 During the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, the little tots from the kindergarten and the two lower primary rooms, marched up stairs each carrying a flag of generous proportions and paraded their clrcuitous way up and down the seventeen aisles of room nineteen. The flags, held high, looked as if moving with no visible means of locomotion and the sight was one of the prettiest and most inspiring seen in Granniss hall in a long time, Mass ed together on the large platform, these embryo patriots sang America with fervor that was interrupted on~ ly by the occasional obscuration of their faces by the flags of those stand ing behind them. To the tune of Ta rn,,rxh thaU marched down stairs again.
 Just before the noon dismission, these same little people assembled in the lower hall and waved a salute to the long lines of pupils as they passed out of the building At the same time a double quartet of girls sang from room nineteen, accompanied by Madge Champlin. sang Our Flag. in the lower hall, the Kindergarten piano having been moved there for the occasion, The girls who sang were Florence Downs, Dorothy Rockwell, Louise os- born, Ruth Seeley.
