Lieut.. Curtis and Corp'l
Hartman in Letters of
Gold on Honor Roll.
SEVENTY NAMES ON LIST
New Tablets to Be Placed in Assembly
Room of High School in Honor of
Former Students Who Answered
Call of Flag-Many Officers.

Written in gold on the Honor Roll
soon to be placed in the Assembly
Room of the Kenosha High School will
| be the names of Corporal George Har-
man and Lieut.. Herbert II. Curtis,
two former students Of the school, who
as soldiers in the Great War, have paid
the "last full measure of devotion" to
their country's cause. Less conspicous-
| ly written on the new tablets of honor
will be the names of sixty eight former
members of the Kenosha High School
who are serving in the armies of the
allied nations. The Honor Roll is to
supplement the service flag with seventy
stars which several weeks ago was pres
ented to the High School by the moth
ers of the soldiers.
| The placing of the new Roll re-
calls the thrilling story of Corporal
George Hartman, member Of the 49th
Regiment of the Canadians, who died
in Estoble, France, on the night of
October 4th, 1917, from wounds re-
ceived in valiant charge near Yer
dun. Within the last few hours of his
life Hartman wrote to his sister in Ken
osha affirming that though he fought
as a Canadian, he should die as an
American and if death came he should
meet it with the confidence that he
had done his best for his country.
IF I do not live', he wrote, g and
Uncle Sam puts up his best work, it will
still be Liberty and Union and [ know
that shall not have died in vain. =
The second student of the school to
write his name in gold ON the honor
roll was Lieut.. Herbert H. Curtis,
u. s. N. A., who died in Kenosha on
November 23rd, while spending a fur
Tough with his parents. Lieut.. Curtis
was the second Kenoshan to volunteer
for the First Officers Training Camp
and in his short term Of service proved
himself efficient in the service of sold
Glory"
"The Honor ROLF, said Principal
Tremper this morning, "is being placed
in the Assembly Hall to remind the
students constantly of the devotion of
these men to the flag and to inspire the
students to every patriotic action.
Written on the roll are names of Of
ficers all the way down from Captain
Theleen of the United States Navy to
sergeants of the United States Nation
al Army Our record is a marvellous
tribute to the patriotism and efficiency
of the school. Even with the most di-
ligent searching of the records Of the
school it is possible that we may have
Internationally omitted some name
from the list and we shall be glad to
rectify any mistake which may be cal
led to our attention"
The new Honor Roll is to be divided
on each side Of the large service flag
and cold Glory which are placed in
the front of the room. The rolls are to
be made with patriotic embellishments
and the names are to be hand engrossed
so that the memorial of service viii be
one of the most prominent in the city.
Tt is expected that the Honor Rolls will
be ready to be placed in the Assembly
Room within several weeks.
