This is not just an ordinary Yearbookg it is a book for Seniors only composed of Senior pictures and stories. As you turn the pages you will notice a new informality of style. Because your life at school was informal we have tried to recapture this spirit throughout the book. Your appreciation of WE, SENIORS will be our reward for the efforts we put forth in publishing it.

That is why we wish to dedicate this book to our advisors, Kathleen O,Rourke, Erna Karolyi and Gordon Collister. Though we must now bid them a fond farewell we shall always remember how successfully they guided us through that last turbulent but significant year at Northport High School.

But before we go let us turn back the pages of time and review those days that were so full of fun and learning. It seems as though it was only yesterday that we took that momentous step in our life. That was in 1937 when we became Freshmen in Northport High School. Remember how grown up we felt when we went to our Freshman party? It was a very special occasion for another reason: Mother had given us permission to stay out until eleven-thirty! The first year over, we left for summer vacation, but we came back next fall full-fledged, conhdent Sophomores. How we looked down upon those 'glittle Freshmen. After all we were in our second year and therefore, en- titled to certain liberties. And a few extra liberties we had. Most of us joined clubs and took active part in the school government. Others busied themselves learning new and interesting subjects. It was an exciting ex- perience to be allowed to choose our own courses of study. No longer would we have to sit through dull, wearisome lessons. We were Sophomores now, and could do as we wanted. Before we knew it, however, our Sophomore year had come to an end. l7l This meant that we had become uppcrclassmen. Words are hard to find when trying to describe the self-importance we felt as Juniors. No longer were we just members of clubs and organizations, now we had problems of our own to deal with. Most important of all was the task of raising enough money for a Junior Prom. Meetings were held, suggestions were made and dances were given. By the time May arrived we had a bank account and an abundance of ideas. Thanks to Bob Sims, our class President, and Mary Gray, chairman of the Prom committee, our affair was a brilliant success. That evening we danced to the theme of Stardust. Overhead, stars twinkled and sparkled as we glided along, mingling with Southern belles in frilly net gowns, with eighteenth century girls in hooped skirts, and with sophisticated modern damsels. When the evening festivities were over we had a few withered flowers left, an empty pocketbook and a program full of scintillating memories of our Junior Prom. At the end of the year June Werner won the oratorical contest for the second time and Helen Froebel was chosen as the girl who had done the most for the Junior Class. As we look back on these three years in high school we can be proud of the things we accomplished and the part we played in student life. In the fall of 1940 we returned for the last time. The days flew by bring- ing us closer and closer to the time when we would have to leave our Alma Mater. Looking at the pictures on the opposite pages we are reminded of the many activities that made our last year so outstanding. The first thing we did when we entered school as Seniors was to elect our Senior ofiicers. A count of the votes established Stephen Nemeth as our class President, VVilliam Bradford, Vice-President, Frances Kirchner, Secre- tary, and Bill Lazell, Treasurer. Miss 0'Rourke, Mr. Collister and Miss Karolyi were our class advisors. Now we were ready to work. We had a yearbook to publish and that meant raising money. But how? A dance was suggested and a dance was Faculty L. to R. I. Adelaide Kaufmann, John B. Miller, Dr. Lyle L. Morris. 2. Harold Gloff, Charles Kissam and Howard Hurff, Helen Oprandy. 3. John Martin, Adele Breaux, Harry Grimwade, Sylvia Kline, Catherine Lukins. 4. Chester Miller, George Tiffany and Alice Miller, Thomas Moore. S l 3 l ff v L given. It was a unique affair. The old conventional idea of boy asking girl was reversed. To this dance the girls asked whomever they wished. Of course they paid for the tickets also, but it was a lot of fun. We also had a bake sale, sold Xmas cards, and had a rallcle. Our spirits jumped when we discov- ered they had been succeessful. Maybe we could have a classbook after all. A Senior classbook staff was formed. Zelda Blum was chosen editor, Florence Overton, assistant editor, Irmgard Beckmann, secretary, Bill Lazell, treasurer, and Charles Cross, Selma Bloomfield and Gale Trenary, adver- tising managers. The members of the staff were: Helen Froebel Rosella Palermo Bertha Allen Frances Kirchner Helen Ostrander June Werner Arlene Mahoney Dorothy McDonald Florence Sayek Bessie Holden Cartj Edith Ketcham Charlene