1936 NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL THE AMPTENNIAN NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON-PENNSYLVANIA . . . Dedication To J. Elwood Ludwig whose inspiring personality, alert athletic mind, and unconquerable spirit has commanded our sincere admiration and respect, we dedicate this volume of the AMPTENNIAN CONTENTS Dedication Foreword Greetings Faculty Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Alumni Athletics Activities Acknowledgements FOREWORD Pleasant thoughts of true fellowship with friends and faculty, now liiid and seemingly indelible uill fade and pass. —E. S. Bason THIN a few years the present Class of 1936 will be scattered far and wide, ever seeking new knowledge, lands, and friends. During your stay as student and wards of our Alma Mater, you have engaged in many activities and enjoyed many friendships. If this Amptennian” helps to revive those memories when you will have reached success in life, we, the staff, will feel the book has accomplished its purpose. _ yOR A NUMBER of years you have eagerly looked forward ! ( to the time when you would he graduated from high school. It seemed such a long hard road. Now, all too soon, i -t commencement time has come and with it one of the important cross-roads of your life. The sheltered period of your life is over; you have become men and women and you must now carry many of the responsibilities of life, which up to now have been carried for you by your parents, teachers, and friends. We sincerely hope that you will carry your increased responsibilities worthily. If the prospect of immediate financial and economic success seems doubtful and discouraging to you, remember there is much more to life than money. Mere material things can never bring real happiness. It is possible to play an honorable part in life even in these days when few positions are open to young people. Some one has said that if you want to get ahead, you must do the things you know you ought to do and stop doing the things you know you ought not to do. On first thought this seems simple, even foolish, but I assure you it is worth reflection. You have received during your twelve years of education at public expense detailed information on what you ought to do. You have also been constantly instructed on what you ought not to do. Have you the moral stamina to do what you know you ought to do? Herein lies your great problem. We are counting heavily on you to solve this problem not only for your own best interests but for those of all mankind as well. G. A. Eichler, Superintendent DR. GEORGE A. EICHLER, Superintendent 5 -J WONDER how many of you realize that as you leave the I portals of your Alma Mater you take the first step in a con- I test that ultimately must prove your worth. You enter the j world of affairs possessors of a fine high school education. You have learned by precept and example the value of untiring effort. See to it that you never lose sight of these fundamentals. Like Bunyan’s Pilgrim, you will early meet those who would show you some easier road to success, but the signboards on such roads are repaints only of age-old doctrines and isms” which have brought failures to countless numbers. Don’t be deceived. Keep ever in mind that human accomplishments have been and always will be the result of hard work and the determination to win in spite of all obstacles. Equipped as you should be, you have advantage over those individuals who in this day and age have grown “soft,” who are relying on the false belief that the world owes them a living. The opportunity greater than ever before lies ahead of you. Persons who win will be those who work. To this end, your Alma Mater has given you a much greater heritage than perhaps you now appreciate. 1 wish that you may be better men and women than were we who have gone before you. 1. L. Sheatfer, 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. Day 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. FACULTY IRA L. SHEAFFER. A.B., M.A. Gentile in personage, conduct, and equipage; Noble by heritage, generous and free. —Henry Carey Look at our Captain's” picture on the preceding page—just take one look at it. It needn’t be a very long or penetrating examination of the features, but, just a mere glance—and doesn’t the genial serenity, the deep intelligence, the fineness of character win your heart, whether you know our principal or not? If you do know him then you, also, know that this is Mr. Sheaffer in one of his more serious moods teaching the beautiful subject of nature, skillfully guiding a youthfully bewildered student, or—(trout) fishing! But you encounter him more generally with a beaming, most contagious and perfectly winning smile: in our corridors, at a football game, or—(trout) fishing. Yes, he is both serious and gay when on a fishing spree, depending on his”Luck !”—or in dealing with the serious problems of a high school student. Subjects: Principal of our Senior High School; teaches Biology. Graduate of: Shippensburg Teachers College, Muhlenburg College. Graduate uork at: Lehigh University, New York University, Penn State College, Columbia University. ARLINE K1STLER, B.S. Nothing makes so much impression on the hearts of man as the voice of friendship uhen it is really knoun to be such, for ueareauare that it never speaks to us except for our advantage. —Rousseau How can we describe this outstanding teacher? What can we say in a mere ’’write-up” that will justly acclaim her exceptional qualities, or that will pay proper tribute to the numerous kindly deeds she has performed for our class and our Alma Mater? For Miss Kisser is decidedly an individual “type” possessing traits which are exclusively her own. One of her rarest and most loved characteristics is the intense and helpful interest she displays in everything and everyone — her extraordinary insight and appreciation of life. Her generous spirit sends this interest and wisdom of hers into her students “private worlds,” guiding and helping their rren endously in their youthful actions. One of our busiest teachers is Miss Kistler, fairly radiating animation. Subjects: English XI and XII. Graduate of: Wyoming Seminary. West Chester Normal School, Pennsylvania State College. Graduate Work at: University of Pennsylvania. ALVIN N. FEGELY, B.S. Loathing pretense, he did uith cheerful will What others talked of while their hands were still. —Whittier To study and know Mr. Fegely is to understand an indelible power that makes his friendship a joy. Seeking new knowledge and putting that knowledge in practice is the ideal of this mathematician, physicist, electrician, printer, and musician, who makes evident his accomplishments. From solving one of his college ” AL” problems, lecturing on the laws of physics,” or supervising the printing of rhe “Amptennian, he chases away the clouds of doubt for all students until we learn that his learning is of the highest. While he graduates us in the elements and fundamentals of science we have but one regret, that is the time when we shall have to leave him in high school. Subjects: Physics, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Printing. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College, Franklin and Marshall College. HARRY M. T1NCKOM, A.B. I have found you an argument ; hut I am not obliged to find you an understanding. —Samuel Johnson Who is that handsome man, casually standing in the hall, deep in thought, while groups of hurrying students go by? He is none other than the adroit Tink!” the pride of the debating club. Frequently he carefully follows the call of them thar hills” and fishes away to his heart’s content in some obscure mountain stream. Probably this is the atmosphere that encourages the creation of those subtle ingenious fish stories for which he is famous. Subjects: History and English, (graduate of: Pennsylvania State College. Graduate uork at: Lehigh University. MADOLIN TUCKER. B.S. The finest eloquence is that which gets things done. —Lloyd George Above the busy clicking of the typewriters, a mellow voice is heard guiding us.

