NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL 1935 N. H. S. PRINTING DEPARTMENT NORTHAMPTON, PA. 1935 DEDICATION TO LYDIA ELIZABETH MARTIN who, through constant and patient effort, has succeeded in guiding us to the path of culture and winning the admiration and gratitude of the class of nineteen hundred thirty - five. CONTENTS Dedication Foreword Greetings Faculty Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Alumni Athletics Activities Humor Acknowledgements FOREWORD IE publication of an Amptennian is not a new institution in Northampton High School. For years it has been the custom to place before the public briefly, accurately, and at the same time wittily, a picture of our high school, particularly of the senior class. Good customs, when long continued, almost become laws, and now it is time for another edition of the Amptennian. Former issues have been excellent, but we hope to surpass them all. Since it is the purpose of an annual to interest not only students, but the public as well, we have tried to select material and present it in such a way that it will be satisfactory to both. Furthermore, we have tried not to make our book full of unreasonable satire, or an enumeration of the eccentricities of teachers and students, but a truthful record of all matters of pleasantry and seriousness, giving permanent form to the good qualities of our schoolmates. We hope chat the attitude of the public will be to “trust him little who praises all, him less who condemns all, him least who is indifferent about all.” In addition to the ordinary features of this book which resemble other volumes, we have tried to make it appealing from a literary and artistic point of view. Our task has not been an easy one, but if it will turn back the thoughts of some alumni to happy days spent at Northampton Senior High School, or keep alive in our own breasts pleasant memories of the past year, we shall feel more than recompensed. We present this, the 1935 Amptennian. to alumni, students, and friends in the hope that they will forgive all errors and derive real pleasure from reading it, an imperfect mirror of the history of our Alma Mater in the year that is past. BOR a period of twelve years you, the members of the class of 1935, have been sheltered within the walls of Northampton’s Public Schools. During these years you have acquired much useful knowledge under the guidance of sympathetic teachers. Now you are graduating. What of the future! A few fortunate ones will have the opportunity to continue your education in a formal way. Most of you will now take your place in a more or less cruel world on your own responsibility. The world in which you have prepared to play a useful and honorable role may not be waiting for you with open arms. One of the saddest spectacles of recent years has been the turning of thousands of ambitious and well prepared high school graduates into a society which had no need or place for them. This is not a very optimistic picture but one that is true under present day conditions. My reason for not showing you the immediate future through rose colored glasses is to guard you against disillusionment after graduation. If you cannot go away to school or secure a position do not become discouraged for we are assured a better day is dawning. By all means within your power keep the splendid idealism and courage of your school days. Strive also to continue your education. This is possible in numerous ways. Books, magazines, bulletins, and papers on every conceivable subject are easily obtained. Furthermore your high school will be glad to have back those of you who are really in earnest about furthering your education. By continuing your education you will not only use the time which may hang heavily upon your hands but you will increase your knowledge and possibility of usefulness when a real opportunity presents itself. Dr. G. A. Eichler, Superintendent Dr. GEORGE A. EICHLER, Superintendent BACON SAID that a man dies as often as he loses a good friend. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your life be also. If your thoughts are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, there you will live a narrow circumscribed life. But if you are interested in what is going on in the world, then you are living in the world, if you are interested in the characters of a good world then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and livings in a world of passion and imagination. Let us widen and intensify these relations. While we live, let us live by cultivating a desire for good poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friends and be willing to render service above self. To live intensely and richly, or merely to exist—that depends on ourselves. Due to your high school training you should be able to widen and intensify your relationships while we live, let us live a useful life. I. L. Sheaffer, Principal IRA L. SHEAFFER, Principal ALMA MATER Honor to the Black and Orange! Sing the glad refrain, Loyal to our Alma Mater, Ever we’ll remain. Alma Mater! Alma Mater! All our vows renew. Hail to thee, Northampton High School, We will all be true. Days with her we’ll e’re remember, Though our lives be long, Here’s to her whose name we’ll ever Cherish in our song. THE FACULTY IRA L. SHEAFFER, Principal 2H1 Main Street Deep sighted in intelligences, ideas, atoms, influences. —Butler Due to a beaming smile, with a radiant personality, it would be hard to place Mr. Sheaffer’s picture on the space alloted here for him. Acting as impromptu student advisor, many students have been gratified to find that his acceptable manner is of a most pleasant nature, and his timely discussions on relations of individuals and future preparation point him out to be a thoroughly capable leader among young people in Senior High School. Besides knowing the nature of the young men and women with whom he comes in contact, Mr. Sheaffer has a broad and sympathetic knowledge of the plant and animal world. Quite interested in the subject of biology, he teaches classes of eager Sophomores who, if they schedule his course, orient themselves with a great deal of interest to the needs of a high school education. The dignity of this kind gentleman impresses everyone of us so that we call him affectionately “Pap.” Histones are as perfect as the Historian is wise, and is gifted uith an eye and a sold. —Carlyle “Mr. Smith’s room ?” The room at the end of the hall.” “That’s right, where you hear the laughter.” “What a ‘swell’ Hi-Y club he has!” “And don’t forget the ‘neat job’ he’s doing as faculty manager of athletics.” Expressions such as these represent in but a small degree the boyish recognition given this outstanding faculty member, Mr. Smith, for his convivial attitude, likable personality, whole-hearted sportsmanship and his ability to lead and guide youth in the classroom, Hi-Y Club, and on the athletic field. Do you wonder where he has cultured these unusual qualities of character? Well, we’ll tell you, . . . trout fishing! Subjects: History, Problems of Democracy. Qraduate of : Northampton Senior High School, Keystone State Teachers College, Muhlenberg College. Graduate work at: Columbia University, Penn State. RALPH F. SMITH Science and art belong to the u hole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality. —Goethe After a blackboard performance of problems in geometry or algebra and the chalk dust has settled in the small mathematics room, the smiling countenance of Mr. Fegely is seen. This “Jack of all trades and master of many is as much at heme in his class room, printshop, and laboratory as he is in the small “tink-ershop” at his home in Maxatawny. Scientific and mathematical problems are the chief but not sole interests of “Al.” He has a definite inclination toward music, being able to play the piano and organ. The printing of this annual speaks well of another of his interests. Subjects: Physics, Plane Qeometry, Solid Geometry, Algebra, Printing, Trigonometry. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College, Franklin and Marshall College. ALVIN N. FEGELY I uould be friends with you and hate your love. —Merchant of Venice Hello, there! A cheery good morning to you! Such is the sudden hut expected salutation you receive, if somehow you meander to the upper floor, at the top of the girls stairway. Sure enough, there stands Miss Kistler, ready to greet you with her infectious, and disarming smile. Graduated from the school of “Home lessons on typewriter tactics,” she is now the proud possessor of a “silent” machine, (So as not to disturb the Seniors while compiling tests;) a group of willing Girl Reserves; an aquarium of goldfish; a croupy Plymouth; and a creaky cat, who must be referred to as Rusty.” Subjects: English III and IV. Graduate of : Wyoming Seminary, West Chester Normal School. Post-graduate uwfc at: Pennsylvania State College, University of Pennsylvania Graduate School. ARLINE KISTLER Speak not at all, in any wise, till you hate someuhat to speak; care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking. —Carlyle Beep, Beep! Look out! Make way— here comes Tink’s” chariot with the all-around congenial personality at the helm. This gentleman drives other things besides “chariots,” namely: his debating team in attacking current problems, assisting the baseball coach; and in his mellow moods, sits 'neath a mountain stream, reciting poetry to the finny denizens of the shallowness, in hope that some will become furious enough to froth at the gills and snap at his hook. Subjects: History, English. Qraduate of: Pennsylvania State College. Graduate uork at Lehigh University. HARRY M. T1NCKOM By music minds an equal temper know, Nor swell too high, nor sink too low. —Ode on St. Cecilia’s Day Miss Tucker who has been with us for five years, is a teacher in school and a musician out of school. As a member of the Bach Choir, she devotes many evenings to this institution of music. She sings in the choir of the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Allentown, her instructor being Dr. Acker. Her main hobby at school this year is the Harmony Players,” a club of musicians who play guitars, mandolins, and harmonicas. Subjects: Typing, Shorthand. Graduate of : Pierce School of Business Administration at Philadelphia. Post-graduate work at: Susquehanna University, Temple University, Muhlenberg College. MADELINE TUCKER Men, even when alone, lighten their labor by song however rude it may he. —Quintilian Easy now easy! Don’t be frightened by that booming voice that echoes in the hallway. Mr. Ronemus is in a humorous mood telling the kind of jokes Seniors tind laughable in there commercial classes. Even while he is teaching under-class mates his strong voice pierces the walls of classrooms; yet how sweet this tenor voice becomes in song! Step up to him and you will be greeted with a smile that folds his chin. He is quick in his responses and genially alert in his ability to plan window decorations and direct a chorus of boys. Subjects: Commercial Geography, Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, Advertising and Window Decorating. Qrad-uate of : Temple University. Post-graduate workat: Muhlenberg College, Temple University, Penn State College. Self -confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. —Samuel Johnson Here we have a small, amiable, Welsh woman who is intensely interested in the finer things of life. Besides making clothes, beautiful in their simplicity, Miss Roberts, is an excellent conversationalist. With the vast store of knowledge which she derives from books, furthering the intellect, and from travels, she can hold you spellbound for many an evening relating her experiences in the New England States, where people are cold and aloof, to the warm southern states where people are hospitable and genuinely courteous. Subjects: Sewing. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College. Post-gradtuite wttrk at: Muhlenberg College, Columbia University. ELEANOR ROBERTS Blasen ist nicht floeten, ihr muesst die finger bewegen. (To blow is not to play on the flute; you must move the fingers) —Goethe Ambitious, carefree, jovial, these are but few of the adjectives describing this little gentleman. But he, too, has his “melancholy” mood in which he directs the orchestra and band in the absence of the conductor; takes charge of musical equipment. Besides his heavy curriculum schedule; he tutors the new members of the band in the art of handling instruments. We hope he will continue to keep our school in tune, with his scintillating humor and refreshing vigor. Subjects: German, English. Graduate of: Muhlenberg College. Postgraduate work at: Lehigh University, Temple University, EDWIN BERG DR. MAHLON MILLER These hard, well, meaning hands we thrust Among the heart-strings of a friend. —Edward Rowland Sill The great task of keeping us intellectually fit and healthy falls into the sturdy hands of Dr. Miller whose successful work is felt throughout the school and vicinity. His firm set features command attention and to those who know him, he is good-natured, kindly, and humorous, qualities finely suited to his profession. Medical Inspect nr of School. Qraduate of: Kutjtoun State Teachers' College, Medico-Chirugical College of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia College of Anatomy. Interned at Allentown Hospital. Books are the ever burning lamps of accumulated wisdom. —G. W. Curtis Strangers scarcely recognize this small quiet person as a faculty member but we know that she is a very important one. We realize how much we need our library when Miss Hunsberger locks the door saying, Senior High School not allowed.” Outside of school she enjoys travel, reading, and stamp collecting. Her pet turtle and fish often amuse students who should be working. If Miss Hunsberger approaches a student with Do you take German?” we know it is because she wants to practice what she is learning in graduate courses of literature. Subjects: Librarian. Graduate of : Grove City College. Graduate work at: Columbia University and Muhlenberg College. This is art Which does mend nature, changing it rather, but The art itself is nature. —Winter’s Tale We have, this year, several new faces on the faculty, and among these new personalities is Mr. Bortz. This jovial individual specializes in what he expresses as chalk talks without any talk, in addition to besmearing canvasses, bristolboard, and the like, with various colorful pigments. The entire student body will collaborate to ascertain the validity of his depictions of comic characterizations, especially that indiscrete character, “Popeye.” He is not only an artist, but also an athlete of no mean ability. He is our assistant athletic coach, coming to us from Kutztown State Teachers' College where his athletic activities deserve recognition. Subjects: Art. Qraduate of: Allentown Prep School, Kutztown State Teachers' College. Qraduate work at: Kutztown State Teachers' College. HARRIET HUNSBERGER HOMER BORTZ A proper man—a very handsome man —He speaks well. —Othello Formerly a member of the Westinghouse Research Laboratories. Clayton Buell, the pride of the senior chemistry class, was introduced into our faculty at the commencement of our present scholastic year. He likes, very much, to inject humor into our chemistry poems, teaching us humorous associations with which to remember elements, or pointing out strangely familiar ways of doing simple things (such as tearing up our terrible chemistry papers.) Subjects: Mechanical Drawing, Chemistry. Qraduate of: California State Teachers' College. Graduate work at : Perm State, Carnegie Institute of Technology. CLAYTON E. BUELL At sight of thee my gloomy soul cheers up. —Philips Miss Laubach returned to her Alma Mater in a new role — that of a faculty member. Although she has been here only a year we have learned to know her as a very charming and enthusiastic friend and leader. Her interests are varied — music, drama, reading, and sports(as a spectator.) Although very modest about her ability as a pianist, we know that she can provide delightful entertainment. She was an honor student at Wilson College. Subjects: French, Latin. Qraduate of: Wilson College. MARION LAUBACH Now my masters, happy man be his dole, say I, Every man to his business. —Henry The Fourth What ho! where does that sweet smell of timber come from’’’ Sure it must be the manual training department. We enter one of the rooms but see nothing but work-benches and sawdust; but suddenly out of the corner comes a gray-haired man, covered with sawdust, who greets us with Hello there, looking for me?” This is our manual training instructor, who plans a schedule for designing and making furniture and bricabrac. When at home, Mr. Bilheimer loves to cultivate flowers in a beautiful garden surrounding the house. Subjects: Woodwork. Graduate of: Kutztown State Teachers’College. Qraduate uork at: Pennsylvania State College. CLINTON A. BILHEIMER The beauty of the house is order. The blessing of tbe house is contentment, The glory of the house is hospitality. —House Motto What is that delicious odor? Oh yes! some food is being prepared in Miss Seidel’s cooking room, just around the corner. Training girls to become good homemakers seems to be her business. During leisure time, she knits, reads good books, and enjoys the company of her chow dog San Toy.” In and outside of school, she is a friend to all students, even acting as a “Big sister” to those girls who are under her careful guidance and worthy instruction. Subjects: Cooking. Graduate of : Keystone State