, .;' FLAG IS PRESENTED. ;
the presentation address, and Judge
J. W: Knowles accepted the banner on
behalf of the court. Pupils of the
high school attended and after the
addresses, the audience, filling the
court room, stood and sang "Am
erica," led by a quartet consisting
of Miss Reatha Fowler, Miss Joyce
Uraig, Or. A. F. Foley and G. W,
r ranklin.
Mr. Boyd in nresontinn- t.h hnnni
said it was the emblem of the soul'
of the American people. A nation
has a soul, as much as an individual.
and this inner light and life is the
better 'part of the character, ideals
and ambitions of the people. The flag
stands for all these aspirations and
convictions ana so properly may be an
object of reverential tribute. Jiulre
Knowles replied in the same lofty vein,
wun remrKS inspiring patriotism and
good citizenship. -
Ine banner was placed ...by the
Juagos bar and the eiirht new citi
zens came forward in turn unit tnnlr
the oath of allegiance to the great
