He was spending a delightful vacation in one of the far western states, when the unexpected news of his drowning came. To all who knew and loved him it seemed almost uncredible that one who was so vital a part of the lives of those around him, has vanished forever from our sight. He was a member of the Class of ’07, an honest and kind friend, a patient and conscientious worker, ever popular among his classmates.