Teachers' College, Drexel Institute. HELEN SEIDEL Music resembles poetry: in each Are nameless graces uhich no methods teach And u hich a master-hand alone can reach. —Pope: Essay on Criticism Listen fellows: We have band rehearsal next Wednesday night, and don’t forget to be here.” This familiar suggestion is accredited to “Our Director. For many years he has done his utmost to help the band and orchestra in mastering difficult overtures, fantasies, rhapsodies, and “what notes.” Besides being a talented director, he blows a trumpet with a reputation of seldom producing any “sour” notes, an achievement that any human being may justly be proud of. He has been giving individual music lessons to many students interested in orchestral music, and attaining higher levels of learning. Director of Band and Orchestra. Graduate of: Northampton High School, Allentown Business College. HARRY NEWHARD Health is the second blessing that ue mortals are capable of: A blessing that money cannot buy. —Izaak Walton Besides caring for “little and big” children and training young girls in home-nursing (being a very good home-nurse herself). Miss Moyer finds pleasure in cooking, reading, and making her home attractive to the eye, as well as comfortable for the body. Many a cold wintry Saturday afternoon Lottie may be found swimming or rather learning to swim, and relaxing at a popular beach in Allentown; while in the summer she can be found in her vegetable and flower garden, watering and weeding tirelessly. Subjects: Home Nursing, Official School Nurse. Graduate of : Lan. kenau Hospital, Pennsylvania State College. Graduate tvorfc at Muhlenberg College. LOTTIE MOYER, R.N. My hour at last has come; Yet not ingloriously or passively I die, hut first will do some valiant deed, Of which mankind shall hear in after rime. —Homer Amid a maze of copper wire, display boards, and secondhand Ford parts, stands Mr. Yeager directing work on projects whether it be soldering, wiring, or assembling the differential on a Ford. Mechanics are meat to this “jack of all trades” and well does he make use of his abilities in demonstration, and practical work. The yearly exhibit contains a goodly amount of his creative ability, and this event is always looked forward to with expectation. Subject: General Shops. Graduate of: Locust Township High School and Bloomsburg State Normal School. Graduate work at: Muhlenberg Colltge, Pennsylvania Slate College, Oswego Neu York State Teachers' College. LESTER YEAGER I threw a ball into the air. —I made a basket! — Adapted from Longfellow An alumna of our high school, Miss Dotter has had little trouble in taking her place as girls’ coach and health instructress, and winning the hearts of the girls whom she teaches. A year has not been long enough to reveal to us many of her personal traits, but we have learned that outside of school she finds a great deal of pleasure in knitting, listening to good musical programs, and by her own confession, “doodling” on the piano. She also enjoys dancing and all kinds of sports. In short, since she is the personification of good fun and clean sport, we are proud to point to Miss Dotter as “our coach.” Subjects: Health, Supervisor of Athletics. Graduate of: West Chester State Teachers’ College, Summer Course at Penn State. VERNA DOTTER For the age of the intellect” sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of saying. —Carlyle A new member of our faculty and one who has already shown a keen interest in youth is Mr. Bennett. To those who know him personally he is an extremly versatile man with hobbies as an outgrowth of his studies: a proficient beekeeper, raises pigeons, poultry, and is an active craftsman of articles for the home. Among other diversions is a “Buick,” (vintage 77), which has bearing cramp” in the summer, and alcohol spasms,” in the winter. But aside from these activites he manages to devote a goodly share of his time to his classes, and they thrive on his wealth of material. Subject Qeneral Math. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers' College, Muhlenberg College. Extension course at: Muhlenberg College, Lafayette College, Penn State. WILLIAM BENNETT ARLENE REED Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o’er step not The modesty of nature. —Hamlet Who would not get a desire to knit after seeing the beautiful ensemble suits made by Miss Reed, a beautiful teacher, who has come to our faculty this year? Illuminated by her studies of literature and mathematics she was guided to the directing of plays and the teaching of English. With admiration for her interpretation of the play “Dollars to Doughnuts” we appreciate her suggestions for staging our Senior Class play of 1935 and making its performance an outstanding event of our school year. Subjects: Mathematics and English. Graduate of: Northampton Senior High School and Dickinson College. Qraduate work at: Pennsylvania State College. In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men. —Cicero “Hey you 'birds’, get to work!” That is the persuasive order that echoes through the ‘Gym’, and who would not heed when you come face to face with six feet of brawn with a pugnacious grin on his face. “Coach” came to us at the beginning of this year and immediately proceeded to whip a team in shape for football. He built up a new team from “green” members and administered that element that had been lacking for a number of years, confidence in team play within the line. Fast and accurate team work is the tenor of his game. Subjects: Health, Football, Basketball, Gymnasium. Graduate of: The University f Pennsylvania. J. ELWOOD LUDWIG This music crept by me upon the waters Allaying both their fury and my passion With its sweet air. —T EMPEST Smiling, contented, living in her own music world,” meeting her requirements faithfully and standing firm, to the onslaughts of the world as a taskmaster, Miss Newhard impresses the minds of those who come in contact with her. She leads a busy and hustling life with all of the grade schools under her musical supervision. Hurrying from one building to another, she still manages to find time to supervise our school operetta and devote periods to the harmony of the Girls Glee Club. Here is luck to a busy bee.” Subjects: Music, theory and composition. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers’ College, Pennsylvania State College. Graduate work at: Pennsylvania State College. HELEN M. NEWHARD SENIOR CLASS VERNON ANDREWS JOHN SAFELDI Vernon Andrews John Safeldi -Arlene Deisher -Harold Rinker ARLENE DEISHER President Vice President Secretary Treasurer HAROLD RINKER SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS KATHERINE LOUISE DEIBERT 229 East 21st Street Culture is tHe passion for sweetness and light, and the passion for making them prevail. —Matthew Arnold Dainty, demure and sweet! Guess who? Why, of course no one but Louise.” Under that quiet exterior there is exceptional capacity and ability, packed into her small head. This is proved by her attendance at High School, where she rated as one of our best students. Not only as a student, she excels, but in social leadership. As President of the Girl Reserves, her excellent management and constant endeavor greatly aided the Club in reaching its present high standing. “Kitty is popular among the fellows and girls alike, and because of her ability to dance well, is much in demand for social functions. We look forward to the culmination of her efforts in successful achievement. Academic Course. President of Girl Reserves, President of National Honor Society, Dramatic Club, Junior Oratorical Contest, Ring Committee, Amptennian Staff, Glee Club, Health Revue, Lantern Land,” “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” Rings in the Sawdust,” “One Night in Bethlehem,” Vice President of Homeroom. JACK GUSS 305 East 9th Street To the man who himself strives earnestly, Qod also lends a helping hand. —Aeschylus Determination to stick to the football squad even though the all important factor of weight was against him; personality and friendliness to gain a score of friends (especially a certain Junior girl) upon his arrival to our fair “hamlet” in his freshman year; ability to take a leading part in the Senior class play, and his outstanding dancing achievements; wit as expressed in his never to be forgotten English Compositions; and initiative to go out into the world, and make a name for himself—these qualities are imbedded in Jack, an outstanding and cherished member of our class. Academic Course. Football, Hi-Y, Student Council, “Dollars to Doughnuts,” Gym team, “Lantern Land,” “Rings in the Sawdust,” “One Night in Bethlehem,” Amptennian Staff. MARGUERITE H1LDT Danielsvilte, Pa. Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities. —Madame de Stoel “Everybody loves our Marguerite—and who could help it. Surely no one can resist her twinkling eyes and winning personality. Marguerite is such a friendly sort of person that most of us have learned to know her quite well although she came to our school for just one year. From the very beginning she has astonished us with her classroom recitations and proved that her shyness and modesty are merely a covering for her welcome wit, determination, and sportsmanship. Mere mention of these, her host of friends, and above all, her undeniable charm, are positive signs of the attainment of her ambition. Academic Course. Girl Reserves, Glee Club, Amptennian Staff, “One Night in Bethlehem.” LUTHER J. MINNICH Cherryville, Pennsylvania Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness. —Samuel Johnson “He floats through the air with the greatest ease....” not floating, but FLYING is the enchanted word, which to this sunny, blackhaired chap, is the very essence of his greatest ambition. To be an air pilot has been Luther’s most active desire for several years. The clouds present a rather high aiming limit, but not too high for an adventurous youth. Luther’s good nature, and frank, engaging smile have won him many friends; not only among the fair sex (to whom he is a perpetual heartbeat), but also among “the fellows.” Academic Course. Hi-Y, Band, Orchestra, Student Council. RENAE ADA YOUNG 1916 Washington Avenue There’s music in the sighing of a reed; There’s music in the gushing of a nil: There’s music in all things, if men had ears: Their earth is but an echo of the sphere. —Byron “Has anyone seen the pianist?” is the common cry in the Northampton Senior High School. The pianist is none other than bright-eyed Renae who makeseveryone sway involuntarily as soon as she touches the keys of the piano. She is not only talented and fond of playing the piano but reading good books. Her favorite sports are dancing and swimming. She is not only greatly admired by all the girls but also by those of the opposite sex. Academic Course. Girl Reserves, President of the Orchestra, Dramatic Club. Girls Glee Club, “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” “Rings in the Sawdust.” HARWOOD PARRY Danielsville, Pennsylvania Gentle to others, to himself severe. —Rogers A quiet, rather serious, likeable fellow. ... is that Harwood? Likeable, yes. But quiet?. . . . Well, perhaps he is when by himself, but observation when in certain company, has exposed the fact, that his lungs are in perfect working condition. Serious? . . he is—but we know a certain “maiden,” whose presence can change his most pensive mood into one of lightheartedness, or perhaps lightheadedness would be more to the point, maybe this is due to high blood or rather high “blond” pressure; we are not sure. But his malady, whatever its cause, is only temporary, we believe, so we’re not much worried. Academic Course. Hi-Y, Operetta, “One Night in Bethlehem.” BOHDAN ULANYTZKY 1343 Newport Avenue Be noble.1 and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, but never dead, Will rise in majesty to meet thine own. —Lowell One musty afternoon a dark Hudson drove up in front of our school and a tall, well-rounded fellow emerged. He surveyed the building, squared his shoulders and with an air of defiance strode up the steps. Since that day he has proved himself worthy of a Northampton High School graduation, by distinguishing himself as a truly good sport, and polished gentleman. That quality of eagerness to task has placed him in the position where we can call him a friend in need. Little has been known as to what path Bode” would choose, but it has been revealed to the Editor that he intends to go abroad and study in an abbey to become a priest. Bon Voyage, O Son of Trials and Tribulation.” Academic Course, Debating Club, Band, Orchestra, Hi-Y Club, Junior Oratorical Contest, Amptennian Staff. CATHRYN RUPP 331 East 9th Street Joy, in Nature’s wide dominion. Mightiest cause of all is found; And ’tis joy that mot es the pinion When the u heel of time goes round. —Schiller “Hya, boys!” That’s Rupp’s greeting to whomever she sees wherever she goes. Friends, basketball, and talking are Rupp’s pet interests. She is the all around athletic type of girl. (All around the building, and all around creation!) Her ambition is to call all the Congressmen of Pennsylvania by their first names. However the serious part of her disposition is revealed in her desire to continue her course of study at “Hood College and become a teacher. Academic Course. Girl Reserves, Basketball, Rings in the Sawdust,” “Lantern Land, “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” Girls Glee Club, Health Revue. KENNETH SMITH 1825 Washington Avenue Blessed u ith plain reason and common sense. Quiet, energetic, secretive, studious—that’s the way Kenneth appears to us. Being of a quiet and unobtrusive nature we have not been able to know as much about him as we would like. However, he is a great favorite of sports and is always on hand for a game of football or tennis. Problems of Democracy” seems to be his favorite subject, and the orchestra, his favorite diversion. Kenneth has been rather shy of the opposite sex but perhaps somewhere else, there’s a reason.” Kenneth is the type of person, that is bound to have a life filled with service and success. Academic Course. Hi-Y Club, Band. Orchestra, Student Council, National Honor Society, Amptennian Staff, “Lantern Land,” Glee Club. ANTHONY T1MAR 504 East Ilth Street Why courage then! what cannot he avoided 'Twere childish weakness to lament or fear. From the “X Bar X Boys.” Anthony learned the courage, per-severence and character of men who become heroes. Underlying this admiration, Anthony has found a certain conviction that helps him in the discipline of his own life. His natural inclinations reveal a love for logical things in the study of Commercial Arithmetic, Algebra, and Grammar. To do the work required in an office in this commercial student’s desire. Baseball for physical exercise, and mathematics for the intellect are the exercises he chooses to develop and fit him for the routine required in the world of commercial activity. O yes, he takes dictation quite accurately and types well. Commercial Course. Basketball, Baseball, Football, Student Council. ALICE HARTZELL Route 2, Walnurport, Pa. Men as in no way approach so nearly to the gods in doing good to men. —Cicero Tiny—but, oh my! It has always been said that good things are concealed in small packages. After becoming thoroughly acquainted with Alice, we feel that there is much truth in at least one of the old adages. Being naturally very quiet, Alice is sometimes rather hesitant about making new friends quickly; however she is always eager to accept and return all friendly advances, making such plutonic relationships desirable and pleasant. We hear very little from her lips about any male admirers, but we’ve discovered at least one fact—she’s partial to “flaming locks and blue eyes—so we draw our own conclusions. Whatever fate may have in store for her in the future, we wish her success and happy achievement. Academic Course. Glee Club. ALBERT BILOVESKY 101 West 10th Street Happy am I; from care I’m free! Why aren’t they all contented like me! Opera of La Bayadere As student manager of football and basketball, Albert has fullfilled his obligations with admirations. To help the “Coach” with many unexpected duties is one of his hobbies. Known as the Coach’s right hand man, Albert’s silent and studious manner keeps affairs in athletics running smoothly. His shy subtle humor unexpectedly arouses mirth in a group that would be likely to become passive if he were not about. Because he is reluctant to express himself in regard to serious subjects, we know little of his wordly interests. Contentment is his continual feast; so we make note of this characteristic, too rare among us. General Course. Student Manager, “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” Rings in the Sawdust,” Class Basketball. SHERWOOD JONES 132 East 20th Street In framing an artist, art hath thus decreed, To nutke some good, hut others to exceed. —Pericles A drum, some tools, and a tent; that’s what I call contentment. A drum to satisfy his rhythmic sense of music; some tools to quell his inventive genius; and a tent to get in a deeper contact with Mother Nature. “Cheve” has achieved so much in each of these distinctively different hobbies that it is difficult to stress any one in particular though as drummer in our band and orchestra he seems to have enchanted us most. Be it drummer, inventor, or “Camper supreme” in the hereafter it is certain that “Cheve” will tackle the job - first with that “Jones grin”- then apply the “Jones infinite capacity” and stick to the task till it is not only finished but perfect.

