Hag Pole Dedication On Armistice Day, November 11, a patriotic parade was held in which the local post of the American Legion, the high school and grade school students, and the band participated. The entire parade formed a circle about a sixty foot flag pole on the northeast comer of the high school grounds. Mr. D. E. Richards, Post Commander of the local American Legion, presented Mr. Wm. Meidinger with a four by six foot American Flag. In due form of ceremony and, in behalf of the high school, Mr. Meidinger accepted the flag. Then he fastened the flag to the pole and ran it to the top, after which a few minutes of silence were observed in honor of those who died for our country. Today, whenever school is in progress, one may pass by and look up with pride at the stars and stripes magnificently waving over the foundation of our democracy, the public schools. 19 4 1

ion The staff of the 1940-’41 Bobcat wish to dedicate this publication to Mr. and Mrs. Donald E. Covey for their fine work in behalf of the school. Mr. and Mrs. Covey first came to Union in the fall of 1935. During the six years they have been here, they have put unrelenting labor on the starting and building of the Union Bobcat band. Their first band at Union consisted of but twenty members. Today, due to their fine work, we may boast of forty-six members with high hopes of even finer musicians in future years. It is due to their fine and considerate work that Union may speak with pride of our band. The students of Union High School extend to you, Mr. and Mrs. Covey their sincere thanks for your wonderful organization. - 4 -
