SOUND THE BUGLEST OF PEACE Peace was The aim oT Dr. Emil Hirsch. To him noT any our school is dedicaTed, buT also The ideals oT us, The sTudenTs, who cherish our heriTage oT peace. We believe, as Dr. Hirsch be- ieved, ThaT peace can accomplish more Than war has ever done. Tnree days each year we dedicaTe especially To The ideal oT peace. AlTnough we may commemoraTe wars or celebraTe armisTices, our obiecT7ye is always The same-To herald The glories oT peace. DR EMIL G. HIRSCH ON MEMORIAL DAY Tne Drama Class, Through Tableaux, recalled memories oT our Three greaTesT wars. ln The uniform oT :ne respecTiye wars, To The accompanimenT oT songs sung by The soldiers oT ThaT day, The scenes proe gressedt buT underlying iTs marTial exTeiior, The paThos ThaT underlies The glamour oT war assumed ITS 'rue prominence. ON l-IIRSCH DAY 'ne awards Tor The besT essays on peace were presenied. Myra EsTrin won The TirsT prize: BeTTy Lou Fu Ton The second: and Jean T-TalTerTy, Third. WiTh Banners Flying, a drama exposing The horrors oT war, compleTed The program. ON ARMISTICE DAY 'he Public Speaking Class presenTed a radio assembly. Two sTudenTs Tuned in on a radio program orCaocasTed Trom ArlingTon CemeTery. The Tenor oT The message was The TuTiliTy oT war and our ulTi- TaTe nope Tor peace. The bugles of peace now blow over The graves of The dead. May They never call oThers To war.
