C, INCE the year 1922, a group of representa- tive Central students has annually paid homage to the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. The Central delegation, made up of leaders in student activities, placed the wreath upon the tomb as the presonal representatives of Jamaica Plains High School of Boston. Massachusetts. During the summer of 1922, Mr. Maurice J. Lacey, Head Master of Jamaica Plains High, at that time known as the West Rexbury High, visited Washington to undertake some educa- tional work. One day. while visiting the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Mr. Lacey thought how wonderful it would be if the students of his high school in Boston could pay tribute to l79l the Unknown Soldier by placing a wreath upon the tomb on the following Armistice Day. About a week before this day. Mr. Lacey presented the idea to the pupils and invited them to contribute for this purpose. The money thus raised was sent to Dr. Ballou who was asked to purchase a wreath and to have it placed upon the tomb with a card, which read: From the Pupils of West Rexbury High School, Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Ballou turned the money over to the principal of Central High School, who origi- nated the plan of having a group of students act as proxy for the pupils of the then West Rexbury High. This plan has since been followed by each school.
