In Memoriam We who enioy the benefits of a large, well organized insti- tution such as the public schools of Dallas sometimes forget, in the freedom of our privileges, that somewhere at the top are men who, because of their devotion to duty and detail, make our own living simpler, happier, and safer. Such a man was Mr. L. V. Stockard, our late Assistant Superintendent of the Dallas Schools. Mr. Mahoney was seventy-four years old, but the years had served only to deepen his sympathies, strengthen his loyalties, sharpen his appreciations, and clarify his iudgments. There was nothing old about his mind or attitudes. His was not a placid, resigned or even mellow old age which spells so often atrophy of the mind and spirit. Instead he kept ever that divine discon- tent which spurred him constantly to read new books, criticize new movements-or old, and speak with vehemence against iniustice and sham. Feeling passionately as he did about so many things, he was kept lovable and sane by his insuppressible lrish sense of humor. Miss Jackson had gained the high respect and love of the students who had come in contact with her in the classroom, or under her able guidance of the Girl Reserves. The ever pres- ent and charming manner was a distinguished part of her. No one was unimportant, from the small, terrified freshman to the tall, awkward senior boy who towered over her. Betty Joyce Harmon, a 1B at Forest, was an active member of the Girl Reserves and Rainbow Girls. Her death was a great loss to all of her many friends. Pugr N
