In Memoriam Thomas Glenn Hollandsworth May i6, 1930 — June 19, 1945 Fifteen years — a span of life very short but crowded with interests, activities and kindness. The Graduating Class of ’47, of which Glenn was a member, hold fondest memories of their acquaint- ances and comradeship with him as a fellow classmate and friend. As a sophomore, he played center on the basketball team, was an active member of the Athenian Literary Society and of the Glee Club. Glenn was admired by all who knew him for his kindliness of manner and for his unquestioned faith in the potentialities of youth. youth to whom was given So much of earth, so much of Heaven.
