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.
