Senator Donald Russell advised that the school would be given a flag which had flown over the Nation's capitol. This was a very welcome addition to the Dorman campus. Many ardent fans cheered the Cavaliers on to victory or encouraged them in their losses. For days after rings were received, seniors compared them for size, color, and beauty.
