THE POLARIS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASSES OF NORTH HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. VOLUME Z m hc £r F- 7 1 (.1. I ° 1 y?j a_ wif. wv. -j. To the Spirit of world - wide LIBERTY we, the class of nineteen-nineteen, ---dedicate our ANNUAL,. WALDO W HOBBS, Principal I. HKT9R PPL mtS Foreword T AM pleased to know that the 1919 Polaris Annual has taken “Victory” as the keynote f its sentiment for this year’s history. It is to be hoped the various forms of expression and interests represented in this year's book may culminate in a higher appreciation of what constitutes an ideal victory. No doubt true victory does not always consist in surpassing our fellow worker-in any particular effort hut rather in individual accomplishments in matters which require real effort and sacrifice- -accomplishments which contribute to the welfare of those about us rather than satisfy personal or selfish desires. The purpose of this nation in the great World W ar to serve humanity rather than to gain power or material resources is certainly a true ideal for all classes and individuals, both socially and industrially. I he class of 1919 certainly has chosen a high ideal to exploit, and it is my sincere desire that each and every member may fully realize its import. I am sure we all are pleased with whatever success has come to the school in athletics, debate, music and the many other school activities, and especially to all who have gained the victory in matters of successful class work. Many of these individual victories have been of the greatest importance to the ones concerned and incidentally to the school. The faculty and principal join most sincerely with the class of 1919 in the honor and recognition shown to North High boys who had so glorious a part in the World War and especially do we hold sacred the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice. Their example should certainly never be forgotten by those who honor North High. While this is the victory year in matters of war. may it be but the beginning of years of victory for the North High in all matters of true interest to the school and especially to all members of this class of 1919. • • u Greeting A S editors of tin- 1919 Polaris we rejoice in being able to call it the n-tory year V|....k. We rejoice that our school has had a part in spread.ng world-wide de- mocracy. We welcome our hoys back to North: we extend, also, an immeasurable sympathy to the parents and friends of our former comrac cs who mat i t e suj sacrifice. Those who read these pages may soon forget what we say here, but they will never forget what our boys did “over there. Settle in a cozy nook-'he who hath a book hath but to rcad -and enjoy our record for 1919; overlook our shortcomings. We most sincerely appreciate the kind assistance of the teachers helped us in so many wavs in our effort t publish this memnria . Respectfully yours.

And with their classmates strove, with same cares fraught. Nor dreamt a different future they would know; But time tells all and now we see 'tis so. That seventeen of those who here were taught Have died or perished, as in war they fought; Their hopes, their plans, their lives killed with one blow. To these, who gave their all in the great fight. Defending us, our rights, our land from wrong: All tribute given in words does seem but light. Here hearts must feel and speak to make us strong; Souls rise to equal height to give us might. And lift us to the place where they belong. As we these men revere. North’s heroes slain. Let's make resolve that they shall not have died in vain. Harry M. Berger. 9 VICTORS POLdRIS ] Lieut.

Glotter Drowned April 18. 1919 Died Dec. 18, 1918 Former Student Member of January Class of 1919 REFLECTIONS I've reached my nineteenth year and what can show That I've accomplished anything in time gone by? What good is it that I did always try. If I did never get high time success real know? Though, to attempt. I’ve never acted slow, And I have entered many a contest held To strive, to hope, then have my hope dispelled By watching others win. to gain but woe; Can efforts be commended when ‘tis so? Here inner self cries out, you do belie The rightful benefit which is your gain. For highest honors, highest gifts do go In final time, to him who e’er does try; Life’s greatest joys have often first felt pain. Harry M. Berger. 1919 UICT9R P9L4RIS CLASS SONC January V?

