Fewell, a graduate of Indiana Uuiversity, is the head of the school. He is a man of broad education and a varied school experience. His leadership is able and under his direction the school is in a flourishing condition. Mr. Fewell has charge of the manual training, Senior arithmetic and Freshman algebra. The rest of the time is given to the general supervision of the school. Mr. Russell E. Eilar, the principal of the High School has studied in the Indiana Normal school and also at In- diana University. That he has given satisfaction is evidenced by the fact that this is the successful close of his second year's work in the Cowan school as teacher of science and mathematics. Miss Maud Michael, the teacher of Domestic Science, English and History has been a close student in several of the leading schools of Indiana, having done most of her work in Indiana Uni- versity andthe Indiana Normal School. Five years of successful work stand to her credit in this school. Miss Marion Ryan, the teacher of Music, Drawing and German is one of the new members of the faculty. Miss Ryan is a graduate of the Muncie High School and has been a student in De Pauw and Muncie National Institute. Mrs. B. E. Huffman is the teacher of grades seven and eight. Her education was obtained through various schoolsg those in Indiana being the Indiana State Normal and Winona Teachers' College. She has added to this, much travel and an experience running through all grades and in High School. Mr. Duane Newton is too well known in this vicinity to need an introduction. His preparation as a teacher is thor- ough, backed by invaluable experience. Mr. Newton has charge of the fifth and sixth grades and his efficiency is at- tested to by his long retention in the Cowan schools. Miss Sybil Rinker and Miss Mildred West, two new members of the faculty are the instructors in third and fourth and second grade rooms. Both of these young ladies are graduates of the Cowan High School and have had full training in the Muncie National Insti- tute. Both are talented young women and are building up excellent reputa- tions in their special lines of work. Mrs. A. B. Bowers, the first primary teacher received her special training in Mrs. Rlaker's Teachers' College in In- dianapois. Mrs. Bowers is splendidly adapted to her work in teaching the little folks. Her results mark her as one of the best in her profession. tam? S EN IORS So lung Jump!!! F' govsl to I3-f Huw CLASS MOTTO -- Practice makes the master CLASS FLOWER - White Rose.

The crew consisted of Theodore Ball, Raymon Turner, Noailes Hayes, Edith Dragoo, Ruby Hays, Edna Dragoo, Mary Haynes, Gilbert Tuttle, Beulah Jeffer- son, Mary Hayes, Harry Johnson, Guy Neff, Madge Priddy, Carrie Reese, Aud- rey Rhoton, Mary Ross, and Lamon West, with Mr. Carson as captain and Miss Louella Cordier and Mr. Kern as first and second mates. We were in- experienced sailors but willing to help each other. NVhen Gilbert lost his belt Guy helped him hunt it. With a good captain to guide us and two exper- ienced mates to teach us the ways of ship craft, we faithfully began our ex- plorations in German, Algebra, Botany and English. We discovered many new and novel things but learned all about each as we found them. As we sailed into port the next spring, we de- cided that the Freshmen were no longer large enough for us, so a new ship was built. The fall of 1914 saw us launched in the new ship which we called the Sophomore This year we found that Thedora Ball and Mary Haynes had decided to sail on other waters but Harry Fleming, Elzo Clevenger and Roberta Fleming had joined our crew. This year we still had Mr. Carson and Mr. Kern on board but Miss Louetta took the place her sister had held the year before. Everything went smooth- ly this year and we explored farther into German and English, completed Algebra and became slightly acquaint- ed with Geometry. We also explored the Isles of Ancient History where Diogenes went about the streets hunt- ing for an honest man and Socrates drank the poison Hemlock. About the middle of the winter Guy Neff fell over hoard and decided that dry land was safer, so he swam ashore. In the fall of 1915, a new ship was built. The jolly Junior and the crew again set sail. Beulah Jefferson had become frightened because of Guy's accident and failed to join our crew. This year we had Mr. Fewell from In- 'dianapois as our captain and Mr. Eilar of Hagerstown, Miss Sutton of Indian- apolis and Miss Michael of Eaton as mates. We safely finished our explor- ation in Geometry, continued our Ger- man and English and visited the twin isles of Medieval and Modern History. The most important event this year was the reception we gave to the crew of the Senior on board the Junior. The fall of 1916 