Learning, we, the class of 1928, have built our castle upon the rock of a firm education. Its turrets glisten in the sun with promise of gain, its battlements flaunt defiance at worldly destruction, and from it leads a road paved with predictions of success. As our gallant knight rides forth on his charger filled with the joy of his quest, confidence shines from his well-polished armor, and the lance, given to him at the end of his apprenticeship, stretches in invincible power from its rest. What a glorious figure he is, well fitted to match his might against the world, a worthy representative of honest endeavor. To him we pay homage, and. as we strive to arm ourselves in the metal wrought from intense training, may his image be ever present to guide and encourage us. Now as we are about to go forth, we gather together the memories of days at Northampton and present this our final record The Amptennian of nineteen hundred twenty-eight.

The goal of your high school training was set along a line of procedure which had primarily this end in view. The various achievements you have recorded in this volume give us ample proof of your ability to attain those external ends and master many of those preordained habits and attitudes which the tradition of your alma mater and the prevailing systems of thinking have demanded of you. But such ends and procedures can never be permanently satisfactory, especially to young and growing minds. The real goal for education is to continue and enrich the life process by better thought and better actions. Education is in life and for life. Continued growing is the essence and end of it. Only thus can it fit a growing world. Changes in affairs demand loudly for changes in thought and action. The habits of thinking you may have acquired, the standards you have learned to recognize may all be criticised and subjected to change as the resulting facts of life demand it. This volume itself, while it may now set forth noteworthy standards of achievement for your class, will, in a short time, seem to many of you futilely inadequate to express the real thought, life, feeling, and accomplishments of the class of 1928. I wish I might set for you a new goal as embodied in that type of person who is able and disposed to think and decide for himself, to think freely without the warp of prejudice, decide unselfishly, preferring the social good to any merely private good or gain. Such a goal places the value upon individual personality. Whatever your high school training may have done for you should be reflected in the individual personalities you will represent in the rapidly changing conceptions of life which you will experience within the coming years. We hope we may follow you through in your progress with a firm and conscious assurance that we will see many of you fulfill the richness of the promise of life which we now see in store for you.

Donald Haff { 16}- Northampton High School 55? A SiV: The I 928 Amptennian Class MStorp As class historian I was certainly in a quandary. Fruitless searchings had failed to unearth any records of past years, and I began to doubt whether the class of '28 had really existed in the dim long ago. The year ’27 was a picture whose colors had run together into a vague design; '26 was a recollection; but '25 was inconceivable, a veritable nothingness. Frantically I sifted the pile of statistics which had accumulated after a duration of four years, but all passed through the meshes to land in an unintelligible mound on the farther side. With the hope of drowning my cares in forgetfulness. 1 went to the movies and sank exhausted upon one of the cushioned seats. I iVi The organ droned monotonously, and. as I watched the screen, the characters upon it disappeared. A soft glow, however, lighted its taut surface and shadowy figures began to form. Little by little these began to assume indistinct shapes, and then, as if the operator in the little room above had suddenly focused his projector, a picture of the Alma Mater snapped into view. Ascending the steps which led to its grey stone entrance was a body of decidedly nervous-looking children. Each apparently wanted to be the last to enter, but the indecision was terminated by the appearance of none other than our principal. He herded them all through the doors just as the picture faded away. Quickly as the first image disappeared another took its place. In a classroom were seated the same newcomers busily engaged. The newness of the situation, as well as interest and ambition, was written on every face. I could recognize some of my classmates, although they were quite diminished in size. Strange to say, a miniature Donald Newhard and a pious Charles Reichard were both paying marked attention to lessons, while Carrie Roth sat like a deaf mute. Knee breeches were the predominating style among the boys and quite a few unbobbed heads were to be found among the girls. Again the scene shifted and a second time the exterior of the high school appeared. It may have been imagination, but the building seemed a trifle more grey than it had the preceding time. Undoubtedly cement dust had been at work for a long period. Idling groups sauntered up to the entrance and among them I found many countenances which had graced the last picture. What a difference there was. They now possessed the self-assurance and swagger of sophomores, timidity having been replaced by desire for revenge. I could even hear their voices as they chaffed the greenies who hovered about on the outside. These voices were absolutely uncontrollable. One starting with a man-size note would suddenly shoot up to a tiny squeek and end in a whisper. A boy soprano was no longer a member of the class. The front of the high school remained on the screen for fully five minutes and I could not imagine the cause. Then the kind-heartedness of the photographer was shown by the appearance of H. W. N. Hawk, late, as usual, for whom he had waited. The reappearance of the classroom revealed a busy group, their ardor not at all dampened by the absence { «7 5$ I I I 1 I 1 I 1 t 2 1 I iNorthampton High School Ss jSSB-. dzz . . I he 1928 Amptennian S S S sSJ:’, of a few. Before the fadeout came one word was spelled across the whole scene, that being “activity. This word remained while a new class took its place beneath it. There were the same familiar faces but plainly showing another year’s development. Now occurred some rapid-fire changes. First came a view of the football field upon which the class of '28 was well represented: following appeared the basketball court, where swift-footed junior boys were learning the game: the stage of the auditorium was filled with orators and debaters from the third year class: glances into different classrooms revealed organizations in which juniors were prominent members: and finally the orchestra, aided by the musical talent of the same class, hovered for an instant on the sheet. The scene again shifted, and it was with deep regret that I saw it do so, for 1 knew the next picture would show our parting days at old Northampton High. Ah! how different were these all-important seniors to the diminutive youngsters of four years ago! Activity still stirred the class of ’28. Mensinger followed Hawk as president. The picture became faster and faster, and all seemed hurried as the actors were going about busily Haff, editing the Concrete Tablet and Amptennian; Flom, New-hard, and Wolf, starring in athletics; Laub and Newhard, conducting the orchestra in assembly, and seniors holding prominent offices in all organizations. Then came “Captain Applejack,” the class play, with all its boisterous, never-to-be-forgotten pirates. The scene suddenly became quiet. Commencement had come with caps and gowns, orations, flowers, diplomas. The class of '28 had for the last time gone to assembly as students of Northampton. There would be for them no more hours in green-walled classrooms, for them no more plaudits for victories won on field or court, no more of the joy of giving the heart, strength and mind’s best for Northampton. The throng moved down the steps -became blurred, faded and a knight flashed upon the screen, glowing with youth and the ardor of the quest. His armor sparkled in the sun and his eyes shone with joy of living and the deep gladness of being ready to serve—The Spirit of '28. Darkness came. Slowly 1 arose from the cushioned seat and half in a trance found my way down the long dim aisle of the theatre.