VI1CTPRS P9U1RIS .1 WHAT AMERICA HAS GAINED Now that the war is over and the victory is won, what nas America gained out of this war? The ideas the return ing soldiers bring with them are going to mean a great deal to the United States. First, travel is one of the best elements of education. It makes a man a better citizen of his town, his state, and his country. The returning troops will be better Americans because they have felt the spirit of France, and have come close to the sturdy heart of the British. The diplomats may make a League of Nations; our soldier boys will feel the League of Nations. These home coming soldiers, who have been ready to light and die for their country, will be fitted to live for their country. They will make better mayors, school teachers, governors and congressmen. In this war we have lost much, but we have gained much. We have sent our sons into the bloody pit of war; and they come back, great leaders, to be better Americans and better human beings. Francis Hebei, ’21. The New Spirit of Patriotism and our New Americanism are the Greatest Things America Has Gained from the War Ladies and Gentlemen: In August, 1914. it seemed as if America had lost her ideals. She had forsaken the heritage of the fathers who built her with their life’s blood. W e had forgotten that “eternal vigilance is the price of a free, and a virile American nationalism.” We paid little or no attention to the Americanization of America. No one seemed to ask whether those coming here really cared for. or ever assimilated the historic ideals of our nation. And America suffered. Instead of boasting a united people, a single American nationality, the United States, was in Theodore Roosevelt’s words, a “polyglot boarding house.” Our doors were wide open to the oppressed of all nations. We offered everything, and. carelessly generous, asked nothing in return. W e made no real attempt to instil into the minds of the stranger a love for his adopted country, a more than mercenary appreciation of its privileges. The foreign language paper, the societies for the preservation of foreign customs and ideals, were tolerated. We had little Italys. little Germanics, little Russias; we had peoples within peoples. We were, indeed, a “polyglot boarding house.” with little or none of the spirit of W ashington and Lincoln. However. let it not be understood that our degenerate nationalism was entirely due to those of recent or older foreign extraction. Many of the descendants of the revolution and of the Civil War veterans had lost all the finer ideals of their fathers, so that in 1912 John M. Parker was forced to declare that “dollar blindness threatens to be a national curse to blunt the finer instincts of our people. Instead 70 I. MKTVR POLARIS of having a passion for serving America, we wanted America to serve us. Leaders in commerce, in politics, even in the civil life of cities and states, did not place America first: they sought first their own advantages, and next,—America's. Europeans could think of us only as a nation of money-chasers, a people gone dollar-mad. Such was the apparent spiritual state of America in 1914. Suddenly war came upon an unsuspecting world. We sat back, declared our neutrality, and selfish in our prosperity said the war would never come here. We—most of us—raised not even a whimper when Germany trampled under foot every moral law—everything that the civilized world held dear. We cared nothing about the brutal rape of Belgium. and the ruthless destruction of Northern France. We sat back, and said, “The war is over 3,000 miles away; it is not our affair. But we kept on coining bloody dollars. To such depths had America sunk. But America was being tried by an acid test. Were we merely a conglomeration of the scum of Europe? Was America to continue her dollar-worshipping, dollar grabbing? Was our national spirit to become synonymous with selfishness, with no sense of international responsibility? ( r was America to rise resplendent in the ideals of the fathers? We are ashamed when we look back over those three years of inaction, of tacit approval of Germany’s atrocities. Steadily, however, the war was brought home to us. Slowly, we began to see our responsibility. Finally we were no longer “too proud to fight. At last the America of Washington and Lincoln declared war, a holy war upon the enemies of all mankind. In our declaration we told the world “we desire no conquest, no dominion: we seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind.” With America’s entrance into the struggle, the whole aspect of the war was cleared. It became a war for democracy, a struggle between the armies of right and the forces of might. And America, “the nation of shopkeepers,’’ saved the world from the domination of a ruthless Kaiser. It remained for America, whose god had been the almighty dollar, to spread among nations the teachings of a new inter-tional morality. The same world which had criticised our gross selfishness, amazed and thrilled, by the transformation, applauded our great altruistic declaration and actions. And today America, with President W ilson as her spokesman, is insuring to the world a real Democratic peace—a peace of peoples, not of rulers. This is our new Americanism. 'Phis new Americanism has raised America in the eyes of the world. We are greatest today, not because of our military or material resources, but because of our recognized leadership of the forces for international justice. But before we could give to Europe our new Americanism, we had to undergo a patriotic spiritual transformation in our own country. First, the cry for “America first, and Roosevelt’s demands for a “virile Americanism” thundered in our ears. Then came the war which has proved the great Amcricanizer, the real “melting pot.” We entered into the war with our whole national soul. Slacker and pacifist became synonymous. Unconsciously. Scandinavian and Slav, Teuton and Anglo-Saxon, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, forgot their former differences and 71 UlCTVRy P9L 1RIS J _____ 191V with the discarding of old allegienccs, they became Americans! Why? Because a Democracy cannot carry on war from above as a Germany; it must light with the unstinted co-operation of all its people. And so. the housewife in the home, the workers in the factory, the child saving lor War Savings Stamps, the soldier in the trenches—all gained a new sense of patriotic usefulness, and of their own individual responsibility for their nation's welfare. Everyone worked, saved, conserved, fought as if the very winning the war depended upon him ah ne. And from it all we have gained our new spirit of patriotism which has given us and the world our New Americanism. America, or any nation, might live without an excess of money or without material prosperity, but America cannot long exist without patriotism, without a national spirit as a living force in all her people. Therefore, this new Americanism, this new spirit of patriotism, is the greatest thing America has gained from the war. It has brought into being a tremendous industrial, educational, even a religious awakening whose effects will reach far into the history of our people and of the world. The fires of war have wrought a virile merican nationality from a “polyglot boarding house. lust as the Romans of old boasted to the world in her country's military domination, “Civics Romaners Sum!’’ So. today, every citizen of this land boasts of his country's leadership of justice. 1 am an merican! W ithout this national transfiguration our boys would have given their lives in vain. Because of it the altar of their sacrifice is glorified. David Goldstein.

