EICHLER, Ed. D. Superintendent To the Class of 1939: OU, the members of the Class of 1939, are about to leave the sheltered harbor of school life and launch into the turbulent sea of life. What a turbulent sea it is! During the period of your high school life great social, economic and political changes have been taking place. So rapid and far-reaching have these changes been that many people have found it difficult to keep their thoughts and actions on an even keel. ¥ Especially disturbing is the threat of another great war. The very foundations of democracy are being challenged by dictator controlled states. Within our own borders subversive influences are at work which are not in accord with the American way of life. The need for straight thinking, courageous citizens, has never been greater. It is to be hoped that the training which you have received in high school may help you be the kind of citizens which th'S age demands. The challenge for service to community, state, and nation has never been greater. We sincerely hope that your actions in the future will justify our present faith in each one of you. Sincerely yours, G. A. Eichler, Superintendent IRA L. SHEAFFER, B.S., M.A. Principal To the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-nine: © |HE choice of a life work is one of the most important decisions that a high school graduate is ever called upon to make. It determines the main scope of his service, the degree of his success, and the extent of his happiness. Both the opportunities and the obligations of youth in the increasingly complex society of our day are many and varied. You must, as a consequence, not only discover, but you must assume wisely and well its share in the world’s work, if the future of our citizenship is to remain secure. Instead of holding out to you the challenge of service in conspicuous places and in connection with vital world problems, I am saying to you as I am saying to myself, let us highly resolve to be the masters of our own souls and to make our inner life and its outward manifestation a positive influence for good in the world. In this way, if we have access to those hidden sources of power that earnest seeking and right living will make available to us, we shall make the most of our lives whether they are lived in places high or low. Let us remember, that education is one continuing process from infancy to the end or the fullfillment of life and that these artificial stoppings called commencement with their diplomas, caps, and gowns do not suggest a completion of what should be a life-long expierience. Sincerely yours, —I. L. Sheaffer, Principal GUa TUaUt Honor to the Black and Orange! Sing the glad retrain. Loyal to our Alma Mater, Ever we’ll remain. Alma Mater! Alma Mater! All our vows renew, Hail to thee, Northampton High School, We will all be true. Days with her we’ll e’er remember Though our lives be long, Here’s to her whose name we’ll ever Cherish in our song. PRESENTING THE FACULTY 1939 To the Class of 1939: Our lives may easily be compared to an engine with its auxiliaries. We need a boiler, an engine, and some work to be done. During your school days you are firing the boiler, working up steam with a good grade of fuel. You are the engine ready to do some useful work. At commencement you are turning on the steam and perhaps continuing to fire the boiler. This engine should never run idle for this represents wasted energy. Try to keep your efficiency high. You must continue to supply good fuel if you expect this engine to continue to do useful work. —Alvin N. Fegely To the Class of 1939: To you of the graduating class, congratulations are due. You have finally reached that goal that took twelve years to complete. Now the critical transitionary period is here. The time has come when you must take your place in society, competing with all types of men. It is our hope that the social, economic, and political background you have gained in education will aid you in coping with the situation. The problems of education have been successfully worked out: do the same with the problems of life. —Robert C. Stewart AMPTENNIAN 939 To the Class of 1939: It is not how pretty your dress or suit is, but how well or beau tiful you make that dress or suit look that is th compliment tor you in your choice of dress. To receive this compliment you must know for dress suitability to yourself and to use. Application of this principle of harmony involves beauty in color and design, genuineness, as against imitation, and honesty and sin cerity in dress as the outward expressions of an ethical standard. Understanding the relation of personality to clothes in order to appear well dressed, we must know the many possible adaptations of a style to make the right selection. —Eleanor Roberts To the Qraduating Class of 1939: As one goes through life, wiser from experience, so each graduate will go out into varied fields of life, reap the full value of a high school education and thus be guided to a happy and successful career. I have the pleasure of keeping in contact with former graduates who relate their interesting experiences in the business world, so I know there is a place waiting for you. Your goal can be reached easier by high ideals, constant study and stick-to-it-ive-ness. Congratulations and my best wishes to you. —Madolin Tucker mm AMPTENNIAN 1939 To the Class of 1939: We are frightfully materialistic, you and I. The present day and age imposes that blight upon us, if blight it be. Despite our knowing that we can repay the world not in money, not in land, not in food, not in fire, we continue in our materialistic way. We owe man greater tributes thnn these. We owe to man, man . . . I trust that this class will find in its power a way to pay its debt nobly and generously. —Marion I. Laubach To the Class of 1939: Our ancestors of long ago were once pioneers, exploring and conquering new fields and frontiers. Magnificent opportunities were thus opened to them, but only after they had suffered un told hardships and heartaches and passed through many trials and tribulations fraught with imminent dangers. Your frontiers too, my friends, will bring you many heartaches and sorrows before they are conquered. Your paths will be long and rocky with many pitfalls. Nevertheless you must push on, on, and always on, toward a bigger and better civilization. You must never go back. —Michael Lisetski To the Class of 1939: A man who marries an educated woman will have an educated family. As head of her home she realizes that housekeeping requires as much rhought, effort, and study as any other business or profession. She feels it is important to select, prepare, and serve proper food; to select and care for suitable clothing for her family, to select and maintain a healthful dwelling; to care for children; aged or sick people; to spend money wisely; to organize and manage the work involved in operating her house. In this way she establishes and assumes her responsibility in connection with that home. She finds joy in her work,” not drudgery” —Helen S. Seidel AMPTENNIAN 1939 To the Class of 1939: Advertising is showing the way for habits in the world. Advertising is now selling through suggestion - net selling then suggesting. You enter the world as a salesman with your stock-your personality. Make the most of it. Trade wisely, bargain shrewdly and sell suggestively. —Thomas Ronemus To the Class of 1939: Three centuries ago Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage and the men and women merely players.” Today we still do not know why we were born into the world other than that we were placed here to play a part in the drama of life, and now is the time to do it. The character w portray is left for us to choose. Let’s be wise enough to make it a noble one. —Thelma Santee To the Qraduation Class of 1939; A famous writer said, Blessed is he who has found his work. Let him ask no other blessing.” It is almost an axiom that if you are happy in your work you will be successful. It is not even necessary to have a good start. Many more men and women succeed from those who have to work for all they have than from those who have had every advantage at the beginning of their life work. A handicap is a good thing to start w'ith when times are so difficult that people grow in strength, ability and character. You should determine to make a little progress each day: to believe that you shall succeed and even to find time to help some one less fortunate than yourselves. —C. A. Bilheimer AMPTENNIAN 1939 To the Class of 1939: Now that