Presenting the Northampton High School (Jmptennian Mow rd Luckonbach, Editor-in-Chi ( MPTENNIAN Northampton Senior High School Northampton, Pennsylvania 1942 The Origin of Pennsylvania German Art aONSIDER THE LILIES how they grow; they toil nor, they spin not; and yet 1 say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. From the mild-mannered brave young man who less than two thousand years ago walked our Syrian hills asking his followers to consider the lilies how they grow,” there comes the meaning of Pennsylvania German art. He asked them to see in a growing flower the magnificent symbol of the unexpressed longings of their hearts. This sort of symbolism has an almost resistless attraction. It has led people of winged minds to speculate with varying results upon the meaning of Pennsylvania German Art. These pieces of Pennsylvania German Art, long of deep interest to specialists have of late gained wider appeal by being collected in public museums and by private citizens. All sorts of theories have been advanced to explain their curious devices and motifs, but most of these speculations have failed to send their roots into the substantial soil of convincing fact. Real evidence has tailed to appearand the time has now come for a new and fresh approach. These motifs have been given many interpretations. Some people have said that over flowers, birds and stars are signs of “hexerei” but they forget the obvious fact that Pennsylvania was not the colony where witches were hanged. Others have been gleeful in claiming them as significant phallic symbols but in this case Pennsylvania German art, as the present writer sees it, was a religious art with roots in the Christian mystical tradition. The descendants of this tradition —whether born of the flesh, or unborn of the spirit came to Pennsylvania to seek in its patterned hills the “lily life.” They come to this experiment of “English Mennonites” to build a land where they could see the lilies bloom and smell their everlasting fragrance. “For the rose in the rime of the lily shall blossom in May when the winter is past, for blindness to the wicked and for light to the seeing.” This from the humble cobbler of Gorlin, Jacob Boehme. And those who seek an organized, systematic scheme of thought in the writings of this Silesian peasant will see no meaning in such a statement. But those who respect the genius of the folk soul, who are not misled by the vain world’s idle pride will feel the writer’s spirituality.With his medieval sense of allegory and symbolism, with his peasant’s love of poetic images, with his Christian faith and love and hope he tells his story. This: that Jesus Christ!the Rose) shall come again here on earth when life is perfect!when the lily blooms), on the fragrant springtime of the paradisiacal new birth in the heart of man there comes the symbolism of Pennsylvania German art. Yes, a blooming lily!

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. Dedication To Mr. Edwin Berg, this versatile teacher, in German, English, and Music, with a leadership of patient, poignant understanding and obligation we, the class of 1942, dedicate this Amptennian. To The Class of 1942: The immortal poet, Schiller, has very truthfully said in his drama, “William Tell”: “Frueh uebt sich was ein Meister werden will”(He prepares early who would become a master). One objective we hope to attain out of the present world conflict is to strengthen the foundations of the future of democracy. That means that a glorious future is in store for the youth of today who prepares himself. Your Alma Mater has given you a fine start. Continue to improve yourself mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually so that each one of you will be master in whatever you undertake. Congratulations and best of wishes to all of you. Cordially yours, Edwin J. Berg NORTHAMPTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA Office of the Superintendent Greetings to the CUiss of 1942: You are graduating into a world which presents many difficult problems as well as many opportunities for real service to humanity.Humanity is passing through n great crisis.Thecall is for young people who are healthy, self-reliant, well educated, and thoroughly loyal to the best tradition of our civilization. We confidently expect that each of you will be able to meet these requirements, for this is vital to the security of our way of life. Sincerely, Superintendent Ed.D. Superintendent NORTHAMPTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA Office of the Principal Greetings to the Class of 1942: You are graduating at a time when the world is at war, and things are very uncertain, but this should not keep you from making your choice of a vocation. When one is making his choice of a vocation, he should he prepared to consider at least two questions, and find intelligent answers for them. One question is: Am I prepared to begin to do the things necessary for success? Another is: Is the thing contemplated worth doing? Many young men and women rely too much upon the advice of others in this important matter of making a decision. Of course, it is desirable that you solicite the views of older and more experienced persons, for such information will often help you to make up your mind. In all probability, the most trustworthy guides to follow in choosing your vocation are your likes and dislikes. Certainly it is true that if you dislike your work, you will not advance far in it. You cannot possibly compete, other things being equal, with the one who is in the same work with you and who likes his work. True satisfaction and happiness in life comes from working at the kind of work one likes best. Best wishes for your future success. Principal ra L. Sheaffer B.A., M.A. Principal Class Poem T’S TIME to part— But we’re loathe to go; Our hopes say yes. And our hearts say no. We’ll honor you e’er, O Beloved old School, You’ve taught us wisdom, A priceless jewel. To us you’ve Been A potent inspiration; Of all of our triumphs You’ve Been the foundation. Now we go forth To a full new life. Joyous with conquests. And salted with strife. All of our wishes We hope to fulfill; We’ll follow our Path With faith and good will. We’ll keep on our way And ever we’ll fight For the joy of our due, Of libertv—of right! Uncertain of destiny. We almost dread What will occur In our life ahead; But still we feel We’ll live victorious. Then farewell to school— To a life that was glorious. —Shirley Roth Class Song N GILDED WINGS, our days have passed. Now the time has come, at last, To bid adieu, dear school, to you; Thus, good-bye from forty- two! Our torch of trust in you shall burn. From good deeds we’ll never turn. We’ll make you proud of w'hat we do, Living truths to stand for you. Within us, you’ve inspired one aim. Which has not been taught in vain; A motto that is fine and true, Words of wisdom:“Think Things Through”. Delightful thoughts of you shan’t fade; From you gifts can’t be repaid. We pledge our love, and honor, too. Rose and Silver, God bless you. Words by Music by Shirley Roth Elizabeth Stever Joel Roth Jack Hohl Board of Education Morris D. Wahl Howard Raubenhold J.

