NANCY REHRIG Editor LOVEY DEMCHYK Assistant Editor CLAIRE WARD Literary ana Research Editor In the picture above you will find the entire student body of the Alliance High School in the year 1902. There were four seniors: top row, second from left, Mary Howell; eighth from left, rmy Scholl ; ninth from left, Edna W ' illman: and front roii fifth from left, Harry Rice. Dear Seniors: When I read your letter asking for pictures and data of the Class of 1902, I had a hearty laugh. In the light of present day graduation habits, it is hard to realize that no picture of the class was taken — not even individual pictures. The yearbook did not come into existence until some years later. As for the facult) ' members at that time — the entire faculty consisted of Mr. Abner H. Buck! The Class consisted of four members : Amy Scholl, Edna Willman, Mary Howell, and my- self. Graduation exercises were held in the Holy Trinity Church, with Amy as valedic- torian and yours truly as salutatorian. Class colors were Nile green and white. Two members of our class, Edna Willman and Mary Howell, have long since passed on. The high school then consisted of one room on the second floor of the Central Building, which also housed all other grades. Numbered grades had not yet come into existence — primary, advanced primary, secondary, etc., was the method of classification. While the Class of 1902 was the first gradu- ating class, our diplomas were issued under the name of Allen Township High School, because, as I remember it, the actual con- stitution of the borough had not taken place as yet. Parenthetically, it might interest the grad- uates of your modern N.H.S. to know that the scholastic rating of the high school was good enough in 1902 for me to enter college that Fall with only a few conditions, which were easily made up. I am sorry that it is not possible to give you the pictures which you requested . . . My best wishes to you for a successful Senior year. Sincerely, Harry Rice.

S. — fifty years well spent in the educating of free citizens for a free society. Progress of time leaves a definite mark on us all and time has brought changes to N. H. S. Through the wise stewardship of our leaders and faculty members, through the local support of the Alumni and the community, these changes have been good ones. The members of the 1951 Amptennian Staff are proud to be your guides as we turn the pages back through the years to pay tribute to good friends, to record changes that come with time, and to re-awaken happy memories. We feel, too, that it is reasonable to prophesy that fifty years from now a new class of Seniors will have the greater pleasure of celebrating a centennial For N. H. S. will continue to stand the severe and never-ending test of time. Her destiny rests with us, her living Alumni, and we shall remain faithful. Nancy Rehrig Editor in Chief A CKNO WLEDGMENTS The 1951 Amptennian Staff extends sincere thanks to the many friends who have helped to make our yearbook possible. As we progressed in compiling our annual, two special problems confronted us. First, we had to collect historical data for 50 Years at N. H. S. Second, we hoped to launch our book on a new financial system. Our first problem was solved with the help of many interested Alumni and friends, who so willingly assisted us with our book of memories. Our grateful thanks go to them and to our commercial, professional, and personal patrons who so gra- ciously adapted themselves to our new financial system, thereby making our book possible. As you turn the pages of the 1951 Amptennian, may you find pleasant and happy memories of 50 Years at N. H. S.

