In Memorjam,

The Penn College Chronicle, in it's
first issue of the school year pays the
following tribute to a departed MEM
Der of the student body
"On July fifteenth occurred the de-
plorable accident which little less
than two days later brought to an I'M
timely end the life of Gladys, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. V. Hoffman,
of Oskaloosa, a member of the Senior
class of Penn College. On July nine
teenth a large circle of friends and
classmates witnessed the farewell
rites in her home and saw her body
laid in its last resting place midst
wealth of flowers, whose beauty and
fragrance fifty symbolized the charac-
ter of her to whom they were offered
as loves last tribute.
GLADYS had been a member of the
college community since the first year
of her Academy course, hence she was
widely known and loved by all who
knew her. By both faculty and stu
dents the deepest sympathy is felt

ed by death of her absence, a home
where genuine hospitality was fire.
quently extended through Gladys to
her college friends. May God of all
comfort give solace to the bereaved
ones In their unutterable loss.
"To the Senior class of Penn the
death of Gladys came as the second
great shock and bereavement within
the short period of three months. En-
deared as she was to them by long
association they feel her loss keenly
They will long remember her viva
cious manner, her quick mind, her
good cheer and generosity, and hel
enthusiastic participation in class in
terests.
"The Alethian Literary Society lost
! by her death its president-elect fol
the coming year. Its members viii
treasure her memory as an efficient
co-worker and loyal friend.
The delegates from Penn to the Y
w. C. A. convention at Lake Geneva
hoped that Gladys would accompany
them to learn more of the work o.
the Master who loved to proclaim His
message by the side of the waters
but ere the appointed time had come
she had passed over the dark ridge
of death to the river of waters whereof
make glad the city of God.
Gladys was a member of the Epis
copal church and an enthusiastic
teacher in the Sunday School. In the
twenty brief years of her life she wor
wide circle of friends. In her las
hours, though suffering severely, she
manifested the same courage ant
Icheerfulness which ordinarily char
acterized her. 1t is ours to hope tina
the young life which we saw unfold
ing may continue to develop in ever
increasing beauty in the sunlight o
Infinite Love in that fairer countr!
to which all the ages have looked
forward"