We sincerely hope you will grasp the larger opportunities of a larger world into which you are now going. —Howard G. Raubenhold, President The Faculty ALVIN N. FEGELY, B.S.

Since he is interested mainly in airplane building, one would suspect his following the field of aviation after having been graduated. Collectors C'lub, Model Airplanes, Mechanical Drawing. FERNE M.

JOSEPH FARKAS 1692 Poplar Street January 31 Joe There’s a lot of Huckleberry Finn in Joseph and a lot of Cowboy too, for frequently Joseph absents himself from society, fishing pole in one hand, a western story in the other, to relax and enjoy his own company on the quiet banks of a stream. There comes a rime however, when he needs return to the noise of civilization. Carpenter s tools then replace the fishing pole in one hand and a drafrman’s ruler and blue print replace the western story in the other hand. He wields these tools well.

As one of our social lions, Jimmy is at home on the dance floor and at pink tea; as an actor, he is hard to equal; as an athlete,hisswimmingis note-worthy, his figure skating unusual, his football prowess admirable, his bowling scores enviable. Since Jimmy considers it impossible to enjoy idleness unless it can be contrasted with plenty of work, he manages to taste of each. His work, although fitful, is well-done; his relaxation, gay and exhilarating. Don't forget, Jimmy, there really is a happy medium between work and play.

We met with things which were new and strange, but acclimation to our new environment was not at all slow. Sophomores were soon found in many of the organizations and activities of the school. The sophomore class has contributed many to the field of sports, and we have confidence in our future teams. Music had its sophomore representatives, for several of our number attended the District Orchestra and took part in the Forensic Contests. We had our battles to fight, but with perseverance we have won many victories, and we are all the better for it. It has helped us to grow mentally and socially. Now our aim is to move onward and higher using our mistakes as challenges to do better.

With bur few veterans remainit g of the team that captured the 1940 Lehigh Valley Interscholastic League title, Coach Al Erdosy had a tough job placing a formidable eleven on the field. Harrassed by injuries, the jitters, and tumbles, the black and orange did not seem to find and maintain its accustomed punch and stride. Despite the mediocre record of four games won to five games lost, the Kids never relaxed their efforts to play smart ball. When the last whistle sounded, they realized all too well how valuable are strategy, clear headedness, team work, and that certain will to win. Yes, we bowed to the Rough Riders this year—bur there’s always a next year. Coach Erdosy was ably assisted on the gridiron practice field by Mike Lisetski, Doc Lerch, and Tom Ronemus. The seniors who played their final game for N.H.S. are: Anthony, Balliet, Beck, Beltz, Barczy, Geosits, Hluschak, Kochenash, Koren, Luperspeck, Shirk, and Spengler. FOOTBALL SCORES N H.S.

