ness during the sickness of their little one.

To the parents, brothers and sisters of
the lamented Velma Thompson:
we, the undersigned, principal and

a grief with words, yet we with all our
hearts extend to you our deepest sympathy.
We sincerely feel that each and ali of us
have suffered loss. Sorrows grim hand
the love we bear our dear classmates, Annie
and Markie, touching us with sadness.
We repeat that our sympathy, weak as it
is and inadequate as it must be to alleviate
mental suffering and heal the wounded
heart, is truly yours.