KENNETH BILHEIMER Puggy Harp First in eats, first in fun. first in the hearts of the fairer ones. Upon a glance at this picture you can verify the above statement. Puftt?y never lost sleep over lessons, but where sports were concerned he was an enthusiastic worker. He was a member of the football squad and during the basketball season served as official timekeeper. Often he was seen being monopolized in the Commercial room. He is one of the best bluffers the Senior Class has and makes use of this quality in some of his studies. He is one of Brinkey’s faithful customers. Taking into account his virtues, we are sure he will succeed in life and some day he may be the president of a large corporation. Best of luck. Harp. WILLARD P.

Phil.” you'll have plenty of clients, for there are many so-called dumb ones around. One of Phil’s best traits is courteousness, something which he acquired to a great extent from having stood behind a counter for a couple of hours each night after school. Phil” didn't partake in athletics, but he was boys’ student manager, an office which he filled capably. We might add that Phil’s best liked form of exercise is walking, and there was never a hill that was too steep for him to climb. May sunshiny days be your lot in the future. Phil.

Colie has proved to us that she is a good student and a hard worker. As a member of the Girl Reserves, she did her share for the organization. She is also one of the girls who tried and proved her skill in manual training. Her future work is to be nursing. Certainly with her courage, diligence, and always-ready smile.

MERLON DEVERAUX ’Dev” When “Dev” entered our high school four years ago he was a small, bashful, young man. But as the year ensued he forgot some of his bashfulness and also decided to grow. This past year. “Dev” proved his athletic ability on the football squad and also on the varsity basketball squad, being a member of both. Dev is a studious young man. that is. when he finds time to study. But his time is limited, as “Dev” has great interests in Catty.” Taking a great liking for mining, he has decided to make that his future study and work.

Last September we admitted “Dotter into our high school and from the very beginning he showed a loyalty to Northampton; first, by being a good student, and, second, by becoming one of our best football players. The second half of the year his studies were neglected, but there was always an excuse when “Dotter failed in a recitation. But putting aside his care-free attitude toward studies, we find he is a fine young man. having made friends galore while with us.

She played as center on our girls’ basketball team and took part in two plays during her one year in our Alma Mater. Kathryn could lie found playing the piano during lunch period to the delight of some and misery of others. She’s ambitious for education, for she hikes to this city every morning unless some kind person puts a machine to her service.

Although she is rather shy when it comes to talking in class, outside Oh. my! “Mandy spends her leisure in holding down the pavement at the corner of Twenty-first and Main Streets. Not a participant in athletics she has been nevertheless a loyal fan. Her ability as a secretary was used to very good advantage while she served as secretary to the adviser of our Amptf.nnian Staff. At any rate we are certain that she will make a very efficient private secretary for some lucky business man.

Some speed demon! Although “Pegs can handle a typewriter as well as a Ford, she intends to take up nursing. If she handles her patients very gently, we are afraid “Lizzie” will rattle with jealousy.

LEWIS FLOM “Flomy” “Louie” Lewis was at first one of the studious young men in our class, but he grew restless in his last two years and has become, almost, one of the idle rich. He did not participate in athletics in his two studious years, spending, we believe, all his time on lessons. He became, however, a member of the basketball team in his third year, acting captain of football in his fourth year, and a forward on the basketball team. Incidentally a sort of sticking spirit showed, for he received a gold football for playing every minute of every game of football and came near to doing the same thing in basketball. Flomy never forgets a friend; his loyalty and jolly good nature have won him many friends who will not forget him.

