(Pennsylvania Historical Commission) The Amptennian Foreword IMPRESSED with a desire to commemorate the “Walking Purchase” and early Indian life in our vicinity, we, the Staff of The 1926 Amptennian, have in this book hoped to renew the spirit of the first inhabitants of Northampton. We, encouraged by the spirit of the class of '26, have endeavored to publish a book, rich not only with scholarship, but also with personality; worthy not for the fiber alone, not for the finish alone, but for both the fiber and finish. With these things in mind we hope that we have advanced a few steps further in the way of improvement on the editions of former years. May you, our readers, as you turn from page to page of our annual, feel that our highest aims for a Bigger and Better Amptennian have been realized. 1 9 2 Unfailing in bringing out the best in youth; Unselfish in her efforts to advance our interests: Unassuming before others in the discharge of her duties; And unswerving in principles of right. 1 9 2 6 We. the class of 1926 of Northampton High School, respectfully dedicate this number of the 6 The Amptennian 1926 Amptennian Staff Arlene Reed Editor-in-Chief May Van Middlesworth.........................................Associate Editor Beatrice Hess Fourth Class Editor Louise Luckenbach Third Class Editor Louise Nagle Second Class Editor Bertha Laros.

In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. WE arc marking the passing of another school year with this issue of Thf. Amptennian. More especially it is to commemorate the deeds, the thoughts, the feelings, and the achievements of the class of 1926. We hope this publication will help to keep alive some of the fond hopes and ambitions which the members have learned to know and to cherish while they were students in Northampton High School. They are hereby presenting a partial record of the many school activities which have helped to make their years here full with the happiness of youth. We hope that we may help to keep the memory of the dreams and aspirations which they now glory in. as an ever priceless possession, ever encouraging, with the passing of time, the better and nobler things of life. The class of 1926 has aimed to put into permanent form in this volume the story of high school careers. Words and illustrations tend to show a creditable achievement of which they may be justly proud. The more permanent record, however, is not written on the pages of this volume. It is indelibly engraved upon the hearts and minds of the individual members of the class and all those with whom they were in daily contact during their years in school. For the present much of what has been thus written and recorded may be scarcely legible and even invisible. Yet. however striking and attractive this volume may appear, it can reveal only a very small part of the nobility of character which its authors have moulded for themselves during the years which they have here recorded. We. the friends of the class of 1926. hope that we may read the full history of the members of the class in future deeds which are prompted by right feeling and thinking, and in such accomplishments as originate from the dictates of a noble heart, and which reveal, with the passing years, the remaining chapters of a history which will be an important part of the annals of Northampton High School. 5 Alma Mater Honor to the Black and Orange!

English L - y-xX-xX-N The Amptennian 1926 Class History ON September 5. 1922. we became the papoose of freshmen of Northampton High School. Our first ambition was to gain recognition, just as an Indian babe, which was soon accomplished because we readily entered into the spirit of the school. In our second year we reached the Indian boyhood stage. Now we began to give a more accurate account of ourselves and take a greater part in the activities. We learned the tricks as the Indian boy did. and began to develop our talents. The third year we reached the stage of Indian youth. Now we gained leadership and overcame all obstacles without a murmur as the Indian was taught to do. With such a principle we were sure to succeed. We joined in the hunt. We brought back from the forest primeval a better understanding. The great movements of time since the Walking Purchase. the beauties, glories, and life principles of those who had gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds were revealed to us in our study of history. We studied the forces at work in the use of the bow and arrow in Physics. To continue and improve the mother tongue was our purpose in English class. To lay out the bounds of our territory more scientifically than the methods of the Walking Purchase. we took an interest in mathematics. To be conversant in other tongues, to communicate with each other more intelligently than our red and white ancestors, we studied French. To record more accurately all our business transactions than our forefathers did. we studied scientific bookkeeping. In our fourth year we became the Indian Chief. All other preparations lead up to our aim. to be the leader of others. Each accomplishment added another feather to our headdress, until at last we had many feathers, namely: Oratorical Contest; Honor Bright.” Senior play; members of ’26 in the Orchestra; Debating Team; Basketball; Football: Springtime ; Gypsy Rover ; Kathleen ; Miss Bob White and Camp Fire. The last and most important accomplishment, the pride of the Indian Chief s headdress, is the Amptennian. which represents the labors, joys, and troubles of our four years. It is a lasting monument of the class of ’26. We have now come to the time of commencement, which is not the end of our journey, but is really only the beginning of work and life.

Academic Lehighton s loss toas our gain.” Kenny joined our ranks last fall, coming from Lehigh -ton. In a short time we found that we had with us a diligent student and a full-of-pep classmate. Kenny joined in the fun of our class the very first day and soon we found that he was unduly interested in girls’ kerchiefs (?). He also showed a great interest in athletics, although not as a participator, but as a purser. But all these are minor interests of Kenny. for his greatest interest lies in the sciences. Therefore, in September. Kenny” expects to enter college to attain his Bachelor of Science degree. May success be with him. Activities: ''Honor Bright'’; Dramatics (Class Play); Professor Pcpp” (3).

