The 1940 NOROSCOPE Published By Northern High School. Flint, Michigan A Ithin these human founded v alls The mystery of all knowledge calls. SoMETIMES coming here from crowded hall And laughter of my friends, on random page I found a new delight in printed knowledge Til I, in words, was lost beyond recall. And resting thus alone against a wall Of light, I could with opened book engage My curious mind in such a heritage Of wisdom as would a sage enthrall. O friendly solitude! O peaceful world Of deep and luminous thought. May they Who here have seen, if only from afar, The Truth and Beauty of a book unfurled, See these still shining on some distant day As light forever traveling from a star. ThIS is a theory Taught to us as a theory That trumpets need not sound to arms! Trumpets and bugles have young voices. This is an old theory Handed down to us as theory That trumpets shall herald a new day, and with Flourish and fanfare, make entrance for Peace! You teach us a theory? We propose to offer you back the proof. Listen to the voice of confidence Calling in a high clear promise. Trumpets and bugles have young voices. HiEARNlNG is listening to the who, the what, the when, the where. Learning is reading Why was this? and how so? Learning is thinking Is this true? Do our minds wander in the maze created by the images floating through the answers to the who? the what? the when? the where? drifting and sifting through answers to yesterday's why was this? and how so today? This is learning, too— the turning from what has been the dreaming of the yet to be. n S A SflLUTG to Hilmer Olson in recognition of his ability as instructor and administrator, the 1940 Noroscope is dedi- cated. His sincerity and good will have marked his outstanding efforts in success- fully serving as Dean of Boys and faculty athletic manager as well as instructor and head of the Industrial Arts depart- ment. It is in appreciation of Hilmer Olson, the man and the teacher, that this dedication is made. Classes THE NOROSCOPE A thorough checking oi curriculums by counselors and students was necessary before classes could get under way during the past school year After choosing a curriculum � n riich to enroll, students arranged their program with their counselors In the top row. left to right.

What three short years can't do to a bunch of bewildered and rather awed sophomores, as they were dubbed in the 1938 Noroscope. Their senior Dinner-Dance, the big affair of the year, was a complete suc- cess, as was every affair under- taken by this class—barring, of course, things of a scholastic nature. Max Bryer, that polished ora- tor and charming gentleman who hopes to be a criminal law- yer, was Senior class president. With his bewitching smile and easy-going manner Roger Hehn had no trouble securing votes for the vice-presidency and the girls still can't resist. He is also interested in cameras and picture-taking. Further Senior class officers who guided the graduating classmen through their last year of school activities are, left to right, top row: Max Bryer, president and Roger Hehn, vice president; bottom row; Ethel Berent, secretary and Virginia Evans, treas- urer. proof of the Seniors' eye for looks as well as for ability when selecting officers can be seen in Ethel Berent, their secretary. Pretty Virginia Evans has serv- ed as an apt and willing treas- urer. No remarks about gold- digging are at all necessary. No one can deny that these sophisticated seniors unbend and really do it up right when it comes to throwing parties. Bachelors and old maids were strictly taboo and girls were given an excuse to take advan- tage of leap year at their party, a couple affair given on January 24. Max Bryer was general chairman, assisted by Jane Me Keighan and Joe Clark. Senior class sponsors, Miss Lucy Dil- lon and Herman Steele helped get the affair off to a good start. To prove to the world how progressive the feminine mem- bers of the class are, they have six outstanding, all-around ath- letes. The girls worthy of this honor (and not one is muscle- bound or had frequent attacks of charley-horse) are Helen Hill- man, Audrey Wendell, Jane Hunter, Madoline Smith, Mar- guerite Kelly and Donelda Brodie. Of course we really mustn't overlook the boys interested in athletics. They are fairly good and probably should receive some recogniton. Ralph Gibert was captain of the all-state team, we understand, and Bud Fromholz and Earl Kelley were also prominent athletes. John Heavner landed on top in the fall golf tournament while George Wheeler, Gerard Shuir- man and Fred Snyder were in the tennis racket. Pardon us for that one. Senior Award Night, held Thursday, May 23, found the graduating class of 1940 array- ed in the newly acquired caps and gowns looking very pleas- ed with themselves and the world in general. Beaming par- ents beamed still brighter when their own Johnny marched up on the platform to receive a car- nation in return for running up a hundred-dollar light bill (all totaled) while burning the mid- night oil over a long term theme or some such thing. Still others received recognition for exert- ing pressure somewhere in the thousands of pounds (merely an estimate) into a picolo and so on into the night. Looking their Sunday best, which will do in a pinch, the 1940 grads assembled to hear the Baccalaureate services giv- en at the Court Street Church, Sunday, May 20. Commencement ended the careers of the members of one of the greatest, or maybe the greatest, classes ever to leave Northern. Of course, they de- parted with the traditional tears in their eyes and proverbial school-day memories in their hearts. Counselors who guided the seniors were. February class, top row: Jack Hubbard and Mrs Marjorie Turk; June graduates, bottom row: Herman Steele and Miss Lucy Dillon. -7- THE NOROSCOPE Honor Night - Seniors Appear in Caps and Gowns Scholastic honors were be- stowed on seventy-four seniors at the Honor Awards Convoca- tion. May 23. Although this list shows a drop over those receiv- ing recognition during the past two years, three students again were ranked as tops. Heading the roll as Valedictorians were Arlene Esther Laesch and Vir- ginia Gertrude Lee, who main- tained a straight all A record during their senior high-school career. Following a close second was Helen Katherine Lindsay. Graduating with high honors were nineteen and with honors, fifty-two. The High Honors group recorded a scholastic average ranging from midway between an A and B” to the Salutatorian. Those listed as With Honors achieved an av- erage of B up to midway be- tween A and B. At Honor Award night a large group was recognized for their extra-curricular activities as well as receiving non-school awards in the form of scholar- ships, cash prizes and medals. School awards based on class room activity as well as service to the school were presented by the Latin club to William Tate as tops among boys and Jane Caroline Hunter as the best among the girls. The selection was made by a committee of Latin students and teachers. In their opinion they had given the most worth while services to the school during their three years at Northern. Margaret Tripp made the pre- sentation on behalf of the club. The science department chose James Parciarelli for the Bausch and Lamb Science award. This nationally recognized award for attainment in science studies is presented to a mem- ber of the graduating class who, in the estimation of the faculty, has shown greatest progress in science during his high school career. The award is sponsored by the Bausch and Lamb Opti- cal Company as our incentive to high school science students. Presentation was made by John White, chemistry teacher. The D. A. R. presented a United States History Award, a Junior College scholarship and a Good Citizenship token. Anna Yambrick won the Citizenship token. The other two award winners were not chosen at the time the Noroscope went to press. The American Legion High Boys Scholarship award was taken by William Tate, while the Amercian Legion Girls High scholarship was won by Arlene Laesch and Virginia Lee, vale- dictorians. Presentation of these awards was made by representatives of the various groups making the awards. This was the first night on which seniors officially ap- peared in caps and gowns. The senior class sat in a body sur- rounded by relatives and friends as the awards were giv- en. As a token of their schol- arship achievements the high honors group were presented with a red carnation, while those in the “With Honors group received a white carna- tion. The traditional passing of the scroll ceremony was staged between Max Bryer, senior class president, and Jack Schmidt, junior class president. In addition four other schol- arships were presented by var- ious groups and individuals. These, however, also came too late for inclusion in the Noro- scope. Extra Curricular Extra curricular awards were presented to Northern gradu- ates of the class of 1940 on Sen- ior Award Night held May 23 in the gymnasium at Emerson Junior High school. These awards represented participa- tion in eleven extra curricular act vities. Honors went to members of the Sigma Chi Lambda, a schol- astic honor society. Students who received these honors were Bernice Adams, Doualas Ander- son. Margaret Auten, Curtis Barefield, Martha Jane Bell, Donelda Brodie. Margaret Burd, Edythe DeCou.

By chronicaling the achieve- ments of Northern graduates, the writers of the play tried to show that the American edu- cation is best.

