HILLARD ALVIN MILLER College Preparatory June 13, 1923. Dear Bruce: You're rightg I was born in Al- lentown in the month of December, not September, 1902. Yet, it scarcely seems possible ,that we had our Commencement Exercises four years ago tonight. Thoughts of school were in my mind the en- tire day. How I studied in those days-Jive minutes at a subject: and argued-over nothing. I had one fault. I see it all too plain now-I coudn't throw bull. When there were two solutions to a ques- tion, I would guess the Wrong one every time. Perhaps you remem- ber me as the leading' cornetist in the old school orchestra. When- ever I began to play the other members of the orchestra would stop to listen. Gr do you remem- ber me as a basket-ball player on the class tearn? Did you iforeget our little joke about a trip to Near-Beersvillei' on July lst? The little Ford gave me plenty of preparatory traininrr for the engineering course, which I completed in a few weeks.

1 RENIA DOROTHY SHELLHAMER General Slmiw little but slze's wise, She 's cl. terror for he-r size. This petite one was a very shy girl until the latter part of he Junior year. At this time she started to tease and pest the bo'-'K so 'much that we had to nickname her Pest However, she prefer her own pet name, Tutz. You hear her speak of Our bunch oc- casionally and very often of a red rose even in winter time. She was very studious through- out her High School course and ranks high among her classmates. She was secretary of the class for two years, a member of the Or- chestra last year, and an Oratori- cal Contest Speaker. She intends to continue her stu- dies and become a school teacher but she also has an ambition to become a nurse. Renia, you may be sure that 1919,' looks forth to your success in whatever work you may choose to do. w,-. P i lf . l ff l. L sf 'I iii ' 'gr HARRY AMMON MITMAN College Preparatory Harry Ammon Mitman, victim of many pranks, possessor of the nicknames Mity, Beulah and Tarzan, third baseman on the baseball team, forward on the basketball team, and, good track- man,-but alas, a poor jokesmith. What's that noise? That is Mity trying to tell us how many test tubes were swiped from him in the laboratory or relating his experiences after going on a fish- ing trip for an A . As you all know, his greatest delight is to cause trouble. Harry gets his lessons by read- ing the headlines and then 1'ecit- ing what he thinks it ought to be. A first-class fusser and some day, we hope, a first-class engineer. -W--11 1 1 ll

MAZIE ELLEN BERG Commercial She is always heard And alwctys feared. Mazie Pinky Moses Fritz Ellen Knies Berg's history started in the days of September, 1916, when she entered High School so bo.dly. She has accomplished more than space and time wou.d permit to relate. She is naturally bright fwhat more need be saidj. Thus, she has had enough time on her hands to Search for some one to entertain her dur- ing her spare moments. During her second and third years of high school she was attracted to any- thing Pink, During her fourth year a mania for visiting the Slums, to help the poor it is sup- posed, developed within her. But she does not like to 'speak of her good deeds. If she dreams of her toothless child it is her affair. Pinky ranks high in the standing of her class. She was a winner of the first prize in the oratorical con- test, one of the speakers of the in- ter-class debate, one of the varsity of the girls' basket ball team and secretary to Superintendent Landis. She intends to become an expert stenographer. We wish her suc- cess. J Q4 'ii i I i ' v.?s.i.i.Pl:1' ll 1' ' f:-f'- miiifs i V i E ..

He did his bit in all activities through- out the four years. He was an ex- cellent orator and captured second prize in the oratorical contest. Rody was exceedingly bashful when a Freshman. He blushed ev- ery time a girl spoke to him, but as months passed by he became one of the gang when it came to class parties or a little fun and now he never misses them. Strange to say, he is greatly in- terested in the public schools of Northampton: especially in a cer- tain room in the Wolf Building. Rody expects to go to the Naval Academy and become an of- ficer. Good luck, fellow class mate! We extend our best wishes for your success. ' new '
