Kenilworth School
Students Mourn
Death Os Mascot
"Mr, Smith” met with death from
an unknown cause Friday and is be
ing mourned by the student body
of Kenilworth school, for which he
was mascot. Mr. Smith, a large \
brindle cat, who adopted the school j
and every student In it several i
years ago.
The first time h»* made his ap-1
pea ranee at Kenilworth he entered
j the doorway of the third grade just
as the teacher asked her class,
i “What does a cow say ?” . . .
"Meow,” replied the cat,. “You are
wrong. Mr. Smith,” flashed the
teacher and the schoolroom burst
| Into laughter.
It was decided that Mr. Smith, as
he was known after that, needed
instruction. Mr. Smith himself
seemed thoroughly convinced of
.this, since he returned to the school
each time he was taken away, until
iat last he was allowed to remain
and became in time, the mascot of
Kenilworth school.
He was on hand each morning
to greet the students and spent his
days visiting the various class
rooms as his favorite students were
promoted from one to another.
Then, suddenly one morning last
week, he was not there. The stu
dents inaugarated a search and
found him at last in a nearby field,
dead.
Funeral services were arranged
for Mr. Smith, but before they could
be put into effect a head of water
was turned Into the field and the
body of Kenilworth’s mascot was
washed away.
The students are contemplating
a suitable monument to his mem
ory.