HALLER m PW. TROXELL HR. H.T BILHEIhER nR. R F OEIBERT Lawmakers . . . Past and Present On April 28, 1902, six educators met and formed the first School Board in the Borough of Alliance. These men were Mr. P. W. Trox- ell, president; Mr. H. T. Bilheimer, secretary; Mr. E. T. Diefenderfer, treasurer; Mr. R. F. Deibert, Mr. C. W. Haller, and Mr. William Reinert. Thus began the history of the North- ampton School Board. In the light of present day costs, it is al- most impossible to believe the items recorded in those first board minutes. With the per- mission of our administrators, we take you back for a peep at the good old days. Here are excerpts from the first Board ' s records. June 2, 1902. It was voted that the teach- ers ' salaries should be fifty-five dollars per month for the intermediate grade; fifty dol- lars for grammar school; thirty-eight for sec- ondary; and thirty-six for primary. June 3, 1902. A special meeting was called to set the tax rate at three mills school tax and two mills building tax. It was also decided to change geography l)ooks but to retain the old readers. June 25, 1902. A motion was made and car- ried to equip the Alliance School (now Cen- tral Building) with 112 new students ' desks and new teachers ' desks at a total cost of $431.90. July 2, 1902. A motion was made to allow children from Allen Township to attend Bor- ough Schools at eighty cents each per month. At this time the principal ' s salary was set at $70 per month. Yes indeed, times have changed! Other mo- tions which caught our attention were: that thirteen diplomas be purchased at a cost not to exceed $10; that the janitor purchase a lawn mower not to exceed $5; that all schools be fumigated and all books in homes infected with smallpox be burned by health officers; that the Central Building children clean their shoes before entering the building. Page 8 As our town grew, so did the work of the school hoard. The four room addition to the Central Buildini; was conn)lcled in OctoJicr, 1902, at a cost of $6,555. Incidentally, the foundation of the first half of the huilding was made from stones taken from an old barn. Our present high school was completed May 1. 19in. at a cost of SyO.OOU. As early as 1911 our liigli school reached first class recog- nition. Bv 1918. music supervision, medical inspection, manual training, and domestic science were inaugurated. The new junior high school was completed in 1927. This huilding cost $275,000 and housed the new gymnasium. Looking hack upon those first School Board meetings, it seems that we have accomplished much in our fiftv years of progress. We owe many thanks to those loyal citizens who served as school directors and manv thanks to our present Board memliers who find that running the schools these days is ])ig business. We know our present directors will help us to grow as N. H. S. changes it name to N. A. J. H. S. Standing: Russel Becker, Paul Bacbniaii, Howard G. Spanitz. Sealed: Ralph E. Bartholomew, Treasurer; President; Claude E. Troxell, First Vice-President; We are pleased to report that the North- ampton Area Joint School Board is operating very successfully. This is an important for- ward step in public education in this area. All projects planned last year have been completed. Among these are the installation of new seats and other improvements in the auditorium, renovations in the gymnasium, the roofing of the Franklin Building, the paving of the W olf and Washington play- grounds, and extensive improvements in the Wolf Building auditorium. The Board is now considering the renovat- ing and refurnishing of the dining room as a major project for next year. Attention will Raubenold, Ray S. Santee, Stanley Easterday, John R. Paul S. Deck, Second Vice-President; Russell S. Moyer, Charles H. Newhard, Secretary. also be given to the refurnishing of Senior High School classrooms and the improvement of lighting facilities in these rooms. As a long term project the Board is looking forward to the time when a long cherished dream will come true — when Northampton will have a suitable stadium where outdoor events of the school and connnunity may be held. The Board hopes that all citizens will assist by suggesting ways and means so that plans for its realization may soon get under way. RUSSEL S. MOYER President Page 9 Good Leaders . . . MR. WILLIAM LANDIS 1908-1922 MR. CLYDE FRANKENFIELD 1922-1930 N O w Northampton High School was fortunate in having two excellent superintendents in its formative years. Mr. William Landis and Mr. Clyde Frankenfield proved their merit in laying a firm foundation for future school achievements. In 1908 Mr. Landis was appointed the first Superintendent of Schools for the Borough of Alliance. He was responsihle for estahlishing our hasic school policy, for initiating the 8-4 school plan, and for guiding the building of most of our Northampton Schools. Mr. Lan- dis resigned in July of 1922 to the deep regret of the townspeople. He left N. H. S. to be- come Teacher Training Supervisor at Kutz- town State Teachers ' College, after which he served as Superintendent of Whitehall Schools until his retirement. Mr. Frankenfield, who held the position of principal since 1913, was elected by unani- mous vote to fill the vacancy of school super- intendent. He brought with him many fine innovations, among them the 6-3-3 school plan. His was the important task of super- vising the building of the new Junior High School. Although serving as Supervising Prin- cipal of Catasauqua Schools since 1930, Mr. Frankenfield has continued to show sincere interest in N. H. S. We, of the present graduating class, feel deeply indebted to these two outstanding school leaders for building strong and well the foundations of N. H. S. GEORGE A. EICHLER A.B., M.A., Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Since 1930 Dr. George A. Eichler has held the reins of the Northampton Schools with firm but gentle hands. Proof of his good guidance can be found in the many new strides in edu- cation that have been made during his administration, the latest of these being the school jointure. Always a staunch supporter of com- munity activities, Dr. Eichler has been driving steadily towards a great objective — firmly tying the commu- nity and school together. We could not ask for better, stead- ier hands on the reins of N. A. J. H. S. Page 10 . . . Make Good Schools Our School Board scored again in choosing the finest in high school principals. From 1902 to 1905, Mr. E. J. Bernhardt was principal of the Alliance High School. Mr. William D. Landis of Emmaus succeeded him and was declared Supervising Principal in 1906. Mr. Harry W. Shinier, who had served as assistant principal in 1905, now became principal and served faithfully in this capacity until 1913 when he resigned to become Supervisor of the Woodstown, New Jersey schools. In 1913 Mr. Clyde Frankenficld was nom- inated High School Principal and nine years ' â– ' r-nrtf MR. HARRY SHIMER 1905-1913 MR. IRA SHEAFFER 1922-1946 later, 1922, jjecame Superintendent of schools. In 1922 Mr. Ira L. Sheaffer was appointed Principal of Northampton High School. He had been serving as assistant principal since 1913. It is needless to sing his praises, for he was respected and loved by all. Until his re- tirement in 1946 he brought a zeal and devo- tion to his task which is apparent even today, for he is still actively interested in N. H. S. es, as we of 1951 look around us, we see evidences everywhere of the leadership that has made our school progress. NORMAN A. LAUB B.S., M.A. Principal Just as Dr. Eichler holds the reins, Mr. Laub co-ordinates the movement of our complex school curriculum. He has the exceedingly difficult job ot scheduling classes and activities, and seeing to the efficient gearing of our junior-senior high school machine. Mr. Laub has brought with him the best in progressive educational ideas. During his six years as Prin- cipal, he has put the school first at all times and has I)een striving for the best in modern education and effici- ency. N O W Gladly Did They Teach Fifty years ago our entire high school faculty consisted of one man, Mr. Ahner Buck, (see picture on left). Today we Ijoast thirty-seven teachers on our faculty roster, and we are very jiroud of the fact that twenty-two of these teachers have ])een with N. A. J. H. S. ten or more years. With the addition of new faculty members came advances in curricular and extra-curricular activities. To these instructors who shaped our student lives hoth past and present, we owe our deepest gratitude. Thev cultivated and nurtured the seed of knowledge that had been planted by who was a capable one-man our grade school teachers. MR. ABNER BUCK faculty, left Northampton to become Principal of Catasau- qua High School and then Superintendent of South Bethlehem Schools. He re- tired in 1934 and died in 1938. Below is the first faculty picture on record. It was taken in 1908 outside the Alliance High School I now Central Build ing). Standing: (back row) D. Protzeller, E. Shawl, M. Prutzman, M. Howell, B.

S. students. The name Bilheimer has been prominent in the fifty years of our school ' s historv. An older brother, Mr. Henry Bilheimer, was secretary of our first School Board, while Messrs. Clinton and Charles Bil- heimer devoted their entire teaching career to N. H. S. and are still actively interested in our school today. Mr. Ralph Smith rose from the ranks of classroom teacher to become Principal of our Junior Hinh School in 1935 where he served faithfully until his death in 1945. We thank these men sincerely for giving their utmost in service to our school. jNor would our book of memories be com- plete if we failed to mention those members of our High School faculty who guided N. H. S. stud ents for ten or more years along the rugged path of learning. A vote of grate- ful thanks goes to the six loyal instructors pictured below.