Morse Dorothy Kouwenhoven lNIoney making and dances were not the only activities that we were occu- pied with. Many of our Seniors held positions in our student government. Student participation in government first took place in 1932, when a Student Council, under the direction of Miss Kaufmann, was organized. This Council combined with the Traffic Squad and Student Court. At that time the Council tried all cases and was superior to the Squad and Court: it became a separate organization and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Student Council. At the present time there are seven Seniors on the TTBEC Squad. They are YVilliam Bradford, Leroy Scuddcr, john Dickerson, Charles Weeks, Gordon Swezey, Robert Sims, and Lillian Straub. Seniors L. to R. I. Famous Couples, Hurry, hurry, the bell! 2. Smile pretty, Working hard. Center. Spring is here! 3. Whois winning? Ouch, it's hot! 4. Sweet and handsome, Busy boys. llll In the Student Court, Bill Bradford is Senior judge, and tries all cases, while Lillian Straub is Court Stenographer. Also, every week there are two Seniors chosen for the jury. In order to be eligible, they must have passed at least three subjects and not have had a summons issued to them. We should be very proud of these Seniors, because lVIr. Moore says it is the best Traffic Squad we ever had in the school and our Seniors have helped make this Squad what it is today. Seniors have contributed more than their quota to the development of athletics in Northport High School. Girls' sports are very popular among the students. Hockey, basketball, tennis, archery, soccer, badminton, baseball and volley ball are only a few of the sports that the girls compete in. Hockey and basketball, however, draw the largest number of participants. Miss Miller, their lovable coach, is very proud of her girls, for they have practiced tirelessly to build up a team that has been undefeated. Outstanding athletes among the Senior girls are Connie Cavanagh, Edith Ketcham, Dorothy Meyer, Lillian Straub, jane Scudder, Valera Janes, Gale Trenary, Barbara Downs, Pamela Oline, Dorothy Stoddard and Florence Overton. The efforts of these girls, plus those of their team mates, have not been without reward. The girls can proudly boast that both the hockey and basketball teams have been undefeated. Everyone knows Connie Cavanagh, who in her Sophomore year won her major letter. This outstanding feat is seldom accomplished by girls in their Senior year. Connie is captain of the basketball team. She is known for her prowess on the hockey field, tennis and basketball courts. Connie is a No. I tennis player. Northport unanimously acclaims Connie its Outstanding girl athlete! Another girl who is well known for her ability and skill in sports is good- natured Edith Ketcham. Edith uses her Ford to drive tired, hungry girls home at the end of practice sessions. Everyone admits that Edie is a per- fect example of a girl athlete. Her good sportsmanship, shown by her Athletics L. to R. 1. Soccer, Yea team! 2. Basketball-undefeated, Tennis 3. Football. 4.

Dorothy Nleyer is known for her ability on the hockey field, tennis and basketball courts. Dot has already received her athletic letter. In 1939 North- port had the honor of having Dorothy Meyer selected for the all Long Island Hockey Team at the Suffolk County Girl Tournament. In 1940 Northport again received this honor when Connie Cavanagh, Edith Ketcham and Valera Janes were chosen for the Tournament. Now turning to boys' sports we find that the class of ,41 had two out- standing performers, Pat Bruen and Gordon Swezey. Randall t'Patrick Bruen is chiefly noted for his football prowess. When the pigskin parade was inaugurated in Northport High School in the fall of '38, Pat was an enthusiastic member of the group that turned out for prac- tice sessions. Pat has played football for three years, V. basketball and is an outfielder on the baseball team. He has also received honorable mention as an all Suffolk guard. Gordon Swezey, the other outstanding athlete of the class of ,4I, has played football since its inception at Northport High School. Swezey has been a member of the V. basketball squad, captained the jay Vee,s in the past season, and has been a member of the baseball team for three years. Other members of the class of '41 who have done their share in sports for Tiger Teams are Jerry Terry, Bob Sims, Alan Lustig, Werner Dangle- maier, Bob Cannon and Charles Weeks. These boys have played football, baseball and basketball. Two members of the class of '41 that Father Time forced out of action in their Senior year were Leroy Scudder and John Dickerson. Scudder was crack center in the basketball team while Dickerson played two years of football and V. basketball. Stephen Nemeth and Bill Lazell represented our class on the Tennis Courts. Bill has played for three years and Steve for two. Both have been coached by Mr. Messmer. The members of the class of '41 that have participated in sports will al- ways remember Coach Tiffany for his guidance, aid and advice. Those boys who played football had the added pleasure of working with general assistant, Coach Collister. An Interview with Our Advisor.: KATHLEEN OIROURKE: Tall, blonde Kathleen O'Rourke hails from the state of Iowa. There she attended Grinnell and received an A.B. degree. