gywoocl Jczigh lPiclu re Wilh Sna psholsl Elwood sfarfed school wilh us when we were aboul live or six years old, and from lhe day 'rhal he walked lhrough rhe doors he was everyone's friend and helper. There was never a problem which could nor be figured our in lhe quiet calm way will-1 which he was accuslomed fo doing Things, big and liHle. Many a happy smile helped fo make our days fuller, and brighfer. There was ever a kind, liflle geslure which cheered a sad hearf so much, bu? which everyone else lorgor lo make. These are lhe Things 'rhaf make a person, especially a classmafe, remembered as a real friend and pal. We have a very hard lask achieved when we have lived up 'ro our classma+e's example and l'm sure +ha+ every member of 'rhe class of '48 will lry his besl. I heard fhe bus driver remark one day as Elwood gof off +he bus, l don r know anyone in Windham who doesn'+ like Elwood. Do you? And all 'rhe sludenls lhere immediafely hasn'+ an enemy in +he world. This small 'rribule is much less 'rhan he deserves and in no small parl were his parenfs responsible for his kind, well mannered, willing ways. They deserve a nole of praise for fheir unfiring eliforf in 'reaching him lhe kind of person lo be, and 'rheir unsellish efforls in leading him in The way of God. We will always remember our beloved friend and classmate in +he years 'ro come. His life proved his mollo: Friendship 'ro all: malice 'foward none. God chose him, for his life was pure and unblemished by ihe stain of sin, for heaven needed a brighr, new sfar fo shine up fhere. ANNE ELDER, '48 DONALD VAN DUSEN, '48 Senior Wrile-ups Fifty-six
