In twenty-seven years this school has grown from an enrollment of less than fifty, to more than twenty-one hundred, and from a teaching staff of eight to eighty, who are now employed as teachers and assistants in various capacities. I he curriculum has developed to an even greater extent, namely—from three very circumscribed courses with practically no options, to ten courses, each having so mam options or electives that the different combinations are really equivalent to nearly one hundred courses. All classes of special activities found in schools of today have kept pace with the development in other ways, so that we now have about fifteen general lines of work, not a part of the regular school courses, Each of these interests—for instance, athletics, has many subdivisions and some of these subdivisions have still minor divisions for more effective administration and service. It is very interesting to compare the present copy of the Polaris with the first edition in 1910, and still more so with the original “Walla-ka-zoo” book, the first hook presented as a year book or History of the School. Efficiency, now days, is an important word in our vocabulary. If wc all. teachers and pupils, would study and unselfishly consider the complexity of our present school organization. I feel certain we should all see the necessity for the highest type of co-operation and sacrifice. Not only is this a duty but a great privilege. May all who read this copy of the Polaris, adopt in a helpful and constructive sense, our new school slogan:—“NORTH 11IH1I MEANS ME.” 0 As editors of this nineteen seventeen year book, we rejoice that our publication marks a red letter year in the history of North High—the twentv-fifth anniversary of our school under the principalship of Mr. Waldo W. Hobbs. When North was but two years old Mr. Hobbs was called from the superintend ancy of the Worthington schools to guide the development of North High, l nder his efficient leadership the school lias grown from its small beginning as shown in the foreword, until it now ranks as second in size among the Minneapolis high schools, lo have been the directing lorce in such an institution is a life work of which our principal may be truly proud. This book dedicated to Mr. Hobbs and the other members of the faculty is but a partial history of the past year. We have tried to record the events of interest to teachers and students. We have tried to make our Polaris a memory book which will grow in value to its owner as years go by. In the degree that we have succeeded we thank our many contributors and loyal co-workers. Where we have fallen short of the success ideally possible, we crave your pardon. It is our book, our record, our last will and testament to North. 9 The Editors. 1917 POLARIS -W- ' I JANUARY CLASS OFPICKRS. Pres., C. Pool Vico-Pres.. Ruth Sevon Bus. Mgr.. R. Johnson Sec'y. V.

