Days with her we’ll e’er remember, Though our lives be long, Here’s to her whose name we’ll ever Cherish in our song. GEORGE A. EICHLER, Ed. D. Superinte ndent HS YOU near the end of your high school course this question may come in your mind: What has high school given me? Have 1 got out of it a definite goal to aim at, a real standard of values, a healthy point of view toward life? To some graduates the completion of the course merely means the passing of the required number of tests, for which they receive a diploma. 1 sincerely hope you are not among these. Unless your course has given you a deeper insight into what is worthwhile and a desire to carry it into action for the benefit of your fellowmen the real purpose has been missed. You are now facing the world in a different sense than before. You must find your place, your calling. Whatever your calling, remember that the principle requirements for success are the old fashioned virtues of honesty, loyalty, willingness to accept responsibility, the virtues which our generation sometimes regards as out of date. It is my earnest hope that each one of you will find happiness and success in life. Sincerely yours, George A. Eichler, Superintendent IRA L. SMEAFFER, B.S., M.A. Principal OU will soon be turned out into the world to test your ability as a clear thinking citizen. You must find some way to make clear thinking the surest criterion of guiding you in the future. Knowledge is good and culture is good, but the highest excellence is the power to think straight and to the point, to think through and into and around a problem. The aim of education is to produce a man, master of himself, capable of initiating his own acts, and responsible for his own actions at all times. The real test of one’s education is not when he does something he has been specifically trained to do, but when he meets an unexpected situation. How will you handle it? This will be the test of your education. Ira L. Scheaffer, Principal . M BOOK TWO SSS3M w: ‘.wpiv:ytfx FACULTY nt Ik To the Class of 1938: Famous educators in this country unanimously agree that our public schools should make greater effort to train pupils for citizenship. True democracy can exist only where the people understand the democratic system, and where they willingly take an active part in improving the government. Your schools have attempted to prepare you for citizenship, and we now graduate you into a changing society where we hope that training will be used to the best advantage. It is our fond wish that the limited preparation you have received will inspire you to far greater study of your country. Democracy rests on your shoulders. — H. M. Tinkcom, A. B. Dear Friends: To grow up gracefully find romance a genuine living experience. Look upon yourself objectively, that is, take yourself never too seriously and think outside of yourself. Observe the pleasant and interesting things; this is a matter of choice, considering those things to enjoy that make you feel and think well. Then learn to do something for somebody else and give something for somebody else - this privilege along with your spiritual returns develop the man or woman in you. A simple plan, you say— a life full of blessing. —Arline Kistler, B. S. To the Class of 1938: As in the laboratory, all of you arc undertaking a great experiment. Every experiment has its collection of data, a definite object, some theory upon which it is based, and then follows a complete performance of the experiment to the best of our ability. In it we may obtain facts before obtained, or, we may come upon something new. It should never be a failure. Definite results will be attained from which we have definite conclusions to draw. Resolve to perform only the noblest of experiments to reach for new facts, so that the results will be worth while. —Alvin N. Fegely, B. S. Greetings and Congratulations to the Graduating Class of 1938: I have had many happy hours with members of this class, and my farewell message is to carry into business ideals of high think' ing and noble achieving. Fit yourself to take your place in the work of the world, and the scope of your usefulness will not be measured in dollars and cents, but in more complete living. Success to you. —Madoun Tucker, B.S. To the Graduating Class: I would at this time enjoin you to develop to the utmost your divine-given talents. Employ them to the fullest in behalf of the enjoyment of, and service to humanity. Doing thus and with a cheerful spirit throughout, I know that each and all of you will experience that which everyone desires and works for—Success. —Edwin J. Berg, A.B. Message to the Class of 1938: h umanity’s great problem is to assimilate the people of many nations. The difference between people is not race, color, or creed but in the way they think. Two classes may be realized-the moral and the unmoral. The moral class appreciates the opportunity life gives to extract beauty and happiness. They are grateful for the possibilities that life holds without envy for those who utilize possibilities. The unmoral class are egotists who take advantage of the weakness of their fellows, and resent making the most of life’s opportunities. Learn to know and appreciate hidden benefits in the beauty and happiness that even poverty and sorrow can bring, just as the flower seed knows and appreciates the oportunities for color and fragrance in dirt.” —Eleanor Roberts, M.A. To the Class of 1938: “At last I have come to Latium,” prayfully breathed Aeneas at the end of his protracted wanderings. Despite the gales and the calms, you, like Aeneas, hav� reached your Latium. There in the years to come, it lies in you to be an integral part of a great nation, a neighbor among neighbors, whose song may be, “I would look up - and laugh - and love - and lift!” May it fall your lot to make “Latium” conscious of vour presence and grate-ful for your having lived there. To each, hail and farewell! Salve et vale! — Marion L Laubach. A.B. To the Class of 1938: Time marches on. History is in the making. Consciously and unconsciously many have entered a mythical Hall of Fame. Have you? In your midst arc champions and near-champions who have emblazed their paths with victory and glory. They have conquered on the field of battle, in the class room and have conquered themselves. You too, have a task in life. Perhaps, not of becoming a champion, for we can’t all be top-notchers. Yours is a tssk of finding yourself, knowing yourself, and using yourself with the best of your ability, for true happiness lies in doing rhings and not watching some one else doing them. Don’t be satisfied waiting for a “break.” Strive for the best because—time marches on. —Michael Lisetski, B.S. To the Senior Class of 1938 Wont to Say “Farewell and Godspeed You are ready now to make decisions that may rule the rest of your life. It is my wish that you choose wisely. I am sure your school years have been happy and worthwhile ones and you have made lifetime friends. As the seasons pass and the years roll by, the time and change will show how firmly those friendships stand. Keep your real school spirit and face life with your chin up. May happiness be yours. —Margaret Reppert, B.S. MS N IA N To the Class of 1938: 1 take this means of wishing a grand group of boys and girls continued success in whatever place you may take in this world. Keep your chin up. Never quit. You have never known what it means to be beaten. I hope you will never find out. Hit hard, play fair, and obey the rules of the game of life. —Thomas W. Ronemus, B.S. To You, a Message of Good Luck: There is no problem, either within the home or outside that is more important than achieving right and happy human relationships. As boys and girls you have a part in the responsibility of maintaining happy family and social relationships. You should begin now, if you have not already done so, to live more harmo nously with other people, to make yourselves good friends, worthy home members, and desirable members of the community. —H. Seidel, B.S. To the Class of 1938: Graduation Day may mean the end of your days at school but not the end of your days of learning. Each day brings you in contact with new problems which you must solve as you think best. You have no answer book with which to compare your answer and the world will grade you on the answer you give. Competition will be greater than it was among your classmates but much greater will be the satisfaction of your success. Your returns will be in proportion to what you give so------ Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” —M. I. Hulsizer, B S. A M U I I- N N 1 To the Class of 1938: There are three processes to education to which, in your reg-ular class routine, you have unconsciously been subjected. These processes may also be applied to a more extensive field of en-deavor. The