finally arrived and we set sail in the large ship Senior with the Purple and Gold flying at the mast head. VVe learned that Mary Ross had set sail on the sea of Matrimony with Mr. David Siewart as captain. However, our crew was joined by Harold Vice, a very good sailor. This year we found one of our mates, Miss Sutton had left us. Her place was filled by Miss Ryan. We took it upon ourselves to explore a little of the lifc into which we were soon to go as the commercial world and a fmodern kitchen. At last we have reached port for the last time, feeling that we have thor- oughly explored ,the Lake of Cowan High School and each is ready to try his hand as sailing his ship on the Sea of Life. SENIGR PROPI-IECY The night was wild and dark and drearyg It rained and the wind was never weary, I seated myself in the cozy room By the fireside bright with its cheery bloom It seems that the Fates must have touched my 'brow For in no other Way can I 'account for it now Those figures that into my vision flew And left their impressions, whether false or true Twenty years had flowng '27 the date. And the chumls of my High School both mod- est and great Came flocking around meg each having his say. In fact I'll admit 'twas a wonderful day, First came Doctor Flem the dear old boy He had studied hard and now M. D. Was attached to his name, I was glad to see. Then the dear little Skinny of High School fame Had won for herself a glorious name. She had really Written a wonderful 'book And we knew it was fine from her very look And Pijeiach that very genital young man Had played and sang as only he can, And now a prosperous merchant he With a home and love as happy as can be. And tide and Ed just two of a kind And both had developed a wonderful mimi For two brothers, and strange 'tis to say They were twins too, and now all are happy and gray. And then came a sweetdfaced woman of grace Dear Hobbit had found in the world a fine place She had followed Miss Michael in Cowan High School And had English land History and taught them by rule. Then came a tall fellow with a serious f-ace And it seemed I could find him no single place But, at last, through the clerical look I es-pied Our Githbie the joy of our hearts and our pride. R But who's this that now comes into the light? It's dear little Mon and a very fair sight She is, to be sure, a great movie star! To see whom, people come from near and from far, And almost unchanged two sweet matrons came They were Hazy'i and Drey',' and no one could blame Them for being so happy with such fine looking men. 'I' hey Then They They Each But, Why They A nd A nd A nd told me their names-'but they're both g-one again I turned my head to see two happy frat men. I were Bobby and Jing.', They saw me and then- told of the luck they had had galore. still owned a Ford and wished ifor no more. who are 'these ladies that come into view Priddy and Pet. Indeed it is true. told me theyfd turned to the political field found there great glory and much power to wield. just as the beautiful matrons left, I was feeling old and bereft In came a lovely wom-an, with hair of gold Our Democrat dear, as sweet as of old. I-Ier story of m.atrimony's bliss was soon told. She Oh fled from the room and alone I was left. dear! How the wind blows so wil-d and so dreary. It rains and the storm seems never to weary. But I rouse me up by my 'bright fireside- And gone rare the visions! To reciall 'Chem I've tried. CLASS OF '17 Seated one day at the window, My mind wandered over the past And I thought of my school days at Cowan And the thoughts came thick and fast. l thought of thc years that were over, The many glad times that we had, When we were all happy together And the thought of it made my heart glad. Then t 'thought how we entered the High School, Green Freshies then was our name. But we battled along through our studies And, at last, for our class, won much fame. Next year we entered as Sophomores, XVith minds ever willing to work, I With hearts full of hope and forbearance, And hands that never would shirk. VVe soon changed our name to Juniors And a right jolly bunch we were, too, Our work ,began to get heavier And we always found something to do. At last we became known as Seniors Had finished the race we had run, Since we had entered the High Sschool? No! the race had only begun! The time had then come for separation When each one must choose his own way, And confquer the giants before him Make each day outshine the old day We left the ol-d building with heartaehes, Twelve short years we'd spent under its roof, And there gained the knowledge awaiting us Of which each one has now so much proof. Such thoughts are now fresh in our memory, But we must continue the fight And prove to the people around us These