3111 illlvmnrium VIRGINIA FERRIS Died Feb. 8, 1922. Virginia Ferris, whose death occurred on Wed- nesday, Feb. 8, 1922, was born Oct. 14, 1901. Both the student body and the faculty of the High School were visibly saddened by her death. She is missed not only by the class of '23 of which she was a mem- ber, but by all who knew her. She was an excellent student and she was also very active in athletics, playing' o11 the Girlls Basket Ball team and taking' a great interest in all other sports of the school. She was genial, kind and thoughtful of others, therefore although her death had been anticipated for lllany weeks, it could not help but carry with it a shock. It is indeed sad that one so young' must die, but the will of God must be done, and it is with this thought that the students of llc-undsville High School extend their heart felt sympathy to her bereaved family. Virg1inia's many friends expressed their sym- pathy with beautiful floral tributes, the like of which was hardly ever seen in Bloundsyille. The commit- tee who represented the -Iunior Vlass at the funeral was composed of: Ilelen Iflrnst, Miriam Stultz and Margaret lfrancis. The funeral was one of the larg- est ever seen in Bloundsyille, all who knew Virginia having' come to participate in the last sad earthly rites.
