On May 28, 1926, the Girls Club at Stadium High School unveiled a commemorative bronze tablet at the entrance to their school. The plaque contained the names of the eleven Stadium High School boys who died in World War I and an explanation of the trees planted in their memory at the school in 1919. Bearing roses are Ellis Ayr Smith, left, and Louise Phelps. After the unveiling of the marker, the girls placed the roses at the bases of two of the trees. (TNT 5/28/1926, pg. 17) BU-11,376, BGN 444