Just been laying around, now and then reading the newspaper. “Yesterday afternoon a friend of mine and myself, thought that a little out in the country would not be such a bad idea. So we took the ferry from Norfolk to Portsmouth, and hit the rails for Churchland about five miles distant. The weather was typical of late spring, and we felt so free and so far away from the Navy there in the quiet and beautiful arms of Nature. “In all, we hiked about ten or twelve miles. We had swell bunks at the Salvation Army last night, and we slept until nine this morning. 1 hope 1 find some mail waiting for me.” Your loving son. Earling. Quite an unusual happening, but this is what Roy Johnson has to say: “I had my first ride in a I)e Haviland four, yesterday, dropping bombs. We came down at the rate of 147 miles per hour, and then when we lit. we lit in a mud hole and tipped the tail way up in the air. W e thought that she was going clear over for a minute, but it didn’t, and then I had to work for about ten minutes to get out without falling out. One of the other planes caught fire and another had to make a couple forced landings with a full load of bombs, that usually go off in a case like that. A real exciting day, but no one got hurt except for a few bruises. We're going to have a flying frolic which is the aviation name for a carnival. W e’ve got about twenty German. French and English planes, besides some of our best ones which are going to have aerial combats, races, night bombing, etc., besides a lot of show and pink lemonade.’’ A former student writes: To the Students and Faculty of North High School: I wish to express my appreciation for the most beautiful plant you sent.

My dear Mr. Rosenfield: I know it will please you in the hour of your great loss to know how well your son performed his duty and served his country to the point of giving his life. He had been for weeks on an important detail that required great courage, and in all that time he never faltered. Attention to duty was his only concern, and his commanding officer always had full confidence in him. There is so little to be said in the face of such a sacrifice as he made, but I want you to know that he met his death, full of courage, at his post of duty, as a brave soldier and my heart is full of pride in him and sorrow for you who must suffer most. Very sincerely yours, George E. Leach, Colonel 151st F. A. Lieutenant II. Goldfus. who is in Marseilles, writes to Miss Mann: ()ne values more highly a letter which informs one of and takes the place of other letters which went astray. In this respect I have been fortunate, as your letters are the only ones 1 have failed to receive, so far as I know now. Vour letter of December 15th went to Tours, the headquarters of the S. O.

I’ve sampled the balmy climate of Florida and that of sunny France, recently, hut good old Minnesota is still my first choice. Your mention of North High people in France, was interesting news to me. Cary Donaldson writes from London: “How is everything at home? I wish I could be there, and yet I am having an opportunity over here that I wouldn’t miss for the world. I went to school today and had a pleasant time playing with sines, cosines, and tangents. My teacher is going to give me plane and spherical geometry and plane analytical while I’m here, and if 1 stay until June he thinks I can have a good foundation to make an attempt at college in three years. Mike and I went to Hampton Court to see the King’s summer palace. It is a beautiful place. There are many pictures by famous artists and the gallery is one of the most famous in the world.

