Thus, in 1891. the Spirit instigated in them a definite purpose, so that a high school was established. Its beginning was humble, but the Spirits’ untiring efforts brought about marked improvement. By her tact and wisdom the one course developed to two and finally to three. In addition to having a greater variety of studies, the high school course now attained a length of four years. In 1923 this good friend artfully called the attention of the learned fathers to the need for a new school building in which to carry on higher education. This Spirit has been a faithful aide in the past history of our historic home. May her wisdom guide us in the future. (H I Chc Cernet 1926 The Faculty Nazareth Fjigb School Cfje Jfacultp Frederick A.

FREDERICK MARTIN LESTER HAWK Nazareth fiigb School Hetter to tfje Class; of '99 Balboa Heights, Panama Canal Zone February 22, 1926 EAR SCHOOLMATES:—It just dawned on me that it is more than a quarter of a century ago since WE graduated from Nazareth High, and I thought I’d better write and let you know that you arc getting old. You might deny it. but you would have some trouble hiding your gray hair, bald heads, and (other) spectacles. Since then twenty-six other classes have come out. and the twenty-seventh is on its way, some of whom, for all I know, may be the offspring of the ninety-niners. If it weren’t for the children, and Professor Huth, I might tell the world now who put that rare specimen into Gernet’s flower press; fumigated mice in the hot air furnace; manicured Guidy Schmidt’s pet tom cat; rubbed dried nettle into people’s woolens; pinned unmentionables on the hammer of the old school bell, and how the boobies passed impossible 100 per cent, exams, and other things. Isn’t it awful that your memory must carry such things around for years and years, not daring to spill them lest they disturb the social standing of a few respected and respectful citi- zens who were young in 1899. Speaking of mind, memory, and children, has it ever occurred to you that our high school education didn’t help our young ones a bit? I always thought that H5] Helen and I (combined) had a fairly good education and that there was every reason to believe that our offspring would be reasonably intelligent beings. To my surprise when the first-born arrived, he not only knew absolutely nothing, but he could neither walk nor talk, and his face was fire red when he first laid eyes on me,—and the second was like unto him. In this respect they were more helpless than a common barnyard animal. Adam and Eve seem to have been the only ones who did not have to go through this schooling process. I have no idea how much they knew when they were born. They didn’t seem to know what was good for them, but wouldn’t it be a fine thing if we could transmit our store of accumulated knowledge and wisdom to our children in birth, and they, in turn, after adding to it for twenty years or so, pass it on to the next generation, and so on ad infinitum. Think of the million empty school houses, useless books, and idle teachers! Josh Billings said that the average man has a mind into which you must drive a thought with a sledge hammer, and out of which you can only get an intelligible expression with a cork screw. (He said “man”—not women and children.) With the aid of an old Pre-Pro. corkscrew I have succeeded in extracting the following tremendous truth: That the Che Comet 1926 Great Creator and Preserver in His infinite wisdom, has reserved some things entirely to Himself, and while it appears that we are able to do a few things by our own efforts, so far as the beginning and the ending of life are concerned, we arc absolutely helpless and dependent on Him. We apparently arrive with an empty brain, and no matter how much we put into it during life, when the end comes our entire collection of knowledge passes out like the flame of a candle before a puff of wind. Yet, there is nothing new under the sun. for what bright ideas are developed today, were common knowledge and forgotten ten thousand years ago. High School may be too early to begin to talk about love, marriage, a home, and children, but certainly some time between that age and twenty somebody ought to get in a word of advice to the boys and girls to the effect that some time between twenty and thirty is the proper time to select a vocation, a life- partner. and a home. Youth is the time to revel in the light and beauty; the sweetness and harmony of this universe, and with bodies brimful of sensations, appetites, and powers, like a harp of a thousand strings that send forth rich entrancing melodies, there arc almost infinite possibilities of enjoyment for man and maid if properly attuned to the essential conditions of life. Youth likes to gaze into the heavens at night thick with stars, glorious with the moon walking in her brightness; youth likes to stand by the sea and let the breeze wet with brine fan its brow, and watch the breakers curl and tumble in upon the shore: likes to listen to the song of the birds on a summer morn, or the passionate trills of the nightingale sweet singing to his mate; likes to feel the thrill of a glance from love-lit eyes that from the fringed lid speak what the lips dare not utter, and when hand clasps hand and each feels the pure chords of the heart vibrate to love's holy melody, let the one ask the question and the other say yes,” for there will then be “Two souls with but a single thought; two hearts that beat as one.” There seems to be a fallacious idea that when young people leave school they must go “Out into the world to make a living.” My advice is “Stay where you are and make a home.” If the spirit of adventure and the desire to sec the world overcome you, before you start be sure to provide yourselves with round- trip tickets so that at the end of your journey you will find yourselves back in the most beautiful spot on earth, 'mid the scenes of your childhood and the surroundings of home, where the heart turns to the dwelling place which has been hallowed by the memory of a mother—a place that has rung with the laughter of childhood and echoed the sobs over departed loved ones, embosomed among the hills, sheltered by the clinging honeysuckles, and shaded by blossoming apple trees—be it ever so humble there is no place like home. Nazarenely yours. W. H.