Their time will come, but in the meantime they have all the fun they can and, from all outward appearances, don't do badly. Their president. Jack Schmidt, has one of rare senses of subtle humor, which, along with his charming personality, explains his popularity. What's more, Jack seems to hold an amazing fascination for the ladies, but he never can make up his mind which one to take. Hollywood is the goal of Rhoda Loder, vice-president of the Junior class. She possesses unusual talent for acting and stage technique along with fine character and personality - a rare combination for a girl so young. Marjorie Snyder, dark and rather vibrant, was elected sec- retary. Marjorie hopes to be able to meet the strict require- ments exacted from an air host- ess on large transport planes, for this is her ambition. The junior class is represented by these officers, left to right, top: Jack Schmidt, president and Rhoda Loder. vice president; bottom: Marjorie Snyder, secretary and Lois Walker, treasurer. Holding the position of treas- urer is Lois Walker, the girl who wowed the crowd at the cam- paign assembly with her re- mark about being from Ken- tucky, the home of beautiful women and fine horses. Of course quips flew right and left, but nevertheless it went over. Being very social-minded, the Juniors offered the best of enter- tainment at their parties given this year. Under a sky of blue, even if it was false and in Octo- ber, Northern students danced with the Juniors as hosts. The dance, entitled Sophisticated Swing, drew a large crowd and was planned under the di- rection of Jack Schmidt, Lois Walker, David Levinson and Helen Michelson. They threw a second party March 1, and enticed students by announcing that there would be soft lights (it couldn't fail) and sweet music by Hal Ken- nedy and his orchestra. Rhoda Loder, Jack Schmidt, William Wolfe and David Levinson were in charge. Junior athletes will be future varsity stars under ordinary cir- cumstances, but not these boys. They have to be different and be varsity stars before they have the prestige of being Sen- iors. Robert Holloway, particu- larly outstanding in basketball, received state recognition. His cousin, Dick Holloway, was also outstanding in athletics as were David Levinson, Leonard Sweet, Eddie Krupa, Louis Bare, Robert Clement, Harold Kruse, Mickey Metar, Fred Salim, Clifford Fielder, John Bero, Charles Sny- der, Sheridan Tucker, Clayton Ash and Henry Jakubzyk. Junior girls have also proved their fine ability along athletic lines. Girls who deserve spec- ial recognition are Joan Addi- son, Rhoda Loder, Jean Schmidt, Ruth VanDyke, Gwendolyn Smith, Phyllis Downer, Jean Gil- lies and Margaret Galloway. Of course, we mustn't give the Junior class itself all the credit for its accomplishments. Much of it goes to the people behind the scenes, their coun- selors. Miss Blanche Terry and Miss Marguerite Farmer advise the junior girls about their pro- grams and courses as well as any personal problems with which they are confronted. The boys are helped through difficult situations and receive advice about their subjects from Clarence Haynes, who has been at Northern for twenty-one se- mesters, and Roy Knight, in- structor of bookkeeping and commercial law. Thus ends our little tale of Juniors, who, by the time this book is published (if all goes well), will have almost complet- ed their two years imprisonment in an institution entirely dom- inated by upperclassmen and faculty. Remember, Juniors, that Rome wasn't made in a day and take heart! Junior counselors responsible for the in- botweeners were, February class, top row: Roy Knight end Miss Marguerite Farmer, second row. Clarence Haynes and Miss Blanche Terr. -37- THE NOROSCOPE Give Them Time Why don't they call sopho- mores, freshmen (a very appro- priate moniker) is still a puzzle to the majority, but since this is a class history, and not a criti- cal essay, thats entirely beside the point. Of course, none of us really have anything against the soph- omores. They're cute and there is no getting around the fact that this batch will comprise the senior class of 1942. Most of us are still rather be- fuddled as to just who is in the Sophomore class and who isn't, with half of them still in junior high school, but still being con- sidered a part of Northern or something like that. Anyhow it's generally believed that they send representatives to our Student Council, vote for the sophomore officers at Northern and are allowed to help elect the Student Council officers at Emerson. Maybe after this sys- tem has been in operation a few years it will be better under- stood. Bill Scott, a typical soph, cute, small with big ideas and ener- getic, possesses the title of soph- First year activities of the sophomore class were engineered by these sopho- mores Left to right, top: William Scott, president and Margaret Haut, vice presi- dent; bottom: Julius Lazar, secretary and Maxine Hecker, treasurer. omore class president. (The title is bigger than he is!) Bill likes to play golf, but, strange as it seems, he's not particularly in- terested in tall girls. A very conscientious and in- dustrious girl, (no, they're not quite extinct) namely, Margaret Haut, is vice-president of the class. I don't like to say this, but Margaret must have a peculiar streak in her elements, because she actually enjoys giving re- ports. The secretary, Julius Lazar, vehemently declares that he's allergic to gum-chewers and girls (there's more yet) who wear extreme hair styles. Julius' interests, many and varied, in- clude basketball, tennis, soft- ball, wrestling matches and movies. He doesn't participate in the latter two. The sophomores have also chosen a girl for their treasurer. But the sophs figure they were pretty wise in selecting Maxine Hecker, and she has caused no trouble to date. She enjoys bi- cycling, ping-ponging, parties and movies. This class did a rather com- mendable job in their first stab at party planning. Freshness and new ideas invariably found in sophomores was evident in their contrivance for reducing the stag-line at their party given November 17. All wall flowers (as if just being one wasn't enough) were made more con- spicuous by the huge flower each received with the instruc- tions to break up some blissful twosome and take over. Those in charge of the committees were Margaret Haut, Maxine Hecker, William Scott and Julius Lazar. They were aptly guided by their counselors, Miss Donna McCaughna, Mrs. Mabel Roome, John Cooper and John White. Although only one boy, Robert Roberge, won a varsity letter, there are many promising ath- letes among the sophomore boys who will be outstanding next year. Girls receiving credit for ath- letics during their sophomore year are Jane LaBarge, Mary Ellen LaBeau, Gloriadean Mills, Barbara Anderson and Phyllis Smigiel. Sophomores always are a majority on the all A honor roll (whether it’s purely intelli- gence or just beginner's luck, I couldn't say), and this year's bunch is no exception. Bruce Cooke, Margaret Farmer, Pat- ricia Haller, Jennie Skrzela and Reva Sendler were among the more fortunate. Since most of these sopho- mores will undoubtedly be sen- iors in two years, it might be in- teresting to know what they in- tend to do when they become seniors. When asked his highest am- bitions for his class of 1942, Archie Hess replied that he wanted the class as a whole to take a trip to Washington as some small schools do. Dorothy Deacey hopes that the entire class achieves the all A honor roll before they grad- uate. Sophomore counselors who directed the green ones were, February class, top row: John Cooper and Miss Donna Me Caughna; June class, bottom row: John White and Mrs. Mable Roome. -38- Organizations THE NOROSCOPE These students manage the school government They are left to right Isadore Sugarmnn. president; Eugene Malccki, vice president, Helen Lipka. recording secretary; Edythe DeCou, corresponding secretary and William Tate, treasurer. A Year of Reorganization Several innovations and a number of constructive changes were added to the school through action of the Student Council this year. During the first semester the council tried out a new system of keeping students informed on its activities by appointing rep- resentatives to a report room, to which they would report the happenings of the Council and carry on a discussion. This plan was dropped the last semester in the favor of having one an- nouncer, Bill Tate, give a brief summary over the Public Ad- dress system and requesting teachers to carry on the discus- sion. A committee also was ap- pointed to buy such supplies as paper, paints, and brushes used for school parties. This elimin- ates waste in that it is cheaper purchasing supplies in larger quantities. The Activity committee of the council and the Art department added to the spirit of Christmas by decorating the building more elaborately than before. In the future a speaker from the council will enlighten the 10B students on the question of citizenship at Northern and ad- vise them where each individ- ual may read a copy of the school constitution. Officers of the student council were Isadore Sugarman, presi- dent; Eugene Malecki, vice president; Helen Lipka, record- ing secretary; Edythe DeCou, corresponding secretary and Bill Tate, treasurer.

He Sings to Promote Safety- Leaders Northern High school is proud of the fact that it had such a large number of active clubs and organizations. Each club has its respective officers and these people have been instru- mental in keeping the group to- gether. Girls who enjoy sports belong to the N club. The French and Latin clubs are for those students who have partaken of either language and wish to keep in touch with the customs of Rome or France. Journalistic minded hobbiests are enrolled in the Press club and the honor students of the journalism classes belong to the Quill and Scroll. The Home Economics club is strictly a domestic organization. This club is for girls who are interested in household crafts such as sewing, knitting, and cooking. The Colored Girl Re- serves or Progressive Girl Re- serves is a social club as well as an educational organization. The girls in this group present teas, banquets and other social activities throughout the year. Then in order to mix business with pleasure they learned the art of knitting, crocheting and other types of handiwork. The chief activity of the Key and Kolophon was to promote the use of books and conduct the essay contest which was open to all junior high school li- brary assistants. The club also sponsored the sale of the scarlet and gray Viking book covers. The Hi-Y's chief aims were to promote better physical, mental and spiritual activities. Although these clubs vary widely in their work, projects all have the same common aim: to strive for clean sportsmanship and high ideals. Because they were so active the club presidents should be on the receiving end of a great deal of credit for living up to the club standards and holding the group together. The Safety Club has lead one of the largest safety drives in the history of Northern in the past year, heading their pro- gram with speeches and songs by Wilburn Legree, the singing policeman, in sing assemblies. The Sheriff's Department loaned the school posters and pictures on traffic safety and the Mott Foundation and W. P. A. classes also cooperated by sending posters to the school. W. O. Satterly is the spon- sor of the Safety club and is assisted by William Tate, chair- man, Bill Scott, vice chairman, Betty Sarver, secretary-treas- urer, Ruth Seder, Robert Ren- wick and Isadore Sugarman, ex-officials. Much credit should go to the Safety club for the fine accident prevention record which North- ern students now enjoy. This record has been encouraged through excellent safety pro- grams presented over the public address system by the members of the drama classes. Safety prevention posters ap- peared in shop class rooms, drawing class rooms, sewing and cooking rooms and else- where throughout the school. These posters emphasized the need for safety, not only on the streets, but in the home and school.

A Tip for Boys Domestically inclined girls had an opportunity to increase their knowledge of the house- hold arts by participating in the activities of the Home Econom- ics club. Those girls who liked sewing and knitting were especially fortunate since much work was done in this field. Many of the girls displayed their creations in the style show sponsored by the club as part of the P. T A. program, April 3. In addition to working hard inside and out of class the girls sponsored social programs. Highlighting their social year was the Christmas party, at which time the club presented a Christmas basket and a tree to a needy Flint family. Sponsored by Mrs. Lura Brew- er, the girls had as their officers Stella Roskowski, president; Odelia Seifert, vice president and Margaret Suchanek, secre- tary-treasurer.

Students Are Rewarded The Sigma Chi Lambda, na- tional honorary society for high school students, completed one of its most active and success- ful years with the annual spring breakfast two weeks ago. The library committee was made up of Charles Giel.Odelia Seifert, Janey Ward Humphrey, Helena Vining, Lucille Knap- man, Jane Hunter and Nellie Fage. The practice of a student hav- ing to ask his instructor for a permit every time he wished to enter the library was largely eliminated by the permanent permit system. The worth of the new library plan depended wholly upon the student body, as it was a stud- ent project. The student's library conduct determined his right to the privilege of possessing a permanent library permit.Those students having disturbing library manners were prevent- ed from enjoying this privilege. The senior members of the society were honored at a series of social events sponsored by the social committee under the direction of Betty Schaeffer and Agatha Larson. A committee under the gen- eral chairmanship of Odelia Seifert discussed ways and means for encouraging students to attend state tournament de- bates and basketball games and in various other ways to actively show school spirit. The committee also made plans for a campaign to keep corridors and classrooms tidy. Two formal initiations of the new members into the society were held; the first on Decem- ber 20, the second on March 20, at which parents of the mem- bers and graduate members were invited. The informal ini- tiations took place on the reg- ular club meeting nights. Responsible for the revising of the constitution were the members of the executive coun- cil. William Moss acted as head of a committee which laid plans for a talent contest conducted throughout the school. The tal- ent show staged as a result of the contest supplied funds for the annual breakfast. Other committees formed were the scholarship committee which aided deserving students to obtain scholarships; the honor roll committee, whose duty it was to see that the cor- rect honor rolls were posted at all times; and the study hall tutors, who endeavored to get more supervised study halls for students who had no other place to study. The fourth hour study hall was run entirely by a student committee composed of William Moss, Ralph Gibert, Aurelios Gallerani, and James Parciarelli for the first twenty minutes of the hour, Saraellen Miller, John Schaadt, and Jack Elder the second twenty min- utes, and Helen Lindsay, Betty Schaeffer, Shirley Steele, and Eugene Malecki the last twenty minutes. Officers of the society were William Tate, president; Wil- liam Moss, vice president; Mar- garet McMillan, recording sec- retary; Margarette Schreiner, corresponding secretary and Ralph Gibert, treasurer. Miss Marie Prahl was sponsor. THE NOROSCOPE Lovers oi Literature is what the members of the Literary club may be called Bottom row, left to right: Betty Jeane Browne Shirley Steele.