first of these processes was the presentation of the problem; that is, introducing you to a new situation, a new knowledge of things. The second was the application — putting into practical use the knowledge just given to you. The third, as you leave these portals, you must accomplish yourself. It is drill, daily practical usage of the knowledge gained in the first two processes. To accomplish this make common sense your guide and remember that the world does not come to you; you must go to it. —Thelma Santee, B.S. Seniors: You, the graduating class, are about ro take your place in the world of today. No matter where that niche you carve for yourself is, you are the one that put it there. We all hope it is in the House of Success. But remember: “There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done. There are thoc sands to prophesy failure: There are thousands to point out to you, one by one The dangers that waif to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, lust take off your coat and go to it; Just start to sing and you tackle the thing That “couldn’t be done,” and you’ll do it.” —R. C. Stewart, A.B. To the Class of 1938: It is your fortune to enter upon duties and encounter adversities the like of which you may never have dreamed. In whatever you make your destiny, you will find strewn across the way the pages of records left by man immortal. They are omnipresent. We can take them with us in our wanderings, or gather them around us at our firesides. In the lonely wilderness, and the crowded city, their spirit will be with us, giving a meaning to the seemingly confused movements of humanity, and peopling the desert with their own bright creations.” —Nelle Y. Fluck, B.S. To the class of 1938: Some of you may enter higher institutions of learning, if however you cannot afford further schooling, you can at small cost continue the improvement of your mind. You know that no one leaves the school educated. You may have learned what the values of educated people are. A certain writer stated that the world is divided into givers and takers. You know it is pleasanter as well as safer to be a giver. Education may not make you a creative person, as creativeness is a gift of the gods, but education gives you the power to appreciate creativeness. Find out what you want to do and start doing it. Somebody eventually may even pay you for it. —Clinton A. Bilheimer Congratulations, Seniors Greetings, and very best wishes for health, happiness, and success, and for a lifetime filled with usefulness. Always keep in mind that there is no substitute for hard work and perseverance. May each of you in such manner strive ceaselessly to attain his or her noble goal. —Harry R. Newhard 4 To the members of the class of igj8: I extend my heartiest congratulations. The youth of today may feel that the days of opportunity have vanished. A study of ancient, modern and even recent history disproves this. Men throughout the ages, no matter what the times, have gone ahead and made names for themselves. In later years may we see your names top the list of great men and women. —Lester Yeager AMPTirNN To the Seniors: The individual from all races of men seem to be traveling at different speeds on different roads. All mankind is on a quest tor individual and social happiness. What is happiness? Where can it he found? These questions are largely answered by the individual according to his philosophy of life. Happiness results from the feeling of being useful, worthwhile, and successful. It is the result of submitting oneself to a divine destiny and then doing one’s very best to attain the aims and purposes of the high- st levels of service to God, country, home and self. It is the sum total of work done. Having found a place in the world, the individual has, appreciatively accepted the heritage of the past and has faithfully done his part to improve it and pass the torch on to future generations brighter and better because of his life. —William Bennett, Ph.B. To the Class of 1938: He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of little children; who has fulfilled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it. whether by an improved poppy a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration, whose memory is a benediction.’’ May such success be yours. —Verna Dotter, B.S. To the Class of 1938: To the class of 1938, I give my most ardent thoughts and congratulations. You have won a high place in the records of graduating classes. You have gone a long way in keeping a well-rounded class together, not only athletically but academically as well. It is your high spirit and sense of fair play that has brought you this far; and if I am a judge, may I say that you have won more battles than you have lost. Beware of a let-down. Keep your spirit high and keep moving forward. You will find times when you will find the going rough; don’t give up, just smile and try a little harder. Always strive not only to keep a healthy mind and body, but balance them as well. Then and only then can you enjoy the fullest and happiest life. —J. E Ludwig, B.S. AMPTP-NNIAN To the Class of 1938: Many of you have spent your last days as students of North' ampton High School. You have acquired knowledge and developed your faculties to that point, where you are now able to make for a more successful life. Too often success is measured by money and fame. No true criteria of success are these, but they have been made to appear as such in the outside world. A man has led a truthfully successful life only, when he has received the most from life by making the best of it by putting the most into it. According to social law, each individual is en-titled to a wholesome life. If he reaches for more, he is likely to suffer remorse rather than enjoy the satisfaction of success. Our greatest assistance is to center our thoughts on the welfare of others. With this short message, I wish the class of 1938 all the success in the world. —Albert Erdosy, B.S. car young Women and Men of the Class of 1938: As a school nurse and social worker of our community, I come in contact with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations. May I ask that as you find your way among these people that you keep an open-mind toward changing needs; to help people understand the why and how” of things that must be done to maintain a community in healthful activities. For us to keep well and grow well we need everyone’s willingness to find out the reason for every painful cause and effect. We need to eliminate causespoint-ed out by persons in authority rather than take the opinionated sources of those who believe merely the hearing of “so and so.” Let us develop physical and mental healthful activity. — Miss Lottie Moyer To the Seniors of 1938: To develop a basis for understanding yourselves rather than actively relating what others have done is a problem every pupil must solve as he matures. Diligent service to one’s profession develops a faithfulness that leads man to head the rank and file of men. —Dr. Mahlon Miller a ass Poem AN at his birth is an earthen vase Solely composed of clay; In need of a baking, a glazing or two, For protection against life’s fray. Experience, the oven in which it is baked, Hardens and strengthens the man; Education, the glaze, the required touch, Decides where that vase will stand. The Potter’s wheel has but turned the Urn The glaze will determine its worth. Will it be placed at the top of the stairs Or remain where it was at its birth? Is it the glaze or just a false veneer True knowledge or only a bluff? Will the needed experience combined with glaze Prove to be sturdy enough? Like a potter’s oven, our High School stands To bake on the much needed glaze, The required touch on the earthen Urn Which we’ll carry the rest of our days; But at last the oven has opened her doors And now our glazing is through; We are baked and glazed and given the world To prove that the glazing is true. —William Schwartz RICHARD MILLER ALFRED LAUBACH OUice s the enicri Clan Richard Miller -Alfred Laubach Helen Molesky -Charlotte Moore HELEN MOLESKY - President - Vice President - - Secretary - Treasurer CHARLOTTE MOORE BETTY SMITH East Nineteenth Street One of the daintiest, precious little Misses” of our class is Betty, a natural leader with a pleasing personality. What shall we decide?” Let’s ask Betty” is the disposition of many of us who want to do whatever we do attractively. Her sweet voice and interesting gestures in an interpretation of‘‘China Blue Eyes will be remembered. As a member of various organizations she does things with a reserve, touched with a shyness that is winsome. Betty’s friendships result from living well with her associates and as she continues in her choice of work and play we hope her influence continues as an inspiration to all who know her.