Pratt. 1341 Oliver Avenue North, one of the personnel board of the Y. M. C. A. in England, is perhaps the best known American secretary in the United Kingdom. At one time or another most of the American secretaries in France, Italy, Russia and Mesopatamia have passed by Mr. Pratt’s desk and received their movement orders, transportation and passports from him or his associates. Mr. Pratt was connected with the Minneapolis Gas Light Company in civil life, and as a Y. M. C. A. worker used many of the Minneapolis business methods in bis duties of the movement order department. From the beginning of the Y. M. C. A. activities, 4.819 secretaries passed through Mr. Pratt’s department. Abe Haskell, who won the distinguished war cross, is in France and tells us how to make the Germans respect you. 'Phc people here don’t say much. They treat us with respect, that is. most of them do. Those that do not, we soon make them, as for instance: Phis evening I was walking down the street when two Germans came along with a woman. One of the men bumped into me and didn’t offer t«« apologize. Well, 1 simply turned around, kicked him into the gutter, pulled my revolver, and made him apologize. Ilis excuse was that he did not see me, but of course he did. I hate these damn Roche and my hatred of them seems to increase every day. The outrageous and brutal crimes they committed in France and Belgium, I can never forget. Neither can I forget some of my own exciting experiences and many discomforts.

An extract of a letter from Captain Herold Morton describing an explosion: I just got back to Washington again tonight, after spending most of the week at Aberdeen. We had a little excitement down there this noon: a bunch of I. N. T. went wild and scattered itself over the scenery for a couple of hours. It was kind of hard on the glassware in the vicinity. It also rained steel for a while, in chunks that did not stop when they struck the roof, but came right through. I did not stop any of them; 1 just stopped aside and let them pass. It was rather exciting while it lasted; it reminded me so much of “that dear Paris,” in the midst of a Gothic Raid. Now that they have burned their fireworks, I don’t suppose there will be any more excitement down this way for a while. 76 I.

She tells Miss Ethel Donaldson of her experiences: It’s become a habit of mine to carry chocolate, gum. cigarettes, in my uniform pockets. They come in handy in cheering up a gloomy young American boy. There have been so many in the Hut lately of these in Imperial Uniform—and they have a real grievance, having come over in Canadian uniform with Canadian pay. and have been put into Imperial uniform with Imperial pay (almost nothing). Then they have to put up with English ration;, anl England’s treatment of Tommy in general—and no American boy is really very happy under it. They are usually 16 to 18. I came upon a group of 5 young Imperials Sunday night, and thinking their faces looked American. I asked each in turn where he came from: Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis. Kansas City, San Francisco. It’s always been easy for me to give a way money and it’s getting easier. The boys have a beautiful habit of helping each other. “Say. you’re broke aren’t you? Here’s half a crown.” Everybody here takes his rap at the prohibition amendment. It’s plain to be seen that drink has been the curse of England’s workingman. The press and the Church (who own the breweries) cry out for: “The rights of the Britisher: more and better liquor.” On one page of the Times appeared letters from citizens asking for more liquor and longer hours for the pubs. On the other: “The last state necessary has ratified America’s Prohibition Law.” The main editorial that day was headed: “Prohibition or More Beer.” and worked out to the editor’s satisfaction that England had done more to curb drunkenness than any other nation! I have seen more drunkenness in 24 hours than I have all my life at home—tonight on the main streets.” 77 dr j 1919 VJICT9Rbl P9LARIS THE GIMMIES Sonic fellows got ncumoneay.

