Northampton Area High School - Amptennian Yearbook (Northampton, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1931 volume:

To Helen AAae Pfrom YV HOSE intelligent leadership and per-’ sonality has directed us, not only in sport, but in the ideals of life. We, the class of 1931, dedicate this Amptennian. 1 intents Faculty C! asses Organizations Athl etics Humor Advertisements 'Vast spaces of the unfilled nobk sea Lying serene beneath the morning sun, Would that all nature of the world might be Like you forever, peaceful and at one.’ International peace, a dream! you say. Do all dreams end in dreaming? Long ago Someone dreamed of a stone gray school, someday To stand where only pink clover would grow. Then someone saw a mottled group, a crowd Of children —Slav, Hungarian, German, Pole, Climb cold gray steps — their scared eyes groundward bowed,-Today thirty-one seeks a common goal. For thirty-one had a glorious dream Of living her years in a book, a plan To add to the light of peace a faint gleam — We clasp hands — America and Japan! K. N. L. THE class of 1931 has done well in selecting Japanese Literature as the theme of its Amptennian. Japan is called by its people, Nippon, which means the Land of the Rising Sun, for Asia views the rising sun by looking in the direction of Japan. The rising sun symbolizes awakening, life, growth, all hopefitting symbols for the contemplation of young people just entering upon the duties of life. The awakening of Japan, following the visit of our own Commodore Perry in 1853, is one of the miracles of the nineteenth century. So quickly did this nation of brave, courteous, little people absorb the best of western civilization that in a few decades it has placed itself among the greatest nations of the world. It is hoped that the years which the class of 1931 has spent in this High School have likewise awakened your intellects to the fullest possibilities, and that you have absorbed much of the world s science, art and literature, so that you may go forth well prepared to meet the responsibilities of life. Ever keep your face toward the rising sun, be loyal to the teachings of Northampton High School, and success and happiness will surely be yours. • Sincerely yours, G. A. Eichler WE are coming to the end of another school year with this issue of The Amptennian, comemorating the deeds thoughts, feelings and achievements of YOU, the Class of 1931. You will remember the three years, spent in this High School, as the happiest years of your life. Here, you have made life-long friendships,- here, new hopes and ambitions were born,- and here began your highest ideals. It was this atmosphere of enthusiasm and encouragement that made you want to aspire to a finer and more wonderful goal. We, the friends of the Class of 1931, hope to keep this issue of the Amptennian as a source of information and a reminder of your ambitions within the walls of our high school. We are waiting to see if your dreams of 1931 will come true, as they are told in this issue. There might be fewer failures if more people understood the significance of Robert Whitaker s Poem: Live for something, have a purpose And that purpose kept in view, Drifting like a helpless vessel, Thou cans't never to life be true, Half the wrecks that strew life s ocean, If some star had been their guide, Might have long been riding safely, But they drifted with the tide. I. L. Sheaffer Would that my sleeve were long and wide enough To cover all the sky and shelter thus The fair Spring blossoms from the scattering wind.” TO THE GRADUATES 'Cherry blossoms in sunset light! I lean my breast upon my staff and pause To view the lovely sight.” I Fish in the summer rise This peaceful summer day and snap At little dragon flies. History holds no charms for Mr. Smith on hot summer days when he and Mr. Shaeffer tramp into the woods to fish in a lazy stream or cool lake. For a time he forgets even those history dates which he learned so perfectly during the time he spent at Keystone State Teachers' College, Lafayette College, and Columbia University. If I should pluck this fair Jlower blossoming. I might defile its beauty with my hand. So let it stay, ungathered where it grows. — Hujuo It may be a gift of the gods to be able to make Rowers grow, but only God can bestow that keen understanding of how to make people grow ! Wholly unconscious of the deep influence of her lovely personality on the secret hearts of so many apparently indifferent boys and girls, Miss Martin lives her ideals even in French which she learned at Moravian College,-Lehigh University; McGill University of Montreal Canada,- University of Paris,- and at the Middlebury French School in Vermont. W i Id geese fly. Sideuxiys stretching, across the sky. Like comical Dutch u riling! —So in If old Japan should have seen Mr. Fegely's faithful pal, his printing machine, in action would she have compared it, too, to birds which usually fly like crazy foreign writing — back and forth, not up and down in Japanese fashion? Everyone hopes that teaching mathematics, with electricity, as a side-line, in N. H. S., will continue to be the choice of Mr. Fegely, a graduate of Keystone State Normal School and Franklin and Marshall College. “ All night long the dance goes on Till dew upon the dancer’s sleeves Proclaims that it is dawn. Not all commercial teachers are strictly business-like individuals who like nothing but cold, dry facts. As conclusive proof: Cedar Crest has given us a most charming personality in the person of Miss Hagy who loves dancing and camping every bit as much as typewriting. O the lure of a road in the Spring-bathed World The road of dream that I see— Flowers hid near by. grav mists up-curled And far horizons calling me. — twano Who could resist the tantalizing invitation of a fresh spring morning to take a tramp in the brisk air? Mr. Tinkcom, trained to teach history and debating at Penn-State where he received an A. B. degree, forgets about being a dignified teacher when he yields to the call of the woods and a book — far away from school. '' W ouldst thou know to be a poet ? Deeply feel but lightly show it Toil and fast, but let none know it. Miss Kistler’s training in Wyoming Seminary, West . Chester State Teachers' College, Pennsylvania State College and the University of Pennsylvania has developed not only her ability to teach English literature but also her creative genius. Who knows how many hours the midnight oil burns over scribbled sheets not meant for classes the next morning! Although I know the gentle night M i surely follow morn Yet. when I’m uakened by the sun Turn over, stretch and yawn. m How I detest the dawn! —Mtchi-nobu All of which proves the fact that a person may love to sleep and still be the most energetic individual alive! No one will ever accuse Miss Hausman of slackening, in her English and German classes, the activity and energeticness engaged in at Cedar Crest where she received an A. B. in English. T hear a music thrilling time arul space. Heart songs of Poets of a hero race— I try to sing them—urn their dainty grace Eludes me still!” Perhaps everyone, whether or not he realizes it, is especially sensitive to some particular form of beauty. A long time before Miss Tucker attended the Peirce School of Business Administration in Philadelphia and summer sessions at Temple and Susquehanna University, there grew from her personality a deep appreciation and love of music — in pleasing contrast to Commercial Arithmetic and Commercial Law. Friend sparrow. do not eat. I pray. The little buzzing flies that play Among my flowers. —Basho A love of flowers is not so strange to one who loves to work with one-time trees. The neat gardens surrounding Mr. Bilheimer's home reveal the same characteristic of thoroughness and exactness as is found in his Manual Training and Drawing classes, the training for which he received at Keystone State Normal School and Penn State College. Let the cunary with no songs lie in an ivory-carved hiHit Anti row with her silver oars In the sea on a moonlight night 7 hen she must remember her ballad — Yaso Saijo Miss Laros probably believes that boys and girls in chapel are like canaries in cages neither will sing. But create the correct atmosphere, which Miss Laros learned to do at Temple University after three years at West Chester, and the bird and the boy will sing, as she proved most positively in her successful operettas and concerts during the school year. And I could wish I had a carriage Made of glass. To cross the mid U hen snowing. —Shiki Miss Seidel might wish to have a car of glass when she takes those long automobile trips in the summer time. But no matter how far away she may be, three times each day she most willingly remembers the training in home economics which she received at Keystone State Teachers' College and at Drexel Institute. A nugin lit night Is like a large volume. W ith ofren while pages — Vu-io Ssl o And vice versa, Miss Hunsberger might well say,. as she reads a bit of choice description between library classes. A sincere love of books led Miss Hunsberger to follow library work at Drexel Institute after she had received her A. B. at Grove City College. Chrysanthemums in bloom, Butterflies at play— W hat a painter's palette. spread with colors gay! Is love of nature as well as inborn talent an essential part of the make up of an artist’s personality? If so, it is not hard to understand the chalk talks, and the pretty costumes fashioned for various concerts by Miss Shive, a former student at Shippensburg State Teachers' College, Bershire Summer School of Art, Penn State College, and Trenton Industrial Art School. All hearts are gladsome must if not he true. That when the happy laugh the gtnls rejoice’ ? At any rate, when the lively boosters at basketball games cheered lustily, fortune seemed to smile upon Mr. Rundle's boys who won second place in the league. Between ''tooth-picks'' and sincere encouragement, Mr. Rundle coached his team to play as he, himself, had played for four years at Stroudsburg State Teachers' College. O nohle women of our land W ith fearless heart and tireless hand Hager and skilled to serve. Japan, too, pays homage to the finest women in the land women such as Miss Moyer, our school nurse, who received her training at Lankenau Hospital, Philadelphia. After busy hours of helping little and big’’ children, Miss Moyer finds reading a splendid diversion. Not yet is past the cherry’s blossom time,-Yet should the petals fall, Now, while their beauty’s moon is at the full, And all the love of those who gaze on them Class P oem We are passing today from thoughts of our childhood, Gliding along in our years, And now that we re older and learned— We ll face Life with smiles, not with tears. To some it means losing their loved ones, To others, the start of careers, But to all there’s a small tint of welcome, And the feeling of knowing good cheer. While here with our dear Alma Mater, We’ve tried to be loyal and strong, And we hope our parting leaves pathways For others who’ll know right from wrong. So, while parting leaves tears of sadness, We re hoping with songs in our hearts, That Life gives to us what we’ve made it, And God gives us strength to impart. Margaret G. Hess Senior C! ass History AS Asia looks toward the East to Nippon eagerly awaiting the rising of the sun, so 108 of us in September 1928 eagerly awaited the dawning of the day, which would find us undergraduates. Reminiscing, the class sees itself orienting from simple childhood days to a new environment of more grown-up high school days. Gradually ascending an endless path we endeavored to prepare ourselves to travel the rough roads of life. Days were interspersed with inter-class and varsity contests, debates and parties, as well as an Oratorical Contest and plays revealing excellent talent. When the Sun-goddess, Ama-terasu, majestically reached her mid-day height she looked over the land of dazzling blossoms and fairy landscapes to find us at the height of our high school career, enjoying the radiance of a social, athletic, and scholastic life. We did our part, making a record which Time cannot erase but will impress more sacredly upon our memories. Some members in the shadows and clouds of dreary days were lost, leaving seventy-three of us to illuminate the graduation pathway. As we travel west leaving the light of our high school days and the cherry blossom land of Nippon to join the ranks of the alumni we all await the Dawn of Tomorrow' . One speaks of yesterday Lives through to-day And on the morrow Hastening away Like Asu s river Ceaselessly and fast The fleeting months and days Are with the past. Mildred Roush John Wolf JOSEPH ASSED 1692 Newport Avenue This quiet lad is called Fuzzy by his more intimate boy friends. He has no eyes for the fairer sex. Joe is very quiet in classes and at times does not choose to answer when called upon. Yet this ambitious lad shows lively interest in school activities. It was he who sold the most flowers for the Hi-Y and the most tickets for Nothing But the Truth. He is very fond of giving his friends a lift to school when he makes his daily rounds with the truck. Fuzzy intends to study at a higher institution of learning.

