NORTHER IGH SCHOOLS SEMI ANNUAL! UNEM With so many of our students in the service, and so many more who are planning to enter it, the VIKING staff for June, 1944, chose Our Armed Forces as their theme. This motif has been carried out by the use of various service emblems throughout the book. 1 4 TONTENTS Dedication ' F C ULTY GRADUATED HOUSES ACTIVITIE O SPORTS. ads: teacher, friend, and fellow alumnus, Mr. Harry Goldstein, whose tireless endeavors in journalism and dramatics make the senior year com¬ plete, we sincerely dedicate this VIKING . FACUL MARI N E«$ S. GUTHJKIE Mr. J. E. Tanis Principal To the Members of the Class of June, 1944: Your class has been an excellent one, a credit to the school. In these uncertain days, advice is difficult to give. As a class, however, you cannot fail in your duty if you look for the best in your fellowman, speak well of him, and act with kindness toward him. With this theme in mind, work hard and work steadily; success will be yours and your fellowman ' s. We send you forth to these new suc¬ cesses. J. E. TANIS a. l.

Actively participating in TREASURER school affairs, Jimmy has become a favorite with all. James Collins Stuart Chipman—An exponent of school spirit is this fine athletic specimen who serves our class as vice-president. His leadership, reliability, and cooperation have demon¬ strated his qualifications as a leader. Geraldine Bledsoe—Quiet and unassuming, with a charm¬ ing personality is our secretary, Geraldine Bledsoe. Ger¬ aldine has taken part in many social activities outside of school and To do to the best of my ability what is as¬ signed is her motto. James Collins—James Collins, class treasurer, better known as Jimmy , and characterized by his height of 5 ' 5 , gained recognition through his constant participation in track activities and through, his work in the Physics and Spanish clubs. Favorite of all, Jimmy is quite a busy fellow these days. Page sixteen Members of the Graduating Class of June, 1944: For three years most ot us have looked forward to the day on which we would graduate from high school. The anticipation of finally streaming gaily from the halls of Northern seemed wonderful. But, as the hour approaches, we hesitate. We find ourselves loath to leave. The plunge into the turbulent, swirling, and sometimes dark waters of the world is quite an undertaking. What is ahead for us? What are we going to make of ourselves? Just where is our place? These are questions that time alone will answer, but certainly they require serious thinking and planning. For a few, education, in the book sense, is not completed, and they will enter college. However, all of us have only begun our worldly education. Our stay at Northern has taught us much concerning relationships with different kinds of people. In studies, in friendships, in extra-curricular activities, and in sports we differ vastly. Even so, there is a definite bond between all of us— school spirit. Northern has been good to us—how good we shall not realize until some years have passed. Many sturdy friendships, invaluable knowledge, and the foundation on which our character is built will then be traced back to the happy period at school. Pleasant memories of the congenial, patient, and consider¬ ate teachers, who have made our studies easier, will at that time come flooding into mind. Winning the war is the task immediately at hand, while the problem of creating a just peace and a safe world looms ahead. Whether in the Armed Forces, in peacetime industry, in the home—no matter where—we all have our part to play. We cannot fail. We must not fail. Good luck, seniors! Wherever you go, whatever you do, remember the traditions of the Red and Blue. JAMES BEAR.

Wiley. The Student Council, under the guidance and with assistance of Mr. Whitmer, has successfully completed its work for this semester. The president of each house is usually elected to the Student Council. This semester we have only two boys ' houses, so it was necessary to select two other students for filling the position. Members of the Student Council are composed of ten 12A ' s worthy of its honor and two 12B representatives, a girl and a boy. With the help of other select seniors, they compile the Viking. The Stu¬ dent Council participates in patriotic activities of the school and assists in new projects of any kind which pertain to the students. Some of our chief aims are to improve the school activities and help main¬ tain a greater school spirit. We, the Student Council, wish to thank Mr. Whitmer for helping us make our task easy and enjoyable. Page nineteen $una 1944 Mary Lee E.

