WILLIAM H. SHETLOCK. SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL ALLEN L. ROTH SCEINCE AND MATHEMATICS ANNIE C. CONAGHAN DOMESTIC SCIENCE JOHN A RUTH LANGUAGES AND HISTORY LIONEL FARNEY ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR Seniors EVELYN PETERS ‘ A ndy ’ ’ She is a very enthusiastic bit of sunshine which seems to penetrate and illuminate all the dark clouds coming her way. We know she never really gets angry at a friend, but merely “peeved,” as she calls it. Her striking personality attracts not only females but also males, who class her among the charming group of friends. She is constantly full of “pep,” and vigorous exercise taken daily renders her capable of fulfilling her wishes, which are always desirable. LOUISE F. HORN Commercial Louise, who entered our 'class in 7th Grade, was always a cheerful companion of ours. She was a faithful worker, and while a Freshman she was very bashful, but now she has changed a great deal. Louise usually served as a refreshment stand for her classmates. She expects to continue her course at the Kutztown Normal School, and we wish her success. CHARLES 11. RODGERS General ‘ ‘ Teddy’’ When the portals of C. II. S. opened in 1922 to admit us into the rolls of the school, we found in our midst a diminutive boy by the name of Charles Rodgers. Teddy leaves a quiet reputable record, being president of our class for two years, an Oratorical Contest speaker, and advertising manager of the Coplayite. He intends to become a draftsman. We know he will be a success. EVELYN M. MILLER Academic Evelyn was always a quiet student. She is a good scholar and is always ready to lend a helping hand to any of her classmates, her motto being “Work while you work, and play while you play.’’ She was secretary of her class during tin? three years, also secretary of the Literary Society in her Junior year and Critic during her Senior year. Being a prize speaker at the Oratorical Contest and one of the honor group shows that she was one of the few in her class who devoted most of her time to her stuilies. GRACE ELIZABETH LANE General Grace entered High School a bashful and quiet girl, but we have changed our opinion of her. She is one of the most care-free and lovable girls of the class, and has a great capacity for knowledge (also for dancing). Her greatest hobby is walking, and it is a well-known fact that she can do it. One of her greatest ambitions is to teach domestic science, and since it is her favorite study, we know she will make good in her chosen profession. .JAMES WALTER PETERS Academic Jimmie entered our class in the Freshman year and was ready to take office ns President of our class, which he held till the end of his Senior year. As a Freshman, “Jimmie” was very bashful, but found out it did not pay and so joined in with the rest. From his Freshman year he adopted his name “Jimmie.” We have never seen Jimmie accompany the gentler sex until the Senior year. HILDA ARTINGER Miss Hilda Artinger, one of the quiet members of the class, is very studious. She found the highest seat in the typewriting class and has been overjoyed with the fact. Hilda has taken the Commercial course, but the lure of the hospital is so strong in her that we hope to see her in a few years as the assistant of Dr.---! Her greatest joy, however, is horse back riding. Miss Artinger was one of the speakers of the Oratorical Contest and is at present Literary Editor of the Coit.ayitk and treasurer of the class. CLASS H1STOR1J H THE ('hiss of 1!)24 entered High School as Freshmen in 15)21. There were fifteen members enrolled, six boys and nine girls. After becoming acquainted with the customs of the High School we settled down to hard work. The Freshmen year passed rapidly and vacation time was here. On returning next fall several of our members had dropped out and there were only eight members remaining to face another year of study. As the Junior year was drawing to a close, another one of our class left us. On returning as Seniors in the fall of 1923, there were only seven members enrolled. We were confronted with an Oratorical Contest, the preparation of an annual and lastly the final examinations. We were all happy when these were over and we are now ready to take an active part in the work of the world. Charles Rogers, ’24.

