Into the book we have pul ourselves our likes, dislikes, hopes, joys. aims, and sorrows. We have tried to make it real -With the true flavor of the class of '25. We have done our best and you. reader, as the judge, shall formulate your own opinion, but to us it is almost a living thing—alive with the activities of the days in N. H. S. and we shall ever treasure it. We have worked With the co-operation of all and no one has Worked for special recognition. All that was desired was a book worthy to become the everlasting monument of the class of 25. With this we present the book to you and ask that you do not criticise us too harshly but congratulate us and praise us. It is up to you to decide whether we have accomplished our aim or not. The Staff UUlPUlBMiJlJUH Northampton High School mipJEIEEPlEIEIEJMEIMll THE AMPTENNIAN plpppiigllilUHiilllllllfigllUjg jjlfUUlMfUlMflU the amptennian wmaUBHMmaum 1 f) 2 cl A Message from Your Superintendent EDUCATIONAL opportunities and ideals of the present day differ widely —4 from those commonly held a generation or two ago. We pride ourselves in our higher standards, our rapid progress in making the training in our schools more and more practical. These practical elements of our educational system have met with an increasing approval from the materialistic world. Even in the publication of this year book our boys and girls are striving to put into a very practical form the evidence of their training, and to leave a permanent record of their achievements during four years of high school work. But however magnificent this volume may appear, the real influence of high school training cannot be set down in full on these pages. The real business of education has been and always should remain the process of developing and strengthening the character of the individual citizen. Our public schools were established to safeguard the ideals, ethical standards, and staunch moral purposes which characterized the founders of our republic. To train young people to become intelligent, dependable citizens in a democracy is vitally more important than proclaiming to the world the splendor and magnitude of intellectual attainment which a modern high school gives to its graduates. m 1 9 2 5 To the members of the class of 1925 who have prepared and published this issue of the Amptennian as one of the means whereby they may show evidence of keen minds, better trained, and much better supplied with knowledge, we would express the hope that the training they have received will find further expression in upholding and stimulating only the best in the life and thought of the community. Much will be expected of them as they are entering the broad fields of endeavor outside the school to put their training to the test in the full vigor and strength of their youth. Rich prizes wait for those who do not waver: The world needs men to battle for the truth. It calls each hour for stronger hearts and braver. This is the age for those who still have youth.” S. C. Frankenfield, Superintendent Northampton High School [1 MM THE amptennian The Faculty WE WOULD be narrow-minded and selfish if we would consider this book complete without some recognition of the services of our splendid teachers. Sometimes we may be unappreciative. but our real selves consider them as friends and guides. When the class of 25 entered Northampton High School. Mr. Frankenfield was principal. Thus for one year Mr. Frankenfield was our teacher and came into direct contact with us. After Mr. Landis left and Mr. Frankenfield became superintendent. Mr. Sheaffer became principal. Though a strict disciplinarian. Mr. Sheaffer is liked by all because of his good-natured and jovial attitude to the students. He has supported us faithfully in every project. Mr. Christman, the faculty mathematician, has taught us “math for four years. In spite of all the intricacies of trigonometry and geometry. Mr. Christman made us enjoy our math period. Our English teacher. Miss Stem, has likewise been here the four years we’ve been here. Though much praise must be given to Miss Stem for her excellent teaching, she likewise deserves much praise and appreciation for her extra services as coach for a play or other dramatization. None of the girls of 25 will ever forget Miss Seidel and her original ideas. What fun we had in her classes when we were cooking something delectable or when we were planning a party. Mr. Bilheimer may be classed with Miss Seidel, for he likewise has wielded a large influence on his students by creating a love for manual labor and artistic work. Since 1922. Mr. Smith has been a history and English teacher. We have only had classes under him in our sophomore year, but we know that he still is upholding a standard of clear, short-cut and impressive training. After one has looked at the drawing exhibit one can readily see that Miss Meyers’ efforts have not been in vain judging by the interest and pleasure all her students possess. Because of the death of her father. Miss Kurtz left our high school in the middle of our junior year. Mr. Kutz was selected to fill her place as teacher of the social studies. No better substitute could have been chosen Besides all the valuable material we have gleaned in his classroom, he has aided us in the publication of this annual. When Mr. Kutz holds the finished annual in his hand he will see ‘‘thank you personified in the book. Miss Berg, director of physical education, has been here since we came, but not until we were juniors did she actually begin physical training for the girls. Every one likes Miss Berg and also her classes. We might call Mr. Keat one of those year olds.” for he has been with us but this last year. His efforts are untiring and though the boys did not bring in many athletic victories we feel sure that Mr. Keat did his best. To Miss Bache. the typist of the faculty, much credit is due and here in her department results can be seen in the number of speedy typists who have become such because of her guidance. The same can be said about Mr. Beers, the other commercial teacher. Because he resides not far distant from Northampton, he appreciates the environment of our town. Miss Martin, the language teacher, found it difficult to twist our tongues from the Pennsylvania German to the French and Latin. Her classes always proved interesting. Since our class entered high school we have had four different language teachers and four different music teachers, but none of the preceding ones has surpassed Miss Martin and Miss Cromis. Miss Cromis has taught us how to sing and likewise how to appreciate good music. Her work was difficult, but she entered whole-heartedly into her task and made a success. Rise, class of 25. to the principles upheld by this group of intelligent men and women and you too shall some day be known as leaders and workers.

Our aim is success, our hope is to win! Seniors! Seniors! Rah! Rah! Rah! 1925 Class History ON AN early morning in September. 1921, when Principal Frankcnfield (at that time Mr. Frankenfield was principal of the high school) went to the entrance of N. H. S. he found a bag of cement labeled, “To Northampton High School from the Atlas Portland Cement Company.” Naturally. Mr. Frankenfield was surprised and eagerly opened the bag. Out of the bag popped seventy-seven particles of cement dust who sought a conspicuous spot in Northampton High. Now. at first, every one in N. H. S. tried to abolish this dust and the poor particles felt the stings of the broom and its sweeping strides quite frequently, but they were very tenacious and clung to the spaces they had secured. At once they became busily engaged, smoothing off rough edges, adding sand and limestone (daily information) to themselves in the process of producing a mixture of concrete for the formation of blocks. These operations were continued until the end of two years, when, after having passed through much harassing machinery, there were fifty-four finished blocks. Some of the particles of dust had been unable to resist the delightful breezes of the world outside and had allowed themselves to be borne away from their fellow'-dust. After testing these blocks it was found that there were only forty that were able to endure the many hardships to be undergone in building maneuvers. Out of this number, a massive structure of worthy educational aspirations was to be built. Block by block, block upon block, the building process was slowly accomplished. The blocks were firmly united with N. H. S. mortar, a combination of school spirit, studies, and high school activities. Great w’as the labor of the fourteen contractors but just as great the finished product. Northampton High Si H)lil[S fEJE@lE@EMPIi] THE AMPTENNIAN 1 9 5 Yes, the building, Class of ’25,” has been completed and stands ready to meet the wear and tear of many future years. The blocks are varied those which form the music studio, Elizabeth Newhard, Robert Klotz, Violet Rupp, Ruth Newhard, Thomas Fluck, Renia Guth; those which form the gymnasium, Arthur Young, Ruth Newhard. Eva Dotter. Sara Richards, Dorothy McGill, Henry Rabenold; those which form the little theatre room, Frank Herman. Salome Keefer, Sara Richards, Robert Klotz, Thomas Fluck, Grace Osman, Elizabeth Newhard; the library, John Kline, Marion Ward, Dorothy McGill, Salome Keefer, Margaret Lentz; and all the other rooms of an immense structure. However, no matter how great the variance all the blocks are securely constructed and nicely fitted into one huge edifice. At the entrance there is a record of achievements inscribed thus: Accomplishments of Class of ’25. The Charm School,” Senior Play; Daddy Long-Legs,” Junior Play; Oratorical Contest, well contested; Fund for Washington Trip Raised; members of '25 in Kathleen,” Springtime,” Miss Cherry Blossom,” Pan, and The Gipsy Rover. As one gazes upon the building one notices that it is minus a roof, but one is told that this Amptennian, the annual of '25, will cover and protect the building and be the finishing touch of the building. A magnificent tile roof, resplendent with the former far-famed beauteous tile roofs of the Egyptians of the Nile. As you read this record, then, you can see the building—stately, massive, fortified against all storms and weathering of the great world to which the “Class of ’25” is presented. It represents the labors, joys, troubles of four never-to-be forgotten years and see how alive and fascinating it is. Alas! the seventy-seven particles of cement dust are no more, but in their stead is built one edifice, “Class of ’25,” a monument dedicated to education, the greatest need for an enlightened civilization.

Pa. Academic 11 This quiet-looking young man comes from the well-known and prosperous metropolis. Laurys. He is very popular with the members of the male sex and at times with those of the opposite sex. His one great fault is his bashfulness. If he could overcome this, we surely believe that he would have a cinch with his French and English. Laury s greatest hobby is mathematics, especially algebra? He says that he is going to write a new text, and omit the chapters of Permutation. Combinations, and Probability, for these are too easy. He seems undecided as to what to follow as a career, but at times says he would like to become an engineer. We certainly would like to see him select this profession. Activities: Hi-Y Club.

