The Hillsboro Argus, 14 Feb 1918, page 1
The big service flag of the Hillsboro High School was dedicated Tuesday—Lincoln’s Birthday—with appropriate exercises. This is by far the largest service flag in the city, and Hillsboro High has reason to be proud of its H.S. boys today fighting for what its halls have taught—liberty and democracy.
Fifty-six stars grace the flag, and it is a testimonial of home hearts to the boys in blue and olive drab, serving not only their country, but all humanity.
The stars are so arranged on the flag to form the letters “H. H. S.,” and was much admired by the large audience.
The program was as follows: Singing of “America,” by the audience; invocation, by Dr. Skipworth, of the Methodist Church; solo, “ My Own United States,” by Miss Marjorie Wells; “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address,” by Arthur Reiling; quartet, “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” Edgar Kamna, Francis Linklater, Edw. Scheidt and Harold Briggs; reading of the names of boys represented, A. C. Shute, chairman of School Board; address by Mr. Brown, of the Portland Y.M.C.A.; singing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” by audience.
