ELINOR ESTABROOK “None knew thee but to love thee Nor named thee but to praise. On July 8, 1924 our class lost for the first time a member by death, Eleanor Estabrook. Elinor was a very conscientious student and ranked high in all her school work. Her friendship was golden and she had a winning personality. She was a great loss to our class, because she did everything she could to make it a success. She played the violin in the orchestra and also belonged to the Sophomore Hiking Club. We all enjoyed hikes in the wods with her because she knew so much about nature. The morning Elinor was taken ill she had planned to go on a hike with us. As weak as she was she took a history examination in June in order to have credits enough in September to rank as a Junior. Neither Elinor nor any of her friends realized during the winter what a deadly disease was overcoming her, but she struggled on, trying her best to keep up her standard until her strength failed.
