The topic chosen this year is “Worthy Use of Leisure”, one of the seven cardinal objectives of education, which are (1) Health, (2) Command of fundamental processes. (3) Worthy Home Membership, (4) Vocation, (5) Citizenship, (6) Worthy Use of Leisure, (7) Ethical Character. The speeches to be given by the pupils are “The Problem of Leisure”, Merlin Fisher; “The Benefits Which Wise Use of Leisure Confers”, Anton Hirschman, and “What Coplay is doing to solve the Problem of Leisure”, Katherine Frickert. HONOR STUDENTS Merlin J. Fisher Katherine G. Frickert Charlotte R. Balliett “Nooky” A sunny smile, a word of cheer. We’re always happy when Nooky's near. Words cannot possibly portray our esteem for this person, who, to her “intimates” has the humble distinction of being labeled “Nooky”, nor could mere words give full credit to her abilities and her sunny disposition. We feel sure that “Nooky’s” uncanny propensity for using her dynamic personality in getting herself out of “ticklish” situations will greatly enhance her natural abilities in the dramatic field toward which she has a decided leaning. And when Broadway thrills to the work of our fair friend, no one will smile a smile of sweeter reminiscence than we, her classmates. Academic. Dramatics, 9, 10, 11, 12. Debating, 12.

Beidleman “Ruthie” Here’s a girl with hair of brown. With eyes that fairly light the town. Who is this maid with so charming a smile? Can’t you guess? ’Tis Ruth, our jolly stenographer! Ruth’s lovely personality has won her a prominent place in the hearts of all of us. When any tricks were ever pulled off, Ruth was in on them, and when punishment was due, she took it like a soldier. Oh, but Ruth is not always frivolous,—she can be serious minded when the time comes to be serious. Ruth has always been proficient in her studies, and was one of the five of her class to skip a grade. There are rumors that Ruth is quite interested in one member of the opposite sex, but it seems she does not care to confide in us. Ruth’s one ambition is to be “Somebody’s Stenog”. The class of ’31 wishes her the best of luck,—Good luck, Ruth, we know you have it in you! Commercial. Dramatics, 10, 11. Oratorical Contest, 11. Glee Club, 11. Literary Arts, 10. Girls Reserves, 12. Secretary of Class, 10. Coplayite Staff, 12. Fisher with his ready wit Always makes a great big hit. Merlin, or “Fish”, as he is known to his classmates, is not the “sucker” his nickname might indicate him to be. He took no one’s word for anything, but liked to figure things out for himself. Fisher’s favorite subject was English, where he could write his witty poems and stories, being a member of the “Fisher, Rogers, and Hirschman School of Nonsense.” Fisher, however, did not devote all his time to study, for he was an excellent actor, and if any humorous character was needed in a cast, “Fish” was just the one to fill the “bill.” He took an active part in debating, being greatly responsible for many of the victories of C. H. S. “Fish” expects to become a chemical engineer when he leaves school. Good bye and Good Luck, “Fisher”, C. H. S. wishes you success. Academic. Dramatics, 9, 10, 11, 12. Class President. 9.

Merlin Fisher “Fish” Katherine G. Frickert “Frickert This girl so sensible and wise. Is very sure in life to rise. Katherine is the smallest girl in our class but she fulfills the old saying “Great things come in small packages” for we absolutely could not do without her wisdom and humor. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to everyone in need and was found in almost all school activities—taking part in debating, dramatics, oratorical contest, and showing interest in athletics. Being very studious you may think that boys are no attraction to her. There is where you make a decided mistake. It appears that her weakness is a good looking Junior. Katherine’s chief ambition is to become a teacher and she expects to enter Normal School next September. The class of ’31 wishes her all the luck in the world. Academic Course.

