The moon was shining clearly, As Clearly as e'er sh-e had shone, While warm spring breezes were blowing, As gently as e'er they had blown. But there's sorrow in one of the classes, For their hopes of victory have fled, And the crown of laurels she sought, Now adorn her opponents head. And now the Seniors are crowing, As loudly as e'er they can crow, And defeat the Juniors are knowing. As only the juniors can know. And their eyes filled with tears of sorrow, For they've met an awful defeat, And their brave but disheartened defenders Now are forced to take a back seat.

Pauline Royer O bl UN IQR CLASS HISTORY FTER the beautiful High School was built in IQIO, it was whispered among the lower grades that the electric clock in the principals room was an ingeniius device that tends to sep- arate the wheat from the chaff . Applying this to the Junior Class, there is noted a sad relation. This clock in IQI2 tinklecl in the ears of fifty freshmen. which number dwindled to twenty-nine as we marched along not with-out some credit. through the curriculum in the first three years of the course. To-day the score and nine are emblematic of the sturdy oak which from the little acorn grew . Wfe are some timber . Everybody in N. H. S. except the other classes and the faculty, acknowledges it. We are wading through the Slough of Languages, English. La- tin, French Zlllfl German, without faltering and our mathematical ac- coinplishmeiits are similarly without blemish. Our forensic ability is of no mean quality as the Seniors will ad- mit. lYe sure did give them a scare in the lnter-Class Debate. Then we have some of the best athletes in the entire student body. Holly gives a run to all other claimants for athletic honors and we still talk of the achievements of Peachy who was released to Mercersburg .fXcademy last year. Clihiorfl. one of our two cartoonists. won the marathon in the 1914 Field Day and Foster pushed his bicycle under the wire ahead of the other contestants. And what with a poet con- tinually putting our nonsensical doings into rhyme? VVe have not enumerated all our speed artists. Parson Kern's Hfty nine and l-lancly XNeitlcnecht's fifty two words a minute on the Unclerwood keyboard are now records. And again the Juniors are a class of vocalists whose absence after a year more of it, will be felt all arounrl. The above recounts but few of our many distinctions and with a year more to go, we will set up many more records of worthy achieve- ments. Wle bear watching. The faculty can attest to that particular phase of our busy-bee life in the N. H. S. Long live the memory of the Class of 1916! M.

TH E INTER-CLASS DEBATE o HE annual journey ol' the earth in its orbit around the sun brings with it lots oi pleasure, opportunities and happiness to High School students. lfVe enjoy these things in our gen- eral routine of school work. Probably the happiest time of the year for the two upper classes was the Amiuial lnter-Class Debate on the question: Reszalzfcd, That Wfar is not Detrimental to the Progress of Civilization , which was held on the even-ing of April 30th. The two hostile armies-the junior Affirinatives and the Senior Negatives-were slcirmishing around the famous Auditorium battle- ground for about live weeks before hostilities really began. The Juniors were under the leadership of H. Farber, Herman and S. Farberg while the Seniors were heroically led by Generals Kaslovsky and Shafer, ably assisted by Head Nurse Lesher. Finally the commanders of both armies drew up their forces on the famous Auditorium platform, and on the thirtieth day of April of the year Nineteen Hundred Fifteen probably the greatest battle in the history of the forensic world took place on the above mentioned battlefield. Both armies advanced and were each in turn driven back thru the skill of the leaders of both sides. Hostilities continued for some time. when the judges stepped forth and acted as a board of ar- bitrators, deciding that all maneuvers should cease and proclaimed the Seniors the able-bodied champions of the iight. To be sure. the curious crowd of spectators quickly agreed with the Judges. Immediately after the crowning of the champions the vast Senior army responded with- their impressive class songi tvg 1.3.3 - , , Q3 THE ORATORICAL CONTEST 0 NE of the most instructive public performzances of our high school is the Oratorical Contest. held annually on Lincoln's Birthday. This Contest -is always looked forward to as the time when the best along the lines of elocution that the Senior Class contains is brought before the public as well as the time whensome one can earn a grand prize besides the honor of being able to speak. This year's contest was one of the grandest successes that our high school has had along this line. Every member acquitting him or her- self in the very best style. Thru the entire performance in which eight persons spoke each between 800 and Iooo words, there was but one slight stumble on one word. This, as every one will testify, isavery good record. The eight mem-bers, whom the class had chosen as the contestants were Margaret Kanyuck, Pearl Lesher, Edith Nieman, Grace Lauer. Daniel Kocher, Jacob Kaslovsky, Williani Strauss and Elmer Sh-afer. As usual four prizes were offered, tw-o S10 gold pieces. one for the best girl speaker and the other for the best boy and two S5 gold pieces for the second best of each sex. The subjects were as follows: Margaret Kanyuck ............. To Him that Hath Pearl Lesher ....... .. America, the Cruciblel' Edith Nieman .L. .. A Homeless Nation Grace Lauer . .. ..... Individual Efficiency Daniel Kocher .. ........ Made in America jacob Kaslovsky .. . A Nation VVithiu a Nation NVilliam Strauss .. ........... A Ship at Sea Elmer Shafer ......................... Amierica's Achievements For about an hour and a half a crowd that nearly filled the audi- torium was entertained by the speaking and music of the high school orchestra, then followed the nerve racking wait for the judges' deci- sion. During this time the orchestra tried to relieve the audience and contestants, but it was of no avail. So grandly had each one taken his part that nothing could quiet the great anxiety that prevailed. Even in the large audience o-pinion was greatly divided, none of the speakers -QU- holding an advantage in any way. After about ten minutes of suspense the judges returned and Att. Everett Kent presented the prizes. Isle gave a few introductory re- marks and then awarded Grace Lauer and Elmer Shafer the STO prizes and Pearl Isesher and Jacob Kaslovsky the S5 prizes. In his remarks Att. Kent plainly stated that none of the contest- ants needed to feel down hearted if they had failed to obtain a prize, for after having Hnished their parts in such a fine manner. the distinction and honor they had gained for themselves was a reward in itself. He also stated that it had been exceedingly difficult for the judges to decide just who had merited the prizes, but they had at last decided on the four mentioned above. The following are the two first prize orations: INDIVIDUAL EFFICIENCY NDIVIDUAL efhciency is, or ought to be, the highest desire of every life. To be competent. capable and efficient in some department of human endeavor. is a most laudable ambition. To be healthful. intelligent. contented, happy and at the same time use- ful, is the unvoiced aspiration of every heart. To leave the Wo-rld purer, holier, happier. richer and better than you found it, is a purpose as lofty as it is worthy. In short. to run th-e race of life successfully and win honorably bv reason of merit and efficiency, is an ambition that ought to find a habitation in every human soul. Efficiency is the science of self-management. It is the difference between wealth and poverty. power and weakness, health and disease. Efficiency makes kings of us all. Yet -it is estimated that seventy-three men out of every hundred are in the wrong jobs: that 'most men utilize only about a third of their mental and spiritual forces. Does not this show us that the American people should strive for efficiency? The American slogan is efficiency. WVe aim at world-supremacy. And the world-master must be first a self-master. England has had the efiicient navy, Germany the efficient army, France the efficient house- hold, Italy the efficient art, japan the efficient hygiene, Scotland the ef- ficient thrift. And America? The eiiicient NERVE. We will try anything, and try for anything. Our destiny lies in our daring. Our nationls flag is the stars and stripes, because we aim at the stars,-and smile at the stripes! -21- just as America is efficient, the individual must be efficient. His first great aid to efficiency is a definite purpose. Dr. Vlordan quotes: The world stands aside for the man who knows where he is going. This is absolutely true, and he who is not driving toward some definite end, seldom gets to any destination worth reaching. Aim before you fire and remember that 'Klt is the shot that hits which counts. A blind man does not malce a good carpenter. He cannot saw to the line, or hit the nail on the head. And many of the mis- fits of life are merely blind carp-enters. They have strength to do the work, but they fail to see the nail they would hit or the line to which they should hew. Purpose makes effort efficient. Scientists tell us that there is enough energy in 'fifty acres of sunshine to run all the machinery of the world. But the trouble is. We can't focus it to a point and hitch it to the world's work. So many a man of boundless energies lacks the sun-glass of a settled purpose: as a result he never concentrates his power to a given point, and hence fails in emergencies to burn a pathway through all opposition to the desired end. Sailing, not drifting, is the motto of the man who wins and who serves his day and generation. The young man. who really serves the best interests of the race and rounds out a career of efficiency, must face life's problems with a high and dehnite aiim. Greatly begin! Though thou have time For but a line, be that sublime. Not failure. but low aim is crime. The second great aid that will help to give efficiency is energy. But in order that he may be energetic he must have Health and Equip- ment. The first step toward efficiency is to