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. Donald Haff, Walter Hawk. f 8f l S siO.-gpL : Northampton High School r. s2L :

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. BOYER Phil This bright-looking boy will be the veterinary surgeon of the class, with a motto of. Be kind to dumb animals. Well. 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.

EMELINE COLEMAN Colie This mannish-looking young maid is Colie.” a very shy and bashful girl. But silence is golden; how about it. Colie.” Although quiet. 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. Colie will make success follow her efforts. Kathleen (I); Girl Reserves (3. 4); Amptennian Staff (4); French Club (4). 20J I i I M I I I I 1 Northampton High School
