Senior High Edition The Amptennian of 1934 r tdited and printed by members of the Senior Class of 1934, who this year hail Pennsylvania’s hundredth anniversary of her maker of men and women, the public school. Volume Twenty The Northampton High School To A true friend of youth; A disciple of the furtherance of physical perfection; Our coach, teacher, and companion, Francis R. Hoffman We, the class of 1934, dedicate this Amptennian FRANCIS R. HOFFMAN CONTENTS Dedication Foreword Greetings Faculty Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Alumni Athletics Activities FIumor Acknowledgements Advertisements FOREWORD HE School; a mighty word, a mighty name, a mighty cause With meaning far more mighty than six letters can imply; We look at it, we stop to think, in reverence we pause In memory of those heroes, who tradition did defy That we the joys of education would not be denied. First ’twas the quaint red schoolhouse, with its hell, a quaint old chime, Where readin’, ’ritin’, ’rithmetic taught men the power to think; Then slowly education did the steps of progress climb, To force the age of ignorance beyond oblivion’s brink To render her creator’s dream a hundred times surpassed, A city made for us within four walls, Wherein each phase of life we meet is taught and wrought and classed To make for better service when life calls. Thus doth the class of ’34 resolve A Century of Progress rightly hail; The hundredth anniversary of the public school, The greatest gift to youth, who must not fail To keep the torch aloft, to make our golden rule: Though nation crumble, races fall, yet education ne’er shall halt ! C. L. Y. (HE year 1934 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of free public schools in Pennsylvania. This is a (treat landmark in the history of our state. The Class of 1934 has done well to make the celebration of this important event the theme of its Amptennian. It is doubly appropriate since our own locality was the birthplace of George Wolf, who might properly be called the founder of public education in Pennsylvania. Wolf was an educated man and held a number of important offices but his crowning achievement was the strength and force with which he urged in his messages as Governor of the Commonwealth the establishment of a system of public education for Pennsylvania. James Buchanan wrote: If ever the passion of envy could be excused a man ambitious of true glory, he might almost be justified in envying the fame of that favored individual whoever he may be whom Providence intends to make the instrument in establishing common schools throughout the Commonwealth. ” Providence selected George Wolf, a native of our own locality. The Free School Act was passed on April 1, 1834 and signed by Governor Wolf, thereby sacrificing his political future. He was thus the founder and first martyr of public education in Pennsylvania. The great service which Wolf performed is not generally known, even in our own Community. It is, therefore, most appropriate that the Class of 1934 make known, through its Yearbook and Commencement, the great and lasting achievement of George Wolf to the cause of public education and to human progress generally. G. A. Eichler, Superintendent GEORGE A. EICHLER, Superintendent IT IS very fitting for the class of 1934 to use as their theme for the Amptennian, Public School Education,” because one hundred years ago, Governor Wolf and his co-workers realized the great value of an education and that only the wealthy could have it at that time. If it was good for the rich, it must be good for the poor, so education was made possible for all in 1834. Our own Northampton County was the nucleus of this great movement. After school--what? That is the question which confronts each high school student, especially when he nears the end of his high school course. It is a question which each must decide for himself. But, after you have been introduced to the world by school and other experiences, when the time comes to decide, it ought not to be hard to choose for yourself a life work which you will enjoy and which will be of service. 1 believe that two important elements of a successful life are the pleasure it gives you and the good it renders to others. There are many opportunities, many positions, little or big, in which alive person can be of real value to humanity, and it matters little, it seems to me, which one a person chooses, as long as it is useful, honorable, and offers a chance for the full development of your faculties. But whatever be your choice, we need to remember that the chief requisites to success are the old-fashioned virtues - - accuracy, promptness, fidelity, acceptance of responsibility - - the virtues which are so often marked as out of date. Without them you cannot climb to success. Best wishes from your Principal. I. L. Sheaffer IRA L. SHEAFFER $linWater Honor to the Black and Orange!

As tackle on the football team, he made the opposing players feel like ants, due to his enormous personage. “Schmuggie” had the honor of averting a whitewash against Catasauqua, when he turned a blocked kick into a touchdown. If he dominates us in life as he surpasses us physically, Mike will some day be ruler of the world. General Course. Football, Basketball. IRENE FEKETY 2154 Laubach Avenue Irene” For all that fair is, is by nature good; That is a sign to know the gentle blood. —Spenser “Rational Irene,” one of the most level-headed girls of our class, distinctly possesses a unique charm. Here’s is an appealing personality that makes you want to confide in her, but there is equally a mirthful jovial side. She favorably impresses you with her voice-a cultured, well modulated one. When the mood overtakes her she reads classics and glories in their revelations, or breathes in the beauties of nature. All these intimate feelings she hides beneath a cool reserve. She hopes to enter the nursing profession, and with these traits we do not doubt that she will succeed. General Course. Dramatic Club, Music Club, Newspaper Staff. KENNETH OBERHOLTZER 2152 Washington Avenue “Clark Gable” Of sleep forsaken, to relieve his care, He sought the conversation of the fair. —Dryton Hiding beneath that veneer of wit and humor, which gives many indications of his restless energy, is a more serious determination to work for the betterment of the world, even though at times he has been referred to as “Rip Van Winkle of 1934”. Kenneth’s rooting for the home team, playing in the band and orchestra, and acting as usher on important occasions stabilize his loyalty to the class. Although he has an ear for music, he never seems to hear the alarm—what else could detain him.7 We are sure that a secret ambition of his will reveal itself soon. Commercial Course. Band, Orchestra, Hi-Y. JOSEPH SEKO Joe 2277 Main Street Allow me such exercises as may become a gentleman. —Shakespeare Look whom we have here! Of course you know him. Everyone does. Joe has always been popular because of his athletic ability. The cheering of the crowds from the basketball stands or surrounding the baseball diamond are familiar sounds to him. How well many of us recall the joy of victory which was greatly attributed to Joe’s sinking of shots from all angles of the court, and then remember him as baseball captain! As for studies, Joe has successfully negotiated his school career, and we know that this same easy going manner of his will bring results. Commercial Course. Baseball, Basketball, Music Club, Art Club. HELEN M. KUTZLER “Kutzler 1240 Newport Avenue A friend more divine that all divinities! —Moore Here we have a girl full of tun, pep, and laughter. Do you wonder why we think so much of our Kutzler? She has a sunshiny disposition and a welcome smile. During her high school years Helen has distinguished herself in basketball, being a first rate center. Besides her athletic attributes, Helen is also a hard working student, always ready and willing to help classmates in difficulty. May you in the future spread sunshine wherever you go, and make the world a bright and happy place to live in. The best of luck to you, Helen. Commercial Course.

He knew the fields and woodland ways, And deemed thy humblest son his brother. —Stedman Although it is rumored that Clarence has no special liking for formal book knowledge, he surely is a student of nature. Whenever he takes real interest in work, it is sure to be done well, as shown by the fine work he accomplished during his leisure mom-entson the farm, in connection with 4-H projects and other hobbies. His greatest enjoyment seems to be driving the Ford” over the country roads in the vicinity of his home. Clarence does not need to fear for the future, since his cheery disposition alone will take him far in life. General Course. Printing Club, Kodak Club, Electric Club. JOHN REGEC 157 Main Street '‘Regec’’ The gentleman is learned, and a most rare speaker. — Shakespeare Six feet of young manhood, topped by a fair head and a smiling countenance. There you have John, a regular fellow if there ever was one. A drawling voice, friendliness, and a personality entirely his own, help to make John one of the best liked Senior boys. He can congregate his thoughts into words, being a first-rate debator. Nothing seems to perturb his cheerful disposition and Johnie is always a welcome member at all gatherings. With his winning ways and delightful personality, Regec will continue successfully in life, just as he has now. Commercial Course.

