Cl ass Prophecy Having been actively engaged in census enumeration for the past three decades, we have decided at the completion of this, the 1970 census, to indulge inpri-vate research. As we have often thought probable, our classmates of thirty years ago scattered throughout the world, toiling in all fields and walks of life, some mighty executives, others as citizens in humbler positions. Searching through the census, we finally succeeded in uncovering 104 of the enumerated, which comprised the Senior Class of 1940 of the Northampton High School. Gradually many hidden secrets came to light about comrades, some of whom we have not seen since June 21, 1940. In several cases it was necessary to obtain international data. After securing this material, it behooves us to publish in this book what has become of the once great and glorious class of 1940. On the next pages will be found the results of our census. In the first column are the names of the personages, thence, from left to right come, residence, occupation, whether married or single, and last, but not least, the number of children .

Some of the original group have dropped by the wayside, but most of us have plugged on and succeeded rather well. Take our sports record for example -- in the three years of High School we’ve held the league championship in football, had some fine basketball teams, and baseball teams. This record is due in a large part to the work of such athletes as Mike Wenglasz, Morris Smith, Carl Yarsevich, Pete Cbandick, Lester James, Earl Reimer, Joe Shina, Paul Strohl, and a good many other versatile seniors. Then when mus'c was needed, a group pf musicians could be found in the ranks of the class of ’40. Didn’t we have Jimmie Meighan, Paul Bachman, Earl Reimer, and Fred Gougher in the trumpet section? And what about the rest: Robert Anderson, “Bumpty” Reinert, Alvin Frantz, Bette Grammes, Shirley Strohl, and Oh, yes, we mustn’t forget our drum majorette, Julia Bcdo. Then there was Artie Wolfe who sawed away on the fiddle for three years in the orchestra. Yes, we have a few musicians among our ranks. When tryouts were held for the Senior Class Play, we found a few actors: Betty Lynn, Gloria Miller, Mary Laubach. Harriet Bartholemew, Dorothy Angel-stein, Shirley Strohl, Althea Hess, Jimmie Meighan, Lester James, Morris Smith, Elwood Frey, Bohdan Pacala, and Willard Eldredge. Then to add to our dramatic achievements, Willard Eldredge placed third out of eleven contestants in the State finals of the Forensic and Music League Contest held this year in Harrisburg. Of coutse we’re all sorry it’s over, yet now we can go out and see what there is to be done.

A fellow not hearing the principal and playing Pinochle in a far off corner, replied to his partner, 20 to push!” Mr. Sheaffer’s temper was aroused. 88 88 A sure sign of winter - Paul Strohl has his”blan-ket pants’ out of Moth balls. 88 88 Jacoby to Smith: Of all the pebbles on the beach you had to pick a Stone. 88 88 Mr. Bennett: If you mind your own business some day you will have a business of your own to mind. 88 88 After tvping class: More than five errors a day Is a way To make your hair gray. 88 88 M.

No answer from class. Miss Ki tler; Well, the mother is the trunk, the father is the bark, the sisters - the lovely blossoms, and the boys the sap. To the Alumni To the class of 1940: “Do good, be good, make good ” The Alumni Association is pleased to welcome into its fold, with open arms and outstretched hands, the goodly company of those who claim kinship with the Class of 1940! Yours is a noble aspiration, as expressed by your class motto, which tops this message. Our best wishes, that you may attain your goal, come to you from your older brothers and sisters, who have already passed through the portals of the school as your predecessors. As you emerge from sheltered cloisters of our Alma Mater, you come forth onto the scene of American Democracy, at one of those countless times when important history is unfolding before our very eyes. Ctrtainly it calls for the clearest thinking to keep one’s balance in times like these, and far graver decisions than your generation has yet been called upon to make, lie before you. We mean, by all means, to g ve you all the encouragement we can, and dare. Yours is the exalted privilege to think, to speak, and to act for yourselves. ’Ere you do the latter, be positive that you have investigated all the possible angles of the situation. This is essential. These lines from John McGrae’s “In Flander’s Fields” we leave with you, for while they seem timely now, they will doubtless continue to be appropriate at the end of another decade or even a generation: To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! Fraternally, —The Alumni Association Willard G. Hawk, ’33, President It is not easy to . . . Study. Translate your own German. Travel the steps.