I find it hard to realize that the monthly magazine you put out now was the outcome of our Spectator of 1913. For it certainly is good, as High School magazines go. and I know very well to whose untiring efforts the success of the thing is due. It has been over three years since I left the school, but my interest hasn’t dropped for a minute. I still am as anxious as ever to see North out in front, in athletics, in debate, in publications and in everything they undertake. Maybe having a brother there in the thick of things tends to keep my interest up. but 1 don’t think I shall ever forget my associations there, nor the things that I learned. 1 have been over here long enough now to rate a service stripe and unless they hurry up the Peace Treaty I may get another one. France is quite a country, and while at first I found it difficult to accustom myself to the ways of the people, I now have come to realize that perhaps our ways are just as strange to them. They are a lovable people, the French, and still seem unable to realize that at last the great war is over. Things are as yet on a war basis but every day the number of civilians on the streets increases and the number of soldiers decreases correspondingly. War prices are still in vogue and with eggs at a dollar a dozen we doughboys are going to find it exceedingly difficult to celebrate Faster properly. However, we shall do our best. We are sending a few of our German prisoners home each week. Until the treaty is signed we must necessarily keep the body of them, but as we have authority to release all those who are sick or wounded we are taking advantage of the letter of the order and sending home all those who are at all ill. That will hasten our departure for home when things are finally settled at Paris, and I still hope to be home in mid summer. Of course, when a detachment of Germans is sent out, a detail fmm this enclosure accompanies them over the German lines, and in that way we are getting a chance to see Germany. I have not gone as yet. although I have expected to several times. Very soon 1 am going on a leave to Italy and when I return hope to make a trip over the Rhine. Again I must thank you for your kindness in sending me the Polaris and wish it a very successful year. I would appreciate very much one of the annuals. ill you send one, please. It being inconvenient to send the wherewithal through the mail I’ll notify Eddie to pay you, for I know that at best the annual never makes a great deal of money.

I thought you might tell the girls how much they have missed by not organizing a “W oman’s Battalion. You see. now that la Guerrest finis, we are being educated at the University of the American K.

However, now that details arc getting fewer and recitations are finally opening, it is getting quite interesting, anyway. The U. here, robbed of all the sham and pretenses which one always associates with colleges in the states, is a wonderful opportunity for those of us who intend resuming our studies when we get back to get in a receptive mood—and for those who intend going into the world when they get back it is a fine chance to freshen up on things in general. I have 17 hours a week lecture and 3 hours a week on the piano, besides my study, which is on the piano five hours: in other things, as I like it. There is little chance for spending money and practically no chance of getting away from camp during the week. Practically all our time will be devoted to our studies—and if the army is as stringent a master here as it has been elsewhere it will turn out in 3 months a class of men intellectually the superior of any sophomore in any college in the United States. I have 7 hours a week music and 8 hours a week journalism, with two sandwiched in between with citizenship. My music is three hours a week. Piano study (individual lecture with teacher) 2 hours class lectures on harmony and 2 hours lecture on history of music. In journalism I have 8 hours a week newspaper writ ing and 3 hours short story development. I have one hour each day piano practice and the rest of the time I study. We have 40 minutes drill in the morning and a general study hour at night from 6:30 to 9:00. Friday and Saturday nights are practically free, but Sunday nights are devoted to study. We get 3 meals a day, clothes, quarters and besides receive our regular army pay. We get practical experience in our newspaper work: only the other day a Corporal of the American Army was killed by a Frog train. We were all sent out to get the story. You can imagine the ease with which this was accomplished when the French of the entire detail was limited to “Comme Ca. “Kncore. S, U.

This beautiful description comes from Italy: My first sight of any part of the theater of war.” was first at Costelfranco and Treviso. 1 saw one or two houses that air raiders had wrecked: then, at the Piave and other regions; I saw wrecked bridges: many buildings in various states of demolition, fields pitted with shell-holes, burnt rolling stock at certain stations, and all the scenes that have been so copiously pictured in our current literature. At Monfalcone. near Trieste, I had a chance to look over ground over which had raged some of the bitterest fighting of the war. Although there had been no fighting there since the retreat of 1917. there was still abundant evidence of what had been. Hardly a building had been untouched, and reduced to mere heaps with ragged fragments of wall outstanding, of the buildings that were still left with walls more or less intact, most were fenced with barb wire to prevent people from risking their necks under their hanging floors and roofs that were half down. I took a walk along an unfrequented street lined with mere skeletons of buildings, in the bright moonlight the night I was there, and I shall never forget the wierd expression it made, I met no one. nor did I hear any sound. I might have been, for all my surroundings showed to the contrary, the last survivor in the world. There is still much of the debris of war scattered around from countless rifle cartridges and ammunition boxes to the fragments of wrecked naval guns.