Subjects ' Typing, Shorthand, and General Business Training. Graduate of: Peirce School of Business Administration at Philadelphia, Susquehanna University. Graduate work at: Temple University, Muhlenberg College. EDWIN BERG, A.B. Wise to resolve and Ixment to perform. —Homer One of the three conspirators guarding the east end of the upper hall is the diplomatic Mr. Berg in conference between classes. To interest our classes in German he whits our appetite with jokes; to direct the band and orchestra his immaculate upright figure can be seen waving the baton to eliminate sour notes. Behind his reserve there is a well-bred, good-natured jovial humor pleasant to all who know him. Subjects: German, English, and History. Graduate of: Muhlenberg College. C raduate uork at : Lehigh University, Temple University, Pennsylvania State College. ELEANOR ROBERTS, Ph.B., M.A. Self-revere nee, self-knowledge, self-control. —Tennyson Did you see Lantern Land? Did you see Rings in the Saw dust? Did you see Oh! Doctor? Or, did you see anything from an early-morning assembly program to one of our annual show productions, which included beautiful costuming? If you did, then you already know one “side of this many-sided lady, for she is the main executive value in the organization which creates and furnishes this costuming. She is really a many-sided person, having various interests besides clothing, costuming, and fashions. Her extensive travels, fine reading, and important contacts with people command all of our respect and admiration. Subject: Clothing. Graduate of : Kutztown State Teachers College, Muhlenberg College. Graduate work at : Columbia University. THOMAS W. RONEMUS, B.S.C. Joking decides great things stronger and better oft than earnest can. —Milton A keen wit saves many a disagreeable situation. One of the proofs of this statement would be Mr. Ronemus’ sense of humor which seems to cover all of his actions. But only cover , for if you go beneath that surface you will find real depths of knowledge and thought. A good business mind with an eye for commercial art that can be seen in the display of which said eye may be found in our hall showcases: a lean to athletics, sports, and also, to frequent visits to his hometown—but why so frequent! Besides, we have a real Doubting Thomas who considers all things in his practical nature before accepting—or rejecting. Get to know him, and you’ll know a real friend. Subjects Commercial Geography, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Bookkeeping, Advertising, Window Trimming, Salesmanship, and Junior Business Training. Graduate of : Temple University. Graduate uork at: Muhlenberg College, Temple University, Pennsylvania State College. HELEN SEIDEL, B.S. For nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household gtxxl. —Milton It doesn’t take a Sherlock Holmes to trace the source of that appetizing odor from the cooking room where all good odors originate. Miss Seidel is wisely pointing out to the girls that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Besides cooking, she enjoys reading and knitting as indoor recreations. Knowing the underlying principles of good housekeeping is the basic knowledge of good citizenship so that as president of the Quota Club, the women’s civic organization of Northampton, Miss Seidel is leading worthwhile projects to help young girls. Loving both human and animal nature intensely, she finds time to be kind to animals and gives particular attention to a dog, San Toy.” Subject: Cooking. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College, Drexel Institute. ARLENE REED, A.B. To those who know thee not no uords can paint; and those who know thee, know all words are faint! —Hannah More The term Personality” has been widely misused, hut considering it in its (highest) sense, wc look upon Miss Reed as a real example. Her utter sincerity and charming helpfulness have made her a favorite of every member of’36. She’s a Math Wizard: she’s an excellent Dramatic Coach: she knits, and competently teaches its art to many: she argues spirit-edly—mcsrly with (some) Seniors: but she just can’t seem to contTcl the exuberant spirits of an otherwise inanimate alarm clock du ring her English and Literature Classes. Sufjects: English. Graduate of: Dickinson College. Qraduate work at: Pennsylvania State College. CLAYTON E. BUELL, B.S. Tho' modest on his unemharrs'd brow nature had written gentleman.” —Byron Behind a maze of test tubes and suffocating smoke, we find Mr. Buell demonstrating a formula for Cl2. Chemistry plus Mr. Buell’s dry sense of humor equals double interest plus extra energy. This tall, handsome teacher is popular among the Seniors for other reasons besides his sophisticated sense of humor: mainly his good sportsmanship and his adeptness to produce brain-twisting cheers! (the Greek yell.) This gentleman obviously believes in taking in the sights of Northampton. For outside of school hours his well-groomed figure can be seen along the main stem of the town. In school hours he spends his time rescuing over-ambitious students who accidently stumble over the formula for gun-powder. The Seniors nave but one complaint to make: what this unsuspect, ng male needs is the woman’s touch.” Have you ever seen him pour water on the floor when there was a sink handy? Un-believeble! But it’s true. Subjects: Mechanical Drawing, Chemistry. Graduate of: California State Teachers College. Graduate uork at: Pennsylvania State College and Carnegie Institute of Technology. MARGARET ANN PERRY. B.S. There uas a soft and pensive grace, a cast of thought upon her face That suited well the forehead high, the eyelash dark, and downcast eye. —Scott Rokeby ‘‘Lovely to look at, delightful to know,” perfectly describes the blue-eyed, vivacious Miss Perry, the new addition to our faculty, without a word of warning, students have suddenly become art-conscious. To find the cause of this sudden interest one need look no further than the blithe Peggy Ann. Her selfish sense of humor collects as many admirers as honey-suckle collects bees. No wonder she gets offerings of doughnuts from appreciative students. Her personality is well-expressed in her low, musical voice. We truly appreciate her being with us and we hope she will remain for many more years. Subject: Art. Graduate of: Ohio State University. MARION LAUBACH, A.B. Her very frouns are fairer Than smiles of ether maidens are. —Coleridge I passed by her window —and heard her playing the piano, beautifully. In a v� ry depressed mood, I entered her classroom, and left a little later, giyly, by reason of her extraordinary smile and cheering nature. 1 selected a course in Latin, pessimistically, and was graduated from it, knowingly. Now—of whom arc we thinking? Miss Laubach, of course. Who wouldn't recognize that smile, that generous nature, those willing hands, that cultured mind, as Miss Laubach. Truly, to know her is to love her. Subjects: French, Latin. Graduate of: Wi'son College. MICHAEL LISETSK1. Ph.B. Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and unting an exact. —Bacon Mr Lisetski's first year on the N. H. S. faculty finds him a universal favorite, especially with our class of '36, for he is truly an all-around person and a real sport. This is proven by his varied interests: his precise manner and systematic methods, spiced with genuine humor in P of D and History sessions, his active interest in school athletics, and the general air of helpful agreeableness which seem to belong” very much to him. Outside of our N. H. S. you may find Mr. Lisetski on a football field or a basketball floor, ref-ing, or in a blue coupe and a bright mood, driving! Subjects: History and Problems of Democracy. Graduate of: Allentown Prep School and Muhlenburg College. Graduate work at: Pennsylvania State College. CRACK H. FLICK. B.S. We call some books immortal, do they live ? If so, believe me, rime hath made them pure, In btmks the veriest wicked rest in peace. —Bulwer Lytton I looked up from my ‘‘Reader’s Digest” and saw Miss Flick bending over stemmed, yellow roses. I looked again and marveled at the blue serenity of her eyes against the yellow velvet of the roses. At a crowded desk of eager students. Miss Flick’s slender fingers deftly worked over bocks. My gaze was held fascinated by the efficient fingers admirably disposing of books and books and books. Glancing upward my eyes met the unperturbed glance of Grace Flick, the tall, slender librarian. Moving in an atmosphere of calm and tranquility, she is never too busy to help you find a book on anything fron Alice in Wonderland to a Harvard Classic. Subject: Library Instruction. Graduate of: Millersville State Teachers College. LESTER YEAGER In every rank, or great or small His industry supports us all. —Gay As the piston goes down for its first stroke, the intake valve opens,” etc. Surely none of the hoys leaving high school will ever forget this explanation imparted to us by Mr. Yeager. After the many semesters any hoy that was able to assimilate all he learned of soldering, reed weaving, mechanics, tin smithing, electrical wiring, would make a fine handyman for any leap-year bride. If rny of his students are so lucky as ever to have a home of their own, they’ll surely think of Mr. Yeager when repairing one of those damaged electric cords. Subject: General Shops. Graduate of: Bloomsburg State Normal School. Graduate uwrk at: Muhlenberg College, Pennsylvania State Colli ge, Oswego New York State Teachers College. HELEN M. NEWHARD, A.B. Music hath charms to sooth a savage beast. —Congreve A smiling face, a pleasant voice, and the gift of conversing with anyone on anything. You’ve guessed it, MissNewhard.A bright word of greeting to everyone is her password as she goes through the hall. As capable as she is understanding, Helen Newhard not only assists in operetta work but directs the Girls Glee Club competently. Expertly, she holds her music classes so that non-musically inclined students find themselves singing. To speak to her, you cannot help but appreciate her sympathetic nature and her friendliness. Greatly interested in musical achievements, she finds pleasure in attending as many musical gatherings as possible. Subjects: Music, Theory, and Composition. Graduate of: Keystone State Teachers College, Pennsylvania State College. Graduate work at: Pennsylvania State College. CLINTON BILHEIMER The fruit dented from labor is the sueetest of pleasures. —V AUVEN ARGUES How often we marvel at the creative ability of the painter, the sculptor, the designer. Yet we think none too often of the man who carves and shapes out of wood the chairs, the desks, the chests: pieces of furniture to suit our comfort, our daily need. Visit our Mr. Clinton Bilheimer whose workshop contains all kinds of queer tools to cut roughly or smoothly the surface turns of wood in either a plain or twisted form. Humbly, Mr. Bilheimer says that he wants boys to learn how to handle tools, to know that a little work can make the handy thing; but he does more than this—he creates in the hearts of boys an appreciation of home beauty. So careful is he in his practices, he teaches how to avoid slovenly thoughtless things in using tools and things in the home. Subject: Woodwork. Graduate of: Kutztown State Teachers College. Graduate Work at: Pennsylvania State College. HARRY NEWHARD Who through long days of labor, and nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music of wonderful melodies. —Longfellow Come, let’s step into the auditorium. We are taken by storm as the joyous, enlivening music meets our ears. It fills the audit orium beating a gay tempo above us, around us, beneath us. And pray, who can be the cause of all this harmony, this exhileration, those gladdening notes? Yes. that little dignified figure down there in the orchestra pit is that of Mr. Newhard, commanding the instruments to send forth those sweet sounds. To speak to this man is to become aware of the sincerity behind those kindly eyes and the mischievous quirk about his mouth. We greatly value the directing this man gives to the orchestra and the band. Best wishes as he continues his work with us. Subject: Director of band and orchestra. Graduate of: American Business College. VERNA A under heart, a will inflexible. —Longfellow Perhaps if you had been to Atlantic City this summer, you would have bumped into a slender “nut-brown maid” capering on the sunny sands. At first glance you might not have known her, but after penetrating through three or four coats of golden tan, you would have recognized Verna. When Verna comes back from the shore, she is as brown as a hickory nut just raring to go. On Miss Dotter’s slender shoulders rests the responsibility of coaching the Girls, what a grand coach she makes! Verna seems so much like one of us that an outsider would hardly take her for a teacher. And what are her interests? Only these: knitting, swimming, coaxing tunes out of the piano, and tripping the light fantastic”. Subjects: Health, Supervisor of Athletics. Graduate of: West Chester State Teachers College, Penn State. WILLIAM BENNETT, PH.B. The hand that follows intellect can achieve — Michelangelo What can be more beautiful than nature? Answer: a keen appreciation of it. Here, then, we have a man who p ssesses much beauty, for his interests and experiments arc greatest in the art of nature which is broad and inclusive. Aside from teaching the subject of nature in school, Mr. Bennett proves his love and respect for natural life by raising bees and pigeons on the grounds of his lovely stone home. Mr. Bennett is a student of natural studies both in the practical and scientific value of his subjects. His other interests are social studies, business, and a delightful family which add greatly to his intellect and social nature. Subjects: General Mathematics and Biology. Graduate of: Keystone Stare Teachers College, Muhlenberg College. Graduate uork at: Muhlenberg College, Lafayette College, Pennsylvania State College. LOTTIE MOYER, R.N. A face with gladness overspread! Soft smiles by human kindness bred! —W ORDSWORTH Stepping into the health room we are cheerily greeted by a trim blue-clad figure. May I help you? This is a question typical of Miss Moyer, our school nurse. To help others live healthily and happily is her worthy aim. Through her valuable experiences in practical nursing, she is amply qualified to teach the girls new and interesting facts about home nursing. Among Miss Moyer’s many interests we find she has a love for gardening, cooking, and making her home attractive. Subjects: Home Nursing, Official School Nurse. Graduate of: Lankenau Hospital, Penn State College. Graduate umk at: Muhlenberg College. MAHLON MILLER, M.D. In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than giving health to men. —Cicero 5—9; 145; tonsils removed; bad molar; vision 20—20; a gruff next! and for years this 3 minute consultation must do. In spite of the fact that we contact him only 3 minutes of the 290 days we are in school, we get to know Doc’s” real self fairly well. His impersonal yet tender handling of us, his abrupt yet sure manner, his quick yet accurate once over, his gruff voice saying 5—9; 145; tonsils removed;’’ etc., will ever remain with us to remind us of him who safeguarded our greatest possession, health. Medical Inspector of School. Graduate of: Kutztown State Teachers College, Medico-Chirugical College of the University of Pennsylvania. College of Anatomy, Interneat Allentown Hospital.

