But, oh, that banner waving So high, and gay, and free To me it is a symbol Of freedom dearly bought, A hope by fond hearts treasured, A way of life and thought. My heart is in those colors. Their ripples thrill my soul. In God's clear air and sunlight, Means more than that to mel They lead a happy people To some God-given goal. -Clarence Edwin Flynn May the God We trust as a nation Throw the light of His peace and grace On a flag with its stripes untarnished, And with every star in place. --Iohn Clair Minot White for purity, red for valor, blue for justice in the flag of our country, to be cherished by all our hearts, to be upheld by all our hands. --Charles Sumner Throughout the history of mankind symbols have exerted an impelling influence upon the lives of men.

Kane, M. A. The V-of Victory tells us of the VICES which cause war. Our con- cern is VIRTUE, through which war will be no more. Hate has no place in the hearts ot men. W'hen we begin to LOVE God and man We are on the way to Victory. is tor INTELLIGENCE, that distinguished gift ot man. It makes a beastly body akin to an angel: it respects the dignity of the human being and leads man to God. It is nothing more than straight thinking - let's use it to Win. C - HCONSCIENCE doth make cowards oi us all - a bad conscience. How stands the national conscience? Yours and mine' -the conscience of all Americans-is the national conscience. Bad conscience makes cowards and cowards do not attain Victory. V Y I R C O T Pontius Pilate asked of the Son of God, What is TRUTH? Iesus answered I AM THE TRUTH. Yes and TRUTH must be the keystone of Victory. By a strange linguistic coincidence Veritas-Truth, and Victoria--Victory, both begin with a V. stands for ORDER, given or taken, it's heaven's first law. The boys at Bataan knew order and they followed it, even though they were expendable . Victcry is the effect of peace and peace is tranquillity of order . Relation of man to God constitutes REAL RELIGION. If you have one, use it lest you lose it, as did 87,000,000 other so-called Americans. We could pray Hitler out of the War, but it would be better to put ourselves on God's side and drive that evil man out of it. When your knees begin to shake, kneel on them. What could the Y mean but YOU YOUTH WHO MUST WIN!

We have received not only our academic train- ing, but have been prepared to a certain extent, for choosing vocations. Our school provides and pro- motes extensive recreational tacilities. While gain- ing an education we progressed from incapable greenies to competent Seniors. lt We gain all from our education, We cannot help but advance until We enlarge our perspectives and broaden our knowledge so that we may be able to take our places in this turbulent World. This year's issue is a little different H- do you think you will like it? 'VVe've reviewed our years through pictures, captions and copy.

The publishing of a year book for Conynham Township High School was first suggested by Mr. Miles Kostenbauder, beloved and repected adviser of the class of lQ28. This outstanding educator taught manual training, and coached the football and basketball teams ot Conyngham Township High School. Mr. Kostenbauder and Mr. Clarence Tilmont, then a member of the Class of l928, sacrificed much time in order to make the first annual of C. T. H. S. a success. Miss Gotshall gave her assistance in the writing and correction of the articles in the book. Many appropriate names for a school annual were submitted to the class of '28, but the name IRIS was chosen for several reasons. The Latin word IRIS means something bright as the rainbow -4 easily to be remembered. ln ancient days Iris was thought to be the carrier of messages between the gods and mortals so our lris has been both -- a book cherished in our memories, and it has always been a messenger bearing a record of what we are doing in our beloved High School, to all friends who may read it. Thanks to the class of 1928, and its worthy adviser. k'k1lr'k'k'k NOTPEACEATANYPRICE i'k'k1 BOARDS EDUCATION OF Conynqham Township Standing: Lawrence Weller, George Keller, President.

Thov are really the Conynqhaiii Township School Board and the Union Township School Board. Many ot us do not realize that they are indirectly the baclcoorie of our educational trends here. Under the supervision ot Mr. Georae Keller and Mi. Harvey Stautter they meet monthly in their respective districts to discuss school prohlerns from a community standpoint. Durina our tour years at Conynahani l-liqh they have been our guiding light and have shown us the undivided path, which we hope to follow in liittiro years. To those spirited groups wo extend our sincere thanks and appreciation. kit BUT VICTORY AT ANY COST t -k 'kit Qur Alma Mater The bugle of life calls to men, Who must the battle now begin!

