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

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

WALDEMARTHEODORE FEDKO “CONFEDY” If silence were golden. His pockets would be filled. Did you say bashful? Well, yes, Waldemar is somewhat bashful. He hails from sunny Newport, where he keeps a store, and usually carries a supply of chewing gum for the girls. In our first year in N. H. S. Waldemar was aery bashful, and hardly talked to the girls, hut now well he takes a good deal of interest in the girls, and we know he has lost some of his bashful ways, for occasionally we see him In the Third Ward. When you see Waldemar walking you think he is falling asleep, but did you ever see him play basket ball? He was the center for the boys' regular team and did good work. He is also the leading cornetist in our H. S. orchestra, and the star cartoonist for La Perle, whose name he suggested. We all expect Waldemar to be our first honor student for he surely deserves it. Some day we might meet Professor Waldemar. for he is going to some college to continue his studies. We hope you shall succeed, whatever course you take. Success Is sure to come to the sincere and studious. LAWTON WILBUR FYE “DIMPLES” The old saying, that all good things come in small packages, is an exception in this case; for who could deny that. Lawton is the best comedian in N. H. S. and he has had not little experience in the musical world. Along this line he is talented as a drummer, pianist and he is also one of the best bass singers in school. As an orator he has shown his ability in the Oratorical Contest, for he won the second prize. One of the characteristic traits of “Dimples” is his ever ready smile which has now many a friend for him, especially among the girlies of N. H. S. Last but not least, we dare not forget to mention his great ability as a typist. He has received a certificate for typing sixty-one words per minute. Some record, eh! His future ambition is to be a typist for some large firm and the best wishes of his classmates go with him. 19
