The writings in it are. as a rule. Written only by pupils in North High School, We. of the January sixteen class. Have tried to write, each lad and lass. For you to read in some cozy nook This January-sixteen Polaris Year-Hook. The Editors. 30 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 31 SENIOR THOUGHTS OF A GRADUATE Roll on, cold waves of time. For now we hear the chime That bids us leave our school behind To enter life’s great struggle. How oft you lapped the sandy beach And looked quite innocent, out of reach. You’ve heard the laugh and song of each; Now wc hear your cruel breakers. O time. O time, vour onslaught stay. These years to use have been but day ; And now. dark night is on its way Unknown with all its mystery. “Xae man can tether time nor tide.” Petitions time does not decide. To Thee we turn. Almighty Guide. On entering life’s great struggle. John Clark. Jan. ’16. WINTER DAYS Yo ho! for the joys of a winter day, Yo ho! for the skate! Yo ho! for the sleigh!! Yo ho! Yo ho! when the snow doth fall 'Tis then 1 hear the winter’s call. When the sky is blue and the day is clear. And everything white both far and near. Then Yo ho! for joys of a winter day! Yo ho! for the skate! Yo ho! for the sleigh! School is done and play is begun. Snowballs fly fast, imagine the fun. Then Yo ho! for the joys of the winter’s day! Yo ho! for the skates! Yo hot for the sleigh. Lenore Levitch, Jan. Class TO. 32 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS Absence of AppirtJ Oft 'Rriolmt the Man. Kestin$ ( SHARPER 1AM ACTCRS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 33 Sixteen ville AS I STEPPED from tlie train in Sixteenvillc. a little village in Vermont, 1 saw Oscar Begin unloading my trunk and carrying it on his head into the depot. Arthur Xoot, the depot agent, was quite excited, for only one train came a day. I noticed Lillian Elliot, and Edith Maslon dressed very attractively, eagerly watching the people come off of the train. I started down the street to the Inn and the first thing I noticed was a feed store owned by Ernest W’ennerlind. Xcxt to it was a blacksmith shop. I saw Lawrence Krafft sitting in a broken down chair in front of it. I asked him who owned the shop and he said, “Mr. A. Roscnfield.” The gaudy signs told me that the next building was a moving picture show. Frances Greenberg, with elaborately dressed hair was selling the tickets, Hollis Hawkey was the manager and held the door open for those that entered. As the door flew open. I saw that Sarah Brooks was playing the piano. There was an old man leaning on a cane, on the corner selling balloons and tin whistles. On a closer view. I recognized W illiam Mason. A photograph gallery across the street was managed l� y Fred McC’rea and W ilma Agnebcrg was his assistant. An old wagon creaked by, tilled with squawking hens. Farmer Boll was bringing his chickens to the meat market. I saw Harry Kregal cutting a lawn and I surmised that he was the handy man. The next shop was a furrier’s and upon looking in I beheld Walter Men .el with a clothespin on his nose, skinning skunks. 1 was told that the general store was owned by Samuel Savin, that Helen Mahoney kept the account and Elsie Salmey was the head and only clerk. I bought a newspaper from Mycr Gordon, and upon beholding the names of many of my friends, I stopped still to read in the middle of the street. On the front page I noticed that the Dahl sisters had written a book on “Temperance and Religion.” and that a copy of such could he found in any of the large hook stores. 1 saw that Rosabel Bowers was the chief reporter. The novelist Miss Blanche Conover was gaining great renown and money from her well known work, “Solace for a Loving One.” Mable Linquist was the head of a school for girls in Virginia. An article caught my eye on “Ilow to Make Your Hair Curly,” by Lilly Miller. All at once my baggage and paper was knocked out of mv hands and I pretty near fell over. After the shock. I saw that Bcrthold Hensel, in making his mile run had bumped into me. but didn't slop in his zeal for making speed. I picked up my paper and went to reading again. This caught my eye: Wanted. a husband. References required. I can scrub and make my own clothes. Must not chew or smoke. Eva Dunn.” Some beauty hints were signed by Amelia See-man. In “My dear Miss Fairfax” column I read—”1 am 5 ft. 2 in. slender, blue eves and have pearly teeth. Do you consider me good looking and is my writing prettv? Am I old enough to go with hoys? Yours. Marjory McFall.’’ I saw that Ethel Loomis had gone to China as a missionary and that the Misses Weyh, Hasty, and Yaubel were at the head of a hospital for the lame and the blind in Korea. In staring headlines I saw that Eva Eineberg was heading a suffragette parade in Washington. Miss Agnes Frantzich was an artist of the first type and had as her Grecian model Florence Mandloh. Folding up mv paper. I resumed my walk. I noticed 34 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 35 that Morris Giller was the president of the hank and Cecelia Movers, cashier. I heard sonic awful shouting and there stood Abe Shockett holding a street meeting, standing on a lumber wagon and Alger Clstoni was taking movies of the crowd. I saw a sign in front of a little office building which read:—Mabel Hanson, hair dresser, J.ucilc Bronson, manicurist. Francis Butler, specialist in bobbing children’s hair. Florence Ruhnke, chiropodist. And to my great astonishment I saw the “G. G.” dancing academy, (Griggs and Grant). Lcnorc Levitch, an old lady, came hobbling into town with a basket of eggs. Eugene McGuirk was the owner of the village saloon. I stopped, on mv way. to congratulate Mr. McGuirk for having become sober enough to hold a municipal job. I noticed that Miles Martin owned the livery stable. An auto whizzed past in which were Abe Segal and Sarah Saxe. Strange to say. they didn't notice me. 1 heard the strains of sad music and beheld Frank Lewis, an organ grinder. Down the street came Alphonse Brinkman, the schoolmaster, with a green bag full of books, followed by dear and loving children. 1 saw Henry Spanier taking his milk to the creamery owned bv Reuben Buttke. John Sherman was covering the one sign board of the town with pictures of the Scotch minstrel, John Clarke. There were notices that the “Fink Lady” (Le Roy Boelke) would soon be in town. Paul Rosenthal was distributing hand bills. Of course, I got one and saw that a well known play was coming to town in which Florence Shulman was the leading lady, Lucile Taylor soloist. Misses Denter. Drecson, Johnson, Lund and Paulson were chorus girls. . The constable, Nathan Harris, was holding Roy Dotcn by the shoulder lor speeding over 4 miles an hour with his Ford through town. Ethel Braaten was the village dressmaker who carried gossip from door to door and Alison Ballard, a widowed music teacher. Going past a little shop, I heard some one say, “It’s all off.’’ I looked in and there was Leyden Erickson, the barber. Doctor Goldberg was assisting Miss Persall in putting up prescriptions in the drug store. I saw Pearl Epstein hanging up clothes and Minerva Beskin hoeing in her garden. 1 pretty nearly bumped into Rev. I. C. A. Reck, as he was wandering along evidently with his mind on the enlightenment of the masses. There sat Alice Peterson knitting on the front porch. Arthur Broback came up just then on his rural delivery route. Miss Peterson said that she was going to a dance and that Mr. Edwin Wolff was the tiddler for the country dances. 1 finally arrived at the village Inn. Mr. Sushanky was the proprietor, with Bessie W illis in the kitchen. Being shown to my room, 1 sank into a chair and glanced into a mirror. What did I see? Only the face of ( harlotte fepson. .She had settled down to a quiet state of spinster life with her parrot and caf Charlotte Jepson, Jan. ’16. 36 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 37 JUNIORS Joined together with bonds of steel. U perceive a class spirit that is real Never wrong, always right In all things we do show our might, O we’re some class, as we admitted Right with us resides the only wilted, Size 11 cap, our heads ne’er titled. A Junior Personals Clifford Forslund broke his record of never being absent from school on a certain day in the month of November. Keeto Loss would make a good collector with the help of his side partner. Emil Granning. What made Ray Johnson run into Physics Laboratory so quickly one day last December? Houghton Smith said he was very sorry, but he couldn’t study over vacation as he had to work. (He was on the decorating committee for the J. B.) Chauncey Grenncll says he is going to move to town as soon as he is a senior, as he cannot carry his books from here to Robbinsdale. Miss 11— s room makes a fine place for magicians’ tricks, so say Gladys I), and Marie 11. Grace Parsons thinks that the stereopticon room is a very nice place, especially when it is dark and the lantern refuses to work. Irving Friedman is very anxious to see Keeto Loss concerning a business proposition. Houghton S. is very often seen boarding a Fremont car going north. Hazel M. had the much touted grip, but Emil said it financially embarrassed him more than when siie was well, Alphonse Johnson says he wants to learn the ‘‘Workhouse 1 rot for the next J. B. (Who from??) Merwin M. says that he is continually being lectured by one of his teachers, but that it goes in one ear and out the other. (Maybe there’s nothing there to stop it.) Howie Stanchfield says that Monday is a blue day. so that he stays out to drive the blues away. Kenny Stone wants to know if you have to send flowers to your girl and hire a cab for the J. B. 38 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS SOPHS We Should all contribute to the Paper of our scHool in Order to Make the POlaris' betteR than any papEr of any other institution. (lurly Hedingran, ’18. ODE TO A SENIOR—EDMONDS I. My life is filled up with dangers, W hen the first of each month conies ’round. Then must I dodge my creditors. And hide at the slightest sound. II. One fellow 1 owe two whole dollars. Another six bits, maybe more, And then quite a few good half dollars, And Jitneys, good night! by the score. III. Such a life wears on my nerves, And that is the reason I’m thin, But then I’ll surely pay up some day If ever my ship comes in. IV. O say, could you lend me a quarter. So tonight I can have lots of fun? Thanks, what’s that—a footstep? Ye gods! ’tis lie, I must run! (With apologies to the creditors but not to Edmond.) Charles Hynes. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 39 SONGS AND SAYINGS OF G. ROOM Maurice Swiller claims that he saw Abe Sweet open his eye in the English class. (We know Swiller from away back and he can’t spring any of those improbable stories on us.) Zallie Levin does not go to music, (lie's saving his voice for the newsboys’ choir.) “Chuck” oik sits in the hack seat so that the sun can’t spoil his complexion. Joe H. decided to make peace with Miss W. during Christmas vacation. Brooks and Swiller claim to be on friendly terms with Cupid now. “Billy” (Hicks) Steinman—(Our Lug.) Hy” Bergman still disputes the ownership of the third door with Miss . Joe C— has mastered the art of wiggling his ears. Max Rakov wants his name in the Polaris. (See it.) The Twins. FALSE HOPES I’m often called a good fellow. When spending my money so hard; Then all of the bunch gather ‘round me. And all of them call me “old pard.” They say that I’m the best ever. And not a tight dead beat. They say this when Pm spending heavy And setting the bunch up to treats. But Oh, it’s tough when I’m broke. No credit nor cash at my call. To look for my so-called friends. And find I have none at all. Charles Hvnes. 40 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS The Emotions of a Freshie HE HAD LORDED it over his mates for two months—he was going to high school in September. The average mortal was only in “the grades ' But now, on this bright morning, the seventh of September his balloon of self-esteem was pricked, his courage Hat. his hopes low. 11 is sophomore cousin had worked hard yesterday, had accomplished his self-set task beautifully auntie had told him to tell his cousin the ways and manners of high school. Last night when the sophomore had gone home. Freshie crept oil to bed, supperless. Me had lain there shivering in spite of the warm weather. Ilis teeth had chattered. He had thought of taking the Latin course, but his cousin had saved him from destruction just in time with tales of the “awful teacher and awful lessons.” lie had switched to the manual training course and been discouraged by the threat of drawing lessons every other day. In the commercial course shorthand and law loomed up blackly. What could he take—the only thing left was the Domestic Science course, and that was for girls. The Freshie was just at the age when girls were classed with mosquitoes and measles—useless pests. Then Freshie had sunk into troubled slumber and dreamed of being surrounded by giant teachers who threw books and Latin and drawing lessons and sauce-pans at his head. In the morning he awoke with a queer taste in his mouth, heavy eyes and a heavier heart. Ilis mother hoped he wouldn’t be ill and dressed him up in his Sunday suit, new shoes and a still. shiny collar, indigo hued. Freshie started for school. He was very hot and his collar scratched. He arrived at the door he had long hoped to enter with great misgivings. A few embarrassing encounters with upper classmen and at last he was seated in a room. Surprised bv a teacher who demanded his course, he gasped. “Latin.” and then began remembering all the dreadful things about it. lie lifted his eyes in despair and saw—his chum. One friend in the battle! They got together somehow and our Freshie discovered that Chum was going to take Manual. “Change vour course.” whispered Chum. With fear and trembling Freshie raised his hand and made known his desire. Something snapped in the harrassed teacher’s mind and she scolded for five precious minutes. In the end Freshie changed his course and state of mind. “Huh.” he whispered to his Chum when the teacher’s back was turned. 1 ain’t afraid of her. She scolds just like the grade teacher.” And Freshie’s courage flowed back. Florence Melloh (quondam Freshman.) NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 41 POLARIS CONTEST Those Class Pictures Senior Prize WHY DOKSa responsive chord in your nature tingle at the mention of them? It seems that of all class activities, the production and exchange of these flattering representations of the “facial aspect” of the class is the most exciting and touching event of the year. This great event may be divided into four periods of interest: first, the visit to the photographer, then the inspection and criticism of the proofs, the period of waiting, and the last crowning event, the exchange of these objects of secret admiration or envy. The visit to the photographer—the mention of it conjures up remembrances of head rests, squatty chairs, common brush and comb and a host of accessories and other bothers. The photographer, a suave man who ought to have a grudge against the public in general for the impossible things it expects of him. arranges you in an uncomfortable, cramped position, places the “bulb” behind his back and tells you to look at him and smile—smile! mind you, while looking at him! Xo wonder your face feels strained and your breath comes fast with the exertion of it. For the next pose, he tells you to look at some object on the wall; you concentrate on it, and then he asks if you can’t get “that faraway expression out of your eyes.” Well, you thank your stars that it is soon over and you can again breathe the sooty, outside air and feel yourself free from that one-eyed monster, that stared so ominously at you before no, dear reader, 1 do not mean the photographer, but his instrument. A few days later you have your proofs—you never realized before what an awful job the retoucher must have. Kvcn if you arc secretly thankful that your nose doesn't show any more than it does and that other poses than a “Profile” are available. si ill you realize that “while in Rome you must do as the Romans do, so you say that they arc “awfully” poor and you are going to “sit again.

NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 43 The Race at Weston Freshmen Prize WESTOX is a small village in one of our northern states, where the races on ice every year are on their calendar, as one of the most important features of the year. The village was exceedingly excited over the races this year. A few of the most popular young men of the place were going to take part. Seaton West was. perhaps, the most popular boy in the town, lie had won the races in the last few years and was considered as having the best chances of winning again. Jim Fox, a Southerner, who had arrived here three years ago. was going to take a part. Because of his great fondness for the sport, he had learned to skate quickly. East year. Seaton had beaten Jim’s friend and teacher. Harry Skimpolc. This time Harry was sick and unable to take part. Jim was determined to beat Seatton for him and, with a last handshake, he had promised to come back a victor. At last, the day, the hour, the minute came, when the shot was fired and off started about ten boys of the village. They were to skate about three miles up a river where glory or defeat awaited them. The victor received a silver cup, which was greatly esteemed by the village folk. Jim and Seaton obtained an early lead, which they maintained all through the race. They were closely followed by a few of the swiftest skaters. Gradually, Seat-ton was gaining a lead. Hearing the crowds cheering Seaton, Jim soon became aware of his serious situation. Am I going to let him beat me? No! His remembering his last handshake with Harry, when he had promised to come back a victor, gave him fresh hopes. Working with the strength of ten. he covered the gap between them and shot into the lead a victor. Marcus Van Damme.

Marl!” suddenly exclaimed one of a group of peasant boys standing on tin summit of a lofty Norwegian peak. They were returning home after a day’s hunting. •Wo. I am not.” answered Martin Erickson, a lean, powerful lad. yet quiet and thoughtful, a hoy whom his companions liked to tease, “but it is a foolhardy thing to do. It is nearly a mile to the valley and then one must run thru the village.’ There they stood, a group of careless, thoughtless and daring young boys. I hey began to laugh. One said, Ha, Ha. foolhardy? Where did you get that word.' You’re afraid, you meant, and a coward, too. for offering such an excuse.’ Martin’s eyes glinted. He glanced at the boys and then at the slope. He seemed to think, lie knew that he had been called a coward only in a careless moment, but he also knew that such an epithet sticks to a person, whether spoken idly «� r earnestly, lie fully realized, also that to descend that mile of bumpy, shrubbery mountain slope, meant almost certain disaster, and probably death, not to mention the little village which nestled in the valley with it crooked streets which must be traversed at a rate of sixty or seventy miles an hour. He glanced once more at his friends, drew a full breath and, without a work or sign, easily and smoothly glided off down that dreadful slope. His friends were absolutely astounded. They realized as well as Martin the danger of the run. They called to him to come back, to stop, to fall, but he heard them not. With baited breath and staring eyes they watched him. Knees slightly bent, face into the wind, eyes staring ahead intently, faster and faster he flew. Like an arrow from a bow he sped, down and down, when—he shot into the air and then disappeared in a cloud of snow. Martin had fallen! The sweat poured down the faces of the waiting boys. They feared to find him seriously injured, perhaps even dead. In the excitement, nobody noticed a lone ski start down the slope, leaping and bounding like a live thing, gathering speed as it went. Soon however they breathed a sigh of relief, for Martin arose and with one ski clutched under his arm. he began hastily to climb to the summit of the mountain. As soon as Martin reached the summit he breathlessly asked with a trembling voice. “Where did my ski go to: which direction did it take?” Without waiting for a reply he wheeled around and stood facing the village. That was the direction his ski had taken for around a tiny dot which he recognized by its location to be his grandfather’s shoe-shop, black specks quickly gathered. He knew that perhaps that the stray ski entering the little village at awful, dizzying speed may have killed his grandfather. Ilis face grew white as he said. '‘Somebody, give me your skis, quick!” The boys, not understanding Martin’s action, refused. Martin, half crazed, tried to explain. Wildly, almost hysterically he said. Look! —my grandfather—perhaps he’s dead— the ski—oh, don’t you see? 46 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS I Ethel Braatcm — Thesms of the fathers shall descend upon the children.

