On October 1, 1926, a Wall was built through funds subscribed by students and alumni of South, as a memorial to the students and alumni who gave their lives in the VVorld War. Half an acre outside the Cedar Avenue wall was left as an approach. This year on these grounds have been planted numerous beautiful shrubs, the trees having been donated by the organizations ofthe school. It seems very fitting and appropriate to have a fresh, vernal, and lasting memorial to those brave boys. The numerals indicating the location of the trees, the service men, the kind of tree, and the contributing organizations follow: James Balentine ---- Black Hill Spruce - lblusketeers John Curtin - - American Arbor Vitae Blue Triangle William J.