Pleasant Diversions A whirl of social and educa- tional activities surrounded Northern’s greatly enlarged Lit- erary club. Every minute of their monthly meetings was en- gaged to its fullest with speak- er Appreciators The Art club was organized for the sole purpose of promot- ing a more thorough apprecia- tion of art. Miss Ilo Mae Browns, art instructor, was sponsor of the club. The majority of the meetings were devoted to individual art ers, reports, projects and other pleasant diversions. At one of its earliest meetings the club held an educational contest the subject of which was based on books. Those students work consisting of sculpturing, sketching and various other types of art pertaining to school projects. Presiding officers for tho year were Dick Jones, president; Johnathan Elia, vice president and Keith West, secretary and treasurer. who came out with top honors were Mary Rood and Max Bry- er. At Christmas time, a basket was prepared for a needy fam- ily by the club. The project was supervised by a committee com- posed of Max Bryer, Ruth Lew- inson and Shirley Steele. One of the most entertaining meetings was held March 12, at which Jack Hubbard, English instructor, spoke on Michigan and Travel’'. Social activities were high- lighted by the spring dance, March 28 and the spring picnic which closed the season. Miss Mary Perkins, sponsor, and the members of several permanent committees were re- sponsible for the success of this organization. Students comoris- ing these committees were Sh r- ley Steele, chairman of refresh- ments and entertainment, as- sisted by Mary Rood. Gerard Shuirman and Phil Sanfcrd; and Ruth Lewinson, chairman of publicity assisted by Mary Jane Hazard and Carol Jones. The officers of the club were Max Bryer, president; Philip Sanford, vice president; and Jean Woodard, secretary-treas- urer.

Expert Salesmen Expert experience and in- struction is secured by members of the North Wind and Noro- scope business staffs. These staffs are composed of students who are enrolled in salesman- ship classes taught by Earl Pet- erson, instructor and faculty ad- viser. Various contests and projects were sponsored by the mem- bers of these staffs to increase the interest in the school publi- cations. During the sale of Nor- oscopes, a contest was held which was open to all students at Northern. A prize was award- ed for the best scenic views of the school. Another contest, held during the second semester, was spon- sored by Buckingham's Cloth- iers and the North Wind busi- ness staff. This was an ad-writ- ing contest in which Northern students only, were allowed to enter. Contestants were furnish- ed every two weeks with the mat and copy description of the item being advertised. After each contest, the prize-winning ad was reproduced in the Flint Journal and the North Wind along with the winner’s name. Judges for the first contest were Eldon Gardner of Buck- ingham's and Louis Schulz and Earl Peterson of Northern fac- ulty. The business staff for 1939 in- cluded Dean Savage, business manager; Anna Lou Jones, as- sistant business manager; Betty Rice, circulation manager; Lor- rene Miller, exchange manager and Virginia White and Betty Lilly, bookkeepers.

S tt The Fourth Estate Northern publications under- went a facial remodeling during the past year. At the beginning of the second semester. The North Wind, Northern's bi- weekly newspaper was chang- ed from a four page, seven col- umn news sheet to a six to eight page tabloid size paper. The 1939 editorial staff was composed of Edythe DeCou, ed- itor-in-chief; Patricia Gerow, news editor; Philip Sanford and Donald Knack, editorials; Janey Humphrey, features; Donna Tappan, exchanges; Frances Weckler and Georgina Me Quigg. clubs; Gerard Shuir- man, sports editor and Helen Hillman, girls' sports editor. Reporters were Edward Ber- ryman, Charles Giel, Verne Ir- win, Bill Lawson, Bill Moss, James Parciarelli, Rose Ann Ranville, Mary Rood, Beatrice Salim, Jane Hunter and Geral- dine Williams. During the second semester, however, the staff system was somewhat different from that of the first semester in that, with the exception of a few positions, the staff members were chang- ed each quarter. The perman- ent staff members were Vir- ginia Lee, editor-in-chief; Wil- liam Lawson, sports editor; Hel- en Hillman, girls' sports editor and Evelyn Snyder, make-up editor. In addition to the former members of the reporting staff which served during the fall of 1939, others who worked on the 1940 editions were Mildred Manning, Lucille Knapman, Odelia Seifert, Jessie Hawes, Douglas Anderson, Ruth Lewin- son, Grover Carpenter, Irving Himelhoch, Agatha Larson and William Lee. Still others were Howard Rose, Mae Russell, Barbara Kavanau, Elwyn Schrader, Isadore Sug- arman and Frances Weckler. Much of the hardest work was done by the typists. Harriet Anderson and Rose Sordyl typed copy for both The North Wind and Noroscope, while Enid Hudson and Rosemary Wascher aided the staff by typ- ing Noroscope copy. Not only did The North Wind change decidedly in appear- ance, but the Noroscope did also. The book was enclosed in a different kind of cover and printed with ink different from that used in other years. Many noticeable changes were made in the makeup and content of the book including senior write- ups. This year's annual exhibits much more cartoon work done by several art students and many photographs picturing school life. Members of the 1940 Noro- scope staff were Jane Hunter, editor-in-chief; Patricia Gerow and Virginia Lee, senior editors; Nellie Fage, junior editor; Lu- cille Knapman, sophomore edi- tor; Jessie Hawes and Ruth Lew- inson, club editors; Evelyn Sny- der and Agatha Larson, feature editors; Philip Sanford and Ger- ard Shuirman, sports editors and Helen Hillman, girls' sports editor. All North Wind reporters served on the annual staff also. Art work was done by William Wolfe, Katherine Flick, Georg- ina McQuigg and Virginia Glid- den. In addition to the two major publications, staff members wrote stories for the Flint Jour- nal school page, helped edit the annual football program and assisted with publicity and pro- gram construction for other school functions. Louis Schulz was faculty ad- viser for both The North Wind and the Noroscope. -46- THE NOROSCOPE Outings and educational speakers took up the greatest part of Press club meetings Bottom row, left to rich?

Press Promotion Having weathered the cruel- ties of an informal initiation, the journalism students who com- prise the Press club feel ready to tackle anything in the fields of writing or fun. To join the club, students must work on the North Wind or the Noroscope. The edi- torial and business staffs are both eligible. The initiation took place at an outing which the club held at Camp Copneconic. During the business meetings, the students discussed journal- ism and other things pertaining to it. Two speakers were en- gaged to tell them more about the subject. Willis Thorn ad- dressed a joint meeting of the Central and Northern clubs at Flint Junior College on the ad- vantages of large and small papers and Irving Chandler spoke to the club at Northern. At the informal meetings, an entertainment committee was appointed and they saw that the assembly was entertained. The refreshment committee saw that suitable refreshments were provided. The highlights of the spring term were two outings, at the first of these parties, the spring members were initiated. The last one was a farewell party just before summer vacation. Honorary Writers Twenty-four new members have been admitted into the Northern chapter of Quill and Scroll during the past year. This organization is the international society for high-school journal- ists. Those who were chosen from the first semester's publications staff include William Moss, Phi- lip Sanford, Gerard Shuirman, Donald Knack, Georgina Me Quigg, Betty Rice, Helen Zigo and Lorraine Keopke. Members initiated in April, and who are not pictured in the group, were Mildred Manning, Mary Rood, Odelia Seifert, Ev- elyn Snyder, Virginia Lee, Helen Hillman, Jessie Hawes, Lucille Knapman, William Law- son, Charlotte Greeson, Marion McIntosh, Helen Awad. Floyd Tymrak and Donald Mitchell. In order to qualify for mem- bership in this society, a stud- ent must be in the upper one- third of his class and must be outstanding in some phase of journalistic work. He must be in the junior or senior class and finally, he must be accepted by the national secretary-treasur- er, after being recommended by the publications adviser. At an election held during the first part of the year, Jane Hunter was chosen president; Philip Sanford, vice president and Janey Humphrey, secre- tary. -47- THE NOROSCOPE Sound Effects Northern's Broadcasting class completed many interesting and worthwhile projects during the year under the direction of Mrs. Nelda Topolka. dramatics in- structor. Several skits were presented the first of which was “The Flint Community Fund , by Larry Stewart. The building of the booth at the Flint Radio and Television show at the I. M. A. Auditorium comprised one of the biggest projects undertaken during the year. Many prominent citizens of Flint were interviewed over the microphone set up by the student broadcasters. Robert Taliaferro designed and built a very complicated buzzer, telephone bell, and door bell all in the same box. An ori- ginal door was made by Ray- mond Sullivan. Many other dif- ficult sound effects have been produced on the broadcasts by phonograph records purchased by the class. In charge of operating the radio and microphone was James Norton with Steve Hres- ko, assisting. Broadcasting classes at Northern enter- tain student body with educational and en- joyable skits in addition to presenting daily bulletins and sports broadcasts. 1.

In this organization, plays are presented for their own amusement and the mem- bers are taught stage terms and other details pertaining to act- ing. In the first semester of the school year, Producers sponsor- ed a talent contest. Students who served on the committees responsible for the success of the contest were Donna Tappin and Raymond Sullivan, who took charge of the poster pub- licity, Lorraine Miller, who took charge of bulletin publicity and Annabelle Attridge, under whose direction the ushers serv- ed. On Wednesday, April 3, 1940, a joint meeting was held with the Belle Masque club of Cen- tral High school at Northern. At this meeting the Belle Masque club presented two plays, Wis- dom Tooth” and A Little Pris- on.” Officers of the club were Mary Jane Hazard, president; Clay- ton Fenner, vice president; Vir- ginia Coens, secretary and Har- ry Marcus, treasurer. A Peep Into the Theatre Theatrical managers were in the making when members of the Footlights club met every third Tuesday during the school year. Several plays were given by various groups to the members of the club to acquaint and in- struct them as to the techniques of stage production A Christ- mas play entitled Christmas Awakening , was aiven by the members of the club for tho public at a Sorosis club meeting in December. Acting as president for the first semester was Larry Stewart whose place was taken the sec- ond semester by Richard Burke. Other officers for the year were secretary Joyce Holzburg who was replaced the second semes- ter by secretary Annabelle Att- ridge, treasurer, Mary Jane Haz- ard and vice president, Joseph Clark. The club was under the guid- ance of Mrs. Carol Foley. -49- THE NOROSCOPE Spirit Boosters of Northern are those members of the school band Front row, left to right; Victor Giacolone, Randall Pintacura Robert Colgan, Norman Washburn, Carolyn Grove, Ernestine Borey, Annalee Jennings, Betty Smurthwaite, Dick Davis Gerson Vehck and Wallace Gilmour; second row Pete Mangiaracina, Paul Morehead, Alex Gaus, Harold Sack, Lee Buck, Albert Kitchen, Monroe Karrer Elra Ald- ridge.

