▲ A ▲ A IN MEMORIAM MR. CLARENCE E. NORRIS Our Bulkeley School flag, today, is at half-mast as we as a school mourn the passing of one of our most beloved teachers. The keen sorrow which all of us feel who have known Mr. Clarence Norris is manifesting itself all about us. The name of Mr. Clarence Norris will remain forever enshrined in the heax-ts and minds of our faculty, students, and his countless friends. He was loved by all who knew him. Mr. Clarence Norris was more than just a teacher, more than just an interesting person, he was a living example of a hard working, enthusiastic teacher and advisor who attained the highest success in his chosen profession because of his high scholarly attainments, personality and his many other commendable endowments. There was not a single scar, or stain in his character. There was never a sign of weakness of will, nor any mean or selfish tendencies in his nature. His splendid personality and his remarkable mental attainments placed him in the foreground of our school life. In spite of all of these traits, Mr. Norris was unostentatious and never pretending in mood, work, or deed. His character from the beginning to the end of his long service at Bulkeley was most exemplary. He bore his virtues without any semblance of superiority or ever to point out the weakness or failing of others. The faculty and students always found him to be friendly, sympathetic, and cooperative in everything that was wholesome and worthwhile. In the language of William Cullen Bryant, in his great elegiac poem: “So live, that when the summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” Thus did Clarence Norris, at Sunday midday, clad in the robes of love and respect of his fellowmen, slip away into Life Everlasting. Death to him was not a fearsome prospect, but something to be met with courage and cheer. He lived nobly; of the earth, earthly; and as the spirit, saintly. Like Mr. Chips, he died with the long caravan of his Bulkeley boys engraved upon his heart: to him they were like members of his own family in whom he placed his trust that they will forever sustain and advance the interests of our Alma Mater. Go forth, Gallant Knight, Galahad of Bulkeley School, farewell, Friend of a generation of Bulkeley men: Vale, Bone Amice “Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.”
