THE POLARIS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF NORTH HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS. MINNESOTA VOLUME IX MHC L L ■ LD 7 FOI • (r 14. Hi Sf yV To our loyal boys of North who are fighting in the cause of Freedom,we, the class of 1918 dedicate our Annual.----- W. V. HOBBS. Principal NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Foreword Another year's history at North High joins the twenty-eight gone before, and all things considered, is the record of one of the best years experienced by this school. The serious days and months of the great world war have caused a certain unrest and lack of concentration of effort, yet the spirit of loyalty to school, city, and country will, in future years, no doubt, develop into greater individual good than more definite academic work would have accomplished. The North High has continued previous special activities, and in addition undertaken many new ones, especially those connected with the war. The school is especially proud of the three hundred or more loyal graduates and under-graduates who have entered their country's service. The January Class of this year, from the proceeds of their remarkably successful memorial entertainment, gave liberally to their country’s call for money. No doubt the June Class will do equally well. To all interested in North High and to friends who may read these pages, 1 wish to extend my most sincere wish for their success in all that makes for true happiness and accomplishment, 'flic loyalty of the alumni of this school has been a far greater inspiration than they can realize. A true realization of what is meant by loyalty is especially needed at this time. If the classes graduating from this school allow the Golden Rule to stand for their ideal of loyalty to individual, city, state or country, they cannot fail to accomplish most for themselves, as well as for others. It is my sincere wish that this year’s Polaris may bean index of continued increasing honors and accomplishments for the Class of l‘MK. as the years may come and go. Very sincerely. Because this year is one of war, conservation, and preparedness, the question arose as to whether or not it would be fitting for North to sacrifice her nineteen eighteen year book. The boys, though, representing North in the great World War. settled the question for us. We felt that they would like to know what wc are doing at home, so we took this opportunity of letting them know. They are the ones of whom North is extremely proud, and they are the ones who have been our inspiration. Accordingly, they have been given particular mention and this issue has been made a patriotic number. We hope that this little book will cheer them and bring them happy thoughts of their school days at dear old North. Will von accept our memory book with a good will, and overlook anything said amiss? We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation to teachers and students who have assisted us in our effort. Respectfully yours. The Editors.

Red and blue and white, Its stripes flare out on the day breeze. Its stars shine forth in the night. It sings of a soul departed; It tells of a life laid low, For its silken folds caressing, Shadow—a cross—below. There is a cross, on the hilltop. Gleaming, it shines from afar, Jt flings its arms in the moonlight. It lifts its head to a star. It sings of the greatest love that men Can ever give or know. For it throws a glimmering shadow, Over a grave,—below. There is a grave.—on the hilltop. Narrow and earthy and cold; The flowers smile around it. And the dewdrops soften its mold. It tells of a dauntless courage. It sings of a spirit true. It speaks of a man. who suffered death For the red and the white and the blue. Yes, he died for the flag on the hilltop, For the cross beneath it, too. And he died for the country that loves the flag, And he died for me,—and for you. Grace Nystrom. “THE 1918 POLARIS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 56 THE 1918 POLARIS AS THEY PASS BY. My soul thrills high as I watch them pass by—those soldiers in khaki so brave. With uplifted head and uplifted heart—to the victory or to the grave. I watch them step firm with a manly tread and tear frozen hard in their eye. As they march swiftly past to that far battlefield—to conquer or to die. 1 try to cheer them on their way, as a common prayer I utter, And try only cheerful acts to do and cheerful words to mutter. So I wave that emblem to the skv and shout words of courage, as they pass by. But they cannot know that behind my smile, a tear is loath to cry. As 1 brave back the weakness and call them all mine— These soldiers who fight for your land and mine. And to each one I meet who a service needs. I hold out a friendly hand. They are all brothers now; bound strong and firm with a mighty, clasping band. So I do my small bit. as 1 think how they went, To answer that call—on Truth and Right bent. They are mine, one and all, I whisper each day— Those soldier boys, who marched away. But 1 can’t help regret as 1 think of them, friend; Oh! God, that I. too, had some one to send. A father, a brother, a lover of might. That I bravely could send to help win the fight. How gladly I’d cheer him along the hard way. though my own heart might break with the strain. I would give him up gladly with thankful prayer breathed—to think that my country would gain. To victory—defeat (Oh! God, spare, even Death). To know for his country he drew his last breath. 58 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Not one can I send : no dear one, or friend. Vet still do I hope and faithful knee bend. To pray for those dear ones, ’midst shot and the Hun. Thank God they are mine, too—yes. everyone. Myrtle Kretchmcr. Jan. ’19. MARS. When I laugh ’tis but the cannon’s roar; when 1 smile the heavens split, and humans call it the rockets’ glare. These days are the garnets in my crown of death. As each speeds to a crimson finish, 1 wonder at my power and exult in the fiendish grip I hold upon these mortals. They kill and slay, and slay and kill until their blood runs o’er the scarred earth in streams as wide and black and horrible as the awful river Styx. And 1 marvel to see what mere man has wrought with his yawning cannon, belching smoke and flame more fascinating than the forge of Vulcan. I am the god supreme: my glance destroys cities. I'.ven as a plague scours the land and lays all in waste before it. my hand reaches to the depth of the sea and to the height of the highest cloud, and everywhere my sword is the most scarlet and kills and kills till the blood drips from its point as it trickles from the jaws of the hungry wolf returned from the hunt. Kenneth Dickinson. THE BUGLE CALL. Oft through the morning hours I hear The bugle clear and shrill. Calling the soldiers from their sleep. Out to the morning drill. I’d gladly be a soldier boy. And answer that bugle call: I'd gladly march away to war. And in some battle fall. Or I’d rather be a sailor boy. And sail the bounding sea, With a watchful eve for submarines. And ships from Germany. I’d follow the flag to the end of the earth. And there I’d willingly die. That the Stars and Stripes might be upheld. And over our nation fly.

Pure and clear as the bright blue sky. Red is for blood so nobly shed. And Blue for the heavens above. White is for victory in Peace's stead: I’m here for you to love.” 60 Erma Haaland, ’21.

Hazel Amland, AMANTHIS’ PATRIOTISM NOW' remember.’’ cautioned the Judge, “I am not slamming patriotism any. but I reckon I’ll eat my wheat and keep my own money until some of these rich folks let go of theirs.” He bumped his cane against the porch of the post office to emphasize each word. I reckon I'll wait until some of those rich folks spend their money on a French orphan instead of a French poodle, and when they unknit their blamed dog sweaters and dog collars—then—then I’ll buy a Liberty Bond and— and eat more corn meal.” “More com meal, eh?” queried the postmaster sauntering to the door. “Heh—hah—heh—ha! More corn meal!” and then they all roared. The Judge was a regular southern “corn-meal-hoe-cake man” and everyone knew it. So, turning abruptly and saluting his patriotic post office friends, the Judge hustled off down Main street towards his “hermitage,” his shiny shoes trying to keep up with the slender cane that seemed always just ahead of them. About a block behind the Judge came Miss Amanthis. her dainty grey crepe fluttering over her shoulders in the breeze, and her soft gray hair blowing in tantalizing little curls about her pink checks. She didn’t call to the Judge or even try to catch up with him. He would have to return to the post office. She had seen his letters and morning papers scattered on the chair he had vacated during his outburst of patriotism.—so Miss Amanthis walked quietly on behind him till her green picketed gate came into sight—and gray curls, shawl and little old maid disappeared through its friendly picket arms. It came about that just as the judge was returning from the post office—for the second time—Miss Amanthis happened to be out in her side yard trying to spade up some of her last year’s leftover-garden. The spade was big and clumsy—Miss Amanthis was daintily slender and little. The gate was little, too, a small obstacle between a portly gentleman and a maiden in distress. “Oh. Judge.” protested the little old maid still clinging to the shovel,— 62 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL “Amanthis.” exclaimed the Judge, “how many times will I have t«� inform you my name is Klisha.” “Oh, yes,” agreed Miss Amamhis. “I’ll try to remember—Judge Klisha—oh don't don’t dig down so far—you’re so strong—the spade will break—oh—Judge don’t— please!” “Klisha—” All right,” agreed Miss Amanthis, “I’ll try to remember after this—Judge— Klisha. but you’re so very strong you’ll break the spade.” The Judge stopped spading, but spading was a pleasure when Miss Amanthis stood by and remarked about his strength and agility, lie smiled delightedly and continued to dig up the whole space—10 feet by 10 feet exactly—a garden lit for just Red Cross work. “We’re going to have a social soon—Klisha— Miss Amanthis announced across the gate as the Judge brushed off his hat. “and we re to get as much for our tickets as we possibly can.” She looked up quite innocently at the Judge—poor man—he didn’t know that it was for the W ar Relief fund, and gave his check for ten dollars. The night of the social it happened that for the fifth time that month the Judge asked the little old maid the same old—but never worn out—question and Miss Amanthis smiled happily—“Klisha”—she laughed rubbing his gray coat sleeve with cool, pink fingers— You’ve dug my Red Cross garden, you’ve spent twenty-five dollars for the War Relief fund, you’ve planted my Red Cross carrots and potatoes, ami now—because of the Red Cross—I’ll say ‘yes’ if”—ever so softly and shyly came the words— “If what?” “If I can have a Liberty Bond instead of a ring.” “Whew!” exclaimed the Judge joyfully, “I was afraid you’d say instead of a marriage license.” But Miss Amanthis got all three.—ring, license and bond! Margaret Love Wharton, ’21. A SONNET TO SPRING. Oh, how the heart is filled with joy and song, When one doth see a gay blue bird on wing, And charming wrens with straw and grass so long. For all are welcome signs of coming spring. The robin with his feathers all so new. Doth chant a cheery melody for you. The sparrows note with variations few. Doth with the thrush ducts sing through and through. Then Mother Nature clads herself in green. On hill and vale her cloak so new is seen. Sweet, fuzzy pussywillows seem to peek. That they Apollo’s friendly rays might seek. The vernal skies, cloudless, arc blue and clear. And blue-eved violets will soon appear. Edna Kroon. 'IS. 63 THE 1918 POLARIS A DESSERTATION ON EDUCATION.

