DEDICATION To MISS BLANCHE TERRY, counselor and sponsor for the 1941 graduating class, this Noroscope Is dedicated. Miss Terry, who has served as a counselor for four dif- ferent classes, is a sympathetic adviser, understanding teacher and an interested and conscientious sponsor. It is in recognition of these qualities and as a thank you for her service to Northern High school that this dedication is made. FOREWORD I—IFE AT NORTHERN is a continual process of looking forward — o constant striving for new goals — new skills with which to face the future. The spirit of both students and teachers is one of anticipation and preparation for tomorrow. Sophomores look forward to the time when they will no longer be dubbed green and inexperienced. Juniors look for the day when they will be capped and gowned seniors — and for seniors, the look ahead is one of anticipation of college—a career—life as mature men and women. On the other hand, even though the next lesson — the next game — the coming activities are foremost in most Viking minds, a look back at the school year — its work, its pleasures and the things achieved in that year — is both appropriate and satisfying. The staff has endeavored to record a true picture of the past year — a picture unadorned with decorative and fanciful themes. A backward look at the year is the only theme of the 1941 Noroscope.

NORTHERN'S GUIDING LIGHTS Principal O. F. Norwalk. Assistant Principal Miss Wealthy Hillier Administration School days would be hectic days indeed in an institution as large as Northern without competent administration. In spite of staggered hours, overcrowded conditions and a student body of well over 2,200, Otto F. Norwalk, principal, and Miss Wealthy Hil- lier, assistant principal, have ably guided Northern in a smoothly- running program of study and activity. Principal Norwalk, in addition to his heavy administration duties, participates in a variety of other educational and civic activities. He is past president of the Saginaw Valley Principals association and the former vice-president of the Flint Principals and Supervisors association. He is also chairman of the Vocational Guidance and Commercial and Cafeteria committees of Flint. Northern's administrative head is also a member of several other committees, including the activities committee of the Michigan Prin- cipals' association, the boys' works committee of the city YMCA, the executive committee of the Boy Scouts, the Michigan com- mittee of the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary schools, the vocational guidance and scholarship committee of the Flint Kiwanis club, the school coordinating committee of State Principals and the school activities and the executive committees of the state YMCA. Mr. Norwalk is an ardent sports fan and for him outdoor life and activities provide relief from school affairs. Energy and willingness mark the school and social activities of Miss Wealthy Hillier. Her duties include management of the main office and the direction of the school guidance program. She also oversees student and college relationships, makes out teachers' programs and organizes the various classes. Her other activities are the supervision of the school nurse and visiting teachers, investigation of students' illness, and assistance of parents in regard to the discipline of the students. Miss Hillier, in spite of the above mentioned duties, takes active part in solving Flint's problems and takes a vital interest in all things affecting school and civic life. Assisting Miss Hillier and Mr. Norwalk are the dean of boys and the dean of girls, who coordinate the work of the 18 class counselors to insure a harmonious school program. Miss Frances Lyon, dean of girls, is in charge of all social life at Northern. It is her responsibility to attend to the personal and social problems of Viking girls and to supplement the regular counseling and guidance system. Guy Houston, continuing the fine work done by his predecessor, Hilmer Olson, has made an able and popular dean of boys. In addition to his other activities as dean, he is the student council adviser and sponsor of the post-graduate class. Mr. Houston's problems also include the enrollment of new students and the man- agement of school credits. Dean of yirls. Miss Frances Lyon; dean of boys, Guy V.

Students learn the principles of democratic government, they learn why that government must be preserved. In class and school affairs, they put those principles into practice The teachers in the department are. first row, left to right: Clare Dean, A B . M A .

These Hi-Yers were responsible for two fine programs to which all of the Y clubs were invited. At these programs Frank Farry opened the annual ''Come Clean Week campaign with a talk, and the Reverend Frank Smith spoke on occupational opportunities. Always striving to give a complete program to its members, the Viking Hi-Y supplemented its sports program with several educational and en- tertaining features. Stanley Kuick showed his movies on the northland, while Edwin Brunsden spoke on his World War experiences and Bill Tate, Northern alumnus, gave advice on going to college. The entire Viking Hi-Y program exemplifies the theme of the club, clean living, clean scholar- ship, clean athletics, and clean speech. Page 10 Norsemen Hi-Y Officers Hezekiah Bibbs................................ President William Jackson.............................. Secretary Sylvester Jarrett................Athletic Representative Joseph Hogan...........Assistant Athletic Representative Charles Wright...................................Sponsor The highlight of the Norsemen activities has been athletics. Finishing in a tie for the Hi-Y League leadership, the club turned out some fine players who performed well in the annual Hi-Y- Faculty game. Although the boys lost, they really made the teachers hustle to come out on top of a 37-30 score. As active as the older clubs, the Norsemen Hi-Y has participated in all of the jointly sponsored projects this year, including the ''Come Clean campaign and the meetings at which prominent speakers were engaged. Equally fine has been their record in the selling of soft drinks at school functions. One of the richest of Northern extra-curricular organizations so far as friendship is concerned, the Norsemen will have something by which to remember this fine year when every member is given a gold-filled Hi-Y pin. 1941 BASKETBALL . .

Eskimo Hi-Y Officers Ray McPhee ...............................President William Wolfe........................Vice-President Keith Alder...............................Secretary William Wiltz.............................Treasurer Stanley Kuick.............................. Sponsor During the past year, the Eskimo Hi-Y has par- ticipated in practically every phase of club life. Basketball, all school events and joint meetings with other “Y groups were influenced by this Hi-Y. In the fall, Eddie Pierce, a former Viking foot- baller, reminisced for the Eskimos by relating some of his experiences in sports. Later in the year sports again was accented with programs dealing with fly tying and casting. Richard Boyd and Ed Cumings were the experts who gave demonstrations, one of which was open to the entire school. Mr. Kuick's group was the working force behind the all-city Hi-Y conference at Hurley hospital with Dr. David Treat as the speaker. The success of that evening meeting rewarded the club mem- bers for their work and showed the efficiency of the Eskimo Hi-Y. Northern Lights Hi-Y Officers Emil Marcet .............................President Joe Husak...........................Vice-President Joe Bobalik .... . Secretary Paul Pagel ................................Sponsor Industry has keynoted the activities of the Northern Lights Hi-Y. Its members outdid them- selves in their second year of organization by selling programs at the Northern-Central football game and by selling pop at school dances. Ray Ambrose was the group representative at the Muskegon Older Boys' Conference, and he, together with Elgin Clark, made the arrange- ments for travel descriptions given by Stanley Kuick and Clare Dean. Much of the credit for the success of the annual “Go to Church Night is due the Northern Lights Hi-Y, in that its president headed the committee which planned the all-city event. Thus the “Lights worked for the best interest of both the school and the community. NOROSCOPE Pagel 1 PROMOTING GOOD CITIZENSHIP Current governmental problems were studied by the Youth and Democracy club First row. left to right: Jacquelyn Schatz, Dorothy Bubin, Doris Bainbridge, Susan Buben, Madalyn Me Intosh and Mrs. Grace G.