Students taking part in the music program including band work, orchestra, choir or any other special music group also may be eligible for awards. To receive a music award, a person must have passed in fif- teen hours of academic work for the previous semester, and must be passing in fifteen hours of academic work at the time of receiving the award. Five of the fifteen must be in music. Also an average of C or bet- ter must have been maintained. A total of seventy-five points is necessary before a student is presented with an award. These points must be accumu- lated before the last ten days of the school year. Points are earned through public appearances and special positions within the groups. A student may receive five music points for each public appear- ance in a school music group which has been trained and scheduled by a Northern music instructor. Student conductors and managers are endowed with two and one-half addition- al points for each appearance in the past year in new field for- mations and music. By much hard work and prac- which they work in their special position. Student librarians receive their awards in a different man- ner. To be eligible for an award they must serve thirty consecu- tive weeks as a librarian. In a sense they earn their award through points for they receive on the average of two and one- half points per week. This award is unlike sports awards in that a student may receive only one award in any one school year. Eligibility for the music award must be recommended by the music director and approved by the Student Council and princi- pal after the spring vacation of each school year. Those students who partici- pate in the a cappella choir re- ceive very attractive awards for merit. These honors are pins signifying the student's work in the choir. In recognition for having spent two or more years in the group, a student receives the first award, which is a tri- angular gold pin. This pin has an onyx set on which the word Choir is mounted and a letter N engraved on it. tice in drilling two days a week through football season, the band displayed many clever and interesting formations on the gridiron. The group attended two out- of-town games, one at Saginaw and the other at Owosso. Spec- ial busses were charted for each trip. Climaxing their full foot- ball season after attending all the home games, the Northern and Central bands combined at the Atwood stadium, on Thanksgiving day, to form a large U. S. A. while playing God Bless America . A pep band consisting of twenty pieces constituted much inspiration for school spirit at all the home basketball games through their own arrange- ments of old and new songs. Taking part in many other festivities during the past year, they were presented at the M. E. A. Convention, the all North- ern music festival, Saginaw Val- ley festival at Saginaw and the Senior's Commencement be- sides participating in two spec- ial parades, one on Armistice Day and the other on Decora- tion Day. To win a letter a player had to engage in at least fifteen out- side engagements. Bernard A.

Mostly Strings and Woods Northern’s forty-six piece or- chestra moved into the high- light of fine music after complet- ing one of the most successful seasons in which the Viking orchestra has ever participated. The main event of the season was the combining of the North- ern and Central to form one large all-city high school or- chestra which performed March 13. Dr. W. W. Norton appeared as a special guest conductor. Miriam Mallott, gifted violin-cell- ist of Morenci, Michigan, was also a guest with Clinton Norton of Flint Central and Gerson Ve- lick of Northern as student solo- ists playing the flute and the trumpet respectively. The pro- gram consisted of the pieces, Two Guitars,” Tales from Vi- enna Woods,” Valse; Adagio” and Allegro” by Beethoven; Andante Cantabile,” Tschai- kowski; and London Suite,” Coates. Other special programs and concerts which were of interest to music lovers was the Valley Orchestra Festival at Owosso. This festival was instituted at Northern last year when all bands, choirs and orchestras took part in a festival at the I. M. A. This year the program was split into three sections, band, orchestra and choir, each performing individually in a dif- ferent Valley city. The orchestra played at the M. E. A. convention October 14 as well as at the Senior Com- mencement program, May 28. At the Senior Play the orchestra played before the curtain was drawn and between acts. Orchestra members received their training in regularly scheduled classes as well as from much practice outside of school. Students who benefitted from additional work were pro- moted to lead their section of the orchestra. Students who had first chairs in the orchestra were Richard Carr, first violin; Robert Loeffer, Bud Bickert. drum major of the Northern band and Bill Potter, student conductor stand in the limelight. They hold two of the many responsible positions in the school music organizations. second violin; Ellen Madison, viola; Betty Everett, cello; Marion Harburn, bass; Betty Smurthwaite, flute; Bill Giaco- lone, clarinet; Oriel Spalding, bassoon; Wallace Gilmour, trumpet; George Fallon, trom- bone and D. V. Rice, percussion. Concert master for the past season was Richard Carr. The faculty director was Bernard A. Smith. They Strut Last year's drum major and student directors deserve indi- vidual praise for their coopera- tion in making the band a suc- cess in everything they under- took. Charles (Bud) Bickert who acted as drum major for North- ern's band was classed as one of the finest drum majors in the Saginaw Valley. Bud received much praise and many satisfy- ing compliments on his artful twirling and fancy stepping. Acting as concert master was Richard Carr, while Robert Conklin and William Potter assisted as student directors of the band. The music department is also deserving recognition for a sea- son of good music and enter- tainment which they furnished the public and the student body. -51- THE NOROSCOPE Just Like Professionals As a climax to the year's ac- tivity, the Northern a cappella choir under the direction of Le Roy Daniels, participated in the spring music festival in conjunc- tion with the band and orches- tra. This concert given in the place of an opera was the first of its kind to be presented at Northern. In addition to the a cappella choir the second choir and the girls' glee club also sang. Not only did they sing separately but they also sang accompanied by the orchestra and the second chorus. Although this concert was the biggest and most important musical event of the year, the choir was far from inactive dur- ing the rest of the year. The first appearance of the year was for the M. E. A. Con- vention, October 14 followed by a recital at the Court Street Methodist Church November 19. A month later came the most important concert of the first semester. This was the annual Christmas concert given at Cen- tral Auditorium, December 17. Musical minded people of this community judged this program the best in the history of the school. To further spread the Christmas spirit, the greater part of the program was re- peated for the Kiwanis club, December 21 and many carols were sung in Northern's halls, December 20 through 22. With these concerts behind them, the singers began to look forward to the Saginaw Valley Vocal Festival at Pontiac, March 16. At this concert in which five schools participated, Northern's work compared very favorably with the fine singing done by the other groups. Professor Alexander, distin- guished critic and guest con- ductor, from Michiqan State Normal College, Ypsilanti, stated that he would have liked to hear a full program from the Viking Choir and that he en- When the Northern music de- partment staged its first all school Music Festival May 15, it was a show put on by the larg- est group of trained Viking mu- sicians ever to entertain as a unit. Produced to replace the year- ly operetta, the festival was given entirely by student artists who composed Northern's band, orchestra, a cappella choir and second choir. Preliminary training was ac- quired by these groups in daily practice and poise and polish in their appearance at numer- joyed and realized the great achievement they had accom- plished by singing two of the most difficult numbers with the skill of professionals. Professor Alexander also praised Mr. Daniels as the best technical di- rector in the Saginaw Valley. During the afternoon many Northern students who were un- able to attend the festival en- joyed two numbers by each school over the Pontiac radio station. In addition the choir gave a concert at the Salvation Army Citadel March 9 and entertain- ed the Rotary Club at the Hotel Durant at noon on Good Friday. ous public recitals throughout the year. Because of the uncertainty of Spring weather the event was staged indoors in the Emerson gymnasium and seating capac- ity was limited. However the packed house fully enjoyed all the program. Although the a cappella choir carried the leading role other units of the music department showed to advantage. Each unit appeared in at least one solo in addition to participating in com- bination.

Viking arguers captured the city and Saginaw Valley champion- ships, and then moved on to encounter Grand Rapids Cen- tral in the finals of the State tournament for Northern's fourth state title entry. Squad debating, rather than individual team, was empha- sized. As the season began, Mr. Harrington had several exper- ienced speakers returning from the year before. These were combined with new squad members and divided into teams which soon became suc- cessful combinations. The prop- osition debated throughout the season was Resolved: That the federal government should own and operate the railroads. During the Fall season, the squad took part in five practice tournaments competing with different Michigan high schools. They were respectively held at River Rouge, Alma, Flint Cen- tral, Ionia and Rochester. The Vikings won a total of 47 of these debates while losing only 12 for a percentage of .756. Every member of the squad participated in at least five of the contests. Both City and Valley titles were at stake in the three Sagi- naw Valley tournaments, which became state league debates this year. The Vikings took an early lead by winning seven out of eight contests at Bay City. Four Northern teams traveled to Saginaw Eastern to anain win seven out of eight, but Flint Cen- tral took all of their encounters to move into a first place tie. This deadlock was broken in the final tourney at Central when Northern won six out of eight Oregon style debates. The Scarlet and Gray won a total of 20 debates against four de- feats to win over Central by three contests. Coach Harrington, in his sec- ond year as head debate men- tor, chose seniors Lorraine Mil- ler, William Tate and Bernard Didier to represent Northern in State League debates. The lat- ter two were also on last year's first team. This trio brought Northern state-wide fame by moving into the state finals for the fourth time in twelve years, more than any other school in Michigan. The Vikings won three out of four preliminaries and placed tops in the Saginaw Valley to enter the tourney. Miss Miller, Mr. Tate and Mr. Didier defeated Lansing Central twice and Melvindale while los- ing to Jackson in the prelimin- aries. The district trophy was taken when Northern eliminated Grand Rapids Union after draw- ing a bye. Lorraine, Bill and Bernard were then paired with their traditional city rival. Cen- tral, defending state champion, and were victorious. Next in order were Howell and King- ston as Northern captured a berth in the finals. The finals took place April 26 at Hill Auditorium, Ann Ar- bor. The Scarlet-Gray trio de- fending the affirmative side, en- countered Grand Rapids Cen- tral, but lost a close 2 to 1 de- cision climaxing the state title conquest. The squad itself, made up of eleven seniors, five juniors and five sophomores, took part in 81 decision and 33 non-decision debates for a total of 114. In the State league debates Northern won 27 and lost six for a .819 percentage. These students took part in the State League Debates: Wil- liam Tate, Bernard Didier, Lor- raine Miller, Philip Sanford, Max Bryer, Douglas Anderson, Helen Lindsay, John Schaadt, William Moss, Walter Fisher, Simon Indianer, Martha Brad- shaw, Jean Woodard, Bruce Cooke, Margaret Farmer.

Indianer and Experimental and Society The Biology club was organ- ized with the two-fold purpose of encouraging the study of science and promoting social enjoyment. Among this year's activities were several educational trips. These included tours of Hurley Hospital, the Algoe-Gundry Funeral Home and the McDon- ald Dairy. Another great inter- est of the members was motion pictures, particularly those dealing with natural Michigan life and fishing. Although the club is among the largest at school it has the greatest change over in enroll- ment at the close of each year because it is a club of peculiar interest to sophomores in whose curriculums the subject is a re- quirement. The officers of the club were: Mary Elaine Walters, president; Ray Schad, vice president; Viv- ian Earl, secretary; Norma Al- len, treasurer. Howard Braden was the sponsor. How They Talk Northern's speech classes un- der the coaching of Frederic Harrington have staged four highly successful speech con- tests throughout the year, con- tests which have been another rung in the ladder of success for the school. Heading the list of contests was the local extemporaneous speaking meet for schools in Flint. Bernard Didier achieved the goal of first place and Mar- garet Farmer second place. Douglas Anderson and Ruth Lewinson tied for third place. First place in the declamation contest was taken by Raymond Ambrose, second by John Quin and third by Betty Jane French and Ralph Smith. The oratory contest placed Tean Woodard in top place, Philip Sanford in second and Max Bryer third. The sub district meet which makes up the whole Saginaw Valley was held April 19, 1940. In this contest Raymond Am- brose who was in first place in the Declamation contest gained the honor of first place and Ber- nard Didier winner of first place in the extemporaneous contest was second.

