« r ! i?) M .• J ?4 r An Appreciation THERE are men who magnify their positions in life so that those who know them lose all sight of so-called distinctions in the dignity and value of dififerent occupations. Such a man was James C. Major, our school janitor for ten years. To members of the faculty, whose connection with the school has allowed a longer acquaintance with Mr. Major ' s unfailing cour- tesy, faithfulness, and willingness to serve, his death came with shock and sorrow. A true gentleman, a real friend is mourned. Students, whose knowledge of his character must have per- force been less extensive, are nevertheless keenly conscious of the splendid integrity and faithful service, which were so constantly in evidence in the daily discharge of his many and exacting duties. If success in life be related to service, surely the life of ] Ir. Major has been most successful. His example of devotion to rou- tine tasks is one not lightly to be passed by unnoted. Its lesson is to be taken to heart and acted upon l)y all of us, who have known him. To his family in their loss and sorrow, the sympathy of stu- dents and teachers is most cordially extended, with the hope that the memory of his life and the esteem in which he was held by ali who knew him, mav serve to comfort in this hour of bereave- ment.