JAMES BEAR Vice-President DONALD KAHN Secretary LOREN JOHNSTON Treasurer V J-joute 308 This year House 308 will celebrate its 27th anniversary, having earned the title, House of Champions. The House has always helped keep Northern at the top. The counselors, also, have had their part in helping. The first of these was Paul Hall. Mr. Owen Emmons, now Principal of Cooley High School, was also counselor of 308. A professor at Wayne University, E. W. McFarland, served later in this position, as did Mr. McGrath, our present Assistant-Principal. House 308 has won trophies in swimming, baseball, and football. Its mem¬ bers have taken part in many other school activities. This year we have three of the senior class officers. Of course, we present members cannot take credit for making the House what it is today. The man who gets most of the credit is Mr. E. J. McRay. We of 308 extend to the seniors the best of luck. The rest of us hope to keep up the name of 308, House of Champions. Page thirty-four 4Joil q 207 When we look back over the three fleeting years spent at Northern High School, we shall think of those first days with the numerous freshmen who had come from many schools to fashion this next step in their design for living. We shall remember especially the fine group in the Mary Gamble House where good fellowship, team work, and friendliness will always be a cherished memory. Every individual in this house has made a contribution. Students in the Mary Gamble House have the distinction of giving some leadership to the school and class. We are grateful to all our teachers for the skills that they have given us and for the patience and untiring efforts which they have put forth into develop¬ ing our characters. Particularly are we grateful to Miss Jane Giddings, whose thoughtfulness, patience, tact and resourcefulness have helped us over many hard spots and have made our stay in the Mary Gamble House an experience never to be forgotten. To the Principal and the entire faculty of Northern High we express our deep appreciation for aiding us in successfully completing this important part of our design for living. First Row: Y.

Whitmer chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, inducted nine members into its ranks this term. The roster is made up of writers and editors of the school paper and semi- annual, who have manifested outstanding journalistic ability. To become a member of Quill and Scroll a student also must have a scholastic standing in the upper fourth of his class. The faculty adviser of the Northern Light and Mr. Whitmer, English department head, select the candidates, subject to the approval of the national officers of the organization. Page forty-eight Jhhtattj The spacious library at Northern High contains not only books, diction¬ aries, and encyclopedias, but magazines, newspapers, and everything that is necessary for supplementary references in high school. The library staff, which is under the direction of Miss Lyon, has been well trained to help anyone at anytime for information. These pupils who have taken the job as student librarians have taken it not only for the two and a half hours ' credit, but because they are interested in the work. Our library has been given some very fine gifts by various graduation classes. A few of these gifts are an old grandfather clock, a display case, Vene¬ tian blinds, and plants. First Row: B.

Chosen and directed by Mr. Goldstein, Stage Door, presented by the 12A class, proved a huge success on both the first and second nights. Written by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, the play possessed many outstanding characters suitable to the talents of our senior class. New York holds the action of the play. It is a story of a group of young girls who have come to New York to crash Broadway. They live at the Footlights Club, a boarding house managed by Mrs. Orcutt. The plot concerns Terry Randall, ably portrayed by Mary Dell Roberts and Lorene Randodph, who fights her way to a position in the theatre with the help of an idealistic producer. Bill Cornell assisted Mr. Goldstein and Loren Johnston handled the stage scenery with the assistance of Adolph Silverstein and Jack Jacobs. Page fifty-four oot rr The Prompt Book Who ' s cooking—you?

Working under pressure of wartime difficulties, the Radio Unit, sponsored by Mr. Goldstein, instituted a new series of daily news announcements over the public address system. John Ohliger supervised this extension of the activities of the unit. Morton Gordon, Bill Cornell, Bob Godsey, Mary Dell Roberts, and Gloria Cedar delivered the announcements third through sixth hours from the stage of the auditorium. Several members of the unit participated in radio programs over Detroit stations by the Department of Radio Education. Working as a group, the unit presented over Station WJBK a radio adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe ' s, ' Tall of the House of Usher.