LAUBACH 2006 Washington Avenue “Christine” A perfect uwnan, nobly planned To warn, to comfort, and command. —Wordsworth “Child of Minerva—akin to Orpheus —blessed with the ability to gain knowledge and interpret music. Her able leadership can be acknowledged by her commanding and reserved personality, and her ability to deftly handle any situation with precision. Christine has pioneered through many activities, winning the respect and admiration of her associates. She has steadied the course of the Girl Reserves by her position as president, and has been a boon to the orchestra as pianist. As a result of her zealous studying she has attained the top notch in scholarship. Whatever college she enters is ready to receive her with all these achievements. Academic Course.

Mike is the hap-pv-go-luckv fellow of the Senior Class, who takes life just as it comes and never worries about what’s going to happen tomorrow. Although Mike hails from Kreidersville, in his four years with us has made a host of friends. One can always depend on him for a favor. In addition, Mike is a good student, a hard worker always ready to lend a hand in all activities. With all these fine traits, we feel sure only success awaits him in the future. General Course.

Scarce from her lips the word had rushed When deep the conscious maiden blushed. —Scott Petite and dainty — a mere wisp of a damsel who hails from Danielsville. Kathleen has won many friends and ardent admirers in high school with her sunny temperament. Though she did not participate in extra-curricular activities, she rooted convincingly at many games. Sis” rides to school with her brother, which reveals her eagerness for education. Kathleen has mapped out dental hygiene work as her career, and with the recommendation we received from Danielsville, we feel she will endeavor to succeed. She chose Temple as her goal of ambition.

JOHN STEPHEN RADAKOVITZ “Doc” 448 East 9th Street Shall we rouse the night owl in a catch That will draw three souls out of one weaver! —Shakespeare With the graduating of “Docky goes one of our foremost athletes. Possessing extraordinary athletic ability, John captained our football team, played guard on the basketball five, and first base on the baseball nine. He possesses a remarkable physique, is of a jovial disposition, and makes friends readily, which labels him as quite an attraction for the fairer sex. But, seriously thinking, John has excelled in scholarship and leadership, for we all know he is none the ordinary in many a phase of school life.

Her winning ways and lovely personality have captivated every one she met. Rather reserved, Helen is gifted in the art of gaining a deep understanding from poetry and other classics, and can certainly put beautiful thoughts into words, whether poetry or prose. She has revealed an interest in nursing, and we know that her thorough understanding of situations will certainly mean success. In spite of misfortunes we hope she will still retain her cheery smile and greeting to her many friends. Academic Course. Girl Reserves, Student Council, National Honor Society, Girl Shy. PAUL L. GABLE Route 1, Walnutport, Pa. “Gable Little say I, but when I talk 'Tis to my closer friends, or not at all. —Clyde Here is another of those welcomed additions to our class, who finished their first three years at Berlinsville. Yet in a year, Paul has made close friends of many. He is athletically inclined, particularly in baseball and basketball. Neither rash in his actions, nor talkative in class is Paul, but at noon he is generally talking with one of the girls from Treichlers. But what this means we cannot say. As to Paul’s future, another uncertainty arises. However let us say that for him to be successful is no impossibility, so may the possibility be a reality. Academic Course. THALIA V. YEHL 217 East 21st Street “Lefty And well she kept her genial mood And simple faith of maidenhood. —Whittier Thalia is one of the in-between type, moderately possessed with pleasing traits and a keen sense cf humor that gives vent in telling comical stories. Some of her leisure time is spent dancing, preparing lessons (for football players), and analyzing people. When a mood overtakes her she can apply herself to her studies diligently, and give a complete recitation. She plans to spend several months in reparation for beautifying the human race. With her zealous endeavor and interest, beauty, and culture, we hope she will have kind fate and Lady Luck as companions. General Coursz. Sewing Club, Glee Club, Catering Club, Library Club. CARL GRESSLER 1722 Main Street “Pop In ourselves our fortune lies; Life is what we make it. —Westlake Happy-go-lucky sans worry, letting the rest of the world go by. Carl can be seen entertaining the fairer sex by relating original stories, purely from a higher imaginative mind. By his endeavor to play football we can recognize his loyalty to the school, even if he “warmed the bench” occasionally. With his prospect on life, he will outstride ill luck and never travel “with an evasion.” Carl’s capricious attitude and continual antics in the classroom have never ceased to distress his teachers. Nevertheless, the class hopes for his success in the future. Commercial Course. Football, Glee Club, Commercial Club Sportsmen’s Club. JOSEPH HUMENIK “Tiny” 2396 Washington Avenue If music be the food of love, Play on, and on, and on! —Shakespeare Here is quite a prominent Senior, both physically and otherwise. Joe does not seriously object to the tricks and jokes played on him by his classmates. Yet, with his cheery nature, he carries a burden — an excess of avoirdupois, for Joe is none of the slim mest. He does well in his studies, and is interested in music, for the well known oom-pah of his base horn swells above the band and orchestra. It is unknown for Joe to take any special interest in the fairer sex, but who knows what may happen, for he changed considerably from the bashful boy he was upon entering school. Commercial Course.

Instead they see a laughing, carefree girl whose more serious side can be revealed by an intimate friendship with her. Ctherwise she is a jolly good sport. Reading, sewing, and dancing take up her leisure hours. Marie has cultivated friends in school as well as in Laurys, making a specialty of males. She has given us very little opportunity to put anything over on her, and you suffer the consequences. Despite the fact that she has not definitely decided on a career, we know her earnestness will help her succeed. Commercial Course. Glee Club, Catering Club, Dramatic Club. JOHN J. DORNBACH “Johnny” Route 2, Bath, Pa. Where grows it not! If tain our toil? We ought to blame the culture, not the soil. —Pope Appealing indifference makes John an interesting student who would rather listen than talk. His honest endeavor to gain knowledge marks him as a worthy classman who greets his associates with a slow smile. During his high school years, some of that shyness has worn off which gave way to pronounced initiative. John drives a mighty (green?) chariot to and from school, but it is all for one half of a worthy cause which brother “Jake” shares. He has not yet decided definitely upon his career, but he hopes to use his achievements in achieving success. General Course. Sportsmen’s Club, Science Club, Woodwork Club. PAUL EMIL HALL 1636 Washington Avenue “Skinny” Rare compound of oddity, frolic, and fun. —Goldsmith Let’s stop to consider our friend “Skinny” fora moment. Paul is one of those several late-comers who practically never come to school on time. He is rather reserved in many ways, and when the weaker sex is concerned, he is very reserved. During his spare moments he favors a habitat at “Seier’s.” Paul is a very active Hi-Y member, serving as treasurer of the club. As with girls, he bothers little about sports. Paul’s future career is undecided at present, but with his hopes and aspirations go our best wishes for health, wealth, and happiness. General Course. Kodak Club, Hi-Y. GLADYS SCHOLL 335 East 10th Street “Gladys” Silence is the perfect herald of joy ; I were hut little happy if I could say how much. —Shakespeare “I believe that silence is golden,” spoke a small, shy lass, who is always ready to meet her classmates with a smile. She possesses the qualities of honesty, punctuality, and kindness, and performs every task assigned cheerfully without complaint. Although she does not join in a mirthful crowd, Gladys can truly recognize a humorous situation. A steadfast commercial student is she, whose attitude in class is a pleasure to teachers. Gladys has not yet determined what line of activity she will engage in, but whatever it is we readily yield her success and fortune. Commercial Course. Sewing Club, Catering Club, Glee Club. RENNARD SUTL1FF Route 2, Northampton, Pa. “Foxy” In ourselves our fortune lies; Life is what we make it. —Westlake Friends, here we have none other than the man who made his echoes mourn. Rennard is one of the few who are not afraid to get rid of excess energy by throwing erasers. When it comes to studying, he can be seen concentrating on the physical sciences. He is an ardent admirer ot Mother Nature, and so has made good use of his leisure moments by taking romances into the Seemsville and surrounding forests. “Foxy’s” modest ambition, good will, and cheerfulness has made him a triend of all. Wishing him success and iuck, let us say, “Aufwiedersehen.” General Course. Sportsmen’s Club, Woodwork Club. CHARLES POTAK “Panko” 1734 Newport Avenue You talk to me in parables, You may have knoun that I am no wordy man. —Otway Ambition in person. This young chap forsakes the pleasures of a warm bed about five o’clock in the morning to take a round of his traps. Charlie is very keen about trapping and hopes to go at it in a big way some day. He does things well or not at all, which is probably why he never contributes much shorthand homework. He is quite a quiet lad, but when serious-mindedness overtakes him, he enters a discussion which proves he is quite well versed. Regardless of what he does, success seems due him. Commercial Course.