X hc Comet 1926 £ebieto of 1926 act 1 %, CRNF- I—The scene is laid in the Main Room of the old High School Building on the fifth of September in the year 1922. As the curtain rises, a group of bashful and frightened boys and girls numbering fifty-one enter, with their eyes popping, taking in with a single glance, the mass of faces of upper classmen. Although the sun is shining, there is an uncanny glow cast over the room by the extreme greenness of the freshmen. Later in the day the protests of the freshmen boys arc heard, but arc drowned by the yells of delight of upper classmen, who seem to take great pleasure in hazing the poor children. However, they didn't succeed in hazing all—several escaped untouched. Scene II This scene is laid in the Civics Room in the old High School Building one afternoon in November, when the class was organized. In December a class meeting was held there, and it was decided that the class have a sleigh-riding party. In spite of the efforts of the upper classmen to the contrary, we went. We had a delightful time—it is a pleasant incident in the memories of the class of '26. Scene III The scene is laid in the Main Room of the old High School Building during a Literary Society meeting in the spring. The class president presents to the school a beautiful picture, called The Pond Lilies. This picture is a fine addition to the numerous ones placed by other classes on the walls of the new building. ACT II Scene I The scene is laid in the old High School Building. September 4, 1923. This time we appear as intellectual sophomores. This year it is our chance to aid in the hazing of the freshmen which we execute in a very elevated manner. Nazareth Fjtgb School Scene II Whitfield Gymnasium is now revealed on the evening of October 26, 1923. The atmosphere is filled with witchery and mystery. The gym” is appro- priately decorated for this occasion in orange and black. The evening was spent in dancing and playing Hallowe’en games. All leave at a late hour, regretting the end of this delightful afFair. Scene III This scene is laid in the new High School Building, October 29. 1923. All students, with their arms filled with books, are wandering about the halls and wondering where they arc to go. All act as if they were freshmen again. Soon, due to instructions from the teachers, we find our new home rooms and we soon feel at home.” ACT 111 Scene I We are back again at Nazareth High, beginning our Junior year, September 9. 1924. Thirty-two juniors returned to resume their studies. Very much interest in athletics, music and other school activities was taken by the class. The class was well represented on the debating team, contributing four members. Scene II The scene is laid in Room 9, at the beginning of January, 1925. The president of the class is seen handing out our class rings and pins, which arc eagerly received by us. The rings and pins have the seal of the High School engraved on them. Scene III As the curtain rises a very beautiful scene is revealed, on March 25. 1925. Spring is in the air. The gymnasium is very prettily decorated in lattice-work of yellow and white crepe paper. Palms are scattered over the room, which is filled with members of the faculty and their wives, juniors and seniors. The orchestra strikes up and the dancing begins. The evening is spent in dancing and card-playing. Delicious refreshments are served to the revelers. The party ends with a delightful waltz. Every one regrets its close. 119] Che Comet «926 ACT IV Scene I The scene has been shifted to the auditorium of the High School Building. September 8. 1925. Twenty-two young men and women have returned this year as dignified seniors to complete their studies. This year many of our members are found on the debating team, athletic teams, and numerous other school staffs. Scene II On the night of October 30, 1925. our class gives a Hallowe’en party, to which the faculty is invited and each senior brings a post-graduate or a lower classman. Dancing and Hallowe’en games arc the means of entertainment. Hallowe’en refreshments are served in cafeteria style, followed by more dancing. The party breaks up at 12 o’clock. Scene III The scene is a repetition of Act III, Scene III, only this time we are being entertained instead of entertaining. The gym” is very tastefully decorated. Plants arc numerous as arc card tables. The orchestra plays and the fun begins. The seniors enjoy themselves very much and compliment the Junior Class on their ability to act as very capable hosts and hostesses. Scene IV This scene finds us on our trip to Washington. D. C. This is a fitting climax to our busy Senior year. The sights of the national capital will be one of the fondest recollections of our class. Scene V Time: June 25, 1926. Black-robed seniors arc handed a roll of parchment tied with cardinal and grey ribbons which they take with one hand while with the other they change the tassel of their caps to symbolize their graduation. The curtain falls. Exit 1926. [201 Nazareth High School WILSON BOERSTLER Mope