your high school days are over we wonder what ha been accomplished in our working with you the past three years. Undoubtedly you entered upon this journey with enthusiasm and uncertainty. The years which follow will be just as uncertain. If we have aided you in preparing yourself to face uncertainty, and if we have helped you prepare for your selected future work, then we can feel well repaid for our efforts. You must be the judge because your school is what you make it. So live that tomorrow you may say, What a wonderful day the day has been.” — M. I. Hulsizer To the Class of 1939: I wish to extend my best wishes for a successful future in life. Look upon your school life as an apprenticeship which even-tually will become your path to mastership. Your teachers have tried to fit you for practical life, whether it be in a trade or a profession. Each of you have latent talents which must be awakened. We are proud of you and hope to hear many good reports of your ambition, perseverance and determination in the world of industry. —Lottie Moyer To the Class of 1939: My attention includes high school problems of teacher and pupil relationship regarding how to live well. So frequently we find that it is presupposed somehow that boys and girls know a great deal more than their experiences up to date have permitted them. To understand the mature or immature background of each pupil along with unexplained physical difficulties or handicaps would clear up improper attitudes. My hope is that pupils will learn how not to be shy about personal difficulties and that teachers will be sympathetic enough to decipher a pupil’s reaction until his problem is eliminated. —Lester Yeager AMPTENNIAN 939 To the Class of 1939: On the occasion of your Commencement, I want to congratulate each of you sincerely. You have reached an important milestone in your life. 1 trust you will realize fully its significance, in that it not only represents the culmination of your efforts during your High School career, but even more important in that it marks the “Beginning” of a career of greater importance to you rnd to society in general. Whatever that career will he, you will have to decide very carefully. I trust your decision will be right. In pursuing it, may you always remember the words of one of the most progressive industrialists of our day: “There is no substitute for hard work.” — E. J. Berg To Class of ’39: You are about to enter a new stage or threshold of life; that of youthful adulthood. What will you put on that threshold to get beyond it.7 Youth is the most challenging period of the whole span of life. Therefore, go into it wide-eyed and alert! Choose wisely and plan carefully. A proverb for thought. “Fear less, hope more Eat less, chew more Whine less, smile more Talk less, say more Grumble less, praise more And all good things are thine.” Happiness and Health to You. —Verna Dotter Message to the Senior Class: To the Class of 1939, let me give my most hearty congratulations on your success during your high school career. As a last message to you, I repeat the thought 1 have been trying to have you make a part of you: Balance yourself physically, mentally, and morally, and with this as a background, set out to accomplish your philosophy of life. Never give up, work hard, and you will reach your goal, for individual effort is the greatest factor in measuring success. Never expect too much, unless you give a lot, for one gets only a return on what he does. There is no such thing as luck, you must earn your own breaks. I sincerely hope that I will always be considered your friend. —J. E. Ludwig AMPTENNIAN 1939 To the Class of 1939: You’re in dry-dock now. Until this time you sailed around stopping overnight here and for six months there. Unless on your travels you encountered poor winds that forced you into the Sargasso, you have signalled a fervent welcome to all other seacraft. Let us hope so, for books are ships that sail through the seas of time. But don’t wait too long for repairs. Be certain they’re thorough, then put out to sea, sails unfurled. May a steady wind attend you! —Nellie Y. Fluck To the Class of 1939: It is with confidence that I look upon this class which leaves school this year to participate as future leaders of the day in varied walks of life. Some of the more fortunate will continue their schooling, others will locate in business, and still others in industry. Regardless of the path you choose, do your utmost by putting your heart and soul into your work. It is entirely up to you to climb the ladder with steps of hardships to success. May I suggest that you take these few inspiring words with you: A fire is never dead While the ashes are still red. Nor the sun set in the skies Until the day is done. —Harry G. Reiff To the Class of 1939: The period spent in school has helped you lay the foundation for your growth as a worthy member of society. Big jobs are waiting to be done by men and women who realize that the door of success is labeled Push. Without struggle there will be no progress but a word or act of kindness will make the going easier. The first requisite is self-control. It matters not in which field your great adventure lies, you are free if you have learned to govern yourself. It is a known fact that to others who had a similar struggle, it has given confidence, prestige, and life’s finest possessions—a good character and fine friends. —Nellie R. Henry AMPTENNIAN 939 2 To the Class of 1939: For twelve long years you have come to school each morning and have gone through the daily grind. You have made many friends and have had many happy hours within the walls of our school. These years, the happiest of your life, are soon to end. There will be a transition into a new life, demanding that you use the tools you obtained in school and keep them sharp, with a wholesome personality. It is no easy task to maintain adulthood. The world today is a fast moving conglomeration of conflicts. Clear these hurdles with a pleasing personality, good mental and physical health, and emotional stability. These are your best safeguards for a well adjusted life. —Albert Erdosy To the Senior Class of 1939: It is my wish that you go ahead from this turning point of your life and make the most of all the opportunities that come your way. Every person is responsible for all the good within the range of his abilities, and you never know what you can do until you try. Success to you. —Margaret Reppert To the Class of 1939: By graduation you have climbed to the summit of another hill to look into the world’s valley of life where scenes are a bit brighter, more prosperous and peaceful. Yet in the distance higher summits are to be reached—unconquered problems of society. Since truth drives the three-hcrse team of Work and Education guided by Religion, be not discouraged. Find your tools and seek a place to work. Be eager to learn as you go, keep fit, do right, and trust God. Give to the world the best you have-and the best will come back to you.' —William Bennett AMPTENNIAN 939 To the Class of 1939 : “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we afe in . . Never allow the inevitable trials and tribulations which will be-set you to lower your standards, rob you of your ideals, and cause you to lose sight of your goal. May e;'ch and every member of the Class of ’39. through a life of service, come as near as is humanly possible to the realization of his ambitions, and the fulfilment of his dreams of happiness. — Miriam C. Meighan To the Class of 1939: Members of the graduating class: I appreciate the opportunity of expressing a word or two on your glorious commencement. 1 hate to see you leave the halls of N.H.S., particularly the members of the band and orchestra; yet “time marches on” and each of you must soon play your instrument or role in life. Practice upon it with perseverance and patience, like a master musician. May you play it nobly in the Symphony of life! —Harry Newharp AMPTENNIAN PRESENTING THE SENIORS DAVID SCHAFFER MARY TEMOSCHOK 0||('cets ffee U( Class David Schaffer Mary Temoschok -Tillie Weiner Charlotte Smith - President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer (3las$ Poem Phyllis Nicholas PWARD AND ONWARD our banner unfurled Bravely we set out to conquer the world; The course of our studies all safely seen through Now ready to meet and to challenge the new. What perils, what sorrows, what joys shall we meet? Shall we succeed or succumb to defeat? The world ever grasps and mocks and flaunts But bravely with wisdom we’ll conquer all daunts.

