Her CIassmateC Mourn.

The Phi Mu Gamma Sorosis OF
Brenau College, Gainesville; Ga,
has adopted the following resolutions
on the death of Miss Helen Fealn-
side:
Whereas, our beloved friend and
clubmate, Helen Fearnside, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank j. Fearn-
side of Palatka, Florida, after an ill
ness of two days, on the thirteenth
of August last, was translated from
her home among the flowers that
breathe of Southern skies to her
eternal home III the heavens, and
whereas
She had been for two years prev
ious to her sad and sudden death our
esteemed fellow student and club
mate, and whereas
Her life in college had been one of
purity and unselfish devotion to
duty, and whereas
Our fond hope of being reunited an
unbroken band at the opening OF
this fall term has been blighted-the
hope that when we separated made
less keen the pain of parting-there-
fore be it resolved, first
That as a college community none
the less as her sorosis we deplore the
loss of our sweet friend, realizing II
now since the reorganization of our
school even more than when the
mournful news of her going away
first reached our ears.
Second, that we are grateful for
the example of her sweet young life
spent with us in college, and that we
shall ever lovingly cherish her
memory.
Third, that we sympathize with
her bereaved parents, brother and
sister and pray that they with us
may bow in submission TO the will of
our Father.
Fourth, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent TO the family, to the
Palatka newspapers and Gainesville
papers for publication.
