The one hundred and twenty-fourth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln was observed throughout the Red Lodge city schools with fitting exercises on Friday and Monday. Dramatization, special readings and singing of patriotic songs featured the occasion. While formal study of the lives of our great leaders and patriots is carried out in history classes, special programs by the pupils serves to emphasize the debt of youth to Americans "who bore the heat and burden when our country was in the making."
In the Lincoln school, first year pupils gave the flag salute, sang the first stanza of "America," heard a story by their teacher and participated in a class dramatization of Soldier Boy. The other grades also heard readings and songs and took part in picture study.
In the first and second grades at Field school the usual songs and salutes were interspersed with poems by Bobby Moran, Howard Cartwright; stories by Norma Lee Newman, Peggy Gutru, Tommy Bakkarinen, Donald Lane. The third grade witnessed a short play "LuLi Learns of Lincoln" in which Ruth Cassidy played the role of LuLi, a Chinese girl; Mary Alice Hickson, Mona Mann, Mary Doty, Schmidt, Darleen Crook, Joyce Margaret Wilson, Audrey Heitala.
