BLUE AH D GOLD Alan Lloyd Earl “A ” “I’ll be darned!” Orchestra (1, 2, 3. 4). Alan is known about the school as the champion hiker for his chief hobby seems to that of taking many long walks and as a rule by himself. We really got to know about Alan while on our stay in Washington and he could be found morning, noon and night roaming about the big metropolis. Don’t you ever get tired. Alan? He also was seen continually about the school reading magazines especially pertaining to aviation. As to whether he intends to make this his vocation we have not been able to find out as yet. Perhaps he is quite undecided because of the fact that Alan is very fond of the young ladies, not only one but many and if he should intend to fly he would only be able to take one with him. But putting all joking aside Alan is a conscientious worker and he has done quite a bit for the class and we know that if he intends to soar above us or carry on a business profession we are sure that he will be as successful as the other members of his class. We are all wishing you a successful career. Eleanor Ida Emens “Ick” “More detective work” A quiet lass, but a good one. There is really not a great deal to be said of this young lady because of the fact that we only really got to know' Kleanor during our last year of school, and to our surprise, we have found that she really has a sense of humor and also has many other good qualities. As to the male members of the class, they seem to have no attraction for Kleanor, although it has been rumored that she enjoyed many frequent rides during the winter months in the rumble seat of a dark roadster. Are we justified, Eleanor, in regard to this rumor? After leaving high school. Eleanor’s ambitions seem to tend towards nursing. And to carry on this profession, she intends to leave Conshohocken and live with her parents in New York, we believe. We are sorry to see you leave, Elc'inor. and we hope that you will again return, and. with you goes our luck and best wishes for the future. Albert Eugene Frankenfield “Cy” “Holy Mackerel” Ho hum. One minute to nine and one seat in Room 6 is still vacant, again we have reconciled ourselves to the fact that Cy” is going to be absent again. But we would all at once be mistaken because on the dot of nine he would come strolling in just as calmly as if it were only 8.45 A.M. If Cy had his way there wouldn't be any school, for hardly a week went by without him being absent or late. How about it, Cy ? He is another of our many quiet and reserved boys and because he is so very bashful, girls don't seem to bother him in the least. When asked what he will do upon leaving school we judged by his answer that he will be another of the many unemployed of the class, but we feel different about it because we know if Cy applies himself in the outside world as he did in school he will be a success. Go to it, Cy— we’re with you. Margaret Alexandria Funston “Marg” “Whatcha say?” Behold the Farmerette of our class! Margaret Alexandria Funston. Margaret is very quiet about school and therefore there is very little Page Thirty that we know of this young lady, but we do know that she is very capable when it comes to taking care of the farm and handling the men on it. She is what one might term an early riser and does a day's wrork before any of us ever think of getting up. She not only knows how to farm but she also knows how to take care of a Fo? d. especially on rainy nights dressed in formal clothes going to a dance. Around the school she takes an native interest in her studies and is always willing to lend a helping hand. As to what she intends to do in the future it has not been definitely decided but may happiness and success be your close companions, from the Class of 1931. Bessie Celia Gabin “Bess” “Oh, golly!” Glee Club (1. 2). Bessie is another one of the girls of our clas3 about whom very little is known. We do know however that she is capable of judging her time correctly in that she just arrives at school as the bell rings for classes to begin. Once in a w'hile Betty arrives early and it takes weeks for the class to recover from the shock. Altho she did not leave us in on the deep dark secret as to what she intends to do in the future, we feel sure since she is a lover of books that journalism would be a fine vocation for her. So good luck to you from the Class of 31. Edna Mae Gilmore “Yie” “Gee Whiz” Pells cf Capistrano (2) : Jerry of Jericho Road (3): Oh! Doctor (4); Glee Club (1. 2. 