safeguard life and health. The United States Steel Corporation has expended since nineteen hun- dred and six CIQOGTH, more than five million dollars CSS5.ooo,ooo.ooD. on sanitation and precaution as expressed in the slogan Safety First . Consequently, serious and fatal accidents have been reduced forty- three per cent, and over twenty-three hundred employees now escape injury every year who would have been killed or disabled without the benefits of this Safety First campaign. The individual must have a sound body, in order that he may em- ploy his miud to do efncient work. This must be the product of proper care, rest and recreation. VVith all the safeguards to health that -22- modern science and an educated public has made possible, inefficiency of the individual cannot be said to be due to lack of health but rather to the lack of observing the well known laws of health. But to use his bodily energy most efhciently he must have the equipment of good education. The National Association of Corpora- tion Schools has concluded that. in order to extend the American in- dustries to foreign commerce, it will be absolutely necessary to train and educate the employees better. Education added to the sound body w-ill make for efficiency. Edu- cation inlinences the youth and even the adult to seek a short cnt to the mountain of his success. Proper education is the gateway for ser- vice. The individual seeks to find the shortest and easiest way to the most important service. he can render. Xl-'hen once his highest goal is service, then only he becomes efficient. With all the aforesaid qualities he must be persistent. One stroke seldom drives a nail however sharp its point. Golden harvests that wave their welcome to the reaper and pour out their treasure to the husbandman are not the result of a single shower. lt takes more than one wave to polish the rock and to rim the ocean's beach with velvet Sand. And the young man who would triumphantly sail into any port of life worth entering, must feed the furnaces of his ehiort with the fuel of persistency. He may, and often will be disappointed with what he accomplishes: but let him remember lf, what shown afar so grand Turn to nothing in your hand. On again-the virtue lies ln the struggle, not the prize. At the siege of Port Arthur, the laps selected their position, planted their guns, aimed them deliberately at what they believed the weakest point in the enemy's works, and then fired. Hour after hour, and day after day their cannon tbundered without any visible results. But with serene purpose, calm confidence, and stolid persistency they continued to load, aim and hre. Like ten thousand battering rams the storm of shells hammered the walls until they could stand it no longerg they staggered. tottered, crumbled, fell, and one of the greatest sieges of modern times was ended. So if the individual would succeed, he must load, aim and fire again and again. and still again till the walls that stand athwart the pathway of his progress toward efficiency are battered 1nto fr'1gn1ents 'll'lCl pounded 1nto S'1l'lCl Above all let us I'6IT1Cl'11bS1 tl1at SCYVICS 15 the measure of l1un1'm CHTCICIICY What can you do?

Then men's hearts beat faster, as the great sun of liberty began to appear above the horizon. Then tyranny and oppression trembled in their foundation and then it was that the seeds of that liberty, for which all humanity craves, were sown in American toil, where they have grown into a glorious vine whose mysteri-ous fragrance has charmed the world, till every race has craved to burst the monarchial fetters that bind them and to enjoy with America the sweet fruits of the vine of Liberty. To give to man that blessing, personal liberty, which to life is the greatest human blessing, is not a slight achievement and to accom- plish- such a task, a people must have m.ore than the natural tendency for that object. This fact has caused many people to believe Ameri- cans are a people chosen by God to be the propagandists of liberty, or they could never have achieved as they have. Every nation that to- day has a republican form of government or that gives her people their deserved liberties must admit they were spurred on to this by Americas example. Showing the oppressed people of the world that liberty is not an impossibility and pointing out the way by which it is to be obtained. is Americas first and one of her greatest achievements. From an economic standpoint, Amenica has also made some won- derful achievements, foremost among which is the construction of the Panama Canal. This great waterway is at the same time, a great scientific and engineering accomplishment. Nothing in the history of man can be compared to it. Even the old pyramids of Egypt and the beautiful temples of ancient Rome, which for years stood unrivaled as the wonders of the world, had to give way to a product of Ameri- can genius when the Panama Canal was completed. As an economic achievement, the Canal effects the world. lt cuts the distances between most of the trading centers in half and it forms a cheap-er and a great time saving route between all the nations of the earth.