This shy little maid comes from the country side, where nature has taught her how to learn feminine traits of character. She sings, she sews, she is kind and friendly to all she knows. She is interested in a certain boy. Domestic Arts appeal to her. Will she be a dietecian or a little home maker? We cannot quite decide when we see her riding up on high in a Chevrolet!

This fair youth — the Gareth of our high school enjoys adventures in the reading of Mathematics, History, and Chemistry. His love of nature and outdoor life seems to contrast strongly with bothersome languages that seem to translate little into his meaning of enjoying life.

NICHOLAS BRUCIAK 1513 Dewey Avenue Here’s to the tallest, thinnest six-footer in high school, another representative of the class of ’31. This, ‘ Husky,’’ fellow is student “damager,” and how material suffers when he gets angry. You should see him in action when he orders his assistants about. ‘‘Husky’’ first became popular as Student Manager. His stalwart presence at all N. H. S. athletic contests has undoubtedly won him the title of a Conscientious Fan. We wonder whether he was once interested in foreign languages or foreign personalities! It appears that he has fallen before the onslaughts of Cupid, although he denies the fact. Husky” Commercial Course Activities: Commercial Club 2. T. 4). Hi- Y (4) .

It was Herby ”,a short, smiling fellow always found in mischief. His happy pleasing disposition has won the friendship of his classmates. His good-nature is ever eager to help all those near and dear to him. He likes study periods in order that he may become better acquainted with his classmates’ activities. When Herbert decides to enjoy a profession of his own he will find more interest than the mere gossip of a country store. Commercial Course Activities: Class Basketball ( , 2.

We are sorry, underclassmen, that we can’t get him to sign a contract to return. He is being graduated from the orchestral circle, the treasure ship of the Hi-Y and the usual Senior Class activities. He, too, comes from the mountain side of Laury’s where he learned to be dependable, earnest, and sincere. His sturdy character will always invite the interest of those who like things well done.

Her ready response to all questions indicates a wide range of information and interests. Participation in athletics has no interest for her, yet she enjoys cheering her classmates to victory. Her attitude toward friends strikes a sympathetic nature when she decides to take up the profession of nursing.

Elmer believes in preparedness and punctuality. Extra-curricular activities mean additional work on regular assignments for him. As President of the German Club he has arranged worth while programs that encouraged the interest of all members.

Indeed, she is so uncommunicative that there are only a few classmates who have had the privilege of becoming an intimate acquaintance. Although Lucille does not take her studies seriously, she is a faithful worker and a loyal member of the Commercial Class. Lucille is one of the few people who receive free transportation to and from school. May she never have to wait for life’s train of events.

Every morning Speedy's happy-go-lucky smile greets everyone, classmates and teachers alike, who in turn can not help immediately echoing that smile. And then, there is that tickled pink smile that slowly breaks over Speedy’s scared face at the end of each rating period when she receives due approval for her conscientiously-studied lessons. What an overwhelming crowd of happy people there will be if Evelyn will make all her sick patients as happy as she has made her high school friends.

