It was one of the largest Freshman classes that had entered high school up to that time. The assembly room seemed like an enormous place to us after being confined to the smaller rooms for eight years. But gradually the feeling of embarrassment wore off and especially after Christmas Holidays when we moved into the new assembly, did we begin to feel as if we really belonged to high school. Mr. Johns was our sponsor that year and did all he could to help the class along. We did not enter into many social activities except that in the first month of school we were properly initiated, which, of course, started us on our successful career through high school. Although we did not step out socially we contributed in an industrial way to the school. The domestic science class raised money by selling hot lunches and equipped the kitchen with cooking utensils and dishes and furnished a dining room. The boys in manual training made several book cases, tables, and such things for the school building. At the end of this year Pauline McKinney moved to another school and Marian Oxley and Vera Lee Keesling quit school. At the beginning of the next year a slightly egotistical but peppy group entered into the Sophomore year. The most important thing in our career the second year was the editing of the Cowan Mirror.” It was the first monthly school paper to have been edited and we were very proud of it. We organized a press club and made some visits to the Muncie newspaper offices, so we thought our newspaper knowledge was fairly extensive. By combining the money we rais- ed by selling candy and that which we had left over from last year, we bought a mimeograph for the school. So with Miss Kirkham as our sponsor we went through this year very successfully although we had but few exciting events. We lost Lucretia Jester, Eli Shreves, and Carl Oxley from our class at the end of this year. The next September we started in with 30 boys and girls, but before the Christmas Holidays one of our girls. Mary Huffman, ventured forth into matrimony, leaving us only 29 to complete the year. We, realizing more seriously our responsibilities, were a more settled group who started out on the adventures of the Junior year. Naturally, our thoughts centered around the social events which would be ours to sponsor later on. As soon as the Christmas Holidays were over, with Miss Blank coaching us, we started on our class play, Aaron Boggs, Freshman, which was staged on February 15 and was a decided success. Next in importance was the reception given to the Seniors which was held in the Hotel Roberts. 1ms event caused us no little worry but we felt that our efforts were all repaid. We feel indebted to Miss Blank, who was our sponsor, for helping us to complete the year in a creditable manner. We lost Norma Drumm, Mildred Sheets, Martha Shockley, Robert Waldo, and Bethel Williams from our class at the end of the year. Now we are haughty and dignified Seniors but the nearer the time of graduation approaches the less haughty and dignified we feel, for we are leaving a place of comparative importance for something we know not what. Our class roll is now twenty-four and we feel proud to say that it is the largest Senior Class that has ever been in the Cowan High School. Whatever our lot may be we shall always cherish the memory of our high school days and shall look back upon them as the brightest and best part of our lives. VSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, 19 2 8 Page Sixteen W V AVAV V W V W THE IRIS SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One summer evening after I had completed mv day s labors. I was seated in a rose arbor facing the lake which was in front of my home. My thoughts had wandered back to the good old days when I had attended Cowan High School. These thoughts caused me to wonder what had become of all the members of the class of 28. Twilight came and I fell into a sort of a reverie. Gradually the air was filled with mist. I sat gazing into it until finally I thought I could discern some people on the other side. Slowly they seemed to cross the lake and come toward me. Perhaps you can imagine my astonishment and bewilderment when 1 recognized the Seniors of 1928. Roger Ream, the former class president, was leading the procession. He told me they had all planned to surprise me with a visit that evening but Ruth Ross, who was a missionary among the barbarous tribes in Africa, was unable to come because of her vital interest in saving the souls of the savages. Roger, I soon learned, was Hollywood's leading comedian, and Mary Johnson, who stepped up at just that moment, informed me that she was playing opposite Roger and was making a big “hit. One of the members, Ina Hayes, who had become very disgusted with men, was gaining much popular- ity as a chorus girl in the Ziegfield Follies. Immediately behind Roger was Dorothy Kirp, formerly vice-president, and Gladys Anderson, former secretary and treasurer. Dorothy had risen to a position as teacher in the Conservatory of Music in the windy city. Gladys, ber old pal, was a physical director in the Y. W. C. A. at Los Angeles. Dorothy and Gladys were kind enough to bring the other members to me and tell me what they were doing. Gladys Buchanan, an American novelist, presented me with one of her latest works, “The Vagabond Prince. Madonna Finley, one whom I was glad to see again, was secretary and satelite of Gladys. Jessie Jeffers was now the wife of one of the Senators from West Virginia and she had also become a very prominent political leader in that state. Towards the back of the line I saw Roy Lyons and his contented wife, formerly Pauline Painter, with their twins Bob and Martha. Roy had established himself as one of the leading dairymen of Wisconsin. Virginia Skinner and Lucile Marsh then came forward and Virginia told me she had gone to an art school at Indianapolis and had become an interior decorator of some fame. Lucile then gave me a print of her masterpiece, At Sundown, a typical Indiana scene. I then noticed some commotion down ti. line and I asked Roger who it was. He replied that it was probably Catherine Reynolds, who was an instructor in toe dancing in Honolulu. “Pray tell me who the gentleman with the cane is, I said. “That’s Senator Carl Oxley, from Indiana, Roger replied. “He's been looking with longing eyes at the presidential chair and he hopes to be chosen for the national leader in the race of 1952 or 1956. “And who is the gentlemen dressed in khaki, conversing with him? Marcus Newton, who has just been put in charge of the boy scouts of Michigan, he said. “I suppose you have heard that one of our members, Dorothy Chalfant, has married Regis Morley, a rich New York stock broker? Page Seventeen THE IRIS I overheard a conversation between Dorothy and a lady whom I soon recognized as Ila White. She had been employed by Edsel Ford as a tutor for his daughter. Roger, one member of your class must have a large family. Who is the lady with so many children? I inquired. That's Lola Bullock, matron at the Orphan's Home at Anderson. She has won the affection of all the children there, and seems to enjoy her work very much.” I’m not surprised to hear that Lola has taken up that sort of work, I said. At this I was interrupted with: “Yes, the young people of Baton Rouge seem very much interested in Latin and are very good students, I heard one voice say. Another voice replied, Oh, are they? Well! You know that's where the national typing contest was held last year. I wrote one hundred-twenty words a minute and never made a mistake. “You did? Were you ever in Europe? You should see the scenes of Gesar's battles. By this time they were quite close to me and I recognized the first speaker as Lela Marsh and the second as Frances Harbaugh. Good evening, Lela, I said. How are you, and what are you doing now? “I am working strenuously for a very good cause. I teach Latin in Baton Rouge and in the summer I travel, trying to arouse more interest in Latin, was her reply. To Frances I said, “I've heard that you are private secretary to the Presi- dent of Kitselman's Fence Factory in Muncie.” “Yes, and she seems to be finding the way to his heart about as fast as she can type, Roger added. Roger said he thought it about time for them to be getting back to their respective stations. I tried to express my joy at having received a visit from them. The feeling of complacency left me for they retreated into the mist from which they had emerged. At that moment I was aroused by my maid who informed me that an airplane had landed in the vacant lot back of our home. I hastened toward the spot and to my surprise there were three members of the class I had heard nothing about. There was Othal Knight, clad in aviator’s clothes, which set off his manly beauty quite properly. With him were Dr. Francis LaMar and his lovely wife, formerly Dorothy Ball. We went around to the porch and I related my singular experience. Dr. LaMar told me this was only a dream but the strange thing about it was that each character was really filling that place in the world. Othal disclosed the fact that he was having reduced rates on the trip from the United States to Europe by air. I pursuaded my guests to remain for the night and when morning came we all departed, the doctor and his wife for New York, and I was taking advantage of the lower rates by going to Europe.

