1% £MEMO%IAM George Crowell A victim of influenza, he passed from this life at twenty-one years of age. He was a Freshman in Sacramento Junior College at the time of his death, and, although one of our number less than six months, he had already established a reputation for kindness and lovable Qualities which endeared him to all. Athletic, a good student, genial, it seemed likely that he was to take his place among our best-known and most honored students. But it was not to be. One day he was with us, instinct with life, happy, apparently with the promise of many years of useful existence ahead of him; the next, that fell disease which is man¬ kind’s heritage from the great war had seized him, and soon he was with us no more. The promise had not been kept; one place in our ranks is vacant; one voice of our many voices is heard no more. That future to which he hopefully looked is not. Perhaps he now looks upon and joys in a better future. Who knows? Who knows? ’Twixt two eternities we stand— The Past and Future—and are blind to each. The Past, it is a vague and unknown land; The Future, naught save faith and hope may reach. Shall we then wring our hands in black despair And mutter, “Naught remains beyond the grave”? Not while Faith whispers, “Perfect life is there, And not where Earth’s mad passions rant and rave.” He had his dreams, who is with us no more. He had his hopes; were they all less than vain? Is life one ceaseless lie, bejeweled o’er With dreams that vanish in a mist of pain? We’ll not believe it, neither you nor I; We’ll hold to faith that somewhere all is well, That in the unseen land beyond the sky He waits to greet us from life’s prison cell. He is not dead; he has but gone away. He waits for loved ones who yet linger here. In some fair land beyond our night and day He waits and is content, since God gives cheer. Across the boundless sea that sweeps between We reach our hands to him who went before, Our friend and schoolmate whom the shadows screen From those who love him as they loved of yore. A. J. WATERHOUSE
