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.

“Who’s in that coop?” growled the farmer. “Nobody but the chickens, suh!” said the thief. Ah! ’Tis Spring—when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of what the girls have been thinking about all winter. Masenheimer, C. H. S. strong foundation, only plays 8 ball yet he has athletes foot—quite a distinction!—eh‘ What? G. K. ’31—“If I’d have three cents and you’d have two, what would that give?” H.

S’ Tough on ’Em If the moth starved in Adam and Eve’s time, they are now entering a prolonged eighteen day diet. . See? Feed your babies garlic so that you can find them in the dark. Fooled, eh ? 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. Teacher: “Johnny, can you give me a quotation from the Bible?” Johnny: “Sure, teacher, ‘And Judas went out and hanged him- self.’ ” Teacher: “That’s fine, Johnny; and now, can you give me an- other?” Johnny: “Go and do thou likewise.” “He tires betimes who spurs too fast betimes.” (Attention Al- fred Gollatz). “An horse is a vain thing for safety.” Psalm 33:17.

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.