Nobody thought of resisting Martin when he almost forcibly took a friend’s skis—long and slender, made of straight grained ash, the best pair in the group—from his feet, slipped his own under the straps and was oft like a flash. Down, down, he went. Faster, faster, faster he rode. This way and that, he twisted, avoiding the larger shrubs and rocks blocking the way. At times he leaped across snow banks and drifts and over tiny precipices, never hesitating, never falling. On, on. swifter and still swifter, on, down and still down, until he shot like a streak of lightning out into the valley and then the town, followed always by a flurry of snow which nearly concealed him from his friends. Into the town he streaked, turning this way. then that, at times banking his skis and sending great clouds of snow from him as from the skidding wheels of a racing auto, following accurately the twisting lanes of the village. At last he came to a stop. He sank down utterly exhausted and lay still for a few moments. Then, he leaped up and with muscles trembling with anxiety, rapidly he skied back into the village. He paused when he came within sight of his grandfather’s shoe shop, his heart turned sick within him. his hands hung, nerveless and cold, at his side. There before him he saw a crowd of people surrounding a great gaping hole in the new shop window. The people seemed greatly excited, some were shouting, some whispering to one another, but nearly all seemed to glance half fearfully, half eagerly up the mountain as though they expected something but did not know what. Martin wanted to go on to the shop but could not force himself from the spot. Then he saw—but was it he?—yes, it was his grandfather. He bounded forward with a glad cry. All eyes turned toward him. He skied up to his grandfather thru the crowd who opened a path for him and radiant with joy he clasped the old man’s hands in his own. The shoemaker looked at his grandson with his quiet, questioning eyes and pointing to a broken ski lying just inside the shop which the old man had recognized as one of Martin’s, he asked. W hat happened. Mart?” So Martin related what had happened. When he had finished his grandfather enthusiastically said. Nobody can ever call you a coward again. Mart, and 1 am proud of you. But.” he added, it was a fool thing to do and 1 never want to catch you trying such a thing again. Just see what you have done. That ski of yours broke my new window and pretty nearly killed me. It hit my shoulder a glancing blow inflicting a slight flesh wound, and.” he added with a smile, “if it had come two inches more to the left you would have been minus a grandfather.” Martin went home in a serious mood, oppressed with the thought that his grandfather had but narrowly escaped death at his hands. This mood did not possess him long, however. He was a hero in the eyes of the village. He held his head high, for those words of his grandfather’s, “nobody can ever call yon a coward again and I am proud of you.” kept ringing in his cars. William B.

He also had received very good marks for the first two months and had done very good work. But there was one failing that Tommy had, and that was being tardy. Much to the chagrin of his parents and the annoyance of his teacher, he came late to school many times during the month, and often late two or three times a week. Finally, matters came to such a crisis, that Tommy was told if lie came late again that month without sufficient reason he would be sent home for his parents. This rule made Tommy get there on time until one morning. Besides being very studious. Tommy was a very imaginative person. Most of the time that Tommy wasn’t studying, he was reading the latest novels, in which tlie hero always triumphed over the villain at the end of the story. Tommy, although very industrious in his lessons, always took time to read one of these novels, and imagined himself to be the daring hero in each one. The night before the fatal morning. Tommy, having done all his lessons, started to read the latest book he had got at the library. This proved to be such an interesting story, that he could not tear himself away from it until he had finished the last chapter. And then, breathing a deep sigh, he went to bed. The next morning. on the way to school, his thoughts turned back to the enthralling story he had read the night before. Unconsciously, he went over in his mind, the events of the novel, with himself taking the part of the hero; and unfortunately, this egoism gradually became his undoing. For—dashing up the stairs, he was just in time to see the villain run from a lighted fuse he had just lit. What? Was he even attempting this?—attempting to blow up the whole power plant? Without a moment’s hesitation, he felled the brute with a smashing blow. Quickly running to the fuse, at his own great peril, he put it out, but alas! It was too late! The plant had already caught lire—he must warn the employees! . . . The ship was slowly but surely till-ing up—he must get Marabelle to one of the life-boats before it was too late! But the mutinous crew had got there a minute before them and had taken the last boat. What were they to do—oh yes—the life raft. Half leading and half carrying the semi-conscious girl, he put her on the life raft, tying her fast. The ship gave a sickening lurch and was about to sink. But wait—thought 'Tommy,—he mustn’t forget the old captain, who was sticking by the ship till the last! Without delay, 'Tommy stumbled up the steps----------of the school and realized that he was late again. With a sickening feeling he entered and quailed at the thought of meeting the outraged teacher. An hour later. Tommy had resolved to spend his time to better advantage than reading novels, and to use his imagination to better purposes than to satisfy his egoism. John K. Sherman. Jan.

NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 51 ON RECITATION IXCE THE RECITATION'S, given before our class, have been such, as to pro- duce a mortifying case of melancholy, on the part of our teachers, 1 have en- deavored to ferret out the cause and in the process of my endeavors, came across a ponderous and dusty volume labelled, “Dr. Webster’s Dictionary. In it 1 found the definition of the word recitation, and to my astonishment, I found that it meant an elocutionary exhibition. I was dumbfounded. Here we had been giving such dignified addresses without even being aware that such was the fact. I grew at least two inches taller while contemplating my own new and aggrandized state. 1 now think I understand why so many pupils fail to recite well. Namely, because they do not know the dignified requirements of an elocutionary exhibition, and also because they are ignorant of the fact that they are giving an elocutionary exhibition. In reciting, one undergoes many divers feelings and passions; for instance, one’s heart has a peculiar way of pumping all one’s blood into one’s head, without any consideration for the fact that one’s face, under tho e conditions, acquires the tint of a Canadian sunset, or the shade of a Kentucky beet. Some pupils who appear before our class to deliver said exhibition, fail to do justice to that dignified occasion. These persons are more numerous in the female of the species than in the male. Many of them, during said performance, perpetrate breaches of decorum, which I have long noticed with interest, (although 1 am not interested in that direction). The little atrocities of which I speak is the display of the tongue at a point where the malefactor becomes excited by the continual flow of intelligence that she has thus far shown. Now. as a passive observer. I may give an unbiased opinion, and 1 hope (no matter who the offender) an opinion free from prejudice. This outrageous breach of decorum before an intelligent audience (no names being mentioned) neither enhances the discussion on hand nor ennobles or beautifies the speaker. And. as this is not a class in anatomy, I see no reason for the display of such organs as make up that study, and which have no direct bearing on our work in English. Then it suddenly occurred to me that the participations in this pastime were endeavoring to show their contempt for the victims, that is. those upon whom the offense is perpetrated. In closing. I wish to offer a few philosophical remarks and advices to the pupils in the English classes, who wish to succeed in their public speaking. First, be confident of your own knowledge on the subject, and also the ignorance of the audience. Secondly, scorn all physical display of criticism, unless it becomes too closely attached to your person in the material form. Thirdly, dazzle your hearers with as much unearthly language as you can muster, without doing any damage to your larynx. Fourthly, if they do not seem to comprehend your point, as they surely can not be expected to. smile as though it were a joke, and soon the whole assemblage will be laughing. Laughter is the only audible evidence of ignorance, so laugh with them. W e are learning. Harry Sushanskv.

We have been together for four years although it seems but a few months. We naturally permit our minds to wander back over the years when we first came together as a class. During that time we have passed through many experiences. Sometimes some of us have been so discouraged with the slow progress that we have made, that we were almost persuaded to leave school and pursue some other course outside of school. There have been some in this class who have done so. Although our experiences have been different, yet we have had some things in common, and these were our studies. Our thoughts have been about them as well a our conversations. Hut now we have finished. We have learned to know each other better as the years have rolled away, and while in the future we shall see little of most of our classmates, still the memories will continue to be with us, until we shall be required to lay down our burdens of care, to enter The Great School. While the purpose of our school life has been for studies yet we will never think of school without thinking of the social part of the school days. The ties of friendship formed in our school course will never be broken. We pray that they may be strengthened as the days roll on. Therefore let us forget the flaws in the characters of those whom we have been with and remember that their motives have been to help this class of ours. Berthold Hensel. Jan. 16. THE LONESOME GRADUATE The boy stood oil the old school steps, A lonesome lad was he; He had no one to guide his steps In this wide world so free. He looked upon a thousand isles. A thousand ways to fame; To try his best with earliest zest To gain an honest name. Before him lay a strange vast field. For glory or for had ; But he who to the tempter yields. Lives ever with the sad. And as he walked off from the steps, lie gripped his fists so tight: And slowly to himself resolved To light with all his might. Henry Geo. Spanicr.

