GIBBEL N the passing of Henry R. Gibbel, juniata lost more than the I President of the Board of Trustees of the College. She lost a sympathetic and generous friend: one who devoted much of his interest and time to juniata, one who never failed to appre- ciate the changes which youth demands. The most note-worthy quality of Henry Gibbel was his interest in so many activities of life. Supreme in his life was his Christian faith. He united with the Church of the Brethren and was called to the ministry in 1914. ln the realm of his business he was also honored. A few weeks before his death he was elected president of the National Association of Mutual Fire Insurance Companies. Henry R. Gibbel was graduated from juniata in 1888. He often spoke of the good things that had come to him through the college, and in turn he gave full measure of service to it as a trustee and lastly as president of the Board of Trustees. His counsel was prized because of his clear discernment, good sense, and direct fairness, tempered by good- will. He was an unusually well balanced man, and the contributions of his life and labors to juniata form a noble heritage. The class of 1929 dedicates this page of the Alfarata to the memory of Henry R. Gibbel. cz-. K 'vjytlllgf ' 'Al .-'. Qtr . 1 .gl K .....-- ilujltnk f g - 1 .n.u.u. 3 Tw ty-five

Likewise, we see the necessity of the decay and death of the flowers ere come the chilling blasts of grim winter. But when darkness falls be- tween morning and noon-Qwhen the flower withers while yet in its fresh- ness and fragrant bloom-we marvel for a reason. ln our tearful ignor- ance, we cannot Gnd a satisfactory answer. When mortals have lived the allotted span and in the evening sink to sleep in the silence of a venerable grave we understand that the relentless hand of time has fairly and naturally claimed its own. Our sorrow is assuaged because we are prepared for the inevitable. But when we see a young life whose heart-beats thrill with the joy of living dashed upon the breakers ere the noon time of life has been reached, we stand shocked and appalled. Such was the passing from us of the lovely young Christian, and unselhsh spirit of our fellow student-Emogene Hanawalt. The lights go out, the sun gives up its shining, And the world is lost in darkness for awhile. And foolish hearts give way to sad repining As if they ne'er again could smile. Why murmur thus, the needful lesson scorning? O read the teacher and his word aright! The world would have no greeting for the morning Were it'not for the darkness of the night. Gene's life was a glorious success. While its full and complete realization failed here, yet, in our hearts, we know that it will be full- rounded and complete 'midst the glories on the Eternal Shore. She had built that young life on enduring and beautiful friendshipsg on a rock- ribbed and absolute trust in the goodness and mercy of Almighty God A life so ordered leads as straight to Heaven's brightest gate as the path of a sunbeam leads to the bosom of a flower.