3). What will I do next? This is the familiar spying of Edna’s especially in bookkeeping class. “Yie, during her four years in school, did not stem to participate in many of the activities around the school, but then we suppose that we must overlook that fact for the reason that Edna’s thoughts were elsewhere. For you know it is rather difficult to concentrate in school when you are thinking of someone else who is dear to you and who is now making a name for h;mself in the outside world. Since our trip to Washington, we know that she w ould make an efficient housekeeper because she continually straightened out the girls' rooms that were in such a disorderly state of affairs. Edna, at times, is very quiet and reserved, and again, she is full of fun and always ready for a good time. We all felt sure that fhe should have worked out her course towards home economics. Put instead, she trained herself in the commercial work and intends to carry on as someone's stenographer after she leaves Conshohocken High School. May success be yours from the Class of 1931. Ruth A dele Grauel “Ruth” “Oh! heck” Basketball (3, 4); Bells of Capistrano (2): Jerry of Jericho Road (3); Oh! Doctor (4); On the Hiring Line (2); Skidding (3); It's the Climate (4); Dulcy (4); Glee Club (1, 2): Recording Secretary of Class (2); Cheer Leader (4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4). There is so much to say about this young lady that it is hard to know where to begin. We all know her talent as an actress to say nothing of her athletic ability. Everything that she attempts, she does well and she can be considered as the outstanding and most popular girl of the class. She has always been found doing something around the high school and because of the fact that she did everything in such a pleasant manner and because of her likeable dis-

BLUE AND GOLD Joseph Carmen Del Buono Joe” “Holy Mackerel” Basketball (2, 3, 4): Baseball (2. 3. 4): Football (2, 3. 4); Jerry of Jericho Road (3). Can anyone find a real friend now-a-days ? Yes. you can if you are fortunate enough to possess one like Joe. His lessons are always well prepared, his manner pleasing, and he makes use of every spare moment. He was among the leaders in the sports at Conshy High. In fact, Joe displayed at all times his sportsmanlik? ability in all lines of sports. Joe has always been admired for his bright disposition ami his ready smile and has gained for himself the name of “smiley. The saying Still waters run deep can be applied to Joe very easily. And in regards to Joe's attitude toward the fair sex, little if nothing about him is known. Although it has recently been rumored that he had been seen in the company of two sisters from the undergraduate classes! ! ! ! How about it. Joe? ? ? To You, Joe. the Class of 1931 extends to you our best wishes and good luck for your future. John Joseph DeVitis “Giant” “Is that so?” Orchestra (1. 2. 3): Oh! Doctor (4). John is one of the quietest boys in our class. He sure does have lots of patience and generally gets what he goes after. He is always quite concerned about his lessons, especially his algebra, and his by-word seems to be, Got your algebra finished? We don't know a great deal about this young man, but we do know that he is guilty of one trait, and that is of his perpetual smile. As far as we know the girls don’t seem to trouble John at all and therefore the fellows all know him as a dependable chap. We hear that John intends to go to Drexel in the fall because he aspires to become an electrical engineer. Go to it. John, you’re needed. Best wishes of the 1931 class always be with you. Donald Barnette Diesinger “Dinger”—“Don” “Howdy!” Bells of Capistrano (2); Jerry of Jericho Road (3); Oh! Doctor (4). Here we have it. Rudy Valee’s only competitor. For you know Dingy is quite a singer and at most any time one can hear him singing his favorite tune, Gee. It’s Great. After Being Out Late. Walking My Baby Back Home. Because of this reputation he has gained about the school, we feel that Dingy would make a good radio crooner, for whenever you see him he is singing one of the latest tunes. He is also what one might call a plugger when it comes to studying, and no matter how early we came to school Dingy was always there ahead of us applying himself to his studies, especially Shorthand. For you know he is very fond of Shorthand? ? ?—and how. Dingy is a mighty good sport and lots of fun and we were very pleased to have him in the Commercial Course and know that he ought to be able to make out satisfactorily in some office even if he does have trouble hitting the keys on a typewriter. But. whatever the future holds in store for him we are certain he will make good and the whole class wishes him lots of luck. Charles William Doran “Doran”—“Chick” “Not bad!” Orchestra (2, 3. 4): Band (2. 3. 