For me study has no charm. In this there is no harm. “Much study is a weariness of the flesh.” “Fritz”, one of the quietest boys of the class, has always tried to take life easy. So far he has accomplished his task well, so the teachers think, and many a time they get quite disgusted with “Fritz”, for if he isn’t sleeping in class, he’s star gazing. “Fritz’s” Studebaker is quite an asset to the senior class for it takes them wherever they care to go. So far, we know nothing of Alfred’s love affairs but, nevertheless, we wish him luck in that line. Altho “Fritz” is uncertain as to his future career, we are quite sure that with his knowledge of machines he is going to make a good machinist. The class of ’31 wishes you the best of luck, “Fritz.” Harrv S. Hallman ‘ Hap” Never never blue, but always gay His pleasing personity, will carry him a long long way. Gaze dear reader, on one of the tallest members of the Senior Class. Although Harry did not take part in Athletics he was a firm supporter of all the teams. Harry has been with us all through the grades and has shown us that he is capable of doing some real studying. He has taken part in numerous plays and other school activities, and is a prominent member of the Commercial Class. As much as we know, Harry is not very interested in any one member of the opposite sex, although we frequently hear of a certain Miss from a neighboring town, who occupies his thoughts (at times) now and then. Although Harry has not yet decided in entering in a definite field, we feel sure that whatever he attempts to undertake he will succeed, and with him goes the best wishes of the Class of ’31.

Anton, commonly known as “Hirschy” made a bang up start in Coplay High School, However, “Hirschy’s” weakness for titians, along with a great desire to become a proverbial “Red Grange” “sort of”, took his mind off his studies in his last year. However, even tho' he was late almost every morning, he says, “It’s all in the day’s work”,—early to bed and late to school is typical of a milkman. “Hirschy” was about the most active fellow in Coplay High—debate he could with uncanny skill; star he did in three years of dramatics; he’d smash ’em down on the gridiron; play ’em hard and clean on the court; and juggle with figures as well as anybody. “Hirschy” showed his versatile ability by piloting the great 1930 eleven, and the 1930-31 quintet in his senior year and, too, he was highly responsible for the victory over Whitehall in the last annual Turkey Day Classic. We wish you luck,“Hirschy” in all your undertakings! General. Class Pres., 11, 12. Pres, of Student Council, 12. Vice Pres, of Class, 10. Football, 10. 11, 12. Basketball, 11. 12. Debating, 11, 12.

Knerr “Cal” George is the smallest boy in our class, but this does not seem to bother him for it is said, “The best things come in the smallest packages.” “Cal” is especially interested in bookkeeping where he can prove his mental ability. “Cal” took an interest in athletics, especially in baseball, being a member of this year’s team. He also took a keen interest in other sports. Members of the opposite sex are the least of his worries, although he’s a friend to all. “Cal” is undecided as to what he intends to do after graduation, but whatever he may attempt, we wish him the best of luck! Dorothv S. Miller “book” A sunny smile, and a wistful look On a blushing; face—That’s our “Dook”. The blue-eyed innocent looking blonde upon whom you gaze is our “Dook”. Her innocence was only a mask—for when any tricks were played, “Dook” was in on them. Talk about crimson blushes? They give away many a secret. Coplay High will miss this star side center, with her fighting spirit and determination for victory. To trip the light fantastic is Dook’s hobby. The rest of her leisure time is spent before the radio dialing for Paul Whiteman’s orchestra or Rudy Vallee’s crooning voice. Up to date, Dook has not decided what she will do next year, but we feel sure Physical Ed. will be her fort. Whatever she does, wherever she goes, Dook’s legion of friends (both sexes) join in wishing her success. Academic Secy, of Class, 11, 12. Girl Reserves, 12. Literary Arts, 10, 11. Basketball, 10, 11, 12. Dramatics, 11. Leonard M. Miller “Mill” 0He was always happy, he was never blue. Hard luck couldn’t stop him, he came through. Leonard, better known as “Mill” was