In summer time, Nick, as a caddy, shows his endurance and perseverance, especially when hunting for a ball in weeds up to his knees. Rather than being heard, Nick prefers being seen, and rather than being seen he prefers to see; all of which surely rates him A-l, and will help him reach his aim in life, about which, as usual, he is strangely silent. General Course. Class Basketball, Oh! Doctor. BEATRICE BEAHM 2236 Main Street When things uere as fine as could be I thought 'twas the spring; but also it was she. —John Byron To share and share alike, Beatty spends her time with both boys and girls. She makes a jolly companion, erstwhile student, ana honorable classmate. We wonder whether Beatty is interested more in the con-tn.ercial course, or an usher in a local theatre, which she makes a habit to attend at least once a week. With her joking and jesting, she has become a popular chum among her classmates. Her winning personality will help her succeed in the business world. Therefore the senior class extends their wishes for success to their beloved classmate. Commercial Course. Glee Club, Rings in the Sawdust. PETER BEDNARCIK 2399 Washington Avenue Speech is better than silence; silence is better than speech. —Emerson Is Pete here today? The usual question is asked when this Hi-Y man decides to go fishing or hunting; clerk in his father’s grocery store, or drive down Main Street in his Chevy. This dark-haired, true-lover of sports has received honors for his excellent work in life-searching at the Swimming Hole last summer, and in football, playing a good guard position. Although Pete seems shy, he is quite able to add splendid information to a conversation that commands his respect. The natural refinement of our classmate is most pleasing, even when he is silent. Commercial Course. Hi-Y, Commercial Club, Football. PAULINE BILOVESKY 101 West 10th Street Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes. Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies. —Byron Pauline is one of us girls blessed with a truly sunny dispose tion for which she is esteemed by her friends. Her serious thoughts turn towards mathematics as she is decidedly mathematically inclined. Mr. Fegely can vouch for this. Although she is serious in regards to her school work, her sense of humor makes itself known when a truly humorous situation arises needless to say there are many. She has a kind-hearted disposition and we all can verify that To know her is to love her. Academic Course. Rings in the Sawdust, Oh!

Studious—yes. Emma ranks high in scholarship. Cheerful. Always a smile is her motto. Quiet ... ah! This is the question. Talking is her pet hobby. Who hasn’t heard her hearty laugh. Last but not least we shall never forget her interpretation of that famous blues song Dinah.” While we think she would be a very good blues singer, we hear her declare her choice of a life’s career in the teaching profession.

She loves to prepare food too. To her many friends Mary’s home-life is so interesting that they have sought her in learning how to crochet and embroider designs of Ukranian art and adopt them to home furnishings. No one can quite tell how interesting the boys arc to Mary. She holds her own counsel admitting to no one what she thinks or feels. Typing letters of every day business will carry on the duties of the home, office, or any other place that will suit a lov. er-of-home. Commercial Course.

STEPHEN DEMCHYK 2357 Washington Avenue To those who know thee not, no words can paint; And those who know thee, knou all words are faint. — More Steve is one of those rare fellows who makes a good impression and lives up to it. One cannot help liking Steve; his genial good nature and his versatility as an athlete have won him the respect and affection of his classmates. No one feels more at home on the gridiron or in the court. As varsity end in football he was always in the thick of the scrimmage, contributing one of the touchdowns to win the Catty” game. Then he ably captained the basketball team. Yes, he is a student too. With all his attainments this Apollo has set more than one tender heart throbbing, but he still remains modest and unassuming.

Indeed, commercial work, for some day Arlene intends to find a place for herself in the Big Business World, to which intention your classmates add many best wishes for success, which we know, you will find.

I could bring home A’s instead of D’s ...” This is the tune usually hummed by the genial, jovial “Count” of our class, none other than “Tony” (You should have seen him in Bachelor’s Choice.”) His light-heartedness without a care in the world, unless its about that certain Miss” in the Sophomore Class, makes “Tony” a favorite chum among his classmates. He enjoys the various sports, but his favorite pastime is dancing, which, due to his unique method, gives him the title of the “Fred Astaire” in our class.

There is Jacob’s home where he loves to do all kinds of outdoor work required on a farm. Raising chickens, planting crops, and growing potatoes are some of the things Jacob can talk about with a great deal of interest. At school we see him very ambitious to get the lessons completed so that his hours may be free to tend to farm duties after the school day. His earnest purpose in all things, his long hiking steps so firm in their stride give us an idea that his contrast with soil has taught him how to conquer the elements of nature. He is strong.

