IN MEMORIAM Some people possess qualities which make them loved hy all. a sunny disposition, a radiant smile, a willingness to cooperate with fellow-students. These and many other attributes were possessed by Joe Neel. Whenever Joe was present, one could sense his penetrating personality. Perhaps this is why his passing left an emptiness in the hearts of his classmates. Loving memories of Joe will always remain with his many friends. ♦ 13 ♦