Frances Wal- burn, Marjoria Heath, and Dorothy Buchanan, with Miss Kirkham and Mr Johns as first mates and Mr. Warren as captain. We were very inexperienced sailors but with two good mates and a helpful captain to teach us the ways of ship craft, we faithfully began our explorations in Algebra, English, General Science, and History. We discovered many new things and we learned all about each as we found them. When we sailed into port the next spring we decided the “Freshman was too old, so we built a new ship. The fall of 1926 found us launched in the new ship Sophomore. This year we found that Thomas Shreves, Everett Marsh, Ijjnsul Harris, Frances Foster, and Edna Ward had decided to sail on other waters but Harriett Leeka had joined our crew. Mr. Warren left our ship in charge of Mr. Leeka who was captain and Miss Kirkham and Mr. Kirp were mates. Everything went smoothly and we explored further in English and the Isles of Ancient History while we steered on for the course of Geometry and Bible. About the middle of the winter, Tilda Brown fell overboard and decided dry land was better for her so she swam ashore. We enjoyed many good times on board. One night we all went down to Miss Kirkham's cabin and had a wonderful party which gave us all more pep. We decided that we needed still a larger ship and we sailed into harbor and bid good-by to the Sophomore.” About four months later in the fall of 1927 we christened our new ship Junior. The jolly Junior and the same crew, with Orville Himes and Paul Carmichael as new passengers, set sail. Miss Kirkham left for work on a larger ship but she was succeeded by Miss Bunnell. We finished our explorations in Geometry and started again on Typewriting and the Twin Isles of Modern and Mediaeval History. John Lair suddenly disappeared to we know not where but we think he also jumped overboard and swam to shore. Most of us are happy hecause we only have one more year on the lake of “Cowan High School.” We already have our plans made for a larger ship ana we intend to name it “Senior.” After our voyage on the “Senior each will depart on his solitary voyage on the “Sea of Life.” ALFRED PENCE.

