The program was interesting from
beginning to end. The High School
students performed their part with
credit to themselves and the institu-

cheered when announced to speak
at the evening program, indicating
the appreciation of his presence, his
consideration of our interests and
the high esteem In which he is held
by the people of Pennington.
After the program, all were in.

which once foated over the grim
walls of "a turreted castle was bap-

"We are well acquainted with the
development Of our flag on Ameri.
can soil. First II was composed of
thirteen alternating red and white
stripes with a circle of stars in a
field of blue. At the time of the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence the colonies were fighting
under different banners. When the
standard of the mother country had
been torn down, each colony had
hoisted an ensign after its own llk-
Ing. However, Washington, Col
onel Ross aud Robert Morris were
appointed committee by the Con.
tinental Congress to design a Ma
tional Banner. Mistress Betsy
Ross, wife of the Colonel, made a
flag, our flag, of thirteen alternating
red and white stripes, and in the
field of blue thirteen five.pointed

"Once. out from the frowning walls
of this castle, went forth brave
knights, following the stars and

Prof. Lynch received the flag from
Miss Beeson and made short re-
sponse In behalf of the school, after
which Frank Tucker, a senior of the
High School, gave an interesting ac-
count of the flag aud Its origin.
History of Our Flag, by Frank Tucker
"Generally, people do not know
anything about the origin of our flag.
Some would have us believe that the
design was taken from the coat OF
arms OF the Washingtons. Others
would have us believe that the
stars and Stripes is an original
idea. But recent and diligent re.
search has disclosed the fact that
the origin of our flag goes back to
those stirring and exciting days
when chivalry was In the height of
it's glory aud splendur.

Friday, March 10, was great day
for Pennington. IL was particularly
gratifying day to those who had
watched the growth of the public
school sentiment which made pos
sible the magnificent $4,000 High
School building which was dedicated
that day. 1t evidenced growth from
the days when, to advocate taxa
tion for public school purposes, was
almost social and business Ostra-
cism. The people of Pennington
were proud, and they have cause to
he, for this building Is no doubt one
of the handsomest and best equipped
south of st. Louis.
The Flag Raising.
The program OF the dedication ex.
ercises began Friday morning at the
school campus The Pennington
band marched at the head of the q.
A. II. to the grounds. A platform
had been erected for the speakers of
which Prof. o. G. Lych presided,
were opened with an earnest prayer
by Rev. l.. NJ. Thompson.
Miss Susan V. Beeson was selected
To make the presentation address of
the flag. 1t was but fitting tri-
butte to one who had devoted fifty
.,f t,.,p ., l. a. -
work, and who, though out of the
harness now, still loves all the good
work that is being done for the up
lifting and upbuilding in the educa-
tion of the youth of our land. Miss
Beeson spoke as follows, and after
the address was presented with IA
large bunch of carnations by the pu.
pills of the schools.
Miss Beeson's Address.
Ladies' and gentlemen, boys and
girls of Pennington: congratulate !
you most heartily on this really |
great occasion. The opening of n |
fine new high school building and |
the raising over ii of the flag of our |
country, with all that the flag stands
for, il worthy to be called great |
occasion. Besides being one of the |
most beautiful flags In all the world |
in regard to colors, our flag means
more than that of any other coun-
try, because it stands for school
houses and chances for every boy
and girl in the land tn make the
most of himself and herself. Flying
over school mouse, il means the
beginning of self.cOntrol, self-cul.
ture, self-development, the three
cardinal virtues that, with Gods
help, go to the making up of noble
and noble womanhood.
"The older peoples of the world
made statues to the four cardinal
and when Christ came into
-he world he gave us three more.
Each generation tries by means of
hard study and works
a combine these 10 its own char
icter.
"In our flag the stars suggest
'ternal hope. In the stripes the
discipline of self.control is sugges-
rested. In the beautiful colors of ,
ed, white and blue are symbolized ,
owe, purity and truth, all of which
combine to stimulate us to attain
he virtues of prudence, temperance, !,
ortitude and justice with the higher
'irtues OF faith, hope and charity
Idded. O
And now, in presenting this flag q
o the boys and girls of the Farm /
ngton High School, give you u y
acred trust to hold and to live up 4
o, that your fathers and mothers,
With all the citizens of Pennington, a
nay feel you are worthy of this i
'reat opportunity.

Bridge, near Wilmington, Delaware,
on September the third, III.
To-day there are forty seven stars
in our national emblem, one for each
state in the Union; but AS an ever
lasting tribute and memorial to the

chased our independence at So great
IA cost and so heroic an effort, we
have retained the origional thir.
teen stripes.

By angel hands to valor given,

Then DR.. George NJ. Wilson, "A
member Of the G.. A. r., made IA
short address after which the flag
was raised by MIR. George NJ. Gies-
sing, president OF the High School
senior class, while the band played
the Star Spangled Banner" and
the majority of the assemblage stood
with uncovered heads. This was
appropriately the occasion to instill
into the minds of the boys and girls
that when the national hymns,
America and the "Star Spangled
Banner" are played, 1t Is proper to
uncover the head If out doors, and
to stand il in doors. 1t is to be
hoped that the next time either one
of these selections is played in the
Opera House that the entire audi
ence will stand instead of three or
four.
The building was opened then for
inspection and only words of praise
were heard of the architect. the Me-
Carthy Construction Company and
the School Board which made such
n building possible after we, the peo.
pie, voted for 1t.

Afternoon Exercises
The auditorium was filled to over
flowing for the afternoon exercises
which were opened with piano duet
by Prof. McFerrin and Lawrence
Smith, after which the High School
Chorus sang "Stars of the Summer
Night" aud Rev. G.. +. Hickok de-
livered the opening prayer. Hon.
Martin L. Clardy was to have de-
liver the opening address, but was
prevented from being present.
DR.. Hill's 8 Address.
Pref Lynch, In IA few words of
praise, then introduced DR.. y. Ross
Hill, President OF the Missouri State
University. Or. Hill understands
the art of putting his audience In Il
good hunOr from the start by telling
"A little joke, and from this he
branchcd of to the advance in cdu.
rational methods from Colonial
times. when an education was re-
CURED ouly for the doctor, lawyer
and preacher. The advance of cdu-
national methods, he said, was on