CHARLES GRAVER Bath, Pa. Who is the smart, alive, mischievous lad from Bath? Without delay let us tell you that he is “Buddy,” the cultivated teaser of our senior class, who likes to prove his point. In regard to write-ups and repons Charles is dependable. With a sense of pride he attacks his work so thoroughly well, we imagine that he will prepare sermons worthy of a Sunday service when he becomes a minister. To overcome mere opinion for existing truth is a lesson he will learn in his service to the Christian world.

WILLIAM MUSICK Bath, Pa. Bill’s” voice, strong and vibrant, is heard during recitations in every class. Portraying a drunk” in the Junior Speaking Contest and a hale pnd generous old “uncle” in the Senior class play gave him an expression for his dramatic talents. His talk is about certain incidents happening in Bath, the town that sent us this short handsome fellow. His ambition is to become a physician. We believe that his quiet manner, his gentle touch in things, his smooth flow of words will dispel all of his patients’ worries. Then to prove lasting effect is his sympathy so necessary to the profession.

BEIL 2024 Washington Avenue Harold’s willingness to lerd a hand, and his seeming good nature while he is doing his work reveal excellent qualities of a growing young man who is thoughtful of other people. Quiet and conservative in his practices he has shown little interest in athletics or dramatics. Since he is quite skilful with his hands in electric, wood, or mechanical things, we imagine that he will t ngineer many a good project. Getting along well with people is his outstanding quality and to this enviable characteristic, we pay tribute. To this kind of a person best wishes come naturally. General Course. Student Council. ALTHEA BACHMAN 2305 Washington Avenue Gracious in manner is Althea, an attractive little lady who sings and dances well; studies with enthusiasm, sells to please customers; plays for exercise; works for power and ability. She is approachable, listens well and for that personal quality readily gets an audience. To be business-like is to know people, she would sav, if she would say it. Her good deeds outnumber her expression in words. She smiles pleasantly; she talks interestingly. Continuing friendships is one of her hobbies. Commercial Course.

RUTH CHRISTMAN 1442 Washington Avenue “Cnee in a while” as the popular song goes, you may see “Christy” with a look that is not altogether sad and sober. However enter any classroom, especially commercial arithmetic, and you will see her, the chummiest of friends in the building, giggling to her heart’s content. Brushing the edge of remarks with a little humor is the fun-making of this blonde, blue-eyed creature who stands high among her associates. With a great deal of interest in athletics, she was a successful player in basketball and volley ball, revealing a good sportsmanship that merits her success wherever she goes. Commercial Course.

LORETTA ECK 1225 Main Street In Loretta we find a pleasing personality and the character of friendliness which makes her a loyal friend to all with whom she associates. As an enthusiastic pupil of commercial subjects she has found a membership of the National Honor Society. Loyal to classmates and her work she succeeds in liking all the subjects in her course of study. To be a secretary, to put to use the things she has learned is her patent ambition. As an asset to her ability Loretta’s admirable daintiness and neatness go far toward her choice in the business world. Commercial Course. National Honor Society. The Count and the Coed.

Within nine years of membership he has succeeded in judging live stock that he is recognized throughout the State. General Course. RAY BRETZ 417 Ninth Street Yippee! Here he comes. No, we don’t mean Tom Mix; we mean Ray Bretz. Photography, model building of airplanes and drawing mountain scenery are some of his activities. Best known is he as an Eastern Cowboy, dressed in a sombrero, a western shirt, and all the necessary gadgets of cowboy life, impelsonating with a group that play hill-billy music. At Miliside Park East Greenville; Forrest Inn Park, the Legion Banquet at Palmerton, and a broadcast from station WEST, Easton, he has featured in programs with the group. With a host of activities from which to choose Ray will not be lonesome for something to do. General Course. LEONA RUTH DE1BERT 229 East 21st Street Light complexion, brown velvet hair.

RUSSELL DEMCHUK 170 West 16th Street Observe this classmate’s generous smile. Doesn’t it light up the intelligence of his face? His unassuming manner is captivating; his attitude serious; his willingness to learn, consciencious. Since he is always neat in appearance, we find him attractive. Russell’s determination is quiet and sincere—what he chooses to do he will succeed in doing well. Football, basketball, and baseball interest him but no more than his favorite subjects in classes. There has been a passing hint that he likes photography as a hobby. Is this true, Russell? Academic Course. Courier Staff, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Photography Club. WILLIAM MOYER 621 Washington Avenue Who is that tall handsome young man? Oh, yes, William the strong silent man with a winning sense of humor. Quietly he has moved about school, and shyly he has recognized certain advantages. It’s the formal business of it all that is annoying to William. Yet no one could tell from his admirable attentive qualities that anything could annoy him. To be popular is his last desire. Knowing what he wants, he calmly goes ahead—his own way. Aviation is his choice for service and study. Confident in the plans for his career, he proposes to learn all that he can to meet requirements. QeneraJ Course. BARBARA ANNE BILOVESKY 101 West 10th Street Although Barbara has exceedingly short legs, she has the ability to get to more places and into more things than you or I would expect from her appearance. Sooky has nor only taken part in some of the optional activities in the school, but has accomplished much in her studies. During the summer months swimming and diving, at which she has become quite an expert occupy most of her rime. Although she is uncertain as to what life work she will follow after leaving school, our class looks forward to Barbara’s success in whatever vocation strikes a responsive chord. Academic Course. Mixed Chorus. Glee Club, Amptennian Staff, Courier Staff. ALFRED W. HELL1E Northampton, Route 1 “AT is a pleasant fellow who knows how to entertain himself. Although he is studious at times, he is not beyond the enjoyment of mischief. Considering his oral reports in English, we might say that fishing, bobbing eels, is his main outdoor sport and interest. His indoor sport is collecting stamps. One thousand stamps are in his collection that has been started since his entering Senior High School. Although “Al” is undecided as to what his future career will be, he thinks it would be fun to be a merchant. General Course. Mixed Chtnus, Captain Crossbones. DANIEL BACHMAN Coolay, Route 1 A dark, tall, sturdy fellow is Dan” who is respectful to his classmates and teachers, who enjoys a hearty laugh at the right time, and who quietly furthers the interest of his class. Few students know Dan's ability for he appears to take life as it comes without being too worried about future days. At present we admire his skilfull turnings in woodwork. Some of the things he has made are candle holders out of cedar and walnut wood, a nut bowl of Philippine mahogany and poplar, a smoking stand out of gum, and a cookie jar out of gum and poplar. Academic Course. Science Club. DOROTHY LAUB 1448 Washington Avenue Northampton, Pa. In Dorothy we find a quiet, reserved girl who tries her best to be a true friend to all. Due to her ambition and interest in studies, she never comes to class unprepared for her tasks. Willing to be of help to her classmates, Dorothy has made many friends. Although not participating in many outside activities, Dorothy’s only interest lies in Intra-Mural Basketball with a good sportsmanship that dominates throughojt the season. We feel sure that hurried step and quick thinking constitute a capable “guard”. Dorothy’s aim will be found in nursing. Surely a nurse with as pleasant a personality as Dorothy's cannot possibly come to a foolish end. Academic Course. Intra-mural Basketball. LEON REIMER Bath, Pa. Sputter, sputter, sput, sput ! ! ! - -don’t be frightened it’s only “Harry” coming to town in his rattletrap or should 1 say his Limousine? Regardless of what it is. some of the students from Bath are very glad to have Leon bring them to school after they've missed the bus. How about it you ’’Bathires”? Another thing we’ll always remember about Leon is his blush. Believe me it’s the real thing. Seriously, Leon’s fine qualities of character service, personality, and intelligence have helped him make a large number of worthy friends at High School and will surely aid him in overcoming his ’’Waterloo”. Academic Course. Band, Orchestra, Intra-mural Sports, Printing Club. ALFRED PIERCE 1620 Lincoln Avenue, Northampton, Pa. Always smiling and ready to do his part, is one of Alfred’s characteristics. Being a care-free student although ranking high in scholastic ability, Alfred finds pleasure in taking part in the various activities about school. Intra-mural sports, operettas, and plays keep Alfred busy. He is one of the aggressive members of our class and always has something new to think about. His agreeable ability to mingle with both sexes reveals in him a wholesome disposition that is most likeable to rivone coming in contact with him. Academic Course.

