IN MEMORIAM We, the class of 1923, most affectionately dedicate this section of our Annual to our esteemed friend and classmate, Lillian Helga John- son, who departed from this life January 9, 1923. The great sorrow caused by liillian's death has been deeply felt by the entire student body as she was loved by all who knew her. Lillian was an excellent student and always devoted herself ardently to whatever task was allotted to her. Shehwas fond of all kind of athletic sports and always threw her whole strength! into the game. Her cheerful smile and sunny disposition, together with her beau- tiful character, was an inspiration to the 'school and community. Lillian was robust and the picture of health until' the fatal accident which at first seenied but a, trifie, but later developed into complica- tions which ended inzthe sad event. The sad part comef fromthew fact of her being too young, as she was born December 6, 1905, at Estella, 'Wisconsin, being only a little more than seventeen years of age. During her primary grades, Lillian attended the Estella school. She entered the Cornell school in her fourth year. In the grades she was a good classmate, eager to help others, and when she entered High School, this made her one of the dependable girls who could be called on at any time, She would have been an honored graduate of the class of '23. One morning, wl1e11 hurrying to be prompt for class, Lillian ran a sliver into her hand while hanging up her coat. She tried to remove it herself but did not succeed in getting it all out. A few days later she had to receive medical care, because infection had set in. It was thought best to take her to the hospital at Chippewa Falls. Here it was learned that blood poisoning had set in. Lillian was in a critical condition for a few days, but the best medical care obtainable could not save her, and she met her untimely death on January 9, 1923. The entire student body greatly regrets her loss, for in her they lost a faithful friend, good schoolmate and co-operative worker. The Senior class felt her loss most, for she was a member of '23.