I little bunch of mischief. 61 62 KIOFTTH HIGH SCHOOL A 1927 Diary ALWAYS having had high aspirations, I had visions of the fulfillment of them when 1 secured a position with Sears. Roebuck and Co. as travelling saleswoman. My route covers all the coast states and tomorrow I start out on my first trip. New York. The beginning of surprises was when, in Cincinnati. 1 found Emily Corliss busily inspecting pure food in a large department store. Marguerite Dauwen got on the street car with me and told me that she was a designer of millinery creations. In a suburb of the city. Milton Yolkcnant is a depot agent and Edward Warneke is baggage master. Eric, Harold and Roy own the Peterson-Peterson-Peterson Aircraft Manfacturing plant, and Herman Stellar is a real estate agent. On the train from Cincinnati to Philadelphia I recognized Winslow Kelley in his uniform selling candy and magazines. We began recalling old friends to mind as soon as he had a few spare moments, lie pointed out a building that we passed and said that it was William Dickson's pencil factory, lie had to leave soon but as a farewell he called. I heard that Ruth Rice has gone up to Labrador to study ice berg(e)s.” In Philadelphia I found Lee Silberman a manicurist. Minda Monscth and Carrie Oltman are detectives and the famous Anderson Quartette (Edith. Anselm, Malcolm and Gerald) gives concerts daily. Later I came to New York and here I've found many old classmates. Irene I lellner is studying the art of dancing and is Isadora Duncan’s assistant. Helen Eruen is a telephone exchange operator in the Waldorf. Weren’t we always sure she’d become a celebrity on account of her voice? I saw Frieda Lewis in Central Park with the Astor children and I should judge that she is a governess. Last evening I heard Mamie Cohen sing in grand opera and she was truly wonderful. Cyrus Passolt is a cashier in a bank and spends his time flirting with the feminine patrons, while Glenn Dahl is a famous politician. But the most astonishing thing of all was to see Pauline Piersol. a washwoman by profession, and Gust Ekberg. a tramp, walking down Fifth Avenue and the climax came when, after ringing, they were admitted to Alva Merritt's mansion. Frank Gilman has a fruit store: Arne Enger is an occulist: Isadore Gesserman is an orator and Anna Gelfand is the tennis champion of New York. I t«H k a Hying trip to Buffalo and there found Max Fcder busily engaged in inventing light occupations for which he anually receives a Carnegie metal. Judge Shefner is a tailor there and David Gottlieb and Harold Christianson are Shake-sperian actors. When I visited Boston. I passed Harry Mankoff’s Fancy Dancing Academy and renewed acquaintance with Argyle Moore, the famous interpretive dancer. From him I learned that Louise Buettner was in England trying to discover the ingredients of a London fog. and that Clarence Strunk was in the Vermont moun- 63 p TMET 1911 POLARIS tains collecting stamps, rare coins and locker keys. Florence Larson, a newspaper reporter and Esther DeGraff. a second Julia Marlowe were in Boston too. Clif-fert Benson is driving an ice wagon there. Levi Osterhus is a fisherman at Cape Cod. Maurice Charney, Lewis Buck and Sam Bugenstein have started a hospital with Ruth Carlson, Helen Johnson. Laura Baxter. Alma Grawitnder and Hazel Isaacson as nurses. New Orleans. More and still more of the old ones! In Washington, I). C . I discovered that Russell Tennyson is the American poet laureate. It is indeed shocking to be an American resident and not know that. He knows about several of the pupils. Milton Kodas is in England trying to find out whether John Milton of the 17th century or he himself wrote “Paradise Lost ’ Adolph Ericson is Ambassador to Russia. Louis Danovitch is a Senator and Carl Sandgren is a member of the President’s Cabinet. A year ago. Harold Worrell, the young missionary, started off to Lower Guinea, and it is a fact that his skates went with his baggage, so that when the Gulf of Guinea froze over he would be able to use them. He certainly is a far-sighted person! At the same time Dick Patten went to the Orient, as he is specializing in archaeology and hopes to unearth some old tablets. Esther Fiterman is a court photographer in Europe and Alex Cohen is cruising on the Mediterranean in his private yacht. I also understand that Agnes Jack-son is one of the White House chefs, and Ernest Lahtinan has become a Major-General. Esther Schmidt is speaking for suffrage and Adelaide Schlossa goes with her as agent for musical instruments such as pianos and typewriters. Olive Lab-reche is a librarian in Raleigh and Willard Baker is there doing the same as all other bakers have done. Eva Yaeger is in Mississippi composing the latest ragtime. Hazel Moore works in a candy factory here and all she draws now is her weekly (weakly) salary. Berger Nordlein is a short story writer and Sigurd West is a railroad conductor. I was astonished to hear that Lloyd Thornquest has invented some original theorems in Advanced Algebra. Seattle. Wash. More exciting things have happened! In Texas whom should I find on a ranch on the Rio Grande but Ruth Stevens, and Florence Weber is a visiting nurse who hands out “first aids’’ to the ill in San Antonio. There I was told that Alex Luce is driving a jitney bus in Oklahoma and Mollie Marker is superintendent of a deaf and dumb asylum in Missouri. In New Mexico I found Genevieve Littlepage trying to make a new breakfast food out of cactus plants. But the greatest surprise was to find Gordon Emerson a sedate, solemn pastor in the little retired town of Tombstone, Arizona. In San Francisco. Bessie Evans is trying to make a living by her feeble literary efforts, and Clifford Xvvall is a star-gazer whose permanent home is the Lick Observatory. Coring Jermsta is a hotel proprietor and Charles Goldins is Burbank’s assistant. In Nevada I came across Cyril Jensen at work on his 57th variety of perpetual motion machine. He was so industrious he would not stop to talk to me and I did not learn till I got to Oregon that Frederic Xorthrup had gone to the 1‘hilip- 64 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL pines as a Ford salesman. Elmer Keefe is with Ringling Bros, taking tickets. I suppose he got his practice when he was on the lunch committee in high school. Norman Gilkev and Clifford St. Cyr are in partnership. Norman being a surgeon and Clifford an undertaker. I.ouise Cavanaugh is their star nurse. While sight-seeing in Washington I was nearly ruined by Elvera Bjorkland who landed in her aeroplane directly in front of me. 1 was not surprised to find her a high dyer as she had always been able to reach high C” in both musical scale and report cards. She told me that Earl Rydell had finished his education at the Barber College and had gone to Alaska to start in business for himself. Myrtle Wagner and Dorothy Tredway assisted by Lcota Oulman have started a German finishing school for girls in Seattle. Eunice Digby. after graduating from the U. of . lias been committing Livy to memory. Roy Dwyer is a painter and from him I learned that Charles Strauss has an ostrich farm in California. Chicago again. My trip is over and 1 met many more old friends on the last lap. In Idaho I found Richard Lang a hell boy in a large hotel. In Montana. Arthur Boylan has settled on a homestead. Margaret Hollenbeck is a postmistress in a little town and Howard Amland is a wandering minstrel. Claire O’Donnell is a rural teacher as is also Abe Minsky. Velma Cason, a prominent movie actress, also resides there. I heard that in Wyoming Vernon Babcock has become a second Caruso and made his fortune. I met Bessie Shapiro, an artist, and also Maie Salisbury who is trying to find how the interior of the earth is decorated. Isadore Oleisky is the leader of Oleisky’s Band, the successor of Sousa's Band. But the largest crowd is still in Minneapolis. They probably believe in keeping the home fires burning.’ Evangeline Skellett is an old maid but what could he expected of a maiden who was always a wallflower in her school days? John Newman is the owner of a wholesale grocery business. Arlene Nash is a Spanish dancing girl at the Orpheum. Dorothy and James Kennedy have hot some stock in the Kennedy Rolled Oats Co. Marie Herrick has charge of the beauty hint column in the Journal. Gayle Sutton has proved a public benefactor by discovering a new “8-cent” dish for the North High lunch menu. Isadore Levinson is the director of the Art Museum, and Clarence Hagstrom has a Wiener and Waffle wagon on the corner of First Avenue North and Washington. Victor Lind is the captain of an ocean liner on Lake Minnetonka. Mable Benson is a clerk in the 5 and 10 cent store. Grace Herder is a matron at the Old Soldiers’ Home. Wallace Berglund is a reporter for Ray Lundquist who has started a rival of the Journal. From these people I learned of others. Martin Miller is a debate teacher in Cambridge. Minnesota. and Leo Levin is studying Botany, particularly the rose. Rose Feigelman who was always a good reader, passes away the time reading electric light meters. Florence Granger is a professor at the L . of M. and Eva Horwitz is specializing in General History. Marie Hoag, after flying thru the University in a year, is married. Laura Bagenstoss gives Minimum Requirements” tests upon tin- Indian reservations. Lawrence Hagelin is a sculptor in St. Paul. Ignatius Mushik and Bennie Medofsky have hot out the Pillsbury Mills. Freda Malmgren is in a jewelry store and Raymond Getchcll drives a laundry wagon. Delbert Jones is a tinsmith and 65 p TMEZ 1917 POLARIS Jessie Jones is a hockey fiend. Harry llirschtield is the owner of a match factory and some noticeable results of his labors are that Rose Minsky. Magdaline Smith. Ethel Ingbretson. Alice Hohensee. and E lith Goodhouse arc married. At Kobbins-dale. Ruth Walters teaches English Literature. Chauncey Grenell is trying to boom the place while Ralph Ahrahamson is the fire chief. Josie and Mabel Sonmor arc teachers of public speaking in Wisconsin and Helen Walden is a gymnasium instructor. But—because I spent so much time for my own pleasure on this trip. I found that Sears, Roebuck and Co. are able to dispense with my services ami now as in mv school days I am in the great army of idlers. (It is not essential to take this as inexorable fate for some of the brightest stars may fall and others change their orbits.) Gladness 1. Wharton. June 17. SENIOR RECOLLECTIONS I remember. I remember The day we entered “High.” How proud and happy were our thoughts. No sign of tear or sigh. We journeyed to “Old Central.” For North High had burned down. And as we climbed the rickety stairs, A few began to frown. Of course we had our hardships, The rooms were dark and small. Why that “teeny” little lunch room Could not nearly hold us all. But on every face a cheery grin. We buckled down to work. Our class has never “given in” Nor ever known to shirk. I remember, I remember Next fall we went to North. A brand new splendid building Where as “sophs” we blossomed forth. We'll remember, we'll remember How our Junior year we spent. For then it was we organized Had fun to our hearts’ content. Of a sudden, we remember. That we are Seniors now! And we’re a bunch of hustlers You surely will allow. But now we’re sorrowful and sad. You see there’s every reason why, We can’t make up our minds to leave Our Alma Mater. Old North High. 66 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Wc hope we’ve gained a victory. That we’re as conquerors going forth And may our dauntless loyalty He always for dear old North. We’ll remember-—We’ll remember! What we’ve loved we can’t forget! And may. when years have come and gone. Old North be with us yet! Genevieve l.ittlepage. Class History SUCH A CHANGE! Pour short years! Who would ever think that the green little Ereshics who entered North High on that sunshiny morning of February. 1913 arc now leaving as young men and women: Little did we realize that from our class were to issue forth such enthusiastic football, track and debate stars. Our first term ended abruptly amid weeping and wailing. It was then that our beloved school was destroyed by lire. The next two terms were spent at ' ( )ld C entral.” Although the building was verv old and we suffered a great deal from inconveniences, we were happy and the year at ( entral proved to be a joyful event in our school life. As A Sophomores we were again established in North High. Great was our joy to roam about the spacious halls, a pleasure not experienced in “old North or “old Central.” At last we were B Juniors. W’e elected a live social committee and were soon on our way toward a good time. The first party was a mock track meet. Nothing lagged behind, everyone took part in the games and the party was a big success. Later we had a Halloween Masquerade party. This was followed by the Junior Ball in January. This event we had looked forward to since our arrival in High School. t first it was thought that the Hall was to fall through but by the able management of our social committee it turned out to be the best Junior Ball North has ever had. As H Seniors we elected our class officers, appointed committees and above all pursued our lessons with more vigor than ever before. However, as far a having a good time was concerned we were a ‘Me id bunch.” The efforts of the Social Committee to stir up a party were in vain. Class spirit was lacking and there was no enthusiasm over class matters. Finally, we were A Seniors. After a L v weeks wc were busy selecting class pins, pictures, our class play and planning our class day exercises. However, class interests did not take us from our lessons for we studied harder than ever. At last we were ready to graduate. No one lagged behind and the whole of the Class of January Nineteen Seventeen went out together. Here’s wishing saccess, prosperity, and happiness to each and every member of our beloved class. Ruth Seven. Jan. 17. 67 1917 POLARISE -- — Our New Invention Ol'K “HOBBY” was inventing new and surprising machines. The model I am to tell about was one built to make a trip to ‘Mandeville, a small town on the “West” coast of Af-“Rccjue,” more accessible. After the “Carr” was “Dunn, we painted it “Brown” and stored it in a “Shedd” on “Craig” Street to await the coming of Christmas. After “Santee” “Claus” had left us, we were ready to start our trip. We took the mahcinc from its garage and started the motor. The machine, which we had named the Web.” refused to move although the engine throbbed and the frame trembled. Henry, my chum, was excited ami cried out, “Won’t the ‘Webster?’ I jumped out and looked the machine over and found that the wheels would not move because of the lack of grease. 1 hired a Mann to go to a store and purchase some grease. He returned with a new grade called “Pollard. After oiling all parts 1 said. Now it surely Kuelister.’ ” I pressed my foot on the throttle and “Hurd the wheels moving. In a short time we attained a remarkable speed and we soon passed through the town and struck the “Brockway.” We had not gone far. however, when a “Marshall of a town stopped us. “Dave.” said my chum, “that man is going to arrest us. It was as my chum predicted, for he told us we were under arrest for speeding, lie started to search the car. He found a number of food sacks and started to go through them. “Let those Saxbv!” exclaimed my chum hotly. “Who .arc you! the man asked, “and how can I tell but that you’ve been Rob-bin” some stores.” “Do you know Mr. John Santee? asked my chum. “Yes,” said the man. “Are you Johnson? “No,” said Henry, “but Davis.” lie said he would “Grant us leave so we continued on our journey. Soon I Hurd” Henry say. “We had better leave the road and take the Short-ridge” for a while. Then we can cross the Crawford to the “Blaisdell.” This was good advice but I soon saw our mistake. After we had ridden a Little” while, the ground became very marshy. All of a sudden the car stopped. I leaped from the car crying. I guess we are stuck in the ‘Clay.’ ’’ We started our motor and tried to pull out but the machine refused to move. W’e had carried some spades with us so we started to dig. We dug and Dugan” dug. but still she stood still. Mv chum wanted to let some “Brooks” run in the hole to wash the machine out, but I was “Benton” digging. After laboring a few hours we were able to continue our trip. We managed to cross the stream all right, but after going on farther we struck a large rock. The engine blew up and the car took fire. My chum unable to get 68 jr3 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL out quick enough was caught in the blaze and started to burn. A kind Shepherd’’ picked him from the wreck and threw him into some “Wells which were nearby. The flames were extinguished immediately and I asked him if he was burnt. “No. he said sadlv. but mv “Haris.” 9 9 Wc then started to walk and soon came to the Gates’ of the large Ringwalt” around the town. We were glad enough to go to the hotel in Mandeville” and write our names in “Gasink.” Front then on we resolved not to fool around with “C arrs.” Anon. A DREAM I had a terrible dream last night. A horrid frightful dream! I shudder to recall the sight. So awful did it seem. I thought I sat in 1) room. But the scholars all had fled: While a host of horrid lessons Rose up as from the dead. First came poor dear old history. I wept as it passed me by. For a host of pallid little dates. Disordered, caught my eye. L’liable to assist it. I turned quite deadly pale. When to end the mass of dates. Was written the word “Fail.” Then uprose dear old botany. But greatly in despair. Its merciless appeals to me Were more than I could bear. I hung my head, as if to hide That burning blush of shame. For in its wretched coverlet— I well knew was my name. 1 longed to rush from out the room. But I was chained with fright. As each weird, horrid vision. Rose up before my sight. I woke from that queer nightmare With a wild and frightful cry; And then 1 made the promise That to study I would try. Viola Johnson.

