marched into the large salon to the
strains of All American Army march
on the VictrCla and after saluting the
flag, the Americans took their places
around the piano. After America"
Uncle Sam entered, was introduced
and loudly and heartily greeted by
the audience, Yankee Doodle" by
the chorus also called forth much
applaus.s. In the patio just ouside,
the remaining firecrackers were to
and their bit to the performance but
it seems that powder and damp
weather do not go we'll together, SO
with very little noise. but much fiz-
zing and a great deal of smoke, they
succumbed.
The meanings of our flag and seal
were explained. The girls of the
school had been playing off tennis
tournament during the week and the
prize was awarded the winner a
beautiful Silk U. S. flag with silver
fringe The history of the Star
Spangled Banner" was told after
which the program closed with the

numbers were small, and we our
selves felt we had done justice to the