Everybody got mail tonight, and so of e ursc we are all happy. In every corner there is somebody writing. The surest way to get a soldier to write is to write to him. We look forward to Mail Day. The very uncertainty of the proposition makes it that much more delightful when it does come. Every morning some one of us will remark. “There should be beau coup mail today.” and if the day goes by and there is none, that only strengthens our belief that it will come the next day.

The Garden army was organized in March by the Botany Department. Fnlist-ments were called for and eight hundred fifty students answered this call. Garden classes were held once each week from March to September first and a half year credit was given to all pupils who attended these classes. All gardens were visited during the summer by Miss Clara Erdmann and her assistant. Miss Krbst. Two exhibits were held at the North High greenhouse. The first, which displayed early vegetables and canned goods, took place on July 26. Some of the pupils contributed vegetables, which were on display, for the Red Cross. The sec-mid exhibit of the late crops and canned goods took place in September. One inter-high school exhibit was also held in September, at which North High took second place and almost tied with Central, which took first. A boys’ and girls’ canning club was organized and also a mothers' canning class, where products were canned by the successful cold-pack method, hour meetings were held at which the canning class canned great quantities of vegetables and fruits. A present of one dozen fruit jars and one dozen jar rings was given to each of two members of the canning class for having canned fifty or more quarts during the month of July. l he North Side Commercial Club gave a total of twenty dollars to be divided among the most successful gardeners. 1 he first prize of ten dollars went to Katherine Hoben. the second prize of six dollars went to Mathilda Krefting, and the third prize of four dollars, to Myrtle Townsend. A five dollar seed certificate and an art basket were awarded to Katherine Hoben, and a seed certificate worth three dollars was awarded to Mathilda Krefting. The following received honorable mention: W alter Hiller, Paul Kees, Harold Hoben. and of the faculty. Mr. Gates and Mr. Pollard. Besides the pleasures of patriotic service and successful endeavor, we. the ar-den Army, cannot tell you of the many enjoyable days we have had. Il any one would like to know, we invite you to join us this year. For there must be twice a many gardens and tillers of the soil this year as there were last year. The demand for food is twice as great, for we must not only feed our armies remaining in France, but all the starving neutral countries. W e have won the brutal battles; now, we must win the food war and restore the world to its former position. Under the faithful supervision of its teacher ami the splendid spirit of co-operation of the students at North High, the Garden Army is bound to be.a success this year. Come and be a gardener. 86 Mathilda Krefting. O INC F tlie last issue of the I’olaris annual, the botany department gave a play - A I'ill for Kaiser Bill”—in order to aid the garden army in its war work. This season’s contribution to arouse interest in victory gardens was a tableau which was very successful and full of meaning. It portrayed Uncle Sam asking Minnesota to help starving Kurope. Mae Moran was Minnesota; Klsic Champlin. North High, and Sam Salitcrman. Uncle Sam. The girls of the botany class were the garden army. They carried tools and the words, “We raised vegetables to Save Wheat!” Serbian, Belgian, French. Russian and Armenian refugees made their pitiful appeal. Our returned sailors, soldiers, marine and an army nurse, as well as the High School battalions, helped to make this tableau realistic. Since the botany departments in our city schools started the garden army classes, these classes have become important enough to gain government recognition here and elsewhere. Botany work is done in the garden, green house, and laboratories. It stands for three things: To give the student a sympathetic understanding of plants To enable him to enjoy them, as well as to observe them accurately To learn what an important part they play in our lives. W e began our work last fall potting the plants from our flower beds and garden. We learned to arrange them in the greenhouse according to size and color, light and temperature needs. In January, we made thousands of begonia, geranium, and coleus cuttings and all for this summer’s garden and for future use of the park board of North High School. The different kinds of cutting were demonstrated by Theodore Menzel in the auditorium. Our numerous vacations have interfered with our work. While the pupils were suffering from the “flu.” the greenhouse suffered from the never to be forgotten mealy bug. We are about to study germs, but the pupils are more concerned now over the washing flower pots and the extermination of the mealy bugs than anything else. Alice Prestidge. POLARIS MONTHLY North High students have now enjoyed the pages of the Polaris for four years Our subscription list now contains nearly fifteen hundred names. During the past year we have tried to keep in touch with our hoys in the service. Although hampered by the influenza vacations we published eight monthly issues. The annual banquet was made a Valentine affair, being held on the evening of February 14. in the lunchroom. The one hundred and fifty guests present consisted of members of the staff, salesmen, and a few invited guests, especially interested in the Polaris. They were, after the supper, conducted to the (iirls (iymnasium where games and dancing occupied the remainder of the evening. The staff wishes to thank Miss Leet and the Faculty Committee. Messrs.

