The Flag Raising

The parent day celebration and
flag raising by the pupils and pat
rons of the Laclede schools, held
last Friday, took place according
to the program arranged by the
Parent Teachers Association. A
large crowd assembled in the park
where a table more than hundred
feet long was loaded with good
things to eat and all enjoyed a fine
basket dinner.
The parade made up of automo-
biles, chariot for the queen, and
various other features, followed
the route as given in former
issue of this paper. At the
school campus the queen was
crowned, the hansome flag, 8x16
feet, was hoisted to the top of the
seventy foot pole, patriotic songs
were sang, the uniformed boy
scouts gave a drill, all of which
was witnessed by large and en-
thusiastic crowd.
Following the outdoor exercises
Prof. Meyer, a member of the En-
gIish faculty of the Kirksville
nomal, made a fine address in the
assembly hall which was packed to
standing room.
An important feature of the day
was the announcement that Super
intendent Page had just been noti-
fed by the state superintendent
that the Laclede schools had been
placed on the fully accredited list
with II approved units. This
means we have one of the frst-class
schools of the state.
There were a large number from
the rural schools present, the Oak
Arbor school attending in a body
with a handsome banner and in
charge of their teacher, Miss Myrtle
Harter.