Sincerely we praise our dear Alma Mater, May ever we be her best son and daughter. JUNE ANDREWS 1846 Washington Avenue “A pretty girl is like a melody.” We think Irving Perlin must have had June in mind when composing thissong. Being tall and possessing an unusual amount of poise, some think her to be cold and aloof, but we find that she personifies sincerity and acts as a magnet drawing everyone to her. June is decidedly witty, though shyness at times hides this. Her remarks are the subject of much laughter. Nary a football game does she miss and it’s really the game that she enjoys. Teasirg Willie, dancing, and boys are of major interest to her. On life’s highway she intends to join the white parade of nurses.

Steve has set ideas which he confidently expresses and sticks by until he convinces others that he is right.

Never can we forger her poise, her grace in which she portrayed a young girl—and a nun. Rarely beautiful with a reserve rhar add to her inherent charm Mayme has independently sought her way through school. With good taste in knowledge, she has sought the best to enjoy in studies, dancing, and entertainment. Junior Speaking Contest. Intradural Sports, Amptennian Staff, Qlee Club.

GERALD BfcERSOVERCASH Main Street Bath, Pa. This quiet unassuming fellow from Bath, is one of our earnest workers. With a knack for going after things and getting them, he is a silent fellow-, who rhinks much and says little. Just why he has no time for girl friends we can not imagine, yet we hope the “Bachelors Club” will lose his membership. Gerald’s keen mind and scholarly attainments point to a successful career, w hire his work will be an inspiration to others, and a lasting satisfaction to himself. For hobbies he is interested in photography and radio; to work in an office is his ambition in business. Rand, Orchestra, National Honor Society, rura-mwra-Sports.

Then bake in a pan of fun at a moderate temperature. This gives you Althea. This lovely miss, an intelligent person in all subjects, particularly in Shorthand and Typing expects some dav to become a secretary.

MIKE KEGLOV1TS 1392 Newport Avenue When the class is stumped with a question the teacher calls on Mike, who knows the correct answer. Mike is attentive during class, but when classes pass we see him laugh heartily with a group of boys. Remember “Mickey, with a big smile, tipping his hat and bowing before the class on the day of the Hi-Y initiation? Since then he has become an active member. At all athletic events we see him interested in sports. As a forward for the academic team Mike is very accurate in his basketball shots; as a good third baseman in baseball he hits home runs. With determination and ability Mike will surely continue his education. Vice Pres., National Honor Society; Hi-Y; Debating Club, Intra-mural Sports. PAUL EVANS 228 West 14th Street Poochy, as you know him, is one of our commercial boys. When you hear someone grumble in class, you might know it is he. He likes to argue in class no matter what the subject or in what class he may be. He also has taken considerable interest in intra-mural sports especially basketball and baseball. Thoroughly alive in many activities we have heard that Paul has found work in a dairy, has delivered papers, and in several other odd jobs has made himself generally useful. Keep smiling, Paul. Continue working until you find your chosen career. Intra-mural Basketball, Baseball, Football. ' . V, Ample GOLDIE KERN 1747 Washington Avenue In Goldie we find a pleasing personality and a character of friendliness that makes her a welcomed friend to all with whom she associates. She is quiet at times but upon most occasions is ready with a dash of laughter. Because of Goldie’s ability to sing she had been chosen as one of the group that travelled to the Sta'e contests in 1938. She was also given a leading part of “Isabella” in “Captain Crossbones.” She is an active member of the Girl Reserves, Mixed Chorus, and Glee Club, and is always willing to help in school activities.

To make his career with the artist’s brush is his plan of how to choose wharwork to do. Wi'h a subtle sense of humor he willingly ot half willingly approaches his assigned work.

Dancing is Harriet’s favorite pastime. Because of her diligence in her studies and her cheerful deposition we are sure that Harriet will succeed in her ambition as a Home Economics teacher. Life is but a stage with her as one of the actresses, and if she will play her pan as well as she has done here in school, she will attain her desirable goal. Then she will have learned the power of silence and quiet consideration.

FORREST KOHLER 56 Washington Avenue Forrest’s slick, neat appearance gives the impression that he is a classy fellow. According to his mood he reacts to his environment. Sometimes he can be amused at a situation w'hich at another time w'ould get his frown. To him there is so much to laugh at that he frequently neglects to be ambitious. With a dual personality of the merry and serious aspects of life, Forrest can entet business and sports with a zest. In the meantime he will make up his mind about this and that until his business will have been established. What business? Let us wait. Football, lntra mural Baseball and Basketball.

Since Julie wants to become a hairdresser, we know she will succeed in her very modest way without talking too much yet saying what is the right thing to say. With such a disposition Julie will make friends easily and build up a business successfully serviceable. Where will she open shop? Time will tell.

Notice his powerful shoulders, his heavy brow, his knit eyebrows, his perserverence, his determination, his shy smile—my, what a man! On his finger he wears a class ring with the loyalty that becomes a high school senior. Wassyl can think well on the spur of the moment. His position on the football ream gave us plenty of time to admire his courage, strength, and clean-cut sportsmanship. When Wassyl is active, he is distinctly admirable, forceful and influential. We hope he carries along this active spirit to the world where it is needed. Football. JOHN GEOSITS Northampton, Route 2 Inquiring from John we learn that his favorite subject is Problems of Democracy. Because these problems translate life situations, John is thoroughly interested. Coming from Seemsviile everyday, he has time to plan for study and sports. Some study appeals to him, the rest he is willing to skip. He not only enjoyed playing football but also meeting boys on other teams. One of his friendships w'as made through a game played at Nazar eth.

LORRAINE SPENGLER 1436 Washington Avenue Lorraine is a rather quiet girl who listens well so that she has become popular. She moves about her classmates with quiet cooperation and ease, saying very little, yet apparently thinking a great deal. At home her spare moments are occupied with household rudiments'-errands of various kinds, and then for leisure, reading books, yet quite frequently she enjoys going to dances and skating rinks. Her future prospect is hairdressing. We suppose that in the near future we may find a new beauty parlor opened to customers who want to improve their appearance in a new style of hairdress. GEORGE BEHRINGER 1543 Main Street George is a fellow who likes to be by himself. He is very quiet, but when it comes to wise cracks he knows how to express himself. “Tootie as we call him is very conscientious in everything he does. He plays soft ball a great deal. He plays the position of center fielder. At leisure George reads, listens to the radio or goes to the movies. In the summer time he likes to go into fields to shoot rats and mice. We hope that he finds an interesting career in life, and then a wife to share his taciturnity. Intra-mural Softball.

What a pretty coquettish blonde is this smiling girl with a winning turn of the head, a glancing eye, a quiet word, a pause, then a sigh. To understand what it is all about is Betty’s disposition. Curiously she waits without being too active, almost with a shyness that must be definitely denied upon knowing her. This year of school has been Betty’s best year of attendance. Her health has improved with beauty and perserverance. A good sport, a graceful skater is she. Several times a week she visits the rink. What will her future be?

Versatile enough in comic roles, we still like to think of him as the “Edward Everett Horton” of our school. His natural ability to portray and interpret is a gift that he has developed with full appreciation of the author’s intended meaning. At odd times he tries to deny his acting ability for the scientific aproach of this and that —and again he is comic.

He is serious-minded, eager, at times impatient with rural life, yet his wholesomeness springs naturally from his contacts with outdoor things and its natural philosophy. Since he can be trusted and depended upon, he is frequently given permission to drive a faculty automobile that seems to give him a great deal of pleasure.

