THOMAS I. BUTKIEWICZ TIN MEMORJIAM lt is with a deep sense of loss and a hope that he dwells in a hettcr world than this, that we dedicate this page to the memory of Tom Butkiewicz. who, if death had not intervened, would have graduated with this year's senior class. The faculty and students of Wycxlning Seminary were shocked last year upon hearing of Tom's death on Fehruary 25, 1948. Tom, a memher of the junior claw had heen confined to the hospital for several weeks, hut no one realized how serious was his illness until it was learned that he had fallen prey to the dread leukemia. Because of very delicate health. Tom was unalwle to participate in many of the school sports and activities, lallf he WHS a very enthusiastic memher of the Boys' Glce Cluh and the Amphictyon Society, He was a quiet and unohtrusive hoy, always cheerful and good-natured, who had a very deep affection for his school. This is evidenced hy the fact that his last wish was for his junior class ring, the symhol of all that Seminary meant to him. His happiness and pride knew no hounds when this was procured for him a few days hefore his death. We, who were privileged to he Tom's classmates, feel that we, like Seminary, have suffered a great loss in the death of so staunch a friend.
