The patriotic tone given tthe class day exercises of the class of 1918 at the Bismarck Auditorium on Tuesday evening made the event one which will live long in the memory of’ stu- dents and alumni of the capital city institution. “Such is the nature of the public schools of America that the stars of its service flag are the stars of our ‘} army and navy,” said: Principal C. F. Bolt in dedicating the service flag of the class of 1918, which contains fiye stars, “To this the schools of our city are no exception.» Boys of Bismarck are * in every branch of its service. . Forty- nine of-the alumni are with the col- ors. There is hardly a class since 1888 whose service flag would not con- tain at least one star. To tell the full story of their devotion is not my purpose but may. I be permitted to speak of three classes. The class of 1905 1s 100 per cent in the army. lin roll ‘contains the. name of only one young man and he is in the quarter masters corps. The class of 1915 ha» eight stars. This is the largest nun ‘ver of stars for a single class. Tne class of 1917 has @ silver star with iis two stars of. blue. The Flag of 1918. “Tonight I have the great honor to . dedicate the service flag of the class of 1918. The flag unfurled before you shows five blue stars on its field of blue within its border of red. The blue for loygity, devotion, friendship, justice ‘and ‘truth; the white is for purity, cleanness of life and rectitude of character; the red is for courage, zeal and fervency. r “The five stars represent the hopes, the aspirations and’ the love of you who are assembled with us to enjoy the-class night'exercises“of the Class of 1918.: The boys represented by the stars are Guilford J.'Mandigo, Henry W. Jagd, Leslie R. Harrison, Albert William °Cook ‘and Myron Barlow Skeels. igs ‘< Their Devotion to Duty. “Their devotion to. duty is well ex- pressed by Henry W. Jagd, who writ: ing to the ‘Bismarck high ‘school on the eve of his departure for Fianders + fields says, ‘Our future journeys may - Not be as pleasant as.our past but. that matters little to boys of the old U.S. A. for we know that we are fighting for a principle, for freedom, for - democracy, and every thing that the : glorious stars stand: for a swell as our very existence. We: want to'get into action at the earliest possible moment not that we care for material or com- "mercial values but that future gener- ations shall: not-be-terrified with such dreadful calamity as its threatening the world today.’ Boys.of. such, spirit will not fail us-in-this the crucial og var: SoA IA 2 To match tick ray, 0. er aid for help ie al ‘a in } Jon, : wrtagad tes tet ravest of . iia brave] stand With» hingtom, af, Branay- wine. ey, stand with John Paut “> Jones ‘on the ‘decks of the Bonhomme Richard.