LeRoy is acquainted in Coplay, for he is an A. P. clerk of the well-known city. Any time you see Riley traveling up or down the streets a little earlier than usual, do not become suspicious, but remember he is doing more than attending to his work. LeRoy is taking the general course and as yet has not finally decided what he will adopt as his life’s work. Riley is just so ambitious, causing us to hope and sincerely believe that he will decide upon something worth while. Here’s luck to you. Riley. Adieu! 1 9 2 5 Eva Marguerite Dotter Northampton. Pa. 0! Eva' General “0 Eva. put that ball into the basket.' A universal cry from all basketball fans, for Eva was a remarkable basketeer. However. Eva is remarkable in more ways than one. Eva’s remarkable meat story, which she submitted to the judges of the National Meat Story Contest, told a story of credit third prize. Eastern division, and fifty dollars in her bank passbook. She is a fine organist and expects to make this her life work. Some day we shall enter the beautiful St. Alban’s Cathedral at Washington and marvel at the sweet, mellow tanes which are produced by the pipe organ. Then we shall become still more astonished when we behold O! Eva seated at the organ. Another accomplishment of which Eva is the proud possessor, is the sale of the first Amptennian.

Her voice is worth a fortune because it is musical, mellow. sweet, and charming. This Galli Curci of the class of ’25 won fame during her stay in high school, and will win more in her stay in the world. She is also a celloist and pianist. Renia successfully acted the part of Kath-lecn. a pretty, charming girl in Kathleen. and MissCur-tis. a fidgety, romantic old maid, in The Charm School. She is best qualified to study Fnglish and was chosen for the literary management of the annual staff. Since she will enter Keystone State Normal School in the fall, we hope that she will not be too hard on her pupils when she enters the classroom at some future date.

In Daddy Long-Legs he was Cyrus Wykoff. a short, very chubby, pompous, dignified trustee of the orphanage; in Kathleen. he was Hans Swindler, a typical German butcher: in The Charm School” he was Homer Johns. guardian of the heroine and divorced husband of Miss Hayes.

This song is voiced in the hearts of many maids, though they do not express it. ‘‘HoatsieY’ greatest idiosyncrasy is his ability as a comic entertainer. You must laugh if you travel with “Charley. for among his impersonations arc the faculty, bootleggers. animals of the zoo. and queer people. Charley’s deep bass voice was an outstanding feature of the Glee Clubs. High School plays, and the cheering. Charles owns a Dodge car and has loaded up many a weary wanderer. When he gets going he makes use of his Dodge to evade careless drivers, and we believe that if he had been in his Dodge at the time of his accident no mishaps would have occurred.

Loamie is the livewire of the class, and we are proud of her. for she has always been a faithful worker for the school. We’ve often wondered how “Solomon would look if she weren’t smiling, but to tell the truth, no one has ever seen her grouchy. She is a fine talker, due to the fact that she has practiced that art a great deal. She even talked the judges into giving her first prize in the Oratorical Contest. You may get the impression that Loamie is always talking but she’s not -she spends a lot of her time in giggling. We are sure she will make a success of whatever she undertakes.

We don't know why Kivert and Grace tried to destroy the chemistry lab and its contents when they prepared oxygen, but their efforts failed, for the only injuries were several scratches on Ida’s wrist and on Grace's arm. Ida was always a valuable addition at a party or a hike, for she naturally and cleverly can create a laugh from every member of the bunch. Her pleasant smile and lovely eyes make one love Ida. although we fear that Ida s eyes may some day prove disastrous, for they are almost too pretty. We predict success in all her future endeavors.

Although he did not play in the High School Orchestra, he showed his ability by playing in the local theatre. Kochy is a good sport and is always willing to lend a helping hand. He is somewhat shy of the fair sex. but we all expect to see him overcome this weakness. What Kochy's intentions are after leaving school, we do not know.

Do you know “Presty.” a member of the commercial class? He is one of the boys who are quiet but exercise their brains quite a bit. A backward sort of boy. not exactly bashful, but not exactly sheikish either. Once in a while he gets into an argument with a girl but always yields to the girl in the end. “Presty’’ does not take much interest in the athletic field, but under proper training for a few weeks, we all believe he would prove to be a good athlete. He has not taken an active part in the activities of the school, but we do not consider him as incapable. We know that trapping is one of his favorite sports in winter, and we hope he will have a successful haul in the trapping seasons. “Presty. we all wish you the best of luck in all your undertakings. “Peggy Treichler.

Fla., being joined by a third, arriving from New York City. Topic for discussion. “Classmates. Hello. Salome. I’m coming in to pay you only a short visit to tell you about my visit to New York City last week. I never met with as many surprises in all my life as 1 did then. Surely. Violet, come in and stay as long as you please. I’m sure you have quite some good news to tell too. Of course, you know. 1 was visiting Marion Ward, who is earning her living in the great metropolis. She happened to have a friend. Carol Williams, in the Bellevue Hospital, whom she visits once a week. 1 accompanied Marion on one of these calls and who should 1 find as private nurse to Miss Williams but 'Dot' Troxell and after chatting with Dot a few minutes 1 learned that Margaret Schreibcr was the head nurse. The following night we enjoyed a ride up Broadway for the sake of seeing the dazzling electrical display of advertisements. After passing several glittering signs I noticed a humorous announcement above the entrance of the theatre proclaiming Thomas Fluck in The Sheik. Being anxious to see Thomas as leading man in so popular a picture we entered the theatre and found Frank Koch using his ability as organist to make the picture more entertaining. Afterwards. going on further. I spied another attractive sign announcing EJizabeth Newhard. the ’Marvel Pianist.' The last surprise for the night was in the form of a shining array of lights naming Robert Klotz and Charles Hoats as first-class comedians and professional entertainers. On the following day Marion informed me that she needed a new gown and would take me along to a fashionable shop to purchase one. Upon arriving at a most attractive modiste shop. I noticed Mademoiselle Richards printed in large gold letters on the display window. Of course. 1 didn't get an opportunity to speak with Mile. Richards since she was engaged in selecting and observing autumn styles in Paris, so Myrtle Koch informed me. Miss Koch was Mile. Richards’ private secretary. After shopping we were rather tired and hungry which led us to enter a Parisian style restaurant, where we found John Kline as ‘le directeur. who was bubbling over with news, telling us. with special enthusiasm, that Frank Herman was elected the new president of Columbia University and that Grace Osman and Ida Kivert were chemistry instructors in the School of Science in the same institution. In the afternoon of this particular day we were fortunate to hear a radio program at Alfred Miller’s Quality Radio establishment fitted with cozy booths for prospective buyers. To our delight the program that we ’listened in' to proved to be a pipe organ recital by Eva Dotter. given on the Skinner organ in Columbia University chapel, and Alfred was glad to tell us that he had heard James Peters broadcast violin solos the night before, and during the same week he listened in to a basketball game in which Ruth Newhard scored twenty-five field goals. The next day Marion’s insurance policy was due. We visited the office of the Metropolitan Insurance Company and found Dorothy McGill as stenographer to the president of the company and Margaret Lentz his private secretary. The two girls were glad to tell us that Margaret Nicholas was secretary for a prominent real estate company which had its offices in another part of the building. Two days before my return home we attended a baseball game and saw Arthur Young play as pitcher for the New York Giants. In the evening we attended a dance at ‘the Palisades’ and saw Alice Snyder and Miriam Praetorius win a prize in dancing. While going home we crossed an immense bridge across the Hudson and upon inquiry found that it had keen constructed by the Bibig Engineering Company that was headed by Laury Bibighaus. I happened to be in need of name cards since I had used all the one hundred I had ordered in school, so I asked Marion to take me to a reliable engraver and where should she take me to but to Paul Lindenmuth Company, expert engravers. Of course, you cannot help but guess that it was ‘Blondy.' manager of a reliable firm! While reading the New York Times I learned that Franklin Silfies. a master builder and contractor, was busily engaged in building sky-scrapers and in the dramatic section 1 saw that the famous debating team, of which Evelyn Miller was captain, was going abroad to debate with the Oxford College team.

Marion was reminded to tell me that Carolyn was attending a kindergarten taught by Mildred Werner and Althea Zellner. The day before my return home was most eventful. In the morning a water pipe burst, making it necessary to call in the plumbers, and who should they be but Henry Rabenold's force of men. Being in need of a few extra dollars to return home. 1 entered a bank to have a check cashed and 1 found Phaon Kuntz as the head banker. “On hailing a taxicab to go to the station in the evening I noticed the name ’Cole' painted in large letters on the taxi. Being ready to receive more surprises I asked the driver whether the boss might be LeRoy Cole, formerly from Northampton. ‘Right you are.’ he said. 'LeRoy Ccle. the boss of not only one taxicab company, but the boss of the International Taxicab Union.’ “After bidding good-bye to Marion. I boarded the train and settled down for a long ride and a short nap. After sleeping quite a time I was awakened by the conductor who proved to be George Snyder. Of course. I just had to chat with George, who concluded my week of amazing discoveries by saying that David Miller was on the same train as an expert mail clerk. This also reminds me that during my stay in the city my mail was delivered by Harold Nicholas, a most courteous and pleasant mail carrier.” Runia Guth. ’25 Class Poem I remember. I remember.