After a long time. 1 hear voices I had often heard before. Yes —no—yes. it must be Marian Kline and Rose Goughcr. How did they come to be near me? What an awful, sickening smell. A voice saying, “She’s coming around. Thank God! She'll be all right, don’t you think so. Dr. Conover? Dr. Conover, not dear old Herbert, and who was that speaking? I racked my poor brain, and the answer came. ’’Dipper’’ Kunkle. What on earth had happened and where was I? I tried to move. but. Oh! the pain. I opened my eyes and vaguely saw Marian and Rose, all in white with ’’Dipper’’ and Herbert looking anxious. 1 thought. I tried to speak, but just then Harry Troxell. in spotless white, came in through the door, glanced at me. put his fingers on his lips and cautioned silence. I tried to speak (trust a woman for that) and he softly said. You are in my hospital. Frances. A plank fell on you. Some careless workmen dropped it from the roof of Kivert Molesky’s Clothing Store. You must rest now. and tomorrow you may talk more. I gladly obeyed him. and during that night, waking and sleeping. I seemed to hear two other nurses talking. Their voices were strangely familiar. Yes. it must be Esther Miller and Sadie Hower. In the morning. I felt better, and after breakfast, who should come into my room but Kenneth Boyer. I asked him how he came to be there, and with a slight nod toward Rose, he replied he at least had walked into Troxell’s Hospital. Then he explained that he was a scientist, interested in new germs, and incidentally battered and broken arms. Shortly afterward, a knock sounded at the door and Rose’s Come brought in Jack Lutton with his cunning little brief case. Hello. Fanny. he said. I read in Paul Ward’s Daily, that you figured in an accident. Won’t you let me attend to your case? It’s a clear case of negligence, and those men must be punished. I told him to go ahead and do his best and he promised to send in his private secretary. Verna Weaver, to get the particulars. That afternoon Verna came in. and brought with her. Beatrice Hess and Helen Heckman, whose hour off corresponded with Verna’s visit to me. They chatted merrily, until Beatrice had to go to her employer. Roland Fehnel. the great merchant. and Helen, to her stenographic work at Marsh’s Melody Shop, dealer in all kinds of musical instruments. After Verna had gone. I almost was thrown from my bed by a terrific knock at the radiator. Sadie sent for the repair man. and who should come in but William Anthony. The next day. I felt still better. My arm was in a sling, but Dr. Troxell assured me that a week in the hospital would be all I needed with plenty of rest for shattered nerves. Of course, my arm would be useless for a month at least. That noon I had visitors. Mary Kopenhaver and Grace Schneck. both teachers in the Allentown schools, came in to see me. W'e had a good time and they promised to phone to Margaret Yehl. who taught school in Northampton, to come down to see me. That evening. I wanted a reading lamp at my bedside. 1 asked Esther Miller to have one fixed. She sent in the electrician, and who do you think it was? Why. Arthur Rabert. We had a pleasant chat. He needed more cord, so he sent for his helper. George Snyder. I was glad to see him. too. They were getting well in their business. Arthur and Fred Reiter having set up an electric si North Seventh Street. N That evening. I called for Ward’s Daily, and looked at the date. June 24. just ten years after my graduation. I was beginning to be glad for my acci I had met so many of my old classmates. On the first page, in big headlines. The Amptennian “Great Quartet Returning from Europe. Will give radio program from WJZ on Saturday evening. June 27. 1936. 1 read on. and to my surprise and delight the quartet was composed of Mabel Rutman and Miriam Meighan. sopranos, and Frances Yehl and Elda Peters, altos, with Beatrice Schoeneberger at the piano. 1 resolved then and there to tune in on that. In the marriage licenses. 1 saw the following: Jennie Heiney. stenographer at Hill’s Hardware Company, to the private secretary of John Horn, the architectural engineer. Also. Marian Kuntz. hairdresser. Northampton, to an electrical engineer, in the New York People’s Electric Company. I also read that Arlene Reed, great mathematician at Columbia University, and “Timmy” Miller, professor at Princeton, were sailing for Europe, for a well-earned vacation. On the last page. 1 giggled over “Cutie” Miller’s cartoon, and right above that, in the athletic news. I read that Charles Moritz, the second “Red Grange.” was getting into shape for the coming football season. Robert Wedde. world-famous politician and lawyer, was a candidate for Senator of the United States. I certainly made up my mind to vote for him. although we always had disagreed on party affiliations in Northampton High School. By this time. 1 was very tired, so I sank down among the cushions and went to sleep. When 1 woke up the sun was shining brightly. I felt real well. After dinner. 1 had two more callers, decidedly tired callers, too. Celia Lasarow and Anna Mycio. for it was Friday -Bargain Day. I hadn’t seen them for a long time, but they explained that both were married and had families. Anna told me that Mamie Chepelak was taking care of her little Joe and of Celia’s little Celia. Both were so happy that I envied them. After they were gone. Dr. Troxell came in and assured me that I might go home the next day. 1 was glad for that. At two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, just as 1 was wishing for some one to take me home. Mary Weitknecht. Letha Gressler and Mabel Newhard burst into my room and offered to “flivver” me home. 1 was so glad they had no school that day. and after one or two fears of a possible future accident. I went with them and reached home safely. The following Tuesday. I walked up town. Needless to say. 1 took the opposite side of the street. I passed Foster Shaeffer’s Jewelry Shop, stopping for a moment to talk to Helen Dunlap and Grace Greenawald. his two stenographers. Being very hungry. I entered May Van Middlesworth s Cafe. It was filled with the elite of Allentown. I walked back into her little office and talked with her and to my surprise I found there. Gertrude Stofflet and Salena Young—both modernists in the art of skillful cooking. Mildred Worley was cashier and Lizzie Rothrock had charge of the buying of supplies. The following day 1 attended the Colonial. The big feature was entitled the “Show Off. featuring Katherine Meighan and Joe Stofflet. ably assisted by a delightful chorus of old friends, and their toes could twinkle, let me tell you. Such charm and grace I hadn’t seen for a long time. The chorus consisted of Ruth Rupp. Anna Mac Kleppinger and Elizabeth Moyer. After the show. I went in back of the curtain and met them all We had a jolly time, let me tell you. I asked them all to accompany me to William Solan’s Drug Store and enjoy his famous banana tplits.

