Embarkation POETS heretofore have chanted dirges, Notes of sadness, word of prophesy. But from sorrow of farewell emerges That subdued, exulting gaiety High school days have held in store for me. There appear as memories at leaving Joy for friendships made, accomplishment, Due reward for it: And for achieving, More than verbal praise, a real content. Time will show us what these things have meant We will learn that time is but a thieving Virtue, stealing ill and leaving fond, Casting off the sadness and receiving In its boundless bosom every bond Tying friendships now to years beyond. I'l1 sigh no regretful sighs at going. Years well spent at North have done their part. Rather will I feel a joy in knowing For the years to come I've had my start. l'l1 hold North forever in my heart. -By John Davis.

The Biggest ctme I often used to wonder In a foolish sort of way Why the time for graduation Is called Commencement day. To me it seemed just backwards, 'Cause Commencement means begin But now I see where they were right, A Senior has just started in. No! He hasn't even started yet, After eighteen years or so, He just now has received the ball. It's first down, ten to go. Yes! It's first and ten to go, boys. You've got to crash that line. You can't afford a fumble and You must not miss the sign. The goal's a long way off, boys, And the opponents' line is strong, But if you're in there fightin', You're bound to get along. And now it's up to you, boys, Remember before you begin. That there's only one tackler can down you And that's yourself-so get out there and win. --Marion Boyd.