But this green line etc., did develop and in the last game of the season even outplayed East Side Champions. Mason and Rogers outplayed their opponents practically at all times and very little ground was gained through their positions. 'file backfield. one of the fastest in years, seldom had time to get started, so weak was the line on offense. Captain Stone was the only one who did consistent work and even his brilliant open field running of last year was often missing on account of inability to get into the open. A serious injury to Taylor's shoulder. the first week of practice, so materially interfered with his playing that he was kept out of much of the competition. Stanch-field was shifted to end where he did some fine defensive work and showed his ability to handle forward passes. Seevers who worked in a quarter the last of the season proved to be a find considering his inexperience and should develop into a first class quarterback. At North, graduation always plays havoc with athletic teams but the outlook for the 1916 season seems so much brighter, for many of this year’s line will be back and will form a good nucleus around, which to build a winning team. This season was very much of a disappointment from the standpoint of games won but the fine exhibition of fight put up in the East-North game should be a great inspiration to the team of next year. E. R. Jackson. Coach. 68 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS NORTH vs. ALUMNI. In a drizzling rain, the Alumni administered an overwhelming defeat to our team. The score was 53 to 6. Haertel, Chicken. Hamilton and Blaustein starred for the Alumni, while the work of Captain Stone of the school team showed above that of his fellow-players. NORTH vs. ST. PAUL CENTRAL. Our team started this game with a rush, and made a touchdown in a few minutes. but were unable to hold the advantage because of the superior weight of the i Saintly crowd, and eventually we were defeated by a score of 26 to 14. Taylor and Stone starred for North. NORTH vs. CENTRAL. In the first scheduled game. North wiped the earth with their ancient enemy, and beat them by a score of 20 to 0. The team showed fine spirit. Mason and Captain Stone performed brilliantly for North. NORTH vs. WEST. The team went into this game with a lot of confidence, but soon lost it. as the men from West began to show their superiority. As a result, North lost to NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 69 West by a score of 34 t � 0. Mason at end played a great game, and Rogers played the best game of his career at center. NORTH vs. SOUTH. With a great improvement in fighting spirit. North went into this game to beat South. But South was too lucky for us. and got away with a 7 to 3 game. Seivcrs saved us from a shut out by a nice drop-kick. Stone and Mason also performed well. NORTH vs. DUNWOODY. North took Dun woody in camp by the tune of 19 to 0. in a hot practice game. Mattern’s men put up a great fight, but were forced to submit to the superior work of our team as a whole. NORTH vs. EAST. I'ndcr the leadership of Mason, North showed the best fighting spirit of the year, and although we were beaten, we were far from disgraced The score was 7 to 6 in East’s favor. The work of our line showed a great improvement over the early season work. Taylor and Eekberg starred in this contest. NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 71 BASKET-BALL A BASKETBALL tournament was arranged this year at North under the supervision of Mr. Conner, the gymnasium instructor. The preliminaries included eight teams and the finals will include only four teams as both the “A” and “B” classes will unite. The preliminaries were well played and the games seemed to create a feeling of good sportsmanship between the players. The “A” Seniors under the leadership of Captain Begin, combined with the wonderful playing of Mason, Segal, Martin, McGuirk and Noot were the winners of the preliminaries. The “A” Sophomores under the leadership of Captain Barrett were second, having lost only one game. In the finals the teams will be closely matched and some of the hardest fought games ever staged in the gymnasium are expected because the winners in the finals will he presented with numerals as an honor for their prowess. BASEBALL THE BASEBALL SEASON of 1915 ended disastrously. Although winning three games, and finishing ahead o: East and South, North ended one of its most disastrous seasons in high school baseball. The respective scores of the 1915 season’s games are as follows: On May 4. we played Central and were.trimmed to the tune of 8 to 1, both on account of injuries and lack of spirit in the team. On May 11. we played East, and were again defeated 6 to 3. The team showed a little more pep and kept the score down. On May IS. great joy was brought to coaches Leslie and Zittleman when recruit pitcher Smith defeated the champion West team 6 to 4. On May 19, the team aided bv the pitching of Matt Bugenstein defeated the South team by the score of 8 to 7 for the second victory of the season. The spirit of the school was now rising, and a great throng came to see Leslie’s Athletes attempt to trim Central. On that day Bugenstein was selected to throw the foolers for the North team, while Patten was on the mound for Central. In a pitching duel which ensued, luck played a big factor and our pitcher received the short end of the score which was 4 to 2. On June 3. East again defeated North 11 to 1. The team put up a ragged article of ball. June 10, West defeated North 7 to 1. June 11. South defeated us in the last game of the season by a score of 10 to 0. L. D. ’17. S. B. T7. TRACK PROSPECTS FOR 1916 Till'. PROSPECTS of a championship track team for next year are brighter than they have been for some time. North has always been handicapped on account of lack of candidates, but I think that we have now overcome this difficulty. In the last few years much has been done to interest and get the Freshmen out for track. There will be six old men from last year back, with almost an entire relay team from last year. Horace Taylor. Captain NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 73 THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE of North High School was organized last year. Its purpose is to help the girls to become better acquainted and especially to make the Freshmen girls feel more at home. One officer was elected from each class. Charlotte Jepson was elected from the Senior class as president. Marbry Duryea from the Junior class as vice-president. Florence Barnard from the Sophomore class as secretary, and Dorothy Strom from the Freshman class as treasurer. Different clubs were organized such as the Camera, Riding, Hiking. Sketching. Wild Flower, Seeing Minneapolis, Tennis, and Dramatic clubs. All these clubs are very active and the girls are benefited both mentally and physically. At the first meeting held. Maria Sanford sjK ke. It was a very helpful talk and the girls all appreciated hearing it. Light refreshments were served, and as is always the case where “eats” are at hand, a large number of girls were present. At the next meeting two plays were given bv the girls of the VI English classes. They were “Evangeline” and “I'vgmalian and Galatea.” There was a large response and thirty dollars ($30) were cleared. Having this money enabled the girls to have a Hallowe’en party. Each class was represented in the program. Five hundred girls were present and the party was a great success. Miss Stella Wood who is well known in Kindergarten work spoke at the next meeting. The work of the Girls’ League is not limited to the school building or its occupants but includes the accomplishing of any beneficial work. The Service (. ommit-tee of the League, delivered a Thanksgiving dinner furnished by some of the girls to a very needy family. There seems to be a great amount of good cheer that this branch of the Girls’ Organization can do. All this is only a beginning of the good work of the Girls’ League and we are sure that it will doubly increase under the helpful guidance of Miss Harris. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Tllb' LACK of any public performance by the Glee Club so far this term, might lead folks to imagine that our budding Carusos have temporarily lost their voices. Not so. however. The musical young gentlemen have been pegging away, spending valuable time and energy two periods a week in rehearsal, and even taking home the scores to learn between times, in some cases to masticate, judging bv the appearance of said scores on return. The Glee Club has made one satisfactory appearance on the evening of the Diamond Medal Prohibition Contest, which contest, by the way. one of its members won. A double quartet from the organization has done noble work, singing before Parents’ and Teachers’ Associations at grade schools. Meanwhile, we are gradually working up a large and varied repertoire, which we hope sometime to perpetrate upon an unsuspecting public. 74 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS Till! LITERARY SOCIETY during the past year and one-half, have put a new plan into operation, namely: that the lirst meeting of the month was to he a business meeting, and at the other, there was to he no business, except the reading of the minutes, but only the program which had been prepared for that meeting. We have endeavored to give our members experience in public speaking, by our inter-class debates, and declamatory contests, and especially, by extemporaneous speeches during each business meeting. These speeches have created quite some considerable excitement, and some heated arguments have ensued. We have also taken a parliamentary law study, in which the correct way of addressing the chair, putting a motion before the meeting, amending, and passing or rejecting it, was shown. Besides this we have had some very good programs in the Assembly Hall, and e Vry member of the school whose average is 80' or above is invited to join and help us in the future.

THE SCIENTIFIC CLUB THE SCIENTIFIC CLUB is an organization of the students interested in science. botany and everything of technical interest. The officers are, Fred Mc-Crea. president; Laura Merrit. secretary, Roy Maeder, treasurer, and Alger Ulstrom, sergeant-at-arms. Last year the club had a membership of about thirty but since the membership has been opened to freshmen and sophomores the membership has increased to about fifty. We have had interesting lectures on photography, the World’s Fair and other subjects in which the various members have been interested. The one great ambition of the club however is to get a wireless telegraph for North High. The other High Schools have wireless sets and it is up to the Scientific Club to get one for North. Our old set was almost entirely destroyed by the lire and, although it was not possible for the School Board to give us one this year, we hope through the co-operation of the Club and teachers, that our petition f� � r our new set may he granted next year.

