FOREWCRD . . . From the distant heavens comes the powerful voice of the huge silvery eagle-and suddenly without a word of warning it bursts out of the soft, billowy clouds-and as if on the wings of mercury-the silver flame speeds earthward. This goddess from the sky is man's most prized gift to trans- portation-the airplane. Through the murky fog or across the sun-beamed skies the in- vincible plane goes on. Although its steps have been slow and falter- ing its huge strides toward perfection are rapidly approaching. Airplanes have reached both Poles and have traversed vast ex- panses of mountain and jungle bringing back photographs of scenes never before viewed by human eye. . . . Slowly on the wing of the soft rushing breeze the great ship lifts upward as quickly as it descended and becomes lost in the golden sea of the setting sun. DEDICATION The prospect of flying has fascinated men since the ancient days of Icarus, who according to legend flew so near the sun that the wax fastenings of his wings melted and he dropped into the sea. The men of today who pilot our great ships are of the highest caliber, for they are ever mindful of the great traditions which they must uphold. A loyal spirit, a fervent heart and dauntless courage are the governing factors to be found in all the men. Living such courageous and noble lives they have set a definite precedent which all eager-minded youths of today admire and respect. Both the aviators and the average high school youth have much in commonfboth are striving for a successful take off, a glorious trip and finally a triumphant landing. We of North High dedicate this Yearbook to these courageous and noble aviators who are such an influence to the air-minded youths of today. 7
