The deceased member of#the class
who vas best known #locallF, perhaps
was William r. Winchester of West
Annapolis lii speaking IN zthe mem
DRY Of this former class member Cadet
Robert s. AL GLADDEN. said
William Paret Winchester was born
at Severn Heights on june ~, 1897.
Receiving his early education at the
West Annapolis school he entered
the preparatory class of St John 4
College on September 15. 1912. Upon
this day his services as So worthy
friend and classmate began the mem
lory Of which shall live forever in our
minds and could better deserve q re-
IspectfnI and affecti0nate Notice from
surviving associates and friends
AS he progressed year by year In.
his academic course our friendly feel
ling for him also increased and It was
matter OF deep regret to as that he
left in June of 1917 to folaw his vo-
Ication at the Bliss Electrical School
But, may add. It was ainatter of
deep interest and pride to us when
The completed his course with distinc-
ton.
unfortunately his health Sailed him
lat this milestone Of his LIE and ne
was forced To 30 to the mountains.
where. after eleven months of suffer
ling. death claimed him on the 23rd
day OF May. nineteen hundred and
nineteen
His life, altogether very short, vas
rich III service and crowned with liv-
ing favor. Had he not been deprived
OF II. his career undoubtedly would
have heen conpIete success from
every angle. and We are sorry that
he could not have Leen spared to re-
dect honor upon his alma mater.