Pcrcival Drake was a model young man, Tlie most popular beau in Smithtown; His features were flawless, (his dancing was. too,) Among ladies he won great renown. But there happened to come a disturbance, (It started in Europe, you know,) Which grievously frightened young Percy, For he feared he might have to go. . . . “But sir, I simply cawn’t go, I’m sure, —Er, the town is dependent on me.” But his claim for exemption was flatly refused, And by summer he crossed the sea. In mud, knee-deep, toiled Percival, As he manfully dug at a trench ; But ’twas not the Percy of former days But a man now, helping the French.

TELEPHONES BEHOLD the bane oT the house-wife, the convenience of the business man. and the source for gossip in rural communities. The object with such varied uses is the telephone. It is a blessing to mankind if used rightly, but a curse if not. How often, on a cold, wintry night, as the clock was striking twelve, have you heard the jingle of the telephone bell? At this moment, a nice, soft brick would be most desirable. But nothing of the kind being available, you shiveringly advance to answer the phone. Having taken down the receiver, and given the customary salutation. you hear a man's voice, “Hello, iss Yake dere?” Now you happen to know from frequent disturbances of this nature, that a saloon has a number somewhat like yours and that “Yake’s” friend has most likely become restless during the night and wanted the advice of the saloonkeeper. You summon up your deepest bass and angriest tones, and immediately inform this “night bird” concerning the time of day and where he ought to be. Having given full vent to your feelings, you go to bed in a hurry and profoundly hope that he will find the right number next time. Of course, you don’t blame the telephone system for this and deliver a lecture of what you would do. were you the director of an exchange. That wouldn’t be human nature. 66 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL, The next day when you go to the of lice, it suddenly flashes over your hardworking brain, what would happen, wcr„ you to be deprived of a telephone. “Why,” you say, “business would go on the rocks. We just couldn’t get along without the telephone. You will most likely notice, in reading, that last night's experience has entirely escaped your mind and that the telephone is returned to its revered and honored place in society. Do you think you are troubled by the telephone, business man? Well, just ask your wife how many times when baking today, she was obliged to give a hasty daub at her apron atid run to answer the phone, li she doesn’t throw her hands up in the air and answer, “Only about lifty-’leven times,” then I miss my guess. She will tell you that the calls were very important indeed, but that they should have come some other day. When the telephone rings on a party line in the country, if one could look into every house on the line, he would be strongly reminded of the sudden rush for the life-boats when a false alarm is given on a ship. The first one there is the honored person and he or she takes down the receiver very gingerly for fear that the parties who are speaking will hear the click. Then he seats himself in an easy chair and prepares to be amused for awhile, lint what is his surprise to hear one of the parties say, “I think someone is listening on the line. and he, in his astonishment, answers with as much dignity as he can summon, You are mistaken, sir. I am not. Having thus acquitted himself in a most befitting manner, he hangs up the receiver and goes back to his former occupation, lint the telephone stands as meekly as ever, ready to receive whatever language is applied to or into it. Charles Donaldson, '18. THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. As we took down the flag at twilight tonight. Its stars shining silver in the fast dimming light, A thought stole upon us, for what did it stand? In answer came flut'ring: for a justice-loving land. Whose foundation was built on a Gibraltar of truth; Whose ideals took life from the fountain of youth ; Whose portals were guarded by angels of mercy; Its woodland and field each a harbor for all. The oppressed and the weak, and the great and the small; Its breezes speak freedom, from ocean to ocean. A tribute to God, and to His devotion. Ah, find me a land more just and more right. A symbol more perfect than the red, blue and white. And every life-drop from our veins we ll let flow, Ere a star or a stripe be marred by the foe.

Achilles heaved and grunted, and the disc shot through the air some fifty yards. “Thou art not at thy best today, great Achilles,” Patroclus said as he trotted off to measure the distance. Nay, that I am not,” muttered Achilles shortly. “But by the tousled beard of Jove, what is’t that comes down the road?” Patroclus turned and gazed. Some twenty khaki-clad figures, in regular marching order, rounded the bend in a cloud of dust. In their rear labored two overworked mules, tugging at their traces, pulling a lumbering big gun. When the column reached the gymnasium grounds, the leader stopped. Squad halt! At e-e-e-ease! Break ranks! “What kind of a burg is this? And why don’t yon fellows get dressed and be respectable. huh? he accosted Achilles. “Burg?—Get dressed?—Respectable?” murmured Achilles dazedly. “Yes. what joint is this? Where’s our marching orders? What’s the idea of so much raiment? Get us some coffee. Where’s the major? Huh? put in Pat Casey, the gunner. “Joint? Marching orders? Raiment? Coffee? Major? Patroclus queried. In perhaps an hour the tangle was explained. As Pat said: Y'sec an old fella comes up to us and says, ‘Hokus Pokus, Pinkey Ping. Through the ages now you’ll zing,' and we started to march. It seemed like we marched a coupla thousand years, but my watch says it was five minutes. Y’see it’s like this: You’re talking to someone that won’t be born for a tew thousand years, and I’m talking to someone that died a few thousand years ago. See?” “I see.” said Achilles, “great is Almighty Jove. Jove your gran’pa! Jove didn’t have anything to do with this!” Patroclus changed the subject tactfully. “And of what use is this toy? he asked of one of the men. Pat looked at him quccrly. If you want to drink a little ambrosia with the gods, why. just give me the signal and I'll pull the trigger of the little toy. The Greeks were astounded at everything shown them. The French 75 frightened them so that they prayed to Zeus to recall his thunder bolts. The gas masks left them open-mouthed, a bomb wrecked the whole gymnasium, and at last Pat offered Achilles a fight with bayonets and spears. Achilles, although afraid of this super-man. accepted, as he was an adept with the spear. “(), Jove!” he implored, let me strew his body from east to west, from north to south! Ugh. said Jim, the sniper, don’t talk like that. You make me lose my appetite for this gum.” The duel waxed fierce. At last, just as Pat was to run his bayonet through Achilles’ supposed-to-be weapon-proof body.— Pat Casey fell heavily out of bed just as reveille rang out. “Oof! he said. “I guess 'hat’s the time 1 put one over on Achilles.” “Achilles who? said a nearby soldier as he tumbled out of bed. “Achilles Peleuson.

What can you do? Would you leave your father?” “Yes! Pershing has called for a great many Red Cross nurses. Don’t you think I, too, would be a traitor, a miserable wretch, if I, who have had every bit of training necessary in the best of schools, did not do my duty? Daddy, you have just been saying how you wished you had a son who could serve his country in its need. And now. when I say that I, at last, have recognized my duty, you are angry. Daddy. just think, wouldn’t a little service flag look nice in our window?” “Honey.” her father said sadly, “you’re a better citizen than 1 am. Here I’ve been almost wishing I had never let you become a nurse. Just think, your father, not wanting you to be able to help your country! You know, Miriam, I never wanted you to see trouble. But, dearie, if you can bear to see and feel the horrors of war. then I must give you up. My country and your country wants and needs you. I say ‘Go.’ ” “Thank you, daddy. I’m going now to enlist, Miriam added as she placed a kiss upon his forehead. About a month later, a trim little figure waved a white handkerchief to a sadfaced. white-haired man. “God bless you,” he said as he wiped a tear from his eye, when the ship moved far out from the harbor. “1 know you’ll brighten more lives over there than you could at home. I'll miss you. God knows I will, but I’m glad you’re no coward.” Then he glanced at his tiny, silk service flag with its one blue star. With a faint smile he added. Yes. God bless you.

