OF ONE WHO LIVED VALIANTLY She who lived valiantly has passed, Why should we grieve, Why should it break out hearts Like this if we believe? Surely she lives more valiantly Than ever before, Freed, as she is, to move without The weights she bore; Freed for the sweet adventurings Of heavenly days, Lightened, to go exploring down The glory -ways. What must those first hours be to Her who loved life so? How swift, how very swift and Glad her feet must go! She who lived valiantly has Passed, who should we grieve? Why should it break our hearts L ike this if we believe? Grace Noll Crowell 3- JUNIOR PLAY CAST - STANDING: B. Heckley, D. Dailey, B. Fosnight, P. Myers, M. Ingle, L. Heckley, J, Grewe, N.