As Sophomores we had first to adapt ourselves to the surroundings of our new harbor. Such things as dances, the opportunity of joining various clubs, and the true friendship of teachers and upper classmen made this a simple problem. We accomplished very little outside of the regular curricular activities during our first voyage here in Senior high. During our Junior year the first real bow to society took place at the Junior Prom which was an encouraging step toward our social life. Of course, we can’t forget the successful Junior Speaking Contest, the experiences a few of us received in debating, sports, chorus, and band, which proved very necessary and benefitting in our senior year. Neither can we forget the record left behind by the successful Class of ’38 in all fields of activities. With that challenge in mind we received the responsibilities that are naturally placed upon a senior class. The Senior Play was truly a success with new talent presenting itself. Debating, too, reached a new level it had never known before. Our school has given us enough elemental experiences to realize from this brief historical material that life is made up of work and fun. In so far as we balance the experiences of work and play in each succeeding plan or activity that challenges us as we set forward, can we, in the long run, continue the history of the class that has begun admirably enough for us to pause and say, Upward and Onward.” — David Schaffer Class Will E, the members of the Class of 1939 being of sound mind and retentive memory do hereby promulgate our last will and testament to our most dear friends.

Having just eaten a hearty meal in the dining car formulated by dietician Harriet Beers and her able assistants, Rachael Farber, Betty Stone, and Lorraine Spengler we were in robust condition to spend an exciting afternoon at the fair. Hailing an Anthony Bossard Black and Orange Cab, driven bv Clarence Heistand, we arrived quickly at our destination. Entering the giant marble gates we handed our dues to none other than Henry Coleman who was assisted by recorders and checkers among whom we recognized Frank Reinish, Catherine Cesanek, Louis Pfluger and Edward Unger. Taking a deep breath, the first thing that met our eyes was a gigantic building in the shape of a musical note. Entering quickly, we spent an enjoyable half hour listening to excerpts from operas as presented by the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Stephen Lahovski. We took notice that Albert Geary, World’s leading trombonist, occupied the first trombonist’s seat. Leaving the building of musical notes, we next came upon a most cunningly designed, diamond-shaped modest dress shop “Emilie et Marie” and upon inquiry we found out that it was operated by ou� former classmates Emily Bradoka and Mary Temoshak with their staff of workers including Dolphrin Danner, Renae Anthony, and Mildred Hoffman as clerks; Alexandria Micio, Olga Kowalyshyn and Doris Diehl as stenographers. The interior of this structure had been modernized by the internationally famed interior decorator, Alek Er- dosy. To the right of this building loomed a g gan-tic structure in the shape of a microscope. This we learned was the Cancer Research Building under the supervision of that eminent patho-logist, Arthur Bogden. Spending an amazing hourthere we proceeded as in a daze. We passed the beautiful all glass Dupont Building which as we know was directed by three Dupont research chemists: Merion Lon gen bach, Joe Kurtz, and William Gunther. Entering a theatre which billed as their stars the World’s Greatest Jitterbug Team, Alyce Lerch and Robert Sieger left us in a jovial mood to proceed on to our discoveries. But as a woman would have it, my wife needed to enter a beauty salon which to our pleasant surprise was owned and managed by our former friend Irene Beiry. To add to the surprizes, we found the hair stylist to be Carolyn Reichard; manicurist, Julia Szoke; and the operators included Marguerite Frye, Naomi Miller, and Rose Kurtz. Emerging from the beauty revitalizer, we wend cur way to the Educational Building. This massive structure was designed and built by Mike Keglovitz, William Koren and Kenneth Raub-enold working together as a corporation. Inside the building we came upon a conference of the leading educators of the day, comprising such familiar faces as John Yastum, president of Miami University; Phyllis Nicholas, Dean of Women; Kindergarten Supervisor, Pauline Wolfe; with Michael Chandick Supervisor, of Athletics at the Uuiversity of this fine Metropolis. Busily taking notes on the conference we find Martha Mathern, Minerva Leibenguth, Matthew Ostzakewitz, Ruth Levis and Kenneth Haidle. (3lass Prophecy, continued After the surprisin'4 happenings of the day, we keep up with the current events by pur-chasina the Miami Courier,” edited by Howard Jones with Assistant Editor, William Nazar. Th: efficient reporters were Dorothy Wagner, John Thorrick, Paul Evans, and Stella Husak; with sports editor Donald Leibensber-ger, caricatures by Harold Troxell, and society editor Grace Smith. On the front page we sec that our noted minister, Alvin Shiffer, is returning from abroad. Our U.S. President, David Schaffer, has expressed a good-will message to all nations and new members recently elected to Congress areTillie Wiener, Henrietta Roth, Gerald Overcash, Paul Bercik, and Kenneth Frese. On the society page we find Mavme Swallow has returned from England where she was the guest of our foreign diplomat Forrest Koehler. Catching our eye is the announcement of the marriage of Dorcas Henry and Harold Dieter. Amid the crowd we find our way to the Miami Hospital where we were greeted by the chief surgeon, Walter Stolrz, his assistants, Harold Humphrey, William Flory, and chiropodist Theodore Fogle, and internes Monroe Hall and Luther Frack. Why, I thought 1 recognized that soft, soothing voice just then! Oh, it’s the supervisor of nurses, Charlotte Smith discussing therecord charts with directress June Andrews. Suddenly I heard the other nurses talking, their voices sounding strangely familiar. Yes, it must be Betty Snyder, supervisor of Children’s Division, Dora Smith and Marian Hahn, who were coming off duty. The chef in charge of the hospital kitchen is Albert Kem-merer assisted by Emma Hugo, Martha Creyer, and Joyce Frederick. After a visit to Althea Schaeffer, the registrar, we departed in search of new wonders. Visiting the sports arena, under the guidance of Wassyl Borek, we came upon many nationally famed Olympic stars as Mike Budnick, recently crowned King of Track, with John Paul and Joe Filipovitz both managers of successful big league baseball teams and the all American football classic of 1959 coached by William Evans. The team was composed Albert Gavura, John Tretiak, Eugene Gorsky, and George Sharkazy. Among the six-day bike riders we find Elsie Lerch, John Beil, and Charles Fries. We feel hungry and call for the hot-dog vendor whom we recognize as Stephen Radak-ovitz. After our dusty trek we find ourselves in need of a shoe shine which we obtained from our old pal, Arthur Wassum.who has a small establishment with signs of growth and prosper' ity. Beyond lies the beauteous Horticultural Display in charge of Guy Rice, capably assisted by Dale Eisenha� d, George Newhard, Warren Hower, George Behringer, and Mark Solt. A1 bert Moser, truck-driver for this concern, has left with a load of flowers en route to “Pete” Andrew’s “Palm Terrace.” We enter and check our wraps with Betty Coleman who greets us with a pretty smile and are led to our table by Leonard Young who, as head waiter, keeps flirting with the petite cigarette g rl, Lorraine Smith. As we gaze about we see Louis Trinkle, progressing pharmacist, and Charles Druckenmiller, prominent undertaker, at a nearby table whose attentions are attracted to the stage where the Royal Peers” led by Maestro Joe Piervallo, beat out the light fantastic. Featured soloist is MikeSickonic on the licorice stick,” and vocalists Goldie Kern and Walter Saylor blend their voices with the orchestra. The floor show features Virginia Schoeneberger well- Glass Plcphecij, ccnclu'bPb known danseuse and famous ballet chorus composed of Arthur Miller, Glenn Snyder and Marjorie Landis. Last on our program was Thelma Herman, original “Raggedy Ann acrobat with John Lerch, comedian. About to leave this intriguing nite club, we renewed our acquaintance with John Geosits, world famous mixologist, who greeted us in his usual cour teous manner. Exhausted from the strenuous but most hap py day, we returned to our suite never to forget the happy moments in meeting our former classmates.