GLEN SMITH 1358 Washington Avenue I cannot tell how the truth may he; I say the tale as 'tuas said to me. —Scott This handsome commercial student is better known as Smitty”. Whenever a group of fellow students are seen laughing aloud down the hall, the cause can undoubtedly be traced back to Smitty’s” joke, an ability Glen has possessed throughout his High School Days. However to make people laugh does not alone constitute his character. Glen can also make people think—yes, think in reference to honesty, obedience and all other qualities making up the gentleman. Homeroom discussions always find Glen holding the attention of the class with his stirring reports. In the woodwork shop he can be looked up to as Mr. Bilheimer’s assistant. Such subjects as electricity, mechanics, and metal work have gained his interest. Not to mention his hobbies, reading and tinkering, would be an injustice. We have actual knowledge that he with the aid of a friend actually put together a radio that worked. Commercial Course. Baseball, Harmony Club.

Art and photography are his main interests, and well reveal to us his manifold personality.

At the mention of the name of this gray-eyed young lass, a pleasant glow lights our face and our eyes glisten happily as a riot of gay and wistful memories are recalled. Serene and gentle in manner is Loy who possesses a nature that speaks of a clean and wholesome association with the deep-wooded hills which seem to have solved the secret of nature’s sweet harmonious living.

Few of our classmates know of Bill’s ability as a golfer, an ability developed between rouncs as a caddy.

The rhythm has given her a delightful touch so that in typing she excels in speed and accuracy. She loves to read biographies and in these books she has become acquainted with the Lincoln family and the Roosevelt family.

It is our last year as students of N.H.S. Looking back, we find our Alma Mater has become dear to us. Her teachings will always be remembered in time of need. During our stay as wards of our Alma Mater we have labored endlessly for much that we have desired; in obtaining our desires we have passed many experiences, too numerous to place in this meager place, both in social and educational lights, which have made our class the mo t outstanding in all realms - social, athletics - and educational. —Donald Kline CLASS PROPHECY W --� F I WERE ............I would........... I , Sounds familiar? Yes. Most of us have I at some time or other stood on a liter-j i al soapbox and expounded our desires in just this fashion. Maybe we wanted to be famous, maybe it was that faroff dream of a cottage for two, that long-planned excursion to distant lands or we may have finally settled for just a few million dollars. Whatever it was, it did us no harm to wish. Here we have set forth the most fervent wishes of the class of '36. Letting the class express their wishes will give a fairly accurate and interesting prophecy of their future. As a warning, may we say that there was no set limit to our wishing (and the imagination of a Senior unleashed knows no bounds.) Read on, but do not be disturbed. After all they are only wishes.

Signed: Effie Mae The Jeep ALGERNON CHESTERFIELD CONTEMPLATES SUICIDE Yes, there was clearly hut one path for him to take. But this was a difficult path, it seemed to Algernon Chesterfield, otherwise called Algie. Hard as he tried he couldn’t make the basketball team; then it was quite positive that algebra couldn’t be pounded into his head —so he was dunking the subject. However, the crowning blow had been dealt by his parents Algie thought. They had just refused to buy him the much-needed tuxedo for the Junior prom. Disappointment loomed on all sides. Failure in Algebra, no position on the basket ball team, and oh misery! no tuxedo for the Junior prom, therefore no prom. Well, he’d face it like a man and end it all. There was absolutely nothing to live for. He thrust out his chin defiantly and thought: “Maybe that won’t make them sorry.’’ It was nice to think of how his family would rave and carry on when he was gone. Then another d.sappointment stabbed him. Too bad he wouldn’t be able to be there and enjoy himself while they were suffering. He could just imagine his father saying, “Why didn’t 1 buy him a tuxedo? After all what’s money compared to our beloved son?’’ And his Algebra teacher would say, Maybe the boy wasn’t as dumb as I thought he was. I should have passed him. And the coach would say, “I'll bet that boy would have been our star player if he had lived.’’ By this time Algie was very scornful of all these people, It was a little too late to be sorry now, wasn't it?” he muttered. Just then voices reached him from the next room— his mother’s voice. Yes, Mrs. Jones I’m only telling you, it is really a big secret. You know AIgie’sbirthday is this Friday. I’m getting him the nicest tuxedo and my husband has bought him the most beautiful roadster you ever laid eyes on. Hearing this, Algie immediately became all ears and. soon a big grin crept from ear to ear. “Well, well, maybe it isn’t such a bad world after all!’’ OUR CLASS IN VERSE By very slyly “snooping around. Little secrets of our classmates have been found. Marion Weaver is quite tall; There is always a cheery hello when you you pass her in the hall. Dorothy Yourg’s walk to school each day Is long enough to keep her gay. There has been quite a rumor That Earnest Jacoby is a crooner. Anthony Eckhart is quite a sheik On the dance floor he is hard to beat. Playing basketball is quite an an; Agnes Seicr certainly takes it to heart. John Humenik’s pet clarinet Makes him “blow” to keep his pep. “Tommy, our Girl Reserve leader. Is always smiling when you meet her. Donald Kline’s one ambition Is to become popular with the women. Arlene Danner is a flying miss Riding in the “Buick is her bliss. “Chippy, the “brain of our class. Never lets an opportunity pass. Helen, with her voice, often entertains us; We hope it may some day make her famous. Russel is a studious lad Although the girls think it sometimes sad. Mary Mychuda, small and chubby. Would make a nice wife for some lucky hubby. In basketball Delma is at her best. Although “getting in” early is quite a test. Tushy likes to drive a Ford, We hope it may some day be a Cord. Of all the pretty blushes girls can make, “B.ll Stangle certainly takes the cake. “Dolly’s” dancing brought her fame; If you dance, it may bring you the same. While teasing the girls, “Buttercup’s” firm belief Is that he will never be filled with grief. Steve has a weakness for sports. But he has weaknesses of all sorts. Emma, our distinguished entertainer. Will never let anything detain her. “Woody” Lindenmoyer’s delight Is his long walk to and from school each morning and night. Beat-ice Roth is an ambitious girl Perhaps that is why her hair curls. No one can “out-smart Jim He has an answer for everything. From mori ing till night Catherine Hrinda walks around The fact is not strange but it’s without a frown. John Tarafas is the smallest member of our class Yet, he is willing to do the biggest task. There are others we must admit. But I think it is time to quit. AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS TRIBUTE Written by Beatrice Roth BRIEF TWELVE years and now the parting; one chapter in our lives is done, We pause a bit to look about us; find that Life for us has just begun, But, looking backward o’er the years, we know that they’ve been sweet. And we pause to pay our Tribute to those who’ve made possible this “Treat.” In general, to our School Day’s our mem’ries swell in glory, For those “Dear Old Golden Rule Days” tell a glorious story. And then, to all our classmates, with whom the paths we’ve trod together, To reach this happy goal, through bright and stormy weather. To the Peers, who are our teachers, gallant men and women, What words might here be spoken, that could express more than the minimum Of the high and gracious honor, we would to you present? In this-the hour of our parting, it is hard to express our genuine sentiment. But we would have you understand that all which we’ve received, Will figure in our each success it is staunch belief. ’Tis you who’ve taught us how to learn, how to set our ideals high. You’ve taught us how to Fight through Life, until we reach the sky. Yet, for all this fineness we’ve been giv’n, with gentle word or sweet rebuke, At farewell, our grateful, flowing hearts, can offer only— silently worded Tribute: Our golden School Days Our cherished School Mates Our gracious Teachers Our beloved Alma Mater .........Sweet Memories.............Will forever linger on...................... JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY N THE threshold of our final year, and what we hope will j be our greatest one, we pause a moment and look back over the term just completed. This past year was a most profitable one, socially as well as educationally. The Junior Class was very active and took part in practically all the extra-curricular events. In these affairs, whether they were of the athletic, dramatic, or social nature, our representatives acquitted themselves nobly. However, of all these, the greatest success was attained in our Junior Speaking Contest. The participants gave a variety of selections. The girl prize winners were Mary Czerkas and Elizabeth Remmel, while George Sieger and Raymond Newhard carried off the honors for the boys. Next year, with the honored title of Seniors resting on our shoulders we shall try to attain greater heights than ever before. — Stephen Kowalyshyn JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Stephen Kowalyshyn Michael Temoshak George Sieger Marie Nicholas Andrew, Esther Apple, Elwood Assed, Susie Bell, Ray Bengston, Mildred Biery, George Bodnick, Katie Budinetz, George Cerker, Stephen Czapp, William Czerkas, Mary Daubert, Chester Dornbach, Dorothy Druckenmiller, Harold Easterday, Beatrice Eberhard, Thomas Fedorak, Marguerite Fehnel, Henry Fogle, Alvin Frey, Elmo Frye, Roland Behringer, Renia CLASS ROLL Gogle, Marie Guss, Hale, Jr. Guss, Virginia Herbcrling, Pauline Hnath, Helen Hoffman, Leora Hvazda, Wassyl Knappenberger, Myrtle Korutz, Peter Kowalyshyn, Stephen Kramlick, Charles Kraynick, Michael Kremko, Metro Lerch, Catherine Liskanich, Wassyl Lobach, Woldemar Luisser, Stephen Mantz, Edith Mast, Helen Mathern, Elizabeth Miller, Myrtle Winkle, Carlton President Vice-President Secretary - -Treasurer Newhard, Raymond Nicholas, Marie Oplinger, Grace Peters, Thelma Piervallo, Emma Porter, Emily Procanyn, Melvin Puchyr, John Rau, Lcou Reiter, Frank Remmel, Elizabeth Roth, Marilyn Sedzmak, Michael Sieger, George Sillies, Heher Simcoe, Goldie Smith, George Stempak, Andrew Sutliff, Ruth Temoshak, Michael Williams, Kenneth Yagerhofer, Fred SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY E HAVE BEEN the latest arrivals to the Senior High School. To us, high school meant something new, for in it we have met new teachers and have undertaken different subjects. Gradually we have come to know all our teachers and have found out that they have been real pals” whenever we needed guidance. We have come to the end of a very successful school year. During this term the Sophomore Class has been well represented in many school activities. In the annual operetta Oh! Docter,” Alfred Pierce, Henry Weaver, and Richard Miller received leading roles well supported by the rest of us in choruses and dances. Among us we have such stellar basketball players as Mike Hrinda, Peter Schneider, Charles Heffner, John Yankovitch, George Gilli, Alex Schur, Paul Onkotz, and Louis Skoke who greatly aided Coach Ludwig on his team. Still we must not forget the Catty” game where Sottolano, Skoke, Onkotz, Schneider, Yankovitch, Gilli, and Shut did such spectacular playing. Many of our class members have joined organizations such as the Band, Orchestra, Girls Glee Club, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, The Debating Club, and the high school Intra-mural Basketball League. Besides participation in Athletics and extra-curricular activities, we have well-earned high honor and honor cards in scholarship. We are working toward our next year, when as Juniors, we will continue to do better than we have done and meet success in whatever we undertake.

