'-V7-.The Amptennian A Message From Your Superintendent We live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths. 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
