MIRIAM ELIZABETH KLEPPINGER “MIM” A student, good and steadfast friend Was our Mini right to the end. Here you see “Mira Kleppinger. who in her sweet timidity was dear to one and all. Ready to help, no matter how rushed, ready to sym-pathi?e with anyone no matter what the misfortune might be, and always ready to have a good time, this is our “Mim . However, to tease her is to get into great trouble, for Mim does not like her blushes to be seen. Her favorite password is I hope not . Ask her its origin and I'm sure you will be amused with her answer. This summer will probably find Mim a successful stenographer. FORREST WEINMAN HUNT “HUNTIE “Push is written on every door that leads to success He is very industrious and is seldom found idle. The girls do not attract him. although he can hardly escape from conversing with them. He delights in spending his hours at typewriting and bookkeeping, in which he has proved a success. He possesses very little ability in athletics. He was a faithful member of our Literary Society and was sometimes called the “Tenor Soloist of the class of 1917. Although we do not know his future desire, his classmates wish him success and hope to see him some day as a member of HLTXT SONS’ DEPARTMENT STORE. —24—

STELLA LUCINDA RODENBACH (PERPETUAL MOTION) “I live to talk all day Ion?. As it might help me along.” Stella Lucinda absolutely refuses to believe that there is any truth in the motto “Silenca is golden”. The only time she is partly quiet is when she is working Trig, problems (which by the way is her favorite study) an I even then she talks when she counts on her fingers to get a problem which won’t come out, although the answers in the back of the book help a lot. Stella uses the expression ‘‘Nothing stirring” ' uite often, which sounds out of place, because there really is always something stirring when she’s around. Not that she talks, or does anv-thing, Oh No!!! Stella’s future desire is to start an office all by herself to give advice to the love lorn until ---? RALPH ERASMUS BARTHOLOMEW “BUFF” “A good cigar is a smoke. But a woman is only a joke.” Look! Look! What we have captured! He is not very good in his studies, but he is some rreat orator. Why honestly, he won second prize in the Oratorical Contest. Hip! Hip! Hooray! He was also the gallant cheer leader of the N. H. S. and gained the good side of some of the prominent lassies of the school. He frequently goes to Laury’s, — to Harry Young. (???) He was always the most prominent fellow at the class parties. He expects to become the janitor at the Allentown College for Women. —23—

MARIE R. ERSCHEN (REI) HEAD) She’s sweet of disposition. She’s loving, wise and kind. She’s full of true affection. She cannot be defined. This blue-eyed lass hails from Cemen on. and is a member of the Great F. X.’s. Marie has greatly enjoyed her work at the N. H. S. and we are proud to own her as classmate. She was one of the Oratorical Contest speakers and a devoted member of the Literary Society. Marie is a jolly blonde and is found. “Giggling when she comes and when she goes. But what she is giggling for nobody knows.” Whatever her choice may be. we are sure that she will prove a success in her career. We wish that Bright may her future be; And every dawning day Bring joy and peace alway. LEWIS EDWARD MEIXLER “LIEBER LOUIE” “Present in body, but absent in spirit” Louie constitutes an important, tho often troublesome, acquisition to the N. H. S. side show. The young man’s desire seemed to have been mainly to get into trouble. Louie played the Cello in his Junior Year, but decided that he made too much noise, so he left the orchestra. He was also interested very much in the Literary Society meetings, never being absent at such a meeting. Louie belonged to the F. N’s, which was a club composed of very bashful and innocent students. Louie’s greatest desire is to become leader of some large Symphony Orchestra some day.
