Our Soldier-Principal MR. S. CLYDE FRANKENFIELD, principal of our high school, was born in Coopersburg, Dec. 2, 1887. He spent his boyhood days at Passer, I Jerks County, Pa., attending the public schools at that place. After completing his public school education, he sought higher institutions of learning. At the age of nineteen he attended the Kutztown State Xormal School, where he graduated in 1908. The following year he came to our town as a teacher in the Northampton High School. He has taught in our town for ten years and he made many friends. He was appointed principal in 1913 (due to the absence of Principal Shinier). He has acted principal ever since. In the spring of 1917. great gloom was spread over the school when it was learned that Mr. Frankenfield would be included in the draft. In the fall of 1917 he was examined for military service and he was passed, ready to lie called for training at any time. A greater gloom was spread over the school in the spring Vif this year, when Mr. Frankenfield received his notice to report at Camp Lee. Virginia. On April 27th. he was found ready to enter the service of the United States. He is now stationed at Camp Lee preparing to fight the Hun (and assisting our high school as well ). The school wishes him the world of luck and a safe icturn. «
