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

Qur Alma Mater The bugle of life calls to men, Who must the battle now begin! How sternly sweet that lofty song- Defend the right, redress the wrongt' We come, O duty, forty strong, To right the thralls, the foes of wrong! O, Alma Mater! While we bow, Thy hand of blessing on each brow! Nay, nay! thy blessing ever rests On him who doeth God's behestsg Hail and farewell! 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! We understand thee and we go Where the tides of battle flowg Yet bless us, mother, as we kneel With consecrated sword and shield.