Efficiency Experts Is there something I can do for you? That ' s the favorite question of our friendly, good-to- look-at secretaries. They expedite the business of the day with ease and give us service with a smile . Doctors ' Orders In our estimation the NAJHS medical staff is tops. Aches and pains (teeth or tummy variety) disappear when we pay them a friendly visit. What! You have inhibitions! See our doctors at Page 22 Connoisseurs Mrs. Mar- ion Gehret and Mrs. Helen Frye. UK C ' carroV ' ) Cooks Tantalizing odors, satisfying platters, and de- licious desserts spell cooks to NAJHS students. Our capable culinary artists, whether counting calories or potatoes, have proved their skill with their mouth-watering dishes. Hungry groans vanish when they take over. Is it any wonder they rank high on our list of friends. Maintenance Masters From the swishing of a broom to the scraping of a shovel, that ' s our staff of janitors at work. These efficient workers find installing dishwash- ers, erecting bleachers, or fixing time clocks a cinch. We salute them as they continue to keep our school looking the Tide way . MR. WARHEN LANDIS MR.CLARhNCE HUGO MR. HAROLD KOSHAN MR. ALFRED LAUER MR, CHARLES McGILL Page 23 Out of the Past . . . We Present The first hi ih school ycarljook made its appearance in 1915. From that year to the present all graduating classes have had a written record of their days and deeds. Since no record has heen kept of our grad- uates prior to 1915. we would like to honor the classes from 1902 to 1914 hy presenting them to vou here and on the two succeeding pages. Unfortunately we could not locate pic- tures of the first four classes whose member- ship included: CLASS OF 1902— Amy Scholl, Mary How- ell, Edna Willman, and Harry Rice. CLASS OF 1903— Kathryn Contant. : Iahel Hess, Alfred Merkle, Anna Rader, Clara Warta. CLASS OF 1904— Minnie Klotz, Miriam Kuder, William Moyer, Helen Reinhard, Charles Schanaberger, Edward Schoneberger, Harold Shoneberger, Fred TeinuUiger. CLASS OF 1905— Edward Bender, Ray Gable, Estelle Ihrie, Mabel Knappenberger, Esther Kuntz. Emily Moser, Stanley Sloyer, Beatrice illiams, Nora Wolf. In 1902 N. H. S. graduated four students in that first class. By 1926 we had passed the half hundred mark with 61 seniors, and twelve years later our graduating class reached 112. Our greatest class, 138 seniors, was graduated in 1941. N. H. S. has just reason to be proud of her 2,755 alumni. This June we hope to add one hundred-thirteen more names to the annals of alumni historv.

Guiding Lights The •aving, W n«i is a coUii.iv without its leaders? also applies to our class. What is a class without its officers? Without them it could not function properly. Our class officers have so willingly given their time to plan our senior activities and to perforin the many tasks involved. To our officers: Alljcrt Bar- tholomew, President; Roman Zacharchuk, Vice-President; Charles Fogle, Treasurer; and Mary Ann Billy, Secretary; we extend our sincere thanks for a joh well done. To our class advise r, Mr. Ernest Papp, who was hoth brains and brawn behind all our ])rojects, we wish to express our gratitude. It was he who persistently urged us on in all our tasks and helped to liring them to successful fruition, and to him we say a heartfelt thank vou. Class Colors Maroon and White Class Flower â– .

This eminent organization met once every two weeks to advance the exahed study of literature, oratory, and rhetoric. Every student was compelled to join this so- ciety whether interested or indifferent. This is a far cry from our individual club selec- tion of today. An important jjranch of the society was the Debate Club. In the year 1915 they hotly de- bated the inspiring question, Resolved that the pen is mightier than the sword. Accord- ing to the records, those class debates were really exciting. The High School Orchestra began its fa- mous career in 1911. Mr. Richard Neubert of AllentowTi was the director. A few excerpts from the 1915 yearbook will prove to you that times have not changed. Miss L. Newhard fails to watch her notes, as she is continually watching the cute fel- lows in the audience and discords fill the au- ditorium — Then we have the clarinet players, Jacob Sheetz and George Schisler, the former con- tinually puts ' spit ' into his instrument and makes more noise than music — We also have a trombone player who drowns the other instrument to such an ex- tent that nothing else can be heard — The Glee Clubs, too, were among the early organizations. Records of early concerts, can- tatas, and operettas prove their activity. 1915 marks the appearance of the first N.H.S. Yearljook. It is a most excellent book and has become the father of a long line of yearbooks. La Perle. the first school magazine, was also edited in 1915. Due to the difficulty in under- standing the French name, it was renamed the Black and Orange in 1922. The Campfire Girls of America came to Northampton in 1917 with all their Indian finery. This first group called themselves Camp Lechauweki and their watchword was ff ' ohelo meaning work, health, and love. These girls were the forerunners of the Girl Reserves of 1926 and our present Tri-Hi-Y. Democracy came rapidly to Northampton High. In 1919 the Student Betterment Asso- ciation was begun. S.B.A. was the popular name for it, and it was given power next to the school authorities. This club was the grandfather of our modern Student Council. On March 6, 1925 the Hi-Y Club was or- ganized. Their first project was reading the book entitled. An Older Boys Problems. This could be compared to the Teen Talks in which Tri-Hi-Y ' s and Hi-Y s participate today. The Hi-Y is still going strong today with a few changes in the charter making it more demo- cratic. In this same year the Marconi Radio Club was initiated. The purpose of this first science club was to build a radio for the school. Much to the surprise of the faculty, the club members succeeded. The last week in Febru- ary of 1925 they heard Calvin Coolidge ' s in- augural address direct from Washington. A big day in the history of N.H.S. The N Varsity Club was born in 1926 for the purpose of promoting the interest of the l)oys in sports. It also succeeded in promoting the interest of the girls — in the boys. N.H.S. had the honor of organizing a Na- tional Honor Society in 1927. This is the only society in our school that elects its members. The requirements are the same today as 24 years ago. Sire de Mnletroit ' s Door was the Dra- matic Clubs first production. This group was organized in 1929 and is still treading the boards in the form of our present Thespian Club. Unfortunately we could not name all of the clubs of the past in this article. All of them have played an important part in our school ' s social growth. We have tried to give you a smattering of the history of our most important clubs, many of which we still re- tain today. Page 63 Top Row: Mr. Laubach, R. Kosc, R. Csencits, J. Winkle bauer, F.

