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.

    I am so enjoying all the eBooks I am seeing... I was NOT expecting these great resources. I have about 8 I'm looking forward to reading.

    I joined because Ralph Thonstad [facilitator of the GFO's AI in Genealogy Special Interest Group] does such a good job of keeping me up to date on AI and Genealogy.