Cood Lookin' ” Wilson doesn't realize it. but we think his blue eyes would take wonderfully on the silver-sheet. It seems he'd rather experiment in lab” or tease the girls than make use of his optical assets. However, in spite of his teasing, we must admit he's there on the basketball floor and is a good handy-man at social affairs. Wilson adores (?) economics: in spite of this fact, we have an inkling that Mr. Schwartz will be relieved when he is no longer addressed in such bloomin' English. Although Wil- son is rather shy among the girls. Lizzie (don't become excited—she's made of tin) is a clinging friend. Honors: High School Orchestra (I) (2) (3) (4); Class Play (4); Varsity Basketball (4); Glee Club (2). ISABELLA BONSTE1N Izzy Bunny Izzy” would make a good town crier, as she is usually centrally located and doesn't miss any doings” —masculine and otherwise. Izzy's the queen of bobbed hair dancers, in demand as a teacher and partner. Her agility on the floor is nothin' compared to that in the gym during a game. She is a huggin’ guard and a “sneakin’ forward. She is a great admirer of the modern knight in his auto. She studied economics with us. but the course didn't seem to do much good. Think of all that perfectly good money paid for carfares for those week-end visits! Honors: Glee Club (2) (4); Varsity Basket- ball (2) (J (4); Vice-President. Chn (3): cists Play (4); Cos:XT Staff (4). GERALDINE CHILDRESS Jerry Blondie” Honk! Honk! Gangway!” On the horizon doth appear a car speeding toward us with unmusical puffs and pants. Jerry is arrived. Her entrance is breezy, but this girl is more musical than her approach would hint. She can coax anything from Bach to Berlin from the teasing ivories. Jerry'� ” blond hair and shell-like complexion attract a second glance. Her virtue is pleasantness: her vice—love of jazz: her distinguishing characteristic is her Charleston gait. Honors: Glee Club (2) (4). XThc Comet 1926 LESTER EVERETT Less Honk” “Texas Among Nazareth High School's jolly seniors arc the fair commercial group of girls with Lester in their midst. No. Texas is not effeminate. On the other hand, he is attracted to effeminate beings —Stockertown scoring there. As a bas- ketball star. Less was as unknown as the North Star in the Stone Age until this year. Now he shineth. yea. is very bril- liant in this field. And that's that! Next to Mope. Less” is the prize teaser of the class. Less. do you thank us for this? Honors: Varsity Basketball Team (4): Varsity Captain (4); Mameer of Basketball (3); Class Play (4): Assistant Business Manager. Comet (4). EVELYN HEARN Eve “Hearney Weather: Rainy, snowy, muddy, etc. Characters: A roomful of grumpy, gloomy students. Time: Any day of blues. Enter Eve. beaming broadly on all. (She makes some comical remark.) Frowns disappear. Conversation becomes more cheerful. General smiles. Later—Conversation hilarious! “Eve” is popular chiefly because of her characteristic smile of good fellowship. We'll say for Edclmans. they're strong on quality. Honors: National Oratorical Speaker (4); Glee Club (2) (4); Secretary. Commercial Club (4). ARLEYNE HEIMS Baby Kid Arlcyne is the most petted member of the class. This tiny lady is quite efficient on the basketball floor and. as the girls' captain, she seems to be on pretty good terms with the boys' captain. Here's the girl that comes to meetings with a smile that the dreary and tiresome ride from Stockertown cannot efface. When you find a taking manner and a pleasing face—what’s a man going to do? Honors: Vice-President. Class.(3): President. Student Council (4): President. Commercial Club (4); Glee Club (3) (4); Varsity Basketball (3) (4): Captain. Varsity Basketball (4); Second Oratorical Prize (3); Vice-President, literary Society (4); Assistant Business Manager. Court (4); Publicity Stall (3): Debating Team (3) (4); Secretary. Athletic Association (4); Reporter. Commercial Club (4). Nazareth fttgb School JOSEPHINE KIEFER Jo “Josik Artistic, literary, musical, studious, energetic, witty— Jo is all these and then some. Two words characterize her— brilliant and versatile. Jo possesses executive ability, and can she sing? I'll tell the world. She loves a good time and you may rest assured outs pep into the crowd. We’re proud of you. “Jo.” Twenty-six is strong on ciuality. what would we be without her? Horrors! Don't torture us with those thoughts. Honors: Associate Editor. Comet (4); Class Secretary (2) (3) (4); Literary Society Treasurer (4); Lincoln Essay Medal (3): Glee Club (2) (4); Publicity Start (3). JACOB KNECHT Jake Tempest Hear a victrola reproducing one hundred words a minute? Wrong! It's Jake. But we must admit that when he talks he says something. His natural ability in financial affairs has caused a great demand for him this year. What more con we say of him? Words fail when attacked by ordinary pens. His aim is to be a criminal lawyer. Goodness aid the criminal! Here's a bright thought! “Joke could go bail for John D. if silence weren't golden. Honors: Business Mauser, Court (4): First