keep the class entliug-xiastic and active. 'Clin our first two years we must have either been too green or too bashful, for hikes, rides and parties were few. During these last two years, however, they occured more frequently. Some we know preferred the moonlight hikes but they attended a. party and had a good time whenever there was an opportunity. The class was inter- ested also in working up plays and were successful in giving' t'S.lats and lNhen the Boys Came Home at Literary Society meetings, New Ha1npsl'1i1'e Gold was given on February the 6th, which proved to be the most successful affair the class ever held. The hostess then reminded the class that it was half past ten and, therefore, time for rel'reslnnents. Irene, Flora and Beatrice offered to help serve. As soon as Lloyd got a glimpse of the appetizing delicacies, he uttered his usual excla- mation, This is going to be real. As always, the refreshznents proved to be the niost enjoyahle part oif the occasion. All seemed to want to speak at once, and usually started With, lilo you rezneinber how--.H israel, John, 'Wilhur and Elwood suddenly began, laughing heart- ily and looking in the direction of their eyes we saw our Freialnnau picture which the hostess had put up especially for this occasion. Israel said, 'tl wonder if everyone had doubled his knowledge as he has his height in these years. How ahout it, Rode? After the eats,', the class enjoyed once more the readings that Katie and Mazie had given at the Contest. Then Beatrice played our various Class Songs and all sang so inueh the more heartily be- cause it was probably the last time. VVith so fitting a close to their High School days the class separated after many exprevsions of appreciation for the pleasure of the evening' and then passed ont into the world. I. S. S.

Soon we will see some of them in Congress and we know they will be right. on the spot, when there is any arguing to be done. David, what will you give us, an oration? When Uncle Sam joined forces with the allies in April, 1917, the whole spirit and attention of the class was drawn into the great struggle for democracy. Although the majority were not of military age, two answered the call, Bert Luckenbach, and Jesse Kline, the former with the aviation branch and the latter with the S. A. T. C. Those who were able bought Liberty bonds to crush the Hun and back the 'boys at the front. When the Red Cross made its plea for humanity's sake, the class entered cheerfully, and secured a member ship for three years. When the ':Big 7 asked aid to help cheer and provide for the boys over there, the class again stood by them and contributed willingly. A considerable amount of 'tWar Saving Stamps were purchased by the class. In this manner the Class of '19 helped to make the world a better place to live in. Although we -could secure no medals at Chateau '1'hierry, most of us secured some medals showing our interest in the war work. . The basket 'ball stunt was to follow. Leonard and Mazie placed themselves opposite each other and initiated the various movements ol' the game. After a. moment Leonard said to Mazie: I don 't believe you girls did very much in basketball this year. H017 course we did. We formed one-sixth of the team. ls that the editorial 'we' H? Well, even if we did just have one girl in basket ball, the girls' team won all but two games this season and thatis more than the boys can sayf' . A 4'Yes, but if the boy's didn 't win many games they had more Senior players, and then too, we won the Field Day Cup in 191S. 'tAnd you didn 't even win that alone, we gave you nine points. Anyway, what 's the 'dif' we got as many 'eats' as the girls did at the basket ball celebration banquet. Katie was introduced a.s the HSocial Butterflyll who would tell of the various ways in which the class spirit and social life helped to 118-.

LEONARD DAVID KEICHEL Bull, Short, fwfr, with graceful limbs is hc, Apollo fGllJl II'l'0d, Bull, we all lille thee. Hold thy reading glass closer, dear reader, and you will note that this fair visaged mortal is none other than our far famed hero Bull. His soap-box oratory puts all others to shame. He has cap- tured the first prize at oratorical contest, is captain of the basket ball team, class president, in gen- eral, all that is open for oiiice he has or had possessed, during his career here. His greatest accom- plishment in his time here is slin- ping thru class on looks, by Bull, hence his nic-k name. I-Ie intends to become a lawyer of note, and housing his office on 6th Avenue, New York. We fear very much, that like all other great men. he will fall to the charms of the woman's wiles. He is a patron of art, the terpsichor- ean variety, as he contributes 28c. weekly to trip a light fantastic toe. He is an advocate of the Young Men's Barber Shop Union and spent many of his precious S. BRUCE CHASE, JR. . College Preparatory Brutus, a by-product of Pen Argyl, entered the class ,of 1919 at the beginning of the Senior year, seemingly a modest and studious young man. But the gods, after a few days' residence in N. H. S., saw fit to remove his false coat and Crab shone forth in the pleasing garb of a regular fel- low. As the weeks leap-frogged their predecessors, Bruce formed a nat- ural affinity to the class of '22. His various successes and failures have been faithfully preserved in his diary. The Troubadour Four Jazz Quar- tet owes a larger part of its fame to this poor soul. His favorite songs, Roll Dem Bones and Oh Hel-en, have received much fav- orable comment. Bruce intends to continue his education at one of the higher in- stitutions, after taking a course in the 'tPsycholo,fry of Experience in Cuba. May thou too. a Brutus, have success like unto Caesar. evening hours improving this bene- ficial organization. K F' if as df 7