Frank was a star end on the Black and Orange eleven and a shortstop on the baseball nine. He isone of those fellows who keeps the majority of their thoughts to themselves. But out of school, we find him quite the normal person, who has no objections to associating himself with the fairer sex.

To two Former Senior Classmates: Besides the foregoing eighty-six Seniors, two others who left our ranks during the year are worthy of mention. Lester Miller, a husky lad from Petersville, left our Alma Mater in November to enroll at Nazareth. “Les” will be remembered by his jovial and fun-loving characteristics. Louis Frisch, our star athlete, discontinued his school career last November to make his way in life. “Frischie” earned himself a berth on all three of our teams. May health, wealth, and happiness be with them, together with memories of the hours they spent with us. CLASS HISTORY ENIORS! Were it only possible to remain as such. We are just beginning to enjoy the importance and wonderful feeling of this lofty state, but then we realize our time is limited and that we will soon leave our Alma Mater. In 1931 our class entered Senior High School with an enrollment of one hundred six students. We will ever remember how nervous we were, fearing constant watching by our upper-classmen, but soon overcoming this fear as time passed, we became acquainted with all the students and took part in all activities. During the three years that followed, eighteen students left school to find their way in life without having a complete high school education. Of all those who remained, some showed splendid ability in sports, excelling in football, basketball, and baseball, with a result that our class was well represented in each. Other classmates who were interested in social activities showed ability in plays, debates, and clubs, while the musicians of our class devoted their time to the orchestra and band. Now we have reached the highest peak of education that can be attained in high school, but we cannot leave school without saying: N. H. S. has grown under our very eyes, we feel a part of it; we take pride in it; it is our heritage, and the class of 1934 pledges its loyalty to those ideals for which it stands. —Merle Kostenbader CLASS WILL IT SO happens in the course ot human events, undertakings, incidents, contingencies, etc., that we, the insurmountable, impecunious, intolerable class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-four have existed through three years of high school life with much toil, trial, and hardship, and are about to be conducted from this period of subordination. Realizing that we might still be of sound mind and memory, hut know of a certainty that we will soon pass out, we make this our last will and testament, declaring all others like, similar, or related in any other way null, void, and of non-effect. 1 General Statement. We, the exalted, bequeath to the Junior Class, our immediate successors, the great and time-honored privilege of resting their weary bones in the most comfortable seats in assembly, even as we received them from our predecessors. We also bequeath all our earthly possessions, including old interlined books; unused paper, if there is any; pencil stumps; waste paper; wads ot chewing gum; and erasers which have not left us by way of the window in their uncertain flights about the classroom; to the Juniors, and bv doing so relinquish our positions as dignified sophisticated Seniors. II We make the following individual bequests to the faculty: 1 To Miss Kistler we bequeath a Senior class who will better appreciate her lectures. 2 To Mr. Shaeffer we donate a new “black hook” for latecomers, realizing that we have nearly filled the old one. 3 To Mr. Smith we will a search warrant so that he can check up on his history reference books. 4 To Miss Kistler we will a large aquarium, so that she need not let her pet turtle “Oscar” wander about the class room. 5 For the benefit of the incoming Seniors, we bequeath to the entire faculty deep sleep, during tests. ill To the Junior Class we make the following bequests: 1 To Harold Rinker we will Jacob Dorn-bach’s ability to break test tubes in Chemistry class. 2 We bequeath Wilbur Laub’s moaning saxophone to any Junior who has the courage to play it. 3 To the editor of the next Amptennian we give Charles Yale’s well known and oft tried ability to get the Senior printers out of classes. 4 We give Waiter Snyder’s ability to teach the fairer sex in Chemistry and German to Donald Laub. 5 Paul Seier would like to have his position as “Spanish Athlete,” versed in the art of throwing the bull, given to any Junior who can use it to the best advantage. 6 Ethel Erich’s ability on the trombone we give to Bohdan Ulanytzsky so that he need not search so long for a note when playing in the orchestra. iv To the Sophomore Class we leave the following: 1 We bequeath the dramatic oratory of Walter Molesky to any Sophomore who will take his place in debating. 2 Since Paul Nicholas has less weight than he could have, and Joe Humenik has a slight excess, we bequeath Paul a bit of avoirdupois. 3 Mike Smallen, the Senior “midget” bestows several inches of his height upon John Tarafas, the Sophomore “giant.” v Miscellaneous Bequests. 1 To the oncoming orchestra members we leave the broken seats in the front of the auditorium. CLASS WILL, (continued) 2 We suggest a gift of some good books to the library. 3 To the Printing Department we will another group of printers who will be willing to cooperate with Mr. Fegely in the printing work. 4 We will the ability of our Senior debators of arguing in classes to the debators of next year, provided that it is used in debates. 5 To the entire male portion of the underclasses we will the magnetic power of Robert Snyder to acquire for themselves a long, long list of feminine admirers. After thus bestowing our earthly possessions upon our successors in this disorderly manner, we hereby give it up as a bad job, and grant the Junior Class, our designated executors, the great privilege of putting this will into effect. We, the undersigned, hereby signify that there has been no chiselry, chicanery, etc. in the writing of this, our last, only, and illegal document. Witnesses: Hannibal the Cannibal Julius Sneezer Kristie Kolumbo Popeye the Sailorman Signed: Harold Oplint� er Walter Snyder Frank Stimpfle Emma Powers THE CENSUS OF 1960 CLASS PROPHECY Having been actively engaged in census enumeration for the past three decades, we have decided at the completion of this, the 1960 census, to conduct a little research work. As we more than supposed, our classmates of twenty-six years ago are scattered throughout the world, toiling in all fields and walks of life, some mighty magnates, others commonplace citizens of this, our mighty nation. Searching through the census, which for 1960 finds the population to be 157,672,437, we finally succeeded in unearthing eighty-five of these enumerations, which comprised the Senior Class of 1934 of the Northampton High School. Slowly, but surely came to light dark secrets about many comrades, some of whom we have not seen since June 16, 1934. In several instances it was necessary to obtain data from foreign nations. However, having thus secured our material, it behooves us to announce to the world what has become ot the once great and glorious class of 1934- Name Address M. Apple Bridgeport, Conn. J.