THAT ANNUAL FACULTY CONCERT T F YOU DIDN'T GO to the Faculty Concert on Friday, the tenth oi December, | you missed a splendid program and an enjoyable evening well spent. 1 want to tell you right now that I for one didn’t know we had such remarkable dramatical and musical ability right in our very midst. The Faculty Glee Club gave us a number of very fine selections, and the Po-laris Quartet was especially enjoyed in “Mrs. Cosy’s Hoarding House.” Both Mr. Carr and Mr. W illiams were enthusiastically applauded after singing a number of well-selected solos. The two-act comedy, “Mrs. Oakley’s Telephone,” was a great success. Praises and congratulations have been ringing from one side of Minneapolis to the other for the clever playing of the ladies of the faculty who took part. Miss Helen K. Blaisdell as Mrs. Oakley certainly created a sensation. It was impossible to believe she was a school-teacher. Indeed, she didn’t look a day over twenty! And talk about costumes! One gown in particular of gold satin, decorated with black Maltese lace was very chic—but then—it came from Paris. Miss Laura Henry, as Miss Constance, a friend of Mrs. Oakley played her part remarkably well. She managed to get out of a rather awkward situation by a smile when she felt more like crying. Miss Mary Harris, as Mary, the cook, made a great hit. She was what you’d call funny, not just plain funny, but humorously funny, which is saying a great deal in this day and age of the world. Just ask her to tell you how she twisted two telephone numbers and turned into an emerald. Miss Dikka Reque, as Emma, the maid was just splendid. Wonder it she’s heard from Adolph recently! Miss Brown, business manager, certainly deserved her bouquet if anyone ever did for the time and labor she spent in managing the play. Miss Norman, as accompanist, is sincerely to be thanked for the interest she took in the concert, helping to make it the success it was. All of the teachers deserve our praise and best wishes for devoting their valuable time to this clever little comedy and to the concert, and for making the entertainment such a success. Hats off! boys and girls, to the teachers of the faculty. H. A. B. June 16. 78 JANUARY 1916 POLARIS AN APPRECIATION A GREAT FEELING of indebtedness has been weighing upon our minds of late and as we are opposed to the principles of non-payment, vve wish, at this point, to make a settlement. To Miss Leet we owe a great part of the success this book may have attained. She deserves a great deal for having kept up the enthusiasm of the board at a very high pitch. The editors wish to thank her in behalf of the January Class of 1916 for the line spirit of co-operation she has instilled in us: and we hope that she continues to aid in turning out successful magazines. To Miss Brockway and her understudies, vve take this opportunity of attempting t show our appreciation of the assistance that she has given us in the building up of this hook. W e all do heartily thank her. To Mr. Pollard, we extend our thanks for his aid in keeping records of our finances. To Mr. John Sherman—Each and every individual would just as soon see him shot at sunrise, when vve gaze upon the countenances of our beautiful. “Prospects,” and think of what is in store for us. But as a class we can but admire, and mete out his ji t reward for the excellent work which he has done for the Polaris. From those whom we have mentioned and all others who have aided our work. I fear we could not demand a receipt, for words fail us in such an appreciation, as we wish to show. The Editors. Oar “(laics’’ NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Popularity Contest Winners Senior Class William L.

This Polaris attempts to record recent North High history. I am quite sure that the editorial staff and faculty manager of the Polaris realize that the school annual deals with the history of the school year and incidentally with the past years. It allows the more facetious to write history in advance or indulge in prophecy to our amusement and a pleasant reminder of our foibles. I congratulate the class supporting this annual and anticipate that the ability shown in this book may be a true index of their future spirit and accomplishment. May their interest in the North High never fail and may they ever be proud of their school. Peruse this volume with kind eyes and loyal spirit. Speak a word of congratulation to all who have made its success a reality. Personally my best wishes go with the class as they join the noble band of more than two thousand alumni who are already in the great school of the world’s activities. Sincerely. WALDO WARREN HOBBS. A WORD FROM THE EDITORS The North Star, ‘‘The Polaris.” has risen! The Polaris Editors submit the book without comment. We do not care to say that it is the “best ever. but it is as good as continuous hard work has been able to accomplish. There has been many changes in the make up of the book, but they have been made in an effort to get away from the cut and dried methods which usually enter into an issue of this kind. The book is the only written record we leave. If the classes in the future like our issue, we hope it will be looked upon as an example, if not, we only hope that classes to come will rectify our mistakes. This book has been made up not by experts at the game, but only by amateurs. If there is any credit to be given, much of it must go to Miss Leet, our faculty adviser and to Miss Brockway, our art critic.

Yes, I came to tell you all about my journey. Never had a better time in my life. The train left about 7 a. m. and while I sat wondering whether or not I should meet any of my friends, here comes Sam Rothenberg all fitted out in a conductor’s suit. I recognized him immediately. He handed me a newspaper. I took it gladly and as my eyes wandered down the page I read in big head lines, “Miss Sween, Well Known Society Leader, Elopes with a College Youth. This and many other things absorbed my interest and before I knew it the conductor called out Dreamville, my destination. I jumped off the train quickly to see what all the noise was about and here was Albert Aschenbeck and Eugene Bofferding using their vocal chords to the best of their ability: Bus right here, lady. Right this way, lady. 1 mounted Mr. Bofferding’s bus and in about fifteen minutes we arrived at the Smith-Clyde Hotel (named after the proprietor). To my surprise, Nathan Levin came running out to carry in the baggage. Upon making myself acquainted with the place where I was to spend a few days, I noticed a young lady dusting. I walked up to her and recognized her as Cecelia Frank, my old schoolmate. She informed me that Bernadette Gervais, Anna Bolin, and Adella Eppel had all chosen this line of work and that they spent many happy hours together. I wished to make a very brief visit in this little town so I started out in the morning to take in the sights. As I walked along Main Street, I noticed many familiar names, such as The Waisbren Hair Dressing Parlors, Manicurist, Margaret Delany; Blacksmith Shop, Leroy Johnston, proprietor; Stanley's Fancy Dancing Academy, and so on. Walking still farther on I noticed Mae Nelson hoeing potatoes in the field. I called to her and after overcoming the shock of seeing me she finally invited me to come in and have a cup of tea. 1 was very soon informed that she was no longer Mae Nelson but Mrs. E. Rieflin and that married life was the life for her. Soon after 1 left Mae, I noticed the school house, and having heard that so many of my friends taught there I went in to find them. Sure enough, here was Adeline Logefeil teaching German; Laura Merritt, Latin; Alice Mann, Spelling; Ila Martin, Gymnasium; Loraine Shannessy, English; and Jacquetta Ferguson, Civics; with Mr. McGandy acting as principal. After a chat with each one I left the building and noticed Lawrence Cohn sweeping the sidewalk. I took it for granted that he had obtained a position as janitor. I continued my walk down Broadway, as it was called. On the left 1 noticed an undertaking establishment with the name of Rosengren and Bofferd- 34 ORTH HIGH C, ing painted on the window, and, in smaller letters, Sadie Frindell, Lady Assistant. Nearby lived the village dressmaker. Myrtle Miller. To the right was the Hutchens, Hamack, Nelson Studio for vocal music and elocution, and the Harry Smith pool room, with tailor, L. Weisberg, occupying the rooms above. On the corner of Broadway and Fifth Street the bank was located. I had already received the information that Donald Rogers was president and Pearle Gisselquist. cashier, so I walked right on hoping to meet some one that was not so busy. I noticed a large crowd gathering about two blocks ahead of me so I ran to see what the excitement was. Here was Sam Maslon. the movie man, taking pictures. 1 recognized several of the actors and actresses as Melba Gislason, Ruby Frank, Laura Halloran, Isadore Goldberg, and Clarence Johnson. Later 1 got ready for the theater. 1 had walked only a few blocks when I heard some one calling, Fresh popcorn! Roasted peanuts! with an awful voice. 1 looked around and here was Henry Schultz shaking the popcorn popper and yelling at the top of his voice. On account of the short time I spoke just a few words and went on. At the theater 1 bought my ticket from Fannie Lifchits and was ushered to my seat by Dave Waldron (who apparently had had some experience in a larger theater). I noticed he was not the only usher, but also Moses Kopeika and Edward Leef had chosen this elevating position. The orchestra was already playing A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. so I hurried and got settled. Max Sachs. Roy Maeder, and Hubert Person were in the orchestra. The first act included the two musical darlings, Dorothy Hollister and Ruth Farnham. The second act was a playlet entitled. He Thought He Was Somebody, with Cary Donaldson in the leading role and Cecile Curtis. Florence Calder, Fern Wonderly, Claire Haight, Algot Soderlund, and Harry Bloom acting the minor parts. The third act consisted of acrobatic stunts performed by Gladys Adams and Edna Hamilton, advertised as the most daring girls in the country. The fourth act was the beauty chorus composed of Grace Bentley, Emily Ehle. Elsie Streed, Gladys Yike, Jeanette Green, Dena Gottstein, and Sylvia Hartig. Last but not least was the famous Bleecker kazoo band, known world-wide, with Jack Bleecker leading. The remainder of the band was composed of Edward Jones, Walter Stremel and Arthur Flanagan. Finally 1 got to my room and it certainly seemed good to me because I was very tired. Now, Mr. Gates, you have heard of my delightful journey from beginning to end, so 1 believe I’ll have to run right on. ELLEN OLSON. June 16. 35 m THE 191 36 POLARIS QUARTET First Tenor—A. W. Hurd.

It was organized last November under the direction of our musical instructor, Mr. R. N. Carr. This is the only high school band in the city; the other high schools have orchestras, but North, well known for its musical ability for some years past, has acquired enough talent to support a band in addition to its orchestra. The first public appearance of the band was in January, when it rendered an assembly-period program. The band also furnished music at the North-East debate, and all but one of the track meets. The band started out with eleven members and has since grown to nineteen. A band, as you know, contains no string instruments, the air being carried by the cornets and clarinets. The present members of the organization are: Director. R. N. Carr; solo cornet, Schwartz; cornets, Friedman. Sell, Volkart. Nyvall. Pettigrew: trumpet, Hagstrom; clarinets. Ganzer, Boy-lan, Johnson; flute, Maeder; piccolo. Peterson, Greenstein; trombone, Jensen: baritone, Strunk; bass. Luce; snare, Hubbcll; base drum, Zingol. 43 DEBATERS Top Row - Mythic Henry.

