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

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 AND GOLD and we know from the selections we heard him render in our auditorium programs that he surely will be a success in this line of work. We’re confident that with this quality. Charles will never be listed among the missing. Samuel Sidney McCloy “Sid “Gee willigers!” Who is that person coming down the street on a bicycle? Why. it must be. it is. our Sidney. This is how Sidney got his nickname. Bicycle Sam because no matter whether it rains or shines, one could always find him riding his wheel to school. Sidney is also a proud owner of two big eyes and is gifted with the ability to roll them and has made many a girl's heart beat a little faster. But as to his preference among the fair sex. he has never revealed this secret to any of us. Sam has always been known around the school for his likeable nature and is also known as a good typist which should make him a very efficient worker for some business man. As to what he intends to do. we were never able to find out, but we know he will make a big success and our wishes go with him from the Class of 1931. Merrill Lawrence Metz “Dutch” “Oh, yeah!” Treasurer of Class (3, 4): Blue and Gold Staff (4). Behold the senior of our class and a lot of credit goes to Merrill for the way he handles the class finances. Metz is generally known for his drawl way of speaking and has created many a laugh by his. Aw well. To look at Metzy one would think that he lacks pep and ambition, but looks are deceiving at times which is true with this young man for he really is an excellent student and also finds lots of time to discuss baseball in a big way especially when it comes to the Athletics. He also spends quite a bit of his spare time in kidding the young ladies and since they all seem to like it he has become very popular among all his fellow classmates. At times he is very quiet and serious but then one could not expect him to carry on forever. He has done a very successful job in our commercial course and we feel sure that he will be as successful in the business world as he was in bookkeeping and typing classes. We are all for you Metzy. so let’s get going. Violet Dorothy Mrozek “Vi” “Honest to John!” Behold, the girl with a thousand giggles and who is always the center attraction of many an uproar, for Violet is full of fun and laughter. Violet, besides being a good student in school, is also quite a capabale driver of an automobile. But when driving she always generally has one trouble and that is dodging the many dogs that keep running in front of the machine. So far she has been very fortunate in never hitting any of them for which we are all very thankful. Now Vi is known to travel quite frequently to Chester and we wonder. Violet if it is always to see the young undertaker who resides there? If so there ought to be good team work between the two of you because his business ought to unquestionably improve if you continue in your art of driving. Violet intends being a stenog. unless—well, anyway the Class of ’31 wishes you lots of luck and happiness in whatever you attempt to do. Margaret Sylvia Murray “Sis” “Holy Mackerel” Basketball (3. 4); Glee Club (3); Jerry of Jericho Road (3); Oh! Doctor (4). To krow her is to like her. For Margaret is one of the girls of our class who has a cheery smile for everyone. Sis always makes one feel great after you've been with her for a while because of her sunny and peppy disposition. But here of late we find Margaret quite calm and really in the act of day-dreaming, at times. Sis. we wonder why ? ? Is it because of Love or in love? But we have drawn our own conclusions and combine the tw'o and say it’s in love with Love. For we have frequently seen her riding around in a Ford machine besides other things that take place in the class room. But all kidding aside Margaret is a good sport also a good student and athlete, and will some day make someone an excellent stenographer—if she gets that far? ? ? ? ? Evelyn Virginia Phillips “Ev “Holy Mackerel” Basketball (3, 4); Oh! Doctor (3); Jerry of Jericho Road (4); Glee Club (1, 2. 3); Cheer Leader (4); Blue and Gold Staff (4). Listen to her! She certainly can talk—fast— long—and furiously although she says she never talks but she has the entire class stopped when it comes to fast talking. She is known as one of our best girl athletes, cheer leaders, dancers, and what have you. She has served on endless numbers of property committees and has gained a reputation as being the best saleslady of the class especially when it comes to tickets and advertisements. Evelyn has one of those rare personalities and she surely comes in for her share of attention. She says she is going to be a stenographer but we feel sure that Ken will have something to say about that for surely her riding around in his Ford means something. But whatever path you choose Evelyn, the Class of 31 extends its best wishes to you. Albert Hannum Riker “Bert “Tend to business” Football (2. 3. 4); Baseball (3. 4); Jerry of Jericho Road (3); Oh! Doctor (4); Skidding (3): It's the Climate (4); Dulcy (4); Orchestra (2. 3); Blue and Gold Staff (4); Band (2. 3). Ho. Ho, Ho! ! ! What on earth is that terrific noise. Nothing else but Albert Prince Riker laughing at another one of the many jokes he hears about the high school. To know him is to like him because Bert sure is full of fun and everyone seems to have a good time when he is about. Bert has made quite a name for h'mself on the football field and could often be seen fighting his way to victory with his own two fists. Bert has had a very happy career during his stay in C. H. S. His one weakness is women —not one but many. And one could always tell the next morning when Bert was out with a new flame for he always sat in school with that far-away look in his eyes as if he was thinking. I wonder if she likes me? Sure, they do Bert, so why worry about it. Bert is also a good student about the school and has made a name for himself in dramatic lines. As to what he intends to do when he finishes school, we are not certain. but we do know with such personality and perseverance, he is bound to succeed in whatever he attempts to do. Success to you Bert, old boy. from your classmates of 1931. Page Thirty-three
