An Appreciation Philosophers tell that it matters not how short a time we live, if only we live well. Mr. Henry Cobb, who was a teacher in our school for less than a half year, well exemplified this theory. During the short time that IVlr. Cobb was with us, he entered more fully into the many activities of school life than do many others less talented than he. A musician of no mean ability, he led our band. From earliest childhood interested in military work, he drilled our cadets. By nature sociable, he mingled freely with old and young, even chaperoning school parties as if he enjoyed them. His artistic alfility was put to good account when he painted the scenery for Princess Bonnie. His performance as a mem- ber of the Hungry Four demonstrated that he was likewise endowed with histrionic talent. But first, last and always Nlr. Cobb was a man with an earnest purpose. When war broke out he knew that he must offer his all to his country. He did this gladly and willingly. His was no eleventh hour decision. His 'passing though untimely has Qreat glory in it. He gave his life for his country. Could any man ask more? --BESSIE B. BEMENT. 16
