ASSEMBLY
The entire student body of the high
school assembled in the auditorium
Thursday, November II, at IL o'clock,
for very interesting program COM
memorating Armistice Day. Kenneth
Vincent led the group in singing "My
Country 'Tis of Thee" After this the
Salute to the Flag was led by Griffin
Callahan. Mary Evelyn Stevenson
read the devotional followed by the
repeating of the Lords Prayer. Then
our choister led in the singing Of two
appropriate selections, There's al
Long, Long Trail" and "Keep the
Home Fires Burning" Following this
two beautiful poems were recited,
america for Me-" by Betty Jones
and FLANDERS Field" by Betty Hen
derson. Then Jack Dickinson acting
as presiding officer, introduced the
guest speaker of the day, Rev. John
A. Ditto.
Among other things, Rev. Ditto com
pared the horrors of so-called modern
warfare to the World War. He said
war is supposed to be a combat be-
tween two armies, not a massacre of
women and children as it is TODAY.
He also pointed out that nothing was
accomplished by the World War, so
why have wars: The message was
very instructive and entertaining and
the points that were brought out were
excellent food for thought on the part
of the listeners. After some an
nouncements made by Mr.. Krabill, the
students were dismissed.
