ESTHER FOGELMAN XAUSE Music hath charms. To Esther has been given the gift of song. She is our best contralto. The rich quality of her tones have made her precious in our Girls’ Glee Club and Senior Sextettes. Esther may be classed with the “happy-go-lucky” kind, is usually in for fun and her hearty laugh is heard frequently. She comes from the upper end of town but there must be some attraction in the Third Ward, since Esther is seen frequently in or near that locality. Although she has taken the Commercial Course we hope she will develop her vocal talent and base her future upon it. Good luck to you Esther. CECEI.IA AGATHA DURNIX To be quiet and good is to be happy. Cecelia is one of the four Coplay girls who joined our number this last term to take a postgraduate course after graduating from Coplay High School. She is very quiet, somewhat shy. usually alone and studies a great deal. Cecelia looks rather cross at times but still looks are deceiving”, and she is a good little class mate iust the same. She expects to become a nurse, and altho she looks frail and slendor, we hope she will succeed. —29—

RUTH VIOLA SCHLAFFER Are there any more at home like youf Tootsie was a quiet little girl when she first arrived at X. H. S. with the Coplay “bunch”, but after she got acquainted, her timidness wore off and she would talk and giggle until we were compelled to ask her to stop. Ruth took a great fancy to the Juniors, it seems and one of her favorite expressions while in their company was “Oh J. A. B.!” She expects to go to Kutztown and we hope she can teach the Golden Rule to the Kid dies better than she herself ever pretended to understand it. EILEEX LOIS KRAMER Good hlou's the wind that profits everybody.” Thus it was, that a good wind blew Eileen across the Lehigh river to our school. We are glad to have her among our number. Her cheery smile is ever welcome. Her rosy cheeks serve as an attraction for many under class mates, especially Juniors. Eileen is a good student, al ways willing to lend a helping hand. Lately she has become interested in Tennis and is rapidly progressing in the game. When she plays the score is Jx ve” for a long time. We wonder why? But nevertheless, we wish Eileen a happy and successful future. —28—

Senior Class Song-1916 Words by Joe Herman. Music by Ruth Semmel. We are the Seniors of N. H. S. Of the class of nineteen sixteen, Our talents they say would win success, Were't not for the nonsense mixed in. Hut in spite of our reputation Our sentiments are up-to-date And if you doubt our education. Just think what we did in debate. We're very proud of our speakers bold. Who for us our cause defended, So nobly did they our claims uphold That our rights were always granted. And now that the task is completed We have nothing more to fear. And forgetting who was defeated We'll give the defenders a cheer. Chorus Then while our colors proudly glow Over us so, over us so, Gaily a-singing we will go, Merrily oh merrily oh. O Tune—TRAMP. TRAMP, TRAMP. In a room the Juniors sit. Feeling sad and very blue, For they'd rather be a hundred miles away. And the tears they fill their eyes 'Spite of all that they can do, 'Though they try to cheer each other and be gay. On the stage we firmly stood When their boldest charge they made And they could not make us tremble by their roar. But before they reached their seats They were looking back dismayed And we gave the cry of vict’rv o’er and o'er. Chorus Tramp, tramp, tramp, the Seniors march right on, O cheer up Junior here we come And beneath the starry sky We will show you once again How a Senior beats a Junior in debate. -30—