Again and again she has been threatened with membership to the Late Comers Club.” Mae intends to take up nursing and we are sure her bright and carefree disposition will make her a welcome nurse for any ward. Now when Mif isn’t sleeping or giggling she is exercising her jaws via the chewing gum process. We wonder where she gets all the pennies for the chewing gum machine. Oh. well, she is a business woman, perhaps, she buys it by the box. At any rate, we look forward to her success in her chosen profession.

Despite the fact that “Silver” has only been with us a year, we already feel as though we had known him for a long time. Anytime we hear a noise or loud talking we do not need to look to be convinced that “Silver is on the war path. Silver’s favorite occupation is studying and he usually has his lessons well prepared. He is also a good sport ; this is shown in the way he attends all of our athletic events. There is nothing ever too much for Silver. who is always ready to do a favor for some one. He is also a member of the Glee Club, and sings very good tenor. He likes to play tricks, for instance: thrQwing erasers.

No wonder she has to get a hooky’ to school on Monday morning. ‘‘Betty’ found that she couldn’t find enough of education up in the sticks to quench her thirst so she came to try her luck in Northampton High School. Has she succeeded? Well, we ll let you decide for yourself. Betty takes no part in our sports, but nevertheless she is a loyal rooter for her Alina Mater.

During the first three years of his attendance one might have thought he was stealthily stalking some timid creature and did not dare to make noise. That was in his first three years. Now he still stalks wild boars or lions, but he does not do it quietly. A most expert sleuth would not be able to find Mr. Hiestand in or near school the first day of the hunting season. Lessons can't even track him. He throws them off his trail without the least of difficulty. Yet. he must be a good young man. for he belongs to the Hi-Y and some say he canvassed all of Pennsylvania to sell fourteen tickets for the class play.

Helen has filled her office faithfully. She also took part in the class play. Helen’s winning ways have drawn many friends to her. Her soft modulated laugh is pleasing to hear. Her voice is also an asset to the Glee Club. If you want to be entertained come and hear Helen play on the fiddle.

Peter is one of the silent fellows, who thinks a lot but never says much. Although he studies hard. Peter cannot earn a good mark in French, but chemistry seems to come to him better.

Soon he began to realize that his social activities were being neglected and now he has learned that there is a time for work and a time for play. “Pauly has been a member of the Glee Club since he entered high school. That he can use his voice to advantage is seen by the fact that he captured second prize in the Oratorical Contest. His combined singing and speaking ability made him an ideal person for the hero of the Rose of Tokio. Paul is also an athlete, having been a varsity football man and one of the marathon race winners. “Pauly” has not yet decided definitely what he shall do after he leaves school but whatever he chooses may the good Lady Fortune speed him on his way.

But knowing the usual attention given to class reunions, 1 was scarcely surprised to learn, after I had sent fifty-eight invitations to the respective members of the class of twenty-eight, to a dinner in the domestic science rooms, that only eight could possibly attend, business or other very urgent matters directing the attentions of the others. The invitations attended to. I turned my efforts toward getting up a program of entertainment. After debating the question with Mildred Reinert, now principal of the Wolf School Building in Northampton, we decided on something we thought quite unique. Although the clock had struck the hour for dinner fifteen minutes ago, as yet only seven of those who had promised to come had actually arrived. We were about to take dinner when the one for whom we had been waiting entered hastily none other than Henry Walter Nathan Hawk, M. D. During the dinner we related some of the experiences encountered in our different professions and in this manner became acquainted with the facts that Kathryn Farny was head of the English Department at the Coplay High School and that Catherine Rice was private secretary to the Superintendent of the Public Schools of Pennsylvania. Then we learned that Norman Laub had added Ph. D. to his name and was now teaching Social Sciences at Pennsylvania State College. Earl Smith, who had attained the Postmaster Generalship in thirty-four, and Paul Malarchuck. Private Secretary to the Governor of the Commonwealth, also found it within their power to attend, and with Ray Rutman, Y. M. C. A. Secretary, our party of eight was accounted for. The dinner being disposed of. we retired to the library, where I announced that we would now be entertained by Prof. Okay Hemeneks, who would call forth some spirit from the pages of history or myth that we might converse with him about the past, present, or future. The room had been put in readiness and the lights lowered, when the professor asked some one to call forth a spirit. According to plan. Miss Reinert asked that Merlin, the Magician, should appear and make known to us the different positions occupied by the missing members of the class which prevented them from being present. Immediately there was a bright flash and Merlin, the Magician, stood before us and addressed us thus: “Know, ye gentle folk of the class of twenty-eight, that all I say here I have seen during my journey to your presence. “In the city of San Francisco I have seen Kenneth Bilheimer acting in his capacity of store salesman for Spalding stores owned by Donald New-hard and Samuel Newhard. “Merlon Deaveraux and Lewis Flom have gone into partnership for the 'Isle Royal’ mine in Colorado, while Charles Reichard has a promising future as electrical engineer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America. Margaret Fenstermacher and Elizabeth Fries have volunteered to lead the drive against saloons in Chicago, and Willard Boyer is climbing higher in his profession as veterinarian, which he is pursuing in the same city. 4 40 I | i i i IS i I M I i m i i i 1 5.

