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

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
