IN MEMORY OF JOHN PIERSON—(19581974) To lose a friend is the greatest of all evils but endeavour rather to rejoice that you possessed him than to mourn his loss. —Seneca A person's Senior Year at High School is a year of great joy and great sorrow. It is the joy of fulfilling many long term friendships and it is the sorrow of terminating many long term friendships. It is a time when a boy enters manhood and can plan and watch as his young life takes shape. It is always a tragedy when such a person, so young and full of life, is taken from our midst. John Pierson was such a man. cut down in the full bloom of youth. All we have left is the stunned sense of loss and the question. “Why did it have to be John?” We can do no more for John, he is now with God. All we can do is make this last attempt to do justice to his memory. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so: ... . .. One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more: Death thou shall die! —John Donne 135
