The 1950-51 session was Ann’s first year in school, and according to her teacher, Miss Farris, she was a most considerate and likable pupil and well above the average in classroom work. Long will our many hearts remember The smiling face of little Ann, But now she's ‘gone—and with a song To a better and happier land. Though it’s Gcid’s will, we miss? her still As every day goes by, But it’s not t}he whole of Life to live Nor all of Death to die. Let the peace and love she had inspire Each heart she leaves behind. 'For to love is life— Death crowned iit eternal and divine; And a child awakes into a light Whose day. shall never die in night.
