High School Boy Shimmies Up 75-Foot Pole to Hang Flag, Nov. 11, 1921

School Boys Patriotic

The High School boys, under the supervision of Miss Tyner, equipped the high flag pole at the school with a new rope and raised a beautiful, large American flag on Tuesday last. To put the new rope it was necessary for one of the boys to climb the pole to the top and place the rope through the small pulley wheel, 75 feet from the ground. This was a rather hazardous undertaking but one of the boys scaled the pole with ease. The High School boys, so Miss Tyner states, are the best in the world and “can do anything.”
