SAVE TIME-SVE MONEY USE WANT ADS Mrs. Lala Bailey Dies She loved music but she did not make it her Use, People were her life and around the people she loved and the students she taught, she gave her appreciation of music. And during those thirty-six years of teaching music, many pupils warmed her piano bench, many fingers played her piano keys. But, in her unassuming ways, she taught more than just music. Her words, her ideas, her ideals, she happily shared with her students, and yet, with equal enjoyment, she never tired of listening to her young friends. She was more than a gracious lady; .he had a loving wisdom which made endearing her eighty-one years of life. Having taught mothers, and then their children, she became an “institution.” And although the years somewhat slowed her pace, her mind continued to sparkle for she never stopped learning even though she was a teacher. In her own elegant way, Mrs. Lala Bailey mastered the beautiful art of living forever. MRS.
