Here, generation after generation, they lived peacefully and hap- pily—that is, I should say, until just recently. But what was it that changed the lives of these two grasshoppers? That is precisely what I shall relate to you now. Three years ago, one mother grasshopper laid many eggs. Some months later, a pair of proud parents looked happily upon their one hundred and seventy-four newly born nymphs. Before I proceed, however, it is most necessary to tell you that these nymphs mature much faster (mentally and physically) than human babies. It was for this reason that mother and father grasshopper thought it best to send their one hundred and seventy-four “huskies” to school immediately. Somewhat hesitantly and bashfully these tiny nymphs hopped along to school. Unlike any other, their first school year was very quiet, indeed, although each one did admit he had a grand time at the Hallowe’en party. It was in their second year of seemingly educating themselves that the shy nymphs became very self-confident and participated actively in many school affairs. Their capability of being hosts was shown at the Junior-Senior prom. It was in this year, too, that their class rings were chosen. Much to the dismay of each nymph, there yet remained only one short school year ahead of them. In the fall of 1939 there remained only one hundred and fifty-one of the original one hundred and seventy-four nymphs—now eager young grasshoppers—striving to make their last year their very best. By a large margin, these grasshoppers “out- hopped” their neighboring schools athletically. Then, too, they presented a successful play and edited their fine year book, the “Comet.” Each one had a particularly grand time at the Christmas and Junior-Senior “hops.” Seated proudly in the front row at graduating exercises, mother and father grass- hopper admiringly exclaimed, “What a fine group of sons and daughters we have.” Alice S. Beck, Historian. twenty BETTY ACKERMAN “Betsy” “Hey! Nazareth!” Sounds like “Betsy” spurring Nazareth on to victory. She put everything she had into her cheer- ing.

HELEN CORTEZ Honey Here’s some more proof that the most beautiful girls are commercials. We are sure that Helen will be an asset to Nazareth High’s reputation if she enters the commercial field.

He’s a “wow” at slam- ming that ball around. How about trying to be a “wow” at your lessons, Johnny? Class Basketball () (2) (3). KATHRYN FLICK “Kathryn” Here’s a demure girl with brown hair and the almost lost art of blushing. Quiet and reserved, Kathryn stays out of arguments.

ALLEN FLORY “Floryism” Allen, one of the clowns of the senior class, has a special type of studying which he calls Floryism”—in other words, no studying at all.

Edward is a friendly sort of chap who thinks school would be more pleasant withoutn any school work. He’s proved to us that he’s a good sprinter and isn’t bad at “high jump” either. May he always jump over life’s problems with the same ease he shows on the athletic field. Track (1) (2) (3). DOROTHY FULMER “Dot” If all were quiet as “Dot”, Nazareth High would be a mausoleum. Neither the masculine sex nor sports has any appeal. Her one ambition is to be a stenographer, and her scholastic record has qualified her for a position. Commercial Club (2) (3); Science Club f2) (3); Blue and White Standard, Typist (2) (3); Comet Staff, Typist (3); Baseball (3). DONALD GEORGE “Don” As discus thrower on our track team, “Don” is indispens- able. This quiet young man ends his days by taking a turn around the block every night. Is there a reason, Donald? Commercial Club (2); Track (3). thirty-four J Uudeen JOHN GROLLER “John” Although John’s a whiz at baseball, the girls don’t seem to get to first base with him. He’s shy and conservative, al- ways weighing the question carefully before answering any arguments. Baseball (1), Varsity (2) (3). GEARY GUM “Geary” Geary is quite famous for his jokes and for his temper. He also possesses a very unusual collection of stamps. The rest of his spare time is spent in keeping up with the sports. Craft Club (1) (2); Town Hall (2) (3); Science Club (2) (3). ALLEN HAHN “Hahny “Hahny” spends most of his evenings at the Guf Station on Broad Street. Filling gas tanks, checking oil, or wiping wind- shields, he has an ever present smile. He always seems to be in a terrific rush to get out of school after 3:30. Why, Allen? Science Club (1) (2) (3); Town Hall (3). Comet. DOROTHY GRAVER «Dot” “Speak only when you are spoken to.” This is the golden rule by which Dorothy abides. Deep down in one corner of the room, one can find Dorothy working diligently, for she never gives up without a struggle. Commercial Club (2) (3). ETHEL GRAVER “Ether Ethel appears to be quiet and reserved, but give her a pair of skates, a nice stretch of ice, and she’s off. Ethel is the conservative type. She doesn’t believe in exerting ener- gy where she doesn’t have to. Commercial Club (2) (3). WALLACE GRAVER Graver “Graver” is busy studying at 7:00 a. m. every morning because he believes in hard work and a moderate amount of play. He gets his daily exercise, however, as he strolls around the block at noon with a certain senior. Ihirly-six Track, varsity (2) (3); Science Club (2) (3). HERBERT GEORGE Herbie This young gentleman is quite an enthusiastic commercial student. He is fond of bookkeeping and takes a special in- terest in calculating machines. His outside interest is cen- tered chiefly around stamps and postal cards. Track (1); Commercial Club (1); Athletic Council (1) (2) (3). MAE GINTHER Mae” That quiet commercial student with a pleasant smile is none other than Mae. Her special interest centers on the boys’ sports. We wonder why?