The following: are the speeches which were given at the Commencement Exercises held in the Pastime Theatre on June 5. CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS Evelyn Miller CORRUPTION in public offices is not a new subject, but has forcibly been brought to the minds of the people through the recent Oil scandal, which is but an isolated case involving many officials of the government and revealing conditions of graft of which the people have little or perhaps no conception. Looking back over the previous administrations we find that corruption was especially noticeable during Grant’s administration, for the unsettled conditions of the country furnished a great opportunity for dishonesty. At this time, our state legislatures and municipal governments fell into the hands of “corrupt” rings. The notorious “Boss” Tweed robbed the city of New York of millions of dollars before he closed his career in the Ludlow Street jail in 1878. Secretary of War, Belknap, resigned in order to escape impeachment for sharing the graft from the dishonest management of army posts in the West. The president’s private secretary, Babcock, was implicated in frauds which robbed the government of its revenue tax in whiskey. Western stagecoach lines, in league with corrupt post-office officials, made false returns of the amount of business done along their routes, and secured large appropriations from congress for carrying the mails. Some of these “pet routes” cost the government thousands of dollars annually. Members of Congress even so far lost their sense of official propriety so as to accept large amounts of railroad stock as “a present” from men who wanted legislative favors for their roads. Corruption has been found to be present at all places, at all times, in kingdoms, empires and republics, more prevalent, however, in republics. The most important thing about the recent Scandal is the revelation of that heretofore intangible thing called by Theodore Roosevelt “invisible” government and by Woodrow Wilson, the “invisible” empire. Invisible government, tin curse of American politics for nearly half a century, has baffled the progress of our free institutions; it has, repeatedly, nullified the verdict of the American people at the ballot box. Surreptitiously, it purchases the talents of men of great influence in all political parties to promote its greedy and selfish ends. It supports corrupt, not party, politics. It knows neither Democrat nor Republican. It writes meaningless phrases in political platforms to cajole the writers and it knows but one party—the party in power. It has oftentimes been said, also, that organized wealth has for many years, under Republican and Democratic administrations, alike, controlled the government of the United States through precisely the same methods. The deplorable thing is that this instance of bribery and corruption at the cost of the people and the government is not alone nor singular. Bribery is everywhere at work. The virus has infected every part of the body politics. It poisons the courts, the legislatures, the Congress and the Cabinet ministry. This political immorality which has forecast the ruin of nations throughout all history is beginning to rear its head in our own United States. The vast wealth produced annually by the people is an inexhaustible source of plunder which never ceases day or night. This constant plundering is based on the bribery of accessible politicians. For it could not exist without the control of some of the people’s representatives in the National, State, County and Municipal governments. These corruptionists, as they are commonly called, exercise such a control that they finance electio?) expenses of candidates and make contributions to political bosses who hand out nominations. With these corruptionists, these public plunderers, these political bosses, politics is a business in which corruption and “pull” are capitalized at millions upon millions. But how can this corruption in all offices be cured? First of all. the truth, the whole truth, must be brought out and when that truth is revealed the American people will be confident that corruption will be very rare, in fact, practically blotted out of the channels of government. In the meantime, however, every level-headed citizen can do a public service by upholding the hands of the chief-magistrate of the United States, by setting his will and word against unsupported rumor and by facing every corruptionist with a calm refusal to be stamped into forgetting the rules of common decency to one’s fellow-man. If the people at large, the women voters, the millions of church members, really want morality and efficiency in official life; if they really wish peace instead of war; if they actually prefer the reign of good will and fair-dealing in national affairs, they can get them. How? By demanding them and by letting those servants to whom they have entrusted their public interests know constantly that the individual and collective consciences of the nation are not dormant but alert and ready for action. The present situation demands patriotic not partisan action. If we are to preserve democratic institutions and maintain the confidence of the people in the Republic, their disclosures are in vain if they do not stir us to a realization of the absolute necessity to rid our political parties and this government, OF tin people FOR the people and BY the people, of these sinister influences. TIIE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1924. J. W. Peters THE time is rapidly approaching for another Presidential election. Political bosses are forming the platform of their party and preparing their candidates for the field. Various would-be Presidents are addressing assemblies stating their ideas and urging citizens to vote for them. The Presidential election is of the utmost importance, for