MfMORIAM A little man with twinkling blue eyes ... a wisp of hair falling over his forehead ... a husky voice ... a cheery greeting . . . friend- liness for everybody ... an eternal broom about him somewhere . . . that was C. Oscar Bayles, one of the janitors of Old Main, who died September 20, 1940. Mr. Bayles was born in Rinard, Illinois, on December 1, 1870. He was brought up in the southern part of the state. Since he was on outdoor man and loved nature, he farmed in his younger days. Be- tween periods on the farm, he was an attendant at the state hospitals at Jacksonville and Kankakee. He farmed until he moved here twenty years ago. Mr. Bayles came to Normal to take a position as janitor of Fell Hall, which he accepted under the Felmley administration. While he was at the hall, he made many friends among the boys who worked in the kitchen, and many of them kept up a lively correspondence with him to the end of his days. Last March, Mr. Bayles became ill and resigned to go into a sani- tarium. While he was there a group of ninety Fell Hall girls kept him supplied with flowers. He died on September 20, 1940, at the age of seventy. He leaves a wife and a son, Lloyd Wesley Bayles, who graduated from I.S.N.U. in 1932, and who is now teaching.
