officer in the Corps. This flag is also or richest silk, trimmed with gold fringe, and cost $150. Miss Laura Smith, patriotic instructor of the Corps, made the presenta- tion, and was accompanied to the school by a committee of fifty delegates attending the Women’s Relief Corps convention in Washington. Dunbar also has a Service Flag, commemorating the valor and supreme sacrifice of her gallant sons in the late World War. In its crowded field, 200 and more undim- med stars keep silent vigil, and in mute eloquence attest that their Alma Mater has not labored in vain. As these brave graduates and undergraduates followed the Stars and Stripes for the betterment of humanity and the democracy of the world, other sons of Dunbar patriotically contributed their bit in the gun factory at the Washington Navy Yard, in Government munition plants, and the Chillicothe Radio Station, in the Dental and Medical Corps of the Army, and as enlisted men in the Navy. As early as May 7, 1917, the girl students of Dunbar became actively interested in Red Cross work, and later organized a Senior and Junior Auxiliary with direct affiliation with the District of Columbia Red Cross Chapter. Giving freely and with- out stint of both time and talent, they made an appreciable number of articles for cantonments, comfort kits, and over seas; and in purchase of Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps, and War Savings Certificates, they were not slackers. As ministers and teachers, as doctors and lawyers, in public service and private pursuits, as home makers and community social workers, the graduates of Dunbar High School have reflected much credit upon their Alma Mater and the community in general, and it is steadfastly hoped that the youth, both now and in the teeming years to come, who receive instruction and inspiration within Dunbar’s spacious walls may ever lif. the standard higher, and render acceptable service sufficient unto their day and generation.