ALLEN BEHRINGER 1543 Main Street Between good sense and good taste there is the difference between cause and effect. —La Bruyere Allen is a classmate with a many-sided disposition. When one supposes that he will be silent, he can be heard; when one expects that he will be loud in his protest, he is silent. Whether his disposition changes with the weather or his easy - going mood we have not decided. With a few persons he is content; with many people he is restless. As the editor writes Allen’s biography he would like to see him glance at this photograph and say, It is I.” At times he is proud of being indifferent, then again, he shines with ambition. Depending upon his point of view either “pro” or “con” Allen’s way is set. General Course. Music Club, Assistant Manager of Basketball, “Rings in the Sawdust,” Student Manager for Basketball.

She is not only athletically inclined as far as basketball is concerned, but she also has a great capacity for outdoor sports. Helen has proved to be a first-rate forward during her four years of active participation in basketball. She hopes to enter nursing profession, and with the splendid traits she possesses, we are sure that she will succeed by hard work.

What a meaning; what a privilege to live up to the qualities and character of such leadership! It is more than the formal passing of subjects; it requires the continual practice of those principles that make him worthy of the name.

As Miss Hunsberger’s assistant, she has spent many happy hours learning the business of a librarian until she has decided to become a librarian.

Browning A sturdy fellow is John: who played a good game of football, who listened well in classes, who was respectful to his classmates and teachers, who enjoyed a hearty laugh at the right time and quietly furthered the interest of his class. Few students know John’s quiet, subtle yet pleasant personality. Reluctant to express himself too freely, many classmates were inclined to let this warm lad to himself. He appears to take life as it comes without being too worried about future days. Being young, he has yet to find his great ambition and when he does, we can recall from his recitations that he will develop the opportunity. Commercial Course. Football, Basketball, Health Revue.

Having the record for being the best salesman the class has ever known, “Turk” is slated as a loyal member of our Alma Mater.

Shy and quiet at first, Arlene has developed into a prominent member of our class. In summer she is a typical outdoor girl who loves swimming and camping.

She has shown herself a sympathetic advisor and eager to render service. She claims her favorite pastimes are swimming and dancing.

Your tall, dignified dear self will cheer up any sick person. Keep your smiles, your laughing eyes, your quiet peace, and the world is yours. Driving an automobile ought to prepare you for the Visiting Nurses’ Association. So with your reading, your sewing, and your nursing, we hope to hear from you. Academic Course. German Club, Catering Club. JOHN CHANDICK 2125 Northampton Avenue A man of courage is full of faith. —Cicero Do you want to know which is the best automobile? Ask John. Do you want to know about the automobile records? Ask John. Do you want to know which automobile can be driven with the least cost? Ask John. Of course he told us something about automobiles in oral composition; but he knows more than he had time to explain in class. John is a member of the Jones. Yes, the Jones, the welsh organization of high school! A strong voice, a fast step, a walk that takes him quickly to his destination gives you an idea of John, a boy with tremendous energy. Commercial Course. Commercial Club, Class Basketball. GIRARD STRYKER Laurys, Pennsylvania Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life But needs it and may team. —Bailey Girard made his first public performance in High School in the play, “One Night in Bethlehem.” With genuine sympathy, loving thought, and affectionate kindness his interpretation of a shepherd boy was nearly perfect. We have wondered why his pleasing voice had not been discovered before that time. Perhaps it is due to his rather quiet disposition. From a shy lad who entered our school, he developed to be a courteous, manly fellow we all love. Since he is very tall and fair-complected, he appears even more attractive with a brunette of our graduating class. Will he become a manager of out-door sports? It is his main interest. General Course. “One Night in Bethlehem,” Stage Manager, Printing Club. ANNA YEHL Laurys, Pennsylvania Things that have a common quality ever quickly meet their kind. —Marcus Aurelius Anna isthe decided brunetteofour class fromthe pretty country town of Laurys. A happy girl of quiet ways is she, enjoying subjects of a scientific nature. This year chemistry has captured her attention so that fluids draw near and at the unfortunate moment have the habit of spilling on her, not revengefully as one may think, but with an attraction for her response. Rumor has it that she will attend a higher institution of learning for further study. What the course may be, the editor has been unable to learn. Do let us know, Anna! Academic Course. German Club, Catering Club, Glee Club. CURTIS SELTZER 1537 Washington Avenue Of such affection and unbroken faith As temper life's worst bitterness. —Shelley One might think the President of the Hi-Y to be an arrogant individual, but the honor of his office has not reached his cranium, for “Bromo” is a sociable and prominent member of the Senior Class. During his High School career he has accumulated a host of feminine admirers, but he admits having affinity for daughters of clergymen. He declines to Teveal to us the secret of his success, but there’ll come a day.” His pet diversions are peeling “spuds” during vacation time at Camp Trexler, and spilling acids anytime in Chemistry Class. According to his plans, he contemplates being either a machinist or a mortician, the latter profession we feel is too “dead” for his personality. Academic Course. President of Hi-Y, “Rings in the Sawdust, One Night in Bethlehem. MARGUERITE ERDOSY 1913 Main Street For Art is Nature made by Man To Man the interpreter of God. —Meredith “Home is so reverent! Home is so true! Home is so lovely to me. Home is the place where only the good are always so happy to be.” Here we have a quotation of the kind of poetical writing Marguerite loves to do in her leisure moments. To her poetry and prose she adds illustration which she draws beautifully and colors exquisitely. She is the artist of our class and our one regret is that we find it too difficult to finance the art work she could do for this book. So colorful, and beautiful is this “Dresden doll” we anticipate her future work, recognized in the needs of the art world. Commercial Course. Art Club, Glee Club, “Rings in the Sawdust,” “Lantern Land,” “Love Pirates of Hawaii.” NORMAN BORGER Northampton, Route 2 The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land. —Emerson Who can forget this youug man’s oral compositions concerning the value of 4-H Club work and its importance to farm life. The strength of his thought had roots of power in a conviction in his own life. Had he not been successful in raising unusual potatoes which won him a prize! In school he strives diligently to find the words and experiences of an abstract nature that translate itself in the nature of outdoor experiences. May he continue the study of agriculture and encourage other young people in the diligent ways of a farmer’s life so that they, too, can look up and extend the plain. Academic Course.