4). Here we have it. The most accommodating young man when it comes to taking people on errands in his machine. For this reason. Charlie sure has been a great asset to the class. Charlie is a good mechanic or at least he seems to be. for whenever he pulls up to the Seventh Ave. entrance, up goes the hood on his machine and one can find Charlie tightening a nut or loosening a spark plug. Charlie leaves us under the impression that he is very modest and bashful, but we have our doubts because we have seen him quite often in the near vicinity of East Fifth Ave. Therefore, Charlie, there isn’t any wonder that there is a question in our minds. Doran aspires to be a traffic cop and we are sure that he will attain his ambition and we hope Charles, if you ever catch any of us speeding along the highway that you will remember we were your classmates in C. H. S. and do wish you lots of luck and future hipp.ness. Hannah Elizabeth Famous “Betty “Goo—Goo” Oh! Doctor (4); It’s the Climate (4); Dulcy (4) ; Glee Club (2). Clear the way. here comes Betty! And talk about personality, Betty has everyone stopped. And because of this and also the fact that she is loads of fun has lead her to gain many a permanent friendship. Betty is also the proud possessor of a beautiful head of auburn hair and a laugh that can always be heard whenever there is any kind of fun or amusement about. Betty is a! ys laughing and her witty sayings come out at the most unexpected times. We have searched far and wide to find some fault regarding this young lady, but we must admit that we have failed miserably. She has brought her name into prominence by taking an active part in dramatics and could be judged a great success when it comes to handling herself while on the stakL. Although Betty does not seem to agree with us. we think she is pleasingly plump and because of this disagreement, we do find that she has one fault w'hich is against all hygiene instructions—that of going on a diet for many days at a time eating only lettuce and drinking only water. Don’t be foolish. Betty, because we like you just as you are and would hate to see you otherwise. Bettv has her own ideas about men and therefore we are unable to comment upon them. We all know that when she enters into the business profession, she will be a great asset to the business world. May life treat you right—happy days, as you spent with us in C. H. S. go with you, Betty. Doris Irene Fillman “Dot “Quit you’re kidding” Jerry of Jericho Road (3): Oh! Doctor (4); Dulcy (4); Glee Club (1. 2); Blue and Gold Staff (4). To know her is to like her. Doris is a girl you just can’t help but like as she has a sunny smile for you every time you see her. Doris has cultivated a giggle which is the very latest out and if you ever hear it we advise you not to try it for it’s a special make and it might prove disastrous for you to copy it. Dot is also quite an actress. She made her debut in the Senior play, and we all know what a great success she turned out to be. In regard to the opposite sex. we were never fortunate enough to get her opinion about them, but we do know that she does have a tendency towards slender fellows. Doris intends to be a stenographer when she leaves school and we know that if she continues on with her commercial work as she did in high school she will be successful and we. her classmates. wish her lots of luck.

BLUE AND GOLD position. After all this, one would think that a girl of Ruth’s type would have many boy friends, but she has confined herself to one. only one ad-in r. r. no other than our dark-haired John Rob-»rt if Jeffersonville. Yes, 'tis true they seem to be inseparable and as we. her classmates, have placed our okay on the match, we hope thatthe friendship may last for a lifetime. Also, since Ruth has made a name for herself in athletics, we woud like to see her as an instructor in physical culture after she leaves C. H. S., but we hear that she intends taking up hairdressing that is. unless the boy friend changes her mind. We may sum it all up in the following: first in sports, first in dramatics, first in studies, and first in the hearts of her fellow students, especially ???—!• So you see how lucky we are to have Ruth in the Class of 31. Good luck from all of us. Ruth. Amanda Jane Herron “Mavda “O-o-o; darlin’!” Cheer Leader (4): Glee Club (1, 2); Jerry of Jericho Road (3): Oh! Doctor (4). Here is a sweet little maid for someone, but we think that she has already made her choice. When you first meet her. you may think her a quiet person, but after you once get acquainted to Manda” you will find her ready to partake in any fun. Amanda is also a trim little maid with social ability. She never falls short of good times—she makes the most of them. If it is at a dance, a show, or a party, she always gets everything out rf it possible—thereby having a perfect time. She is also very calm and collected when about the opposite sex. Did you say attractive? We should say so. And for this this reason Amanda has acquired many friends among both sexes, but we hear one man in particular has taken much of Amanda’s time. Amanda oft-times rumored