Under full sail, with colors flying, they are preparing to take their places as Seniors and true leaders of the school. They have furnished material which helped form the backbone of the football, baseball. and basketball squads. Walter Kutzler. Albert Royer, and Otto Miller were on the varsity basketball team. During class game season the Juniors won all of the games, thus acquiring the loving cup. as they did in their Sophomore year. The girls just about make up the whole varsity team, and with Husky” Miller, captain; Liz Nagle; Dot” Dotter and Matz” Bachman on the team they lent a great athletic hand to their school. Furthermore, many of the Juniors are musically inclined. In the orchestra are Martha Bachman. Margaret Miller. Howard Bath. Albert Christman. Frederick Fogel. Edgar Kline. Roger Laub. Norman Rice. Albert Royer, and Webster Schneck. On the varsity debating team are Elizabeth Nagle. Lovenia Miller and I-ouise Luckenbach. The girls have organized a Girl Reserve Club, known as the Jo-Bos (meaning Jolly Boosters) and are planning a week’s camping trip. Many of the boys are members of the Hi-Y and Radio Clubs. They have their representatives in the S. B. A. and in the Glee Clubs. Louise Luckenbach. 'll 1927 Class Roll Bachman, Martha Bath. Howard Beers. Vii.rert Paul Elizabeth Anna n.

This fact has not made us an inactive class, as we have contributed many members to such organizations as the S. B. A., the Radio Club. Debating Club, and to the High School Happenings staff. In basketball. Mary Gougher. Carrie Roth. Irene Kline, and Marie Chernansky did notable work on the girls team, while Donald Newhard. Lewis Flom. and Alfred Wolf displayed remarkable ability on the boys’ team. Much musical talent has been shown by the many members who play in the orchestra. The class has shown splendid oratorical ability, being represented by Marie Chernansky. Bessie Hoffman. Margaret Kleppinger. and Charles Reichard. Then. too. our class was the only one which had the honor of debating an Allentown team. A large number participated in the play, Miss Bob White. 1928 Class Roll Beil. Anna Bii.hkimkr. Kenneth Boyer.

