QQRQQJ' 73414 - DEATH sssmif ,.... Q 1h1 Ilbemorium Y' fs::: ' VIRGINIA WARNER Silently and without warning on December 10, 1924, did the hand of Providence descend from the heavens and remove from amongst us our beloved classmate, Virginia Warner. Virginia was an ever loyal supporter of the High School. Her primary thought was of credit to the school. Her life was filled with hard study and as a result of overwork her health broke down and she was forced to give up her work forever on this earth. But, the spirit that inhabited her soul is still living and guiding others toward the high ideals that she so earnestly sou ht. Virginin was seventeen years, six months, and two days old when she died. Sie was a member of the Curtain Club, of the Girl's Glee Club, and was secretary of the Senior Class at the time of her death. It is a part of God's great plan that when a life has fulfilled its mission on earth that the soul be rewarded with everlasting peace and happiness. Virginia had fulfilled her mission on earth so well that as a reward her Creator took her home to Him. So with this in mind and her noble life before us as an example, we, the members of the Moundsville High School extend to the bereaved members of the family our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. Geraldine Bosworth. '25.