HOPE I've walked the road to North High School for many a weary day: And scores of those who went with me have fallen by the way. I've seen the promises of senior year fade with the failing light. When round about my pathway fall the draperies of night. And senior year is far beyond the dimmest distant hill. And I am weary and sick at heart, yet on I journey still. Clara Johnson. ’19.

April 16. 1915. The games played during the evening were similar to the events held in a track-meet. Lunch was served in the Lunch Room, after which we danced. Our chaperons were Miss Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. Rohbins. Needless to say we had a good time, and our first party was a success. “To he or not to he ’— Mostly not to he when it concerned the Hike which we were to give, for Mother Nature drenched the earth that day and continued to do so for many a week, so with a great deal of disappointment we had to abandon all thoughts and plans for the Hike. Our third “doings” took the form of a llallow'een Masquerade, held October 24. 1915 Such a gathering of clowns, witches. Charlie Chaplins and demons could not he equalled. Mr. Williams disguised in a devil’s costume had every one guessing. After the irand March the prizes were awarded and Adella Eppel and Howard Stanchficld were chosen as the winners.

The committee had worked industriously. and as a result, many interesting games filled the evening’s entertainment. A dainty lunch was served in the dining room where Miss Florence Rivkin gave a number of humorous recitations. With heavy hearts we heard the warning bell ring, and then we knew that “our high school parties” were forever ended. Our “big' event was the Junior Hall which was the last but by no means the least held in North High School. Of course this was duly praised by the Seniors, but I will just mention it—lest ye forget—the passing of the Junior Halls in North High. ? f f Ah. yes. we’ve had good times together Our dear old 17 class; Hut like all other high school joys, The carefree days must pass.