Although the N. H. S. Yearbook of 1915” was small in size, it was mighty in content. Some of the kind of its items found in the little blue book are still to be found in the Amptennian of 1940. This, the first yearbook, was dedicated to the Superintendent of Schools, William D. Landis. Many other familiar faces were included too, Mr. Clyde Frank enfield, the principal of whom so many of our parents, particularly our mothers, speak so well; then there was a young fellow, by the name of Ira L. Sheaffer, teaching science, he must have been pretty good at it, for he still is. Of the student activities I see that in inter class debate, war was decided de-rimental to the progress of civilization -a timely subject, a fitting conclusion. 1 also see that Grace Lauer and Elmer Shafer were the lucky ones in the oratorical contest. The school went in strongly for athletics with teams in basketball, baseball, field, and girls basketball. Among the senior class we find many prominent citizens: Fred Kline, the best looking boy; Clayton Spangler, now a successful physician and member of our present Board of Education. I see reviews of many good times � n ’15, pages replete with good humor. And in the advertisements, I see that there is a men’s shop in Allentown, known as Koch Brothers; that the Cement National Bank has a surplus of $100,000; that James E. Kocher is a candidate for County Treasurer; that Remmel and Rupp have some farms to sell; that the dentist is Dr. J. Frank Bell, our present President of the Board of Education, and that Miller’s Department Store has fine shoes to sell. In many ways the mtrrbers of the class of T5 lived well enough to execute as well as believe the meaning of their motto, Our Aim — Success, Our Hope — To Win.’’both in their plan for a yearbook and in their plan of life.

Throughout the course of the year, our class was well represented on the honor rolls, in all the sports, and in the variousschool clubs i.e. Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, Student Council, Gym Club, Debating, etc. The main event of our Junior Year was the annual Junior Speaking Contest. After a great deal of preparation on the part of the contestants and Miss Kistler, the faculty advisor, the contest should have been held on the night of February 15, However, because of two postponements due to inclement weather, and then the sickness of several contestants, the contest was not held until February 29. Many studenrs, faculty, and friends attended to acclaim one ot the finest speaking contests ever to have been held in this school. Thus our two years in High School have served to train us for our forthcoming year as Seniors, when we will be the leaders in all school life. We feel confident that we can readily accept this respon sibility, and we eagerly look foward to a big year in 1941. - Charles Hellie Junior Class OFFICERS Charles Heilie - President Foster Longenbach - Vice-President Eleanor Jones ' Secretary Mary Per pick CLASS ROLL Treasurer Alich, Charles Flytutta, Katherine Levis, Lewis Shimkanon, Joe Anderson, Delthyn Fota, Mike Long -nbach, Foster Sickonic, Margaret Arduini, William Fries, Howard Lutz, Madeline Sillies, Harold Ramford, Irene Gillespie, Herbert Mackenzie, William Siratore, Tessie Barrall.

