The seal which appears on the cover of the MONROE ECHO is a presidential seal bearing a profile of James Monroe. On the reverse side of the authentic seal are the hands of an Indian and a soldier, and a peace pipe and a tomahawk which symbolize “Peace and Friendship.” The seals were first minted in silver when George Washington was President. With the incoming of each President, a new seal was made. Replicas are made in bronze by the United States Mint in Philadelphia and have been sought after as museum pieces. There is one in the James Monroe Mem¬ orial Library at the James Monroe Law Office. 4

M. H. S. (Chorus) Hail, hail, to James Monroe Our own beloved High; Though her pathway may be rugged We will leave her with a sigh; In the years before us. Her name we’ll always bless; For she’s our foster mother, Our beloved J. M. H. S. Four square to the winds of heaven, Four square to truth and right; May she stand four square forever, Gainst ignorance and strife. May she ever bear with honor And her sons and daughters bless. Our beloved J. M. H. S. 3
