Northern High School - Viking Yearbook (Detroit, MI)

residenvs essage That hour which we have looked forward to with such eagerness has finally come. VVe, the members of the class of June, 1943, are about to be graduated. For the past three years we have been fellow-students, divided by different opportunities and different ambitions, united by a bond of loyalty to our school. We have looked forward to this day since we first entered Northern, but, now that it has come, we find a certain sadness at leaving and an unwillingness to say goodbye. During our years at Northern we have been welded together by common aims and common ideals. The students who have conscientiously given their best efforts to their studies have laid a foundation of both knowledge and character upon which they may safely build. The athletes who, in the face of defeat, have given their last ounce of energy for the Red and Blue have caught the spirit of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice which will do much to hold them steadfast in the battle of life. Our instructors have wisely and patiently given us the benefits of their knowledge and experience. They have taught us a great deal not found in text books, lessons which we shall never forget. Perhaps the most cherished feature of our high school life is the warm glow of friendship which has brightened each day. These strong, happy friendships which we have formed at Northern will always be cherished. We shall never forget this most profitable period of our lives, for it has been one of great happiness. In the future we will enjoy recalling our friends, our good times, and our successful efforts at Northern. Graduates, wherever you may happen to be or whatever you may do, Cod bless you!
