RUTH HARTZ G AX GW HR Giggle and the world giggles with you. Gangway, here conies Miss Gangwer. Her “cloudy” expression hails from Weatherly and the simultaneous giggle probably from the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) found in the coal mines. Although she seldom has this cloudy expression, nevertheless we would rather see her with it than without, for when she giggles the only way to stop her is to scare her to death or tell her something that will make her cross: the former method has often been used to some avail, yet the latter has proven itself the better remedy. Whenever there is a noise in High School she is in the vicinity—looking innocent. In the lab. she seems very fond of accidentally pouring away prepared solutions and acids to show her house keeping ability in washing glass ware. Her ambition is to join the Grand Army of 1 eachers. Can you imagine her telling her pupils how good she was when she was a dear little school girl: The best of luck be her’s. HAROLD AMOS FREY “Cupid “As long as his name is short. Well! Well! Here we are. the matchmaker of the class. Harold tried to play basket-ball, but did not succeed very well because his feet were always getting in his way. We thought that it Harold kept on going to school for about live years, thev would at last turn out a sport, but we all had something of a shock when we went for a sleighing party. Cupid” is quite a good Commercial student and some day we hope to see him sitting at a schoolmaster’s desk. (Only watch your feet. Harold.)

LILLIAN' RUTH REIL “It's the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear. That's making the sunshine everywhere. Lillian was what you might term a jollier”, always talking and laughing until the blues had to take wings. Site could sing very well and we hope she will make good with her voice. She intends to teach a kindergarten. We pity her pupils however, because she always had a Will of her own. ARTHUR JAMES HAHN “Bashfulness never makes a Man. Well, then Arthur will never make a man. Arthur belongs to the group of bicycle riders and was often seen with his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, fixing some break down or flat tire, but he always fixed it some way or the other. Arthur does not seem to like shorthand very much, and we are sure that he will follow in his father’s foot-steps. At that rate Arthur will be eating Doggies all his life. Arthur wants to be a machinist for a little while before be enters the slaughtering business and we feel certain before he has completed his carreer he will have invented some sort of device for automatic butchering. Behold, Northampton’s future butcher. —24—

LEOTA GRACE NEW HARD “Patrons and fellow classmates. am to disclose wonders.” One of the wonders of our school is Leotn. She was brought up in Northampton and this probably accounts for her good health and spirits. She belonged to our Basket-ball Team, which is in itself a praise of her merit, and although she did not score any goals in this game, she was successful in scoring in some other games. The Orchestra also has always valued her services as one of the pianoists. Leota is inclined to take things as they come and has a cheerful outlook on life and therefore will succeed. RUSSELL WOLFE KERN “There is a gift beyond the reach of art,—• of being eloquently silent Russell belongs to the Country Club”, that is, this lad hails from Kreidersville. He is noted among us for several things. First as a musician, he surely can make a piano give forth harmonious melodies. Probably this fact is the cause for his superiority over all his classmates (and former W H. S. graduates) in typewriting, which is his second noted specialty. He has attained the speed record of 74 words a minute. But with these characteristics, Russell has been somewhat shy and rather quiet. However his shyness seems to be disintegrating towards the end of the course. Russell thinks his destiny is to be a stenographer. Ottr best wishes for success. -•26-
