WILLIAM KUNTZ HARTZELL B-zzz Academic Four years ago the portals of Northampton High School werempened and this young fellow was ad- mitted into the Class of '24. 'tBill was a bit bash- ful, but he has been cured of that. He took an ac- tive part in Athletics, having been a member of the Class Basketball :team for four years and has held down the initial sack on the diamond. He was class president this year, treasurer of the Black and Orange, and was a Contest Speaker. He took the leading role in, Springtime and is a member of the Amptennian Staff. William has an attractive per- sonality and formed many friendships while in high school. He intends taking up medicine. We wish him success. JESSE JOHN HERRSTEB Chess-ic General Would you believe that this insignificant, digni- fied piece of humanity belonged to our class? -ell, if you believe it, you're right, and let no one tell you otherwise, Jess came to us four long years ago, a bright scholar and destined to become one ofithe first in the class, but, his eyes were rolled in the direction of the feminine sex and he fell - but he didu't hurt himself. Chessie is a faithful member of the U-Needa-Biscuit Crew and at the present time resides in the peaceful community of Orrnrod. Altho holding no class offices, nor partaking in any athletics, Jesse has always been a faithful worker for the class. We found that Jesse frequents town quite often and we wonder why? We do not know what Jesse intends taking up after his High School career is ended but we wish him great success. , 1 AMPTENNIAN, '24 ADELE LAURA HEYMAN General Course Hold your hats! here we have the talker of our class. Adele talks and then talks some more, but her talking has not always been in vain, for she talked the judges into giving her first prize in the Oratorical Contest and in giving her side the deci- sion in the Inter-Class Debate, She had important parts in Cherry Blossom, Springtime and demon- strated 'her ability as an elocutionist at the Spring Concerts. Adele shows good class spirit and is a faithful friend. She was an active member of the class B. B. team, a member of Campfire, and Jest Editor for the Black and Orange.

MARIAN D. KLINE Academic Course Everyone knows Marian as the girl with the black curls and brown eyes. As an active partici- pant in all school aifairs, she held her place on the Girls' Varsity basketball team, as secretary of the class in her Junior year, and enthusiastic Camp Fire Girl, but of all these qualifications speaking seems to be her forte, for besides giving numerous readings throughout her high school life, she won second prize at the Senior Oratorioal Contest. She expects to continue her diligent studying at the Keystone State Normal School next year, and we know she will make as many friends there with her pleasant smile as she made in her school life in Northamp- ton. .AMP'l'ENNI:XN, ,24 DOROTHY M. KERN -ffm Academic Course Dorothy is the class of 24's only representative from Kreidersville. She travelled to N. H. S. every day in her Henrietta and is quite an accomplished chauffeur by thisf time. This, however, isn't Dot's only accomplishment, as she plays the piano exceed- ingly well, having played in the N. H. S. orchestra for three years. She was accompanist at several spring concerts, the Cantata, Pan, several oper- ettas and did a. great deal of solo work. Dot is music editor of this book and also one of the Woanwi Camp Fire Girls. She is a good sport, full of fun and well-liked by everyone. She will con- tinue her studies in music at the Damresch School in New York next winter. Her whole heart and soul being in that work, we know that success will surely crown her efforts. RUTH MAY KOCH Knr:lL'ir: Commercial This shy young Miss came to us four long years ago, but somehow the surroundings did not change her demureness, for she is still very quiet. She en- tered N. H. S. in the fall of 1920. The balmy breezes must have blown her to this school, after having moved from Kreidersville. She naturally takes things as they come and does not worry about the results. Although she does not take part in any class affair, she is always willing to offer her assist- ance, especially in typewriting. She can also handle the typewriter rather skillfully, having won one of the medals. Her chief hobbies are dancing, walk- ing, and attending the Allentown shows C?J. Ruth expects to become a private stenographer for a large business firm. T'IU6'l!l'j' TlI7'CC'