For years Europe has used her genius, not to ohtain peace, but to perfect a death dealing machine. today she is paying the price of her folly, while America rests in peace. Now the world can see the real greatness of Americas achieve- ments. No longer need she ask, how do the hopes and fears of human- ity rest on the fate of America? The answer is only too evident, for it is written in the blood of nations, it is engraved in human flesh. Yes, America has shown the world that international peace is pos- sible, but our task is not finished yet, for we in America hold in our hands the fate of the coming years. the destinies of the world, but shame and disgrace will he ours, if we allow the lustre in our eyes to become dimmed. if we train in the dust of golden hopes of men . And since this is the task for us to fulfill, let us show ourselves competent. let us put our shoulders to the wheel and strive to achieve as we have achieved. let us make a monument of our nation, an imposing structure dedicated to achievement, upon which individuals as well as nations may gaze, and when in the hour of despair, they behold its grandeur, they may again take heart and strive to achieve once more. Then will we have accomplished our share, then will the first and only world empire he formed, not one of power and dominion such as Napoleon sought, but one of ideas and achievements in which Ameri- can productions will be the ruling factor.

The piano has suffered some since these indi- viduals are in the group, for Miss Semmel is a second Paderewski and various maneuvers are gone th-ru' in the rendering of her part. Miss Newhard fails to watch her notes, as she is continually watching the cute fellows in the audience and the discords fill the auditorium. N-ext come the violinists. f'Dan Kocher, Harold Shoemaker, Lewis Meixler, Gladys Newhard, joseph Kivert, Arthur VVolf, Jacob Kas- lovsky, Ralph Bartholomew. Harold Frey and Bertha Miller. All these consider themselves the best and each one tries to see who can make the most noise. Imagine the result yourself. Then we have the clar- ionet players, jacob Sheetz and George Schissler, the former who con- tinually puts spit into his instrument and makes more noise than music. The cornet players, Earl Hawk and Steph-en Zapp, are pretty good in their blowing but the latter one mentioned is never sure of a note and when he feels he is right he is apt to try and make himself heard above all the rest. VVe also have a trombone player who drowns the other instruments to such an extent that noth-ing else can be heard. VVith all these members and instruments it is probable that the Cr- chestra will continue to uphold its reputation and w-ill make a hit everywhere. D,xN11a1. TCOCHER, 1915. O VOCAL MUSIC A E feel that we are fortunate in having so large a number of students vitally interested in the subject of Vocal Music. Especially are we proud of our G-irls' Glee Club, which has made several public appearances during the year. and sung in a very creditable manner. The Class of 1915 has done very much to make the High School mnsic a success. So talented a class in this line were they, that they themselves furnished all the vocal music for their commencement exer- cises. Nearly half of this class are represented in church choirs in the community, which fact speaks highly for their keen interest in vocal music. 'We feel proud of the large mnnber of boys in High School whose voices are developing beautifully, and who will, no doubt. add much to the happiness of many a future home. AMY M.

In former years High School could not boast of very much in the line of Athletics, but this year there was a base-hall team and a basket-bal-l team that were worth the space they take up in this Book. The floor in the George VVolf Building which was not completed until late in February, was the cause of a great deal of delay, so that the team only played five games this year. And those with very little practice. The first game with the Allentown Commercial School in which our boys appeared in hrand new suits, was represented by the follow- ing line-up, which played all of the regular gZ1l'I'lCS. Shafer F Deily F Farber C lCapt.j Schissler G Hess G These men played like veterans winning the fracas to the tune of I7-13. f'Our first victoryl.

They lost quite frequently. but even a tabulated boxscore would not show how good the team really played and how luek broke against them in almost every game. Teams that have never made their appearance here before were seen on the diamond and they were on a whole stronger teams than were ever tackled before in our history, hence our low scores. But credit must be given to both the coach and team for their untiring energy, which alone made this team the best one in the annals of the High School.

