Gone'but. not forgotten A photo of Earl MeEvers was plaeed in the lobby of Andersoný Collegiate and Vocational Institute last week in meniory of the late custodian. McEvers, 53, <whoý lived at 244 Meadow Rd., in Whitby, sud- denly collapsed while on duty at the school on the evening of Jan. 3. He is survived by his wife, Lillian, and daughter, Leann, 0f Whitby, and son, Mark of Willowdale. Both son and daughter are graduates of ACVI. Co-worker, Matt Zevenhoven, remem- bers his friend as a quiet easy-going man who en- joyed work. i "The harder the job the-better he liked it," he said of McEvers, "We had a lot in com- mon and we got along real good." "I have mixed emotions right now," he confessed sadly. Earl MeEvers Michael Freeman, head of the history department, and an acquaintance of -the family, remembers him as a "friendly, but shy fellow." Fred Parrott, prin- cipal of ACVI, said he was, very well liked by everyone who knew Nim., "H1e always had pleasant words to say."

Although he began to work at Anderson only about 1½ years ago, his co-workers, the faculty, and students *wi not forget this good-natured man. As Cuyler declares, "If you couldn't get along with Earl you couldn't get along with anybody 1 WAI is on mmm way K-MART PLAZA WHITBY 1801 DUN DAS ST. E.'