ITHIN a few more weeks after we shall have been graduated, we may enter the Alumni Association, that large body of men and women who enjoyed their commencement at Northampton High School. Because of the demands made upon everyday life the members of out alumni association find little opportunity to express either verbally or in written form their appreciation of by-gone school days or the merits of the present-day school organization. Each succeeding year changes the old order, yielding place to new, and we fulfill ourselves in many ways before we meet the demands of a community. Our generous monetary donors have been the classes or individuals of our Alma Mater. At the present time we recall the gift of twenty dollars for the Junior Speaking Contest, and the twenty dollars given for prizes at Commencement. Then we acknowledge the twenty-three hoods given to the football players at the cost of one hundred and sixty-five dollars, later the hedge that had been bought for the football field. Grateful are we for these splendid contributions and may we, as we become a part of your organization, continue the splendid work that has been done for our Alma Mater who develops the future men and women of our community.

Many of rhe school’s outstanding students are in our ranks. In athletics we are well represented by our star, Mike Wenglaz, followed closely by Joe Shina, Morris Smith, Arthur Wolf, Earl Reimer, Michael Bolesky, and Paul Strohl. When it comes to music, 1 believe we again excel, for haven’t we on our rolls, those two inimitable trumpeteers, Jimmie Meighan and Paul Bachman? But we are not without representation in the other branches of Music, having in our midst, Shirley Strohl and Elizabeth Miklus at the piano, Arthur Wolf at the violin, Alvin Frantz and Betty Grammes at the saxophones, and those two pals Carl Reinert and Robert Anderson at the drums and trombone respectively. We also have some fine speakers and actors in Gloria Miller, Betty Lynn, Constance Rupp, and Althea Hess on the girls’ side; and Bohdan Pacala, Eiwood Fry, Ralph Ervin, and “yours truly” on the boy’s side. Looking back over rhe group, I guess, and am proud to say, we are a pretty talented group. — Willard Fldredge, President Willard Eldredge Morris Smith Ethel Prutzanni -Bohdan Pacala Anderson, Robert Anthony, Renia Ar.gelstein, Doroths Bachman, El wood Bachman, Paul Bahniuk, Walter Balint, Irene Bamford, Althea Bartholemew, Hartiet Beahm, Enid Behringer, Althea Bodo, Julia Bolesky, Michael Borger, Elwood Budinetz, Jules Cehylik, Catherine Chandick, Peter Deisher, Evelvn Derkirs, Ferdinand Eldredge, Willard Erwin, Ralph Fcdorak, Stephen Fenstermaker, Rachel Fenstet maker, Wartcn Fota, Helen Frantz, Alvin Frey, Elwcod Fries, Walter Gcrny, Julia Gougher, Fred Grammes, Betty Hanro, Stephen Heiney, Irene Hess, Althea Herman, Hilda Hoffman, Sherwood Hoover, Doris Houston, Alice Hower, Paul Hugo, Dorothy fluniol Glass OFFICERS CLASS ROLL Humphrey, Robert Huth, Caroline Jacoby, Doris James, Lester Jones, Viola Kasyski, Pauline Kleppingcr, Eleanor Kochenash, Paul Koehler, Louis Kohler, Harvey Kosman, Wilfred Kotoris, William Kowalchuk, Harry Ktill, George Lahovski, Valeria Laky, Johanna Laubach, Mary Lerch, Mae Lerch, Marian Lerch, George Lynn, Betty Magochy, Andrew Manley, Jean Marcks, Shirley Marsh, Mavhelle Martinik, Andrew Masluk, Mary Masonheimer, William McArthur, Carl Meighan, James Meihoffer, Mary Mertz, David Miklus, Elizabeth Miller, Gloria Miller, Marian Miller, Marjorie Molesky, Margaret Nederostek, Catherine Nevthard, Jeanne Nicholas, Caroline Nicholas, Charles - Presidi nt - Vice-President Treasurer - Secretary Nicholas, Jean Pacala, Bohdan Petersell, Mary Pristash, Helen Prutzanni, Ethel Ricker, Doris Rehrig, Ethel Reimer, Earl Reinert, Carl Rinker, Carl Reph, Martha Ruch, Herbert Rupp, Constance Scheirer, Eleanor Seltzer, Jeanne Shedlock, Vera Shedonic, Jennie Sheetz, Robert Shina, Joe Sichcr, Frank Smith, Doroth Smith, Morris Snyder, Harry Solt, Verna Sottolano, Patricia Stone, Peggy Strohl, Paul Strohl, Shirley Strohl, Willard Stubits, Theresa Subits, Elizabeth Szuckics, Louis Vogel, Virginia Wenglaz, Michael Wolf, Arthur Whitesell, Mildred Yarsevich, Carl Young, Thelma Zelena, Helen Ziatyk, Petra t hcmcrte Glass |HE seventh day of September, 1938, marked the beginning of a new phase of education in the lives of all Sophomores - Senior High School. Into the busy school that day came many pupils—some who were gay and jubilant, some who were shy, and others who were nonchalant about it all. During the first week, everybody was excited and busy, and probably a little too noisy for the general good of the teachers. After that, however, they settled down to normal school life and to studying. As the first six week’s marks came in, the rest of the school sat up and took notice. Here in their midst they found a determined class—one that was not satisfied to be left in the wake of its senior classes. In the Class of 41” there is offered to the Northampton High School one of the best all-around classes in the school’s history. In debating, music, dramatics, sports, and education in general, there are many students whose work stands out as a credit to the class. Because of the abudance of talent and the splendid co-operation in the class, great things are predicted for us, and we feel confident that we can measure up to these predictions. Perhaps we can surpass them. —Charles Helue, President Charles Hellie {yobltcmcrie Class OFFICERS President Mary Perdick . - Vice-President Eleanor Jones - - Secretary Gilbert Hoffman - - Treasurer Abelovsky, Joseph CLASS ROLL Ferre), Josephine Krumanocher, William Schadler, Mahlon Alich, Charles Filipovits, Mary Lakatosh, Joe Scholl, John Anderson, Delthyne Flytutra, Catherine Leindecker, George Scholl, Lorraine Anthony, Merritt Fodor, Paul Lelko, Edward Schall, Paul Ardvini, William Fota, Mike Lelko, Margeret Schneider, Goldie Augustine.