According to the Hon. E. J. it was the best in years. The spirit was different. Usually when the call went out. a number of debaters responded, but when the really serious part of the season commenced, many began to drop out. This year twenty candidates showed up. The question for the season was: “Resolved, that the United States should materially increase its army and navy. The first debate was held at Cokato, December I 7. Bruce Russell. Lawrence Cohen, and Sam Maslon respresented North on the negative side of the question. This was the first league debate and the decision was unanimously in favor of North. After the debate, the boys and Mr. Gasink were guests of the seniors of the Cokato High School at an oyster supper. On January 14. Duluth Central came to Minneapolis to return our visit of last year. North was represented in this debate by Ruth Scvon, Harlan Nygaard. and Sam Maslon. The debate was very closely contested up to the last, when Jacob Garon. of Duluth, stampeded the judges by a clever piece of prepared rebuttal. Two weeks later Milton Kodas. Bruce Russell, and Sam Maslon debated at Cambridge on the affirmative. The judges seemed to disapprove of North and voted for the negative. The attitude found here from the time of our arrival was in striking contrast to that at Cokato. The last debate of the season was with East High of this city. Bruce. Rose Fcigleman, and Sam traveled across the river ar.d showed the small number who attended the debate that we really had a great team. They didn’t seem to appreciate it much, but we won just the same. The splendid spirit shown, the large number of students who benefited by the work and the cordial support given the team made the work this year worth while regardless of the decisions. The interscholastic season was officially closed March 20 when Mr. Hobbs presented the pins to the team. Sam Maslon was given the added honor of wearing the felt N for debate in token of his splendid scholarship and excellent debate record. 45 L I THE POLARIS MONTHLY STAFF John Hubbell Laura Merritt Editor-in-Chief Literary Editor DEPARTMENT EDITORS School News..................................

It is the most efficient in equipment, in management, in service, and in food preparation in the city, and when we come to look at it from a commercial viewpoint, we can also say that it supplies its patrons with daily luncheons cheaper than they can be supplied from the individual home. The history of our lunch room, as viewed from the standpoint of the larger number of its patrons, namely the Freshmen, goes back to ancient history. A description of this institution is found in the Walla-Ka-Zoo, one of the earliest works, which treats this subject as it existed “before the fire.” The Walla-Ka-Zoo of 1901 says, By permission of the Board of Education a small vacant room on our first floor was fitted up with a gas range and kitchen utensils, left-overs from the days when cooking was taught in the Logan school. Three long wooden counters on rollers, varying in length from ten to fifteen feet, were provided by the shop. A competent woman was hired to do the work, that is. butter buns, make sandwiches and set the food out on the counter—and the North High Lunch Counter was ready to do business.” Such were the small beginnings of this institution when bank clearings for a period of many months never reached beyond $6 per day. Now this seems insignificant, for at the present time we take in ninety dollars a day and on rush days one hundred and thirty. The supervision of this institution is in the hands of a faculty committee, of which Miss Hermine R. Konig is general manager, a position she has occupied since the lunch service was organized. But even managing boards are not able to run the lunch counter alone so we have a corps of cooks, of which Mrs. Lydia Smith is the head. A student committee of servers. under the leadership of J. Victor Coveil, completes the general staff of this school organization.

One of the most beneficial organizations of North High is the Scientific Club. To one technically and mechanically inclined it affords a source of knowledge in scientific lines which would be difficult for one to obtain otherwise. In fact this is the purpose of the club, and for this accomplishment Mr. Hurd and the scientific teachers have given much labor. When the club was first organized it was only open to Seniors and Juniors, but now all classes are eligible. So we have invited every member of the school whose average is 80 per cent or above to form the Scientific Club. The officers of the club are: President—Lawrence Cohn. Treasurer—Arthur Boylan.