The costumes depicted the farmer’s usual attire and the presence of corn cob pipes and stmbonnets brought out the finishing touches to the attires. A number of games were played and it was well for us that we bad on old clothes, for. after pushing a peanut with your nose for a great distance and falling on your face several times besides the other stunts such as. lour legged races, etc., one’s clothes would naturally be pretty well dusted with, well let’s say clean dirt. After the games dancing held sway until luncheon was served after which the “It's-time-to-go-home” bell rang and we dispersed. The next thing that the class undertook was a sleighride. One cold night, when the snow was being burled against the ground and the wind was whistling through the trees, we had the ride. It was necessary to have two bobs to seat the crowd although many believe that it would have been easier to keep warm had there been but one bob. After a delightful ride, for some, and walk, for others, the party returned to school where a refreshing hot luncheon was served. When we had entered our A Junior year our mighty social committee said. “Let us come disguised so that we can find out how poorly we are acquainted with our classmates.” We accordingly had a masquerade, to which the members of our class came grotesquely dressed. A few minutes were devoted to the puzzle of trying to find out who our neighbors were and the results were in most cases guesses of the most ridiculous nature. After this the lights suddenly went out and everybody was requested to seat him- 82 MOFRTH HIGH SCHOOLS self where he was at that moment. Presenth the gentle voice of Mr. Williams was heard trying to imitate the dreadful voice of a ghost. He told a horrible story, which was interrupted occasionally l y the shrill shrieks of some girls. The reason for the shrieks we never found out. After this a little wagon, which contained an infant, was drawn around the room. The lights were then turned on and dancing started. A delicious spread was served in the lunch room, after which, we went homeward. The II Senior social committee decided to give a regular plain party and to have each member of the class partake as much as possible in the stunts and games of the evening. I'.very person upon entering the (lym was assigned to one family or another. These families were given names which were to characterize their stunt. The program was opened by a selection given by the (fberhoffer family and of all the discordant and joy killing music ever heard this was the worst. After the applause had subsided the other families each did their little stunt and the hilarious time which was had (luring the Charlie Chaplin and the Katzenjammer Kids part of the program was evidence of the success of the idea. The climax of the family stunts was reached when the Newlyweds returned from their honeymoon. Then, if they never will be again, they were riced and shoed. After the debris had been swept from the door dancing was the center of attraction until the call for luncheon. After an elaborate “feed the hour for the strains of “Home. Sweet Home” approached and the partv was over. The best party of the June class was finally given, after a number of postponements, Saturday evening. April 28. 1917. The party was an advertising party. Kach member of the class was to come dressed as some well known ad. Although it was raining very hard a large crowd of the class attended and made it a pleasant evening inside although it was dreary outside. A great variety of costumes were to be seen in the crowd. Some of the most noticeable ones were the “Gold Dust Twins,” The Hotel Ad. and a Hawaiian Ad. After a Grand march led by Mr. Spore and Miss Herbert the games of the evening were played and then the orchestra began to play. At 10:15 the call for luncheon was given and the scene shifted from the Gym to the lunch room. A delightful lunch was served after which a program was rendered. Miss burgess gave a toast to the H3 TMEI 19H POLARISE class ami told what was expected « f them. This was followed by a dance given by Miss Mcrier. A vocal selection was then rendered by Miss Marian Davis after which the judges. Miss Henry, Mrs. Francis and Mr. Kuenater. announced their decision. They awarded prizes to Miss Agnes Jackson and Mr. Gerald Anderson for the best costumes. Miss Jackson’s costume was a Japanese costume and was very exquisitely made: while Mr. Anderson’s costume was the Hawaiian costume mentioned above. After the decision, a dance stunt given by four couples was performed and then a toast was given by the Class president. The party was considered a great success and was a good farewell party for the June class. THE FACULTY RECEPTION One day last January, As winter storm’s came on. We went to a reception The faculty put on. We saw a dandy program. And then we went to dance. We danced with all the pretty girls Whene’er we had a chance. We next went down to eat a lunch. We had a dandy feed. We. none of 11s. took down a girl. Oh no! We show’d no greed. We had a wonderf’lv good time. ’Till ’leven o’clock we stayed. And then we had to break the hunch.

After the repast the young people adjourned to the gym where games were played until ten. From 10 to 11 dancing occupied the attention of all until the time for good-night came at hand. The B Juniors had their first class affair in the form of a “Hayseed Party in the Girls’ Gym on Friday evening. May fourth. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games of a rural nature and at 9:15 the refreshments were served. The refreshments consisted of: Fruit-nectar, sandwiches, apples and all-day suckers. After the refreshments had been served, the floor was given over to dancing. At eleven o'clock the party dispersed and everyone present voted it a huge success. The party was chaperoned by: Miss Henry, Mr. and Mrs. Saxby. Miss W ilson, Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Crawford. “A JUNIOR PARTY’ OX the evening of .November 10. 1916, the “A Juniors” gave their one and only party for the semester in the (iirls’ Gym. They played games and danced. They. also, enjoyed a program of two numbers; one. by Walter Stanch field; the other, by a group of four, a silhouette scene. About 10:15. they formed a grand march, and proceeded to the lunch room. The “eats” were fine. With dread in their hearts, they heard the bell, warning them to get their wraps. The party was declared a unanimous success. The A Junior class had as its annual party, a Masquerade Ball. Several games were played early in the evening, and later prizes were awarded for the most original costumes. The judges were: Miss Marshall, Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Robbins. After the awarding of the prizes, dancing was the main feature of the evening. The orchestra, under the direction of Hobart Farnham proved a surprise. It consisted of a mandolin, violin, double bass, ukelele, piano and drums. All the musicians were in costume. Refreshments were served in a candle-lighted bower in a corner of the lunchroom. Altogether, the A Juniors spent an enjoyable evening. B SENIOR PARTY THE B Senior class held a “Ten-Years-Future” party on Friday evening. April 20. in the gymnasium. Many B Seniors attended with a large variety of costumes. Dancing, accompanied by line music, was the chief amusement of the evening. although the program and mock-wedding were enjoyed by all.

Put still he seemed unsatisfied. Where is it? Where is it? he whispered desperately. as he crept into the next room. Again his searchlight propelled by his trembling hand, played fitfully on the various objects of the room. The furniture disclosed to the trembling being that the room was obviously meant for a library. It ought to be here! It ought to be here!’’ he muttered, as he tottered up to the library table. In a wild frenzy of fear that he might not find the object of his search, he pawed the magazines with shaking hands. Suddenly, with an unconscious exclamotion of joy he pounced upon the object of his search, and at the same time heard a voice demand. “Who is the e!’’ and saw a hand grope for the light. 88 p NORTHy HIGH SCHOOL He rushed behind a curtain sheltering the window seat, just as a shower of light floaded the room. “Conic out or I'll shoot. cried the owner of the mansion, but the man only sat in frenzied joy on the window seat, gazing raptly at what he had found. A shot rang out through the room, and with a deep moan, the man fell to the floor. The owner rushed over to the window. Before him lay a middle aged man on whose face was a smile of ecstatic joy. “I—I could not help it. gasped the wounded man. “Ever since I graduated 1 have not failed to read it. but—but this year I lost all my money and had no valuables. so I had to—to employ this means of getting it.

