HENRY FRIEDMAN Minister, Lake Street Methodist Church. It was my privilege to have known Sam G. Davey for over twenty-five years. He was a man of superior ability, of genuine integrity, of unquestioned leadership and most especially with a great abiding love for people. He will be sorely missed in educational circles in Wisconsin. The schools and students of Eau Claire will need to continue their high accom- plishments in his memory and accomplishments are to be properly revered. G. E. WATSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction AM G.

Davey could not find more 9005 'hm' bod-H oAvio BARNES Principal, Eau Claire Senior High School We're proud of our new Sam G. Davey Memorial elemementary school. Life's work is over, The toiler's hands are stilled, Begins at last the greater work The Father's Heart has willed. The unsmitted cheek lies turned and cold, The guiding vision gone, But the light he left keeps shining bright To beckon his followers on. Blessed are those who lived to know This true and loving friend, But twice blessed is he who lived his life, A Christian teacher to the end. In Memorium - Sam G. Davey