THE 1918 POLARIS MY SAVING EXPERIENCES JL’XE 15. 1918— I have promised to save my money. So I am not going; to the “movies.” or any kind of amusement place. I can’t buy any candy, either. I promised mother I'd save until August 12th. my birthday. June 20—I'm afraid I won’t be able to keep my promise. The very first day, Mary Pickford was at the Rialto. 1 went up to the ticket office before I thought. May was there and giggled till I thought 1 would drop through the door, or rather sidewalk, for everyone stared at me. Mother says my promise means that I'll have to walk to the Gardens, except, of course, on Children’s Day. and 1 hate walking. Yesterday I started out with Harriet. We got stuck in the mud near Silver Bow Creek, and got our shoes caked with dirt. Mine were new white ones. too. Everybody we knew, when they saw we had walked out. stared. We were sights, for out by the Pitismont mine, we got in a dust storm, and we were streaked with dust, and 1 thought we might “bust” we were so hot. , June 28—I've a good notion to give it up. In the first place my shoes were spoiled and mother says I can’t get new ones for it’s an unnecessary expenditure. Then last Saturday, when the rest of the girls at Hctinessy's were paid, they asked when I was going to buy candy and ice cream at the Pallas. I told them 1 wasn’t going to buy any. and Julia called me a “cheap skate. Yesterday. Mrs. McDermott asked me if I wanted to go on a fishing trip to Maiden Rock, and I can't go because that would be “unnecessary expenditure.’’ 1 never want to hear that again. June 30—I’m so angry at myself for promising to save, that I could slap myself. Bather promised to take me to the Electricians’ Ball and. as the tickets arc one dollar, I can’t go. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't told the girls I was going. This morning they asked me if I had a good time. I told them I hadn't gone, and Julia said she’d never believe anything I said from now on. July 15—All the people I know are buying “The Perch of the Devil” now. and because of that old promise I can’t get it. When 1 asked Carrie if I could borrow it. she asked me why I didn’t buy it. I said 1 was saving my money. Then she said: “It’s so funny, you know, vour getting so stingy so suddenly.” Aug. 1.—I felt so humiliated this morning. Thelma asked me whom 1 was going to invite to my birthday party. I told her I wasn't going to have one. and she said: “What on earth makes you so stingy? You never do anything any more, and you used to be so nice.” Aug. 12—I don’t care if 1 never have another birthday party. This morning father and mother gave me fifty dollars’ worth of Thrift Stamps. 1 had saved that much by giving up the party and all the rest. 1 promised to save again until next August. 72 Helen Wales.

The mason quit the wall above my head. Deserted so by all who warmed and fed And sheltered me. my heart was sad and sore.

And since that morning 1 have loved them all. Birger Erickson, T8. TEACHERS TEACHERS are divided into three classes, inhuman, almost human and human. 1 might say super-human also, but that I have never met one. I do not doubt their existence—but 1 have yet to see one. My first teacher was human. I sat and gazed at her as at some entirely new and interesting species of something. And—that afternoon I came late, I came in a full hour late, getting ready to shed buckets of tears at a scolding before all those children (how 1 feared them all). Then and there I decided that I loved her. She didn’t say. “Booh” to me. and she appointed me a monitor on my very first day. How proud I was! After that she offered badges for perfect attendance for a week and a star—a beautiful, gold star, fully as large as a penny—for a full month’s attendance. And I can truthfully say that one of the proudest moments of my life was when my dear teacher pasted a star on the breast of my gingham apron. No football hero ever felt the pride in achievement that 1 felt that day. She was a human teacher. Human! She must have been endowed especially with powers for fascinating little children. I loved school—then. My next year was spent in fear and trembling. After our sweet baby-room teacher this one was a monster. She dragged helpless little girls up in front of the room and made them cry before the whole school-room. I waited in awful suspense for the doom that would he mine—and, like time and tide, it waited not for little me. The little boy in front of me mussed my precious letters one day, and 1, being Irish, promptly slapped his iace. He cried. 1 have never forgiven him for that, although it sounded like a hard slap even to me. Her eyes looked like two giant arc lights glaring right through me. I was requested, in a tone so stiff that I wonder it did not break, to step to her desk. Paralysis chained me to my seat: even the 74 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL little boy's revengeful grin and horrid tongue poked.out at me could not move me. She finally dragged me up by one ear and straggly pig-tail. 1 stood before the class. Awful moment! Was there no hope? I felt like a victim at a stake as I stood there, defiant, before them all. She scolded me; she stormed at me; she reproached me; and all the time 1 stood defiant and without contrition. She asked for no explanation. 1 was too proud to offer one. I looked at her with hard eyes. She would not make me cry. 1 would show her, and I did. She scolded me and 1 stood there, with the eyes of all upon me. until the close of school, still unrepent-ent—and then—I went home and sobbed out my misery to mother. My poor face —1 know it must have been beautiful after weeping all my tears off on it. I distinctly remember one tear, the last of all. which lingered on the point of my nose for so long that I nearly grew cross-eyed looking at it. Oh. yes. I repented at home, but that dragon, that monster, that infamous villain, never knew it. My third term brought the other type. She never was a child. She couldn’t have been. I think she sprang, full-fledged, from the head of the Board of Kduca-tion. It seemed to be her deity, her guardian in all things. If one asked a question which seemed absolutely vital like. “Why should some cities have rivers and others have none?’’ she simply stared at one in stony contempt and continued her discussion in dignified, impersonal tones. Each little boy or girl was an amusing specimen. We were funny—but she was seldom human. Occasionally she would have spasms in which she would appeal to us as no other teacher could—and then—our machine back again. Every teacher I have had since comes under one of these classes. What terrible suspense there is until she is properly classified and laid away in the files of my brain. If teachers could see themselves as a child sees them, there would be more human ones, I know. Dear Human Teacher, here's to you, long may you stay here and teach little girls and boys the blessed lesson of humanity. Isabelle Howe. THE STEEPLE AND THE STAFF.

I think I could say I have seen about the worst phases of this terrible war. What I have seen will always be indelibly written on my mind—the havoc wrought, and the indescribable sacrifices that have been made. The people back in the slates have no conception of what this war really is. and will never know. We left ottr last quarters on Sunday morning and took a long ride in box cars. The first part of the trip was through most picturesque country, with the land plowed and villages looking most prosperous. The last part, however, was through the battlefields of war-torn France. The whole country presenting a devastated appearance, almost indescribable. Nothing but endless rows of deserted trenches and barb-wire entanglements, shell holes, craters, etc., to mark the “hell holes’’—nothing left of the many towns we passed through but piles oi brick and a newly painted sign with the name of the town that had recently stood there. The sky is constantly full of the Allies’airplanes, dying in squadrons. They do daredevil tricks that would cause some excitement back in the States—turning, falling and twisting. At first it kept our attention from our job. but we have grown used to it now. E. Norman (lilkey. Co. B. 6th Engineers, A. E. E. Camp. March 26. 191N. 7ft NORTH HIGH SCHOOL The following letter will give von a slight idea of what I went through since I left Camp Dcvcns, Mass. 1 am now in “club like ' quarters and I am enjoying France immensely. . . . An ocean liner is like a large floating first class hotel; it is so well equipped. The first few days at sea were calm and beautiful. It was during these days that 1 felt a slight uneasiness in my head. 1 knew from that fact that I was due for a course of sea sickness. When we ran into a storm my course commenced. Fating was impossible. Oh. yes: the food was there t«� eat. but for once in my life I wasn't hungry. The storm was some storm. According to my experience at sea, it was the worst I had ever encountered. The waves were high and the ship rocked. Some waves were too high, and some boys were soaked, because they had insisted on feeding the fishes. For a couple of days we had a warm spell. We had plenty of protection in crossing so we never worried about “subs.” When we reached the so-called danger zone, we wore our life belts all the time and slept out on the decks. It was at this stage of my trip I was thrilled, then surprised. It was just when the sun was due to arrive. Our guards reported a light in the distance. Soon every one on board ship was watching the light and awaiting developments. All ships pointed their guns on the light, waiting for it to approach and be recognized. It was a wonderful sight. Everyone was lined up along the rail with life belts on and all guards at the rafts and life boats. F.very one was watching the light. Now it was lit. and then it would go out like the wink of an eye. It was tar oft'. Here is where the surprise comes. It seemed as though I had barely time to wink my eye when right close by in full view was a U. S. sub chaser.” Private Harry Rose, Co. B. 29th Engineers. “I will tell you of the different people we have with us: a woman impersonator. a wrestler (he is the champion of the New England States), a prize fighter. an actor, a high diver from a circus, many musicians, farmers and nearly everything. We were given an outfit which cost about $100.IS. The government only allows us $00. so we have to go without pay until we make up the remaining $40.1S. We got an overcoat, two pairs of excellent shoes, four pairs of socks (two heavy and two light), a sweater, a pair of bathing trunks, a pair of rubber boots, two blue trousers and two white ones, three blue middies and two white, two suits of heavy underwear and two of summer ones, a tie. a flat hat. and a tassel cap. a pair of woolen gloves, three blankets (cream-white), three handkerchiefs, two towels, one spool of white cotton and one of black linen, some needles, a comb, two hair brushes, one clothes brush, a tooth brush, a shoe-shining outfit, two white caps, two large bars of soap (equal to about 50 bars of White Lily soap), and from the Red Cross we got another sweater, and a scarf, andwristlets.” Vernon Babcock, Naval Training Station.

I was there about three weeks. By Easter 1 think we will be on the ocean again, bound for some European port.’' J. A.

It takes weeks and weeks to get your bearings in these wooden cities with some 30.000 men and over 5.000 separate one or two-storied wooden houses. The soldiers get home about once in four weeks, but we Y. M. C. A. men are advised to take one day a week off and that means home for every New Jersey man. such as I am now. and was before I went West last August. Even some of the so-called “horrors of the lunchroom seem tame alongside of the mess of the soldiers' barracks. None goes hungry, but some need a new digestive system to stand the quantity of coarse food that is the menu here.” Samuel II. Cobb. “I am a soldier. I was sworn into the service of Uncle Sam as a private in the infantry branch. As I stood with my right hand upraised, repeating after the officer the oath, 1 could not help thinking of the night of my graduation from North High School, and of the words 1 had spoken and I am glad and exultant to back up my words with action. To me, the moment that I was sworn in as a faithful soldier of the U. S. army should ever remain as, perhaps, the most important moment in my life.” Harry Kregal, Co. 17, Fort McDowell. Angel Island.

