ln Memoriam: Miss Eyes Miss Anna Eyes, as we the students knew her, was one of the kindest, most understanding people on campus. She had the interest of each one of her friends and students locked in her heart, and was always ready with the truly helping hand of friendship. She made us feel at home, The windows of her classroom were comfortable with potted plants, the sweet smile that said, straight from her heart, l'm very glad to see you, was always ready, the subtle sense of humor and the fine feeling for beauty were ever-sparkling springs, gladly overflowing for anyone who sought and wished to partake, Her classes, like her life, were planned and organized, yet not so planned that any interruption or wavering from the course could not be met and carried without faltering. Miss Eves lived by and for Earlham. She left her dearest and nearest possession to Earlham: her home. lt was her wish that it be used as a laboratory cottage by the home economics department. To us, the quiet, peaceful, little brown bungalow, with the welcoming hearth and confidence-warming atmosphere, will symbolize Miss Eves in the essence of her living, ln her home, she will live on-for Earlham. 3 Q15 ,sw-'vis' ' B Page fifteen

She was the gentlest of the valiant That I have ever known, Clear as a woodland spring, and shining Like a white precious stone. We shall find none who pours life's waters With cooler, purer flow, No diamond with a finer luster Ever shall wait and glow, The spring that feeds the one deep river Lives in God's Providence, No substance of the world can sever The diar'nond's permanence. Here we have lost-serene and loyal- The true and perfect friend, But she, who dwells in God forever, Smiles at the endless end, E, MERRILL ROOT