MAE HELL1E Northampton, Route 1 Mae is one of the few girls found in the General Course surrounded by a large group of boys who like to tease her. However, Mae's good nature can take all the kidding that is handed her. Studying has given Mae a kind of independent grace so admirable to a growing young lady. Quiet in her manner, she makes quite a distinguished appearance among her many friends who realize that there is something strong, wholesome, and lovely about this beautiful girl. She likes languages and finds time to observe certain value points of grammar, music, and biological specimens. Qeneral Course. CLAYTON GROSS Chcrryville, Pennsylvania For three years Clayton attended Berlinsville High School where h enjoyed his course of study, the Hi-Y Club; extra work in General Science, and Mathematics. Then to get full credit, he came on to Northampton tor one year additional work. Rating high in effort and ability, he came to us well recommended. What an interesting classmate he is. Serious, eager to learn, tireless in his effort, he studies to correct and know. To study commerce and finance for business with South America and Europe is his desire. Quite accurate � n calculating advantages, he promises to know well what he is doing and let us hear from him. Academic Course. Hi-Y, Studenc Council, Science Club. Cleopatra's Half-Sister. CHARLES J. HEFFNER 1388 Reppert Row This short husky fellow is a popular fellow of the “Squad.” He did well as a quarterback in football. He merited success in basketball games. However his favorite sport is football. He calls it the most difficult physically, for in that game of football, you work the most for what you get. Learning to win and lose is the worthwhile training to be received. When a player fails, Charles thinks that he must find the reason, get in shape, and learn to think quickly. All subjects help a player to think quickly. Charles’ perseverance is most admirable. Qeneral Course. Baseball, Football, Basketball. ROBERT BENNETT 1750 Lincoln Avenue I now present to you a hit of the Senior Class—Robert Bennett. We have often heard Junior girls exclaim Oh, how gooddooking! And this photograph makes us feel that he is an answer to maiden’s prayer. A tall. light'Complexioned blond is he with dancing blue eyes that light up with mirth when interesting or pleasant things are mentioned. Lord over all is he in the print shop with the student authority of this will or will not” work on our press.

Markham said that the Norn Mother made a man to meet the mortal need but we feel that here a little” woman was made to meet the mortal need. Laughter was so mixed with the serious stuff in her, we know our interesting Peter. This jolly comedian—hailing from Bath—truly proves that personality and ability in studies go hand in hand. To come to school with all assignments completed seems to be the reason why Louise is so dependable, and why her name is always found on the Honor Roll. In three years at High School, Louise has made a fine record for herself in studies and activities. Academic Course.

Her winsome re, serve, her lovely smile, her charming spirit, her subtle understanding—are character traits that radiate her personality. To b “ prepared to meet adversity with a justice that offsets displeasure is her natural ability as a leader. She completes what she sets out to do and in this dependable manner accomplishes a great deal with little talk.

Your mem’ries so pleasant, The days we loved so well. Shall linger as we bid a sad farewell. Dear High School we leave you To go where duty calls, We always shall remember What was taught within your walls. As through life we journey New problems to await, We’ll ne’er forget what you have done For the Class of Thirty-Eight. —Elmyra Smith enicrt Class H'utcrl j BATE has turned the wheel of time swiftly and we, the class of ’38, find ourselves ready to become a real part of the outside world. With the helpful aid of our teachers we have tried to get the most from their teachings which, we know, will help us in our various paths of everyday life. As we pause to scan over our all-too-short a stay in High School, we find that amongst us we have classmates whose names will long be remembered for their accomplishments in the fields of sports, music, and dramatics. Sadly we bid farewell to the school within whose walls we have been trained thoroughly, only to be cast all too suddenly on our own where we may well prove our worth. Richard Miller eut win WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, realizing that we are neither mentally nor physically ill, have decided, after many pensive moments, to bestow our most highly prized and dearest pos sessions to the following whom we consider most deservant.

Section II To Anybody who likes to walk: Kenneth Dech’s rattletrap.” Section III To our “Gorgeous Ballroom: A no parking” sign for the benifit of the wallflowers.” Section IV To the Faculty: 1 To Coach Ludwig, athletes like those of ’38. 2 To Miss Kistler, a 1938 Plymouth. 3 To Mr. Tinkcom, the price of a marriage license. 4 To all faculty members, a “raise” or something. Thus giving these possessions to the donors with all the tenderness of heart, we ask only that you cherish them as we have. Signed: —Charlie McCarthy Glass Piopltecxj IGHT YEARS after graduation we were returning to Northampton for the house-warm ng party given for the new minister and his wife, the former Doris Winkle. On our way we encountered all kinds of cats; Persian cats, angora cats, just plain alley cats-following an experienced fisherman whom we recognized as Herman Fogle going to meet another great fisherman, James Sottolano. Hurrying on, we heard a boisterous giggle and turned around to see Ruth Chris'man, Arlene Kolumber, and Dorothy Sheckler descending the trolley car at the end of a day’s work at Leh’s. At the corner of nineteenth and Main Street an attractive window display caught our eyes; out of shezr curiosity we entered and were greeted by the proprietress, Pauline Weber and her staff of workers which included Violet Muth, Pearl Sepman as clerks; Stella Sedovy and Charlotte Moore as stenographers. Upon inquiry, we were informed that the artistic window display was under the supervision of Olive Milander and William Schwartz, commercial artists. Arriving at our destination, we saw a fellow’ iotting down some notes—to our surprise we found it was Joe Balinr, a reporter making use of his shorthand—while Louise Nicholas and Eugene Sheska dictated the story of the party. We were ushered into the house bv a distinguished looking butler whom we recognized as Andrew Kowalchuk. Other butlers of the house were Mike Fekety, Homer Kleckner. and Albert Scherer. We heard the strains of a popular melody played by an orchestra composed of nine members including: Retta Rehrig. Arlene Reimert, Ramond Miller, Willard Hock-man, Rav Bretz, Albert Wolf, Dean Schadler, and Kathleen Schadlet under rhe direction of Robert Bell, while Helen Molesky and Althea Bachman blended their voices (ver v good voices at that) with the orchestra. At one corner of rhe room sat Dr. Musick and his staff of nurses-the Misses Kleppinger Laubach, Snyder, Lentz, Smith, and Williamson. We were seated in the farthest corner, when the head butler announced the distingushed ambassador to Chile — our former classmate Alfred Pierce. We later learned that his personal secretary was Anna Subits (she’s still attractive). Last but not least, the Athletic Club entered led by our favorite Coach, Pete Schneider. The Club was composed of Paul Onkotz, Lewis Skok, Steve Pritko, Charles Heffner, Mike Hrinda, and Alleck Schur. These former high school athletes have continued far in professional ranks. Then for refreshments, that were prepared by the able dieticians, namely: Virginia Kline, Leona Ruth Diebert, and Be'ty Smith. They were delicious as well as attractive —we mean the refreshments. Oho! there is a bandage on Miss Kline’s finger; we later learned that she had burned her finger and Dr. Musick had administered first aid. (He always did like to hold hands.] Everyone was talking; the room was buzzing with conversation; yet in a second the room was quiet and the band started to play while a graceful figure appeared and danced the rhumba with great skill. Who could this dancer be? She looked familiar. Later, our hostess, Doris Winkle, explained that she was Sophia Kraftician, a former classmate, better known as “Fifi.” Since our reunion gave us the longed-for privilege of seeing and visiting with each other again and time was hastening for us to say “Goodbye”, together we read the class poem as written by William Schwartz, and sang our class song written by Elmyra Smith.