The menil)ership then consisted of seven seniors with Mr. Ira Shaef- fer advisin ; the group. Scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter — these were and still are the corner- stones of the National Honor Society. Each year fifteen per cent of the senior class is chosen by the faculty to l)e admitted into this worthy organization. Their qualifications for nieniljcrship must he equal to the stand- ards set up in the cornerstones. This year ' s cha])tcr was honored by re- ceiving an invitation from Catasauqua High School to induct their newly organized group. The induction ceremony took place at Cata- sauqua High School during an assemblv pro- gram in which the fundamentals of the so- ciety v.ere explained by the members of the Northampton group. A charter and emblem were presented to the Catasauqua group. The Club also sponsored the Bell Hop. The Society is under the sponsorship of Miss Marion Laultacb.

Christian Leadership OFFICERS President Richard Smith I ' ice-President William Klotz Secretary Maurice Dimmick Treasurer Gerald Newhart Chaplain Richard Porotsky History — Twenty-six years ago this March the HI-Y was added to the growing branch of service clubs in our school. Christian leadership was its fundamental ideal and is still the ideal which the twenty-seven members of the HI-Y Club strive for in everyday life. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian living, is the chief function of the HI-Y Club. Some of the HI-Y Club activities consist of con- tributing to the Red Cross and World Youth Fund, and participating in Teen Talk. They hold a three year championship record in Y.M.C.A. Life Problems Discussion Course. Aside from their many school activities the HI-Y members this past term have taken active part in a recently organized HI-Y basketball league of which a sched- ule appears below.

Its members, coached by Mr. Reed Buck- ingham, are assured of a chance to speak their minds as often as they wish. This opportunity comes not only in the form of extemporaneous speaking in club periods but also in serious debating with other schools on issues of current importance. The club began the year with a warm-up scramble 1 1 n f â– HF trV - ' H w I ' 1 41 h  ' li.i 1 fV debate on a local topic and then swung into the serious debating on the nation-wide topic for this year — Re- solved: that social welfare benefits to the people should be extended by the Federal Government. In the first round robin N.H.S. debaters had a first place tie when our negative won all three debates. In the second round robin our first affirmative took the honors winning two out of three. In addition to a few more league debates the club also participates in forensic debating and in a round table discussion. All is not words, however, for at the end of the season, the league celebrates with a dinner-dance for all debators.

This work, under the direction of Miss Arlene Kocher, is to acquaint the members with the stage so they may make use of it in productions in or out of school. A May first production in assembly and visits to the Bethlehem Drawing Room Theatre and Allen- town Civic Little Theatre bring to a close another happy year with the Thespians.

The precision of the color guards plus their Rhythm Reigns Pep, good music, and eye-appeal means the N.A.J. H.S. Band, 60 strong, is on pa- rade. The Orange and Black aggregation marches proudly at parades, athletic events, in band contests, and Community ceremonials. Since the Band is a member of the Penn- sylvania Music Educator ' s Association, four of its members were sent to District Band at Bethlehem — Richard Porotsky, Ray- mond Kohler, Patricia Stephanv, and Maurice Dimmick. Richard Porotsky was chosen to represent N.A.J. H.S. at the State Band Festival in Harrisburg. Christmas and Easter programs of the highest caliber, an outstanding spring con- cert, a band festival at Dorney Park, and a series of concerts at the Northampton Municipal Park are all important items on the Band agenda. The color guards, majorettes, and cheer- leaders are an important asset to the Band neat, toy soldier-like appearance adds an in- teresting note to the picture. Page 78 - F ' X r STEPPING HIGH: B.

As the major- ette go, so goes the band, is the opinion of some people. Barring none, this fine group is one of the best in our district. A rhythmic swing of the body plus a hip- hip brings our cheer-leaders front and cen- ter. In their co-ed style uniforms they add zip to field and hardwood. Two band and two majorette trophies in two years of competition prove that the N.A.J. H.S. Band is tip-top. Fine musicianship and expert guidance under the batons of Mr. Leon Kuntz and Mr. Edwin Berg are the keys to Band success. HIP! HIP!: L. Feidler, D. Reichley, I. Oranczak, S. Drummond, M. Termena, S.

Their hours of prac- tice show excellent results in our impressive Christmas Vesper Service, in the beautiful spring concert, in Forensic competition, in assembly programs, and in their many com- munity appearances. The forty-five members of the Senior Girls ' Chorus enjoy excellent vocal training under Mrs. Santee ' s guiding hand. The result — a beautiful interpretation of music in three part harmony. A carefully selected group of twenty-five chorus members comprises the Girls ' En- semble. With a repertoire that includes light opera as well as classical numbers, this group is prepared at any time to perform in school or at community affairs. Memories of Pitts- l)urgh, 1950! Yes, we were proud of our En- semble — State Champs they were. Twenty-one vibrant tenor, baritone, and bass voices announce the Bovs Chorus. They rejoice in singing anything from the barber- shop quartet variety to religious numbers. They, along with the Girls Choruses, are always ready to lift their voices in song whether it ' s for a concert, a banquet, a church program, or a teachers ' tea. BROTHERS SING ON Eighth Roiv: W.