In spite ot the fact that for the opening game we journeyed to Bethlehem and were defeated by a score of 7-0, our team showed surprising strength. The Konkrete Kids stepped into the winning column, with a 27-0 victory over Pen Argyl on the latter’s gridiron. Emmaus, our next opponent, fell a victim of the Konkrete Kids to the tune of 33-0. Our next game was with Whitehall on our own field and tht outcome of the game showed another addition to our win column by a score of 26-0. We continued on our winning streak by defeating Slatington and Palmerton on successive Saturdays; the former by 28-7; the latter bv 25-6. Lehighton, next in line was subdued by a score 26-16. The game with Nazareth, although no conference game, was one of the most freely scoring games of the entire season. We received the short end of a 25-19 score. The game with Stroudsburg was moved to Northampton because of the large Armistice Day crowd. Our boys were victorious by a score of 13 to 0. Success of our season depended on rhe showing in the Catty game. This annual Turkey Day affair played on Muhlenberg field is fastbecom ing one of the most outstanding games of the Lehigh Valley. Catty felt very confident but our team, with a great number of the boys playing their last game for the Alma Mater were victorious to the tune of 14 to 0.

But despite the fact our team, riding on reputation of former years, carved for itself a place in the annals of our school’s sport history. We won seven and lost twelve games. Filipovits, forward, was Captain of the team during the course of the season, and distinguished himself by steady playing and high scoring. His forward scoring mate was Morris Smith, also distinguished by his scoring ability. As center our team possessed Joe Shina. Two fine guards also were to be found in John Paul and Mike Weng-lasz. The entire team was comprised of Filipovits, Evans, Smith, Bud, nick, Shina, Leibensperger, Paul, Sharkazy, W englasz, Jacoby, Chandick, and Sakovits, all of whom were under the capable leadership of Coach J. “'Woody” Ludwig. —Alvin Shiffer BASKETBALL SCORES FIRST HALF Date N.H.S.

Albert Lerch, the coach, had to build a team in a few short weeks from a group of “green” players who were new in the game. He sure did one swell job of it. The reason we have a Junior Varsity team is to develop players for future Varsity competition. Next year Mr. Lerch will coach the Varsity team and we are all wishing him the best of luck and we hope that whoever takes over the Junior Varsity coaching job will develop players of the caliber that “Albie” developed. We are looking forward to a more highly successful season next year than this year due to the fact that a complete team will be back. The Jay V’s this year were composed of Willard Strohl, Bolesky, Chandick, Szykics, Wenglasz, Stubits, Marsh, Shirk, Sheckler, and Yanick. —Paul Strohl Ibaseball AS THE LAST item on the sports parade of Northampton High k School we gaze upon our baseball team. Although the season is not yet completed, the team, under the capable leadership of “Mike” Lisetski, has promises of a very successful year. The team is comprised of: Catchers, Vengrin and Jacoby; Pitchers, Filipovitz, Smith, Salash, Bahniuk; First Base, James and Sharkazy; Second Base, J. Wenglasz; and Paul (Captain); Third Base, Ziatyk; Short Stop, M. Wenglasz; Left Field. Borek; Center Field, Budnick; Right Field, Dieter and Yarsevich. The schedule thus far was comprised of three games. The first of which was played on our own field and due to early season freshness and newness of material we were defeated by a score of 10 • 5. As a result of this experience in active playing our bo scame back strongly to win the second game from Whitehall by a score of 7 - 6. The final of these three games was played at Bethlehem with the Kon-krete Kids again coming out on top to the tune of 11-8. And thus we close the baseball season as far as the Amptennian is concerned and we wish them luck for the ensuing games of the campaign. We are sure that it will not fall unheeded. —Alvin Shiffer PRESENTING ACTIVITIES Qmptemiian THE Editor-in-Chief of this Amprennian is Phyllis Nicholas with Althea Schatffer and Carson Hawk as Editors.