Dear Alma Mater, we’ll n’er forget you. —Leona Ruth Deibert at umni Reoiew Be not impatient in delay, But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands The gods are ready to obey. —James Alien Greetings to the Class of 1938: “Achievement, of whatever kind, is the crown of effort, the diadem of thought.” With this thought in mind, comes the sincere welcome from the hearts of all alumni members, who extend to you their heartiest congratulations and best wishes on one of the greatest achievements in your life—your high school graduation. For many of you, graduation will mark the occasion when you will go directly out into the world to put into practice your treasured knowledge, and in that way find the key to help you meet its complexities and challenges. For others, it means one step in the direction toward securing a higher education with which they hope to better prepare themselves to meet life’s daily problems. Together with learning the fundamentals of knowledge and the opportunities to participate in school activities, have come years of friendships along with days of joy and times of disappointments. All these things have been woven into a pattern of sacred memories which will probably cause you to feel a keen sense of regret upon leaving the portals of your dear Alma Mater. However, now being one of us, we invite you to become an active member of the Alumni Association, and in this way keep alive the memories of your cherished high school days, and also help to further the interests of the organization. And so as we sing the ne’er forgotten words— Loyal to our Alma Mater, Ever we’ll remain. may we, as an organization keep in mind our vow to the Black and Orange and strive to make every year one of greater achievements. “He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” —Lillian Bartholomew Recording Secretary Gutc aphs fiumoi ’’Show me at what a man laughs, And maybe I’ll laugh too. —Editor This is a cross section of the humor and comical sayings made by our classmates and friends.

Among our classmates we have many students who have made our past year a promising example of what we hope to accomplish as seniors. Our first bow to the Senior High School, which marked us as a part of the school, was our Junior Speaking Contest closely followed by a successful Junior dance—the Junior Collegiate Swing. Since then our talents have spaced out until our classmates cover all the extra-curricular activities our school offers. We have chosen, during the year, the fitting class motto, Upward and Onward to furnish the spiritual thought necessary to become successful seniors after a Junior year of real sport and fellowship. — David Schaffer, President flunicrl Cl ass OFFICERS David Schaffer - - President William Gunther Vice-President Joe Piervallo • Secretary Howard Jones - ' Treasurer CLASS ROLL Andews, Ernesr Fogel, Theodore Leibenguth, Minerva Schaeffer, Althea Andrews, Granville Frack, Luther Leibenspergcr, Donald Schaffer, David Andrews, June Frederick, Jovce Lcindeckct, Charlotte Scheetz, Robert Astvl, Kathryn Frese, Kenneth Lelko, John Schoenenberger, Virginia Bartholemew, Beatrice Fries, Charles Lerch, Alice Sieger, Robert Beers, Harriet Fry, Ma guerite Lerch, Elsie Sharkazy, George Behringer, George Gavura, Albert Lerch, John Schiffer, Alvin Beil, John Geary, Albert Longenbach, Merion Shinsky, Joseph Benetsky, Mike Geosits, John Marsh, Edith Sickonic, Mike Bieak, Sophia Gorsley, Eugene Mathern, Martha Smith, Charlotte Bogden, Arthur Gunther, William Meixsell, Rollon Smith, Dora Borek, Wassyl Hahn.

Some came with 1 trumpets blaring, colors flying, trying to attract all the at-tendon possible. Others came meekly, steering shy of the pedagogues who, they thought, must surely be about the most belligerent type of people existing in civilization, but when they were known, they were the kindest, most considerate, and most willing helpers to one “in a jam.” Then soon everything quieted down, the pupils found their respective positions in homerooms and classes, that is most of them did. Of course those frivolous kind of “children” who still had too much pep for their own good and those who came to school because the law required it, or to have a good time — all showed itself in the report cards the first six weeks. Then there were quiet pupils who proved that all silence does not mean stupidity. From our Sophomore class cair.e hopes to keep the school colors flying at least, some of our athletes: namely, Mike Wenglasz, who as a freshman proved his ability as an all-round athlete; Morris Smith, Paul Strohl, Joe Shina, Michael Bolesky, and others who deserve credit. Without the cooperation of all players none could be successful. Then there are promises of ability in music and dramatics. In a general review our class has the possibilities of becoming one of the best classes our high school has ever produced. Before long we shall be Juniors, then Seniors. After that.7— we know not. Yet when we will become seniors we can set a higher standard of living, show good traits and qualities, and live our motto truly, Do good, be good, make good.” — Vernon Person, President (yOpllOMCrte Class OFFICERS Vernon Person • President Elizabeth Subits - - Vice-President Elizabeth Miklus - Secretary Jeanne Newhard - Treasurer CLASS ROLL Abelovsky, Joseph Han'o, Stephen Lorencz, Mary Reinert, Carl Anderson, Robert Heiney, Irene Lutterschmidt, Theresa Rice, Beatrice Anthony, Renia Helko, Ben Lynn, Betty Rice, Irene Bachman, El wood Helko, Mary Lerch, Marian Rinker, Carl Bachman, Euna Hendrisevits, Longenbach, Robert Rupp, Constance Bachman, Paul Herman, Hilda Manley, Jean Sagmeister, Joseph Bahniuk, Volademar Hess, Althea Magecky, Andrew Scheirer, Eleanor Balint, Irene Horvath, Mike Mai kits, Joesph Schock, Mary Bamford, Althea Houston, Alice Marakovitz.