ELSIE HALL 163b Washington Avenue The confidence which we have in ourselves gives birth to much of that which we have in others. —La Rochefoucauld Let us introduce to you the “Big sister” of our class, a girl whose serious attitude toward life squelches all nonsense in a group where some students would be unnecessary. When she assumes the responsibility of any work, it is done carefully and well. A gentleness so becoming to woman is her personal charm, the quality that inspires children to love and obey her. Her intetests are of a domestic nature: baking, reading, and hiking. In all virtues her pleasiug manner spell the “little woman” in our dear Elsie. Academic Course.

Stewart talks of wood—he is some carpenter who can be fastly proud of his things his patience fashioned. Besides the life of a pigeon-carrier is so interesting to him. he volunteered to tell a class, then the entire student body about its well established record.

FRANCES SHARFMAN lt)91 Newport Avenue In her experience all her friends rtlied. Heaven was her help and nature was her guide. —Crabbe Thrills, excitement, and surprises keep Frances alive. To go to New York City is her greatest pleasure. Fast going, the swift moving of traffic, holds her fascinated. Swimming and roller-skating are her out-door versions of real sport; indoors, it is stenography. Frances can type well but her fiitty mind finds it difficult to remember the meaning of some important symbols. A little more application, a little more thought and we imagine that she will lightly pass along the trials and tribulations of the business carried on in offices. “Frances, dial for Mr. K, the advertising manager. Thank you.” Commercial Course. Glee Club, “Rings in The Sawdust,” Commercial Club, Red Cross Club. ALEX FODOR 1040 Canal Street When the sappy houghs Attire themselves with blooms sweet rudiments Of future harvest. —John Philips The editor would have thought that Alex had athletics as his one great interest; but no, he secretly told us that he has a new hobby—that of grafting trees and roses. This is important information for it promises to continue our interest in the study of nature—a kind of study that will cultivate more thoroughly some of our choice trees and flowers of today. As our classmate, we can recall this student manager about his duties with a serious attitude. In fact all things Alex tried to do, he does very well because he takes his work seriously. Commercial Course. Football, Basketball, Student Manager, Health Revue, Usher, Glee Club. CARL E. GABEL Cherryville, Pa. The hand that follows intellect can achieve. —Michael Angelo Carl is a quiet, serious and businesslike sort of fellow. His natural reserve keeps him rather aloof in the presence of strangers; however, among his closest friends, his display of unassuming friendliness, and unexpected dry humor, make him an interesting companion. Upon such inconsequential things as girls, Carl doesn’t spend any time; but when it comes to man-sired problems of science and mathematics, Carl is right at home. We have an idea that after high school, Carl will follow his Dad’s footsteps and stay “next to the land.” In this or anything else he may engage in, we wish him the “best o' luck. Academic Course.

Statistics show us that he physically has passed the infant stage many many years ago, for his total weight at present is two hundred thirty pounds (twenty-five were added last summer at C. M. T. C.) which he used to an advantage in our football team. He has given us no indication of what the nature of his work will be after he will have been graduated, but with the use of some of his energy which he did not use in school, we are confident that he will succeed. General Course. Varsity Football, Hi-Y. STERLING MILLER Bethlehem, Route 2 O, Christ! it is a goodly sight to see What Heaven hath done for this delicious land! Sterling, from the countryside near Shoenersville, is the only representative in our High School from that section. When he entered high school inSeptember 1931, he was a very bashful boy, but when he became a senior he could be heard distinctly in room fourteen with some of his classmates. His boisterous outbursts of laughter echo through the building during lunch period. Sterling takes a great interest in the sports of baseball and basketball. Although he comes from the country, he hardly ever misses a game. In school he enjoys the “Lab” where he mixes a few acids to see what reaction takes place. Since he is a member of that vast organization “The Sons of the Soil,” we predict for him a successful future. General Course. Kodak Club, “One Night in Bethlehem,” Class Basketball.

As a member of the 4-H Club. Allen has made the work his hobby.

Her hobby is dancing: none could be a better partner. “If,” her popular title seems to be in accordance with her whole self for she frequently changes her mind, keeping many a person in suspense. Her academic work has led her to choose clerking as her vocation. She has not yet decided on a particular place to carry on this work, yet we feel sure that her cheerful outlook of life will make her feel at ease anywhere. Academic Course.

ROY ANDREW Northampton, Route 1 Who seeks for aid Must show how sen ice sought can he repaid. —Owen Meredith Adventurous, friendly, talkative, and cheerful; these few adjectives only help to characterize this gentleman from Howertown. Possessed with a readiness to serve fellow classmates, and the school, Roy has made a place for himself in the annals of High School. One of his greatest dislikes is the reading of books, but nevertheless we feel sure he reads “Popeye” and “Chip Collins.” Several of his diversions are; driving a “wheezy” Chevrolet, blowing a “tooth whistle” (harmonica); and entertaining the girls during the lunch hour. Well Roy, here's wishing you a long trip on the open roads. General Course. Music Club, Harmonica Club, German Club, “One Night in Bethlehem, “Rings in the Sawdust. HILDA FICKERT Bath. Route 2 Books should to one of these four ends conduce. For uisdom, piety, delight, or use. —Sir John Denhoven Here is a strong, athletic girl who enjoys swimming and hiking for exercise, and reading—much of good reading—for the exercise of the mind. Despite the many warnings that she reads too much, her long hours of leisure find her engrossed in a book—all kinds of books. Does this interest contribute to her natural cheerfulness? Happy is she when many students around her look sullen. Every new thing is a challenge to her. Thoroughly alive she provokes a thought, a question that punctuates many class periods. Because her fresh remarks are pertinent, she causes dreamers to start in the face of thought. Commercial Course. Girl Reserves, Catering Club, Library Club, Knitting Club.

John’soneevident interestin high school besides the course of study is athletics. To manage teams, to keep a team well prepared with material things, and comfortable in time of stress pleases within him a sense of duty.

However, we’ve a slight suspicion that he comes to school every day to rest and recuperate from the preceding night’s work. “Chick’s” three inseparable companions are “Dutties”, women, and his pipe (it’s paid for) but we suspect that in the near future they will be: “the club”; wife; and a Ford. Although greatly pessimistic about life, and willing to criticise everyone and everything about him, we’re sure “Chick” will find the “Royal Road to Romance.” General Course.

This is the truth, for never before has a lad entered the portals of N. H. S. like a “clam” and left like a “dozen oysters”, but Alex certainly has.

He does not believe in the saying that “people should be seen and not heardbut when he is heard you can rest assured that his words are friendly and congenial. Andrew intends to be a publisher of some great newspaper and with this as his goal we know he will succeed. Of the many boys in our class, Andrew is the neatest and most attractively dressed.

WE MEDITATE H PARTING time must come for all, but ours has come so soon, Our hearts the sweet past would recall and all the joys we’ve known. But Time, relentless Gypsy King, our loitering despises, And calls us on, impatiently, to new and far horizons. But e’re we fondly say, “adieu,” in retrospection back we’ll stray, And at the shrine of friendship true, our grateful tribute will we pay. To those who taught us how to meet, both well-earned triumph and defeat; Whose guidance showed us, joy and grief, go hand in hand to make life sweet. Who showed us that it’s not in gold—but in men’s souls that true worth lies, Who raised our standards ever high, and made our goal the azure skies. And so it’s with these memories, about our heart fore’er entwined, We’ll leave the pasts’ content and ease, and other pathways seek to find. The “Eternal Future” lies ahead, with glorious promise glowing, The sunlight’s in our happy eyes, no fear our hearts are knowing; We’ve felt the lure of wanderlust, and whether it be peace or strife That we shall meet, with all our might we’re out to play The Game of Life. —Marguerite D. Hildt CLASS HISTORY 1935 IN OUR Sophomore year we were still too new to have any class activities except organ-ization and getting used to our position as high school students. However, as Juniors and Seniors, our school lives were made much more interesting by extra-curricular activities. Some of these were for the high school or clubs, but many were strictly for and by our class. Of the latter, those which were recorded will be revealed to you by some excerpts from the diary and letters of “Nemo Person,” a typical member of the class of ’35. THE JUNIOR YEAR 1933 Nov.

Feb. 24 Dear Pal: 1 attended the Junior Oratorical Contest last night. It was great. The nicest part about it was that the selections were so varied and interesting.

Formal announcement of Miss Martin and Mr. Smith as class advisors. ...........“ We’ve been having heaps of fun in this ticket selling contest with the Juniors. I don’t know whether to feel hopeful or worried. Both classes have been keeping their sales secret. Mighty queer things have been happening the last few nights. During the early hours of the mornu g, Vernon, Jack, ‘Weasel’ and John drove to ‘Catty,’ and stole the wreath, flowers and ‘tombstone’ with this epitaph for Northampton: 'Here lies Northampton buried by Catasauqua, the score 26-0. At school the next day, the relics were placed in the show cases, causing a great deal of amusement among the students.” ...........“The contest closed at noon. In the afternoon at the Pep Meeting, Mr. Smith got up to tell us the news that we were all waiting to hear. After stalling until we were all sitting on the edges of our seats, he finally announced that the Seniors had won. Rah, Rah, Seniors! Of course we demanded the penalty. The Juniors had to go up on the stage. The boys removed their ties, rolled up their sleeves and sang the Alma Mater to the girls, who knelt before them.” CLASS HISTORY 1935 (Continued) 1934 Dec. 4 Dec. 5 Dec. 16 Dec. 18 Dec. 21 1935 Jan. 3 Jan. 14 Jan. 15 Jan. 21-26 Feb. 7 Mar. 1 Mar. 14 Mar. 27 1935 Apr. 9 Dear Chum: I’m awfully sorry you’re sick today.

Some of the movies were Babbit,” taken from i inclair Lewis’s novel that won the Nobel Prize in literature, “Forsaking All Others,” “Babes in Toyland.” Dear Pal: “1 just came home from our Senior Class Play, Dollars to Doughnuts.” Really it was a scream. Laughing at it kept me wide awake. (That’s the explanation of this late hour.) It’s a story about a family that finds to its sorrow that you can’t be rich and poor at the same time. That doesn’t seem to make sense but 1 don’t know how else to explain it. At any rate, the whole affair causes an awful lot of complications............. There was a pretty good attendance, and 1 think we can call our play a real success, dramatically and financially.” Our cast of “Dollars to Doughnuts went to see the same play as given in Slatington.