words, whate'er is, is right. ' Madge Priddy. SEN IGR CLASS SONG tTo Tune of Perfect Day.J Well, this is the end of our Senior year And the end of our High School too, And the thought brings forth the unbidden tear Though our hearts beat with gladdness, too For we've longed for this day, for our great Class Day And have worked for it 'brave and true. Now has come the parting of our ways Yet it comes with a meaning new. Well, this is the end and the commence- ment too The world looks so bright and so fine, And we long to find out if it's staunch and true And to go forth and step into line For our Alm-a Matre so tender and true Will send us forth in our turn And God will guide us the long way through To Heaven and His Great White Throne. Harold Vice. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the undersigned members of the class of 1917 of Cowan High School, being in our right minds and at peace with the world and very much pleased with our good conduct during our career as students of Cowan High School, do hereby bestow upon those whom we deem worthy of the honor, the following gifts, towit: First-As individual members of the class we give to each and everyone of the fac- ulty our deep thanks for the great in-' terest they have taken in our behalt and for the encouragement and gen-- erous aid given to us in our work. Second: To the Junior class we be- stow our place as Seniors, our dignity, our, Pep, Punch and Personality, our exceedingly high grades and our good behavior. Also, we hope that they will be able to have as much class spirit as we have had, when Seniors. Third: To the Freshman class, we bestow our infinite wisdom and hope that they will pass their remaining years at school and uphold Cowan High School. Fourth: To the Sophomores we leave our art of persuasion and our sociability. I, Mary Hayes, who have primped so much leave the mirror and comb for Edith Harold and hope she will use them to an advantage. I, Gilbert Tuttle, leave 111y musical talent and my beautiful complexion to Paul Barnhart, knowing that he will appreciate them. I, Audrey Rhoton, since my giggle is too precious to leave, bestow my next valuable possession, my cute little dimples to Crevia Spangler. I, Raymon Turner, having spent 111any ha1'd years of my life in study- ing desire to give to Freshman class the benefit of my experience. There- fore I bequeath to said parties the 598 pages of manuscript said volume en- titled How I Worked My Teachers. I, Noailes Hayes leave llly enthusi- asm over basket ball to little Helen Johnson, knowing that to be able to jump high makes a person tall. I, Edith Dragoo, leave my 98's and 99's and my love of study to Claud An- derson and my pleasant smile Ikeep for myself knowing I can't find an- other. I, Ruby Hays, leave my dreamy eyes and my golden curls to whoever needs them most. Also my punctual- ity. I, Harry Fleming, leave my beauti- ful tenor voice and my wonderful ability to orate to Cecil Fewell. I, Madge Priddy, decide to leave my reserved and winning ways to Madge Rinker. I, Lamon West, leave my cute little surveyors and my dear little boyish ways to my sister Laoma and hope she will become a mathematician like my- self. I, Harry Johnson, have decided to go into politics but hereby name Merril West heir to my sunny smile and good nature. I, Roberta Fleming do gladly give up all of my love letters to Mr. Eilar to use as models. CBetter late than never.D I, Harold Vice, gladly give to VVm. Hale four inches of my height hoping Little Bill will be able to see every- thing that happens in the assembly be- cause of the added inches. I, Edna Dragoo, leave my collection of jokes and my hearty laugh to Rob- ert McShirley as he is troubled with the blues. In conclusion, we, the Senior Class of 1917, do appoint as administrators and executors of this will the Junior Class knowing that they are a little superior to their under class men. To this, our last will and testament, we do, this lst day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1917, set our hands and seal. Carrie Reese. THE SENIOR PLAY THE l,lTTl.E SAVAGE Gilbert Tuttle Capt.

The characters were all praised for their ahility to imitate and for the ease with which they did it. The High School audi- torium was crowded and everyone praised the characters. The play itself held interest from the moment the 'curtain went up until the final lowering. The vivid characteristics ot' life and of the tangled webs that are woven as one mounts the stairs of m-atrimony were humorously portrayed in spite of the grave conditions that confronted the Little Savage. The play was staged hy Miss Michael who deserves much credit for its success. QT! QU DAD SENIOR CLASS WEEK Sunday, April 22, 1917-7:30 p. m., Baccalaureate Address.