In a few minutes our Commencement Pageant will begin, the last time we will be together as members of the Class of ’34. Backstage everyone is hurrying to and fro, attending to last-minute details. As the orchestra comes to the end of their selection, order reigns behind the curtain, places are taken quietly for the first scene. A hush falls over the audience as the house lights grow dim. The curtains part and the welcome is given, after which the footlights are turned off. The spotlight is focused upon the center of the stage, where a girl presents the Prologue to “A Century of Progress in Public School Education.” The spotlight turns to the right of the stage, where an old bookseller is seated at the table in his workshop mending books. Aside of him a boy of seventeen is busily examining the old books on the shelves. The boy speaks of his visit to the Wolf Academy near Bath; the bookseller tells of his discoveries while reading some old books on education which the boy finds on the shelves. As he finds an interesting passage he begins. The bookshop lights are extinguished, the stage lights grow brighter, and the curtains part revealing thefirst scene — the home of George Wolf in 1785, governor of Pennsylvania many years later. Thus scene after scene passes—the Wolf Academy in 1798 when George attended school; the third scene a meeting of the Debate Society at the Academy. The Second Episode contains three scenes; the first in Governor Wolf s office, where he is interviewed by the Committee on Education; the next two scenes take place in the State Legislature at Harrisburg when the Free School Bill is passed and defended by Thaddeus Stevens, who makes his famous speech opposing the suggestion for repeal of the Free School Act. In the third Episode an International Conference on Education held at the Centennial Exposition in 1876 is presented, followed by a tableau of the picture, A Century of Progress.” The Finegan Program of 1921 is brought forth in the third scene. The Episode closes with a modern scene represenntig sports, dancing, orchestra, and singing. The last Episode is divided into two parts. The first deals with a Parent-Teachers’ Association meeting and the last with the receiving of diplomas, acceptance, and awarding of prizts. As the curtains close on the last scene, a boy steps forth and gives the Epilogue, which ends the pageant. The audience rises and the curtains again part, when everyone sings the Alma Mater and Hail! Pennsylvania.” Thus the thirty-third Commencement of Northampton High School passes into history. 1834 1934 Under-classes JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY HE class of 1935 has dropped the curtain on a year which proved to be a very spectacular one. Failing to let any time or effort go by, the class found that every day was packed full of some activity, whether it was athletics, dramatics, or debating. Each performance, in its own way, provided another stepping stone for friendship and loyalty, both to fellow classmates and our school. In athletics the Junior Class contributed several of its number for the various teams. Our football coach found excellent material in Calvin Nicholas, John Eberhard, and Wilson Heckman. In basketball, the lad who distinguished himself with his spectacular ability was John Safeldi. Our fair lassies w'ho will carve a niche in the basketball shelf of next year are Helen Winarchik, Cathryn Rupp, and Margaret Fink. The Junior Speaking Contest was one of the greatest successes in a number of years, which resulted in a close contest among the “Cream of the Juniors. The girl prizewinners were Arabelle Mathews and Katherine Louise Deibert. Vernon Andrews and John Sylvester emerged the boy winners. The Juniors cooperated capably with the enterprises with such organizations as the German Club, Dramatic Club, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves Glee Clubs, Band, and Orchestra.

Making the usual “wise-fool” mistakes, we gradually became accustomed to our new environment. Thus the educational feast began. Under the guidance of our interested teachers we slowly progressed and developed. Gaining confidence in ourselves, we began our climb up the ladder. In our midst we discovered a great deal of talent. Through this talent, our class has been reliably represented in the orchestra by these members: Arlene Danner, Dorothy Medland, Russel Kowalyshyn, Michael Ohotski, John Humenik, Eilus Halde-man, George Kraftician. Starring in the athletic field were: Anna Cristof, Agnes Seier, John Yurasitz, Woodrow Lindenmoyer, Stephen Demchik, John Laky, and Ernest Jacobs. Active Sophomores are enrolled in such groups as the Debating Club, Glee Club, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and Dramatic Club. In the scholastic field the class has not been latent. Many of us merited honor and high honor cards during all of the marking periods. After the gates have closed on our Sophomore career, we shall look forward to, and through profiting by our mistakes, achieve greater heights during our Junior year. —Mary Mychuda SOPHOMORE CLASS Paul Nicholas Julius Perdick Russel Kowalyshyn John Yurasits Bahnuick, Nicholas Beahm, Beatrice Behringer, Renia Bilovesky, Pauline Bishop, Elizabeth Bradoska, Mary Budihaus, Emma Budnarcuk, Peter Budhick, Mary Cerker, Alexander Christof, Anna Coleman, Delma Danner, Arlene Daubert, Melrose Demchyk, Stephen Demko, Arlene Dwarnick, Olga Eckhart, Anthony Eisenhard, Verna Ferrel, Harold Flisak, Wanda Greene, Catherine Gressler, Caroline Gross, Elmer Haldeman, Elius Haldeman, Irvin Hall, Jeneve Hepner, Adeline Hepner, Kathyrn Hradkowsky, Helen Hrinda, Catherine Humenik, John Huth, Harold Hutnick, Olga Hvazda, Metro Jacoby, Ernest OFFICERS ' - President - Vice President - - Secretary - - - Treasurer CLASS ROLL Jurasits, Rose Romanchik, Helen Kapuschoc, Pauline Roth, Beatrice Klemick, Ruth Roth, Virginia Kleppinger, Mildred Santee, Marjorie Kline, Donald Scheirer, Dorothy Knappenberger, Miriam Seier, Agnes Kobach, Mike Seiple, Jacob Kober, Alfred Sheska, Martin Kocher, Dorothy Sheska, Wallace Kowalyshyn, Russel Shimkannon, Steve Kozero, Mary Silvius, Irene Kraftician, George Sipos, John Kramlich, Edith Sivak, Margaret Krawchuk, John Smith, Glen Kremus, Louis Snyder, Loy Kresge, Anna Snyder, William Laky, John Spengler, Willard Leindecker, Arlene Stangl, William Leindecker, William Steiner, Charles Lerch, June Strausser, Pauline Lindenmoyer, Woodrow Swallow, Olga Lutz, Evelyn Szukics, Joseph Medland, Dorothy Tackas, John Mensinger, Cleo Tarafas, John Mickletz, Julia Thomas, Marion Miller, Dorothy Wasser, Kenneth Mychuda, Mary Weaver, Marion Nicholas, Paul Weigl, Edward Niedospiel, John Wenglasz, Joseph Oczakiewicz, Joe Wolf, Harold Ohotski, Michael Yale, James Perdick, Julius Young, Dorothy Powers, Margaret Yurasits, John Rector, David Zadubera, Gloria Reinert, Robert Zelena, Emil Rinker, Mae Ziegenfuss, Margaret 1834 Sports NHS FOOTBALL 0RE the cool breezes of autumn began to meander through the atmosphere a group of young men, stripped to the waist, faithfully started to train under the capable leadership of Coaches Hoffman and Ewing. Hopes were running high for an undefeated season. The players were getting into shape in a remarkably short time, so that after two wzeks of gruelling practice the team was able to open its season of competition. Needless to say, the hopes of the players and the expectations of the coaches were dampened by the defeats incurred at the hands of several of our adversaries. However, players and coaches alike took rhe defeats with their chins up. It may be interesting to note some of the events and characteristics of the coaches and players as they came up and then passed into history during the football season of 1933. Coach Francis Hoffman, chief strategist, certainly could devise plays which fooled not only the opposing team but even the spectators, who not very seldom lost trackof the ball until the referee blew his whistle and uncovered the ball. Coach Kermit Ewing, the maker of linemen, could not sit still on the bench when his lads were out on the field making holes big enough for steam-rollers to go through, but ran up and down the sidelines with the advance and retreat of the ball. Frank “Magg” Magyar, our big, blond, left end, wasted no time dragging down to earth those fast, little halfbacks trying to skirt about his end. John “Docky” Radakovitz, the grizzly tickle, snared those tiny quarterbacks attempting to go between his legs. Mickey “Mike Puchyr, flashy left guard, had his ow n way about it if an opponent got in the same path that he was traveling. Alan “Goose” Guss, our fair-faced center, certainly kept that keystone position in the shuffle block impenetrable. Walter “Cacky” Nicholas, the heaviest guard on the team, went like a train w'ith all steam up when the ball was put in play on the kickoff. Mike “Swede” Smallen, the leaning tower, was unsurpassed as tackles go. Any ball carrier’s fate was doomed it he got w ithin reach of the “Swede.” Frank “Frankie” Stenock, our quiet right end, could snatch a pass anywhere in his vicinity, high, low, wide, or close. FOOTBALL (continued) John “Johnny” Regec, the reserve guard, was always ready at the summons of the coach, playing with grit and determination, and then some. Antony “Tony” Timar, center extraordinary, holds qualities which the future will only bring out. From showings in the past “Tony” assuredly will be a master of the game. Ben “Benny” Weiner, our whirlwind halfback, needed only the ball in his hands to gain yardage. Opponents? He didn’t consider them. Anthony “Ham” Marakovitz, diminuative fullback, filled those holes with swiftness and precision. The opponents actually gasped! John “Jake” Yurasits, deceptive halfback, figured his own way to make touchdowns. Walter “Shorty” Molesky, the 66-inch quarterback, specialized in an eighty-yard run to gain the coveted six-pointer. Nicholas “Kayo” Fanok, reserve quarterback, was not heavy but what he lacked in weight he made up in courage and quick thinking. Vassile “Damager” Dranchak, head student manager, helped to win every one of our games for he was chief rub-downer, bandager, statistician, scorekeeper and shoe repairer. That the scrubs may know they are not forgotten—“The varsity never forgets.” Stick it out and things will eventually come your way. With eleven of the fourteen varsity men graduating, a small nucleus is left for the succeeding year, however, although graduated, the members of the Class of 1934 will work with these yearlings, so that they too might some day delve into some cob-webbed chamber of the brain and bring to light an essence of the following—“He encouraged me. He showed me that.” After this has all been said and done the Class of 1934 will know it has done its work well. —Walter Molesky SEASONS FOOTBALL SCORES N. H. S. 12 Pen Argyl 0 N. H.

