Principal John P. Rodkey Now that it has ended . . . The end of the year has come at last! With it have come the- joys of anticipation for a sum mer of fun! Also has come the feeling of something worthwhile accomplished ... or a feeling of something left undone. To you who are leaving our family circle, we send our best wishes for many years of hap- piness as you assume the responsibilities of greater tasks, whether they be college, vocational training, employment, or family. It was pleasant to have known you these short years. Your absence will be keenly felt. To you who remain, we anticipate your conscientious effort based upon a realization of the good things your community and your school desire for you. Before we forget the accomplishments or frustrations of the past year, perhaps we should look again at the goals we have set for the future, goals which demand planning and prepara- tion, that require our best effort, and goals that may change with new interests gained from experiences and learning. One of the basic facts of growth is this: THERE IS NO PROG- RESS VVTTH UT EVALUATION. We express our deepest thanks for your co-operation and spirit during 1959-1960. You are proving that you are equal to the task of responsibility so vital to our country ' s n eed. May your summer be most enjoyable, and may it awaken in you new challenges for the future ! 10

The close of another successful year brings an awareness of lost or found oppor- tunities. We can retrace our steps in space but not in time. We can move quickly or slowly, or not at all if we wish, but no one can regulate the flow of time. Time rolls on at the same even, uncontrollable rate for all of us. This 1960 Tamarack carries a storj mark- ing the beginning of the second half of a century of progress for North Central High School. It has been a good year, one filled with accomplishments of which we are proud. Time marches on, and for you who grad- uate, college is an opportunity ahead, llahit simplifies the movements required to achieve given results, makes them more accurate and diminishes fatigue. There is no habit more important lo the college student than that of budgeting his resources. Time is one of your greatest resources. May VOU always be proud of your achievements. Superintendent of Schools Mr. William C. Sorenson, Superintendent of Schools.

The main duty of the Dean of Boys and the Dean of Girls is to encourage boys and girls to help themselves. This arduous task extends deeply into the areas of personal, vocational and educational problems. Maintaining a job of great responsibility, the vice-principal is the executive officer of the school. He is responsible to the principal lor the smooth and efficient operation of the school, lor assisting the staff in mailers of student control and procedures, and for evaluation of permanent records of candi- dates graduation.
