Samuel Nathan Angstadt, K ut .town. Samuel Nathan Angstadt was born in Kutz- town on February 9, 1894. Samuel passed through the various grades of the Kutztown Public Schools until 1908, when he finished the High School course. Being a firm believer in higher education, Mr. Angstadt continued his education at the Normal, where he joined the Keystone Literary Society. Although not the tallest member of his class, he is well advanced in scholarship. Some people think that when Samuel first began teaching in Model the pupils thought a new pupil had enrolled in the Model School and their teacher for that period was late. Adah Julia Bachman, Lynnville. “Well, I declare, who is here?” Our little Addie,” sure enough! She is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jonas W. Bachman. (), how happy her parents were, when some time before the blowing up of the battleship Maine, this little darling made her appearance into this beautiful wide world. She attended the public schools at Lynnville, from which she graduated in 1908. Since she is such an ambitious girl, she certainly would not be satisfied with only this much of an education; therefore, one bright, sunny day, Adah passed the threshold of our dear old Normal and immediately became an active Society and V. W. C. A. worker. Adah is very modest, but since she takes up the art of painting, she will no doubt some day paint the very picture of her worthy lifemate. Think about it, Adah! 7

WlU.IAM Dl’NKUi AUTIIOUSK, R. I). No. 1, Leesport. When ilie electric taps rang on the morning of October 10, 1893, there was another suffering person in this world to turn over and yawn, •Oh, is it morning!” This blue-eyed boy won honors at the Leesport High School, and so papa sent him to Normal to polish him into even a brighter diamond. But, ever in his heart remained the thoughts of the electric taps that woke him that first morning. So, 0I1 glorious revenge, one evening he put the current out of commission. And, although “Willie” himself was extinguished for a week after that, we thought him a jolly, good fellow; and here’s to your success, brother “Bill.” Anna Mary Angstadt, ...... Kutztowr. The population of the thriving and interesting village of Kutztown was increased some time since the Civil War by the arrival of Anna Mary. When only a little tot she began going to school, and has been going ever since. She graduated from Kutztown High School in 1908, and then entered Keystone Stale Normal School. She always takes part in any home talent plays that are given in Kutztown. Her friends fondly believe that she will develop into a second Maude Adams. But, since this charming maiden dearly loves music, we hereby warn Josef Hoffman to look to his laurels. 16

Adam Richard Bachman, SchaefTerstown. During a hot clay of July, 1894, one, so called Adam, made his appearance in the village of SchaefTerstown, Pa. This chap grew up as the average American boy. After obtaining a “sheepskin” at the Heidelberg Township High School, Adam went in search of another, and has been looking ever since. He appeared at Kutztown, where he was branded as a 1911 man. He is a great tennis player, and frequently Adam’s melodious voice could be heard on the campus reminding his companions of the “square” game they were playing. Adam is sort of a talker, and undoubtedly when the round-up is made he’ll be a minister reminding men to play the “square” game. Paui. Aaron Bartholomew, R. D. No. i, Fullerton. “ Barty,” as he is known, came to live on old Mother Earth in the month of October, 1892. Catasauqua is his home, where he always loved to roam. His companions say that his boyhood was exceedingly interesting, and no doubt it’s true, since that was the case while at the Normal. He entered the school in the fall of 1909 as a middler. “Barty” proved to be quite an interesting character, since he may be called a “Jack-of all-trades.” He takes part in anything from heavy athletics to the more refined arts. In the spring and fall of 1910 he was the handy man between the second and third bags of the diamond, and during the winter months was a fast forward on the basketball floor, being cap- tain of the Normal Reserves. His motto has been Ncc scire fas esl omnia” and he believes in reservation of energy. “Barty” took great interest in Christian work, being a musical director in Y. M. C. A., devotional committee- man, and sent as a delegate to the Northfield Students’ Conference. May he continue his geed work. 18