Through his continuous direction, the fit were weeded out from the unfit, and finally a squad of fifteen players emerged from that group of basketball aspirants. These players started the season, participating in the gruelling practices and performed in the actual games with a characteristic which has been shown by only a few teams in the history of the high school. This characteristic upholds a tradition which is eminent among the members of the Class of 1934 and is based upon that old adage, “Fight to the last drop.” The proof of this is that there were more basketball games won and lost in the last few minutes of play during the season of 1934 than in any other season. A personality sketch of the individuals who have worked during the basketball season and who have contributed their talents to make the season a success is as follows: Mr. Francis Hoffman, our coach, must certainly be commended for his conscientious work, not only for spending the three hours daily in the gym but fot the work which was accomplished during those three hours. Ben Weiner, captain of the team, assuredly deserved that position, not only through his playing abilities, but because of his good-na-turedness. Never shall rhat last second “crazy Weiner” shot which won the Bethlehem game be forgotten. Furthermore, “Ben” won the award given for shooting the most fouls in the contest among the team members in which fifty foul shots were taken every day during the basketball season. Joe “Mexican” Seko, flashy forward, could shoot from any angle of the court. He was our main point-getter, both in the number of two pointers gathered as well as the number of shots from the free throw line. For his foul shooting, 29 out of a possible 47. Joe received an award of which he can very well be proud. Mike Smallen, our center man, could out-jump any other pivot player in the Valley BOYS BASKETBALL (continued) league. Mike merits the highest of credit not only for playing the great game which he did but also because he played under the handicap of having to wear glasses. John Safeldi, a Junior on the team helped immensely to roll up those scores upon the opponents, inasmuch as it was his first year of varsity competition. John Yurasits, one of the two Sophomores, holds great surprises for the future in athletic events of our high school. He likes to play the game hard and rough and no one can slow him down. Woodrow Lindenmoyer, the other Sophomore forward, was one of the mainstays when our forwards were in difficulty. Still a little over anxious, “Lindy” perhaps didn’t make as many points as he would have made under normal conditions, but remember this is only his first season on the varsity squad. Walter Molesky started to be student manager but the lure of the game overcame his desire to be scorekeeper, so he donned a basketball suit and tried to give the varsity some competition during the practice session. John Radakovitz cavorted about the floor, and sank shots so unexpectedly, that he had the coach looking for a team in which six players were used because it seemed a waste of material to leave a good man go to waste on the bench. Although, every time any of the first five were incapacitated John was ready to take his place. Frank Magyar, our curly-headed Senior, could certainly fill in the center man’s shoes when he was called upon to do so. Sometimes it seemed as though Smallen was losing the tap during the practice sessions and by the magic of his words, Frank pepped him up so much that another six foot center man would have had to use a spring board to outjump him. Willard Hoffman, erstwhile Senior, having as beautiful a left handed shot as one would want to see, had to be confined to play for the Jay Vee’s because, even though his feet reached the floor, his head was only five feet above the same floor. Frank Marakovitz, our blond student manager, liked to keep score so much, that he only came late once for one of the basketball trips to other schools. Frank was also one of the best alcohol users of all the student managers, that is, alcohol for rub-downs. And thus do we end the summary of the 1934 basketball team and its contemporaries. —Walter Molesky SEASON’S BASKETBALL SCORES N. H. S. 41 Alumni 48 N. H. S. 26 Allentown 39 N. H. S. 49 Ch.