Page Twenty-four THE IRIS ’SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs SOPHOMORE CLASS In the fall of 1926, we, the class of '30, numbering twenty-two, started our journey through high school. At first we were trodden upon considerably by our upper-classmen, so much that two of our members gave up in despair and sought other fields of exploration. However, as we organized and elected our class officers, we showed our ability to take care of ourselves. Although a few difficulties arose we came through the year with a fairly good record. Next year, with our number decreased to seventeen, although we had one new member, Ralph Spangler, we elected our class officers as follows: Marvin Hayes, president, Donno Cooper, vice-president; Mary Jeffers, secretary; and Eldon Kirkham, treasurer. We started our diligent work in Latin, Geometry and other subjects. Shortly after organizing Lela Shockley left our ranks for some reason or other. With Mrs. Newton as our class sponsor and with several “stars in Latin, etc., we hope to live up to our motto, “We can because we think we can. and reach the lofty heights of our beloved Juniors and Seniors. The boys of the class started out fairly well in basketball work this year and would have kept up a good record if one of them had not gotten a Ford Coupe, and then all else was forgotten in favor of the coupe. Alas! What won't a Ford do with a person's scholarship and athletic ability? ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 19 2 8 SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.'SS Page Twenty-five THE IRIS Top Row—Miriam Riley, Frances Kiger, Earl Lenox, Fern Hornbaker, Mil- dred Parker, Levi Humbarger, Ruth Walburn, Ethel Tuttle.

We had thirty- six members, which made us have the largest class in high school. When we started to Mrs. Bowers in the first grade we had only twenty-six members, so if we increase in number like this until we are Seniors, we will have the largest class ever to be graduated from Cowan. With Mr. Kirp as our leader and advisor this year we undertook English, Latin, Biology, Algebra, Agriculture, and Domestic Science to introduce us to higher work so that we might not always be called Green Freshies. Our class has quite a promising group of basketball players, both for the boys’ and the girls’ team next year. This year six freshman boys turned out for work and most of them either gained places on the first team or played sub. Five or six girls reported for practice and some fell by the wayside leaving two as regular subs on the team. One of these was so tiny that she was afraid to sub in a game where the girls were very large. The boys also came to the front in baseball. There was a class tourna- ment played and this was won by the Freshmen. Next year we hope to be classed as Sophomores and go on through high school succeeding as we have this year, not only in athletics but all of our aca- demic work. 8S 3 Page twenty-seven THE IRIS 9®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®« Top Row—Phyllis Henderson, Joseph Brown, Darrell Cooper, Marie Lair, Ora Crow, Irvin Spangler, Eileen Huffman.

Although Cowan did not win any games during the past year the players showed their loyalty to the school by staying together and finishing the schedule. Only four games were played. Incidentally, the teams we played were three of the strongest of the county, so the C. H. S. boys should not feel ashamed of their record while on the diamond, in that it was the first year they had played together. Much praise is due to Mr. Armentrout because he labored ceaselessly, with the black and gold clad boys. The schedule and total points of the team were: Cowan 5—Center 13 Cowan 6— DeSoto 16 Cowan 6—Gaston 21 Cowan 3—DeSoto 15 Total: Cowan, 20: Opponents, 65. Average per game: Cowan, 5; Opponents, 16J 4 After the schedule was completed it was decided to have an inter-class tournament. Much excitement was aroused during this “Tourney, which was won by the ninth grade. 19 2 8 Page Thirty-four THE IRIS GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM I , na k R°w ‘Doiothy Kirp’ Franccs Harbaugh, Dorothy Buchanan, Mrs. Saunders, Coach- Jsabcll Rees, Mary Ross.