Eight members of the senior class were selected for this event, and the four winners were awarded five and ten dol- lar gold pieces. This contest was finally re- placed bv the Junior Speaking Contest in 1927. Inter-class debates were usually held in April. These debates were supported by the entire school and showed an enormous amount of school spirit. The two upper classes would debate on such impressive subjects as, Resolved that war is not detrimental to the progress of civilization. On the evening of the event the classes would march proudly into the auditorium bearing class pennants and banners. At the conclusion of the debate the winning team would sing victory songs while the losers sang songs of defeat. It seems regrettable to us that some of these early ac- tivities which aroused such strong school spirit have since been discontinued. As early as 1912 the students petitioned for and were given permission to present a spring concert. At last N. H. S. could display its talents. The Boys and Girls ' Glee Clubs joined with the high school orchestra in presenting this first Spring Concert. The high school orchestra also played at all school af- fairs and was often asked to play for church groups and commencement exercises of other schools. Class parties seemed to be the thing in these earlier years. They were organized and handled entirely by the students themselves. As we read their yearbooks, we realize what fun they must have been. In 1918, for ex- ample, Floyd Geary entertained the whole senior class at his home. They spent the eve- ning playing parlor games and eating. A good time was had by all. That same year, in May, the members of the junior class hiked to Norwood Keek ' s farm at Seemsville. ' Joker ' Jones and ' Pete ' Smith entertained the group, and there were lots of good things to eat. The first moonlight hike was taken in 1918 on a cloudy night much to the joy of all! Hayrides and sleighing parties were also popular. We have no date for the first hay- ride, but we can tell you when the last was held! There were picnics galore. In the 1925 Amp- tennian we read . . . Some in a Ford, some in a Hudson, some in a Gardner — but all bound for Dorney Park . . . Then there were the famous upper class recei)tions for the Frosh which made the new-comers feel right at home. Due to our present day enrollment, class parties such as these are no longer possible, and the old spirit of class comradeship has, to some extent, been lost. In 1919 the school presented the first oper- etta called. Little Almond Eyes. We have re- produced parts of the program below. A glance will help you to understand the plot of our first operetta. Act I, Scene I, The gardens of the Em- peror ' s palace in Peking. The Lover Who Looked in My Eyes Little Almond Eyes and Chorus There is a Graveyard in My Heart Ping Po and Chorus Dance: The Bird ' s Nest Dip Miss Tip-toe Neiv Hampshire Gold, the first Senior Class Play on record was presented to the town in 1919. Irene Stettler (now Mrs. Leon Kuntz) played the heroine, Daisy Maydew, to a thrilled audience. Early in the 1930 s the first dance was held. This was a real revolution in school policy. Before that time dances were considered be- yond the pale in school society. Then, too, we find the social amenities were practiced at teas, even the girls ' basketball teams gave teas for their friends. May Day breakfasts were held out-of-doors. There are records of taffy pulls. Class Hallowe ' en par- ties, banquets, and class biology hikes. The Camp Fire girls held regular meetings in the Atlas Woods. The Girl Reserves earned two weeks ' camping trips to Shawnee-On- The-Delaware or other resort spots. And there was always the three-day senior trip to Wash- ington, D. C. We are proud of our social activities and our Teen Age Center, but we must admit that as classes grow larger much of the intimate camaraderie of the earlier years is lost. Those were truly the good old days. Page 83 September Girl of the Month LovEY Demchyk Boy of the Month Charles Fogel 6. Check pencils! Smile! Onward Christian .. Soldiers! 7. Jlomework?

See Doctor ' s Orders The Senior Class really followed Doctor s Orders this year when they presented Kurtz Gordon ' s rollick- ing 3-act comedy by that name. After many weeks of fun-filled rehearsals under the direction of an expert coach, Miss Laubach, the cast presented a fine matinee and two wonderful evening performances. For a dose of Doctor ' s Orders take one Letty Mad- den, a spinster who loses all inhibitions; add Agatha, her prim and proper sister; and throw in a bit of Cousin Adolf who manages their store; add a generous portion of Rita Norris, his secretary, whom he ac- cuses of stealing S5,000 dollars; throw in a clever young lawyer, Steven Harmann, who personally de- fends Rita; and then dissolve a bit of Julia Madden, a ten-carat phoney. Now season well with Miss Ar- nold, Miss Powell, and Miss Kent, minor stockholders who make HATS! Next carefully add a heaping table- spoon of Maimie, the cook; mix well, and what have you got? Inhibitions! And that ' s exactly what Dr. Reynolds rids Letty of in a series of laugh-provoking scenes. With Steve ' s help Letty exposes Adolf, gets her man, and gives Agatha a new lease on life. And the au dience loves it all.

Page 96 A Silver Anniversary for Junior Speakers What youth learns, age does not forget. This Junior class motto might well be ap- plied to the Junior Speaking Contest. In this case Youth learned, and we, the audience, will not forget. After many weeks of rehearsing under the guiding hand of Miss Arlene Kocher, eight juniors gave an admirable show of what they learned. The audience laughed and cried as the speakers unfolded tales of woe or mo- ments of rollicking fun. The eight junior speakers presented their selections in the following order: Carl Wagner — Rendezvous With Destiny — Milich Anne Hanke — Arsenic and Old Lace — John Kesserling Ronald Porotsky — Man of Tomorrow — Stephen Leacock Ella Uivary — A Very Busy W Oman — Frances Greene Richard Stine — Tell the Folks Back Home — Norman Cousins Page Helen Luckenbaeh — Little W omen — Louisa M. Alcott Jack Kutz — The Education of Hyman Kap- lan — Leonard Ross Monica Lelko— The White Cliffs— Alice Duer Miller After careful deliberation the judges awarded first prizes to Helen Luckenbaeh and Jack Kutz, while second prizes went to Monica Lelko and Ronald Porotsky. Prof. R. G. McConnell of Muhlenberg College, Dr. C. Wotring of Cedar Crest, and Prof. John Hopkins of Lehigh University served as judges . The evening of February 23 would not have been complete without the fine display of musicianship I)y members of the Junior class.