Youth and Democracy Club Officers Steve Veselenak ..........................President William Robbins .....................Vice-President Dorothy Buben ..............Secretary and Treasurer Mrs. Grace G. Smith ........................Sponsor The Youth and Democracy club meets semi- monthly to discuss the part youth plays in de- mocracy today. At these meetings the imminent problems of the day are discussed. The members are all active in these discussions which prove interesting and educational. The club gave a Hallowe'en party and dinner at which former members who are now at Junior college were present. Anna Yambrick and Odelia Seifert, former officers, spoke at this time. At Christmas a basket was given to a needy family. Through this club a better understanding of the present day questions is found and by ex- changing ideas a knowledge is gained which should help in strengthening American democ- racy. To host play one's part in democratic society, one must be healthy. Students, to pre- pare themselves to be good citizens, must not only pre- pare themselves mentally to live in a democracy, but they must also prepare them- selves physically. As one of the first steps toward physi- cal well being Flint schools began a program of x-raying students to find any possible cases of tuberculosis in the early stages in order that they might be diagnosed and treated before dangerous developments might occur. Students were taken to the hospital to be x-rayed in busses chartered for that purpose. Northern was the first Flint school to partici- pate in hnls program and the picture shows the first of the groups ready to leave. Simi- lar groups went each Tues day and Thursday until the survey was completed The other picture shows students on their way to Hurley Hos- pital in one of the busses Page 12 194 1 SWEET TOOTH SATISFIERS Gay social events and ser- ious service work were com- bined in the “Y Girls meet- ings.

This ambitious group of girls held a party for the children at the Michigan School for the Deaf at Christmas time. Various poor families around Flint received baskets from them at Thanksgiving. At Northern basketball games held in the Emerson gymnasium the girls added money to their treasury by selling candy and ice-cream. Jane Maginnis and Leatrice Pittsley were chosen as representatives to attend the state con- ference held in Flint, at which the Girl Reserves acted as hostesses. The “Y Girls also took part in Heart Sister week which culminated in a party at the Y. W. C. A. and this spring the girls participated in a week-end at the Y. W. C. A. camp.

A semester's training in Journalism is required for editorial staff members and a new system for training business staff workers was put into effect this spring. Students entering the beginning journalism class, which is an elective subject open to juniors and seniors, must be able to write in good Eng- lish and express themselves clearly. In the train- ing course, the fundamentals of news writing are acquired and students are familiarized with headline writing, feature writing, make-up and other phases of newspaper work. Students suc- cessfully completing the course become members of the Noroscope and North Wind editorial staffs. The present North Wind business staff, which is the second hour retail sales class, inaugurated a training program for prospective staff members this spring. A selected group of cubs were taught the fundamentals of selling advertising. A ’ cub knowledge hunt, in which the beginners acquired necessary experience in accosting pros- pective advertisers was a feature of the training work. Next year the business work will be han- dled by a club rather than a retail sales class.

Students working on publications are divided into two groups- the editorial staff, directed by Louis Schulz, and the business staff, for which Frank Lanham is the faculty adviser. The editor- ial staff handles all copy, heads and cuts (written material, headlines and pictures, to the uniniti- ated) and the business staff sells advertising and manages the dollars and cents side of pub- lications work. Besides publishing the North Wind every two weeks and the Noroscope at the end of each year, the staff also sends school news to the Flint Journal, assists on school publicity committees and cooperates with the Central publications de- partment to produce the Thanksgiving day foot- ball program. The Noroscope staff was assisted in producing the '41 book by the Art and Camera clubs. The Art club, sponsored by Miss Ilo Browns, took over all art work and the photography was done under the auspices of the Camera club.

The Viking speaker who went farthest in inter- scholastic competition was Bruce Cooke, who placed second in the school contest and won a berth in the district meet by placing in the Sagi- naw Valley contest. Margaret Farmer was the winner of the school extemporaneous contest while Bill Lee placed third. Jacqueline Harbeson's oration was judged best in the oratory contest and Ralph Smith and Ray Ambrose placed second and third respectively.

F A 1 0 ■ Saginaw Valley Tournaments The Viking debate squad, by tradition one of the strongest squads in the state, compiled a rec- ord of six victories out of every ten decision con- tests in the 1940-41 debate season. Arguing on the question: Resolved: That the powers of the Federal Government should be decreased, the debaters also won a Michigan High School For- ensic league wall plaque by taking three out of four preliminary debates and tied with Flint Central for second place in the Saginaw Valley standings. A total of eight students participated in state league contests. Jean Woodard, Margaret Farm- er and Ray Ambrose took the floor against Flint Central in the opening league encounter, while Ralph Smith took over third speech in the meet with Lansing Eastern. Jacqueline Harbeson, Shir- ley Armstron and Bruce Cooke represented Northern in the St. Michael-Northern debate and Walt Fisher replaced Bruce Cooke in the Flint Tech, contest. In addition to the above mentioned league de- baters, Jack Elder, June Hughes, Bill Lee, Helen Mikelson, John Quin and Norma Zuehlke debated in one or more Saginaw Valley tournaments. Other squad members were Fred Mueller, Rob- ert Ressiquie, Ruth Sammons and Dorothy Simp- son. New members added to the squad in the second semester were Elaine Adams, Calvin Did- ier, Pat Garber, A1 Gilpin, Madelon Hawes, Mar- ion Lande, Ruth Pyper, Reva Sendler, Elaine Walther and Betty Weger. In the third Valley tournament, the Oregon, or cross-question style of debate was used. In order to familiarize coaches and debaters with this type of debating, Northern and Central present- ed an exhibition debate at Whittier. Walt Fisher, Jean Woodard and Margaret Farmer partici- pated in this meet. Norman Hoffman and Elmer Kissack were the faculty members who acted as judges and pro- vided transportation for the Scarlet and Gray speakers. Jack Elder was the debate squad man- ager.

C. In addition to discuss- ing the Youth Conference, he told of his visit to the Congressional and Shakespearian libraries. Some meetings were simply get-togethers, with games, contests, programs and refreshments and others were business meetings. Chairman in charge of publicity was Yvonne Thorpe, and Shirley Armstrong headed the program commit- tee.

