To meet with joy each new demand. 'l o succeed’s been our endeavor. When we came here first as freshies. We were filled with nameless fear; For the years that lay before us Seemed empty quite of cheer. But our four years now are ended. And we’re full of learned lore. Our ideas have all been mended. nd we’ve had our fun galore! But we. like all who’ve gone before. Must say farewell to good old North. ()ur hands reluctant close the door.

On Leaving North High When we of this A Senior class confess. Rejoice we do but yet we also grieve. That we from North High had to take our leave. (io on. but always know that now we miss North High with all its comfort and sweet bliss Of learning; in return, rewards receive. According as our brilliance did relieve. Bright thoughts that often struck and fell amiss. Rejoice we do that now we can relate The worth and virtues of the new North High.

And each with t'other bravely vied. “Oh, 1 am It! each loudly cried. Thus spoke the fusser. the grind, and bore. The beauty fair, and many more: The Fusser. “A fusser I. a man of money. I have a tongue as sweet as honey. 1 spend my wealth on costly flowers Which may adorn fair ladies' bowers. ’ The Grind. “Oh. 1 am a grind of the very worst kind. And all my joys are joys of the mind. My hope, to expound in my voice stentorian The farewell address of the valedictorian. The Bore. “1 am most learned in ways of debate; Sec all new plays, read all books that are ’late.' Though stupid folk tell you that 1 am a bore. Now don't run away I can tell you yet more.” The Beauty. I know 1 am pretty, in fact am a beauty— For all who have seen me have said. 'What a C’utie.' 1 have shiny gold hair and a lovely blue glance. Oh! deep are my dimples, and how 1 can dance! Epilogue. 'Mong those who viewed .this motley tribe. There was of course the Polaris scribe, With neither wit. nor brains, nor beauty.

Here and there a tall, broad-shouldered fellow towered above his comrades, and it could easily be seen that the atheletes were very numerous. Now and then a studious appearing boy or girl could be seen, already deep in the perusal of a text-book. These were to be the honor students of the class. The years rolled swiftly by. The class that had gained no notoriety as freshmen were looked up to as sophomores because of their rejuvenation during the second year. They began to do things and to develop school leaders. Twas then that the honor roll increased and then that the atheletes stepped out. In basketball the sophomores of of 1913 finished second. In football they had representatives, the most noted being Oscar Begin. On the honor roll an average of ten students could he found every month. On the Spectator staff were numerous representatives, and on the baseball team there was also a sophomore. The junior year showed still further progress. The honor roll increased to an average of twelve. Two members of the debate team were Jan. ’16. Three members of the football team were of our class, and three won places on the baseball team. The Spectator’s main offices, editor-in-chief and business manager, were held by members of the class. Whenever anyone responsible was wanted I’rof. Hobbs asked the class of Jan. '16 for that person, and he was produced, whatever the emergency might be. Social affairs were decided successes, and the junior ball engineered by that class was the most successful in years. Success, that’s the word, and that’s what the Class of January '16 has been in every branch of school life. Success in athletics, success in literary work, success in social life, and above all. success in that necessary part of school life, class spirit, has been theirs, and the example they have set for following classes is high indeed.

He was in love with Algebra, but, sad to relate, Algebra despised Freshie. To further complicate the situation, the lovely divine nymph, Minus, was in love with Freshie. She pursued him thruout the jungle of the first school year, but the youth said, ‘‘Get thee hence, I love thee not, therefore pursue me not.” Because Algebra despised him he pursued her thru the first half of the second year. At this juncture, the mysterious high-born Tutor comes on the scene. She found the youth sleeping and put the rare drug, a combination of Interest and Hard Work, into his head. On awakening, he espys Minus and with endearing terms makes love. She, sweet lady, accepts his hand and thus they came to a happy agreement by which he still remains the friend of Algebra and he became the better half of Minus. NATHAN HARRIS, A Junior. How Juniors Spend the Evening He saunters down the avenue to see his fair coquette. The box of bon-bons ’neath his arm has plunged him into debt. Then up her father’s steps he jaunts as frisky as could Ik . The fair one greets him as she should; she’s dressed bewitchingly. They play some music, make some fudge and wait till that is cool. Next they hold the porch swing down—which is the usual rule. The hours come, the hours go along Dad Time’s old path. Four minuses in school next day will prove the aftermath. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 69 A Sophmore’s Delimma Muriel Fraser, Sophmore. Alas, alas, alas, I know not what to write, And heaven only knows. I’m in an awful plight. For every day Miss Lect does shake her head and say, “We surely must have something for that magazine today.” At first I thought of Ruth, of Ethel, and of Rae, But never any funny thing did any of them say. And then my thoughts are turned to boys which are by far more dear. But every day of L. II. M. does everybody hear. And why should I grow sad at heart and lose my future joy By telling of my lovesick thoughts about a certain boy? And so I fear it's useless for me to try to write The only thing 1 know of is for me to say, Good Night.” The Reason My friend Bill Jones has never been. To classes late since Lord knows when .

Now. when was Richard I. king of England? What is it you said, Mr. Johnson? Middle ages? Quite right: a very good guess. This class does not keep to the subject.

I FRESHMAN SSI fluTn MAOSon 1913 A Freshman I knew him for a Freshman, Ily signs that never fail: His coat was rough and rather worn. His cheeks were thin and pale, A lad who had his way to make, With little time to play. I knew him for a Freshman, By certain signs today. 1 Ie thinks of you before himself; He serves you if he can. For in whatever company. The manners make the man. At school and home 'tis all the same ; The manner tells the tale. And I discern this Freshman, The signs will never fail. —Laurene Mahon, a Freshman. The Freshie’s Song I am a little Freshie, 1 think myself quite great. For I am never, never absent, And I am never late. I always do my lessons, But I never do them right. And when the teacher tells me so, I’d like to have a fight.

Chorus: It’s a long way to Senior classes, It’s a hard road to tread; It's a long way to graduation, Put diploma’s there ’tis said! Welcome Sophs and Juniors, We’ll soon be with you. It’s a long, long way to Senior classes, Hut we’ll get there, too! O Where, O Where? () where, O where can that answer be To that question hard in history?

Why don't you know the famous rule? “You’ll find them here at North High School.” My Friend 1 once had a friend, just full of glee, A happy-go-lucky fellow was he. A brother he was in many a way. He made himself useful every day. If my Latin proved too hard to do, I called on him and lie helped me right through. If algebra bothered and two equalled one, It seemed he could do what couldn’t be done. Hut good things always have an end. And so, of course, I lost my friend. He moved away to some other place And now, very seldom I see his face. His new neighbors all like him very well, And that makes matters worse, 1 can tell. ’Cause if they didn’t lie might come back. Hut now his excuse is, “Too much trouble to pack.” Amy Moebus. 75 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL North High Lesson There! little Freshie; don’t cry!

LADI ICS and Gentlemen! Before we start this tour of so strange and bizarre a land i must request two things. First, leave all hats with the gentlemanly usher, and second, throw your gum in the waste basket. Proceed to fare forth. Pause a moment, ladies, while the gentlemen of the party perform the inevitable comedy rites about Joan of Arc. All right. Any gentleman who has not linked his arm in hers? Ah, one more gentleman who has not attempted to open her mail pouch. Very well; proceed. Attention all. Remove shoes, coats and all noisy apparel as you enter A room. The least disturbance will leave the Gates ajar. What's that? A piece of chalk struck you? That is from Battery G. It indicates that you are sitting on a desk. ()ut the rear door please, ladies and gentlemen. Walk swiftly here, good people, for you are in 1! room. These crowds, writing madly upon the boards, are those who have missed declensions and verbs during the day’s agitation. This is the noon shift now working. The last shift starts at midnight. This way out. Before we ascend, comrades, let us descend. Below are the regions of food. Yes. this is where the animals feed. This is the boys line where they will line up in a jiffy. The first bell sounded a moment ago. The bell! What’s that roar? That is the approaching roar of many hungered students. Hi! Jump the rail. This way. Xo, no. Over here! Quick, jump, before it's too late. Jump! Ah! Safe at last. Where you just stood there is now a raging flood. Quick, Mrs. Smith, a North High bean. The poor fellow has fainted. Recovered? Very well. Move on. Yes. this is the Botany plant. Here we raise flowers, radishes, beans, peas and the deuce. Those roars? Yes, the boys’ gym. Double doors protect strangers from violence. The girls’ gym (we shall pass it presently) is much more quiet. Two flights up, ladies and gentlemen, and shall we step into the balcony of our auditorium? Xo. the curtains arc real velvet. Yes, the seats are nailed down. Wait until we visit Room I. One whiff is sufficient memento. No, the man down on the stage is not angry. He is merely leading the chorus. If they fail. rcMorse is their lot. Out the other door please. Yes, madam, this is where the commercial slaves are tethered. Xo sir, only seven hours for shorthand. Xo, the girls don’t really want the work but who ever saw a stenographer unmarried after two years? Around the corner, please. L’se extreme caution, ladies and gentlemen. If you find anything adhering t  your feet, pluck them off carefully. They may be freshmen. Yes sir. yes sir. nine rooms full. Yes. lady. This is where the artists arc drawn together. Be very easy on the easels. They are new and much prized. Yes, the drawing must have been in charcoal. I’m sorry but I think it will wash out. Yes’m. The tour is over ladies and gentlemen. These arc the main points of interest; another time we may show you more. There arc three ways of getting down, by waiting for the elevator till they put one in, by walking down the stairs or by falling out the window. Speed, comfort or safety; take your choice. I thank you one and all for your kind attention. Farewell. north high school 79 Awful Moments 1. When all the folks at your lunch table, but you. are } irls. 2.