To all who were out there every day through all kinds of weather, there was nothing but happy moments and clean hard fighting. Not a dull moment to remember from September fourth until Thanksgiving Dav. Coach Ludwig’s first words were, “We have started off right, we learned last year how to be good loos rs and grin. Now, this year we are ready; it is our time to win.” Weeklv we found the play more interesting. N-w p-oblems presented themselves and we set ut to conquer them one by one. One week we would prepare to run against one type of defence and the next week another. One week we would build a defense to stop a typical Warner offense and the next week ir might have been a Rockne ffense to prepare for. Coach kept us well-informed for all such things and we will never forget his excitement in giving and explaining to us a new play which he probably doped out in a dream the night before. We found them to be thrilling; always antw spark to throw at our opponents each week. This continued throughout the entire season, nothing but fun, fun and more fun in our work. Nothing was ever so hard as handing in our uniforms to close tr.e season. The old saving. “Wait until next year,” has met irs timely end in the fall of 1935, when the boys came through not only beating“Catty” but also by hi ving taken the championship within league competition. The scores were completely reversed from the previous season when Coach Ludwig had grouped together a squad of players who were n t well acquainted with the game. Although they put up many a brilliant fight, the scores were not always in their favor. The same squad with the exc p-tion of seven letterm n were faithfully rraired to win not only technically but al-o with the scores in our favor. The sound of the whistle starting spring training was answered by approximately sixty boys. This number was cut d wn to a minimum from which the squad was chosen to rep resent the Northampton High School squad in the Lehigh V alley Interscholast'c League for the coming season. With the aid of his assistants. “Mickey” Lisetski. from Muhlenberg; “Tom” Ronemus. FOOTBALL (Continued) Temple; “Albie” Lerch, fresh from East Stroudsburg; Coach Ludwig began his work in higher spirits than the previous season. The season was opened with the idea of ‘‘Beat Catty” and was closed by defeating “Catty” by the score 13-12. The squad for the coming season will be as strong as ever because of the experienced players that will remain for two more terms. Graduation will take six lettermen, but their position will be amply filled by capable playets. The six players who will be spectators rooting and fighting just as hard and harder than the squad for their beloved Coach Ludwig, speak for the graduating class in wishing him, his assistants and players a more successful season next year and hope that he remain with us fora long time. PERSONAL Demchyk, “Steve”. “Sieve” will be missed next season at an end posirion. We will not foreet the Cattv pass for the first touchdown, his blocking, tackling, and as a pass receiver spelled success in many a game. Steve’s” future in football depends on whether he will live up to its standards. Schneider, Pete. Big Pete” proved to be not only the key man on many spectacular offensive plays but also a stalwart barrier to round as defensive end. You can count on Pete” for the next two terms to do great things both offensively and defensively. When you are old and gray, Ask Pete about the ”101 play.” Kobach, “Butch”. As the ball carrier comes headed for an off-tackle play, down he goes faster than he ever got up, after he had been hit by “Butch . “Butch” will never forget the many lessons he learned in his football career We hate to lose him because of his pep. The meaning of quitting has nevir'been clearly spelled to him due to the great store of vitality and vigor he possesses. Yankovitz, J. “The All-American,” whose ability to close gaps large or small was soon discovered by the sports-writers. Chosen as tackle on the All Lehigh Valley Team,” great- ly pleased the town people. Two more years of high school football will beyond a doubt make excellent college material out of Yanko.” Watch him go the ntxt two years. Evans, W. Only a ninth grader, but who likes to play opposite him in the line? This sturdy young player has all it takes to make an outstanding guard- Now what about three more years of football he has coming. Great things are expected of William in the future. Laky, J. Captain Jim” was always alert to make a keen decision for the good of his fellows. “Jim” has had only two years of football. Starting as a manager until getting disgusted by seeing the good derived by playing football he finally was granted the right to join the squad. His good head, excellent blocking and tackling will carry him far into football stardom if he chooses to continue. Haldeman, I. “Coach, 1 went down to the C.M.T.C. camps all summer and now I am big and tough enough to make the team.” And he certainly was! A year ago the coach wanted to out him because he was too small and that there were too many possibilities of his getting injured. This year he proved to be a dependable and sturdy guard who never stopped fighting until the final whistle sounded. William, K. and Chernansky, J. At center we had great “strength.” “Kenny” and “Ginger” both one as good as the other proved to be too tough to pass in the center when a buck was headed up their alley. With both boys coming back we know that the center of our line will be well fortified. Schur, A. “Shur back, punt in coffiin corner;” this statement was always well carried out as “Alec” dropped back to punt the pigskin. His fine punting in games such as “Catty,” Nazareth,” and others will not be forgotten for a lorg time. As a passer and ball carrier he was outstanding in many games which turned the tide from a defeat to a victory. His punting, passing, and ball carrying abilities will greatly help the high school team as they have done in the past. Skok, L. “Skokie” our plunging fullback FOOTBALL (Continued) broke open many a ticker defence for long gains that proved fatal for the opponents. His pass receiving ability broke open many a well-formed pass defense. Surly two more years of hieh school football will be satisfactorily used by “Skokie” who has big opportunities coming his way. Onkotz, P. “Hail to Pauly” who showed us that a baseball player could turn football-minded and make good. He prefer- the num ber 77 jersey in like fashion to the great “Red” Grange” known in football as the “Galloping Gh st. Watch for Number 77 next year and see what those loose hips of his can really do. Sottalano, J. Little Jimmv made a great general when we consider that he was changed into a quarterback over night. He loves every phase of the game and his undying enthusiasum has led him to make a study of the game which will undoubedlv spell success to Northampton 'earns as long as he remains in school. Perdick, J. One day a fullback, next day a quarterback and finally his aggressiveness led him into a defensive tackle position “Tushie’s” educated toe turned two tie games into victories namely: Lehighton and Catty. These two feats and many others will carry him far into the hearts of football-minded people. Biery. G. There goes Biery and the fans were on their toes waiting for something to happen. Several times he proved to be the man of the hour. His headiness as a field general turned the tied in the Catty game. Wolf, H. Between vitamin reports and slugging Butter” always had the coach on edge. On the defense or offense “Butter” always showed pep and plenty of fight although the odds were against him. Guards, Zelena and Burkhardt. Zelena, a scrappy athlete, gave the “top-notcher” a hard fight all through the season. Burkhardt who has already experienced action this season will remain and fill the shoes of his predecessor. Trinkle, Komenc and Schaffer. Underclassmen who are coming along fine as guards and may see action in the future as tackles. Eberhardt.Tom. Another well built lad who has played in a few games will also be in there fighting for a varsity position this coming year. “Watch him!” Newhard, “Danny”, another well-rounded youth will be back fighting as hard as the others to earn himself a position in the line as tackle. Milisits, Joe; Demchyk, “Russ;” Pritko. “Steve”: these fellows all have what it takes to makegood. You can count on them togivethe “top-notchers” a real fight for their respective positions. Heffner, C. “Cholly,” a fast little end, has plaved a few games and gathered quite some information which will prove valuable to him for the two coming season. A lot is expected from him next year. Gillie, G. “Georgie” an able passer and a good tackier has all the qualities to become a mainstay on next year’s squad. His failure or success depends on his own honest efforts. Laky, “Fats;” Werbicky, “Fudgi;” Chimays, “John” are backmen who played hard in practices; who may successfully attain and secure themselves a backfield man’s position.