HE second annual Field day held by the high school at the George X'Volf Building, on May 29, was a decided success. , The afternoon was so crowded with events, that two or more were run off at the same time. The officials, High School and Gram- mar School teachers. ran these events off in great style and it was through these men that the meet was a success. .Unlike last year the Grammar Schools held their Held day the same time In the lrligh School Meet. Edwin l-less, a Senior, carried off the honors after a hard struggle, when he heat 'Paul Bachman to the high score by two points. l-less scored a total of twenty-two points. win- ning the gold medal, while Bach-inan took second place with twenty points, Schissler. another freshman, took third position with. a total of twelve points. The events of the afternoon and the three highest contestants were T00 yard dash: Bachman flrstp Hess second, Schissler third.

Both runners kept up a steady trot throughout the course. but in the last lap Schissler's endurance alone beat out Miller, who added a little spurt when near the tape. This spurt was Millers finish. as it was too much for him: he :Fell and Schissler then took the lead and ran away with the marathon and the SZM gold piece, the prize. Both boys deserved the prizes. and Schiss. is very proud of the gold piece which he now jingles in his pocket. while Ted is sure to have h-is coat open so that the girls can see his medal, which by the way is suitably inscribed on the hack. The relav race of one mile, between the four classes, was won by the Juniors, the Seniors taking second place, while the Sophomores finished third. The Freshman team failed to cr-oss the tape. although they had a big lead in the second lap. -37- N. H. S. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION O N july 26, IQI4, the Graduates of Alliance High School met at the home of Mrs. Kathryn Coutant Canavan for the pur- pose of forming an Association. Mr. Harry Rice 'O2 was chairman of the meeting. The name adopted was Alumnae and Alumni of the Central High School of Alliance . It was decided to form a constitution, after which the following officers were elected: President. Harry Rice 'C2: First Vice President. Alfred Markle 'o3: Second Vice President, Mrs. Clara VVarta Debbie 'O33 Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Kathryn Coutant Canavan 'ogz Recording Secretary. Mrs. Edna 'Willnian Goad 'o2: Treasurer. Miss Mary Howell 'o2. The membership at the first meeting numbered seventeen, comprising the classes of '02, '03 and 'o4. The Association retained its old name until IQOQ, when it was ci:- cided to revise the constitution and change the name of the Association owing to the change in the name of the borough. The name decided upon was, The Alumni Association of the Northampton High School. Since its inception. the Association has assisted considerably in the development of a better High. School. lt offers yearly prizes amount- ing to twenty-five dollars to members of the graduating class for profi- ciency in various departments. In addition to this it aims to proznote a closer friendship among its members by holding an animal banquet and by giving dances and other social functions throughout the year. A Dramatic Association was organized in connection with the Asso- ciation, which rendered The Spider's lVeb and The Girl from Ari- zona , which, in addition to displaying the histrionic ability ot the members, added greatly to the financial condition of the Association. During the brief period of our organization that Grim Reaper has exacted its toll and deprived us of beloved friends and classmates. Four of our members have gone To join the innumerable caravan, That moves to that mysterious realm, W'here each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of Death. The first to depart from our midst was Miss Elsie Fenstermaker FOQ, who died within a year after her graduation. Since then, Mrs. Edna VVillman Goad '02, Miss Evelyn Rlumer '11, and Mrs. Clara Wai'ta Debbie '03, have been visited by Death. The Association today numbers almost 150, including in its mem- bership thirty-two graduates and under-graduates of various Universi- ties. Seminaries, Colleges. Normal Schools and Preparatory Schools, lt is on a Hrm has-is and has promises of a brilliant future. The officers serving at present are: Pres., Thomas Blumer 'IOC Vice Pres., Blanch Lauer '10: Recording Sec., l-lelen Newhard '10: Financial Sec., Helen Reinhard '04: Treasurer. Ray Kiechel 'o7g Trus- tees, l.-larry Rice '02, Harold Best '10, Katie Raubenhold '06.