This year our team was handicapped in two ways, namely: no varsity holdovers from last year and lack of height. For any team there are many obstacles to overcome before it becomes victorious, and handicaps proved too much for a season’s development. The adage, the bad must be taken with the good, reflects on our team, for the losses were taken with the wins as only true sportsmen could have taken them. In a short time Doc” Lerch whipped into shape a team small in stature but mighty in spirit. The starting lineup after practices were begun was com posed of Frich, high scorer of our boys, Potak who alternated with Bennett at the forward positions. John Demchyk captured the center position, while the guard positions were ably played by C. Luckenbach and Captain Steve FUushak. With no individual stars, team work was the combination whereby our team went tin to victory. In league competition we won seven and lost seven. The entire team was composed of: Captain S. Hluschak, J. Demchyk, P. Sinatore, E. Uherchik, W. Potak, C. Luckenbach, R. Spongier, S. Frisch, A. Bennett, D. Wetherhold, and D. Flelko. BASKETBALL SCORES N.H.S.

The team this year was comprised of: M. Kasziski, G. Magochy, W. Potra-ko, S. Paly, F. Yanik, J. Helko, A. Krill, A. Minnich, S. Tusky, M. Tanzosh, J. Lahovski, J. Milisits. Managers: J.

The Northampton High School baseball team of 1942 behind the coaching of Mike Lisetski are s'riving to uphold the fine record of previous years. They have set their minds to winning the championship, which is nothing new t Coach Mike Lisetski, having so many times in the past coached his team to championships. The club behind the able pitching of Steve Hluschak and Metro Helko have a good statt in the league thus far with record of four wins and two losses. The team is almost entirely composed of underclassmen, which means that the team of next year will have fairly good material. Christoff, a freshman catcher, has already seen action and proves to be a promising asset to future Northampton High School teams. There will only be six players leaving the club this year. They areas follows; Steve Hluschak, out-standing pitcher for three years; joe Tanzosh, a slugging second basemen; Joe Barczy, capable outfielder; Steve Luipersbeck; Pete Kochenash. and Bill Spengler, outfielders. The following will be back next year.Art Bennet, and Eddie Christoff, two capable catchers; Metro Helko, an outstanding speed ball pitcher; Bing Miller, a natural for first base; Henry Holata,all around infielder; Joe Maslany, capable shortstop; Luckenbach and Sharkazy, two outstanding third base men; Bahnuik,Frisch, Magochy, Ifkovits, all capable outfielders. With a bunch of boys like these coming back next year, Mike Lisetski will undoubtedly develop another championship team. Cheerleaders Cheerleading, although surprising, can be classed as a science. Too many people think that a cheerleader is only little more than an idiot who waves his arms, contorts his body, and acts like a madman. But, as is often the case, people do not realize that the cheerleader is and must be one of the most sane and level-headed individuals present at any athletic contest. The Science on art of cheerleading may be taken up under three general classifications; personality of the leader, his form of mechanics, and his knowledge of mob psychology. As may be easily seen, each classification bears directly upon the other two and the cheerleaders must have the necessary qualifications and ability to cover all of them. It is readily seen that the most important factor in the make up of a cheer leader is the man himself, his personality and his general manner. The mo tions can be learned by practice and application and the handling of crowds best accomplished by organization. Of the four senior cheerleaders, three will be lost to the squad of next year through graduation in June. These cheerleaders: Eleanor Young, Geraldine Moyer, and Joyce Fenstermaker have acquired the position of cheerleading by starting from the bottom ar d working up. If it has been as enjoyable for you to cooperate with me as it has been for us to perform the task, it gives us the pleasure of self-satisfaction. Much originality was put forth through the motions and words of new yells. We feel assured that in future years a good squad will be produced with cooperation and the appreciated guidance of Miss Dotter.

The Amptenian Staff members have worked hard to make this book an outstanding memory of their school years. Members of the art class under the direction of Mr. Josef Gutekunst have carried out the “Pennsylvania German” theme in division pages and in other suggestions.

The competent cooperation between the members of this club has not only boasted the Hi-Y to heights never before attained, but also put into use the principles for which the Hi-Y stands. As one of the most active groups in the school the Hi-Y has accomplished many tasks such as their Chapel Programs, their campaign for Defense bonds and other noteworthy activities. In the social field the Hi-Y shines by its colorful dances and its exciting bowling matches. All in all the Hi-Y is one club well fitted for all phases of life. In parting we Seniors wish to thank Mr. Robert Stewart, our faculty leader, and best friend, for his willing cooperation in helping to make the Hi-Y what it is to-day.