Speakers who were expert in the field appeared now and then on meeting nights. Among them were Leon Glass and Guy Gaines who talked on the subject of photography as a hobby. Movies taken by Bob McKeen, a member of the club, entertained the club on an- other occasion. A field trip and a theater party were also listed. Much of the photography work in the 1941 Noroscope was taken, developed and printed by the club. In addition, taking Student Union pic- tures was a club project. Charles Kemp, sponsor early in the year, introduced table-top photogra- phy to the group. This work was carried on by George Guiley, new sponsor, after Mr. Kemp resigned. Biology Club Officers Virginia Mayfield .......................President Norma Allen ........................Vice-President Shirley Richiger ........................Secretary Betty Sarver ............................Treasurer Howard Braden .............................Sponsor Many projects, moving-pictures and trips which made the club most interesting were enjoyed by the members of the Biology club in the past year. In the fall, the club sponsored a picnic at Dewey woods to get organized and started on its yearly activities. At Christmas time, they gave a needy family a basket with the assistance of the seventh hour Biology class. Stanley Kuick entertained the group one even- ing with his own moving-picture entitled “My Fishing Trip of 1940.“ Another picture was shown by Louis Roberts concerning Mexico. To enlarge their knowledge of bacteria control in every day life a trip was taken to the McDon- ald Dairy plant and a hike to and tour through the city waterworks was taken.

A majority of the meetings was devoted to the construction of these models. The members de- signed their own planes, scaled them to the de- sired size and held occasional meetings in the gymnasium where the models were tested. Some members of both Northern's and Cen- tral's Aero clubs belong to the Flint Gas Bugs which meets at the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of discussing plans for national, state and city con- tests. The members of the club are planning to at- tend the state meet at Lansing at the Capital City airport June 1. Engineers Club Officers Bill Lester ........................... President Lawrence Haut Vice-President Walter Konrad ..........................Secretary George Guiley ............................Sponsor The Engineers club which is one of the newest in the school, was organized for a very practical purpose. The idea was that the club members could receive the necessary training and practi- cal experience to enable them to acquire their amateur radio licenses. This project was first sponsored by the Mott Foundation and later was taken over by the National Youth Association. Meeting twice a week, the Engineers put much of their time and energy into the building of various pieces of radio equipment and long in- struction periods. As a result, these students now have a much better understanding of the work- ings of a radio. It is a well developed hobby, and they have also derived a great deal of pleasure from the club life it offers to those who belong.

Home Economics Officers Lottie Swirtz President Margaret Johnson ...........Vice-President Elaine Bruzewski ...........Secretary Mary Jakeway Treasurer Mrs. Dorothy Stencel Sponsor The membership of the Home Economics club is composed of girls who are interested in the domestic arts and sciences. Activities of this group were charitable and social as well as instructive. At Thanksgiving time the girls filled a basket with foodstuffs to be given to a needy family. A Christmas party was held during the holiday season at which gifts were exchanged and a potluck supper turned out to be another successful social event spon- sored by the Home Ec girls. Since personal appearance is very important to all girls, the talk given by Mrs. Waldo Bennett from the Anne Rose Moran School of Beauty on The Art of Make-Up and Good Grooming proved to be a very interesting and appropriate one. At some of the more recent meetings skits and short plays have been put on by some of the members. Most of the regular meetings were spent in sewing, knitting and various types of fancy work which the members brought with them each time they met. These practical-minded young women are pre- paring themselves not only to be of great service to their families in the present but also to become better housewives in their own homes in the future. The members of the Industrial Arts and Home Economics classes spent a geat deal of time outside of classes on their work Many t.mes the Home Ec gals were called upon to serve at banquets and such. The Industrial Arts boys did their share too. They often spent time on extra curricular projects and proved helpful by doing repair work around the school The picture below shows a class conducted by Mrs Mabel Roome mastering the art of cookina.

The group participated in the Saginaw Valley Band festival, which was held on April 4 at Owosso, and took second place in the competi- tion. It also made an appearance in the All School Music Festival, held on April 30 at Emer- son and represented Northern by marching in the Memorial Day parade.

Music for the senior class play, Sorority House, was also provided by the orchestra. In an All-School Music Group concert which was presented at Emerson April 30 Northern shared the honors with several other participating or- chestras. The Viking musical student body was well represented in the National Regional Music Fes- tival, which was celebrated in Flint on May 15, 16, 17 and 18. On May 17 the orchestra played for the combined choirs of the festival. By playing several musical selections at Sen- ior Honor Award night, which took place in the Emerson gymnasium on May 29, the group con- cluded its series of public appearances for the current year. Student Leaders Northern has again completed a successful year of musical events. This was attained with the help of students from the music department. Sam Mangiaracina, an ardent musician, was concert master for the year and Homer Arsen- eault did the strutting as drum major. In the tra- ditional game maneuvers Thanksgiving day, he was joined by Calvin Didier. Calvin was also the student director of the band and orchestra when the band played at home games and traveled to some of the out-of- town games.

Presenting a flawless appearance in their maroon colored robes, the choir members opened the season with an appearance before the Michigan Education Association general ses- sion at the Industrial Mutual Association Audi- torium. The choir was also featured on programs at the Royal Neighbors Convention at the Durant hotel ballroom and at the Parent-Teachers Asso- ciation convention. During the Christmas season, the organization appeared before the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs and at the Capitol theater. After the latter per- formance, the choir members were guests at the regular evening movie. The singers also enter- tained with Christmas music at the Salvation Army Citadel and presented a program at Cen- tral high school auditorium which included Yule- tide music never before heard in Flint. The climax of the Christmas celebration at Northern was the caroling of the choir in the halls. Twice a day during the week before Christ- mas vacation the age-old carols rang through the corridors. Each concert was concluded with the traditional sing around the Christmas tree in the first floor hallway. Appearance with the Flint Symphony Orches- tra in March, and in a joint concert with the Central choir for the Hi-Y Go to Church Night, were included in the choir's activities. The group also participated in the Regional Vocal Festival held in Flint. The final appearance of the organization will be at Baccalaureate services and the commence- ment exercises for the graduating seniors. Singing for their own and other's pleasure, the Boys' Octet entertained at many programs and dinners.

