Durlngr the week immediately preceding- the Christmas holidays, M. Wm. Gaspard De Coligny, in the name of the De Coligny branch of the -Huguenot Society, presented the school with a framed photograph ofx his ancestor, Admiral De Coligny. It was this Admiral De Coligny, dis tinguished Huguenot leader of the time of Charles IX of France, mur dered during the Massacre of St. Bartholemew, who, during the six teenth century, established the Huguenot colony in Florida. Tbi portrait was presented to Fassitern because of the recent contribution made by the school to the efforts of the De Coligny Society to establish a French colony " in Morocco. On January 13, upon Miss Shipp, personally, was bestowed the Cross of Saint Esprit, the emblem given to all Huguenots during their child hood or youth. During the World War the French Huguenot soirti jrs wore these crosses on their oapa as a means of identificalion. Of the numbers of these crosses found on the French battlefields since 1914, six were given to M. De Coligny to be awarded to persons to whom he saw fit to present them. According to the constitution of the Society, tbe Huguenot Crosses may be bestowed only upon persons of Huguenot des cent who have rendered distinguish ed services to the cause of humanity, or who have nobly furthered the in terest of the Society. Hence the pre sentation to Miss Shipp. - Amongthe world figures who have received the Huguenot Cross during recent years are, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, Madam Clemenceau of Paris, Capt. E.
