BESSIE ETHEL LUCKS Commercial Bessie is a jolly girl, As rraro-free as erm. beg Sho's in for efuery bit of frm, Always happy as can bc. Here is our Bessie, who drifted in from Beaver Nleadow in our Junior year. She has a host of friends, which proves she is a pos- sessor of a charming personality. Bessie is one of the dancing nymphs of our olass. But she is also a good student and ranks high in her studies. As President of the School Bet- terment Association, and as a speaker of the Oratorical Contest, she has proven her ability both as a leader and entertainer. The Minutes of our class meetings will -be preserved for History by Bessie's faithful pen. The La Perle has greatly benefited .by her services as Social Editor. This work will be useful to her in her future work as a Journalist. .Wa . A M PTIQJNNIAN, '22 XVALTER TROXELL 1 A T,,.0,,ky 1 1 Academic We now have before us one of the most re- markable athletes that ever entered Northamp- ton High. This modern Apollol' has made a brilliant reeord for himself and one that he can be indeed proud of. As a Freshlnzm he first showed signs of becoming a crack basketball player, and he has inet all expectations. While yet a Sophomore, he earned a sub-position on the V-arsity team, from a large field of candi- dates. Since then he has held a regular rberth on the team. He captained the team through the highly successful season of '20-,21 in a commendable manner. At baseball, track and field events, he has also shown his leadership. His literary qualities cannot .be overlooked, for Trocky does not devote all his time to athletics. During his Junior year he served as president of the Literary Society, and acted as chief librarian of his class for three years. A more jovial, good-natured fellow cannot be found, and we hope that some day Troeky will he acting as head coach at some notable university. Twenty-mfnc

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
