______________________________________________________
WHEREAS GOD IN HIS PROVIDENCE HAS CALLED UP HIGHER, LITTLE MAUDE GRAHAM, ONE 
OF THE BRIGHTEST ONES IN OUR SCHOOL, WHOSE SUDDEN DEATH CAST A GLOOM OVER OUR 
ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND WHEREAS OUR HEARTS ARE BURDENED WITH SORROW,
BE IT THEREFORE; RESOLVED:
THAT AS A SCHOOL WE SADLY MISS LITTLE MAUD, WHOSE BRIGHT PRESENCE AND 
INNOCENT, CHEERFUL DEMEANOR WON THE HEARTS OF ALL YOUNG ALIKE. 
THAT WE DEEPLY SYMPATHIZE WITH HER PARENTS AND GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND THEIR 
FAMILIES AS THEY ARE THUS MADE TO PASS UNDER THE ROD.
THAT WE TRUST IMPLICITYLY IN THE GOODNESS AND MERCY OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND 
BELIEVE THAT WHILE LITTLE MAUD IS LOST TO SIGHT, SHE IS ABSENT ONLY IN THE 
FLESH AND WE REJOICE IN THE FAITH THAT SHE HAS BEEN CLAIMED AS HIS OWN BY HIM 
WHO SAID, "SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO ME AND FORBID THEM NOT OF SUCH 
IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT A COPY OF THESE RESOLUTIONS BE SPREAD UPON OUR 
MINUTES AND COPIES SENT TO PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS OF OUR DECEASED LITTLE 
FRIEND.  SINCERELY, MISS MINNIE SPEIGHT, MISS MABEL LANGSTON, F.B. DILLARD.