ALBERT ERDOSY 1328 Newport Avenue Erdosy is a fellow with more possibilities than he has been given credit for, and probably more than he admits to himself. Governed by a code which he has set for himself, Albert is a gentleman. He is almost never flippant, but sincere and friendly. In athletics he is in his element, and showed his ability to best advantage on the gridiron. As an artist, well, just look at this Amptennian. He may never become a great painter, but he is sure to draw his share of success in whatever he undertakes.

The silent question in our minds is: what on earth has provoked such mirth? One of his known accomplishments is playing the saxophone. He appears to be the kind of student who keeps from his classmates any knowledge of his changing thoughts or habits. What can lead him to self-expression, must needs be discovered.

Helen chatters from sunrise to sunset. Her talking has not been in vain, for she has belonged to the Debating Team for three years. Many times she helped to bring a victory to Northampton. She admits enjoying debates at Cat-asauqua best. We wonder why? Spaghetti takes a great interest in dramatics, having participated in numerous school plays. Captivating many friends by her keen sense of humor and clever wit, she uses these qualities in everything she undertakes and has accomplished much in various activities.

This chap, one of the big boys of our class, although not interested in athletics or any other activities, has proved to be an earnest worker. However, having a very reserved sort of nature, Archy has formed the bad habit of not wanting to impart his knowledge. This young man is a member of that great and honorabl e society, ''The Sons of the Soil,” and who knows but that the future may see Archie in the role of a big butter and egg man.

WILLIAM FOGELMAN 1361 Washington Avenue Of a practical turn of mind Fogelman likes those things which can be translated into use immediately. Contrary to one’s first impression, he likes pleasure better than work and seldom exerts himself to do more than is absolutely necessary. It is said that he is always doing surprising things1!! All these traits, especially the last, help in making “Fogelman” a mighty interesting person. He is pleasant to know, too, for his friendliness warms one. Perhaps it is because he has learned the art of being gentlemanly that he is different. Academic Course Activities Radio Club (2. 1) , Debating Club (2, J); Hi- Y Club {2.

FLUCK 1821 Lincoln Avenue To Nelle belongs one of the highest places in school life. Blessed with ability, ambition, and vision, she has made herself known, not by loud acclamation, but by the value of her work. Of course, mention of her playing basketball is undeniably expected, for her work in passing and shooting supplied many a thrill to onlookers in a game. This is only one side of her all-around development. She is decidedly a typical American girl reveling in dancing and all kinds of out-door sports.

He is a follower of all sports and was a faithful student manager. He takes quite an interest in the weaker sex his motto being, Come one, come all.” Possessing quite a bit of ability, he, nevertheless, has to be urged at times to make use of it. “However,’’ even as murder, his traits will out!

When she first entered the high school portals she was a shy and quiet girl, but three years in high school make a difference. Mary with her cheerful disposition has become a favorite among her friends. We all wish we could be as cheerful as Molly . So far she has never been known to frown and always has a smile for everyone. During her spare time Mary can be found displaying her ability as saleslady at Lerner's Department Store.

This big fellow is the capable body guard of ' Herby and ' Lentzie with whom is constantly seen. Little Paul , holding down the pivot position on the basketball team for the past two years, was a great asset to the quintet and we all feel confident that he will be an asset of the same calibre to the business world Comrr ercial Course Activities liashethall (2.

Quietly doing her bit, unfailing when needed, having inherent ability to really give much to her associates, she has received notice and prominence in spite of herself. Influenced by constant exhibition of unselfish service and worthy achievement, gifted with ability and ambition, we expect much from this daughter of Northampton High.

His sparkling wit predominated all of his classes no matter what the subject might have been.

She rates as an expert typist, having received a number of awards for skill. To prove her ability as a business woman she has very capably taken care of the Girl Reserve money. As a willing worker for her classes she promises to be loyal to her Alma Mater. Betty’s efficiency in stenographic work gives us an idea that she may head the office force of some large corporation.

MARGARET GOULD HESS 2011 Washington Avenue Dark, olive-skinned, black-haired, perfectly-groomed, but of such a subtle oersonality that you are only conscious of a delightful human being — Bill . Margaret seems to be the kind of person who gets what she wants. It may take her a little time but she makes the grade. She doesn’t snatch at things, but takes the trouble to prepare herself for what she wants to do. Maybe that is why we are sure she will make a crack aviatrix. However, she has studied hard beside having participated in numerous extra-curricular activities, so she graduates with the reputation of being one of the best-liked young women in the class of 1931.

Edna was such a willing worker in this organization that she earned a trip to Washington, D. C. Her classmates certainly do feel proud to have such an ambitious young lady in their midst. Edna expects to be a 4-H Club Extension worker and we know that she will succeed, because she has the valuable asset of a strong will-power together with a steady determination to reach her aim in life.

KATHLEEN LAUBACH Laurys, Pennsylvania Tis pleasant to meet a girl who has not yet become too sophisticated or modern to practice the pleasant mannerisms of days gone by. She's a lady, most courteous and considerate ,unusual in her self-negotiation and unselfish generosity. Kathleen's the sort of girl who sticks to a job until it is done, and is not stumped by a problem, big or small. This perserverance is an admirable trait and is kept from being unpleasant by a counterbalancing sense of knowing how far to go, and when to stop. Backing all this, is a keen intellect, and a sense of justice and fitness of things that is the exception, rather than the rule, in the girl of today. Academic Course Activities Newspaper Staff (3).

Item: To Harold Schisler, we bequeath Elmer Dech’s tenor voice to warble in chapel. Item: To some oncoming chemistry student we bequeath William Swallow’s ability to break test tubes.