Carson, Louetta Cordier and Chas. Keen as our guiding stars, we en- tered Cowan High School with an enrollment of sixteen. Like any other Freshmen, we were trodden under- foot by the Seniors, and consid- ered in general very much of a nuis- ance. Even after Christmas, when we moved from the old store building into the new school building--and traveling is supposed to he an education in it- self--we were about as popular, I should say, as a combination of the seven plagues. In fact, four ot' our classmates dropped in despair, during the summer: Glen McDonald, Rozella Harris, Walter Tuttle and Edward Gamble. As Sophomores we asserted our in- dependence and insisted on being un- trodden upon. Russell Ross and Jolm Metzker, two vauable basket ball play- ers, Vienna Jones and Mary West re- fused to be classed with us, so de- parted. Eva Neff entered our class, however, as a balm to our troubled spirits over the departure of our class- mates, and Ray Cunningham came, saw and conquered his desire to stay, all in one term, and though we appre- ciated his fleeting visit, we would have appreciated a longer stay, much more. Altogether we acquitted ourselves quite creditahly under the tender, fostering care of Charles Fewell as Superintend- cut and Mr. R. E. Eilar, who might ap- propriately be called Shorty, Maude Michael, our basket ball fan, and Dolly Sutton a lady of uncertain temper, as assistants we did not have a very good reputation, however, for some inex- plicable to us reason. As bonny Juniors, blithe and gay, we entered next year, and our roll-call held only thirteen names. Unlucky number, so no wonder four of our classmates dropped out during the term: Wayland Peacock, Zelma Rink- er, Ermine Garrett and William Hale, still, with Mr. Fewel as superintendent, Miss Michael and Miss Ryan assisting him, and Mr. Eilar as class patron, we were begged, bribed and coaxed to learn, until now we are nearing the close of our Junior year. And next year we start as Seniors! With awe in our hearts we gaze at the seats, which we hope to fill next yearg and though they tell us that, collective- ly, our class is worth less than nothing at all, still, I think, individually, we will prove that our class is after all, even collectively, like our colors, true blue.

SOPI-IOMORE CLASS HISTORY S Freshies we, the grand Sopho- more class of 1917 commenced our high school life in 1915. VVe were not treated with as much respect as were the more experienced high school students. There were twenty students in our class, ten boys and ten girls. In a few days we were organized and arranged, and we soon grew accustomed to high school life. We studied algebra under Mr. Few- ell, Miss Sutton was our German teach- er, Miss Michael our English and Do- mestic Science and Mr. Eilar the ag- riculture teacher. We prospered splendidly and our standard was about the highest through out our Freshman year. Hut, alas, our large class was not long to keep its size for only a few weeks after school opened, Edythe Nixon left our ranks. We then held the remaining nine- teen until several othe1's, one at a time dropped out to take up some new occu- pation. VVhen we started in as Sophomores only thirteen of our original number and Elsie Rhoton a new member were there to take up the work. Thus we sta1'ted our Sophomore year with four- teen. A few months later Frank Hol- singer left to take up life on a farm and soon Frances Ball moved to Mun- cie. Then in a few weeks Ernest Dil- lon joined our number. VVe not only hope to finish our Sophomore year, but to complete our high school work without any more leaving our class. SOPHOMORE CLASS Hugh Hzuwnlrl, Pros. l.aom:1 West, SCCHQ'-TI'C1lS.

We have reached the present stage by exertion and effort and we expect to arrive at our selected some- where in the same way. The completion of our new school building and a siege of contagion, dur- ing our sixth and seventh years left much to be accomplished ere we were fit to take upon us the added weight of High School subjects. VVe worked faithfully during the year of '15 an '16 and due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Newton in our behalf, we were able to pass the final examination. On the eleventh day of September, we met in the High School room for the first time. There were Thelma Armstrong, Virgil Tuttle, Fred Rinker, Gladys Harold, Leonard Jones, Flor- ence Collier, Vera Neff, Ruth Vander- burg, Mabel Stinson, Herman Ulrich, Vada Priddy, Pliny Garrett and John .loiner, two very brilliant pupils from Oakville, Hallie Reese from Muncie, Ethel Rinker from Jonesboro and Clay Hill from Whiteoak. Later Ruby Rat- vliff of Denver, Colorado joined us. We could not hope to keep our num- ber intact during the year for some are constantly changing, nevertheless, we regret having lost Frank Fleming, Ruth Vanderburg and Vada Priddy, but we hope they will return to Cowan High School next year. Frank Null with his tenacity, Flor- ence with her unconscious wit, Clay with his imagination, John with his extensive vocabulary, Pliny with his stability, Thelma with her perfection, Hallie with her sweetness, Gladys with susceptibility, Leonard with his will- ingness, Fred with his agility, Ruth with her innocent faith, Virgil with his perseverence, Ruby with her con- scientiousness and deep thoughts, Mabel with her unassuming attitude. Vera with her hidden treasures and Ethel with her vivacity show that we have a worth while class and prove our motto, Somebody going somewhere after something. Frank Null.