With the green material Mr. Keat had to work with, he produced a team that always went down fighting, every inch of the way. Then taking into consideration the schedule which was a very hard one. we can easily see that all the schools that Northampton played against had much more experience. The squad will be rather hard-hit by graduation, but with the available material left, a far better experienced team may be assured. We certainly hope that the 1926 season will see many victories for the Black and Orange team. The letter men were as follows: M. Miller and Stofflet. ends; Lutton and Wolfgang, tackles; Micio and Sieger, guards; O’Loughlin. center; Reiter and Horn, quarterbacks; O. Miller and Moritz, halfbacks; Kunkle. fullback. The Amptennian The Basketball Season NORTHAMPTON HIGH seemed to play in hard luck, for more than one game was lost by a one-point margin. Our boys always started with a bang, but usually ended on the short end. Although the team didn't burn up the league, they always gave their rivals a run for honors. The letter men of the team are: Morris ( Tim”) Miller, one of the fastest forwards ever developed at Northampton High. Tim was high scorer on our team, and as many rival guards know, he was hard to follow. We certainly hope you make good. Timmie. I 1 9 2 (i 'i Albert ( Kid ) Royer, fast on the floor and a good shot, seems to best characterize this heady forward. Royer was hurt toward the close of the season and was forced out of the game, but we certainly look forward to his return in 1927. Walter ( Mope ) Kutzler. the lanky center, certainly played a good game for the Black and Orange five. Kutzler could play the floor and also guard a man (too good). One of Mope’s ambitions was to stay in a whole game and we hope we will see him have his ambition come true in the 1927 season. Jack ( Bruiser ) Lutton. our husky captain and guard, always played a game. Jack certainly could hang on to a man. and he also was adept at floor. More than once did Bruiser's perfect shooting of long shots thrill Jack will graduate and his position will be hard to fill, but we hope he will in college sports. The Amptennian Foster ( Frobisher”) Schaeffer, another lanky player, always had enough fighting spirit to win any game. Frobisher played his man close and always was in the scrim mage. We will also lose Foster by graduation. Here’s good luck to you. big boy. Otto Miller was one of the Black and Orange’s liveliest forwards. Always being in on every play won for Otto the admiration of all. We can expect great playing from him in 1927. Harry ( Legs ) Troxell. tallest man in high school and a good center, surely deserves the coveted letter. Harry got tired of cheerleading, so he played basketball in his Senior year and that he was a success is unquestionable. We all expect to see Troxell play college basketball. Joe Stofflet. a newcomer in basketball, certainly did develop in one season. Joe played guard and played a steady defensive game. A little more experience in the court game, then we are sure you’ll make good. Joe. Donald ( Donkey ) Newhard. an all-round good player, was an asset to the squad; as a utility man Donkey” was not excelled. Donald has two more years for varsity playing and he is bound to make good. Alfred Wolf, a Sophomore guard with lots of chance for development, was an able substitute on the squad. Wolfie. with two more years of basketball ahead of you. we expect to see you star. The Am ptennian 2 6 zi I Oi (Cm IrJ •) Yx K I Personnel of the “Konkrete Six ELIZABETH NAGLE. ‘27 (forward), in her first year of basketball, proved successful after the “try-try-again” motto. By producing such good results, she became our highest scorer. Here’s hoping that “Liz” will return next year in the field of athletics and help to show that Miss Berg’s “basketeers will be undefeated in the 1926-27 term. Verna Dotter. ’27 (forward) is also a Junior representative of the team. After serving as “sub for two years, she became a member of the regular squad. Although this third-year lassie has shown her ability as a forward, she has also become a good guard (using her in case of emergency). We hope to sec her back on the floor next year. Feme Schaeffer. '28 (center) played forward in the beginning of the term, but proved herself capable of handling the position of center. With the assistance of her colleague she keeps careful vigilance over the ball in the center of the floor. She will be back next year to do her best. Martha Bachman. ’27 (side center) demonstrated her ability as an athlete by becoming a member of the “Cement Six.” She is only a small thing, but she lives up to the saying that “good things come in small packages. Not a cleaner player can be always possesses that fighting spirit so essential for a victory. We hope that will again appear on the team. Mary Gougher. 28 (guard) measured up to the other members of the team, fight-to-the-finish” girl, is the kind we need to make the game real. Luck a to Mary. 2 6 AaAA7 :AAA'At The Amptennian 1 -ovenia Miller. ’27 (guard), our plucky captain, nicknamed Husky, wan put on the varsity while a Freshman. Now. wouldn’t that make you tip your hat to her? Formerly, her position was center, and she fulfilled this place to the best of her ability. Then, the latter part of this year, she played guard. Mary and Lovenia formed a clever partnership in passing the ball. Husky certainly has the fighting spirit! So. let’s drink to her health, wishing her all the luck we can spare. Chernansky. Roth and Kline as reserves have a fine chance to reach a position on the varsity. Keep on. girls, your chance is yet to come! We take this opportunity in thanking Miss Berg for her splendid coaching during the 1925-26 basketball season. We hope to see her return. A summary of the games played follows: Teams Where Played Opp. N. H S.

Out of these fourteen a formidable baseball team has been built which at the time that this article goes to press, has won five out of seven starts. This in itself is explanatory as to the team s merits and we are sure that the season will be finished highly successful. The roster of the team is as follows: Pitchers. Moritz. Termena and Susko: catchers. Horn and Micio; first base. Bath; second base. Moore and Miller; third base. Stofflet (captain); outfielders. Molesky. Newhard. Hill. Brader and Hutton. Victories for Northampton and the scores against independent and Interscholastic League teams are: 2 6 Nazareth Hall. 0; Whitehall High. 5; Coplay High, 2; Northampton. 20 Northampton. 7 Northampton. 4 Palmerton High. 4; Catasauqua High. 3; Northampton. 5 Northampton. 4 Although the squad will lose seven men by graduation, there will be a fine nuclei which a championship team can be built for the 1927 season. We are sure that and Orange team will continue in its conquest and we hope to see them burn up t with their victories in 1927. 6 “N” Varsity Club b DURING the school term, a club was formed by possessors of a letter from some major sport, with the idea for the promotion and betterment of school sports. Following the example of many colleges such an organization was created, this club being one of the most exclusive in High School. Only persons, having a varsity ”N are eligible. The officers elected were Joseph Stofflet as president and Harry Troxell as secretary. The membership is as follows: Joseph Stofflet Harry Troxell Ralph F. Smith Donald B. Keat President Secretary Manager Coach Jack Lutton Wilmer Kunkle Morris Miller Edward Sieger Otto Miller Andrew Micio Martin O’Laughlin Albert Royer Charles Moritz Foster Schaeffer m Fred Reiter Alfred Wolf John Horn M 2 Badge Club 2 THE membership of this club is composed of all those who have passed any of the three standard tests set by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. The tests are national in scope and thus afford the boys a chance to see how they compare from the standpoint of physical culture with others in the United States. The following were contestants for the first Badge Test: Elwood Brader. ’28 Raymond Deibert. ’28 Merlon Deveraux. '28 George Geasets.

