| Notes |
- Charles Deal was allowed to drink beer while he tended the vegetable garden, despite wife Ruth's strong objections to alcoholic beverages, because "drinking water while in a hot sun made him sick."
In Indianapolis, Ruth Deal sometimes purchased a live chicken to cook. It was she, not husband Charles, who wrung the neck of the chicken strongly enough so that the head separated from the body, which then dropped to the ground and ran for a minute or so about the yard.

 | Brazil, Clay, IN High School (Postcard, June 1917)
Text printed on obverse: "Brazil High School, like many other Indiana schools, was designed by the Terre Haute architectural firm of Johnson, Miller, and Miller. It was built in 1916."
Iva F. Deal (class of 1916 or 1917) and Thomas R. Payne (class of 1916) graduated from this high school. Iva was probably the first person in her immediate family to complete twelve years of schooling. She learned typing and shorthand and later worked as a stenographer at the headquarters of the American Legion. Thomas R. Payne developed his artistic talent and had a successful career as a commercial artist. The building was designed to house a "comprehensive high school," one that prepared students, especially the majority who would not attend college, for a beneficial role in American society.
The classes of 1916-1917 attended during a period of change in secondary education in the United States. The changes in objectives, no longer the memorization of facts and the classics, were summarized in a thirty-two page report of a committee of the National Education Association and published in 1918 by the U.S. Bureau of Education.

"Seven Cardinal Principles of Secondary Education.
This year, after three years of work, the Commission of the Reorganization of Secondary Education, appointed by the National Education Association of the United States, submitted the report "Cardinal Principles of Secondary Education." For the purposes of this commission, secondary education was defined as applying to all pupils of approximately 12 to 18 years of age. This report, which was written at the height of the progressive education movement, would become one of the most influential education documents of the twentieth century.
The commission identified seven main objectives of education: 1.Health; 2.Command of fundamental processes [reading, writing, mathematics]; 3.Worthy home membership; 4.Vocation; 5.Citizenship; 6. Worthy use of leisure; 7. Ethical character. . . ."

 | American Legion Headquarters, Indianapolis, IN
In 1930, Iva Florence Deal was a stenographer and her father, Charles Deal, was a night watchman in the west building. The building faces the memorial, four black granite columns topped by an golden eagle, to those who served in World War I.
"The two American Legion buildings in the Sunken Garden define the east and west sides of the plaza at the north end. . . . The organization’s selection of Indianapolis for its national headquarters in 1919, the year the American Legion was formed, was the driving force behind the construction of the World War Memorial Plaza. Walker & Weeks designed the two Neo-Classical Revival American Legion headquarters buildings, placing them lengthwise within a sunken lawn area to emphasize the long axis of the entire plaza. Their plain Doric pilasters and restrained ornament make them subordinate to the main buildings visible from this location, the memorial and the public library. Although both were designed by the architects along with the 1923 master plan, the west building was built in 1925 and the larger east building not until 1950, using the original exterior plans and elevations drawn in 1923." |
