On that day Ottawa broke one of its traditions so that these students might graduate in the middle of the year. The exercises followed the same order as the eve- ning exercises in June except that it was in the afternoon with the student body attending. The Army snatched away Fred Geers, Don Salm, Fred Vander Woude, and Dave Worm. Alice Behrens, Anthony Jensen, Virginia Lewis, Pat Stricklen, Virginia Warren, and Lois Whitmore are working. Jackie Krell is back at school again, Ruth Postema is studying to be a nurse at Michigan State, and Dorothy Tausend is attending college there also. Mr. Giddings presided over the commencement and introduced to the student body Mr. Harry J. Kelly as the speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Mitchell and the Senior orchestra furnished the music. Service Flag Dedication February 22 had a double meaning for the stu- dents at Ottawa this year. Dedication of a service Hag to the men in service held the lime-light at an assembly on Washington's Birthday. As Bill Daniel- son on behalf of the seniors, who dedicated the fiag, spoke, the curtains opened displaying a Hag with a red border and white center in which was a blue star having the number 374 on it. This number which represented the number of men then in service is now 413 as the book goes to press. Lieutenant W. M. Fleetwood from the Army Weather School here in Grand Rapids, spoke on What the people here at home are doing. He told us that the two gold stars in the corners of the flag represented Richard Wells and Phillip Aldrich, who had been killed in action. In memory of their death taps was played. A short address given by Mr. Shillinger closed the assembly.
