CLARENCE CHRISTMAN “Christy “Oh, he’s little, but he’s wise, He’s a terror for his size.” This young man will not need an introduction, because of his popularity. He has cultivated a winning personality. Although he held no offices and has not taken part in athletics, we are proud of him. “Christy” has studied diligently since his entrance into High School and expects to become an engineer. The Class of 1925 wishes you success in whatever you may undertake. ELWOOD DOTTER “Dotter “Dotter,” as he is often called, hails from Kresgeville. He was very bashful when he came to the town of Coplay, but he soon forgot that. He played baseball in his Junior year and in his Senior year he was all over the diamond chasing the ball. The first year of football for Coplay High School, 1924, found Dotter captain of the team. He showed much skill and was in every fight. He devotes some of his time to the opposite sex but is always in for athletics. GEORGE J. MILLER “Georgie” George Miller, one of the best known among the pupils of the High School, is liked by everybody. In his Freshman year, he was President of the class and member of the Student Council. In the Junior year, he was President of the class and was always looked upon as a leader in all activities. In the Senior year he was President of the Varsity Club, which he helped to form. He took an active part in the Dramatic Club and was manager of the football team. When he was manager of the football team, he was often called “Doc” Miller, because he was alwa—• there when somebody was hurt. He was captain of the baseball team for two years. He always liked to argue and was one of the best debaters in the High School.

WILMER E. KUNKLE Dip “Dip” was the tallest member of the class, as well as our “shiekiest” Shiek. However it was not until his Senior year that he paid attention toward the weak- €T SGX. Although “Dip” didn’t take a leading part in the social and athletic functions until his last year, he showed his “stuff on the school eleven and the papers often told of “Stocking-less” Kunkle smashing through the line. In his Junior year, Wilmer was circulation manager of the Coplayite, and was one of the Oratorical contest speakers, besides being a member of the “Varsity Club.” JOHN HORN Horny The artist of our class became a member in 1920. He had hitherto lived at Philadelphia, but some unknown person whom we call Fate directed his footsteps to Coplay. Our first impression of him was that of a quiet boy, but as the years passed he became a gay chum and a cheerful booster. In our Freshman year he held the office of Treasurer. The last two years he featured as a star football player, together with the strenuous task of “catcher” on the baseball team. The years have greatly changed our opinions of him and we are ready to go out of school with him as a companion. ROY NEWHART “Tippy “Tippy” is that bashful boy that entered our class in 1923. At times when things looked blue and dead, he was the one to save the day by repeating some ioke or wittv phrase. Although Roy does not boast of a melodious voice, he says in the future his strong bass voice will be of more value to him, for he intends to become a great orator. I’m sure every one wishes him success.

Glass History I Tt was a bright morning in September that twenty-seven Freshmen entered Coplav High School. We were a group of boys and girls, some noisy and frolicking, others sedate and quiet, all enthusiastic seekers of knowledge. After a few difficulties we got used to the routine of work. We were organized into a class soon after we had taken up our studies. Electing in our Freshman year, George Miller, President; Charles Moritz, Vice President; Margaret Stefany, Secretary, and John Horn, Treasurer. In our Junior year, Ray Newhart, President; Margaret Stefany, Secretary, and Elda Peters, Treasurer. In the Senior year Heloise Miller became President, Florence Geist, Secretary, and Margaret Stefany, Treasurer. These officers were all efficient and capable, for we under their guidance thrived and progressed rapidly. The Orchestra and Glee Club flourished under the support given them by the students of our class. In athletics there were not the greatest honors of the school bestowed upon us, but there was valuable material furnished with which we could organize a Baseball team, and in the Senior year our first Football team. As a result of the progress of Athletics the Senior boys organized a Varsity Club electing as their president, George Miller. Several of our members were also chosen for the “ Coplayite staff. When we attained the dignity of Seniors we took the reins of the school and upheld this dignity with all the honor and respect due it. We tried our best to meet the demands which were put upon us. We have been, and hope we will continue to be an everlasting honor to C. H. S. May we, previously unmindful of our instructors, ever realize the debt we owe them. After bidding a last sad farewell to Coplay High School and our associates there, may we pass into the world as honorable alumni. “Bright stars of Coplay High Shine on. Shine on forever; All aims in our Redeemer lie Until we cross Life’s river.” —Florence Geist.