Harlie Carrier, who has been attending the officers’ training school, returns this week and will soon be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. We are pretty proud of Harlie down here. The sandstorms we found when we got here still continue and we figure that by this time we have seen the Western half of Texas, all of Arizona and half of California by just watching the sand go by. It has train travel beat by a mile when it comes to seeing a lot of country. Sincerely, William L. H. Mason. “1 have got a job now as bombing instructor and don’t think I will have to go back to France for a while, anyway. Since Canada adopted conscription they arc giving the men who have been wounded better treatment. Some are going back to Canada, but 1 wasn’t hurt bad enough for that. I was specially trained as a bomber before I went across and got to know them pretty well, so I have got this job. I guess I have done all 1 can in France for awhile. Still I am willing to go where they send me.” Clyde Smith. 78 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Our camp is a typical logging camp located in a pine forest. We have a small portable mill running three shifts. We arc also building a real mill. Since coming here, we have done regular pioneer railroad work in clearing a right of way. We work more or less seven days a week. We are putting out lumber of all description. including trench timbers, props, railway ties, for use at the front. Before leaving the University I asked to get out of the office. So now I am in the woods swinging an axe with the rest of the lumberjacks. We couldn’t ask for better weather though the French say we will have it rather warm later on—120 or so in the shade. Camp conditions are excellent, in fact, we have the best camp in France. Fritz O. Lund, Co. F. 4th Bat.. 20th Engineers, A. E.

Will be a regular Frenchman soon. “Wish you would send me the clippings of the football games as they arc played between North and the other schools. We have a good team this year. You could call up Mr. Jackson, the coach, and tell him I’d like to know how the team’s coming. The scenery here is wonderful. Coming in about 6 a. m., the large coral reefs stand out and lighthouses all along. We have a French pilot with us who has been on this coast tor 27 years.

THE 1918 POLARIS Social Events, January Class, ’18 THE first social event of the January, ’18, class was held April 7. 1916. The fates decreed it be a Masquerade Party. The grand march was formed at 8 o'clock. 'Pile first part of the evening was spent by playing games, and the latter half a vain attempt was made in the art of dancing. At ten o’clock the crowd adjourned to the lunch-room where a very delightful lunch was enjoyed. Our debut showed great prospects for the future. Members of the faculty acting as chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Shortridgc and Miss Laura Henry. On October 10. 1916, occurred what proved to be the most elaborate A Junior party that has ever been held at North. Games and “stunts” were planned and carried out. The most striking of these “stunts” was a silhouette depicting the trials of a country lover. At ten o’clock, Walter Stanchfield kindly repaired to the piano and dancing started. Then youthful games diverted the attention of the crowd. At ten-thirty the crowd formed in a double line and marched, or rather rushed, to an excellent spread. After the eleven o’clock closing law forced the bunch to leave the building, most of the company went to their homes, but Howie King waited until morning to sleep. Assisting the committee as chaperones were: Mr. Wilkins, Miss Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Robbins. Great anxiety on the part of we B Seniors led to the Ten Year Future Party. It was held Friday evening, April 20, 1917. in the gym. The party opened with a musical program: 1. “Oh, Dear No,” directed by W. Stanchfield. 2. Solo Dance, Miss Margaret Meder. 3. Song, Faculty Quartet. Immediately following the last number, was a mock wedding. The ceremony was performed by “Rev.” Craig. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Those who kindly assisted were: Mr. and Mrs. Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Hurd, Miss Wilson, Mr. Crawford, Miss Herbert and Mr. Spore. The last and most successful party of the class was the Patriotic Party. It was held in the girls’ gym. Friday evening, December 21. 1917. Patriotic favor caps were worn by all. Several stunts were carried out. but The stunt was the quartet contest. Mr. Shepherd and three accomplices deserve credit for their slender harmony in singing. “My Body Lies Over the Ocean.” A greater part of the evening was spent in dancing. Marked improvement was shown by all. Owing to present conditions, frappe and wafers were served instead of an elaborate luncheon. The evening was immensely enjoyed by all. Those acting as chaperones were: Miss Nelson. Mr. Crawford, Miss Peterson, Mr. Krunster, Miss Mann. Mr. Shepard.

The number of official class parties were limited to one a semester. These parties were all planned with a note « f simplicity and kept at a minimum expense. Individual members have also foregone the pleasure of extensive entertaining which created a spirit of unity in all class affairs. With this spirit, the June class. ’IS. made its debut into the social world at North High. On the evening of November 29, 1916, the first class affair was held in the school building. The grand march formed at eight-fifteen o’clock, and proceeded immediately to the dining room, where the unique stunt of beginning the evening with a supper was inaugurated. During the supper hour a number of toasts and vocal solos were furnished by the committee in charge. Two hours of entertaining then followed in the recreation room, the time being equally divided between games and dancing. Members of the faculty acting as chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. Shortridgc, Mr. and Mrs. Saxby. Mr. and Mrs. Davis. Mr. and Mrs. Hurd and Miss Laura Henry. With the coming of the spring of 1917. came a mass of enthusiasm to the members of the class. The committee chosen to arrange the spring affair, was in harmony with nature in her attempt to throw off her prosaic winter garments, and a masquerade party was the result. The evening of March 30, marked the event of the affair. The members of the class presented themselves in costumes showing much originality and individual characteristics. Florence Hill and Sadie Kaplen won the favor of the judges because of the simplicity and minimum expense governing the planning of their costumes. An orchestra, costumed to represent various nations, furnished the music. A grand march, led by Miss Marshall and Ezra Hutchins, was followed by two hours of dancing. Assisting the committee as chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. Robbins, Miss Marshall and Mr. Wilkens. The first afternoon affair was held on October 10. 1917. It was in the form of an informal “How-do-you-do” party. The purpose of the party was to introduce members of the class to one another, and to unify class spirit and interests for the work of the Senior year. The chief diversion of the afternoon was dancing. The class was well represented, and the purpose for which the party wa planned was accomplished. The atmosphere of success and determination which has always pushed the June class, ’18. to the front, was a factor which helped to carry the party of December 22 over the top. The party was a complete success in every detail, and an attempt to duplicate it would be futile. • 2 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL After a short but most delightful program, consisting of: Vocal Sojo Frdda Cohen Drill X Y Squad Vocal Solo ....................

The social calendar of the June class. ’IX. reached its climax on April 12. 1918, in one of the most charmingly individual parties North has seen for a long time. The affair was in the nature of a Japanese Garden party. The gymnasium was elaborately decorated with flowers, vines, Japanese lanterns, parasols and fans. Costumes constructed on Japanese lines were worn by the committee on arrangements. by those appearing on the program and by a number of the members of the class. At the close of the grand march, chrysanthemum favors were presented to everyone. Tea and sandwiches were served during the dance. The chaperones were: Mr. Crawford, Mr. Kuenster.