El Circulo Espanol, founded in 1922, has actively participated in capturing and preserving the spirit of Spain as well as that of the Latin Americas. Through the means of meetings, held at regular intervals, it has been the aim of this outstanding club to acquaint the student body of Northern with songs, games, legends, and discussions—all reminiscent of Spanish culture. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Russell, a great many other outside activities have been successfully accomplished. Typical of these are the annual picnic and the Christmas party, which are given in the true style of the Spanish-speaking nations. Membership is open to students upon entering the second semester of Spanish—providing, of course, that scholarship ratings are satisfactory. Page fifty-eight ] hlj5lC5 The Physics Club, sponsored by Mr. Rolfe and Mr. Bigler, was organized in 1923 by students who were members of the Radio Club, but became more interested in physics and its practical uses. The bi-weekly meetings were prearranged by a chosen committee. In¬ cluded in the program has been a trip to the Wayne University Physics Labora¬ tory, where we observed the main principles of physics in practice, a lecture by an eminent physicist, and unusual experiments and demonstrations given by members of the club. As a conclusion to the semester, the club plans to have a picnic at Lola Valley Park. First Row: B. Gossett, B. Barnes, Mr. Rolfe, Mr. Bigler, W. Rattner, N. Salowich, J. Bear, V. Louis.

Roller skating parties, basketball games, table tennis tournaments, and debates were among the varied activities carried out by the club last semester to entertain the members during their spare time. The club ' s membership drive, started after the second week of school, terminated with excellent results, the group having been augmented by sev¬ eral new pledges. Steps have also been taken in an effort to procure sweaters for each member. Page sixty ' [PqUcl Kappa The Delta Kappa is one of the oldest and foremost clubs of Northern. In preceding terms, the girls have sold bonds. Though that has been discontinued this year, the girls are still doing all they can to further the war effort.

The Girl Reserve movement started in 1912 and spread all over the world. At the present, nearly every high school in Detroit has a Girl Reserve Club with their headquarters in the Y. W. C. A. Activities of the club include meetings addressed by speakers, yearly Thanksgiving baskets for the needy, Red Cross work, trips, joint meetings with the Hi-Y, and ushering at commencement exercises. Girl Reserves try to uphold their slogan, To face life squarely, and their purpose, To find and give the best. Page sixty-two Jlatln lu! The Latin Club was formed a year and a half ago to promote a greater interest in the classics and to give Latin students a knowledge of the ancient civilization to which this world of today is so indebted for government, laws, literature, arts, and languages. Membership is open to those who are now studying Latin and who have a genuine interest in the classics. Programs are given at our meetings under the supervision of Our sponsors, Miss Dean and Miss Zinck, on subjects relating to famous people and customs of ancient and modern Italy. Although the Latin Club is the youngest of Northern ' s clubs, it has been successful and we hope that it will continue to be a source of interest to students for many years to come. First Row: A.

The Eski-Ettes, under the able sponsorship of Miss Heiden, started their activities with a bang by giving a tea for twenty new members, all of whom participate in some sport at Northern or are on the cheering squad. With this enlarged membership, the club has carried on its many activities of assist¬ ing the school nurse, selling school boo ' kcovers, and aiding the health depart¬ ment in furthering the interest of girls ' sports here at Northern by campaigning and selling tickets to the games. For entertainment the club has had frolics, hikes, splash parties, and picnics. Page sixty-four ' TtldeaL £utety2Q After graduation in January, the membership in the Trideal-Euterpe Club shrank considerably. This, however, has not handicapped us, for after initiating our new members, we have continued our many activities. Since the Trideal-Euterpe Club was organized, the members have worked to increase school spirit, and promote friendship among the students. In the last few years we have added Red Cross work and other charitable projects to these activities. As always, we have looked to Miss Teninga, Miss Elliott, and Miss Claw¬ son for their guidance and leadership. For this we would like to thank them.

Among the various activities of the semester were dances, swimming, bowling parties, and the addition of new members, besides the sale of book- covers and ushering for the senior play. Basketball and baseball games were held with other organizations throughout the term. In this way, and by means of house parties, the newcomers have become well acquainted with the other fourteen members. Keeping in tempo with these war times, the House of Representatives enjoys writing to and hearing from former members now serving in the armed forces. To these and to the present graduates, the House wishes the very best of luck. Page sixty-six Hoy ’ HalltQtbaU First Row: D. Jones, J.Jacobson, C. Frankel, S. Chipman, L. Coleman. Second Row: R.