We go to prove Ourselves are worthy of thy lovel And when in distant years we turn Our footsteps where thine altars burn Still true to honor and to thee We'll pledge undying fealty! A louder summons now doth swell, Hail to thee, mother, and farewell! Thou poilztest proudly to the field -- 4 Return upon, or with thy shield!

Reilley, Super- vising Principal of Conyngham Township Schools. The organization of the local sugar and gas rationing is just a small part of his work in the war effort. l-le feels that without the full cooperation of every man, woman, and child in the dis- trict we cannot expect to win this war. His duties are not centralized. His work often takes him to Bloomsburg, where he confers with other representatives of the Office of Civilian Defense program in Columbia County. Not neglecting the schools, he's always Willing to lend a help- ing hand and to contribute his share to- ward our common goal. The graduating class has a vote of thanks to extend to him for helping us as we progressed through our four years of high school.

How they clamor tor it! How they criticize! How they compare it with all the annuals they have seen and say that the cover is better and the stories worse: that the Senior pictures are perfectly splendid and the write-ups are terrible. But the all important - they alway like it. This year's editor-in-chief, Dorothy Rupert, and the faculty adviser, Miss Gotshall, worked long and hard on the problems which always arise in the publication ot a year book. Larry Weller, assisted by Adviser, Mr. I-lunsicker, capably handled the job as business manager. Each editor was responsible for his or her particular write-ups . The artistic features were taken care ot by Mr. Weller and Miss Horan. They snapped the shutters that caught the various scenes of activity around the alma mater. , Every effort has been put forth to make this book a record of another successful year at C. T. H. S. The staff hopes it has accomplished this purpose.

Today, the world knows the poetry of Shakespeare, the music of Wagner, the art of Rembrandt, but who knows even the names of the money barons of their day -- or cares to know? lf you Want your name to live after you, you'll not give all your thought to money.

Soon we, the l943 class, will have placed in our hands the diploma, cherished symbol of high school life. VV'hen we receive that diploma, the sudden realization that our high school career has come to an abrupt end will sweep over us. Memories will flash before our eyes, memories of history, mathematics and other classes and subjects necessary to reach our educa- tional goal. The social side of our school life will also be cherished. Memories of parties, picnics, roller skating, and dances will linger with us. Remembrances of athletic prowess, dramatic ability, musical talent and distinction in the field of speech will be cherished thoughts in years to come. We are not unmindful of all the teachers who have so willingly guided us these four years. Under the leadership ot Miss Gotshall and Mr. Hunsinger, our class advisers, we feel that we have attained a glorious ending to our four year high school career. Robert Cutie Wetzel, as president, has guided our class through the four years - a distinction seldom given to one and the same person. As teachers, advisers and friends, Miss Gotshall and Mr. Hunsinger have never failed the class as a whole or as individuals. To them the Senior Class extends a heartfelt Thank You . r-kit WEAREGOINGTOPASSITON. ttttii THEN The Class Top Row: Fred Gebhart. Leo Palewicz. James Reilley. Robert Cress. Martin Barlow.

The reception given us by Mr. Rellley and Mr. Kostenbauder dispelled all fears and we were given per- mission to house our planes for a year. The boys were directed to Room 10, with Mr. Linetty as homeroom directory and the girls to Room 6, under the guidance of Mrs. Martz. We had no common pilot for the two groups, therefore on September l5, we met in Room i0 and elected Robert Wetzel, pilot: lohn Stibitz, co-pilot: Romayne Shoup, steward- essg and Larry Weller, treasurer of the combined groups of passengers. Mr. Kostenbauder superintended this election of officers and he also suggested that we elect protectors , as Freshmanburg would be full of trials and tribulations. We were glad for his advice and chose Miss Gotshall and Mr. Hunsinger as our defenders. Cn October 27, a skating party at the Midway. On this memorable occasion kids had a chance to have a fling. Cn lune 7, l940, we left Freshmanburg for new adventures in Sophomoreville . SECOND LANDING On September 3, l94U, we were again summoned to C. T. H. S. This time we housed our planes in Sophornoreville with Miss Kilker and Mr. McDonald as home room pilots. On October lil, l9-10, Mr. Kostenbauder announced a meeting of all classes to be held to elect officers and advisers. The same officers and advisers were selected to guide us through Sophomoreville . We found Sophomoreville filled with many adventures and requirements, yet we were given some leisure time. Our first social event was a skating party at the Midway , This was a success both financially and socially. We sponsored a sauerkraut dinner and a vegetable dinner. Both were successful as to taste and finances. On lune 7, 1941, we once again boarded our planes and flew on to new adventures and problems in luniortown .

