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.

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

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.

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.
