The Blue ante white 9 American Hag, which was presented by Roy Crooker, the president of the class. Considering the times and the condition of our Country, a more ap- propriate or a more desirable gift could not have been made. The hearty cheers which followed the pre- sentation attested not only love for the stars and stripes, but appreciation of the thought of the Seniors in sup- plying the long felt need of a new flag. After singing The Star Spangled Banner with fervor, the school ad- journed to the lawn to witness the raising of the flag and to salute it as it was Hung to the breeze. We are indeed very sorry to lose from our school the young men who have heard the call of their country and responded to it. Herbert Vallee, Roy Crooker and Robert Swett joined the Navy during the first week of this term and are now at the training sta- tion in Newport, R. I. These young men will be missed very much in our school life, but we are glad that their patriotism has prompted them to en- list. Others have shown the same patriotic spirit, for a number have joined the National Guard and the Guard in Gorham, while Stephen Dresser has joined the Ambulance Corps in France and has received his notice to be ready at any time. The whole school wishes these young fel- lows the best of luck and a speedy and safe return. K-4 tt 4