Ulanytzky YOUTH ON PARADE In a contest conducted by the Comenian Literary Society of Moravian College and Theological Seminary, Bethlehem, Pa., the following essay by Marguerite D. Hildt was selected the best from twenty-seven essays submitted by ten schools of Northampton and Lehigh Counties. HERE youth is, there abides Eternal Springtime. There also an atmosphere of unique magnetism per-i vades, which offers a thrilling response to that innate, intangible quality of the soul, confident, courageous, and enthusiatic, it embodies the achievement of the oldest dreams and aspirations of the world; strong, pure and vibrant, it is the acme of human idealism. The eager anticipation of youth, so ready to accept which it loves, and as quick to reject what repels it, flings into the very face of life a challenge, which demands no less than the very best can be offered. Yielding ro the irresistible lure of the unknown, with sweet abandon, youth follows the winding trail, the end of which no man knows, but he who travels. But youth with all its impulsive nature and adventurous spirit is not indifferent, but purposeful; not willfully reckless to a greater extent than previous generations, but rather self-confident and fearless. Although prone to the aspiration of idealistic heights, the young people of today are not such victims of romantic obsession—which has been incorrectly accepted as the criterion by which they are judged—as some people would attempt to persuade us. In fact, the young people of today are emerging victoriously from the maze of social unrest and political upheaval, which is now prevalent, as level-headed, practical, and progressive citizens. They do not merely accept situations passively, nor regard them with affected nonchalance, but demand the principles of cause and cure. Then with an inimitable display of energy and courage throw themselves wholly into the attainment of an improved condition. They do not with a cowardice of a weakling evade thetruth.andbysuch evasion seek to escape knowledge as an excuse for neglect of duty: instead with admirable frankness, they demand the facts about things as they really are, and whether favorable or otherwise try to face them with the unfailing optimism which has proved their most charming characteristic. Youth is dynamic! Youth is vitally interested in this “Game of Life.” Youth craves the exhilaration of active competition; the satisfaction of victorious achievement. The modern young person is easily won by a worthy cause, but quickly antagonized by fraudulent designs. Youth is quick to recognize sincerity in others as well as the lack of it. Confidence is something, the beauty of which, once marred by betrayal, will never quite regain to its former degree of perfection. Loyalty is quickly pledged and faithfully kept. Youth clings to an exalted standard of action which scorns cheating as unworthy of adoption; despises favoritism as a mark of weakness, and desires above all qualities a success, won not by cunning, but by true worth. The young people of today are gradually finding themselves; discovering their rightful places in the sun. That they are the future masters of the world, they realize, anticipation not retrospection is theirs. With infinite peace and hope filling each throbbing heart, with a smile of faith caressing tender lips, and glorious dreams nesting in shining eyes-a gallant crew-Youtfi Marches On. —Marguerite D. Hildt CLASS PROPHECY ONE Million Dollars! Is it mine?” “Yes, $1,000,000 and it’s all yours.” “But what shall I do with it?” “Spend it any way you like.” “Woe is me.. . . how can I get rid of a million dollars?” This is the problem put before the members of the graduating class: “What would you do, if you had a million dollars?” Since the word “if” is included in the question, we hope no serious damage wilt result from this supposition. Showing how our classmates would spend this money, we believe will give a rather accurate prophecy of our class and its members [we have high hopes for the future.] We sincerely hope that you, the reader, will not be too startled, amazed, or shocked, as the case may be, by the plans made by our classmates to dispose of this unearthly sum of “$1,000,000.00” cash. [We, too, might be dumbfounded at your plans.] We here give the most fascinating parts of each plan for disposal of the required sum.

Sherwood Jones These plans, if they may be termed as such, reveal that few, if any, actually know how enormous the sum of “One Million Dollars” really is. Since we have printed the supreme desire of each of our classmates in spending so large a sum of money, there is but one main reason: to prophecy to parents what “might” come to pass when “Johnny” or Mary” start saving their “pennies, nickels, and dimes.” If we ever acquire that amount of money and suddenly find ourselves in “Utopia,” it will be an easy matter, as disclosed in this prophecy, to dispose of excess funds. Finally, we, the class of ’35, look forward in all earnestness and sincerity to the time when all wishes, desires, and “daydreams” will become a reality — to the time when we, every last one of us, will know the true meaning of success, satisfaction, and happiness. —Vernon Andrews ALUMNI REVIEW ! IS again the privilege of the Alumni I Association of Northampton High S School to bring a message for the year book of the Class of 1935 to all Alumni members as well as to those about to be initiated into the largest organization in Northampton. O, Alma Mater! strong and fair, we pray that you have caused a permanent charm upon each one who has felt thy helping hand! Yes, your high school Alma Mater is just a simple but rather majestic structure which cannot boast of much beauty or magnificence. But does it not reflect the community in which it stands? Your Alma Mater is just as grand and glorious as you make it. The very life of each one of its members may bring it honor or disgrace, fame or bad report, victories or defeats, vast accomplishments in various fields or criminal charges. Beautiful lives leave beautiful impressions. We cannot help but meditate upon “The Perfect Life” if we want a challenging pattern to copy. Let us assume that your body is a beautiful temple where virtue, cleanliness, and temperance must be maintained at any price. When you have a body as strong and healthful as you can make it, you shall be able to enjoy your friendships, as well as help others, more abundantly. Your power for receiving educational training will be much more alert and receptive. And may we hope, that you will not forget the soul within you which needs spiritual nurture and enrichment from day to day just as your body needs bread and meat to provide strength. The complete life may be likened unto a table supported by four legs. If one of those legs becomes loose, the table wobbles and becomes unsafe. But if we repair the leg, it will become safe and strong for use again. And so it is with our body and soul. Our life is only as efficient and beneficial as we permit it to be. Strive always to retain a virtuous body, to gain more knowledge constantly, to help others unselfishly, and to remember your Creator daily. As an Alumni Association, we have not been as active as we might have been, bur our Thanksgiving and Post-Christmas functions were both outstanding social successes. We will strive again to provide an interesting anniversary and initiatory program for the annual June celebration. This year, with the cooperation of every Alumnus, we will strive to set an attendance record. And lastly, we congratulate every member of the class of 1935 upon attaining a rating of scholarship which entitles him or her to graduate in June and to become a member of the Alumni Assocation. May you feel it is a distinct honor to graduate from Northampton High School as well as to belong to the Alumni. We wish good health, hard work, an interesting hobby, and the best of luck to each graduating member of the class of 1935. —Lloyd C. Schisler President of Alumni Association CLASS SONGS During the process of determining which song was most suitable for class use, two sheets of excellent material were discovered. The first, and the choice of the class, was submitted by Vernon Samuel Andrews; the second, by Katherine Louise Deibert and Renae Ada Young, was of such excellent nature that the staff decided to place it in print. CLASS SONG Written by Vernon Samuel Andrews ORTH AMPTON HIGH SCHOOL, now is time for parting The hour has come when we must say adieu, Thy blessed portals are slowly closing Upon our school days as we renew Our pledge to reverence each moment fondly; To cling to friendships that we made here; To keep thy teachings e’er before us And forever hold thy honor dear. Our eyes straight forward and hope within us, No thought of failure can stop us now As we start our journey o’er life’s strange pathway. “Go ever foreward” you’ve taught us how. We love thee, High School, and will ne’er forget thee, Though in the future we may find fame This phrase and glory to thee we’ll credit. For “Class of Thirty-five” we’ll make a name. Northampton High School, now we sadly leave thee, Our days well spent here are forever gone. You’ve been to us as a guiding spirit And now we start out in life alone. Each heart will cherish some pleasant memory Of Alma Mater, and on through time “To Live and Learn” will be our motto As life’s steep pathway we slowly climb. CLASS SONG Words written by Katherine Louise Deibert Music written by Renae Ada Young EIGH SCHOOL days were full of pleasure, But these joys can ne’er return. Now the time has come for parting We must leave to “Live and Learn,” Not with sorrow, but rejoicing, Not with fear but courage high. Let no thought of failure halt us; We’ll succeed as time rolls by, For the future lies before us, Full of hope for those who try. Classmates, as we start our journey Over Life’s long, strange highway, Let us promise to each other Faithful to our school we’ll stay Grateful for her watchful guidance, In the future we will strive That our deeds, their fame returning Pleasant memories may revive. Then with pride she may remember All the class of thirty-five. With the torch of knowledge gleaming Held aloft to light our way, We set out, a goal before us. New life comes with each new day “Onward, upward” is our motto, Thinking not of errors past. Songs and prayers our lips are voicing, Hopes and dreams we all hold fast. With His help who built the first world May we wisely build the last. CLASS WILL HERE COMES, in the course of all human events, a specific time for the accomplishment of certain significant deeds. In view of this, it occurs to us, that we ourselves are about to experience just such a crucial moment. Surely, this hour—in which we have the honor and privilege, of acknowledging the completion of four years of strenuous labor, mastering (?) our studies—is worthy of no less consideration. In spite of our exhaustion after such excessive mental strain, as was aforesaid, we will yet force ourselves to undergo the extreme agony of one more piece of literary composition: Therefore.... Considering ourselves to be of sound body, —and with persistent optimism persuading ourselves that our minds are in the same condition —not knowing the day nor the hour wherein we may cease to exist, we ‘hereby’ and ‘herewith,’ expose the contents of our last will and testament.... Section I To the faculty we bequeath the following: 1 To Mr. Ronemus, a new couple to supply the vacancy left by Catherine Piervallo and Mark Piscitelli. 2 For Mr. Bortz, a phonograph which will supply the words to his famous “chalk talks.” 3 To Miss Hunsberger, more patience in dealing with “these smart Seniors” and a new assistant to replace the fidelity of Pauline Smith. 4 To Mr. Buell, a Chemistry class with a keener appreciation of his jokes. 5 To Mr. Sheaffer and Mr. Smith, a standard system of measurement, with which to decide upon the size of the fish they catch. Section II To the Underclassmen we will: 1 To Marion Thomas, a new boy friend to take the place of Jack Guss when he deserts her at graduation. 2 To Woodrow Lindenmoyer, John Safeldi’s basketball ability. 3 To John Tarafas, Bohdan’s habit of breaking chairs. 4 To Olga Bilyk, Irene Fedorak’s giggle. 5 To Paul Nicholas, Curtis Seltzer’s ability to gain the affections of Clergymen’s daughters. 6 To Susie Assed, Cathryn Rupp’s prominence with the opposite sex. 7 To James Yale, Donald Laub’s P. of D. Philosophy. 8 To Marian Weaver, Katherine Louise Deibert’s ability to hold three out of four fiddies. 9 To Donald Kline, Wilson Heckman’s ability to destroy chemical equipment, especially test tubes in the laboratory. 10 To John Humenik, Frank Tanczos’ability to collect compacts from the fairer sex. 11 To Melvin Procanyan, John Sylvester’s acting ability. 12 To Beatrice Roth, “Weasal’s (Elvin Andrews) affinity to see the humorous side of things. Section III Miscellaneous: 1 To the Juniors, our Amptennian debts. 2 Also the frankfurter with which they measured the dimensions of the school building. 3 To the Sophomores, Albert Newhard’s salesmanship. 4 To the incoming Freshman Class, the Seniors’ meekness before graduation. Having reached with great difficulty, the conclusion of this weighty matter, with characteristic generosity, we are ready, even envious, to give the rest of the responsibility—that of executing the enclosed directions —to ourwor thy successors,.... the Juniors. We, the undersigned, by our signature insure the validity of this document.

