THEME Northern is proudest of all over her biggest and most valuable service. She has given men whom she has trained for good living and free- dom. She ha.s and is giving men to fight for a democracy, the principles, functions and bene- fits of which are familiar to them as a result of her good, free, and thorough instruction. The pamphlets of Northern's War Information Center which is in the library became well- worn as Vikings increased their knowledge of world affairs. Being well-informed is a Viking goal. The North Wind was sent to 170 boys over seas. This took time, energy and money. The Military Mail Box staff willingly gave the first two requirements and kept the boys supplied. A new course was added this last semester which follows in line with Northern's patriotic doings, The Community Health class, aided the over-worked people in Flint hospitals by doing practical work there. The girls made their own uniforms and wore them at the hospital when they carried trays, made beds, fed pa- tients, ran errands and etc. Five hours a week practical work were rendered by this class. They learned about health and helped spread knowledge and health consciousness by weigh- ing, measuring and testing the eyes of Garfield children. But as long as Uncle Sam is shouting, '1Hold that line the Viking will not stop, for he wants to do all he can in hastening the day in which he and many others, some who would have had their names added to the list if not for Viking efforts, can enjoy that future when Uncle Sam shows us why that line was not formed in vain. Help Shortage-lllustrating the fact that Northern students are giving their time to a useful cause are the pictures shown here.

THEME In the same process he has helped to stamp a veto on I-Iitler's and Hirohito's ideas of right and living while he has hastened the stamp of home-ward bound on our boys' orders. Yes, the Viking deserves his place on the Bond Wagon. During the Fourth War Loan Drive, various Northern girls volunteered their time and serv- ice to selling of War Bonds and Stamps in Flint theaters, while others canvassed from house to house for the War Chest. Northern staged scrap, paper, magazine, Red Cross, War Chest, and Easter Card Drives. No Simon LeGree or any Nazical facimile was necessary. Much scrap was collected, 4,850 pounds of magazines, 300 dollars for the Red Cross, 450 dollars for the War Chest, and 950 Easter Cards. The sewing classes made 250 garments for wounded soldiers. This was one of the Red Cross activities conducted at N. H. S. The boys also helped in this deed because they, if caught, were used for fittings. A talent contest staged by the drama class drew 65 dollars. This money was donated to the Iunior Red Cross Chapter for use in further- ing the servicemen's slippers project. Angels of mercy-For the past semester girls from the North- ern Community Health Class have been working at Hurley Hospital on Saturday mornings and Tuesday nights, The girls helped the nurses by making beds, giving baths and feeding patients.
