f-s In Memory Of Katie . . . like a blue marble egg. You always made me feel sort of beautiful you know. You are beautiful, Fanny. You were our Fanny Brice. You were beautiful, Katie. You were a specially talented person who made our lives beautiful. Who but you would come bouncing into the cafeteria, classroom, or rehearsal with your dizzy laughter and sparkling eyes. Who but you would break into song and dance in the parking lot, or have a mock tea party in the cafeteria. Who but you would both hear and listen to our problems. Katie, you were so talented and never boasted of it and helped all of us when we lacked what came so naturally to you. Thank you, Katie, for the flower. Friday, November 10, I found my loss. Katie was gone. Katie was never going to come over to my apartment and sit in her chair. Katie was never going to sing for me or anyone else again. Katie won't be here to eat breakfast at Sambo's at one o'clock in the morning again. Katie, for you I'll wear the flower. The Sunday Katie came home from N.A.T.S. she told me at our mock tea party in the cafeteria that she had learned a lot. On Tuesday when she was beginning to get very ill she said, now I can get better. Katie did get better. The more I mourn, the more I realize that what everyone said about death was true. I am not mourning Katie's death but my loss of her. I can not grieve for Katie because she is gone, and my grief is selfish because I can hear her protest- ing, you guys stop it. I have put your flower in the book Katie. fkeprinted with permission from Barbara A. Meier, Col- legian November 17, 19781 Katie was active in both music and drama. Below she fiddles her way through band practice. At right is a scene from Two by Two in which she played Ester, Noah's wife in the musical by Rodgers and Charmin.