MAE GOGEL Mac” Mae’s principal characteristics are her clear piping voice and her smail stature. At first impression she looks like a shy, silent girl, bu� after becoming acquainted, Mae talks freely on subjects ranging from Hitler’s recent conquest to new styles in shoes. thirty-seven C'ie Cornei. WILLIAM HAHN “Bill” “Bill’s” broad shoulders and strong physique have helped our football team quite a bit. His pleasing personality and loyal friendliness have made him a popular student, espe- cially with the girls. He has displayed his beautiful tenor voice in musical activities and spends a great part of his spare time experimenting in the Lab. “Bill” expects to go to Lehigh to study mechanical engineering.

Assistant Business Manager (3). Anna’s the girl her classmates rush to when they want to comb, because her desk mirror is the envy of all the girls. Her favorite pastimes arc reading and sewing. Anna says she’d like to be a nurse, but she’ll probably change her mind later. Science Club (3). “Blondic' ANNA HAHN DORIS HALDEMAN “Loui” Brown eyes, mousy voice, and a messy desk are charac- teristic of Doris. She likes to go to the movies, roam through the five-and-ten, and have her voice recorded. Perhaps some- day she’ll have time for the more serious side of life. Blue and White Standard (1) (2); Volley Ball (3); Sci- ence Club (3). Ihiriyeipht WILLIS HAPPEL “Willis” Willis is our original genius. From cartoons to his hair- rising murder-mysteries, he is sure to provide entertain- ment. His dramatic ability was demonstrated in his por- trayal of Davenport in the senior play. Then, too, he is Mr. Knecht’s right-hand man on the paper stall.

ALFRED HOFFMEISTER “Al” A comedian and fatalist, “AF is really a good fellow to know. Outside of school his time is spent playing his guitar and chasing after females. Blue and White Orchestra (1). thirty-nine the Comet. HAROLD HOUSER “Houser” Here’s the boy from room 11 who likes to travel. Driving a truck around the country is loads of fun; at least, that’s “Houser’s” opinion. The Detroit blizzard was very exciting, wasn’t it. Harold? Class Basketball (1) (2) (3). ELENORA HUMMEL “Elenor” This pleasant girl, fond of sports and dancing, hails from New Jersey and thinks there is no place quite like it.

ROBERT HUTH This happy-go-lucky lad is seldom seen without his wad of chewing gum. As half of the team of Hahn and Huth, whose office is the Lab., he is usually participating in some experiment.

With such a personality we feel sure Bobby” will have no trouble in gaining many friends at Perkiomen Prep, his future Alma Mater.

The other lad was William Hahn Whose noon hour was occupied The lab would be his dining room While others dined outside. And last, but not least, is Bud Knecht Who never learned chemistry enough He wished that he knew what William knew. So he would never have to bluff. Gladys Kromer seienty-ont C me L The Class Prophecy IT was great news when we heard that Harold Knecht, head gardener at Fischer’s Nurseries, had discovered some strange weed growing in one of the rows. As he was about to pull it out, he noticed a shiny white crystal on the end. The next day, the plant was twice its size and the crystal was slowly growing into a magnifying glass. About a week later, the little weed had grown into an enormous tree, which we could see all the way from Nazareth. Our greatest surprise came when we learned that Harold, the nosey guy, had climbed the enormous plant and had peered into the telescope. Turning it towards Moorestown, he focused it upon Anna Hahn’s home. Instead of finding her studying English, he found her rocking a baby crib with a cute little boy in it. Could it be that this magic crystal was a “futuroscope”? He had often heard that Don Detweiler wanted to be a manual training teacher like his dad. Therefore he focused the lens upon Wilson High School, which wasn’t very far away. There was Don, helping a young student make a wooden fruit bowl! Immmediately Harold called us up and told us the startling news. In a flash we rushed down to the nurseries with pencil and paper to find out what our classmates would be doing in the future. And what surprises awaited us! Ignatz Klepeis’ name came to my mind first. Quickly I flashed the “futuroscope” towards Bath. There stood the Klepeis Bakery Shop. “Iggie” was inside making cup- cakes while his chief assistant, Harold Houser, was icing them. At that moment Char- les Betz entered with a satchel. He was selling mouse traps and egg beaters. After Mr. Betz had been politely removed by the manager, Walter Kopfer, I turned the magic lens towards the Penn-Dixie Cement Plant.

