JUNE 14 FLAG DAY

JUNE 14 FLAG DAY
By Barbara Dailey
On June 14, Americans celebrate the adoption of the first national flag. Also known as the ―Stars and Stripes‖ or ―Old
Glory‖, the first American flag was approved by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. The resolution
adopted stated that the flag of the United States shall be of thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, with a union of
thirteen stars of white in a blue field, representing the new constellation. A flag of this design was first carried into battle
on September 11, 1777, in the battle of the Brandywine. It is believed that the red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white
symbolizes purity and innocence, while blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice. After 5 more states joined
the Union in 1818, Congress passed legislation fixing the number of stripes at 13 and requiring that the number of stars
equal the number of states.
Flag Day – the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 – was officially established by the Proclamation of President
Woodrow Wilson on May 30 th , 1916. Then President Coolidge in 1927 issued a Proclamation asking for June 14 to be
observed as the National Flag Day. It was not until August 3, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress
designating June 14 th of each year as National Flag Day.
When and How to Display the U.S. Flag: The United States Flag Code stipulates that as the symbol of a living country,
the flag is considered in itself a living thing and should be properly displayed and cared for. The code outlines the proper
way to display the American flag.
Raise the flag briskly. Lower it ceremoniously.
Never allow the flag to touch the ground or floor.
Do not fly the flag in bad weather, unless it is an all-weather flag.
The flag can only be flown at night if properly illuminated. Otherwise, it should only be flown from sunrise to
sunset.
The flag should always be allowed to fall free.
The flag should never be used to carry, store, or deliver anything.
Never fly the flag upside down except to signal an emergency.
Care should be taken not to let the flag get torn, dirty, or damaged.
Do you know the flag code for displaying the American flag in a parade?
When the flag is carried in procession with other flags, it should be either on the right of the line of flags, or in
front of the center of the line.
On floats, the flag should be displayed on a staff.
The flag should not be draped over a car, train, or boat. When displayed with a car, the flag’s staff should be
attached to the right fender, or the chassis.
The American flag should be held upright and should not be dipped to any person or thing.
The flag code states that when a flag is no longer a fitting emblem for display it should be destroyed in a dignified way,
preferably by burning. Since 1937, the American Legion has promoted the use of a public flag disposal ceremony. This
ceremony is a fitting tribute and an overt expression of patriotism, which enhances the public’s understanding of honor
and respect due the American flag. In addition, the code covers displaying the flag at ceremonies, inside a building,
government buildings inside and outside, decorative purposes, and flag maintenance.
Information for this article was taken from various internet sites.

2014 ALUMNI BANQUET
By Marjorie Lewis
The Lebo High Alumni meeting and banquet was held May 24 th in the school gym. The dinner was prepared and served by the class of
2016, Trease Gould, sponsor, and parents to 145 alumni and guests.
Marjorie Lewis was the emcee for the evening. Garrett VanArsdale sang ―The Star Spangled Banner‖, and Peter Alllegre gave the
invocation.
R. D. Linsey welcomed the 2014 graduates and Allison Linsey gave the response. Shelby Holmes introduced the Class of 2014. Sara
Lewis presented the 2014 Alumni Scholarship to Brent Walford. Oneta Lane recognized the 2014 American Legion Auxiliary scholarship
winners: Codie Carson, Matt Miller, Shelby Holmes, and Meribah Truelove.
Glenn Dale Miller, a 1937 graduate, was honored for his perfect attendance record. He attended 12 years of school
without missing a single day. Galen Miller, son of Glenn Dale, paid a tribute to his dad. Yvonne Glenn, daughter, was
also present. Two other living members of the 1937 class, Anna Louise Lewis Jones Wiley and Jane Siebuhr were
unable to attend.
Classes holding reunions and their spokespersons were: 1954 – Rose Roberts Sill; 1964 – Lynn Benton;
1969 – Jay George; 1979 – Terry Small Schlange; 1999 – Betsy Love Poland; and 2004 – Amanda Hopkins
The class of 1939 graduated 75 years ago. In their memory, everyone sang ―Over the Rainbow‖ which was sang in the
1939 movie ―Wizard of Oz‖. Song leaders were Shirley Williams Thomas, Ann Davis Thoms, and Garrett VanArsdale. A
tribute was read by Dr. Jim Barnett, a nephew of Harold ―Skinny‖ Spatz who was a member of the class of 1939. Spatz
is remembered for his participation in the 1942 Doolittle Raid over Tokyo. Dr. Barnett’s mother, Reba Jean Spatz
Barnett, is ―Skinny’s‖ sister. Phil George of Lebo, Dale Rice of Topeka, and Jack Long, Overland Park, are the remaining
living members of this class. Phil George shared with the audience a few stories. Sara Lewis read a poem that Dale
Rice had written for the 50 th reunion of the 1939 class.

