THE CLOSING
OF TIE SCHOOLS
Trustee S. A. Hodgin had our
flag pole erected last week. On
Friday morning we had our flag
raising. The service was made
doubly impressive because
Charles Smith, one of our soldier
boys, was present and explained
the significance of the flag-raising in the army. The school
was dismissed by the fire drill
signal. The pupils were then
arranged in columns between the
pole and the building. The entire school sang "America," after which Charles Smith made
the following explanation:
"Three men are detailed to
raise the flag. If the flag is allowed to touch the ground, it is
no longer our flag, for 'the old
flag has never touched the
ground.' The command is given
'raise the flag.' As the flag
leaves the ground the command,
'salute the flag', is given. The
soldiers stand at salute until the
flag floats at the top of the pole.
This service is repeated when
the flag is -lowered." After
making the foregoing explanation, Mr. Hodgin, assisted by
Mr. Evans, raised the flag. The
school sang "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean." which closed the
flag raising ceremony. Before
passing into the building, Yell
Leader Raymond Myers, suggested nine rahs for trustee Hodgin for procuring and raising
the flag. The school responded,
after which the class work was
taken up.
The last institute of this year
was well attended. Special exercises were given by the Harr
Twins, from Blue, Malcolm Sy-
mons, violin, accompanied by
Helen Symons, from Clay Center, and Pauline Rees and Pauline Jones, in the song, "Mother,
Kiss Your Boy Good-bye," accompanied by Helen Jones.
At the close of the institute,
Mr. Hollenbach made a motion
that we thank our trustees, Mr.
Tyner and Mr. Hodgin for their
hearty co-operation during the
year. The motion was carried
unanimously. The teachers also
expressed themselves as indorsing the joint institute as we had
lastterm. Trustee L. E. Tyner
was present and made some announcements concerning next
year's course of study. Institute
adjourned sine die.
The grade schools close this
week. The work has been successful and has been marked by
a spirit of co-oporation and
general good feeling. The three
new grade teachers fit into their
places so well that there has
never been the least bit of friction between any of them and
the principal. No doubt thej
will spend part of the summer in
attending school, probably all of
them at Indiana University.
"The door of opportunity is always open to them who prepare
to enter..
Several more stars will be
added to our Service Flag this
week. The names of the boys
will be given next week.
The seniors are progressing
rapidly in their plays which will
be given on or near April 12, at
the Orpheum.   Full   announce
ments will be made next week.
Our arrangements for commencement week are about completed. Would not a Liberty
Bond or War Saving Stamps
make a nice graduating present?
Miss Edna Warner is chairman
of Delaware township to work
the Liberty Loan among the
women. She has appointed
some assistants in different parts
of the township and is taking
hold of this movement with her
usual vim and vigor.  ,
Base-hall, the good old National Game, is claiming the attention of our coach and athletes.
This is the greatest out door
game in existance for those who
can secure the "inside" of the
game. Psychology plays a large
part here as well as in every real
game
WELL KNOWN
About $200 in War Stamps are
credited to Carmel schools for
the past week. Largely to the
credit of one of the teachers, the
pupils are buying more and more.
During the last week about
$1,500 worth of War Stamps were
sold during the week. You
should encourage the children to
save and invest in Thrift Stamps.
Besides the saving of the principal the interest drawn is large
enough to pay you and besides
they are helping win the war.
Your money must be spent to
save your children and coming
generations from the rule of the
unspeakable Hun.

of a delightful surprise. Several
people gathered at his heme and
completely surprised him. All
six of his children and six of his
grandchildren were present and
it is useless to describe the bountiful dinner that graced the table
at dinner time. It was a gorgeous supply that would have
made Messers. Hoover and Wy-
coff feel as if their efforts had
been in vain. The day was truly
an old fashioned day of visiting.
Violet Brunson gave several
readings and Leona Todd sang.
Both tots are „ quite promising
little performers.
Mr. Brunson is a well preserved man. quite active in spite
of his many summers. He is a
man very interested in his family
and nothing delights him more
than a homecoming like last Sunday's gathering. All departed
after a most joyful day, wishing

more happy days. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Clinton