Only two lettermen had been lost through graduation the previous year. It was but a matter of a few weeks until this assembly of veteran players was fit for the actual test, to defeat Pen Argyl High School. Although a bit rugged due to lack of activity, our squad easily triumphed 33 to 6 on our newly dedicated $40,000 athletic field. In the next game Emaus High School was the victim. This 44 to 6 score showed a better improvement for our Alma Mater. The following week, Northampton traveled to Whitehall to return victorious. The 32 to 7 score showed this to be our hardest fought contest. Then came the score marveled at by all. Slatington was deeply humiliated 86 to 0. Palmerton was next in line 75 to 0. Defeating the weak Lehighton team on our new gridiron was a simple matter. They fell before our powerful grid machine by a 48 to 0 score. Our old rival, Nazareth High School, now appeared. Although not a league game, Nazareth bowed to the Konkrete Kids for the second consecutive year by a 42 to 0 score. Stroudsburg, held scoreless in the annual game with Northampton, contributed 72 points to the total of 518 acquired in the nine games played during the latter's football season. In the entire football season only 25 points were scored against the Konkrete Kids. Due to highly existing rivalry Turkey Day” brought the biggest test of all. Catasauqua High School received the worst defeat ever administered by either High School. The score was recorded as 85 to 0. With the Thanksgiving Day game, the greatest football team ever assembled at Northampton High School was gone but not forgotten. PERSONALS The brains of the squad can be found in each of three brilliant quarterbacks; James Sottolano, who is noted for his excellent blocking; Walter Zirinsky, who succeeds in breaking away for long runs every game and is rated an “A student; and Frank Laky, who has proved that size has nothing to do with the making of a first-class football player. The other backfield positions are well represented with Louis Skok, 178 pounds of concentrated dynamite, at the fullback position, Alex Schur and Charles Heffner, both of whom are exceptional ball handlers and ex- FOOTBALL (Continued) cellent blockers, alternating at left halfback, and Paul Onkotz, an especially accurate passer, at the other halfback position. The backbone of the first string is found to be John Chernansky and of the second string, John Drabik. Both are excellent players. Robert Burkhardt, an outstanding plugger from Treichlers, shares honors with William Evans as guard. However, one cannot forget the brilliant playing of Andrew Kometicat this position. Evans has yet another year. At tackle position we find three men of equal ability. John Yankovits, the captain who led his boys through a successful season, Daniel Newhard, and Paul Leibensberger. Four brilliant players make competition for honors at the end positions hard. However, Peter Schneider, six feet four in. tall, and one hundred ninety-four pounds, was seen to hold the left end and George Gilli, six feet two in. tall, and one hundred ninety-one pounds, the right end. Mike Hrinda and Steve Pritko also saw active service. Although Coach Ludwig loses his entire first two squads though graduation this year, an excellent squad of substitutes are experienced enough to do nobly for their Alma Mater next year. —Charles Graver LEHIGH VALLEY CHAMPIONS 'W Second Since 1921 ?asketl)all 1937-3 UNDEFEATED IN LEAGUE Second time to reach District Eleven in History of Northampton High School Boys’ I?a keiiall AS DEFENDING CHAMPIONS of the Lehigh Valley L:ague and Dist. Eleven, our basketball team went to work with a squad of huskies eager to better their achievements of the previous year. With such experienced boys as Hrinda, Schneider, Onkotz, Zirinsky, Chernansky, Heffner, Skok, Gilli, Schur, and Pritko, our outlook was exceptionally good. With colors sailing high they triumphantly dominated the Lehigh Valley League and became the first undefeated Northampton team. Unfortunately the team tell short in the run for State Championship title. After reaching District final game by defeating South Whitehall High School and McAdoo, we were eliminated by the State Championship team of Hazleton. Guided by their able leader, Coach Ludwig, former University ct Pennsylvania Basketteer, and his assistant, “Albie” Lerch, East Stroudsburg, Coach of Jay-Vees, the team displayed true sportsmanship, playing hard, fair, clean, spirited games. Considering the Konkrete Kids” as individual players, no one was outstanding; their strength lay in their unified and concentrated power of team work. During Woody’s” administration, the basketball teams have won state wide if not nation wide attention. Twice they fell short for their League championship. Last year, after capturing their League title, they continued and were the first Northampton team to conquer the District Eleven crown. In the same stride this year they are the first “Undefeated” team of Northampton to ever reach the Lehigh Valley League Championship. Paul Onkotz, who with speed, eagle eye, and good muscle control, scored many an important point. Dangerous because of his foot cutting and scoring ability on the offense and by his qualified guarding on the defense proved himself worthy at the forward position. Mike Hrinda, occupied the other forward position. His faking, quick cutting, accurate shooting, high scoring ability, and quick thinking, entitled him to be the live-wire, Captain, of the team. As head of the team he ably captained them throughout the season. Pete Schneider, a six foot four man was the center. Offensive work as well as defensive work were well displayed by this small giant. Boys Basketball (Continued) With the elimination of the “tap” center jump the team suffered triumphantly to which Pete” was specially adapted. “Lotty” Zirinsky, a fast cutting and good guarding guard, exhibited his worthiness to the team. Dead-shot as he was, he was however, on the system used by “Coach” Ludwig, in the back-court. Real trickery with a ruffing was his style of playing. “Gin” Chemansky was the other guard and guard he did. Quick on his feet as well as with his eyes and hands he would often steal the ball from the opponent to bust up their offense. Often he would bteak through to register two points for our side. “Steve” Pritko graduated from the Jay-Vees of last year. He really was a good guard when he replaced “Pete” at the center position and scored many a point. Toward the end of the season he saw service at the forward position. Louis Skoke a dangerous man who, with the ball, often broke through to raise the score for our side. He had fight, and fight he did for possession of the ball. His guarding also had to be noted. Stealing the ball was pastime for him. Hecky” Gillie, a six foot three man who either performed at center position or guarded with ability at the guard position. His spirit and willingness to work with his team-mates made him well liked by all who saw him in action. Alex Shur, who tor the service he did see in the games proved to the satisfaction of all his good guarding. A veteran in N. H. S. basketball, he displayed the spirit and success any basketball player should possess to participate in this sport. “D. D. S.” Heffner was the shiftiest little guard the ream had. He really was handling that ball and his ability of making two-pointers from any angle, any way, any time made him a favorite on the club. Dribbling was no task for him. Mike Wenglasz another graduate of the Jay-Vees of last year, performed u'ith satisfaction to all. He displayed good guarding and was a dead shot. During the latter part of the season he was affected with an acute case of appendicitis. “Bill” Evans a short and stocky forward who proved that site does not make the player, took to basketball seriously. Part of his service was also spent at the guard position, w'here he performed to the best of his ability. Student Managers for season were: James Sottalano and Fran’.; S. Laky. - Frank S.

After leading, the cheering stands in another tribute to our gladiators in the stadium; the cheerleaders take their places on the sidelines ro await their next call to duty, meanwhile, closely following the field. At the beginning of the school year Miss Dotter, the new cheerleading coach, renamed the entire squad of cheerleaders. Two senior boys. Richard Miller and Alfred Pierce, were chosen as well as a junior, Thelma Herman, and a sophomore. Mary Laubach. In the midyear a change was again made; this time the boys were dropped and two sophomore girls entered the scene. They were Marjorie Miller and Patricia Sottolana. This squad finished the year in fine style. Cheering this year was a vast improvement over last year with new yells and cheerleaders. On. . . On. .