A constitution was written, and the following officers were elected. Harry Rice President Alfred Markle First Vice-President Mrs. Clara Debbe Second Vice-President Mrs. Kathryn Canavan Corresponding Secretary Mrs. Edna Goad Recording Secretary Miss Mary Howell Treasurer In 1909 the association, due to the change of the borough name, changed its name to The Alumni Association of the Northampton High School. The organization offered yearly prizes at graduation, held annual banquets, sponsored dances, and other social functions, and assisted wherever possible in developing a better high school. A popular organization, The Dramatic Association, was formed to help boost the financial standing of the Alumni. They presented plays and operettas which starred talented Alumni. Two of the earliest performances were The Spider ' s Web and Girl from Arizona. Then came a long line of Rodger ' s musical comedy productions. Most of us today having pleasant memories of these shows and their director, Mr. Hill. MR. HARRY RICE The first boy to graduate from our school in 1902, be- came first president of the Alumni As sociation. Alumni Lunches at N.H.S. — Mr. F. Kocher, Mr. F. Kline, Mrs. K. Miller, Nancy Rehrig, Miss R. Shellhammer, and Mr. F. Rice. Page 104 From 1941 to 1949 the association was one in name only. Therefore, a reorganization meeting of the . H. S. Alumni was held on March 8, 1949. There were approximately forty members present, and twenty-two classes were represented. The newly elected officers were: First Vice-President. Franklin Rice; Second Vice-President, Donald Newhart; Re- cording; Secretary. Virginia Felkor: Financial Secretary, Renae Shcllhamer; and Treasurer, Franklin Kocher. A report was given on the group ' s financial status, and money-making projects were dis- cussed. A suggestion was made to collect dues from each memlier at a rate of $1 per year, .S5 for six years, and S25 for life membership. A new constitution was drawn up and ac- cepted. The preamble is: The object of this Associati on shall I)e to cherish feelings of friendship among its members, further their interests, and sustain the interests of the Northampton Junior-Senior High School. ' Today we find the Alumni Association more active than ever. This year it presented two Junior Speaking Contest prizes and several Commencement prizes. The two new, impres- sive trophy cases in the main hall of our high school were presented by the Alumni and the members of the first N. H. S. baseljall team (1915). An Alumni news bulletin is now published annually in the spring and is sent to the members of the organization. The final project of the year will be the presenta- tion of a card party and dance in honor of the 1951 graduates. The Alumni Association extends a sincere invitation to all loyal N. H. S. graduates to join the ranks and help advance the work of the N. H. S. Alumni.

FIRST WRESTLING TEAM-iq 6, Page 106 Sports — Through the Years Since the first basketball was tossed through its hoop, N. H. S. has provided a well-rounded sports curriculum for its students. Our found- ers evidently felt that athletics were neces- sary in developing good, clean sportsmanship. In the 1915 yearbook, it is recorded that basketball and baseball were in their infancy. The boys serving on the basketball team that year were: Shafer, Deily, Farber, Schisler, and Hess. The girls were: Becker, Kuntz, Newhard, Dilliard, Beil, and Semmel. The first coaches were Mr. Ira Sheaffer, basketball, and Mr. E. Palm, baseball. Though these early teams did not win many games, they made up for it in school spirit. Field Day was first held in 1914. The earl- iest record of results is that of the one held on May 29, 1915. In the yearbook it is re- corded that Edwin Hess won the gold medal with a total of 22 points. The first girls ' basketball teams were coached by members of the faculty. For sev- eral years the Superintendent ' s secretary, Maizie Berg, served as girls ' coach. With the coming of Coach Helen Pfrom in 1929, in- terest in girls ' basketball grew to such an ex- tent that N. H. S. boasted a championship girls team for several years. The girls on the famous 1930 team — Ethel Chernansky, Mary Jane Frantz, Nelle Fluck, Mary Christman, May Banner, Frances Snyder, and Evelyn Coleman — won every game in the girls ' league. The Thud of the pigskin came to N. H. S. in 1925. Mr. Keat, now Superintendent of Bangor Schools, was the first football coach, and that first year was a bit disastrous. The 1926 Amptcnnian explained that this was largely due to the fact that he had absolutely green material to work with. The very first rudiments of the game had to be taught. There were staunch believers, however, who predicted that football might improve with time. As you can see today their beliefs have Page come true. The Wonder Team, as it was so aptly called, gave us a thrilling and victorious bas- ketball season in 1937. Coached by J. Elwood Ludwig, they piled up 518 points to their opponents 25. The reason for their outstand- ing performance was probably the fact that they had two full strings of lettermen return- ing to their 37 squad. Skok. fullback, was high scorer for the sea- son with 123 points. Their largest score was made against Slatington, 86 to 0. The first string included Schnieder, Yonkovits, cap- tain; Burkhart, Chernansky, Evans, Newhard, Zirinsky, Hcffner. ( nkotz, Skok, and Gilly. They finished their victorious season with a triumphant 85-0 over Catasauqua. Then came a series of thrilling District 11 play-off games. First N. H. S. downed South Whitehall at the Little Palestra . Next came the biggest upset of all when N. H. S. de- feated Hazleton at Reading 32-18. The game with Frackville, played at Allentown, proved even tougher but gave N. H. S. a 29-24 vic- tory. Then came the game in Allentown with District I Champs, Lower Merion, which proved a Waterloo for our gallant team. Coach Ludwig and his boys certainly gave North- ampton a never-to-be-forgotten basketball season. The Grunt and Groaners made their debut in 1946. That year, they were on the losing end of the score due to lack of experi- ence. However, the boys and their coach, Mr. Harry Wahl, have shown that they ' ve got what it takes. We are now looking forward to the time when our sports curriculum will include swimming, tennis, badminton, and especially a broader sport program for the girls.