A Tale of Woe from 352 My tale of woe. ah. my tale of woe. Is the saddest thing that one can know: A slave am I oi both weak and strong. A plaything of all. pounded all day long. When my poor aching carriage refuses to go. They drown me with oil at one fell throw. Next comes a brush to make my type clean. Then comes a rag, having better days seen. When terrible speed tests come spinning along. That is the time I must sing my song; But the way I am pounded and the words that arc used, Tis little wonder, I feel quite abused. The cutting of stencils just makes me feel blue. For always they leave me all sticky with glue. Then an alcohol bath 1 think rather tough. The way they apply it. believe it’s no bluff. But the saddest thing I have to relate. Is the way I am left, alone to my fate: In the rush and the madness of getting off early. They forget my cover, which makes me quite surly. But my innings do come, when on the next day. Fach student neglectful this price he must pay: As janitor’s chief, he scrubs spots from the floors And cleans all machines between the two doors. lie must straighten the case, and pick up the paper Until the next victim is caught in the caper: But here’s an end to my tale of woe.

No mat-' ter how (lull the season, nature in itself is beautiful the year around. In spring, alter a long cold winter, a new life is given to vegetation and a new ambition is kindled in people. I bis outcome of ambition is the effect that spring has upon man. The summer is usually the recreation period of the year. Nature, in summer, is as beautiful as any season in the year and this beauty has its effect upon man in that it gives him rest and new life to prepare for the long winter. The autumn of the year is the period when everything dies, but the beauty to the eye that it affords is inspiring in itself. These seasons may be compared to the stages in a man’s life. In youth, his ambitions are kindled as vegetation i given new life in the spring of the year. In his middle life, his ambitions are usually realized. In the autumn of his life, his ambitions having been realized, lie has time to let business die and rest. The true enjoyment in a man's life comes in the winter of his life, or old age; the period when he is able to have mental rest. Everybody has beauty in his nature either in one or the Other. ( f course, “everyone has faults.” but when the true nature of the person is found out. there is usually something beautiful found in it too. Not many people consider how much the world depends on nature. If they stop to think, they will find out that real character is formed by it and that nature develops the mind. There is true merit, not in being, but in becoming, and nature's effect upon man is what helps us to become what we will. The only way a child can be taught is through nature. Some people say a child has no reasoning power. Mis only means of education is through nature’s beauty. The recreation a child gets out of doors will naturally develop his intellect as well as his body. His physique is developed through the exercise that nature affords. Nothing will do a child more good than sunshine and a plenty of fresh air. Nature only can give this. In youth, nature start a passion for beauty in a person just as spring starts life in vegetation in preparation for summer. Nature prepares youth for middle age as it prepares spring for summer. Nature develops the youth in a physical way also but the greatest effect in youth is the realization of beauty. This realization of beauty will naturally be followed by inspiration and ambition for things that will be just as beautiful in themselves as nature. The effect that nature has upon man in middle age is purely mental. The recreative period in a person’s life is usually over in middle age. As summer is the height of the season’s beauty, so the end of middle age is the climax in man’s life when his 82 THE POLARIS. 1915 ambitions are realized. This is the period in man’s life when his cares are most numerous and if he didn’t have nature to lean on. his cares would destroy him. So it is seen the effect in middle age is an aid that is indispensable. Nature, in old age, gives quietude to the soul. At this stage man has done the best in life he ever will do. This period may be compared to the fall and winter. Man is willing to slacken and realizes that the younger generation is going to proceed and rule as spring precedes fall and rules it. Still, if this tranquillity of the soul did not come, it would destroy the beauty of everything in man’s nature. The aid nature gives medicinally is the effect that the people are realizing more every day of the year. Many diseases of man now are helped only by nature. A good example of this is that terrible disease that is most feared by people now; that of tuberculosis. The only recognized help to this is fresh air and sunshine. There are vital processes that go on only in the light. It is a chemical necessity in the body. The greater part of the medicines used for curing other diseases are made from nature’s herbs. How often we see a little child who looks pale and sickly and remark that what he needs is a little fresh air. How often people are told by doctors that they aren’t getting enough sunshine. W hat would the world do without nature’s beauty and sunshine for recreation from business or household cares? It is then plainly seen that nature’s medicinal help is essential to the welfare of the world. Nature’s effect that gives man the opportunity to live is that which affords commercial, industrial and agricultural possibilities. The flour industry would be hard to carry on without water power. The river helps the lumber industry by carrying logs. This water power is one of nature’s great facilities. The mines that nature has given to the world give opportunity for another great industry. The agricultural facilities that nature gives are those that furnish man’s subsistence. Nature’s ground furnishes fertility for the common necessities of life; principally bread. People depend upon nature for their existence but just as surely we depend upon nature for beauty. Life would be a monotony without it. Man greatly appreciates nature. This is shown by his development oi natural facilities. W'ordsworth thought that man had not done enough in appreciation of nature. This is shown in a part of one of his poems: “To her fair works did Nature link The human save that through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.” If this belief from heaven be sent. If such be Nature’s holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?” This is one of the earliest and most definite expressions of Wordsworth’s faith in the essential oneness of man and nature. It is the poets and artists who really appreciate nature. They use nature as it is and do not try to improve it by man’s implements. It is the artist and the poet who really see the beauty of nature and who 83 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL tell the world about it, each in his own way. It is the artist who brings the beauty of nature to the eyes of the world, as nature really is. It is nature whom they depend upon and it is nature to whom we all go in time of trouble. “When thoughts Of the last bitter hour come like a blight, Over thy spirit, and sad images Of stern agony, and shroud, and pall. And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;— Go forth, under the open sky, and list To Nature’s teachings.” HARRIET STROUTS. Why Lilies of the Valley Droop Their Heads Junior Prize MANY, many years ago, long before human boys and girls played about on Mother Earth, there was another race in existence, the race to which the fairies. gnomes, sprites, elves, and water-babies belonged. They were a gay. merry little people and in their golden age did not even have to repair the ravages of humans, for there were no humans to break and tear things up. and everything grew for the love of growing, knowing, or rather not knowing, that they would be manufactured into cloth or paper or furniture at the best time of life. Now at this lovely time the fairies weren’t very well used to this earth. They had come from Fairy Planet, of course. They were searching all over to find nice cradles for their babies. They had tried cow-slips but they had no shelter from the sun and always grew in very sunny places, which was bad for the babies’ eyes. Anyway. the bright yellow offended the aesthetic fairy taste. They tried four-o’clocks but three babies had been killed, smothered to death when the flowers closed. The grown-up fairies were much troubled by such catastrophies until they at hist found a beautiful patch of tiny white lilies, growing in the shade, carefully holding their white cups up to the sky—just the thing for cradles. Warned by previous experiences the fairies exacted a solemn promise from each plant always to hold the cups up to the sky. The plants gave profuse promises of obedience. An old, old fairy croaked, “1 see a mosquito!” Now a mosquito is a sign of bad luck to fairies and they should have taken heed, but they were enchanted with their discovery ami soon hundreds of fairy babies were tucked to sleep in the lily cups and the grown-up fairies all ran away to dance. That night the dew came, a sweet, fresh dew. Rain is drinking water for plants but dew is nectar. With one accord the lilies dropped their heads to sip it up—and dropped the babies! A sudden uproar, a faint sobbing of the few infants who survived the sudden shock, the horrified gasps of the lilies, the screams of bereaved parents who were returning from the dance—then, silence and the dreadful sentence pronounced bv the fairy king: “They shall never hold up their heads again! They have broken a solemn promise made to a fairy! Thev shall hang their heads forever and ever and ever!” FLORENCE MELLON. 84 THE POLAK1S, 1915 “ The First Strike Came Singing Across the Plate.” NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 85 The Jinx Sophmorc Prize C'jOMAS THOM HR was the sensation of the school baseball league, lie led j the league in fielding and batted above .300. But Comas, like all great players, had a jinx, and when the jinx showed up. Comas could do nothing hut hold down the bench. Comas' jinx was a peculiar one. so peculiar that you can hardly believe it. but Comas, who walked up Fremont to school, got so used to seeing a peculiar looking Ford go past that it it did not make its appearance Comas was at outs with every -bodv till he should again catch sight of said Ford. Oil the day which I have in mind. Comas had an engagement with an English teacher, so started to school a little early, but to his dismay, lie had to wait till the accustomed time for the Ford. He waited till five minutes past the daily hour and was about to go on to school wheb he remembered the consequences and waited. After waiting some time he heard a familiar sound—the warning bell. “Can't wait,” said Comas, and off he went on the run. In his haste to get to school before the tardy bell Comas turned his ankle and came limping into the room late. He had no more than seated himself when the teacher presented him with a note saving his Knglish was down and that it would be useless tor him to come out for baseball until he had made it up. At recess the school was buzzing with “Thomer is ineligible ’ and by recess lie had succeeded in registering two zeros and an incomplete. After much hubbub and running he succeeded in raising his mark, so made his way to the gymnasium to prepare to go out to practice. He walked into the gymnasium for a bench and while at one end of the gymnasium the janitor walked out and locked the door. Thomer tried all doors with the same result. Would he have to stay here till the fellows came in to dress? At last he heard a familiar sound—a track man who had finished his work. Comas called and told the boy outside of his plight. After much running and trying of keys. Thomer was released and hurried to the field. Practice that day was miserable. Thomer missed three easy chances and failed to register a hit. The coach and captain got together and talked the matter over, but no excuse could be thought of for Comas' sudden slump. On the next day. Comas missed his Ford again, and this day he told his friend of his predicament. That afternoon when the coach was informed, he decided to cure Comas once and for all. The game started with error. The first man up knocked a grounder straight at Comas, who booted the ball until it was too late to throw the man out at first. At last, three out. and Comas, who was “lead-off man for the home team, came to bat. The first ball came singing across the plate. Strike one, called the umpire. “Strike two,” came after a quick return. As the pitcher started winding up to throw the third strike. Comas heard a peculiar noise; nearer and nearer it came. What was it? He listened closely. Yes. that was it! Here it comes! Here it comes! He recognized that “putt-putt-putt. The ball was coming: he could not take his eyes oft it to look for his jinx, but he knew it was near, so stepping toward the ball, he hit it with all his strength—far over the head of the fielder. A three-base hit. When Comas, who stole home, walked through the bushes to catch a glimpse of his jinx, he stumbled onto the coach, who was seated in the bushes with two wooden paddles and a leather pillow. Comas was cured, and has never since been aff ected by the jinx. HOWARD STANCH FIELD, '17. 