wort* Longfellow, was recited and
dramatised by Geraldine Home and
Isaac Boos* A historical sketch of
Betsy Ross making the first American
flag was presented by Alice F*jre

should be displayed. A musical flag
salute was then given by the Third

presented a new flag to the school.

American's CSeed." The progrsm
ended by singing the National Anthem.

by the Secretary of the Treasury, in

for freedom, and more than the reduction
of debts to a safe and