Last of all, we bequeath to anyone who wants the honor in the class of 32, our ability to write a class will. (?) Don’t all yell at once. Hereby, whereas, wherefore and whereby, we the class of '31 give this up as a bad job and appoint the Juniors as executors of our last will and testament. Witnesses: Signed — William Fogelman Goyd Flybbons Carl Shoemaker Vudy Ralee Andus and Amy 1931 Class P The murmur of the sea, And showing through the mist, A single Torii. — Kikaku TIME stood still, as we paused before the pagoda. Its pyramidal stories, towering in colors of intense red, black and gold, dwarfed the limpid pool of lotus flowers spread in front of its steps. When our eyes became used to all this splendor, we suddenly noticed a temple priest placing offerings of food in a contribution box. After he had completed his divine services he turned, and noticing our wide-eyed amazement, walked slowly toward us. When he reached our side he made a low bow and greeted us in perfect English, although a slight Japanese intonation was present. Proceeding directly to our purpose in visiting the prophetic land of Japan, and consequently a structure of prophecy, we asked the holy man to foretell all that the future had in store for the Class of 1931. Leading our group through the torii he finally ushered us into a tiny hilltop shrine, where we sat down upon square silk cushions. Suddenly the room was darkened, with the exception of an illuminated mirror to the fore of the chamber. The priest, motioning for complete silence, told us that if we watched carefully we would see enacted in the speculum some phase in the life of every member of the 1931 class. As we gazed at the smooth glass, there materialized a landing field upon which was poised a black and orange plane. Descending from the cockpit were Marguerite Spohn and Bill” Hess, now world famous aviatrixes. Henry Brader, one of our former classmates, noted for the invention of a new Wonder-Plane, was greeting the arrivals enthusiastically. Henry always was a devil with the women. (Oh! Henry!) Just then, who should drive up to the plane but Kike Kern, now owner of the Rittersville Taxi Corporation. The erstwhile member of the 1931 class then drove the travelers to the finest hotel in the city. This scene slowly faded away. Next appeared a basketball court. While numerous fans cheered lustily, Albert Lerch and LeRoy Koehler walked to their respective benches and advised their teams as to how they should go about winning the basketball championship which was to be determined that night. We left them there and immediately upon the mirror screen came the site of a hospital. Walking in the surrounding gardens were, Lorraine R. Danner, Elinor Farber, Catherine Ohotski, Pearl Oplinger, Eleanor Smith, Mildred Wedde, Mary Wedde, and Marion Shafer, all graduates nurses engaged in special capacities at the institution. Nelle Fluck was serving her interneship at the same place, while lone Bachman and Edna Hower were expert dieticians hired by the establishment. 1951 Class Prophecy (Cont'd) Again appeared the vacant mirror. The ensuing scene showed a large office in an electrical corporation building. Seated at stenographer s desks were twelve former N. H. S. commercial students, Mary Fries, Betty Hall, Catherine O Loughlin, Olga Romanchik, Mary Yaksitz, Nancy Ziatyk, Mary Schwartz, Nicholas Bruciak, Herbert Burkhart, John Vitushinsky, John Pontician and Willard Leibenguth. Grace Oplinger, personal secretary to the Big Boss ”, was bustling in and out, and proving very efficient. Evalyn Lewis was working hard at a file case, while Marguerite Galgen held a job as firm bookkeeper. In this same building was located Dr. William Fogelman, a wealthy dentist, noted for the painlessness of his extraction methods and the ability with which he selected his able assistant, Evelyn Dutte. On the 45th floor, Erdosy-Seidel-Green, commercial artists, maintained a studio. In collaboration with them was Harry Shirk, who owned an advertising agency. Robert Stewart, famous criminal lawyer, occupied another office. His secretary, Kathryn Scoble, was especially commended for her speed and accuracy in taking down Court testimony. Also helping Mr. Stewart in his cases, was Edward Piervallo. As our eyes passed over the various window plates, we noticed one, reading: EDWIN D. NAUSE —President— American Syndicate of Associated Journals. ( Blokey had awakened at last!) His partner in business proved to be Leon Marsh, another able classmate of ours. Suddenly the mirror became blank again; then— A dark street in the Bowery. A figure gliding stealthily along behind another form. The former dressed in a large hunting cap, baggy suit, and carrying a magnifying glass. Who could this diligent sleuth be? A ray of light escaping a street lamp fell upon the person’s face, revealing — Detective Karl Frantz! Ever since Karl's teachers had prevailed upon him to find X, he had been searching for it. May he find it! (We never did.) The blank screen, and then— Dazzling lights surrounding an immense theatre sign on Broadway. What were those names on all sides? Kathleen Laubach—Helen Fekety — William Swallow. So, after hard work in high school and college, they had finally realized their utmost ambitions. 1931 Class Slowly the twinkling globes faded into nothingness. But what was that forming on the speculum? Why, it was Treichlers, and coming from a large building (for the town had grown) were Harold Lentz, Palmer Lentz and Paul Frantz, owners of the United Milling Company. Harold and Palmer were arguing just as they did in their school days, while Paul, the calm, Daid no attention whatsoever to them. When they had disappeared down the road, we noticed that the scene gradually changed into forest land. Then there was seen a cabin in a clearing. Seated before the shack were Carl Schindler, Darrel Hartman, and Jackson Hartman. They were rangers on the Appalachian range. No doubt they were thinking of the time they had handed in themes on The Conservation of Natural Resources. At the present time they helped conserve these resources. (Maybe Darrel chose this vocation because he could chase the bear over the mountains. ) Abruptly the green mountain ridge vanished and in its place came a necropolis. The Reverend Elmer Dech was solemnly conducting obsequies, while Undertaker Crouthamel was nervously rushing to and fro attending to his various duties. This picture became imperceptible, while another rapidly became visible. A glamorous roof-garden was laid out before us. From a fern-banked dias came the haunting strains of Pat'' Snyder's Fantasy Six orchestra. Among the members we saw Carl Shoemaker and Wilfred Farber, saxophonists. As we awaited with anticipation the band's next selection, we were suddenly transferred to reality. But just as swiftly, we were taken to the next scene, that of a large farm. Hustling to the barn were Wilbur Solt and Archie Fehnel, now scientific farmers. They were among the country's most prosperous agrarians. Leaving this peaceful sight we found ourselves looking at a ship in mid-ocean. At the wireless controls was seated Owen Seiger, now operator on the S. S. Europa. Alex Yaremko and Joseph Assed had joined the navy to see the world, but so far all they had seen were James Rinker and John Wolf, assistant officers, who piled all the work possible upon their hapless inferiors. As the vessel slowly disappeared into the blue horizon, we came to the final scene of the prophecy. In a public library were gathered two grade teachers, Mildred Richards (who was talking animately with Max' Goldstein, a department store owner,) and Catherine Rice, the library attendants, Mildred Roush and Viola Michael, and a town pharmacist, Andrew Nachysty. These classmates had all reached their goals through work and perseverence. The light about the speculum dimmed, and at last the revelation came to an end. When we were again accustomed to the darkness of the room, we rose, thanked the priest and hurried down the hill. As we passed through the torii, we saw the setting sun and our day came to an end. Angry fire of setting sun, A sky banked up with clouds,— Alack, this peaceful day is done! —Basho Eleanor Smith Lorraine R. Danner Nelle y. Fluck Carl Schindler Henry Brader Junior CJ ass History In September 1930, with little difficulty, the class of timid sophomores crossed the invisible line into the realm of jolly junior-hood. The Juniors furnished the backbone for the athletic teams. Our Football Coach found excellent material in the persons of Schisler, Schur, Cristof, Lutte, Hall, and Zidiak. Schisler, Lutte, and Crayosky were prominent members of the basketball team, which won second place in the Lehigh Valley League. Our girls, too, deserve a great deal of credit in bringing the Championship Basketball Title to our school. Our representatives were Danner, Newhard, Christman, Mohrey, and Clauser, who no doubt will bring back the bacon ' next year. The Junior Public Speaking Contest, held on the evening of February 19, 1931, revealed the finest dramatic talent in the class of '32'. Prizes were won by Ruth Mohrey, Richard McCarthy, Elinor Herron, and John Molesky. The Juniors were popularly represented in the various organizations— particularly in the Dramatic, German, Radio, and Catering Clubs. Next year, under the welcome title of Seniors we shall endeavor to be the true leaders of the school scholastically, athletically, and socially.

