Memorial to Helen Heusinger Helen Sabine Heusinger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Heusinger, was born in Grand Island, Nebraska, on March 23, 1904. She was graduated from the Dodge school in June, 1918, and the following September entered the Grand Island High School. On account of serious illness she was compelled to drop out of school for the remainder of the year. She again entered high school in the fall of 1919, and con- tinued her studies in the business course until shortly before her death which occurred on March 1, 1928. In spite of her frequent illness she was well up with her class, and would have been graduated this year. She attended the English Lutheran Church. She was held in high esteem by the members of her class and was elected to the office of Vice-President of her class in her Junior year, and served on many committees. She will always be remembered as a cheerful, joyous girl, never complaining, and ever thoughtful of others. Strew on her roses, roses, Her life was turning, turning, And never a spray of yew! In mazes of heat and sound, In quiet she reposesg But for peace her heart was yearning, Ah, would that I did so too! And now peace laps her round. Her mirth the world required, Her cabined, ample spirit, She bathed it in smiles of glee. It fluttered and failed for breath. But her heart was tired, tired, To-night it doth inherit And now they let her be. The vasty hall of death. -Arnold.

It has been the purpose of the 1923 Purple and Gold Staff to set a goal which will be the ambition of ,all future staffs to reach, and we feel that we have succeeded. It has been our aim to record in this issue of the Purple and Gold all phases of the school life which have made the past school year the most outstanding in the history of Grand Island High School. We are proud of the new work which has been successfully introduced during the year, proud of the fact that in this high school there are those who are willing to devote their time to such activities. We have endeavored to give no one department more prominence than any other. It is the desire of all members of the staff that this Purple and Gold convey to the minds of all, higher scholarship, better fellowship, and greater sportsmanship which have been so conspicuous a feature of all high school activities this year. We, the members of the staff, wish to express our sincere appreciation to all members of the faculty, to the student body, to the advertisers, and to all others who have helped to make this publication of the Purple and Gold possible.
