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.”

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.”

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.