H. S. crowded the Sophomore class, large in number, but small in stature. At its earliest opportunity the Class of 1933 held a meeting for the purpose of electing officers and planning for the ensuing year. Our class members quickly became interested in school activities, especially in athletics. N. H. S. athletics colors were proudly won by Joe Kurey, John Mesics, Howard Dotter, LeRoy Green, Ernest Andrews, Joe Sinkowvitch and Edwin Lutte. In girls basketball, Pauline Danner, Sterla Fritzinger, Harriet Miller, Rose Genovese, Ruth Kutzler and Jessie Campbell excelled. There were also a number of proficient music makers in our class. The orchestra claimed as members: Eleta Rader, Ruth McArthur, Albert Berg, Charles Ben Venutti, William Nicholas and Russell Bilheimer. A trio of Sophomores broke into the cheering squad: Ethel Reinert, Plato Troxell and Granville Koehler who performed very efficiently for beginners. We shall try to make ourselves worthy of Northampton High School by showing our very best spirit as Jolly Juniors’ in 1931-32.

Art C luk Students in the Art Club have artistic temperments sufficiently developed to work conjointly in groups for leather tooling, pastelling, clay modeling and pen and ink work. Each artist chooses to work on a project that suits his ability. The annual spring exhibit displayed wallets, pocketbooks, bill folds and key rings of fancy and plain leather; large posters and pictures; masks; clay images,-pen and ink sketches and cartooning. Unusual talent and artistic ability was developed and supervised by Miss Shive. The Band Honor to the Black and Orange plays the band, flashing their black and orange military uniforms as they march around the football field on Thanksgiving Day — the day of the Catasauqua game. Then too, can anyone doubt their sincerity when they pep the basketball teams on to victory each Friday evening during the winter months? Public performances seem to have few terrors for this fine group of musicians under the capable direction of Mr. Harry Newhard. This was proved beyond question when, on March 17, the group played several selections in the Manhattan Auditorium at the Lehigh Valley Safety Council Show. Boys N Clul? This manly organization started its second year with an increased membership. Under the supervision of Coach Alfred Rundle, this club made considerable progress. Talks on sportsmanship and clean playing were often discussed at the regular meetings. Any boy in the Northampton High School who has earned a varsity letter N either in Football, Basketball or Baseball is eligible to join this club of selected athletes. The members of the club are: Leroy Koehler, Edwin Nause, Harry Shirk, John Wolf, Harold Schissler, Arthur Lutte, Alexander Yaremko, Wallace Schur, Frank Christof, Edwin Lutte, Darrel Hartman, William Goldstein, and Alfred Rundle. OFFICERS President - - - Leroy Koehler Secretary - - Harry Shirk Vice President - Edwin Nause Treasurer - - John Wolfe Catering Cluk Various entertainments of teacher and student parties were assisted by the Catering Club. At their fortnightly meeting dainty lunches were planned and discussed from the standpoint of food value and taste. Flower and crepe paper table favors were made for parties and banquets. Under the guidance of Miss Seidel, our advisor, twenty-four members elected the following officers for the first semester: President, Pearl Strauss,- Vice President, Mary Sutliff; Secretary, Dorothy Lorah, Treasurer, Edna Hower, During the second semester Dorothy Smith, Josephine Clauser, Mildred Seltzer, and Dorothy Guth were chosen as officers. As additional activities the club planned a Domestic Science program and a trip to New York. Commcrcia I Club The Commercial Club, consisting of Commercial students; Senior, Junior, and Sophomore Classes, though comparatively young, has made great progress since its organization. A few outstanding programs during the year included, an illustrated lecture by Mr. Robert Ribble, Public Accountant from Allentown: a dramatized court scene and trial during a club period, and several interesting debates. The Club sponsored two assembly programs with interesting sketches and plays pertaining to the commercial world. Debating Club During the debating season of 1930-31, the Northampton High School debating teams, coached by Mr. Tinckom, challenged the teams from Catasauqua, Nazareth and Pen Argyl High School. The question for the Catasauqua debate, Resolved: that modern advertising is detrimental to the best interests of society, was upheld by the Affirmative. Team composed of William Swallow, Captain,- William Fogelman; lone Bachman and Robert Stewart, Alternate The statement was proved false by the Negative Team whose members were Catherine Rice, Captain,- Helen Fekety; Edward Piervallo; Geraldine Green, Alternate. In the annual Triangular Debate on April 17, Pen Argyl, Nazareth and Northampton debated the questior Resolved: that chain stores are detrimental to the American public. William Swallow, Captain; William Fogelman; Robert Stewart; John Vitushinsky, Alternate, composed the Affirmative team, and Helen Fekety, Captain; Catherine Rice; Eleanor Smith; Geraldine Green, Alternate, the Negative Team. Dramatic C !ut Versatile programs added pleasing features to the Dramatic Club activities of this school year. Through the lively interests of Miss Hagy and Miss Kistler various plays and programs were rendered. The Ghost Story ’ by Booth Tarkington was ably presented by a well-trained cast to an appreciative audience. A pleasing chapel program, consisting of several readings and musical selections, was rendered by Cedar Crest College students who were guests of the Club. At a bi-weekly meeting, Miss Roberta Raker of Allentown demonstrated the proper use of make up for both street and stage.

Activity, a typical characteristic of the French people, has been the outstanding feature of every club meeting. Will any one ever forget the great time we had on our trip to New York City and the visit on board the “lie de France”? Every one will most vividly remember the French as she was spoken at the restaurant, Maison Winter. Dcr Deutsche Verein On September 11, 1930 der Deutsche Verein was organized under the supervision of Miss Hausman. The officers elected to serve throughout the year were: Vorsitzer — Elmer Deck; Vorsitzerprogramm — Lorraine Danner,- Schrift-fuhrer — Kassenwart — Alfred Apple. During the year the programs rendered by the club members made them familiar with German life and customs. Newspaper clippings concerning Germany, German stories, plays, and poems were read. Girls N Gul? The girls' “N club, organized on Friday September 12, 1930, is under the leadership of Miss Helen Pfrom, athletic coach of Northampton Junior and Senior High School. The club studies about the theory and practice of basketball, volley ball and playground baseball. All girls who have won their varsity N’s’ in basketball are eligible. The officers are: President, Mildred Richards; Vice President, Frances Snyder; Treasurer, Mary Danner,- Corresponding Secretary, Nelle Fluck; Secretary, Mary Christman. The numerous club meetings have trained the girls to become leaders in good sportsmanship. Girls Glee Guk Southern Folk Songs, Irish Love Songs ( and Favorite Popular Airs composed some of the material used by the Girls Glee Club during their many rehearsals. With the assistance of the orchestra a cleverly arranged Valentine's Program of musical note was presented. Under the direction of their leader, Miss Laros, an opera, The Governor's Daughter, was given as the main feature of the year. At the Band and Orchestrial Concert the Girls’ Glee Club pleasingly varied the otherwise instrumental program. Senior Class Play It has been said that man is incapable of telling the truth all of the time. But the Seniors have proved through their play, Nothing But The Truth , that it is possible for a man to speak the whole truth for twenty-four hours even under serious difficulties. The success of the production was due to our coaches, Miss Martin and Miss Hagy, and the members of the cast: Edward Piervallo, Mildred Roush, William Swallow, Kathleen Laubach, William Fogelman, Betty Seidel, Alexander Yaremko, Robert Stewart, Helen Fekety, Mary Schwartz and Catherine Rice. Hi-y cu Our Hi-Y Club is a member of the great national Hi-Y, which has representative organizations all over the country. The aim of the Hi-Y. is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character. The Hi-Y emblem is a white cross, signifying purity, in a red triangle, standing for redblooded service and growth in body, mind and spirit. The local club conducts its bi-weekly meetings under the guidance of Mr Smith. Northampton sent the largest number of representatives to the annual Older Boy's Conference” in Easton. The delegates chosen were: Edwin Nause, Malcolm Snyder, Albert lerch, Elvin Crothamel, Edward Piervallo, Jackson Hartman, Carl Shindler, LeRoy Koehler, and Arthur Lutte. The officers of the club are: President, Edwin Nause,- Vice President, Malcolm Snyder, Secretary, Albert Lerch,- Treasurer, Elvin Crothamel. Junior Oratorical k ontest The Junior Class was in the limelight on Thursday evening, February 19, 1931, when eight members contested for honors in the fifth annual speaking contest in the auditorium of the High School. A formal, dignified atmosphere enabled each speaker to present an inspirational subject carefully prepared under the instruction of Miss Kistler of the High School Faculty. The eight speakers and their selections were as follows: Harold Schisler{ Philips Brooks, Eleanor Herron, The Sin of the Bishop of Modenstine; Harold Strohl, Scene from Cyrono De Bergerac, Thelma Stoneburner, Sign of the Cross, John Molesky, “The Keys to Success ' Ruth Mohrey, The Unbeliever ' Richard McCarty, Monsieur Boncaire ' S.