We went from the library and passed along the silent walls peering into the dark, empty rooms. This was Mr. Smith’s room. Do you remember?” And here was Miss Martin’s.” What fun we had! What fun!

(Class of 1929 OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Edward Siecer Arthur Hill Catherine Sicher Bertha Laros With a rmile and a sigh the jolly Juniors dedicate the year 1928 to the book of memories and turn to the last chapter of their high school life. Let us linger a little to review what has passed. In September. 1927. the class was organized with Edward Sieger as our leader. Realizing that our members were not well acquainted, we held a class party in November. Since then we have had no need to stop to ponder over names. The football season found many sturdy fellows ready to tackle their job of defeating Northampton’s opponents. Although many did not make the varsity, they showed their loyalty by continuing to turn out for practice. Basketball. baseball, and track, likewise, found many Juniors ready to serve. The Junior Public Speaking Contest on January II. 1928, showed another ability of the class of ’29. when Bertha Laros. Arthur Heyman. Leora Heyman, and Charles Berg won the honors in one of Northampton’s best contests. The class can boast a large membership on the debating teams. Rachael Nicholas. Anna Zadubera. Bertha Laros. Beatrice Snyder, and Esther Smith all brought glory to ’29 and to Northampton. Our Galli-Curcies” and ‘‘Carusoes’’ could not be done without in the glee club, and Grace Grove distinguished herself as an accompanist. The musicians of the class are found plentifully in the orchestra. Now we are looking forward to our last year when we shall return to be the best Senior Class for Northampton. ft J45 Northampton High School The I 928 Amptennian £2§i$iSBS!§ti§3 V I £ m A Class of 1930 Bauer.

Even after Northampton bids us adieu.” The class of 1930 has received the distinctive honor of having been the first Sophomore Class to be organized in Northampton High School. As an organized class we have not done anything very astounding, for there were no Sophomore social events, neither was there any contest or the like. Nevertheless, there has been adhesion and cohesion in the exalted class of 1930. In what manner would both the girls' and boys’ varsity basketball teams have fared if our Mary Jane, our “Sue” Chernansky, our Cora Louise, our Mary Schaffer, our Leonard, and our Lutte had not been at hand? Even if the girls’ class teams were not to be openly commended on their playing, the boys’ class team swam high among the scorers. Many a time a wail went up from the Sophomore rooters. Oh. if only ‘Josey’ Moran were taller!” “Josey” and Leonard are plucky Sophomore forwards. The class has within its embrace Ray Wahl, our dwarf xylophonist, the only one playing this instrument in N. H. S. Herbert Santee, the violinist; Toots Bauer, the nightingale; Arlene Kocher, the debater; Gloria Sieger, the actress and playwright, who wrote Ken Yer Lassie.” a play of Scotch dialect; John Waryck and Kenneth Vandergrift, the artists; Darrel Hartman, the football star; the formerly mentioned basketball stars including Harold Lane. Stephen Lisetski, Charles Newhard. Darrel Hartman, and Joseph Magyar; Evelyn Coleman, the tomboy and cheerleader, and Madeline Beers, the talkative youngster, all are outstanding personages in their respective realms. The play, Ken Yer Lassie, which was given in chapel for the purpose of relieving the heavily burdened minds of the Seniors and Juniors, was a rip-roaring success, despite the hints of bashfulness. The effective costuming added greatly to the success of the play. Another play, a direct opposite of Ken Yer Lassie,” entitled “Not Quite Such a Goose.” also brought home the bacon.” In the previously named play the characters were also effectively portrayed by costuming and appropriate acting. The casts of both plays were members of the class of 1930. Not only was the cheering of the squads improved during the past year, but also the maneuvers of the cheerleaders. To top this fact is that three of the four cheerleaders were Sophomores. All in all the Sophomores have been an important factor in this year’s development of Northampton High School.