Under the leadership of Coach Lerch some boys have become vety aggressive players both defensively and offensively. The reason for having a very successful season is that Coach Lerch and the players cooperated in fine team work. Coach Lerch, who combined humor with seru usness, moulded together a combination that proved to be one of the strongest of J. V., teams in the valley. Since practically every member of the J. V. team will become a member of the varsity next year, there are strorg indications that they will continue to gain further laurels that have been so renarkably done by our graduating varsity team. The players, comprising the J. V. team are Jacoby, Budnick, Filipovitz, Smith, Strohl, Sakovitz, Shina, Sharkazy, Paul, Farkiss, and Chimarys. —Donald Leibensperger The Cjills' Gthletic Gssociaticn XY HEN Girls’ Varitsy Basketball was suspended, the ” girl athletes of the High School for one year had no outstanding organization of their own. However, during this time they participated in intramural sports and received points for their standing in school athletics. At the beginning of the ’37-’38 school term the sixteen girls, with the highest rating, organized what they chose to call a Girls’ Athletic Association.” The following officers were elected: President - Ruth Christman Vice President—Leona Ruth Deibert Secretary-Treasurer—Althea Bachman The purpose of the club is to assist in intramural sports for girls, to gain a knowledge of more leisure time activities, to provide dancers for school activities, to visualize worthwhile actors, dancers, musicians, and famous artists. Throughout the year the girls enjoyed bowling rollerskating, basketball, ice-skating, ping-pong, baseball, and volley ball in their season. With the coming of graduation the club will lose nine members; the vacancies will be filled with girls whose athletic score is next in order. May this new organization continue to progress. —Leona Ruth Deibert ?aselyall OUR team has just contributed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school, under the guiding hand of Coach Mickey” Lisetski who has seen baseball rise up to the top in the few years.

