Jtx Mmnrtam ENGLE LARRY HANKINS Died November 19, 1944 Our classmate who was snatched away By death’s resistless hand, Our hearts this mournful tribute pay Which pity must demand. We grieve his absence day by day As about our tasks we go; We miss him more them words can say, Yet God called him we know.
