SENIOR CLASS BOOK 9 If we could but convince you freshmen of the benefits to be derived from meeting your difficul- ties more than half way and then absolutely con- quering them, we would feel that our work in North Central had been worthily done and that we had left a real live memorial. It is from our own experiences within the walls of old North Central that we draw our wisdom, as meagre as it may seem to you. The benefit we have derived from meeting the same difficulties that you will meet — and conquering them, we hope, will help us in our future ventures both in college and in business life, for we have learned, to some extent at least, of the benefits to be de- rived from encountering our difficulties and com- ing out victoriously, and we sincerely trust that you freshmen will profit by our experiences. — H. G. SENIOR HONOR LETTERS HE honor letter emblem conferred by the school, either for conspicuous work in out- side activities, exclusive of athletics, or for scholastic attainments, was awarded to fourteen members of the class of January, 1920, by Prin- cipal A. H. Benefiel on commencement night. This letter is different from letters given for ath- letic achievements, and also the recipients must have held a creditable scholastic standing. Those who received the distinctive letters are: Oscar Zabel, for debating and leadership among the boys; Bertha Keller, for leadership among the girls; Leone Webber, for public speaking and dramatic art; Albert Haeseler, for efficient work in the music department; Bernice Jones, for exceptional work in the social service department; and Caris Sharp, for conspicuous activity in the entertainment department of the Girls ' League. Students who received awards for scholastic at- tainments, each averaging a grade of ninety or bet- ter in their subjects during the entire school period are: Esther Anderson, Crystal Reeves, Bernice Jones, Dorothy Olmsted, Violet Hess, Norma Shields, and Mabel Darr. Bernice Jones has the distinction of having her name on both lists. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The acceptance of social responsibility on the part of the students is the most important element in education for citizenship. Efficient organization, tactful faculty direction, and vigorous school lead- ership fail to secure results, either in individual or social benefit, unless the mass of the students in- terested accept the personal responsibilities of co- operation. He who has learned that either mem- bership or office-holding involves not only honor, but likewise duty, is far on his way toward the mastery of the first principle of democratic citi- zenship.
