A timely presentation of American flags to classrooms of Cook and Columbus Grade schools in McMinnville is made by members of the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary. Presented during assemblies at each school Friday morning, the flags commemorate American Education Week and Veterans Day.

At right, Rev. Osborne and Mrs. Swift place a flag in a bracket in a classroom at Columbus School. Watching are Joyce Nicoll, Ronny Lane, Diana Mathiesen and Vance Severson.
As gifts from the Legion and Auxiliary, the flags will serve as a constant reminder of the significance of American education and the service who have made it possible.
