It's always nice when you find an article in the Crittenden Press that tells the history of a picture you have that you knew nothing about. Such happened to me with the one below.
The Crittenden Press, January 17, 1941
The large American flag that the Americanism committee of the American Legion Auxiliary of the Ellis B. Ordway post is giving to the Marion city schools was raised on Tuesday morning, January 21, following appropriate exercises which took place in the new high school gymnasium.
Music for the occasion was furnished by the Marion High school band.
The public was cordially invited to attend these services.

Little did they know that in 11 months that Pearl Harbor would be attacked and the beginning of World War II would begin.
