' 4 -L 4? .A li- 3111 iliiemnriam RUTH PAPE 1912-1927 This commemorates the going of our dearly beloved friend and schoolf mate, Ruth Pape. She has passed from us but the inspiration of her beautiful life remains, not a pale Hag of death but a banner of challenge to every student in Danville High School to attain to higher scholarship, social standing, and fineness of character. - Her life was crowded with activities. She had attained to the stand- ing of Junior, was treasurer of the Science Club, a member of the Latin Club, Girls' Club, and Maroon and White Staff. Ruth was born in Pontiac, Illinois, April 11, 1912, daughter of Erwin R. and Cora Heppe Pape. She moved to this city with her parents eleven years ago. Her death occurred at the Lakeview Hospital, Tuesday, Janu- ary 4, 1927. The funeral service was held in the First Presbyterian Church. .A great number -of Danville High School students were in at- tendance. Ruth is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Pape, her sister, Mary, Catherine, and brother Bobbie. ' ROBERT OST , , , u 1910-1927 Robert Ost was born January 17, 1910, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ost. He was an active member of the Second Church of Christ, and had not missed Sunday School for seven years. He entered high school in February, 1924, and took an active part in the activities. He was a mem- ber of the Rand for three years and was the leading cornetist of that organization. He was very faithful to this organization, and was present at every concert given by it. i , I , WILLIAMSON ARCHEY - 1907-1926 Williamson Archey is not only missed by the faculty but by the student body in general. He was very studious and would have graduated in June. He was a fair and square player in all walks of life. Williamson was prominent in athletics. His death was not only a sorrow to his family, but to the whole community. This verse typifies the loss of Williamson: Keep fresh the grass upon his grave, O Rotha, with thy living wave! Sing him thy best, for few or none, ' Hears thy voice right, now he is gone. PgT ty