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board, a national honor society for college women. Con- tinuing her studies at Columbia she was given an A.M. degree in French. Later the French Government offered her a scholarship to study at the Sor- bonne, one of the most famous universities in the world. Again she returned to Columbia to start work for her Ph.D. in French l15l However, the business world beckoned and there she spent the next few years. Three years later Northport added lVIiss O'Rourke to its faculty. Five years have gone by and Miss O'Rourke has continued to win new laurels. Many of her spare moments are spent at the piano where she Hnds special enjoyment in Spanish and South American music. For the future she hopes there will be more time for the study of music. GORDON IZ. COLLISTIERZ Mr. Collistcfs statement udid almost everything from A to Z at collegen is typical of his activities at Northport. Born in Utica, New York, he received his schooling at the Utica Free Academy and Baldwin High School on Long Island. Mr. Gollister chose Princeton to work for his A.B. and N. Y. U. for his M.A. degree. While at Princeton he belonged to the Gateway Club. He is a member of the Kappa Delta Pi and of the National Honor Society. He is active in sports, finds time for symphonic music and is classed as a rabid camera L'Fiend. Mr. Gollister has been at Northport for six years as teacher of General Science, Physics and 7th grade science. ERNA KAROLYII Charming and petite Erna Karolyi, born in Hungary, came to America in 1930. Her art training began in high school in Budapest. In America she con- tinued her training at Pratt Institute, where she took a course in Art Teach- ers' training, and at New York University, where she received her B.S. degree. For her outstanding work at art school she was presented with the Bronze Medal. At Pratt she received the Blue Ribbon award and a Gold key from N. Y. U. She is also a member of the Professional National Honor Society and a member of Kappa Delta Pi. Before coming to Northport, Miss Karolyi supervised elementary grades, the art department of Y. VV. G. A. in Brooklyn and Newark and taught at the Brooklyn Academy of Science and Music, She is a lover of folk dancing and enjoys numerous outdoor sports. Ii6l Chapter II Senior Days The years have Hown by quickly and now we are looking forward to the day we will receive our diplomas and the doors of our Alma Mater will close behind us forever. We are leaving the sheltered but stimulating days we knew as students at Northport. VVe are going out into a world that is Hghting for the very things we have learned to love and cherish. As the years come and go this elassbook will become more and more important to us. VVhether we are in China, Australia or Brazil all we need do is turn the pages of VVE, SENIORS and we suddenly find ourselves back in Northport. No magic carpet is needed, no 'gopen sesame, only a little book to bring us home again. Although the year is almost gone, we are still part of the student body and so let us relive our Senior year just once more before we go. Fanny Kirchner, our valedictorian, wrote the poetry for our book, so we will let her start off on our backward journey. We Seniors Most poets are usually given the gift To write poems with reason and rhyme. So, if these words don't make sense to you Won,t you please forgive us this time? l17l ff! L. to R. lI9l This story of the class of forty-one lXIay seem to you dull, perhaps L'dry But we hope that it will play a part In the history of NORTHPORT HIGH! In September nineteen hundred forty, NVe held a class meeting to choose The ofldcers of this famous Senior Class, These are the results that made news: The leader of our Senior Class Was found to be Steve Nemeth, Wfith Bill Bradford as our Vice-President We were sure to reach our Zenith. Lazell has held his palm out-stretched In vain we've tried to fill it He gives his reports both bad and good To Fran to write down in her minutes. At our meetings we've tried to do many things We've held dances, and bake sales and raffles. Some were successes and others a flop For our banquet we might only have waffles. Of our first dance we'll politely say nothing Though it really wasnlt too bad, We sold magazines to cover the cost Of the broken bottles we had. Csodaj Qur bake sale boosted our spirits The results were more inspiring 'Cause c'Edie collected both cakes and cash With efforts that seemed untiring. Senior Portraits Allen, A. Barth, I.