Ron Standiferd from Albuquerque, N.M. received a red rose as he traveled the farthest.
Garrett VanArsdale played a piano solo while we had a moment of silence remembering our alumni who were looking

The summer is here and it’s time for outdoor
fun! When I think of summer, I think of the
times I spent with my family at the lake. Fishing,
swimming and camping were the activities that
the Frye boys couldn’t get enough of in the
summer. We fished all the creeks, ponds,
sloughs and waterholes that we could find, but
going out to the lake meant there would also be
campfires, marshmallows and hotdogs. Since
Father’s Day falls in June, think about taking a
few days this month to spend some time with
the family just making memories outdoors. If
you spend it on the lake at the swimming hole
or fishing or camping, those memories will last
forever.
My Dad was, and is, a fisherman. He is a year
round fisherman, but I know he’d rather fish
during good weather than bad. During the
colder months he catches a freezer full of
crappie, but catfish is his warm weather catch.
When we were at the lake in the summer, he’d
wade out into the mudflats at John Redmond
and fish all day and night for the big ones. He
had the smelliest, most raunchy bait he could
find or a 5-gallon bucket of sodworms. We’d dig
them for hours on Friday so they were nice and
sturdy for the weekend. Dad usually finished
the weekend with 2 or 3 huge flathead catfish
that weighed more than 30 lbs. Darn good
eatin’ too!
I like to yak and write about being in the
outdoors, but I try to spend as much time as
possible introducing my girls and grandkids to
outdoor activities that can make the memories I
mentioned earlier. I had my grandson helping
me build a fence around my garden last week,
and I know that that day of work and sweat will
be a memory he will remember. It may not be
the prettiest fence, but having him help put it up
makes it pretty good! After putting up the fence,
Jewell and Ashton helped plant the tomatoes
and peppers we bought and I know they’ll be
excited to pick them later this summer. We plan
to take the camper out, we plan to fish and I’ll
teach them how to build campfires before the
summer is done.
I hope your summer is filled with memories
that you and your family can cherish. I hope
your stringers are full and the campfires are
bright. Be safe and have fun!

FATHER’S DAY
In June of every year, we honor fathers. The first Mother's Day was celebrated
in 1914, but a holiday honoring fathers did not become official until 1966,
when President Lyndon Johnson declared that the third Sunday in June would
be Father's Day. President Richard Nixon made this proclamation permanent in
1972. But this doesn't mean that the holiday was not celebrated before this
time.
The idea for Father's Day is attributed to Sonora Dodd, who was raised by her
father after her mother's death during childbirth. While listening to a sermon at
church on Mother's Day, she thought about all her father had done for her and
her siblings and decided fathers should have a day, too. Because Dodd's father
was born in June, she encouraged churches in her area, Spokane, Wash., to
honor fathers that month. The first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane in
1910.
Over the years, the idea spread, and people lobbied Congress to establish the
holiday. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson, who had signed a proclamation
establishing Mother's Day, approved the idea, but never signed a proclamation
for it. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish
more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon
fathers the full measure of their obligations."