In the story, the Hagetts are at peace with world until someone suddenly realizes the value of several Christopher Bean paintings which are in their possession. At this time, several people try to claim the paintings but Abby, the Haggett maid and Chris- topher Bean’s widow, comes upon the scene and makes everyone remember their sense of decency just in time for a happy ending. The cast of characters included: Dr. Haggett—Stanley Woodring Susan Haggett—Mildred Moyer Abby—Lorraine Frey Mrs. Haggett—Jeanne Searles Ada Haggett—Vivian von Steuben Warren Creamer—Robert Huth Tallant—John Strohmeyer Rosen—Frederick Reimer Davenport—Willis Happel The committees in charge of production were: Dramatic coach: Miss Sloat.

This is a typical scene in the Nazareth High School gym on the evenings when parties are being held. The students who are not swiftly gliding over the dance floor can be found eagerly awaiting their turn to play ping pong or one of the other games available. Both students and faculty members enjoy these happy evenings that comprise the social life at Nazareth High School. The seniors had the honor of opening this festive season with a Halloween Dance. They danced in an atmosphere made weird by black cats, witches, pumpkins and corn- stalks. The music was furnished by recordings, and, during intermission, orange sodas, cookies, apples, and cake were served. The Hallowen spirit prevailed. A pleasant Thanksgiving Party and Dance, sponsored by the Student Council, was an informal or “sport” dance. Sophomores, juniors, seniors, and faculty members dan- ced to the melodious strains of the Blue and White orchestra, and the music met the desires of all the dancers—even the jitterbugs. The color scheme was orange and the special features of the program included the Spotlite and Elimination Dances. The Christmas Dance, again sponsored by the Student Council, was a gay, joyful affair. Santa Claus was there to welcome everyone with a cheery “how-do-you-do” and a pop-corn ball. The Blue and White Orchestra furnished the music and, after inter- mission, everyone joined in singing Christmas Carols under the direction of Mr. Reitz. one hundred Prom DING, dong! The clock has struck nine and the Junior-Senior Prom is in full swing. It is the evening of May tenth and the juniors are entertaining the seniors and faculty members. The lights are dimmed and the enticing rhythms of Mark Hilburn and the Nomads’ Orchestra help to create the atmosphere of a lovely May festival. The dancers are in a carefree mood as they glide over the floor amidst the dainty pastel decorations of crepe paper and balloons gracefully swaying in their position from the center of the ceiling. Those who are not dancing are provided with games especially for their enjoyment. During intermission sandwiches, cake, and root beer were served, and happy chuckles were heard from all directions. During this time, Doris Hoch, president of the junior class, cordially welcomed the guests, while Andrew Sterlachini, president of the senior class, acknowledged the welcome. one hundred one 'T'be C m L First row: WCNDERLY, W.

When aliens come to the United States, they cannot be citizens until they have been fertilized. A city purifies its water by filtering it and then forcing it through an aviator. Robert Louis Stevenson got married and went on his honeymoon. It was then that he wrote “Travels with a Donkey.” Milton was a blind poet who wrote “Paradise Lost.” When his wife died he wrote “Paradise Regained.” The laws of the United States allow a man only one wife. This is called monotony. The thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution abolished the negroes. The American government finally decided to put the Indians in reservoirs. Seats of Congressmen are vaccinated every two years. An abstract noun is something you can’t see when you are looking at it. Edison was the inventor of the indecent lamp. Artificial perspiration is the way to make a person alive when they are only just dead. There are two parts to the sentence, the subject and the predicament. Natural immunity means catching a disease without the aid of a doctor. Nicotine is such a deadly poison that a drop of it on a dog’s tail will kill a man. Short Stories Hill. Car. Tree. Tire. Bang!