Clickety - Click Silver Needle Clubs The knitting and crocheting clubs under the leadership of Miss Nellie Henry have been quite active in both work and social activities. Crocheted doilies, beanies, and handkerchief borders, knitted sweaters, scarfs, mittens, and socks increased in size during the club periods on Tuesday and Wednesday. A display of this handiwork was exhibited in the main hall at the latter part of the term. A roller skating party and a dance made up the social affairs of these clubs. The officers of the Clickety Click Club are Alda Wiedet, president; and Barbara Stocker, secretary-treasurer. Annie Korutz is president and Hedwig Horvath is secretary-treasurer of the Silver Needle Club. Nimble Thimble Club I’ve finished my pillow-case.” Do you like this color combination ?” I must buy some more thread,” — all these are familiar sayings from the Nimble Thimble Club under the direction of Miss Marion Laubach. This club, although one of the minor ones, is very active. During the month of November they had a roller skating party at the Paradise Roller Arena in Coplay where we discovered that most of the girls preferred sitting on the floor to skating on it. On February the thirteenth a Valentine’s party was held at Emma Strohl’s home where the girls escorted their “beaux.” Woman of the Year” was the picture they enjoyed at their theater party during the month of March. Before the close of the year they expect to have many more good times. The officers are President, Loretta Andrews; Vice President, Betty Deemer; Secretary, Jean Nicholas; Treasurer, Doris Hess. Other members are Lorraine Deisher, Hilda Stewart, Doris Spengler, Vera Spengler, Marie Solt, Emma Strohl, Elizabeth Humphrey, Dorothy Spangler, Jean Deibert, Betty Jane Brightbill, Elizabeth Laub, Margaret Pierce, Ella Dieter, Mae Frable, Marguerite Breing, Evelyn Focht, Anna Pearl Knauss and Doris Leporis. —Loretta Andrews, President Senior Class Play This year, Why Worry,” a farce of three acts, was selected as our class play. After several try outs, the cast was finally chosen by the very capable coaches Miss Marion Laubach and Miss Miriam Meighan. The cast was comprised of the following students: James Koren as Bill, the vacuum-cleaner salesman; Margaret Roth as Mrs. Dalrymple who followed the traditions of Shakespeare; Viola, Mrs. Dalrymple’s daughter was played by Elizabeth Stever; Wallace Zacharchuk, Hamlet—another member of the Dalrymple clan; Tokay, the Chinese cook of the Dalrymple household, impersonated by Edgar Balliet, Joel Roth the apt characterization of Jerry Holt, the kindly lawyer; Mary Hudick. Doris, the Baby” willed to the Dalrymples; Loretta Andrews as Aunt Gertrude, gangrene to the Dalrymples; Jack Hohl, of the not-very-intel-ligent policeman-Mike; nine-year old Ophelia Dalrymple, portrayed by Shirley Roth. Edward Shirk and Patsy Sinatore— “the men (?) behind the scenes”-- that is, the members of the stage crew, did a superior job in making the presentation a smoother and more efficient play. After many rehearsals, this venture had a successful outcome, due, perhaps to the philosophy of the well-known superstition: “ an unfavorable dress rehearsal terminates in an excellent play.” —Shirley Roth Junior Speaking Contest February 19, 1942 Eight o’clock N.U.S. Auditorium Curtain Opens Eight Proteges First: Burton Longenbach depicted Gordon Morris’ Beyond the Last Mile Second: Kathryn Wolf rendered Leota Blacks’ The Widow’s Mites Third: Richard Gross delivered Franklin D.

Even though much isn’t thought of it, I wonder what it would be like without a little bit of music during our assembly programs. Under the leadership of director Harry Newhard and his assistant director Edwin Berg, the orchestra does its parr in school activities by performing in the annual orchestra concert, assembly programs. Junior Speaking Contests. Senior Class Plays, Lehigh Township commencement exercises, and patriotic movements such as the graduation of air-raid wardens. On May 1 the orchestra in collaboration with the Mixed Chorus and Glee Club presented its annual concert, which drew music lovers from their haunts to listen to a splendid musical. Those of the graduation class who are leaving us are as follows: Elizabeth Smith, piano; Warren Miller, trumpet; Russel Bodnyk, clarinet; Flo yd Dec h, saxophone; Sterling Keefer, trumpet. Russell Bodnyk The Band Above witness one of the most spectacular organizations of our school. The High School Band.

