Through the death of Miss Agnes
Chase, Brooks High school has sustained
an irreparable loss. 1t is safe to say that
no one would be more genuinely missed
from our daily life. She possessed de-
sirable qualities which could not fail to
inspire others with desire to emulate
them. Associated with an unusually ac-
tive mind she possessed an ambition and
determination which carried her quickly
to the front in any achievement she at
tempted, and to career in High school
which few have equalled She had COM
pleted in the three years the work which
usually requires four and completed it in
manner to entitle her to an average
rank for her High school course of $50
per cent. As one of her teachers remark
ed few weeks before her death, "She
was in class by herself" The school
board of Brooks will grant her the diplo
ma which she had SO faithfully earned.
Naturally, such an accomplishment re-
quired severe application, but Miss Chase
was not bookworm to the exclusion of
all other activities. She was always
ready to do her part In the various out
side duties connected with High school
life, and owing to her ability the part
which fell to her was generally one which
required considerable work or skill Her
personal conduct was above reproach.
Whether on the street or in the classroom
there was nothing QUESTIONED bic in her at
titude AS she was very popular among
her schoolmates it is certain that the ex-
ample she set must have contributed
greatly to simplifying classroom manage
ment. The regard in which she was held
by her classmates is shown by the &C
companying resolutions which they have
drawn up, and by the following poem:
Whereas, Our Heavenly Father has
deemed it wise to take from US our be-
loved friend and classmate, Miss Agnes
E. Chase, be it
Resolved, That we, the class Of 1921,
of Brooks High school, consider that we
have lost sincere friend and helper, one
who has ever been source of inspiration
and elevating influence, to be associated
with whom Was privilege.
That we omit from our graduating ex-
erciseS the valedictory which Agnes sc
, unquestonably deserved.
{ That we cause copies of these resolu-
tons to be printed in the Bangor Daily
News and The Republican journal, that a
> copy be sent to the sorrowing relatives
and copy be spread upon our records.
