Tre POLARIS HISTORY G75-Q HERE has always been some E? doubt among the students at North High School as to just what the word Polaris really means, that is, where it origin- ated, and how it came to be applied as the title of our school paper. The following may give the required information: 596' In the northern part of the heavens is a great star. To the careless observer, it is only one of many millions. But let its rays shine upon the dark way of the weary traveler and it shows him many unseerfobjects. It is his guid- ing light. It is the Polar Star. V ,96 In Columbus is a great school. Many people look into the student life of this school and see there only the constant devotion to books and learning. But let some ray of familiarity shine upon this student life and it reveals many un- seen incidents. These are the things, humorous and serious, of this, our school life. The light that helps to show these is our Polaris.

FOREWORD The saying of the wise men does not apply to this book, for of the making of this book there is an end. The end of the making has come. What it is we well know. NVhat the end of the hook will be We cannot tell. That remains with you. In the making of this book we have spent many hours- we have worked at it and we have played. We have tried not to play when we have Worked, nor to Work when We played. VVe have all worked together-editor, staff and board. We have tried to share each other 's burdens that each one 's load might be as light as possible. In so doing, we have learned to know each other and our class very well. For this privilege we .are grateful. VVe have tried to make this book a book of the North High School of 1916. It does not portray the North High of 1915 nor of 1917. To the underelassmen it represents but the passing of another mile stone. lVhat lies beyond their books Time shall record. To the seniors it represents the comple- tion of a journey. As its pages run on, the train of High School Life is nearing its destination. As the last leaf is turned the hell is sounding. Close the covers. The class of 1916 has finished.