Out of the thirteen games that were played, the girls came out victorious in all but one. This was the Middletown game, which was lost by one point. The girls scored 500 points while their opponents only scored 208 points. Out of these points Gladys Anderson scored 293. Virginia Skinner, 179: Crystal Lenox, 19: Catherine Reynolds, 7; Isabel!

Coach Aimentrout developed a team that was fairly efficient considering the hard schedule. The team as a whole showed a very loyal attitude to the school and coach. Of the sixteen who responded to the call of the hardwood at the beginning of the season there were fourteen who finished the year. At times the teamwork and play was very erratic while at other times it was as good as could be wished for.

SYNOPSIS: The action of the comedy took place at the Rip Van Winkle Inn in the Catskill Mountains. The plot had to do with a struggle for supremacy in a Furniture Factory between Ted, the rightful heir, and Ira Stone, an unscrupulous adventurer, who was trying to gain control of the business. Ted was assisted by Mollie Macklin, the plucky little housekeeper of the Rip Van Winkle Inn. There was a thred of mystery in the story, but in the end, all mysteries were solved and Mollie Macklin found the road to happiness with Skeet, the boy from the Bowery CHARACTERS: Skeet Kelley ....

Sitting—Carl Oxley, Claudie Richman, Earl Lenox, Floyd Nixon, Ed Ulrich. The Agriculture Club has not been limited to any one class this year but has been open to the entire Senior High School. Much praise and honor is due to our instructor, Mr. Kirp, for his sincere interest that he has shown during our entire school year. We are ending this school year with a knowledge of agricultural work which will be of much value to us in the future. The class has studied stock judging, animal husbandry, soil texture, and horticulture. We also had experience in building farm gates and better farm equipment. Our interest was attracted to our work by taking trips to various places of interest to the farmer. We know that the time spent on this subject has been worth while and was enjoyed by all. We believe this subject should be taught and encouraged by all high schools in the future as agricultural problems are in- creasing all the time.

A flood of visitors from Center High. Wonder what has happened over there? School closed for Thanksgiving. 28. Program changed so as to let us out of school in time to feed the pigs and cook a bite to eat. That was Mr. Leeka's idea but we have a different method of disposing of our extra time. 30. Evangelist from the Quaker church gave a talk at chapel. THE IRIS DECEMBER 1. The same old game is going. Paper wads and still more paper wads. But the sad part of it is the eighth grade boys get all the punishment. 5. Wonder why so many were cut in deportment this month? Probably too many paper wads. That applies to notes also as well. The Seniors had the best attendance last month. They always get most of the money that s to be divided and I'm wondering if they will get the candy. 8. T.

Indiana. KITSELMAN BROTHERS, America's oldest fence manu- facturers, occupy an important place in the industrial and agricultural life of Delaware County. Their modern plants, located in Muncie, produce hundreds of thousands of rods of farm, poultry and lawn fence annually. All of it is sold direct to users throughout the United States and Canada, and in Mexico, South America, India, England, Norway, Australia, the West Indies and the Phillipines. The Kitselman Company was founded in 1883 at Ridgeville, Indiana, and moved to Muncie in 1900. A year later they built their own modern wire mill, one of the finest in the country, where all wire used in the construction of Kitselman Fence is manufactured. As pioneers in the industry, Kitselman Brothers have been re- sponsible for many notable improvements. Their most recent for- ward step is the use of 99 94 100 per cent pure zinc in galvanizing their fence wire. Heretofore zinc of such pure quality has been successfully used only on Telephone Wire. Kitselman Brothers also sell, direct to the consumer, Steel Posts, Gates, Barbed Wire, Paints and Roofing, all products of guaranteed quality. For the convenience of Delaware County residents, Kitselman Brothers maintain a Factory Sales-Room at their factory on South Council Street, Muncie, where all their products may be seen and purchased at prices just a little above manufacturing cost.

Thou shalt never permit the seams of thy stockings to be crooked. 2. Thou shalt look well to the con- dition of thy nails and teeth and to the sweetness of thy breath. If thy breath is offensive thy skin will be sallow and dull, thine eyes heavy, and thy temper short. 3. Thou shalt keep thy hair clean and becomingly and neatly arranged. 4. Thou shalt keep the skin of thine entire body exquisitely clean by regular and frequent bathing. 5.