When school opened in September, Coach Clymer issued a call for candidates and with two weeks of practice we journeyed over to Pen Argyl. Here we bowed to a 38-12 defeat, but our spirits were not dampened in the least. “Lewie” Flom and “Roman” Wolf scored touchdowns for the Black and Orange. We were told our faults and remedied them. In the Stroudsburg game we showed the fans what the team was really made of. We were beaten by a 6-0 score, only after Stroudsburg had used a fake play to garner their only touchdown. Next we traveled to Wilson, suffering a 26-6 reverse. They outweighed us and had more experience. Puggy Bilheimer scored for N. H. S. on a forward pass from “Turdy.” Lehighton proved too much for us on our home field, winning by a 12-0 score. We fought hard all the way through, but were unable to hold them at the crucial moments. Our first taste of victory came by defeating Bangor. Handicapped by a 2-0 lead until the third quarter, we came through, and after a number of line plunges. “Croak Lutte took the ball over for the winning touchdown. It was the first victory the Black and Orange had scored over Bangor in three seasons. With a victory to our credit we traveled to Palmerton with high hopes. The field was very muddy and after battling through four quarters the game ended, a scoreless tie. Neither team had made much headway; the ball was carried up and down the field by both teams, but neither was able to score. We then traveled to Nazareth and were confident of bringing home the bacon. The incompetency of the officials was the cause of an 18-7 defeat. “Turdy Sieger, our crashing fullback, went over the line and then kicked the goal for our only score. We now turned our attention to the “Catty game. A rainy Thanksgiving morning dawned at last. The pep given to us by the Ampton Club at a banquet was quite evident. N. H. S. was represented by its own high school band, making its first public appearance. Catty' was represented by the American Legion Band. The field resembled a swamp—water here and water there. A little practice and the teams lined up for the kick off. Catty receiving. The first quarter, Oswald took the ball over from an off-tackle play for the only score. A completed forward pass gave them the extra point. The ball then zigzagged up and down the field, neither team making much headway. “Catty had the ball on our five-yard line when the final whistle blew. With this game ended we lowered the curtain on our 1927 season. The Athletic Association tendered a banquet to the boys at the end of the year. The letters and gold footballs were awarded. To cap the climax we elected Turdy Sieger to captain next year’s eleven. 4 30} X Northampton High School ; The 1928 Amptennian 451} $ sWtsSSMStW ® Northampton High School Varsity Hinc up Hawk.

Captain Newhard and Lewis Flom were the only two players remaining from the team of last year. Coach Clymcr had a hard job to pick a team but with the opening of the first game, we hung up a victory over Emaus, 28-8. Mike Newhard was the high scorer of the game with 18 points. Stroudsburg proved our downfall, but this reverse did not dampen our spirits and we prepared to take the scalp of the Alumni. They turned the tables on us, 20-30. Our old stars. Art ’ Young, Walter Troxell, Bones Rieter, and Mope ’ Kutzler, were seen in action. Our worst defeat was handed to us when we journeyed down the river to lock horns with Allentown High. The Canary and Blue lads had things their own way, dropping field goals almost at will. To avenge ourselves we took the scalp of Nazareth Hall. 21-10, and Lchighton, 27-22. These two games just prepared us for our biggest victory of the year that over Catty High.” Mike” Newhard was back in the lineup after being out for three games during which time Wolf served as captain. The new gym was packed, almost 1000 persons being present. Catty started the fireworks, holding down a 13-2 lead at the end of the quarter. The second half found them still leading. 17-14. At the end of the regulation game the score stood 32 up. At the end of an extra five-minute period it was again tied, 34 apiece. Another five-minute period was started. Oswald shot a foul for Catty.” With ten seconds to play, Mike New-hard put one in from the center. The game ended with the ball at center. The score. 36-35, tells the story of the great comeback of the Black and Orange. Newhard and Flom starred for N. H. S., while Oswald and Manley took honors for Catty.” Whitehall was our next victim. We took them under with a 28-26 score, winning their booster game. We dropped the rest of the games to our opponents only after losing out in the second half. Captain Newhard was highest scorer for the Black and Orange. Playing the pivot position for two years, he was well fitted for this job. “Lewie” F om was our crack forward. With some varsity experience he stepped into a regular berth. He played a fine game during the entire season. Devereaux, our other forward, came through in a number of games and showed the fans what he was made of. Stepping into a varsity berth without any previous experience, he played exceptionally well. Lutte, a guard, was another varsity man without experience. He played a fine guarding game during the season. With two more years before him he will develop into an excellent guard. Roman” Wolf was the other varsity guard. He also was without varsity experience, but played heartily, dropping a number of goals from center for the Black and Orange. Thomas. Haff and Sieger were the able three substitutes. {K Northampton High School •c:: I he 1928 Amptennian k«2$s 53:.«s :■ Si A' I VarSitp Uiiif up Player D. Newhard L. Flom A. Wolf M. Devereaux E.

It was exceptionally fine considering the few remaining from last year’s team and the new material which had to be broken in. Success was largely due to the fact that there existed hearty co-operation in the team as well as never failing efforts on the part of our new coach. In the beginning of the season H. Christman and F. Schaeffer very ably took the positions of forward, between them scoring many points for N. H. S. This was F. Schaeffer’s first year at forward and she certainly showed great ability. Other years she played guard. Sorry to say, when in the midst of the season we had to lose our star forward, “Jimmy” Christman, for she had the misfortune of fracturing her leg in a motor accident. Although we missed her greatly, B. Hoffman played her position and scored quite a few points. Captain Gougher and K. Farney played a capital game at center. Gougher has attained the honor of being the only girl to play every quarter this season. The honors for the defensive positions go to E. Chernansky and C. Richards, who by their speed gave us many a chan:e to raise the score. Varsity will lose Captain Gougher (otherwise known as Sticks ”), Schaeffer,” Farny,” Scab” Hoffman, Scotchy” Roth, Yitzie” Reiter, and Ricey this year through graduation. With C. Richards, E. Chernansky, H. Christman, M. J. Frantz, and M. Shaffer remaining, we are sure of a foundation for another successful team. This year we have not been fortunate enough to win the majority of the games played, but, after all, the sportsmanship, the fighting spirit, and the co-operation which existed, really count more than the scores. It is not so much what you do, as how you do it. This standard has been upheld as a credit to the girls as well as a credit to the Black and Orange. The new gym was an asset to our basketball team as well as to the school. We are certain it inspired them on to many a victory. This year we stressed interclass basketball, scheduling games between all the classes of the school. The Junior Class won the high school tournament and quite deservedly. There was much interest and rivalry among the classes. We were very glad to see this good feeling, since the modern trend of athletics is not to develop six players to represent athletics in the school, but rather to get as many girls interested as possible, giving any one who enjoys the game a chance to play. In some schools there are no varsity athletics. Instead they have interclass games. This arrangement has proved very successful. Previous years managing was in charge of a member of the faculty, but this year the responsibility was placed into the hands of a student manager. M. Reinert, who was appointed, proved herself capable of serving in this office. © I I 154 r Northampton High School VarsitP line up M. Gough f.r. 28 (Captain).. Side Center K. Farny. '28 H. Christman.

