In presenting this book, we hope that the Northern Light will hereafter be a yearly publication, and that later staffs will be able to produce better books through the cooperation of the student body. We, the Senior and Junior Classes of 1926-- 1927, have strived to make this book a success, and we hope that it will be cher- ished by everyone as a link connecting the dear old school days with the days of harder work, where the lessons taught us in school will come into full use. The staff desires to express its appreciation of the interest and enthusiasm shown by the student body and alumni, in their willingness and promptness in handing in usable material for the annual. Wlithout such an interest' on the part of the school and its graduates the efforts of a staff would be useless. -LILLY STRAND, Editor-in-Chief. fVIight of the roaring boiler, Force of the engine's thrust Strength of the sweating toiler, Greatly in these we trust Hut hack of them stands the Schemer The thinker who drives things through, Bach of the Joh-the Dreamer TVho's making the dream come true ,IJ Six
