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.

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.
