HAISH SCHOOL HAS MANY STARS

LARGE NUMBERS OF DE KALB'S MEN IN THE SERVICE WHERE STUDENTS IN ALL BRANCHES
 

Some of Boys Are Now in France, Others in the Navy, and Many Are in the New National Army
 

The Haish School is very proud over the fact that it can unfurl a service flag containing nearly 50 stars, should it see fit, as a list handed in today contains that many names of boys who were formerly students at the school, but are now in the service of Uncle Sam.

As will be seen by the list of names which follows, some of the former school pupils are in the navy, some in the regular army, and even others are commissioned officers serving in cantonments.
 

The list as prepared from the school roster follows:

Irving Peterson, Roy Jacobson, Arthur Goodison, Ashel Northrup, Wesley Jackson, Lloyd Shaffer, Harry Cone, Walter Jenkins, Wallace Jackson, Reuben Beckman, Paul Hubbard, Joe Neuman, Ned Cone, Martin Hamotz, Andrew Canning, Oscar Larson, Howard Nelson, Stanley Sutton, Thomas Sutton, Edward Chamberlain, Axel Johnston, Clyde Nolte, William Price, Glen Keiser, George Bennett, Herbert Bennett, Leo LeMoth, Glen McKenney, Carl Hallgren, Gideon Nelson, Bennie Vagle, Spencer Johnston, Vernon Boardman, Arthur Johnson, Martin Chase, Everett Hubbard, Vincent Fuller, Harry Horton, Percy Hannon, Clarence Quarnstrom, Walter Olson, Myer Neuman, Sydney Norman, Everett Hubbard (sic), William Price (sic). 
 

The name of Percy Terwilliger is also included in the list, who, it will be remembered, enlisted about two weeks ago and had planned on entering the tanks corps.  Shortly after his enlistment he was taken ill, and after two operations succumbed.  There will be a star for the well known young man regardless of the fact that he did not have the chance to get into active service.
