Ontario High School Service Flag

Ontario Argus, 1 Nov 1917, page 1

Students of the high school at a meeting this week appointed a committee consisting of Superintendent Douglass and the presidents of the Seniors, Amy Canfield, Juniors Charlotte Claggett, Sophomores and Homer Maddux, Freshman, to select and purchase a service flag similar to those being used in homes over the country, where one or more members are in the service. The flag is made up of red border and a white center on which are blue stars, one for every representative in the army or navy service. The high school flag will contain thirty-two such stars.