87 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL The Transformation of Percival Junior Prize ERCIVAL DENT HILTON was a “sissy. At least all the boys of his own age in the neighborhood said he was. It was not altogether his fault, because he had been reared by a doting mother, who was the (laughter of a clergyman, and her home education had taught her to look upon most boys as heathens, and she had reared her boy differently. She was also responsible for his name, which was a combination of names found in her own family. PercivaPs father was different, he was what would be termed “a good sport”; but, being a busy man, he left the training of his youthful heir to his wife. He did not agree with Mrs. Hilton as to what a boy should be, but he had no time to interfere. When Percival was ten years old, he received a visit from a cousin whom he had never seen before. This cousin was a boy of his own age, who was introduced to Percival as “Master William,” but who lost no time, when the boys were alone, in making known his preference for the title of “Bill.” The boys went out to play shortly after the arrival of “Bill,” and as they walked down the street. Bill spied a ball game in progress on a vacant lot. He proposed that they join in the game, but Percival demurred, saying that the boys were rough and called him “sissy” and he was afraid they would hurt him. Bill looked disgusted and asked him what he had hands and feet for, if not to fight with. He said, “No kid can call me ‘sissy’ and get away with it. When they call you names, why don’t you sail in and wallop ’em in the eye? You bet I would!” Percival was astonished to think that his cousin would actually fight, but he could not help admiring Bill’s spirit. Bill insisted that they go to the ball game, and finally Percival consented. Arrived at the ball game, Bill did not wait for an introduction to the players, or an invitation to join the game. He just went in and played ball, while Percival sat  ff to one side and looked timidly on. Bill had not been playing long when a dispute arose between him and “Pepper” Whitcomb, a youth somewhat larger than Bill, as to whose turn it was to bat. The dispute grew hot and finally ended in a demonstration of Bill's ability to “wallop ’em in the eye,” and Bill carried bis point and batted. Bill at once became a hero in the eyes of Percival. The boy reflected that if he were able to protect himself as his militant cousin did, none of the boys would dare to call him names or impose on him. His face took on a look of determination and settled purpose. After the game when the boys were on their way home, Percival said to his cousin: “William, do you think you could teach me to fight?” “Of course I can,” said Bill. I can liave you trained in a week so you can lick any boy in the gang.” “All right.” said Percival. “But we must not let mother know, for she would not like it.” 88 THE POLARIS, 1915 Percival's education in the manly art began that day. Bill taught him all the tricks f wrestling and punching he knew.and before the end of the week Percival felt that lie could whip a wild cat. lie had also begun to call his cousin Bill. On Saturday afternoon the bovs were again on the ball ground, and this time Percival decided to take part in the game. The boys gave him a place out in the field where they thought he would not have much to do, and the game proceeded. At length a ball was batted into Percival’s territory. and although he tried manfully to catch it. he failed. At this “Pepper” Whitcomb, the same youth whom Bill had trounced at their first meeting, began to call Percival such names as “sissy.” and “mamma's baby,” and ordered him out of the game. Then all the slumbering wrath in Percival broke forth. He rushed at “Pepper,” and they clinched; they rolled on the ground, they punched, and bit and scratched; and at last “Pepper” asked for quarter. Percival emerged from the fray a battered wreck, but a man. 11 is eye was blackened, his lip cut. and bis nose scratched and bleeding. His collar was gone and his clothes were in shreds. But he had whipped the bully of the neighborhood. When Bill led him home, and his mother saw him. she nearly fainted; while his father, after learning of the battle from Bill, danced a hornpipe, and glowed with pride when he looked at his son. Mrs. Hilton berated her spouse for bis savagery” and reminded him that be would have to buy about $20 worth of new clothes for the boy. Twenty dollars worth.” answered her husband. “I’ll buy a hundred dollars worth and throw in a shot-gun to boot! lie’s got the right stuff in him after all! I le’ll he a football player yet!” CLAIRE LUCAS. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 89 A Fairy Revel ight Dora lay looking out on the beautiful lake with its ripples of silvery “Oh, what a perfectly lovely picture,” she thought, “isn't it almost too lovely to be true?” The moon seemed t  grow brighter and brighter. Suddenly its rays made an arch to her pillow and a fairy with a shining star in her hair and a wand in hand, glided down. Dora. it said in a voice like whispering leaves, I am Whitemoth, the fairy queen's messenger. She invites you to the fairies’ carnival. Come!” Whitemoth touched her with the wand and robed her in shimmering gauze and glistening dew drops. The fairy took her by the hand and led her across the arch to the lake shore, where they entered a fairy barque drawn bv three white swans. They passed other lily barques under avenues of waving ferns and water dowers. “Look,” whispered Whitemoth. Dora beheld myriads of glow worms floating with tiny lanterns over a daisy-carpeted green. There on a throne of green moss and rosebuds, sat the queen, Titania. in her royal robes of spiderweb and thistle down. On her golden hair was a tiara of crystalled frost. About her were her courtiers. The trumpet flowers blew a bla-t as a signal and Titania came down to welcome I)ora. “Thou art thrice welcome, fair earthly child. she said, to our fairy kingdom,” and led her to the seat of honor beside her majesty’s. 'The bumblebees began humming softly, the crickets tuned their violins and the locusts blew their shrill fifes. The fairy revel was on. They danced and skipped and ran. bowed and curtsied until they resembled a mass of twinkling stars. Now soft music floated on the air: again the stillness was broken by a ripple of silvery laughter. Suddenly Titania waved her sceptre and the revelers danced in an aisle. A blare of the trumpet flowers, a long line of fairy pages and attendants, then entered King Oberon to join the revel with his queen. She floated down to meet him. Then they led the dainty minuet on the silvery carpet of the dancing moonbeams; the fairy partners fluttered hither and thither; curtsies and bows exchanged. 11 was fair, the music never so lively, the fairies never more gay. Dora watched them, entranced. “C'ock-a-doo-dlc-doo,” crowed C hanticleer, the outpost, and they all vanished in a twinkling. “Dora Marie!” cried a voice from the stairs. She awoke to find her room flooded with bright sunlight. Getting up, she looked out on the purple lake, gilded by the golden sunbeams. “Ah, but after all.” she hummed, “after all. our really truly world is best. MAIF. SALISBURY. 90 THE POLARIS, 1915 Bluffing THERE arc many sciences studied in the modern high school. Perhaps the four best known are chemistry, physics, botany and bluffing. Of this quartet the first three are in the regular course of work, while the last is especially developed by the various students. There is more to the science of bluffing than one would suppose. To be able to bluff well, a student must know the characteristics of all his teachers. He must know how they teach; that is, what they expect a pupil to know, how they call on a pupil, etc. For the first point. It is necessary for a pupil to know the habits of a teacher. Say, for instance, that a teacher belongs to a club which meets Monday evenings. Then on Tuesday the teacher is more liable to be lenient as he has not had time to prepare thoroughly the lesson himself. So the habits of a teacher must be known by a student if he wishes to be a successful bluffer. For the second point. He (a good bluffer) must know how a teacher instructs. For instance, one teacher may have an eye for details of the lesson and if a pupil knows a few of these small details he will gel a good mark. For this kind of a teacher, a good bluffer merely glances through a lesson and carefully picks out about three small details and is then ready for recitation, with but a few minutes' preparation, or another teacher he may have to get a general outline of the lesson with practically no details and this sort of lesson is but little harder to prepare than the other. Therefore, the habit of instruction of every teacher must be known by a really good bluffer. For the third point. A student set on bluffing must know how and when a teacher calls on a pupil. This is the most important point in a bluffer's code for all other points are of no use unless he knows this one trait of the teacher. Teachers may be divided into three classes in this respect. The first and most numerous is the class of teachers who call on pupils right along the row. They vary their starting but once started go right around the class. So a pupil need merely figure from the four possible starting corners, leaving leeway for a few answers of “I don’t know,” and knows just how much of the lesson to prepare. This class of teachers are the most easy to find and the most easy to bluff, for with a perfect preparation of the topics he expects to recite on, he can receive a good average at the end of each month. The other two classes are opposites of one another. The first is the class of teachers who always call on the students who volunteer. So by preparing a small portion of the lesson and volunteering on his knowledge he is quite sure to be safe. This class of teacher is usually best liked by the student body. The other class is the one which calls on those who seem unprepared. There are two ways of bluffing this class. The first is to seem unprepared, look dejected and down-cast, when the portion of the lesson you have prepared comes up. You will then be called on (nine times out of ten) and can cover yourself with glory. The other way is to raise your hand when you don’t know the answer to the question, assume brightness and so be sure to miss a chance to show your ignorance. So. I maintain that in order to be a good bluffer, the student must know the habits and characteristics of his instructor as an instructor. WILLIAM L. H. MASON. '16. 91 north high school At the Foot of the Statue of Liberty WITH his head inclined to his heart, trembling in all his body, he fell on his knees before the Statue of Liberty .which stands on the wide ocean as a guide to all, and his lips murmured a prayer. Slowly, like the restful waters of a small, still pond, streamed his words and he spoke: “Look, my Liberty! A young man whose dawn has just begun is standing before you. Young is he in years, but already tired. Days and years he has wandered to find rest for his oppressed life; months and years he has kept searching for a place where he would be welcomed, but no place gave him satisfaction. Herds of dogs had traced him wherever he went and put their sharp, poisoned teeth in his wounded Hesh. They gave him no rest. They dislodged him from his living place, and, cursing and abusing, they expelled him and made him wander forever. “And he? • “He knew nothing except the word 'Liberty.' All his being cried for it and all his time was a dream, a dream of liberty. All was dead for him: but even in the worst times his soul trembled with joy, thinking of that present of Hod called ‘Liberty He was sure that there must be a thing like that. He hoped, his soul sang, and the burden of his life became easy to carry. “He went away. His body was wounded; his bones were broken, but his heart was a nest of strong belief; and so, smiling joyfully to himself and looking hopefully to the heavens, he pushed his way forward. “So he came to a foreign country. It was one of the freest countries, and here he expected to enjoy his life. He believed that here he would forget all his pain and sufferings and would be able to recover for the good of himself and of the new country. But here also he had to be disappointed. Only from the distance it had seemed to him to be free; but when he reached that country he found out the whole lie of freedom. It was a paper freedom, which had no influence upon the life. Hate, unkindness and unashamed lies filled the air and made the life impossible. And his soul found no consolation, and it longed. “He left that country and set out for the well known country of unlimited freedom, and so he is now standing before you. Statue of Liberty ! “O Liberty, my Liberty! From the highness of your place, listen to my words and help me. I’ut me under your wing and give me light and freedom. Hive rest to my soul which goes astray and console her. You can do it and you will!” The east light broke out when he finished. All around him became joyful. The sunbeams warmed mildly the surface of the water; the birds circled over the head of the statue, singing and playing, and all the neighborhood looked glad. He got up, and assuring himself that his prayers were heard, he directed his eyes to the point where the large city lies.

