Indiana Girl Edits College Magazine Mildred Edwards, Kokomo, a member of the Junior class, and Marian Worden of Alton, a senior, today were chosen as editor and business manager, respectively, of the Plasan, the Shurtleff College literary magazine. Election was made by the class in advanced composition. 'Originally published in 1929, the Plasan for three years carried contributions in prose and verse of members of the student body, any student of the college being eligible to contribute. Tho high standard of excellence it maintained and the strong support which was given it by the student body were two factors which attracted attention in other institutions, as the average small college found it difficult to a literary magazine ajive. Even the piasan, however, suffered a lapse) last year, when various circumstances conspired to prevent publication.

The class which Is sponsoring the magazine this year, however, feels that the three years of its life revealed a need for the Plasan and that the disappearance of the Pioneer, the student newspaper, this fall makes even stronger the demand for a student publication other than the junior class an altogether different type of thing. Members of the class are Marian Worden, Mildred Edwards, James Campbell, Raymond Largent, John Boswell, Pauline Hale, Byron Martin, and Oeraldine Doyle. 400 Attend Legion Banquet at Collinsvilk EDWARDSVILLE, Dec.

assistance, to show that the could manage its affairs without My help. 80 insistently did she maintain her recovery had been effected to a sufficient degree as to permit her assuming charge of the home, that Sunday the family acquitted to her wish, and released her assistants from responsibility for the household affairs, while still maintaining domestic help to care for the house duties. It was thought that this concession would contribute to her tranquillty, and would provide occupation which would speed her progress toward recovery, inasmuch as the idea had become an important desire to Mrs, Byford. Each Thursday evening, It was the practice of Mr. Byford, who is a commercial to telephone his home, if he was within reasonable distance of Alton.

Last night, when news of the tragedy had been learned, Roy Maxfleld arranged with the telephone exchange that when a long distance call ahould come in for the Byford residence, it would be. transferred to the Max- fleld When Mr. Byford called from" Centralia, Maxfleld apprised him of his wife's death, and he at once started for Alton. Taught for 98 Years Mrs. Byford had been a teacher for 25 three in rural schools and 22 years as primary instructor at Irving.

In her long career at Irving, Mrs. Byford not only achieved a reputation as one of the outstanding primary teachers ol Illinois, but won her way into ttie hearts of her pupils and their parents. This waa because the children in her classes were more than pupils to her, and her instruction went beyond the field of text-books A woman of fine intellect, her keen mind was supplemented by a kindly gentle spirit. Her attitude was motherly. She stole Into the hearts of her little pupils, and to the less fortunate ones she brought the little things they might have missed at they might feel an equality with their fellows Manners' and tidiness supplying those little taught them taught them to such a way thai they came not only to respect her but to idolize her.

"Under-privileged" hadn't been coined as a word to describe those tots toen but it was to those that "Miss Stewart" took the warm helpfulness, the glow of devoted attention to round out backgrounds, make a bit fuller their lives, that they they might dewlop tote finer hood Mid womtnhood. Health ftaxuttt Obstacle Miss Kate Stewart entered the Alton public school system in 1904, after three years rural teacher. She was assigned to the primary grade at Irving. At once she displayed the rue talent that was to make of her an outstanding er. For 16 years she served, until 1930 when 111 health forced her retirement for year.

Oh her return to Irving she served tor four years as assistant principal to Miss Agnes Toohey, the principal. The death of Misg Toohey ended their long association, a united effort in behalf of children that had won for both the high regard of parents and pupils, and the admiration of school authorities and the public. Her health became such that Miss Stewart sought release from some of her duties and from 1933 to the 1928-27 school year she served only as teacher. In the 1996-37 term, the death of the then principal, Miss Rosalie Zaugg, caused the appointment of Miss Stewart as acting principal. At the close of the year, Miss Stewart was appointed principal by the Board of Education, bub-' in August of the same year, 1927.

Ill health forced her to resign. Her resignation closed a teaching career Of a month more than 25 which 22 had been spent at Iriving. Funeral to be Sunday To the many men and women who, as children, had been the primary pupils of Mrs, to the parents of the many children who had been in her classes, her death caused a profound sorrow. This efficient teacher who had been almost a mother to her pupils had become a tradition of respect and admiration and love, Funeral services will be held Sunday, but today members of the family had not fully decided have the rites held at the Congregational Church in Alton or the one in Oodirey, as Mrs Byford had been active in both congregations.