The idea of war savings societies originated in England and was tried and proved successful there in 1917. In the United States our careless habits of spending, the self-indulgence of the people generally. were noted by bankers, economists and “reformers” long before the grim struggle came upon the world. Here a small proportion of the population had savings accounts. The postal savings banks were not generally patronized. It was difficult to start the scheme of accumulating small amounts. In the East, however, five years ago the initial impulse was given by so-called Vacation and Christmas clubs in connection with the banks which handled accounts as low as two cents a week. This system succeeded. primarily, in demonstrating the case of saving for special needs. Two years later the idea was copied in the middle west. Those who formerly scoffed, finally joined and acquired substantial accounts and habits of thrift. With the entrance of our country into the great World War, costs of living increased. money was needed to equip and maintain the army and navy, transport food and munitions to our allies. The three Liberty Loan drives have made millions of citizens United States bondholders, but the majority could not participate. England tried out the experiment of War Savings societies in 1917 and this year we followed suit, thus enlisting old and young, rich and poor, for war service. This enabled thrift for all time. The goal immediately set was two billions of dollars to be raised in one year. For Minneapolis this means twenty dollars average for every person. Our experience already has revealed to many the true value of money, the pleasure and the profit of earning and saving, the joy of service. 'The system should never be dropped. The Minneapolis Schools have already a national reputation for leadership in war activities. They were early organized for Red Cross and Garden Army work, and this past winter adopted the War Saving Society idea with a distinctly military plan. North High was one of the first to organize Thrift Clubs on a democratic basis. All who bought one or more thrift stamps were enrolled as members of the “Junior Club”; any who secured a War Savings stamp was thereby made a member of the Senior Club. Thirty-nine rooms were so organized and the entire membership constituted the War Savings Regiment fully officered with a member of the faculty, Mr. Shephard, in charge as colonel. 94 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Through the military form considerable help was given in the organization of two patriotic parades, one by the entire school advertising the Red Cross Benefit in April and the other in the Third Liberty Loan drive when 25.000 pupils were in line. Over 1.200 students have qualified for membership in our regiment. The total sales of stamps May first amounted to $2,100.00. The spirit of friendly competition between rooms and classes was aroused and kept alive by charts, reports of progress and four minute speakers. The faculty Senior Club got into the contest but ten rooms won out first in going “over the top by securing 100 of their enrollment. The record at this writing shows rooms E, K, 1 . 118. 123, 127. 231, 233, 239, 347, 348, 349 in the lead. Before the close of the semester we hope and expect to see the majority of the rooms in the same class. . � The lesson of service is the one lesson we must all learn. In these times of intense misery, of strain and sacrifice, of unremitting struggle and battle for the existence of little children, the honor of men and nations, the welfare of humanity and the ideals of civilization, we should meet the stirring appeal and act. Our own boys are dying in France, many more will make “the supreme sacrifice.” How small and petty seem our efforts to back the men who fight for us! Nothing less than our own conscription of personal resources will do. As a final word let me quote from Citizen Soldier No. 258: “For us, the steel swept trench, the stiffening cold, weariness, hardship, worse. For you for whom we go, you millions safe at home—what for you? We shall need food. We shall need care. We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure, supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never-ending. From you who are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity for which we smile and strive, must come these things.” W. H. Shephard. Gentian Troop—Girl Scouts of America OX May 6th, 1917, a new organization was enrolled beneath the banner of the Girls’ League, the first troop of Girl Scouts to be formed in North High School. As each troop of Girl Scouts adopts as its name and crest, the name of some flower, tree, or shrub, this troop chose the fringed gentian, as its blue color would show the true-blue Scout spirit, and also embody the blue of the North colors. Under the leadership of Captain Helen F. Little, and Lieutenant Marbry Durvea. the troop at once began the Girl Scout program of work and play, which • is to make possible the Scout motto, “Be prepared mentally, morally, and physically for all life’s emergencies. So enthusiastically was the Scout schedule pursued that on July 12th, the troop held its first investiture ceremony, and took the oath of allegiance. Everyone passed the third-class or “Tenderfoot tests. Unlike other school organizations, the Scouts 95 THE 1918 POLARIS hold regular mootings all summer, and besides enjoyed to the utmost their summer camp at Orchard l.ake under the chaperonagc of Miss Charlotte Jepson and Miss Marbry Duryoa. In the fall the troop went to work on the second class tests, which were passed l v the majority of the troop in time to compete for proficiency badges for Field Day. Owing to the number of badges awarded to Gentian troop, we won first honors in the Field Day events. Alice Bartel was awarded seven badges, the largest number obtained by any one girl. Other Gentian Scouts awarded badges were Orrell Lee. Ina Lee. Jeanette Leach. Marjorie Strom. Margaret Oakey, Anna Carleson, and Florence Scott. These badges were given for work done in the following lines: au-tomobiling. cookery, housekeeping, laundry-work, sewing, interpreting, nature study, music, invalid cookery, public health, and child-nurse. The troop at present numbers twenty-two. The Second Class scouts are: Anna Carleson. Alice Bartel, Mabel Bartel, Orrell Lee. Ina Lee. Marjorie Strom, Jeanette Leach, Margaret Oakey, Joy Johnson. Florence Scott, Lenore Person. Fern Johnson. The Tenderfoot scouts are: Jane Wilkinson, Lyra Tvra, Margaret Cammom, Charlotte Erhardt. Catherine Wilkinson, Inez Scott, Marcella Peterson, Wilhelmina Haue-ter. Myrtle Carlson. Dorothy Budge. The officers are: Patrol Leaders. Alice Bartel and Marjorie Strom; Treasurer. Ina Lee: Secretary, Lyra Tyra; Nurse. Florence Scott; Reporter. Anna Carlson. The War work done by Gentian Troop has included surgical dressings and hospital garment work. These activities were begun in July and continued every Saturday morning at the Church of the Redeemer. Oakum picking, scrap-books, work on comfort kits, and packing at the Northern Division, as well as much knitting were done by individual members. Social Service work has included the giving of food and clothing to two poor families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, the presentation of an Old English Christmas program at Wells Memorial for the annual neighborhood party, the Scout drill and song given as part of an entertainment at the Shubert Theater for the knitting fund at Wells Memorial, and volunteer work at Unity House and Girl Scout Headquarters. The Scout program is not all work, however, as will be seen irom the following good-time reports: hikes to Glenwood. Lily Hill. Camden Park. Sibley House at Mendota; a week-end party at Orchard Lake in October; an indoor picnic supper at the home of the Captain in September; a toboggan party and supper at the home of Fern Johnson: a Christmas party at the home of the Captain; a dancing party in the Gvm. and another at Unity House: a party at the new home of Orrell and Ina Lee in March; an all-day hike to Miss Edgar's log-cabin near Bloomington during Spring Vacation, as well as the regular Wednesday hikes when we enjoy ozone, and semaphore about the hills of Glenwood. f NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 97 THE 1918 POLARIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Girls’ League The year has been a busy one for the Girls’ League. Most of its activities have been devoted to war work, for which a voluntary collection of $144.10, given by the school in October, gave a generous start. In the fall term, knitting was most ]M� | ular, and about two hundred girls under twenty-five captains, made up an enthusiastic army which has finished 350 articles, consisting of 132 sweaters, ‘X) pairs of wristlets, 42 helmets, 3N trench caps, 45 pairs of socks and 3 scarfs. Miss Clay and Miss Hoff have been faculty advisers, and have been such ardent workers that the knitting fever has permeated the school, and even the boys have caught it. The French Relief club, under Miss W est’s direction, has done most faithful work, making children’s garments for the Orphelinat des Armces in Paris, and stimulating the adoption of French orphans in the school. This club managed the collection of clothing for refugees in the school. It numbers 26 girls. Work in surgical dressings was carried on at the Dayton Station from October until February by a small group of girls on Saturday mornings. February 5th, the North High Surgical Dressings Station was opened, and the number of workers has been constantly increasing, so that there are now registered 120 girls and 12 boys—14.145 dressings have been made during the year to May, and as the seriousness of the war comes home to us. more and more students feel impelled to give two hours on Tuesdays to this most important Red Cross service. Scrap-books. Americanization charts, and Scout work have been other forms of war work. We have two fine troops of Girl Scouts, the Gentian, and the I'ussywillow. Both have maintained a very high standard and are doing splendid service under their captains. Miss Little and Miss Peterson. Speakers during the year have been chiefly for Red Cross topics. Mrs. Horace Lowrv. Mrs. W. F. Decker, Mrs. Mortimer Forrest, who is now in Y. M. C. A. canteen service in France; Mrs. Frb. also now in France, and Mrs. F. W. Backus. Food Conservation and War-time Recreation are topics for consideration in April and May. GIRLS' LEAGl'F.

The North High Unit was organized February 3th, 1918, with an attendance of twenty-three, and met at first in Room 7. but the increasing numbers made larger quarters necessary, and. through the help of the Literary Society, additional table covers were bought and the Library was fitted up for Red Cross work. April 5th, a class of boys started work, and they will meet regularly in Room 7. Meetings are held Tuesdays from 2:30 to 4:30. There is a registered membership of 120 girls and 12 boys. During February. March and April 10.632 dressings were made. The Garden Army Soldiers alone cannot carry on a war successfully. Battles cannot be won with empty commissaries. Troops must be equipped. Armies must be fed. No soldier can endure the hardships of a campaign unless he is properly nourished. It is the purpose of the Garden Army to help furnish the necessary food for Our Boys in the trenches somewhere over there.” The Garden Army was organized in this school pril, 1917. by the Botany Department, under the supervision of Miss Clara Frdmann. one of the botany teachers. Four hundred and fifty students enlisted. There were two groups, a patriotic group and a credit group. The credit division met once every week during the remaining months of school, and for eight weeks in the summer, for garden instruction. Fach garden, kept by a member of this division, was inspected once every two weeks by the university helpers: Lucile Ziegelmeier. Doris I-oh ft and Hazel Holt. Miss Erdmann visited each garden of both divisions once during the summer. Three vegetable exhibits were held in which the members of the Garden Army had opportunities to sell their vegetables. Onions, potatoes, cabbages, radishes, beans and carrots were a few of the products sold. 102 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Prizes were awarded by the President of the North Side Commercial Club to the three who kept the best gardens. The firs: prize of ten dollars went to Carol Greaves. Theodore Malmsten won the second prize of six dollars, and Claude Sowden, the third prize of four dollars. Carol Greaves was only fourteen years old at the time. In his garden, forty by eighty feet, from one dollar’s worth of seed, he raised the following vegetables: peas, three bushels; beans, two bushels; onions, five bushels: tomatoes, seven bushels; carrots, three bushels; rutabagas, three bushels. Does this not show that a garden is worth while? The Garden Army was re-organized in April. 1918. by the Botany Department. Enlistments were secured by members of the public speaking classes. Garden instruction began the second week of April, and will continue until September. The gardens will be kept up until frost. Much more extensive plans have been laid for this year. We expect to cooperate with the Garden Army of Minneapolis in having a community garden and market. The continuance of these will depend upon the demands of the neighborhood. Not only gardening, but also canning, drying and storing of vegetables will be taught. The Garden Army indicates a success for the coming season. All members are very enthusiastic, diligent, hard-working and eager to help Uncle Sam feed his boys and the Allies “over there.” Emanuel L. Philipp. Governor of Wisconsin, says. “The most important problem that confronts us now, and which must be met in no uncertain way. is to provide a supply of food. If you are a true supporter of the red. white, and blue, and what it stands for. you will join the Garden Army. Remember those who are giving their lives that we may live! If we. at home, cannot give our lives, we can at least help those who are doing so. by setting aside an hour a day for garden work. Do your utmost! Gladys Hiller. Botany Department MISS BERTHA WILSON was the first teacher of science in North High School. Her work included instruction in Botany. This she did from 1890-1899. Miss Grace Hayes taught this subject as well as others for the succeeding five years. In 19C4. Miss Elizabeth H. Foss came to teach Botany and Physical Geography. Since the erection of the new High School the department has been more useful to the school than ever before. The attractive shrubbery and the garden furnish material for plant study and for beautifying the building. I'hc greenhouse and laboratory give opportunity for practical work with plants along horticultural lines. In 1916. Miss Clara Erdmann came as part-time assistant: in 1917 as full-time teacher, doing the summer work of garden instructor. For the first time in the history of the school a third term of instruction will be offered along the line of plant industry. So the two teachers arc more than busy. North Hiirh Green Houne THE 1918 POLftRIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL The Park Board ORTII 111(111 has many organizations, some of which arc better known than others. However, the organization which is heard of the most is not always the most important. One. comparatively little known, yet very effective, is the Park This Board is composed of wide-awake, loyal students, who are willing to do their best to improve the appearance of both the school grounds and the school’s interior. In the past years there have been attempts made along this line. The Girls’ League and the lli-Y Club have previously appointed committees for this purpose, and bv their efforts the ball was started rolling. This year, however, we have maintained an organization on an entirely different plan. A chairman has been appointed for each floor, and a committee composed of two students from each, room, has been selected. These committees have complete charge over the decorations which adorn the windows of the different rooms. They have organized into separate units, each of which has for its object the desire to keep its floor the most beautiful in appearance. The officers of the different floors are as follows: hirst floor: Chairman, Harold Kohl; Secretary, Helen dates. Second floor: Chairman. Theodore Menzel; Secretary. Arthur Kerkhof. Third floor: Chairman. Walter Lewis; Secretary. Margaret Wharton. The purpose of this organization is to beautify the school. Plants arc secured from our greenhouse on Tuesday mornings and are returned Thursday nights. The difference in the atmosphere of the school has been very noticeable since the flowers and foliage have been placed in the rooms. Strange as it may seem, in the halls surrounding the Auditorium we have trees, something of which no other school in the city can boast. To stimulate interest, the third floor rooms are having a contest based on punctuality in returning plants, and the beauty of the rooms. A prize will be awarded to the winning room. At present two rooms are running a close race. The second floor committee took upon itself the task of placing window boxes. These have added considerably to the appearance oi the second floor. The first floor park board was the originator of the idea of placing Christmas trees in the hall during Yuletide. Every year an elm tree is planted on the school premises on Arbor Day. The honor of the planting is usually conferred upon the Senior class. This custom will be continued in the hope of attaining the end—beauty. One thing which has been and which we hope t � accomplish in the near future, is the planting of two evergreens. one on each of the Fremont entrances in memorial of the brave men who lost their lives fighting the fire which destroyed old North High. Remember! North is the only High School in the city having an organization of this type, it is the only High School having floral decorations in its halls and rooms. Much credit is due to Miss Foss, who has been untiring in her effort to make this organization a success. Let us stand behind the North High Park Board. Board.