Many important and interesting facts have taken place during our Junior year. One of the most interesting events that took place was the selling of Northampton—Catasauqua football tickets in the form of a contest, between the “Dignified Seniors,” and the Juniors. Another event in the Junior year was that of the Junior Oratorical Contest; the most interesting contest the Juniors staged. Contestants receiving first prize were, Helen Hradkowsky, and Russell Kowalyshyn. The second prizes were received by Emma Budihaus and James Yale. The remaining contestants were: Olga Dwarnick, Eilus Halde-man, Catherine Hrinda and Donald Kline. We, the Junior Class, look forward to our Senior year, in which we hope to make a more successful year than we have presently completed. —Marion Weaver JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Beatrice Roth Paul Nicholas John Tarafas -Julius Perdick Bahnuik, Nicholas Beahm, Beatrice Bednarchuk, Peter Bilovesky, Pauline Budihaus, Emma Budnick, Mary Coleman, Delma Danner, Arlene Demchyk, Stephen Demko, Arlene Dwarnick, Olga Eckert, Anthony Eisenhard, Verna Flisak, Wanda Greene, Catherine Gressler, Caroline Haldeman, Eilus Haldeman, Irvin Hall, Jeneve Hepner, Adeline Hepner, Kathryn Hradkowsky, Helen Hrinda, Catherine Humenik, John Hvazda, Metro Jacoby, Earnest CLASS ROLL Kapuschoc, Pauline Klemick, Ruth Kline, Donald Knappenberger, Miriam Koback, Mike Kocher, Dorothea Kowalyshyn, Russel Kraftician, George Kramlick, Edith Kremus, Louis Laky, John Lerch, June Lerch, Virginia Lindenmoyer, Woodrow Lutz, Evelyn Medland, Dorothy Mikletz, Julia Miller, Dorothy Mychuda, Mary Nicholas, Paul Ohotski, Michael Oszczakiewicz, Joe Perdick, Julius Rector, David Rinker, Mae Romanchik, Helen Roth, Beatrice - President Vice President - Secretary - Treasurer Roth, Virginia Santee, Marjorie Scheirer, Dorothy Seier, Agnes Seiple, Jacob Sheska, Martin Sheska, Wallace Smith, Glen Snyder, Loy Snyder, William Spengler, Willard Stangl, William Steiner, Charles Swallow, Olga Tarafas, John Thomas, Marion Wasser, Kenneth Weaver, Marion Weigl, Edward Wenglasz, Joe Wolf, Harold Yale, James Young, Dorothy Yurasitz, John Zadubera, Gloria Zelina, Emil SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY HAD waited many years until the time would come I when we would he given the privilege of entering the ■ V I portals and becoming members of the Senior High School. After the years of austere scholastic training and discipline, we gladly welcome the liberal and pleasing atmosphere of the Senior High School, which stimulated and urged us on to the difficult task of proving our worth. We rapidly progressed and developed under the guiding influence of our interested teachers through whose efforts many talented Sophomores were discovered. In athletics our class has been nobly represented. The basketball team of Coach Ludwig was greatly aided by such stellar performers as John Penchisen, Joe Eberhard, and George Biery, who are also very promising football players. However, it was on the girls’ basketball team that the Sophomores were most prevalent. Miss Dotter found exellent material in such efficient ball-handlers as Mary Czerkas, Susie Assed, Anna Pidstawski, Stella Termenia, and Mary Shinsky, all of whom have a great future in store for them in sports. Other class members were engaged in such organizations as the Debating Club, Orchestra, Band, Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and the Dramatic Club. But we must not give the impression that the Sophomores were only outstanding in athletics and extra-curricular activities, because many of us have merited honor and high honor cards in scholarship. Next year, with the honorable title of Juniors resting on our shoulders, we shall strive to gain greater success and carry our achievements to greater heights than ever before. —Stephen Kowalyshyn SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Stephen Kowalyshyn - - - President Mary Czerkas - - - - Vice President Martha Werbisky - - - - Secretary Olga Bilyk CLASS ROLL - - Treasurer Andrew, Esther Karo, Mary Porter, Emily Apple, Elwood Knappenberger, Myrtle Polzer, Anna Assed, Susie Korutz, Peter Potak, Mike Bell, Ray Kowalyshyn, Stephen Procanyn, Melvin Biery, George Kramlick, Charles Puchyr, John Bilyk, Olga Kraynick, Michael Pusharitz, Alois Bodnick, Katie Kremko, Metro Rau, Leon Budinetz, George Kresge, Ida Reiter, Frank Cerker, Stephen Laky, Mary Reiterman, Rosie Czerkas, Mary Lawfer, Alice Remaly, Mabel Dauhert, Chester Lerch, Catherine Remmel, Elizabeth Daumer, Frank Leshak, Mamie Rice, Lovenia Dornhach, Dorothy Lewis, Alton Roth, Marilyn Druckenmiller, Harold Liskanich, Wassyl Rosan, Stephen Easterday, Beatrice Lobach, Woldemar Schwartz, William Easterday, Gladys Luisser, Stephen Sedzmak, Michael EbeThard, Thomas Machibroda, Mary Sieger, George Fabian, Mary Mantz, Edith Silfies, Heber Falat, John Mast, Helen Simcoe, Goldie Fedorak.

Elwood Ludwig, the stalwart character with his newly acquired football tactics, to teach the inexperienced proteges that expected to don our colors for the current football season. Part of the weight was taken from Coach Ludwig by his capable assistant, Coach Bortz, who graduated from Kutztown State Teachers’ College. Inexperienced players, the incoming of two new coaches, and the introduction of a new football system — were the difficulties that confronted our football team for the 1934 season. The lack of experience and the lack of material didn’t worry our coaches as they went into their task of whipping together a formidable club. With the darkest outlook in years, we produced a smiling combination that was not discouraged in defeat but kept in fighting and winning to the best of their ability. Personals The football team of 1934 showed great aspect in its erstwhile warriors. In Lewie” Marakovitz, our left end from ninth grade, displayed excellent form in rushing punters and in being really the mainstay of the team. Tushie” Perdick and Slim” Yankovitz alternated left guard position. Yankovitz, who is only a freshman, is exactly what the word really means-fresh in the game. The outlook for both players seems promising and “Tushie” will have to do some stepping to ward off the fight and spirit that is determined in “Slim” Yankovitz. Left guard was upheld by “Johnny” Eber-hardt and Ben” Hluschak- Both Johnny” and Ben” put all their fight into the game for it was their last year to fight for their Alma Mater. Johnny” was one of the varsity men of last year. A companion of Johnny was “Tony” Timar, another varsity player who kept the center vacated for our backs” to plunge through the line. Your position “Tony”, although not quite a bright outlook, will be fulfilled by the oncoming and ever-learning younger members of the squad. Jim Laky and Schneider alternated at right guard. “Jim’s” blocking was greatly felt by his teammates. Schneider, while still in school, displayed great ability as a player. FOOTBALL (Continued) Right tackle was occupied by Heckman,a senior, and Koback, a junior. Both wereofthe fighting kind. In Heckman we find the heaviest player who made good use of his weight. Koback certainly could snare those opponents who tried to hit his line. The great task of captaining the team fell into the hands of “Pete” Evans, a sturdy fighting senior. Besides holding his team in check, “Pete” made use of his strength by downing the ball-carriers. A great hole will be left when he is graduated in June. “Jimmy” Sottolano, our sixty-two inch halfback, specialized in his deceptive cross-cutting which outwitted all opponents on the field of play. Louis “Schaadt” Skok, the plunging fullback, terrorized the fans by going through tackle for long runs and warding off the would-be tacklers. “Schaadt” has three more years to show his stuff. Jake” Yurasits, our open field runner displayed his ability in the Wilson Borough game when he scored all the points for his Alma Mater. “Jake’s” ability to cut, charge, and tackle made him one of the outstanding players on the team. To Alex Shur goes the honor of being our most outstanding punter and passer. His punt- ing often put the team in scoring territory and his passing was the result of our many successful passes completed during the season. “Cackie”our quarterback, who was one of the mainstays of the club, used great skill in the judgment of holding down the position. “Cack-ie” was a converted half-back, blocking was his specialty. “Woody” Lindenmoyer, a flashy half-back, displayed some whirlwind ability in carrying the ball. A great deal will be anticipated from “Woody” during his next year. —Calvin Nicholas, Peter Evans, John Safeldi SEASON’S FOOTBALL SCORES N. H. S. 0 Pen Argyl 12 N. H. S. 0 Emaus 6 N. H.

The squad was badly shaken up due to a loss of five varsity players who had been graduated; so with only one vaTsity plaver and the “subs” from last year, Miss Dotter weeded out a team taking second place in the Lehigh Valley Inter-Scholastic League. After several weeks of drilling and diligent toil, a team was finally selected to represent our school in the League and with the aid of Margaret Finlc, we beat “Catty”, the strongest team in the League. Although it was Miss Dotter’s first year with the team, it also was a successful one; losing only three games this year. Now the squad is losing Catherine Rupp and Helen Winarchik, who are to be graduated. Captain Agnes Seier, alternated forward and guard; her size didn’t count, but oh! how she could shoot and guard. Her good work was inspiring to the fans. Helen Winarchik, forward, showed much fleetness afoot, and her good foul shooting proved very valuable in winning many a game. Sue Assed, a forward, worked with all the power within her to help when baskets were wanted for dear old N. H. S. Mary Czerkas, center, tallest of all members, showed a great ability in outjumping all other centers. Anna Pitstawski, side center, a little spry “wit”, was always ready to receive the taps. Catherine Rupp, one of the hardest working guards usually made scoring difficult for the opponents. Dorothy Young, cooperated with the team to win our game by intercepting passes. Her captivating smile helped to win many a game. Stella Termena who alternated guard and side-center, jumped successfully for many taps which decided the team’s ball; a future star. Delma Coleman, a side-center did her best in carefully obeying and determining signals. Marion Weaver, forward, skilfully shot overhead for baskets when heavily guarded. Our loyal and willing subs were: Center.Olga Czar; Side center, Anna Crayosky; Forwards, Ruth Christman and Mary Shinsky; Guards, Arlene Danner, Ruth Klemic, Sophia Kraftician and Caroline Procanyan. —Miriam Broschak GIRLS BASKETBALL SEASON’S BASKETBALL SCORES N.