THIRD LANDING On September 24, 1941, we were again summoned to C. T. H. S. This time we housed our planes in Iuniortown , with Mrs. Martz and Mr. McDonald as home room pilots. On October 10, 1941, our flight commander, Mr. Russell Kostenbauder, ordered a meet- ing of all classes to elect officers and advisers for 1941-42. We chose the same officers and advisers, who so successfully guided us through Sophomoreville . Our first social event was a card party, held November 6, 1941, in the C. T. H. S. audi- torium. This proved a success. At Christmas time members of the crew exchanged gifts and they enjoyed a very pleasant and cheerful Christmas vacation. We selected our class rings during our stay in Sophomoreville in order lo avoid paying an advanced price and an extra tax in luniortown and we received them early in Sept- ember. THE END OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL IOURNEY On September 5, 1942, We were again summoned to C. T. H. S. for our final year. This year We housed our planes in Seniortown , with Miss McDonnell and Mr. Hunsinger as home room pilots. On October 10, 1942, our flight commander, Mr. Kostenbauder, ordered a meeting of all classes to elect class officers. We chose the same officers and advisers who had brought us through luniortown . Also at this meeting we chose our class colors: Bed, White, and Blue, and our Class Motto: Victory is Our Goal . When roll call was taken the following members were found missing: Romayne Shoup, Luther Swank, Genevieve Tierney, Robert Payne, Annetta Minnier, Betty White, Mary Sweet, Martin Barlow, Lewis Tersavage, Leonard Hoffman, Emma Wesner, and Robert Hampton. Several talented girls of the class presented Polly Put the Kettle On , a One Act Play. Moonset , a drama of the present world conflict, was presented by the boys. Both plays displayed remarkable talent and supervision. We hope that as we leave Seniortown we can look ahead to brighter days, not only for ourselves, but for the world as a whole and that Victory in the near future will result in a restoration of peace and happiness on earth. With these wishes we set out, without any pilot, on the long journey through life by bidding our Alma Mater a sad farewell. Senior Class Officers President ..... . . .

He explained that he was permitted to return to earth at times of great crises and since World War ll is global, his powers were unlimited, since he brought hope to mankind. He then informed us that his powers of sorcery were still intact. We were eagerly desirous to know our future, so he gazed into space for several minutes and then conjured up a composite scene in which the members of the illustrious Class of 1943 were winning new victories daily. On a landing field in New York, Harry Maurer is taking off in his large transport plane, Fire Fighter . Dependable Anna Curran is his lovely air hostess. lack Stibitz is on a secret mission in the 'llV9Sl Indies.

