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
