RED and BLUE GOOD NEWS WELL TOLD Vol. XVIII Alliance High School, Alliance, Ohio, January 29, 1943 No. 9 Bert, Carr Receive Legion Awards For their character, scholarship and achievement, Bertha Mae Bert and Herman Carr were presented the American Legion awards at Commencement exercises, last evening, January 28. This award, a bronze medallion and certificate of citation, is the highest honor attainable in high school life and is awarded to the outstanding boy and girl^ members of each graduating class. Herman, however, did not receive his award in person, as he has been called into the service of his country to study meteorology at Fori Hayes. In his absence, Herman's theme, "Remember," was delivered by Harold Yeagley, a classmate. Bertha Mae Bert gave her oration, "O'er the Land of the Free." These themes were chosen best from the class. The Commencement address was delivered by Kenneth C. Ray, state superintendent of schools. Presentation of diplomas was made by Harvey W. Ball, president of the Board of Education to the class of 110 members. Rev. Charles Bair of the Union Avenue M. E. Church, the mixed chorus and high school orchestra assisted in the exercises. Baccalaureate services were held at the First Methodist Church, January 24. when Rev. Frederick J. Drew of the Trinity Episcopal Church, delivered the sermon to the graduating class and guests. Students Support '43 Chronicle Drive Room 217 carried off the highest honors in the Chronicle campaign with subscriptions received from 100% of the students in that assembly. Rooms 201, 225, and 222 follow closely with percentages of over 85. Senior assemblies 204, 221, and 226 are 80%. At the close of last week, 785 subscriptions were in from the total enrollment of the school. "I believe this to be an excellent number," stated Miss Mary Dilley, "and still more are expected to come in the final week of the semester." The subscription price of $2.00 is to be collected as soon as possible after the beginning of the second semester. The courteous cooperation of the students and teachers has been appreciated by the Chronicle representatives. Band Members Have Good Cause to Smile Large A's on their sweaters and a party, which will be given in the gym on February 19, has caused the smiles on the faces of the band members this week. These letters will be presented to the eligible members by the Band Mothers' club. They are large, red A's, similar to the athletic awards, except that they have the word "band" written on the bar of the A. Dancing and games will be featured at the party, which is also sponsored by the Band Mothers' club. This ambitious group will also sponsor the movie Ice Capades at the Morrison Theater on February 5. Tickets are available from any band member. An Editorial "Soldiers, sailors, and marines, who recently attended Alliance High, will be able to keep up with all the latest news, gossip, and jokes according to a plan adopted by the Student- Club Council last week," reported Mr. Webb, Council sponsor. The newly elected group has launched a program for the purpose of sending the Red and Blue to all service men who graduated in the January and June classes of '42, and those students who have joined the armed forces during the present year. In order to finance this project, the Council plans to sponsor Frye, the magician, in a chapel program sometime in March. All of the profits from this performance will go to the subscription fund. If Frye is unable to make an appearance, other entertainment will be secured. Fall in line, fellows and girls. Looks like this Council has the right idea. I've got relatives in the service; how about you? Watch for later announcements. Courtesy Dimit Bros.