that she would like to take up the profession of hair dressing, but we are afraid that the Western states will claim her, for this person who has already occupied quite a bit of her time has already gone West. Wherever you go and whatever you do. Amanda, make the best of it. We know you will and our best wishes go with you. James Francis Hipple Jimmy”—“Him my “Maybe I’m wrong!” Football (4); Debating Team (4); Oh! Doctor (4 ). Who is that important little personage of the class who is forever busy and just bursting forth w'ith business ability? Why. no other but Jimmy himself. In stature, the baby of the class. He might be small but he makes up for it in knowledge and therefore made a good reputation for himself in all his subjects. To lo ik at h m one would not think that he has a mad crush on a girl, and a peculiar thing about it is she is a member of our Freshmen Class, but then we suppose Jim feels that because he is so small he should select someone from the undergraduates instead of a girl from the dignified class of Seniors. Well. Jim watch your step for you know the saying. Beware of Blondes.” Jimmy sure has done his share of work for our class and therefore deserves lots rf credit. As to what he will do after he leaves C. H. S. he hasn't as yet fully decided, but the class is rooting for you. Jimmy, and we know you will be quite successful. Success to you—-1931. Millard Lester Hipple “Mill” “Me too” Football (4); Oh! Doctor (4). Here is the boy that is known for his scholastic ability, quiet attitude and a loyal member of our class. Millard is sure what one might term a very good student and sure did make an excellent showing for himself in bookkeeping and he has gained the reputation of making a perfect grade in this subject which heretofore has been an unheard of thing in C. H. S. Millard's chief hobby seems to be among the boy scouts and he is quite an active member in this organization. We also hear that Millard is also quite a lover of tea and it has been rumored that he attends many tea parties held on Sunday nights on Tenth Ave. How about it, Millard? As Millard has very little to say there is a question in our mind just what his future vocation will be. but we do know that a boy with such a go-getting habit and scholastic ability is bound to succeed. We're betting on you. Millard so go to it with our best wishes. John Lindauer Koch “Kochy” “Sez you” President of Literary Society (4); Hand (1. 2. 3. 4 ) : Football (3. 4); Oratorical Contest (3. 4); Orchestra 1. 2. 3. 4): Dulcy (4). There are always some people whom we are never afraid to ask a favor. Kochy is one of them. If at all possible, he will help you out. Kochy has a cheerful disposition and very seldom heard complaining. Throughout his years in the high school. Jack always met his duties promptly and with the right spirit. Now Jack has one very great fault and that is he never combs his hair. Consequently. his hair is always hanging in his eyes. We always fear that this may be quite disastrous to Jack, but so far he has been very fortunate in that he has been a great success in his studies and also is a very good musician, when it comes to horns. Likewise he has also made quite a name for himself during the Senior year on the football team. Because of all this, he has become very popular among both sexes and everyone enjoys having him relate his experiences regarding the shows he sees in Philadelphia? ? ? ? Jack hasn’t fully decided what he intends to do in later life but we are sure, because of his dependability and his sunny disposition, he is bound to succeed. Go to it. Jack, the Class of 1931 is with you. Emma Evelyn Kohansby “Amy” “My Word!” Here we have another of those quiet and peaceful girls. We seldom hear of anything that Emma does and as a rule she generally keeps all her secrets to herself. But no matter how quiet and reserved she appears to be. w'e feel certain that she must have another side to her life which as yet has never been heard of around the school. Even if she is rather shy when in her classes, she can’t be always this way at home and we have heard that many a time, a blue machine has been seen around her place, th? owner whose intentions seem to be centered rbout Emma. Perhaos Emma, you can explain Ihe reason for this? Therefore, we come to the conclusion that in order to have such a machine to carry one about, she surely must have done more talking than she generally does about the school. Emma is well liked by all the girls of her class and really does have a good sense of humor at times. She tells us that she intends to further her education at a business college, and we hope that when she does enter into a business career she will make a great success out of it. May your future days be as successful as they were around the high school. Page Thirty-one
