Why does a chicken cross a street? (Scientists are working hard for the answer, and predict it will be in the 1998 annual). If strikes are contagious, then school attendance will take a nose dive.

FRONT ROW—Rinker. Groller Capt. Hirschman Fisher. Peters. SECOND ROW Shoemaker, Kluckaritz, Santee, Masenheimer, Bair, R. C. Struble, Coach. Football Football team? 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.
