The sudden death of Elsie Harris, a member of the senior class, has been a cause for sadness to the entire school. Elsie was invaluable to her class and will be deeply missed both by individuals and by the class as a whole. She had held an office of some sort during all four years in which she attended Salem, and discharged all the duties involved conscientiously and efficiently. Her proficiency in music is well known to all of those acquainted with her, and was praised alike by her companions and by her teachers. She had many close friends, and she will be greatly missed both by her more intimate companions and by those who knew her only slightly.
Such grief is not easily appeased, and we wish to extend sympathy to the members of her immediate family, to her classmates, and to her many friends throughout the state.
From the editorial page of The Salemite, Winston-Salem, N.C., April 24, 1926