The squad, totaling more than forty, reported for the first practice to become acquainted with the new coach, J. Elwood Ludwig. Within a week’s time the squad was reduced and from thence sincere practice was prevalent throughout the season. With the graduation of three dependable varsity men, Coach had to center his team around the abilities of “Jake” Yurasits, “Woody” Lindenmoyer, and John Safeldi. Coach whipped a team together, being at a total loss as to what type of ball was played in the League. With the coming of J. Elwood Ludwig there also entered our institution a new type of basketball system, that of Penn. Its deception stands out. This system has brought little results so far but watch next year’s team go places with it. The curtain was drawn with our basketeers donning their new flashy sweat suits. The opponent was Stroudsburg who had won 29-23. The team was not discouraged but fought harder and at times displayed a great scoring attack never before possessed by a previous team. It seemed they were of champion calibre, but just slipped up on easy opponents. The task of captaining the team through the season was taken care of by John Safeldi, guard. Although he was not a “sure-footed” person, he certainly could rake the bumps given by his fellow opponents. He scored only when he felt it was most needed by his team while the rest of the time he held the team in contact. Into the limelight stepped an unknown personality in basketball, “Gin” Sharkazy, a small fleet-footed forward whose eye had accounted for some of the points that won for Northampton. “Gin” is the smallest member of the team but how he can outwit his man! The other forward position fell into the hands of “Jake” Yurasits. His scoring ability played an important part in all our games. “Jake” was high scorer and also won the foul shooting contests. Center position was occupied by Johnny Penschishen, the smallest center in the League. His brilliant playing was seen in games when he outplayed his opponents who were ahead BOYS BASKETBALL (Continued) taller. This is Johnny’s” first year in varsity basketball and he has two more years to play. Mark my word, if he won’t be a “swell” center. “Woody” Lindenmoyer, the person who has shown his ability as a forward also impressed upon us his ability as a guard. “Woody” had fight until the last second and aided us in victory by his scoring punch. “Look forward to next year, ‘Woody’ and may you display your greatest form then.” The reserves consisting of Schneider, Yank-owich, Perdick, Shur, Kobach, Demchyk, also saw action. In Schneider we see the ideal center man for oncoming Northampton High School basketball team. Through graduation Sharkazy and Safeldi leave us but their footsteps will be well-filled by the reserves who have displayed rare form in basketball. “May your team, Coach Ludwig, go onward and upward next year.” —John Safeldi SEASON’S BASKETBALL SCORES N.