Suddenly his face lighted as his gaze fell on the girl standing near where he was marching. He saw that she tried to appear happy but on her cheeks he saw tears glisten. She tore something from her neck and threw it to him. He caught it but did not have time to look at it as they had reached the dock, so he put it in his pocket. The next day. after the excitement of the previous day had worn oil. he remembered the thing the girl had thrown him. lie took it out of his pocket. It was a locket. On it was the American flag and under the flag were the words “Protect Me.” He opened the locket and inside he found a picture of the girl. “Any news today? Rodney asked Colonel Warren, the company's commander, for the eleventh time in the same number of days. “We have received orders to hold Hill 504 until Gen. Hill can relieve us,'' Warren replied. “Huh! What do they think we Americans are? Babies? Rodney and I can hold that little ant pile until peace is made.’’ Burton, Rodney’s friend, remarked when he heard the news. The Colonel smiled and replied. “Do you know that six of the best companies in the French army have been annihilated during the last weeks' German offensive? If they can take the hill our line will be broken and they can reach the interior of France and cut off our supplies in the Verdun district.” Burton said. “You win. When are we going to take possession of the inland Gibraltar?” “At sunset.” was the answer. “Soft job lying here in a trench listening to some guns ten miles off. Burton remarked to Rodney the next morning. But Rodney, who was peeping over the top of the trench dropped down and said. “You’ll have all the excitement you want in a few minutes, a whole regiment of Germans are creeping up the hill.” Instantly the whole company was ready for the attack. Five—ten—fifteen minutes went by but still no move by the Germans. Then there came a shout to Rodney’s ears. “Down with the American flag!” 01 92 NORTH HIGH SCHOOLS For answer they received a volley of lead and the shout. “Not while one man of company A is alive. ’ In the following battle, one half of the company was destroyed In the onrush ing enemies'first volley. Rodney saw Burton fall: then Warren. Just as Warren fell. Rodney saw three Germans run to the American Hag and try to tear it down. Rodney ran after them emptying his pistol at them as he ran. He felt a stinging sensation in his right side. When he reached the flag he faced the remaining Germans and dared them to come near him. He saw them look past him and then they retreated but he fell to the ground—the last man of company A. A month later the girl received a letter from the American armies headquarters in France saying that Rodney had been killed in active service. It stated that he died while defending the American flag in one of the fiercest and shortest engagements of the war. A relief company had found him clinging to the flag with his right hand and holding a locket and a note addressed to her in the other. The note read. “Dear Sister: I protected it. Harold Sy tines.

It would happen again, he knew it. it had practically happened already, and now he was the hapless, predestined object of her wrath, her sarcasm, and worst of all her revenge. In fancy he could see her beautiful white hand hold the pen that would be used to sign what would be the same as a death warrant to him. And after that there would be only one thing left for him to do; with a shudder lie broke the awful current of thought The sea of faces that had surrounded him till now was rapidly diminishing. With a last manful attempt to be calm he courageously opened the door and entered the awful presence. She did not seem to notice him as. with shaking knees, he sank into a seat. He clenched his hands in the effort to gain self-control, and lie fancied she could hear the rapid beating of his heart. The leaden moments dragged by; his suspense seemed unendurable. Did she not see his misery? She was animatedly discussing proposals, rejections and murders with the other inmates of the room. Now she took several steps toward him; he pressed his hand to his fluttering heart in terror. At last the sound of a bell brought his release. Joyfully lie rushed from the room; when he had reached the landing he paused to take breath. “Never again. he vowed will I enter a history class unprepared ’ Louise Schwandt. PATRIOTISM There was a fellow here at North. A patriot was he. He wore a Hag to school each day; was loyal as could be. He argued with the other boys tint, if we should have war. We ought to meet the enemy with what they brought, and more. He told of how we beat John Hull, and overthrew the South. And ere he’d take another’s sauce, he’d punch him in the mouth. Not three months later volunteers were called to go and fight. Our patriot had disappeared completely from our sight. A quiet, modest, youth there was who loved the folks at home. And dreaded oft the thoughts of war. the cannon, and the bomb, lie very seldom aired his views upon the war to come; It grieved him far too much to think of friends who might succumb. He sadly saw the solemn day which called for volunteers. His country now was in the fray. He read the news with tears. Hut bravely met his country’s call, and for it went to war. And by his bravery gained a name which lived forevermore. Alva Merritt.

A congenial spirit of helpfulness has existed; membership has steadily increased : capable officers have been wisely chosen, and the society has commanded the respect and aroused the interest of the entire school. Not a little of our Literary Society’s success can be attributed to the care and influence of its adviser. Miss Burgess. 'Poo much cannot be said of the kindly counsel which she has always been ready and willing to give. At the first September meeting, officers were elected; the October entertainment delved into the life and works of Mark Twain; in November a mock political rally and election were held at which North High stump-speakers outdid themselves; our December meeting provided an assembly entertainment at which a Christmas program was given. After the official 1917 election was held, the term’s entertainment opened in G room with a varied program concluded by an interesting lecture on the Art Institute by Miss Donaldson. St. Patrick and his deeds were extolled at an Irish program on March 19th. Another program oi March featured ‘ Romeo and Juliet” in pantomime. The Championship Interclass Debate was held in May. A comedy. ‘’Miss Civilization.” by Richard Harding Davis closed the series of programs. The chief feature of the Literary Society is the Annual Declamatory Contest which occurred this year on the evening of May eleventh. Those partaking were Genevieve Lifchits, Bernice Marsolais. Margaret Shaughnessy. Eva Yaeger. Louis Davies. Norman Gilkey. Louis Mandelstem and Max Shapiro. Bernice Marslais and Max Shapiro winning. The Literary Society held its annual banquet in the lunchroom on January fifteenth with about seventy-five in attendance. With such a splendid record the Literary Society has shown what live students of a live school can accomplish.

On January twelfth Ruth Sevon. Myrtle Henry and Rose Feigelman. debating on the affirmative, won a sweeping victory over the Cokato girls at Minneapolis. Milton Kodas. Harlan Xygaard, and Bruce Russell, debating on the negative won by a divided vote from the Cokato hoys at Cokato. On January twenty-sixth Milton Kodas. Harlan Xygaard and Rose Feigelman won a two to one decision on the negative at Cambridge. This debate decided the championship of the Tenth Congressional district in the State Debating League. Three weeks later. Norman Gilkey, Robert and Alex Luce, all new men, were defeated in an independent debate at Duluth. The “Duluth Herald” considered Alex Luce the best speaker of the. evening. In the first inter-district debate, on March ninth, Milton Kodas. Rose Feigelman and Alex Luce won on the affirmative against a team from Farmington. The decision was three to nothing. The next debate was with Harmony on April fourth. North had changed to the negative, and though the direct argument and fine delivery of the Harmony team kept North’s rooters worried, yet the three to nothing decision came through the splendid extemporaneous rebuttals of North’s team. In this department their superiority was easily apparent. On April twenty-seventh, this same team met a team from East Grand Forks in the finals of the State League Series. From beginning to end it was a hard fought battle. East Grand Forks won the championship last year and made a splendid showing in this final round; but again the extemporaneous rebuttal starred for North, and the State championship was ours by an unanimous decision. In recognition of their good work, all the debaters received the regulation gold pin for their first debate and a pearl for each additional debate in which they took part. In addition to the pins, Bruce Russell. Harlan Xygaard and Ruth Sevon of the January class were given the felt “X” in appreciation of their faithful work in debate for two seasons, and their consistent school work. The championship blue felt letter went to Milton Kodas. Rose Feigelman. and Alex Luce who were the team for the last three debates. 103 P TMET 1QH POLARIS DEBATE SQUAD R. Luce M. Henry N. Gil key B.

