3n jllemoriam During our senior year, the community lost one of its most valued friends and citizens in the death of Frank A. Berry. Mr. Berry was connected with the schools of Bethel for thirty-five years, twenty years of which were spent as superintendent. He also served the community, in which he lived, in many ways. In his church, above all, he took a great interest, serving as delegate to the annual conference, as local elder, as trustee, as steward, and on many of its committees. He was a charter member of the Lions Club, one of its past presidents, and was acting as its secretary at the time of his death. He was the President of the Board of Directors of the Bethel Free Public Library and President of the Visiting Nurse’s Association. He was a member of Eureka Lodge A.M., and F.M., and also past patron of the Greenwood Chapter O.E.S. At the time of Mr. Berry's death he was serving as town assessor. His example of service to his community should be an inspiration to us all and our greatest aim in life should be to serve as he has served.