a very jolly little member of our class and a very good sport too. He was always willing to lend his helping hand in his classes’ activities and share in their joys, and since the very start, always held his class in high esteem. “Mill” sure finds pleasure in raising rabbits and doing work much like the up-to-date farmer does, and we feel sure he will succeed in it, if he ever thinks of doing such, as his life work. Though his plans are undecided for the future, we feel sure that he will suceed in whatever he attempts. So long Leonard—we’re wishing you the best of luck. General Course. Leonard H. Sailer “Cy” Leonard joined our class in the grades and went through “trials and temptations” with the rest of us. Books he loves a little, but better still his attention has been drawn more closely to machines, especially Chevrolets. “Cy” is a musician and very ably plays the clarinet in our orchestra. He also takes a great interest in sports, for although he was not a member of any team, he has been score-keeper for basketball games for two years. “Cy” is undecided as to what he intends to do when leaving his “Alma Mater” but we feel that he will be a great musician in one of our great theatres. May he attain success in whatever he undertakes. General Course. Orchestra 9, 10, 11, 12. Class History C loFtT) The Class of 1931 entered the all gracious portals of Coplay High School in 1927, a group of gloriously green freshies; some were noisy and frolicksome, others sedate and quiet, but as a whole all were enthusiastically seeking knowledge. Before mid-year3 were over, and after a few difficulties, we got acquainted with the routine of work. We organized our class electing as President Merlin Fisher; Vice President Rose Toth; Secretary Sarah Laubach; and Treasurer Alta Kern. Later in the year, when sports were taken on, some of our boys joined them, and won a great deal of glory, not only for themselves, but also for their Class. Safely all passed that first year of mingled joy and woe. Entering our second year, we had still more worries and cares, for did we not have to become acquainted with quite a new faculty, who at first sight made us all quiver and wonder whether we could ever graduate from our honored Coplay Hi. Nevertheless, after the first semester, all were feeling quite safe, and again our second year was passed with but a few small mishaps, which however did not deter us, for although some left our midst, the others passed safely on to the Junior Class. Our third year was the one most of us dreaded. To think that we had to sit in classes among all those upper classmen. But my, how our views all changed after the first week or so, for if it were said that any two classes ever got along well in class work, as well as other work, it can be said of our Junior Class and the Senior Class of ’30. Seniors at last! Oh, the magic of that word. We had just begun to feel content with ourselves, when we found we had a great deal of work to do. But despite this fact, we managed to enjoy ourselves and to prepare for graduation, which descended upon us like magic. It seems but yesteryear, that we entered thee, dear Coplay High School, as dignified and honored Seniors, but now we must say “Goodbye.” Coplay High School, our beloved Alma Mater, our everlasting benefactor, we bid you fond adieu. CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1931, knowing that all flesh is mortal, and realizing that the end of this, our scholastic life is fast approaching, do hereby solemnly, and in full possession of all our faculties make, declare, and publish this, our last will and testament, superseding, displacing, and making null and void any and all wills and testaments heretofore made. To our honored and esteemed Supervising Principal, Mr. Shetlock, we bequeath our love and our deepest admiration for his patience and ability in supervising this growing institution, and our sincere gratitude for the many words of encouragement he has given us in the past four years. To our noble faculty, we hereby bequeath all the astounding and surprising information that we have imparted to them in our various classes and examinations. We, the members of the Chemistry Class, do hereby bequeath to Mr. Struble all our broken test tubes and laboratory equipment together with all obnoxious and evil-smelling gases which we have made. We, the