Kalph Thomas Ammon Ejsele Yes here we have Ralph, better known to his companion boys as “Honey , who was always an active member of our class. Ralph, a jolly and accommodating classmate, was with us all through our High school career. He took a great interest in athletics, especially football and baseball and was always willing to give a helping hand toward school activities, as he held the offices—Vice President of the Freshman year. Humor Editor of the Coplayite 1927-28, Humor Editor of the Annual 1928 and a member of the Varsity Club. The progress that he is making, some day he may become a general manager of a large concern. Success is yours, Ralph. Mervin Arnold Frantz “Mervie” Behold the shiek, in studies never weak. BChold! the shiek” of the class! Mervin is one of the most popular boys (especially among the girls) in the class. He was president in our Freshman anil Senior years Mervie is a good fellow all around, and is the life of the parties, for he always has a good supply of jokes. Mervin always knows his lessons, and is willing to lend a helping hand to those that need it. Mervin is undecided as to what he wants to become—maybe a doctor—but we feel certain he will be a success.

Arlene Mae Kunkle “A smile for ever girl, and two for every boy.” Arlene is t ne of our most popular girls and an active member of the Senior Class. Her most important hobbies are talking and laughing with (?). She is a necessary factor in a crowd, and is liked and enjoyed by every one, for she is a good sport. She is the President of the P. 1. Ci. for 1928, the pianoist for the orchestra for 1928 and Historian for the Coplayite Annual. Due to these admirable qualities we are sure she will be successful in her preparation to be a teacher. So here’s to her success.