RALPH CLOUTIER T9. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 93 How the Serpent Received his Rattlers MANY years ago before the fairies were banished from the earth, the Gnomes and Gollywogs waged war against the Zixies, a tribe of good fairies. Serpent was used by the Gnomes as a spy. He was indispensable to them because, being so very small, he could crawl close to the enemy and consequently learn valuable news. One day Serpent was gliding noiselessly around the Zixie king’s palace when he saw a chance to slip in without being seen. lie slipped past the guard at the door and glided through the long corridors to the throne room, but there he was captured by the king’s guard. The chains in the palace were all much too large to hold Serpent, for he could easily slip through the links, so the king ordered a special one to be made. It was linked right to the snake’s body and could never be taken off. At the close of the war the turbulent Gnomes were subdued because of the loss of their valuable spy, Serpent. The king of Zixics unloosed the chain that bound Serpent to the rock for he knew that the clink of Serpent’s chain would warn others of his approach, and therefore he could do no more harm. To this day Serpent bears his chain, and we call him “Rattlesnake. CORRIXE CORVALLIN. 19. Sunset on Manila Bay OUT on the bay in a frail canoe. I sat. facing the west, and wondering at the mighty power possessed by Nature. In a single moment the blue canopy overhead dissolved into streaks of gold, and dabs of scarlet. The golden sun was setting and the sky burst all ablaze with glory. Each stray, fluffy cloud was tinted with roseate hues, and floated on a golden sea of air. Each passing moment, the sun dropped lower and lower in the heavens, until it disappeared entirely, only a rosy glow left to mark the disappearance. Soon, even this became too faint to see. and the soft gloom of twilight enveloped me; the evening star peeped out from behind the clouds, then, one by one. the whole sky was dotted with spots of sparkling gold, which cast their reflections in the glassy water, and twinkled at me there. As 1 turned around, loath to leave such a spot of beauty, the majestic moon shone down from overhead in all its splendor and casta broad path of moonlight on the water, along which I paddled home.

There his imagination helped him out. In rithmetic and spellin’ and grammer Johnny stood at the very tip-toe foot of the class—even below little Lottie Morrow who wore yellow curls and put her finger in her mouth. Hut let me tell you something, Johnny had a great big, big imagination. Why, if Johnny thought about it hard enough he could be perfectly sure that he had filled the woodbox nr fed the pigs even though the box was empty and though the pigs were squealing. Now, if you understand Johnny’s imagination you can see why he was so dreadfully frightened at that bear. It all happened on a cold, wintry night. All the White family and several neighbors were sitting around the fire, eating lovely molasses candy and red apples when Johnny’s father exclaimed: “John, have you milked the cows? 1 forgot to say that there was one time when Johnny's renowned imagination refused to work and that was when his father called him John. Somehow, the boy couldn’t remember having milked those cows and he left the cozy circle resentfully. A moment later the quiet gossip was broken by an excited boy exclaiming, “Oh, I’m scared! I saw a bear as big as a horse sitting out there on the fence. I'm 'fraid to go milk those cows! Can’t they wait until morning?’’ But Johnny’s father had the making of a lawyer in him. Bears don’t usually grow to the size of a horse, neither do they sit around on fences on cold winter nights. Fixing the quaking boy with his eye. he thundered, “John Sterling White, what did you just remark? “I-I-I only said 1 saw a bear out on the fence about as big as a-a hor—well, maybe only the size of our biggest pig,” announced Johnny in rather shaky defiance. His father gazed at him. “How large did you say that animal was?” “I-I-I think it was about as big—as big as Watch. “Are you sure it was that big? ’I think so. sir, Johnny's voice was gradually getting weaker and at the next question sank to a whisper. “Think. John Sterling White, what was it you saw?” “Maybe—just maybe, you know, it was Molly’s cat. was the faint announcement. Then Johnny milked the cows. FLORENCE MELLOII. 95 . NORTH HIGH SCHOOL The High Cost of Hazing WILLIE sat in the darkened room that he was to inhabit in the college dormitory and looked down upon the campus. Willie knew this was correct. In every hook of college life he had ever perused the hero had always finished unpacking (Willie had done this) and then had sat down by the window to watch the happy throng amid the lights and banjoes down below. But there were no lights nor banjoes below, only darkness and silence. And this was the way college opened! Why, Willie remembered that in all the stories they had lolled on fences and sung college glees, whatever they were, and the night— A huge hand was suddenly clapped over William’s face and Willie said “Glub. That was all that his captors let him say. But Willie was too glad, nay even hilarious. to speak. Here, at least, the story books were running true to form. This was the allotted time for prankish upper-classmen to visit the freshmen and put them through their paces. So Willie obeyed the ‘’Hush! Not a sound from you!” that his visitors hissed, to the letter, and let himself be bound to the back of an easy chair. Willie wondered what they would ask him to do. He wished that it were lighter so he might tell more about the intruders. In the blackness of the room he could make out four huge figures and one he could feel behind him. tightening the bed quilt that bound him. Willie remembered that they usually did use a sheet from the bed and was satisfied. But the hero in the story was always undaunted and so Willie spoke up. Make yourselves at home, fellows,” he said. ‘‘I suppose I have to do whatever you ask. Well—” Shut up,” growled a voice from the dark. Again Willie rejoiced. In the story they always told the hero to shut up. But he always defied them and so Willie spoke up again. If you want me to row in a basin with tooth-picks for oars, or—” “Shut up.” snapped a voice. Or sing a song in seven flats and five keys with the other two keys in my pocket, or—” Shut up.” The order was full of threat. ''Or open the window and throw out my chest, or—’’ Willie was rudely silenced by the hand of someone colliding with his mouth. Then a horrible doubt assailed him and he asked, Say. you fellows are hazers, aren’t you?” From somewhere in the room near the table, came a hoarse chuckle and someone growled. Sure we are.” Willie relaxed a little. All was well and what the story books told was true! 96 THE POLARIS. 1915 Bui then a great idea struck W illie and lie proceeded to carry ii into .execution. In one of his books the hero had loosed the knots that held him and had grappled with his tormentors. So Willie did likewise. It was a Ladies' Aid Society quilt that held him so he merely burst thru it and then with an approved veil grappled with one of his visitors. Then events began to occur in rapid order. Willie and one of the invaders came to close quarters, exchanged blows, and then found themselves rolling on the floor. Soon they were up again. Willie had a tine grip on the other fellow's larynx, cutting off all oratory, while the fellow was gripping his hair and trying to loosen it. Another had possession of a bed-slat and seemed to know where to use it. while a third was placing his feet against Willie’s shins with great speed and accuracy. Mow long the fight night have lasted is unknown for it was ended in very abrupt manner. From below came flashing of lights and whistles. Steps clattered on the stairs. Then someone swung a knob against Willie’s head. And he went peacefully to sleep. When he awoke they were dashing cold water in his face and asking foolish questions. There was a light in his room and it was filling with students. Suddenly a youth burst thru the crowd. Say, he gasped, “did anybody see some strangers around here. They came into my room while I was out and hooked my watch and money, and— Willie raced for his bureau. His watch, cuff links, money—all were gone! For the second time Willie went to sleep.