It is the evening of December 9, 1938. The Northampton High School Auditorium is occupied by an audience typical of those at N.H. S. Alumni, parents, students, and friends are eagerly awaiting the Class of 39’s presentation of their senior class play— “Wedding Spells.” The mammoth green curtain parts. The stage has been transformed into the penthouse of a wealthy young gentleman, “Steven Arlen,” Robert Sieger, of New York City. As the play begins Mr. Arlen explains to “Reeves,” Arthur Bogden, his dignified butler, that he has married over the week-end, but due to amnesia he is unable to disclose his wife. His best friend “Charlie Cooney,” Howard Jones, arrives; between them they concoct a scheme that they feel should eventually lead to the right girl. Steve plans a party for the evening, invites all the prospective girls and a wealthy designing widow, “Julia Pettingill,” Charlotte Smith. “Angelica,” Harriet Beers; “Niki,” Tillie Weiner; “Frances,” Henrietta Roth; and “Ruth,” Mildred Hoffman, arrive in the course of the evening—all kissing Steve except Ruth. This momentarily spoils Arlen’s plan for he meant to taste their kisses. While the party has been progressing nicely, Reeves rushes into the room pushing a fifth girl, “Billie,” Lorraine Smith, who claims to be Steve’s wife. Steve is amazed and vigorously denies it. Stunned and desperate, Steve pleads with Charlie to make love to each of the girls. The one who would not willingly respond, naturally would be his wife. He is certain it is not Billie. To prove that this is an evening quite beyond the usual, purses are beginning to be missed. Steve sends for the police. Some of the most humorous incidents of the entire play occur while Charlie plays lover to the girls. It is here we find his true love for Frances. Excitement again reigns as Billie disappears and each girl declares Charlie’s proposal. Francis is quite taken back and Charlie is quite disgusted. Throughout the play Reeves has seen Charlie’s lovemaking and claims he has seen the grandfather’s clock move. The Policeman,“Blake,” William Gunther, arrives, displaying not too much competence. Reeves finds Billie in the clock. Her mother comes in time to prove she is just a harmless kleptomaniac. The final visitor of the evening is a southern gentleman, “Sigbee Sullivan,” Joe Kurtz, Ruth’s uncle. In conclusion Steve makes a complete explanation of his dilemma. Ruth, satisified with his story, gives in and ends the play, “just plain bitter sweet.” We feel that the success of our class play is mainly due to the excellent direction of Miss Marian Laubach and Mrs. Thelma Santee. — Robert Sieger Tlationai Honoh. THE National Honor Society, a national society, embodies practically all the high schools of the United States. Being a member of this Society constitutes the highest honor bestowed on a high school student. Admittance is gained only through selections by the faculty who base their selections on the student’s character, service rendered, leadership, and scholarship attained. To help deserving students with their scholastic work and render service to the school are the prime purposes of the National Honor Society. Purely a service organization it, therefore, never sponsors any social functions. Comprising the personnel of the Society of this school term are fourteen students representing approximately twelve per cent of the graduating class. At the head is Mr. Ira L. Sheaffer who always was at hand to guide and advise us in perplexing situations. Although this past school term did not present many problems requiring our assistance, the members always stood by ready to offer it. Our National Honor Society consists of the following students: Albert Geary, William Gunther, Carson Hawk, John Yastum, Howard Jones, Mike Keglovits, Alexandria Micio, Phyllis Nicholas, Gerald Overcash, Kenneth Raubenhold, Robert Sieger, Alvin Shiffer, Charlotte Smith, and Mildred Hoffman. —Mike Keglovits Olchestla I INDER the capable direction of Mr. Harry R. Newhard and Mr. Edwin J. Berg the orchestra has had the most highly successful season in several years. This was due primarily to the addition of four excellent violin players to the string section. The orchestra is always willing to provide music for indoor events. Between the acts of a play or the selections of contest speakers there can always be heard the sweet and soothing music of Northampton High School’s great orchestra under the direction of Maestro Harry Newhard. Occasionally, yes, Bogden plays out of tune; or Trinkle desperately attempts to play the violin with facial expressions; or Geary gestures frantically to draw a forte from the musicians in the manner of Stokowski; or Lahovski lets out a squeak; or Meighan wants to be heard above the others; but then we are still amateurs and allowances must be made. To prove, however, that the orchestra can really play seriously, a concert was presented during an assembly program in November, 1938. Considering that it was given impromptu it was almost a finished performance. In fact, several people including Mr. Berg, Mr. Newhard, and all the orchestra members, actually believed it was a magnificent concert. The orchestra also provided the music for such important occasions as the Senior Class Play, Junior Speaking Contest, Armistice Day Program, Lehigh Township High School Class Night and Com mencement exercises, Commencement, and all assembly programs. The seniors of the orchestra who are being graduated will take with them many an orchestral memory—some pleasant others not so— they are: Violins, Merion Longenbach and Arthur Bogden; Clarinets, Stephen Lahovski, Mike Sikonic, Walter Stolz; Cornets, William Flory, Walter Saylor; Trombone, Albert Geary; Bass, Joe Piervallo. - Stephen Lahovski (Zand ALTHOUGH Northampton High School always has had a good school band, this year has undoubtedly been thefinest band year in the history of N. H. S. Harry R. Newhard, the director, Edwin J. Berg, associate director, and the seventy-two playing members, two color bearers and a drum major comprise the greatest band organization ever to represent North ampton High School. During the summer and autumn of 1938 the School Board purchased many new instruments at the suggestion and persistence of Superintendent Dr. Eichler. These were carefully distributed to musically inclined students of both Junior and Senior High School. As a result the membership of the Band increased from forty-eight in 1937-38 to seventy-five in 1938-39. In order to accommodate the new members twenty-seven additional uniforms were purchased. Several important events in which the band participated and performed magnificently oc-cured during the past season. On November 11, 1938 the band participated in the Armi- stice Day celebration which was held in town, and that evening captured first prize in the Jack Frost parade. The following day the band took parr in a similar celebration at Fountain Hill. As usual the band attended all football and basketball contests played at home—always ready to cheer and play our boys on to victory. On January 17, after weeks of drilling, the band went to Harrisburg to participate in the inauguration parade of the newly elected governor Arthur James. This trip no band member will ever forger. On March 31 the band presented its annual Spring concert which was very well attended. The program was varied and very delightful. It included classical, novelty, and State Contest selections; three soloists from the band and participants in the State Contest — James Meighan, Mary Jane Eichler, and Albert Geary; and a guest bassoon soloist, Michael Giomo, Norristown High School. The band was directed by Mr. Harry R. Newhard. During the program associate director, Edwin J. Berg made a few remarks concerning the program, the Band (Continued) State Music Contest, and presented the guest soloist. Two events concluded the band season: participation in the Annual Fireman’s Convention which was held this year in Mauch Chunk, on June 17, and the band’s annual outing at Penns-ville on June 18. By graduation the band will be deprived of Ljlee duly The Glee Club of about fifty girls, directed first by Mrs. Thelma Santee, and then Miss Miriam Meighan, prepared a program of song for a Spring Concert, a yearly event now looked forward to by the school. “Thank God for a Garden,’’ “Sparkling Sunlight,” and “A Brown-bird Singing” has been included among various selections. Congratulations to both leaders who develop such fine interpretation and tone. the following seniors: Albert Geary, solo trombonist for five years; Stephen Lahovski, solo clarinetist for four years; Mike Sickonic; Albert Kemmerer, Gerald Overcash, Walter Stoltz, clarinetists; Jo: Piervallo, bass; Alvin Shiffer, baritone; John Beil, drum; Theodore Fogel, Walter Saylor, William Flory, cornetists; and Arthur Bogden, flag carrier. —Stephen Lahovski iTlixec) durtus The Mixed Chorus of seventy-five boys and girls, directed also by Mrs. Santee and Miss Meighan, developed a program of songs up to their full-fledged appreciation of “I Love Life.” Splendid work. Well done. Qid l?ese oes OUR group is composed of a fine coterie of young ladies who earnestly try to cooperate with the home, church, and school. During the course of this year, meetings were held monthly to discuss our problems and better ourselves in all ways possible. Our meetings not only consist of business and duty but also of clean wholesome enjoyment of which every girl is made a part. We can never forget the impressive candle-light service for our initiation, and then again the most