M .Bartel Treas H.PuSSel Sgey mi The Junior-Senior Girls’ League TjNJRMKRLY the (iirls League included every girl enrolled in Xorth High. This year the League was divided into two separate organizations, one consisting of the Freshmen and Sophomore girls, while the other is made up of all the Junior and Senior girls. Miss (amid advises the under-class girl . while Miss Leet helps the upper class girls. This change has been found to he really beneficial. The (iirls' League merely looks after the social side of the girls’ lives. There are committees to welcome and introduce new girls into the school, and also to visit and send flowers to the girls who arc ill. Besides these committees there are committees to arrange for social affairs at school. The League is so arranged that the girls have the greatest opportunity to use their initiative. There are teachers who will always help them when the girls want help. The Junior-Senior League takes this opportunity to thank the teachers who have so willingly helped at their parties. The first party was given in March. A new plan worked out wonderfully. A “Sun-lite Dance was given in the girls’ gym. for those who dance, while the girls who didn’t care to dance played games in the library. Refreshments were served in the lunch room. Other parties were held later in the term. The present officers are: i’resident—1 rent Fraser. Vice president—Alice Bartel. Secretary—Helen Russell. Treasurer—Mabel Bartel. The chairmen of the committees are: Friendship—Helen Hates, chairman. Reception—Lois Pollard, chairman. Entertainment—Ora McLaughlin, chairman.

The Junior Girls’ League THE Junior Girls’ League was organized February 10, under the direction of Miss Gould. All freshmen and sophomore girls are members. By dividing the old League into the Junior and Senior divisions, it was felt more good could be accomplished, and it would be easier to reach every girl in the. school. The officers of the Junior division are: Alice Jacobson, president; Helen W'ahll. vice president and chairman of social committee; Eleanor Keith, secretary, and Ros-alyn Skellet, treasurer. The Friendship committee, consisting of a girl from each room, and Helen W'ahll, chairman, carries on one of the most important parts of work of the League. It is the duty of this committee to see that girls sick and out of school get flowers, messages or something to cheer them up. The Junior League had its first party February 13. A short program was given in the auditorium and refreshments were served in the lunch room. After refreshments, all members went to the gymnasium, where favors were given. The 92 I. MKT9RS POLARIS next hour was spent in dancing:. I lie League’s second party was given February 8. The usual program, refreshments, favors, dancing and the added attraction of games helped make the party a success. The Junior league wishes to thank Miss irant for her help at its parties. During the next year, more will be done than before, for North High girls and every girl must feel that she can take active part in this work. GIRLS’ LEAGUE ACTIVITIES During the past year, the Girls' League has done less than usual because of the influenza epidemic. During the summer months, the Surgical Dressing Class continued its work under the supervision of Miss Harris and Miss Hoff and was supported by a few loyal girls. A picnic was given in honor of Miss Hoff. After the luncheon Mrs. Krb spoke to the girls on Relief Work in France. When Miss Harris left. Miss Laura Henn took charge of the class. In September the average attendance was seventy-live. The North High unit finished its own quota, and helped in some other extra work. In November the one party of the semester was given. The program was a dance bv Marian Lewis, a song by Albia )sterburg. and a play by the Dramatic Club, of which Hetty Acker is the president and Miss Ruby McClune is the coach. Pussy Willow Troop IN August, eight of the Pussy W illow Scouts visited Miss Edgars cabin at Edge-wood. The trip was very enjoyable, as the girls made fun of such work as gathering wood, carrying water, and preparing excellent meals, and they hiked, dipped’ in the creek, and rested to their hearts' content. After school opened in September, Helen Johnson and Juliet Midholm passed their Tenderfoot tests and earned War Service Awards. Mildred Moon and Ethel-wvn Sutton became Second Glass Scouts and qualified for three proficiency badges apiece. Two delightful parties belong to this term: One at Dorothy Renslow’s in No- vember. and the other at Melva Block’s the latter part of Christmas week. Some of the girl earned L S. Food Administration Badges by restricting their consumption of sugar. All present at one of the regular meetings contributed a dollar in dimes toward the fund for the French children’s Christmas. A few of the girls worked at the Red Cross headquarters, folding and addressing posters. The following officers were elected November 29. 1918: Ethclwyn Sutton and Agnes Kvaasc. patrol leaders; Mildred Moon and Gladys Munson, corporals. Melva Block, secretary-treasurer; Mildred Moon, troop nurse, and Ruth Williams, troop reporter. Ruth Williams.

