Jtt JJkmoriam PATRICIA ANN SHREDER Another year has come and gone and while it has been a time of great joy, it has not been without its moment of sorrow. In the summer of 1943 Patricia Ann Shreder was taken from our midst by a tragic accident. The vacancy created by Patsy’s passing will not readily be filled, for she exemplified the highest type of American girlhood. Ever friendly and cooperative, she was admired by both faculty and students. Her high integrity and conscientious attitude toward school work is an inspiration to all of us. Patsy was born October 23, 1925. She lived nearly all her life in Attica, attending St. Vincent’s grade school. She spent her Freshman and Sophomore years in Alexander Central School. Returning to us in 1942 she completed her Junior year and would have been graduated with the Class of 1944. Our lives have been made brighter by knowing Patsy and in this bereavement let us find comfort in the faith expressed in the lines written by Longfellow: There is no death! What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life Elysian, Whose portal we call Death.”