Ahead of us lie two more years of studies. Behind us are the remnants and memories of nine school years. With the knowledge gained from our past school experiences we set forth on a new venture. This is the critical period in our lives. One mistake will change it completely. We are like a ship. One mishap will cause the ship to be wrecked and left to rot and shrink away. Only through the watchfulness and good judgment of its master will the ship be spared the danger of ruin and disaster. The teachers are our masters. Through experience attained by many years of hard work, they are able to help us and guide us. Because of our inexperience they are ready to advise us when the going gets tough. Cooperation between the class and the teachers is an excellent beginning in our fight to achieve success. Due to the abundance of talent and a willingness to learn, the class of “42” will strive to become one of the best classes in the history of our school. With the foothold that we have in Senior High we shall labor diligently to gain all the pleasure and success that life has to offer. —Walter Frederick Sophomore Class OFFICERS Walter Frederick - James Koren - Joyce Fenstermacher Patsy Sinatore - CLASS ROLL Abraham, Joe Adams, Doris Anderson, Ralph Andrews, Loretta Anthony, Kenneth Ash, Grover Augustine, Anna Bachman, Feme Balliet, Edgar Barzz , Joseph Bauer, Joe Beck, Alfred Behringer, Fern Beltz, Harold Billy, Ruth Bodish, Elsie Bodnyk, Russel Borger, Beatrice Bradoka, John Budihas, Edward Buriamo, George Ceasanik, Helen Cole, George Cole man, Renia Creger, Bertha Creger, Kenneth Daumer, Catherine Dech, Floyd Dech, Kurwin Deemer, Betty Deiderr, Robert Deisher, Lorraine Demchuk, Anna Demchyk, John Demczvszyn, Mary Dergositz, Mary D.ehl, Willard Dilliard, Kathleen Drabik, Mike Dreisbach, Paul Dwarnick, Walter Eberhardt, Hilda Eisenhautr, Henry Emerick, Emma Evanega, Helen Evaschuk, Joseph Fanok, Paul Farkas, Elizabeth Farkas, Joseph Fen termaker, Joyce Ferrel, Henry Frack, Beatrice Frack, Carl Frederick, Allen Frederick, Walter Fritz, Etheltine Fruhman, Rose Garaca, Stephen Geosits, Joseph Geosits, Yolanda Gereg, Margaret Gigler, Frieda Goldfarb, Marcel Graberitz, Lillian Gregory, Virginia Giestler. joyce Gust, Clifford Hall, Ralph Haller, Ernest Holyaman, Leonora Hartranft, Elaine Hess, Doris Hess, Jean Hess, William Hiestand, Gerald Hluschak, Stephen Hocht, Hattie Hoffman, Sherwoo Hohl, Jack Horvath, Hi len Houston.

Instead of employing an athletic director who would devote all of his time to athletics and physical education, the coaching reins were handed over to faculty members of our high school, who are not only well versed in teaching but also in coaching. Mr. Albert Erdosy was assigned the task of head football coach, with Messers Michael Lisetski, Thomas Ronemus, and Albert Lerch as assistants. These men molded a group of boys, made up of new players plus substitutes from last years’ squad, into a combination which won seven of the ten scheduled contests, six of these being league games. They shared first place honors with the Stroudsburg Poconos. The nucleus of the team was composed of the following boys: Center: Joe Shina, “Bulldog” Frey, “Tubby” Strohl; Guards: Co-Captain “Mitch” Bolesky, “Footer” Wolfe. Carl Reimer, Charles Scholl; Tackles: “Streak Stryker, Rodney the Rock” Cehylik, Stephen Fedorak, Warren Fenstemaker; Ends: Lester James, “Ducky” Vengrin, “Metch” Bahniuk, Albert Falat, Edward Shirk; Quarterback: Co-Captain“Turk” Wenglasz, Mike Fota; Halfbacks: Jimmy Smith, Earl Reimer, “Snapper” Chandick, Carl Yarsevitch, Joe Sakovits; Fullback: “Hotshot” Strohl, “Eddie” Yanik. A short resume of the season including the Koncrete Kids, opponents, score and high spots of the respective games is as follows: Football, Continued BETHLEHEM 19 N.H.S. o Although outclassed by Bethlehem’s great team, the Kids put up a valiant fight before succumbing. The game was witnessed by 10,000 people, the largest crowd of the campaign. PEN ARGYL 7 N.H.S. 6 Lost a tough one to our rivals, PenArgyl, in a non-league combat. First game of the season played at home. EMMAUS 6 N.H.S. 21 In the first league encounter Northampton humbled Emmaus, a Pre-season favorite, mainly because of fine offensive work coupled with the fine work of the stalwarts in the line. WHITEHALL o N.H.S. 3 Mike Wenglasz, elusive quarterback ptovided us with a victory, over our neighboring rivals by virtue of a perfect 20 yard drop kick, which occured during the second quarter of the game. SLATINGTON 7 N.H.S. 26 The scoring punch of the Kids was uncorked as they romped over Slatington for their third consecutive league victory. PALMERTON o N.H.S. 13 Two touchdowns, occurmg in the second and third quarters respectively, was sufficient enough to hand Palmerton its first defeat in league competition. LEHIGHTON 7 N.H.S. 30 On an afternoon, too hot tor football, the boys handed out a decisive decision to the Indians from Lehighton, making it five straight for the home club. NAZARETH 13 N.H.S. 24 After trailing at the half, the boys came back strong and snowed the Nazareth team under with a barrage of passes and running plays. STROUDSBURG 7 N.H.S. 6 The Poconos, co-champions of the league, eked out a one point decision over the boys before a capacity crowd. The game was bitterly fought, thus packing it with many thrills. CATASAUQUA 7 N.H.S. 12 Thanksgiving morning the boys piled up a 12 to 7 advantage in the first half, and then staved off a second half rally by our traditional rivals. A crowd of about 8,000 people witnessed the game. —Paul Strohl Basketball Since there were no outstanding players on the Northampton High squad this season, Team Work was the key word. They may nor have been on top, but they made a real fight out of every single game. Each game was a brilliant battle. Many rimes our boys fought hard and furiously not against a better team, bur against height. The faulty shooting of some of the taller teams gave our plucky squad a chance to capitalize on a great many of its scoring possibilities. Tis true, they did not win the championship but they did gain many things morally. This was made possible through the able assistance of our popular coach Albert “Doc” Lerch. The appelation of “Doc” was given to him for his willingness at all times to help his boys along regardless of whether it be about basketball or the other things in life. The squad was ably captained by “Jimmy” Smith, who was also the highest scorer. The other members were: “Moony” Jacoby, “Joe”Sakovits, “Johnny” Wenglasz, “Ed” Yanik. Joe Shina, “Hot-Shot” Strohl, Pete Chandick, “Tubby” Strohl, Louis Szukics, John Shellock, and “Steve Horvath. - Louis Szukics Basketball Scores FIRST HALF N.H.S.

