FLAG POLE WITH A HISTORY
For 43 Years on the Burlington High
School Building.

The flag pole which has been on the old
burlington high school building for thu
past 43 years has been taken down. The
flag pole has rather interesting history.
Fifty years ago it was purchased by r..
w. Peck and placed over his store on Col
loge street. When the store was repaired
seven years later, the pole was taken down
and a liberty cap was placed on it and il
was laid away for a short time When the
Burlington high school was built in 1871
the pole was presented to the school board
by Mr. Peck, on condition rnat the liberty
cap should be left on. The pole was made
of red cedar and the reason for its being
taken down is that it was beginning 10
decay, although the cap is in good condi-
tion. If flag pole is ever placed on the
Edmunds high school. it is proba Bile that
the old liberty cap will be used on it, TIE
flag poles of the Lawrence Barnes and
Ira Allen schools have also been taken
down and will be placed on the lawns OF
the schools.