Oratorical Prize 31; Debating Team (3) (4); Treasurer. Athletic Association (4): Student Council (4); Publicity Committee (4); Boys' Glee Club (2) (4r- VERNA LICHTENWALNER Brown Eyes V. Viola” Verna is preparing to teach. But we have our doubts about this, as we feel that she will devote her life to an entirely different type of work. Belfast might be small, but there seem to be some mighty interesting people there. Verna's musical ability has been our joy through our High School life. Verna has a leaning toward French characteristics—meaning that you can't better her in an argument. French was a joy Until a boy Cut in on the foreign pace. Honors: Court Start 4): Publicity Staff (3); Vice-President. Class (2): Glee Club (2) (4); Secre- tary. Literary Society (3); National Oratorical Contest Honors (3); Student Council (3); Pub- licity Staff Editor (4). Che Comet 1926 EVELYN MESSINGER Eve” Rockie A rush up the steps; a violent opening of the door; a slamming of books—and we have Evelyn. Dancing and men seem to play a big part in the life of this maid, but whatman wouldn't dance with one who is as accom- plished in the art as Evelyn? When she is somebody's stenog” she'll make Tillic the Toiler consider herself a back number. No party is complete without her and she hasn't any extra avoirdupois either. We'll just add that Evelyn's middle name is “Mary Jane. Honors: Glee Club (2): Treasurer. Commercial Club (4). ELIZABETH NEUNER Betty Lizzie” This one! Why every one knows her. for that's Elizabeth Ncuncr! Isn't it great to live within a stone's throw of the school building? Maybe that's the reason so much responsibility is usually shifted to “Betts. But. then, we must have some excuse for her effi- ciency. She's good-natured and jolly and cosy to tease. To know her is to be fond of her. She’s a fine hiker, too. To manage this wayward class is some job and we'll say for Betts that she should be a capable mule-driver after this year's experience. Honors: Class President (3) (4); Comet Staff (4); Glee Club (2) (4); Vice-President. Commercial Club (3) (4); Clats PUy 41; Student Council (3) (4); Vicc-Prctident. Claw (2). IRENE REIMER Renie” Reimer” Laugh and the world laughs with you. love and the males love too. Any one's birthday approaching—Irene would never miss the chance to plan a party, and they're some parties too! Irene's disposition is changeable as April weather, but she docs love to write poetry which is that kind of poetry. We never thought Irene resembled a rooster, but when Mr. Batt accuses the senior members in the main room of cawing” we suspect that's where the idea came from. Irene's pet ambition is to be a teacher and we'll say for her the pupils will be lucky to be tecchcd by such a kind- hearted damsel. Honors: Comet Staff (4); CUw Historian � ).- (2) (3) (4); Glee Club (2) (4). Nazareth PjJgh School FRANCES ROTH Fran Rothie” Frances is quiet, but everything about her spells friendliness. She's the youngest member of the class, but does she know what early to bed is? Not if the High School swains can help itl In spite of Rothie's many side attractions, she's loyal to her studies. Frances is one of the fairest of twenty- six’s maids. We were afraid when she declared she would shear her curls, but the result is so pleasing that we bid others to follow suit. Her mild nature is a balm on stormy days—nothing angers her and she is a real sport. Honors: Prendent. Student Council (4); Secretary. Literary Society (4): Glee Club (2) (4); Secretary and Treasurer. Student Council (3): Secretary and Treasurer. Music Club (4): Vice- President. Class (4); Publicity Committee (3). EVELYN RUNDLE PAUL RUSSELL Ronnie Hey Pauley Husky Edelmans surely did us a big favor when it sent Evelyn our way. Is silence golden? Evelyn, you must be a millionairess! (What she says though is worth while.) Promptness and dependability are always practiced by her. If she says she'll do a thing you can bet your last cent she'll do it—and that's all there is to it! Bills are usually liabilities to people, but Evelyn put her Bill on the other side of the balance sheet. Reference: Poe's Bells—fourth stanza. Honors: Glee Club (2) (4). After all has been explained, no matter what the subject. Paul is sure to get awake and ask what it was all about. After a lot of coaxing. Paul will do a lot. if a girl asks it. He is easy-going, but he very seldom misses a horse ride. Argue with him? It can't be doncl He'd agree with you so as to be polite or to save energy. His smiles are usually hearty grins of good-fellowship. He's a valuable asset to our basketball team and to our class. We could not do without him and we hope he'll find it hard to forget us. Honors: Class President (I): Student Council (I): President. Athletic Association (4); Glee Club 4): Class Play (4); Varsity Basketball (3) (4); Cosier Staff (4). Che Comet 1926 MARY SANDERCOCK Sandy Merry” Although Mary is on out-of-town stu- dent. she doesn't seem to miss many of the High School activities. Mary is usually very modest, but we have found one time when she “blow her own horn.” This is the time when dramatics appear on the horizon. Every one will testify that she is a good companion and a mighty good sport. We love her merry giggle and laughing eyes. Mary is a Latin-adept and is always willing to impart her knowledge to others. However. Mary knows her own mind. If she thinks she's right not even Solomon in all his wisdom could convince her otherwise. Honors: Class Play (4); Class Treasurer (2) (3) (4); Glee Club (2); Associate Editor. Conkt (4). CLETA SCHLEGEL Shorty “Clrta And here we have our own little Clcta— a good sport, faithful and kind-hearted. Cleta's voice is so well-modulated that it’s a job to ascertain her hopes and ambitions. We challenge the teases from Hcllcrtown to Bangor to ruffle her calm— temper is a thing unknown to her. If the state would require six hours of study in an evening. Clcta would acquiesce. She's what you would term the type of girl who wouldn't think of questioning the obey in that I will affair. Honors: Glee Club (2). DOROTHY SMART Smarty Dart Dot Jimmie Let us introduce to you our mathe- matical shark and Charleston fiend. When skirts and hair were shorn she wanted to follow suit, but instead she trumped—lienee the Jimmie.” Jimmie expects to go to Cedar Crest and we warn the Muhlenberg men: She comes, she goes, she has conquered. English professors say climaxes should appear at the finish, but Jimmie is too many climaxes to be analyzed. Honors: Glee Club (2) (4); Geometry Prlxe (2); Basketball (4). Nazareth fttgb School MILDRED STROUSE Milly Strousie Whenever we look at “Milly, we think the Hall and High School would do well to unite. “Milly is a happy-go-lucky lassie, but when she's interested in something she'll push till she knocks it over. This last year she has blossomed into a basketball whiz. The size of her opponent doesn't phase her at all. She jumps into the fight with wim. wigor and witality. She puts pep into a crowd and when she's around, conversation doesn't lag. for her tongue begins to wag. Honors: Glee Club (2) (4): Clan Play (4); Basketball (4). VIOLET VanNATTA 'Vi” “Violetta” Watch out. people, it's time to show you the beauties of the country. Vi's coming across the room. But don't put too much blame on this pretty classmate of ours—she simply can't make those blue eyes behave. Vi shines with our gang. Mr. Schwartz can't refute her arguments—by this we mean her vocal speed is too great for any one to cope with. Vi has a heavy correspondence and her admirers seem to have good taste as to what milady likes. We don't blame you. boys. Hoxors: Glee Club (2) (4); Class Play (4). FRANCES WOTRINC Reds Sunshine Clever and reserved, witty and sincere— that's “Reds. She seems to us to be a fine representative of '26—likeable and willing to work. She tells us she wants to be wise and an old maid, but when asked about our opinion of this we can only sav that Woman is at once the delight and terror of man. She was very essential to this book, as she is in most things she attempts—fudge making no exception. Honors: Editor-in-chief. Combt (4): Class President (2); President. Literary Society (4); Vice- President. Literary Society (3); Editor. Publicity Staff (3): Glee Club (2) (4); Varsity Basketball (2) (3) (4): Member Student Council (2) (3); Cias� PUy (4). Che Comet 1926 MARY WUNDERLY Wonder “Ha Ha” Now. you listen here. says Mary, and every one sits up and takes notice, because we know it'll be worth while or a real funny joke. Her ha! ha! is the most contagious in the Main Room and. in fact, at times permeates the entire building. She’s a good loyal senior and has a smile for every one. but who doesn't like to be disturbed in Mathematics class! Mary's capacity for cakes and tan- gerines made her desk the center of attraction during the last period in the afternoon. We've tried to persuade her to bob” her hair, but she staunchly sticks to her guns. Honors: Glee Club (2) (4). HOMER W. CHRIST. B. S. York-New Salem. Pa.

Josephine Kiefer Miss Kiefer, most unrecognizable of the famous class, is well known in the canine world. Her magnetic personality draws dogs from Poland to Australia. Her home for friendless dogs is a land- mark in the advancement of the cause of kindness to animals. Her motto is a very adaptable one— Want a friend? Love a dog. Mildred Strouse Madamoiselle Mille compounded the famous uni- versally known Pumpkin Beauty lotions. Members of the classes which followed '26 carried away the honors in the Northampton County Beauty Pageants due to the help of Madamoiselle Mille. Great honor is due her.

After her death, two years ago. they built in her memory a famous library con- taining a life-sized portrait, painted by her old friend. Miss Messinger. Geraldine Childress We can only say of Mrs. Jackson (nee Childress) that the Hoppers of '86 should study her life and heed her advice and follow her motto, Nature is invin- cible. Mrs. Jackson is a staunch supporter of the cause of anti-cosmetics. Her essays on the subject are used in the textbooks of the royalty of the conti- nent.