Mr. Clymer issued his call for baseball candidates. About thirty boys responded. With but two varsity men remaining from last year. Coach Clymer had a hard job on hand to whip a team into shape for the opening game. Susco, a varsity pitcher, and Moore, third basemen, were the two men on which to build a team. Friday, April 13th. the team played Coplay. Superstitions were not destined to bother the Konkrete Kids and they walked away with a 23-2 victory. Susco started on the mound for the Black and Orange and after twirling fine ball for five innings, he was relieved by “Stevie Lisetski. We hope for bigger things from Stevie” in his next two years. Stevie” Szupper was assigned the job behind the bat. He was relief catcher last year and with another year before him he will be one of the best catchers N. H. S. has ever had. Satsko Susco was the mainstay of the team. With his fine twirling and splendid bat work he helped win many a game for the Black and Orange. Satsko” is a senior, but we hope to find a man for mound duty as capable as he. Croak Lutte. in care of the initial sack, played fine ball throughout the season and still has two more years ahead of him. Leonard Thomas was assigned the keystone rock. With no previous experience he played a fine game during the entire season. Josie Moran, one of our boys from Coplay, did much for the team at short. He also has two more years. Monroe Moore was given his old job at the bat corner. With two years’ experience he proved invaluable for this position. The outfielders were Babes” Reinert. “Louie” Flom, and “Yink” Maslany.

A fine group of youthful artists displayed unusual talent and scored success. The first act opens in the peaceful and beautiful garden of Ho Ho. the newly elected Mayor. The cunning and guileful Baron Kaneko has instigated a revolution. His artful and deceiving plots reach even to the serene and beautiful garden of Ho Ho, who has been given a leading role in the affairs of the city by the power-craving Baron. In return for this favor. Ho Ho betroths the fairest flowers in his ward, Fu San. to the Baron. But Fu San's love is won by Ying Po, a wandering minstrel, who. later throwing off his disguise, is recognized as none other than the Emperor. Richard Smith, an American reporter for the International News Service, complicates matters by wooing Mei-O-Mei, who is the Baron s choice. Startling disclosures are made by Ying Po and Dr. Wu, a celebrated detective, assuming the name of Chi Fu. The Baron is outwitted and killed and the Emperor again peacefully takes the throne. Paul Malarchuk, with his deep voice and movements of august dignity, fulfilled to perfection the majestical part of the Emperor. Margaret Kleppinger as the lovely Fu San played her part delightfully, giving a rich interpretation of all the pathos and devotion of her role. The difficult and strenuous part of Dr. Wu, the detective, was splendidly portrayed by Norman Laub. Sincere characterization with the necessary bodily contortions made his a meritable performance. The little fairy-like Mei-O-Mei was Gloria Sieger, whose winning ways, combined with a bird-like voice, made her a little Jap that any American boy would love. Opposite her in the role of Richard Smith, was Kenneth Mensinger, who, with his romantic voice and lively personality, lived up to our expectations as a true American boy. Ray Rutman. as Saturday, the Mayor's body-guard, was one of the leading sources of amusement. Quite a come-down indeed was he. Arlene Miller as Aunt Chloc was our southern rose. David Smith made real to us the villainous Baron. His strong portrayal of a difficult role was highly commendable. Charles Berg, as Ho Ho, with his thunderous voice, gave us the personality of the Mayor. Mrs. Ho Ho. Kathryn Farny, gave us some idea of what feet trouble” was like. Our pianist. Beatrice Young, certainly must be praised. She tickled the ivories with a graceful touch and was always prompt. J 59 f Northampton High School The 1928 Amptennian I M Captain Applejack The class of 1928 again upheld the dramatic standards of Northampton High School when they presented on April 19th and 20th Captain Applejack, an Arabian Night’s Adventure in Three Acts, by Walter Hackett, A mysterious and entangled plot made the play one of the most thrilling ever presented here. The scene was laid in the library of the Old Applejohn mansion in Cornwall. The play told of Ambrose Applejohn who, being dissatisfied with tranquil home life, decided to go out into the world to seek Adventure and Romance, and of how he discovered in the course of a night that he need not leave home to find them. Anna, an alluring foreign lady (who later proved to be an accomplice to a desperate robber), the terrible Borolsky himself, a pair of thieves named Pengard, and his attractive ward. Poppy (whose lovableness he had heretofore overlooked), besides a secret parchment and a hidden treasure, all served to jolt him from the abhorred rut.” A vivid dream of buccaneering days awoke his pirate blood and gave the placid hero courage to defeat the burglas, save the treasure, claim his true love, and incidentally to discover that the coveted Adventure and Romance were right there at home and that the thing that he had always longed for had always been at his side. | m The members of the cast played their roles in a highly commendable manner. Kenneth Mensinger, as Ambrose Applejohn, bore the heaviest part and showed himself capable of the changes in mood that it demanded. During the dream his acting was especially whole-hearted and realistic. Margaret Kleppinger, in the role of Poppy Faire, lived up to her already established reputation as an actress of merit. The part of the arch-villain Borolsky was strongly played by Charles Sieger. Kathryn Farny gave a delightful interpretation of the subtle and intriguing Anna Valeska. Norman Laub again carried the odd character part when he played Pengard— Hindu seer, Chinese boatswain, and English thief. Bessie Hoffman used her black eyes and brisk manner to the best advantage in the role of Mrs. Pengard. Lush, the butler, showed us another side of Ray Rutman’s dramatic ability. Always able to bring forth a laugh, he proved able to do it this time without once smiling himself. Feme Schaeffer played creditably as the aristocratic Mrs. Whatcombe. Lewis Flom gave us a good performance in his role of Johnny Jason, the jovial crack salesman. Paul Malarchuk. as Dennet (the burglar disguised as a policeman!), lived up to his previous record as an actor. Helen Keener, our dainty maid, finished the all-star cast—with the exception of the pirates, who—of course, deserve a great deal more comment than space allows. They were the burly, rough fellows who helped to make the “dream act the boisterous success that it was. The play was directed by Miss Martin, who was assisted by Miss Barnes. The happy co-operation of the cast with the coaches produced for us the never-to-be-forgotten Captain Applejack. 4 60) XL, Northampton High School I I I n A ..w.

