IN MEMORIAM MR. RIERLIN L. RIDGEXVAY June 29, 1950, marked the passing of a loyal friend of Neenah High School and a faith- ful member of the Board of Education. Mr. Merlin L. Ridgeway came to Neenah in 1937 from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to join the staff of the Equitable Reserve Association. A year later he became assistant secretary, and in another year took over the actuarial duties. In April of 1943, Mr. Ridgeway be- came secretary, the position he held until his untimely death. On july 1, 1950, he would have become vice-president, an office to which he had been elected twenty days pre- viously. Mr. Ridgeway, born at Plymouth, Iowa, November 4, 1894, a graduate of Coe College, served in the United States Army in France during VVorld War I. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Neenah Ro- tary Club, a Thirty-Second Degree Mason, and a member of the Board of Education for six years. Although Mr. Ridgeway was not well known to some Neenah High School students, his influence was felt through his work on the Board of Education, and his loss to the com- munity has been greatly felt by all who knew him.
