ROBERT BARTHOLOMEW Every noble life, be it long or short, leaves behind it an undying glow, a radiant splendor that lives on with the years. Such a life was Robert’s. A rare personal charm and a gracious nature endeared him to all. Into the classroom he carried a spirit of cheerful willingness and earnest effort which won for him a high rank as a student. In all school activities he felt a deep interest and took an active part. The sterling qualities of character were his—manliness, purity of thought, nobility of aim, high ideals of life. And permeating all, like rays of sunlight, was his deep joy in living.

 ws lstohicufr IHKIIEG IN APPRECIATION We, the Class of 1923, wish to express to Mr. Edward Dankert, an alumnus of 1917, our thanks and appreciation for his work in our behalf. Mr. Dankert was the artist for The Elstonians of 1915 and 1916, and much of the effectiveness and success of these publications was due to his work. He has given much of his time to the art work and to the arrangement of this volume, features for which The Elstonian of 1923 will be long remembered. We thank, you, Mr. Dankert, “ye loyal son of M. C. High.” 1923