members of the Latin Class, do hereby bequeath to Mr. Gregory, all our ponies and crib sheets. We, the members of the Commercial Class, do hereby bequeath to Miss Heller, all our shorthand notebooks and false money used in Bookkeeping Class. And now we come to those nearest and dearest to us, our true heirs, our under-classmates, whom we leave behind, and from whom parting is so sorrowful a task. To the coming freshmen we hereby bequeath a path traveled by many and overlaid with pleasant memories in spite of its rough places. To the coming Seniors we hereby bequeath our treasured seats in assembly and classes, may they fill them with the dignity and faithfulness that we have in the past year. Also the right to be called Senior and right to carry on. And now we leave the following personal possessions to the new Seniors and do direct that they may be distributed as follows: I, Charlotte Balliett, do hereby bequeath my dramatic ability and achievements to Rita McGinley. I, Kathryn Frickert, do hereby bequeath my power to talk loud and distinctly to Helen Groller. I, Dorothy Miller, do hereby bequeath my phone calls and dates, also my Latin ponies, to Florence Windish. I, Ruth Beidleman, do hereby bequeath my curly hair and chewing ability to Erma Schaadt. I, Merlin Fisher, do hereby bequeath my jolly disposition to George Spaits. I, Alfred Gollatz, do hereby bequeath my gift of silence to Robert Masenheimer. I, Harry Hallman, do hereby bequeath my ability to dance, play the piano and typewrite to Alvin Morgan. I, Leonard Salter, do hereby bequeatn my ability to drive a car to Louis Battenfield. I, Leonard Miller, do hereby bequeath my shyness to George Trively. I, George Knerr, do hereby bequeath my bookkeeping ability to Louis Gaston. I, Anton Hirschman, do hereby bequeath my power over women to John Yeager. Signed this 29th day of May, 1931 The Class of 1931. Class Prophecy c'TWD My grandfather was a dear old man. I shall never forget the many happy days I spent as a child in the old homestead, where I was allowed to roam at will. One rainy day, grandpa was called away and I was left to amuse myself as best I could. I had never been in grandpa’s attic, but this day I conquered my fears of being alone in this great house, and made bold by curiosity, I climbed the attic stairs. I was a real explorer. What a wealth of dress-up material, books, and photographs I found! An attractive book with the numerals ’31 caught my eye, and, turning the pages, I found, beneath a portrait of a young man, the name of my grandfather. Could he have ever been so fine looking? But there it was, Anton Hirschman. Who were the others? I was so curious that I resolved to take the book with me and make grandpa tell me all about them, and himself. Grandpa came home soon after, sorry for having left me alone. But when I told him what a delightful day I had spent in the attic, he settled himself down before the fire. Here was my chance for the story, so I brought forth the book, seated myself on grandpa’s knee, and opened it at the page on which his picture appeared. “Well, well, how time does fly,” sighed grandpa, with a misty look in his eyes, and for a long time he did not speak, but paged thoughtfully from picture to picture. His shaky finger started at the beginning of the list, and one by one, he told me who they were, and what they meant to him. “This bright-eyed girl,” he said, “is Ruth Beidleman, one of our jolly, good-natured girls. After she left school, she became secretary to a struggling young doctor, and years later I met her with the doctor. They were married, and traveling in Europe, where the doctor was taking a special course. “Well, well, well. Here’s Merlin Fisher, a happy-go-lucky chap, full of the old nick, he was. I picked up an engineering magazine about a year ago and thought I had recognized the face of the man who had written the article. A little stouter and more mature, but it was he, my old pal, who had risen up in the world of science. “You can always tell the ‘school-marms’ can’t you? ’Tis Katherine Frickert. This intelligent little girl became a very fine teacher. Let me see, I think she is an old maid, for her lover died some years ago; and she refused to fall in love again. “And here’s handsome Harry,—yes, he is now a famed movie actor,—a great social lion of Hollywood. I saw in the paper some time ago, that he played the leading role in ‘Once in a Lifetime.’ He always did enjoy acting.” Just then I saw a wistful smile on grandpa’s face as he gazed upon his own picture, but he didn’t tell me what he was thinking about. I knew grandpa had made quite a success of his life. Mother had often told me of his fame as quarterback at Notre Dame. He had made his mark as a landscape gardener, besides. “And here’s our business man, George Knerr,” continued grandpa. “He started in a small way but the last time I’ve heard of him, he was the owner of a great department store and was very wealthy. “Now this innocent looking blonde is Dorothy Miller. We all liked ‘Dook’. She never had very much to say, but nevertheless, she made her mark. I remember ‘Dook’ as star side-center of our basketball team. Later, I believe, she took a course at a Teacher’s College and became a noted Physical Ed. Directress. Yes, Dorothy married a professor and I hear she has quite a large family. “Let’s see, here’s Leonard Miller. Now Leonard was a bashful chap in school, scarcely uttered a word, but he proved to be a great scientific farmer. Seems to me he owns a farm of 250 acres and has been very successful. “Do you see that picture of a violinist on the mantel? That is Leonard Salter. While in New York on a business trip, I attended a great Symphony Concert, and found that the great violinist was my classmate, Leonard Salter. He gave me that photograph. “Well, well, here’s Alfred Gollatz. He is a great aviator. I read not so long ago of his second trans-continental fight. “That’s all there were of us. Many a good time we had,—yes, many,—I wonder if—” Grandpa’s eyes were drooping, so I softly slipped from his lap, leaving him to dream of those happy days. “L’ENVOl” Once more June’s lovely days have come again, And as they move from dawn to setting sun, So ever closer moves that final day of pain, The parting of the class of ’31. We did not drain fair wisdom’s spring, But eagerly we drank our share, And now as we go forth, we’ll show Our fellow creatures what was there. We know that gems of purest ray, Lie far down in the ocean deep, And if we wish to see their gleam, Unceasingly we must for them seek. With this one thought, we turn our eyes, Upon life’s dim uncertain maze With this same thought we say goodbye To scenes we loved in High School days. Dear happy days in Coplay High Round you our fondest thoughts will cling, And though we leave you with a sigh, Our grateful thanks to you we bring. We thank you for the truths you taught, For showing us, that if we give The best that is within ourselves, We’re only learning how to live. Then bearing all we’ve learned in mind The path of truth we’ll strive to find, And hope that in the future days, When each of us his race has run, We hear not words of blame— But praise for all the class of ’31.

Yes and no doubt about it. This is Coplay High’s 1930 football squad or rather part of it, as six members of the squad, all lettermen, are not on the picture. They are Windish, Spaits, Droxler, Toth, Lewis, and Marcks. This game band of Warriors carried the Maroon and Gray colors into seven games this season, losing all except one. Much credit is due Coach Struble, for from a squad of 25, three of them Varsity members of the 1929 squad, he developed a team which rose from early season defeats to hold a highly tauted and undefeated Northampton High team to a 7-6 score, and humble Whitehall with a 7-0 victory in the first of an annual Thanksgiving Day game, which will soon take its place among the leaders of Turkey Day classics. The score does not indicate the superiority of the Coplay team, for after 40 minutes of “Bang-up” football, Coplay had scored 21 first downs while Whitehall was unable to tally more than three. Other lettermen besides those mentioned before are: Hirschman, Masenheimer, Santee, Groller, and Bair. As only Hirschman and Fisher will be lost through graduation, a good 1931 football season ought to be in store for C. H. S. FRONT ROW—Coach Struble, Groller, Bicber, Capt. Hirschman, Masenheimer, Bair, L. Salter, (Student Manascer). SECOND ROW—Reinhard, Rinker, Santee, Farney, N. Salter. Basketball Immediately after the football season closed, Coach R. C. Struble called for basketball candidates. A squad of 40 green raw men responded. All the members of last season’s