With these officials we played sev- eral lnatch games with the different schools inthe county. At New Year's we joined the State Basket Ball Association. VVe quickly secured games for every Friday night. These games were very interesting be- cause of the excellent playing and in- tense rivalry between the schools. On March 10, and 11, we journeyed to Newcastle to take part in tl1e Sec- tional tournament held there. VVe were easily defeated by Muncie but won much credit for being one of the fastest and cleanest playing teams that played there. There is our captain, Du McShirley, a star guard, whose ambition is to shut his man out each and every game. He has the right idea of what is necessary. His expression is, Teamwork here. Hub also shines as gua1'd. His teillll work is hard to beat and he is up and at 'emf' throughout the game. Vice, our center is a man unexcelled. He is quick and can jump. His motto is , I can make it from heref' Merrill is a tall, slim fellow, whose height gives him an advantage over a guard. As a forward he is a quick, sure shot. His attitude is shown in his poetical words: Watch 'em step, lots of peptn The life of our game lies in our for- ward Flem. He is noted for his sure goal shooting and accurate pass work. He only laughs when he makes a shot, but it is Oh, bugs, that is heard when he misses. Thornie our stalwart sub, is cap- able of taking any man's place and making good at it. Gibby is tight but very fast, and is a very useful player. FIRST BASKET BALL TEAM I T FFXVFII Ft'lCltltYM l' lt0'hc1't BIL'Sllil'tCj', tlalptzniu . 4 4...

The work has been of a very practical nature, which involves all fundamentals in handling, caring for and us- ing tools in bench work. Only enough theory and mechanical drawing work has been given to be helpful in the construction work. The class has learned to interpret working draw- ings and plan drawings of original nature. T-he articles made vary from the useful farm tool to the ornamental parlar piece. Some of these are farm gates, wagon jacks, harness rack, rockers, morris chairs, stools, hook cases, writing desks, jardinere stands, cedar chests, buffet, library tables, piano benches and many other such articles. The grade of work has been first class as has been evidenced by prizes taken in county con- tests. Next year this department is expecting to get power machinery as lathes, plainer, rams, etc., which will help it to a greater ad- vantage. 'Concrete work will also 'be added. The industrial department hopes to help solve some ot' the problems that the eon- solidated schools are facing. f,L'1l .Xmlcrs EIGHTH GRADE Nut Viola .luiics Opal Halu NYlIllfl'L'll X ' lzcllth XX mmclyallwl l.cullard -lCl.l,L'I'54lll Glen Stinson llllll ai .lamcs Young l,owcll Hough laissic' ' 4-' un Paul Russ liL'llIl0ll1 'l'lw1'nliurg l ucillc llmwci' l'.i'L-11-ll llarmiclizwl l'lI'1lllL'lS 'llll0l'lIlllll'g Blaucliu llarshmnn Marion X lun- liclna lliukcr l.awI'cnL'c liyan Mildred Fcwcll Ilalph Amlursun Mary Rcyllolcls Clara Harrold SEVENTH GRADE liva Harlclill Marsh liuons liva lla-csc Hay Fcwcll Ilaymuml Pilsur Wialtur Knight IDL-lln-rl Harrulcl Louisc Harrulfl Mary l'll'ich llaskvll Finluy Carl Nlqhilc livclyn SlL'VL'llSUIl lflllllllllll Slioclilcy Noah Slim-vc DOMESTIC SCIENCE-AA7TI-I AND 8TH Winifred West Iidith VVoncly:.l'tl lieu Anderson Lucille Hoover Viola: .Innes hlillltlll' llnrslnnzzn Opal Hale Eval Huddin lfdnzi ltinlier Eva Reese Mildred Fewell M-:try l'lrieh Mary lleynolrls Louise Hzlrrold Clara: Harrold Evelyn Stevenso MANUAL TRAINING-7TH AND STI-I Lossie nlllliL'l' Leonard .lefferson .lznnes Young Paul Koss lluynlond Pitser lfflllllllld Shoekley XV:1lter Knight ltverett f,ill'lllIL'll1lL'l I Glen Stinson Lowell Hough Kenneth Thornburg Delbert Harrold Marsh Koons Haskell Finley Marion Vice Luwrenee Hyun llulph Anderson Curl VVhile Huy Fcwell Noah Shreve rz1neis Thornbl FIFTH ANDESIXTH :GRADES l ll 'I'H GltAlJl'I tlllavlcs llarris illarullcu Gibson Harluy l'l1ll'5lllIl1lll Martha llrtnnni Vt-lnla Pitscl' l'l2ll'l'L'll 'lllIl'llt'I' Marshall ltinkcr Vivian Guy Gt-orgc At-levi' Gladys Harris Partlmcna Young l,4lI'lllll Young Olivo lloou-V Mary ltccsv Itollyn Reynolds Sylvia Nl0lllglllIlL'l'j Viola l'anI liyron Nixon Edwin Nelson Lulalt l.v:1c'l1 Nlartlia Paul litln.