15'-away' ' V l L r l 1 l E lv p., is Q VK .. l l V l E i In A,, . ,k. - L P 1 I i T i l I l l l l l r L .. , AVE ATQUE VALE! AMES STUART MOTHERWELL was a gentleman of the old school and a scholar in the true classical sense. A man with many sides to his character, a lover of solitude among his cases of cherished books, and yet a man who possessed that rare gift of companionship, which endears his memory to all his friends. A far traveler was Mr. Motherwell, returning every second year to his homeland, his beloved Scotland, for 'tis true that he liked to be, as he used to quote, with the bonnie blythe blink o' my ain fireside . We of West remember him like the happy wayfarer of old, going back and forth to school with his little black bag always with him, which, like the older scrip, was filled with-whimsies perhaps, philosophy of course, and a vast treasure of kindliness and consideration for others. Mr. Motherwell was ever a keen observer of life in the class- room, where to receive a nickname was to receive a personal estimate, on the annual senior picnic day, where he watched the games with genuine interest far beyond that of a mere specta- tor. Ya dinna do sae badlyv was high praise for a dusty con- testant on the field. At the senior promenade, of which he was ever the genial host, his special greeting given each couple placed many a boy and girl at their -ease, thus causing that evening to remain one long to be remembered. Mr. Motherwell could look beyond the surface into the heart, and for all he held an old-world courtesy, an unsurpassed toler- ance of life itself. Through the troubled, confused present he walked with unfaltering dignity and poise. He knew how to keep the great things great and the small things small. More and more as the years pass will his words of kindly wisdom, his wealth of allusions return to us, and together we shall take up the cup of kindness whicl. he filled for auld lang syne. In the words of his well loved Virgil, Meminisse juvabit we are glad to remember James Stuart Motherwell, a gentleman and a scholar. AVE ATQUE VALE! LOUISE STARR PECK
