And in the eyes of each we see the wonder and miracle of being returned to this place, for we have our own peculiar pride in our town, and we pay homage to those who could not return to it. Bzzt this is 1948. Has the srnolze stopped rolling, have the wheels faltered, have our builders relaxed? No-because in 1948, the history of our city has, as yet, only lvegun to he written. From our town, Northtown, has come those things worthwhile in all things, for here we find wheat and inills and factories, trains and schools and churches, the friend- liness of a small town, the industry of a thriving metropolis.

There she has huilt the foundation for good citizenship in the cominunity, America, anal the worlel. In our school there is a course in literally every fielil to which a youth might wan: to turn for fame and fortune. Regula- tion husiness courses as well as the speech, journalisnz, dll!! music flepartlnents all lenrl thenzselves to the coinplex pattern of life in our town. Perhaps the uzost valuable of all these, however, is the association of one student with another, for therein our fu- ture citizens gain training and experience in living with their fellow-men and huilfl- ing sirle hy siile for the future of North Kansas City.
