Greetings from the President Even’ year brings opportunity for The Peruvian to put in permanent form for the archives some special feature of school life. The 1919 volume will publish the names of all Alumni and students who served in the World War. This Honor Roll will include more than five hundred names. The number is surprising to our friends, but not to those of us who know' the heart of a Peruvian. Men who early in life enrolled in a normal school definitely dedicated themselves to public service. When their country called, they could not refuse larger service. We arc proud of these men. We rejoice that so many from the ranks and at Officers’ Training Schools won their commissions. Words are so meaningless when we conic to speak our appre- ciation of those who made the supreme sacrifice, but the years of our lives will not be enough to blot out their memories. As they died to make the world safe for Democracy, shall we not here and now' dedicate our lives, our talents, and our pro- fessional honor to so teach and live that these dead shall not have died in vain? As America leaps from Isolation to World Leadership, she goes forth with confi- dence because her heart is true. May the Class of 1919 and all other true Peruvians play each his part in the making of young citizens worthy of such responsibility. In our devotion to larger causes, let us not forget that the war has worked havoc to our Alma Mater. The enrollment is the smallest in years. r he spirit is fine. The faculty is more devoted and, if possible, more sympathetic toward the student body than ever before. The physical equipment is being materially improved from year to year. Rally to your old school! Sing her praises from the hilltops! Exalt her name in the valleys and spread her fame abroad upon our western prairies that an ever increasing stream of students may be coming Pcruward! The school authorities are putting forth their best efforts to live up to the traditions of the school and to meet the obligation newly thrust upon them in this reconstruction period. In the final analysis, how’ever, the future of Peru rests with you, Class of 1919, and with like groups which have preceded yours. Peru will be judged by your lives and your professional service. We trust you. Heed this message from your Alma Mater. “Do you know that your soul is of my soul such a part, That you seem to he fiber and core of my heart, None other can praise me, as you, child, can do, None other can pain me or please me as you. “Remember the world will be quick with its blame, If shadow or stain ever darkens your name, Like mother, like child, is a saying so true, The world will judge mother largely by you. “Be this then your task, if task it shall be, To force this proud world to do homage to me, Be sure it will say when its verdict is filed, She reaps as she sowed, this one is her child.” —Adapted. E. L. Rouse.

The First Service Flag A Memorial to Our Brave Soldiers Even the little children know the story of the first service flag and the one bright star that marked it. In that eventful time when the Child of God was born, a flag of light and hope was spread across the heavens and a silver star burst forth. ise men and shepherds saw the star and followed it to the place where the birth of Jesus of Nazareth was proclaimed. These events and others that followed are matters of well- known history. The Child that was born into the world as the star appeared in the first service flag, lived upon the earth and went about among men teaching the lessons of love and kindness and charity. Mis was a life of supreme service and lie con- tended constantly against the forces of hate and meanness and selfishness. Finally the star turned to gold and the world knew that the great sacrifice had been made: the Great Teacher had given His own life in order that others who would observe His teach- ings might live and enjoy life everlasting. Since then the lessons of the first service flag have been taught in every land, and people have sought to emulate the acts of Him whose sacrifices marked the turning of the star from silver to gold. For four long, sad, weary years the birth- day of Christ was celebrated in sadness and sorrow, while the men of many lands gave their lives in a death struggle in order that the principles of right and justice might not perish from the earth. Many stars in our country's service flag were turned to gold. Brave and courageous men sleep upon the fields of France. But they are not dead, for walking in the faith of Jesus they made the sacrifice thru which their souls live on, and the mem- ory of the service they rendered shall live forever as a bene- diction upon the world.
