School News
on September 11,
moving with his
Monthalia where
for a number of
Wedding vows were solemn-
ized in Sts. Cyril and Metho-
dius’ Catholic Church spoken by
Miss Patricia Henkhaus and
Henry Pesek, at Nuptial Mass
Monday morning, June 10 at
9:30.
Parents of the couple are Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Henkhaus and
Mr. and Mrs. Rud. Pesek all of
Shiner.
The double ring ceremony
was performed by Rev. John J.
Hanacek. Mrs. F. M. Wagner,
organist, played traditional
wedding music and accompani-
ed the choir.
Gracing the altar were ar-
rangements of yellow glads
with added touches of greenery.
Given in marriage by her
father, the bride, lovely in sim-
plicity, wore a beautiful floor
length gown of peau de soie
which was iced with flower-
patterened re-embroidered Al-
encon lace, encrusted with
pearls at the portrait neckline,
on the bodice, and in grace-
ful sprays on the skirt. Un-
pressed pleats on the sides and
in the back gave the chapel
train a gentle bustle like shape.
An imported pearlized orange
blossom wreath held the three
tiered veil of illusion in place.
She carried a bouquet of yel-
low rosebuds with a white or-
chid and a Mother of Pearl
rosary, gift of the groom.
Maid of honor was Joan
Henkhaus, sister of the bride.
The school year was one that
was successful. There were sev-
en pupils that were eligible for
high school.
We are very grateful to the
parents of these children for
helping us to make the year
successful.
We hope the coming school
year will be a more successful
one. We ask the parents to in-
vest in their children, and to
take more interest in them.
Visit your schools, help them
to go forward, and to help the
teachers of your school to help
them. We hope to work together
as a team, for “where there is
unity, there is strength.”
Keep your children in school
—for the bottom of the latter is
crowded.
We are grateful to Mr. Robert
Sterling, former president of
the Shiner school board, for de-
livery the commencement ad-
dress. One of the high points
of his address was “To be suc-
cessful ,one must have the right
attitude toward life.”
To say a word about the Op-
eretta, “Hansel and Gretel,” if
you missed this performance,
you missed a treat. I think all
of the children were superb, but
little Acie Lonnie Williams was
excellent, for the person that
was to be the father of the play
took ill at the last moment, and
Acie Lonnie Williams took over
and performed excellently.
Mrs. Louise Jarmon, presi-
dent of the P-TA is to be com-
mended for her services ren-
dered this past school year. She
also expressed her desires to
continue the meetings through
the summer. Parents listen and
take heed to her call.

"What Is A Flag?"
Flags everywhere—on pub-
lic buildings—in private homes
—pictured in stores—fluttering
and billowing in the soft, sum-
mer breeze—flags everywhere
—American flags!
Passers-by^ on the busy
streets of the city, hurry on
their way, minds intent on their
own small affairs. They look
idly at the flags—but do they
really see them?
That oblong piece of cloth,
with its bright dyes, is the vis-
ible symbol of America today—
an America more precious,
more wonderful than ever be-
fore, because the gifts it has
given us are threatened, as
never before, with loss and
destruction! It is the brilliant
heart of America—the sign of
our inheritance—the presence
of all we hold most dear’.
The courage and strength of
the pioneers—the pathfinders
who met trial and hardship
; dauntlessly, in the days when
we were beginning to be a na-
. tion—are in the red of the
stripes!
; The high and stainless purity
i of mind and motive—the white-
• ness of the souls of great men—
, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson,
’ and many others, who strove
, selflessly to hold high their be-
liefs in the greatness of this
’ nation, and who dedicated their
lives to its service—are in the
white of its stripes!
’ The truth that will not stoop
. to lie—the integrity of the
principles that underlie our
commonwealth, the unshakable
faith and trust in God, that has
come down to us from those
long gone before, who have
held high the light, that we
might walk safely—are in the
blue of its field of stars!
And every one of those stars
shines with a new splendor of
meaning—the symbol of a free
people, living their lives in the
blessings of freedom—freedom
to worship God as they choose,
freedom to work, to laugh, to
love, to live—God’s most prec-
ious gift to man, to be guarded
