Elizabeth C. Gross “Hetty” Blithesome and Kay, All throuRh the day.” Naturally the class of ’30 would not be complete without this jolly lass, with her bright philosophical attitude toward her studies. Betty, who hails from Slatedale, entered the Coplay Schools in her second year. However, she did not become a member of our class, until in the seventh year, after receiving a double promotion. Of course Betty is one of Coplay High’s few experienced drivers. She has given the girls so many thrills with her Ford that they are really considering taking out Life Insurance policies. As yet, Betty’s masculine affinity has not succeeded in inducing her to chew gum. “Betts” is undecided as to what she intends to study next year, but she thinks it will be Dental Hygiene. Whatever she undertakes the class of 1930 extends their heartiest wishes to her for success. Academic Course. Dramatics, 10, 11. DebatinK, 11. Oratorical Contest, 11. Treasurer of Class, 10. Secretary of Class, 11. Louise I). Gruver “Kelly” Quiet, studious and obedient—that’s Kelly in school; When not—“Do unto others as they do unto you” is her Golden Rule. Behold! the brains of the Senior Class. “Kelly” is a very quiet girl, and devotes most of her time to studying. But if there’s a good time to be had, Kelly can always be counted on. Kelly also played an important part in many school activities. That she has the ability and can use it is sure. We recall she was one of the “Lucky Nine” who were able to skip a grade, and to her credit, she made good, choosing the Academic Course during her stav at C. H. S. Louise expects to become a Mathematic and Social Science teacher, and with her “flying” start we know she’ll pull through. Success and good luck, “Kelly.” Academic Course. DebatinK, 3, 4.

Coplayite Staff (Annual) 4. Charles W. Johnston “Shorty” Sometimes he’s happy, sometimes he’s blue. His disposition depends on who 111 Shorty as he is known to almost all of the class is a hail fellow—well met. He toils not, but boy how he does spin, especially on the Football field. However don’t get the idea that “Shorty” is a poor scholar, not at all, he is an honor student as well as an all around athlete and good fellow. “Shorty’s” pastime consists of driving Essex’s and motorcycles, though he also seems to think a lot of Ford coupes (oh-oh)! Shorty expects to become a “saw bones” eventually after he leaves school and the class of ’30 wishes him good luck. Leb’ Whohl Herr Johnston, Coplay High will miss you. Academic Course.

Dorothy M. Bennett “Dot” “When laughter is ringing in the air You can be sure, Dorothy is there.” A Dot is usually placed at the end of a thought but that is just where our Dot differs from all the others. This popular miss always found time for fun but you can be sure she never neglected her studies. This is proven by the fact that she is a very brilliant Stenog, being the best girl typist in our High School. Then too there is her debating ability, shown by her two years of successful debating, bringing about victories for her Alma Mater which would not have otherwise resulted. Dorothy’s aim is to be “Somebody’s Stenog.” The class of 1930 wishes you success Dot. Commercial. Member of Coplayite Staff, 10. Oratorical Contest, 11. Debating, 11, 12. Associate Editor of the Annual, 12. Dorothy M. Frickert “Dot” She’s full of laughs and giggles, She has a heart that’s true. Each girl she meets receives a smile, Hut every boy gets two. Take a bundle of mirth, add a pinch of kindness and flavor it with friendship and that’s our “Dot.” Dot has proven herself to be a very important factor in the Senior “gang.” She was in on every one of its many tricks and when punishment came she stood by the rest like a good soldier. Aside from her frolicsome moments, Dot found time for study and due to this she has become a very proficient Stenog., also being one of those to skip a grade. Some day Dot hopes to be “Somebody’s Stenog” and we know she will succeed. Here’s luck and happiness. Commercial. Oratorical Contest, 11. Dramatics, 10, 11, 12. Sec. Athletic Association, 10. Associate Editor of the Annual, 12. Elda A. Gernerd Elda with the eyes that smile And lips that are laughing all the while. Elda spent all of her school days in Coplay, as the majority of us did and was one of the few to skip a grade during her school career, thus making possible an early graduation. Despite the fact that Elda is the best giggler of the class and that she has already been affected by the strange disease called love, she is not negligent in her studies. We’ve often heard it said that you can only do one thing at a time—but truth is stranger than fiction. Though we are not nositive of Elda’s undertakings after she makes her debut into the outside world, we think that she will end up by being “Somebody’s Stenog,” and we know that she will be a good one. Here’s wishing her success. Commercial.

Louise S. Johnston “Pussyfoot” Always full of fun and zest Let her picture tell the rest. Louise’s motto seems to be, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and her sense of humor is certainly something to marvel at. As an actor Louise has few equals being-able to carry character parts to perfection. We think Louise would make good at music for she certainly can tickle the keys, but she prefers to take up Home Economics. She takes a peculiar interest in Muhlenberg and would like to continue her study there, but as that is impossible she is undecided where to go. But no matter where she goes we know she will prove herself as worthy a classmate as she did here. Academic Course. Student Council, 9. Oratorical Contest, 11. Debating 11. Dramatics 10, 11, 12. Vice President of Class 9, 11. Orchestra, 10. Associate Editor of the Annual, 12. Isabel S. McCIenahan “Irish” Always lauKhing, niver sad. Just Kiris like this, make men ko mad. Isabel, with her auburn hair and Irish eyes, is a girl you’d love to meet, and a pal that can’t be beat. She’s here; she’s there; she’s everywhere. If laughing and smiling were money, “Irish” would be worth a fortune, because she is always looking on the sunny side of life, and her smile and good nature have made her one of our most popular girls. She is an active member of the Commercial Class, showing a great interest in typing and shorthand. “Irish” has but one ambition, in which the class of ’30 wishes her the greatest success, and that is in some day being an Army Lieutenant’s private Secretary. With Isabel’s departure goes our reluctant “farewell.” 'Commercial. Dramatics, 10, 11, 12. Cheer Leader, 12. James M. McGinley “Jim” or “Homer” We shall remember him in the past As the tallest in the Senior Class For the work that he has done And the battles he has won.” James M. McGinley, born, educated and reared in the toughest Concrete section of America, has brought much fame to Coplay High School, and the Class of 1930 by his presence. “Jim” or “Homer” as he is better known to C. H. S. students and followers of Athletics in this section, stands 0 ft., 3 in. in his stocking feet and is a specimen to be proud of. He was a shining star in the sports of C. H. S., and no athletic team would be complete without Jim. His loss will certainly be keenly felt. As far as we have been able to make out, Jim is all set to enter Prep School on a scholarship and believe me that’s no little accomplishment on Jim’s part, and the school and Class of 1930 are proud to claim him as one of their own.