Sy Success and fame always attend those who labor well,” so who could question our present enviable position? Our first venture in search of the pot of gold was the sale of Lyceum tickets, in which all the classes participated. We were awarded the largest percentage of the surplus profits. We served appetizing meals in the gymnasium during the week of the Teachers’ County Institute, and realized quite an encouraging profit. Our heartiest thanks arc due those mothers who so kindly assisted us. In the matter of entertainment the Junior-Senior Reception ranks as the diversion of the year. Our committee did not spare time or labor to achieve something worthwhile. The harmonious color scheme of the decorations, the music, dancing, and games combined to give the revelers pleasure. As an American History Club we dramatized historical events, debated current questions, and rendered selections which were effectively delivered and well received. A trip to the Whitfield Museum served to increase our knowledge of local history. The class has a good representation in the orchestra, glee clubs, debating, and basketball teams. Our senior year is approaching. New thoughts, new life, new responsibilities arc gradually dawning upon us. Not as individuals, but as a class shall we go forth to meet them; for “In Unity There is Strength.” (37J M.

The first task intrusted to us was that of hazing the freshmen which proved an enjoyable occupation. We are proud of the fact that several boys and girls from the class are now playing on our varsity teams. We elected as our faculty advisor, Mr. Christ. We were all sorry to hear that he would leave, which he did at the beginning of the year. We consider ourselves very fortunate in being able to have Mr. Gorr as his successor. This year we had our first class party, which proved to be a great success. A History Club was organized under the guidance of Miss Nicholas for the purpose of increasing our interest in World History.

How proud we were and how happy to have at last found ourselves in the ranks of High School students. We were cordially welcomed by the upper classmen and soon became accus- tomed to the new methods and our regular routine of work. We soon organized our class, with Mr. Stocker as advisor, and now hold monthly business meetings. We have done our part on the assembly and Literary Society programs. It has been the custom of each Freshman Class to present a picture to the High School. Our choice was a portrait of George Washington. Quite a number of freshmen went on the annual hike to Saylor’s Lake in the fall and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Many of our boys and girls are active in basketball. There are several freshmen in the High School Orchestra, and freshmen voices help swell the choruses in the boys’ and girls’ Glee Clubs. In three years we hope to have a graduating class, of which the citizens will be proud, both in regard to number and scholarship. 1431 M.

Honorable mention was given to Helena Hcintzclman. AMERICAN HISTORY CLUB To create a greater interest in the history of our country and broaden our knowledge of current history an American History Club” was organized this year by the Junior Class, with Miss Nicholas as club sponsor. Two branches, the Lincoln” and the “Washington,” dramatized historical events, such as the meetings of the Stamp Act Congress” and Continental Con- gress”: debated questions of national importance, provided speakers who addressed the student body on “Local History.” and arranged historical trips which were much enjoyed by all. It is our aim to develop a vivid conception of American nationality, a strong and intelligent patriotism, and a keen sense of the responsibility of every citizen for national efficiency. The officers of the club were: Washington Branch—President, Ruth Lch; vice- Kresident, Kathryn Wunderly; secretary-treasurer, latilda Jcndricks. Lincoln Branch—President, Emma Bonscr; vicc- Rresident, Ellen Martin; secretary-treasurer, Enid linter. EUROPEAN HISTORY CLUB This new club organized by the Sophomore Class had for its object the study of foreign countries and through it the cultivation of a sympathetic under- standing of such nations and their people, an intclli- Nazareth fttgh School gent appreciation of their contributions to civilization, and a just attitude toward them. Meetings were held every two weeks in regular class periods, with Miss Nicholas acting as club sponsor. The following officers served during the first semester: Group I—President, Mabel Kahlcr; vice-president, Bernice Wambold; secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Metz. Group II—President, Leonard Snyder; vice-presi- dent. Harold Jones; secretary - treasurer, Henry Schlegel. Illustrations of the painting, sculpture, architecture, and handicrafts were used to show national charac- teristics. Books supplying the historical background of the periods studied were read by the members, and interesting book reviews presented at the meetings of the club. On the evening of March I Oth. a joint meeting of both groups was held in the High School Auditorium. After an interesting program had been rendered, the members and guests adjourned to the gymnasium, where group games were enjoyed and delicious refreshments served. As citizens of the United States, we hope that this training may fit us to take, not an isolated, but a co- operative part in the world movements of our time.