The Sophomore Class coming to school on Webster Schneck’s “Henry.” He had to make two or three trips, but as long as the gasoline did not escape Webster did not care. After the first period, the N. H. S. students assembled in chapel. We were surprised to see eleven of the sophs in the orchestra. They included: Martha Bachman, piano; Howard Bath, Myrtle Wolf, Clarence Hein, Robert Leh, Webster Schneck, violin; Roger Laub, Wilbur Beers, cornet; Frederick Fogel, Albert Royer, saxophone; Norman Rice, clarinet. What about sports? When the basketball season ended Mr. Christman was requested to produce the returns of the interclass games. We found that the sophs won the loving cup. The score for the Sophomore-Junior game was 23-22; and that of the Sophomore-Senior game, 40-19. About the eats! The cafeterias were conducted in the hall of the Domestic Science Room of the Northampton High School. They were served by the Sophomore girls with the aid of Miss Seidel, the Domestic Art teacher. We, the sophs, broke the records, having 73 diners at the last luncheon. We then turned our attention to the making of dresses and hats. In the afternoon when we returned to school we had a twenty-minute period of music. Here we sang “Kathleen. which reminded us of the play Kathleen,” given by our high school on the 23d and 24th of October. Among the leading characters in the play were Wallace Yaremko and Albert Royer. The faces of many other sophs were seen in the choruses and dances. 2 5 Northampton High School [Epippppppnillliiipip THE AMPTENNIAN The history period was very interesting because we had a debate on the question. “Resolved, that the textbooks should be furnished free by the state.” This was discussed before in the Freshman-Sophomore debate. The results were that the freshmen won, 2 to 1. We must say that they were very excellent, but—we were excellent too. The sophomores or negative speakers were Albert Royer, Martha Bachman, and Elizabeth Nagle. Usually on a Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock the S. B. A. met. The participants of our class were Elizabeth Bibighaus. Elizabeth Nagle. Hedwig Krencs, Martha Bachman, Martin O’Laughlin, Willard Hahn, and Wallace Yaremko. Since it is getting rather late we better get our cloaks and return home on the “flivver.” We had such a delightful time that next year you will likely hear about us as a class again. Adieu!

Wallace Northampton High School 1 9 2 5 1928 Class History IT WAS the morning of September 5. 1924, that one hundred and fifteen freshmen invaded the Northampton High School, and started out on a four years’ journey through the land of knowledge. Northampton was not the only town represented, for a large number of pupils from outlying districts and towns helped make this class the largest one that Northampton High School has ever known. Most of the members have proved to be excellent pupils and have been loyal workers for the best interest of the class. 1 9 2 5 The Freshman Class has shown itself to have fairly good basketball teams, although they were not strong enough to win the interclass cup. The girls’ team was composed of: Mary Gougher, Carrie Roth, Ruth Reiter, Irene Kline. Louise Nagle, Feme Shaeffer, Arlene Miller, Annabel Richards, and Marie Chernansky. The members of the boys’ team were: Charles Reichard, Samuel Newhard. Alfred Wolf, Kenneth Mensinger, Donald Newhard, Lewis Flom, and Walter Hawk. Mary Gougher and Carrie Roth succeeded in making the regular varsity team and the class has been proud of their achievements and they have participated in a number of games with the Holy Trinity team. Much talent is to be found among the freshmen and the class has contributed quite a few of its number to the orchestra, as follows: Violins—Helen Schwartz, Donald Haff, Margaret Fenstermaker, John Mickler, Charles Krencs. Norman Laub, Walter Smith, and George Gaesits. Banjo—Harold Kratz. Mandolin— Charles Reichard. Drums — John Weisel. Saxophones — Samuel Newhard, Robert Newhard, and Charles Sieger. Cornet—Donald Newhard. m 1 I n I m Northampton High School PI m [lUfU PIEEEEflBIEl the amptennian The Freshman Class has sown good oratorical ability. This talent was especially displayed in the interclass debate between the freshmen and sophomores. The speakers for the freshmen were Louise Nagle, Anna Pierce, and Harold Kratz. This trio were the victors of the contest. Louise Nagle and Carrie Roth were selected as participants in the triangular debate. The play “Kathleen” gave some of the members of the class a chance to show their dramatic ability as well as the ability to dance and sing. The frosh were very loyal and contributed Beatrice Siegfried. Irene Kline. Feme Schaeffer. Beatrice Young. Harold Kratz. Charles Reichard. Earl Smith, and Louise Nagle as members of the S. B. A. We feel as we close our freshman year that it has been a successful one in high school and we hope that this success may follow us throughout our career and make Northampton proud of the class of 28. 1928 Class Roll Beil.

