IN MEMORY O Ce erate ae a ae RPS Te OR Ye RE VNNEREReMRREED Se SRR Go te 5 Pe. ae em ea OE Rag eB egg) Tracey Henderson Crouch William Oliver Burgess, Jr. During the course of our education the class of 1978 has been deeply grieved by the loss of three of its members. All were great friends and their deaths have left permanent marks on our lives which will never diminish. Since the unwarranted death of William O. Burgess by a fatal train cross- ing accident, the tragic loss of Tracey Crouch who was killed on the pedestrian walk so close to the school, and finally the untimely death of Kelly Smither, snatched from our midst so suddenly during our graduation year, we have been re- peatedly sent on a downhill plight where the emo- tions within us have been severely tried. This page is dedicated in memory of these mem- bers of the class of 1978. May their ideals and memories live within us as we venture out to com- plete our own lives ever realizing the necessity of today because of the uncertainity of tomorrow.