The committee held a mock-wedding feast in the girls’ gym in November, and in December they went on a most enjoyable sleighride. “KING HAL The comic opera, King Hal.” was presented before a large and interested audience on the evening of March the fifteenth. The cast consisted of the first and second CiUe Clubs, assisted by the orchestra. The opening scenes were particularly brilliant and gave an added zest to the performance. The choruses were especially noticeable as we had been trained to the best of our ability by our leader, Mr. Carr. In the sec md act. the members of the second Cdee Club were given first place and they carried their responsibility in fine style.

The second troop was organized in November, six months after the Gentian Troop. Miss Evelyn Peterson, General Science teacher, was chosen Captain. They chose the Pussywillow for their crest, and are known by their gray shoulder knots. They are applying the ten Scout Laws: Truth. Loyally, Helpfulness, Friendliness. Courtesy. Kindness. Obedience, Cheerfulness. Purity and Thrift in the various divisions of the Girls League, such as Surgical Dressings, French Relief. Scrap-books, and the Emergency Committee. They have been using their local dues in sending scrap-books to a Red Cross Hospital in Paris. Their first Ceremony of Investiture of Scouts was held March 15. 1918, at which the following girls became Tenderfoots: Xorah Lawric. Agnes Kaavsc, Joy Millar. Dorothy Goodale, Mildred Moon. Gladys Munson. Ruth Williams. The officers of the troop are as follows: Patrol Leaders, Xorah Lawric and Gladys Munson; Corporals, Agnes Kvaase and Ruth Williams. Mildred Moon is troop nurse. Joy Millar and Kthelwyn Sutton are Troop Reporters. There are fourteen candidates for Tenderfoot class. One hike in particular stands out as we review the year's activities, the trip to the Scout cabin at Edgcwood on March 17. All enjoyed cooking over the fireplace and scouting around the bluff. During Spring Vacation a camp-fire was built near (llenwood. In the big parade held April 2 as a forerunner of the Xorth High Carnival, the Pussywillows marched in uniform. The afternoon and evening of the Carnival, held April 5. they were in charge of the scrap book exhibit and also, together with the Gentians, showed in the main hall the various activities of the Girl Scout work. “Watch the Pussywillows grow!” Orchestra THE Xorth High Orchestra now has an enrollment of thirty members, under the direction of Mr. Carr. Xorth has two orchestra divisions. The second orchestra is open to all students who play, or wish to play any instrument. Promotions into the first orchestra are made when vacancies occur. Thus the second organization serves as a waiting list and a step in promotion. We may be justly proud of our orchestra. It is unusual for a high school orchestra to have an Oboe player: in fact, Hobart Farnham is the only one in all the state high school orchestras. Other features are two French-horn and three viola players. 10Q THE 1918 POLRRIS ■ — ———■ When the School Hoard announced last fall that it was not able to supply funds for new music, the orchestra resolved to earn its own. With this end in view, it has played at various churches throughout the city, among which are: Temple Baptist, Calvary Methodist, Forest Heights Congregational. North Methodist and First Methodist South F.ast. Many of us can recall the time when the “Deacon’s Masterpiece was offered in co-operation with the Glee Clubs. This selection is recognized as being exceptionally difficult for an amateur orchestra. Then, too. there was “King Hal,” an operetta produced by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. Besides, our company of musicians supplied appropriate music for the Class play. Commencement, for many patriotic programs, and for various other occasions. I Kenneth l.indskog, ‘18. Hi-Y Club The North High division of the Hi-Y Club has had a successful year during 1917-18. as far as the amount of work accomplished is concerned. This club, which is connected with the Y. M. C. A., has been an active organization in respect to war service. The boys of the Hi-Y Clubs of Minneapolis secured the major part of the V. M. C. A. Boys’ War Work Fund. The establishment of thrift stamp stations on the North Side was in the hands of the Hi-Y Club. Last March the Campaign of Friendship, which enabled 75 North High fellows to have a thirty minute interview with some prominent business man. was successfully completed. During April the club worked recruiting boys for farm work. The purpose of this club is “To create, maintain, and extend a high standard of Christian Character throughout the school and community.” Membership is open to all Junior and Senior boys. During the last year such men as Rev. Sweet. W. F. Webster. Arthur Cotten, O. R. Tripp. 11. F. Burt and Dr. Donaldson have spoken to us on such subjects as “Challenge of the Times to High School Boys, “America's Place in the War.” “Y. M. C. A. War Work. “Were I a Boy Again. “Boys.” “Fight for 1 Jemocraev.” “Service.” “Sacrifice.” “Sexual Hygiene and “Third Line of Defense. Next year the club intends to come forward more than it has in the past. and its aim will be to make our school the cleanest in athletics, the school with most self control, and thus the best high school in the state.

An honor roll has been kept up and extracts from soldiers’ letters and news otherwise interesting, have been features of each month’s publications. Copies of the Polaris have been mailed to every hoy on North High’s honor roll. At the North Carnival, the Polaris, in connection with the Literary Society, sold postal cards which were mailed to the boys “over there. It is also noteworthy that in the past year, as never before, every member of the staff has had an opportunity to prove his ability. A circling editorship took the place of the chief and associate editors of former semesters. Under this plan each of the four editors edited the magazine alternating months. The staff wishes to thank Miss Leet and the Polaris committee: Miss Marshall. Miss Letzter, Mr. Saxbv. Mr. Wilkins. Miss Wilson. Mr. Kingwalt. Miss Little. Miss Carlson. Miss Brockway and Miss Blaisdell, for their kindly advice and ready help at all times during the past year. 113 THE 1918 POLARIS Dorothy Strom Harry Abramson Mnrjrarct Converse Max Shapiro DEBATE TEAM Robert Luce Kuthrine Brnchcr 114 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Debate HE question debated this year was. “Resolved, that the various states should establish schedules of minimum wages for unskilled labor, constitutionality The first contest in the state league consisted of a triangular arrangement with C’okato and Howard Lake. On the evening' of January 11th. Maxwell Shapiro, Harry Abramson and Robert Luce won a unanimous decision on the affirmative against the boys’ team from C’okato. On the same evening, Kathrine Bracher. Margaret Converse and Dorothy Strom won another unanimous decision over the girls’ team of Howard Lake. North had the negative and the debate was held at Howard Lake. The third debate, on the evening of January 11th, was held at Cokato. The girls of Cokato defeated the boys of Howard Lake with a divided decision. Princeton had entered the league, but had withdrawn, so North's two unanimous decisions made her champion of the tenth district. The first inter-district debate was held in our auditorium on February 20th. North High again took the affirmative, and. through the good work of Harry Abramson. Robert Luce and Maxwell Shapiro, won a unanimous decision over Lakefield. Mr. Ciasink then arranged an outside debate with Duluth for March 1st. Kathrine Bracher. Dorothy Strom and Margaret Converse composed the team for North. The Duluth debate was by far the best debate of the season, interesting both to the audience and to the debaters themselves. Duluth won a unanimous decision over North's girls, who had taken the negative. The semi-final debate for the state championship was between Ortonville and North High. The debate was held in our auditorium on March 22nd. This time North’s team consisted of Maxwell Shapiro. Margaret Converse and Robert Luce. North, having the negative, lost to Ortonville by a divided vote, leaving Ortonville to enter the finals of the state league. Although North did not win the championship this year, the school loyally supported their two teams throughout the whole debate season. In recognition of their work, each debater received the usual gold pin for their first debate, with a pearl for each additional one. The felt letter, which is given by vote of the faculty committee to those entitled to especial credit because ot both debate work and their studies, was presented to Maxwell Shapiro. Robert Luce and Margaret Converse. The Inter-Class debates this year were interesting and well-fought. For the first time in years the Sophomores won the scht l championship. This victory means that the class of 1920 will hold the cup permanently if they win the championship one more year. The winning team was Helen Russell.