HERE is a school organization in our town of which little is it is very worthy of the greetings which we now extend to known, in fact it is just coming into the lime light, but still the members of the same. This organization is no other than the Allen Township Alumni Assfociation. On May 14, '15, a number of the graduates of the schools of Allen Township, which comprised the school builcliings located at North Ca- tasauqua, Howertown, Kreidersville, Northaniption and Lincoln's, near Seeiinsville, met at Northampton and elected the following oflicrrs: ' President, Howard Vlfuchter, '96 Secretary, Elvin Raub, '99 Treasurer, Samuel Snyder, '97 It was alsodecided to hold a reunion in the near future and notice of the same has been forwarded to some of the mentbers, but as the classes are scattered to a great extent and many of the ladies have changed their names. it has been impossible to reach everybody: so any of the graduates of the classes of '96, '97 or '99, who have not re- ceived notice, will please let the same be known to on-e of the officers. Wlith this we extend the greetings of the class of '15 to the newly formed Allen Township Alumni and wiish them greatest success in thc enterprise they have undertaken, as it will adord great pleasure to this class and all the readers of this book to hear from them in the next publication.

Ted was always a pretty good fellow, that is, at blowing. It is a fact that he is the blower of our High School heating and ventilatingsys- tem and it is a question how to heat the build- ing after Ted's hot air' is gone. Furthermore he boasted of being the most popular among the female sex, which is true. College has been president of the class for quite a while, which cdice he holds because his gi.rl friends gave it-to him. He was an athlete, in so far as he was on the basket ball and base ball teams and also tock an important part in the annual Field day exercises, winning the gold medal for the year IQIS. He expects to become a civil engineer, Here we are all united in the opinion that at the age of 115 he wi.ll make use of all the trigonometry and geometry formulas he can End in order to get the exact relation between his bank account and his wife's new hat. GRACE IRENE LA UER . CGRACEJ The name, Grace, might seem small and in fact it is, but then again i.t is not, for oh, my Gracious is some dame. Our most accurate measuring de- vice disclosed a sec-ond Iess VVillard in height and reach. But never mind, Grace was always a good class-mate, always wore at smile, and had enormous manners. One of her good qualities was her singing. Sing! you can hear her amile away and after she graduates we can already -see her making her debut in the Grand Opera in Paris in the role of La Paglaeci, filling the vacant space of Mlle. Melba. VVe certainly wish you success and hope your future will be bright. -45.. ? EDWIN NEUMOYER DEILEY CEDD Deiley dropped into our class at the beginning of the fourth year, having come from Coplay High. Ed was a good fellow, but had some bad luck, that is, he was pestered with abcesses on both his feet due to jumping center for the bas- ket ball team. In both basket ball and base ball he was a star and was worthy of being called an athlete. Deiley was liked by the entire class. But Ed intends to take up the ministry after leaving school and if he makes a success at this profession, as we hope he will, he will preach the sermon when the class holds its reunion some- where around the year 1930. CLARENCE EARL SLOTTER One of the pieces of misery that found place to waste its wonderful intellectual powers in our hiqh school was Clarence Earl Slotter. better kncwn as Slats. Slats was pretty good in some things, but quite yellow in athletics. In this re- spect he was not only yellow as far as taking part was concerned, but in supporting the basket- ball teaxn as well. In mcst of the games, Clar- ence gave the visiting team their best rooting. At the Alumnae-High School game, he was chief rooter for the Alumnae, but this was because of the fact that Slats performer a puppy duty for one of the Alumni players, who still con- tinues to lead Slotter arcund at the end of a string. Clarence intends to be a banker and we can see him already, banking anything but bank notes. .45- im SAMUEL TILGHMAN KECK Q Here it is, give it the once over. Donlt look at it side-ways or you won't be able to see it at all. Si. was a pretty good tsptrl while he lived in town, but the farm is sure to spoil him. Si is very fond of one or two Seniors and very much so of one Junior. One of Si's great dith- cnlties was to keep quiet while in sehool, while another was to keep movingi' as he had, or rather has a very tired feeling. Si'-s chief partner in crime was Ted Hess and when these two were together there was sure to be some fun or some misery for the faculty. He tried several times to make good as an athlete, on the lfasket-ball floor and on the diamond, but his long legs Seemed to. hinder him, so that he finally gave up the attempt as a bad job. But unlike several Seniors, Si was a true sport and never gave up when our teams were Cn the loosing side. His outlook for the future is very doubtful. but there is more than one in our class who predicts wed- ding bells and a nice little ne-st for two-or more, for Sammy and another Senior. IENNIE ELIZABETH H ESS CGIGCLERD Giggler'l, as Jennie was generally called by many of her class-mates. never knew a serious moment except when arriving in certain class rooms, VVithiu about a year of the time of graduation she found a loving and sincere friend to whom she still remains true. She has also be- come very fond of a certain game. Her only fu- ture desire is to do good for in-an and she has fully decided to enter the Iield of domestic science. rather practically than theoretieallv. But we pity her life companion if she persists in chewing him as much as she chews gum. As a zrigpler. Jennie has acquired the reputationof being' the greatest and most irresponsible one yet discovered. -4, 7..