Because Radakovitz and Seko were the only regulars returning from the team of last year, Mr. Hoffman pinned his hopes on the oncoming rookies. Frank Stenork and Nicholas Fanok, two able infielders of the previous year, and Walter Molesky, former catcher, did not report for the team, due to other activities. The men who fought for berths on the Black and Orange nine are as follows: Jake” Yurasits, one of our Sophomores, was assigned the task of being behind the bat. Having experience with sandlot teams, Jake” proved an invaluable necessity. Tony” Timar, a handsome Junior, was the mainstay of the pitching staff, having hurled all but one inning during the season. He promises to be an outstanding pitcher throughout the Valley next year. John, better known as “Docky”, Radakovitz again covered first base this year, the position which he held on the team for two years. His left-handedness was particularly valuable on first base. Woodrow “Woody” Lindenmoyer, one of our newcomers, received the assignment of covering the keystone sack. With some outside experience, this young Sophomore rounded into shape nicely. “Whitey” Szoke carried the banners of the Third Ward on the team. Stephen played the shortstop position in fine form as this was his first year. Joe Seko, our worthy captain, again covered third base, better known as the “hot corner.” Joe’s heavy hitting and spectacular base running greatly aided the team in chalking up victories. Earl “Dip” Deibert, the fleet-winged Third-Warder, alternated at left and center field, depending on what the occasion called for. His swiftness of foot held down hits labeled for extra bases, as well as adding a base now and then to his own hits. John “Fats” Buritch was somewhat handi- BASEBALL (continued) capped in quick manipulation because of his weight. He guarded the right field territory and made up for his weaknesses by crashing out long hits, and many of them. John also caught on several occasions. John Laky, another Sophomore, started out as a pitcher and winded up in center and left field. He promises to be a mainstay next year. “Pickles” Morey, a ninth grader, was another one of those youngsters who saw service patrolling the outer districts of the ballpark. “Charlie” Heffner, an eighth grade midget, yet a wonder at shortstop, has shown in his playing that his bid for next year’s first string will be a strong one. Stanley “Sonny” Landis, the Danielsville pitcher, saw service in one game. The small schedule enabled Timar to handle all the games, thus reducing the need for Landis’ service. Among the other aspirants for berths on the nine we find Jacoby and Seier as pitchers; Demchyk and Hlushak as infielders; and Safeldi, Williams, and Procanyn as outfielders. We should not forget those boys without uniform who are a valuable part of the team— the student managers. “Alex” Fodor and “Jimmy” Yale took care of the bats and other equipment, chased foul balls, and attended to other such details. Then too, our coaching staff is more than worthy of mention. Mr. Tinckom, who was great pitcher in his college days, took charge of making first class hurlers out of the applicants. Mr. Ronemus took charge of the infield, where as a first baseman he proved his “stuff” at college also. Last, but by no means least, comes Coach Hoffman, who has coached his last team at Northampton. No finer farewell to him than the thorough trouncing we dealt the league champions could have been given. With such a foundation of underclassmen, we can certainly look forward to a championship team next year. —John Radakovitz SEASON’S BASEBALL SCORES N. H. S. 13 Slatington 7 N. H. S. 7 Catasaqua 4 N.

This organization annually selects the state high school champions in debating, oratory, readings, extempore speaking, vocal and choral music, bands and orchestras, and individual musical instruments. Three contests are held — a county, a district involving six counties, and the state finals. N. H. S. succeeded in placing four in the district finals, held at Palmerton on Thursday, April 19. The musical contestants played a required number and one optional. The reader was limited to a twelve minute delivery from one of Shakespeare’s Comedies. The extemporaneous speaker was given a half hour to prepare a six minute speech on some phase of the subject “Peace”. Ethel Erich, as trombonist, won her way to the state finals with her rendition of “Valse Fantastic”, which was required, and “The Sweetest Story Ever Told”. The other three were unsuccessful. Robert Snyder, as pianist, duly impressed with his playing of “Rondo in G”, the required, and “Black Key Etude”. Arabella Mathews selected as her reading a portion of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.” The subject given Charles Yale for the extempore speech was“Is the increase in the horror and destruction of war an aid to the peace movement?” At Johnstown the following Saturday, April 28, Miss Erich placed fifth in the trombone finals. Several entrants are expected next year. AMPTENN1AN AND NEWSPAPER STAFF At the beginning of the school year, those interested in publications were asked to volunteer their services in this work, resulting in a staff of over thirty students. Under the supervision of Miss Kistler, the organization elected Charles Yale, editor-in-chief, and six editors--Christine Laubach, Helen Kozero, and Robert Snyder as feature editors; Walter Molesky, sports editor; John Kowalchuk, humor editor; and Harold Oplinger, make-up editor. With the cooperation of the school printing department two fine newspapers were issued before Christmas, an accomplishment worthy of note. From that time on the staff members busied themselves with the Amptennian work, since they represented both publications. Because the printing department could not handle both the newspaper and yearbook work, the Concrete Courier was discontinued for the term. In preparing material for the Amptennian the staff members gained considerable experience in expressing themselves on the printed page-experience which will be useful to anyone who is interested in any phase of journalism. The other staff members are: Frank Stimpfle, who did most of the typing; Vassile Dranchak, John Eichler, Nicholas Fanok, Irene Fekety, Mark Frantz, Dorothea Fenstermasker, Dorothy Frey, Joyce Frye, Miriam Graver, John Koch, Merle Kostenbader, Frank Krupa, Mary Kurey, Pearl Lerch.