Attention All Ye Frenchmen Roman Review Founded both to give enter- tainment and to furnish infor- mation concerning Roman life, the Latin club provided interest- ing programs for its members. One of the outstanding events was the potluck dinner held early in the second semester. Betty Thompson and Patricia Shepherd were in charge of the refreshments and Peggy Barr arranged the program. Awards were presented by the club on senior award night to the senior boy and girl who had given the most service to the school. On April 15, the club program was made up of alumnae Larry Cranston, Richard Crooks and Bruce Turner who played trum- pet trios. Ruth Seder, Maxine Romans and Thelma Hayward sang with Bryan Brooks as ac- companist. William Tate and Jane Hunter directed the activities as consul primus and consul secundus, re- spectively. They were assisted by Janey Humphrey, guaestor and Martha Bradshaw and Mar- garet Tripp, each of whom filled the office of secretarius. Educational meetings are the main diversion of Le Cercle Francois, better known to stud- ents as the French club, which is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Dorothy Harvey. One exceptionally interesting meeting was made so by play- ing “Charades . “Charades is a word game that deals with, words and places in France. The word is acted out by the player and the audience at- tempts to guess the word that is being enacted. Another outstanding meeting was the Christmas meeting when various members of the club gave reports on Yuletide customs in foreign lands. French Christmas carols were sung and poems recited. Still another form of entertainment was pro- moted by taking the club name “Le Cercle Francais and try- ing to see how many words of two or three letters could be obtained from it. Officers of the club included Mary Rood, president; Shirley Steele, vice president; Ted Schmidt, secretary and Margar- et Galloway, treasurer. — 55 — THE NOROSCOPE Sona of Northern are the members of the Viking Ht-Y, the oldest Hi-Y group at Northern Bottom row, felt to right: lack Thorp, Bob Seager, William Russell, fames Contos and Joseph Gulish, Jr.: second row: Bill Tate Albert Gilpin.

Members of the Hi-Y served as ushers at school assemblies and the senior play. The parch- ed tongues of jitterbugs at the school dances were moistened by beverages from the soda pop stand sponsored and run by the Hi-Y boys of the school. The Eskimo boys placed first in the basketball league for the Hi-Ys of Flint. Boys composing the winning team were Bob Ernst, Ray Procunier, Ray Me Fee, Julius Frey, Bill Wiltz and James Parciarelli. Meetings of the club were taken up with speakers and dis- cussions pertaining to the ideals for which they stand. Some of the meetings were held jointly with the other Y groups of the school, while others were spent in participation of athletic practice. Aiding the other Y groups at Northern, the Eskimo boys took part in the ninth annual Youth Night, Come Clean Week and the Older Boys' Con- ference. Officers of the club for the school year were Bob Wilson, president; Gerard Shuirman, vice president; James Parciar- elli, treasurer and Ray McFee, secretary. The group was spon- sored by Stanley Kuick, instruc- tor. Oldest Boys Group Membership meetings and in- duction services, outings, talks by community speakers, and the annnual come-clean week were outstanding events of the Viking Hi-Y this year. Included among the club's ac- tivities were Youth Night and the Older Boys’ Conference, two yearly Hi-Y affairs. The Viking Hi-Y was well represented at the conference which was held in Flint on December 8 and 9 1939. The club's activities were sponsored by Clare Dean, so- cial studies instructor, and were led by William Tate, president; Edward Neithercut, vice presi- dent; Bruce Cooke, secretary and Euqene Malecki, treasurer Other boys who contributed much of their time and energy to help make the club success- ful were A1 Gilpin, Jim Contos, Bill Russell, Ray Ambrose and Fred Salim. Among the outstanding speakers who addressed the boys were Richard Mine who presented a most enlightening talk on Japanese Manners and Customs, Howard Braden who gave the boys an account of his track exDeriences while attend- ing the University of Michigan, and R°v. Frank Smith of the Court Street Methodist Church who told the club of his ideas about Coming Clean. One of the most entertaining events of the club was a color film which was shown by Louis D.

Two Years Old After completing a second year of activity, the Norsemen Hi-Y points with pride to its en- viable record. For the first se- mester the group was under the leadership of O. W. Branch. The second semester, however, Hez- ekiah Bibbs, vice-president, be- came president through the graduation of O. W. Branch. The other officers were William Jackson, secretary and Clifford Fielder, treasurer. Meetings were held on Mon- day evenings from 7 to 9 o'clock, part of the time, the group spent in the gym prac- ticing basketball and participat ing in various other sports. As part of the regular busi- ness meetings, several well- known business men talked on the different phases of business. Arthur Crompton, Y director, spoke on The Hi-Y and its His- tory.'' Mr. Robinson, former col- ored Hi-Y director, now an in- surance dealer, lectured about The Principles of Life.'' Joseph Berch, negro lawyer, held the attention of an interested group while speaking of Law As a Vocation. Undertaker Mr. Wil- liams, also a negro, spoke of Embalming as a Vocation and the social and recreational di- rector of the Negro Recreation Center on St. John Street. Mr. Banner, talked of his work. They Darticipated in the sen- ior Hi-Y council which regu- lates the actions of the Hi-Y's all over the city. Representa- tives of the Norsemen were Hez- ekiah Bibbs and John Wilkin- son. They also supported the other Hi-Y's in the annual school come clean week. The Norsemen sponsored a team in the high school Hi-Y basketball league. Although the team fared very badly and wound up in the cellar accord- ing to the Hi-Y standings, they gave an excellent account of themselves several times dur- ing the regular season. Youngest Hi- Y Northern Lights was the new- est addition to Northern Hi-Y groups. Under the direction of Charles Kemp, the club is com- posed of twenty-five members who meet every Tuesday night. The officers of the Northern Lights were Joe Husak, presi- dent; Albert Kitchen, vice-presi- dent; Wayne Ross, treasurer and Joe Bobalik, secretary. The purpose of the Northern Lights was to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian living throughout the school and community. The Northern Lights basket- ball team participated in the Hi-Y league. Many interesting programs were also carried out by the group. The Youth Hour service was presented at the First Baptist church on Sunday, March 31. The program for the evening was prepared by Hi-Y, Girl Re- serves, and Y Girl groups of both Northern and Central. Rab- bi Elmer Berger spoke on Ad- venturing Youth. Many students attended this important student activity which proved very interesting and successful. The purpose of the Youth Hour is to give high school students an opportunity to at- tend an evening service plan- ned by high school students for high school students. Youngest Hi-Y. the Northern Lights, proved their presence by aiding their elders in pro- moting school projects. Bottom row, left to right: John Bobalik, Howard Laundre.

Colored Girl Reserves erine Ford and Bebe ryer, Kath- Bernice Handicraft Interests The Progressive Colored Girl Reserves have made craftwork their main project for this year's activities. They have been very helpful to both the Old News- boys and the Needlework Guild by aiding in drives for the poor. Knitting, weaving, embroidery and crocheting were taught by the sponsor, Miss Georgia Touner. Parties, dances and teas, highlighted by a Mother and Daughter banquet and a spec- ial party for graduating seniors comprised the social program for the year. The girls honored at this special party were Bebe Boier, Genevieve Crier, Odessa Ford, Alvernice Saylor and Mary Ellen V alker. At the annual election of of- ficers Alvernice Saylor was chosen president, Bebe Boier was named vice president and Katherine Ford and Odessa Ford were elected to hold the offices of secretary and treas- urer respectively. Chairmen for the various com- mittees v ere also selected. They are Mary Ellen Walker, publicity;’ Odessa Ford, mem- bership; Clara Branch, program and Ellen Luckado, finance. Service Because the demand for membership in a typical girls' club was so large that the ”Y girls could no longer function properly, the club was split up and a new girls' organization started. It was called the G. R. Girls. The new club had func- tions similar to the parent or- ganization, the “Y Girls, and was sponsored by Mrs. LeNoire Fish. Active community service by the club began at Christmas time when the girls dressed var- ious types of dolls which were donated to cheer the children of needy families. Later, the girls extended their dress mak- ing ability to sewing garments for the Needle Work Guild. In addition to these projects special speakers talked to the girls at regular club meetings and joint meetings with the MY Girls and Hi-Y Boys were held. Special representatives of the club at the annual Girl Reserve Conference at Battle Creek in February were Ruth Van Dyke and Rhoda Loder. Officers were Evelyn Snyder, president; Marjorie Snyder, vice president; Patricia Shepard, sec- retary and Ruth Van Dyke, treasurer. -58- THE NOROSCOPE Swoot-tooth craving s Misfiors wore the Y Girls, who sold candy at Northern's home basketball games Bottom row. left to right; Sara- ellen Miller.

Another meeting was held with the Hi- Y's and G. R. Girls. Rev. Frank Smith spoke on Come Clean , the theme for a character build- ing week sponsored by the groups. The members sewed baby garments for the Needlework Guild at several special meet- ings. They also furnished Christ- mas baskets for needy families Late Starters Despite the fact that they didn't get started until late the first semester, the Camera club has had many interesting meet- ings. The object of the Camera club is not merely to learn how to take pictures in the most effec- tive manner, but also to learn to develop, print and enlarge their pictures.

Up until the past year it has been the custom to let any girl of Northern represent the school in intramural and interscholas- tic sports. Now the trend has changed and the N club members brought forth the eli- gibility cards on which the girls are graded on attitude, coop- eration, dependability and days absent in all of their classes. This is the only club at Northern that recognizes and gives credit for perfect attendance for the semester. If a girl cannot make the standard of all satisfactory marks, she is dropped from the group representing the athletic department for a period of six weeks or until she can raise the unsatisfactory marks. The eligibility cards were started under the direction of Miss Dorothy Breda and Miss Lina Tyler by Audrey Wendell, president of the Amicae Ludor- um, Barbara Crouch and Helen Hillman.

This well balanced Viking eleven, laying more stress upon team-work than on individual performances, soared to city and Saginaw Valley champion- ships and staked its claim to the mythical State headoiece. The season was the third in the 12- year history of the school that a Northern grid squad could boast a perfect record.

Brief Story of Season's Play Northern 20, Lansing Eastern 13 A 20-0 halftime lead spelled victory for the Vikings as they dominated play completely in the third and fourth quarters but they went home on the hot end of a 20-13 count. Northern 13, Muskegon Hts. 7 Again building up an early lead, the Red-Gray gridders overwhelmed a strong Heights eleven on the latter's home grounds. Featured in the slam bang intersectional clash were the Viking's two first half touch- down marches. Northern 20, Arthur Hill G Northern opened its league schedule by downing Arthur Hill at Saginaw. The win stamp- ed the Vikings as the team to beat in the valley race. Bud ' Fromholz, burly Northern flank- man was outstanding as he scored two touchdowns on end around plays. Northern 20, Bay City 7 Before the largest throng ever to witness a Viking tilt, exclud- ing Central games, Guy Hou- ston's gang squelched a pre viously unbeaten Bay City eleven with a whirlwind second half attack. Played at Atwood Stadium, the game typified the versatile Northern offense. Starring Ed- die Krupa the Viking employed sweeps, plunges and passes to good advantage as they over- came a 7-0 first quarter deficit. By defeating Bob Ernst in the finals, John Heavner took the annua! fall golf cham- pionship. Heavner is a senior and also played on the football squad. Northern 36, Pontiac 0 Using almost every member of the squad, the Vikings over- powered a woefully weak Pon- tiac eleven on the Northern field. Northern 32, Owosso 0 This was the first night game ever played by a Viking eleven but from all aspects the Mazdas didn't seem to hinder the boys too much. Northern 14, Saginaw Eastern 0 Despite the fact this game was a distinct letdown by the pow- erful Vikings, a weak Trojan eleven didn't threaten. Northern 13. River Rouge 12 In what was probably the toughest game of the season, a spirited Northern aggregation spurted valiantly in the closing minutes to nose out its power- ful downstate rival. Although Bud Fromholz's con- version provided the victory margin, the real Viking torch bearer was Earl Kelly, alternate end who scored one touchdown and set up the other. -65- THE NOROSCOPE Throughout Northern'� undefeated season this group of seniors valiantly played their last year of high school football. In addition to taking the third Wildanger trophy, they captured valley and state honors under Guy Houston's able tutilage. Top row: left to right: Robe;t Bohl.

