IAMES EMERICH MURRAY Death is a mystery-but only to those who have not died. We, the living, grope to know why Iames Emerich Murray should have died so young. What purpose could his few years have served, years crowded with promise but with so little time for accomplishment, years of preparing cut short in the face of achievement? Iim was with us for the past four years, with us at our books, at our games, in our friend- ship and our fun, striving with us after the stature of an educated man of Christ. In the light of after days our high school years are all of striving, all of preparing. On our night of graduation we stand ready to realize something of the ioy of achievement. But we are the living and he is deadl Emerich died early in the moming-that is the time when mysteries are solved, for that is the hour of the first ray oi light. In his vision of Christ, Who transforms darkness into light, did he not see the wisdom of his striving after that Christlike stature: did he not find that our lives, be they ever so long, are but a preparation for the hour before the dawn when in quiet and stillness the mystery will be solved? And so, while we mourn the passing of our friend and sin- cerely sympathize with his parents, we shall always hold Emerich, in death, as a holy memory, a symbol and a shrine. equiesnat illll are