It was at first intended to make this a class in advanced argument, chiefly tor the benefit of the school team. So many pupils wished to enter, and so many opportunities for helpful work were offered, that the class outgrew in number and purjxjse the original plan. Nineteen pupils, mostly Seniors took the course. Because it was altogether elective, and its members chiefly A students, the class was a success from the start. Speeches were asked for. and given, throughout the school in behalf of the garden army, war savings, the Polaris, and many other projects. But it was in the Red Cross cause the class first really found itself. Here was a real subject, a cause of vital moment, and audiences responsive and helpful. Teams of two or more went to all the North Side Grades Schools and urged the support of the Red Cross Bazaar. The results were fine. One whole school came in a body and the class felt that a part of the success of that event was the result of their efforts. In the Third Liberty Bond Campaign the several members of the class distinguished themselves. Speeches were made in the (irades, in our own auditorium, and elsewhere urging the- jieople to support our Government. Probably the best single speech was that of Florence Nixon given to the bond salesmen at the North Side Commercial Club. Government certificates for Junior four-minute men were given 116 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL to Dorothy Strom. Margaret Converse, Florence Nixon, Robert Luce. Max Shapiro and Harry Abramson. Four of the boys, Sam Dolf. W illiam Clark, Sam Rosen, and Harry Abramson made practical use of their training by selling Liberty Bonds. Credit is especially due to the president of the class, (’.race Xystrom for her able leadership. In all, we feel that in its work this semester, the class justified its existence. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTEST. This contest was the first of its kind among the Nigh Schools of the State. Twelve subjects of current interest were given out. Each contestant studied all twelve and then chose his subject by lot before the contest. All B juniors tried out in Mr. (iasink's and Mr. Saxby’s classes. When the number was reduced to six, the contest for the district championship was held in our auditorium before the whole school. Here first place was won by David Goldfish. In the final contest at Macal-ester, David won second place and a beautiful silver medal, being beaten only by the winners of last year’s discussion contest. It was a splendid accomplishment for his first contest. DISCUSSION CONTEST. For the second year. North entered the Discussion Contest held under the auspices of Macalester College. In the inter-district contest with St. Paul Central, North was represented by William Blaisdell. David Goldstein and Harry Kaplan. The question was, How should the world be organized to insure a permanent peace.” Understanding that learned speeches were not intended, the North speakers had prepared for a different type of contest than had their opponents, and first place was given to one of the St. Paul boys. There are now four state leagues for the encouragement of public speaking: declamation, debate, discussion and extemporaneous speaking. The quality of our public speaking work is seen in the fact that the North High representative is the district director in all. 117 THE 1918 POLRRIS 118 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Literary Society THIS year of turmoil, this year of all years, is one in which the North High Literary Society lias established a record that will prove an enviable one to succeeding years. It has given up its series of programs and has made its motto, “Loyal Service” during these troubled times. The first and foremost accomplishment is the Service Flag. After months of work, a beautiful Hag was presented to the school. It is the symbol of North High’s enthusiasm and patriotism. It signifies thal North has given to the cause and that some of our noble boys have made the supreme sacrifice. The Annual Banquet occurred January thirtieth. Splendid toasts and speeches were given and it was a great success. The Annual Declamatory Contest took place March eighth. The contestants were: William Blaisdell. Chester Loucks, Sam Dolf, Max Shapiro, William Clark. Rosa Burnett. Mildred Sussman. Bessie Rivkin, and Bernice Lonegran. W illiam Blaisdell and Rosa Burnett were the winners. On March sixth, Miss Works, teacher of expression at Central High, gave several readings from Robert Service. Thus the North High Literary Society has. and will, continue to make good and will raise ever higher and higher the name it has established. Inez Webb. Secretary. W. Abnmuvitx R. Williams, J.

William Blaisdell and Rosa Burnett, represented North at the State Declamatory Contest held the latter part of March. The North High Band Till ’ story of the North High Band this year reads like a novel—beginning with tragedy, but everything corning out all right in the end. With half of the “back field” lost by graduation, we started out bravely to fill the lost ranks. One by one, each apprentice for the most important vacancies took sick, languished by the wayside, or quit school entirely. The band now, however, has a membership of sixteen, including Mr. Carr, the bass drum, and the conductor’s music rack! However, it cannot he said that the enthusiasm of the players has been dampened or that their apparent usefulness at all diminished. Everyone remembers how the “Street-Carr” band played at all the football games last fall; and also this spring, how, generaled by Mr. Carr and Mr. Leslie, the band heralded the approach of all the most important patriotic parades on the North Side in this eventful year of war. The hand is working out plans for next year by which it hopes to increase both its usefulness and the pleasure and profit to its members. 121 THE 1918 POLPxRIS Boys’ Glee Club The ship has weathered every wreck, the awful storm is past.” These words, when applied to our club, give the most lucid and direct explanation oi the past season’s work. From the outset last September, tenors of quality and range, with a few exceptions, made themselves conspicuous by their absence at North High. However, Mr. Carr did not stop at this handicap, but kept an open car for any material which presented itself in the chorus classes. Suffice to say, we have a tenor section with us again which is capable of competing with the coming Carusos of any other school in the city. The club has been busy during the past year, not only with the staging of “King Hal.” but also in singing at patriotic functions throughout the city, giving programs at churches, the Art Institute. schools and other places; and last, but not least in assisting the Orchestra. Girls’ Glee Club and chorus classes in auditorium rendition of Fletcher’s Humorous Cantata. “The Deacon’s Masterpiece.” Paul Hartig. Girls’ Glee Club, 1917-18 THIS department oi the musical life of North High reports a busy, profitable and painstaking year. The club organized and set to work at the beginning of the year and lias kept up its activities with a fidelity and thoroughness that has produced good results. Under the leadership of our musical director, Mr. Raymond X. Carr, we have been able to render a grade of music which has brought to us personally a higher appreciation of the realm of vocal music, a keener sense oi the necessity of thorough training, and has had a beneficial influence on the whole school. W e all feel that we are very much indebted to our leader for his patience and labor in helping us attain a broader understanding of the real value of music. Mr. Carr made it possible for us, together with the Boys’ Glee Club, to give sacred concerts in some of the larger churches on the north side and elsewhere in the city on Sunday evenings. We think this an added honor to our school. Any money gained by these sacred concerts has been used to buy much needed music. This has been the first year the Club has purchased its own music, without drawing on the school funds. It was a crowded auditorium that heard “King Hal.” and it certainly reflected credit upon the school, as well as making a large sum which went into different organizations, with a worthy proportion going to Red Cross work. To further show that our work has gained notice, we were asked this spring to assist the “Women’s Choral Club of Minneapolis, in a Musical Festival. The officers are as follows: President. Marion B.

A “Championship'’ team was anticipated by all the “dopestcrs of the City. But. by some misfortune or other, fate seemed to be against the team. Everything seemed to go well until some untimely, and unlooked-for event would throw the whole team into confusion. which usually ended in defeat. NORTH VS. DUNWOODY. SEPT. 29. Score 6 0 North opened its Football season by playing Dun-woody. Both teams showed good defensive work. North used a new “shift to good advantage. In the second half North showed greater strength, than was first exhibited. Dunwoody tried some “shoe-string plays, but was unable to successfully execute them. The feature of the game was the interception of a pass by Levin, which resulted in a touch-down for North. NORTH VS. CENTRAL, OCT. 5. Score 0 0 North played its first game for the City “Championship against Central High, Minneapolis. The game was full of pep and furnished many thrills. In the first quarter Central puzzled North with one of its plays, but they did not gain much ground. During the second quarter North solved the problem and held the Central offensive. The second half showed a great improvement in North’s offensive. They gained five yards to every one of Central’s. North took the ball within a few feet of Central's goal, but each time a misplay spoiled the chances of a touch-down. Capt. Scott. Smock, Erhardt, and Middlemist were easily the stars for North. NORTH VS. ST. PAUL CENTRAL, OCT. 12. Score 6 7 The annual Football game between St. Paul and North ended in a victory for the down-river team, after a fierce, hard-fought struggle. North outplayed Central at all times, but lacked the right field generalship and final punch to put the ball over the line. Central won the game by intercepting a poorly executed pass. Then North took the ball straight down the field for a touch-down in three minutes, but failed to kick ffoal. . � ; 129 THE 1918 POLARIS 130 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 131 THE 1918 POLPxRIS NORTH VS. WEST. OCT 19. Score 21 0 North swamped the West team in a fast game. The North Coach used more second team men in this game, than in any other of the season. It seemed that no matter which man was put in. the team played in unison and with team work. One of the features of the game was a 40-vard run fora touch-down by MuIIin; another was an intercepted pass by (Hotter, which resulted in an additional touchdown for North. NORTH VS. SOUTH OCT. 26. Score 0 6 The North-South game proved to he the biggest frazzle in the team's career. In the first quarter North started straight for a touch-down, but a 15-yard penalty followed by another for 5 yards took the heart out of them. From then on, the teams fought evenly until the last five minutes of play; then queer pranks brought the ball to North’s five-yard line. South, after being repulsed for three downs, put the ball over the line. NORTH VS. EAST. NOV. 2. Score 7 10 North’s last game was a very sad disappointment to all North-side sport followers. The team was expecting a fierce, hard-fought battle. They got it, but failed to come up to expectations in their offensive. In this game North still showed the lack of a reliable quarterback, who could guide the team to victory. The game looked as ii it would stand as a tie. but a drop-kick by Bros gave East the deciding points. Paul Wilken. RESULTS OF FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. 1917. Central—won 3—tied 1.

