The place that we now proudly hold Has been held in days of old By valiant souls, who but last night Became alumni as was their right. They too have made their lives sublime, Their footprints arc found on the sands of time, Now we alone do hold the field, And to no rival will we yield The pride and glory that is our due. But at our standards we’ll be true. Purple and white have had their day— All things are subject to decay— But histories e’er shall love to tell, And daisies print in every dell, The story of the “Gold and White That now doth shine in purest light. Francks Ford. CLASS SONG Tune—“John Brown's Body. I. Today we are a happy crowd of High-School boys and girls. Tomorrow we go out to meet the problems of the world. But we will never flinch, and we will tell the reason why— We were trained at North Side High. Chorus: Yes—we’ll meet the questions squarely: Yes—we’ll fight the battles fairly ; Yes—we’ll make decisions carefully. For we come from Old North High. II. We know our paths thru life will not be strewn with roses gay. That thorns will often pierce our hearts, as we go on our way. But we'll go bravely on, and we will keep our spirits high— For we come from Old North High. Chorus: III. We stand for truth and honor, of the very highest grade, For they are glories which, tho time may pass, will never fade— And we are bound to win success, if we stand for the right— So, Hurrah for North Side High! Chorus: 17 Flossie Patch.

A VIEW POINT Seniors at last, in pomp and pride, To rule supreme, this school to guide We enter now this last short term With flowery visions high and firm. Three weary years and more have passed But we have reached the goal at last, Our ship of state triumphant sails On tranquil waters, free from gales. A freshman’s woes were once our own, Full trivial now those woes have grown, We were then known for humbleness, Our virtues then we'd ne'er profess: But looked with awe and reverence due Upon the seniors—juniors too. Behold we sophomores coming next, With fervor do we con our text. Ambitions high, with hope elate. We win new laurels in debate. And now in joy and pride full high We borrow Caesar's ancient cry. And from the top of neighboring mound, “Veni-vidi-vici loudly sound. Juniors then in gayest round Of social duties, we are found. A Junior Ball falls to our share. Our joys are quite beyond compare. In passing let us add that this. In truth, it will not come amiss, Our strong endeavor, thru the year, Is to let no studies interfere In any way with our education, 'Pis worthy, quite, of commendation. But all those trival joys are sped. Our lesser glories long have fled, We now are seniors, charmed name! 'Tis linked fore'er with greatest fame, Our honor now the stars unfurl— 'Pis fixed beside Belinda's curl. And now a roseate vista lies In lofty grandeur before our eyes, We lead no more a middle flight That hovers near the shades of night. But at the foot of Olympian mount Our praise is sung at the Muses’ fount. 16