Both squads had so far completed perfect seasons, and three titles, city, valley and state, were at stake. After a bitterly-fought strug- gle, the Vikings emerged vic- torious. Central was superior during the first half, but North- ern came back strong at the opening of the third quarter to score two touchdowns in the first four minutes. Due to the fine work of Fran- cis Nitzschke, Indian back, Cen- tral held a 6 to 0 edge at half- time. He bored through the Vik- ing forward wall and tossed passes to Clint Bostwick, Joe Suhayda and Harold Kaczynski. After their gcalward drives had been turned back because of the defensive work of Jim Par- ciarelli, Wally Dutkowski and Don Norton, the Indians started another march. This time, Nitz- schke took the ball off-tackle, barged through Northern's de- fense and lugged the ball 25 yards for the tally. His conver- sion failed. After suppressing another In- dian drive, Northern went to the showers a dampened team. However when the Scarlet- Gray rushed on to the field for the second half, it was evident that a new spirit was in them. Nitzschke kicked off and Northern returned it to midfield. — 67 — Wally Gilmour tore through Central's line for twelve and then threw a pass to Eddie Krupa. Krupa snagged it, twist- ed and turned for 35 yards down the south sideline evading In- dian defensemen. The run was sensational and typified Krupa's play throughout the season. Bud Fromhclz, all-state end, converted the point and North- ern had a 7 to 6 lead. A few seconds later, the Vik- ings recovered an Indian fum- ble to pave the way for another score. Gilmour again faded back and passed to Len Sweet who galloped several yards to Central's goal line. Fromholz again converted and the con- test was sewed up for Northern.

A vastly improved Viking squad played the powerful Ben- dle high school team October 27 and held them to a 13-13 tie. The final game of the season was with Lapeer October 31.

They Swam and They Swam They Aided Kenneth Maves, John Eitel and Ray Procunier were the lads who served as football managers throughout North- ern's 1939 state championship campaign. The latter two will be back next fall to continue their duties while Maves closed his managerial career. Among their responsibilities was the handling of all football equipment, serving as water boy and helping the players keep in good physical condi: tion. These boys cooperated with Coach Houston and the coaching staff to carry out these duties. Kenneth, John and Ray ac- companied the team to every game. As a reward for their ser- vices, each received a mana- ger's letter at the football ban- quet and will receive a boy's athletic award upon their grad- uation. Little does the average foot- ball fan realize the importance of efficient student managers to the success of a grid team. Per- haps the most important re- sponsibility to the team's suc- cess is keeping the boys in good shape, giving them rub- downs, taping their ankles, tak- ing care of minor bruises, and other duties. Swimming was a popular ac- tivity of Northern's athletic pro- gram throughout the 1939-40 season. The Boys' Swimming club, under the direction of Louis Nickels, held meets be- tween the hours of seven and nine every Wednesday evening in the Central pool. The swimming season lasted from October to April with ap- proximately sixty-five students participating. The average at- tendance for each meeting was forty-eight. It wasn't necessary to be a member of the organi- zation in order to attend the classes. Instructors were pres- ent to aid beginners. Among the different water ac- tivities were water polo, tag, diving contests, relay and indi- vidual races. Swimming activities showed a sharp improvement through- out the season with boys taking an enthused interest. Over twenty more swimmers turned out this year than last. Mr. Nick- els' squad participated in a few swimming meets, and swim- ming may be another feature of the Viking sports program if active interest is continued in the future. -69- THE NOROSCOPE Second in the state cross country meet was taken by the Northern squad Bottom row. left to right: Gordon Cates, Norman Kiefer, John Cmejrek.

They Run for It Matching their 1938 record of two wins and one loss against the same teams, in 4he 1939 season Northern's cross country team opened up in big compe- tition by taking second place in both the Dear- born regional and the state finals held at Ypsilanti No- vember 4. Lansing East- ern lost 31 -24 September 30 at Lansing, be- ing the victims of the Viking's first dual meet of 1939. October 6, the Harriers were beaten 44-15 by Flint Central in the city title match. In this meet Central monopolized the scor- ing positions completely. Saginaw invaded the Norse- man course October 20 and was routed by the lusty total of 41 to 18, Northern this time allow- ing the invaders only third place in the first 15. The Vikings scored 78 points in the Dearborn regionals and 129 in the State finals. Seniors awarded monograms were Captain Paul Dumler, Gor- don Cates, Lyle Gardner, Har- old Jacobs and Ted Jesionek. Letters were given to Roland Roberges and Charles Snyder, juniors and Sheridan Tucker, sophomore. Harold Braden was cross country coach. Pepper-Uppers The pep and enthusiasm which prevailed in athletic en- counters at Northern, during the past few years, can largely be credited to the cheer-leading squad under the direction of Coach Edmund Love. Constant practice, to make their work as near perfect as possible, con- tinued through both basketball and football seasons. In looking forward to a new year, Mr. Love hopes that a large squad of prospective leaders will turn out. It is only through a large turnout and active competition that the best in cheer-leading can result. This year's group was made up of Captain Isadore Sugarman, fCeith Alder, Bob Wilson, Joe Daniewski, Ed O'Niel, Ed Buck- holz, Bob Gillespie, Dennis Sul- livan and Adrian Abbott. Fall Champ John Heavner, a senior, won the Northern annual Fall golf tournament by outlasting a field of 16 mashie wielders in match competition. Held early in the fall, the tour- ney served to give Coach Les Ehrbright a line on his team for this spring. Play was held on a handicap basis. This put the average duf- fer on a par with the experienc- ed golfer and tended to make things more interesting. Heavner's victim in the finals was Bob Ernst, a veteran links- man who had led the 1939 team to City, Valley and Regional championships. Ernst succumb- ed by a 2 and 1 score. The remarkable side of Heav- ner's success is the fact that he had little time to devote to golf last fall. A halfback on the foot- ball squad, John had to sched- ule his matches at odd hours so they would not interfere with gridiron practice.

Another City, Valley, State Title Northern's smooth working basketball team held absolute supremacy in state scholastic circles during the 1939-40 sea- son. Every single game the Eskimos played they won, and by this accom- plishment cap- tured the city, valley and the state cham- pionships. The squad, coach- ed by Jim Bar- clay, ran its streak of suc- cessive wins to 29 games. Letter Winners Ralph Gibert John Anderson Bob Holloway Steve Zofchak Dick Holloway Cliff Fielder Leonard Sweet John Bero Edward Krupa David Levinson Earl Kelley Dan O'Hare Edward Zbiciak George Mills MANAGERS Floyd Tymrak Harold Mitchell Team play was emphasized with no one player monopoliz- ing complete honors. Perhaps the most outstanding player was Ralph Gibert, tall senior center. His fame came through his abil- ity on rebounding backboard shots and steady, consistent play throughout the state tourn- ament. As a reward, Gibert be- came the sixth Eskimo to be placed on the all-state five, and the first to be named captain. Bob and Dick Holloway pre- sented one of the smoothest guard combinations ever to be seen on a Michigan high school team. Their passing and guard- ing was an outstanding feature in the Viking attack. Bob was placed on the all-state second team. Len Sweet and Eddie Krupa showed consistent scrap- piness and always proved a thorn in their opponent's side. The defensive work of Sweet was exceptional. Gibert, Bob Holloway and Sweet all made the all-valley five with Dick Holloway and Earl Kelly mak- ing the second team. Kelly, all-state center of last year state champions, grad- uated along with Johnny Ander- son in February. This gave Bar- clay a chance to build up what he calls his greatest Northern team. Not only was it strong of- fensively, but its defense was a deciding factor in many games. If one player was not having a good offensive game, another would break through with sev- eral points. Individual scoring records were not considered important and cooperative team play was.

The championship, gained in a most convincing style, was the fourth in the last eight years for the Vikings and extended their current winning streak to 29 consecutive games — a new high for any Northern athletic team. To Coach Jimmy Barclay goes much of the credit for Viking basketball supremacy. The workman-like manners his crew put forth would have turned many a college team green with envy. Concensus of opinion among the majority of the Viking fol- lowers was that this year's five was the best that has ever come out of Northern. It simply ran its opponents into the ground with its hustle and team play. Proof that the Vikings were a well knit and well coordinated unit can be found in the fact that scoring honors were well distri- buted throughout the season and the tournament play. The Vikings overcame a tre- mendous advantage in heighth to win their initial Regional tus- sle at Lansing. This was a 26-21 victory over a towering Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills quintet. Ed Krupa and Ralph Gibert led the Northern attack with 8 points apiece. The Eskimos then beat Saginaw Eastern 38-2P the following evening to clinch the Regional championship. Viking torch bearer in this clash was Bob Holloway, who rang the bell for 12 points. Northern speeded up its tem- po in its quarter final match with Muskegon High by stamp- ing out a decisive 35-15 tri- umph. The Viking defense, rated the finest on any Michigan High school team in recent years, was outstanding. Northern's semi-final victim was none other than Flint Cen- tral whom the Vikings had de- feated twice during the regular campaign. The Indians, how- ever, had come a long way under tournament fire, and were a spirited and vastly im- proved outfit. In what was prob- ably the toughest match of the tourney by a 28-23 count. A timely first half offensive out- burst and a stout defense paved the way. Gibert championed the Northern cause by tallying 14 points and turning in a great rebounding performance. Ford- son High School was Northern's foe in the finals. The game was the last hurdle in the path of Barclay's gang and the Tractors constituted the strongest type of opposition. However, the Vikings swept to a 28-17 victory over the Dear- born quintet in a clash that drew 7,000 fans to the mammoth Jenison Field House at East Lansing. Clamping an air-tight defense on the bewildered Trac- tors, the Vikings jumped off to an early lead from which they were never headed. Bob Holloway, handicapped by an injured ankle, led the Northern attack with 10 points. However, an equal amount of credit went to Gibert and Krupa for their under-the-basket work, and Sweet and Dick Holloway for their fight and aggressive- ness. Gibert, mainly on his work in the State tourney was awarded positions on both the Detroit Free Press and Detroit Times All State teams. Bob Holloway was named to second team guard position on both quintets. -72- THE NOROSCOPE Action in state semi-finals when Northern succeeded in defeating Central to gam revenge for a reverse at Central's hands in the 193' state meet Top left: Sweet and Krupa beating Kupper and Johnson of Central to the rebound lop center: Zofcnak taking the ball from Garrett of Central Top right: Krupa adds two points to Northern's total Lower left.