They certainly did — and added a beautiful trophy to their impressive collection. This marks the sixth consecutive Lehigh ' alley championship for our Konkrete Kids. The records now list forty-seven wins, three ties, and no defeats for N. A. J. H. S. Hats off to real Champions. And here is the record.

The Garnet and Gray pushed the Kids across the Delaware in their annual gridiron clash. A first period punting duel and a P ' burg touchdown highlighted the first half of this fine display of sportsmanship. The New Jersey grid- ders cracked the NHS defense twice in the second half to win 21 to 0. EMMAUS AT NORTHAMPTON September 30 The Kids, in their initial league contest, knew only one direction, forward, as they smothered the Emmaus eleven 58 to 0. The Kids pierced the EHS defense for 484 yards from scrimmage, while only giving up 37 yards. Luckenbach racked up 5 T.D. ' s including a 70 yard punt return. Miksits, Boyer, Fogle, and Mickley each copped one touchdown, I)ehind some fine blocking by Geosits and St eward. This touchdown parade ended with a 58 to score. WHITEHALL AT NORTHAMPTON October 7 The Konkrete Kids, remembering the spine-chill- ing game of last year, threw back the firm Whitehall Zephyrs. Set up by Mickley ' s 50 yard ramble, the first T.D. with Luckenbach carrying entered the scorebook. Bob Tacker, with an intercepted ball, navigated 60 yards for the first Whitehall six-pointer. Luckenbach and Fogle crossed into pay-dirt, while Whitehall ' s Tacker added another T.D. to windup the game. The score: NHS 20, WHS 12. NORTHAMPTON AT SLATINGTON October 14 The Kids easily overpowered the Slate borough eleven in a conclusive 38 to 6 decision. As Reimer, Benetsky, and Mishko encouraged the forward wall, Mickley went to the airlanes and netted Charles Fogle with three trips into pay-dirt and Schlegel with one. Slatington ' s lone tally, Follweiler ' s 45 yard ramble, came in the third period. Northampton racked up 38 to Slatington ' s 6. PALMERTON AT NORTHAMPTON October 21 With good defensive play from our hard charging line, Northampton ripped through the Blue Bombers for their fourth straight win. Fogle, Miksits, Barbari. Luckenbach, and Boyer each tallied once, while Ed Hess paced the slashing NHS line. The stalled Palmer- ton offensive never started and the Kids left them with a 34 to defeat. NORTHAMPTON AT LEHIGHTON October 28 The Black and Orange continued their rampage by blasting the Lehighton Indians. In a roaring first half the Kids crossed the double line seven times. Mickley and Fogle had their exercise with two long runs, 65 and 81 yards respectively. Two touchdowns in the second half ended the NHS scoring. Miksits split the uprights 6 times as the Kids sent the Indians to their wig-wams with a 61 to 18 defeat. NORTHAMPTON AT PEN ARGYL November 4 Pen Argyl, with some fine ball playing pulled a real upset at the expense of our Konkrete Kids. Pen Argyl was on top at the half 9 to 7. Don Carbone put the game on ice with the last two Pen Argyl touch- downs, one a 73 yard dash. The Kids crossed once more in the last period. The stunning verdict of this tussle was: Pen Argyl 28. Northampton 14. NORTHAMPTON AT STROUDSBURG November 11 Northampton clinched their seventh straight Lehigh Valley League Championship as they belted the Po- conos 38 to 6. An NHS scoring spree, supported by the blocking of Reimer, B. Spengler, and Spaits gave the Kids 38 points. Luckenbach highlighted the scor- ing with a 40 yard run. Reds Fetherman tallied the Stroudsburg lone T.D. NORTHAMPTON VS CATASAUQUA Turkey Day Coach Erdosy and his ' 50 edition of the Konkrete Kids completed a successful season as they romped through the Rough Rider line on this cool Turkey Day in AHS Stadium. Due to the great defensive play, which held the Catasauqua eleven scoreless, and the good crashing offense, the Kids sewed up their an- nual Thanksgiving clash 48 to 0. Mickley ' s 60 yard T.D. and Miksits 45 yard touchdown enlightened the NHS scoring in the first half. The scoreboard read at halflime: NHS 42, CHS 0. The Rough Riders tight- ened their defense in the second half. A Catasauqua drive down to the NHS 7 yard line was quickly re- pelled by an alert defense. Thus ended the last ray of a Rough Rider touchdown. Page 111 Standing — Coach Pete Schneider, W. Stranzl, A. Korutz, J. LudrolT, J. Mishko, Co-captain; J. Mickley, Co-caplaii Second Row — Managers A.

On the hardwoods the Palmerton Blue Bombers offered the highest bid in league competition by winning all games except an upset from Whitehall. The N. A. J. H. S. Varsity Quintet, made up of seasoned veterans such as Mickley, Mishko, Miksits, Hoffman, and Ludroff, developed quickly into a skilled squad under the guiding hand of Coach Pete Schneider. Rosy visions of an exciting basketball sea- son loomed ahead and soon became the real thing. The Konkrete Kids battled through a successful season by capturing sixteen tilts in twenty-two starts. On the minus side of the ledger Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown were responsible for three of the six defeats, while Palmerton marred our record twice, and Catasuqua scratched us in one contest. Probably the Whitehall and Catasauqua games will remain as the outstanding tilts of this season. With fifteen seconds to go in the Whitehall game, Ludroff tied the score with two foul shots. The crowd which was slowly making its exit from Rockne Hall returned to watch a thrilling three minute period in which Jan. 16 — Palmerton 62 Jan. 19 — Catasauqua 54 Jan. 23 — Lehighton 50 Jan. 27 — Bethlehem Catholic 45 Jan. 30 — Stroudsbarg 34 Feb. 2 — Emmaus 50 Feb. 6— Whitehall 53 Feb. 9— Slatington 40 Feb. 13— Palmerton 87 Feb. 16 — Catasauqua 75 Feb. 20— Lehighton 67 Northampton 50 Northampton 60 Northampton 66 Northampton 54 Northampton 60 Northampton 65 Northampton 59 Northampton 55 Northampton 61 Northampton 57 Northampton 85 Whitehall pulled six points and Northampton twelve. Mickley accounted for eight of these points, and Mishko the remaining four. The Catty game was a nip and tuck affair all the way which kept the crowd screaming. Miksits sewed up the game with a surprise layup shot heaved to him by Mickley. Special mention must be made of John Mickley who proved to be the Big gun as he set a new North- ampton record by dropping 400 points in one sea- son. Definitely Jack Mishko will long be remembered for his fine playmaking, control of boards, and his long screaming set shots. Edward Miksits displayed his powers as a workhorse and clutch player. Joe Lud- roff took advantage of his height by playing the backboards and tapping in shots. Ralph Hoffman and Tommy Boyer gave us fine ball handling and good steady playing. Stranzl, Heist, Korutz, and Ru- pinsky contributed their share, too, to the N. A. J. H. S. success. Although a large part of the 1950-51 edition of our Varsity will be lost through graduation, we are already looking forward to the next season with our Hustling Hoopsters .

