FLORENCE WEEKS The awful tragedy by which our Florence Was taken from our ranks to home above Has wrenched our hearts and left us greatly saddened, And yet we know our Ruler works in love. For out of all the horror and the heartache, Our sum in life ' s addition we shall learn; Our lives we ' ll give unto the Master ' s purpose And strongly from our thoughtless ways we ' ll turn. Our Florence, whom we all had loved so dearly, Is missed by every student, one and all; But in our mem ' ry we shall hold her image, Until we, too, must answer to the call. Our comrade ' s life was filled with beauty, Was glorious in godliness and truth; She left a record here of strength and duty That few have equaled in their days of youth. She loved us with a wealth of happy giving, And she was ever friend, alike to all; We feel that she was ready for the reaping, To answer brightly to the Master ' s call. The flower of her life in earthly blossom Has left us mem ' riea as a sweet perfume; The opened bud but lives in fairer gardens, And we that stay will grow to richer bloom. P« K r I 3

EMPTY PLACES In Memonj 01 Leone Brown The empty spaces of the open air Lie vast and lonely underneath the stars; The questing wind that heavy silence mars In sighing search for those no longer there. We view with misty eyes that empty chair; The vacant seats of those we loved, as scars Upon our plans, remind us of the bars That leave us all bereft, and bent in prayer. A whisper echoes thru the open sky, And all the waste, so desolate and ban ' . Is spirit ' filled, no more to be alone, And so, in answer to our broken cry, The words return, Be not o ' erwhelmed with i In you may bloom the spirit of Leone. Pap is