Page 36 1941 27 GAMES WITHOUT A LOSS How It Was Done How Northern added to her winning streak to complete three seasons of victory without loss, in the course of which a string of 28 defeatless games has been chalked up. Number 20— Toledo Catholic Central, Ohio's strongest prep team, was shellacked to the tune of 18-7 as the Vikings opened another season with the team showing championship mettle. Number 21— The Scarlet-Gray horde from the North-end continued on its merry way by handing a well- balanced Lansing Eastern team a 13-2 drubbing before 5500 fans. The thrill of the game came v hen Bob McKee, Lansing track star, carried the pigskin through the entire Viking team on the kick off, only to stumble on the 20 yard line with the field clear for a touchdown. The Vikings held, however, and then proceeded to outshine the Lansing team in every department. Number 22— The Northern-Bay City clash was dubbed as the thrill game of the season as the Vikings rallied to come from behind in the last two min- utes to snatch victory from defeat. Harold Kruse's spectacular, one-handed snag of a pass from Dick Holloway broke the Wolves heart and the Scarlet-Gray crashed over for a touchdown a few moments later to win the closest game of the season, 13 to 7. Number 23— The zip and fire of the Norsemen shown in previous games was barely evident in this tussle, but the Vikings came through to win 20 to 0 over Arthur Hill. Number 24— On the mud-scarred turf at River Rouge, the Scarlet Scourge rolled relentlessly forward by trouncing a highly-touted River Rouge team by a lopsided score of 32-0. The Norsemen showed the best all around football so far this season. Number 25— Pontiac almost became the stumbling block ol Northern's title hopes as the Vikings barely eked out a 6 to 0 victory. The team was definitely down after being keyed up for the River Rouge game. Number 26—- Owosso, doormat of the Saginaw Valley this season, put up little resistance as the Vikings fashioned out a 15 to 6 win. Football managers are necessary for teams' welfare Those who served are, top. Ray MacPhee and Bob Burnette, bottom. Junior Kleckler and Bill Wiitz. Number 27— The Scarlet-Gray warriors crushed the Sagi- naw Eastern eleven by a score of 27 to 6. This win assured the Vikings their third consecutive Sagi- naw Valley title. Number 28— The Scarlet Scourge rolled out all its heavy artillery and blasted the Indians from Central to their knees with a blitzkreig aerial and ground barrage, as the Vikings copped their tenth city head-piece in 13 games with the East siders by a record breaking score of 32-0. By this win North- ern completed a season during which they won not only the city title but also their seventh Saginaw Valley headpiece and third State Championship. Football Managers The unsung heroes of Northern's football team are the managers. They work as hard as the players, for whenever a time out is called, one or two managers run out onto the field with their trays of paper cups and wet towels for the play- ers’ sweaty, dirty faces. Likewise, when a game is played on a wet day, the managers keep the balls dry during the warm-up before the game. The players really appreciate these and the other innumerable things that the managers do.

This boosted their winning percentage to a .500 rat- ing, by dropping two and winning a couple. Sophomore coach, Paul Pagel, in his first sea- son of tutoring, has done a fine job of teaching the first-year boys the fundamentals of smart football. Among his outstanding boys are, guards, Freddy Okal, Dave Esia, Joe Metar, fullback, Ray Trudell and John Major, ends, and John Bradley, who plays both guard and quar- terback. All State Teams After a gruelling season in which Northern distinguished herself as the number one football team in Michigan, almost every member of the varsity was placed on one of the three important honorary teams. Ed Krupa and Harold Kruse, fullback and end were picked to the Detroit Free Press all state eleven. In addition to this honor, Krupa was named the outstanding high school star in the state during the 1940 football season. Louis Bare, 200 pound tackle was listed on Dick Remington's Lansing-all state team. The Detroit Times placed Len Sweet on their all state third team and Leo Suszek, end, Fred Salim, guard, Clayton Ash, center and Bob and Dick Holloway, backs, received honorable men- tion on the above teams. At the Saginaw Valley banquet, four Vikings were awarded berths on the All-Valley first team and two on the second team. Harold Kruse was the only player who col- lected the unanimous vote from the coaches and sports writers, receiving 36 points. Eddie Krupa was named fullback, receiving 34 points, the same number he had last year, when he was the only Junior that made the team. Louie Bare and Len Sweet were the other two Norsemen to make the grade with 23 and 18 points respectively. In addition to the four men who helped coach football, eight other men devoted hours in work with boys in other sports fields, below top row. left to right: James Barclay, varsity basketball coach; Earl Beckman, cross country and track coach; Everett Bolduc, assistant baseball coach and Howard Braden, trainer, lower row, Lester Ehrbright. reserve basketball coach, golf coach and faculty athletic manager; Jack Hubbard, custodian of equip- ment; Edmund Lovo, coach of cheerleaders and Louis Nickels, tennis coach.

Ehrbright's reserve basketball started out in great form, they finished winning six and losing seven games.

NOROSCOPE Page 39 ACTION SHOTS OF CITY SERIES On the Comeback If Northern's basketball team were to be judged by its record alone, it would be a drastic mistake; for although the record seems a bit shaky, the general opinion of the student body is that this team in the next two years will be- come championship material. At the beginning of the season the Vikings undoubtedly possessed the best team in the state. The Wonder Boys, Eddie Krupa, Len Sweet and Bob and Dick Holloway, out classed anything in the Valley and extended Northern's victory string to 36 consecutive wins. However, at midseason the entire first string graduated and Coach Barclay was forced to fall back on a team composed of juniors and sophomores; Dave Lev- inson and Cliff Fielder being the only seniors. To compare this inexperienced team to the smooth, polished, well balanced Wonder Boys would be an injustice, for having only played together one season, the new team could not be expected to fill the shoes of the greatest combination of athletes ever to come to Northern. The result was that this new team was beaten —not once but several times and the student body so used to winning now knew how it felt to lose. It was perhaps the best thing that could have happened to the Northern student body, though disheartening to the team. The smug, self-satisfied student who took it for granted that the team would win every game now became a rabid basketball fan ready to fight with anyone who derided the team. Proof of this statement can be found in the City Championship series with Central. For after the Wonder Boys had crushed the Indians 32 to 9, the Indians then proceeded to nose out the infant varsity by a free throw in the last 50 seconds of the second game. Opinion in the school was divided after this loss; some students condemned the team, however, the school turned out determined to back the team, and this support helped the team to drub the same Central outfit who had nosed them out the week before, by the score of 30 to 21. Thrills and «xcilom.nl galore was the theme as two well tatched teams. Northern and Central clashed for the third and nal game of the City Championship in which the Vikings cro- eeded to drub Central 30-21 Fast breaking, clean, hard basket- all labeled this game as a typical Viking-Indian clash Dave elesson are all shown in action.