Prizes were won by Miss Wilson and Leslie Code for having the best costumes. Mr. Code made very good use of the pink hose awarded him. The girls in their plain aprons and the boys in their ragged clothes covered with patches spent the evening in playing games and dancing. An appropriate lunch consisting of sandwiches, pickles, coffee and doughnuts, was served at eleven. At twelve o’clock the party disbanded with the strains of ' Home, Sweet Home ringing through the hall. June 3, 1914. Place—M innehaha Palls. Occasion—Picnic. Chaperones—Miss Grant, Miss Wilson and Mr. Link. The main feature of the picnic was the “cats to which the whole party did justice. A baseball game furnished amusement for the boys while the girls displayed their speed in racing. Late in the afternoon the party took a long walk down the path by the creek exploring the much-trodden banks. Nov. 28, 1914. - Occasion—A Kid Party at Durham's Hall. Looking ten years younger a jolly crowd assembled chaperoned by Miss Wilson. Miss McClure and Mr. Link. The girls with their small sisters' dresses on and the boys in their knee breeches indulged in such games as “drop-the-handkerchief. The prizes for the best costumes were won by Marion Car-boneau and I slic Code. Although their curls and pigtails were much in the way the girls with their partners broke away from the kid games and ended the evening in a dance. May 5. 1914. Occasion—A Dancing Party at Unity Gymnasium. Chaperones- Miss Hoff, Mr. Link and Mr. Gates. The hall was decorated in blue and white banners which were hung from the balcony. The evening’s program consisted of games and dancing. At eleven o’clock the boys chose their partners for lunch. The chaperones were honored by a bouquet of American Beauty roses at their table. Small tables were set and each place was designated by a daintily painted place card. 108 THE POLARIS, 1915 P dh c. $ + Our Pc 109 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Social Affairs—Continued Jan. 5, 1915.

As the weather was moderate and the ice as smooth as glass the skating was fine and no one seemed to mind the tumbles. Miss Wilson and Mr. I.ink and Mr. Davis enjoyed the skating as well as the rest. At nine-thirty the skaters assembled at the North High lunch room where they found a lunch ready to he served. Their appetites were satisfied by cream shrimp on toast, hot chocolate, chocolate sundaes and cake. In the gymnasium after lunch dancing began. Eleven-thirty came too soon for the dancers and in the midst of a dance the janitor rang the closing bell. June 6, 1914. ( )ccasion—A Picnic at Glenwood. On the last day of school a picnic was held at the home of Viola Babcock at (Jlenwcod. In the morning the weather was bad but neither the rain nor the mud kept the picnickers at home. At noon a picnic lunch was served on the porch where everyone enjoyed a good • feed.” After lunch when the sun came out some pictures were taken and some out-door stunts were performed. Some of the party went in swimming, which almost caused a few drowning escapades. At five o'clock the partv was broken up by a few picnickers leaving, while the rest remained for a good time in the evening. Oct. 29. 1914. (Jccasion—Hallowe’en I ‘arty. Chaperones—Miss Wilson.

ATHLETIC5 GERALD AflDCRSOfi 'id Athletics in North High School SOUND MIND and a sound body is an ideal attainment not only for the present but for the future of any individual. A sound mind will think right thoughts and a sound body will be able to execute such thoughts and impulses. A very happy tendency for the present is toward greater care of the body and I feel that our present efforts in high school athletics are making substantial progress along right lines. The work in our gymnasiums cannot but result well both for the general student body and also for those classes of students in the special groups of football, baseball, track, hockey and tennis or whatever special sports may be supported by the school. It is in the gymnasiums that the preliminary training is undertaken which shows who can and should undertake the more strenuous work of these special sjx rts. It is to be expected that with general athletics under proper supervision, the ideals of what constitute true sportsmanship will tend toward a higher plane. I am very glad to notice that this is already true. Many things which a few years ago were thought justifiable in order to win are now frowned upon by the student body as unsportsmanlike. North High is now very fortunate in its opportunity for athletics except in the matter of an outdoor field. It is to be hoped that the field now ready with the exception of a fence and stands may be soon equipped fully in these respects, for the open air exercise is certainly to be preferred to that indoors. There is necessarily some expense connected with athletics and this can be met in a very easy way by charging a modest price of admission but it is obviously imjjossiblc to do this without a proper enclosure. Kvcn if no admission were charged, the policing and proper conduct of the games could only be assured by an inclosed field. Those who have watched the influence of athletics under proper school supervision arc well aware that they have been the means of promoting school spirit, enthusiasm, and loyalty. Not only this, but a proper respect for other schools has been fostered. The spirit of the true sportsman and not the mere sport has been very fortunately promoted by the means referred to. To be able to lose with dignity as well as to win with honor is an attainment to be desired. It is well known that the opportunity for special athletic preferment and honor can only be attained by first making an agreeable record in the regular studies of the class room. In this way, athletics in North High have tended toward higher ideals and scholastic attainments. The alumni of the school are more and more rallying to the spirit of true athletics as well as ever sounding the praise of their school. It is the wish of the management of North High that all pupils may win honor in school or out of it and that those who do not get their N” from the athletic field may-do so in the field of life's ex| cricnce. W. HOBBS. THE POLARIS, 1915 I 14 The Football Team of 1914 The north high school football team of 1914 was built around two men—Walter Hacrtle and Oscar Begin. Captain Hacrtlc's offensive work was some of the best seen in High School football in years. Likewise Begin was a star on defense and these men were unanimously chosen on the City All-star team. The playing of two other members of the team was of the highest order and Kenneth Stone and Herbert Pippel were also given berths on this team. But it was not the playing of stars that won the Championship; it was the fighting spirit of the whole team as a unit. From the very first the spirit was fine and the boys were absolutely loyal to their school and coach. Training rules were closely observed by every one and this fact was proved. For, in every game. North played hard and always came back strongest in the last quarter. Jealousy and dissension were unknown and eleven men united their mental and physical powers to produce a machine which no team could beat. An incident illustrated this point. One day when the season was about one-half completed I jokingly told one of the stars that if he did not shine soon his name would be missing in the All-star line-up and he quickly replied. “I don’t care as long as the team wins.” Last, but not least, the second squad turned out for practice better than ever before and although we had two teams on the field only one-third of the days of practice, the first team met with much determined resistance at the hands of the scrubs. This was due largeh to Messrs. 'Penny. Leslie. Robbins. Zittleman and Miller, who rendered much valued assistance bv their coaching through the season. K. R. JACKSON.

