At the school building several United States flags were displayed where formerly , none was seen. At chapel, too, the i principal of the school strove eager ly, to impress the pupils of the real value of America's having been vie. 'torious in the great World War which ! was terminated by this memorable day of November 11. At the close of the day a spirit of reverence for Armistice Day seemed to express it. ] self In many ways.
