. . . 7a 0 It seems fitting that we here at West Lirii High School com- memorate this book to our good friend, Mr. Herman Oppenland- T er. It is with sadness that wed' ifiealize that physically he will be with us no longer, and yet it is with real satisfaction that we re- member that his actions, deeds, and manner of doing things have been written, as though with an indelible pencil, into the memor- ies and traditions of West Linn High School, there to remain for all time. We cherish his memory as an excellent teacher, a wonder- ful man, and a very loyal friend. BUILDING A BRIDGE FOR y An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To chasm vast and deep and wide, Thru which was flowing a sullen tide. Your journey will end with the ending day Youlnever againwill pass this wayg You'vecrossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build this bridge at eventide? The builder lifted his old grayheacl- Good friend, in the path Ifhad come, he said T here followeth after me today A youth, whosefeet must pass this wayg ' This chasm that has been nought for me, ., . . ..

Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, Good friend, I am building this bridge for him. xv ,U NI ' . ,rx Mr. Oppenlandefs life was like that-a life devoted to the service of youth and his fellow man-never too busy to take time to help a youth. For the past 24 years he l'l3.S,,,.lgg'QL1 amost cgrjrscien- tious and dependable instructor, finding time, in additiwltofhiis acad- emic duties, to supervise many activities for the students. Even during the last few years when we knew he was in a great deal of ' pain and discomfort did he ever shirk any of these duties and re- e sponsibilities. Never once did I ever hear him complain. Never once was he absdgrt HigsEH? ofi'fi'onesty and integrity. These two char- acteristics werei u rrnost in all of his actions. Thirdly, his life was devoted to a love of God and his fellow men. Besides his home, his two main interests his Church and his school. These two institutions are .better of his being there. This year was to have been his .uyli 3- ,,,,y ith us. We were planning to honor him for these years of 's-: up etime during this school year.
