The pupils were divided into four small groups, each taking its turn on Saturday morning under Mr. Rainey’s supervi sion. Among the places visited were a meat-packing plant, the state penitentiary, a milk-pasteurizing plant, a laundry, a bakery, the telephone plant, the school for the blind, and other places of interest. Our Memorial Day exercises here at the school were held in the auditorium at 10:00 a. m. Friday. The A- merican Legion Post of Salem sent us a speaker for the occasion, Mr. Harold Eakin, brother of Miss Gertrude Eakin who has been with us here for many years. Mr. Eakin recited many points in our national history where it was necessary to sacrifice the manhood of the nation for principles that are dearer than life itself and without which the nation could not survive. He drew attention to the fact that love and reverence should be mixed with our memories of our national heroes who laid down their lives that the nation might live. It was a splendid talk and will not be forgotten soon. In addition to the talk of Mr. Eakin there was a number by our girls’ sextette and singing by the au dience en masse. Supt. Ryan was in charge of the meet ing and it proved of more than ordinary interest for all. After leaving the auditorium our students formed in line and, led by Mr. VosBurgh and his bandboys, marched to the school cemetery where flowers were strewn over the graves of our dear departed who lie there in “the long sleep.”
