Carlton High School Service Flag

The Oregonian, 14 Apr 1918, page 24

A service flag was dedicated to 23 of the former high school students of Carlton Or., Wednesday afternoon.

The flag, with its 23 stars, was carried by Lillie Wymann, Eva Wiser, Jessie Hoffman and Fay Boothby, as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played by the high school orchestra, led by E. M. Haley, superintendent of schools.
