.911 emoriam Donald E. Hoffman The recent death of our classmate, Donald Hoffman, causes us to stop and think. As a Freshman, he shared with us our enthusiasm for high school work and play, As Sopho- mores and Iuniors, in our rush toward the goal of happiness and in the midst of things which enriched our lives, we recall to mind a pal and a personality that shall ever shine more brightly in our lives. We were fortunate enough to claim him for a classmate and friend. When a kind word is spoken, when there is a smile of friendship, when there is a ready kindness that has brought into our lives an influence which will never die, then, we shall feel that We have something associated with our classmate, Donald Hoffman. Seniors.
