EEEHimiElllIllEEl THE AMPTENNIAN David William Miller “Dave” Rising Sun. Pa. Academic 11 David comes from the neighborhood of Rising Sun. a suburb of Laurys. For that reason we have always found him to be on time during his four years of high school. David's main hobby has been hunting and trapping and quite frequently the members of the lunch room were entertained by his stories of “thrilling adventures with wild animals.' Though rather quiet and unassuming. Dave” is an earnest worker and holds the record for selling the largest number of boxes of candy. David's intentions are to become a railway mail clerk and we are positive that this is the right occupation for him. for he knows geography from A to Z. May you ever earn the praises and honors of your new life as you have in the past. “Dave.” Activities: S. B. A.. I. 2; Hi-Y. 4; Student Council. Offices: Treasurer of Hi-Y.

Coplay’s’' life in N. H. S. was really too short, for she is an earnest and faithful student. Cicero and Caesar are two boon companions of Fvelyn s and she knows and undertakes them thoroughly. Debating is Evelyn’s hobby and it is difficult to outclass her.

Pennsylvania, not Egypt. Africa. He doesn’t mind it though, and has adopted the habits of a Northamptonite. Jimmy feels at home when he enters the chemistry laboratory and begins to break test tubes.