This is the first event of this kind given at the High School and it met with great success. The story of the Feast of the Little Lanterns centers around Princess Chan. The ancestral estate of Princess Chan is held in trust until the night of the feast of the Little Lanterns, when it shall be given to the two surviving chil- dren. Princess Chan lost her brother and sister when they were children at play in the mountain summer home. She is in great sorrow at the thought of losing her home, which, however, is saved for her. Various legends are woven into the text of the songs by the different choruses. The juggler-maid, Mai Ku, furnished entertainment and amusement. Ow Long, the governess to the Princess, is very pleasing in her ways. The little juggler-maid returns with the news from the emperor that the sister of the princess is alive. Orders are sent out that every place be searched. In searching the garden the little maid of the princess, Wee Ling, finds a locket which the juggler maid claims as hers, in which is found the half of a chain which exactly matches the one of the princess. They recognize each other as sisters and are overjoyed that the home shall continue to be theirs. The feast of the little Lanterns is progressing with gayety as the curtain falls. 160) Nazareth filgh School PROGRAM AND SYNOPSIS The operetta was presented in two acts, the following comprising the pro- gram: Act I Overture.........................................................Orchestra Chorus.......................................‘‘Pretty Little Lanterns Ahcc” Solo and Chorus......................................“On a Day Long Ago” Solo and Chorus........................“There Ought to be a Law in China” Solo and Chorus.....................................................“Ghost Song” Solo and Chorus...................................................

To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and of her) he steals his father's evening clothes. When his wooings become a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother steals them back, and has them altered to fit the ample form of her middle-aged husband, thereby keeping Willie home.

The evening’s formalities were opened with a grand march. The Faculty, acting as judges, awarded prize of prettiest costume to Dorothy Smart; most original. Thalia Marcks; the funniest to Arthur Weiss. The rest of the evening was spent in Hallowe’en frivolities and dancing. A Hallowe’en menu was served cafeteria style. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION On April 9th, the Junior Class delightfully enter- tained the Senior Class and Faculty at the annual spring reception. The ’’gym” was a true portrayal of an ideal spring garden. The color scheme was orchid and yellow. The entire stage was canopied with lattice-work from which hung orchid-shaded wisteria. The orchestra booth was decorated with trellis-work and plants. The Melody Boys furnished music for the dancing. Card playing was one of the main features of the evening. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Ralph Stocker, Daniel Rohn, Jacob Knccht, and Mildred Young. Prizes were awarded for other games to Theodosia Knauss and Mary Sandcrcock. The refreshments were most elaborate, being in harmony with the color scheme. SOPHOMORE HALLOWE'EN PARTY The Sophomore Hallowe’en party was held in the Whitfield gym” on October 30th. The gym” was beautifully decorated in Hallowe’en fashion, in orange and black. Ghosts, pumpkins and corn stalks were scattered in various parts of the gym” to give it a look of Hallowe’en witchery. The first thing on the program was the grand march, during which time the judges surveyed the costumes. The prize for the prettiest costume was awarded to Margaretc Getz, who represented’’Night”; the second prize was awarded to Isabelle Russell, dressed as a Dutch maiden. Leon Brong’s attire was judged to be the most original; he represented a Mexican. Walter Kostenbadcr and Leonard Snyder received the awards for the funniest costumes; they were dressed as Chinamen. The evening was spent in playing many games and Mr. Gorr made many shiver with his ghost stories. Delicious refreshments were the climax of this gay evening. ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL HIKE On a misty morning in October the students started away for Saylor’s Lake. The lusty cheers and songs soon drove away the clouds and the sunny skies matched the beaming faces of the hikers. One must admit that few hoofed” it, for who could resist the kind offers of lifts” along the turnpike? Che Comet 1926 Into the pavilion and to the grounds swarmed the gay ones and soon the air resounded with the music for dancing, the yells of the players and the cries of those who took to canoes and boats. At noon the hungry appetites of the girls and boys rivaled those of the chaperones (who forgot to be dignified). After a day brimful of fun. the merry-makers returned, the gaiety persisting until the very end. SENIOR EDUCATIONAL TOUR The Senior Class left on Tuesday. June 15th. for a trip to the nation’s capital. Leaving Philadelphia by steamer at 5 P. M. they spent the night in dancing, etc. They left Baltimore via a special fast electric train.