Coach Keat. a former Lafayette athlete, and one who has taken graduate work at Pennsylvania, came to us after having served as athletic director at Dover. Delaware. We have been interested in his work and we are satisfied that his efforts have not been tried in vain. Mazie E. Berg has charge of the girls. She has done her part in promoting physical education among the girls. This was especially shown in the girls’ drill during music week. She has had special training at Pennsylvania State and Harvard University. We look forward to still more enthusiasm next year and expect to place Northampton High School among those who hold coveted positions in all Lehigh Valley League contests. We are sure that the Lehigh Valley League can continue, even though the larger schools have left the league to form the new league of this section of the state. Football was introduced and work was mainly carried out for the purpose of acquaintance with the rudiments of the game. Our game with Bangor was thrilling and showed us some fine material, even though the score was one-sided. More of the kind shall be ours the coming season. Basketball was rather disastrous this year. We were able to win three-quarters of the game, but very seldom could we complete the game with the score in our favor. Nearly all material was new. so we are well suited for the new season. A winning team has to be developed and we are going to do it. We are losing Young, the high-point scorer of the league for three years, by graduation. Also Rabenold. who did his part well after having been out of the game a year due to sickness. In baseball we have carried off equal honors with the teams we have met. We have a new diamond and all we need is still more material. We are pleased with the showing of the team. In tennis we have been keeping close to our rivals and we are interested in this growing sport at N. H. S. Quoiting has become a strong interclass sport and the faculty has likewise turned out a good team. We are interested in finding out what team will win the laurels. Interclass contests have been closely contested this year. The freshmen have given a fine exhibition of their athletic prowess. May Day has been the most interesting for all concerned. May 23rd was the big day” and all the field events were excellent. The athletic drill given the public on Tuesday evening of music week was well presented and convinced the patrons more thoroughly of the need of a new gymnasium. Northampton High School THE AMPTENNIAN The Varsity Basketball Squad Varsity Athletic Men ART” YOUNG. 25. Captain Art” Yeung was elected captain of the basketball team. We do not think any one regrets the selection, because Art” has served his team well. Art plays a forward position and is ranked as the best forward in the valley. He has been high scorer of the Lehigh Valley League for two years and it looks as if he had landed it for the third time in succession. Art is also a good baseball player, playing left field and pitcher when needed. Art is also captain of this team. He played fullback on our maybe-good football team and served it well. TIM MILLER. 26 One man that helped Northampton was Morris Miller. '26. He showed up so well in class basketball games that Mr. Keat urged him to come out for the varsity. He was successful, first playing center and then forward. Timmy also played on our football team as a halfback and played his position well. We wish Timmy” luck in the coming year and serve it as all Millers did and will in the future. HEN RABENOLD. 25 Hen,” on account of his sickness last year, was not able to come out for the basketball team, but this year he reported and gained a position on the varsity squad. He is a good shot and if he goes out and plays on any other team he should make good. Henry has played enough halves to earn his letter, and we are glad of it because this is the last time he can wear a suit at N. H. S. He also was a member of the football squad and played good. He was a candidate for baseball two years ago and made the team. He is a senior and will be missed next year. Northampton High School “JACK LUTTON. 26 Jack Lutton, our husky guard, is a junior and will be back on the basketball team next plays his man close and it is hard for his opponent to break away from him. He and Bob Leh have taken good care of the guard positions for most of the year. Lutton works the floor and has made some pretty shots. Lutton was also on our football team, playing tackle, and the opponents could try their best and not make a hole in that spot. FOSTER SCHAFFER. 26 Schaffer is another junior. Foster is known as Choke ’ by his teammates. He is always ready to substitute for either one of the LV at guard. Foster’together with three sophomores and three juniors will help make up the basketball team next year. “BOBBY” LEH Bobby Leh is one of our star guards. He is a member of the class of 27. and has two more years of high school basketball before him. He plays a very cool game, never loses his head. He is also a baseball and football man. He belongs to the Esta bita ji“ frat. “MAPE” KUTZLER. 27 This giant came to the basketball team this year and strengthened it very much. He plays the pivot position well. Walt is a heady player and a “clean-cut” player. He is fast and snappy in both his pass, floor work and shooting. Kutzler did not play on any other team at High and believes in playing one game good rather than to play several of them fairly good. “KID” ROYER. 27 Royer is another of these sophomores that was on the basketball team. “Kid showed very good form. We must say that he can play a good game if he wants to. Indeed, we consider him one of the best foul shooters on the team. Royer was also our second baseman on the baseball team. He is good in fielding and a fairly good hitter. The Kid can also pitch if we need him. The “Kid” will be back for the next two years. frpll H 1 9 2 5 fr= OUR CHEER LEADERS The cheer leaders this year have been doing good work. Harry Troxell, a junior, was our head cheerleader. He received good assistance from Charles Hoates. a senior, and Martin O’Laughlin, a sophomore. We will have two of the three back next year. R. L. L.. '27 Northampton High School ( rgan attong School Betterment Association 1 9 I AM a stranger to Northampton High. As 1 entered the door I noticed that it was a busy time of the day intermission of classes. But. I passed, everything was orderly and systematic, there was no pushing, scrambling, or clashing -every one watched his step. At each end of the hall I noticed a student who guided and directed his various schoolmates. Now. I am a very curious fellow, so I stepped up to one of these pupils and asked him many questions. He informed me that he was a traffic officer, whose duty it was to maintain order and discipline in the halls of Northampton High and that The School Betterment Association had created the traffic squad. I was sent to Mr. Smith, the faculty adviser, to gain more information. Having sought Mr. Smith, an invitation was extended to me to attend one of their business meetings. My curiosity having been aroused. I attended the meeting to learn just what kind of an organization the S. B. A. was. Here is the scene of the meeting. The president. Salome Keefer, was in charge of the session and had Laury Bibighaus. the secretary, present the records of the previous meeting. An account of the financial interests was then given by the treasurer. Frances Eichler. Since she was chairman of the Faster Flower Committee, she also gave an interesting report of the management of the Flower Selling Campaign, by which the funds of the S. B. A. were augmented by the sum of $45. A striking feature of the report was the freshman class had the greatest number of sales. The new business was then taken up. After a lengthy discussion as to what good should be accomplished with part of the $45 it was decided to present two prizes, a $5 gold piece and a $2.50 gold piece, to the winners of the Music Memory Contest. For my benefit the vice-president. !'Jack Lutton. repeated the aim of the S. B. A.. To accomplish at least one thing each year that shall be a permanent source of benefit to N. H. S. He also produced The Handbook of Northampton High School and told me that it was published by this association. It is a valuable book for all who are connected with the school. The president then authorized Elizabeth Nagle, the newspaper correspondent, to report the entire proceedings to the local news reporter. The meeting was then adjourned in the proper, businesslike manner. I was dazed and amazed because of all that happened, and decided to spread the news of the S. B. A. to as many high schools as I know. S. B. K.. 25 0] Northampton High School 2 5 THE AMPTENNIAN 1 9 2 5 Northampton Hi-Y Club THE. Northampton Hi-Y Club was organized on March 6. 1925. by the state representative of the Y. M. C. A.. Mr. Dalrymple. The Hi-Y. which is a secondary division of the Y. M. C. A., was developed into actual use among the older boys in the high school, and the local Y. M. C. A. group in Tulare County. California. In 1921 this organization petitioned the National Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association for recognition, and at the same time to be represented on the board of control in behalf of the juniors. The National Committee admitted them on conditions of a co-operative organization. While the Y. M. C. A. has offered them all the opportunities possible during their campaign throughout the country for membership and support, the juniors, taking advantage of the aid received, have become so strong during the past four years that they are now practically rivalling its founders in membership. The purpose of the course is to get down where the boys live with the teachings of Christ and the Bible. The object of the Hi-Y is to create Christian self-confidence, effectiveness of united action, and also to maintain high standards of Christian leadership throughout the school and community. The work of the association which was at first distinctly religious, while retaining that element, has been expanded so as to provide educational advantages and facilities for physical culture. The association is non-denominational and admits to membership any boy of good moral character regardless of race and creed, though only active members in communion with a Protestant Evangelical Church can vote or hold office. Our local school organization selected the following officers: Arthur Young, president; Robert Wedde. vice-president; Harry Troxell. secretary: David Miller, treasurer. Mr. Smith was selected as the faculty representative. The weekly meetings are held on a Friday evening at 4 P. M. The book selected is “An Older Boy’s Problems.’ by Dexter, of thirty-six. The club has a membership R. R. Wedde. 26 Science Club The Science Club is organized among first-year pupils. A few hikes are taken for the purpose of collecting plants. Northampton Hioh School 1 9 2 5 cJJ UNDER the personal supervision of Professor Christman, head of the physics department in the High School, the first radio club was duly organized in November. The club was originated in conjunction with the physics class, but it quickly took form as a club devoted to radio experimentation. The first few meetings were taken up in the discussion of matters regarding the organization of the club and the election of its officers. Harry Troxell was elected president; Kathryn Meighan. vice-president; Joseph Stofflet. secretary; Herbert Conover, treasurer. m m The president brought up some very important questions regarding the building of a set and the care that should be given so the best results could be accomplished. A special committee was appointed to select three sets from which one was to be chosen by the club. The committee reported on three sets, a Fada Neutrodyne. Super-Heterodyne, and a Browning Drake Hook-up. After discussing the merits of each, the Fada Neutrodyne was decided upon. The set was finally completed the last week in February and to the astonishment of the faculty, the set worked better than was expected. Directly after the set was completed, the Debating Club of the Northampton High School heard the debate between the U. of P. and Swarthmore. After the debate. Salome Keefer heard her selection for the oratorical contest given by a student of the National School of Oratory. And may we add Miss Keefer won the first prize in the contest at the High School on February 26th. On March 4th. the set was demonstrated to the school as a whole, when the inaugural address was broadcasted directly from Washington. D. C. We take this opportunity to thank all those who helped to make this venture a success. We especially thank the School Board for their support and interest shown toward the club. R. R. Wedde. '26 m U Northampton High School d TEBEiEIMEPlEIMEIEIi] THE AM PTEN NI AN Wah-tah-haw Camp Fire Girls WHAT! Haven’t you heard of the Wah-tah-haw Camp Fire Girls? They are the only organization of the kind in High School, having received their name on January 7. 1925. when a charter was granted them. During the school term the girls have indulged in such activities that have given them a place of high standing in the school and in our town. As their name signifies “work. they are certainly living up to it. holding entertainments and selling candy, and useful booklets, in order to raise money for their camping trip to be enjoyed at the end of the school term. You cannot possibly help boosting this helpful organization. The Camp Fire girls owe much of their success to their guardian. Miss Martin, of the High School faculty, by playing the part of a real worker and leader. Already they have started living their healthy and carefree lives by going on long hikes, and they will continue to do so with the coming warm weather. Worthy Camp Fire girls, do your share in upholding the laws for the betterment of humanity. The members of the Camp Fire are: Letha Gressler. Beatrice Hess. Grace Greenawald. Nora Wolfgang. Verna Weaver. Helen Heckman. Anna Mae Kleppinger. Margaret Yehl. Grace Schneck. Beatrice Snyder. Marian Kline. Marian Kuntz. Celia Lasarow, Gertrude Stofflet. Rose Gougher. and Frances Yehl. F. C. Y.. 26 Northampton High School THE AMPTENNIAN [ElElHEISEJ fEIHEIEfEp 1 9 2 5 The Amptennian FOR ten years the senior class has ended its High School career with a publication to set down forever everything pertaining to the class. A marked improvement may be seen in this kook, in that the binding, cover, printing, and originality of material far surpasses any preceding one. Hitherto the class selected the staff, but this year the faculty chose the members and the class then voiced their approval. It was thought better results would be secured in this manner, for members would thus be picked for ability and merit instead of popularity. Every member realized the honor conferred on him and immediately began working to uphold the standard of the class. The typists deserve praise, for their task was not easy, especially when material was late and had to be typed quickly. The Editor S. B. A. Handbook The S. B. A. Handbook, was first published in 1921. It was designed and written by the S. B. A., and each year the only changes made are revision of rules, additions in some departments, and the addition of the latest graduates. Its purpose is to acquaint the new pupil with the high school, and hence it is known as The Freshman Bible. The courses of study, cheers and songs, alumni roll, prizes, various organizations, faculty. S. B. A. constitution, and miscellaneous articles comprise the substance of the book. The Editor 1 9 2 5 Northampton High School The Black and Orange THE year 1925 marks the tenth anniversary of the Black and Orange. During the period many changes and improvements have been made. The book, as 1 first remember it. was called by the French name “La Perle. meaning the pearl.“ but owing.to the difficulty in interpreting the English article for the name it was changed to “Black and Orange.' a very significant name, as they are our school colors, and the magazine is to record school activities. The cover at one time was very vivid, being orange with black lettering, but as time went on the staff suggested a change of color and as a result it became gray and black, but still they were not satisfi«l and only recently it was changed to a black covering with orange lettering. This they feel carries out the school colors as well as the dignity. But the name and color of cover are not all that underwent a change. The material has been developing continually. It was at one time very “cut and dried.” but when this was realized. originality was introduced, making it the decided success that it is today. This success we hope will always remain unchanged and it will remain so if every one co-operates and gives unlimited support. The Editor m Northampton High School LITERARY The Spoon THE spoon was gone and Sally was going. Sally secretly felt disturbed and frightened, but gave no outward signs of her distress as she proudly ran down the steps of the Van Horn’s. It was raining very heavily, but as Sally walked on. her rain-cap snugly fitting her finely shaped bobbed head, and her rain-coat hiding the rest of her. she thought not of the rain but of the spoon. r The spoon, one of a set of six valuable silver ones, cleverly designed, was an heirloom of the Van Horns, prized very highly, for it had been handed down to the present Van Horn's from the original ancestor, who had lived in 1765. In some manner the spoon was lost, and in spite of all the searching undergone by the members of the household, it was not found. Sally who had last seen the spoon when she had placed it on the breakfast table for the morning meal was immediately discharged after battling through a stormy session with Mr. Van Horn, himself. Since she knew nothing about the disappearance of the spoon she made no explanation concerning it and quietly left the house. Sallv Mann, a girl of twenty, had been the servant of the Van Horn’s for three years and had really enjoyed her work. She was an attractive girl with straight black hair and brown eyes. As she continued her walking she grew prettier all the while, for the rain made roses appear in her cheeks and twinkles in her eyes. She loved the feel of the rain on her cheeks, for it seemed to soothe and comfort her. She decided to continue with her watery walk and perhaps the thought of her dismissal would be forgotten. Oh. that spoon, anyway! Yes. she had placed it by the side of Mr. Van Horn's knife, but where was it now? Where would she find another j b? What should she do? She was practically alone in the world, for her only relative was an aunt who lived in Ohio far from — a middle-sized town of New Jersey, where Sally had been working. On and on she walked with many questions, doubts, and thoughts racing through her mind. Though it was but late afternoon, it was rather dark and dreary, because of the continuous raining, but Sally kept on. no definite aim or spot in mind, no notice of where she was going. Down the main street of the town, up a side street, out a rural road. on. on. she rapidly walked. Gradually it became darker and stormier. Suddenly, realization came upon Sally and she stopped, for now her troubles were augmented. Far ahead she saw the light of a farmhouse, and she decided to go to the door and ask admittance to warm herself, and then to return to the town to a local boarding-house. She staggered slowly to the house, for she now felt herself worn out with fatigue and hunger. After a long five minutes of torture, she reached the door and knocked, but then -Sally dropped over in a dead faint. Mrs. Sanderson, the kindly wife of the farmer, found Sally, took her in and because of the kind instinct she possessed, placed Sally in bed. Sally was feverish that night and constantly in her dreams talked and raved about the spoon. Thus for a week Sally lay sick at the home of the Sanderson’s, though protesting and declaring that it was unreasonable for her to subsist on the hospitality of the Sanderson's. Mrs. Sanderson, however, had taken a liking to the girl and quieted all Sally's fears. When Sally became better she began to become acquainted with the family. She liked their kindness and sympathy, their fellowship and cheer, their humor and happiness. There was Bessie, a girl of fourteen; Jackie, the baby; Mary, a girl of eight, and Bob. the oldest, a fine lad. just twenty-one. To Sally Bob s face seemed familiar, but at first she could not place him. One day. as he was packing the eggs to take them to town she remembered him to be the egg-boy for the Van Horn's. But she could not bear the thought of the Van Horn's, for with it would appear the vision of the spoon. Sally had been at the Sanderson s for almost two weeks and was planning to leave, though it was a well-established fact that she had made a lasting impression on all the members of the family, including Grandma Sanderson, a dear old lady, and Tad. a wonderful collie, the pet of the family. The night before Sally s departure from the Sanderson's a pleasant evening was to be spent in music and other entertainments. As Sally sat before the fireplace. Grandma Sanderson told Bessie, and Mary a story of the days of her girlhood. Grouped about the fireplace, with lad at their feet, every one alive with interest, they produced a rather pretty picture. Sally was loathe to leave the Sanderson's, for a strong feeling of love had developed within her for them. Grandma finished the story and Bessie went to the kitchen to procure Grandma's broth. Sally talked to Bob and Mary and then fell into a thinking mood. She looked up. let THE AMPTENNIAN her eyes glance about and she saw the spoon. Was it real? Was it the spoon? Yes. it must be. There was only one like it. They were talking to her. but she could not reply. Was she dreaming or did she really see the spoon in Grandma's hand? She managed to rise and ask. ''Where, where did you get that spoon?” in a quavering, nervous voice. Bob made her sit down, calmed her and then told her that Tad the dog had one day brought it home and because of its worth the Sanderson's had kept it as Grandma's very spoon. Then she cleared the mystery for the family and told them the connection of the spoon with her and her illness. She became almost hysterical as she had joyed at the prospect of finding the spoon. But she thought. How did Tad find the spoon?” and as she thought unknowingly she voiced the question. Why,” said Bob. Tad always accompanies me to town and—yes. he was with me the day we found you—since he always brings home all other articles he finds, for the same reason he brought this. Probably. Miss Mann, the spoon fell to the floor or by chance Tad might have picked it from the table. Wonderment and unbelief was registered on Sally's face at first, but gradually the true light of the situation was understood by her. She wanted to go to the Van Horn's immediately, but after much persuasion she was forced to wait until the next day. The spoon was returned and Sally returned. Again she is the old Sally, jolly, pretty, and pleasant and willing to aid all. Bob and the Sanderson’s were steadfast friends of hers, so much sd that at the end of three years Sally adopted the new name of Mrs. Robert Sanderson and included among her wedding gifts, a dozen, beautiful silver spoons, the gift of the Van Horn’s, as a token and reward for her services and their great mistake, guilty accusation upon an innocent girl. The spoon was adopted as the family coat-of-arms for the Robert Sanderson's. S. B. K.. 25 1 9 2 3 Northampton High School 1 9 2 5 U PlBl THE AMPTENNIAN The Bright Side of the 1925 Class READER, wouldst thou know what co-operation and fellowship mean; wouldst thou enjoy friendship and loyalty; wouldst thou bask in the sunshine of smiles, unprejudiced and encouraging; wouldst thou listen to kind and sympathetic words and see cheerful faces visit the class of ’25 for a week. For two to work in harmony, it is remarkable; but for a class it is mastery. There have been no two factions to oppose each other in the good old class of 25. and no meanness has been enacted by any individual against another. Excepting a few friendly battles between Marion Ward and Dorothy Troxell in the chemistry laboratory, the class of ’25 has been commcndably peaceful. There may have been irony and ludicrousness at work during the past year, but they never created lasting grievances or heartaches. ’’Peace. ’ it seems, was our slogan, though we did not make it so intentionally. Sara Richards may have endeavored often to raise a disturbance by playing mouth organs, relating jokes or talking in the hall, but even Sara’s trickery was innocent and involved no conspiracy. Although our ambitious and hardworking members have similar grades, and are running a close race, there is no enmity among them. I heard words from one of these addressed to his friend which ran thus. “I know we are recognized scholastic rivals, but please don’t think too unfriendly of me. I certainly feel honored to have you as a rival.” We all try hard to restrain our tempers, but it seems Margaret Schreiber simply must let loose once in a while to give way to her forceful thoughts, but after a few seconds you will find her smiling and as sweet as ever. Renia Guth also has a hard time, especially when keeping cool. Charles Hoats ties her fast to the seat with a cord string, but she receives encouragement from her pal. Violet Rupp, who with a smile bravely weathers storms of teasing from her many friends and manages to remain subdued. 1 9 2 5 1 warn you. reader, never attempt to feel blue when Salome Keefer is about. Her sunny smile is enough to cheer the dead and her friendship is valued by many. The eyes of Robert Klotz also have the knack of conveying to you that he is happy and feels tip-top and that he wants you to feel the same. Margaret Nicholas is small, but oh! my. she’s all smiles and willingness. Eva Dotter also belongs to the cheerful and smiling ladies of our class. In fact, everybody does, but I don’t want to tire you with too many smiles. But I simply can’t forget Thomas Fluck, who always manages to see a joke in anything you tell him. The good-will of each class member, in conjunction with the co-operation of forty other members, carried us through our High School career on a smooth and level basis. I hope we may all live up to our past spirit after we leave the dear N. H. S., launch our ships on different seas, associate with new friends, and fight new battles. R.

