Each previous publication contained news concerning the entire school. But in this publication, merely those events, directly or indirectly relative to the graduating class are fea- tured, and consequently the title, Senior Class Book is appropriate. All organizations desirous of publicity are not assessed for space, but they are required to make payment only for the cost of the pictures and cuts. Only members of the graduating class in the pic- tures are given written publicity. We only hope that these changes will be ac- cepted by the students of North Central with satis- faction. We have done our utmost to make this book with these changes a successful endeavor. TO THE FRESHMEN |OU freshmen are probably realizing by this time that as simple as high school life pre- sumably is, there are a great many dif- ficulties and problems that must be met. To en- courage you a bit we will give you some inside in- formation and tell you, that as your high school life continues, these difficulties and problems will increase both in size and in number. But these are the very things that will make you worthy representatives of North Central. That is, of course, if you attack these difficulties with the right spirit. In conquering seemingly insignificant problems, you are making a bigger and broader man of yourself and are making yourself equal to the task of overcoming some of the harder prob- lems that will come in your senior year. Do you know that one of the most peculiar things in all high school life is the fact that it is almost impossible to find boys and girls who are capable of taking in hand and carrying projects to a successful close? This is particularly so with the Graduating Class. If more of the freshmen would go through the problems in the road, instead of over or around them, the school would have an overflow of capable students but, as it is, there are so very few who have made a practice of tackling their problems with the right spirit that there is a crying need of leaders — for it is the capable who stand out as leaders. Others may exist for a brief time, but their short-comings will soon be made evident, and the more capable ones will take their places. We, as seniors, know this to be true be- cause we have found it so throughout our high school careers.
