The students were recently dismayed to learn that Mrs. Marjorie Eckler, who has been director ot' music for several years is leaving this year. We cannot measure the services rendered by Mrs. Et-kler to the students. 'Fhrongh her efforts the orchestra has become one ot' the most popular organizations in school, She has formed the Girls Glee Club which has made itself popular 011 several occasions. She has directed several operettas with much suc- cess. Mrs. Eckler has always readily responded when called upon and she has won great ad- miration in the whole community. We regret that she is leaving us, and we wish her the best of success in her future undertakings.