The teams, at the beginning of the season, were fairly well matched, but the Seniors and Juniors seemed to be the strongest contenders for the “title.” The Sophomores and Freshmen had better teams than the average. In the initial games the Seniors won from the Sophomores and the Juniors won from the Freshmen. The Seniors had to forfeit their game, because they played an ineligible man. From that time the Seniors were out of the race, because not enough eligible players would turn out. The Seniors had a change of players every game, which made team work an impossibility. They ended the season losing only one game, besides the forfeited one. which was a fine showing despite the handicaps they faced. The Juniors were handicapped, after the second week, because some of the players went to work and necessarily were unable to take part. The Juniors ran a good race in 1916-1917 and expected to take the “cup” this year, but with so many regulars missing they were forced to lag behind. The Sophomores put up a hard light in the initial game with the Seniors, but lost after an extra five minutes of play. The Sophomores had a few fellows, who came out steadily and developed team work, which gave them the advantage over the other teams. Tile fellows played consistently the whole season. 1 hey lost only iiic game, but that was given them in forfeit, so that they finished with a clean “slate.” The Freshies were small in size, large in ambitions and courageous in spirit. Altho they did not win a game in the whole season, they made their opponents fret and work in every game they played. This season brought to light fellows, who appear t be promising material in future years. The games were clean andhard fought and showed that the spirit of true sportsmenship prevailed. I.t4 Paul A.

Naused THE 1918 POLARIS NORTH HIGH SCHOOL Indoor Track INTER-CLASS MEET. This was the first meet staged indoors and it uncovered some valuable material for North. The work of Smock and Naused featured the Juniors who won the meet by fifteen points. Nelson was the mainstay of the Seniors with thirteen points. Richards led the Sophomores for third place in the meet. Coach Jackson was pleased with the results of the meet. NORTH-EAST. In the first dual meet of the season North hit its stride when it won from East 82 to 22. Smock led the North tracksters with 23 points, followed closely by Nelson and Naused. Ilartig and Rivkin also gathered a few points. NORTH-WEST. West opened its 1918 indoor track season by defeating North by ten points. The meet was closely contested from start to finish. One event, the high hurdles, decided the meet. The first time the event was started the North runners were first and second, but in the runover. Hay of West nosed out Smock and Nelson of North. Smock was individual point winner for North. Wilken of North ran a fast race in the mile run. but was nosed out at the finish. NORTH-CENTRAL. Central High proved to have the best balanced track team and beat North by a one sided score. Nelson, in the shot put, won the only first ior North. Nelson and Smock were the principal point winners for North. The mile run was a thriller, when Wilken, the North runner, led the race until the last lap and was then nosed out by the Central runner. NORTH-ST. PAUL CENTRAL. North won its first track victory over the St. Paul school in four years, when it proved too strong for the down-river runners and won 62 to 42. The North athletes smashed two records in the inter-city meet. William Nelson made the season record in the shotput with a heave of 38 ft. U inches. Capt. Walter Naused set the high water mark in the quarter mile when he covered the distance in 58 -45 seconds. Smock was individual point winner with 19 points. NORTH-CENTRAL-WEST. On March first the first triangular meet was held at Central High. Central won the meet with West a close second. North showed unexpected strength, getting 29 points. The quarter mile was the best race of the day when Naused of North gave Warrick of Central a tight race for first place. Nelson was North’s best point winner with a first in the shot put and tied for first in the high jump. Wilkin. North’s iniler. ran a fast race but was beaten at the tape. 137 THE 1918 POLARIS NORTH-EAS T-CENTRAL. Central proved to have the best team in the city when they won the third triangular meet by thirteen points from North. East finished a poor third. Wm. Smock was individual point man with 19 points. He succeeded in gettingTirst in both hurdles and high jump. Erickson, a new miler for North, won the mile run in good time. Xaused ran a fast race in the quarter mile. 'Pile North runner also got first in the half mile. Track Season 1918 PROSPECTS for a championship track team looked very gloomy, when the first call for indoor practice was uttered. Among the athletes who reported, there were but three “X’’ men and very few others to pick from; but, after having several minor meets, track interest increased, and a greater number of candidates turned out than have been out in any of the last three years. Regardless of the small number of sesoned athletes, the showing in indoor track was not as bad as was expected, owing to the vast number of green athletes who showed spirit and were willing to work. At the close of the indoor season. North was credited with a victory over East and St. Paul Central; suffered defeat from West, Central and from West and Central in a triangular meet; and came out second in a triangular meet with East and Central. Altho the indoor showing was not bad. North is expected to do better in the outdoor meets. According to the indoor showing, the predictions are that the bacon rests on the shoulders of the following: Paul Wilken and Clarence Erickson in the mile; David Sperling and Walter Nauscd in the 880; Alfred Johnson and Walter Xaused in the 440; Harry Glotter and Franklin Pinkerton in the 220; Harry Glotter and Sidney Richards in the hundred-yard dash; William Smock. Glen Allen, and William Nelson in the hurdles and jumps; Paul llartig. Sidney Richards, William Nelson. Bennie Rivkin. and Roy Johnson in the weights. Others who are showing up well, altho they lack the indoor practice, arc Jerry Mullin, Clarence Sorensen, John Middlcmist, Arnold Balke. Leo Levitt, and Roy Kammerer. W. Nauscd, Captain. The Place of Track FOR the first time in five years, track this year at North was heralded in with an enthusiastic bunch of supporters. Altho the indoor season was not so successful as it might have been, yet the teams made a splendid record, when its recent losses and handicaps are taken in consideration. It seems that our greatest deficiency lies this year in the line of hurdlers, p dc-vaulters and high jumpers. This is probably due to the fact that practically all of our material in these lines is still comparatively “giecn.” and that this sort of work requires time to gain efficiency. Captain Nauscd has set a splendid example tor his men to follow; not only in the line of ceaseless and careful training, but also in actual results achieved thru this medium. He is our one best bet in the 440 and half-mile, and will be with the team for another season. Smock naturally has been the highest individual point-winner 138 NORTH HIGH SCHOOL this year, not only at North, but of all the Minneapolis high schools. He has gained his place thru consistent work in the dashes, broad and high jumps, low and high hurdles, and the 440. Another point winner oi note is Win. Nelson of the “weights-department ' who has been beaten in the shot only once this season and is a reliable hurdler and high jumper. Erickson has been a strong unit of Coach Jackson’s team as a first class niiler, as well as VVilken, who has forsaken the half miles and is lengthening out his strides for the mile. The work of “Al” Johnson is especially commendable, altho he has had pretty strong competition from the other schools. Now that wc do not lack the facilities for practice, there is no reason why North should not set the pace in track. We havethe time, the place and THE coach, but all three of these requisites are useless without the “mob” of material which should be out for track in a school of this size. A call for the school support would be vain, for we already have that: but we must have the support of all the possible track material in the school. Remember, there is another season coming. We positively must have a larger squad of steady trainers, especially Freshmen and Sophomores. Let’s see you jump out. run out. creep out or crawl out: any way to get out and help North win the place it deserves in Track. Paul C. Hartig. 1918 Track Work at North High School THE weather this spring has been very cold and disagreeable for track work and the progress in the development of new men has been slow. Hut one point of encouragement is that more Freshmen and Sophomores arc coming out for practice, which will surely mean much better teams in the future. At North 75% of the athletes wait until their Junior or Senior year before trying out and then graduate about the time they become valuable to the school. The track schedule is as follows: Apr. 2() Inter-class Meet. May 10 South Dual Meet. May 3 West Dual Meet. May IS City Meet. May 6 Novice Class Meet.May 25 Carleton Twin City. June 1 Northwestern Meet. Last year, vaccination of the student body just in the midst of the track season, practically disrupted the track team and for the first time in four years no school records were broken. Special merit is recognized by the Athletic panel in the main hall, and proud is the boy. whose name appears there. The panel is divided into two parts, the first comprising the record holder and record in each event, while the second part notes the highest individual scorer in all the meets, each year. This season the three athletes who seemed to be the strongest candidates for honors are: Captain Naused, Nelson and Smock. Some of the men have been sick or the victims of accidents ami North’s championship hopes are not so bright: but with the largest squad in years the team can be relied upon to make a good record. E.