Seven “X” men were with the squad. Captain llaertel. the mainstay of the team, at full back; Begin, at center; Pipplc at tackle; Dahl, Cohen and Stanchfield, ends; Stanchfield also played quarterback, and Stone, formerly of North, at half. Two, and often three, teams showed up daily and proved to be material that Coach Jackson and Assistant Leslie were pleased to work with. Jackson, a genius at plays, began to develop a team around the seven men of the last year which would sweep the defense of any other city team. This he accomplished by the beef of Bugenstien combined with the eagerness and speed of Rogers and Spurzem as guards. The immovable Ekberg on defense and aggressive Ekbcrg at offense in unison with all city selection left tackle Pipple, tackles, and Dahl and Cohen at ends, played football that showed what experience does, also with the assistance of Lewis and Stanchfield, alert and offensive, substituted for Cohen after injuries received in second contest. These men pivoted around the memorable Oscar Begin of the never-say-die variety. Jackson’s scheme of ten second men in the backfield: Captain Walter llaertel. fullback; Stone and Taylor, halfs; Bruhn, quarter, showed reliability, speed and aggressiveness. Bruhn played a heady game when used as pilot, but generally, especially during the beginning of the season. Howard Stanchfield was the man we depended upon for the signal work. Mason was also the guiding angel in several circumstances. Stone the man with speed, strategy and stonewall ability, was of a dependable sort for a gain or punt. Bruhn, Lewis, or Taylor were used as the other half. All of the above named men were speedy and used as best preferred according to the play. Taylor for forward passes and end runs, Bruhn for end runs and foot plays, Lewis for the slow but sure variety of playing, llaertel. the star of North with ability never before excelled, was the man who could “'Touch-down” when the enthusiasm of the stands called for it. This man, gifted with a “do-or-die” quality, was the cause of the beautiful Myer Trophy and the Pennant furnished by the Kennedy Sporting Goods Company. 'The Meyer Trophy is the temporary property, for one year, of the school winning the championship. 'The first school to win three championships becomes permanent owner of the cup. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 117 North Alumni Game 12—7 This game, as usual, proved more of a comedy than a contest. Generally the older fellows put up but slight resistance, but the season of 14 they gave some opposition and even crossed the goal line after a beautifully executed forward pass to the side lines. But the featurous work of the back held of the North team was of such a degree that the fathers and uncles were obliged to allow a touchdown and a goal. Mosier of the Alumni furnished the stands with unintentional humor because of his bulk. North-Johnson 45—0 With but slight opposition on the part of the down-river boys, the North Team piled up a 45-0 count. The game was no more than a practice game and it proved almost less. Two touchdowns were registered in the first hve minutes of play and the superb work of Captain I lacrtel and Captain-elect Stone never faltered. North-South 9—6 What finally proved to be the real championship game, the first game of the season, fell, a victory, into the hands of the North team. The teams were very evenly matched though the advantage was with North most of the game. During the third quarter. North had battled their way to the thirty-yard line and from a difficult angle Howard Stanchrteld placed a beautiful field goal which won the game and was the feature of the contest. Quarterback Stanchficld also won fame when, on the last down and three yards to a touchdown, by a strategic play via passing between Center Begins trusty lower limbs he scored a welcome six points. The team was working together, a thing which had been lacking other years, and with unity there is strength. It was here illustrated. North-West 7—6 This contest was won by North only because Fiery Stone of West failed to kick goal after the touchdown, although he was, as Haertcl of North, the mainstay of his team. For three quarters the West team was as aggressive as North, hut the final quarter showed what training had done for North, and. for a time, it seemed that North would score a second touchdown. The moment of thrills in this contest came when North faltered for a few moments during the second quarter and allowed West to march almost on to victory. With one yard to the goal and West's hall on first down, the North fellows got together and held the West fellows as only stone walls can. The crisis was over and West never again threatened to score. 118 THE POLARIS, 1915 North-Central 13—0 This contest was won before it started and the team was confident although not overconfident. It is true Central gave Xorth a scare when they reeled off a couple of splendid gains via the forward pass route but it was only momentary. The fellows have lacked unity other years but with everybody working together and a man like Hacrtel at the helm there was no doubt but that the team would win and the stands fell the air of victory and championship. Taylor was given a chance to show his abilities and pulled down a foi-ward pass from the clouds, making a splendid gain on it. Stone and the remainder of the backficld played to win and each man on the team did his share. North-St. Paul Central 7—7 This contest was ragged but at times was spirited. It seemed that fate wanted each team to win and the score showed it. The Xorth team was clearly the aggressor but. by a fluke, Central tied the count in the last minute of play. Stone and Hacrtel showed their wonderful plunging powers, and this war horse ability featured the game. North-East 28—13 This contest was the most thrilling of the season and at times seemed to go against Xorth. After North had registered, the team threw pep away and played only to fill up the time, resulting in two runs, unsui-passed in thrill, by Xorth s opponents. These runs took place within ten minutes of each other and the shock awoke the fellows. Then we saw a sight which showed .North’s strength. With gains of from 5 to 20 yards, Hacrtel and his teammates passed the goal line 3 times in 5 minutes, thereby stowing away the championship and the trophies. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 119 How North High won the Championship THERE really is no explanation as to “how'' North won the championship, we just “did.” When the season started every fellow went into the game with the spirit. “We will win.” We kept up that spirit through the entire season. It was not the spirit of winning bv any or all means, but winning by playing a cl.an and hard fought game. We not only had the spirit, but we had a team that kept in training. There was not one fellow on the entire team that smoked or was out of condition in any way. Mention must also be made of the second team who gave their loyal support and withstood all the knocks, kicks and cuffs of the first team. Our team was composed of the very best caliber; they had the training; they had the fight; they had the support; and. above all. they had the best coach in the Twin Cities. Why shouldn't they win? WALTER HAERTEL. Captain T4. Football Prospects for 1915 NORTH should have another championship team because of the four N” men who will be back and warrant a good foundation for the 1915 team. The excellent training facilities should attract new material and because of the spirit shown by the school in supporting the contests and the number of men out for practice, during season 14. we have all that is necessary to produce another city championship team.

NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 121 Track Work in 1914 'ORTH again failed to win the much coveted Track Championship. This may he traced primarily to lack of candidates. I'or three years North has been forced to ljow to Central because of superior numbers and more lx ys must come out and try out for the track team if victory is expected. Early in the season West was defeated in a dual meet. In the Carleton College Twin City High School Invitation Meet North placed a close second to Minneapolis Central High School. In this meet, as usual, the two Central High Schools had over twice the number of entries as North and it is extremely difficult to win under these circumstances. The City Meet ended in the same way and it was only in the Hamline University Relay Meet that North won over the Twin City schools. North's showing in all the meets was largely due to one man. Captain Harlie Carrier. who is considered the best all-around track athlete this section ever produced. During 1913 and 1914 Carrier won more than one-half the points made by the North teams, averaging over twenty points per meet in the five events. High Hurdles, Low Hurdles. Shot Put, Discus Throw and High Jump. During the last part of the season Carrier competed under a big handicap because of torn ligaments which prevented practically all practice; but in spite of this his marks were good. Hensel and Skellet did well in the distance. The former developed into the best miler North ever had and the latter came within one-fifth of a second of the city meet one-half mile record. Meshbesher regained his form in the middle distance runs and this trio with Ekbcrg easily won the two-mile relay race at Hamline. Taylor, the first freshman to win a letter, rapidly developed into a good vaulter and tied Putnam of West at ten feet in the Hamline meet. Sacks, Spurzem. and Haertcl were all new men in the sprints and ran in the relay team. Ekberg ran his first races in the quarter mile and low hurdles. In the latter event he equalled the city record and with Meshbesher. Skellet and Haertel won the mile relay race at Hamline. Moore threw the discus over one hundred feel which is good considering the small amount of practice which he had. Silberman vaulted in good form but invariably broke a pole. North has won or conic within two to five points of winning practically every meet in three years. About one-half of our contestants place in each meet. It is interesting to note the probable result if we had twice the number of contestants. Have we not enough real spirit at North to bring this about? HE first competitive meet of the season was the Inter-Class contest, which re- sulted in a victory for the Junior Class. There was an opportunity for everyone to show his ability, as five places in each event were point makers. No dark horses were unearthed, with the exception of Hensel. This gentleman of the track appeared to be of scant abilities as a runner, but the middle of the race found him going at almost a terrific pace, clipping a second from the record with ease. The meet was won by the Juniors, but nevertheless Carrier, of the Senior class, was the high man. as he always was. at all the Twin City High School meets. The other point gainers of importance were: Sacks. Hensel. Gerdes. Taylor and P.rulm. E R. JACKSON. Coach. Track Season 1914 THE INTER-CLASS MEET 122 THE POLARIS, 1915 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 123 The Indoor Quadrangular Meet, Minneapolis OX the third of April came the high school meet. Six records were shattered and two others tied, and as usual North lost simply l ecause of lack of entrants. Carrier retained his customary honor as individual star and broke two of his own records, his total being sixteen. The feature event was the half mile relay, which was made in record time also, Central High capturing the event in 1 :44 3-5. The meet was the best indoor one ever held by the city high schools in attendance, facilities and results. The totals were: Central North West . South .53 .30 y3 .23 • l' j Northfield Meet May 9. 'I'he Carleton Invitation Meet, extended to all high schools of Minneapolis and St. Paul was a crowning success. Despite the fact that North had but twelve representatives out of a total of one hundred and thirteen entrants at the meet, the North High fellows brought home second honors, only four points behind Minneapolis Central, the winner. It is discouraging to see each meet fall from our clutches by the result of the last event in each meet and our fondest hopes are that with the home quarters the team may come into its own. With such faithful fellows as Carrier and Eckburg doing their level best to win the meet and lose by four points, it cannot but be discouraging. A total of twenty-one points by Captain Carrier showed his efforts and unsurpassed abilities. The summary of points: Minneapolis N. H. S.....................28 Minneapolis C. H.

On the twenty-third of May, North HiR.li and West High engaged in a dual meet with some splendid results. North High School won the meet by the close score of 58 -53 . Carrier, as usual, ran off with individual honors with his team-mates, doing better than usual, obtaining a fair share of the points. Interschoolastic Meet at Northrop Field May 29. Competing against college stars is not mere play, and the high schools of the Twin Cities became aware of this fact before this meet was ten minutes old. Some splendid athletes competed and records were recklessly shattered by Robinson and Goelitz, of Keewatin, and Cummings, of Hector.