This year, as in past years, a well organized staff was selected and under the stellar leadership of our Amptennian’s advisor, Miss Kistler, a script worthy to bear the name of “Amptennian” was produced, and after arriving in a misshapen form to the printing department, has finally assumed this beautiful product. We are proud to have worked and assumed responsibilities, proud to haveaccom-lished a piece of work which will take its place among orher accomplishments too numerous to mention. Proud to say that the Amptennian of ’35 was directed, written, and printed by the Class of ’35. To those who have contributed to make this book possible we extend our thanks and appreciation, and hold them worthy of tribute. To the coming class we extend an invitation to keep the standards of the school high and to prove themselves worthy of a better (if possible) Amptennian. The staff consists of: Editor-in-Chief, John Sylvester; Editors, Katherine Louise Deibert, Harold Rinker; Associate Editors, AraBelle Matthews, Calvin Nicholas, Viola Miller, John Safeldi, Bohdan Ulanytzky, Marguerite Hildt, Arlene Deisher, Kenneth Smith, Arlene Smith, Vernon Andrews, Sherwood Jones, Marion Kustay. SENIOR CLASS PLAY ON FEBRUARY 8th, 1935, members of the Senior Class presented “Dollars to Doughnuts”—a farce in three acts—by Glenn Hughes. The entire play took place at an attractive house of the Bolands, not far trom New York. Trouble first starts when the Bolands were waiting for the arrival of Caroline, their tld-est daughter, who had already announced the intention of bringing htr friend, George, along home. Stnce George was a man who I '� athtd wealthy people, the Bolands were toicid to lake the part of poor tolks— much to the disgust of Mr. Boland and Chester, the only son ot the household. Helen Cory, Chesur’s gnl triend, was greatly excited after hearing the event about to rake place. While more plans conct ri ing their actions were being mace, Mrs. Boiand’s sister. Flossie Hill, arrived unexpectedly and almost immediately, announced her intentH n i f slaying with thtm for some time. Her real purpose in coming here was to borrow money fu m Mr. Boland and whtn they told her abi lit rhtir poveny, she decided to go i 1st where. The opportunity had not been far away for upon seeing the Reverend Mr. Figgot, who incidentally had stopped at the Bolands’ house for money, she decided to flirt with him. In the midst of this group, a telegram arrived from Horiense, Mr. Boland’s youngest daughter, announcing her arrival with a prince—a Prince Sergie Danilov. Having sent all the other servants away for Caroline’s sake, others were now needed in order to make an impression on the Prince, and thus Piggot substituted for the butler, Flossie for the cook, Helen for the serving girl, and Chester for the chauffeur. When George and the Prince were in the house, the family litd and did all kinds of possible things to keep them from meeting, but in vain. After having met each other, they, with the aid of the servants and the daughters, played a trick on Mr. and Mrs. Boland. The uunion that followed proved that everyone v as happy and quite satisfied with life. An excellent interpretation of Flossie Hill, the “old maid” sister of Mrs. Boland, was given by Pauline Smith. Arlene Deisher gave a delightful interpretation of the flighty Mrs. Boland. John Sylvester contributed much gaiety and humor to the play in his role of Mr. Boland, a wealthy business man. Calvin Nicholas gave a very realistic interpretation of Chester, the lazy son of the family. Vernon Andrews gave an excellent performance as George, Caroline’s friend. Caroline, the eldest daughter of Mr. Boland, was charmingly portrayed by Bitty Bell. Arlene Smith gave a very delightful performance in her role of Helen, Chester’s girl. A great deal of humor was contributed by Elvin Andrews in his role of Piggot, a very dignified minister. AraBelle Matthews was charming as Hortense, the youngest daughter of the family. An excellent performance was given by Jack Guss in his role of the Prince—Prince Sergei Danilov. —Pauline Smith ANNUAL OPERETTA THE Senior High School Operetta, “Rings in the Sawdust,” was presented on November 9, 1934. The action of the play took place in a small town somewhere, on circus day. The first act took place before the afternoon performance and the last act before the evening performance of the same day. Alonzo Squeezem, a wealthy small town banker, held a mortgage on a circus which Toby Dunn, the owner, was unable to pay because of a disastrous reason. Toby Dunn, an estimable young man, had previously become engaged to Sally Squeezem, the banker’s only child. This so enraged the banker that he threatened to foreclose the mortgage, unless Sally promised to give up all thought of Toby Dunn. This she tefused to do. Marybelle Jaybird, a fascinating widow, had set her cap for the banker much to her old maid sister’s (Eliza Slimmer’s) disgust. Inky Snow (colored) and Dinky Moore (Irish), helpers about the circus, planned with Sally and Toby to abduct the banker and send him to the widow Jaybird’s house, before he could foreclose the mortgage. The widow is overjoyed at the prospect of having the banker as a guest and readily entered into the plan. In the dark, a great mistake was made and Inky Snow was sent instead of the banker. When the banker went to his home for the mortgage, he found that it had been stolen. He suspected Sally, but when the widow suggested Inky Snow, he had Inky arrested and sent to jail. At this point the mortgage was discovered in Willie Jaybird’s (Widow Jaybird’s spoiled son’s) pocket. Then through an expected turn of affairs, Sally and Toby were forgiven by the banker, Inky was freed from jail, and Widow Jaybird caprured her quarry—and thus all ended happily. Melvin Procanyan gave a splendid interpretation of Toby Dunn, the owner of the circus. Helen Hradkowsky, as Sally Squeezem, was very sweet and demure. Curtis Seltzer was quite impressive in his role of Alonzo Squeezem, the small town banker. To the very end, Marion Weaver gave a delightful performance in her role of Marybelle Jaybird. Elvin Andrews as Inky Snow and John Sylvester as Dinky Moore, contributed a great deal toward the humorous as well as the musical parts of the show. Eliza Slimmer, played by Pauline Smith, was a very realistic old maid. — Pauline Smith DEBATING CLUB A HEM! Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking — that is to say — er’ ah.” To outline this phrase is the main objective of a certain group of young men and women of our school. The debating club has been doing real work in teaching one “how to express one’s self,” extemporaneously, and otherwise. This instruction is accomplished by actual experience in expressing their views on subjects of student interest, current topics and Strange Facts, given in the Ripley style, in the morning assembly programs. But a debating club would not really be a Debating club if they did not debate. Two “Battles of words” on the question: “Resolved that the educational opportunities should be equalized throughout the country by a policy of annual grants to the states from the Federal Government,” were engaged in. On March 20, the Whitehall High School debating team combated “Tinkcom’s proteges” in a non-decisional debate. On March 29, an undefeated Coplay negative aggregation met their Waterloo at the “words” of our affirmative team; however at Coplay, the Coplay affirmative team evened the score by defeating our negative team. For the debates on the educational question the affirmative team was composed of Russell Kowalyshyn, Eilus Haldeman, and Vernon Andrews. Catherine Hrinda, served as alternate. Stephen Kowalyshyn, George Kraftician, and James Yale constituted the negative, with Mary Mychuda as alternative. Speaking activities within the club consist of extemporaneous speaking contests, discussions of speaking problems, and practice in speaking etiquette. To develop the ability of “thinking on your feet” and give a practical everyday use of speaking the “cross examination of witness” method is being employed in the club debates. A club debate on “Cultural versus Practical Education” brought the new memberes of the club the actual experience in applying their debating and speaking knowledge. In short, every member of the “Speech Club” [as Mr. Tinkcom calls it] was kept busy throughout the year in some kind of forensic activity. —Vernon S. Andrews JUNIOR ORATORICAL CONTEST WHEN the curtain parted on the night of February twentieth, eight Juniors of the class of 1936 made their debut in the ninth annual Oratorical Contest. The speakers sat in a semicircle on the stage with Mr. Sheaffer sitting at a desk in the back of the stage, beautifully decorated with Talisman roses, the class flower, and maiden-hair fern. To serve as an inspiring center-piece, a green and jadeposter hung in the back ground which announced our class motto, “Arise, Go Forth and Conquer!” The Junior class sat in a body in the front of the auditorium to cheer the hearts of their friends who represented them in this memorable contest. Each speaker had the splendid motto in mind when he rose to give his oration. With grim determination the eight speakers succeeded in holding the undivided attention of the audience. The speakers and their selections were: “The Constitution” by Herbert Wenig, Eilus Haldeman; “The Courier of the Czar” by Elsie Singmaster, Catherine Hrinda; “Strange Ports” by John Fleming Wilson, James Yale; “In the Forest of Arden,” from “As You Like It,” by William Shakespeare, Olga Dwarnick; “Spartacus to the Gladiators” by Elijah Kellog, Russel Kowalyshyn; Hiawatha’s Wooing” by Ht-rry Wadsworth Longfelltw, Helen Hrad-kowsky; “America, the Land of Freedom.” Anonymous, Donald Kline; The Sign of the Cross” by Wilson Barrett, Emma Budihau . After the decision of the judges, Mr. Sheaffer announced the prize winners and presented them with their awards. The first two prizes of ten dollars,donated by the Alumni Association, were presented to Helen Hradkowsky and Russel Kowalyshyn. The second two prizes of five dollars donated by Henry A. Miller and E.J. Royer were presented to Emma Budihaus and James Yale. Due to the excellent training by Miss Kistler, this contest proved to be one of the finest ever given. They will remember how to live a selection, how to get the thought until gestures are the natural outgrowth of what each speaker thinks and feels. Because of the interesting cooperation between each speaker and Miss Kistler we believe that this contest will always be remembered. The judges for the contest were: Miss Katherine Kline of Allentown High School; Mr. T. W. Watkins, Jr. ofCoopersburg High School; Mr. S. R. Steckel of Whitehall High School. —Catherine Hrinda THE BAND NE X' BAND uniforms? Yes, indeed! The members of this large organization proud, ly display their new uniforms. To help pay for this brilliant and snappy apparel, the members have participated in very many activities, each doing his share whenever andw her-ever possible. The band has attained an enviable reputation through its fine playing and striking appearance. In view of this fact, the number of public engagements is constantly increasing. For the first time in the history of the school band officers werz elected and really organized meetings were held throughout the year. The first officers were: President, Arlene Deisher; Secretary, Melvin Procanyn; Treasurer, Harold Rinker. New members have been added and the progress of the beginners is increasing rapidly. Junior High School is well represented with quite a few very talented musicians. Their abilities will be greatly needed and appreciated for the progress and extent of the band in the years to come. Under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Kuntz, the music organizations of the Junior High School are given excellent praise by everyone. They deserve it! The band members with their bright uniform • add pep and color to many of the football and basketball games. On Saturday afrernoon. May 25, 1935, the band took part in the Secondary School Band Contest, held at Lafayette College Stadium in Easton, Pennsylvania. The required musical selection was: Entrance and March of the Peers” by A. Sullivan. The second selection chosen by the directer, Mr. Harry Newhard and rhe faculty advisor, Mr. Edwin Berg was “ Templeweike Overture” by Keler- Bela. North-ampron High School Band was in Class C; classes were organized according to the enrollment of the high schools. In the annual spring concert the band gave rhe people of rhe community an opportunity ro hear the selections which were played in the Secondary School Band Contest. Members of the class of 1935 who were active in the band are: Harold Rinker, Drum Major; Norman Borger, Arlene Deisher, Sherwood Jones, Luther Minnich, Kenneth Reimerr, Kenneth Smith. —Arlene Deisher THE ORCHESTRA r- ELECTION number seven, please!” is the command given by Mr. Harry New-hard, our verycapableorchestradirector. There is a shuffling of pages and very soon the auditorium is filled with harmonious and some inharmonious notes, since this is just a rehearsal. The orchestra plays at all of the most popular affairs of the high school, such as: speaking contests, debates, plays, and concerts. One of the best concerts given by the orchestra is: March, Aero Club, F. R. Weir; Reveri, Beauty Spot, C. Arthur; Sullivan’s Operatic Qems, J. S. Seredy; Connecticut March, William Nassann; Waltz, Tres Jolie, E. Waldteufel; Ballet, Intermezzo Russe, Theo. Franke; March, State Line, J. M. Fulton. What would we do without the orchestra when passing to and from assembly? It gives us an energetic feeling and starts the day out right. The orchestra, composed of thirty-two musicians, who with much practice and effort, have learned to play quite well. Rehearsal over,” exclaims orchestra director again. Mr. Edwin Berg is assistant director and we must admit, a very good one. The senior members of the orchestra are: violins, Irene Fedorak, Pearl Heffner, Arlene Smith, Sara Coffield, Kenneth Reimert, John Sylvester; piano, Renae Young; clarinet, Kenneth Smith; trumpets, Luther Minnicn;drums, Sherwood Jones. In the beginning of the school year, the orchestra had a meeting for the organization of activity and officers were elected: President, Renae Young; Vice President, John Sylvester; Secretary, Arlene Smith; Treasurer, Marjorie Santee. —Arlene Smith HI-Y CLUB IN ORDER to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character the Northampton High School sponsors a Hi-Y” club. This year our club celebrated its tenth anniversary. The club boasts of its worth-while activities. We received state recognition for our work in the annual state poster prepared by state secretary Mr. Philo Dix. We are listed as the most active club in any unorganized territory, that is, a community without a Y. M. C. A. The club is under the faculty supervision of Ralph F. Smith who is very much interested in boys’ work not only in school, but also in the community. This is Mr. Smith’s tenth year of active leadership in our club. He is assisted by a corps of loyal and active officers: President, Curtis Seltzer; Vice-President, Warren Wahl; Secretary, Donald Laub; and Treasurer, Albert Newl.ard. These officers are supported by a group of thirty-three of the most loyal and energetic Christian young men in the school. When these boys plan a project it is sure to be a successful one. The president is ever alert and always on the job. The vice-president is always endeavoring to assist the club in whatever way he is capable of doing. The secretary keeps a most accurate record of the proceedings of the meetings and the attendance of the members. The treasurer keeps a true and faithful account of the finances of the club. By means of the club the boys are trying to eliminate foul language, cribbing in examinations, unfair practises on the athletic field and a better boy and girl relationship in the school. We help to provide assembly programs, special programs and one or two special features during the school year. In somt of these projects we work in conjunction with the Girl Reserves. We meet regularly every second and fourth Thursday in the month. This year we have an exceptionally skilled group of boys who assist in the initiation of new members. This group most ably performed at a district rally at Nazareth in March. We are the possessors of a beautiful electrical board showing the square, triangle, and cross; emblematic of our fourfold life, the red triangle, Y. M. C. A., and the cross upon which all Christians place their faith. The year 1934-35 was a profitable one for the Northampton Hi-Y Club. —Bohdan A. Ulanytzky GIRL RESERVES FOR ihe past three years, since it was reorganized, the Girl Reserve Club has been gaining in popularity and importance. Its twenty-five members are continually striving ro incorporate their code and ideals in their daily living and in the accomplishment of many worthwhile things for Northampton High. We feel that we can point with pride to this year as one of our most successful. Among our activities may be mentioned the Hallowe’en Party, the Christmas Play—“One Night in Bethlehem,” the May Breakfast, Mother and Daughter Tea, Dad and Daughter Picnic, and two dances. Most of these are annual affairs. In addition, there were our customary practices of selling refreshments at football and basketball games, taking charge of the information desk, sponsoring chapel programs, decorating the hall at Christmas, etc. One of our very important accomplishments was the formulation and adoption of a constitution. During the year we held several evening meetings outside of school. At one of these we gave a shower for Miss Martin, one of our teachers who has since left school to become Mrs. Mariner. These special meetings are held for conducting initiations of new’ members, for transacting business for which we have not had time at our regular weekly meetings and simply for fellowship and the exchange of ideas for our common good. We feel that such personal contact with other members and the discussions which we have may help us in solving problems connected with our personal affairs, with school and with the community in which we live. Like all active dubs, the Girl Reserves are organized. The officers for this year are: President, Katherine Louise Deibert; Vice President, Virginia Bell; Secretary, Ruth Bender; Treasurer, Beatrice Roth; Corresponding Secretary, Janet Lentz. Committees are appointed whenever the need arises. Our faculty advisor, to whom most of the success of the club is due, is Miss Kistler. Membership in the club is by application and election. Girls are chosen not only for the good that they can do the club but also for the benefits that they themselves will derive from such association. With this in mind and using our code as a guide, we try to select girls that will work together most effectively and harmoniously. Of course, our club has not reached perfection, but that is the goal toward which we are striving. However, if we are able to improve the social and cultural standing of our girls, if we can develop higher standards and ideals among our schoolmates, and if we do anything to further the elements of reverence, courage, kindness, loyalty, and self-reliance, we shall feel that we have fulfilled our purpose. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FOR the past nine years the Northampton Senior High School has been honored with a chapter of the National Honor Society for the purpose of creating an enthusiastic need for scholarship to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. During these nine years, the members of this organization have done a great deal to improve the scholastic standing not only for the members but for their classmates as well. At the beginning of this school year, 1934-35, this confident group of young people, comprising fifteen per cent of the Senior Class, decided to do their utmost in striving to uphold the standards of the society. To accomplish their aim each member offered to assist classmates and under-classmen in learning how to study and eliminate the difficulty of receiving inferior grades. Every member who had the experience of helping a pupil received a further incentive to improve his own standing. By pat-ticipating in both scholastic and extra curricular activities all members of the organization achieved merits that supported the morale of the school. Since the membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the Senior Class, to become a member, a student is required to obtain a rank in the upper quartile of his class, and be recommended by a committee of faculty members who judge students on the merits of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. In this procedure the restrictions permit only those students with the highest records to become members. Why go to College,” and Character,” were topics of discussion and address by the faculty and members of the National Honor Society. Then scholarships, their rewards and privileges, were presented by Mr. I. L. Sheaffer our principal and advisor. Stressing the importance of a high scholastic attainment as a requisite for scholarship awards lead to a thorough understanding of the principles involved in learning to do all of our subjects with a complete interest. Our meetings are scheduled every second Tuesday of the school month The intellectual and cultural benefit derived increases our desire to share our knowledge with other classmates who love to “Live and Learn.” We look forward to our successors the Juniors who we hope will “Arise, Go Forth, and Conquer.” —Kenneth Smith STUDENT COUNCIL PROBABLY the most reliable and oldest organization of the Northampton High School is the Student Council. This group was organized in 1919 and carried on its duties under the name of the School Betterment Association. In 1926, this organization received its present name, “The Student Council.” The Student Council, representing each room in the Northampton High School and under the supervision of Mr. I. L. Sheaffer, has tried to accomplish successfully the task of solving school problems of which the most important is the regulation of traffic in the halls. Each member assigned to a definite post in the halls, used their influence to the best of their ability for the welfare of the school. This organization, under the direction of the following officers: President, Calvin Nicholas; Vice-President, John Sylvester; Secretary, John Eberhardt; and Treasurer, Anthony Timar; elected cheerleaders, promoted school spirit and interest in all school activities. During the year two dances were held. The main objects of these affairs were to advance the ideals of our school and promote the best interest of all students. The point system, which was introduced into our school last year by the Student Council, was continued this year throughout the entire High School. As the present school term draws to a close, we, the student council, feel that the aims of our orginization have been fully realized and our utmost hope is that the oncoming council will endeavor to promote the best for Northampton high School. —Calvin Nicholas THE HARMONY PLAYERS TO THE tune of “Drifting and Dreaming” the Harmony Players of the Senior High School begin and end their programs of music and song, not only for Junior and Senior High School performances but also for the people in the town and community of Northampton. The first notes of harmony were produced by twelve amateur musicians, inspired and directed by Miss Madolin Tucker who organized the club during the latter part of September of 1934. Harmonicas, Banjos, Spanish and Hawaiian Guitars are featured in the instrumental group. Under Miss Tucker’s guidance, programs were arranged to suit the instruction of many players who had not played an instrument before. The Old Spinning Wheel,” “Neopolitan Nights,” and the “Pagan Love Song,” were very successful numbers enjoyed by both the players and the listeners. Solos and duets in English and the Pennsylvania German Dialect, with guitar accompaniments were featured to give a pleasing variety to the program. As periods of rehearsal grew in enjoyment, and practice encouraged skill, the players looked forward to their first public performance in Chapel for the Senior High School. With this first splendid success, other programs followed at the Haff Hospital, December 21; at the Junior High School, March 26; at the Masonic Hall of Northampton, April 10; at the Rotary Club meeting, April 16; at the Teachers’ Dinner, May 9. The unusual success of this club speaks well of the work that can be accomplished within a year. To develop a hobby to real enjoyment is the purpose of this kind of club which dramatizes the “Little Red School House.” The soloists are: Chester Daubert, Nellie Rutman, Woldeman Laubach, Glen Smith, Marilyn Roth, Olga Swallow. The officers are: Glen Smith, President; Chester Daubert, Vice-President; Loy Snyder, Secretary and Treasurer. Other membersare: Mary Mitchell, Harold Rinker, Huber Silfies, Charles Steiner, Cartlton Winkle, and Roy Andrews. Since there are about three seniors who will be graduated from this group of musicians, we look forward to the continuation of their good work for the coming year. And we hope every student owning an instrument will report to Miss Tucker and become a member of this interesting band of musicians.
