Simpson School - Echo Yearbook (Birmingham, AL)

Fellow-students of Simpson, here is the ninth volume of the Annual. It claims not to have within it the wisdom of the sage nor the results of literary genius. In it are assembled a few pictures and records and selections from our daily class work, reminders of the time we have spent so happily together. We trust that in the years to come all of us will step aside occasionally from the rush of business duties and refresh our memory by looking over this book. Surely, if we do this, we shall he strengthened in all those purposes and ideals which we have tried to develop here.

Seldom lias Simpson School been saddened as it was on February 23rd. bv the sudden death of Whitfield Clements. He was a boy of promise, having the qualities of unselfish and sincere Christian character. His friendliness and sunny disposition had endeared him to everyone; there was not a heart among the teachers and students that was not broken when he was taken from us. As a faint expression of our love and sorrow we dedicate this annual to him. His picture in this book as well as those pictures of him on the walls of our memory will always remind us of the vi-sionsof higher things that thesor-row of his death helped us to see.