He had youth, talent, and what is called ■‘smartness,” but he lacked one of the big things that make success—he lacked honesty. In college he had made a brilliant reputation, though openly boasting of his ability to put one over” on the professors. Now as debate coach of Stadium High, he was facing a hard problem. The debate between Stadium and Eagle Lake was the championship debate of the year. Much depended on whether he would be able to lead his team to victory, but at present the prospect looked dubious. The debaters seemed unable to write speeches that clearly set forth their points, and Fitch stormed and pleaded in vain. Then came temptation 1 At first he resisted it. but neither character nor habit had fitted him for prolonged resistance. The night of the big debate came! Both schools were well represented in the assembly room. The hall buzzed with whisperings, above which the orchestra was occasionally heard. Then appeared the debaters! Stadium, having the affirmative, opened the debate. The ease and fluency of the debater's speech aroused some wonder among the students and one of the judges was observed to smile wisely. The first speaker from Eagle Lake next came forward. His speech was of the usual high school type, good but not remarkable. All through the debate the same difference was seen. The Stadium debaters seemed to carry all before them with clear-cut arguments and polished speeches, such as would do credit to older heads. Exulting in what was thought a sure victory. Stadium chanted school yells while the judges conferred upon the decision. In an almost incredibly short time the principal returned with the results, three to nothing in favor of Eagle Lake! For a moment there was a stunned silence. Then shouts of protest arose from the Stadium adherents. With a sign for silence. Professor Mayfair, of Harding College, arose and addressed them. You think our decision unjust and prejudiced. But your principal will tell you that while there has been dishonesty connected with the debate we aimed to balance it by an honest decision.” The students understood and so did Harvey Fitch. Filled with shame he left the room. The next day he received a letter from the board of education, requesting his resignation for reasons unassigned. Then facing the ruin of his prospects, he learned what he had failed to learn years before, that honesty is the best policy.” Helen Lathrop, 17. JUNE. Slowly ‘cross the western hills Plods a figure, bent and weary; Farewell. we call with heavy hearts, Farewell to May. and all is dreary. Welcome, joyous June. we cry. Comes someone gaily singing. But blithely o’er the eastern hills, ‘‘With your happy June bells ringing.” Now hearts are once more light and cheery. Laughter echoes far and near. No one thinks of May’s departure. But cries of June are all we hear. Margaret Sundquist, 18. 54 TO NATURE. Nature, thou great artist. Beauty’s lovely daughter. Author of Earth’s verdure. Ocean’s mighty water. Painter of the dawn, the sunset and the field, Of the clear blue sky. of purity Earth’s shield. Through thee doth the cold, damp earth sweet, fresh life yield. Great, almighty (unseen) power, ancient and eternal. Queen supreme of realms celestial and infernal. Life alike of dark and daylight, shine and shower. Spirit, thou, of hill and valley, tree and flower, Why do man and bird and beast before thee cower? Thou art endless, stern, inevitable (mighty) force, rhou dost guide the planets in their ceaseless course 'Mid the mighty forests there are paths untrod. And through (the) years and ages, on we mortals plod. But thou art everlasting; Nature, thou art God. Miriam Huhn, ’ 18. THE WORK OF TIME. The shadows deepen in the sky. The light begins to fade away. The shades of night are drawing nigh, It is almost gone, this fleeting day. The opportunities are gone. Perhaps some unimproved. The work that should have now been done Is left alone, unmoved. Alas! how fast that time doth go, It snatches from the mother’s arms Her tiny babe, and robs from him His innocence and childish charms; It rushes him into manhood. And paints upon his face Anxiety and cares of life, How deep the heavy trace! Then, by and by, upon his head A gray hair steals its way. The prime of life. alas, is past, Ere long his head is gray. His once bright eyes have now grown dim, Age creepeth surely on. He lingers, just a moment more; And he is gone. Ruth Olney, '18. 55 I 56 TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OF NORTH HIGH. If anyone of us had seen the site of the first North High school at the time the school was built we could not have imagined the great changes which were destined to come to this North Side institution in the next twenty-five years. Mr. Greer, the first principal, describes the vicinity of the school in these words: There was nothing in sight but woods, squirrels and a number of cows drinking leisurely from the quiet waters of Todd’s pond (our present athletic field). The North High school was organized in January, 1889, in what is now the Logan school with an enrollment of thirty-five. Under the enthusiastic and efficient work of John Greer, the principal, now of Central, it rapidly grew in spite of all obstacles. Physics. Botany and Chemistry rooms were equipped, a literary society organized, and athletics introduced. Inside of two years many pupils had left Central, the oldest and at that time the best high school in the city, for our North High. At the close of the second year the first class, sixteen in number, were graduated in 1892. Mr. Greer left the school he had organized to become principal of Central. Mr. Hobbs, then superintendent of schools at Worthington, Minn., was offered the principalship of North High. He accepted and began his duties in the fall of 1892. At that time there were about one hundred seventy pupils and thirteen teachers in the high school department. These students occupied about one-half of Logan school. In October, 1896, came one of the great steps in the growth of the school when the work was transferred to the new North High building on the site of the present school, where the eight grades as well as the high school students of the North Side were accommodated for several years. This building was rather small when compared with our new building, but was large enough to meet the demands. It had thirteen class assembly or study rooms, eight recitation rooms, a library, and an assembly hall which seated about 900 besides the laboratories, shops and drawing rooms. There were tables in the upper hall, where reference work could be done. The first floor hall was utilized as a lunch room. In the early history of North High it is recorded that the pie and cake wagon had been accustomed to make a daily stop at North High school. The need was soon felt for a regular lunch service and in 1901 a scheme was worked out by which all persons connected with the school could be fed. The food was placed upon three small counters, which were taken care of by the students, every pupil in the school being required to serve time. In the spring of 1902 the North High School Debating Society was organized. While this has not lived as a separate organization until the present time, still its influence may be seen in the present Literary Society. 57 From the time when there first was a North High, music has had its place there. It has often been said that North High has never held other than first rank with other schools of the state in music. The first chorus was directed by Miss C. E. Adams, now at Central. Many members of the old chorus have made success in music after leaving school. Among them may be noted George Spellman, Albert Abernethy, Garfield Stegner, Sarah Brooks. Miss De Laittre, who later became supervisor of music of the Rochester. N. V., schools, and Miss Maud Lambert, who entered grand opera in New York. Following the chorus came several other musical organizations. In 1900 North was able to boast of an orchestra of nine pieces. In 1902 the Glee Clubs were proving themselves successful, and in 1904 the Male Quartet was formed. The latter is still in existence although only one of the number, Mr. Davis, is with us now. Mr. Hurd. Mr. Tenney and Mr. Williams have taken the place of Lee Galloway, Fridtiof Anderson and William Chandler, together with Mr. Davis. On June 18. 1913, perhaps the saddest event in the history of North High occurred. The old building was destroyed by fire just two days before graduation. The commencement program was given at the West High school auditorium. The year of 1913-1914 was spent in the Old Central building. While North was laboring under great difficulty the school spirit never sagged. It might be said, however, that no one was sorry to be back in new North High in September, ’ I 4. Of the events of the past two years there is much to be said. The new building, with its fine shops, gymnasiums, auditorium, lunch room and science departments, offers a great opportunity for work. The chorus classes were discontinued at Old Central, but were reorganized under the direction of Samuel Morse. Athletics played a strong part in the school events. The city football championship came to North in 1914 for the first time in several years. A Carrier, Begin. Haertel or a Pipple does not come to the rescue every year, however, and our luck has not been so good since. In January, 1915, a Scientific Club was organized. A new Girls’ League has arisen and is doing a great deal toward the welfare of the school as a whole. A study system has been adopted by which teachers and pupils alike are benefited. This is briefly the history of North High school from the time when there were thirty-five students to the time when we have one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five; from the time when thirteen teachers sufficed, to the present, when over seventy are not enough; from the time when North was the smallest and least important of all to the time when it can be called second to no high school in the city. Laura Merritt, ' 1 6. 58 HIGH SCHOOL THE CIRCUS. The big Barnum and Baily circus was coming to town the next day. so my big sister decided to take me with her to se the lions, tigers and bears. The next morning, we arose early, dressed and started down town to see the circus parade. It was a very warm day and if it rained it surely would be a bad day for a circus, but would make the day much cooler and refreshing. The parade came down the street headed by mounted policemen, and then the usual participants, which make up a circus, followed. After the parade ended, we took a car for the circus grounds and arrived there in twenty minutes. There, already, were many people on the grounds surveying the various kinds of animals. It began getting windy, so we bought tickets for one of the side shows. There were many interesting sights to see, the fattest woman in the world, the smallest man, the largest horse and a hundred-and-one others equally good. After taking in all the side shows we cared for, we paid admission to the main tent where there were many thrilling aerial feats exhibited. Jess Willardt cowboy, champion heavyweight boxer of the world, sparred a few rounds. By five o’clock, the circus ended, so we left the tent for home. It was raining fiercely, and also thundering and lightning severely. We started to run for a street car, but suddenly a fearful, shuddering thunder shook the earth, and at the same time, a stroke of lightning flashed across the sky. It dazed me, and I yelled aloud, but no one seemed to hear me. It was raining blindly. I could not see my sister, so I ran towards the other side of the street. Half way across, I stumbled and fell unconscious in front of a street car. The next thing I remember was a nurse bending over me. She told me to lie still, and not talk. I inquired for my sister and was told she was lying in the next room, having a serious attack of nervousness. My parents visited me the same day and told me I could go home with them immediately. So I dressed, and bidding my sister good-bye, went home. The next day, my sister came home. That night we all seated ourselves around the dining room table. My father told us that when I was crossing the street, a flash of lightning stunned me, and left me unconscious. Two men carried me into a nearby drug store, and then I was taken in an ambulance to a hospital. My sister suffered, he told us, in the same way I did, but she was taken to the same hospital in a different ambulance. We were all very thankful that we were not hurt severely, but, to this day, I can remember that sunny circus morning and that dark circus evening. 59 Meyer Cooperman, ’ 19. THEY WgK tHEN— THE E ARE NOW 60 WHAT THE A SENIORS HAVE DONE IN THE SOCIAL LINE. As this is going to be a chronological story of the social history of the graduating class, let us start from the beginning, by which we mean when we were Juniors. Here are some of the things the A Seniors have done during their high school career to build up their social standing: Our first social event in high school was a Hard Time Mixer held Nov. 5, 1914, in the girls' gymnasium. Dancing took up most of the evening. The happy crowd departed at the final hour, 1 I p. m.. with the strains of “Home, Sweet Home. Although most of us were a little bashful, we started our social activities with plenty of pep. A skating party was our last B Junior event and was held on a cold, dreary night, Jan. 29, 1915. We skated at North Commons, with Miss McAlmon as chaperone, until we were exhausted. Most of us were carried to the school, where hot lunch revived us. There was one social event which Jack Bleecker will probably remember as long as he lives. That was the Box Lunch party, which was held April 7, 1915, in the usual place, the girls' gym. The girls prepared box lunches and auctioned them off in the lunch room. Jack Bleecker was the “goat. When an innocent box. filled with wieners, dog-biscuits and limburger cheese, was held up for auction. Jack drew it, much to his sorrow. After watching Jack consume said lunch we departed, most of us for home. ■ Our Class Picnic. Time—June 20. 