DEDICATION EDWARD REED Dec. 1927—Aug. 1948 Memories linger with all of us through the passing years. The members of this graduating class, as many before us, will have some fond, some gay, some disheartening, some inspiring, memories to carry from these portals with us. This class has chosen to dedicate its yearbook, which marks an important and sue cessful journey for us all, to our beloved classmate, Edward Reed, who has passed away from this earthly scene. He will not march triumphantly with us on commencement day. He cannot share in the preparations, the excitement, and the sense of accomplishment, which we carry within our inner selves. He will not see “the grass grow green on these sacred grounds this Senior year. But he will never be forgotten. Whenever the mighty toll in the belhtower of Cresson Hall is heard, we will think of the faithful sexton. Nelson Collins and Ernest Artis, his “ole gals, will carry his spirit with them wherever they go. His teammates on the boxing and wrestling teams will not forget him. The bell of life has tolled for Eddie. It has just begun for us. We will cherish his memory and carry on. He has gone ahead—we will join him when our battle is won.

FDHEWORD As you stand before the dawning of success, Lool{ back but once! Look back remembering all the years Of war and peace and human fears. Look back remembering all your plans To make it safe, this world of mans. Look back remembering those who fell Along the way. Remember well Their simple and their grand designs. And let their failures serve as signs. Look back, but only once! As you stand there dazzled by dawn's brilliant light. Look back but once! Look back and call up from the mass The doubtful years we call the past; And cherish them for what they are. Each, one step closer to your star. Look back recalling golden days When haughty voices sang the praise Of brotherhood. They are not gone. They dazzle with your shining dawn. Now turn remembering all these things And go and state your claim with J ngs. Walter H. Brooks, Jr. Editor, '49 Lion Four