After suffering from “court fright,” preseason combats, they finally “found themselves and finished strong. Mr. Reiff possesses a fine personality and the will to win, therefore he is sure to succeed as a coach. We all wish “Reiffy” a very successful 1940-41 season. Sincere sympathy goes to Sherwood Piper who unfortunately broke his arm in the Palmerton fracas in the Zinc Borough.

Although, at first, it was skeptical as to whether we would have a baseball “nine” this year, it was finally agreed on and and at this stage of the game it appears to have been a good move. '‘Mike’’ Lisetski, our baseball coach and history teacher, developed, in a few weeks, a team of high caliber and smoothness. The first game, a non-league combat, found the Kids facing Easton; a Class A opponent. After putting up a valiant struggle, the boys lost 7 2. Northampton then journeyed to Bethlehem where they faced another formidable opponent, the Steel City Boys, Bethlehem. After a see - saw game, the final score showed a dead lock with both teams scoring three runs. Next in line,of the heavy hitting kids was Lehighton, our first league opponent who was easily subdued by a 4 to 2 score. Central Catholic High one of our newly acquired opponents didn’t find Morris Smith’s pitches much to their liking and were therefore easily conquered 5-2. Our second league opponent, Catasauqua, was conquered 11 to 8 when the boys slaughtered the ball. One inning found the boys amassing seven runs which proved to be the margin of victory. “Mooney” Jacoby homered with two. The team consists of Mike Wenglas, Morris Smith, S.Hluschak, John Weng-lasz—Pitchers; George Vengrin, Stephen Stosirs, Lester James, Joe Barszy, John Shellock, Stephen Rosar,—Infielders; Carl Yarsevitch, Walter Bahnick, Pete Fan-ko, Edward Yanik, W.

