-N ll Picture Diary fig The Flag uf Iuspiratiuu A FLAG, I symbolize inspiration and duties entrusted to teachers and directors. I feel things deeply-things that are wrongg things that are rightg things that are tragic, things that are big and splendid. I rise straight and proud each morning. Weary, I rest at sunset. In a sad moment, I bow at half-mast. In sunlit hours, I salute the gallant. I tug to hold you erect and steady, you who are bold and gay. I congratulate your parents. I hope for your wisdom and health. I ask you questions. What sort of an individual are you? What do you want from life? What will you give fo life? Have I added to your knowledge? Am I a good example? I demand attention, for I am serious. I shall not be struck, for that is surrender. I shall not allow the flag of ignorance to fly above me, for that is defeat. I shall proudly float over our school protecting it with stripes of resolve and stars of valor. I have but one fear, that, while flying briskly in the clear sunlight, I shall overlook even a small chance to be helpful. ISI uf thu Faculty llff lluty
