As a school, we were recently called upon to mourn the death of our beloved friend and fellow student, Charles Edward Hall. His loss is a sad and irreparable one. XYith a natural ability for leadership, he was the moving spirit of many school organizations. lYith his talent for journalism, it was only natural that he should be found on the staff of the Red and Green for 1917-18, and that he should be elected editor-in- chief for 1918-19. The two early issues of this year contain editorials from his pen, and similarly would this department of the Senior Annual have been headed by his editorials, if he had been spared to us, but, as it is, his picture must suffice. lt was Charlieys dearest wish to make this year's annual a splendid and true representation of the school. lt has been with this wish in view, that the staff and students have labored. May his spirit, so breathed into this magazine, make of it the success he would have wished. A. R. '19. 16

To Charles Edward Hall Ah! Friend, how sad we all do feel each day. How lonesome have become these darkened halls. How clear we hear your voice as it still calls Some word of cheer or hums some merry lay. You n'er were destined to be called to pay The sacrifice supreme or view the walls All torn nor see a comrad as he falls. Your course lay in a vastly different way. As I look up I see thy piercing eye And still recall your face as you did stand That last yet happy time before us all. Ah! Friend, With pain each one now stills a sigh And wonders why before all in the land You should so early hear the fateful call. Lytron A. Scholpp, '2O.

Hall, had passed away, the following resolutions were adopted: First: That the class should enter upon a period of mourning and in significance thereof that the gavel should be draped. Second: That a committee should be appointed for the purpose of drawing up a ntting tribute to the life and character of our late friend and classmate. Third: That the said resolution should be spread upon the records of the class and a copy of the same should be sent to the parents of our beloved friend. The following tribute was drawn up by the committee and un- animously adopted by the class: Charles Edward Hall Charles was a young man of sterling worth and nobility of char- acter. His charming personality and democratic manner won for him the love and admiration of everyone with whom he came in contact. Every position of responsibility and trust placed upon him he fulfilled with a remarkable ability, characteristic of his natural and individual powers of leadership. His cheerful ccncern in the welfare of others and his willingness to do whatever was asked of him even at the sac- rifice of his own interests were his most predominant qualities. lYe cannot say too much of t'harlie'sU wide influence among all the students of the schcol. ln his office as chairman of the mass meet- 17
