 Ladies and Gentlemen:
 A pail of mourning descended upon our educational department with the death of Miss Daisy Lord on the morning of January twen- ty-seventh. The shock of her demise after her brief illness startled not only our local depart ment but also the state and na-. tional teacher organizations to which she had given unstintingly of her time and energy for so long.
 The many important offices Miss Lord very capably held in these various educators associa- tions testify unquestionably to the high degree of her qualities of leadership, organization and man. agement. Her keen business abil- ity, brilliant intellect and open mind coupled with a thorough knowledge of the problems of teachers made her an associate of immeasurable value. Friedly in disposition, with a benevolent un- derstanding of the difficulties of others, she endeared herself to her colleagues in teaching and earned the high regard of the bus mess people she contacted as teacher of Salesmanship.
 Miss Lord possessed the envi- able talent of imparting knowledge which characterizes the born teacher. Her personal magnetism and simplicity of manner won the esteem and confidence of the

But do they come back! The ser geant was at his customary place today in the Post Office building enlisting young men for the Mar inc corps. Yes sir, the sergeant is on deck again and the situation is well in hand. He expects to be kept busy answering questions on what it takes to be a Marine, pro- viding the official papers and tell ing the boys where Paris Island is and how long it takes to become a sergeant!
 Welcome back. "Sarg," old boy. Chin up, buddy. and don't let the 'flu' stage a comeback!