In every phase of life there are certain groups of individuals who must always bear the burden to accomplish a certain task. Under the supervision of Miss Kistler and Mr. Fegely and a well-organized staff, the “Amptennian” has been published In preparing the enclosed material for the Amptennian the staff members gained considerable experience in expressing their appreciation for experiences which shall be recalled by anyone who is interested in any phase of our High School life. The completed work is in your hands. Criticize it you may, but before you find fault as a faculty member or a student, think of what cooperation must be given to a staff to help make this book a success. Concrete Courier ELIZABETH SUBITS DORIS SAGE Editor-inChief Editor MISS NELLIE FLUCK Literary Advisor MR. ALVIN N. FEGELY Publishing Advisor Described as “small, but mighty,” this weekly two-column newspaper covers every phase of school life. On its four pages, front-page and sports news is balanced by several columns in the lighter view, student opinions are quoted, and students are given an opportunity to have their literary efforts published. This publication represents both Senior and Junior High, as students of the both schools compromise the staff, which, headed by an editor-in-chief, puts forth its best efforts to give the articles the appeal necessary to interest the student body. To take care of the various types of news, associate editors are elected. With Miss Nellie Y. Fluck and Mr. Alvin N. Fegely as faculty advisors, the 1939 40 Courier Staff was made up of the following: Editor ■ in Chief Elizabeth Subits Associate Editor Doris Sage News Editor Ruth Kline Literary Editor Joel Roth Social Editor Janice McCarthy Humor Editor Theresa Stranzl Sports Editors Wallace Zacharchuk Anna Keppel Business Staff Mary Meihoffcr Renia Anthony Althea Hess Racheal Fensretmaker Reporters James Smith Phyllis Samuels Raymond Hluschak Dorothy Angelstein Madeline Feidier Judith Guss Gloria Smirh Richard Yale Helen Kremko Aaron Minnich John Kucharczuk Charles Bennett Margaret Roth National Honor Society OFFICERS HAUL STRO'rlL President MARGARET MOLESKY Treasurer CAROLYN NICHOLAS Vice President ELIZABETH SUBITS Secretary The fifteen students of the National Honor Society have attained the highest possible honors of High School activities. The Society is made up of fifteen per cent of the graduating class who have been chosen by the faculty council who takes into consideration Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. As leaders of their class, members serve and aid fellow classmates in their schoolwork. In this way both Society members and their classmates are benefited: the members gain a wide range of experience, and their classmates profit by the knowledge received. To Mr. Sheaffer, our advisor who has given us invaluable aid during the year, we are very grateful. The National Honor Society members of 1940 willgo straight forwardly into the world and endeaver to better humanity.

During the summer vacation of 1939, four Hi-Y officers were sent to a training camp near Harrisburg. This added to the betterment of Hi-Y leadership and programs. Among its outstanding activities this club made it possible tor each participant in the Junior Oratorical Contest to win a cash prize. With great interest this club presented chapel programs and planned a number of school dances. The selling of football programs for our traditional Turkey Day game added to the enjoyment of the event. Acting as hosts for the Forensic events was also thoroughly enjoyed. Beside the monthly meetings of the club held in various churches thurough-out the community, club periods provided considerable time for us to get together. Speakers and discussions added to a prosperous year. A dinner- dance brought to a close our activities and inspired a forward look to future Hi-Y events. There are twenty-two faithful members: Willard Eldredge, Paul Strohl, Earl Reimer, Robert Anderson, Lester James, Morris Smith, Stephen Hanto, Arthur Wolfe, Elwood Frey, Daniel Demko, Carl Reimer, Walter Easterday, Francis Trinkle, Ralph Anderson, Ernest Haller. Clair Paul, John Knauss, Foster Longen-bach, Gilbert Hoffman, Stephen Cebylick, Charles Htllie. — Lester James Orchestra Worthy of a great deal of praise is this thirty piece orchestra, which, under the capable instruction of director Harry Newhard and assistant director Edwin J.Berg, provides music not only for the regular assembly programs but for several other important occasions as well. The Senior class play, the Junior Speaking contest, the Lehigh Township High School Class Night and the Senior commencement exercises found the N. H. S. group furnishing the music.lt occasionally plays at Rotary Club banquets showing that not all of its activities are confined to school. Also to its credit are an assembly program in January, and a May Spring Concert. The Spring Concert has proved to be one of the big attractions of the year. While it is a comparatively young affair, it has met with great success. This year, it was held in collaboration with the Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and Mr. John Mealey, baritone. However, it is still fundamentally an orchestra concert. Trumpet player James Meighan was selected to serve as student director, and the other seniors who are included in the organization are as follows: Arthur Wolf, violin; Betty Grammes and Alvin Frantz, saxophones; Fred Gougher, Earle Reimtr, and Paul Bachman, trumpets; Robert Anderson, trombone; Carl Reinert, drums; and Shirley Strohl, piano. —Shiriey Strohl The Band The band under the able direction of Mr. Newhard, our director and Mr. Berg, our associate director, again made history this year. At the beginning of the year the frontal appearance of the band was colorfully modernized and streamlined by the addition of four twirling majorettes, namely: Doris Adams, Jacquelyn Miller, Madeline Mack, and Jean Deibert. The addition of these eye-catching majorettes brought the total membership of the band up to 79. Several outstanding events in which the band participated during the past season were: the local Jack Frost parade, annual Mardi Gras held at Catasauqua, and the Armistice Parade at Easton. The Band performed so spendidly that at each of these affairs the first prize was captured. In addition to this the band rendend its services at the basketball and football games. January 17 again marked an historical experience in the life of all band members. A year ago the band participated in the inaugural parade in Harrisburg. This year the band was given a deluxe testimonial banquet by the Northampton Exchange Club. On April 10 the band presented its annual Spring Concert. Although last year’s concert was of a high order, this year’s concert surpassed it in presentation ard attendance. The soloists were James Mi ighan, Mary Jane Eichler, and Monroe Roth; and a guest tuba soloist, Bercine Billig of Mauch Chunk High School. The band was directed by Mr. Harry Newhard and Mr. Edwin J. Berg. During the program Mr. Berg, who made a few remarks, unexpectedly called to the podium Mr. Henry A. Soltys, the instrumental director of Central Junior High School, Allentown, to direct the band in a special encore number. Many of us recalled Mr. Soltys as the speaker at the dinner January 17. Graduation will again give to future bands and orchestras the following players: James Mtighan, Earl Reimer, Fred Gougher, Paul Bachman, cornetists; Bette Grammes. Alvin Frantz, saxophones; Robert Anderson, trombone; Shirley Strohl, glockenspiel; Carl Reinert, Jules Budinetz, color bearers; and Julia Bodo, drum major. —Bette Grammes The Senior Class Play “Truth On a Holiday,” a far e in three acts, was written by Glenn Hughes. Alice, a student in abnormal psychology, is required to write a term paper concerning the study of an abnormal person. In a moment of rashness she rhinks of her father as a megalomaniac. After many embarrassing situations the question is set tied and her father achieves his political office. Not only were there complications in the play itself, but also back stage, for Harriet Bartholomew, the original Mrs. Barrett Barrett tell ill on the day of the play. The loss was soon under control when Dorothy Anglestein cheerfully agreed to act as substitute. THE CAST Hildegard Mrs. Quint Congenial Louise ....

