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.

BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION T the beginning of the first sem- ester the boys of Cowan High School organized a High School Ath- letic Association with Harry Fleming as president, Raymon Turner, secret- ary and Harry Johnson, treasurer. 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.