Royer, was won by Eleanor Herron. To Richard McCarty was awarded the first prize of $10.00, donated by the N. H. S. Alumni, and the second prize, donated by H. A. Miller, was awarded to John Molesky. The contest judges were Miss Margaret Durkin, English Department Cedar Crest College, Mr. William Shetlock, Principal of Whitehall school; and Mr. Ralph Brown, English Department, Catasauqua High School. The Kodak KU One of the most recently organized activities in the High School owes its success chieHy to the practical instruction of it’s faculty advisor, Mr. Smith. With a definite aim in view that of learning the art of photography , the club spent a great deal of time in actually developing and printing pictures. However, all the members fully realize the fact that the first year of any type of work is only a beginning and that limitless achievement lies in the future. The presiding officers for the year were: Leo Santee, President; Evelyn Dute, Vice President; Charles Ben Venutti, Secretary; Janice Hall, Treasurer. Library Committee The Library Key is a publication issued by the Library Committee of both Junior and Senior High Schools. As an active Club it has definitely aided library instruction and reference during school hours. Organized for the term 1930-31 and supervised by Miss H. Hunsberger the club has accomplished much by conveying interests of a library to students. Proud of their achievement, the Committee looks forward to continuing excellent work. Its officers are: President, Catherine Rinker,- Secretary, Catherine Rupp; Vice-President, Robert Stewart; Treasurer, Ethel Gorsline. Music C lut Terpsicordia, goddess of music, has been recently honored by the members of the Senior High School Music Club, familiarly known as Terpsicordians. Miss Lillian Laros, musical supervisor, has instructed the members in the practical art of successfully leading group singing. Various chapel programs during the school months were unified by the connecting links of musical entertainment between features. Particularly at Thanksgiving time was recognition given to the Terpsicordians who presented Turkey Red, a short playlet, in a very finished fashion. At Christmas time, the girls carolled in the old fashioned way from house to house thru out the town. Kathryn Scoble is President of the Terpsicordian Club, Betty Smith, Vice President; Lucille Deibert, Secretary; and Esther Rosenburg, Treasurer. National Honor Society Membership of this most important of national or9anizations is based upon the principle of scholarship, service, worthy leadership and character. The members are: Andrew Nachysty, Nelle Fluck, Catherine Rice, Grace Oplinger, Helen Fekety, Lorraine Danner, William Swallow, John Wolf, John Vitushinslcy and Edward Piervallo. During the winter months a tinge of variety was given to the meetings by members of the faculty who expressed their personal views on the subject of possible vocations open to High School graduates. Everyone awaited anxiously the June banquet, held each year for the purpose of establishing an acquaintance between present and former members of the National Honor Society. Newspaper Cluk All students of the High School are familiar with the ’’Concrete Courier, a monthly publication of school interests and activities. A well-chosen staff pioneered a way through opposition to sell the new idea of needing a school paper. With each successive edition readers gathered information to uphold the purpose of school news, to arouse spirit, to unify and promote school activities co-operatively. Orcli estra The N. H. S. orchestra has a total enrollment of 32 musicians, members principally of Senior High School. However, a number of promising J. H. S. violinists practise faithfully with their older schoolmates and also frequently play in public performances. On May 27, 1931, an excellent program of music was rendered at a joint concert by the orchestra, band, and Glee Club. The N. H.

Radio L luk The Radio Club has a total membership of 37 high school boys who are interested in Mr. Fegely's avocation, electricity. During the first semester most of the work was confined to laboratory experiments, wiring up instruments, demonstrating them and developing important details. On Friday, January 21, the Radio Club held its Chapel program, featuring a presentation of Amos n' Andy and a complete radio entertainment with a special announcer. The second semester was devoted to selecting and classifying magazine articles for discussion purposes. Senior Oirl Reserves The International Girl Reserve organization has as its emblem the blue triangle, symbolic of its three fold purpose: to develope the physical, mental and spiritual characters of girls all over the world. The Senior Girl Reserve Club of N. H. S engaged in a wide range of activities: doggie roasts, hikes, taffy pulls, benefit shows, plays, a camping trip, and a sewing party for the purpose of making clothes for poor children at Christmas time.

