From Dimples Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC
- 11/09/09, 9:12 AM - "Death Notice for
Edna
Clemence":
Edna and I lived in the same neighborhood and were
in the same sorority, Tri-Hi-Y and
were wonderful friends. We walked to school many a day together and then went to
the "Y" after school.
She asked me to be her bridesmaid when she got married ! I did not get to have
that honor since by the time of her wedding I was well into my first pregnancy !
She was good at keeping secrets and she and I both modeled in New York. I did
not audition for the Rockettes like she did, but I really hate it that she never
got to dance with them after auditioning twice and winning the audition not just
once but twice !
I spoke with her on her birthday in May and then I got sick and I was too sick
to call anyone for three months; she did say something about not being able to
play golf because of her back !
My heart is wounded...she was a wonderful and loyal friend...I shall miss
talking with her on the phone but I am glad she is no longer suffering ! She
will be terribly missed by her family and husband and the friends she made no
matter where she was ! She was a beautiful woman with a wonderful attitude and
personality !
Thank you so much, Dimples;
my sincerest sympathies on the loss of your dear friend.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Lead On, O King Eternal
Words by
Ernest
W. Shurtleff,
1888 (4 Apr 1862 - 24 Aug 1917)
Music (Lancashire) by
Henry T. Smart, 1836 (26 Oct 1813 -6 July 1879)
Shurtleff wrote this hymn wrote this hymn for the graduation ceremony at Andover Theological Seminary, where he was a member of the class of 1888.
Lead on, O King eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle song.
Lead on, O King eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heav'nly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King eternal,
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
