attitude in all situations, should be an example for girls who desire to be outstanding athletes. 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.