Varsity had been lost either through graduation or had not returned to school so that an entirely new team had to be built up. For the first time in its history, Coplay High School was represented in a basketball league, being a member of the newly formed Lehigh-Northampton circuit. Despite the fact that our boys were green and inexperienced the end of the season found us in a third place tie with Bangor. During the league season five games were lost and five won for a percentage of .500. A total of 227 points were scored against 236 for the opponents. Groller led the scoring with 58 points, Bieber accounted for 56, Capt. Hirschman for 52, Masenheimer for 10, Bair for 40, while the subs were responsible for 11 others. A few independent games were played, most of which were lost. At the close of the season the coveted C’s were received by Hirschman, Bieber, Groller, Bair, Rinker, and Masenheimer. With only Hirschman to be lost thru graduation, it would not be surprising to see C. H. S. sitting on top of the “pile” next season. FRONT ROW—Spaits, Rein hard. Morgan, McGinley, Johnston. BACK ROW—A. Morgan. Masenheimer, Rinker, Rogers, Nemeth, R. C. Struble, Coach. Baseball The above picture is that of the 1930 Baseball squad, since the 1931 team had not yet been formed at the time these photographs were taken. These boys carried the Coplay colors bravely and nobly thru the spring of 1930, and although overwhelmed by heavy odds, they fought gamely in a way that brought credit to Coplay High. Even though they did play the strong teams of the Lehigh-Northamp-ton League, they were able to win three out of the ten games played. So far the 1931 season’s team, seems to be a repetition of the 1930 season. The team was considerably weakened by the loss of eight of last year’s varsity players, but despite this, Coach Struble and the boys are fighting to roll up a string of victories before the end of the season comes around. The 1931 Baseball squad is composed of: Robert Masenheimer. George Spaits, Joe Podorski, Carl Beiber, John Windish, Joseph Drox-ler, William Marcks, George Knerr, Simoch, and Aral Moser. FRONT ROW—Miss Heller, Coach; Schaffer, Schreiher, Gruver, Capt., Bullion, Miller, Schaadt. SECOND ROW—Mills, Frickert, Salter, Windish, Rogers, Groller, Stefany. Girls’ Basketball At the opening of the 1930-31 Basketball season, a group of 14 merry girls turned out to try their best in securing a position on the Varsity. The team pulled hard, and each game won was well-deserved. The team especially showed their skill in the Bangor game, a league game, when they nearly put it over on the Bangor girls, but through some trick of fate when the final whistle blew the game was in the hands of the Bangor girls. As this was the first year we were represented in a league, we were only second last in the league. Let us not forget the faithful “Subs” either, who lend their pep and fighting spirit to the team. We feel sure that with only three players lost through graduation, the team will try to reach greater heights in the ensuing year. Gymnasium The pride of Coplay High lies in this attractive, well equipped gymnasium. Its basketball floor is one of the finest in the Lehigh Valley. A gymnasium is in reality a human factory. It is a place where the machinery of our body is built up so that it will stand the bumps of future life. It is self-evident that exercise is a necessary part of education, for no person with a sound and well educated mind will have the power and strength to use his knowledge without building up the machinery that sets this knowledge to use. Few students would get the necessary exercise if it were not for the gymnasium. The calisthenics are a great help in building up and strengthening the little used muscles of our bodies. The organized games which the large floor space permits, teaches cooperation, quick and clear thinking, and constant alertness—all human qualities necessary to get along well in life. Not only is the gymnasium for work during school hours alone, but basketball and other inter-scholastic sports bring about better cooperation and school spirit within the student body itself, and with the people outside. All in all, a gymnasium is one of the greatest assets the child, the school, and the community of Coplay could have; it is a real boon for strong and healthy American boys and girls.