THE CLASS OF 1925. are standing on the thresholds of our careers. Before us lies a great busy, bustling world—a world full of opportunities and possibilities -a world teeming with the activities of human life —a world in which we. ourselves, are soon to become important factors. We have had dreams, each and all of us. bright and glorious dreams of the future. It is now and henceforth our aim to make tho3e visions real—to make our dreams come true. It will not be an easy task, for it will require hard, unceasing labor. There will be few to render aid. but many to criticise our doings. We have passed through all the gates on the east, south, and north sides, and will now turn our faces to the west, sorry to leave familiar haunts, yet eager to take our places in the great scheme of life. We shall aim to do what Charles Kingsley has said in these lines: Be good, sweet children, and let who will be clever. Do noble deeds, not dream them all day long. And so make Life. Death that vast forever. One grand sweet song.” What sadder event could come into the lives of an assembly of young people than a complete breaking of old ties? A revolution so thorough that we find nothing left that has been. Old faces depart, old names are no longer heard of. even old landmarks which one might suppose would be as permanent as the everlasting hills are obliterated and forgotten. So we. the class of 1925. have put our lives and souls in this, our annual. The Amptennian. so as to make it a success, hoping that you may peruse over its pages until nothing remains. When the name of Northampton High School is mentioned we will lift our voices in proud adulation of the lessons we gained there. Long may it live and flourish and. speaking our last good-bye as a class, we call down rarest blessings on its head which it is our hope may last as long as time shal iendure! E. M M..

