Better than ever the Mohisco, the annual of the Monroe High School, makes Ks appearance on the streets ' of Monroe. Despite the fact that It now cofts almost twice as much to get out an annual It is as big as ever. The loyal support given by the business men of the town in buy in? advertising space in the book made it possible. The annual is a credit to the school and to the corps of eiitors who pro duced it. They are: Elizabeth Hud- i son. editor in chief; Joe McEwen. ' business manager; Leland Stewart and Hannah Blair, assistant business managers; Guerard Stack. May Beas lev. Kaeford Laney and Luctle Marsh. ss-wiate edtors; Ruth Houston, so cial editor; Harry Coble, picture ed tor; Olin Sikes. atheletic editor; Wil liam Shelley and John Coble, art ed ' itors. On the dedication page appears the service flag of the High School, a large star in the center of the service flag colors and on this star Is the numeral 50, the number of former High School pupils now fighting for the freedom of the world in Uncle Sam's army. The annual is dedicated to these fighters for world democra cy ia appropriate words as follows. "To the fifty noble boys of the Mon roe Hieh School, who in the time o! this, our National Crisis, have an swered the call of their country, we, j the Editors of tae .moiusco, anecuon ately dedicate this book as a token! of the love and esteem that we cher ish for you." After the picture of the High School service flag there appears a croup picture of the editors. But on the first pase there appears a cut of the high school, looking so cool and attractive from the outside but looking like well we won't say what on the inside. Individual pict ures of the faculty and the senior class are given. Group pictures of the remaining hish school grades.

The funeral of Major Lurberry, the j American aviator, who was killed re cently in a battle with a Hun nia j chine, was very Impressive. The pall I bearers, three American and French ' aviators, carried the flag draped cof fin from the little frame building to a motor car for the trip to the grave. The procession was led by the Ameri can band, a company of American in fantry just from the trenches and a company of French infantry. Following the coffin were 200 American and French officers Includ ing all of Major Lufbery'a compan ions in the air service, the American general commanding the sector north west of Toul and a French general commanding an army corps. The party drew up at the grave and while the service was being read one American aviator after another planed down from the sky, his motor l shut off until he was just overhead. Each threw out great bunches of red roses which floated down on the cof fin and the bared heads of the offi cers and caps of the soldiers, who were drawn up at attention. At the conclusion of the services the French general stepped forward and said: "On behalf of my comrades of the French army, I wish to pay respect ful fraternal tribute to oue of the he roes of the air, who wat victorious eighteen times; a son of the noble and generous republic which came to our assistance to save the liberties of the world. , "Rest peacefully. Major Lufbery, close by the martyrs to our great cause. Your glorious example will inspire in us the spirit of sacrifice till the day when humanity's enemy shall be finally languished. Good-bye." The American general under whom Major Lufbery once served as a pri vate soldier, aad the eh'.ef of the aerial service also paid homage to the dead aviator. The firing squad fired three times across the grave, a bugler sounded taps and another bugler, hid den in a nearby wood echoed it. As the sound of the bugles died away all was silence evcept for the dronins of the machines of Major Lufberya comrades, patrolling the line high in the air and occasionally the dull booming of the distant guns. Atop all the handsome wreaths wat a little bunch of wild roses and dai sies to which was attached a piece of paper saying that it came from Ma jor Lufbery's orderly and mentioning many kindnesses. With tears in hi eyes the orderly came up to the cas ket and reverently placed the flowers on It. i Official confirmation is still larking to the report that the German air plane responsible for the death of Major Lufbery had been brought down by a French aviator.

You love that flapping, snapping old flag. Your heart thumps hard when the troops tramp by. You're loyal 100 per cent. You intend to you want to help win the war in a hurry. "Sacrifice? Sure," you've been thinking. "Just you wait till they really need it." And you've honestly thought you meant that too. But look yourself in the eye, now, and search up and down inside of your heart did you mean it? Did you really mean "sacrifice"? Listen: You feel poor. The third Liberty Loan, the high prices, the Income Tax you've done your bit. You feel that you've given all you can spare. What? Then what did you mean? What's that you said about loving your country? What did you think the word "Sacrifice" means? Surely you didn't mean, did you, to give only what you can spare? What about our boys who are giving their lives in the trenches? Are they giving only what they can "spare"? How about those mothers and little "kiddies' in the shell-wrecked towns of that war-swept hell: hungry ragged sobbing alone? Giving up their homes, their husbands, their fathers. While we over here with our fun and our comforts we hold up our heads and feel patriotic because we have given what? Some loose bills off the top of our roll. "We've given all we can spare!" Come, come! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let us learn what "sacrifice" means. Let us give more than we can spare let us "give till the heart says stop."
