GILBERT V. WALMSLEY, PRINCIPAL Once again I have been given the privilege of addressing the student body of North High School from the pages of our outstanding yearbook. Here we are approaching Thanksgiving vacation and already this year has brought many successes for North and her students. Such as: conference championship in football and an invitation to the state football tournament. We have presented a delightful Homecoming play and have crowned a new King and Queen. It goes on and on. The moments of happiness, achievement and recognition come one upon the other and fill my thoughts with fond memories of students and events. I remain deeply impressed by the quality of people that make up this student body and faculty. I only wish everyone could know you as I know you. You have gained my deepest respect and admiration. Let’s keep it together for tomorrow. Mr. Walmsley 21
