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.

W' MEN 2 VM comm' 80v3!J! 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.