Here are some of the events that have put the class of '41 on the records of Northport High School. At the beginning of the year a new form of Student Government was organized. Replacing the Student Council an S. O. or Student Organization was formed. Gordon Swezey was elected president of this new government and has guided it carefully and efhciently through the First year. Around the S. O. revolves the social life of our school. The assembly committee of the Student Organization is responsible for all assembly programs. The S. O. also gives dances, helps to finance clubs, assemblies and other features of our student life. The Seniors could not be outdone in the arts, either. When the Little Theater's first production, THE POT BOILER, opened, we found the Seniors literally 'fswarmingn over the place. Mary Gray made a charming usherette as she showed us to our seats. Florence Overton was in charge of the make-up and Charles Cross was responsible for the effective lighting. Thomas Grasley worked on sets, col- lected tickets, and typed the scripts and programs. It was in the acting, however, that the Seniors really displayed their talent. June VVerner, as Mrs. Pencil, in THE POT BOILER, gave us her interpretation of a redheaded vampire. Charles Cross was perfect as a dod- dering old man and Gordon Swezey proved that he was ready for a Holly- wood megaphone in his portrayal of a playwright and director. Tommy Grasley was the sophisticated hero of the story. Mary Klaboe again proved that she was the righteous owner of the title 'cClass Actress when she held the audience spellbound for ten minutes. Senior Portraits L. to R. I. R. Glover, T. Grasley, M. Gray, W. Gunther. 2. E. Hilliger, B. Holden, V. Janes, H. Jenelten. 3. K. Jones, E. Ketcham, F. Kirchner, M. Klaboe. 4. D. Kouwenhoven, C. Laughlin, W. Lazell, D. Leibman. 5. G. Liabos, A. Lustig, A. Macedonia, A. Mahoney. l21l , f Mary gave a beautiful performance of the suffering a woman goes through in time of war. The Little Theater and these talented Seniors are thankful to have Mr. Shumer as their able and experienced director. The Senior class was enlarged when four new Seniors joined the student body of Northport High. First there was Betty Downey, who stayed only a few months. Then came Pamela Oline straight from London, England. Pamela is a tall, shy girl with big eyes and a brilliant mind. She likes to listen to a symphony orchestra and spends most of her time reading. After graduation she hopes to go to college. Right now, however, her main ambi- tion is to be able to drive a car. Pamela says she likes America better than England, but that it took her quite some time to get used to American schools. Later in the season the Senior class boasted a new redhead, Frances Chandler. Frances is a wide awake Southern girl who speaks her mind. For a pastime she rides horseback and writes short stories. She likes to keep busy and is going to study to be a nurse. Albert Pennino comes from Huntington, where he still spends most of his time. After graduation, Albert is going to take up some type of work in aviation. VVe are glad to have these new Seniors, who really belong to us now. NVe hope that you like the pictures that have been taken. Some of them were snapped by a professional photographer and others were taken by Harold Jenelten. Did you notice the one of Bobby Rose? Bobby really does work-sometimes. Herels a little poern that Fanny has dedicated to him- Industrious Bobby Can be seen every day, Diligently working At his typewriter this way. Going back to those who have helped to make our class outstanding, we find June Werner. June is the Cicero of the Senior class. For three years she has held first place in the American Legion Oratorical Contest in Northport High School. Not satisfied with winning in her home town she has gone out among strangers to tell about Our Greatest Inheritance, The Constitution. Senior Portraits L. to R. 1. D. McDonald, R. Metz, D. Meyer, C.

She comes back to North- port bringing new laurels and thus giving fame to herself and the class of '41, These are only a few of the things that have made our class outstanding. There are many Seniors whose names have not been mentioned, yet who have done much for the class. As the year progressed Seniors continued to take part in all phases of school life. Charlene lXIorse won first prize in a poster contest, Helen Froebel was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the National Honor Society and Corre- sponding Secretary of the S. O.g Lillian Straub became a member of the Traffic Squad and thus had the honor of being the only Senior girl holding this position. She also was Court Stenographer and Secretary of the Traiiic Squad. Arlene Mahoney and Isabelle Getty represent the Seniors on the TIGER INKLING, while Eugene Blortensen saw to it that every Senior would have a cap and gown to graduate in. Mary Gray and Florence Sayek continued to encourage our boys on to victories as cheerleaders. Bill Bradford as a Senior Judge administered justice in our school. On April 8, 1941 we all heard the good news that Frances Kirchner had been chosen Valedictorian of our class and Stephen Nemeth, Salutatorian. Now our school days are ending and we must face the future. Let us hope that HIT IS NOT THE SUNSET BUT THE DAWN. National Honor Society One of the highest honors anyone can be given and the thing students try hardest for is to be elected to the National Honor Society. This Society is of more benefit to the student as an individual than it is to the school. Since this organization has been widely adopted and is highly respected, it will be to the student's advantage if he is able to say in later years that he is a member of the National Honor Society. To be eligible for membership in this organization the student 1nust be in the upper third of his class. After the scholastic standing is determined, it is then decided whether the student is outstanding in regard to leadership, service, and character. These facts are decided by the members of his class and the faculty. No more than fifteen per cent of the graduating or Senior Senior Portraits L. to R. 1. J. Scudder, L. Scudder, R. Sims, D.

