This tall well built Senior joined the present graduating class early in the grade and went through most of the ‘trials and temptations with the rest of the me nbers of said class.

May he reach the highest pinnacle of success in all he attempts. CLIFFORD PETERS “Wine, Women, and Song make men of us all. This is—well, just Pete - he doesn't need any further introduction. Yes. this is the boy with the body of a man who took much interest in sch x l work, especially athletics in which he served as guard of the football squad of '24. Not satisfied with this he soon became captain of the fcx)tball squaf of 2b. He is another good violinist and faithfully played ( n the orchestra, together with playing a leading role in the plays of ‘24 and ‘25. As a class president in ‘25 he could not be beat. He will continue the good work, we are sure. ERMA REIFINGER 44So sweet the blush of bashfulness 'This quiet, young girl is a pal to us all even though she never mingled much with her class mates. Erma about school, has not bothered much with those of the opposite sex. We hear, however, that it is different at other places. No matter how matters stand, she has left behind her a very dear memory in the hearts of her associates. She very capably served as our class treasurer this year.

Class History HE Class of 1927 entered High School as Freshmen in 1924. There were twenty-three members enrolled on that Sep-ember morning. They were as green as any other class of Freshies, and it took them until the middle of the term to become acquainted with the Customs of the High School, and settle down to work. As is usually the case they caused no end of trouble until the end of the term. Among the members there were some who turned out to be excellent athletes, proving wonderful aids to the baseball, basket ball, and football teams. In the fall, as Juniors, only sixteen returned. As Juniors we see that their first year of experience has sobered them up a bit, and they settled down to good hard work from the start. As the year was drawing to a close, fate stepped in and another member was lost to the class. Returning in the fall of 1926 they became dignified Seniors of Coplay High School, carrying themselves with dignity and ruling with iron hands the Freshies and Juniors. As the midyear was soon reached and the remaining fifteen passed, they were all excited about the oratorical contest. Finally this was passed, then came the exams and Commencement, and the Class of 1927 passed out into the world to uphold its high ideals, and honor. May they succeed in all their undertakings and make others as proud of them as Coplay High is, and may their high standard be used as a goal to which other classes might strive to reach.