Another meet decided by the last event was the City Meet at Northrop Field, and even the superb efforts of Captain Carrier could not pack away a victory in his last week of school life. Wonderfully little care was taken in how the records were treated, seven of them being slashed before the field was vacated. Carrier, with a total of nineteen points, and Hansel.

I think North will have one of the best track teams she ever had. The amount of material on hand is not appalling, but the quality of those out is promising. We have seven of last year’s team in school this year and of this number we have the entire relay team of last year. Of the new men there are two promising sprinters, who are also excellent broad jumpers. These two events were our weak spots last year. The first meet of the year 1915 was the Twin City Indoor Meet, in which North took first place and so received the cup. Judging from the records already broken this year, track will be on a higher plane this season than ever before in this city, and with an even break of luck North will win the Twin City track championship. Men who are privileged to wear the “N in track are: Capt. Harlie Carrier. Capt.-Klect P ert Kkberg. Horace Taylor. P ert llensel. Walter Haertel. Oliver Skellet. Raymond Spurzem, Max Sacks and Max Meshbesher. BERT EKBERG, Captain . Inter-track lrKES It M t: N-SoPHOMORK. THIS was the first track meet, held since the gymnasium was installed at North. Although no very promising material was unearthed. Kelley, Taylor, and Norden were the stars and showed up strong. Ten events were staged, the relay as usual being the feature event. The Sophomores led throughout this event and Taylor, the last runner for the Sophomores, slipped and fell as he was about to pass and overlap his opponent. nevertheless winning the event.

It is true a loser always gives the reasons for defeats and North has an alibi. With four North men back. Manager Lovely, Capt. Bruhn, William Mason and Capt.-Flect Stanchficld,prospects should have been as good as in previous years. Four veterans gave opportunities for five unexperienced men as far as high school baseball was concerned. The first and greatest handicap was the fact that the team was obliged to travel such a great distance to satisfactory practicing grounds. The trip from the old Central Building to 25th and Washington North was not' such a pleasant trip to make for practice and it was not unusual that the spirit was at such a low tide that two teams could not be found to give battle to one another. Combined with this the school support was at a minimum. Scarcely 100 fans gathered around the old blue and white standard when the North team was lined up to give battle to their opponents. Nevertheless the season was fairly successful and it can safely be said that with the enthusiasm running at 52° the results were splendid. North was credited with two victories; the first was a victory over Fast with a score of two to one, the first game of a double header. The second victory was over South, a splendid game with improved playing all around. The superb pitching of Captain Brulm and Manager Lovely had much to do with these two victories. The best game of the season was the contest with Fast, which made North realize they had a baseball team. This victory was undoubtedly due to the unequalled pitching of Ed. Bruhn, but the team showed an improvement in unity which had been lacking. It was plainly a pitcher’s battle between Ryan of Fast and Brulm of North and the score showed that the teams were on nearly the same basis. There were many sad faces when Brulm was declared ineligible about the middle of the season because of participating in Sunday baseball, and showed visibly that the baseball gods were against North. Combined with this, a rule governing athletics stated that a student could participate in but one branch of athletics per season. This amendment kept many splendid fellows from dividing their efforts into both track and baseball. The only Joy ' which can possibly be classified with these “Glooms was our success in obtaining a complete baseball outfit for each member of the nine. This entire new equipment was the first since 1907 and even with the seven years of use the board had some doubt as to whether there was any need of the new uniforms. fitly the persistent pleas of the coach and manager made it possible. M. F. LESLIE. 129 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Base Ball Games 1914 April 14. W ITH unlimited hope hidden in all corners of their newly purchased uniforms, the North High Baseball Team trotted on the field at 25th and Washington for the first real contest of the year, to he played with South High. Bruhn was to try his skill in the box and the confidence of his team-mates in his ability to deliver was unlimited. But before the game was over all dreams of victory had been shattered and the only redeeming feature of the game was the batting of the North pitcher. Coming up at an opportune moment Eddie stepped to the plate and hit the ball over the center field fence. When the batboy had gathered all the l elongings of the team, the scorekeeper announced that the score was 11-4 in South’s favor. April 24. The second contest was even throughout as the score illustrates, and only hard luck lost the contest despite the unequalled pitching of Ed Bruhn. This was the first contest in which North was seen in uniform and it seems that the new suits brought new life, but the inexperienced men visibly needed more than clean uniforms. The smoke of battle cleared away with the West High School credited with a victory by a 4-2 count. May 2. Hope was revived after the returns of the East game had been flashed over the High School wire of sport. North had won by 2-1. Joy was dominating the school at last; the much longed-for goal had been attained. North had been called the winner in a baseball game. The victorious athletes were looked up to with unprecedented respect. But more than the mere winning of the game was the outcome of this contest. The team had played together. Infield and outfield had combined in the real spirit of victory and hopes for the future were bright. Capt. Bruhn led his team in batting and struck out 18 of the East High liickon swingers. The school looked forward to the next game with anticipation as they expected their favorites to again carry home the bacon. May 2. The Central game was the second game of the double header and North showed her perfect neutrality in the race for the championship by allowing Central to shut them out by a 6-0 count. Manager Lovely was put on the mound, allowing but seven hits, but the game was hopelessly lost, because of poor support. A sterling third Ixiseman was found in this game, however, in the form of Tommie Meyers who held down the third sack for the remainder of the season. May 8. Again the much noted North High perseverance conquered Southtown’s over-confidence. North fell on Bloomquist and Clancy for a number of extra base hits, piling up a big lead in the early part of the game which South was unable to overcome. The final score was 7 to 6 and us uns” kept right on plugging for the Central game. 130 TIIE POLARIS, 1915 May 16. East came back with fire in her eye and the misused athletes of our home town fell before the curves of Lefty Ryan and the heavy onslaught of the East Side boys' willows. C'apt. Bruhn had been barred from further participation, because of playing Sunday ball and the team had temporarily lost its spirit of unity. The score is immaterial but for those who are so curious as to desire to know it. let it be said that East won by a 6-3 count. May 23. The second West game came out almost identically the same as the first. North led until the seventh, then a rally by the West contingent sent Xorth hopes toward earth and West was proclaimed victor by Sir Imps by a score of 10-0. But despair was unknown in the local camp. Every afternoon saw the regulars hard at work and the second Central game found them ready for battle. After much discussion the latter game was called off and Xorth finished the season in third place, which is not so bad for a green team. Coach Leslie anticipates great things of the 1915 team and we trust that they will prove accordingly. The following men C. Lovely A. Meyer A. Johnson II. Stanchfield were awarded “X’s T. Comers T. Miers I). Eckberg E. Brulm in baseball. 11. Smith R. Scivcrs W. Sahr W. Mason Baseball Prospects. THE baseball outlook this year is as bright as it has been for years. At the present time we have almost twice as many men out as any school in the city. 'Flu first call brought some fifty aspiring athletes out. which number more than exceeded any prospect which the coaches had in mind. In former years there were scarcely two teams to pick the one from, and after that was picked the members were not very reluctant in giving up their time for practice. Of course, these men have had an alibi in poor equipment and inadequate grounds but those excuses are things of the past. If the student body will guarantee us fifty per cent of the enthusiasm displayed in football, we will guarantee a championship team. With two very good coaches, Mr. Leslie and Mr. Xittleman, and the bunch of recruits mentioned here, we ought to bring home the flag. Among last year’s men who are again playing are: Stanchfield, Meyers, Comer. Segal, Mason, Seivers and Johnson. Some of the new men who look promising are: Bugenstein, pitcher; Gottlieb, Shapiro, Becker, infielders, and Lewis and Kruit. outfielders. With the students support we look for a successful season.

This was the first season that interscholastic matches were attempted and proved very satisfactory, in that they furnished the team with an idea of the methods of their opponents which were advantageous in the tournament held in June. 134 THE POLARIS, 1915 Hockey at North INCE hockey is so deserving of a place among the sports to he engaged in by our high school students, we should certainly have a larger number actively interested in it. During the season just past there were only ten eligible students willing to have battle with a hockey stick for the glory of North High. Let no student point a finger of scorn at meml ers of the hockey team for not winning games. With so few interested and only four practices during the entire season, our team did well to hold its own against its opponents. Our football team would have had little chance of winning the championship or even a single game under like circumstances. Under existing conditions, our hockey team did well, but what of the future? In June we will lose Captain Johnson, who, in nearly every case, outplayed his opponents at cover point. ()ur right wing will be left vacant by Meyer; Eckbcrg will leave our center open to the approach of the enemy; Eddie Bruhn, our rollicking rover with the genial smile, will no longer be able to trip his adversary and humbly beg his pardon for being so careless. Who will step forward to take these places and make a hockey team possible for another season ? I low many students are willing to work hard that sonic one may be selected to successfully fill each vacant place upon the team? We need a hockey field which can be used for daily practice; we need fully twenty-five students at practice every possible moment during the hockey season, and we need the backing of the entire student-body as we have never had it before if a winning hockey team is desired. Give hockey the support it deserves, the same support given toother forms of athletics, and better results will be obtained. HE hockey team, as usual, made an attempt to make pleasant history for the school, hut under adverse conditions they were unsuccessful. Lack of co-operation by the school, a handicap in practice, since the rink was open to high school use on only one day during the week, and lastly, a shortage of enthusiastic material, made success impossible. Each and every game was pluckily fought, and on no occasion was the score onesided, but lack of unison and practice resulted in a complete schedule of defeats. Considering their efforts the following members of the team were awarded “N’s by the Athletic Association: J. H. S. The Year’s History A. Johnson, Captain, point I'assolt, cover point A.

