In assembly December 19th, 1919, a program was given by the members of the senior English classes which brought to those whc were here in C. II. S., a memory of a similar occasion, when on January 11th, 1919, Mrs. Simonds, a graduate of the class of 1890, presented the High School with a beautiful service dag. It contained fifty-eight stars, representing members of the Alumni in the service. Later on, the Smith and Irving societies, feeling that all those in the service who had attended C. II. S. should be represented, purchased another Hag containing over a hundred stars. On this last occasion, these two flags were lowered and laid away where they will be safe for years to come. The first speaker was George Smith, who in his talk took his listeners back to the time when our boys heard the cry for help from the Allies and responded so willingly to that call. Then he told how the two flags were procured. Miss Bertha Van Skoik then recited “In Flanders Fields,” by Lieutenant Colonel John I). McCrae. Alice Breen followed, speaking briefly of the courage, fighting qualities and patriotism of the boys of whom C. II. S. is so proud, and the regret with which we look upon the eight gold stars. As this speech was being given, the large service flag, which hung at the back of the platform, was lowered and folded by Carroll Cowden and Rockford Dewey, and with the Alumni flag was placed in the box, accompanied by a few words from George Smith to tin Page Twenty-two THE TATTLER