Gathering experience and skill throughout the year, our Jay Vees vould probably have added to their victories had they not been hampered by injuries and sickness. In the pre-season games the Junior Varsity boys dropped four of their six starts. In league competition they gained enough confidence and skill to win eight .put of fourteen contests. The highlight of the season came on January 19, when the J. V. ' s defeated a powerful Catasauqua team in a thrilling overtime period. Remember when little Czepp. a substitute, tied the score with a fancy left-handed hook shot! In the thrilling three minute period Northampton emerged victorious with Gntt- man scoring for N. H. S. Throughout the season Moore ' s set shots and Wag- ner ' s push shots paced the team. Gorsky, Zenny, and Guttman rounded out the quintet. These players and ten good reserves provided a smooth J. V. combina- tion that bears watching in the future. Page 114 Fourth Row — R. Zimmerman, D, Laury, M. Wagner, L. Kirk, P. Billy. Third Row — J. Haiikee, L. Schlegel, A. Boyer, R. Crock, A. Hoffman.

Even so, the team — with all inexperienced wrestlers in the lower weights — produced a fair record, two wins to eight defeats. The 1951 Grunt and Groaners, coached by mentor Harry B. Wall, was co-captained by three veteran seniors — Alvin Hoffman, Lamar Kirk, and Marvin Wagner. David Laury led the Kids with a record of eight wins and two losses. Robert Zimmerman held the sec- ond place record with six wins, one loss, and one tie. The inexperienced underclassmen showed good form and good records. Feb. 1— Phillipsburg Feb. 8 — Nazareth Feb. 15 — Bethlehem Feb. 21 — AUentown Feb. 28— Easton 28 24 27 19 47 Northampton 14 Northampton 18 Northampton 14 Northampton 25 Northampton 2 The two bright spots on the wrestling schedule ap- peared on January 18 and February 21 when our men defeated AUentown in two exciting contests. Easton proved to be the powerful team again as they swept ten meets for a perfect score and later placed many wrestlers as District 11 Champs. Only two Northampton boys, Robert Zimmerman (138 pounder) and David Laury (154 pounder) passed the preliminaries, only to lose in the finals. The squad will lose only three seniors through graduation. This fact gives promise of a successful season ahead next year. Page 115 Intramural Champs Hats off again to the Junior High School Loys ' and girls ' intramural program and theU director. Coach Al Lerch. Pep, vim, and vigor were much in evidence as the younger fry opened their touch football season in Septem- ber. Games were played on a homeroom basis as usual with seventh, eighth, and ninth grades participating. The teams, totalling twelve i:i number, played a lively series of games in October with Section 9 A. L. emerging the winner. At the left you see Mr. Alfred Laubach ' s champs. Standing — A. Winklebauer, A. Moser, A. Laubach, Advisor, T. Gorsky, E. Pany. Kneeling — R. MacCandles, J. Goodman, E. Brushak. The month of January brought with it the beginning of the girls ' basketball intramurals. These, too, were played on a homeroom basis and the coveted title of Basketball Champs went to Miss Laura Weed ' s lassies. At the left you see the 9 L. W. Champs: Standing L. Miller, V. Hudick, P. Temple- ton, P. Sickonic. Kneeling — R. Santee, J. Kremus, D. Bossard. Next in line came the boys basketball games which were played during November and once again the heroes were the champs of 9 A. L. pictured above. Approximately 250 Junior High students par- ticipated in these events and more will be added to the list when Softball goes on the schedule. Senior high school students organized their own teams rather than play on the homeroom basis. Six teams participated in basketball com- petition, with The Wildcats emerging victori- ous.

Coach Mike Lisetski spends many hours putting young baseball aspirants through the paces. Then at last a team is chosen. The success of the ' 51 edition of the team will depend on the veterans of last year — John Mickley, John Mishko, Frederick Marchak, Edward Miksits, and Edward Wandler. Only two positions appear to be definitely occupied — Ed Miksits, short stop, and Ed Wandler, second base. The empty slots in the inner circle will be filled by Jack Mishko and Richard May 1— Northampton vs. Whitehall May 4 — Northampton vs. Stroudsburg May 8 — Northampton vs. Catasauqua May 11 — Northampton vs. Emmaus May 18 — Northampton vs. Palmerton May 22 — Northampton vs. Allentown Antonick. Most of the curves, drops, and fast balls will come from the good right arm of John Mickley, who can be relieved by Richard Moore and Joe Schwartz. John Mishko and Fred Marchak will undertake the respon- sibilities of the backstop department. With memories of last year ' s near-championship team still fresh in our minds, (remember the playoff game with Emmaus and that 5-3 score?) Best wishes to the 1951 team — and a happy season to all. As usual we have reserved space on our schedule where you may record the scores.
