'r ,- 1. As time hurries on we gladly turn from the past and peer eagerly into the future and find each succeeding day bringing back thoughts of our dear old H. S. days gone by, and they become as ever-lasting memories that still influence our lives. -Nina G. Fleenor.

Your Flag and my Flag And, oh, how much it holds- Your land and my land- Secure within its folds- Your heart and my heart Bea-t quicker at the sight: Sun-kissed and wind-tossed Red and blue and white. The one Flag, the great Flag, the Flag for me and you Glorlfled all else beside, the red and white and blue. The Flag, for which poems have been written, songs sung, and battles fought in which heroes died, is our emblem of equal rights. It means free speech, free press, self government, and it also means universal education-light for every mind-know- ledge for every child. It means that the school house is the fortress of Liberty-the bulwark of the nation. The American Public School is the product of American thought and ideals. Under the conditions that existed in the early history of our nation, our fore-fathers were forced to the conclusion that something must be done to unify the ideals of the people. The early settlers came to America for freedom, and of all that came to this country, the Pilgrims of New England contributed most that was valuable for our future schools. Along with the type of schools the New England Pilgrims founded came the idea of separation of church and state, because it was the only hope of having united people, trained in Democracy. Later on they very definitely separated church and state and in so doing placed the elementary edu- cation of youth under control of the state, and they placed upon the state the respon- sibility of teaching Religion Knot sectarlanisml, Morality fnot ritualisml, Knowledge inot monarchyl, essentials to the life of the republic. More and more it is being universally recognized that our American system of free education of all youth is a great equalizer of society. Up to date our system surpasses all others in creating common interest in the movements of society and in helping to create a spirit of fellowship necessary to peace and happiness. It is our system of education, from the elementary public school to the college and university, which has developed a creative power and leadership in the individual. New dis- coveries and inventions have marked the progress of our. educational system, and to the youth of America new fields are constantly opening for efficient and useful ser- vice. Our public school system does not suffer when compared with the educational system of any nation: and if we believe in our National Public School System, let us stand by it, support lt, and all that it stands for, keeping in mind this fact: The American Public School is the Safe-guard of American Liberty, and the slogan of our nation is one Language and one Flag.

' fr 9 As we look back over the varied experiences of our high school days, with their buoyancy and pleasures, their rivalries and ambitions, their duties and generous friendships, their disappointments and triumphs, we cannot repress the pang of regret that comes when we know that those days are gone, never to return. There is one thoughlt however, that is uppermost in our minds, dispelling the shadows of sadness and casting a golden glow upon the future. The influence of ou' high school days has left a lasting impression upon our minds and hearts pervading the inmost recess of our natures, and destined to become a guiding principle through- out our lives. -Mrs. Georgia M. Goss. Class of 1911 ' Georgia t'Hendersonj Shaw Ina fHamilton7 Kestner Brownstown, Ind. Brownstown, Ind. Adda tGanstinel Schwein Blanche Fountain Medora, Ind. Brownstown, Ind. Ralph Goss Medora, Ind. Charles Ganstine Deceased Price Wray Indianapolis, Ind. Anna fGilbertJ Weeks Anderson, Ind. In appreciation of the education received in Medora High School:-Education makes us wiser, happier, and better. It expands the mental horizon, gives us self- confidence, strengthens character and opens new fields of thought. It is the hope and strength of youth and the support and resource of age. It is a permanent in- vestment which no disaster or misfortune can destroy, education is the means and life the end. -Ralph R. Ross. Class of 1912 Susie tFountainJ Holmes, Anderson, Ind.

Although we have gone out into all walks of life we give fitting tribute to her who has given so much of her time to our mental and moral development. Yet each of us, no matter what vocation he may follow, will readily acknowledge that much of his success is due to the inspirations received in our Medora High School Days.

To the Class of '27:-As we trudge along Life's Pathway, the pleasant mem- ories of our High: School Days are a source of great pleasure. The Fraternal Spirit in which we worked, if emul-ated by the student, encour- ages ambition and makes of Life , one great school. So as Dickens would say with the Voice of Little Bob, To Our Alma Mater, God Bless 'er! -James H. Calloway, Pres. Class of '13, Class of 1914 Helen Carr Deceased Stanley Owen Lafayette, Ind.

TO OLD MEDORA HIGH:- As we now review the scenes of by-gone years, how old familiar faces rise up and haunt our vision with their well remembered features, companions of our earlier years endeared to us by many a tie. We tender our thanks for the many encourage- ments received, procuring for us kind and efficient instructors and pleasant surround- ings. To you we feel indebted for much that we are or may be. At times discourage- ments have assailed us, but as a good cause makes a stout heart we have pushed on, and in future we hold in grateful remembrance the yesterday of our school years. Class of 1921 Dorothy Henderson Chicago, Ill. Robert Eshom Medora, Ind. -Georgia Hall. Since our graduation, the fair one of our class of two has broken the rules of arithmetic by making one plus one, one. Her classmate has forgotten-or doesn't use-the principle from geometry that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, for on a moonlight Saturday or Sunday night he often takes the lead in a round-a-bout journey in seeing his puella home. We have forgotten the Latin and As we venture on through Grammar rules, but we think we are co rrect in this line. Such is life, dear Editor, and what graduates have learned in school they oft- en forget or fall to use after graduation. 'Tis a shame after our teachers had work- ed so patiently with us. - Bob, Class of 1922 Grace Ufohnsonl Lyons Detroit, Mich. Hazel Beem Medora, Ind. Dwight Hill Indianapolis, Ind.
