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

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 Jane Placida Kowalkowski Ike “You wouldn’t kid a pal, would you?” basketball (3. 4). Who is that girl with so many alibis? None other than Jane. She has so many alibis that she has gained for herself the name “Alibi Ike.' Jane drives a big Packard and I might say that another of her nicknames is “Speedy for according to all reports her father has had to pay quite a few fines for speeding. But at that Jane is a good cport and she is always willing to do a good turn fcr anyone around the school. She is also athletically inclined and she has made a name for herself in this line. We wonder what Jane is going to do after graduating in the line of a vocation. She may go to college or she may be a stenographer but we don’t know because you see a green Plymouth Chrysler is running out Fayette Street quite frequently. But anyway Jane, whichever you choose you have best wishes and good luck from the Class of 1931. John Knight Light Jack “Going to Norristown, Tommy?” Football (3. 4); Bells of Beaujolais (1): Bells of Capistrano (2): Jerry of Jericho Road (3); Oh! Doctor (4); Skidding (3): It’s the Climate (4): Dulcy (4): Orchestra (1); Band (1, 2); Cheer Leader (4). What-ho! What have we here? 'Tis a very active young man in dramatics possessing unique acting ability and a very fine voice. Did we hear you say who? Well, no other than John Knight Light—alias Lighty. He has been in most of the plays since he entered C. H. S. acting parts from mischievous boys to the perfect lover, and he surely has gained experiencce in this way. in knowing women. Now John really his one fault and that is. he loves to argue, and never seems to gain his point in C. H. S. But he must be succeeding in Nrrr'stown because he is seen quite frequently w.th Carter and Snonar in that vicinty. “Jaw.i, who is this attentive person who will listen to your arguments? Surely it's not Tommy or Ralph. Well, John, we know that this acting ab lity and your ability to argue will be a great helo to you at Mercers-burg. and we feel sure that you ought to make the Dramatic and Debating teams. Go to it. Lighty, talk your way up, but never down. We. the Class of 1931, wish you great success and hope to hear excellent reports regarding you. Rebecca Elizabeth Lobb Becky “Hum” Debating Team (3); Glee Club (2); Blue and Gold Staff (4); Treasurer of Literary Society (4). Who is that person pounding so furiously on that typewriter? Why that's Becky, one of our star typists and general office workers. But even though Becky is a wonder in stenographic work, she has leanings towards an entirely different subject, for example. Chrysler roadsters. How about it. Rebecca? Even though Becky is very quiet and studious she sometimes lets go and when she does you are bound to know it because she is full of fun and pep. Becky entertains the idea of being someone’s secretary but sometimes when Chrysler roadsters enters into one’s life it surely does upset all other plans. But we hope. Rebecca, that you will still continue on as you had planned to do. so here's wishing you luck and success in your future work as someone's stenographer. Paje Thirty-two Howard Earl Love “Lovie” “Scram” Basketball (2. 3, Captain. 4); Baseball (1, 2, 3. 4); Football (1. 2, 3. 4); Bells of Beaujolais (1) , Bells of Capistrano (2); Jerry of Jericho Road (8); Oh! Doctor (4); Skidding (3); It’s the Climate (4): Vice-President of Class (2). Every class has a good looking young man who takes the romantic parts in the plays and operettas, here’s ours. Earl is an active young man in dramatics; and he has also won great fame in football, basketball and baseball. Can he pitch, and how. but perhaps it is due to the fact that he had a peppy rooter on the side lines who was betting on him to win the game. Yes, “Lovie really is a lover of the fair sex and has always kept us in suspense since the Freshman year as to who the next lucky girls would be. But at last we are at ease, for we feel that “Sis is his final choice. But. at that. Earl was always a willing worker around the school for one who had so many activities to handle especially a girl, and we know that when he gets out in the business world, he will be as successful as he was in C. H. S. But, then, why shouldn’t he be with such a charming lass as “Margaret to cheer him on. Attain your aims. Earl, the world needs you. John Robert Lukens “Bob — Luke “Gotta Gof?” Football (3. 4); Basketball (4): Track (3); Baseball (3); Bells of Capistrano (2); Oh! Doctor (4); It’s the Climate (4); Dulcy (4). Who made that wise remark? Lukens. of course. Lukens is lots of fun and always ready to promote its cause. He is care-free happy-go-lucky, liked by all. and above all madly in love. Bob is a fellow who is going to startle the world some day because he is full of schemes which is generally proven to us in biology class and in Room 6. He is a very polite chap having a very swaive appearance and is a pleasant companion fcr anyone. It has only been during his last year that Bob has paid any particular attention to the cpp s'te sex. And when he fell, he fell with a terrible bang. As we all know. Bob pays particular attention to a certain member of our class and Ruth surely does enjoy the attention given her. Bob also might be considered a good athlete, but it seems that luck was always against him when he was making quite a name for himself. He sure can be termed to go-getting kid and when there was any work to be done for the class. Bob surely did his part. Therefore, we are sure that after leaving C. H. S. he will be quite a success in the business w'orld. And since he has been such a regular fellow, our best wishes of the Class of 1931 goes with him. Charles Stewart McCarron Met 'ttrron” “Hello pal” Orchestra (1, 2, 3. 4); Debating Team (2, 3. 4 » ; Band (1. 2. 3. 4). Here he is, folks, the violinist and typist of the class. When the spirit moves him, Charlie surprises us with his typing ability. Again, upon an inspiration, he can produce some melodious sounds on his violin. Charlie’s chief hobby seems to be that of walking into class late and overwhelming the class with his bright colors, especially his ties. Now, we all wonder. Charles, if you wear them for our benefit or for the benefit of the young lady in the Junior Class. Surely there must be some reason for all this elaborateness of dress. Charlie's chief ambition lies in that of music although he has been a member of the commercial course. We feel sure that he intends to follow up his talents in music