Though there have been great athletes in the past, the records show that these Vikings, Eddie Krupa, Len Sweet, Bob Holloway and Dick Holloway, eclipse the star studded annuls of Northern's history. Dubbed the Wonder Boys by the Flint Journal, nothing short of superlative can describe their success. Not only have they fought their way to fame in basketball, but they have never been in a losing game at football while wearing the Scarlet-Gray. They have played a great part in bringing Northern's record string of basketball victories to 36 consecutive wins, a feat which no other Class A high school in Michigan has ever equaled. These boys when on the low end of a score gave everything they had to bring victory for Northern. Even when classed as underdogs'' in valley and inter-state games, defeat didn’t seem a reality to these sports-minded quadruplets. Northern experienced its greatest years in football during the last three years with all the wonder boys playing in the Viking backfield and rolling up tremendous scores, especially by trouncing Flint Central 32-0, as well as winning three city titles, three valley headpieces and two state championships. Northern salutes her fighting sons. Tho Wonder Boys —These four fellows have helped make Northern the top school athletically in the state for the past three years, football state championship, basketball state champion- ship, and the baseball state championship have come to Northern since the beginning of their careers at Northern This group rep- resents the greatest combination of athletes ever assembled at Northern at one time.

Cheerleaders The 1940-41 cheerleading squad finished a successful season of stirring up Viking enthus- iasm at the football and basketball games. The pep was at its peak during the football season because of the consistently winning teams, but the Viking “lung-busters showed their true worth in basketball season by giving their best when it was needed. Leading the cheers were Captain Keith Alder, Charles Drake, GROAN BOYS Bill Gillespie, Bob Montague, and Bud and Ted Viall. The sponsor was Edmund Love. Wrestling Squad Stan Kuick's wrestling squad embarked upon a comparitively successful season this year as his grapplers scored victories in two dual meets and won fourth place in the State meet. A large group of prospective wrestlers turned out at the first meeting proving that wrestling and conditioning are gaining in popularity. Mr. Kuick believes that all boys planning to go out for football next season will benefit by keeping in shape during the winter months. In the only dual meet in which Northern was beaten, the squad scored but one point, that by Joe Gasper. In the State meet Northern won fourth place by scoring 9 points and in the Good- rich meet the Vikings hit their stride by defeating Goodrich 40 to 10. The sensational part of this meet was that Northern won 8 out of 10 matches. The feature match was in the heavyweight di- vision with Malcom Rudolph pinning Amidon of Goodrich, who won a place in the state meet, in 6:25. The fastest bout of the evening was in the 130 pound division with Keith Alder pinning Haddrill of Goodrich in 52 seconds. The fellows who have made fine showings throughout the year are Walder, Tresko, Gilles- pie, Alder, Gaspar, Mills, Skipper, Morton, and Rudolph. Constant practice, five nights a week have paid dividends in strong, healthy bodies.

Northern's athletic program throughout the 1940-41 season. The Boys' Swimming club, under the direction of Louis Nickels, met between the hours of seven and nine every Wednesday evening at the Central pool. The swimming season lasted from Thanksgiv- ing to the first of April, with fifty-five students participating. The average attendance for each meeting was forty. Beginners had a chance to learn for there were instructors present, and it was not necessary to be a member of the organ- ization in order to attend the classes. Many of Northern's track and football boys attended these meetings in order to get a weekly work-out. The club will re-organize again No- vember 10. Bowling Bowling, a new activity introduced in girls' athletics this year, has gone over in a big way. Sixteen teams, each composed of five girls, met every Wednesday afternoon at the North End Bowling Alleys. Under the expert instruction of Mrs. Lloyd Davenport, who has taken an active part in this activity for a number of years, the girls were taught the technique of holding the ball, correct footwork, and how to maintain their balance. The girls' coaches feel that this is a sport which the girls may continue individually after grad- uation, whereas other sports such as basketball and baseball require teams. At the end of the first semester the Who's Ya Hootie Team took the crown, winning 13 out of 14 games. No w in tho annals of Northern sports was the girls' bowling team Champions in this new field are. first row, left to right Mary lane Castle, Irene Foe and Annaleo Jennings; second row.

Girls' Hockey Because of the cold blustering winds in the early part of the season, girls' hockey was great- ly handicapped this year. However, the gift of a new and larger hockey field did much toward brightening the spirits of the zealous girls. While waiting for favorable weather, much time was spent indoors exercising and learning hockey fundamentals. Ohio, the sophomore team, and the junior team, Kellogg All Stars, tied for first place. Honorable mention should be given Sar- gent, the senior team, which was right in there, too. NOROSCOPE Page 47 PALE PINKS TROUNCE SARGENTS Gym Demonstration and Basketball A girls' physical education demonstration con- sisting of tumbling, exercises to music, games, rhythm dancing and a school title championship basketball game between sophomores and sen- iors was staged in the Northern High school gymnasium March 27. Northern students with their parents were in- vited to attend this program in which three hun- dred girls participated. Miss Dorothy Breda and Miss Lina Tyler were in charge of the affair with Jean Schmidt acting as student mistress of cere- monies. Amid much excited cheering, the sophomore team, Pale Pink, emerged the victor and was presented with the Frances Lyon trophy which is given to the winning team each year. The senior team, Sargent, showed fine spirit and kept the sophomores on their toes. It was after several weeks of playoffs between the sophomores, juniors and seniors that these two teams came out on top to compete for the coveted award. The loss of the seniors was the first in a number of years.

Following the dancing the girls were given their choice of three activities—badminton, ping pong and swimming. Other games were also available and fun was had by all. A game of volley ball, played by all the girls of both schools proved to be very exciting. After so much activ- ity everyone was ready for the refreshments, served at the end of a perfect day of play. Page 48 1941 WITH A SMILE AND AN N N Club Officers Rulh Van Dyke . .

Spring Sports To stress individual play was the aim of the girls' spring sport activities this year. Archery, tennis and golf were added to the annual game of volley ball and softball. The girls have re- ceived these sports very enthusiastically and their continuation looks promising. More girls than ever before turned up for volley ball, show- ing new and growing interest in this sport. Tennis drew forth a large number of girls who were anxious to improve their game and learn new techniques. Arranged according to their ability, they spent some time on fundamentals and then took part in a tournament. Much time was spent on the playing fields where the girls practiced archery and golf. After training in stroking, and handling the golf club; arrangements were made to practice on a reg- ular course. Horseback riding was not carried on as a gym project this year, but girls bringing reports on their riding from the stables were given points toward their letters. Dancing Under the direction of Miss Marie Prahl a mod- ern and interpretive dancing class was held every Monday and Thursday when shorts and other costumes were donned for the swinging and swaying. Composed of about fourteen girls, this class rehearsed late into the afternoon for the three Civic Operas in which they appeared. Besides gaining a knowledge of operatic danc- ing, the girls have learned to carry themselves more gracefully. Members of the class are Mar- garet Mynar, Ruth Mueller, Leatrice Keillor, Virginia Leister, Josephine Jones, Katherine Dun- jak, Patricia Eddy, Betty Smurthwaite, Mary Lou Pelletier, Gertrude Carl, Dorothy Carlson, Betty Causu, Marcelle Crisler, Sally Snyder, Lois Walk- er and Shirley Palmer.