These two functions the department at North High has attempted, the first in the regular class periods, and the second in the class periods to some extent and in the recreation period after school. For the class work we are provided with an excellent gymnasium, well equipped with first-class apparatus so arranged that it occupies little space when not in use and vet is readily put in place for work. Doth of these features are essential, as time and space are of equally great importance. About eleven hundred boys are handled a week in the gymnasium classes. The work is required for all but Seniors so that not only those who like it but also those who don't, and unfortunately, these are often the ones that need it most, enter the classes. It is here in the class period where real work has to be done that the large majority of students come in touch with the gymnasium. Infortunately in the more enjoyable part of the work only a small minority are reached. This is partly because of the inertia which keeps many from doing what is not absolutely required but more because of lack of time and space to accommodate large numbers. With only one room there is space f« r but one game at a time, whatever that game is, and the rest must get out of the way. A game of basketball accommodates ten players at a time and uses the whole floor space. A game of indoor baseball gives room for eighteen, and so on. ()ur problem then has been to find time and space for large numbers. The gymnasium has been open four afternoons a week for students and one for the faculty. In the fall the time was divided between indoor baseball and independent gymnastic work. A class league of four teams was formed and a series of twelve games played in which the Seniors came out winners, after playing off a tie with the Juniors. These games took two afternoons a week, two games being played each day. This series was followed by abou a month of track practice terminating in a Freshman, Sophomore meet, won by the Sophomores. Basketball was taken up immediately after Christmas. A few preliminary games were played before the new semester opened and then a class league of eighteen was organized, with a total of twenty-eight to be played. Two afternoons were given over to these games and the other two were devoted to track practice under the coaching of Mr. Jackson. Judging from the numbers who come to the gymnasium after school, even if for no purpose but to look on. there is an interest in the gymnasium work. Interest is the first requisite in attaining the object of the department. Next year we hope, bv adding games accommodating greater numbers, to bring more into participation in the gymnasium activities. 136 THE POLARIS, 1915 Girls Gymnasium rpHK North High School has provided for it boys and girls two fine gymnasiums X of which they ma justly he proud. We arc trying there to make these boys and girls better lit physically for the mental work they arc doing and for all work in the future. I shall speak particularly of the girls' physical training. We use the Swedish system of gymnastics, in which the exercises are based entirely upon physiological effect, so while they sometimes scent uninteresting they arc given for a definite purpose and taken properly, will in time produce the desired results; good posture, alertness, accuracy, and a quicker reaction time l. oth mentally and physically. In the apparatus work courage is developed and Some corrective work done. The spirit of fair play which enters into them serves as a strong character builder. Resides the regular class work we have folk dances after school, which combine many of the best things in gymnastic training. They are recreational, demand freedom and case of movement, give grace and poise. In the fall we started a tennis tournament which forty-four girls entered. Owing to the weather the tournament has not been finished hut as soon as the gymnasium floor is marked for tennis we will complete the few remaining matches indoors. The Volley hall teams are getting into shape for a tournament, some preliminary games of which will he played the second and third weeks of January. In the Spring indoor baseball will he organized, and another tennis tournament played. We hope also to organize a Hiking Club which will he of interest to a great many girls. MARY O. HERBERT.

It was organized in March, 1901, with a very humble beginning and has had since then an uninterrupted steady growth. At the present time our institution employs six women in the kitchen, forty student-helpers in the dining room, under the supervision of a Hoard of Managers composed of members of the faculty, and assisted by the entire staff and subalterns of the Domestic Science Department. About eleven hundred students are fed every day. for which the receipts average al out sixtv-eight dollars, with a cost of running the establishment figuring to about twenty dollars. Our bank book shows that last year we handled seven thousand, six hundred and eighty-three dollars and fifty-two cents, and in going back to origins, we find that in the fourteen years of our existence we have handled pennies that in the aggregate have amounted to forty-one thousand, eight hundred, twenty-two dollars and forty four cents. With our splendidly equipped kitchen and palatially furnished dining room, we are now able to furnish our students with a wholesome and palatable mid-day meal, which, with the lengthening of the schooling day, has become as necessary to carry on the machinery of education as the other school room appliances. Our institution, with this, begs to present its compliments to the large body of well-fed students who have been its patrons in the past, and to offer its services in advance to the incoming hungry baud of the future. Signed. THE KITCHEN’ CABINET 143 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE work was l cgun this year with the sole idea of giving platform experience to as many students as possible. Mr. (iasink felt that since the reason for having debates is the benefit to l e derived by the students, the method followed should have that benefit constantly in view. The winning of decisions became a secondary consideration. Realizing clearly that a learned rebuttal is usually more effective than one given extemporaneously, the latter was insisted upon more than ever before because of the need of students for that kind of work. The debaters were made to feel that the coach was there to encourage and direct the work of the team, but not to write speeches or rebuttals. Because of the disruption of the city league, a new schedule was arranged. North debated Buffalo and Anoka in the State League, and John Johnson of St. Paul and Central of Duluth in independent contest. 'Pile elements conspicuous in bringing the measure of success gained were varied, as is usual. First was the work, earnest and sustained. W e were fortunate in having Xygaard and W alsh of last year’s teams. With Brown they formed the Duluth team and established the unique record of never having a team member late at any meeting called by the coach. Their reputation for thrift on the trip to Duluth will be long remembered. On the trip to Buffalo. Cohen. Minsky and Siperstein were materially helped by the encouragement and enthusiasm of a loyal support. Phe other two debates were at home, and though held within a week of each other, were well attended. Pile Anoka team. Brown, Siperstein and Mason, gave a fine example of real debate, but lost the decision. The following Thursday Minsky, Bleecker and Meshbesher met a team from John Johnson and annexed a unanimous vote. Spellacy. of this team, competes with (laron, of Duluth, for the honor of being the best individual debater met this year. That the season was a success from the standpoint of the debaters goes without saying. Better than that, the student body is showing a growing appreciation of extemporaneous debate. Phe day of the declamatory type has passed in the university, and the students of North are realizing the greater value to them of the ability to express themselves before an audience without having the exact words previously memorized. In the inter-class series, the teams chosen were: Payette Snow, Aaron Horowitz and Arthur Weller for the Seniors; Sam Maslon. Bessie Evans and Alec Luce. Sophomores: Dorothy Strom. Charles Donaldson, and Rav Williams, Freshmen. In the first debate the Sophomores won a two to one decision from the Seniors. In the second, in spite of the boasted mature wisdom and great experience of the Juniors, a unanimous victory was won by the Freshmen. The winners are to struggle for the class championship on April 23rd. Last year the honor and the new pins went to the Juniors. P'or the first time, no faculty coaching is being given, that work being done very acceptably by members of the school teams. Phe question, Resolved, that the city council should have power to contract with the Street Railway Company for an extension of its franchise,” has insured original work and also has furnished an unusually interesting and instructive topic. 144 THE POLARIS, 1915 Debate Team Minsky Brown SlPKRSTKIN Gasink Bl.KEi’KKK NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 145 COM EX Debate Team Walsh Mesh resuek YGAAR1) Mason 146 THE POLARIS, 1915 Scientific Club THIS first year in our new building has brought forth a spirit of activity which has succeeded in accomplishing what has twice before proved futile, namely, the organization of a Scientific Club. The natural sciences which were before crammed into unused corners have sprung into prominence in their new mutters. In the physics and chemistry departments the surplus energy has brought forth this new organization. At first the club was only open to boys taking physics or chemistry. but now any student who takes a science or manual training and has an average of 80 per cent is eligible. The purpose of this club is the elucidation and practice of the laws of the universe. To secure this end the members have furnished demonstrations at their meetings and several noted professors have been brought before the students. It now remains for the under classmen to continue what these people have begun, keeping up interest in the sciences of natural law which have for their bounds infinitude. Scikntific Cu n Officers.

The members assist the student musical organizations and promote events which arc always of a high character. In the spring and fall of 1914 the quartet took a leading part in two notable faculty concerts which were successful from l oth the artistic and financial points of view. The first netted the Athletic Association over a hundred dollars, the second for the piano fund, over five hundred dollars. Last November three concerts were given in W isconsin towns under the auspices of the University of W isconsin and very flattering testimonials were received. Recently the men sang for the Civic and Commerce Association at their “Union Station Dinner” and had an enthusiastic reception. Any school or college may lie considered fortunate in having such an organization in its faculty. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 149 FACULTY GLEE CLUB First Tenor—A. V. Hurd. S. II. Morse, M !•'. Leslie. J. H.
