1 SCHOOL NOTES
McDonogh No. 4 Represented in
Patriotic Parade
McDonogh No. 4 School was rep
resented by twenty-one boys in Sat
urday's great patriotic Liberty Loan
parade. Despite the fact that the
rain was falling in torrents at the
time, these young citizens of Uncle
Sam's great and glorious domain,
assembled at the Canal St. Ferry
Landing at the appointed time and
proceeded across the river to the
place assigned to the schools before
the formation of the parade.
The rain still continued and there
followed a period of doubt as to
whether there could be a parade or
not. The Nation's motto. "In God
is Our Trust," seemed to be the
prayer of the people of the Crescent
City, and soon that prayer was an
swered. The clouds lifted, the rain
stopped, and the parade was formed.
The boys of No. 4, at a given sig
nal from Mr. E. Etier. took their as
signed place in the line and every
one of the number marched from
the beginning of the route to the
end. Cheer after cheer greeted
them as they marched through the
the streets.
The banner-bearer was John
Beninate and his aids were Sidney
Dupuis and Edgley Schrith. The
large white satin Red Cross banner
was donated and made by the tearh
ers of the school. The name of the
school and "100 per cent." were
suitably arranged on it, and it was
the prettiest standard carried by
any school.
This school bears the distinction
of being the only boys' school rep
resented and the only one from the
Fifth District.
These young Americans feel proud
that they "did their bit" towards
helping their city go "over the top"
in this patriotic undertaking, and
they will always remember the part
they played during this stirring war
time.
Mrs. M. Hopper and Miss L. E.
Averill accompanied the delegation.
The boys were: John Beninate.
Sidney Dupuis, Edgley Bchroth,
Gerald Cooper, Evans Mahoney, Mel
ford Pitre, -Reany Angelo. Walter
Pope, John Forrest, John Leonard,
Joseph Folse, John Cleutat, James
Curren, Morris Laufer, Charles
Beninate, Hilary Schroder, John

school marched with the Boy Beouts,

MAY ETI. S. UTTOIiS
In response to his querry to Sen
ator Itansdeil, Mayor Behrman
M.unday morning was advised that
young men who volunteered their
services to the country and were re
jected for physical disability and
other causes beyond their control
would possibly, in the near future,
be awarded buttons showing their
status.
Since the declaration of war
.Mayor BAlirman has received nu
merous requests from young men to
ascertain if some Insignia would
not be given them to show that they
had attempted to volunteer and had
been rejected. The Mayor wrote
Senator Itansdell. who took the
question up with Adjutant General
Met'ain.
According to the Adjutant Gen
eral., an act was introduced into the
United States Senate to provide such
a button, and was passed by the
Senate Feb. 5, 1918. The act was
introduced into the House of Repre
sentatives Feb. 7. and If it is adopt
ed there, the buttons will be issued.
