 ARE GRADUATED

evening with the exercises held for and the promotion of the other grades. The program given was ex- cellent and did credit to both stu dents and teachers.
 Doloras White, in her valedic- tory, thanked Bishop Crimont, Fa- ther Rocatti, the Sister Superior, the other Sisters who had taught them and the parents for all that they had done for them mot only in teaching them the three R's' but also for the moral and cultural teachings which they had received from them" Father Rocatti then spoke, saying that the pupils, too, called upon Bishop Crimont, who, he said, had been the right arm of the organization. Bishop Crimont said, in part:
 This is not only the night of the celebration of the commence ment exercises but also the celebra- tion of the blessing of our Service Flag which was very touching and very sacred ceremony. There is special meaning in the colors of our Flag. The red stands for the blood that has been shed to pur- chase the freedom of the world for civilization. The white for purity and the blue for the blue of the heavens. The stars on the Service Flag represents those who have left us but who still wish to leave some thing of themselves at home. Pa trotism is the lesson we Americans should learn toward our Flag. To be patriotic we must love and be loyal. This is the lesson you should learn while young to carry with you through life,-to love and to be loyal to your Flag and to your Church. .''
 The Service Flag, which hung at he right of the stage had thirty one stars representing boys who\ had eft from the parish of St. Ann.
