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.

NYe believe in that motto Try, try, again! ltVith the hope that our marks will be Uhandsomef' But more than that we are trying to raise enough 'gdoughn To pay for this yearbook-and then some. XVe have tried to convey in poetic style lNhat we've done and how we feel- So that when we leave this high school in june Our presence here, will still seem real. -F. M. K. 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.
