Ga, BlLlUlE and GOLD fu., Zin Memoriam Emmeline Rosina Bubeck Safe, from temptation, safe, from si'n.'s pollution She lives, whom we call dead. Although Emmeline Bubeck has passed from among us, she shall forever live in our hearts and minds as a girl full of spirit, unselfish, and a willing worker. Because of the activities in which she has taken part, she lives, whom we call dead. Emmeline Rosina Bubeck was born on March 28, 1918, and started school with the members of the present Senior class at six years of age in the East Ward School Building. Activeness and a friendly disposition along with strong traits of character made her a friend of all. She was very studious in all her school work. She joined the Girl Scouts- in 1929. During the three years that she was in this organization she attained the rank of a first class scout. She was an industrious and willing worker, not afraid of work and helped in anything that was proposed. Her ambition and un- selfishness were traits which it would do us all well to take as our example. She was very interested and active in church work, being a member of the Christ Lutheran Sunday School and Church, and a regular attendant of services. Emmeline was a student of the College Entrance in Arts Course. She took part in many school activities. In her Freshman year, she was on the Inter-class Basket- ball team and a member of the Press Club. In her Sophomore year she was a member of the Captainball Team and the Inter-Class Basketball Team. In her Junior year she was a member of the Tri-Hi-Y, the Captainball team, the Inter-class Basketball team, and she was a member of the chorus in the Junior Minstrel in which she did a special dance number. She was also a member of the Girl's Gym Team. In her Senior year she was a member of the Blue and Gold Staff, Tri-Hi-Y, Inter-class Basket- ball team and Captain of the Captainball team. By this list of activities we can see that she was an active person and in for everything. Her ambition and aim in life bears out her unseliish and kindly disposition to the end. Emmeline was to become a nurse. She had planned to give the rest of her life, after she was through school for the comfort, care, and relief that she could bring to others. SHE Is Nor DEAD I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead. She is just away. With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since she lingers there. And you-O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return- Think of her fairing on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of her still as the same, I say. She is not dead-she is just away! l1'7l

far., BLUE and GULD fm, Class Poem YOUR ALADDIN LAMP Aladdin, you remember, found a fabled lamp of old, And when he rubbed it, a genie brought him gold, Or jewels, princes' palaces, or wealth beyond compare, Not an ordinary lamp but a magical affair. Its magic brought him riches and made his dreams come true. You, too, are an Aladdin and a magic lamp have you. Your magic lamp you found, just as that youthful Turk. You filled your lamp with oil of long study and hard work. At first you had some trouble to have this oil ignite. And then, as time passed, you saw a tiny light. So often it would sputter, and the iiame became quite low. You tried so hard to feed it and help to make it grow. Constant refueling took time and greatest care. You held on high your treasure, a magic lamp so fair. In gazing all about you, you saw each light had grown. And yet, not one could equal that bright flame of your own. Others, like Foolish Virgins, seemed very much distressed. Then slowly but surely, their light beamed like the rest. Now that tiny light has grown through years of care. It's your Aladdin lamp to treasure and to bear So high, that others seeing it may watch that glaring flame And follow your example-to make theirs' just the same. You've nurtured it, you've strived for it. 'Till now with admiration You hold aloft your Aladdin lamp-a high school education. MARGARET KISSINGER. I 191
