The Balance Sheet DAISY LORD EULCGIZED Tributes Ds-. T. j. Condon, Superintendent of Schools: The many important oices Miss Lord very capably held Ill various educators' associations testify unquestionably to the high degree of her qualities of leader- ship, organization and manage- ment. Her keen business ability, brilliant intellect and open mind, coupled with a thorouigh know- ledge of the problems o teachers, made her an associate of immea- surable value. Friendly in dispos- ition, with a benevolent under- standing of the dihiculties of others, she endeared herself to her colleagues in teaching and earned the high regard of the business people she contacted as teacher of salesmanship. Miss Lord possessed the enviable tal- ent of imparting knowledge which characterizes the born teacher, Her personal magnetism and simplicity of manner won the esteem and confidence of the many pupils who gladly swelled the peak number of her classes and who now hold her in fond remembrance. Requiescat in Pace. Miss Hazel Davis, Assistant Di- rector of Research, N. E. A.: A symbol of warm-hearted humanity that we like to think of as representing one of the hnest sides of the profession. Miss Jean Armour MacKay, President, National League of Teachers' Association: Words cannot express our sense of loss at the death of such an outstanding educational lead- er. Memorial Mass Well Attended A large representation of stu- dents and faculty members at- tended tbe memorial Solemn High Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church in honor of Miss Daisy Lord. As February 12 was a holiday, the faculty :nem- bers thou ht it would be a good day to hold the service, in honor of one who has done so much for Wilby. Greenbethensrfabovethoe, Friondoftllrbeitdayll Noneknewtheebuttolorreilln, Nornamedsbeelmtmpraise- words cannot adequately eTreaa the loss. To say that the eath of Daisy Lord was a shock, that she will be deeply missed seems but humble tribute to that great soul. But the pen has yet so Gnd the voice of the heart, and hum- ble tributes must ruiice. Miss Lord would have appreciated our eHorts. She was the understand- ing type. We all admired her vitality and her enthusiasm. We loved her school spirit and her interest in her pupils. We can't ever forget het cheery Good Morning and her excellent lessons in salesrnanship. Things like these surpass livingg they are, in a sense, immortal. Though Dail Lord has planed on, that tireless spirit of hers works still. The many pu i who absorbed her salesmanship and cheerful philosophy will always reaect no her credit. Miss Lord was like a mother to Wilby stsdenta, past and present. She never hesitated to recommend a pupil fpr a position and was delighted with the success of each of em. Miss Lord 'lvas born in Waterbury and was educated in Waterbury public schools. She had taught salemanahip in Wilby since l9l8. This teaching had embraced more than mere classroom ractice in an effort no succeed in the business world, it included selling :ones self in any field, in any endeavor. Miss Lord, in herself, was a concrete example of saleamanahip as applied to everyday living. She was born a leader. Her heart and soul went into any task that she undertook. Consequendy, she succeeded. To list the organizations to which she belonied and those in which she held office would extend on ad in niturn. Every one knows of the work she did to romote education. Her unceasing, untiring, elforts have affected the lives of many people in many walks of life. From the hurts of than people comes the grief that only time can assusge. Daisy Lord loved living. Her own life was colorful, vibrant, helpful. Her death was as peaceful as her life was exciting. It was as she would have preferred. To the countless, beautiful tributes that have been paid to this great woman, we humbly add our own-the dedication of this issue of the Balance Sheet. We shall offer no tears. Miss Lord would have felt bad if the caused sorrow. The glory of a winter sk , the silence of falling . .ms , ' a omit is so sharp, so ani, that 'W ,ski A I A . j gif . 1, - snow can say much better what we would like to any. Resolution of Board of Directors of Connecticut slllt Teachers' Association: We experience a sense of per- sonal and rofessional loss in the passing of Miss Lord. She was an active, vigorous and effective worker for public education in her community, state and nation and her work will be long re- numbered. M' uma. u.u.ss..i., LnrydiTeas-lsersletire: mentBoord: Miss Lord was a courageous, eameat, outs ken leader in any movement wgoch .she believed was for the beneht of her fellow teachers, and now that the great- est of all Teachers has called Hia servant and found her ready, we must bow to His will.

The novelfy of being a high school sfudenl' in an ufferly unfamiliar building made us all a bil' uncomforfable. fo puf if mildly. The classrooms, The feachers, and fhe sophisficafed upperclassmen all looked very formidable. For a monfh or so fhereaffer, we journeyed fo and fro in fhe corridors. usually wifh our necks craned upward, looking af room numbers. Offen even our eyes deceived us, for many were fhe fimes 'rhaf we found ourselves among sophomores or iuniors who would exclaim in a ridiculing fone, Look al' fhe liffle freshmen! We all suffered fhe same hardships, and fhal' gave us some comforf. Buf 'rhe days passed quickly. and wifh fhe passing of fime, we grew in wisdom and knowledge. By fhe 'rime Thanksgiving rolled around. we had caughf enough of fhaf school spiril' fo break our pockefbooks in order 'ro purchase a fickef fo whaf fhe upperclassmen referred fo as fhe l'radil'ional Thanksgiving game wifh Crosby. Our shoufs, screams, and cheers, aroused our appefifes al' least even 'rhough 'rhey dicln'l' carry fhe Green and Whife across fhe goal line. The game ended wifh 'rhe scoreless counf of 0-0. Affer 'rhal' day, which mighf almosf be called our debuf, we seffled down again fo 'lhe business of being freshmen. The baskefball season offered new opporfunifies for us fo manifesl' our inferesl' in school affairs. The feam enioyed a fairly good season, winning one and losing one of fhe games wifh our ancienf rival. Crosby. Thal' year of I938 will ever be remembered as fhe year when 'l'he French Club sponsored a musical revue fhaf could compare favorably wifh any Broad- way producfion. The freshmen in fhe casf were conspicuous for 'l'heir large numbers and fine falenf. The same year will be remembered for fhe nofables fhal' fhe Waferbury Teachers' Associafion broughl' +o Wilby. Among 'rhese were Carl Sandburg. wifh his poems and quifar, and Tony Sarg, wifh his marioneffes. Ancl so. as we freshmen were quickly learning fo live down 'rhe hafed name. fhe seasons came around 'ro summer and fhe school calendar came around 'l'o vacafion fime. We looked forward wifh swelling hearfs fo Sepfember when we would be graduafed 'ro fhe elevafion of sophomores.