Lyceum numbers, graduation, and the exercises held annually at Indianland.

Northampton High School I he 1928 Amptennian ft £fje School Sihind The Northampton School Band, which is composed of both Senior and Junior High School pupils, has rounded out its first year very successfully in view of the fact that nothing of this sort has ever been attempted in the local schools before. At the beginning of the present term, a call was made for all those interested in the band to report for practice. About thirty-five appeared, with various instruments, but it was soon realized that some bass horns, of which there were none, were needed. At the next School Board meeting, it was decided that these instruments should be purchased and distributed among members of the school, but be retained by the band. This being done, the members soon learned to handle their instruments and practiced with the rest of the band. During the first few practices there was more discord than harmony but with more practices under the careful supervision of Mr. Harry R. Newhard, the band has improved a great deal and has been commended heartily for good work. The latest improvement was the purchasing of uniforms, which was made possible by donations, chief of which was a $600 donation by Mr. C. W. Strayer. architect of the Junior High School. The first appearance with the new uniforms was made at the Art Exhibit on March 15th, at which the short concert given was generously applauded. Officers of the band elected by the members are: President, Charles Sieger: Vice-President, Ralph Cole: Secretary. Dorothy Keener: Treasurer, Percy Miller: Librarian, David Keener; Drum Major, Merlon Devereaux; Quartermaster, Evan Hankee. 8 i s a I § I I I Th 1928 Amptennian Nr7 'a' i 1 • - p m m Girls’ P lee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, directed so ably by its supervisor. Miss Cromis. has had one of its most successful years. It is one of the most popular organizations of the school, having been requested to sing at various school entertainments. Those who could not come to the Nigh School to hear it were accommodated at their own homes, for the girls rendered a short program “over the air” in January. The Friday before Christmas was spent in a most fitting way by the girls. Miss Cromis took them to every school building in the town, where they delighted the children by singing Christmas carols before their classroom doors. On March 14th, the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs held their annual concert. The program was as follows: Sing. Sing.

This year the club can boast of having the largest number of members since its organization. This large number also led to better singing. On March 14th the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs gave a combined concert in connection with the art exhibit. The Glee Club on April 5th. in connection with the Easter program, sang two selections: My Jesus, I Love Thee” and “Guide Thou and Guard Us.’’ The boys did not sing as many times as the girls, but they are sure that all who have listened to them were very well pleased with their work. The Glee Club hopes to get started earlier next term so that they may have a more successful year than ever before. J66}. Northampton High School : c:t� .11,,.

In previous years the school paper has always been published by an outside printing concern. This year this task was taken over by the staff. Under the supervision of our faculty advisers. Miss Barnes and Miss Weed, and through the support of the students, the staff was able to make this publication a successful one. Although it is published only monthly and the news is quite old when it reaches the public, it has that touch of personal feeling to it which pleases most readers. It also gives more chance to the students of both Junior and Senior High Schools to show their ability along journalistic lines. Then we must not forget the artists who made the worthwhile sketches that adorn the pages of our publication. Some one remarked that the cover of our Christmas edition alone was worth the price of the whole paper. With the support that we are now getting and a little more experience in the work, the Concrete Tablet is bound to become an active organ of the school.

