Great Neck North High School - Arista Yearbook (Great Neck, NY)

Changes have been made about us during the past year, two quite evident ones being the new Junior High School and the bronze service plaque in the front hall. The plaque, which is in memory of those who served in World War II from our school, was donated jointly by the Class of 1949 and Mr. Saul Epstein. The new Junior High represents the grow'th in our town, and though not yet finished as we go to press, is expected to open its doors for learning in September 1951.

F O REWORD INTRODUCIN' . . . Carpe Diem. Carpe, whose real Roman name is Carpe Caesar Diem, had been living inconspicuously among books and test papers for many years at Great Neck High School. He was first recognized when the new Senior rings arrived bearing his signa- ture, Carpe Diem. Enjoying this sudden recognition and determined to become more popular, Carpe decided to live up to his name, which in English means Seize the Opportunity, and change the spelling of his middle name Caesar to Seizer. Unfortunately, because of lack of time and facilities, Carpe found it impossible to seize all the many and varied opportunities available at G. N. H. S. But, one day, while brooding over his dilemma, he felt growing pains, and by lunch time, Seizer found himself eating with three hands. After that whenever Carpe was overwhelmed with work, another hand would appear, until finally he possessed the amazing total of eight. Now, with four pairs of hands, Carpe is always willing to help others, and often takes inventory while counting money in the G. O. Store. If you will take hold of one of Carpe's hands, you will see the many opportunities in Great Neck High School, and though they may change in years to come, the spirit that goes with them will ever remain the same.
