When it comes to cartoons and fancy note book covers, he is the star of the school. Leopold has been trying his best to show the girls a good time this spring.

This chamr.ng daughter of Erin is one of the busiest of the class members. Glee club and the paper consume most of her time, and they are enough to keep any one busy. The success of this annual is due a great deal to Katie. She took a trip back east last year, but decided that C. H. S. was the place fdr her. Donald’s Dream I’d like to have a nice soft job, Where I could simply be A sort of weekly visitor To draw my salary. And then when that grew tiresome And seemed inclined to bore me I’d like to have some fellow paid to go and draw it for me. Pag Six

Service Flag Address On the Occasion of the Unfurling of the School Service Flag, Mai) Fifteenth A flag stands for the hopes of a nation, the courage of a nation, and all that a nation finally accomplishes. A flag is not a fragment of brightly colored bunting to be prized for its beauty and harmony of color. A flag stands for wars on land and on sea, for the motives that prompted them, for the lives that were lost, for the victories gained. A flag stands for peace, for its public and private life and for its ideals. Our national flag stands for liberty, justice, honor and law. It has taken over one hundred years of Americanism to make it mean all these thinigs. It has taken the high courage, the brave deeds and the untiring efforts of our people to make it a reality. It stands for a nation established for liberty and justice, whose struggles have all been in the same cause. Our nation can well be proud of its war record. No nation has ever been so generous to its enemies, no nation has done more for progress and less for power. We love our old flag; its red bars of courage, its white stripes of purity, its blue field of justice. It stands for the best there is in us and all that we hold dear. Soon after the United States entered our present war some form of banner was wanted by the people who had sent soldiers to the service. I have the honor tonight of unfurling our service flag with its sixty-five blue stars and its one of gold. This flag shows that many of the sons of our old Chinook High School have placed their lives at the disposal of our country in its time of need. Many of these boys are now in active service in France to help crush the last stand of despotism and to wipe forever the curse of autocracy from the face of the earth. This particular service flag has a deeper meaning to us than merely a beautiful banner. We are proud of the numbers who have gone and of the fact that six in the service represent the class of 1915. These boys are our own; the sons, brothers and friends of Chinook. The gold star shines for our cheerful, friendly Steve Bagan, who was one of our first volunteers. We had hoped, as we hope for the others, that he might return to us, but he will be remembered as one who offered everything for his country. The value of this emblem will not end with the present struggle, but the loyalty and bigness of sacrifice that it represents, will be an inspiration to our m nils in the years to come. May the old Chinook High School cherish and reverence this flag and its Page Fire

Class Poem i Have you noticed that .girl with contempt for the boys, Who would hold a class meeting without any noise, Who would all of us cheat and the teachers delight? Now Minnie, you can’t spoil our meeting tonight. II Where’s Jessie? Where’s Jessie? Who says she’s not game? He’s tipsy-Young Rattle Brains. That is his name. Her sweet smiles a plenty do all of us please, She’s our gay social leader, whom no one can tease. III - Was it tipsy I spoke of? Sure that’s no mistake. Look close you will see every sign of a fake. We want some new ideas for those he has shed, When Leo once gets them, he’ll go far ahead. IV It’s a trick of young Donald’s, you may have been told To dispute with the teachers as if he were old. He put’s on a long face and acts like a judge. Oh, he makes believe nicely, but of course it’s all fudge. V That girl, the last speaker, in three years won the right To the cherished class honors and takes them tonight. Our class mate,.with purpose, won’t drift with the tide, Tho her name's “Modest Violet”, we say it with pride. VI That girl with the brave “Woman Suffrage” look, Makes believe she’ll be famous and write a law-book She stands up for Jeanette, that’s what few of us do. Altho new in the class, she's a tried friend and true. VII Now our Tom who they say has a logical brain, Let’s his thots run along a psychology vein. Says the teachers can’t bluff him by any pretense And he speaks of our High School with mock eloquence. VIII Then there’s Helen, who gives a most excellent slam, But her smile soon conceals it like honey or jam. She has won many friends by her musical art, We might say she has also won many a heart.