As the audience was seated to orchestral music we found ourselves on the platform facing the many friends to hear us. Lois Ernest gave a fine rendition of “Jane” from “Seventeen” by Booth Tark-ington; William Mackenzie held our admiration with Dumas’“The Three Musketeers”; Jean Miller presented Dickerson’s “Whither Thou Goest” until we thought of our spiritual life; Robert Bradley revealed civilized changes in Maxwell Anderson’s “High Tor”; Jean Butz said “Let Brotherly Love Continue by Leota Hulse Black; Charles Hellie dramatically rendtred “They Grind Exceedingly Small” by Williams; Marian Mager humorously read The Cat Came Back”, and Richard Yale said He Knew Lincoln” hy Tarbell. While judges decided the winners, our own Mary Jane Eichler played several flute solos, and a Junior Girls’ Ensemble sang. The judges awarded first prize of ten dollars each, donated by the Alumni Association to Marian Mager and Charles Hellie. The second prizes of five dollars each donated by Mr. Edward Royer and Mr. H. A. Miller, were won by Jean Butz and Richard Yale. The other four contestants each received two dollars and fifty cents from the Hi-Y who showed a splended spirit of co-operation. — Lois Ernest Mask and Wig Club GLORIA MILLER President DOROTHY ANGELSTEIN Vice- President MARY MEIHOFFER Secretary and Treasurer Lights - Action • Camera! The previous mentioned lights and camera maybe missing; but one will find plenty of action in our senior high dramatic club. Our club is one of the new and I might add successful clubs started this year under the capable leadership of Miss Madolyn Tucker. As far as dramatics go, our club seems to have successfully conquered everything including short plays, original plays, the art of make-up, monologues, diologues, still-movies, movie reviews quiz programs, gossip concerning the stage and screen, charades, and amateur programs. The “Mask and Wig” club entertained in numerous assembly programs, and by means of property and make-up committees was able to produce successfully the play That Awful Letter.” The story of a supposedly “back-woods” cousin, who, in the end, turns out to be more sophisticated than one might imagine, the main plot centering around a letter. Our club is composed of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, namely: Hattie Hocht, Ruth Kline, Margaret Prisrash, Olga Pacala, Margaret Roth, Shirley Roth, Margaret Shimkanon, Anne Keppel, Pauline Overcash, June Schneider, Theresa Stranzl, Leah Wieder, Dorothy Angelstein, Hatrier Barrholemew, Rachael Fenst-ermaker, Althea Hess, Irene Heiny.

