SENIOR I-IISTCRY Old Father Time, as he wearily approaches a milestone, sees upon it inscribed 1922. This date carries with it a never-to-be forgotten event for u 1, the elfz.-:Q of H22-our graduation from North- ampton High School. Vile stand now on the verge of success or failure, knowing not what our fate will be, but it we have our motto 'CI-Ie can who thinks he can kept well in mind, we will direct our steps toward success. As Freshman, we comprised the largest class which had entered High School up to that time. But, alas, there remain only thirty- seven out of seventy-seven. Fortunately this number contains many who are skilled in different kinds of work. Four of the tive players of the High School Basket Ball Team of 1922 belong to our class. They are NValter Troxell, Paul Reiter, Calvin Miller and Russel Reichard. On the Girls' Team Mary Newhard and Evelyn Hunt should he given no little credit. The Oratorical contest exhibited the talent of the Class in oratory as well as in the art of designingr. The speakers were well matched and the contest wa-1 a close one. The stage was decorated in an entirely different manner from that of preceding years. The orchestra, which has gained fame during' the past several years, contains eight of our class mates. They are Pearl Hills, Samuel Renner, pianists. Alfred Kneeht, Franklin Gergits, Ray- mond Hoch, violinists. Edgar Yehl, elarinetist. Ralph Luekenbaeh, John Fedko, drums. Among the pupils who have displayed their ahility as leaders are: Bessie Lueks, President ot School Betterment Association, VVillis Keiser, President of class ol' 1922, John Fedko, Cheer Leaderg Paul Reiter, Captain Basket Ball Team in 1922, W'alter Troxell, Captain Basket Ball Team, 1921. The active work of the Aowakiya Camp Fire Girls, under the guardianship of Miss Mary E. Kurtz, should also be mentioned. guided and taught to the tune of the hickory stick, we will never minded of our days in dear old N. H. S. Although we were often Sixteen AMPTENNIAN, '22

RUTH NAOMI SCHILLING ' 'Rufio-Tujic ' ' This plump little maid with Chestnut brown hair and laughing eyes 'won ali our hearts when she entered the school in the middle of our first year. Since then this country-bred bundle of happiness has kept us all smiles. She always has a fund of jokes for every occasion and event and is a welcome addition to every af- fair. She is quite popular. She is a member of S. B. A., she was one of the Contest speakers, and had part in our class play., Ruth and her many followers have worn a well-trod path between Northampton and VVeavcrsvi1le, -where her country seat was for- merly situated. Some day, in an attractive white apron and cap, Ruth expects to hold a manly hand while her cool fingers brush wavy hair from a fever- ed brow. ' Eighteen WILLIS L Kl'lSlR General One of the most note-worthy events that ever occurred in the history of Newport, happened in 1904. Willis Keiser was born. Keiser is bashful Nj. Willis is also very emotional. When he worked in a blacksmith shop, a mule presented him with a kick. Willis .became so emotional over it that it carried him off his feet. It takes a hard man to be a class president, and it takes a hard -man to be student manager of the basketball team. As Keiser was hard, he was picked for both. Willis takes no interest in politics, although he says he 'd like to meet Mr. Volstead alone one night. Nuff Sed! AMPTENNIAN. '22