Kathleen.” a musical comedy under the direction of Miss Dorabelle Strong, a representative of the John B. Rogers Producing Company of Amateur Theatricals. Fostoria. Ohio, was presented by the pupils of Northampton High School. The first act opened on the exterior of Hans Swindler s grocery store in the little town of Flynnville. Massachusetts, with Lem Underduck, the sheriff, and Teckley Bramble discussing the topics of the day over a checker-board. Lem was in love with Arabella Wilkins, an old maid, who refused to marry him until he did some heroic deed. Michael Flynn, the wealthiest citizen of the town, and owning a great deal of property, including Hans Swindler s store, had brought up his niece. Kathleen O’Day. with the plans of some day marrying her to the supposedly rich Ned Rollingston. But Kathleen, in showing her affections to Jimmy Stanton, the store clerk, was seen by Mr. Flynn, and he immediately stopped the love affair by firing Jimmy. Ned Rollingston. in one of his trips home from college, robbed Hans Swindler s safe and shifted the blame on Jimmy, who was sent to prison for the misdeed of another. However, the real thief was caught; Jimmy was released, and Kathleen and Jimmy were happily reunited at a party given by Michael Flynn. CAST OF CHARACTERS Lem Underduck..

The curtain opened to reveal the boys' room on the top floor of an old-fashioned New York house, and there was David MacKenzie with his feet propped on the table, poring over his law books. However, this atmosphere disappeared when Jim and Tim entered, for they were always getting into some mischief. We shall never forget the squibble about whose turn it was to put away the wash. Oh! what a gloomy house there was when George lost his job: poor Austin heard nothing but their troubles from morn until night. But their troubles did not last forever, for the day came when Austin inherited The Fair-view School for Girls.” George was more than surprised when he heard of this good fortune, for that was where his girl, Elise, attended school. Austin's plans for the management of this school were entirely different from those of his aunt’s and he immediately set about them by changing the name of the school to that of The Charm School.” All of his principles of teaching were based on “Charm,” nothing else was necessary. Poor George and his love for Elise! However, Austin’s love was quite hopeful, for he was caught by his own principles of charm.

A triangle was formed among the Northampton. Pen Argyl and Nazareth High Schools. This project was sponsored by Mr. Scheaffer. our principal. The Northampton affirmative team debated the Pen Argyl negative team at home, while the Northampton negative team journeyed to Nazareth to debate their affirmative team. The question for debate was Resolved. That the proposed twentieth amendment to the United States Constitution should be ratified. The affirmative speakers were Margaret Lentz. Louise Luckenbach. Louise Nagle, and Verna Weaver, alternate. The negative speakers. Evelyn Miller. Carrie Roth. Frances Eichler. and Ruth Newhard. alternate. After an enthusiastic and exciting debate on both sides, the decision was announced in favor of the negative side at home and the affirmative at Nazareth. Although both our teams lost, much praise and comment was given to them by the judge and the audience. Much praise must also be given to our instructors. Mr. Kutz and Mr. Smith, for their untiring efforts of coaching the contestants. Growing out of this inter-high school debate a regular debating club was formed. The purpose of the club is to continue these triangular debates and to stimulate more debating activity lor future teams, and we feel that it will serve to develop the argumentative qualities of the pupils of our school. The following officers were elected: Margaret Lentz, president; Carrie Roth, secretary and treasurer; Frances Eichler. scribe. Northampton High School 1 9 2 5 !IUUUlBUlli!lil the amptennian Music Week TO BRANCH of education in the public schools has received more attention ■t 'I during the last few years than music. No phase of our present educational system can be of so much service as a sound musical education. It can bring more joy and gladness into our homes than any other single thing and it has become a necessity to teach it in our public schools. In this line of work, Miss Cromis has very ably supervised the teaching of music in Northampton’s schools. She has organized the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Senior Glee Clubs and alternately one of these has taken part in the chapel services every Friday morning by singing a number, which was greatly appreciated by the rest of the student body. Music Week was observed in Northampton, May 3 to 9, 1925, by several features. The orchestra, which is this year the largest in the history of the High School, opened the week by giving a concert on Monday evening, May 4th, in the High School Auditorium. The orchestra has been doing splendid work under the direction of Mr. Newhard, and the concert was one of the best yet produced.

In order to decide who could take part in this contest a preliminary examination was taken of the student body of High School and of seventh and eighth grades. The victrola was used for the preliminary test, but on the night of the contest, local talent performed. Several prizes were awarded to the ones who had the largest number of compositions, with their composers, correct. This was the first event of this kind to be held in the schools, and was accepted with favor by the pupils. On Friday evening. May 8th. the grade concert was held and proved a very successful event to close the Music Week. In connection with the concert, the pupils in physical education under Miss Berg and Mr. Keat gave some fine exhibition work of drills and exercises.