impressive of candle light services that we put forth as our contribution to the Christmas program; our annual May Day breakfast to crown the Queen of May, our pres-dent; our effective meetings and inspiring guests; and then to complete a most worthwhile year of activity “Us on a bus” for New York World’s Fair. The officers of our club this year are: President, Irene Beiry; Vice-President, Alyce Lerch; Secretary, June Andrews; Treasurer, Harriet Beers; Custodian, Goldie Kern; Advisor, Arline Kistler. The ftunicrl yf ealzin(j Contest OUR Junior Speaking Contest this year was a great success in every way. We had a fine audience, good judges, talented speakers, and most of all, the truly fine and indispensible coaching of Miss Arline Kis-tier. The evening of the contest came, the curtains parted,and Bohdan Pacala, the first speaker, stepped forward, took his bow, and began his selection, “They Shall Not Die” by John Wex-ley. As Reuben, a New York lawyer, defending a negro boy, he commanded our attention to powerful summation. Next, Althea Hess, the poet of the group, stepped forward and told of Barnabus, The Juggler of Tourraine” as written by Edwin Markum. Her rendition of thispeom was truly fine. Then, Willard Eldredge stepped to the fore. He gave a very interesting account of Count Von Luckner, The Sea Devil” by Lowell Thomas. We were next offered the selection, Fear God and Take Your Own Part,” a fine patriotic bit by Gloria Miller. The selection was written by Myron Brinig. We were next gretted by Ralph Irvin who gave us a fine idea of Washington at “Valley Forge” as written by Maxwell Anderson. This selection was very well done. Next, Constance Rupp, as the music teacher in Sidney Howard’s “Alien Corn,” held our attention with the sad story of her life. Then came the gripping “Battle of Germantown” by George Lippard and narrated by Elwood Frye. This selction was supposed to be one of blood and thunder” and Elwood certainly made it such. Next, to take us out of our eerie frame of mind came the comic selection, “Brotherly Love,” by Leota Hulse Black, and presented by Betty Lynn. This was the story of an argument between two brothers, and how true to life! The first prizes donated by the Alumni Association were won by Betty Lynn and Elwood Frye. The second prizes, donated by Mr. Edward Royer and Mr. H. A. Miller were won by Gloria Miller and Willard Eldredge. We were also honored with a number of selections by the High School Orchestra. —Willard Eldredge Hi-lj Club THE HI-Y Club, starting back in the twenties, has constantly gained in prestige and honor until now, when it is not only “one of the oldest and best known organizations” but also one of the most respected organ zations in the school. The splendid cooperation between the members of the club has boosted the Hi Y to heights never attained before. Wot king as one, striving as one, progressing as one, and as a result, all were developing as one in the principles for which Hi-Y stands. The platform of the Hi-Y is Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Scholarship. The purpose is to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christain living. With these ideals always in mind, the club created and followed a program, varied in form, constructive in its goal. This program included dances and socials, church meetings, speakers, helping the school ard community in various projects and, what we hope will become a Hi-Y tradition, going to the different churches as a unit. The Easter Chapel program was again sponsored by the Club. The speaker was the Reverend Mr. Moatz. Twenty-two boys from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes are members. The officers an: President, David Schaffer; Vice President, Alvin Shiffer; Secretary, Howard Jones; Treasurer, Robert Sieger. Seniors: David Schaffer, Alvin Shiffer, Howard Jones, Robert Sieger, Leonard Anthony, “Pete” Andrews, Dale Eisenhard, Merrir Bossard, Mike Keglovits, Charles Flies, William Gunther, William Evans, Leonard Young. Juniors: Ltster James, Elwood Frey, Earl Reimer, Morris Smith, Robert Anderson. Sophomores. Charles Hellie, Gilbert Hoffman, Charles Wolfe, Foster Longenbach. The faculty advisor is Robert Stewart. %e Debate dub WITH the departure of one of the most sue cessful debate teams in several years there is left behind a spark of interest in public speak ing which we are sure will be fanned to a flame by our able and aggressive debate coach, Robert Stewart. Besides presenting a very enlightening debate on the Dutch Treat System in an Assembly program, the Varsity Debating Team consisting of Arthur Bogden and Joseph Kurtz upholding the affirmative side with Srephen Lahovski and Merion Longenbach maintaining the negative, the debate club has participated in four inter-scholastic debates. The Slatington, South Whitehall, Catasauqua debates were non-decisional, but the Emmaus debate was decisional with our negative winning and affirmative losing by a close margin of one point. The question debated throughout the season was -Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. On Friday March 17, the Varsity Debating Team attended the Palmerton Debate Tournament at which the schools of eastern Penn- sylvania and New Jersey were represented. There Northampton made a fine showing, one of the five semi-finalists out of seventeen high schools. Although losing out in the semifinals. Northampton gained third place with eight victories out of twelve debates. The affirmative team gets honorable mention as the only team winning five straight victories in the preliminaries. Not content with this, the Varsity Team attended the Bethlehem High School Open Forum and to the chagrin of several worthy opponents 'stole the show!’ All of the opportunities and successes can be attributed largely to an unusually good debate-ing team encouraged by the dynamic interest and cooperation of the coach, Robert Stewart. We are sure that with good material and continued interest the debate teams of the future will be able to continue the brilliant record set by the ’39 Debating Team. This we hand down to the Junior Varsity: Charles Hellie, Richard Yale, William Mackenzie, and Francis Trinkle. —Arthur Bogden THE 1938-39 term inaugurated a new and more interesting Concrete Courier. After several years of a mimeographed publication, the change in format, as well as in the means of printing, were a welcome innovation. Although the paper is only five inches by seven and one-half inches, approximately 1500 words are printed in the eight columns. Due to large printing assignments, the N. H. S. Print Shop could not carry the task of setting the type for the Courier, and accordingly, the job was given to a regular lino-typer. However, the actual printing of the paper is the assignment of the Print Shop, which turns out 700 Couriers per week. The subject matter of the paper has necessarily been adapted to the size. There has been a constant endeavor to include in assignments a variety of student literary work, school news items, humor, sports articles, and class write ups. The “miniature” presents as representative a picture of school life as do larger publications of larger schools. The Staff this year consists of the following: Editor-in-Chief, Elizabeth Subits; Reporters, Dorothy Anglestein, Harriet Beers, Judith Guss, Madeline Feidler, Tillie Weiner, Aaron Minnich, Janice McCarty, Arthur Bogden. Joel Roth, Henrietta Roth, Margaret Roth, Shirley Roth, Doris Sage, Ruth Kline, Olga Pacala, Stephen Lahov-ski, Charles Bennett, Theresa Stranzl, Anne Keppel, and Wallace Zacharchuk; Business Staff, Minerva Leibenguth, Carolyn Reichard, Martha Mathern; Faculty Advisors, Alvin N. Fegely and Nelle Fluck. AFTER the Eastern District Contest, directed in Northampton bv our own Superintendent of Schools, Dr. G. A. Eichler, the Twelfth Annual Pennsylvania State Forensic and Music League Contest was held in Norristown. Northampton was entered in four state events: Mixed Quartet, Declamation, Flute solo, and Trombone solo. Dorothy Angelstein, Pauline Overcash, Frank Trinkle, and David Schaffer of the Mixed Quartet had to forego their State entry upon Frank Trinkle’s serious illness and that of his alternate, Charles Hellie’s appendectomy. Of those contestants in the photograph: Howard Jones, a senior, was rated third place of nine contestants in Declamation; Mary Jane Eichler, a sophomore, won third place in nine contestants in Flute; and Albert Geary, a senior, was selected in second place out of nine contestants in the Trombone instrumental solo. Congratulations and best wishes are extended to all those students who have worked exceedingly well enough to meet the difficult requirements and talents of State competition. appreciation EAVING done a task well is often of greater value than a monetary reward. To publish this Amptennian so as to gain the confidence of others who will believe and trust our judgment is to be valued highly. For the encouragement, inspiration and perseverance necessary to complete this volume, the Staff looked to Mr.Ira L. Shaeffer for business matters; to Miss Arline Kistler for compiling and correcting all material for the press; to Mr. Alvin N. Fegely for arranging, designing, and printing the contents. To each and all who have in any way assisted the Staff, it has been a pleasure to have had your contribution in helping to produce this annual. - Phyllis Nicholas PRESENTING ADVERTISEMENTS f 1 ROTH BROTHERS STEPHEN LAHOVSKI Telephone 2222 Custom Tailor Cleaner and Dyer 1707-04 Main St. Northampton, Pa. l66l Main St. Phone 2435 MARRY V.
