SUICIDE

time, but to take the final step, to
take that last desperate step without
a word of consolation from his loving
comrades was almost too much for
them to bear. Every day he was at
school on time with a smile for the
children as they came into the school
room. AS he was loved by everyone,
they miss him terribly. Why didn't
he come to us with his problems and
let us help him? No one will ever
know what went on in his shrewd
little head.
In a moment of confidence he did
tell one of his pals that going around
in circles was becoming monotonous,
and he did feel rather out of place in
the Home Economics department.
Other than this scrap of informa-
tion which was obtained by very dis
Greet methods, nothing is known of
that fatal leap of Sammy's from his
goldfish bowl to the floor, stretch
ing out far below him. We only know
that upon entering the Home &c de-
partment one day last week the
frantic swimming and gesturing of
the two remaining pals caused us to
look upon the floor and see the poor,
bruised disheveled body of Sammy,
motionless now that death had made
him thus.
And so the tones of the students
in Home Economies class are hushed
and their solemn attitude is all in
respect for his two grieving chums
who swim aimlessly round and round
the fish bowl longing for their lost
schoolmate.
