Ashland High School Service Flag

Ashland Tidings, 3 Dec 1917, page 4

On Wednesday morning, November 28, the service flag having 99 stars, each star representing a soldier or sailor who in some way has been connected with the Ashland high school, was presented by an Honor Guard girl to Private Oliver Anderson, who in turn gave the flag to Principal F. E. Moore. Mr. Moore, in words complimentary to the boys and favorable to the educational institutions of the land, accepted the flag, saying that as long as the conflict lasts this flag will hang in the assembly of the high school as a reminder that some of our fellows are at the front standing for the principle of justice, service and liberty.