Much need not be said of Mickey” for we all know that he is an outstanding shortstop in the East Penn League. The “go-get-em” attitude he displays made him the drawing card in the Twilight League a few seasons ago. His fine infielding and consistant hitting at Muhlenberg College greatly aided them in their climb for the championship of the Middle Atlantic Conference. As an official Mickey” proved to be tops, both in basketball and football. Due to the true sportsmanship which he always displayed, he is w-ell knowm among rhe sport fans in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding territory. The season was opened when Irvington came up from New Jersey to display their skill. The game ended in a thorough battle for them with the score in their favor 5 to 4. Another preliminary game was played on the Allentown Fair Grounds with Allentown High School. This game was called off due to rain in the fifth inning. Emaus and Slatington were easily defeated by the respective scores of 7 to 1 and 7 to 4. Although Lehighton was completely outplayed, a few' bad breaks turned the table' with a score 4 to 3 in their favor. This leaves Northampton in a three way tie for first place. “Mickey” thinks that a cup will be brought home from Palmerton. PERSONAL Mike Hrinda” Lead-off man and shortstop. One of the best hitters on the team who by graduation will be one of the best infielders the school ever had. “Chaliv Heffner”—Our Center Fielder. He is a speed merchant although he is one of the smallest men of the squad. He is outstanding in baserunning and is considered to be the best outfielder in the league. He is leading the team in home runs with two in five games. “Jim Laky”-One of the four seniors to graduate from the squad. A fine all around player, equally at home while pitching, playing infield or outfield: who takes his baseball seriously: is a dangerous man at the bat and whom Coach Lisetsksi thinks is the ideal type of leader whose athletic prowess will be missed next year. Alex Schur—Clean-up man and most consistant hitter on the squad. Short, stocky, “Al” is quite an actor around the first base. Never has much to say, is of a quiet disposition with a great future in store for him. “Woody” Lindenmoyer- “Dutch” to you. The only left-handed hitter on the team who BOYS BASEBALL (Continued) coverts around third base and is a consistent threat to opposing pitchers. “Woody’s” athletic career was cut short by a temporary illness. Trinkle, “Johnnie”, Forced out of competition through illness in his home “Johnnie” promises to be one of the best baseball players ever to wear a uniform in this institution. Pint-sized in structure, he packs a terrific punch with the willow as is evidenced by his average. In addition he has one cf the finest throwing arms in the league. Zarinsky, “Lottie”, Never a standout player “Lottie” makes up for any deficiency by his consistency both at bft and afield. He is improving with added experience and by graduation time, two years hence, will be the peer cf ktys'c ne guardian in the league. Kra nick, “Mike”, Cocky, peppery backstop for the Black and Orange whose chatter is distinguished above all the rest. Not a great hitter, nor an outstanding catcher but a hustler at all times. He has slow improvment, needs more experience. Makes up for any losses by his witticism and his showmanship. “Russ” Kowalvshyn, Catcher and outfielder; dependable, hardworking senior who although never a star will nevertheless leave a great gap to be filled. Russ” and Kraynick alternate behind the bat. “Pauly” Onkotz, Critics hail this sleek-look-ing individual the finest pitcher in the league. Although only a Sophomore “Pauly” has earned an enviable reputation as a pitcher and outfielder. He has everything that is needed for a pitcher to make geed: ability, goed arm, physique, control and with two years of experience will make a great addition to any college nine. His rise has been phenomenal. May it continue to be so. Metro Kren.ko, Forced into the lineup as a result of several regulars. Metro has made good with a bang. He is a graceful performer in the outer gardens and possesses a fine throwing arm. “Ernie” Jacoby, Jacksonville’s portside, aided in the hurling department; saw very little service due to a small schedule. Has quite an assortment of curves; a nice fast ball and should make a good addition to any team in this vicinity. Graduation will also claim this senior. “Wald” Loback, Pinch-hitter on numerous occasions has ability that finds him at home either in the outfield or the pitcher’s box. Only southpaw on the team. Other prominent players who made the squad and from whom a great deal is expected next year are: Burkhart, Chunky Treichlers, Catcher, “Ginger Chernansky, who plays outfield; “Geo” Biery, infielder; “Fats” Laky in-fielder; “Pete” Schneider, elongated outfielder and pitcher; “Mike” Wenglasz, infielder; “Russ” Demchyk, outfielder. Tne managers who take care of the equipment, and give rub downs and many other things, “Tony” Eckhardt Chief and Ass’t Chief “Was Liskanich. SEASON’S BASEBALL SCORES N. H. S. 7 Emaus 1 N. H.

Fresh from the laurels of football, the squad consisting o’ inexperienced material, developed into great form with the opening of the league. Borrowing from last year’s Junior Varsiry team and using what material he had. Coach Ludwig whipped the team into a clicking combination that beat Palmerton for the firs' time in nine years. The team, although they did nor win the championship of the league, finished in the upper division of the league standing with a successful season. Since most of the players consist of boys in rhe Juniot and Sophomore classes and will be back again next season, the few graduating members of the squad wish Coach Ludwig and his players plenry of luck for next season and hope they can reach the championship goal. The players who proved their worth and saw most action in the games played were: Peter Schneider, a six foot three man who held the center position, the most experienced member of the squad who controlled most of the taps during the season. Stephen Demchyk. a stalwart, versatile lad, held down one of the guard positions and ably captained the team. Steve wras not a star but one who could use his head. Mike Kobach, was the other guard who played his position well. He was able to guard and guard well, besides being able to score when a score was needed. Mike Hrinda. a small lad, was a dead shot and proved it by being the team’s highest scorer. Louis Skok, a forward in the early part of the season, was changed to guard near rhe end of the season where he proved his ability. Alieck Shur, a sturdy fast-going football man who also proved to be a basketball player, held down one of the forw'ard positions. Paul Onkorz, who alternated at the forward position with Hrinda and Shur showed the best developed form when in a ball game. John Yankovitch and George Gilli, two six-footers alternated at center and guarded respectively with deserving credit. Charles Heffner and George Biery, two small fast-breaking men alternated at rhe forward positions. Others who saw varsity action were: Julius Perdick and John Chenansky, guards; Wallace Sheska, forward. BOYS BASKETBALL SEASON’S BASKETBALL SCORES N. H. S. 23 N. H. S. 16 N. H. S. 31 N. H. S. 9 N. H.