Sponsor Several bills and revisions of the constitution were included in the long list of activities of the Student Council this year. The two bills brought up in the Student Council were the President Plaque bill and the Junior Red Cross bill. Assemblies were held for the sophomores when they entered in September and January. At this time they were told about the arrangement of the rooms at Northern and other things which helped them get orientated. When the basketball team or football team was going to face strong rivals, the council called a pep meeting to arouse students and urge them to give all their support to the team. The victory ball, which is held each year for the players, was also given by the governing body. All school assemblies were arranged and spon- sored by the Council. On these programs were Nilkanth Chavre from India, who talked on the people and customs of his country; Karl Mas- lowski, who showed a motion picture on nature study, Jesse Robertson, who lectured on the his- tory of music and demonstrated the development of modern music with early instruments, and Captain Theodore Stern, who gave lie detec'.or demonstrations. The committee chairmen who helped to plan these activities were: Al Gilpin, miscellaneous Rhoda Loder, activity; Jean Schmidt, advertising; Bob Carey, athletic; Peggy Barr, social; Bob Burn- ham, finance; Raymond Ambrose, research and visitation, Helen Mikelson.

Club Presidents The club presidents group picture shows an assembly of some of the most prominent, popular and capable students in the school. Planning and arranging for the many activities which their clubs sponsor takes up much of their time, but the interesting and varied programs given by Northern's social groups speak well for their efforts and ability. Many of these leaders are also active in other extra-curricular activities and their names may be found on debate teams, publications, dra- matic presentations and senior activities. Some of the club presidents are active in sports, and the majority of them have high scholastic records. These students are representative of the best in Northern High school students for they must have a knowledge of the work done by their group as well as the ability to get along with people.

Secretary Ellen Jane Scovill Treasure! Miss Marie Prahl . . Sponsor Northern's chapter of the National Honor so- ciety, the Sigma Chi Lambda, had an especially active year which began late in September. One of the first functions of the club was to initiate about 30 new members. Included in this event were its solemn rite of formal induction and the hilarious informal initiation. The honor society as a rule functions through committees, the active work being done by these smaller groups. Reports are then given to the entire membership. The initial job undertaken was that of supervising the library and admini- stering permanent library permit examinations. Along this same line a volunteer committee was organized for the supervision of the study hall during fourth and fifth hours. The largest project sponsored by the Sigma Chi, and one of the major events of the entire school year, designed to develop talent in North- ern students as well as to earn money was the Viking Talent Night. The evening of singing and music was both entertaining and profitable. Included in the year's club business was a re- vision of the chapter constitution and a spring breakfast to honor the graduating honor stud- ents. Awards for outstanding individuals to be given on honor night and a gift to be left the school were also planned. All of these activities of the Sigma Chi Lambda tend to develop its members along lines of ser- vice, leadership, character, and scholarship and better the school at the same time.

Sponsor To make Northern safety-conscious is the self-imposed task of the Safety club. Through displays in the show-case the Vikings have learned the causes of many accident hazards and the precaution for them. Throughout the year posters have appeared in the show-case, as well as other safety devices and notes, which attracted the attention of everyone. The club also assisted in the drive against parking in front of the building, in supervising parking in back of the building and in cooperating with the police in their drive against youth- ful bicycle riders to prevent accidents. Suggestions for safer practices in the conduct of laboratories and shops throughout the building were also carefully consid- ered by the club. The club welcomes suggestions by students or faculty which will help prevent accidents in the school. Because of the fine safety rules formulated in other years by the club, this year's club was able to establish a very fine safety record. Student Union Pictures The Student Union pictures on the preceding pages were all taken by the Camera club. Because they were a first attempt at a job of this magnitude, uneveness in tone quality and head- size can be laid to inexperience. The club already is laying plans for next year's pictures and promise to remedy many of the faults found in this year's pro- cedure. Group IV Row 1, Keith Weber, Ray Weber, Elaine Wehri.