Miss Lydia Martin and Mr. Carl Rode trained the twelve Seniors to the peak of their abilities. Tom Arsdale and Oke Srimson, John Koch and Nicholas Fanok, are college boys whose views on women are exactly opposite, Tom being a “woman-hater” and Oke a champion of females, with Peaches Carter, Elsie Troxell, his present weakness. The Dean, Charles Yale, arrives with news that Tom’s father, George Scoble; his Aunt Caroline, Christine Laubach; and Sylvia Webster, Grace Schaadt; whom Mr. Arsdale chooses fora daughter-in-law, will arrive for commencement. Fortunately, Tom and Oke persuade Babs Sanford, Mercedes Miller, to fake an engagement to Torn. They get the college poet, Alfred Tennyson Mergatoyd, Harold Oplirger. to fall fcr Sylvia. Chuck Mayo, a hard-boiled truck driver arrives, looking for Birdie Laverne, Helen Kozero, his old girl and now a movie aspirant. Babs uses Birdie’s name as a disguise. Mr. Arsdale hires Chuck to kidnap Birdie, who is really Babs, in order to get rid of her. Thinking this his girl. Chuck agrees, but kidnaps Sylvia after she and Babs had decided to change costumes for the masquerade. When the mixup is untangled, the play ends with four successful love affairs, to the delight of all, even Asma, Dorothy Frey, the colored washlady, who always complains about doing too much. DEBATING CLUB For the first time in several years N. H.S. had areal debating season. Six battles of wits and words went down in history, three being non-decision and three decision contests. Under the able tutelage of Mr. Tinkcom, the students who represented the Black and Orange forensically made an intense study of the question Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British System of Radio Control and Operation. Rounding into shape during February, the negative opened the season on March 2 with Whitehall in a non-decision debate. Two weeks later, on March 16, both teams swung into action against our old rivals, Catasauqua. Although there were no decisions, both our teams were conceded the victory. On Monday, March 26, the South Whitehall affirmative invaded Northampton for a decision debate with our negative. After a close contest, the judges returned a 3-0 decision in our favor. On April 11, both teams closed their campaigns when the Slatington teams met us in a dual debate. At home, the affirmative lost 3-0, but the negative evened things up by winning 2-1 at Slatington. The affirmative team was composed of James Yale, Harold Oplinger, and Walter Molesky. The negative debaters were Vernon Andrews, Russel Kowalyshyn, and Charles Yale. Harold Rinker, Eilus Haldeman, and George Kraftician served as alternates. JUNIOR SPEAKING CONTEST On February 23, the class of 1935 was introduced to the public in the eighth annual Junior Speaking Contest. The curtain opened, showing eight contestants and Mr. ShaefFer seated on the stage, in the background of which hung a cardinal and gray poster of the class motto. “Live and Learn,” and two baskets of the class flower, American Beauty Rose, in the foreground. Determined to “do or die,” the tight sptakers settled themselves to the grind ahead, which met with great approval. The speakers and their selections were: “Amy’s Valley of Humiliation” by Louisa M. Alcott, Nellie Rutman; “The Notorious Jumping Frog” by Samuel Clemens, John Sylvester; “Hosea and Gomer by Agnes S. Turnbull, Katherine Louise Deibert; “The Rescue of Lygia” by Henry K. Seinkiewisz, Bohdan L lanytsky; “The Taming of the Shrew” by William Shakespeare, Arabelle Matthews; “The Perfect Tribute” by Mary R. S. Andrews, Vernon Andrews; “Alice’s Evidence” by Lewis Carrol, Pauline Smith; “The Beggar Boy at Christ’s Christmas Tree” by Feodor Dostoievsky, Harold Rinker. After computing the judges’ decisions, Mr. ShaefFer announced the prize winners and presented them with their awards. The two first prizes of ten dollars, presented by the Alumni Association, went to Arabelle Matthews and Vernon Andrews. The two second prizes of five dollars, presented by Henry A. Miller, and the Cement News Publishing Co. went to Katherine Louise Deibert and John Sylvester. The judges for the contest were G. D. Stcckel, of the Whitehall High School English Department; Mildred Lawall, of the Catasauqua High School English Department; and Mary F. Hausman, cf Allentown, a former English teacher here. THE BAND The high school band has increased in size to the largest aggregation that ever saw action, just during the last school term. Although composed of many beginners, the band soon took the form of an organization of which the school may be justly proud. Of course, there is no doubt as to the superior ability of the director, Mr. Newhard, under whose leadership the band has improved tremendously. We must not, however, forget that through the efforts of Mr. Berg, the faculty advisor, the band has improved in appearance and discipline, both on parade and on the stage. Mr. Berg conducts the band in the absence of Mr. Newhard. Lest we forget—the Junior High School has developed some splended material which the band uses to a great extent. Linder the talented guidance of Mr. Kuntz, the music department of the Junior High deserves praise. Football and basketball games would be incomplete and colorless without the appearance of the band, which adds pep and zest to the athletic battles. Besides the annual spring concert this year, N. H. S. was represented in the Lafayette College Band Tournament. In this contest the band took the cup for second place, Pen Argyl being the winner. In addition to organized competition, the band’s trombone soloist, Ethel Erich, placed fifth in the state finals, a mark for other instrumentalists to aim at. With a good source for material, the five graduating Seniors yield their places, knowing they will be well filled. THE ORCHESTRA “Orchestra rehearsal ar 3:30!” That oft-repeated announcement becomes a reality on Friday afternoons when our maestro, Mr. Harry Newhard, directs the orchestra as it wends its way through difficult compositions. The thirty-three members of the orchestra work hard to prepare for special programs and the spring concert. They attend rehearsal each week, play in chapel, and played for the many evening performances presented in the auditorium. Our leader, Mr. Newhard has guided our musical organization with great success. As director of the Municipal Band of Allentown, he has gained valuable experience. His aim is to bring out the best in every member, which he has not failed to do in the last few years. Due credit must also be given Mr. Kuntz for the work he has accomplished in training Junior High School students to play instruments. In each coming year, the results of this will be shown by the increase in membership and the presence of more and better experienced musicians. We must also remembet Mr. Berg, our faculty advisor, and “pinch hitter” in case of Mr. Newhard's absence. The Senior members of the orchestra are: Ethel Erich, Margaret Apple. Lillian Frantz, Mercedes Miller, Christine Laubach. Anna Ohotski, George Scoble, Wilbur Laub, Vassile Dranchak, Robert Snyder, and Joseph Humenik. HI-Y “One of the oldest; best known, and most active clubs in the state” is a phrase concerning the Northampton Hi-Y which has been spoken more than once by J. H. Dalrymple, the state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The club this year had as its president Alan Guss, who has proved himself an able leader in this field. Mr. Smith again served as faculty advisor, and to him goes much credit for the success of the club. The other officers of the club were Kenneth Cberholtzer, Vice President; John Eichler, Secretary; and Paul Hall, Treasurer. The Hi-Y was composed of twenty-five members of all three classes. The club meets every two weeks on a Monday evening. At these meetings such problems that came before the student body were discussed and acted upon; numerous talks on conduct, manners and other worthwhile topics were presented by members and Mr. Smith. February and March were devoted to Bible study, which in addition to Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship form the platform of the club. At each conference and convention, the local chapter of the Hi-Y held a prominent spot, due to large delegations and the activeness of the club. Several regional conferences and rallies were attended by our members. At the convention of the Southeastern Pennsylvania District, held at Chester in December, the Northampton High School Delegation was the largest of the entire assemblage. The club also maintained a basketball team, whose prowess was proven more than once. THE GIRL RESERVES This international organization, having a blue triangle as its emblem of service, develops girls mentally, spiritually, and physically. The Girl Reserves have successfully terminated their second year under Miss Kistler’sadvisorship and guidance. The officers of the group this year are Christine Laubach, President; Katherine Louise Deibert, Vice President; Lillian Frantz, Secretary; and Betty Bell, Treasurer. To the members of the club last year were added seventeen more girls, making the Girl Reserves a lively and worthwhile organization. Each member has tried to faithfully perform the duties of a Girl Reserve. It has been the aim of this organization to leave a remembrance that will always be of use and a benefit to the school. This end was admirably accomplished by giving to Northampton High a school flag. Lacking such an emblem, our school received it as the gift of the Girl Reserves, just in time to march with the band at the Thanksgiving Day football game with Catasauqua. The Black and Orange banner is proudly displayed on all permissible occasions. The Girl Reserves continued their work at the information desk, and succeeded socially in the following activities: “Why the Chimes Rang”, the Christmas play; Hallowe’en Party; Valentine Dance; May Day Hike; Mother and Daughter Tea; and a Kid’s Party. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY At the beginning of the 1933-34 term, this eager, confident group of young people, comprising 15 per cent of the Senior class, decided that in order to uphold the four standards of the Society, namely Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service, it would work hard, participate in scholastic and extra-curricular activities, help students who were down in their marks, and in the same manner, make themselves useful and promote the welfare of the school in every and any way. To this end, the members have striven, and now, looking back over the long list of events that occurred during the year, they can easily identify themselves with the outstanding work done. They have kept well in mind that scholastic work is of prime importance, and they have ably fulfilled this part, not only keeping at the head of their classes, but also assisting the delinquents. This body of young people, the life blood of the class, as it were, have attempted to inspire through its zeal and persistence the other members of the class to work and uphold the four emblems of the Society. This work, started so nobly, is passed on to the incoming members, who, we hope, will carry the flaming torch onward, ever seeking to uplift and inspire the young women and young men to ideals more noble and high than they have heretofore cherished. The members are as follows: Left to right, first row-Emma Powers, Mercedes Miller, Helen Kozero, Walter Molesky, Mary Kurey, Burdelle Fye, Christine Laubach. Second row-John Kowalchuk, Merle Kostenbader, Harold Oplinger, Robert Snyder. Third row-Walter Snyder, Charles Yale, John Regec, Nicholas Fanok. “LANTERN LAND” - ANNUAL OPERETTA To many people the thought of Japan, with its beauty and strange customs, arises when the magic words “Lantern Land” are spoken. Eut to those who participated in the production of the operetta this year, memories of music, rehearsals, scenery, and costumes remain. Many who saw the operetta remember not only the beauty created by the staging and directing, but also the humorous and serious situations which developed as the plot thickened. Mr. Grant, manager of a plantation in Japan, needs financial aid to remain ow ner of his plantation. The Grant family has given up hope of securing the money when Dave Ashley, a friend of Grant’s son Kenneth, suggests selling fly swatters in the little kingdom. All goes well until Prince Nogotta Kimono forbids anyone to kill a fly. What is to be done? Kate Grant, with Bud Billings and Dave, devises a plan to sell fly swatters. They play up to Princess Iwanta Kimono, who follows all the fashions. Bud, as a Yogi, prophesies that all women will wear fly swatters as combs. The princess is delighted, and adopts the new' style. This sale of swatters provides the Grants and Dave with money. Now Dave can marry Kate, and all are happy as the curtain falls on “Lantern Land.” Judging by the comments received on this humorous performance, the entire cast with the coaches, Miss Martin and Miss Newhard, can be proud of its production, as it was one of the best ever produced in the high school. STUDENT COUNCIL “Sentinels sans uniform”, nevertheless effective in enforcing observance of the constitution and by-laws of Northampton High. This service group was organized in 1919 and performed its duties under the name of Student Betterment Association. In 1926 it was changed to the Student Council, in accordance with Section I, Article I of the constitution. Five members were elected from each oncoming class, and three new members were added to the five Senior members. Each member, assigned a definite post in the halls, tried to regulate traffic and use their influence for the welfare of the school. The following officers were elected: President, Walter Molesky; Vice President, Harold Oplinger; Secretary, Helen Kozero; Treasurer, John Radakovitz; Faculty member, Mr. Rode. During the year two dances were sponsored, one on October 29, the other on November 24. The principal purposes were to aid in the internal organization and administration of the school, to foster better cooperation and promote the best interests of the students. According to the by-laws, this organization should accomplish at least one object each year. This end was successfully reached this year when the Council introduced the point system, whereby the thirteen per cent of the Senior class having the highest mumber of points for participation in extra-curricular activities received a letter. We anticipate that the oncoming council members shall likewise endeavor to reach a definite goal. STATE COMMERCIAL CONTEST Twenty-eight high schools, represented by fifty teachers and one hundred sixty-five high school students attended the Fourth Annual Commercial Contest held at Bloomsburg State Teachers’College, on May 5, 1934. The growing interest in this College is shown by the fact that one high school traveled over two hundred miles to attend the event. The contest supervisor, Mr. H. A. Andruss, Director of the Department of Commerce stated that the improvement shown each year on thecontestants’ papers has reached such a stage that it is not an exaggeration to say that high school Commercial work is on a much better level now that it was four years ago. Each year Northampton places winners in thr various contests, and this year was no exception. In Shorthand, Irene Ziegenfuss placed third, and as a reward she received a bronze charm. George Scoble was likewise rewarded for placing third in Typing. Nicholas Fanok and Sara Miller, respectively, gained honorable mention in these two contests. Our school was also represented in Commercial Arithmetic and Bookkeeping, but not to the extent of singular distinction. John Regec competed in the former and John Safeldi represented N. H. S. in the latter contest. BOYS AND GIRLS GLEE CLUBS “The old order changeth” is a saying often heard, and well may it be applied to our school year, for during the term the Boys Glee Club was organized to vie for vocal distinction with the long established Girls Glee Club. In February the National Honor Society started a movement to establish a boys vocal organization. In a few weeks Miss Newhard could be seen putting a group of about twenty-five boys through their paces each Tuesday morning. Likewise on Wednesday mornings the girls held their practices. During the last two weeks before the spring concert, rehearsals were held almost daily. On Friday, May 22, the glee club members were given a chance to display their talent in public at the annual music festival. The girls organization sang three numbers. “’Tis Spring,” by Wilson; Liebestraum,” by Liszt; and “Fierce Raged the Tempest,” by Dykes. Accompanied by the orchestra, they sang “Land of Hope and Glory,” by Elgar. The boys group gave as their concert numbers “Bells of the Sea,” by Lamb-Solman; and the Anvil Chorus, from Verdi’s “II Trovatore.” Together, both the boy’s and girl’s clubs sang the Recessional” by DeKoven. Representing the glee clubs, the “Recessional” was sung by a mixed sextet in the Commencement Pageant.

