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.
