L UCY KA TITRYZV FOGEL G'cne1'al Course General Course It would be difficult to find a better natured girl in the whole elais than L. Kathryn for she is Joviality personified. She entered school here after She had graduated from Coplay High School, and during her short sojourn here, was liked by everyone. She helped in upholding the standard of the girls' basketball team by her position as guardg with her ability in tennis, she was more than a match for some of the local- stars. At our oratorical contest she pressed some of the vietors hard for their laurels. She does not know definitely what she will follow when She graduates, but in whatever she does, sho has our hearty geod wishes. l ml U Sz: .-5 X fcfgrri ,SEER wif 1 'le . N .JL-..

FRED AMOS MERTZ V Fred is one of the Goplay trio who entered N. H. S. to further their education with us. Freddy might not be called very active, for he is rather given up to sighing and, Oh, well-. Perhaps the reason for this attitude of listlessness is -because he blows all his energy away at orchestra and band practice. However this does not apply to his studies, for as Ll seholar Fred works well. He never took much interest in athletics, probably due to his state of inertia. He is naturally of a quiet disposi- tion, and the time when he makes the most noise is when he blows his eornet. He expects to -become a drafteman, and has our hearty good will for sur-cess. to make good AMP'rENNIAN, '20 Th Ll fy one See this brilliant Commercial?

CLASS PROPI-IECY FT times when two people suddenly meet in the crowd without any knowledge whatsoever of each other's whereabouts, it seems that the Fates have drawn them together for a definite purpose. It must have been so several days ago when I met Mrs. Dash, owe Miss Kennedy, in the heart of New York in a curio shop. I had just returned, after an absence of twenty-three years, from the tropics of South America where the company which employs me, had sent me to su-pervise some work. 'During my stay I naturally had accumulated some money, made investments, and now I had come back to the States to live i11 retirement. ' I do not think Verna would ever have recognized me, but I knew her almost instantly, -and was made certain of my discovery by her laugh. The course of years had left their stamp upon her, but she bore it lightly. Her matron-like figure was clad in garments well chosen, for by her manners, she evidently was a person of some means. I lingered unnecessarily long about the shop till she had completed her purchasing, when I introduced myself. Surprise, ahnost disbelief sh-one in her eyes, for, as she afterward told me, she most certainly did not remember me. I never knew how it happened, but before I knew it she had whisked me out to her automobile, invited me to beseat myself, and then we drove swiftly to her .ho1ne. Here I managed to regain my composure after we had eaten lll1lCl10011 and were sitting before a hearth in the spacious living room. Each of us gave our autobiographies, and I found out that she had been a widow for the past five years. Naturally, as old acquaintances do, we talked of school days, and numerous other topics of interest. Be- fore I left, we decided to revisit our old home town, in the course of a few days. I left Mrs. Dash's charming company, and during the following days occupied myself in preparing for thc trip. Vifhile my companion and I were awaiting the express at the depot, I suddenly remembered that I had not informed my bankers of my whereabouts and, as we would be gone for some time, they should naturally be informed as to my destination in order to forward 1ny drafts. Accordingly I scribbled a message to this e'ect upon some AMPTENNIAN, '20 Tllirty-tlwfw