NORTH HIGH SCHOOL I —=s = —— THE! 1917 POLARIS The Scientific Club A FEW years ago. the Scientific Club of North High School was organized for those whose interest inclined toward anything dealing with technical or scientific subjects. This year it has been an unusually live organization due to the co-operation of its twenty-five wide awake members and of Mr. Hurd, the faculty adviser. Very interesting, as well as instructive programs have been given on wireless telegraphy, astronomy, chemicals, airships, submarines, the British tanks and other things of interest to the typical American boy. In addition, the club visited the Ford factory and the American School of Telegraphy. Perhaps the most important event, not only for the club, but for the school, which has marked the progress of the Scientific Club this year is the coming of our new wireless receiving outfit. 'This has been sought previously and was granted this year through the cooperation of the teachers interested in the club. We hope soon to be able to accompany it by a sending outfit.

Today there arc three committees, who. as assistants, working cooperatively, manage the affairs of the biggest of North High’s organizations. These committees together comprise the Lunch Association, and are as follows: the faculty committee with Miss Konig as manager; the kitchen cabinet under the supervision of Mrs. L. W.

The soloists were Grace Parsons, Earl Kydcll and Elmer Keefe. This is the first all-North High production of its kind on record. The chorus was ably accompanied by the North High Orchestra, assisted by Irene Hcllner and Mary Shumaker, and Horace Street, organist. The tunefulness of “A Shepherd Maid Has Passed.” the irresistible power of “On to the Battle! On! and the thrilling grandeur of the Final Chorus will be long remembered by the hearers. The fact that North High could produce three hundred and fifty singers capable of handling such a work is a matter of which we have reason to be proud.

W e also know that it lias the best lunch room, auditorium, etc. Hut I wonder how many pupils realize that, tho others may be larger, we have a better-looking greenhouse than any other city high school. The planning and maintaining of the greenhouse is the work of Miss Foss. Miss Krdman. and the pupils of the botany department; and its pleasing appearance is largely due to the care of Mr. I’falzgraf, our janitor gardner. Its influence is seen and felt all thru the building, for we arc able to supply the art department with specimens, the co king department with herbs and seasonings, the different rooms with window boxes, the sick with flowers and bouquets, parties and entertainments with stage and table decorations. Besides the work with bulbs, ferns, flowers, shrubs and trees, their structure and physiology, the course includes a study of bacteria, molds, rusts and the like, together with many laboratory tests and experiments. Then. too. the pupils frequently find occasion to use the microscope in studying things which are t«« small to be seen with the naked eye. There are many interesting things in the botany laboratories which we are always glad to show to visitors. W e have a beautiful aquarium in which are mam lovely water plants, some gold-fish and a mud turtle, which goes by the name « f Jonah. Besides we have a plant which devours angleworms and beefsteak and there are also some papier mache models of flowers that bloom all the year. That botany is well worth the time spent on it is shown by the increase in the number of pupils taking it. During the year 1916-1917, one hundred sixty-three pupils enrolled in the course. Twenty-five others tried to take it but could not arrange their programs to make it possible. 119 120 X. H. S. GUARDIAN . J. Kudin W. I’fiillxyraf R. Flub J. Carlin I . Perry A. I-. Foil T.

Starting out with an almost entirely new team. Jackson brought his men into a spirit that held the strong 1 cn,ra lea,u to a 7 to 7 tie and in doing so outplayed the strongest line in the city. DUNWOODY Lhe Dunwoody game, the first of the season, was by no means a great game: the score being 6 to 2. favor North. North failed many times with tin- final punch. The game, however, had some redeeming features, among which was the work of Eckberg. Capt. Johnson and Kammercr. 123 z NORTH HIGH SCHOOL ST. PAUL CENTRAL St. Paul Central, the deciding game of four years of play, was lost by North hy a 7 to IS score. This game was hard fought ami the fellows showed team work. They were outweighed, however, and the St. Paul Central quarterback used his heavy hacks to good advantage. Hillman, the giant Central guard, was the keystone of their offense. Middlemist and Capt. Johnson were bulwarks on the defense while Eckberg led the offense. CITY LEAGUE HIGH SCHOOL GAMES SOUTH The South game was a lizzie. The team started with a rush but lost the ball and then seemed utterly incapable of playing any kind of a game. When time was called the score stood 41 to 0 in South’s favor with the work of Eckberg the only redeeming feature. EAST 'Phe team entered the East game with the firm purpose of winning. With Eckberg leading the offense North scored two touchdowns before East had scored at all. Eckberg scored the first touchdown after a splendid twenty-five yard run by Wilken. He failed to kick goal. The second came in the third quarter after Pool had recovered a fumble. Eckberg scored but again missed goal. East caught North napping and a forward pass. Magiera to Doyle, went for a touchdown. The wonderful work of Jerry Mullin on defense was largely responsible for the victory. WEST West next came to us and we had a track meet, rather West did. Martineau and Rubens piled up forty-seven points to our none. Eckberg and Johnson did best work for North while Martineau and Rubens were the stars on the West team. CENTRAL Central, the last game of the season, was probably the hardest fought. Eckberg, Wilken and Jones led the North defense, and Mitchell and Pallentyne led the Central team. On the defense, Johnson was the star, while the whole line played well. North's goal came after a recovered fumble and a few plunges by “Kek. Central’s counter came after a pass, an end run and three plunges by Capt. Mitchell off tackle. The scores of all the city league games were: North 12 East 6 East 6—South 6 South 6—C entral 0 East 1—Central 0 North 7—Central 7 West 47—North 0 West IS—South 0 Central 6—West 7 North 0 South 41 East 27 West 14 125 Fhe Social Side of Football THE North team was unusually lucky in the social line this year in that the parents of the fellows took such a great interest in the welfare of the team. The mothers took it upon themselves to give the fellows a big feed every little while and the first to feast the fellows were the parents of Emil Erhardt. Mr. and Mrs. Erhardt gave the bunch a feed, which was enjoyed by all. and a party, (stag, of course), afterwards. fhe next festivity too!; place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott. Here again the fellows enjoyed a line dinner and a party, (not so stag) afterwards. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson entertained the team at a dinner party as the next event in the round of festivities. The dinner was excellent. Coach and Mrs. Jackson next undertook to feed the mob that North calls its football team. And it seems to be the rule that Coach Jackson succeeds in all he undertakes for when opinions were passed, they were unanimous that Mrs. Jackson was seme cook. After the meal the fellows played cards until time to put the baby to sleep. Then, as a climax to this splendid work by the individual mothers, came that most successful of successes, the banquet and dance at the club rooms of the North Side Commercial ( lub. This event was made possible only by the concerted effort of a number of the mothers and it i certain that if any of the fellows or their friends had a poor time it was not the fault of the mothers. Before closing I wish again to call to your attention the splendid work done by the mothers in furnishing the team with blankets and as athletic editor of this Polaris and as a member of the football team, I wash again to thank the mothers for their splendid interest and for the work they did to help the team. Clifford V. Pool, Athletic Editor. Jan. ’17. The Relation of Track to Football TRACK and football are two outdoor sports which go hand in hand. A good track man makes the best football man obtainable. It is the training, which is gained from track, that gives a man greater ability to handle himself. The running, weight throwing, and jumping all tend to develop the muscles of the body. Track work gives a man full control over all his muscles. Football wants men alert, wide awake and able to handle themselves. A small man with control over his muscles is worth more than a large man. that is slow and cannot handle himself. Any boy who expects to play football should take track work, as it will make him a more efficient football player. 126 Paul Wilken. HOCKKY TK Hoy Inn. Manager H. Worrell, I cft WlnK H. Hjinxon.

