ROUNDUP ANNUAL, JUNE, 191i In accepting the flag for the school, Supt. Largent said in part : On behalf of the students and faculty of the high school, I accept this beautiful service flag with all that it signifies of patriotism, of individual responsibility, and of personal sacrifice. I wish to say, in this connection, that the present student body is not lacking in patriotism notwithstanding the fact that they did not write Thrift and War Savings Stamps slogans. This failure was due, as I understand it, to a misconception of the importance attached to this act on the part of the committee in charge. It is my opinion that no organiza- tion is showing more patriotism by deeds of service and acts of kindness than are the students of the public schools. To buy Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, and Liberty Bonds is the patriotic duty of every American citizen but this represents no real sacrifice. This is merely loaning the money to the government for a time at a reasonable rate of interest. But contributing to the Red Cross and to American Children ' s Army of Relief Fund is a real personal sacri- fice without any hope of reward except the satisfaction of having helped those in distress. Seventy per cent of the school children of this city have pledged for the duration of the war and are paying monthly into that fund four hundred forty-two dollars. To my mind, this act speaks more eloquently and effectively of the spirit of loyalty and good fellowship than do high-sounding phrases and well-rounded periods. This flag, of one hundred and ninety-nine stars, representing the young men who have been connected with this school and who have responded to their country ' s call, is to be to us an ever present reminder of the personal sacrifice these young men are making for us and for the cause of humanity. It is to remind us also of our duty to them and to their loved ones left behind and to the cause that they have espoused. It is for us to see to it that our soldiers are properly clothed, well fed, and fully equipped with the most effective implements of modern warfare. We dedicate this flag to this purpose with full confidence that you will not be ' found wanting ' in its service.