Faculty Adviser THE School Betterment Association, better known as the S. B. A., is an organization whose work is. as the name signifies, to better our school. Its members are chosen by the faculty adviser, assisted by the old president and his cabinet, which consists of the Vice-President. Secretary, and Treasurer. One student is chosen to represent every ten boys and one for every ten girls in each separate class. This organization takes up and discusses matters and problems pertaining to the betterment of the school. The one that it has most suitably solved was that of traffic in the halls. During the five minutes that is given for the change of classes students are stationed at various parts of the hall with the duty of directing the traffic. The officers wish to take this pleasant opportunity to thank the traffic officers, faculty, and student body for the support which they have so gratefully given in carrying out our work. The wish and hope are expressed that they will continue to give their support to ming officers. The Amptennian Hi-Y Club R. F. Smith. Faculty Adviser THF Northampton Hi-Y Club was organized through the efforts of J. H. Dalrymple during the latter part of the 1924-25 term. A constitution was drawn up and adopted on Friday. March 16. 1925. However. Friday, the 13th. proved no hoodoo date, for the club is at present the largest and wealthiest in the High School. During the first year the club was not able to accomplish much, due to the lack of time. The banquet at the end of the year, nevertheless, was enjoyed by all. At the beginning of the 1925-26 term the club was reorganized with Julian Kuntz as president. Meetings were held every two weeks. At these meetings various speakers were heard. They included: Supt. Clyde S. Frankenfield. Rev. A. S. Deibert. Rev. H. F. Sieger. Prof. W. C. Kutz and Rev. P. B. Boyer On the three days after Thanksgiving Julian Kuntz and Willard Hahn attended the older Boys’ Conference at Harrisburg. They brought back many new and helpful ideas. Wednesday afternoon. March 31st. an open meeting was held in the High School Auditorium, at which Attorney E. C. Nagle spoke on the subject. “The Trial of from a legal standpoint. 6 Wah-Tah-Haw Camp Fire Girls LAST September when N. H. S. opened its doors to admit the pupils to another year of learning it also reopened its doors to admit the Wah-Tah-Haw Camp Fire Girls. Since the summer of 1925 the number had diminished to thirteen members, three girls being unable to be with us. Then three other girls joined the ranks and all have proved to be faithful and earnest workers. On Christmas morning, the girls sang carols and presented baskets of food to needy families. One morning in March the girls hiked to the Howertown Creamery, where they saw the process the milk went through from the time it was brought to the creamery to the time it was taken away in bottles. In everything the girls have undertaken they have been given fine patronage, for which they thank every one who helped toward making everything a success. Miss Lydia Martin proved a worthy and efficient guardian, teaching the girls to put their heart and soul into their work. Her efforts are greatly appreciated and much good has been derived from them. Fire Sisters, as this is our last year to work and pull together, may happiness and to every one of you when you are separated. ; (l |N o K l N i Af+v The Amptennian 6 P7I T The Girl Reserves HE Girl Reserves, a newly organized club among the High School activities, has developed rapidly in observing the purpose of doing good unto others and to achieve for themselves a perfect body, a keen mind, and a Christlike spirit. 6 It is an organization of the Junior girls which has assumed the name of the Jo-Bo'’ club—that is. the abbreviation for ‘Jolly Boosters.” The colors signifying this organization are gray and blue. The organization advisers are the Misses Seidel and Weed; the officers: President. Louise Luckenbach; secretary. Martha Bachman; treasurer. Lovenia Miller; scribes. Elizabeth Nagle and Ruth Farber. Evening meetings were spent in entertainment of the kiddies, hikes, sewing for the local hospital, and other regular business. The members have been busily engaged in selling candy, and the selling of the movies, so as to earn enough money for a delightful camping trip. T Senior Oratorical Contest HE twenty-first annual senior oratorical contest of the Northampton High School was held in the auditorium on February 23, 1926. The contest proved a success and was largely attended. There were eight speakers, their names and subjects being as follows: Harry Troxell. The Price of Freedom ; Arlene Reed. “An Unfinished Story ’; George Miller. Our Golden Rule Policy ; Frances Eichler. “In the Palace of the King”; Robert Weddc. The New American Principle ; Elda Peters. The Fatherland ; Jack Lutton. Conquest of Crime ; Frances Yehl. ’The Death Disc. Music was furnished by the school orchestra. First prize for girls of $10 was donated by the Alumni Association and won by Frances Yehl; second prize for girls of $5. donated by E. J. Royer, and won by Arlene Reed; first prize for boys of $10. donated by the Alumni Association, and won by George Miller; second prize for boys of $5. donated by Hon. H. A.