by it we choose our executive for Ihe coming four years. The election to be held this year is of more than ordinary importance, for the next President will go into office confronted with such problems whose solution will depend, to a certain extent, on our prosperity in the coming years. It is necessary that we improve conditions for the farmer if agriculture, our fundamental industry, is to be maintained. Also a relief from the severe tax burden will be required. The next President is likely to be confronted with a coal strike and let us hope the settlement of it will prove the first severe test of bis administration. The main issue on which the candidates shall fight is an issue between government as a means of securing the welfare of the public, or the government as a means of promoting private interest. Both political parties have been seriously injured by the Teapot Dome disclosures and both need a thorough cleaning. It is the duty of tlx next President to establish confidence in his party. He must free it from those forces whose conception of the administration is to rob the public and to secure the aims of their party. These are some of the tasks which confront the new President. A person in order to vote properly should know something of the character of the candidates who are in the field. Let us then take into consideration the most important men and compare them, giving their ideas on political matters and their fitness for the Presidential chair. Among the most important and best fitted men we might class our present President. Coolidge is the most fortunate and most unfortunate of our public men. lie is fortunate that his past can not be attacked, that lie has reached his office through hard work and not through any discreditable means. His reputation as a president will depend entirely upon the way he handles the Teapot Oil scandal, lie may fail and lose the election or win and be nominated. He may use the Republican party as a tool to accomplish public ends. If the public does not find such leadership in the White House now, they will seek for it elsewhere. Coolidge then above other candidates stands in the best position to be elected. As another important Republican candidate we might place Senator Hiram Johnson of California who has established a good record for himself even though lie is not well known by the public. He has served six years as governor of California, as well as Senator for two terms. If he is nominated he can fight the election on his own personal record no matter what the platform of the party might be. This, however, does not mean that he is a man without a platform. He fully understands that a man without principles can make no effective public appeal. He is marked as a man who stays on the job. Golf has no attractions for him. He is a man of decision, not impulsive, but decisive. Such a record should give him a fair chance in the nomination. The Democratic party has come into power several times in the last fifty years due to the fact that the public suspected the private interest of the Republican party. No radical Democrat has ever been elected since the Civil War, but a sound liberal could restore the Democratic party. Among the names who suggest themselves we have Oscar Underwood and William McAdoo. Mr. Underwood has been before the public for the Presidency in 1912, but perhaps he was stronger at that time than he is now for he is not well liked by the prohibitionists or women voters. Mr. Underwood is a man of brilliant qualities having served in both the House and Senate. His reputation is based mainly on his mastery of tariff legislation and his skill as a leader. Mr. Underwood’s qualifications are materially the same now as they were in 1912, only time has more fully impressed the qualities that made him a leading candidate at that time, lie was also a delegate to the armament conference at Washington. Bryan has always been his bitter opponent and this might be regarded as unsuitable to him as a candidate when Big Business is likely to be an unpopular issue. Underwood is not a party man. He never hunts trouble, but when once in it, fights to the end. However, despite this fine record, Underwood has been before the public too long and is too well known to fill the President’s office. William McAdoo is also a promising candidate as can be seen by his sweeping victory in the Georgia primaries where he defeated Underwood by a two to one popular vote. It was stated by an Atlanta paper that this eliminates Underwood as a serious contender for the nomination. McAdoo holds a statesmanly and historic record of service to his country, being a tenacious fighter and having a heart winning personality. Another paper says that they cannot see anything strong in his victory and that some other candidate can be found in the long list of deserving Democrats. In the coming elections, therefore, the citizens of this country should use the best judgment possible in choosing their President for their decision at the polls this year will determine our national destiny during the coming four. PUBLIC FUNDS AND IIOW USED Hilda Artinger OF all the various problems of the government none affects and interests the people more intimately than the problem of taxation. Taxes are considered by some as a burden which must be shouldered by all people both rich and poor alike. Before the war taxes were normal, but during the war taxes have been increased considerably. Numerous surtaxes have been levied but are gradually becoming smaller as the debts of the war are being paid. It is one of the problems of the government today to find the means to remedy the present system of taxation without financial embarrassment to the government and at the same time prove satisfactory to all classes. The most popular plan today is the one submitted by Secretary of the Treasury, Mellon, but of which