ln Memoriam Donald Meryl Valbert, better known as Don, who was born on November 6, 1924, and taken from us on November 7, 1941, was a well known Senior in the Harter Stanford Township High School. He was taken from our midst by a most untimely death, but we must remember, as a wise man once wrote, that Heaven gives its favorites-early death. HE IS JUST AWAY I cannot say, and I will not say, That he is dead,-He is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you--O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here, Think of him still as the same, I say: He is not dead--he is just away! RUTH NEIL SMITH june 7, 1924-January 13, 1942 To you, Neil, who has gone from us We bid you a fond farewellg We'll miss you-Yes, we'll miss you More than we can ever tell. For you were young America Undaunted and Unafraidg You gave and took and laughed and joked And many a friend you made. Those friends will remember you always The cheer you brought with you, Your carefree, happy attitude, And as a pal who was always true. Farewell from H. S. T. H. S. Especially from the Senior Class VVe'll remember you in the years to come just like we have the last. MARJORIE BARR. Paqe MoN1cAL. Fo
