IN MEMORY OF KATIE RUTH ROSSER On January 29th, 1922. God sent a message by one of his angels to call Katie Ruth home. Nothing caused more pain and grief than the death of a classmate, and a dear friend. Never shall we forget those beautiful eyes that were filled with laughter, nor her sandy golden hair. Her sweet face was like the sunshine. Lovely, livingly, intelligent and affectionate was she. The loss of this young lady brings a deep shadow of darkness to us. But some day there will be a light. O! a beautiful bright light that will break through this shadow, and then there will be a great reunion that shall never he broken. There i- one who careth and loveth the young and old alike. That far beyond the grave our Heavenly Father has prepared a beautiful home for Katie Ruth, while she dwells with us no longer in body she is present in spirit. She too had looked forward to the graduating night of Twenty-five” when she would stand with her dass to receive Iter diploma. Katie Ruth enjoyed school work and she more than loved to be with the girls and boys. She was jolly and willing to help every one. Her life was filled with sunshine and smiles. The little path she traveled was scattered with dainty white flowers which led Heavenward. She was sick only a short time, and all was done that prevailing hands could do to save her precious life. Just as the golden sun was sinking In the West one Sunday evening, That God saw fit to call her home To dwell with the angels up above. She shall always live in our memory Soon we shall meet, never again to Part in the sweet by and by. CORNELIA MARSH IN MEMORY OF MISS DICKEY On a bright morning in September of 1921, the doors of McAdory High School swung open ami the Iwiys and girls marched in to meet and greet their teachers. Among those of the faculty who were new and «trange to us was Julia Elizabeth Dickey; not for long was she a stranger as her bright smiles and kind words won for her a place in our hearts. Her stay with u was brief for her health failed and then one sad tlay came the news that Miss Dickey was gone—We will not say dead—for in our hearts she still lives and in that land where she has gone “there is no death. Dear Miss Dickey your blue eyes arc closed forever and your sweet face no more we see, hut may we as pupils he inspired by your untiring efforts to help us to a higher and nobler life. And when the long years of the future have rolled by and we sit musing on the past—when we turn the pages of memory's book and gaze on the faces pictured there none will be brighter or better loved than that of Julia Elizabeth Dickey.
