incerity, friendliness and interest have made all contacts with our counselors both helpful and happy. Of the 77 members of North's faculty, the majority hold the Master of Arts degree, and many have secured their Doctor's degree. Many have studied abroad. Scholarship, character, professional ability and a spirit of service are the major qualities possessed by each instructor. P. T. A. Of course when mothers and members of the faculty get together we simply cannot count on the turn the conversation may take. In spite of our suggesting that such delicate subjects as homework and grades be avoided, they do creep into the discussion now and then. However, the friendship which exists between Mothers and the teachers of North means more ef- ficient guidance at home where counseling no doubt had its j origin. CLAss ADVISERS Counseling is a happy and help- ful activity only when it is com- bined with knowledge and personal interest. Such has been typical of the special advisers at North. Is there any doubt that choosing one's program according to future plans for career, or home life is a pleasant activity under the guidance of Bliss Duer? Lenore Anderson and Evelyn Gero check the courses A g A necessary for college entrance. BIG SISTERS Arrival at North means new friends and very special attention until the halls cease looking so long, the doors so numberless, and the faculty so formidable. Big Sisters Ann Swanson, June Novak, Elvic Carlson, Ruth Scouler, and Char- lene Clarke take their charges Billie Grenfield, Catherine Saia, Doris Johnson, lylargaret Rodic, and Yvonne Dale outside for a mom- ent of relaxation. 20

FERN DOROTHY MITCHELL It gives one strength to know that help is near No matter what the task. It fades away If someone's there to smile encouragement. So girls of North have tried the harder paths And tasted joys they never knew before Because your help made goals seem ever near. 19

ducation became a matter of sharing the joy of creative expression and knowl- edge with our teachers and counselors. Now we realize that too few of us ever stopped to consider the extra hours of work and thought given us to encourage our particular abilities. These teachers, counselors, and advisers have set our feet on the right path, guided us around the bumps in the road and kept our eyes on the horizon ahead. HONIERKTOB-I CIOUNSELOR ii' Living a few moments each day with a friendly and sympathetic homeroom teacher, such as Miss fi lklary Frost, the good and the bad of us received impartial and valu- able advice concerning the 'Anow' , and the hereafter. Each home- room teacher is acquainted with the abilities, interests, progress, and plans of the students under his or her care and gives individual atten- tion in advising for the future. HEALTH Health of every student is both checked and protected by school doctors and nurses who examine mouth, throat, and feet. Tests of eyes, ears, heart, lungs and posture are made. Vaccination is required of all students and is given by the school doctor if desired. llfliss Goetz who makes these tests a pleasure tells Betty Maiden she lacks jaw relaxation! OFFICE FORCE Alack and alas! How familiar is this scene! lvlany an anxious moment we spent wondering if an excuse for an absence or a tardiness would pass the specially trained ear and eye of Mrs. Lee or lVIrs. Oslar. Absence due to a broken leg. Trust this will not happen again soon. Yours truly, is on record among the few really original ex- cuses given. 21 T