-l Stinson illanclu Nelson Carl Prictcly liinory Pcacovk Hculal1'l'uttlC llilyllltlllll llcatll Slxvllll llllfllllil Carl liullot-li Mary ll1lI'l1llCll1lL'l Mable' ltinlici' -l1tlllL'S Collin-1' Ada Nelson Carol Armstrong HL-lon l'l1'iuh llay Null Viola 'l'nttlc Russell llall Doris ltuynoltls Maria- llarvington ltolu-rt llllllilil' Vivian lfl'2lIllllll'Il Norma Gitln-rl Nlilttrud Irvin Howard I'lr'ivl1 Nlilmlrml 'l'l1ol'nlnn',f.t i THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES Tlllltll Gltftllli l Ul'lt'l'll Glt.tDli Vt-rlin Iinclianan Garnct Nlullonncl Lncillc 'l'hornlnn'g Anita Nottingham Glcn Niuliols ltolwrt ltcynolmls Ilcllmcrt Knight .Iohn xVllllllll'll llobcrta Harshlnan Margarct llc-ynolds llathcrinc Hays l crn Heaton ltarolml llays Lt-ota ilarinicliavl Gerald ML-Connul Marshal lit-rn .tliuc lficy tllaricc Finley Tholnas Slloclilcy Lois liraclbnrn Paul flltl'IlllL'll2ll'l lilnia Marsh Marion Knight .Iohn Stephenson licnlpul' lloss Iicnnt-th RlllliL'I' Hoy Lyons ltalph Fnllhart lildon Haclrlin Francis Heaton liva NVatkins linnna Bill'Illl1ll'l llaroltl lloovul' flurry Brown llulli Lung Parry Pitscr llonu-I' .lllllllfitlll AlIlUlllL'llL' I'llL'lIllll l.cna Van lflvct GL-m'g.:c Gibson Paulinc AlHll'l'SllIl liugcnc Hiatt Leslie NL'L'lllCl' llulwrl Nivlmls SECOND GRADE XVillian1 Ross i1Iii'l'u1'd Nccrllcr Arn-ha Reynolds Iiarl Hcatnn llnih llnss liL'lIl2lll llcalll Howard 'llllUI'Illllll-, llvlcn Nillllllglllllll Gladys Iluchanan Curliss Russ xvlllllllll Slmckluy lili Sln'cx'c liulwri l.cach l'll'2IIlL'lS Stinson Iivcrctl Marsh Ilaynmnil Rccsc illco Nivlwls l:l'CllUl'lL'li lin-lcllcll lilllJL'l'l liall Frank lin-rn Maclunna lfinlvy Marion Oxlcy Mario 'llnillv Lula Bullock liatlmlccn Null M'il4ll'0d Snider livthcl Williams Francis Fusicr Lucille Marsh llulwrla TllU'l'lll1lll'Q Norma llrunim FIRST GRADE .lcssc Alliinsun Marcus Nc-Winn Mary Huffman llnrutlmy liirp Calhcrinc llcynulcls Allycrt Slanluy licnncth 'llclllcrfiwrl Mary xvilll'DllI'Il .lacrrly Heaton llorutlmy liall Gilln-rl Henning liugcnc libel' l.m'anc hollars l,L-onidas flonpvr Graco 'RL-ynulils .Xgncs liurn Paulina Painter LL-lah Marsh Thomas Slircvcs lla XVhiic Gladys Anderson 'l4L'l'lllI XVCSI liivfcr Crawlcy l sec in cach child thc possibility of a pcrfuct cli-m'acl0l'. TI-IE ENGINE lt is an ancient janitor And he stoppeth one of threeg By thy short beard and spectacled eye, Now wherefore stoppeth thou me?,' The school house doors are opened wide, The teacher's rung the bell, VVhat happens then when a fellow's late It wouldn't do to tell. He holds him with his soiled hand, An engine once ! quoth he. Hands off! Let go, thou graybeard loon ! But faster on held he. Years, years ago, boy, years ago, When this school house was new, An engine there they did install The heating lfor to do. Back in a dark, dark, gloomy cell, The unhappy thing chained they And there I was to watch o'er it For many a weary day. To heat, to pump the water up, And eke to ventilate. This was the threefold duty Of that engine, they did state, Forever there to rave and roar lt seemed would he its fate. VVe doubted not the thing would work We swelled all up with pride When one s-ad day it gave la gasp Turned one flip-flop and died. That was the beginning of the end, And my fine job, once fair Took on the aspect hy and bye, Of a horrible nightmare. And now there came both wind and snow, And it grew wondrous cold The ice was here, the ice was there, The engine grew o'er bold. And refused to work, for good or ill! Right cold it was, gosh knows The mercury stood at twenty-thrcc, And everybody froze. One night there