Philo spirit at once began moving, especially in its drive for new members. Nine “live wires” were admitted as members this year. During the year various debates were held, among these being interclass debates, our Sophomore debate at Allentown High School and last but not least our triangular debate. The first of these being our interclass debates proved to be victories to the Seniors. The debate held at Allentown on December IOth again showed that our Sophomore debaters could argue, even though they lost. The triangular debate was held between the high schools of Pen Argyl. Nazareth and Northampton on Friday. April 23rd. The affirmative team debated the Nazareth negative team at home, while our negative team debated the Pen Argyl affirmative at Pen Argyl. Our negative team won a victory at Pen Argyl. while our affirmative team was defeated by Nazareth. ilos realize that it was only through the persistent efforts of Mr. Kutz that their standard achieved was maintained. The Marconi Radio Club THE Radio Club was organized in November. 1924. by the present Senior Class as a division of the physics department, which was at that time under the supervision of Prof. F. A. Christman. The purpose of the club was to afford the members a better opportunity along the lines of specialization and research in the radio field. The Research Committee, which often was a joint committee of the several committees, doubtless did the most constructive part of the work. This committee under the direction of the president selected three radio sets from which a Fada Neutrodyne was decided upon. The set was demonstrated in the auditorium on March 4th. when President Coolidge broadcasted his inaugural address from Washington. D. C. The Radio Club owes its success to the able instructions of Prof. I. L. Sheaffer. who is at the head of the Science Department. It was under his directions that the set was rebuilt, thus giving the school one of the most efficient sets in the Lehigh Valley. The AmPTENNIAN - ZrX y_.-l 9 Senior-Junior Glee Club 9 - -V-VrX The Amptennian i 1 . 1 9 Boys’ Glee Club 2 6 The Glee Clubs ( THAT “Music hath charms” is evinced by the work of the three Glee Clubs of which Northampton High School boasts. There are two girls’ Glee Clubs, namely: The Senior and Junior Girls’ Glee Club and the Sophomore and Freshman Girls Glee Club. The Boys’ Glee Club is composed of members selected from all four classes. They all are under the able supervision of the music supervisor. Miss Cromis. The work of these organizations is extensive to a degree. They provide entertainment in programs such as chapel programs and holiday programs. They also render selections in a general musicale. given in the spring, which also includes the Music Memory Contest. In this contest, the selections, for most part rendered by local talent, are to be identified and properly annotated by the participants. Members selected from the Glee Clubs constituted the soloists of the musical comedy. “Miss Bob White.” given in the fall of the 1925-26 school term. The aim of these organizations has been worthy and the work effective. We wish that organizations of this type continue to function in schools, for they widespread interest now being taken in school music. PERSONNEL OF ORCHESTRA Special Solo ions—Howard Hath.

It is an honor to be able to summon so many musicians from the student body of a school of its size. It is commendable not only to have so many efficient members, but also to contain such a variety of instruments. The instruments of the orchestra are: Piano, violin, banjo, flute, clarinet, saxaphonc, cornet and the percussion instruments. The orchestra has a rehearsal every Thursday, at which time it is under the leadership of its conductor. Mr. Newhard. Many opportunities are afforded the orchestra for displaying its talents. It plays in chapel, at school entertainments, and at many of the evening entertainments held in the High School. Its big event of the year is the Orchestra Concert given in the spring. In this concert, in addition to pieces played ensemble, there are also several solo numbers, generally played by senior members. May the orchestra, having progressed greatly thus far. continue to be sustained by the incoming members of the school, and may it increase in number and efficiency with the passing of the years.