Plans were laid for a series of debates in the newly organized Lehigh Valley Interscholastic Debating League, including the following schools: Slatington. Catasauqua. Palmerton. Kmaus. Whitehall, and Northampton. Up to date of this issue of the Amptennian. Catasauqua and Slatington have been debated on the problem Resolved: that the system of direct primaries for state and national offices be abandoned. In these contests the affirmative team, comprising Cath-erine Rice. Norman Laub. and Grace Grove, was given the victory, while the negative team consisting of Esther Smith. Rachel Nicholas, and Beatrice Snyder, lost by split decisions. The scores by points indicate more than the decision of judges, as Northampton had twenty-two points against fourteen points for the opponents. Among the series of debates the most important was the annual triangular debate, including Nazareth. Pen Argyl. and Northampton High Schools. The question for this debate was Resolved: that the United States cancel the debts incurred by the Allies during the World War.” This debate was held on Friday night. April 13th. a lucky date for the negative team, comprising Catherine Rice. Mildred Reinert, and Grace Grove, for they took the decision from Pen Argyl. The affirmative team, however, consisting of Anna Zadubera. Rachel Nicholas, and Bertha Laros. was not quite as fortunate, for they lost by a two-to-one decision. The teams deserve equal credit, for every one did splendid work. The credit for our success in debating this year belongs largely to our able coach.

Librarian With the advent of the new Junior High School came also a finer, better, more fully equipped, and more beautiful library than Northampton has ever before been able to boast of. This library, although too small to meet the demands of both the Senior and Junior High Schools, is a big improvement over the old one which occupied the northwest corner of the Senior High School. The new library is modern in every detail, being equipped with regular library chairs and tables, circulation desk, and extensive shelving. Undoubtedly, the library has become a valuable adjunct and can be looked upon as equal in importance to the laboratory, the shop, the gymnasium, and the playground of the school system. Our library has been organized to meet the broadening aims of the school. It serves as a center to both Senior and Junior High Schools and to all the grade schools as well. Properly conceived, it is the correlating center of the schools’ activities. It contributes directly to the effectiveness of instruction in each subject by providing an abundance of supplementary material. Even though our present library is still in its infancy, we feel that a long step has been taken in making students realize that “Without books God is silent, justice dormant, natural science at a stand, philosophy lame, letters dumb, and all things involved in darkness. vCS! sSIINorthampton High School I i A 1 1928 Amptennian I i HOME ECONOMICS ■V: � M 3 wWw fi a 9 m Northampton High School w I 1 V The 1928 Amptennian a ffi, :The 1928 Amptennian ?3e$ 5H8S SSK m Student Council Ray Rutman .

Willard Boyer, and Mr. Smith, faculty adviser, spent three days in September. 1927. at the opening exercises of the Eastern Pennsylvania Hi-Y Clubs at EarlviUe. As they came back with a great many ideas, the Hi-Y was soon set busy. Meetings were held once a week and at each meeting a member led in the discussion from Dextei’s “Older Boys’ Problems.” Induction ceremonies for the first time were started this year. They proved very interesting (to the spectators). On April 4th the Hi-Y had charge of the exercises in chapel. The speaker for the occasion was Mr. Dalrymple. personnel secretary of the State Y. M.

As for their name, they certainly lived up to it. They made children’s clothes for the hospital, extended Christmas cheer among the poor, and had entertainments. They sold candy and Christmas wreaths and had several moving picture benefits in order to raise money for the camping trip planned for early summer. Wishing also to have healthy bodies they went on hikes, enjoying the doggie roasts which followed. In everything that the Girl Reserves undertook they were given fine support, and they thank all who helped in making this organization a success. Much of their success had been due to their guardians. Miss Martin and Miss Barnes, who made an effort to teach them to live for others and to be helpful. The colors of the organization are blue and white, and the emblem a Triangle, all symbolic of a perfect body, a keen mind, and a Christian spirit the ideals of the Girl Reserves. 79}- I Northampton High School The 1928 AmpterunanlS HBBB BB® Ilf Club De Jfrancate Fais cc quc dois, le bien en adviendra.” The French Club, a new organization in the High School, was organized at the beginning of the school term.

The adviser of the club was Miss Lydia Martin. At the beginning of each month new officers were elected. Every Friday programs were rendered by members of the club during the French period.

The cooks, members of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes, were taught by Miss Seidel. Classes were held once a week either on Tuesday or Thursday, whichever day was more suitable to the pupils. So far we have progressed fairly well and any one need not fear if he is asked to sample the cooking. In addition to learning how to cook, we also were taught to bake, to make candy, ice cream, and other refreshing desserts. Our classes have been a success, and let us hope that the boys not graduating will continue their art and that those coming in will endeavor to perpetuate the class.
