Jno. c. c. Mayo coIIeae Note..

The second term OF the school year
started with decided increase in at
tendance. 1T is necessary for Prof
Butcher TO hold his Normal classes in
chapel. while Miss Hazel Williams
teaches the Seventh and Eighth grades
in the room behind the chapel. The
number of High School students has
Also increased as has the business de-
partment. The dormitory is just a
bout filled, and there is an increase in
the number OF the boarding boys. AL
together the start on OF the second
term is very encouraging and there is
every prospect that this will be thebest
term our college has yet had. not on
~ In the numbers In attendance but In
the quality OF work done. There Is
every reason to believe that Jno. G.
C. Mayo College is more and more
taking Its proper place as one Of the
constructive forces in the upbuilding
of the intellectual and religious life in
the Big Sandy Valley. and, that the
young people coming under the infiu
ence OF the school will be the better
equipped both In mind and character
to do their part In making the valley
a better place in which to live.

IN MEMORY

Little Robert Atkins was born at
Hulette, Lawrence county, KY, March
20, 1905 and left the walks Of this life
at Buchanan, KY. January 20, 1922,
aged 16 years. 10 months and days,
He was a sweet little boy loved and
respected by all that knew him. He
had typhoid fever and all was done
for him that noble physician. friends,
neighbors and loved ones could do,
but they could not stop the pale horse
and his rider.
Weep not, that his tolls are over,
Weep not that his race is run.
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like his is done.
Through all pain at times he smiled
A smile of heavenly birth,
! And when angels called him home
He smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure
Earth the lonely casket keeps
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our sainted Bobbie sleeps.