We certainly did get acquainted with the interior of Northampton High School that night. Upon entering the school we drew slips to find our partner for the evening. There was a wild goose hunt until we all had found our partners, but they all came to us rather than we to them. We started on the second floor and went through all the halls upstairs and downstairs, all the lights being turned out in the basement. This certainly did give us freshmen some ghostly ideas as to what might come next. We were scared for the whole next week thereafter, but it was one successful way to make the “timid” ones become acquainted with the place. In our sophomore year we had the pleasure of serving a dinner to the Northampton County Educational Club. We prepared our menu cards and gave everything such a queer name that the directors thought they would never be able to enjoy nature thereafter. They all ate heartily and they finally decided that Northampton High School certainly should be honored for their good cooks. We also prepared a luncheon for our mothers. This was held mainly for the purpose of showing our mothers how well talented their daughters were in the line of cooking. We served all kinds of eats, played games, joked and enjoyed music furnished by the victrola. After all the mothers had become acquainted they started to chatter away, until they departed. All enjoyed themselves and learned that their daughters would be excellent cooks in the future.” Under the guardianship of Miss Seidel we hiked over to Sara Richard’s place in our sophomore year. We left in the afternoon and certainly enjoyed ourselves. While there we had some very thrilling experiences. Our star” horseback rider showed us some very exciting stunts; two girls jumped across the creek and suffered sprained ankles from the attempt. Pictures were taken of individuals and of the group, all seated on the big porch. It was to be a doggie roast, and one could soon realize that it was nothing but that if they had seen the many pounds of doggies eaten. After our supper was eaten we started for home. We returned home in groups because some walked faster than others, due to the amount of food eaten; “Peachy being among the last ones to get home. We arrived in town about 8 o’clock and were all prepared for a good rest. Class of ’25’s Sleighing Party THE night set for our sleighing party, two years ago. was January 20th. That certainly was a cold night, however. It was agreed that we should all meet at the High School at 7 o'clock. Some, however, were late—which is very unusual for a member of the class of '25. The sleigh was supposed to hold from twelve to seventeen people, but as we were all very “skinny (Frank Herman and Ruth Newhard, for instance), about twice that number were packed in.” Thus, we started on our sleighing party. We did not have the misfortune of being thrown into a snow bank, so, of course, our ride was uneventful. Northampton High School hliilEUPIEUBEJHEfEE! THE AM PTENNI AN 1 9 1 5 We expected to have a chicken supper at Indianland, but when we arrived there we found that due to some misunderstanding, they had not prepared it. So we ate hot dogs as a substitute. Some, however, were well pleased with this- less expense! We played a number of games and then returned home—-as gay as ever. Class of '25’s Picnic SOME in a Ford, some in a Dodge, some in a Hudson, some in a Gardner— but all bound for Dorney Park. A happy-go-lucky crowd, singing and laughing as the automobiles swiftly flew to the park, where a picnic day was in store for the class of '25, the juniors. Dorney Park was honored by the presence of these jolly juniors last June 20th. As chaperones we had Miss Stem and Mr. Kutz. How they dived into the wonderful picnic lunch prepared by the girls. An unending supply of Marion Ward's potato salad (Mm! To think of it waters my mouth!); sandwiches, all kinds- ham. cheese, ham paste; pickles; olives; fruit, juicy and sweet; potato chips, crisp and salty; and cakes from Peachy New-hard’s baker shop. What fun they had! Peachy Newhard outclassed Mr. Kutz in bowling and then they had a scrap. Blondy Lindenmuth while roller skating fell while his eyes were gazing upon a pretty girl. Sara Richards and Peachy Newhard gave a diving exhibition. Miss Stem ate one more sandwich than Mr. Kutz. Knees were knocked and bruised when the juniors chased each other on the skooter. The roller coaster was constantly haunted by the juniors. All was joy and fun. It was a never-to-be-forgotten day and when we have become aged and gray we shall chuckle as we recall these incidents. Miss Stem and Mr. Kutz. our chaperones, set the time for leaving. Though protesting at the shortness of the day, the crowd left the park at dusk as carefree and lively as when they came—though a little tired. Poor Bobby Klotz when he arrived home was minus a basket, but on his way back to the park Sara discovered that the basket was in another machine and everything was all right. That was the last time we were juniors, for in September when we met again we were the seniors. Illustrated Lecture ON Friday evening. March 27th. Prof. Harry Bailey, of Muhlenberg College, gave an illustrated lecture on his Thrilling Experiences with Wild Animals in the Great Dismal Swamp.” The lecture was greatly appreciated by every one who heard it. I m 1 1 m i) 1 1 m E 1 9 2 5 Northampton High School [sJq m THE AMPTENNIAN Domestic Science Department 1 9 2 5 THIS department, one of the most interesting in the course of a sophomore girl, has proved very successful. Miss Seidel, the head of the Domestic Science Department, along with us girls, had planned many interesting and successful things for us to do. One of the first things we did was to serve a luncheon to the members of the faculty. The sophomore class, because of the large enrollment, is divided into two sections, one commonly known as the commercials; while the other are academics. The commercials had first choice and chose the male members of the faculty as their guests (we wonder why? ?); the academics had the ladies, but we didn't envy them a bit. because ladies are more easily satisfied than men (so they say? ? ?). 1 9 2 5 At eleven-thirty on the two days set for the luncheons, the guests were summoned to the prettily decorated dining room, by a neatly dressed waitress (wearing an apron, which was made by herself). When the guests entered the dining room, darkness was before them, save for the dim lights produced by the colored candles placed about the room. Immediately the lights were switched on and after some difficulty the guests found their places. The first thing they did was pick up the menu (made bv the girls) to see what they were about to eat. The menu consisted of well. I better not tell you. because it will only make your mouth water for the different delicious foods. The lunch was served in courses, which was an advantage to the guests, because, at that time they could notice the many pretty decorations in the room. As it was near the Christmas holidays, the room was decorated in Christmas colors; green and red. In the middle of the table was a small spruce tree with moss at its base, bordered by the many colored papers that compose confetti. One corner of the room was brightened by a Christmas tree, while the walls were decorated with green and red crepe paper. The fireplace seemed to make the room feel warm. At each guest s plate was a small favor; a small burning candle and a small dog made out of different colored and different sized gum drops, held together with a tooth pick, while melted chocolate served the purpose of the eyes. We had also made turtles out of dried raisins with whole cloves resembling the feet and tail. All of this was the idea of our teacher. Miss Seidel. After the luncheon was served the guests left the room by way of the kitchen, and in passing by. they congratulated the girls on their fine cooking and clever decorations. Immediately the girls set about clearing up the dining room, washing dishes, and eating the few left-overs. From the appearance of the empty plates, the assurance from the guests, we were satisfied that the luncheon was a complete success. Another thing that aroused our interest in cooking was the cafeteria which we conducted during the months of January and February. We served luncheon every Tuesday and Thursday at eleven-thirty. Not only the school children, including those who carried their lunch, but also teachers, including both high school and grade schools, partook of our tasty menus. However, Northampton High School EEMEEIEIEEIEEIH THE AMPTENNIAN EEIEEIEEEHEEEl I®! P m 1 1 9 2 5 things were not as perfect as they might have been in the beginning, but as weeks passed, great progress was made; not only in cooking, but in the financial end. ith the proceeds of the luncheon we bought some necessary articles for the kitchen. At last, after eight weeks of hard work (not really hard, with so many girls around) the cafeteria was given up and another line of interest was pursued. This was hat and dress making. This was the reason for all the stunning hats and dresses that blossomed forth on Easter morning. We were not doing all this work merely to have a new hat or dress, but for the great fashion show and health play held in May. It is at this time that the girls show their skill in hat and dress making to the public. May has been quite a busy month, for we entertained our mothers at a party, which was known as a Japanese party. The dining room was appropriately decorated. After all were acquainted and an hour of entertainment was had. we served a delicious luncheon to our mothers, which convinced them that we were cooks in every sense of the word. In domestic art we learn how to become a good cook, and also about all kinds of fabrics. One day a week we had the study of these materials, including their weave, grade, price, use. and popularity. Several times, accompanied by Miss Seidel, we toured different mills in town. All mills proved very accommodating, giving us one of their learned employees to take us through and explain every work in the mill thoroughly. These trips proved interesting and helpful to ail the girls. Behold! we must not forget our little cooks, the eighth graders. They are small, but are progressing fast. One evening in February they entertained the mothers and the teachers. After an hour of entertainment, during which many games were played and contests given, the little cooks served a delicious lunch to their guests. The only regret of the evening was that Father Time passed by too quickly. They all left reluctantly, congratulating Miss Seidel on her fine teaching, and hoping they could all meet again. Now. it is not only the eighth graders, their mothers and the teachers that are to congratulate Miss Seidel, but everybody that has been under her supervision. The sophomore girls congratulate and thank her for her fine teaching during the last four years, and bid her farewell as a teacher, but not as a friend. L. L... 27 iJlMIUlUlUlillMUl] Northampton High School Manual Training Department THIS particular type of manual training is the kind that deals with wood-working. The young boy in the seventh grade starts to learn wood-working in the Northampton High School Manual Training Department. In this department, there is an especial interest aroused in the majority of the young, robust youths that comprise it. There is a spirit of patience and reward within the hearts of those that use their hands together with their minds in the production of the beautiful, varied, and useful articles made of wood. When one looks over a class of the young workers, it is amusing to see the frowns and smiles on the twitching faces and contortioning bodies. These all help to make the future finished product which arouses the pride in the happy possessor of the object, whether the object be great or small. Possibly the manual training work, which is supervised by Clinton A. Bilheimer. shows the result of much patience, care, and hope This year the department had an unusual display of masculine-skilled workmanship—tables, chairs, cabinets, toys, swings, taborets. pedestals, lights, fruit bowls, candle sticks, and even down to that famous old weapon of agitated married women -the rolling pin. The success of this department has in the past been great, and the outlook for the future, shows development into bigger, better and greater success. John P. Kline. ’25 THE AMPTENNIAN I 1 m Northampton High School E 1 9 2 5 EHHEl lE@EM[EJEJ IPm THE AMPTENNIAN The Art Department THE Art Department is a recent addition to the activities of the Northampton Schools, especially in the High School. Much progress has been made along this line, as is shown by the splendid compositions produced. The help and supervision of Miss Meyers greatly influenced this work. The work accomplished by these young artists was put before the public by means of the art exhibition during Music Week, and it was highly appreciated by all who saw it. Both teacher and pupils received pleasant encouragement from the people who were interested in this work. The work was rendered on posters and in wash, pencil, and crayons, arranged in attractive positions on green background burlap. Not only the High School helped in improving the Art Department, but also the grades. They are being taught the essentials of modern art and when they are in the art classes of the High School they should make a big improvement in this elective subject. The field of art is very extensive, and the little we learn might be a great help to those who will be the illustrators of a few years from now. There is rarely a book, newspaper, pamphlet, or magazine that is published which does not have something in the line of art. 1 9 2 5 We must again turn our attention to Miss Meyers, and congratulate her for the fine work she has done in furthering this subject. F. S.. 75 The Work of the Red Cross 1 2 5 1 1 NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL has been fortunate in having the local Red Cross organization take an active interest in the physical welfare of its pupils. The idea is to make its pupils more physically fit for society. The pupils are examined at least twice a year to help them along in their physical development. The way in which the pupils are helped in the physical development is by having them weighed to see whether or not the pupil is under weight. (This has been just a recent operation in our schools.) The doctor also examines their teeth, eyes, vaccinations, etc. If one has faulty vision or defective teeth a slip is sent to the parents and they, in turn, try, or at least should try. to correct their defect or defects. At different times the community nurse gives lectures or little talks to have the pupils understand the different conditions of life. The pupils of the High School have been fortunate in having two doctors from the Department of Health at Washington. D. C., Doctors Simpson and Caldwell, visit us. They were gotten here through the efforts of the Community Red Cross nurse. We are grateful for the services rendered by Miss Cupit and are sorry to lose her this June. However, we are well pleased that she has decided to remain a citizen of Northampton. Northampton High School [iillHEJElMHPfEIHHEIMl] THE AMPTENNIAN Alumni Department WE BID you welcome, class of 1925! With your graduation from the Northampton High School, you are now a member of the Alumni Association. It depends upon you, as individuals, whether you will become an active and valued member of this association, or whether you will be a member in name only. There are too many members of this organization who are members in name only, and we sincerely hope that the members of the class of 1925 will not belong to the inactive group. The number of active members is too small to make the Alumni Association an active and up-to-the-minute organization. A plea is made here for the members of the earlier classes, especially, to come out and attend the various meetings held during the year. It is very discouraging to those members who are taking an interest in the association to arrange alumni affairs and then have a poor attendance. A meeting of the executive committee was held in May, and at this meeting it was decided to hold an alumni banquet some time in June at an out-of-town place. The committee which was appointed to make arrangements for the banquet is making an effort to secure former members of the high school faculty as speakers. Attend the alumni banquet and make it a reunion with some of your former high school teachers! Cards will be mailed to the members and the prompt return of these cards will be greatly appreciated by the committee. 1 9 1 5 The editor of this department wishes to thank the alumni members who have contributed articles and news both for the Black and Orange and the Amptennian. Mazie E. Berg, '19 m 1 9 2 5 Nursing as a Profession THE word nursing is a beautiful old word meaning to nourish, to tend, to sustain, or protect. The impulse to care for those who are helpless and ailing comes from the deeply rooted mother-instinct which all true women have in some degree. In a general way, the nurse in the hospital or home is responsible for the personal care of the sick person. She provides the right mental and physical environment for the patient, prevents the spreading of the disease to others, carries out the physician’s instructions regarding diet, medicine, etc., assists him in operations and treatments, observes and notifies the physician of all important developments in the condition of the patient, and where consultation is impossible, administers the proper medical measures as necessity arises. The duties and responsibilities of a nurse are such that they demand a very considerable degree of knowledge and skill. The sciences underlying them are varied and comprehensive, the procedures are often complicated and technical, and the power of observation required is highly specialized. The ability to organize all these complex duties, to deal with all classes and kinds of people, and to meet critical situations wisely and promptly, requires long experience and constant practice in the actual conditions of the sickroom. Northampton High School EllHEfEIHEJElMEJEPIEIl] THE AMPTENNIAN To make a good nurse, one must have an alert and understanding mind, good judgment, refined and wholesome tastes, and sufficient knowledge of the sound fundamentals on which a professional training can be built. 1 9 2 5 The field of nursing is expanding at a very rapid rate. In no other profession for women is there such a wide variety of positions to choose from. Private nursing is undoubtedly the most familiar field to the general public, but it does not represent at all adequately the possibilities open to competent women in the nursing field of today. Women of executive ability choose institutional or administrative positions. The nurse whose interest is centered in the human and social, or on the public side of the work, has a large number of fields to choose from. There is no way of becoming a recognized member of the nursing profession except through graduation from a good training school. The cheap, short-cut methods have all grown futile and deceptive. Just as medicine or any other profession, the status of the nurse depends on the prestige of the school from which she received her training. Without a diploma from a reputable school, she cannot look forward to occupy any important positions, or winning the confidence of a discriminating public. The choice of a good school is thus of the highest importance. Nursing as a profession, in my estimation, is ideal, and the only means of reaching proficiency in nursing is as Florence Nightingale, the foster-mother of nursing, emphasized the absolute necessity of long vigorous training. “Nursing is an art,” she insists, “and if it is to be made an art it requires as hard a preparation as any painter’s or sculptor’s work, for what is having to do with dead canvas or cold marble compared with having to do with the living body? There is no such thing as amateur art: there is no such thing as amateur nursing. Isabelle Kune, ’21, School of Nursing and Health, University of Cincinnati, '24 The Newspaper Game A TRUE conception of newspaper work, with all its advantages and disadvantages cannot be given in a few words. But there are some things about the newspaper game that every student who is looking forward to choosing a profession or business should know. For this reason I shall give a mere outline of newspaper work and its possibilities as I have seen it as a city reporter on an afternoon daily and as a college correspondent and press agent. First of all, it is well to realize that practically every newspaper establishment has a system of its own, depending largely on its size, location, time of publication, and the number of its issues. But let us take some of the essential phases of the work that is done in the newspaper office. The first task, when the news staff reports for work, is to clip and rewrite articles from other papers, covering that period of the day during which their paper was not printed. In some offices a few men are assigned to this work, in others practically every member of the staff takes a hand. It is the duty of Northampton High School UEfEfEflifEPJHEPlll THE AMPTENNIAN 1 9 2 5 the city editor to determine what should be clipped and in this he must be guided by his knowledge of what news had been carried in the last issue of his own paper. His ability to remember this is one of the requirements of his position. During the course of the day or evening, whichever it may be. the reporters cover their assigned districts, some going to police courts and headquarters, to firehouses, county courts, and county offices. The sporting editor visits sporting centers, and so on down the line to the obituary man, who seeks out the undertakers and makes frequent telephone calls to the hospitals and to the coroner. In the smaller papers, where only two or three issues are printed daily, the reporters generally return to the office and write their own stories. In the larger offices, where issues are sent out every hour, the reporters phone their facts to the office where some one else writes the story. In addition to the regular routine work, the reporters may be called upon to prepare special articles. They may be sent out to interview any one from the street corner blind man to the biggest business man in the city. These few examples serve to illustrate the fact that a reporter s life is not a humdrum existence. He must be wideawake every minute and ready for anything. Every day he meets some situation or incident that is never just exactly like any he has met before. But what are the advantages and the disadvantages of this game? First of all. it is a wonderful education in itself. You learn many things in newspaper work that can never be learned in textbooks or classrooms. You are constantly learning more about the world, about the people in it, and about human nature in general. If there is any place where the pulse of humanity can be felt, it is over the press service wires and the telephones of a newspaper office. Let a great national political party open its convention; let a sand cave swallow its victim; or let a world series game be played, and the news office phones chime constantly, bringing anxious inquiries, sympathetic expressions, and cynical comments. From all these the newspaper man learns day by day and what he learns he cannot forget, as he will forget much of what he once read in the pages of his textbooks. However, the newspaper man’s earnings usually fail to keep pace with his learning process. Yet, there are positions in the newspaper world that do pay very well. Such positions as those filled by foreign correspondents, correspondents in the national capital, and authorities on political affairs, usually carry with them salaries that are far above the average for professional men, such as lawyers, doctors, and teachers. Moreover, positions in the newspaper world that pay big salaries, almost without exception, are positions of great influence in the city, state, or nation. Finally, what is it that makes newspaper work so popular? Within the last few years practically every large college and university in the country has added journalism to its curriculum. That is but one of the signs of the growing popularity of newspaper work. There are many things that have contributed to this popularity, but much of it is due to the fascination of the game itself. I have met many old newspaper men who started their journalistic careers while still in college, expecting to carry on the work for only a short time, but like the Lotus-eaters, they could not tear themselves away, so fascinating had the work proved. If you have ever seen a staid old college professor wave his arms wildly as a winning touchdown was made in a football game, you have seen why men are m i Northampton High School I THE AMPTENNIAN I willing to turn to newspaper work. It is the constant excitement, the thrill of the game, that draws men and women to it, and will not let them go. It matters not how big or small the assignment given to the reporter, there is always the possibility of success or failure. To the reporter it is a game—if he has sufficient ingenuity he usually wins; if not. he loses. When he is not busy playing his own game he stands aside and watches the whole world take part in the great game of life. as its plays and scores come in over the far-reaching press association wires, bringing news from all the corners of the earth.

