In Memory of Walter Hallock Wood NYAi.'1'iz 1: l'lALLOCK XVOOD Halter Hallock XYood was born Twelfth month twenty- seventh, eighteen hundred and seventy-six, at Farming- ton, New York. He graduated from Oakwood Seminary in 1851-1 and entered Haverford College as a Sophomore in 1898. Graduated from Haverford in 15101, spent four years as an instructor in Friends' Select School. From here he went to Oakwood Seminary where he held the position of principal until ill health caused him to retire in 1914. After spending a year in Ohio in search of good health, he came to XYesttown in .1915 as a teacher of mathematics. He kept this position at XYesttown until Third month twentieth, 15121, when he succumbed to a paralytic stroke and quietly passed away two days later. To say that he was a great asset to XYesttown School is perhaps the least that can be said about Walter XYood. He was a man of upright Christian character, and a faith- ful minister of the Gospel. Honest and sincere in all his intentions, no task ever fell his lot but what was fultllled to the best of his ability. ln the classroom as a teacher. he commanded the respect and admiration of every stu- dent. Out of school as a friend, his personality was of that rare kind which found for him a place in the heart of everyone. In his death we feel that XYesttown has in- deed suffered a heavy and irreparable loss. His lift' was gentle, and thc clcliiicizls So mixed in him, that Nam-rc might stand up And .my to all the world, 'This was tl muff. 10

'22 Twenty-one, the future lies before you Like a great book, with clean and shining page, And on its many leaves shall be recorded The way you meet the challenge of the age. Then go forth courageously from Westtown, Bearing aloft the ideals taught you here, For out beyond these gates the world is waiting For those to come who falter not, nor fear. The cry of suffering millions is the challenge, Then right the wrongs that so much need redress Be you the just and open minded leaders To lift the masses from their deep distress. Though the goal seems very far before you, Discouragement nor failure dare confessg Every task worth doing is full of hardship, Only through difficulties comes success. Martha A. Tierney, 121 I