Paul Seier not being reminded for a day to withstrain his class-room conversation? Wilbur Laub going up Main Street nearly every evening? Mr. Smith ignorant of the latest love affair?

Charles Yale driving to Berlinsville on his bicycle? The English class not practicing baseball? Mark Frantz forgetting to study his lesson? Walter Snyder losing a nickel bet to Mr. Smith that he’d make a hundred in the P. of D. test? THEY TELL ME THAT; David Kromer fell asleep in English class, only to be awakened by a paper wad thrown by “Jake” Dornbach. Walter Snyder made two spectacular speeches in English Class, urging us “to marry young” in the first one and “to have better thoughts during sleep” in the second. Lester Miller began a speech in English class in this manner, “One breezy moonlight evening —The class laughed. “As my friend and I were walking down along the creek —.” Laughs turned to roars. “To shoot muskrats.” Frank Krupa gave a speech on knee-action wheels, and entitled it “Free-Wheeling.” The second period Chemistry class had a postal system of their own. Vassile Dranchak now hitch-hikes to Cherryville in his spare moments, or meets the damsel at Pennsville. Stanley Landis made his home in Northampton on Friday evenings, thanks to his “Chewy.” John Kowalchuk tried to blow up the school with a mixture of acids in the Chemistry Lab last fall. John Koch and Robert Snyder use Pennsville as their base of operations, the former with a Coaldale lass, and the latter with Slatington ferns. Harold Oplinger tried to fill a test tube with NaOH after Walter Molesky had knocked the bottom out. John Kowalchuk and Mark Frantz were “married” by “Rev. Walter Molesky before Algebra class one morning. At the National Honor Society picnic, John Kowalchuk devoured seventeen hct dogs, all with rolls, in addition to soda and marshmallows. John Regec came second with fifteen. Ben Weiner sold twenty tickets for “Girl-Shy” by making each salesman who visited Weiner’s store rake two. Frank Krupa fielded 1.000 in baseball games this spring. “Peachbottom” made all errors. The Dornbach brothers, John and Jacob, have a weakness for cowboy pictures, which they duly satisfy by frequenting the wild-west performances. Miss Martin delights in cold weather, and becomes more vivacious when the mercury hits zero. Stanley Landis nearly wrecked his “lizzie” returning from theChester Conference, when his eyes left the road to rest on a maiden who was walking alongside. “Fritz” Frantz saved the day by grasping the steering wheel. Charles Yale had a habit of standing by the print shop door to watch a certain Sophomore, as she passed on her way to the fourth period class. Walter Snyder, in Chemistry class, combined soap and a shortening into one word, “Rinsco.” Margaret Apple, in P. of D. class, said that Columbus was an Englishman. Harold Oplinger met some girls from Fleetwood, Pa., at the annual Camp Meeting held at Allentown. 1834 1934 Advertisements + - j DIAL 7381 R. E. BARTHOLOMEW 21st . Siegfried Avenue NORTHAMPTON, PA.

Place it in safe - keeping. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is no more than right to give special recognition to those whose work on this Amptennian has been outstanding and of great importance. The many hours of their valuable time and effort which they devoted to this cause renders them worthy of mention indeed. Therefore, the staff designates these few words as a token of gratitude to the following: To Miss Kistler, who supervised the writing of the content material; To Miss Tucker, who permitted and supervised the typing of the material; To Mr. Schaeffer, who took care of the financial matters; To Walter Molesky, David Kromer, and Charles Yale for the soliciting of advertisements; To Mr. Fegely, who expertly supervised the printing of this yearbook; To those student printers, who, with Mr. Fegely, yielded more than their spare moments after the close of school to speed the completion of our Amptennian, namely: Vassile Dranchak, Wilbur Laub, Harold Oplinger, Robert Snyder, John Kowalchuk, Frederick Frantz, Charles Yale, and Andrew Sedzmak. And to Charles Yale, our Editor-in-chief, whose untiring efforts in all phases of the yearbook have proved to be a decidedly great factor in bringing this, our last student activity, to a successful end.