Class of 1922 1] Northampton High School [MlllffBlfigllptilllfllliBl.ElfigllEll m 2 5 THE publication of an annual is by no means an easy matter for a High School class to undertake. This year’s Amptf.nnian has undergone numerous changes which are expected to meet with approval. The class of 1925 has done its part in co-operating to accomplish the task of publishing the “best” year book which has been the aim of every preceding group and we hope will continue to be the aim of those who follow. On the publication board are many who have worked faithfully. We acknowledge the help rendered by other members of the class: but we feel certain we should grant recognition to those to whom we entrusted the task that has been successfully completed. Our editor, by her winsome personality, pleasant smile and sterling qualities of a fight to the finish” girl, has devoted many an hour to this work. When called upon to help in other departments she jumped right in and worked. Trustworthiness is a great quality in an editor and we have found this to be true of our editor. With never a task too difficult she has put ’’spirit” and feeling into the contents of this final record of High School activities of the class of 1925. Our business manager, by his dependability on previous occasions, his tact in handling business affairs, and his interest in Northampton High School as a pupil, have gone far to bring this publication to a successful close. Untiring in his efforts, willing to uphold the right before his classmates and co-operating with the faculty in carrying out its regulations, we must give him due praise and thanks for his efforts in securing the necessary funds.

He was fairly well educated and naturally this menial labor was not to his taste. But he made up his mind that even a potato peeler could succeed and he dug right in and peeled more potatoes than any one else in the kitchen. That is the way he started climbing out of the rut. Now, at the age of fifty, do you think he is still peeling potatoes in the same hotel kitchen? Heavens, no! He is peeling apples.

West Virginia I glance about my schoolroom, and ponder in my heart If I am really worthy to take a leader’s part. The eager, up-turned faces, the eyes that brightly shine. Are confident and trusting, these little folks of mine. I know that I am richer far than Midas with his gold. For is it not my privilege their sweet young lives to mold? They’re just a bit of living clay and I the potter, who By every little act or word must mold a pattern true. Tis not alone the knowledge that is contained in books. But what the teacher does and says, and how that teacher looks. That is the best remembered when time has passed away; So. I must needs be watchful throughout the livelong day. Again I look about me and know that I am blest. And wonder, am I strong enough to really stand the test? Can I keep the eyes a-sparkle. upon each face a smile? For if I can. I know then, my teaching’s been worth while. The Vocation of a Teacher THE dignity of the vocation of a teacher is beginning to be understood. The idea is dawning upon us that no office can compare in solemnity and importance with that of training the child; that skill to form the young to energy, truth and virtue is worth more than the knowledge of all other arts and sciences; and that the encouragement of excellent teachers is the first duty which a community owes to itself. I say the truth is dawning and must make its way—the whole worth of a school lies in the teacher. You may accumulate the most expensive apparatus for instruction, but without an intellectual, gifted teacher it is little better than rubbish, and such a teacher without apparatus may effect the happiest results. What we want is a race of teachers acquainted with the philosophy of the mind, gifted men and women, who shall respect human nature in the child and strive to touch and gently bring out its best powers and sympathies, and who shall devote themselves to this as the great end of life. This good. I trust, is to come, but it comes slowly. This good requires that education shall be recognized by the community as its highest interest and duty. It requires that the instructors of youth shall take precedence of the money-getting class, and that the woman of fashion shall fall behind the female teacher. —William Ellery Channing Northampton High School THE AMPTENNIAN I [aj|(§]j[a]j[ffl|[aia] m 1 9 2 U lj 1 1 H Bell Phones 1237—1238 Lehigh Phone 2155 J.