' .fksminuwk-:dk ff if if f IN VICTBRYIWE WILL ALL HAVE A-IZIAND f f f ff CLASS WILL As I set myself to the task of preparing a Will for the Class of 1943, I am impressed with the idea that the class has nothing of material nature to will to anyone. On the contrary our generation has been willed the privilege of living the free way of life. This freedom has been willed from generation to generation through the eons of time and we are going to pass it on. We are now in the eleventh year since the accession of Adolph Hitler to power as Chancellor of Germany. Many have hopes that this will be the last year. There can be no assurance that this power built up during a decade can be broken up within this year, but hope for it is justified. We can not lose this freedom. It must be passed on and we, as a class WILL OURSELVES to the services of our beloved country. True to custom we do have a few bequests to make: To our Alma Mater, we pledge our faith and loyalty. To the School Board, our sincere gratitude. To Mr. Iohn I. Reilley, our gratitude for his thoughtful guidance through the twelve years under his supervision. To Mr. Russell Kostenbauder, our appreciation for his interest and services to the Class of '43. , To Miss Mercy E. Gotshall and Mr. Elton Hunsinger, our love and gratitude for their cherished leadership in compiling The Iris, and as friends during our four years. To the Faculty, our grateful hearts for their sympathy and deep under- standing of the ways of youth, as they imparted knowledge to us. To the Iuniors, Room ll, and our present opportunities to reach out and grasp ready jobs waiting for them. To the Sophomores we give recognition to the friendly feeling expressed in many ways, to our class. To the Freshmen, our best wishes that they may grow up into dignified Seniors by 1946, ready to serve their country. The individual bequests to the Iuniors are as follows: To Cecelia Zinda, Fern Keller, Lucille Parker, Mildred Miller and Helen Polifka we give the interest and zeal of Edna Hinderliter, Lilly Beaver and Anna Curran, in knitting sweaters in the interest of the Red Cross for the soldiers. To Betty Fennessy, Helen Hinderliter, Martha Briggs, Ruth Hoffman and Lillian Scocik, - Alice Bhoades, Carrie George, Marie Patterson and Blanche I-44444 WEAWILLWORKFORVICTORY 4444 Kelmalis, bequeath their sincere Wishes that they may take up some phase of work next year, whereby they may assist in the War effort. To George I-Ierko, Frank Linetty, Elsworth Levan, Robert Rishar and Richard Lesser, We bequeath the enthusiasm when speaking of the war, of Robert Wetzel, Leo Palewicz, Lester lones, Charles Longer and William Shearn. To Anna Zinkiewicz, Lucetta Friday, Helen Williams, Derrella Walters, Gertrude Kreischer, Faye Hoffman and Alice Friday, We hope they Will accept the spirit and faith of Mabel Minnier, Dorothy Rupert, Lorraine Helwig, Agnes Petrovich and Dorothy Thompson, that America and the Allies will win com- plete victory, if each will do her bit. To the other members of the Iunior Class, the remaining members of the Senior Class will the desire to hold on to faith in one another, the pleasure of friendship, the desire to learn and a hatred for that which is Wrong, and thus gain complete victory for freedom for the Whole World. lSignedl CLASS OF '43 Witnessed by: Marie Stibitz Leona Burkevage I uswmx. it 1' nm , f 'YESYL :Y Au-0' 2' V V ' y X WW..- 4 f f 'pr' 'n'z::f ' ' nv- wwf- ' 'Jeff- , A L Jew.- ' G1 k-kt-A' AMERICANS.ALLFORVICTORY 'Amt-kt-ki LJ wwf- .

WE SHOULD KNOW The lunior Class At the beginning oi our Iunior year we held a meeting for the purpose of electing a new advisor to take the place of Mr. Linetty, who was called to active service in the armed forces of our beloved country. Mr. Beaver was elected to fill the vacancy and We regret very much that he will be our adviser for a short time only as he, too, has been called to the service. It is with regret, but very great pride, that We see them go. We seem to be the favored class in furnishing' officers for the United States Army. With unanimous consent all class officers were re-elected for the 1942-43 term. We received our class rings September lO, 1942. We are pardonably proud of them, as they are very beautiful. , Our first activity of the term was a Hallowe'en party, held October 30. - Later in the year we held a sale of pencils and emblems. The emblems were blue, with the township initials in gold. They were quickly disposed of with profit to the class. Due to transportation regulations, the class decided to conduct, in each community rep- resented in the class, an activity for which the pupils of that community would be respon- sible. Locust Dale started the activities with a very successful dance held in the Fire House, November 30. .. December 16, a very impressive and well-presented play, portraying the birth of the Holy Infant, was presented and was another successful activity of our class. . The members of the class residing in Wilburton 45:2 sponsored the chancing off of a silk quilt Ianuary 15. This proved to be the banner f'money maker of the term. A snow dance, sponsored by pupils of Ringtown and, Aristes, was .held in the American Legion Hall, Centralia, March l. lt was largely- attended and everyone had a swell time. We are eagerly looking forward to the last -lap of our high school career as we antici- pate the many enjoyable activities and experiences. The Iunior Class extends congratulations to the class of '43 with the sincere wish that all your dreams come true. -Rita Omlor ' Lorraine' Klischer Y.,..v V-Olive Rumbel, Wayne Hofl'man,.