Father’s Day related
story…..It’s MONEY!
I want to thank Dustin of rural Emporia
for bringing to my attention a story he
found while searching the Internet. The
particular site asked the users if they had
ever found or lost anything while
hunting. One fellow had a high octane
bird dog; a pointer that really covered the
ground. The hunter had crossed through
a fence and then made a wide circle
through a section of grassland. At the
end of the field, he saw his dog coming
around with something in her mouth. As
the dog retrieved her prize to hand, the
hunter realized she was bringing him a
transmitter for an electronic training
collar. The transmitter was his and it must
have dropped from his hunting vest while
crossing the fence some distance back.
With a chuckle, he looked down at what
must be the dumbest dog in the world,
but patted and praised her for being such
an honest dog and saving him a couple of
hundred bucks.
Things we find or lose while hunting? I
know some hunters who left their guns
on the ground, next to a tree or on the
trunk of the car when they drove away.
Wifeus lost her turkey call and has even
tried to lose me a time or two!
My daughters and I found an old
Kansas 1941 license tag while out
chasing the dogs. It was just what I needed
to help me with a prank I played on my
father many years ago.
Oh, the tricks I use to play on my dear
old Dad. He deserved most of them in
retribution for the things he played on
me. What a delight it was to be able to
put something over on one another!
Pa favored a bargain and really
cherished anything he could get free.
Many times we would go to the dump
when it was legal and bring back just as
many ―valuable things‖ as we took. Our
garage was full of items Pop thought
were antique and would someday rain
riches on our family!
He was a hard worker, sometimes working
two jobs. He was an outdoors person, loved
to hunt and fish, always had a bird dog
around, kept a nice garden and, though
short of money, was always content with
life. I guess growing up in the 1920’s, being
one of 12 kids and a soldier in WWII would
have a bearing on molding this man. As a
family, we made do.
When Pop got to retirement age, it just
seemed natural a metal detector would be
a wonderful gift for him. My sister and I
pooled our money and got him a top of the
line, latest in technology, White Metal
Detector. Our only problem, even after
reading the manual, was none of us could
really figure out all its functions and how to
make the dang thing work.
Dad tinkered with it some, but most of the
detecting was left to Wifeus and me. We
spent many hours down at the lake doing
just that. Of course I had to do all my own
finding and digging, but Dad would follow
Wifeus everywhere and go to digging at the
faintest beep. One particular afternoon
there were so many holes in the lot, it
looked like gophers had invaded!
My plan was to bury a mayonnaise jar of
coins the kids and I had saved and for Dad
to find it--bury it up by the old outhouse,
cover it with dirt and put the license tag we
had found on top. We buried the jar and
allowed time to let the earth settle, but
before we could trick Dad into discovering
the ―hidden treasure‖ with the detector, he
had put a bunch of used windows over the
buried coins; no doubt something he
acquired from the dump.
Winter passed. When we opened the
Cabin the next spring, we found there was
some rodent damage. Pop was fit to be
tied.
Don’t you just love it when such a
dastardly plan comes together? I told Dad I
had seen some kind of critter run under the
windows by the old outhouse and bet we
could catch it if the windows were stored
somewhere else. They were gone by
nightfall.
I get a chuckle every time I think of
this. The next day, Wifeus and kids had
Dad in tow, off metal detecting. They go up
to the old Johnny and the detector goes off
like someone just won a casino’s
jackpot. Pop goes to digging and is
disappointed because all he found was the
license plate. I was there to remind him
that the metal detector user’s manual said
old
outhouses were prime locations to look
for coins and sometimes valuables were
marked by license plates. Wifeus ran
the detector’s dish over the area again
and it chimes out just as loud as it did
the first time. With added vigor, Dad
starts digging with his long-bladed knife
and, upon finding the jar of coins, goes to
hollering, ―It’s money, it’s money!‖
I respect my father too much, rest his
soul, to repeat what he said when he
looked around and found me on the
ground holding my stomach, rolling with
laughter. He knew the hook had been
set. The ball was now in his court and it
was my turn to beware.
WHAT MAKES A DAD
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was
complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
