 Make the girls basket ball team if possible, but don't try to have a date on the same night. Disastrous results will be sure to follow. Don’t think you are leaving your mark in the ball of learning by carving your names on the desks. Sandpaper and varnish are very expensive. In conclusion we would give you three rules that are guaranteed to bring success. The first is study; the second is study; the third is— study. Arlene Kunkle ’28. ■ 1

Advice To Under Classmates the Seniors of 1928, salute you who are soon to take our places. You have our sympathy for knowing from close association and observation, your limitations as a class. We understand how difficult it is for you to maintain our high standard of scholarship and attainments. You have an extremely difficult role, but do not be discouraged. We want to assure you that if you will improve your deportment; if you will work up more class pep and school spirit; if you will develop greater executive ability; if you will cut out idleness and frivolity; if you will increase your oratorical ability; if you will broaden your athletic propensities—in short, if you will try to be a little more like us, we will feel confident you will fill our places in quite a credible manner. Just a word of warning—don’t imagine you can put anything over on faculty. You have an extremely difficult role, but do not be discouraged. If you will put more time on school work you will fill our places satisfactorily. “True greatness is within and not without.” Never, oh! never run in the halls. Neither shall ye congregate in the halls; from such are the bad conduct grades made. Never miss a step in climbing the stairs, because “It isn’t fair to the step that is missed.” Competition in squeaks is great. Take plenty of exercise—that is to develop your legs, arms and brains, but don’t imagine your jaws need to be developed by chewing gum. The teachers can’t afford to chew gum, so they don’t like to see you chew it.

Junior Class History t was on a fair September morn in ’ 20 when our jolly group of twenty-six entered the Freshman Class of the Coplay High School. Upon entering the new school term our jolly and carefree group was soon put to the realization of the duties set before a Freshman. However, it took us but a very short time to get acquainted with those and our new environment. And after adopting our new titles of “Fresh and Green” without the least hesitancy, we commenced at once to live up to our duties. After several months had passed our obliging class soon won a place in the hearts of our companions and ’ere the term was nigh , the “Fresh and Green” had disappeared— leaving instead a most obliging and studious Freshman class. The following year which was ’27, our same group came back (with the exception of four) to take our place as Juniors. The Junior year proved to be very successful, as the class participated in many school activities, and after conducting a bazaar of our own, our trustworthiness and ability was soon fixed in the minds of our fellowmen. Then again our class had very little misfortune during the entire year, and lost but one member, thus leaving twenty-one remaining. The remaining girls being full of the school spirit, organized an II. G. Club, bearing the motto “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and are trying their best to live up to this wise saying. The boys in turn showed their school spirit by joining in the Athletics. Still our class kept on being featured in various events and activities and when the school play entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking” was rendered the Junior Class showed what they could do in the line of dramatics.