The reserves defeated every team in the valley once with the ex- tion of Owos- so and Sagi- naw. We beat Owosso twice, and Saginaw won over our team twice. This year’s reserve squad will have an important job to perform when they will fill the varsity vacancies resulting from graduation.

Members of this squad were Bob Ernst, Jim Parciarelli, Bill Lawson, Phil Sanford, Ray Pro- cunier, Bill Wiltz and Ray Me Phee. The Viking Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Clare Dean, fin- ished in a tie for third place. Playing on this team were Ted Gilbert, Bud Hultquist, Ray- mond Ambrose, Jim Kontos, Al- bert Giloin, Carl Kontyko and Fred Salim. The Northern Lights and Norsemen, respectively under Charles Kemp and Charles Wright, made their debut in the league with little success. The Coach Ehrbright Ehrbright also expects Erland Edmunds, Ted Manyak and Bob Kelley to aid the varsity the latter half of next season. As a whole the reserve squad suc- ceeded in giving valuable ex- perience to future varsity men. former, composed of sopho- mores, showed promise with Ed Fejdelem, Joe Hasak and Emil Marcett leading the way. Prom- inent for the Norsemen were Hezekiah Bibbs, Henry Smith, Ivory Lee Watkins, Earl Mitchell and William Hogan. In season's play, the Eskimo Hi-Y overcame an early lead held by the Central Chiefs by defeating them 21 to 12 in the second round. The first and sec- ond place teams tangled in a two-out-of-three playoff series. In their first meeting at North- ern, the Eskimos emerged vic- torious by a 32 to 26 count. The second fray was held at Central with the Chiefs winning 31 to 29. The Chiefs copped the cham- pionship by takinq the final 25 to 24 at the Y. M. C. A.

The team of last year took City, Valley and mythical State hon- ors by winning every schedul- ed qame. This year's squad has only three of these let- terwinners re- turning for Coach Harold Reynolds. They areJohn Bero. ace third sacker. Louis Bare, star left- handed pitcher, and Bill Kat- zenberger, consistent catcher. The main part of this year's ag- gregation will be built around this trio. Bare pitched eight vic- tories last spring and is expect- ed to carry the bulk of the pitch- ing burden. Joe Mizrock, Steve Zofchak and Bill Wiltz are also members of the pitching staff.

Best In Several Years Northern's 1940 track squad started the season under the dual coaching of Earl Beckman and Howard Braden. Early spring meets found a vastly im- proved group of thinclads as compared with the squad of a year before. Several men have consistently placed high in in- terscholastic contests. Among the most outstanding are Veryl Shreve, miler who established a new record in a city meet, and Hezekiah Bibbs, who specializes in the 120 high and 200 low hurdles. Paul Hub- bard showed promise as a shot putter and Cliff Fielder and Rol- and Roberge were also bright spots in the Viking squad. Shreve and Dan O'Hare, high jumper and hurdler, were the only returning lettermen. Other leading tracksters were Bob Waldon and Stan Vivian, quarter-miler and half-miler re- spectively. Dashmen were Wal- ly Gilmour, Marty Vedrody and Henry Smith; Henry Caldwell, Warren Solden, Waldon and Paul Yuresko in the 880. Sheri- dan Tucker is also a miler with Shreve and Roberge. Fielder. O'Hare and Csapo are high jumpers with Hubbard, Ash, Harold Kruse and Esia compet- itors in shot putting. The 880 yard relay team was composed of Gilmour, Smith, Vedrody and Bibbs. Nearly all of these boys are underclassmen and therefore will be valuable next year. In the first two meets of the sea- son, Viking thinclads came in last, but showed great promise in material for the remaining meets. TRACK SCHEDULE April 19—Central, Pontiac. .

Green bushes and shrubbery will be set around the football field and are certain to add to the attractiveness. Vines have already been entwined in the fences. There also is a possibil- ity that tennis courts will be erected adjacent to the football field.

Coach Louis Nickels, Frederic Snyder, Allan Streeter, manager, Arnold Gerka, Joseph Daniewski and Jack Lazar Called for Re-building With only one returning letter man, this year's golf club had to rely almost entirely on new ma- terial for its season's success. Bob Ernst, graduating senior, was the veteran around whom Coach Lester Ehrbright molded his squad. John Heavner, senior and winner of the fall handicap tour- nament, also returned for ser- vice on the spring team. The 1940 squad were defending city, valley, and regional titles which they won last year. An added incentive for this year's competition was the new trophy donated by Richard Darnton, father of one of North- ern's best known athletic fam- ilies. This new trophy will be given the city champion. Boys trying out for varsity were Robert Fowls, Ray Svang, John Balch, Clarence Johnson, Ted Manyak, Bud Bender, Bill Lord, Keith Alder, Arthur Para- dis, Bob Pemberton and Walter Lewis.

Inclement weather kept the squad indoors until two weeks before the first match and hin- dered Coach Louis Nickels in his attempt to get a line on the starting team. The return- ing lettermen were George Wheeler and Gerard Shuirman. They were expected to hold down the num- bers one and two positions. The remainder of the squad was of an unknown quality. Al- though some of the members showed up well in early drills, it was evident that inexperience would be the team's biggest handicap. Viking netters making de'er- mined bids for the remaining singles posts were Ralph Gibert, a truly great all-around athlete. Joe Daniewski, Louis Ekhardt, Fred Snyder, Tom Connolly, Bill Anderton, Bruce Cooke and Bill Crawford. Mr. Nickels, in his first three matches, lined his players up in the following order: No. 1, Wheeler, No. 2, Shuirman, No. 3, Gibert, No. 4, Jack Plew, No. 5, Daniewski and No. 6, Cooke or Lyle Barnhart. The doubles teams were made up of Wheel- er and Plew, Shuirman and Gi- bert and Connolly and Brownie Chillik. Season's Schedule April 18—Central ........

All of the teams played off a round robin tour- nament and the sophomore, junior and senior team that had won the most games were the only ones in the final games to decide the winner of the trophy, which proved to be the senior class represented by the Michi- gan State team. The Michigan State team had the best record of any girls' basketball squad this year by winning all of their games which numbered five. The team was forced to play two games on the final wind-up day. In their first game they won over the junior team, and after fifteen minutes rest came out on the floor with more fight than ever to win over the inexperienced sophomores 34-8. The new trophy was present- ed to Marguerite Kelly, captain of the Michigan State team at Get Lessons A golf instruction class held during the eight o'clock sports class was enjoyed by the junior and senior girls of Northern this spring. Mrs. Donald Weiss, a native of Flint and present state golf champion of 1939 was the instructor. Girls in the class weren't the only ones to take advantage of the opportunity that Mrs. Weiss gave. Many who didn't have classes and were either juniors or seniors came into the gym and received the free instruc- tion. Each girl brought a driver and a mid iron to class and the fundamentals of each were the subjects of Mrs. Weiss' class. A huge net was hung from a beam in the gymnasium and the practice balls were hit from one end of the gym into the net. the annual basketball banquet that was held jointly with Cen- tral High school. The trophy stands about two feet high and is gold with a walnut base. It has a golden eagle on either side of a girl basketeer. This trophy takes the place of the old silver one because it, hav- ing been used for so many years had filled all the space on the silver plate surrounding the base of the trophy. Girls who played on the Michigan State team were Mar- guerite Kelly, Helen Leach, Madoline Smith, Marjorie John- son, Jane Hunter and Margaret Norko. Modified Gym Class A modified physical educa- tion class was set up in the girls' athletic department for the first time in the history of North- ern High school. The only stud- ents who were admitted to this class were girls who for some reason were physically unable to participate in the regular physical education classes. The class instructed by Miss Dorothy Breda was very in- formal so that the girls would not become conscious of any- one else's physical defects. The class carried on many tournaments such as Chinese checkers, jacks and shuffle board. For those who could take part in more active activities ping pong, paddle tennis, arch- ery, badminton and croquet were offered. Miss Lina Tylsr, left, and Miss Dorothy Breda, right, are responsible for all girls' gym activity. The new Frances Lyon trophy being pre- sented to Marguerite Kelly, captain of the Michigan State team, by Miss Frances Lyon, donor. Each girl in the class was made very conscious of her own posture. They discussed how posture helped them to develop their own personality and beau- ty, and made very constructive criticism on each other's pos- ture. Gym Leaders The Amicae Ludorum is the social club of the girls' athletic department at Northern and promotes a friendly spirit among the girls competing in the athletic program. In the past year the club has given three purely social par- ties for its members and spon- sored the annual hockey ban- auet which was held in the Northern cafeteria. The basketball banquet held jointly with Central High School was also planned with a com- mittee headed by the toastmis- tress from Northern, Audrey Wendell. The officers of the club were Audrey Wendell, president; Rhoda Loder, vice-president and Annalee Jenings, secretary and treasurer. -78- THE NOROSCOPE Kids Win The Dead End Kids ' a sen- ior girls' field hockey team put up a good fight to win the girls' intramural hockey title from the Nine Little Fishes ' a junior team, with a score of 3-1, one of the season's closest scores. The Kids” were all members of the morning sports class under the direction of Miss Dorothy Breda. The members of the team were Hazel Abbott, Ruth Banks, Virginia Bird, Virginia Collier, Bertha Glover, Muriel Gray, Dorothy Fleming, Jean Harris, Betty Iilly, Helen Lipka, Alice Millhouse, Verna Pavlick, Jac- queline Peck, Betty Rice, Mado- line Smith and Frances Weck- ler. The girls who played on the Nine Little Fishes” team were Gwendolyn Smith, Ruth Van Dyke, Emma Miller, Margaret Zembo, Rhoda Loder, Patricia Shepherd, Evelyn Vassaw, Betty Sarver, Phyllis Downer, Mary Jane Castle and Jean Addison. The sophomore team did very outstanding work, but they were defeated by the junior team 5-2. Those who played on the sophomore team were Cath- erine McTaggart, Violet Mis- kow, Helen Schriner, Idella Al- len, Jean Gillies, Mary Ellen LaBeau, Margaret Lee, Marion Hooper, Eleanor Farmer and Margaret Galloway. Before any games were play- ed, a great deal of time was spent on learning fundamentals. This not only produced better hockey, but also made more en- joyment for the players. By the time the season was well under way, the girls had become quite skilled and were handling them- selves like veterans. The champion Dead End Kids” numbered among their roster many of the girls that had won the title the previous year as juniors. These girls have improved their hockey game more than any other girls at Northern Top picture, juniors, lront row, left to right: Emma Miller, Gwendolyn Smith, Patricia Shepherd and Phyllis Downer; back row Ruth VanDyke, Irene Fee, Vivian Town, Betty Sarver and Georgiana McQuigg Middle picture, seniors, front row. left to right Helen Lipka.