The excellent spirit shown by the student body throughout the year has been sincerely appreciated by the Council whose officers are: Edward Piervallo, President; Nelle Fluck, Vice President; Catherine Rice, Secretary; Margaret Hess, Treasurer. If only noiseless they would go, The herons flying across the sky. Were but a line of snow.” F ootball LOOKING forward to a successful Football season, Coach Rundle issued an early call for candidates. Out of the forty-five that responded eight were lettermen, and the rest had little or no experience. With this handicap Coach Rundle managed, ably assisted by Dick Newcomer, former Ursinus star, to mould a team together. Night after night that thud of the pigskin was heard on the gridiron as N. H. S. drilled in preparation for our first game with Pen Argyl. Then a few days before our game with Pen Argyl, the unexpected happened. Due to a new ruling by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Goldstein, Hartman and Shirk, from whom we expected much, were declared ineligible and to make our prospects still darker, injuries took a heavy toll. The injured were, Captain Wolf, E. Lutte, Pontician and Schur. All but Wolf, who experienced a bad knee injury, saw service in the remaining games of the season. Our season opened with Pen Argyl at home. The team that carried the Black and Orange colors was the lightest team to ever represent N. H. S. However, weight did not interfere for we managed on a Pen Argyl misplay to score a safety( which proved to be a margin of victory for the game, the score 2-0 favor of N. H. S. With one victory tucked away the Coaches proceeded to strengthen weak points and iron out the rough spots in preparation for our next game with Quaker-town. We had things our own way, scoring almost at will with the line displaying giant strength in shattering and opening big holes in our opponents line. The fracas ended, Quakertown 0, N. H. S. 25. Then came our first league game with Lehighton on the Lehighton held. At the opening whistle N. H. S. started off like a whirl wind and carried the oval down to the goal line only to loose it on a fumble. Several times we placed the ball in a scoring position, but to no avail. These misplays proved costly, for Lehighton started their march up the field and tallied three touchdowns to our lone one, the final score standing 20-7 favor of Lehighton. The following Saturday saw the N. H. S. team score an impressive 34-0 victory over a scrappy Whitehall team to get back into league running. We continued to hold a good position by eking out an unimpressive 12-0 victory at Emaus. We now prepared for our second biggest contest—Stroudsburg at Stroudsburg. The Coaches drilled the teams long and hard. Some of the injured players E. Lutte, Schur and Pontician, who had recovered, were back in the line up and our hopes brightened. We were pitted against height and weight. We lost several opportunities to score, the pigskin often being in scoring distance, but we lacked the punch to shove it over the line. This again proved fatal to N. H. S. for in the last few minutes to play, Stroudsburg scored a touchdown on a blocked kick. The game ended shortly with Stroudsburg on the long end, 7-0. On the next Saturday, we jumped back into the winning column by defeating Coplay, 7-6. It was not until the last quarter that the team came to life, scoring a rapid touchdown on a pass to Nause, while Pontician added the extra point. N. H. S. had again come out on top. Being dissatisfied with the showing N. H. S. had made against Coplay, our Coaches worked the players harder than ever for our game with Nazareth. It was a cold rainy Saturday. The field was a quagmire of mud. The Black and Orange, through hard and fast playing, managed to score an impressive 6-0 victory over a stubborn, fighting Nazareth team. The line score came in the period when G. Hall recovered a Nazareth fumble over the goal line. The final score was N. H. S. 6, Nazareth 0. Football (Cont'd) Then came our biggest game of the season played at the Allentown High Stadium. With almost a week and a half for practice, the Coaches pushed the players to the limit as upon the outcome of this game rested the league pennant. To bring about more interest in the game, a monstrous pep meeting was held in the High School Auditorium a day before the game. In order to put more spirit into the boys, the Ampton Club tendered the team a banquet. Thanksgiving day dawned clear and cold. One of the biggest crowds every to witness a Northampton-Catty football game was present. After putting up a gallant stand N. H. S. finally submitted, Catty winning 19-0. Great tribute must be paid to the Coaches Rundle and Newcomer for their splendid work and patient leadership. To Mr. Smith is due much credit for his ability in handling financial affairs. To the team, for their loyalty and co-operation on and off the gridiron, must go the honor and respect of all who witnessed the various games. The only players to be lost through graduation are, Erdosy, Koehler, Pontician, and Yaremko, backs, and E. Nause, end. Indications point to a championship team for next season. N. H. S. will have ten lettermen back, namely: A. Lutte, Messics, Zidack, Christof, Stenack, Miller and G. Hall in the line and E. Lutte, Schur, Schisler in the back field.

