,, W7 IN MEMOHIAN 6 0 0 6,06.00.0 In the passing of Mr. Frank W. Speed, the Oxford Orphan- age, its staff of workers, and children have lost a friend sin- cere and true. In his quiet and unassuming manner, he was most conscientious, cooperative, and devoted to the service of the institution, and on the campus, his patience, kindness, and genial spirit will ever be linked with his name. Beyond Life's Dim Horizon Beyond life's dim horizon Is a happy, peaceful land Where travelers are welcomed By a loving, outstretched hand, And every weary traveler Finds a wonderful new li fe That's free from every heartache And every care and strife. For here he meets the Master And his heart is filled with peace- Beyond life's dim horizon Where his joys will never cease. Page Nine

IN APPRECIATION O 0 6 4.64.4009 The unrichment of lives should be one of the chief aims of a counselor. This was truly the keynote of the life and activi- ties of Mrs. Elizabeth Woodruff, while a member of the OX- ford Orphanage staff. She became counselor of Fourth Girls Cottage on August 15, 1943, and remained in that position un- til her retirement, June 1, 1957. During those years she guid- ed and inspired the older girls on the campus. She ever sought to imbue her girls with a spirit of in- tegrity, honor, thoughtfulness for others, true politeness, un- selfish devotion to duty and a real appreciation of beauty and the finer things of life. Those who have had the pleasure and privilege of associat- ing With Mrs. Woodruff feel that her efforts have paved the Way and opened many doors to a fine type of Womanhood. Still alert and delightfully youthful in attitude, she is en- joying her retirement and the visiting in the homes of her four fine children: Martha Sue, in Charlotteg Frances, in Concord, Billy, in Winston-Salem, Rebecca, in Durham, and David, who is an Episcopal rector in Asheboro. , Page -Eleven
