Stephen Franklin Karr Zin illllrmnriam Less than a month after this young alumnus of our high school camc back to visit his Alma Mater, he had passed from our lmiidst. Widely known and wellllliked among the entire student body, Stephen Karr had influenced us more than he ever knew. We looked .up to Steve when he was a Senior and laughed when he en- tertained us. He sat in the first chair of the trumpet section of the! band. He played Father in the Senior Play. He was an assistant scoutmaster. In his Senior year Steve won first prize for boys in the Speaking Contest. ln June, 1945, Steve was graduated. Upon graduation he enlllisted in the U. S. Navy from which he was honorably discharged in January, 1947, and came back home to live. Then, in February, 1948 Stephen passed away. The funeral was ,in the Presbyterian Church on a warm, springlike day., A large group of speople of all ages attended and many stood, for lack of seats. There was soft music before the service, which began with a prayer by Rev. James Roy, Pastor of the Larger Parish Church. Following this, there was reading of the scrip- ture by Rev. James Cole, pastor of the Methodist Church and a solo by a young friend, Paull Ritenburg of Arkport. There were a few comforting words, another. prayer and the benediction. Six young men, his friends who had watched him grow up a-nd had grown up with Steve , were pallbearers. A firing squad .stood at attention as they passed. Later came a military salute of 'eight guns followed by the always beautiful notes of Taps Physically this was the end but Stephen will 'live on in the hearts of his many friends. As a group of those friends, we, the Senior Class of 1948, in our yearbook have setaside this page in memory of Stephen Franklin Karr. 27977 P-A c The chseffqin,1948 I8
