31n jHemortam JOAN HERSHEY Eugene was a hardy, handsome fellow whose great fondness for the outdoors added zest to his personality. Eugene was a friendly individual with a cheerful attitude toward life which not only helped others to feel happy in his own happiness but also netted him a great host of friends. In his heart he had a special place for his beloved trombone; this led him to become an ardent band lover and a faithful band student. Eugene died on April 3, 1945. We last saw him in his beloved band uniform; thus shall we ever remember our friend and former classmate. To know Joan was to like her, for her happy smile and friendly manner touched the hearts of all who knew her. Joan possessed a natural beauty, a kind and sincere nature, and a vitality which made her an outstanding person. She was an outstanding athlete, excelling in all sports. Joan’s earthly life ceased on August 7, 1946. Though removed from our midst, she has been and will ever be present in our memories. EUGENE HARLACHER THOMAS RY’AN: Tommy was a friendly fellow with a remarkable tranquil nature. Never offensive, he could take great pride in his friendships which remained steadfast and pleasant. He liked people and people liked Tommy; this won’t be forgotten. Tommy suddenly slipped away from his loved ones and friendships in February, 1948. We miss him. Always he will hold a place in our hearts as a boy who never revealed a lack of either cheerfulness or friendliness. ★ ★ ★ “We have left but one last tribute to pay To those who have fallen along life’s way; A tribute in words of memories most fair Of our dear classmates who lie in God’s care.”
