various schools in the city at the mid
winter graduation period, this year
the tinge and glamour and pathos of
war will reign supreme in practically
all of the schools. Practically every
school in the city announces among
the numbers of its program not less
than one patriotic number and most
of the schools are presenting a COM
plete patriotic entertainment.
The children at Lowman Hill school