Bill was quite some guy all right. He loved to sing Over the Hills to Laurysu, which, when rendered with his melodi- ous voice, sounded like a waitress with a dish pan. Bill had a fad of waiting for a waitress who waited for him when he didn't have to wait f-or her, his usual Waiting place being the waiting' room at the Laurys Hotel, where she was a wait-' ress. But Billy is waiting yet, i. e. he is waiting' for a-job now. He expects to be a pen pusher an'l ink splaslier all his life and is trying to be- come secretary for some big hrm such as John XAI2ll'l7ll'I1IlkCI' 81 Co., or the Cement News Publish- inff Co. Best wishes for sum ess Bill. fx .43- ZX G , . .E , Yi . ' - W ,F Elf B. s x B vs QW rs HAROLD CHARLES XVTLLIAM SHOEMAKER fNlARY3 Harold Charles VVilliam Shoemaker that 's he, Mary we mean. Well, Harold was O. K. but l1is ways were not very masculine-like. Throw a ball, you say? He coulcln't do that to save his neck, but he could patch base ball pants if they happened to he torn. It was because of such facts that Harold was given the name of Mary. He was also a member of the Late Coming Club , not only in matters pertaining to the school, but in almost everything. Harold has not yet taken time to think about the future, but we advise him to become a tail-or, for he is well adapted for that cccupation. PEARL HERB LESH ER NVe do not know of any jeweler in the class, hut we 'have two precious stones in fur number. both Pearls, and one was Pearl Herb Lesher. Pearl was a go-od little girl. she clicl her werlc real well and wore a smile mast of the time. which had a peculiar fascination for under-class- men. Pearl expects to heerme a school marm and we believe she will make gofd. Siick to lt. Pearl. -.59- EVELYN CAMILA LEIBENGUTH. Here you are! a big noise in our class. Al- ways wearing a smiling and pleasant face. Eve was a good sport, if some guy would let him' self be sponged on. One of Eve's hobbies was auto riding. We hope she gets a 200 horsepower machine some day and goes on the race track, but we believe she would rather have a Jitney. Eve was a good piano player, at least we musical critics think so. Eve expects to go to the Mora- vian Seminary. her specialty being music. V RAYMOND AMANDAS SOLT Salt tastes good, doesn't it? Yes, Solty is the boy who has the sweets . No wonder he was a favorite among the girls, he always had the goodies so the girls were always friendly to himi. But Solty was wise and only bought the cheap stuff. Solty's ambition is to become an electrical engineer. Hope that Ray doesn't geta shock! NVell Ray CSolty, if you pleasej we hope some day you will become the chief electrical en-'fineer of the Westiiiiglioiise Plant. -50- PEARL IRENE SOLT Hello Fatty! NVe do not exactly know all Pearl's characteristics, but we have been partly led to believe that she is a little seltish, for after viewing the class We lind that she has monopol- izecl a good deal of avordupois. Pearl was one of the gems of the class and if she had been worth her weight in gold she would have been quite rich. She had a peculiarity which was, that she always loved to get cross Over everything and when in such a state, no one was safe with- i.n the three mile liinit. ln this respect she close- ly resembled Maria of the North American . RUTH ESTI-l ER YOUNG Among the youngsters of the class of ,IS there appeared Miss Ruth, who is commonly known as the old maid of the class. She was constantly tal-:ing advice from all sources. but especially from the science teacher, Mr. I. L. Schaeffer, who persisted in warning her against unneces- sary extravagance. Ruth was so quiet that her presence in the class was not noticed. until the fourth year, when she began to wake up and notice what was going on in the class. Ruth expects to be a school marm, and we know she will succeed, hccausc her prospects are bright. -51- ANNA MARGARICTTE LAUBACH CANNAQ From way down yonder near the brewery comes our friend Miss Laubach, i. e. in most cases she comes late or not at all, for either one of these were Anna's great fads. But at times a coal train was the cause of this delinquency. However, with all her lateness at school, Anna was never too late for a swim. She had gained the reputation of being quite a swimmer and has captured second