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.

Houston . . . . . .Sponsor To promote the enjoyment of school activities for Northern students and lighten the difficulties and extra burdens caused by War was the aim of the Student Council the past year. To bolster the morale of the school, the athletic commission proposed more pep meetings. That these were a huge success was shown by the increased number of students at all games and a revived school spirit. The publicity commission began a project for pictures of servicemen from all graduating classes of Northern to be placed in a bulletin case, thus giving students a chance to view old friends and relatives now serving their country. Other work carried on by the Student Council was the sale of T. B. bangles, the decorating of the annual Northern Christ- mas tree, and the providing of a suggestion box for complaints and ideas for better school efficiency.
