Zin jinmuriatin Our flag, its red, white, and blue bars flying at half mast against the autumn sky, expressed more eloquently than any voice or any pen the anguish we all felt at the death of Robert Gray. Few of us realized the tragic magnitude of his illness: we were certain of his speedy recovery, could imagine no other course of events. But early in the morning of October 6, 1940, after little more than a week of illness, Robert Gray died. The stunning suddenness of his passing nun' bed our senses: at first we had difficulty in believ- ing that Death had removed from our midst one so near and dear to us as Bob. But not for long. Tear-filled eyes and choked voices soon attested to that. As a final expression of our sorrow, a memorial service was held in the auditorium of the high school. Mr. Soule. of the Y. M. C. A., Reverend Keagy, and Dick Anderson, representing the students, delivered messages appropriate to the occasion. Bob was a very popular student. He was well liked by all who knew him, and his cheery smile and kind remaiks were constantly winning him New friends. He participated in many school activi- ties. including' the Forensic and Commercial Clubs and the Hi-Y Club. of which he was Vice-Presb dent. His was a familiar figure also in the Pep Club. for his contagious spirit of goodwill and en- thusiasm made him one of the schoo1's most conspicuous Cheer Leaders. So in an effort to express our lasting respect and love for him, we Seniors devote this page of Hi-Life as ai memorial to our departed classmate, Robert Gray. Twenty-five
