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.

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.