In bidding farewell, we band members wish to express our sincere thanks to the Exchange Club for our banquet; anyone who may have aided to the band in any way; to all teachers for their enduring cooperation; and last but not least, to two of the most understanding persons with whom the band members came in contact—Ed Btrg and Harry Newhard. Good-bye all, and here’s hoping the surviving members will give their full cooperation and make the Band more outstanding than ever before. —We Seniors Chess Club When clubs started this term, Mr. Robert Stewart made inquiries as to how many students would be interested in having a chess club. Although few students knew anything about the game, a good number became interested when the fundamentals were explained. When we all had obtained a fair amount of skill in the game, an elimination tournament was held to determine the champion of the club. This tournament, open only to members who had not played before the club was formed, was won by Stephen Haas. The faculty advisor is Mr. Robert Stewart.

Mechanical Drawing Defense-minded as we are today, who dare say that girls do not enjoy reading blue prints, working with rulers and protractors or drawing house-plans? This club is living proof that the intricacies of the drawing boa d and its allied tools fascinate the girls as well as the boys. (Note: our female contingent includes Judith Guss, Doris Adam, Madeline Mack, and Elaine Newhard.) Mr. Dotter, the guiding spirit of the club, checks on the truth of the completed projects. For who is there who would like to own a house whose walls do not meet at the corners? The club members, as a whole, are guided along practical lines. They plan to use their acquired knowledge and skill in mechanical drawing in various channels- in drafting, in civil service, in engineering, in carpentry and the like. Printing Department The print shop is one of the busiest and most cheerful departments in the high school. The odor of the gasoline, the humming of the press motors, the planing of forms, and setting of type soon causes a person to adapt himself to the environment and life of a printer. Each year the print shop acquires a number of new printers. Although the work seems dreary and dull in the beginning, it gradually gains the interest of everyone. By constant working one can soon acquire the traits of the art, and in a short time is considered just one of the print shop gang.” The many jobs, completed in the print shop, reveal how well the students enjoy their selected pastime. Through graduation the following senior printers will be lost; Jack Hohl, Howard Luckenbach. Warren Miller, Russell Bodnyk, Wallace Zacharchuk, Betty Deemer, Julia Stednitz, Mary Turick, Elizabeth Smith, Katherine Kondikoff. Emma Strohl. Elizabeth Humphrey, and Mary Demczyszyn. We give thanks to our fine advisor, Mr. Alvin N. Fegely, who has made our life in the print shop a merry one. Under his guidance the print shop with its future printers will continue the fine record already established. —Warren Miller Girls Athletic Association Once again the girl athletes have carried out the traditions of the Girl’sAth-letic Association, forming one of the most active organizations in our High School. Consisting of twenty three members,the Association participates in such activities as bowling, ice-skating, basketball soft ball, tennis, badminton, ping-pong, hiking and dancing. These sports give our girls the grace and lighr-footedness they should possess. Leaving with our graduating class are eight invaluable members of our band only to be filled with able Juniors and Sophomores. In bidding farewell to our Seniors we send our most hearty thanks to our Supervisor and courageous friend. Miss Dotter. The officers who served during the senior year were: President, Annie Jean Laubach; Vice President, Emma Strohl; Secretary, Marv Radokovits, Treasurer, Helen Yastum. Mixed Chorus Thisvear our Mixed Chorus again proved itself worthy of much admiration and praise. By their blending of light, rippling melodies interwoven with shades of dark rhythmic tones, this gioup of musicians thrilled another large audience at their annual Spring Concert. The Concert was given on May 1 with the combined Mixed Choru-, Glee Club and Orchestra giving a splendid rendition of “Land of Hope and Glory” as the high point of the program. The guest soloist was fourteen year-old Mary Monsour of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, who is of French-Syrian parentage. Her lovelv coloratura soprano voice touched every one’s heart. The capable director of the chorus was M'ss Miri m Meighan and the pianist was Anna Jane Schisler. The personnel included: Soprano—Caroline Bamford, Grace Gehret, Dolores Goedeck, Sophie Helko, Hattie Hocht, Margaret King, Natalie Kohler, Grace Nicholas, Annabelle Rehrig, Matilda Smith, Betty Snyder, Elizabeth Stever, Irene Sylvester, Doris Yaple, Martha Varsura.

Under the direction of Mr. Josef Gutekunst we have tried to fill the Amptennian with interesting designs that will “catch the eye’’. In keeping with the Pennsylvania German theme chosen by the Amptennian Staff, we have used authentic flower designs so characteristic of Pennsylvania German artandfolklore. This project has given us experience in the application of art to the commercial reproductive processes. The staff includes: Alfred Beck, Doris Adam, William Hess, Judith Guss, Burton Longenbach, and Emil Mazur. Appreciation This page, appearing last, but not least, in this book, is an essential page.
