In memory of Bryan Schapmire Our Bryan was loved by all, Bryan loved all. When no one else cared, Bryan cared - a person complete in himself, yet still growing, developing out towards others. Bryan was a quiet person - yet one always sensed his presence. He was a good sport: he was a good student, he was dedicated, he was dependable. Sports were the love of his life. A football play er of three years, 472 was a virile number of the team, practicing relentlessly and playing like- wise. In the spring it was track, putting the shot and throwing the discus. In the 1972-73 season he became the most outstanding in the field of wrestling: with the rank of letterman, he,went on to win in the district wrestling match. A participant in Eisenhower's dramatic productions, Bryan was a Thespian. He appeared in THE CLOD, OUR TOWN, Eisenhower Variety Show, and he was to be in THE MUSIC MAN. He even helped backstage as in OUT OF THE FRYING PAN. Enthusiastic and quiet, the teacher's viewed him as dependable. One could count on him to show up, to be there - a constant source of strength and encouragement. Respect was shown for everyone and everything that merited it. With so much to offer and so much to do, Bryan was preparing for the future, weighing and measuring all objectives and alternatives. He was probably never really aware of how he was loved by his teachers, his coaches, and his friends. We will all miss him.
