-------- The Lancastrian - -l LILLIAN BROWN All of the student body and fac-- ulty of Lancaster Academy were shocked to hear of the death of one of the Academy seniors, Lillian Brown, on January 26, 1946. Her death. came as a complete surprise to all, since she had been at school only two days before. Lillian was born in Dummer, New Hampshire, on February 28, 1928. She came to the Academy in 1942. Previously she had attended the Guildhall Central Grammar School in Guildhall, Vermont. Lillian seemed a quiet girl, but hers was the quiet self-possession of one who knows what she wants and what she must do to get it. She went about her affairs, accomplish- ing her tasks in her own quiet way and attaining the satisfaction of a job well-done. Her ambition was to become a nurse. She had already made ar- rangements to enter the Elliott School of Nursing in Manchester. With her calm, patient manner she certainly would have been the per- fect nurse. Although Lillian seemed a re- ticent person, those who knew her well remember her for that serene personality and quiet charm which makes her absence in our class- rooms deeply felt by everyone.

------- The Lancastrian lil-l I I-IIRAM TWITCI-I ELL On July 27, 1941, the people of Lancaster, both young and old, were shocked to learn that fourteen- year-old Franklin Hiram Twitchell had died in the Hanover Hospital, a victim of infantile paralysis. Many had not even known that Hiram was sick, so swiftly and sud- denly had the disease struck. Hiram was born in Lancaster on August 1, 1928. As a youngster he attended private kindergartens and in 1934 entered the first grade at the Lancaster Primary School, thus becoming a member of the present graduating class. He had completed his seventh grade in school when he died. He was a com- municant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, having been confirmed by Bishop Dallas. Hi was an outstanding boy, al- ways happy, friendly, and full of pep. He was a member of the Boy Scouts and thoroughly enjoyed all scouting activities. He loved to play football and basketball, and there was no more ardent baseball fan in the North Country than Hi. One of Hiram's chief joys was his chickens, which he raised and tended himself. As a memorial, Hiram's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Twitchell, presented a plaque to the eighth. grade. Each year at graduation there is inscribed on the plaque the name of the boy, who has, by his conduct and ex- ample, best exemplified the true spirit of sportsmanship. Sally Robinson '46 1946
