1 IN MEMORIAM e O • A long stretch of brilliant sunshine seemingly endless yet quickly passed by have been the school days of the class of 1910. Days that were as a long smooth road, on either side of which tall trees kept guard, their foliage casting shadows like school day troubles across the gathering only to disappear as the dancing breeze caught back the leaves and let the sun- light in. But Death entered into this gathering of the class of 1910 making a shadow deep and long; so deep that its imprint will always be visible and so long that commencement davs find it still present. The class of 1910 lost one of its valued members in the death of Emil Elsass who departed this life in October of the year nineteen hundred ami nine after a siege i some weeks with typhoid fever. A manly young man. full of courage, who gave promise of a brilliant future and who was eager to begin life: one who had the respect and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. Beloved by his teachers and classmates. his death caused deepest sorrow among his friends and ac- quaintances. all of whom bow in humble submission to the All W ise and Omnipotent Providence who had need of this young life in His Kingdom. As a student he was earnest, industrious, endowed with a keen mind and eager to gain knowledge: ever obedient and respectful to his teachers, a friend and chum to his school- mates. In his home he was the pride of his parents and a host of relatives. I nassuming ami of single tastes, cheerful and with a sunny disposition, lie was helpful to all and comfort to the declining years of father and mother. In his death the members of the class of 1910 have lost a friend as well as a schoolmate. Surely of him it may be said that the class is better for his having been a member of it and the world better for his having lived in it.
