We still hear his word of encouragement. He was our friend. And he has passed into that hinterland from which no traveler returns. Anthony . fecngs was formerly a member of the Class of 1918. He completed his Junior year and then for two year he fought a brave battle against constant sickness. This year he began his Senior year. All those who knew him wel- comed him hack, for “Tony was our huddic. In the winter he left us. He is gone and yet lie is with us. When we think of him. we feel that we can work just a little harder because of him. When we consider our conversations with him. we feel that life is just a little more worth while living. Anthony was known as a strong. Christian character. His life pointed to the upward way. God took him. That was our joy. He knew God. That was his joy—and ours. Surely II 'e trust he lives in Thee; .■hid there tee find him worthier to be loved. 28 Anthony Mkenc.s
