CARD OF THANKS

Mr.. and Mrs. c. b. Ladd and Mrs.
Cara Davidson, wish to extend to each
member of the Pierian Society of the
Ardmore High School, their sincere
and deep appreciation of the lovely
tribute paid our dear boy, embodied
in the Resolutions sent us a few days
ago. The knowledge otahtsru "
ago. The knowledge that our son was
held in so high esteem by his school
associates and teachers, is a wonder
full solace to the wounded hearts that
sit around the freside at evening and
note with tears and sorrow, the wa
cant chair
1t is our prayer and wish, that a
like sorrow may never enter the homes
of any one of his lovely associates.
Resolutions Of the Perian Society
Of Ardmore High School.
"To the casual observer it may seem
heartless thing for the cruel hand
of Death to be laid upon so many of the
younger generation. Yet there is an
unseen purpose in all this. Perhaps
He wishes to teach us the lesson that
we should live each day as if it were
our last. He wishes to impress on us
that these young lives He has taken,
have so lived.
However, at the departure of Blu
ford Davidson, in particular, we feel
a twofold pang: First, a loss to his
family, and, second, loss to his high
school. He was a dutiful son, we learn,
and an affectionate grandson. He was
a promising young man in every de-
tail. But the paramount quality in
his personality seems to be his faith
full attendance to his church.
Added to all this, he was the most
popular boy in High School Not only
was he a favorite with pupils. but also
with teachers. His school spirit was
Bluford was a star of the
"gridiron." He was prominent
member of the Glee Club. He was
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Pierian So
ciety, which society deeply feels his
loss since he faithfully performed his
duty.
Does it not seem hard for him to be
taken? 1t is only hard for his family
and his many friends, for he is bliss
fully happy in the Elysian fields of
eternity. He knows no pain. He is
now reaping the benefits of life well
spent He is glad that he remembered
his Creator in the days of his youth.
This should console his relatives
more than most anything, for Bluford
was prepared spiritually for death"
