It is lovingly proposed to change tha
name of FIDELIS HALL to MONKISH
MEMORIAL HALL.and to refinish and
further ornament it. F. W. Monnish
WM most greatly admired and loved by
a!l_Ridgecre6ters and his life and marty-
dom for law and truth should be honored
among us. He gave most of the money
toward the erection of Fidelis Hall , and
was a liberal giver to all Ridgecrest
causes.
E. L. Hon, of Dcland, Florida, is to
erect near Fidelis Hall toward his cot-.
tage a number of camp huts for boys,
and inaugurate a memorial Boys camp in
honor of his son who fell a martyT to
democracy in France.
