Zin jlilemnriam JOHN RUSSELL Born-March 19, 1918 Died-November 25, 1936 Of all those who daily attended, The Senior classes at Trinity High, There was one whose life was ended, Ended, without a sigh. J-stands for Jolly and always he was, 0-for Obedient, but let us not pause, H-the Honesty for which he was known N-as in Name, with our love has grown. Although these letters spell John, Due to grim tragedy from us is gone. Oh Science! Why did you fail so soon? For John was to graduate with us in June. I opened his book and saw on the cover, Something that made me stop and ponder, For there he had written, John Russell '37. Please, Lord, convince us he's listening in Heaven. What is there about immortality That makes some dream with reality? If all our assumptions are really true, My heart was sad, my eyelids heavy, And on my mind I could not levy Thoughts of a lesson, study, or books, For suddenly from our midst God took Our friend-so good, so kind, and true. All who knew her loved her too. It was not long after Thanksgiving When we were told, we the living, That our dear friend had passed away On that dark and dreary day. It was so hard for us to believe, And diflicult for the teachers to conceive, That a girl so young, laughing and gay Could have left us on that memorable day She had brown hair and laughing blue eyes Now in her flower-covered grave she lies. Oh, the weeks have come and the weeks hase gone But our thoughts of Betty still linger on. Now that she is gone we must bear the sorrow And hope to meet her on the Great Tomorrow JEAN BIGLER BETTY MONINGER 2 h, . Then John, I on eirt do envy you Born-February 10, 1920 And now, dear John, to you I'Il write, Inviting you down on graduation night, And when our diplomas are handed to us, Consider yourself a Trinity Alumnus.
