CLASS HISTORY The (’lass of 1923 began in the lower grades of the Coplay schools, where all but one of its members learned the A B C’s. On entering High School as freshman in the year of 1920 there were sixteen in the class, and after getting acustomed to the different class rooms and general confusion at the beginning of the school term they settled down to hard school work. The first year passed almost before they were aware of it and when the class enrolled the next fall (1921) several of its former members were missing. The members that were missing sought work and thought it better than going to school. Nearing the close of thesecond year in High School the number was again decreased by the death of one of its best members. Coming back as Seniors in the Fall of 1922 we found only ten Freshmen with us. At the close of the Senior year all were confronted by the examinations of the faculty. But their tears were transformed into joy when they found that they had gone down deep enough into the gerat well of knowledge to receive the ticket for their next great adventure.