HI.ink, 1 017 PpLARISPjj 128 NORTH7 HIGH SCHOOL Hockey at North IT has been truthfully said that history repeats itself. We have only to look to ancient times, the dark ages, or even to events in modern times to prove the statement correct. A nation in its beginning meets with reverses time and again; later it attains some degree of success; and finally reaches the zenith of its power and prestige. It is even so with any form of athletics. Two years ago the athletic standing of North High was set at naught by the ever ready taunt that it had not won a single game of hockey since that form of sport had been introduced. History certainly repeated itself that year. for. although North had a hard working team with several, well seasoned players, not a single game was won. Captain Arthur Johnson. Art Meyer. Worrell. Eckberg, and “Eddie’ Bruhn were seasoned players, while our present Captain Passolt and Carl Johnson completed the team. A year ago ( apt. Comer, with W orrell, Garfield Benson. Kammerer. I'assolt. Cliffert Benson, and Malmsten won three of the eight games played Some trained material mingling with raw recruits after careful and persistent effort accomplished something worthy of consideration. The past season was, however, the most important in the history of hockey at North High. Beginning the season with Capt. Passolt, Worrell, Benson and Kammerer, well acquainted with the game and with Hoy Johnson and Harry Hanson (previous substitutes) to fill the remaining forward positions, the team felt confident of a chance to hold its own with all worthy opponents. With very little practice the team met East High in the first game of the season. Blank, who was selected to guard goal, being injured before the game was called found it necessary to surrender his place to Elovd O’Hara. Time was called on a tie score; so extra time was taken to decide the game. By means of quick and flashy work East won by a score of 5 to 3. giving North the only defeat of the season. After many closely contested games were played. North was conceded the High School championship for the season 1916-1917. Will history repeat itself in Hockey next season? Who can sav? North has lost several excellent players whose places must be filled by worthy material. A choice of the best material obtainable will be necessary to produce a winning team. Good material is not the only requisite. Boys willing to work and work with other boys is what counts. This was clearly demonstrated during the past season by the individual attempts on the part of East’s veteran players to break through North's splendid defense toward the goal. North has had as good individual players in previous years as were represented upon the team this year, but never before has there been such feeling of complete co-operation, unity of purpose and harmony as evidenced in the team and “squad” of the season just past. Good individual work is necessary, but team work with one purpose is far more essential. Captain Passolt shot but one goal in three years while Cliffert Benson, our star point, did not succeed in making a single goal in all his playing, vet the combined work of these two was largely responsible for the defeat of our opponents and the majority of goals made bv North. Independent individual work on the part of the players with an attempt at making “star” or “spectacular” plays would have resulted in defeat and loss of the championship. 129 p TMEZ 1917 ROLARIS What North High may expect of her hockey teams in the future depends entirely upon the students who represent North High. If the students desire a winning hockey team, every good healthy student that can skate or is willing to learn to skate, should volunteer his services toward that end. We had many candidates for places upon the team the past season who, by their loyalty contributed much to the team’s success. With little chance to be a member of the past season’s team, they gave those on the team a better opportunity to become more efficient. Some of these candidates will win places the coming season while others have finished their high school careers. We need plenty of material from which to select the best. We need boys who are willing to keep their own selfish ambitions in the background and work for the success of their High School team. If North High wishes to rank high in this major winter sport, the members of the team must have every opportunity to practice. The rink at North Commons was not available for more than two weeks of the most important part of the past season This was a handicap that was difficult to overcome. In order that hockey may be a success in the future a rink devoted exclusively to the use iff North High students should be maintained. All forms of athletics in order to be successful should be placed upon equal footing. not only as to equipment and financial backing, but in the minds of the student body as well. Until the student body is capable of considering hockey of equal importance to other major sports it cannot be considered a success. No form of athletic sport should be sanctioned and supported for the benefit of team members only or with the one aim of vanquishing all opponents. It is far more important that many students reap the benefit of outdoor exercise than to have a championship team. To win is encouraging and enhances the popularity of our school, but may the future purpose of all athletics be to improve the physical condition of the majority of students so that their capacity for mental training may be greatly increased. In behalf of the team. I wish to thank Mr. Kingwalt and all those who so nobly supported the boys in their efforts and made possible the winning of the High School Hockey championship. J. 11. Santee. Hockey THE 1‘ 17 Hockey Team, with five regulars from last year’s team, won the championship for us by winning 7 games and losing one. Team work featured every game and “Grand Stand Stuff” was not thought of. This is the first hockey championship North ever won being handicapped other years by a lack of interest and a lack of money to support it. The Casino Rink was an advantage this year and the receipts exceeded expectations. To Coach Santee is certainly due some credit for the fine showing, as it is the result of consistent work on his part, making the fellows practice regularly. The absence of dirty playing was noticeable as compared with past performances. There were few injuries, the most serious being Gordon, of Central, who had his skull fractured in the first game with North. He was in the game again, however, near the end of the season. Worrell now holds the record for the number of shots by making 14 in «S games. Passolt and Benson are by far the best defense combination in the city. 130 NORTH7 HIGH SCHOOL NORTH VS. EAST. JAN. 12 SCORE 3 5 In the first game of the season. Kammercr showed mid-season form and was the star. The game was hotly contested as is shown by the fact that, with thirty seconds left to play. Mosier of East shot a goal which tied tlu score. An extra ten minutes netted East two goals. For East, Reeves and M osier easily starred. NORTH VS. CENTRAL. JAN 13. 2 0 During the game. Worrell, Kammercr and Passolt were on a par. Central threatened our goal only a few times during the whole game, and were playing defense almost all the time. NORTH VS. DUNWOODY. JAN. 22 This game was not on the schedule, s no official score was kept. The game was featured by rough playing. Coach Santee used this game to pick his men for the year. NORTH VS. SOUTH. JAN. 26 2 1 The feature of this game was the fine shooting of Worrell. Kammercr also did well. Mann starred for South. 11 is work was noticeable as he was so small, weighing only about 115 lbs. NORTH VS. WEST. FEB. 2 2 1 This was one of our hardest games. Worrell again showed his worth by his stellar work at wing. 1‘assolt was good on defense. West doing practically nothing on his side. Joslvn and Burten did the best work for West. NORTH VS. CENTRAL. FEB. 9 3 1 The team entered this game with the confidence of a championship team. Man-son starred, taking the puck from scrimmage and racing the length of the rink for a goal. Worrell also did well. NORTH VS. EAST. FEB. 12 4 3 This game was the best played of the whole series. Worrell and Reeves were individual stars. Worrell getting three goals. Kammercr got knocked down in the first half but managed to finish the game. 131 THE 1©1 7 POLARISE ---—:------------------------------ = w NORTH VS. WEST. FEB. 23 2 1 This was the crucial game as North and West stood tie. It was postponed once, hut when they got together it was some game. West had visions,—hut that’s all. At the whistle—hut why go into detail? They all starred, each working with his teammate. NORTH VS. SOUTH. FEB. 26 11 1 This last affair was won by North. The score tells the story. Basketball P | 11 E class basketball this year was especially interesting as two teams, the i Seniors and the Sophomores were tied nearly all the way for the championship and neither could be beaten by either the Freshmen or the Juniors. Between the two the Sophomores beat the Seniors in the first game and the Seniors took the second. The third game between the two, and of course the deciding game of the championship, was very close. With but a few seconds to play and the score 9 to 8 in favor of the Sophomores, a foul was called against a Sophomore and the goal shot by Bronson of the Seniors. This tied the score but the timekeepers came running on the floor claiming that the whistle blew before the foul was committed. Mr. Spore allowed the game to the Sophomores but the protest to the Board of Control by the Seniors was also allowed to pass and the score made a tie again. The two teams met to play off the tie and the Seniors finally won 10 to 8 taking the championship with the game. Those who received numerals were: Bronson, Loss, Pool. Kkberg. (ioldfus and (iilman. The Sophomore team was Mullin. captain: Lacy, Smock, Lindsten and Krhardt. The Juniors were Anderson, Zicbarth, Milchesky, Goldman. VVilken, captain.

