THE TAMARACK JANUARY. 1934 Class History The class of January ' ' H is proud to leave a record of their achievements to the students in North Central. Most of us entered as the proverbial green freshmen from the Sjiokane grade schools, while the rest of us joined the ranks as sopho- mores from Havermale. Once we got started there was no stoi)i)!ng us. This class has turned out f() )H)all ])layers and leaders in wholesale lots. Some of North Central ' s best athletes in the history of the .school are leaving with our class. Howard Wassenar and Clarence Schmidt are among those leaving us for greener fields. These boys were all-city men this year. With the excellent coaching of Mr. Buckley and lots of enthusiasm from the student body we won the cliani])ionship of S))okane. The game was playetl by our team this year as it ' s rarely played in high schools. This class had more than the usual number of students who had exceptional executive abil- ity. RiKlerick l add(K ' k, known generally by his friends as Spud, headed both the senior 13 and senior A classes as i)resident. The honor of being president for two times in succession speaks for itself — so no more need be said. Spokane Smith was secretary of both the senior B and senior A class, and proved lier- self very capable in this office, and in many others. Catherine Oliver was president of the Girls ' League, and Vincent Sherman was presi- dent of the Boys ' Federation. Everyone knows they proved themselves to be capable as lead- ers, besides having charming personalities. The class of January ' 34 has backed with utmsual spirit all the school projects that have been undertaken. They have tried, and with success to keep the spirit and pep that has made North Central famous throughout the country. North Central loses with this class her foot- ball ))rincess of lf)Xi in the ])ersonage of Elsie Anderson. . sk anyone what a queen she really is. Clifford Hultgren, Alice Marr, Kenneth Gallagher and Bill Melson made up the prom committee. With the pep and salesmanship of these four | eople, anything would have to be a success. The prom was held on Friday, Jan- uary 19. . nd will anyone of us who attended that ))rom ever forget it? The .senior dramatics class made their debut with The Goose Hangs Higli, a three-act comedy. Those who took leads in the annual ] roductii)n were: Bess Adams, Chuck Frazier (who was also editor in chief of the North Central News, and as.soeiate editor of our Tammy ), Eleanor Peterson, Bill Melson, Ivan Emly and Marjorie Millar. After kid day which recalls the pleasures of all our school life we are ready with smiles and tears to turn the school over to the coming senior A ' s. Our time has come and we must go. Though we are perfectly willing to face the future with wimt it has in store for us, a feeling of sadness creejis into our hearts as the old doors at the .south entrance clo.se behind us and we face the bright light.s — and what- ever we may be expected to face in the future. CukkI old North Central. We ' ll never forget it! SIGNED: HELEN SCHUM. CHER, Chairman MILUKEU HITCHIE FREEMAN JENSEN + + I STAND ALONE Skc ' onu Phizk Pokm liy Gale Woods I stand alone Within the walls of my lonely heart No one has tried to reach the jiortals Of this shell that hides me They look at me in wonder They misinterpret my coldness .My silent manner, my indifferent look Nor have they tried to fathom the depths Of this mortal heart of mine I miss the joys of one who is understood The hai)piness of one who has known love I shrug my .shoulders and smile And no one knows of the hurt that dwells Here in my soul — Instead, I stand alone Within the walls of my lonely heart , nd lift my arms to God in prayer That someday I, too, shall know The bliss of standing not alone.

Class History BUSINESS STAFF ' IR(;iNIA JONES ADVERTISING MANAGER JACK VAN LIPPELOY CIRCULATION MANAGER JANUARY, 13:U VALUE OF MODERN EDUCATION On January 19, 193+, one hundred and ninety- seven students leave North Central to go out into the world as young American citizens. These y mng men and young women have just finished four ye.irs under the Red and Black colors. For four years these students have at- tended this high .school to receive their educa- tional foundation for work in future years. While here each one has studied the various subjects that he thought would best prepare him for his life work. It might be well to men- tion that iieople have been heard to say that .some of the subjects now taught in the public .schools arc valueless. Nevertheless, .some of the greatest educ.itors in the country are firm in their belief that the subjects now taught are the ones that will be of the greatest advantage to the students in years to come. A few years ago only men experienced in the different kinds of labor were able to find ))ositions. Now men and women alike are able to fill the requirements for almost every con- ceivable jwsition. In the school of a qu.irter of a century ago, only the very basic subjects were taught; whereas in this modern day high schools give almost every subject that can be taught. Today we can take courses in music, journalism, wo(Klworking, mechanics and in almost every branch of art and science along with the more basic subjects. In the old school, the young people hnd no choice as to what they should study. Today students can almo.st always choose subjects that will give them a good start on their life vocal ion. . ' 11 students and all parents should appre- ciate the.se facts and should back modern schools to the fullest extent. The present graduating class J nows that it has received many things of value to them from North Central. To prove this they are all going out into the world to accomjilish thirigs that will bring i)raise and glory to North Central high. Page thirty
