We Regret.
We regret the illness of Mrs.

necessitated the absence of Mrs.
Jennings from school Thursday
and Friday. We hope that her

covery.
We extend our sincere sym-
pathy to Flora Burgin in the
loss of her brother, who met
accidental death during the
holidays.

One feature about this tourn-

semi-finals had a chance to
compete for third place.

Mineola Teacher Marries.
Faculty members and stu-
dents of Mineola High School
were destined for a big holi-
day surprise. Miss Pearl Sego,
one of our mathematics teach-
ers, was married in Tyler on
New Year's Eve to Mr. Fred
Lille, resident engineer with
the construction company in
charge of local paving. Only
very close friends were aware
of the approaching wedding.
We extend congratulations
to the happy pair, and many
good wishes for their future
happiness and success.

Rapidly expanding branches
of the service could scarcely
get along without these instru-
ments, although the keyless
trumpet, or bugle, was not
adopted by the naval or mili-
tary services until long after
j the United States won its in-
dependence.
Fifes and drums were the
first instruments of the United
States Marine Band. They were
used to rally patriots during
the Revolution and they fur-
nished martial music for our
troops until several years after
the Civil War.
About the time of the Franco-
Prussian War, formations of
troops were changed from clos-
ed to extended lines and their
movements became too compli-
cated to be controlled by voice
alone. The shrill-toned fife
was too feeble and trumpets
could be heard above the din
of battle.
Fifers, or "wrifflers" as they
were called in the old days,
fifed with many a trill and
flourish in the Marine Corps
until 1881, when orders were
issued to substitute bugles for
fifes. It nearly broke the
hearts of the old fifers to make
the change, but orders were