prize in the Carnival at Allen- town in 1914. Anna is also closely acquainted with the raising of pumpkin-s, having taken a half day vacation to visit the pumpkin Fields of I-eVan's Meadow. Here she obtained her lirst experience in the gathering of these golden gems of the autumn Helds. From this time on Anna was known as one of the Pumpkin Sisters . She intends to take up music, but if things keep on as they have been of late, we sincerely believe her music will have a great deal of the sound of bells and the noise of the dish pan and broom in xt. MARGARET ILVELYN KANYUCK C M ARGY- SLEEPYD lf you happen across a person asleep -or half asleep, make up your mind it is Sleepy Kauyuck. Margy, tS1eepy's other nicknamej was also a member of the Late Co1ner's Club in all cases except when some social function was to be per- formed. On such occasions Margy could stay out all night and stay out of school all next day. But she was quite a worker: at times she washed dishes at home, tended the store on Saturday and paraded the streets Sundays. She always was of a pleasant disposition and had a kind na- ture. Naturally a girl of soch Traits would turn her attention to nur-si-ng. It was generally the case that certain members of the class wished they -could get sick.

EDITH NIEMAN From the center of Howery Newport came an exceedingly dignified female, Teddy , Miss Nie- man was one of the most independent members of the class, which characteristic brought her in- to peculiar ecntact with the faculty at certain 'imes. She had a wonderful taste for the art of painting in all its branches, from portrait to face, and to develop this taste, she selected her good friend and class-mate. Dan, as her instructor. Miss Nieman was short in stature and rather strenuous and vigorous in her action. from which fact she was given the name Teddy , -5 G..

JACOB JACQUE KASLOVSKY Look whatls here, the only one alive, Jacob Jacque Koslovsky. jake had ideas of hi.s own and it took a German torpedo to change his ideas when he once had set his mind on them. He was also quite an orator, having won second prize in the Oratorical Contest and helped to win the lnter-Class Debate. If you wish to see Jake in his finest form, you would have to lind him in the capacity 'of cheer leader. When acting as such, at basket ball games, he did the team a great deal of good, for he drew the attention of the spectators and they forgot to see the faults in many of the plays. Jake intends to be ahorse doctor and is already practicing on his own horse. by usinq a bicycle pumip to wash out the horse's stomach when he refuses to eat. I FRED KLIYE This exceptionally handsome young man bai.ls from the little burg of l-lowertown, situated to the east of town. Fred, or Fritz, as he was bet- ter known, was blown into town on one -of these stormy breezes that often bring such fierce weather. Fritz was a slow going fellow, not car- ing whether he got there to-day or to-morrow, and allho he did not belong to the Late Coming Club, yet he was generally that sort of a stu- dent. VVhen Fritz lirst arrived at high school he was a ba-shful little chap and would hardly look at a girl sideways, but to-day he is one of the worst ilirts in the class CTed Hess exceptedj. lt is hard to say just what Fred is striving to be. likely he will become a typical dude walking along the street with a cane on his arm, and a cigarette in his mouth. Good luck to you, Fritz. H ELEN BEHRI 5-TG ZIR This mild, lonely, sleepy looking little girl is Miss Helen Behringer. Helen is another quiet person, who has made little history, but at times she broke her silence with hts of giggling, and then she often rivaled Jennie Hess, which was quite a task. Helen was also a member of the Late Coming Club and we believe held up to its principle of coming late more than any other member. Not only at school was Helen late, but in everything. Things came and went in the same way. but Helen goes on forever at the same Old rate. After graduation Helen intends In become a child nurse, but if she continues to hold her habit of comming. late, a child will be liable to die of rlfl age before she gets to it, MTR GIIORGII ELLSW ORTI-I Sl--IAFER CSHAI-'ERD It happened one bright morning in March that Elmer dropped to this earth.