Debating At last the time has come when Coplay High School may be classed with other High Schools in the field of debating for they have passed quite a successful season in that line. The team was quite green when it started work for only four former members were with us this year. Resolved that Modern Advertising is detrimental to the Best Interests of Society, was the question which stirred up so much interest among our zealous, hard-working and hard fighting debaters. The affirmative debating team was composed of Alice Schaffer, Emma Stefany, Anton Hirschman and Karl Reinhard (Alt.). The negative team was composed of Emma Mills, Charlotte Balliett, Katherine Frickert, Florence Windish, (Alt.). Others who served on the teams were: Merlin Fisher, Norwood Salter, Claudia Cohen, Ruth Rogers. Our negative and affirmative teams have come through with some victories, the negative taking the measure of our old rival, Slatington Hi, and the affirmative defeating Emaus Hi. May the following debating teams have as successful a season as we have had. FIRST ROW—Karl Reinhard, Ruth Roarers, Rita McGinley, Louise Trankley, Louis Gaston. LAST ROW—George Trively. Oratorical Contest The fifteenth annual Junior Oratorical Contest was held in the High School Auditorium on the evening of February 12, 1931. Louise Trankley, with her selection entitled “The Gift of Magi,” by 0. Henry; won the girls’ prize of five dollars. An oration presented by Louis Gaston entitled “The Traffic in Fraud,” by Milo Swanton; won the boys’ prize, also of five dollars. The judge for the evening was Miss Ruth Greenwood, Instructress of Expression at Cedar Crest College. Louis Gaston was chosen by the judge to represent the High School in the Annual County Contest, to be held on April 24, at Coop-ersburg, Pa. Music was furnished by the Coplay High School Orchestra. The following were also participants with their selections: “The Littlest Rebel” .......................................Bennett RITA MCGINLEY “Manufactured Intelligence” .....................Wilbur E. Herman KARL REINHARD “The White Swan” .....................................Gilbert Parks RUTH ROGERS “Hamilton and The Nation”.............................Lenkin Jenks GEORGE TRIVELY Dramatics The dramatic season opened with the musical comedy “Aunt Lucia,” produced by the Universal Company, with Miss Lillian Smith directing. The cast was composed of a great number of school pupils, assisted by local talent. The splendid response of the business men, who appeared in the “Flapper Chorus” was very much appreciated by the school, and proved such an innovation that it can hardly be forgotten. To Coplay High goes the credit for putting on one of the best productions of “Aunt Lucia” that the company has given. “Aunt Lucia” is really identical to “Charley’s Aunt” which has had long runs and is very mirth provoking. The coming play “And Mary Did” promises to be a rare treat. It is a delightful comedy, revolving around a young man and an over-ambitious father, who in his anxiety to obtain a political and financial career for his son, upsets a romance and get himself and everyone else in some embarrassing situation. The characters include a girl whose chief aim in life is to reduce, a gardener and maid, a pair of “heavenly twins,” a designing young flapper, and a great political leader in the form of an old spinster. The heroine, after a great political fight in which she has an exciting motorcycle ride to a roadhouse, finally wins the election and the young man. The cast is as follows: Mary Sterling, a modern Joan of Arc— Louise Trankley; Mrs. Sterling, an old-fashioned mother—Erma Schaadt; Mr. Gray, an ambitious father—Karl Reinhard; Lawrence Gray, his son—Harry Hallman; Dressa Rand, a girl who men forget?—Emma Stefany; Edith, fair and plump—Florence Windish; Matilda, a maid of all work—Alice Schaffer; Henry, the gardener, who spends most of his time in Matilda’s kitchen—Robert George; Betty and Willy Gray, two irrepressible youngsters—Emma Mills and Merlin Fisher; Miss E. 0. Witticker, a great political leader—Claudia Cohen. The play is being coached by Mrs. R. F. Balliett. FRONT ROW—Wm. Rice. Kenneth Frickert, Vernon Bortz, Lorraine Peters.

Jr, High School Oratorical Contest and Play The second annual Eighth Grade Contest was held in the High School Auditorium on Friday evening, November 21, 1930.