The club is comprised of the sixteen girls having the highest comparative scores in all activities. The purpose of the club is to supply leaders in the intra-mural sports in which the girls participate. In doing so, the girls also gain an invaluable knowledge of more leisure time activities. The girls have evening meetings and social meetings. They also have a large part in the Gymnastic Exhibition. Throughout the year, the girls have enjoyed at different times, bowling, basketball, 'ce skating, hikes, ping pong, baseball, and volley ball. All of these sports have been of extreme interest to all concerned and aside from being just sports, have given the girls important lessons in poise and grace. With the coming of graduation, this year, the association will be losing nine members, whose places will be taken by the underclass girls whose athletic score is next in line. We wish to bid farewell to these Seniors and give our most hearty thanks to our supervisor and friend, Miss Verna Dotter. —Mary Laubach Debate Club After a sabbat'cal year. Mr. Harry Tinkcom returned and reorganized a debating club of juniors and sophomores to work up an experienced group for next year’sseason. Although several postponements were made in the beginning of this year, the debators had a very active season. The whole club participated in the preliminary debates of the question. Resolved: That the Federal Government should control and operate all Radio Broadcasting in the United States. Then came a period of preparation before the official season. From the club members the following teams were formed off: Affirmative: Russel Bodnyk, Richard Yale, and Wallace Zacharchuk; Negative: George Hudnick, William Hess, Joel Roth, and Wallace Zacharchuk. The official question for this year was. Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate Railroads. Northampton participated in four non-decisional debates, the Second Annual Lehigh Valley Debate Tournament, the Bethlehem Forum, and the Forensic Debate Contests. In the tournament our teams were eliminated at the end of five rounds, but much valuable experience was gained. In the Forensic League Northampton’s teams were defeated by Tamaqua. The Bethlehem Forum was a new experience to Joel Roth, Wallace Zacharchuk, and Richard Yale,but that did not hinder them. Next year Mr. Tinkcom will have a rather experienced group who will give Northampton something to be proud of in debating. The members of this womanless and also officerless club are: Richard Yale, George Hutnick, Wallace Zacharchuk, Joel Roth, William Mackenzie, William Hess, Monroe Roth, Russell Bodnyk. - Richard Yale Tri-Hi-Y Club BETTY LYNN President CONSTANCE RUPP Secretary DORIS RICKER Vice-President THELMA YOUNG Treasurer The present Tri-Hi Y, formerly the Girl Reserves, is one of the outstanding clubs in the high school, composed of twenty-eight members, chosen from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. Miss Huldah Brown, a new-comer to our faculty, was installed as our first honorary member. Many business and social events were enjoyed. We sponsored school dances, had dances of our own, enjoyed ice skating and roller skating parties, held a doggie-roast, and anxiously looked forward to our annual trip. We changed our charter during the last semester. Now we are an official branch of the Y. W. C. A., a sister club of our Hi-Y group of boys. Miss Arlene Kistler is our advisor; the rest of our members are: Seniors—Betty Lynn, Jeanne Newhard, Constance Rupp, Dorothy Anglestein, Doris Ricker, Thelma Young, Viola Jones, Alice Houston, Jeanne Seltzer, Betty Grammes, Gloria Miller, Elizabeth Miklus, Ethel Rehrig; Juniors Francis Eldredge, Marian Mager, Dorothea Smith, Phyllis Diehl, Janet Fehnel, Mary Perdick, Anne Masluk, Lois Ernest, Pauline Overcash, Elizabeth Miltenberger, Mary Jane Eichler; Sophomores — Janice McCarty, Edith Stangl, Ruth Kline, Marie Solr.

