Two young men. Messrs. Bower Duncan and James Fart'-Jng, raised the flag amid the cheers of the stu dents and visitors The design of the flag was a square borc-ered by two tripes, red and whie, and a center of blue filled with white stars repre senting the students of the school who During the past three years they have depended largely upon the Long Dis tance service of the Bell Sys tem to keep them in touch with the markets throughout widely separated tobacco districts.