Our class had just completed an interesting and exciting trip through the Land of Fresh- man and all were anxious to start through Sophomoreland . At our first class meeting held September ll, we elected Mrs. Martha B. Martz to replace Miss Kilker as our class adviser. Miss Kilker has accepted a position at the Butler Township High School. At this meeting We also elected the following class officers: President ................ john Linetty Secretary .............. Dorothy Stibitz Vice President ............ Lynn Keller Treasurer ............... Steve Yakup Our class sponsored a very successful Masquerade Party, which Was held in the 'high school auditorium on October 29. All present participated in the Halloween games. Music for dancing was furnished by several high school students. A, On December 14, a Snow Dance Was held in Locust Dale and those privileged to attend were delighted with the beautiful decorations and splendid entertainment. On December 23, the class held a Christmas party in the Study Hall. We exchanged gifts and each one Was pleased with his gift. Later in the term We chanced off a War Bond and Defense Stamps. Much credit for the success of these social activities must be given to Mrs. Martha B. Martz and Mr. Clarence Tilmont for their invaluable aid and friendly advice. Many Sophomore girls were Volunteer Workers for the American Bed Cross Roll Call. We joined the Red Cross as a class and are proud of the two window stickers that are now on our home room Windows. Our class is very much interested in Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, the Glee Club, the Dramatic Club, the Press Club, and the Band. We realize that in the two remaining years of high school life We will have many trials and disappointments as those near and dear to us are making sacrifices so that World War ll will end in Victory for us. Ever mindful of the privileges and freedom We now enjoy we will continue to study and march on to Victory - Graduation. -Mary Martinez . J ,lu-. :Z , 1' Iflsilf fi.: H H '77, fad . 529.

WE WANT TO KNOW The Freshman Class On September 9, 1942, fifty-nine eager boys and girls entered Conyngham Township High School as members of the Freshman Class. Our first important duty as a class was to elect class advisers and we chose Miss Heffner and Mr. Vlfeller to serve in this capacity. At our first meeting we elected the following class officers: President ..... . . Robert Knittle Secretary . . ....... Kent Weller Vice President ......... Iohn Lesser Treasurer .. Margaret Fennessy During the year Barbara Bradley and William Payne moved from our school district, but We welcomed Marie Marrare and Ioseph Marrare as new members. Several girls were Volunteer Workers for the Annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross. Our class joined the Red Cross and are glad to belong to this worth-while organization. As our contribution to the War Effort, we individually aided our government by sal- vaging old stockings, fats, tin cans, and scrap metal. All members of our class took an active part in the various organizations of the school and among them we will find future leaders of sports, dramatics, music, and journalism. -Mary Lou Donahue Ioan McDonald CARRY ON CARRY ON! Life's greatest command. At the front, no matter the odds. Among the whirring wheels of industry. Behind the plow. In the home. On the sickbed. Carry on! In the schools, despite teacher shortage, over-crowded classes, transporta- tion difficulties. Carry on! The long arm of necessity reaches out and whisks off our older boys and girls. There's work to be done. I-'ill in the ranks, you youngsters coming up! Carry on! Darker days are bound to come. Much bad news must come from across the seas before the final grand good news.

This was the audible proof that the Band was striving to give its energy and talents for C. T. H. S. With the opening of the school year many new recruits were added to the Band and after several weeks of headaches became proficient enough to attend the regular Band rehearsals. The progress of the Band has been hampered by the withdrawal of pupils from the school, and moving to other localities, but all in all We feel that the Band has shown great improvement this year. Girls' Glee Club The 1942-43 season was a continued success for the Girls' Glee Club. Under the faithful guidance and direct supervision of Miss Cecelia Brennan, the girls have learned to reach the high notes as Well as the low ones, when it come to singing three part harmonies. In order to benefit by singing, the members were taught to sing many styles of group singing. To gain a knowledge of music, the Glee Club will continue in hope that all undergraduates will interest themselves, not only for their own pleasure, but to bring happiness to many others. -A' uk -A' SACRIFICE.

A,Good American is a good citizen. A Good American believes in freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion - exercised with due regard for the rights ot others and the good of all. A Good American believes in fair play -- in being a good sport - he does not stoop to sharp practices nor hypocrisy. A Good American practices the Golden Rule instead of worshipping the Golden Calf. A Good American recognizes his responsibility to take a sincere interest in community problems and public atfairsg that his own welfare depends finally upon the Welfare of others. A Good American votes - he places his country's welfare ahead of mere personal attachments. He favors sound principles and the candidate best- fitted by character and ability to faithfully seek the greatest good for the great- . est number. . America can never be safe from the dangers ot hyprocrisy and stealth - Within, nor from propaganda and aggression from Without, UNLESS and UNTIL WE ALL BECOME GOOD AMERICANS.