Wagner N The Amptennian AFTER the Press Club was organized in 1915. the Senior Class always edited the last or June issue of the paper. In this way the Black, and Orange and Amptennian staffs worked together. This is the first year that the staffs have worked individually. Every year various improvements have been made. The class of 1925 made a big improvement last year by changing the entire style of the book. The staff this year had to live up to the standards set by the class of 1925 and nevertheless had to make improvements as the other staff made. The one big improvement we have made is that we built around a central theme which is the custom of most of the college and high school annuals. In choosing a theme we could find nothing which we thought would be more appropriate than the Indian theme. We chose this because of the importance of the Indian life in this vicinity. We hope that in so doing we have impressed our readers with a feeling of deeper for our early inhabitants and forefathers. y- Z- Z-X The Amptennian ( El The Press Club THE year of 1926. or the eleventh anniversary of our school publication, was a year of many changes. When the Press Club first organized in 1915 they published a monthly magazine under the name of La Perle. The club continued under this plan, until in 1922. when they changed the title to The Black, and Orange. But the big improvement was made this last year when instead of publishing a monthly the club decided through the kindness of E. J. Royer to publish the high school activities in The Cement Neus every two weeks. This change was made upon the advice of eminent educators and reports of other schools using the same plan. By this new method we feel that our news comes in more homes than it did otherwise, thus bringing the parents and townfolks in closer connection with our doings. Another change made was that the staff for the last few years has been chosen by the faculty adviser and the outgoing staff rather than by the school. This way the pupils are chosen for their ability rather than popularity. 9 2 ( 1 N Manual Training THE. Northampton High School has a fine Manual Training room and a very capable instructor. When the department was started only small articles were made, but lately the articles have grown to enormous sizes from small taborets to library tables, produced by the wood workers, and floor lamps and beautiful stands turned out by the lathe workers. Third and fourth year pupils work on the lathe. In late years the interest has declined in this department. We hope that the boys of the coming classes will take a greater interest in wood turning. A new department has been started and that is the inlaying work. The wood is a finished product of the factory and is inlaid in the finished piece of furniture giving it a nice border. 9 2 a 1 9 6 The Amptennian Domestic Science Department THIS year has been a very interesting one in the history of the cooking department. Miss Seidel had planned a wonderful schedule for us. First, we took up the study of materials and learned a great deal about the source, making, and finished products of materials. Later, in connection with this study, we took a trip to the silk mill, which proved very interesting. Next we took up the study of meat and both Freshmen and Sophomore girls sent meat essays to the National Live Stock and Meat Board which annually conducts a contest for the best essay on meat. To get material for these essays we took a trip to the Arbogast Bastian packing house in Allentown. The trip proved to be delightful and interesting. Two more similar trips were taken by the Sophomores. Our cafeteria was a great success this year. Luncheons were served during January and February every Tuesday and Thursday. The aim of the girls was to prepare everything as deliciously and attractively as possible and we have received numerous comments upon the good food which was served. A record of over a hundred students and teachers was established this year at the luncheons. 1 9 At last, we were both glad and sorry to sec this period in our Domestic Science work end. Our next line of work was the making of hats and dresses which are displayed at the fashion show, which is our last step for this year. 2 6 We are planning for the party which is to be given our mothers. This party is an annual affair in the Home Economics class and has always proved successful. The Freshmen and the Seventh and Eighth graders must not be neglected, for they have progressed greatly in cooking and sewing and will later suitably take our places in the conducting of luncheons, fashion shows, parties, etc. The Sophomore girls take this opportunity as they leave the Home Economics class to heartily thank Miss Seidel, their supervisor, for the splendid guidance and training she has given them and wish her great success in her new quarters which she will some day assume in the Junior High School. The Amptennian ..Lr s.— Art Department THREE years ago a new subject was introduced into the High School curriculum, thus, bringing a new member to the faculty. This is. however, not for the High School alone, but it is prevailing in all the grades of the local public schocls. The new subject is art” and the new faculty member is Miss Myers. She has been very successful in her work and we hope that she will continue it as long as she is able. One day in the spring of each year is set aside as Patrons' Day. It is on this day that the parents of the pupils visit the various schocls to see the art exhibition. Each room is decorated in its best array for the onlookers. It is real fun fer every one to see the stick men of the primer grades in all sorts of positions and then to sec the beautiful scenes and cartoons of the grammar grades including the High School. Northampton Branch, Red Cross Circle IN order that the class of 1926 and their many relatives and friends who will read these pages, may have a true conception of the American Red Cross, we gave the following interpretation of the ideals and high purpose of this national and international organization. 1 9 o In its natural aspects, the American Red Cross has one outstanding purpose service to humanity in accordance with the International Treaty of Geneva signed in 1864 and its own charter from Congress of the United States in 1905. The American Red Cross, in its service program, knows neither race, nor color, nor creed. It draws its support from no single class, but is truly an organization for the people, by the people, and of the people. I A I I 9 o Service to humanity from the health administration standpoint, in this enlightened day. does not merely include bedside care of the sick, but also the promotion of health and prevention of illness. There are three factors which affect the health of the individual, the family, the community. and the nation. These three factors are heredity, environment, and good health habits. Dr. Rosenau. in Preventive Medicine. asserts that germs lead a hand to mouth existence and scientific study has proven the truth of the statement, but in spite of this, children and adults, too. will continue to partake of food with unwashed hands and often the home utterly lacks the facilities for cleanliness. Until the individual citizen is properly informed as to his duty and privilege in contributing to the health and the resultant happiness of his immediate group and the community. and the community recognizes its responsibility in providing a healthful environment fer all of its citizens health service to humanity in that community has not proved orthampton Branch of the American Red Cross is. therefore, not serving humanity service is limited because of the lack of personnel. It must be apparent that r bedside nursing calls in a community of 10,000 people, carry on a health program The Amptennian in the schools which include a population of 1.800 pupils, to conduct health conferences for babies and pre-school children and make social investigations requested by outside agencies, one nurse is but a “drop in the bucket.' During the year, because of the policy of the Northampton Branch in putting the bedside nursing program first, the health work in the schools has had to be woefully neglected. The statistics of the physical inspection at the beginning of the school year show that 1.735 pupils were inspected. 1.174 of whom were discovered to have physical defects all of them correctible. Healthy and happy children are a community's most valuable asset. Dr. John Dewey, a distinguished American educator, philosopher and psychologist, wrote: “What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all its children. We believe that this community has taken a constructive step forward in the advancement of child health, but let us keep on stepping until health becomes a reality for every child and indeed every citizen in this community. Luther Burbank once said: “If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weeds.” This is a sad commentary. indeed, on our lack of foresight. We are thankful that today, children are receiving a new valuation we are learning to put first things first. To the class of 1926. we quote the lines of David Starr Jordan, an American educator, naturalist and advocate of world peace, in the hope that it may help them to choose their field of work wisely. He says. “There is nothing in all the world so important as children, nothing so interesting. If ever you wish to go in for philanthropy, if ever you wish to be of real use in the world, do something for children. If ever you yearn to be wise, study children. If the great army of philanthropists ever exterminate sin and pestilence, ever work out our race salvation, it will be because a little child has led. 1 9 2 6 Elizabeth DeLong Music Memory and Appreciation Contest The following program was rendered at the Music and Appreciation Contest in which the High School Glee Clubs took a prominent part: PART I—CONTEST The following musicians rendered selections during the contest: Mrs. Paul Lentz.

