The INGOT-1974 What is an ingot? It is: 1 A mass of metal shaped for convenience in storage or transportation. 2. A casting mold for metal. (Middle English, ingot, mass of metal, Something poured into (the mold) ; in, i n + Old English gotin, past participle of aeotan to pour, cast in Metal.) This is an ingot as defined in the dictionary. To us at Granite City High School North the term. Ingot, has a similar meaning. Our yearbook is an Ingot, in the sense that the raw ore of school activities is taken by the yearbook staff and processed, so as to make North ' s operation intelligible to the reader. Envision then, a smelting operation, whereby the activities of the administra- tion, faculty, student body, and other personnel, are analyzed, and finally formed into a convenient shape for reference and future storage. The In got is a casting of the educational experience at North, fired by the energies of the young men and women who will soon become the mature steel of our society- steel of the finest temper and quality!
