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. Northampton High School