Counselors One of the most helpful and necessary groups at Northern is the counseling staff. Patiently planning, advising and assisting, the counselors strive to know and understand each individual student and help him to receive the greatest benefit from his high school course. For each half grade at Northern there are two counselors; one is for the boys and one is for the girls. The same counselors stay with each class until it graduates so that students and their coun- selors may become better acquainted through longer association. The duties and responsibilities of a counselor are varied and numerous. In fact the success of each class depends largely upon the two coun- selors guiding it. The educational, social and vo- cational progress of each student throughout his high school years is greatly dependent upon his counselor. One of the most important things a counselor does is to give advice and help to the student in the matter of curriculum choice. Through care- ful planning, each student's program must be suited to his individual abilities and desires. Then too the counselor must see that each stud- ent fulfills the requirements of his course and attains the standards set for him The question of a student's daily attendance is entirely in the counselor's hands. It is to him that the student presents his excuses and brings other matters of absence or tardiness. The coun- selor is then responsible for a complete record of every student's attendance. When any problems or difficulties arise, the counselor acts as a go-between for the student and his teachers. He also explains or discusses questions with parents at any necessary time. By performing these and other miscellaneous tasks, the understanding counselors help the in- coming sophomores to become settled and happy in their new surroundings; they guide and aid them in making wise curriculum choices and help them to do well during the first difficult days of senior high school. To the in-between classes the counselor lends a helping hand in planning entertaining social affairs and other usual activities. Then, as a grand finale, the counselor is vital in making preparations for the traditional events and activities of graduating seniors. The dinner dance, honor night, baccalaureate service and graduating exercises must all be carefully planned before the busy counselor can stand back and watch his particular class enter the world with a good start because of the help received at Northern. Faculty Changes Four faculty changes were made during the course of the school year. Early in the first semes- ter Mrs. Grace Sherman was injured and she was forced to withdraw for the rest of the year. Mrs. Myrtle Wilcox also withdrew because of illness and her place was taken by Mrs. Kathryn Jarvis. Both Charles Kemp and William Satterley left for defense work and new men Everett Bolduc and Merle Henry were added to the staff. Mr. Henry's appointment was too late to include him in the annual with a picture. Page 72 1941 SOPHOMORES .. GREEN BUT PEPPY Sophomores Oh! to be a sophomore — no worries, no troubles, no nothing. However, this year's sophs are go-getters and they really shine. Aided by Miss Lucy Dillon, Mrs. Harriet Latimer, Mr. Guy Houston and Mr. John English they are all set to set the world on fire —- the fire bugs. At their peppy election, popular James John- son was chosen to captain the ship through stormy weather. Betty Schmidt is first mate—vice- president to those of you with less imagination. Pretty Norma Hammel was elected secretary and Betty Hemmingway, who is as cute as a mouse, is chief money keeper. With these officers at the helm the results were super. With a lot of new ideas their stab at party mak- ing went over big in a big way. Bossing the affair were the class officers and the high chiefs were the class sponsors. Bob Conklin's orchestra gave out with the jive and the date was November 15. For their second frolic they chose an Easter theme, the music this time being supplied by a nickelodeon following the precedent set by the juniors. The party was a hopping success. These sophomores ought to be extra special because when they were lowly freshmen they were used as human guinea pigs—practically— for the Rackham Foundation. They were given special guidance through achievement tests and without a doubt they will all be x-rayed to see the results. In student council the shy voices of the follow- ing sophs could be heard: Bonnie Peters, Calvin Didier, Bill McDonald, Louis Guiboard and Bill Scott (not the junior lad). Stick up for your rights and you'll never be stuck up — ouch! Several peppy sophomores made varsity foot- ball during their first year. The plucky lads were Eulus Carpenter and Tom Clevenger. In basket- ball many sports-minded sophs were stars. Who knows . . . maybe they'll be wonder boys before they are through! The basketballers (aha! a new word!) were John Albrant, Harold Brock, Dick Crabtree, Bill Cscapo and Joe Zofchak. The gals were sporty too, going out for hockey, basketball, bowling and softball. Bowling ranked first with these lassies and the day each week after their game many fingernails were minus-— Youngest class officers ere those who head the class of 1943 Left to right, top row are: lames Johnson, president and Betty Schmidt, vice-president; bottom row, Betty Hemmingway, treas- urer and Norma Hammel. secretary. for the cause. The biggest upset of the season was when the sophomore basketball came out on top over a senior team. Although the under- dogs in the battle, they showed plenty of fight, courage and the good ole' Northern spirit. Other outstanding members of the class were Gertrude Carl, all A ' student (is it brains or beginner's luck?), Calvin Didier, student band director and Betty Weger and Elaine Adams, who are among the newest additions to the de- bate squad and who are also classified as promising debaters. The suffermores, even after being dubbed green as grass all year, are still full of life. Next year, they plan to do the dubbing . . . that's something to look forward to.

William Scott, president and Virginia Mayfield, vice-pres;aent, bottom row, Margaret Howald. secretory and Madalon Hawes, treasurer. Juniors Behold the juniors — the mighty graduates of '42! Two years ago when they first entered North- ern — even though some were confined to Emer- son for the first semester—they seemed in a daze. Although all of the fog hasn't lifted even yet, things are a little clearer, thanks to the helping hands of their advisers, who are Mrs. Marion West, Mrs. Lura Brewer, Jack Hubbard and Her- man Steele. They underwent the election season with its speech making and ballyhoo in top form, coming up with snappy Bill Scott as president and pretty Virginia Mayfield as vice-president. Svelte Mar- garet Howald was chosen to keep the records and vivacious Madelon Hawes, as treasurer, safeguarded the class funds supposedly. What a fellow Bill Scott must be to rate three such girls' These brave juniors were first to venture into social life for the fall by staging the opening school dance on October 9. The faculty sponsors aided the befuddled committees of Madelon Hawes, Archie Hess, Margaret Howald, Virginia Mayfield and Bill Scott and the results were mag- nificent — anyway, the party was a success. Bob Conklin's orchestra supplied the tunes. For their other party they had to be different, and different they were by presenting a tea dance February 20, the first one ever given at Northern. The pio- neers had nothing on these juniors, for even that wasn't enough. They announced big name bands would supply the rhythm—ergo—a nickelodeon. Paper hats were given as favors and the tea dance went over big amid the mumbled prayers of the entire committee. The juniors are a peppy lot during the year they took part in many activities. Getting in their sayso in Student Council were Raymond Am- brose, Bob Carey, Margaret Galloway, Eleanor Miller, Martha Miller, Telford Miller (what is this a monopoly?) and John Yedinak. Debaters from the junior class who traveled about the state arguing their cause were Ray- mond Ambrose, Margaret Farmer, John Quin, Ralph Smith and Jean Woodward. Newcomers to the squad in the spring semester were Pat Garber, A1 Gilpin, Madelon Hawes, Marion Lande, Ruth Pyper, Reva Sender, Helen Snyder and Elaine Walther. Never let it be said that these juniors can't argue their point. Juniors have also proved their prowess in the athletic line. On the football field several juniors showed great promise. These boys are James Anderson, Joseph Costello, Ed Fejedelem, Martin Vedrody and Johnny Yedinak. Here's hoping they'll be future champs! The basketball team was bettered by juniors, too, and they proved themselves worthy of rec- ognition. The skilled cagers were Albert Bender, Erland Edmunds, Albert Gazo, Neal Magelson and Ted Manyak. Keep aiming high and you'll reach the top is their motto. The gals are not to be overlooked, either. Many went out for hockey, basketball, softball and bowling, with the latter ranking tops with the lassies. Many junior girls took part in the Physi cal Education demonstration held in the early spring. Some of the sport minded gals were Bar- bara Anderson, Thelma Bunder, Katherine Dun- jak, Betty Flanigan, Margaret Galloway, Lorena May Hall, Mary Ellen LaBeau, Eleanor Miller, Pat Onion, Marjorie Rood, Lillian Sarver, Vera Thomas, Doris Williams and Mamie Wright. Page 74 1941 BEHOLD THE MIGHTY SENIORS Highlights of the Senior Class The 1941 senior class can look back upon an outstanding record during its three years spent at Northern. With students excelling in every field, the seniors can feel proud of what they have accomplished for the school. The capable class officers who contributed to the success of the seniors were Jack Schmidt, president, Ray Procunier, vice-president; Eileen Berry, secretary and Ed Neithercut, treasurer. They served their fellow-classmates unusually well. Some of the active seniors were those who participated in the field of music. Homer Arsen- eault, as drum-major, Peter Mangiaracina as concert master, all excelled in the study and use of notes. In debate the unusual work of Bruce Cooke, Shirley Armstrong, and Jacquelyn Harbeson was recognized by all. The entire cast of the senior play, Sorority House, showed great dramatic talent and abil- ity in making the production a success. Those who brought victory and fame to North- ern through athletic performance were Fred Salim, Bob Holloway, Dick Holloway, David Levenson, Eddie Krupa, Leonard Sweet, Harold Kruse and Clayton Ash. Other active seniors were those who special- ized in journalistic work. Especially prominent were Fred Salim, Janet Hansen, Betty Didier, Doris Colbert, Eleanor Hardenbrook, Lois Walk- er, Bruce Cooke, Jean Schmidt, Jack Scott and Rhoda Loder. Phyliss Price, Emma Shumpert, Dorothy La Beau, Marjorie Greeson, Jessilee Cunningham and Anne Pillipovich did admirable work on the publications business staffs.

