SENIOR SERVICE FLAG Dedicatory Services in Chapel on April 24th. Prof. Martzolff Spoke On Wednesday, April 24th, the Senior Class unfurled its service flag containing rwenty-fivE starts. Afterward three more were added. Prof. Martzolff MAde the dedicatory rddress. He first read the uames of the memhers of the class of 1918 repre¬ sented bo the stars: Prof. McKinnon, Hollie Ellis, Ivan Amerine, Tom Morgan, Teaboldo Casanova, Arthur Scchmetz, H. D. Newberry, J. L. Fri, Judd Stinchcomb, John Emde, John Rader, Edward Petras, Harry Blackstone, Clyde Bowers, Robert Cotner, Dale Jones, C. O. Williams, Arthur Francis, Miles Cagg,-%,Heber Gahm, Darrel Sams, George Rambo, Stanley Lewis, Dana King, Russel Martin. The names of Harold Mardis, Ivan Massar and George Stuart were afterward added. The Professor said in part: The Service Flag is deeply significant. Of the many emblems which this war has brought forth, none have such a deep meaning as this simple arrangement of our national colors. Of the many recent slogans created to express the mind of the people, none speak so eloquently as these wordless banners, flung to the breeze on our streets, attached to the walls of lodges, schools and churches or hung in the windows of America’s homes. “The Service Flag stands for Loyalty. Wherever you see it you know that each star represents some one who loves his country, who believes in its institutions, who honors the flag and reveres the fathers.” “The flag stands indeed for service. In these desolate days of dark¬ ness and despair of war and waste, of fire and famine, of pillage and pain, of rapine and ruin, of disease and death, of hunger and horror, that one whose star you see on yonder flag has heard the wail of woe and become the good Samaritan to the countless millions who suffer because of a war-mad maniac. “It stands for righteousness. It is a great thing to be a warrior for that which exalteth a nation. “The Service Flag means sacrifice. To each it speaks a different language. To some it is a Rachel weeping for her children; to others a Gethsemane; to others a Via Dolorosa; while to all there looms upon the future’s sky the shadow of the Cross. “This particular Service Flag carries with it a special meaning. It represents the spirit of a class. It shows how twenty-eight have left academic halls and answered their country’s call; in no less manner does it indicate the patriotism of those who yet abide. This flag, this morning, sends 28 messages of greeting, of cheer, or well wishes to 28 soldiers somewhere in camp, in field, on the sea, in the air or on the battle line. This flag represents the spirit of the University. “We believe that these boys have taken with them the spirit of ‘Old O. U.’; that when the testing time shall come to them, somehow there will be brought into their souls the message from their Alma Mater ‘Stand fast!’ and the iron will come into their blood and their nerves will be steeled and they’ll fight to the death. “And when in future years those who remain behind, shall gather
