VICTORY by The Reverend Thomas I. 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! 'k'k'A k VICTORY 'k'k'A k1

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