Orchestra The Coplay High School orchestra under the direction of Harry Steckel, did marvelous work during the school term. They performed at all of the high school functions and met with great success. The orchestra gained many new members this year who helped to enlarge it, and who deemed it a great pleasure to aid the high school in such a way. Due to the enlargement and strength of the orchestra, many school activities are enlivened and “pepped up” to a great extent. The orchestra participated in the following functions: The Slat- ington-Coplay High Debate, Junior Prize Speaking Contest, “And Mary Did”, Junior High School prize speaking contest. The Class of ’31 bestows the best luck and wishes upon the orchestra and its able conductor, and hope that they will continue their excellent work throughout the years to come. The Student Council The Student Council reorganized early in September and elected the following officers: Honorary President...........................Prof. William Shetlock President ..........................................Anton Hirschman Vice President ..................................................Harry Hallman Secretary........................................................Joyce Herbster The Council consists of two members from each home room whose duty it is to set examples of good scholarship, true sportsmanship, and respect for their school. As a body the Student Council decides on the rules and regulations which govern the pupils while in school and sees that they are properly carried out. In order to facilitate carrying out the rulings of the Council, monitors are elected, whose duty it is to keep order in the halls and report all offenders. These offenders are taken before the Council and punished. Besides drawing up regulations for the school, matters such as inter-class athletics, leagues and tournaments are all run under the supervision of the Student Council. That the council has done much this year in the way of keeping order in the school can be readily seen by the very few cases of infractions it had to deal with towards the end of the year. POEMS “SUMMER TIME” Fleecy clouds are floating by In the azure summer sky, As upon the grass I lie. Overhead the apple trees Wave their branches in the breeze, And I hear the hum of bees. Perfume of the flowers fair, Wafted gently here and there, Fill the pleasant summer air. —Lorraine Gruver. This little kid in time will grow To be a famous man, I know, With what is now a dimpled fist, He’ll lick some champion pugilist, Or just while he is growing up He’ll bring back home the Davis Cup, Or beat the records of B. Jones, And those which now the Babe Ruth owns, Or on the football field his range Will be three times that of Red Grange. But, gee, he looks so innocent, He may be just a president. —Stanley Peters. If you will walk life’s way with me, My heart will build a shrine To shelter you and treasure you And keep you always mine. If I can watch your shining face As we go side by side, No matter if the way is hard, I shall be satisfied. If I can touch your gentle hand And feel your tender kiss, I shall be well content with life, I’d ask no more than this. If you will sing when skies are gray I will sing of a brighter day. —Louise Trankley. If you should wake in that dead silent part of night, When all familiar things and sights are strange and still And suddenly you feel your soul to thrill, With fear; and widening eyes too long for light. If then you could by using all the might Of will you ever had; Think of a song to fill The darkness; Then the night that was so dark and still Would be a happy place of music and delight. So then in life, when all the world is dull and grey And you are frightened by the hasty flight of years, By all the strange and cruel things that in them throng, Think of a child’s laugh; of a happy summer day, And banish for a while those useless sighs and tears Knowing well that life has in its heart, a song. —Florence Windish. Mr. Gregory is a teacher With a most disturbing feature When we make a little rhyme, Be it medium, good or fine, He is sure that he has seen Those self same lines in a magazine. What to do with such a creature What to do with such a teacher Is to make up rhymes that jingle Till from head to heels he’ll tingle Then perhaps he’ll understand That all our poems are not canned. —Charlotte Balliett. “A TRIP BY RADIO” A storm is raging; What a night! I really meant to see the show, But now me thinks I’ll curl up tight, And travel via radio. I’ll play I’m in a magic boat, And just in fancy I will go, To places near or far remote, That songs suggest—by radio. I’m “In a little Spanish Town,” ’Tis music makes the world your kiss, From balconies is wafted down, “Oh Lady play your Mandolin.” And now from Spain my magic boat, To Africa it sails along, I hear from out a dusky throat, A plaintive cry, “The Desert Song.” Once more my magic boat takes wings, High, high up in the hills, we fly A mother softly croons and sings, I hear “A Russian Lullaby.” And now I hear a sweet refrain That’s sung with quaint and courtly dance, “A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine” Revives “My Memories of France.” And once again, I hear a tune We’re back in dear old U. S. A. Right “Underneath a Texas Moon” Down in “My Dear Old Monterey.” “Oh California Here I come” Away with all my grief and cares! For who would not be glad to roam With “Love Among the Millionaires?” ’Tis Springtime In the Rockies” now, What fun it is to set the sail, And fly across the mountains’ brow, To hear “Hawaiian Nightingale.” “Sing Something Simple” people say, Oh my! That’s very foolish talk, I hear “A Broadway Melody” “Oh Would You Like To Take A Walk?” An “Old New England Moon” they say, A stormy sky well clears, I’ll put my magic trip away, “Among My Souvenirs”. —Charlotte Balliett.
