MARY ELE1-:NE YVALSH llIARIAN E. GIMBER 'n Hilemoriam On December 4, 1941, death overtook our beloved classmate, Mary Eleene Walsh in her sixteenth year. Her char- acter and personality during her two briel' years at the Academy endeared Mary Eleene to all who knew her. Most keenly does the class of '43 remember her cheery, Hi girls, her kind, sympathetic manner, her joy in living, her last but futile effort to begin her junior year, her loyalty and love for S.B.A., her teachers, and the girls. Adelaide Buechele, '43 Marian E. Gimber, one of our dearest classmates, died August 22, 1940, at the age of sixteen. For the five short months God permit- ted us to know her, Marian conquered the heart of every girl by her understand- ing character and gentle disposition. She was among the best loved girls of her class. Her one ambition was to give her- self to God, to become a novice. Marian will continue to live in the hearts and memory of her classmates. Rita Lowenheim, '43
