2 THE QUIVER IN MEMORIAM ANNIE E. MERRILL A noble woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command. And yet a spirit pure and bright, With something of angelic light. -W07'ClS'?ll07't,L. In the passing of Miss Annie E. Merrill, our school lost an ardent helper and a real friend. Of all her friends and pupils, I ask, in memoriam, a moment of thought. We are deeply sorry for her loss, but if this loss should show us better ideals and aspirations and the benefit of looking ever higher, can we pay her a greater tribute? She worked constantly for all that is best in life. Her ever-enduring patience, love of everything beautiful in nature, and her kindness will always live in our memory. - Can we be kind as she was kind? Good as she was good? Let us strive to keep our ideals, and perhaps, when we leave, our memory will remain, a shining light for those who called us friend, just as she is a shining light to us. CONSTANCE TRINQUE. '28 GONE! ! Empty room-empty chair, She's not here-no-not here. Be it true-Pray then, where? A rosy scent, a silent air, A school room bare, a custom rare. Downcast souls upon the stair. No one talks, no one Walks, Gloom prevails, light has failed. How they mourn, she has gone! Grief and sorrow, for the morrow, A Heavenly Herald, our Miss Merrill, Please don't say, she's-gone-a-way! A. DAMARJIAN, '23,

THE QUIVER 3 A TRIBUTE TO MISS GVLIE A. XVYMAN On April 6, 1928, we were saddened by the news of the death of Miss Gulie A. Wyman. Our associations with Miss Wyman first began in our Freshman year, when, not only as a teacher of English and Latin, but as a director of dramatics, she taught us to enjoy the finer things in life, to appreciate the aesthetic, and through debating to think clearly and accur- ately. Later on she became our teacher of Senior English, and those who were fortunate to be in her classes will long remember her keen sense of humor and scholarly interests. As a guide and friend to her pupils, her influence was far reaching. The strong and courageous character of Miss Wyman has left a lasting impression upon those who knew her. We deeply mourn her loss. , ULRIC DE IBELLEFEUILLIC When Ulric de Bellefeuille left our midst, the world saw another noble soul depart. He had not been among us long, but his charming ways had made him dear to us all. As a science teacher, he was loved by all his pupils, while the delightful melodies of his violin graced our orchestra. We feel deeply sorry, but then, We love, we honor and we lose, It is life's way, we cannot choose. Youth seems so free, yet at the end It must accept what God may send. CONSTANCE L. TRINQUE.