Five per cent of the members of the Junior class who are outstanding in the above mentioned qualities, are also elected. NYhile the National Honor Society is somewhat restricted in the things it can do because of the late election in May, it has, however, done some very worthwhile things. The new members in the Senior class elected to the society in I941 are: 1. lWary Klaboe 4. Zelda Blum 2. Frances Kirchner 5. Lillian Straub 3. june Werner 6. Irmgard Beckmann 7.

Aladdin was very fortunate in having his magic lamp to help him End out the things he wanted to know. If I could be Aladdin for five minutes I would rub the lamp and summon the two genii to let me see some of the Seniors five years from now. My wish is granted and the lamp is mine. A loud explosion is heard and Stephen Nemeth is seen emerging, very much bewildered, from the ruins of a once beautiful building. One of his experiments just didn't work for shall I say worked too welll so now he can resume his wandering, which incidentally started right after graduation. Perhaps he will Find someone like Mr. Hurff with whom he can argue. Irmie Beckmann is Stephen's very efficient secretary. He needs someone to un- tangle him when his experiments become too confusing. Stephen has brought to the scene Doctor Lazell and nurses Barbara Downs, Gale Trenary, Marie Schreiber, Elizabeth Conway, and Irene Mystkowski. Florence Overton has for the last two years been trying to work with HDoc Lazell as a medical technologist because it seems that she just can't forget him. Doctor Lazellls staff of nurses was decreased when Frances Chandler became Mrs. John Dickerson. Johnny was always getting headaches, whether because of his work or because he had to worry about all the girls who were attracted to him, I don't know, but he decided he needed the care of an experienced person. Johnny is now living a very peaceful life. Leroy Scudder is still being pursued by Dorothy McDonald and June Werner. Maybe Roy wishes he had l28l gone traveling with Bob Tuttle or exploring South America with HGeneral', Joe Tury. Then too, he could have gone to California with Tommy Grasley. The shrill siren of an ambulance prevents further thinking. Bessie Holden, who wanted to be an army ambulance driver, but changed her mind when 'ghisn one year term was over in the army, is now ready to help those injured by the explosion. Close behind her, without the aid of a siren but with much rattling, comes l'Cowgirl Ketch in her little Ford. Edie decided her Ford was just as good as, if not better than, any ambulance, so now she follows Bessie around quoting: MI hope that I shall never see A car like my old model T lVhose tires are so small and hard Each bump my spinal column jars, VX-'hose parts are cheap, but holy smoke! I buy so many that now I'm broke. From the new Northport School CStephen also blew up the old onej rush to the explosion Mary Klaboe, who is now teaching American History CShe's going to stop teaching soon and marry Werner Danglemaierj , Selma Bloom- field, who is a kindergarten teacher, and Bob Rose who has returned to school year after year to see if he can break his own record for tardiness, He has been in the Senior Class now for so long that the administration is seri- ously thinking of letting him start again from the Kindergarten. Bob has hired Flo Sayek to act as his secretary in keeping his tardiness record exact. Amato Macedonio, who was runner-up to Rose for tardiness, gave up long ago because he decided that maybe after all, Bob had too much of a lead. That ace photographer, Helly Jenelten, has been at the scene of the accident for quite a while getting all the best pictures. With him is his wife, Arlene Mahoney, who is also his secretary. A limousine, owned by those three famous million dollar playboys, Gordon R. Swezey, Alfred g'Ajax Wojcik, and Al Lustig, comes tearing up to the disaster. Lustig and VVojcik are rather downhearted because Gordon has just told them he is going to settle down and give up his life as a playboy because Connie Cavanagh has just said yes.', Speaking about settling down, Lil Straub decided she uhad it bad and has now been happily married to him,' for three years. Miss Karolyi, Miss O'Rourke, and Mr. Collister also arrive at the acci- dent, but upon seeing all the former Seniors, turn around and leave, but quickly! Oh, well, I suppose they haven't gotten over the first headache yet. My lamp is burning out Cmaybe I should have used a Hashlightij and the two genii are back to tell me that my wish has been fulfilled. Would you, if you had had the chance, made the same wish or would you have let things move along in their ordinary course?
