WE MOURN THE LOSS OE A FELLOW STUDENT. On Saturday evening, February 21, Lawrence Kolean, freshman, was fatally injured in an auto- mobile accident. At the age of nineteen, he was denied the years for which he was then preparing. Lawrence was born in Holland on May 12, 1922. He was graduated from Holland High School in 1940. After one year, he entered the college in the fall of 1941. His life stretched out ahead of him, giving all the promise that every life gives. He was one of a world-wide group undergoing training pre- paratory to making its individual contributions to the world. 26 Lawrence Kolean was a quiet boy. His professors noticed a cooperative spirit and sincere nature. All who knew him liked him, because he was one who instinctively inspired a confidence in his good faith. That is a quality too few possess. We don't know why, after only 19 years, a period of some fifty or sixty years was taken from him. But we do know there is a good reason he was made. on February 21, to open his eyes on a new world- a world which, for some reason, needed him more than this one.