gathered here a throng On basket hall firm bent The lights, -they flickered once, twice, thrice, And then, bang! out they went! With goadiug, oaths and proddings then, We worked with faces wang It cracked and growled and roared and howled But never a light came on. There passed aweary time! The date Drew near for our vacation, Vile needed no more heat, but must Have drink and ventilation. All in a hot and copper sky The blazing sun, at noon Right up over the school house stood, The students 'gan to swoon. Then over to the drinking fount They rushed, lbut all too late, There's never a drop of H2 0 Their agony to abate. With throats unslaked and black lips baked Our hearts began to sink Water, water, in the well But not a drop to drink. Heaven fave thee, ancient Janitor! What friends do plague thee so? VVith my good axe, my beaming boy, I brought that engine low I I chopped it into fragments fine, Its screws lay all around And now tfhrough day and night I hear The awful gasping sound. She breathed her last, and in my soul There comes no rest nor joy Till I can tell this grewsome tale To some young High School boy. Farewell, farewell! But tnis I tell To thee, thou bright young lad, He's happiest who chereisheth All engines, good or bad. Because, you see, they cannot help How they are made at all. The reason this one didn,t work Is this, it was too small. The janitor, whose eye was bright, VVh1ose ,belard with age was hoar. Is gone! and the sobered thoughtful boy Goes in at the nigh School door.

FRESI-IMAN MASQUERADE BALL The Freshmen class had a general good time last Hallowelen night. Every one was there masked in many different ways. The evening was spent in playing all kinds of games and refreshments were served. At ten o'clock the Freshmen had a elill and a song. They remained on the stage while everyone tried to guess each individual. They guessed for a long time but :it last found the very good image of George Wash- ington to be Frank Nullg the six Indians to be Mabel Stinson, Leonard Jones, Frank Flem- ing, Pliny Garrett, Fred Rinker and Vera Neff. A very good Queen Elizabeth was Hallie Reese. Ethel Rinker was a very humor- ous sight as she stood pigeon-toed with her head on one side. My, what a good likeness of .Si-mp-le Simon! There was Abraham Lin- coln with his son. .How natural they looked! They were John Joyner and Thelma Arm- strong. Our kind-hearted, beloved poet, Riley proved to be Virgil Tuttle. There were three sisters of our poet, Whittier present. They wore that same kind look that he had al- ways worn. They proved to 'be Ruby Hat- eliff, Gladys Harrold and Florence Collier. There was one little negro girl standing at the end of the stage chewing her finger. This was myself. We all decided that we had had a very good yet exciting time as we blew out the jack-o- lanterns and started homoward. Class '20. CAN YOU IMAGINE School without deportment? Freshmen as Seniors? ' Harold and Roberta forgetting to talk? C. H. S. without Mikie? Harry Johnson getting 80 in deportment? Fewell as a model Senior should be? A real-for-sure vacation? Edith forgetting to 'wash her hands? Eilar with gloves on? Hallie without Ethel? William Hale as tall as Eiliar? Paul Thornburg not smiling? Carrie should fail to go to Yorktown? Harold without Robert? Eilar not blushing? Juniors without Edith? C. H. S. without Mrs. Huffman's good speeches? Deportment without Ryan? Physics without Flem? Eilar with his hair mussed? Gladys should whisper? THE TREASURE HUNT When the six buccaneers and Jim had started to search for the treasure, they were in very high spirits, and ran shouting through the wood, but When they came upon the skeleton of a dead man, they -at once became very silent, kept close to one another, and spoke in low tones. As soon as they got to the top of the sun plateau, they sat down to rest, for the was very hot, and some of the men had not yet recovered from the fever. They all felt a sense of