During the evening a musical program was presented after which delicious refreshments were served. This affair gave the teachers and new students a fine opportunity to become acquainted.

The hounds were successful in catching the hares in time for all to partake of a delicious supper at Mallet's cottage, Silver Lake. After supper games were played.

14 THE CRESCENT. She has never betrayed the blue of her llag. Such, then, are the meanings we may take from the red, white and blueg such are the lessons that Old Glory blazons to all the world. But our beloved red, white and blue is not intended to show our ideals only to other countries, it is fraught with deep signiiicance for all of us. It is not enough to know what the ilag stands for, we must try to prove ourselves deserv- ing of the privilege of living under such a glorious banner. Just as our heroes of war have been willing to make sacrifices for their great cause, we should prove that the red of the flag flows in our veins by sacri- ficing something of our own time and pleasure for the good of the community in which we live, we should try to make our community a better place in which to live just as America has made the world a better place in which to live: and, like America, we should do it unseliishishly and with loyal steadfastness of purpose. The meaning of our llag for each one of us, in short, is loyal, patriotic citizenship. Undergraduates-We leave Lee Academy and her honor to you. She desires that you become interested, and instru- mental in keeping her in the high position she now occupies. It is your privilege to participate in all school activities and to feel the responsibilities which belong to you as her students. That the different branches of your school life shall be suc- cessful is dependent upon you. May you in word and deed uphold the name of Lee Academy. Classmates-To-night we separate to go-we know not where, but to perform those several duties as our abilities permit. Wherever we go let us remember these words, An occasional defeat is a stepping stone to victory. Certainly we feel that these four years here have been well spent and we feel grateful for all that has been done for us. Yet when we have been graduated and are busy with other things, are we going to forget Lee Academy? It is a duty that we owe to our school not to forget her. That is one of the instances where loyalty , can be shown. Let us do everything possible to make Lee Academy one ofthe best schools in the state, a. school respected for its good trainingand upright- IICSS.