Rogers Producing Company. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity. The cast includes: Lord Bashful, son of the Duke of High Title, in love with Phyllis Wallace Yaremko Friend Boh. the Quaker farmer..............................................Jack Lutton Phyllis, his daughter, in love with Jack Hearty Mabel Rutman Miss Live-in-the-Past Autumn, a colonial dame looking and waiting May Van Middlesworth Duke of High Titles, an English peer with ancestors Foster Schaffer Miss Boh White.” Claire Livingston, in love with Tre Billion Margaret Miller Artie Tre Billion.........................................................Harry Troxell Billy Van Million Myles Miller Maggie, the maid of the household......................................

Walter Hawk Jack Hearty, a sailor boy............................................... Albert Royer Artie Tre Billion and Billy Van Million, millionaires, having lost a freak election bet. are forced to become tramps for a period of two months, finally hiring out as farmhands, at the Quaker home of Friend Rodd. Claire Livingston, wealthy society woman, arrives at the Rodd home, where she became aware of the fact, through Phyllis, daughter of Friend Rodd. that her lover. Artie Tre Billion, was there. She then hired out as a milkmaid. Miss Livingston took as her name. Bob White. She was deeply loved by all the farm hands, especially by Artie, who remarked that she resembled Claire Livingston. Jack Hearty, a sailor boy. was also a frequent caller at Rodd’s home, for he loved Phyllis, but Friend Rodd deemed Lord Bashful to be the worthy lover. One fine, calm evening. Friend Rodd was to entertain, and a host of friends were present. The night brought confusions as well as clearances, for police were present as well. But matters were cleared, leaving Phyllis with Jack, and Bob White with Artie Tre Billion, which constituted the two main romances. m The Amptennian School Calendar 1925-26 Sept.

When we arrived we were told to stay outside, until we were given the signal to enter. When we came inside the building we were given slips and then the wild time began looking for our partners. When we had our partners we marched into the auditorium and then we were made to know that we were still very green and had much to learn until we became Seniors. During our Sophomore year we served a St. Patrick’s dinner to the school directors. Everything was arranged to conform with the spirit of St. Patrick. We cannot boast of many parties or social gatherings, but those who attended Myles Miller's or Mary Weitknecht’s party surely must have enjoyed themselves, because they talked of nothing but the party for weeks after. 1 9 2 6 New Faculty Members 0 DURING our four years at N. H. S. we became acquainted with many new members on our teaching staff. Many of them left after one year of teaching and others are still with us. One. who was with us until we became Seniors, and then left us. was Miss Caroline Stem. Owing to the death of her father. Miss Stem stopped teaching. She has since been married and the Seniors wish her a happy married life. Miss Mary Woodring took the place of Miss Stem and came to us well recommended. After a few weeks she seemed to fit in with the rest of the teachers. We were all sorry when we heard that Miss Woodring had decided to leave us. We have been successful in securing Miss Grace Otto to fill the vacancy. We hope that we are successful in keeping her with us until June and many other terms to come. In the Commercial Department we lost Miss Elsie Huber. She left in Feb accept a position in the Congressional Library at Washington. D. C. We to have her leave us. but we became reconciled when Miss Bernice Nichols Commercial teacher. We take this means of welcoming you. Miss Nichols.

Who I Amptennian A The Junior High School Project T a special election on March 6. 1926. the taxpayers of Northampton favored the Junior High School Bond issue of $300,000 by a 2-to-l vote. This was most encouraging to those keenly interested in the progress of our schools. The American people have always taken a great interest in education, for they well know that this progressive nation with a splendid type of democratic government depends in a large measure upon an enlightened people. Our American school system needs revision and we are facing one of the greatest changes in the History of Education of all time. In this epoch-making history of our educational progress we have the Junior High School. The curriculum of this organization is to be so fitted as to bridge the gap between the eighth grade and first year of high school. The courses are to introduce to the boys and girls the relative values of their work in senior high school. Vocational guidance will be instituted. This new equipment will give Northampton a still higher place in the realms of educational progress. We promise faithful service to the taxpayers for their splendid endorsement. A modern building is in course of construction and by September of 1927 we look forward to the opening of this new structure to relieve the congested conditions of our schools. 1 9 o 6 (i Members Board of Education Eugene G.