Due to the combined efforts of Miss Dotter and the cooperation of the team, the champoinship of the Lehigh Valley has been restored to the N. H. S. Girls Basketball Team after a four year’s absence. The girls made a stellar showing by winning all the league games and two out of four independent games. This splendid record cannot be continued because girls basketball has been discontinued. Many budding young stars have been doomed to disappointment but are enlightened by the part that, until. Girls Basketball is continued. We the girls of N. H. S. remain the Undefeated Champions.

Success in this came from many sources: the wonderful cooperation and willingness to aid from our faculty advisors; the commendable spirit shown by the staff in getting their particular assignments “in” on time; Mr. Fegely’s cohorts of speedy type setters, together with his own sacrifice of time and patience, and Miss Perry’s artistic ability to suggest plus the skill of her senior students. Collectively, we are all proud of the part we have played in producing this final product which will stay as the best for years to come. This, our Amptennian, is really ours, not only in name but by our own labors. Proudly we say that we have composed and printed it in our own school, so that it is truly a representative of the class of ’36. Once more we lay a challenge to the oncoming Seniors so that the standards of the book may never be lowered, a challenge to produce, if po-sible, a better volume.

TAP! TAP! TAP! — four taps of the mallet calls the meeting to order. It is the meeting of the Northampton High School Hi-Y Club. “What is our purpose?” inquires the president of the Hi-Y. “To create, maintain, ar.d extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character,” echo the resounding voices of the members. The business of the day follows, discussed by all the members. The discussion is over and a motion to adjourn is made. This, to all, is a typical Hi-Y meeting. The Hi-Y clubu as again successful financially and socially. To every member goes the credit for this success. The Hi-Y socials throughout the year were a great delight to all. Annually, the Hi-Y Clubs of Eastern Penna. hold a conference. This year the conference was held at Bethlehem where members of our club represented the Northampton High School Hi-Y Club. The Hi-Y Club was ably led by four senior officers, and wisely directed by its faculty advisor Mr. Buell. Of the senior officers, Julius Perdick, a very initiative lad who was chosen as the president of the club, suitably presided at the club’s meetings. Stephen Demchyk, the vice-president, was an alert chap, who capably filled the shoes of the president in his absence. Harold Wolf, the secretary, kept an accurate record of minutes and all other business of the club. David Rector, the treasurer, kept a clean account cf all the financial business of the club. GIRL RESERVES t O TRY and face life squarely and to I find and stive rhe best.” With this motto in mind twenty-four girls strive during the year to be loyal to their Blue and White triangle and to be of service to anyone who needs help. Girl Reserve meeting today at 3:30” is a familiar phrase passed from girl to girl each week. And with their weekly and monthly meetings these Girl Reserves give pleasure to someone and learn to be true to their code. Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends. Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all rimes A Hallowe’en Party, Leap Year Dance, Hikes, May Breakfast, Spice Shower for Miss Reed who is leaving us in June to enter that age-old career of matrimony, and a large Girl Reserve danc. attended by members from the past three years, were many of the delightful activities that have been a part of this successful year for the Girl Reserves. Much of the success of this organization is due to the excellent guidance of their faculty advisor. Miss Arline Kistler, whose cheerful and sympathetic nature has made her a pal of every girl. The officers this year were President, Marion Thomas; Vice-President, Beatrice Roth; Secretary. Marjorie Santee; Treasurer, Dorothy Scheirer; Corresponding Secretary, Emily Porter; Custodian, Marie Nicholas. As the seniors leave us each year they goon towards womanhood with a better and clearer understanding due to the guidance and training which they received as a Girl Reserve. Always their last wish shall be that the Girl Reserves will serve all girls in finding the higher ideals of young womanhood. STUDENT AS the true representative of Northampton i High, the Student Council has tried to bring forth into reality the wishes of all students, for whom this body had been originally planned. This group was organized in 1919 under the name of Student Betterment Association. In 1926 the name was changed to the Student Council.