there is some doubt of its passage by Congress. This plan would mean a reduction of tin taxes by more than three hundred million dollars. But the most interesting phase of this discussion of taxes is the expenditures of the tax money by the government. Recently the government issued statistics which ought to interest every American citizen. It is estimated that sixtv-eight percent, of the public fund goes to wars that have already been fought . We are still paying the debt incurred by these wars which were originally started by nations that took pride in the fact that they were among the more advanced and civilized nations. Tn looking back over the expenditures made during the late World War we can see what an enormous amount of money was taken out of the treasury. Some of the facts of the last Wilson administration as revealed by a Congressional investigating committee gives us only a slight or approximate idea of what was taken out of the treasury. $176,000,000 spent on poison gas and powder plants which produced neither gas nor powder. $4,000,000 for ships which were not in use, and hundreds of ships were sold at a small fraction of the cost. Furthermore $1,051,000,000 was spent for aircraft construction and $1,191,000,000 for artillery with the result of having only 3,214 aeroplanes and 133 American-made guns on the firing lines at the date of the armistice. $8,000,000 of the people’s money was used in partisan administration propaganda, and President Wilson spent over $1,691,000 on his trip to Paris, a loose accounting for which was made upon the insistent demand of Congress. This was the price paid for President Wilson’s signature to the treaty which the American people repudiated at the first opportunity, the treaty itself having brought untold suffering to humanity without the slightest compensation to the American people. These facts are not given to belittle President Wilson’s administration, but to show how the public funds were used to pay war debts. As a result of war and to reward the veterans for their sacrifices, liberal pensions are paid. During President Harding’s administration a bill for the increase of pensions was passed by both Houses, but when it was subbitted to the President for his signature, it was vetoed. Recently it was again brought before President Coolidge, but he also vetoed i as his predecessor had done. The passage of this bill means a considerable increase in the sixty-eight percent, used to pay off the old war debts. President Coolidge says that the expenditure of sixty-eight percent, of the taxes must be diminished and not increased. The burden on the taxpayer at the present time is heavy enough and unless taxes can be raised by revenues Pres. Coolidge does not see his way clear to sign the pension bill. This bill would have meant a fifty-eight million dollar increase in our taxes. The bonus bill which had been an important issue since the World War was recently passed by Congress over the president’s veto. This will, no doubt, greatly increase the debt that is yet to lx paid for past wars. Out of the public treasury is taken twenty-five percent, of the taxes which is appropriated for the improvement of our naval defense and the army, or in other words, for future wars, when it could be used for better purposes. The taxpayer who shoulders the burdens of the taxes receives in turn only six percent, for his welfare. It is rather astounding when one contemplates the fact that ninety-nine percent, of the taxes are expended for past and possible future wars. One would think the intelligence of the nations would arouse itself and face the situation squarely. Had it been possible to settle these questions of honor in the past by other means than by the blood, our country with all her glory, would be more glorious still, in view of the fact that that the money eaten up by that great menace—WAR—could have been devoted to the welfare and peace of its people. And to the future—to posterity—is given the balance of the taxes which amounts to one percent. One percent, for the education of the young people—the future citizens and rulers of this land. The American public does not want to shirk the responsibilities of the taxes, but the American public does want to have the taxes used for a good purpose and used properly. SCHOOL ROTES Evelyn Peters, Editor, ’24. A motion picture, “Silas Marnerwas shown to the school children of both schools in the Pastime Theatre on May 2. The picture is very educational and is a classic in the High School. The Annual County Prize Speaking Contest was held at Coopers-burg, April 25. The contestants were divided into two groups. First group consisting of three year High School pupils and second group consisting of four year High School pupils. Evelyn Peters was chosen as C. II. S. representative at the Contest and was the winner of first prize in the first group. The Music Department of the Coplay Public School presented a musical play entitled “The Shut-Up Posey,” in the Pastime Theatre, May 8. 1924. Mrs. James DeGroot, Director of Music.

The Carnival and Bazaar held May 23rd and 24th, proved to be a grand success. This is a good example of team work and co-operation. It proves that where these two factors exist, success is inevitable. Let’s apply them a little bit more in all our school functions, including class-room work. The following is the Base-ball schedule and its results: May 6th Whitehall High School—away............7 — 1 (lost) May 9th Whitehall High School—away............6 — 0 (lost) May 14th Emaus High School—away................4 — 0 (lost) May 28th Northampton High School—away..........6 — 0 (lost) There are still a few games to be played. We feel sure that the item listed in the parentheses will spell w-o-n. The fact that these teams are all of four year high schools enables us to take these defeats with less discouragement.
