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.

Being a111ong strangers means nothing to June. 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.
