2 2 IN MEMORY OF OUR CLASSMATE MILDRED GRAY ’Tis hard to think that she is dead, And forever gone away. For that's what many people said When they heard of Mildred Gray. She was a very modest girl. She was liked by one and all. God called her from this cruel world. And she answered to His call. She was only sixteen years old, In the spiingtime of her life. And yet no sin had stained her soul. She had met no toils and strife. Her life was like unto a flower, That sprang up in the morning, Anc! flourished in its early hour, Then cut down without warning. But God, who gave life to her And who, too, laid her to rest, Will safely bear her over For He knoweth what is best. OLD NOKOMIS