lonliness, and fell to talking of Flint, the old piuate. All at once from the trees in front of them, they heard a thin, trembling voice strike up this well known air: Fifteen men on the dead man's chest- Y'o-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum l', The color suddenly left their faces, and some of them seemed rooted to the ground. The song stopped as suddenly as it ha-d be- gun, and the buccianeers were much fright- ened, as if they had seen a ghost, for it sounded to them like the voice of Flint. John Silver t-old them that it was someone flesh and blood, and not to think of spirits. The others were becoming encouraged by this remark, when the voice broke out again, very faintly, and wailed: Darby MtciGraw! Darby McGraw! Fetch aft the rum Darby l The buccaneers' eyes started from their sockets. Dick got out his bible, and started to pray volubly. After a while they decided that it was Ben Gunn, and they said nobody was afraid of him, dead or alive. Soon they started again. It was nice walk- ing, for their path lay a little down hill. When they reached the first of the tall -trees, it proved the wrong one. So did the second. The third tree rose nearly two 'hundred feetg but the buccaneers were not thinking of its size: they were thinking of the seven hundred pounds in gold which lay buried under it. They hurried on faster and faster. Silver hobbled along on his crutch, grunt- ing. Jim knew that he was thinking that when they had found the treasure, and was on the Hispaniolfa, going hack, he would cut all their throats, and sail away by himself. Just as they came to the margin of the thicket, George Merry shouted: Huzza, mates ! and they all broke into a run. Then they suddenly stopped. Before them was a deep hole. The grass had sprouted from the bottom, and in it were the parts of a pick broken in two, and the boards of several boxes. The treasure had been found and taken away. The seven hundred pounds of gold were gone! 'Class 'l7. THAT SOMETHING lt is in you, it is in me, lt is in everyone wno will be VViilli'ng to strive to awaken That Sometihingf' lt has made men fight and win Battles against the greatest sin, Won, only by the help of, That Something !', , It is the thing that can make failure a success Out of a thing we think hopeless, By anyone who has found That Something. That thing helped our fathers, before us, To make other nations respect us, And they did it with only the help of That Something. . It has raised men from the lowest of levels, To thc highest pinnacles upon which man ever dwelled They were freed of the shackles that bound by That Something? It is only the thing which makes us say, I will Go do the task which will help us, And make us ready and willing to fill The position in which God intended to use us, But no matter how hard we try, we can never explain- . That Something. H. F. Vice. Class, 'l7. THE SCHOOL WAGON Still goes the school hack back and forth, The high school scholars 'bringingg Withili it now are joy and mirth And you can hear them singing. They tread indeed, the stony path That leads to greater knowledgeg But we hope their path as smooth will be VVhcn they are off at college. There may have been, there may be yet, A just as good proclaimed, But none will ever reach the height The school hack has attained. But with the hack a lession's born, For all who-ve tried its pleasures, Endure the throws of love and scorn, And please d'on't crowd your neighbors. They're going some day T0 show 'people aroun', That they are from The High School at lCow'n. M. E. H., Class '17. THE CHORUS The High School Chorus united with the Seventh and Eighth grade chorus during the month of March. Mrs. Huffman directed the chorus at the county musicale. After having rendered the two choruses in il very pleasing man- ner, they surprised the large audience by displaying Amer- ican flags and singing, The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground.