Madolyn Smith and Lose Two to One The annual interschool bas- ic etball games between the Northern and Central girls were played in the Whittier Junior High school gymnasium on March 19 with the outcome just the opposite of last year's games. As Central was host, loyal Viking rooters (mostly feminine) turned out in droves to watch the contests and spur their fav- orites on at Whittier. A group of energetic Northern girls took over the cheer leading and did a fine job. These included Betty Smurthwaite. Irene Fee and Vir- ginia Leister. In the first conflict of the even- ing. Northern sophomores put up a determined fight with Cen- tral's first year girls only to lose with a score of 17-5. The junior game proved to be the thriller of the evening. This year as was last year. Jean Ad- dison proved her ability to be a steady player and high scorer. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied with only one bucket apiece, and the second jDassed with only two free shots from our home team. However, active play began in the second half with both teams more de- termined than ever to win. The Viking lasses played on an even keel throughout and came out on top with a score of 14-13. The final game of the evening was merely the law of aver- ages taking hold of evenly matched teams and bringing out a low score game. The out- come was Central winning over Northern with a good margin of five points. Marguerite Kelly and Madoline Smith each made a basket to bring the final score to 9-5. For two successive years the Northern junior team has come out on top. and it is hoped that they can keep up the record and make it perfect. Although the sophomore team was defeated this year, they show much promise for the coming game of 1941. -80- THE NOROSCOPE An enthusiastic Viking is O F Norwalk, principal, not only as a follower of the Scarlet and Gray in the competitive fields but also as a booster of better living and scholastic standards. Principal With the well being of the student body and the faculty ever in mind, Principal O. F. Norwalk daily goes about di- recting the school activities. However, school activities do not take up all his time. Listed among his favorite recreations are gardening, trout fishing and reading educational literature. He is an enthusiastic Northern sports fan and at one time was a coach. Principal Norwalk is past- president of Saginaw Valley Principals Association and past vice-president of Flint Princi- pals and Supervisors Associa- tion. He is chairman of City Vo- cational Guidance committee and chairman of Commercial and Cafeteria committee of the City of Flint. Mr. Norwalk is also a member of the following committees: Ac- tivities committee of the Michi- gan Principals Association, Boys' Work committee of the city Y. M. C. A., Executive com- mittee of the Boy Scouts, Michi- gan State committee of the North Central association of col- leges and secondary schools and Vocational Guidance and Scholarship committees of the Flint Kiwanis club. Mias Frances Lyon, dean of girls, makes her office a place of interest not only for girls but for the rest of the school through a bulletin board chromcalling all Northern activities. Hilmer Olson, dean of boys, rap- idly and successfully fitted into his new high post and appreciation for him was ex- pressed through dedication of the 1940 Noroscope to him. The Deans Busy assistants of Mr. Nor- walk and Miss Hillier are the deans for both boys and girls. Among her many duties. Miss Frances Lyon, Dean of Girls, undertakes the responsibilities for the social life of Northern. In addition, she guides students in their personal and social prob- lems, advises the girls as to their suitable curriculums and sub- jects and checks the daily at- tendance of the girls. As a member of the school committee, an adviser of the Student Council, on the attend- ance and Senior Dinner Dance committees, she is interested in extra-curricular activities. She keeps her bulletin board cov- ered with clippings about Northern activities, students and graduates. After many years of depend- able service as Northern's Dean of Boys Harold Westcott was transferred to Emerson to act as assistant principal at the close of the first semester. During his stay at Northern Mr. Westcott made many friends among both students and faculty. In addi- tion to his regular duties, he had charge of the Student Council. Replacing Mr. Westcott in February as Dean of Boys, Hil- mer Olson was a popular and able substitute. As sponsor of the post graduates, he has charge of the post graduate home rooms. Other duties are Ably backing and assisting Mr Norwalk is Miss Wealthy Hillier, assistant princi- pal Miss Hillier s keen interest in students is evident in her work in helping graduates in their after high school life. Assistant Many and various are the ac- tivities of Miss Wealthy Hillier, assistant principal at Northern. Miss Hillier is responsible for the operation of the main office, in charge of school guidance pro- gram, directs pupil and college relationships, arranges teach- ers' programs and organizes classes at the beginning of each semester. Her other duties include the direction of the school nurse and visiting teachers, the investiga- tion of pupil illness, the instruc- tion and assistance of parents in regard to students and con- ferences with parents on disci- plinary problems. After leading a busy life as an active worker in Flint's com- munity affairs, Miss Hillier was forced to drop active participa- tion because of a recent illness. She, however, follows with in- terest those things affecting life in Flint and soon hopes again to take an active part. the enrollment of students, val- uating credits and adjustment of social and attendance prob- lems of the boys. -82- THE NOROSCOPE Fir it Row: James Barclay Physical Education Earl Beckman.

Some of the most important classes at Northern are the craft classe s Many boys are enrolled in the woodshop and machine shop classes which are pictured in the first six pictures and also in picture number 9 Boys enrolled in these classes take part in many outside activ- ities During the week of March 25-31, a number of woodsnop boys entered the woodshop contests which were sponsored by the Builders' Show at the I M A Also demonstrations and talks were given by many of the shop boys for Central High School's open night, Civitan's Club, Rotarian Club, Kiwanis Club and many others. Art students spend class periods, as shown in pictures 8 and 10, modeling, draw- ing and doing many other works of art. Girls at Northern learn much about house keeping in the home economics classes Picture number 11 shows a class of girls learning to knit while the girls in picture 12 try their hand at cooking. Another home art is learned by the girls in number 13 who are studying the fine points of needlework -90- THE NOROSCOPE (Ficturos in th© above layout read trom left to right, top to bottom.)

Plaid shirts were quite the style—more specifically red plaid such as Ralph wears. Harking back to days of old, moccasins were definitely in, and Frances Weckler models a very fashionable pair. Top- ping the line of accessories and chapeaux were the comfy type, as displayed by Marjorie Snyder in her new corduroy roller brim hat and angora mittens. Shifting focus, we find that long-sleeved blouses, especially those with stripes, and pearls were all the rage with Viking lassies. Mary Rood is wearing both beautifully, along with a very charming smile. Patty Shepherd displays her high galoshes, which were very popular with outdoor members of the student body who had the courage to battle Michigan snowdrifts. Highly colored plaids won the most favor Rhoda Loder is the attractive model wearing the butter-ball jacket, which was also very popular In the men's shoe department, Willis Ratledge shows off the old standbys — saddle shoes, and to show that fleecy, fuzzy, feminine angora sweaters still hold much favor, Margaret Burd poses in hers. — 93 — THE NOROSCOPE M??Rr°ownt ern L ,h1er '8 always something happening—from snow sculpture to ping pong Stella Sujak and .° lhe b.‘9 VJkin 3 huad bvi, ,.bY the arl class Come Cleon week was celebrated with vor.e by the entire student b Sp TTand u?m« i e Plc,ure )U8t underneath, we find tnat even a student council president sometimes studies th. varioul?clawedand hf li nt Cou if'aTuacted' rowds r ud nt� °' h aU',Ch°01 aa8embll ’s Danc« ‘n lh« M by In a class contest !be Rebate squad kies out the arguments which brouaht them the city and the Saginaw Valley championships In the ner, Be.nard Didier, Lorraine Miller and Bill Tate, members of the team which advanced to the state finals, are looking lower left hand corner, over a choice quotation •n’°y a hvely Vame gymnasium, and underneath the school carpenter is shown doing some repair work.

BERNARD DIDIER Perhaps you've never thought to see (As I can prove to you) That model of tranquility— Our Bernard, in a stew! Though Cannibals dance all around him Don't worry for his fate. His silver tongue will pull him through Tor Bernard took debate BILL LAWSON Over the hurdles goes lanky Bill A mighty man is he. He gives the audience a thrill With equanimity. Long legs that carry him rapidly Just cannot think to lose For his desire has always been To fit into Cunningham's shoes JAMES MARSHALL He flirts as he goes through the whirls Of his intricate tropical dances With beautiful young senoritas Who smile back with sly winks and glances. He once was a shy little boy With the strongest dislike for flirting But now that he's grown and strayed from home He can’t resist grass skirting JESSIE HAWES To wear a registered nurse's attire. To work among suffering males To tenderly wipe each patient's brow And quiet his weeps and wails This is the career that Jessie chose And she really couldn't do worse Than be a ray of sunshine In the form of a pretty nurse ISADORE SUGARMAN Everyone's heard of Izzy's Ambition to be great. And since riding in Ford tin lizzies Didn't make hearts palpitate, He switched to something classy Great Sea Biscuit, horse of fame. But this didn't thrill any lassy And it left poor Izzy lame. SIMON INDIANER With sparkling eyes and a winning smile. He looks his part, you bet. For he's a politician, The best one we've had yet. He kisses babies (not all too young). And orates with all his vigor Gathering votes in right and left, No other boss is bigger MAX BRYER With eloquent words and forceful voice He'll present the prisoner's case And make us think he's done no wrong When it's plain as a nose on a face Kindly Max has always been Favorite with his friends Just think how handsome he'll be When his youthful career ends — 96 — THE NOROSCOPE ANNA YAMBRICK Friendly Anna has chosen the job Of keeping books and files And though it's aggravating work She'll always give us smiles. With a skill and charm all her own She soon will reach the top. But she'll never say, Just look at me! I guess you're quite flop.” DON McGONIGAL A girl in every port, says Don May be all right for some, But I’ll take two in every port You can't depend on one! He's going to be an engineer The fates decree it so. And not a girl in every port But two in each depot. EARL KELLY A strong man in our midst, my friends Earl Kelly, is the one. He's going to join a circus show And have a little fun. But lifting weights in quite like work You'll hear him grunt and groan And when he's had enough, we fear. He'll make fast tracks for home. REBECCA HOWARTH A second Jessica Dragonette Is on her way to fame She’s in the senior class just now Rebecca Howarth by name. The Metropolitan Opera House Will want her there to sing; And then her dreams will all come true And she'll have everything. GERARD SHUIRMAN Although his work is chemistry And he says he's lady-shy. He smiles and shows his pretty teeth And you just can't pass him by While he works and slaves in his private lab With aromas floating above He might discover something new— A successful cure for love! JANE HUNTER As capable as any man, Jane wants to be a writer. And since she's with the Noroscope Her future looks much brighter Some may think that Jane is glum. But that is just a front. She's on the hunt for red-heads. Just a Hunter on the hunt. CAROL JONES Sonja Henie is her ideal. We knew that without a doubt She'd be the best one in the nation And put all the others to rout. Gliding swiftly o'er ice and snow She's a graceful idol to many For little Carol wants to be Another Sonja Henie BILL MOSS Jokes were always his delight Bill told them by the hour To be a jokester was his wish Though many of them were sour So now he works on the radio With Cantor, Allen, and Benny He varies them to his own content And is still the best of many -97- THE NOROSCOPE And So They Wrote to Santa Claus Every year about Christmas time, a heavy snowfall consisting of large white flakes somewhat resembling paper, falls to decorate the Christmas tree that stands in the middle of the first floor hall The pictures show the before and after views of the tree and the notes are Northern students' and teachers' letters to Santa Claus.
