OLD BOYS' NEWS Death Michael Scott It was a shock to those of us who remember him well to hear (50 K) ® Mithael Scott He had been a lonely boy,for within a short time of his coming to school he lost both his parents. Life dealt hardly with him, and tor some years he felt rebellious about it. He worked for a year in a bank, and there he was happy. We hoped that he would find happiness in his work, and come to lead a full life. "All instincts immature. All purposes unsure. That weighed not as his work, yet swelled the man's amount; This he was worth to God, whose wheel the pitcher shaped." 259