Enrollment The entire enrollment at Northern during the past semester was 2,294 students. This does not include, however, the 142 lOB's who remained at Emerson for the first semester of their senior high school course. This large number of students must be super- vised and helped by the twelve counselors and the two in charge of the Rackham group. Al- though some have fewer to counsel than others, all the counselors have plenty with which to fill their time. The 10A group was the largest half-grade this semester. With a total of 575, they were divided between the Rackham group and the regular 10A class. The smallest student group was that of the post-graduates. There were 16 in all. In the 10B class at Northern there were 149 while the llB's were 307 in number. The 11A class which is the second largest has 528. There were 719 seniors altogether with 209 12B's and 510 12A's.

The theme of the last social gathering was taken from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonder- land. Toastmistress Peggy Barr was Alice, and Jack Schmidt, class president, was the King of Hearts. The Seven of Spades read the class prophecy, and other characters from the book were also featured on the program. Jack Schmidt, Lee Buck and Carolyn Grove served on the orchestra committee; the class prophecy was the brain child of Jacqueline Har- beson, Bruce Cooke, Joyce Holzberg and Bar- bara Kavanau. Margaret Tripp, Helen Mikelson and William Wolfe wrote the class will, while Muriel Pagel and Bill Fagan planned the pro- grams. Ardath HemjDsted, Juna Wood, Wilma Johnson and Betty Everett were in charge of the decorations. The affair was planned under the supervision of Miss Blanche Terry, Miss Lucy Dillon and Miss Frances Lyon.

Commencement A Date With the World'' is the theme of the play to be presented at the Senior Commence- ment exercises, June 4. As in several preceding years, the commence- ment play was written entirely by students. Under the direction’ of Miss Marie Prahl a group of seniors met once a week to discuss their ideas and to write the skit. Seeking a new idea with a touch of patriotism in it, the commencement committee decided upon a typical American family and their friends as the characters. They attempted to point out the obligation each citizen owes to American society. The practical and every day phase of patriotism was stressed and the opportunities for various individuals to serve their country at home were shown. In addition the play deals with the benefits of education, graduation time and numerous ca- reers open to young people. It also illustrates the fact that students never know what positions their former classmates will fill. The play that was finally accepted for pre- sentation was written by Betty Didier and Joyce Holzberg. Others who assisted and criticized their work were: Helen Mikelson, Lee Buck, Bruce Cooke, Ella Lehr, Emma Miller, Joan Mil- ler, Mary Lou Pelletier, Bob Burnham, Shirley Armstrong, Stephen Veselenak, Lynn Hogeboom, Rhoda Loder and Jacquelyn Harbeson. Joyce Holzberg also wrote the poem for the pantomime. With Mrs. Nelda Topolka, Mrs. Carol Foley, Miss Marie Prahl and Gene Riccelli as judges, tryouts were held to determine the cast of the play. The characters included in the play are: Dick, the graduating son; Susie, the graduating daughter; Jack, who wants to be a doctor; Jane, who wants to be a nurse; Lois, who wants to be a housewife; Mary, who wants to be a secretary; Red, the potential business man; the older broth- er of Susie and Dick and the narrator of the presentation. Members of the faculty assisted in planning the commencement program and served on num- erous committees. They arranged the music, stage, programs, tickets, distribution and collec- tion of caps and gowns and other details. The success of the commencement exercises will be largely due to the work of these various commit- tees. Baccalaureate Traditional Baccalaureate services will be held for the graduating class Sunday, June 1, at the First Presbyterian church. Doctor Ralph Kearns will deliver the address for the occasion. This will be the second appearance of the senior class dressed in caps and gowns before commencement. Tradition prescribes that each senior attend the service which will start in a march from the church basement to the church auditorium, where seniors take their places in the order designated in preliminary instructions. Music for the occasion will be furnished by the Northern choir, under the direction of Leroy Dan- iels. Other Northern students taking part will be the junior boys, who will act as ushers. As a conclusion to the program a display of American and Michigan flags will be made. Members of the faculty in charge of arranging for the services are Mrs. Lura Brewer, Mrs. Mar- ion West, Herman Steele, Jack Hubbard. Page 78 1941 THEY'RE TOPS IN SCHOLARSHIP Ranking highest scholastically are, left to right, Eileen Berry, Betty Didier and Jacqueline Harbeson, who tied for Valedictorian. Bruce Cooke, right, ranks next and was named Salutatorian. Senior Award Night Because they maintained the highest schol- astic average through their senior high school career, 79 students were singled out for special recognition on Senior Honor Award Night, held May 28. By maintaining a straight A average, three students, Eileen Berry, Betty Didier and Jac- queline Harbeson tied for Valedictorian. Bruce Cooke, with next highest honors, was named Salutatorian. Fourteen students graduated with High Hon- ors and 61 With Honors. Those who received high honor recognition maintained a scholastic aver- age mid-way between an A and a B up to the Salutatorian. The With Honor group had an average ranging from a B” up to mid-way be- tween an A and a B. To the boy and the girl adjudged as having given the most worthwhile service to the school during their three years at Northern, the Latin club presented the Inter Nos Service Award. Named as recipients were Margaret Tripp and Bruce Cooke. The selection was made by a committee of teachers and Latin club members. Non-school awards were made by civic groups to students in various fields. The D. A. R. Good Citizenship Token presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution went to Rhoda Loder, who was selected by a vote of the senior girls as ranking highest in dependability, service, lead- ership and patriotism. The D A.R. United States History Award, which goes to the student receiving first place in the competitive examination, had not been chosen when the Noroscope went to press. The American Legion Boy's High Scholarship Award was given to Bruce Cooke. The American Legion Girl's High Scholarship Award was pre- sented to each of the Valedictorians. The Good Citizenship Medals were given to the boy and girl who achieved the highest personal traits average in the senior class in addition to maintaining a B” average. The presentation was made by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In addition to the medals and cash awards, scholarships to Junior College were presented. Extra-Curricular Awards In addition to students receiving recognition for scholastic achievement, a large number were rewarded for their extra-curricular activity at the Award Night ceremonies.