COUNCIL The following cffcers were elected; President Russell Kowalvshyn; Vice President, Agnes Seier; Secretary, Mary Czerkasjand Treasurer. Wallace Sheska. We urge the oncoming council members to continue the promotion of the best interests of the students. That further cooperation with the entire student body might be more easily encouraged, several messages were delivered in assembly programs by the officers. —Russell Kowalyshn NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OUR SCHOOL has been honored this year and in former years with a chapter of the National Honor Society. This society is a national organization and aims and strives to build up its members into worthy and well-educated citizens. It accomplishes this aim by stressing the four major ideals of scholarship, leadership, character, and service and in so doing develops and instills in each one of its members these four ideals. The members of the society, consisting of fifteen per cent of the Senior class were chosen from ti e upper quartileof the class by a group of faculty members who recommended them. The choice of this committee was based upon the extent to which the ideals of scholarship, leadership, character, and service had been developed in each candidate. By this method of selecting the members only those pupils who are the best that the class can offer are taken into the society. During the school year the organization accomplished many things worthy of note. Always working quietly and without much ado as is their custom, the various members coached their classmates in the art of studying for the purpose of attaining higher grades. Every member gave willingly of his time and services in this task and in so doing not only helped others but acquired much valuable experience and thus helped himself. At the meetings of the society the four objects and ideals were freely discussed and a member of the faculty, in a very fine speech, presented these aims in a novel manner. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Shatffcr, the sponsor, the members steadily progressed thruout the year and gained many valuable benefits which will surely help them to “Arise, Go Forth, and Conquer,” in their future lives. —Paul Nicholas SENIOR CLASS PLAY EVERYBODY ready?. .. .Jim! You belong in the opposite wings.....Nancy! On the stage. Hurry! .... Here we go ... . Curtain! The green and gold velvet curtains part, disclosing the scene of our senior class play, the living room of the Conway Home. A well-trained cast behind footlights faced squarely a somewhat dubious, nevertheless attentive audience. The first act presented ambitious Mrs. Conway, drilling her young, lovable daughter Nancy, for a singing contest. Nancy was unduly nervous due to much practice, and what is more vital, to the predicament she has placed herself in by becoming involved with Lord Lovett through a “Lovelorn” column.The family’s financial difficulties reach their peak when uncle Henry loses his job, and his much postponed marriage to Barbara Dale must again be put off. Jim Bachelor, fiancee to Alice, Mrs. Conway's older daughter, appears and through aunt Jane, who arrives unexpectedly, is brought to see Nancy as a lovely young lady. In conversation with Jim, Nancy tells of Lord Lovett, and act one closes with aunt Jane making Nancy admit she cares for Jim. The act is sealed with a hearty applause from an audience, no longer dubious but aroused. The second act introduces the dapper Lord Lovett. Aunt Jane, with Joey, Mrs. Conway’s youngest child doubt the identity of his “Lord-ship. ’’Lord Lovett and Alice become interested in each other. On the way to the concert aunt Jane is struck by an automobile and this news reaches the Conways by Mrs. Chiply, whose daughter Thelma, is a rival in the contest. As a result of shock, Nancy loses the contest to Thelma. By the end ot act two, the audience is murmuring delightfully at the successful performance. In the third act, a rumor that aunt Jane is dead reaches the Conways. But the keen, old woman returns to “set things to rights.” Alice and Lord Lovett elope before the telegram arrives, confirming aunt Jane’s suspicions of his posing as a Lord. Jim and Nancy “find themselves and are engaged. Aunt Jane hires uncle Henry as lawyer so that he and Barbara are married. Mrs. Conway, desiring to produce a singer, closes the comedy by starting Joey “in training” while aunt Jane looks amusedly on. Now the audience is gossiping in approval. And why this acknowledgment and real popularity of our play? This serves as a reason and tribute - great credit and many thanks to our two directresses. Miss Arlene Reed and Miss Marian Laubach, for their exceptional interpretation. Then each part was excellently interpreted by Olga Dwarnick, as Nancy; Mary Mychuda, as Mrs. Conway; Helen Hradkowsky, as Alice; Marian Thomas, as Thelma; Pauline Bilovesky, as Mrs. Chiply; Marjorie Santee, as Barbara Dale; and Beatrice Roth, as aunt Jane; Julius Perdick, as Jim Bachelor; John Humenik, as uncle Henry; Woodrow Lindenmoyer, as Joey; and Anthony Eckhart, as Lord Lovett. — Beatrice Roth THE BAND BY UNCEASING effort the Northampton High School Band has become the most active organization of the high school. Throughout the school term and the summer vacation this large body of musicians carry on. Mr. Harry Newhard. director, and Mr. Edwin Berg, assistant director and faculty advisor, have produced in rhe 1935-36 term probably the finest musical organization to represent Northampton High. Much credit for the development of the band is also given tc Mr. Leon Kuntz of the music department of the Junior High School. At all football and basketball games the band was a prominent feature. In addition to the regular school activities, it entered the State Class B Band competition. In the coun- ty contest held at Nazareth, the Northampton High School Band was eliminated by the Bangor High School Band. The required selection was the Overture Ariane” by Louis Boyer. The selected number was the Overture “Safari” by G. Holmes. Albert Geary, trombone soloist, and the brass quartet, composed of Robert Bennet, Thomas McArthur, Albert Geary, Leon Reimer, succeeded in reaching the state finals which were held at Pottsville. Trombonist Albert Geary was awarded second place in the state competition. The following are the band members of the, class of 1936: Eilus Haldeman, John Humenik, Russel Kowalyshyn, George Kraftician, Michael Ohotski, and William Snyder. — Russel Kowalyshyn DEBATING CLUB REPRESEN TING the Black and Orange forensically, the debating club again rhis school year put out a capable team. In preparation for several heated battles o wits and words, there was made an intensive studv of the question Resolved: That the several spates should enact legislation providing for a complete system of medical service available to all citizens at public expense. Under the able tutelage of Mr. Tinkcom. members of the club presented speeches in assembly programs and the two teams were coached. An extensive program was scheduled, but due to interference by other activities several cancellations resulted. Two debates were held. The first debate, an inter-club affairheld in the auditoriumon March 16, was won by the affirmative team. For the second debate, the affirmative team invaded South Whitehall High on Friday, March 20, and won a decision over a highly tutored negative team. Attorney Donald V. Hock judged and criticized the debate. Mr. Tinkcom deserves much credit and praise for his untiring efforts in continuing to produce debating teams which are consistently victorious over teams of other schools. The affirmative ream was composed of Michael Kraynick, Paul Nicholas, Russel Kowalyshyn and Stephen Kowalyshyn, alternate. The negative debaters were Catherine Hrinda, Mary Mychuda, and Stephen Kowalyshyn. — Russell Kowalyshyn JUNIOR ORATORICAL CONTEST OUR Juniors made their debut in the tenth annual speaking contest on the evening of February 20. 1936. The stage, beautifully furnished as a living room, was decorated with palm- and yellow tea roses, our class flower. To the left of the platform was a poster in blue and gold announcing our motto, Learn to Live and Live to Lm n. Members of our Junior class were seated throughout the auditorium, giving courage to those e'ghr classmates representing them in this memorablt contest. As each speaker rose to give his selection, he had two thincs in mind, his class motto and the last encouraging words of our teacher and friend, Miss Arline Kistler. Let us imagine ourselvts st ated in the Northampton High School auditorium to hear the speakers this evening. The poetic “Hiawatha’s Childhood” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow the story of a little Indian boy taught by his grandmother, the good Nokomis, is interpreted by Beth Remmel. “The Way of Lite,” bv ChauncevFay is explained by Michael Kraynick, who finds a spiritual force necessary to eliminate the killing effect of economic materialism. To relieve the serious attitude, Virginia Guss impersonates the rich comedy, “Much Ado about Nothing” by William Shakespere, until we fall in love with the saucy and beautiful Beatrice. Then The Unknown Soldier,” by Bruce Barton speaks to us in the voice of Srephen Kowalyshyn, who would make war “obsolete - - unknown!” With terror and fear we glance from our programs to witness the reading of “The Murder Scene” from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” by Marie Nicholas who brought to life drastic characters in a tragedy. The Juggler of Torraine” by Edwin Markham is told to us by Raymond Newhard who takes us to a convent where the Juggler is lodged and fed. Now we find Mary Czerkas holding the attention of the audience by a sad but beautiful story, “Yellow Butterflies” by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews. Finally, laughrer rings throughout the auditorium as George Sieger tells us Mark Twain’s “How Tom Sawyer Whitewashed the Fence.” After the decision of the judges, Mr. Schaeffer presented the winners with their awards. The first two ten dollar prizes, donated by the Alumni Association, were awarded to Mary Czerkas and George Sieger. The second two prizes of five dollars, donated by Mr. Henry Mil ler and Mr .E.J. Royer were presented to Elizabeth Remmel and Raymond Newhard. THE ORCHESTRA WHAT is more important to our high school than its orchestra? We would be lost without its lively music when we pass to and from assembly. The orchestra willingly rendered its services during the school year at the operetta, the senior class play, the junior speaking contest, the annual Indianland commencement, graduation exercises, and finally, gave a concert on April 29. The concert consisted of these numbers: Overture; Light Cavalry.......Fr von Suppe Reverie; Beauty Spot... ... .Charles Arthur Columbia; Rollinson....................... ...............Cornet Solo, Robert Bennett Serenade; A Night in June ......K. L. King Recruits; From Southern Miniatures .T. Zamecnik Selection; The Bohemian Girl.....M. W. Balfe Thirty members belong to this organization which is capably directed by Mr. Harry New-hard who is ably assisted by our faculty advisor, Mr. Edwin J. Berg. Both Mr. Newhard and Mr. Berg are very well-known musicians throughout this vicinity. As usual, the orchestra will lose some of its members by graduation. This year the seniors are: Piano: Marjorie Santee. Marion Thomas; Violins: Michael Ohotski, Dorothy Medland, Arlene Danner; Clarinet: Eilus Haldeman, John Humenik; Cornet: George Kraftician. —Marjorie E. Santee 1 i i !

The Cement National Bank To the Graduates of the Class of 1936: You are about to attain the object of your labor in scholastic matters and receive a diploma, the written evidence of success, for many years of toil and patient effort. The time factor involved almost a third of the average life of Amercan citizenry. Henceforth, we hope most of you will be numbered among the employed and whatever fruits this employment brings must be given careful thought in its disposition, both for living and a basis of future betterment. Our advice is the homely phrase “Save for a rainy day.” The doorway to success is through a small savings account, started soon, and, if continued for as many years as you have spent in your school days, the amount accumulated at the end of such a time will be a surprise to you as a capitalistic amateur.

To these loyal, self-sacrificing friends we give our greatest, most sincere, most heart-felt Thank You. The greatest sacrifice was on the part of our able leader Mr. Alvin N. Fegely. To John Humenik, Stephen Demchyk, Dean Schadler, Franklin Huber, Richard Miller, and Metro Hvarda, we also owe a debt of gratitude. During the school year it seemed as if the whole school, including the faculty, was in back of our Amptennian and willing to sacrifice all that could be expected to make our’s the best Amptennian produced as yet. Most prominent of these kind souls were: Miss Kistler who saw that the book was grammatically correct. Miss Perry who saw that the book was artistically correct. Paul Nicholas, advertising manager, who saw that the book was financially correct. And to the Amptennian Staff who saw that the book was composed and assembled correctly. Before we close the last pages of this book, 1 wish to personally thank everyone who in the least way helped to make Our Book. —The Editor