Be thankful to your teachers as to your own parents. Consecrate every day by one good useful deed and kindness. Honor all honest peoplep esteem men, but humble yourself before no man. Suppress all hatred and beware of insulting your neighbor: be not revenge- ful but protect your own rights and those of others. Love justice and bear pain and misfortune courageously. Observe carefully and reflect Well in order to get at the truth. Deceive not yourself or others and beware of lying, for lies destroy the heart, the soul, and the character. Suppress passions and radiate love and peace. Consider that animals also have a right to your sympathy and do not harm them or tease. ' Think that all good is the result of workp he who enjoys without working is stealing bread from the mouth of the worker. Call no man a patriot who hates or has contempt for other nations, or who wishes and approves Wars. War is the remains of barbarism. Love your country and your nation, but be co-workers in the high task that shall make all men live together like brothers in peace and happi- ness.

The World is Waiting for us now, They're calling us out there. We're leaving now the carefree days, The happy golden hours, Of youthful mirth, and fellowship, No other years can hold, For joy does not repeat itselfp No more school days like ours. We each one goes his Way today: Our history has been told. But honest pride in what we've done Makes grief at parting less, For ioyfully we look upon The record we have made. The class We loved and honored much We placed above the rest, And not a one of us regrets The price that he has paid. Classmates, should I pause to tell you Of your deeds both great and small I could never do them justice For your records are too long. You've given here your loyalty, Your talent, love and all. I would that I could make of it A brave and lovely song. Song that many other classes, Which in the future time, Shall strive and toil, and rise and fall As every class must do, Could read, and taking courage from, May also be sublime: Another glowing tribute to Our Alma Mater true. This is the end. The tale is told. Our group will scatter fast, But just another word or two For days that are to be.

Under the capable guidance of Elton l-lunsinger and Bernard Mohan, the team has won outstanding fame. After a successtul start against the strongest exhibition schedule ever opposed by a Conynghani team, the powerful Blue and Gold tive ran roughshod over the other six teams in the Columbia County League, to capture its second successive chant- pionship and its fourth in five years. Much success for the splendid season must be traced to the work of six Seniors and one lunior who composed a veteran squad namely: lack Stibitz, lohn Monroe, Henry Rooney, as Forwards, Vtfilliam Owens at the center spot, and Leo Palevich, Bobert Wetzel and William Boyd holding down the guard posts. Their losses will be keenly felt, as Stibitz, Owens, and Wetzel have played regularly on the varsity five, for the past three seasons. Monroe, Boyd, and Palewici have all been two year men. Conynghani is justly proud of our team for the recognition it has received in winning a grand total of Zl out of 24 regularly scheduled games. Conyngham met in the State-wide playoff with a powerful Milton team and was defeated at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College court by the score of 46-36. Alter playing on even terms for one half of the game, Conyngham lost the services of its star forward, lack Stibitz, who was high scorer for the evening. Conyngham scored a grand total of l,ll3 points for the season, while holding its oppo- nents to 669. The prospects for next year are again bright, with five members of a squad of eleven remaining. They are: Henry Rooney, Bobert Bishar, Bichard Lesser, Ellsworth Levan and Frank Linetty. Again congratulations, Champions! O kg 3 CQ 3' KD H 'Q .SV I.

We have been diligently drilled by friendly and competent teachers. The true value of our high school education will in years to come prove that knowledge gained while in close fellowship with boys and girls of our own age, and station of life, is valuable. The same knowledge which you, underclassmen, are now storing away, will be of great worth to you. The Seniors take this last opportunity to thank the faculty for the time which they have given us, so that we might be prepared to meet the trials of this fast moving and turbulent world ahead, and to do our part faithfully for complete V I C T O R Y. And, too, we thank all the boys and girls oi the lunior and Senior High School who have helped us in any way, financially or otherwise, and have made this our last year in dear old Conyngham High, a pleasant one.
