Jual, Wwwuui RTW M31 DON SEIFERT JIM WILKINSON Will you pause and reflect? Each one of you In remembrance of these God s chosen two Let us not do this in a spirit of sadness or despair But rather with an att tude of prayer That our loved one s trials and troubles are o er They have met on that beautiful shore They have sailed the sea but not alone God led them safely to their eternal h ome Now they dwell in that Mar-sion above Secure and serene in our Savior s love For them no more t uggle or strife In a world where beauty and chaos are rife For tfiem n For they have met their pilot face to face And the solidarity of our faith in he who bore the cross . . . Lightens the burd o more wars or national disgrace en of our great loss . . . For we know full well what ere betide We too someda with H' . . . y im will abide . . . For we know full-well that come what may . . . We shall meet again someday . . . Jim Wilkinson met his death in the fall of his sophomore year in an automobile accident. Donn Seifert passed away after a cerebral hemorrhage ' h in t e summer of l952 before his entrance into his senior year. Our beloved classmates and friends will long be remembered for their spirit and enthusi- asm. Our thoughts of them will constantly remain unfaded by time . . . EH
