The choice off the present Sen- ior Class for this honor is Thomas Par- due. w’ho has served the class faithfully and w’ell as president. Tom was very active In the Operetta, handling much of the business related to it and at the same time taking an imoortant part in the cast. He has also been prominent in the work of the orchestra during the current year. In addition to this he has rendered valu- able service to the school as Captain of the Traffic Squad. By keeping his as- sistants efficient in the performance of their duties he has done away with the old time traffic congestion. In short, we may say that in all his activities this year, Tom has proved himself a born leader. We wish at this time to acknowledge the valuable help of Gordon Marston and Hjalmar W ' idell, whose services have been of inestimable value in put- ting out this last issue.

The student body marched from the High School under the direction of pupil marshals. The High School Orchestra rendered the introductory march, which was fol- lowed by the entrance of members of the veteran organizations and auxiliary ; units. INlr. Watson, principal of the High i School, extended the welcome of the ' school to the veterans, touching briefly upon the appreciation which is felt for ' what these oganizations have done for the community and the nation at large. A fine program was then given by the school, every number delivered showing thoroughness of preparation as to re- flect much credit upon both pupils and I the teachers who had the resi)onsibility j of the arrangement of the numbers. Following the program by the pupils, I Mr. Watson introduced representatives I of the several organizations who spoke I to the pupils. The first speaker was j Comrade Trull of the Grand Army of ! the Republic who spoke of the rapid j decrease in number of the G. A. R. and [their widows. He spoke of the apprec- ' iation of the G. A. R. members for the ' kindness shown them on all sides, and pointed out the fact that this kindness in general and that respect and loyalty to the flag is increasing. He empha- sized the significance of the flag in a very fine manner. The second speaker was Commander Knapton of the Spanish War Veterans, who spoke very briefly on the apprecia- tion felt for the tributes shown his comrades. The third speaker was Comrade Davis who spoke very eloquently and fitting- ly on patriotism. He said in part, “This, our flag, stands today, an unsul- lied tribute of true patriotic loyalty. Instill this love of the flag into the hearts of youth. When youth has learned what that flag cost, it will be better able to defend its Constitution, and make better men and women for our nation.” The fourth speaker was Commander Horne of the G. A. R. Commander Johnson spoke for the American Legion and gave a brief as- surance of the willingness and deter- mination of that body to “Carry On.” As the school year closes it is fitting [ 17 ]
