HILDA IRENE BACHMAN “HITV “Hib is one of our prominent girls, as the Social Editor of La Perle, as a leading soprano, as a member of the Senior Girls’ Sextette, and the Senior Mixed Octette. She does well in her studies and r;nks as having one of the highest averages in the class. Her interest in the Juniors, especially the President of the Class and the President of the Athletic Association threatened to make her shirk her studies, but fortunately she maintained her standard. MAUDE JULIA COLEMAN “SMILES” One chief thing is portrayed in the features of Maude. That one thing is her smile. It has captured more than one fellow’s tender heart. As jest manager of La Perle and year book, of course, no better name could be found. She took part in the sextettes and octettes of the Senior Class and also was a member of the Glee Club. She was the comedian of our class before a young man from Allentown deprived her of her position (?). Maude always did fine work in the line of mathematics. She said. “Mr. Palm never had anything against her except the logs in her trig(onome)tree.” Moreover as a class we wish her success and happiness. 17

MAYSIE IRENE HAWK “MITZIE” “Better late than never” Here behold her, as she Is. This is Maysie Irene Hawk, one of the popular members of our class. She is our class secretary and an active member on the basket ball team. She also was one of our Oratorical Contest speakers and captured the girls’ first prize. Whenever we saw Maysie approaching High School at full speed, we knew it was time for school to commence. If she came early, she was chattering all the time, worse than gos-sipers. She was always one of the last ones to be in the room when we have class meetings. “But we all know the reason why.” Maysie expects to be a school marm, and we look forward for her success. ELSIE 3EULAH NEWHARD “LADY” “Smile and we will smile with you.” Elsie is one of the talented girls of our class. She is one of the best sopranos in the High School. The rich quality of her tones have made her precious in our Girls’ Glee Club. She also has some ability in speaking, being one of our Inter-Class Debaters last year and this year a speaker in the Oratorical Contest. She has proven herself a skillful player in the Girls' Basket Ball Team for four years. Elsie is quite an attractive girl. Her bright smile and red (heeks are always welcome. Miss Elsie, as she is well qualified as a singer, hopes that some day she will be placed on ihe Lyceum (?) Course of the Redpath Bureau and again come back to the High School Auditorium and see her class mates in the audience. We wish you success. Elsie. 16

MAZIE IRENE DILLIARD “DICK” Here's a poet and we didn’t know it. Give her a pen and she'll try again. Mazie or “Dick.” as she is also known, entered the Northampton High School as a Freshman, four years ago. Dick is also known as one of our smart girls of the 1918 class. She seldom raises a fuss, but is always easy going and quiet. She has been an active member in the Literary Society and showed her abilities as a speaker. Dick” with her splendid line of poetry, has given fine contributions to the monthly book “La Perle.” She hopes that in the near future her name may be placed in the American Literature text-book as one of the noted present day poets. Her long fingers, piercing eyes and oval face may be a few indications for her ability as a poet. In behalf of the Senior class of 1918 and her friends, we wish her a world o success as a poet. HERBERT EDWIN EISENHART “SOCRATES” In our Sophomore Year in High School, Eddie joined our popular class. He is one of our out of town students, who hails from Cementon. Eddie’s “hang-out” is at the doctor’s place We had an idea that he would take up the study of medicine, but he is going to take up the Bachelor of Arts Course at one of our local universities. He is a member of the Senior Octette, and also of the Boys’ Glee Club. You look at Socrates, the great Greek writer, and then look at this fellow! You’ll swear that this is Socrates No. 2, hence his name. Socrates is a very studious fellow. Why he is that studious at times, that he is never satisfied with bis studying till he hears the neighbor’s rooster bugle for breakfast. Well we hope that he will have the best of success and become a successful professor (which is his aim) at one of our universities. 18