1915. Place—Minnehaha Falls. Chaperones—Mrs. Bleecker, Mr. and Mrs. Gisselquist and Mrs. Mott. The main feature of the picnic was the “eats, to which everyone did justice. Baseball and races featured the afternoon program. A cloudburst along toward dark sent most of the class scampering for shelter, which, for most of us, was home. 62 MMORTH HIGH XCHOOLci A Masquerade Nov. 20, 1915. A masquerade was our first Senior party and was probably the most successful social event ever given in the gym. About ninety members of the class turned out, all dressed in nifty costumes. Leon Bakst certainly did not have anything on us for color schemes, for there were clowns, milk maids, dancers and hoboes galore. The evening was spent in dancing and playing games, after which we adjourned to the lunch room. You know what happened there. Mid-Winter Picnic. If you don’t think there are any cold-blooded boys and girls in our class you should have been at our Mid-Winter Picnic, chaperoned by Miss Henry and Mr. Williams. With the temperature hovering way below the zero mark, the boys and girls appeared in their summer costumes and had a great time in the gym. This was held January 29. 1916. The Leap Year Party. One We Never Had! ! ! The Junior Ball. You’ve sure got to hand it to the Juniors when it comes to staging Junior balls. They gave the Seniors one of the finest receptions put on for some time at the Girl’s Gymnasium. It was held January 7. 1916. The committee worked more than a month getting things ready. The colors, green and white, predominated in the decorations. The Grand March was led by Miss Wilson. Gladys Dahl distributed programs which called for twelve dances. Music was furnished by remnants of the North High Orchestra. The Patrons and Patronesses were: Mr. Hobbs. Miss Wilson, Miss Henry, Mr. Craig, Mr. Robbins. Mr. Williams. Mrs. Wilkinson. Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Amland, Mr. and Mrs. Dahl. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, and Mrs. Weber and Mr. Stanchfield. The arrangements for the reception were in the hands of the following B and A Juniors: Howard Stanchfield, Earl Rydell, Florence Weber, Howard Amland. Gladys Dahl, and Winslow Kelly. The Seniors do now and have since thanked those who were in charge of the Junior Ball for the time shown them on this January night. Claire Haight. 16. 63 COME OK SEVEN JOE AND PETE . THREE DAMES FATHER TE THE HI GH MOCUl A6NREUS ERIENP - VACATION DAYS Tr-T 64 1916 TRACK SEASON. North-East Meet. North started its 1916 track season in grand style by trouncing East in a dual meet by a score of 47 to 30. North’s men showed mid-season form by taking seven out of a possible nine first places. Sachs and Kelly starred for North, together making 29 points. Kelly showed exceptional form in the mile event by making it on our small track in 3:21. He won the half mile event in easy fashion by making a pretty sprint on the last three laps. This race was the feature of the meet. Sachs proved to be the individual point-getter of the day by piling up three first places in the 70-yard. 220-yard, and 440-yard dashes. Sachs was in great form. Besides taking three firsts he gave us a big lead in the relay, but his lead was lost by succeeding runners and East just won the relay by inches. The City Meet. The City meet, which was held in the National Guard Armory Annex, was a disappointment to North followers in most respects. Kelly, our star half-miler and miler, did not compete on account of sickness. The Armory floor was in poor condition. No records were broken. Central ran away with this meet, taking seven first places with the relay and enough second and third places to make a total of 49 points. West, picked as a winner, took second place. North took third place with twenty-one points, with East close behind with sixteen. South was last with one point. Richards, Sachs, and Stone scored all of North’s points, 21. Richards took first place in the shotput. Stone first in the broad jump and second in the shotput. while Sachs took second in the 440 and first in the 220-yard dash. Central Wins at St. Thomas. At the Twin City meet, which was held at St. I homas. Central of Minneapolis again showed their superiority in track. Central took eight first places, one second, and one third, for a total of 44 points, more than doubling their nearest rival. West. Again the feature of the meet was the good work of the East tracksters. who finished third. St. Paul Central was fourth and North was fifth. Scoring for North were Sachs, who was tied for second place in the 440-vard dash; Stone, who took second in the running broad jump and third in the shotput. Flanagan, by a pretty sprint, took second in the mile and made a good showing against such a wide field of runners. Outside of the attendance record there were no marks broken. 66 Freshman-Sophomore. North held its Freshman-Sophomore track meet April 12 and some very promising material was brought to light. The Freshmen won the meet with 50 points, while the Sophomores could only collect 32. Smock and Nelson starred for the Sophomores, while the stars for the Freshmen were numerous. Nelson took first in the high jump with five feet three, while Smock altogether scored fourteen points. Richards, a Freshman, scored the highest number of points, taking three firsts, a second and a fourth, for nineteen points. He was the individual star of the meet. Others of the Freshmen who looked good were Batdorf, who won the half-mile event in good time; Gleason, Mullin, Dunlap and Schultz. THE INTEREST IN BASKETBALL. A hard-fought year is the way the 1915-16 basketball season can be described. The games were all bitterly contested and usually the winners were not determined until the last minute of play. From the B Freshmen to the A Seniors the teams were evenly matched. The season opened with a rush, the A Juniors being considered sure winners under the leadership of Howard Stanchfield. The team was composed of Howard Stanchfield, Kenneth Stone, Bronson. Pool and Loss. The A Seniors, through the excellent playing of Segal and Mason, captured the class championship. The team was made up of Captain Begin. Mason. Segal, McQuirk and Martin. Although great interest was shown in the inter-class games, the interfaculty games between North and Central were just as interesting. The North faculty team, composed of Pask, Connor, Jackson. Zittleman, Williams, Pemberton and Tenney, proved that as pedagogues they were great basketball players. The first game, which was played at the North gym. resulted in a walkaway for the North profs. 44 to I 4. The second game, at Central, was a real one. The Central guards watched our star forwards. Pask and Connor, with great results. The game ended in a victory for North. 19 to 18. Taken all in all. the North High basketball fans viewed enough good games to last them until next year. 67 68 ORTH CONNOR AND PASK. With the coming of L. M. Connor and C. H. Paske gymnasium work at North assumed a greater interest. These two men have put many interesting ideas in practice in the gymnasium. The classes have been divided into smaller groups with a squad leader, one of the boys, at the head of each group. I his idea has put great vigor in the boys, as each sought to be a squad leader. Many other improvements have been noted in our gymnasium. Mr. Connor and Mr. Paske have also put great interest in faculty athletics. Mainly through their work the North High faculty won the high school faculty basketball championship of the city. North has also a great faculty indoor baseball team with the help of these two athletes. Both men came from Oberlin College, the famous eastern college. Both worked their way through school. Mr. Connor was born at Milford Center, Ohio, and graduated from the village grade school. In 1907 he graduated from the Marysville (Ohio) High School. He then worked for two years and in 1909 entered the college of Oberlin. Graduating in 19 I 3 he obtained a position at Sewickley, Pa., as a gymnasium instructor, working there until North High obtained him in the fall of 1913. Mr. Paske was born at Norfolk, Nebraska. In 1909 he graduated from the Austin High School, Chicago. He entered Oberlin College that same year and was graduated in 1913 with the degree of A. B. It is interesting to note that that summer he succeeded in making a trip to England, going both ways on his own resources. In the latter part of 1913 he came to Minneapolis, and was employed as gymnasium instructor in the Clay and Rosedale grade school, until he came to North the second semester of this term. Both men have done good work for North. Both will doubtless do more good work. The June class of 1916 extend their heartiest wishes to Mr. L. M. Connor and Mr. C. H. Paske. C H. Pa.ke 69 HOCKEY AS COACH SANTEE SEES IT. Hockey has long been considered an inferior branch of athletics; it has been what might be termed a poverty sport ; it has been shunned and actually avoided by pampered youths who think it too strenuous form of exercise for winter weather. For this reason, hockey has been unpopular, unsupported and unnoticed by the majority of the faculty and student body. The games were played practically without an audience. Each year has produced its good players, but for several years past no games have been won by North High. The past season our team won three of the eight games and lost the remaining five by only small margins. Beginning with nearly all new material, a team was developed which, with better equipment and more practice, would have undoubtedly been a championship team. A spirit of unity and co-operation prevailed, such as is essential in the development of a team of any sort and few athletic teams have shown more progress than the hockey team of North High during the past season. The hockey N men are: Thomas Comer. Harold Worrell, Garfield Benson, Roy Kammcrer, Clifford Benson, Cyrus Passolt and Philip Malmsten. 70 BASEBALL SEASON. The 1916 baseball season was one of the most disastrous seasons in years. Starting with a team of willing, but inexperienced players. Coach Leslie could not get perfect teamwork, although one or two individuals showed up brilliantly. The first game with Central proved a walkaway for the Red and Blue school. Central took advantage of all North's misplays and by hitting the ball hard came out an easy winner. The score was 18 to 0. Except for the playing of Hemple, who fielded perfectly and made North’s only hit, the game was featureless. A week later the North players engaged South at the Northside Park. Volbrecht started pitching for North. After pitching excellent ball for three innings he weakened. Bugenstein then took his place. The South players hammered him to all corners of the lot. scoring seven runs in one inning. He was replaced by Lind in the eighth, who pitched fair ball. Again the score was one-sided. I 6 to 1 in favor of South. Coach Leslie realized now that the team needed practise, that poor teamwork was the cause of the defeats. Accordingly, he hunted for practise games and obtained two, one with the Harrison Grade School, and one with the University High School. The Harrison game was easy for North. I he grade school players lost all confidence in themselves, while North played as champions. Lind and Vollbrecht pitched for North and both showed up well. The score was 1 2 to 0. The whole North team played great ball in this game. North’s second practise game was with University High. This team was known as a two-man team. These men were Pitcher Bonde and Third-baseman Higi. By these two players North High was defeated. 9 to 4. Lind started pitching for North, but gave way to Smith, who was hit quite freely. North again showed lack of teamwork in this game. Then came the second Central game. The North players had practiced long and hard for this game and were confident of making a good showing. North hardly expected to win. The game showed a great improvement in North’s play. Lind pitched much better ball than any North hurlcr previous to this game. But North again lost. II to I. The season has been disastrous, but every cloud has a silver lining. North’s silver lining” is the fact that North will practically have the same team next year. With the experience gained this year, North is sure to have a team of near championship calibre in 1917. 71 BASE BALL TEAM THE 1916 POLARIS TOBY. Once upon a time, long ago, when Mr. Hobbs was a little shaver, there lived a boy whose name was Toblin Davis. Now Toby was a very, very lazy boy. In fact, he was the very personification of laziness. One very warm day the boys, who lived in the same flat with Toblin, were going swimming. As Toblin was a good swimmer, the boys asked him to go along to the ol’ swimmin’ hole. Thereupon, Toby jumped and said: “Sure, I’ll go wid yuh, if yuh gimme a bite of yure doughnut. And so Mr. Hobbs had to wait another day for Toblin to make his famous quotation: I won’t go unless I kin lean on yuh. What Happens in Mr. Davis’ Room. Girl—My but it’s hot in here. Pa—Well, that’s good. If we get used to it here, probably it won't be so hard hereafter.

All those who have lost rubbers, please call for them at Ketto Loss' locker. Philip Bronson wants to be an A Freshman. We wonder why. Buicks are bad, Davises are worst; Take the Young Fords; Safety First. First Girl—Say, you ought to see Mr. Crawford speed. Second Girl—Yes. But he hasn't been arrested yet. Heard in History.

A funny thing about this is That one who loves the right As Ringwalt does (or thinks he does), Should e’er be pul to flight. One day this man was not at hand. We missed his smiling face. We thought he surely must be iil And losing in life's race. But when we went to visit him And take our flowers and such, We found out that he was not sick But that he was in Dutch. He was not willing to be quizzed About his escapade. But from an urchin who was there We learned he’d been waylaid. One time he brought his class-book home To mark it with red ink, And when the task at last was done He put it near the sink.

Among the rest a copper came And pinched him on the spot For causing such an odor, and For blocking up the lot. , He grabbed him by the collar And tock him to the jail. The judge said.