East getting second with 43 points, and North taking third with 21 points. With only one week's practice the team was unable to get into shape. Wilken ran a splendid race in the half mile getting second place. This was a fine showing as it was his lir t race. Eckberg won the shot at 38 ft. 8 in. while Richards took third. Jensen and Nelson took places in the high jump and Nauscd got third in the mile. ST. PAUL CENTRAL DUAL MEET The outstanding feature of this meet was the time made by Dugas of Central in the mile. The time was 5:56. This is the best time made in this event since Hcnsel of North made it in 4:47 two years ago. It was a close meet from the start with the relay finally deciding in Central’s favor. Smock was individual point winner with three firsts and one second to his credit. Wilken won the half continuing the good work started in the Triangular meet. CITY INDOOR MEET. The Annual city indoor meet was held at the Arcadia dancing pavilion. West won the meet with Central. North. East and South finishing in the order named, C.il-key, Jensen. Eckberg. and the relay team made North’s ix ints. NORTHFIELD MEET.

Jensen garnered five of North’s nine jx ints. placing in lx th hurdles and the broad jump. Naused and R. Johnson and the relay team made the other North points. NORTH-EAST DUAL MEET. In this meet North showed its best balanced team in years. North placed first in all hut two events and won the meet with 92 ix ints to East's 25. Practically every athlete on the squad placed.

Richards, our Freshman, was in the l est form of his career and won a first, a second, and a third place. Other North men to place were Jensen. Naused. A. Johnson and Eckberg. North’s showing was good considering the poor shape the men were in. . NORTH TRACK RECORDS. Coach Jackson has conceived a new idea t get spirit into the track men.

Carrier, '14 135 T MEZ 19H RO LARIS O the new baseball coach is detailed a peculiar task; that of writing a history of the baseball season before it takes place. Such a “history” can be little more than a summary of North’s prospects, her hopes and ambitions, in fact, a prophecy of the coming season. At a meeting of baseball candidates held the day before spring vacation, thirty-five men reported. This indicates a wealth of material. While we cannot judge prematurely as to the quality of this material, it is encouraging to note that among the thirty-five are ten veterans from last year, as well as several promising freshmen with fine grade school records. A few upperclassmen, of promising ability have also appeared for the first time, with the intention of making a place on the team. Candidates for the battery positions include, catchers; ShetTncr, of last year’s team, Evald Johnson. Michael Cohen and Cubley; pitchers Lind and Bugenstein, Naylor, Earl Peterson and I ilicnthal. The infield positions will be tilled by Mullen and Smock, and recruits Malcolm Anderson. Getchell. Malmsten, Rudy Nelson. Erickson. Charles Peterson and Rivkin. In the outfield, the three veterans Hcmpel, Baker and Bochme will try to hold their positions against the competition of Bcrglund, Sam Bugenstein, I.indhal and Walter Olson. We measure our success largely in terms of victory but we shall consider our team doubly successful if it can play the type of game that, of itself, shall win the interest and hearty support of the student body. Every branch of athletics NEEDS that same hearty support and financial backing, baseball, no less than others. Our ambition, then, is to make a good run for the city championship and to win a more cordial support of the student body than has previously been by North High Base- The North High baseball team opened the season by winning its first game from South by the score 7—5. In this game the team showed promising ability both in the field and at the bat while the superb pitching of Captain Bugenstein enabled North to hold the lead from the first. With the East game a week ahead everyone worked hard in the effort to win for by so doing we would have placed North strongly in line for the championship. Pitcher Redmond and his team proved to lie the puzzle of old, however, and our hopes were frustrated by the score 9—3. Inability to hit the ball and “bad breaks resulted in losing the next game to Central. Score: 6—1. The following week, however, North came into its own and defeated the strong Dun woody team by the score of 9—8 and West High by the score of 9—6. With this impetus and a renewed confidence in its own ability the North team starts out on the second round of games intending to win from all four high schools instead of two and thereby share the championship honors with East. As we go to press comes the good news: North 4. South 1 ; West 9. East 7. We will win that championship!

Therefore, we publish this brief catalogue explaining the most important features of this institution. 'I’he North High School is a large stone building occupying the block inclosed by Fremont. Girard. 18th and 17th Avenues, and the warm spot in ur hearts. It is inhabited hv several different kinds of animals. Seniors, Juniors. Sophomores. Freshmen, Members of the Faculty, Janitors, and Mice. The first four classes quarrel while the members of the Faculty shake their heads and devise measures for correcting the incorrigibility of the younger generation. The Janitors clear the building with a broom, a mop, a dustpan, and fiirt of a mop. The Mice eat what is left. ‘Hu High School is run by the Board of Education and Mr. Hobbs, but only he, not they, counts. Joan of Arc:—The silent witness of Senior love talks in the lower hall. Oh Joan! Oh Joan! that we might hear what thou hast heard and beheld what thine eyes hath looked upon! Wastebaskets:—The target receptacle for discarded paper, gum. etc., standing bv teacher's desk. (Probably because it is handier to knock over there). Outline (Eng. out and line):— n instrument of torture devised by Mr. Gasink, Miss Leet, and others to bring out the lines of care in the faces of the students. Shark:—A peculiar sort of an individual who brings his Cicero to lunch. Flunk:—A term spoken in whispers by those who have passed under the rod. Initiative:—The most important word in Mr. Hobb’s vocabulary. Chorus:—A period of time spent with the Muses. Mr. Sheperd: “Name the feeble-minded institutions of the state. E.
