Accent Un CHARLES H. BILHEIMER In a characteristic present day pose. in direct contrast to the symphonyys measure upon measure and strain upon strain of heau- tifui meiody emheiiished with fuii, rich chords, is the simpie, iittie folic song. Passed on from generation to generation, it increases in popu- larity and appeai untii it more than crescendoes the symphony in universality. As unpretentious and unassuming as the ioiic song, yet equaiiy as ioved and just as fa- miiiar, is Mr. Biiheimer, who, in our opinion, has contrihuted the outstanding meiody to this composition.

He has played a dominant roie in educating at ieast three gen- erations of youthful Northamptonians for life, for some time ago he hegan instructing the grandchildren of his early students.

It was in 1899 that, following his graduation from Kutztown State Teachers coiiege, he first stepped into a classroom at the Stemton school, iater the Third ward school and forerunner of the Franklin building. In 1904 he tooic up new
