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.

e Amptennian KENNETH IRA BOYER •‘Kenny Northampton. Pa. 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).

Commercial Oh. little girl with eyes of brown. And smiles that fairly light the town. Here is a brown-haired, brown-eyed lass, always ready to help some one in need. She chose the Commercial Course to become somebody’s “stenog. Two good companions of Mamie’s are shorthand and typewriting. She sure is a regular wizard when it comes to shorthand. Mamie has other companions, but they are quite different from the ones named above. Mamie certainly tries to cheer up every one she meets. The whole class joins in wishing her the best of luck. ACTIVITIES: Kathleen ; Miss Bob White.” Clubs: Science Club; Glee Club (1. 2). HERBERT SPENCER CONOVER Conover Northampton. Pa. Academic To lice as gently as he can To be no matter where —a man” Herbert—the boy with the curly black hair—entered our class as a rather quiet boy. but he soon lost reputation and now he is a typical mischievous schc boy. although he tried to pull the wool over our eyes playing the part of a minister in our class play. Herb is an active member of both the. Hi-Y Clubs. But maybe his activity is du that he can sleep longer than the rest of us so near to the school. Success be yours. Her!