With some crowding room was found for the freshies. who were royally welcomed. The one cloud on the horizon was that many of our older friends were no longer with us. We miss every one and hope their new ventures will be as successful as their course was with us. A storm of anxietv has burst upon us. We were told that reports will not be given out until October 20th. Aren't you sorry that you can’t share in the deluge? Love. Betty Jo October 31. 1925 My dear Mimi: School was just one round of meetings, parties, campaigns and lessons this month. Delightful mix- ture. is it not? Quite a rush, too—several freshies fell up and down steps. Reports at last arrived and reassured (?) all of us. We then turned our attention to parties. As a result, we had strange gatherings in the “gyms” during Institute Week, which disbanded at late hours. JBr ee?es I hope the goblins didn’t git you. The magazine campaign was a great success, thanks to the splendid co-operation of the lower classes. Say, by the way. 1 wonder why school pupils like Institute Week. No doubt you agree with me that this is a spiffy subject for an essay. Lovingly, Betty Jo Monday, November 30. 1925 Dearest Mimi: Another month has just closed with our raft still afloat. Somehow, the waters were rougher and we encountered frequent storms, but. as a general rule, we all enjoyed the change. Thanksgiving Day and Armistice Day served as breakers” for us. The former witnessed—eats! ! The day following meant sorrow. Even the heavens sympathized with us by sending us rain as a sign of grief to accompany us on our dreary journey back to school. Today served to settle us back into our usual routine. As ever, Betty Jo I hc Comet 1926 December 24. 1925 Mitni. Dear: It is easy to write, isn’t it, when you can sec a promising vacation before you? The one subject of conversation this month was gifts and some more gifts. Santa was included in our rather large list of visitors. He was both generous and entertaining. Since seeing. The Birds’ Christmas Carol.” every one seems to have entered more into the spirit of the season. I’m afraid our little boat will feel quite deserted for a week or more. However, all of us arc coming back with the exception of Mr. Christ, who is going to board another vessel. The one consolation we have is his promise to come to see us whenever he is able to do so. With love. Betty Jo • January 29, 1926 Darlingcsl Mimi: Rough weather’s ahead. A terrible storm is brewing, but our captain and crew do not seem to be disturbed at all. As to the rest of us—we are busy acquiring life- savers in the form of textbook knowledge, so that we will have a passing chance. However, we have had many pleasant times. We thought we knew all about parties, but we find that we are just getting that experience now. Then, too, there are Literary and Musical meetings. We mustn’t forget them, as they prove a delightful diversion. And talking about diversions—notes surely come in that class. Let me add. there aren’t a few of them cither. We have lost the latest addition to the crew. Mr. Hutchinson. We were very sorry to see him go. as he was well-liked by all of us. Nuff’s said for this time. Always. Betty Jo February 27, 1926 My dear Mimi: The storm has come and gone. We are all happy (? ? ?) now. But cheer up! We know we’ll en- counter another before disembarking in June. A new Science teacher arrived with the opening of school this month and he rapidly established a friend- ship with the entire student body. This month was one of relaxation and every one seemed to have availed himself of the opportunity to rest up. The weather was extremely cold at times, but the coasting was wonderful. The pupils arc delighted (?) that they now have ample opportunity to read more books. (Book reports arc again the regular thing.) We know we can’t rest forever and have accepted the fact that there will be work to do next month. Love, Betty Jo March 31. 1926 Dearest Mimi: This certainly is a busy season. Tomorrow noon we desert school and give ourselves a vacation. Many things have occurred during the month. We heard two very fine lectures—the first by Dr. Flude, which was on China and Japan, while the second was by Mr. Joseph Mechanico on Indian life. Basketball has ended for the season. Debates and orations attracted a great deal of attention and aroused friendly competition. Preparations for a Junior-Senior Reception for which invitations have been sent out, and for the Senior Play and an Operetta arc being made. The latter is to be given by the Girls’ Glee Club. So, all in all, you see, our little vessel is just bubbling over with excitement. However, next month prom- ises to furnish even more. Love, Betty Jo (73) Nasarctb Fjigb School April 30. 1926 My dear Mimi: This month spelled WORK for us and not a little of it either. However, it was accompanied by fun galore, which amply repaid the laborious efforts. The preparations for the Senior Play, the sale of tickets and. finally, its presentation k pt our vessel in a bustle. The different school departments, teachers and lower classmen gallantly came to the aid of the Seniors who appreciate their kind efforts. Just at this moment, we are waiting for the pre- sentation of the play for its second successful evening. After that, we will look for other work to do. I will tell you of this work next month. With love. Betty Jo May 31. 1926 Mimi, Dear: Our voyage is rapidly nearing its close. (Seniors arc divided between joy and sorrow at the thought.) An exhibit and the presentation of “The Feast of the Little Lanterns” brought many townsfolk out to our vessel. Hikes began to attract attention from the pupils, as do all things which mean fun. Che Comet 1926 Reports were royally welcomed—and just as royally discarded by some pupils. Seniors are busy preparing for the Washington trip. Of course, every one is looking forward to exams (? ? ?) Anyway, what would school be without diversions? Food for thought, n’est-ce pas? Lovingly, Betty Jo June 25. 1926 Darlingcsi Mimi: This evening our boat touched shore. Solemn- faced Seniors bade farewell to the school which has become so endeared to them. However, at the beginning of the month, this same group was taking examinations and soon afterward formed a smiling traveling group. A few days later they returned, tired-out, but still smiling. However, now ceremonies are past and Senior farewells have been made. This day marks one of the happiest yet saddest days that we will ever have. There remains our farewell to you. Our short notes to you held few explanations and we wish to thank you for your patience in reading between lines,” also, for the interest which you took in them. And now—a sad farewell. Always, Betty Jo He failed in Latin, flunked in chcm; They heard him softly hiss “I’d like to find the man who said That ignorance is bliss.
