.emoriam In. M Charlie Ross j YOUTH in all the glory of his young manhood has been taken from our midst. We miss his smiling greeting in the morning, his courteous manner in the class room, and his good natured acceptance of the various affairs that a day of living brings to us all. He was a prayer band leader, a monitor in Casa Loma hall, and was elected pres¬ ident of the Associated Students of Auburn Academy for 1930-31, which is indicative of the high esteem in which his fellow-students held him. His one outstanding characteristic was the trustworthy, reliable spirit in which he accomplished any duty assigned to him—a dependable trait which endeared him to the hearts of the students and teachers alike. “No stream from its source flows seaward How lonely soever its course, but what some land is gladdened. No star ever rose or set without influence somewhere, Who knov s what earth needs from earth’s lowest creature? No life can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife And all life not be purer and stronger thereby.” e{ 19 }s

.© s “The Associated Students of Auburn Academy will please come to order.” Can t you just see Benny da Silva, our worthy president, as he speaks? He is a man exactly fitted to his task. How the student body sings the school song as he directs them! Ben¬ ny is a monitor on first floor in Casa Loma. A very energetic worker in the annual campaign was Dorothy Motsinger. A more faithful Sabbath school secretary, it would be hard to find. Good nature, grace, and dignity doth she possess. Waldo Roberts is our promising young scientist. He uses big words and does things with test tubes. Sometimes he assists Mrs. Aplington in the chemistry class. Waldo, we think of thee as an honor roll student, a loyal friend, and a mighty man. “Is there something I can do for you?” says our smiling clerk, lone Wood, as vou enter the store. Her name is always one of the first to be read on the honor roll. Wor¬ ship time finds lone promptly in her place at the piano ready to play the opening song. She believes a sense of humor is the salt of the earth; she is fond of dill pickles and insists that the clock must have beenslow. Who? It is none other than Carmen Grandy. These lines remind us of her: “In all thy humors whether grav e or mellow Thou art such a pleasant lassie, Hast so much of wit about thee There is no living without thee.” Seventeen—twenty-three—thirty-seven cents—whew! That checker knows how to check. But my dinner must have cost that for Peggy Benson said so, and Peggy is always right. That isn’t all we remember Peggy for—she is a very efficient office girl and breakfast cook. It you want some one to make something in the woodwork shop, to collect Asso¬ ciated Students dues, to give a reading, to preach a sermon, or to lead an M. V. society, call on our class president, Reginald DeVice. “Is there any more business to be brought before the house?” asks Grace Nickols, president of the Regina Improvement club. Grace knows how to correct papers and she is the prize Spanish II student. Girls, what will you do for finger waves next year when Grace is gone? Helen Sandwick never fails to get our absences down on the absence list and how she laughs at us when we are sent out for free labor! Helen, these lines fit you. “Tell me,” said Helen, “what may be The difference between a clock and me? “Helen,” I cried, “Love prompts my powers To do the task you’ve set them. A clock reminds us of the hours You cause us to forget them.” “The Best in Woodwork” is Charlie Stover’s motto. When not studying you will find him busy with hammer and saw in our wood working department. If you want a poem, see Charlie. Carrol Lyman can play a trombone, or a saxophone, or he can direct if you wish. If you are downhearted he can smile and you will smile too. As a club president he e| 20}®
