WILLARD HARTZELI. Pnufident MARK GILKISON Vice-Prefidfnt MARIE GALLAGHER Secretary DAN GANN Trfamrer Senior Class ITTLE Dorothy of HThe Wiz- ard of Ozy' struggled unceas- ingly toward her goal, the Emerald City. Her struggle was just the plot of a fairy story, and the reaching of her goal just the cause of little sighs of satisfaction from tiny Oz readers. Such was the fairy tale. Now four hundred Dorothys, who have striven unfalteringly for three years past toward a beacon shining clear in the distance, are standing with wide-eyed wonder, looking up at the glowing goal they have at- tained. They are now bathing in its welcoming light, the light of gradua- tion. Such is the tale of reality. VVith all their poignant memories and with characters that have been enhanced and strengthened by the ideals North High has implanted in- them, the seniors of the class of 1931 are going out into the world confident that the sterling qualities that have enabled them to attain the graduation beacon will give them the power to reach newer and higher goals. And' as they turn their footsteps upward, they cast behind glances weighted' with grief at parting. With steps turned ever forward, they yet pause long enough to thank their principal and the teachers who have had no small share in casting the molds of their characters. 17
