was one that every High School pupil
will not soon forget. The program
was almost entirely given over to the
d. E. A. Club, which presented the
school with beautiful plaque, Wash
ington at Trenton.
When the pupils entered, the plaque
was yelled with a large American
flag. The applause at sight of it was
followed by the singing Of "The Star
Spangled Banner" Then the school
saluted the flag using the words, II
pledge allegiance to the flag and the
country for which it Sandstone ma
ton, indivisible with liberty and JUS
tice to ALL" Annie Bet Stone explain
ed how the money was earned, and the
history of the original painting. Tom
Baird, president of the D. E. A., told
of that memorable Christmas day of
1776 when Washington, after crossing
the Delaware, surprised the Hessians
at their carousal and completely routed
them with $500 picket men. In behalf
of, the club he presented the gift and
unveiled it. Mr.. Summers, represent

cellent address of acceptance, in which
he made an eloquent eulogy on Wash
ington.

League, talked to the school for the
purpose of getting the High School
pupils to buy large flag.
Mr.. Croker gave his appreciation
to the D. E. A. Club for its gift and
expressed the hope that similar deco
rations woul dbe added to make Cape

the patriotism of everyone.
The spirit of patriotism has invaded
the school, and pupils are contributing
literally to the flag fund. All contri-

day noon, so the flag can be purchased
as soon as possible. The school is
planning to have a great flag raising
