Fine Tributes Given.
| Miss Bertha Teal,s tribute was an
original poem. Private Hahne was one
of her high school students.
Professor Kelly delivered an eloquent
tribute to youth as the most beautiful
period of life. And in times of stress
youth comes to the front, giving life
freely as sacrifice to country and to
ideals.
Rev. Stiverson's address, From Life
to Life" was builded about the thought
that death is but the portal to eternal
life and that Private Hahne heard the
call from life here to life over there.
