Eight Graduate From
the Noltilnier School

The Noltimier consolidated school,
held it's closing exercises and gradua
ton Thursday night, The fine large
auditorium was fulf to overlooking.
The class colors were red and white
and were artistically used in the ef-
tective decorations. An open gate in

propriate and beautiful.
Prof. l. B. McMullen, head of the
science department of the State Nor
NAL school, addressed the assembly,

osophy of Life" He pointed out the
fact that we should be builders and
not destroyers, doors and not loafers.

sented diplomas to Webster Montgom-
cry, Reba Noltimier, Alice Kranz,
Blanche McClaflin, Clarence Burns.

Their Hoffman.

years of high school work will receive
diplomas. They have the completion
certificates from the state high school
examiners in all the subjects pursued
thus far. This large class finishing
the eighth grade can go right on with
their high school work without going
away from home, which is one of the
many advantages of a consolidated
school in the open country. Miss Elsie
Schulze, of this city, assisted in the
musical program. Among others who
attended from this city were Mrs. c.
b. Bublitz, Miss Gracia Amundson and

Dr.. Acher Gets Good
Position In Indiana

The many friends of Dr. and Mrs.
Rudolph Acher will regret to learn
that he has given up his position at
the State Normal school to accept the
chair of psychology at the Terre
Haute, Ind, normal school. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Acher are graduates of that
institution and the position carries a
larger salary than the doctor is draw
ing here, so the move will be advantag-
eous to them in several ways. While
regretting their decision, congratula-
tiOns are nevertheless in order.

It has been five years since we
members of 1912 have met and really
had an opportunity to visit and have
a general good time. This is proper
year for our class to celebrate. You
know the fifth wedding anniversary
is celebrated as the wooden wedding.
We are going to celebrate this year,
not our wooden wedding, but our fifth
commencement anniversary, and pay
respect to aur beloved President, who
has served US faithfully for twenty
five years.
Some of us have not had opportunity
since our graduation to even come
back to Valley City. Now let each
member begin making plans to be
here June 1922, but most especially
June 10.
You write to one or two fellow class
mates, perhaps someone with whom
you chunAmed while here, and ar
range to come together, or at least
have your best friend, who is a men,
Der 1912, be there. It is the desire
Of the class Of 1912 to have larger
per centage of class members pres
ent than any other class which is re-
turning to this commencement, cere-
mony. The members of this class
who are in Valley City are making
plans for the entertainment of all fel-
low classmates who are coming from
different parts of the northwest.

ETIQUET OF THE FLAG
Here are the correct ways to dis
play the United States flag:
The flag should be raised at sun
rise, or after, never before.
The flag must be lowered at sun
set. It is a mark of disrespect to fly
the flag through the night.
When the flag is hung against a
wall, the blue field should be in the
upper left hand corner if the stripes
are horizontal, or in the upper right
hand corner if the stripes are per
pendiCular.
Bunting, for decorations, should
be placed with the red at the top,
white below and blue at the bottom.
A flag used as a street banner
should be hung across the street at
an equal distance between cUrbs.
United States laws forbid the use
of the flag in registered trademarks
Dr. for advertising purposes.

In no case should the flag be al
lowed to touch the ground.
A flag reversed, with the blue field
down, is a sign Of distress.
To display the flag at half mast, in
case of national mourning or other
calamity, the proper way is to raise
it to the top then lower it a little.
Before it is lowered, it is proper TOO,
raise the flag first to the top.
On the death of a president, the.
flag should be displayed only one day
at half mast, according to regulation.
The flag is at half mast only half
a day on Memorial day. At midday
the flag is raised to the top of the
staff, where it remains until sunset.
June IA, the anniversary of the
adoption of the flag, is Flag day.
