rx qv S Ave Atque Vale LL good things must come to an end, it is said. Even as our hero Aeneas had to leave his friend Acestes on the Sicilian shores and set out for lands and seas un- explored, so we seniors are leaving our high school days behind us as we set out for the unknown and uncharted seas of life. We have had smooth sailing in our Viking ship. YVith our faculty to guide us as the gods of olden days guided mere mortals, and our past experiences to fall back upon in case of squalls, we have managed to weather all kinds of difficulties in the realms of knowledge, but now we are leaving, and our high school life is coming to its close. It gives us not a little pang that no more shall we have occasion to romp with the scrubs on registration day, not again to attend classes in the dear old zoo , not again to shine in sophomore world history classes, not again to read in class those weird lines of lWacbeth's witches, not again to offer advice to the office or exchange brilliant repartee with our appreciative profs, and think of it-not again to have the joyful task of editing another annual or North Star. VVe can sympathize rightly with Aeneas, mixer homo, as he tore himself from his dear friends and adopted land, for if it tears at our very heartstrings to think of leaving now, what ever shall we do on commencement day? If we amount to anything in the world we are about to conquer, if we carry on the spirit of prevailing over difficulties as we have learned to do here, if we can do our work in our chosen line well, whether it be as an honest tradesman, an accurate typist, or a useful home maker, we shall feel that it was owing notia little to the training here received, and know that it was worthwhile. The fall of 1922 marked the historical entrance of an entirely new and unusual group of scrubs with aims as high as our greenness was apparent. We who managed to survive the difficulties of getting acquainted found our ranks swelled the next year by an enterprising group of Junior High pupils. Rival schools' forgot their differences and soon became an important indistinguishable addition. The Junior year found the ranks diminished, but recorded a series of events-for the class organized and decided on the class motto and Hower and a junior prom. As to this year, well there are so many 'events that they require this whole book to chronicle them. As Aeneas had to build his city that lay before him, so we all, especially the seniors, have established in our high school years a firm foundation that shall endure as we breast those unknown seas. And again, as Aeneas had to show for his efforts at last a fine growing city, so we seniors are to have a piece of parchment that we shall treasure in the years to come as those Romans have treasured the legends of Aeneas throughout the ages. V So we say to you, O North, and the loyal 'fAchates that we are leaving- In freta dum fluvii current, dum montibus umbrae Lustrabunt convexa, polus dum sidera pascet, Semper honos nomenque tuum laudesque manebunt Quae me cumque vocant terrae. 19 The Viking
