Many of our men and women have left us at the call of their country. They still belong to us, so our numbers are not small, neither are our courage and determina- tion, Qur actual enrollment is twice what it was in the First year of Morton Junior College, and we are twice as good. Those of us who remain in the college must accept the challenge to Carry her standard high and keep it waving lor the many thousands who are to come. W. P.

MISS MABEL ELLIS l-lers was the tender hand that sowed and encouraged the seeds of Nature. l-lers was the smile and the voice that taught the wisdom and understanding of the little things in life that enrichen it. And in a world dimmed by the chaos and destitute of war, hers was the service that brought hope and light and faith. MJC and the world have lost a botanist, Nature has claimed its own. 'IO