Now we realize that all we have done has not been done in vain. The main purpose of the Amptennian is to introduce to you the members of the graduating class, to let you know some of the things they have been doing, and to see what has been accomplished in our high school this year of 1938. Those to whom special credit is due are the faculty advisors. Miss Arline Kistler, who accumulated, selected, and corrected material, and Mr. Alvin Fegely who arranged and printed material on one small press that does all the printing of materials for the school system and administration; then to our editor-in-chief, Betty Smith, who made assignments and acted as the go-between, between the writing and the printing of the book. These leaders with strategy, willingness, and dependability served as our scribes. Believing that we have duly responded to the challenge from the class of ’37, we say, More power to you, the class of ’39, in issuing your Amptennian.” —Virginia Kline —- {'yenio’i Clan Pla f LEOPATRA’S HALF SISTER, a farce in three acts, was presented to an appreciative audience, February 3. The scene opens in the Denker’s apartment with Mrs. Denker wondering what she can do about her dinner party since her cook walked out. To help her in this dilemma, Angela and Bob arrive at the propitious moment. In the meantime Jerry, a young traveler, dressed like a stewardess arrives and tells about his experience in Egypt. The most important phase of the story is that a mummy has been following him since he has visited the tomb of Cleopatra. What annoys him most is that Lila Mclntrye, his sweetheart, saw the Egyptian hussy kiss him and now she is angry with him. More hilarious and complex the situation becomes when hammers are found in the living room and door keys are lost. Then the versatile Jerry, imitating Mrs. Dodge Potter, a gay divorcee, comes in to clear up the trouble. Knowing that the 'rug of truth’ will eventually discover the relationship of all people concerned, Jerry requests that Lila appear on the rug. Her confession clears up all doubts and everyone leaves happy with the outcome. The characters were played by the following: Jerry, Richard Miller; Lila, Lorraine Kleppinger; Angela, Mildred Roth; Bob Mills, Charles Graver; Tom Denker, Alfred Pierce; Elaine, Virginia Kline; Alfonse, Andrew Kowalchuck; Mrs. Reese, Louise Harding; Mr. Denker, William Musick; BingDixon, Clayton Gross; Liz, Sophia Kraftician; Eloise, Jean O’Neil. ain Clash ones HE lights are dimmed, the audience is hushed, the curtains part to reveal a garden scene in the romantic old city of Havana, Cuba. Theresa, a young Spanish girl, who is in love with Richard Stonybrooke, a penniless young American, has been ordered by her father, DonCubeb. never to see him again. Miss Pelling, a female tutor, has been I ired to instruct and chaperon Theresa and her American friend, Eleanor. Captain Bombastio. in love with Eleanor and a friend of Theresa manages to bring Theresa a message from Richard. Richard hires Bill Pilgrim, a retired pugilist to start a pirate band. Richard plans as Ciptain Crossbones” to kidnap Theresa and marry her. In accordance with his message Richard manages to meet Theresa alone and tells her his plans and of his pirate band. That evening when Don Cubeb, his relatives, servants, Eleanor, Miss Pelling, and Theresa are in the garden, they are surprised by the pirate band led by Captain Crossbones (Richard in disguise) and his lieutenant, Bill Pilgrim. They kidnap the three girls. Miss Pelling, Eleanor, and Theresa and the first act ends. The second act takes place at the pirate lair on a beautiful island. The pirates are restless and want action, but Captain Crossbones, Bill Pilgrim and their lawyer, Anthony Law who advises them on all matters, manage to quiet them. Don Cubeb and his wife are summoned to the island by a ransom note. Dona Isbella, while on the island goes into a cave and discovers Theresa, Miss Pelling, and Eleanor. Theresa sends the two girls and her mother to the hotel but remains herself to consult Richard, who enters and tells her to go with her mother. Richard removes his disguise and goes to Don Cubeb, who is surprised at finding him here; he offers to rescue Theresa if as a reward he will receive her hand in marriage. After thinking the matter over Don Cubeb consents to the plan. Richard goes back and disbands the pirate crew. He brings Theresa to her father and pronounces Captain Crossbones dead. Captain Bombastio. of the Island Police, enters searching for the pirates. Upon finding them “dead” he is consoled by Eleanor who agrees to marry him. Miss Pelling accepts Bill Pilgrim’s offer of marriage and the curtain falls on the three happy couples and their friends. The cast was as follows: Theresa, a Spanish Girl, Helen Molesky; Eleanor, an American Heiress. Leona Ruth Deibert: Richard Stonybrooke, a penniless American, Richard Miller; Don Cubeb, a Spanish Don, Alfred Pierce; Dona Isbella, his wife, Goldie Kern; Miss Pelling, a female tutor, Althea Bachman; Captain Bombastio, Head of Island Police, William Koren; Bill Pilgrim, a retired pugilist, Arthur Bogden; Anthony Law, a lawyer, Walter Saylor; Kitty, Island Postmistress, Charlotte Smith; Zim, Island Police, Vernon Pearson; Zam, Island Police, Harry Kowalchuk. fianc) HIS organized group of players has proved to be one of the best in school. Composed of about forty-five members, including both Junior and Senior High School students, this band provided entertainment, with and without uniforms, and spirit at the athletic games. Mr. Newhard, our director, and Mr. Berg, our assistant director, have been fortunate in having an experienced battery or drum section. This noise making department has provided fullness and quality to the band. Much to our regret for high school performance, this entire battery will be graduated from school band work yet we are certain that they will succeed and produce volume and noise in other organizations. There will be no Louis Armstrong style of playing since Bobby Bennett and his cohorts will also leave us this year. However a future gain in Jimmy Meighan will take up the “beef’ blowing part of the trumpet section. His assistants will also give him valuable support. The trombone section, as well as the woodwind and bass sections will remain intact for another year, and around these sections the new band will be built. Although we will miss “Ace” Reimer and his trombone, and “Simp” Spangler, the other “hambcner,” their places will be ably filled by incoming members. The mainstay is still with them in Albert Geary, the future Tommy Dorsey of orchestra fame. With this nucleus the band will continue to make progress and retain its high standing in High School. —William Laubach Olcltestia THE Mast • f Trumpets, the squeak of a clarinet, the bass tone of a trombone, the knocking of drums, —oh,yes, the orchestra is practicing in its Benny Goodman style. Under the baton of Mr. Newhard and Mr. Berg, the orchestra has had a very successful season. Many assembly periods were pepped up by the smooth rhythm of the future artists. The orchestra also played f. r the plays given during the course of the year. The personnel of the orchestra includes many seniors, who have played in the orchestra for three years. In Robert Bennett, we have a future Louis Armstrong, and in Albert Geary another Tommy Dorsey. Of course we must not forget our talented drummer, Dean Schadler, who aspires to be a drummer in Benny Goodman’s orchestra although the majority of us are skeptical. The rest of the members make up a well-balanced orchestra which includes the following six' teen members: Robert Bennett, Jimmy Meighan, William Laubach, Alfred Laubach, Albert Geary, Arthur Bogden, Retra Rehrig, Joe Piervallo, Albert Wolfe, Stephan Lahovski, Dean Schadler. Through the guidance of Mr. Newhard and Mr. Berg, we feel that we have gained not only in ability, but have acquired a higher sense of values, spiritually, and mentally, that will enable us to meet the many problems of life successfully. —Alfred Laubach 'The Club TO CREATE, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character is the aim of all the members of this club. During the past school term this club has been very active. Taking part in chapel programs and sponsoring school dances were our main activities. Two of the chapel programs we sponsored included Mr. W. Haines Kent, Secretary of the Central - East Division of the Y. M. C. A. who talked on Hi-Y Clubs”, and Reverend Mr. Thomas Brendle of the Reformed Church of Egypt who presented the Easter message. Selling candy was a cooperative successful club project at about Easter rime. Serving visiting students during the Forensic contests was tun. Each month a meeting was held at different churches of the community where speakers and club members entertained. As a climax to our activities, the club held a Dinner-Dance in May, Friday the thirteenth, which was our lucky day. Thirty-seven attended and all had an enjoyable time. The officers ofrhe Ht-Y Club for the year of 1938 were: Advisor, Mr. Robert Stewart; President, Richard Miller; Vice President, Robert Bel!; Secretary, Alfred Laubach and Treasurer, William Laubach. There were eighteen active members in the club during the year, and we hope that the membership will continue to hold the purpose of the club. qid r eseWes Gracious in manner, Impartial in judgment. Ready for service, Loyal to friends. Reaching toward the best, Earnest in purpose, Seeing the beautiful. Eager tor knowledge, Reverent to God, Victorious over self, Ever dependable, Sincere at all times. With this as our code all twenty-eight members try to do their best service for the school and those individuals who need help. Each succeeding year the Girl Reserves have made it a better year than the previous one. Under the able and devoted direction of our faculty advisor, Miss Kistler, we have enjoyed many occasions of service and social entertainment. Some memorable activities are: the outdoor ceremonial; our Christmas Play, “Mimi Lights the Candle, the Mother and Daughter Tea, and the May Day Breakfast. In the meantime we alternated dances with our complementary club, the Hi-Y. Supplementing our school meeting are our monthly meetings that are delightful and profitable since both old and new business is developed. At one of our meetings this year we conducted a shower for Miss Stoneburner who had become Mrs. Santee. The officers of our club this year are: President, Virginia Kline; Vice-President, Mildred Roth; Secretary, Betty Smith; Treasurer, Irene Biery; Custodian, Elmyra Smith. —Mildred Roth HESE Seventeen Students of the largest class in the history of the Northampton High School, the class of 1938, are the members of the National Honor Society. They have attained the highest possible honors of High School work. The National Honor Society is composed of fifteen per cent of the graduating class chosen from the upper third by a group of faculty members who dwell upon Scolarship, Service, Leadership, and Character for their choice. The duties of the members as leaders of their class are to aid and serve fellow classmates in any way they see fit. In this manner both Society members and their classmates are benefited; the members by way of leadership and experience, and their classmates bv way of knowledge gained. Our supervisor and advisor, Mr. Sheaffer, has given us invaluable aid and advice during the year which has helped us to successfully complete our mission. To him we are very grateful. I am confident that the National Honor Society members of the class of 1938 will go forth into the world and lend their character and leadership to the betterment of humanity. The members of the National Honor Society are: William Laubach, Charles Graver, Betty Smith, Virginia Kline, Louise Harding, Irma Schock, Marguerite Stash irsky, Helen Molesky, Alfred Pierce, Loretta Eck, Charlotte Moore, Leona Ruth Deibert, Althea Bachman, William Musick, Richard Miller, Alfred Laubach, Robert Bennett. - Robert Bennett Qills Cjlee Club THE GIRL’S GLEE CLUB, supervised by Mrs San-tee, has taken part in a very interesting chapel program of American Folk Songs.

The members are Charlotte Smith, soprano; Goldie Kern, alto; Alfred Hellie, tenor; and Alvin Schiffer, bass; all together a music team of harmony and melody. This year, our quartet won the district contest against stiff competition.

The group left Thursday, April 28. shortly after noon and arrived in Grove City the following day, Friday about ten in the morning. Upon arrival we registered in our respective events, and made reservations for our meals and lodging after which we took in the contests. The contests taken in by our group were: Class B bands; Class A orchestras; Class B choruses; Trumpet and trombone solos; three to five ensembles; and mixed vocal quartets. From the contests we heard we were given emphatic points to develop our school’s interest in its musical standing. After traveling about six hundred and seventy miles, we brought home the following prizes —the best we were able to do for this time: Robert Bennett, ninth place; Albert Geary, third place; and Mixed Quartet, eighth place. —Albert Geary fluniol ypeakinj Contest ELOQUENCE-the keynote of a genuine forensic contest was instituted in the presentation of the twelfth annual contest in the High School auditorium on the evening of February seventeenth.

On the twenty-second of April the Courier Staff edited a miniature newspaper found in that edition of the Allentown Chronicle and News. The staff looks upon this as its greatest achievement with out considering the plersuie ft und in serving their Alma Mater. Another achievement worthy of discussion was the introduction of a serial in weekly comic strips. This is a hard feat to accomplish on a mimeographed paper.
