Lieut.. Tomlin.on Remembered

The children in my grade at the South Highlands school were so pleased with the idea of naming societies for our beloved soldier boys who have served their country, that they in sisted upon forming w. s. societies and naming them in that way" said Miss Emma Koneig of the South High lands. school. We have named one of the societies Bryan Tomlinson,' after Lieutenant Tomlinson, who was one of our boys to make the supreme sacri- fee. This is interesting also from the fact that Mrs. John w. Tomlinson was the first president of the South High land School Improvement association, during the time Bryan was one of our boy pupils We are so glad to have w. $. society named after him, and believe it will be an incentive to duty, and that this little society will be one of the most active bands of econo- msts and advocates of thrift in our Alabama schools. We also have a so- ciety named for General Pershing and one for President Wilson"