But even so, six out of nine games were won. The varsity eleven included as ends, A. Lutte and E. Nause. Flick’s all around playing and Eddie's’’ ability to catch passes made them an invaluable asset to the team. Christof and Seyer held down the tackle positions. Frankie’s consistence in breaking up the opponents’ plays is to be remarked upon, while Stevie , aided by his size, played a good defensive game. The guards were Messics and Kurey Pep and Joe were the two smallest men on the team but they nevertheless did much in stopping line plunges and giving interference to the backfield. The pivot position was ably handled by G. Hall; who, although lacking experience, played a good game, passing and backing up the line like a veteran. In the backfield A. Erdosy held down the quarter-back position. Rosebud was a capable field general, keeping the team running smoothly through defeat or victory. The half-backs Koehler and Schisler both played fine ball on the offense and defense, Flash taking the pig skin for long runs, as Fats smashed through the line. Schur who played full back, was of great value to the team because of his punting ability and his defensive play. Much credit must also be given to the second team, for they courageously filled in vacancies made on the varsity eleven. The ends, Stenach and Dotter, did well for their first year on the gridiron. R. Lahuta and Miller, playing tackle, made a good showing for themselves while the guards Shoemaker and Hluschak also made good starts. L. Lahuta, although light and unexperienced, looks like a future center. The backfield, which helped out in many a critical moment, included E. Lutte who showed up fine at quarterback. Zidiack and Yaremko the half backs, ran the ball with uncanny speed, while Pontician at full back, gave a good account of himself both at practice and in the games. Last but not least, are the fellows who stood the gaff and took it on the chin in order to play football and to help the team in every way possible. The personnel of this group is: Andrews, Kromer, Brader, K. Hall, Fakla, Powers, Heckman, Vitushinsky, Molesky, Bilheimer, Rinker, Evans, Stanz, Horo-dinsky and Sienkevich. Review of Basketball Season The prospects of the basketball team for a successful season were considerably brighter this year. Coach Al” Rundle, having four players from last years team back again as well as plenty of new material, immediately set about to drill the team which made a good showing, winning ten games and losing five to take the runner-up position in the Lenigh Valley Inter-Scholastic League. The first game saw the High School triumph over an Alumni outfit composed of such ex-High School stars as 'Mike'' Newhard, Hen Rabenold, Croak Lutte, Walt” Kutzler, Morri Beers, Stevie Lisetski, Len Thomas, Alec Bibighaus, and Peanuts” and Bones Riter. The score was 43-18. The Black and Orange auintet then got off to a flying start in the league by defeating the Lehighton Hi dribblers 26-19 and the following week sinking the Slatington Hi passers by a 26-14 score. The local crew after the Christmas holidays lost some of their fast-going stride and lost a tough one to Catasauqua, 34-26. The next week found the Northampton Hi quintet back in form when they easily defeated Whitehall Hi, 27-10. The locals displayed a flashy offense and a tight defense. Northampton lost its chance at the league leadership when the Palmerton Hi passers defeated them in a close 23-18 game. Several days later Emaus Hi took a lacing from the Konkrete dribblers by the score of 40-18. In a non-league game the Nazareth Hi five lost a 39-22 decision to the locals. The first half of the season ended as Stroudsburg Hi nosed out the Black and Orange dribblers by a 20-17 score in the last minute of play. A disputed referee’s decision gave the Mountaineers a free throw which broke a 17-17 tie, after some fast and furious playing. In starting the second half of the season Lehighton Hi found themselves on the short end of a 31-16 score and the following week saw Northampton take a 26-25 decision at the expense of Slatington Hi. Both teams played classy ball, but the local crew, finding it profitable to play till the final whistle, dropped the ball through the meshes in the last ten seconds of play to win the contest. In one of the most important games of the season the Northampton Hi quintet topped their old rivals, Catasauqua, by a 27-25 score. The local crew's lead throughout the game proved to be too much for the Iron Borough boys. A few days later, in another game which afforded plenty of thrills, Whitehall Hi lost a close 19-18 decision to the Black and Orange passers, the winning goal being made in the last minute from mid-court. The Cement town boys then suffered their first reverse in six games when the undefeated Palmerton Hi crew took them under by a 33-15 score The locals again found their stride when a scrappy Emaus Hi quintet lost a 34-16 game. Review of Basketball Season (Corn'd) At this time the team was doubly handicapped. Coach Rundle was no1 on the players bench due to sickness and Pauly Frantz was on the sidelines with a knee injury that he received in the Whitehall same. Art Youns, former Northampton Hi and Ursinus College athlete, had charge of the boys during the absence of Al. The last game of the season Northampton unsuccessfully battled the Stroudsburg Hi team to an 18-16 score. The two teams ending up in a dead-lock for second place. In a post season game the Black and Orange crew won a close 25-21 decision over Nazareth Hi. The play-off with Stroudsburg was played in the Palmerton Hi gym. Pauly Frantz was back in the line up and Coach Al was again on the bench. From the starting whistle the fans saw the real Koncrete Kids in action. With a scoring offense and an air-tight defense the local quintet outplayed and outscored the Mountaineers to win by a 33-17 score. This game, ending up the 30-31 season, saw Northampton occupying second place in the Lehigh Valley League. Basketball Squad Little Paul Frantz, who played nice ball all season getting the tap most of the time as well as playing a close defensive game, held down the center position. We found out his real value when he was injured and realize that he will be missed when he graduates. We had the honor to possess on our team the leading scorer of the league, LeRoy Koehler, who played a flashy forward position. His accurate shooting and ability to play any position made him a valuable asset to the team. Flash will also graduate in June. A small but fast and fighting basketeer is Albert Lerch who shared the forward position with Arthur Lutte. His speed on the court as well as his ability to sink them through the meshes made him a real offensive threat. Albie will also be lost through graduation. Arthur Lutte, Lerch's co-forward, played with all the marks of a great player. Flick worked hard with his teammates to do much in the scoring end of the game as well as playing a good defensive. Only success awaits him next year. The heavy member of the team, Harold Schisler, held down a guard position. Sonny” specialized in long shots and gave the crowd many a thrill. His defensive work, which was of the best, did much to keep the opponents' scores low. Here's luck to him next year. Our veteran guard, John Wolf, played good ball all season. Whitey consistently dribbled through the opposing teams while his guarding was air-tight. His one bad habit was to leave the game before it was over via the personal foul route. We regret that he also graduates in June. Albert Erdosy, a substitute guard, gave a good account of himself in several games. This is Rosebud’s” last year at N. H. S. Long” John Crayosky, who played in a number of the games, showed himself a capable contender for the center position next year. Eddie” Lutte, a sophomore, substituted at the forward position and shows great promise of being a star in later years. Another sophomore, Joe Kush, gave an account of himself on the court and looks like a promising guard. A sophomore quintet composed of Dotter, Greene, Weiner, Sienkevitz, and Andrews should also afford some good future material. On the Court 1930 1931 The N. H. S. girls' basketball squad has for the second consecutive season annexed the Lehigh Valley Interscholastic circuit championship. During the past season it was proved that not only were the players on the offensive, but on the defensive, 761 points having been scored against opponents who were held to 356 markers. Without a doubt the squad will put in a snappy bid for the coming season’s crown, as only two players are being lost through graduation. Only through the painstaking work of our coach, Miss Helen Pfrom, was it possible to come out at the top. Without her constant encouragement and kindly judgment, the team would indeed have floundered. Miss Pfrom, a resident of Slatington, Pennsylvania, received her B. S. in Health Education at Stroudsburg State Teachers' College, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1928. Also to Mr. Ralph F. Smith, secretary of the Lehigh Valley league, and our faculty manager, do we owe heartfelt thanks for splendid support during the 1930-1931 season. Our skillful guards, Ruth Mohrey and Carolyn Newhard have indeed worked hard and successfully to earn their basketball N s. Due credit must be paid them for stopping' the forwards on opposing teams. Our two clever forwards, Nelle Fluck, Captain 1930-1931, and Mary Christman, have made a splendid record for themselves on the varsity team this year. It was a treat to see these forwards play together. Their passing was fascinating and their ability to dribble and shoot was far above that of any other forwards in the Lehigh Valley league. Mary will be back with us next year, but Nelle has played her last game at Northampton High. Our heartiest wishes go with her in her life work. We must also not forget Frances Snyder who worked very hard this year to earn her N . She will be Mary's partner next year. Mary Danner, our center and Josephine Clauser, side center, have passed tirelessly around their opponents, contributing toward the success of N. H. S. The Personnel would not be complete without including our loyal and commendable substitutes: Ohotski, Smith, Spangler, Prentice, Fritzinger, Miller, F. Gorsline, E. Gorsline, Stroh, Kutzler, Campbell, Genovese, and Pauline Danner.

Can any one deny this great American sport to a young American boy? Well, it didn't stop N. H. S. for baseball candidates — thirty-three rarin’ to go' candidates reported. After making a survey Coach Rundle found he had only four letter men — Koehler, pitcher,- Schur, catcher,- A. Lutte, second base; Schisler, utility man — to start N. H. S. on its fourth consecutive league championship. These men formed the nucleus of Coach Rundle’s 1931 team. Night after night the boys went through drilling and workouts to prepare for league games. We were fortunate enough to have four players back who had previous varsity experience: Rinker, Stenach, Zidiack and Pontician. Among the rest of the candidates who showed promise of obtaining a varsity berth were: Christof, outfield; Lerch, outfield and pitcher; E. Lutte, outfield and Stanz, outfield. The remaining candidates who showed improvement were: Sienkevitz, Hordinsky, Deibert, Hluschak, Dotter, Fehnel, Crouthamel, Lockay, Gilli, Shoemaker, Ebner, Kush, McCarty, Lahuta, Yaremko, Evans and Brinkman.

Alumni Notes The Northampton High School Alumni Organization, an ever living body of Northampton High, was again very active the past year. As all organizations should be, our Alumni Association was alive and ready to go forward. Opening our happy year together, the executive committee, on the evening of September 29th, held its first card party in the High School. This brought our merry group together again with the aim of Work for the coming year, as our motto. Striving, and at the same time deriving pleasure from it, we again looked forward to our two big events of the year, the annual banquet and the Rodger Production. These two affairs, through the united efforts of the members, proved to be living factors in the history of the Northampton High Alumni Association for the year 1931. Rodger Production On Wednesday and Thursday nights, February 25th and 26th 1931, the Alumni Association presented Princess Bonnie, a John B. Rodger's production, in the High School Auditorium. The musical comedy was produced under the direction of Mr. Alfred Peters with the help of Miss Beatrice Young, accompanist. The play was a huge success and certainly proved worthwhile to its audiences.
