- JUNE .-.NINETEEN .-.FORTY IN MEMORIAM RICHARD FINDEISEN-NOVEMBER 1938 In November 1938, there was a collision between an automobile and a truck in which several boys from Germantown High were injured while on their way to a practice football game on our school field. As a result of his injuries, Dick Findeisen died a few days later, just as the football team, of which he was a member, was scheduled to play the annual Frankford game. Dick was with the team in spirit, for he sent the boys his best wishes, and asked them to win for his sake. When Dick's passing was flashed over the wire, and announced between halves, the tribute paid to his memory made a profound impression long to be remembered. . That Dick Findeisen was loved by his friends was evidenced by the establishment of a memorial in his honor by the Germantown HifY of which he was a member. In humbly trying to preserve his memory, Mr. and Mrs. Findeisen presented a cup in the Senior Athletic Assembly to the boy possessing qualities which in Dick were admired by his class mates-characteristics of a ine Christian spirit, generosity, and helpfulness to others. WHERE THE RAINBOW NEVER FADES It cannot be that the earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a mere bubble cast up by eternity to float a moment on its waves and then sink into nothingness. Else why is it that the glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our heart are forever wandering unsatisfied? Why is it that all the stars that hold their festival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory? And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty presented to our View are taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber in the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which now pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.
