PROCLAMATION OF
RED CROSS WEEK

lnasmuch as our thoughts as
nation are now turned in united
purpose towards the performance
to the utmost of the services and
duties which we have assumed in
the cause of Justice and liberty.
Inasmuch as but a small pro-
portion of our people can have the
opportunity to serve upon the
actual field of battle, but all men
women and children alike may
serve and serve effectively by
making it possible to care properly
for those who do serve under arms
at home and abroad.
And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross is the official recognized
agency for voluntary effort in be-
half Of the armed forces of the
nation and for the administration
Of relief.
Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as President of the
United States and President of the
American Red Cross, !, Woodrow
Wilson, do hereby proclaim the
week ending June %, 1917, as Red
Cross Week during which the peo-
pie Of the United States will be
called upon to give generously and
in spirit Of patriotic sacrifice for
the support and maintenance of
this work Of national need.

otto, Old Glory having the place OF
honor in the hall. The class colors,
purple and gold, covered the banquet
table and were strung to the four
corners of the hall by streamers
draped from the ceiling. The place
cards consisted of an artistic arrange
ment of a small flag attached to the
card with the class colors The pan
quet table was also decorated with
many flowers.
One of the principal features OF
the evening was the playing of the
alumni orchestra, conducted by F. ID.
Fields. From small beginning this
organization has become fixture or
the association and the music was
a source Of much enjoyment.
The annual address was given by
the president, Miss Artisha Fields,
who dwelt upon war and Its conse-
quences. Roy E. Handy gave read
ing from the works of Paul Lawrence
Dunbar, the late negro poet, which
was much enjoyed and heartily ap-
plauded.
F. D. Fields as POSTMASTER, intro
duced each member, who responded
with a toast BETTING the occasion.
These responses were largely OF a
patriotic nature and the spirit OF
patriotism and loyalty to the country
and flag ran through the entire pro-
gram. Mrs. Nellie Bland read the
responses from the members of the
organization residing In other cities,
at the conclusion of which the or
chestra gave the final number.