Officers of the organization are President, Fred Gougher and Secretary-Treasurer, Wilfred Kosman. — Fred Gougher Fishing Club This Fishing Club, a group of twelve, under the supervision of Mr. Michael Lisetski, has definetly assured us that we have such an interesting club that it couldn’t be surpassed. Many interesting meetings were held every Friday, in which discussions of various specits of fish. methods of fishing, different types of line rigging, fish laws, and different knots used by fishermen were considered. So that we could practice what was preached, the supervisor arranged fishing trips at least once a month. According to reports the fishing trips have proved quire successful. - Carl Rinker Music Appreciation This club is composed of fifteen members and meets every Wednesday under the direction of Mr. Snyder. It was organized for the purpose of learning to appreciate the higher types of music. The group was told about Famous Composers and Famous Compositions both new and old. The members were also taught the fundamentals of harmony. Songs were played by Mr. Snyder and the members of the club. The Music Appreciation Club has given to the members a new outlook toward the value of music and has enabled them to appreciate music of the better type. - Robert R.

On November 24. 1939 we received our certificate of membership. Seventeen girls and their advisor Miss Eleanor Roberts arc in touch with the news of similar clubs through bulletins and correspondence that carry on an exchange of fun and business. At our meetings we analyze personality traits; the kind of clothing we can wear well, the effective hair do,” the kind of impression we make upon those we meet for the first time, and how to build up our redeeming features.

The Senior Nigh School Printing Department The Senior High School Printing Department, under the direction of Mr. Alvin N. Fcgely, teaches High School students in the fundamentals of Printing. The simple study of printing is useful in a person’s everyday life. He learns different traits and characteristics not only of printing but also of composition. The many jobs from the administration, various school activities, the newspaper, Amptennian, etc. keep every available member working at top speed. Setting type, proof reading, assembling articles, and running the press are the continued duries. The two presses are operated by seniors who have had two or three years of experience in this type of work. It is the duty of every apprentice to obey orders given by the teacher. And if the student is diligent enough, he can earn a livelihood by getting a side job to earn his way through college or entering the newspaper work. The Printing Department prints all the tickets for plays, football games, concerts, and speaking events. The Amptennian,” the Concrete Courier,” our high school paper; and all literature pretaining to the school, teachers, and pupils is printed. To the seniors who shall be graduated we express our appreciation for their inspiration and leadership. —Warren Miller Forum Club As an outgrowth of numerous forums in Problems of Democracy classes, a league of five schools- Nazareth, Bangor, Hellertown, East Stroudsburg, and Northampton was formed to meet in what became known as the Interscholasric forums. Since this type of discussion is one of the best stimulants for quick thinking and correct expression, it is made avaiable to all Seniors who ate at all interested. Up to this year our forums were limited to the classroom, but this year we left the room for the auditorium. Many of us were shaky-kneed when we first got up, but all of us now feel almost as much at home behind a rostrum as we do at the dinner table. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Stewart, a fine leader and an all-round good fellow, we discussed many types of problems, among which were “What Democracy means to me,” “Should Roosevelt Have a Third Term,” “UnAmericanism or Civil Liberties,” What can be done to handle the problems of Boy and Girl Relationships,” and “Should there be Student Government in High Schools.” The students who took part in the forums were: NAZARETH Willard Eldredgc Earl Reimer Lester James NORTHAMPTON Betty Grammes Carolyn Nicholas Doris Jaroby HELLERTOWN Jean Seltzer Paul Strohl Mary Laubarh BANGOR EAST STROUDSBURG Lester James Warren Fenstermaker Betty Grammes Joseph Shina Louis Szukics Paul Strohl Appreciation Since all good things must come to an end, we pause on this the last page with one privilege and pleasure left -• that is - to thank every one for their help in making the Amptennian of 1940 a success. The staff has worked hard to “come out on top” and we believe we have. But all the work the staff could have done alone would have been only a “drop in the bucket” so to speak. Without the help of Miss Arline Kistler in the editorial department, Mr. Alvin N. Fegely in the printing department, and Mr. Ira L. Sheaffer in the business department we could never have succeeded. To the innumerable friends, classmates, and underclassmen who assisted, we give a vote of thanks for all that this volume connotes.