The activities of the troop during the summer included two swimming parties, a picnic supper at the home of Miss Little. Red Cross work at the Church of the Redeemer every week, and a week’s camp at Orchard Lake in which sixteen Scouts out of the twenty-three participated. This fall the troop has concentrated on war work and work for our French orphan, five-year-old Marie Minard. Clothing was made by the Scouts, and sent to her. together with Christmas gifts and candy in a Christmas box. The expense of this box was met by giving a large dancing party at Unity House. November 30th. The following girls have won War Service Awards from the National Headquarters: Alice Bartel. Lyra Tyra, Orrell Lee. Ina Lee, Myrtle Carlson, Catherine W ilkinson. Jeanette Leach, and also the Captain and Lieutenant. SCARLET PIMPERNEL TROOP Officers: Patrol Leader. Muriel Ehrenberg: Corporal. Kathrine McKay: Secretary and Treasurer. Nellie Smith: Reporter.

The scouts went through the Wild Harden and had an outdoor supper at (Ilenwood Park. Eileen Brodkast. SOCIAL EVENTS On November 23. 1917. we held our first known party in the gym. It was known as a costume party, so all came dressed in character from milkmaids and cowboys to court ladies and Spanish Cavaliers. The first part of the evening was spent in games, after which apples and all-day suckers (much to the sorrow of the janitors) were served. e then had a grand march while a jury composed of our chaperones chose the winner of a prize to be awarded to the person best costumed. The decision was unanimous in favor of Florence Nixon. We danced until the hands of the clock all too soon reached the eleventh hour and then we departed for our respective homes. 94 1. MKTVM POLARIS 1917 On May 17. 1918. we held our A Junior Class Party. Middies and sport kirts were prevalent since this was an Athletic Party and all had been asked to dress to fit the occasion. The gym. was decorated beautifully with lilacs and green branches and the color scheme was even carried out in the programs which were also green. Everyone played games for a short time, after which we were entertained by a short program. Marion Davis sang “Laddie in Khaki.” Marion Nixon favored us with a solo dance and a jaz quartet composed of John Middlemist. Jerry Mullen. Hill Smock and Clifford Cheese led by Mr. W illiams, gave us several selections. W e formed in line and marched to the end of the gym., where lavendar and green caps were presented to all. and then adjourned tc the lunch room for ice cream and cookies, after which we returned to the gym. and finished the evening with dancing. Social Activities of the January, ’19, Class B. JUNIOR PARTY AS H. Juniors we made our “debut” into society by having a Hay Seed Party” and a Hay Seed Party” it certainly was. All the surroundings made one think cf the country (Robbinsdale or Anoka), corn cob pipes, sunbonnets. overalls, red handkerchiefs, and farmer hats brought about the finishing touches. Games were played, after which luncheon, consisting of all day suckers, nectar, doughnuts and apples, was served in the lunch room. Dancing was then the center of attraction until the strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” were heard. W e then departed, after proclaiming the party a great success. B. SENIOR PARTY Our first Senior party was a May Day Party.” This will certainly be a memorial party to all of us, but in particular to “Miss Harry Hanson, who played the role of the queen, in “Crowning the May Queen. The queen’s attendants were Bill Smock and Kleber Will, who seemed to be experts in attending to the wants of women.” The queen was announced bv James Krafft. This being our first party after our class was organized, attractive programs containing the names of our officers, class colors and class yell were distributed. Besides the Crowning of the May Queen” we were favored with solos by Mr. Williams and a recitation by Miss Margaret Shannessy. Games were played and then a grand march, led by Mr. Williams and Miss Henry, showed us the way to the lunch room, where a delightful lunch awaited us. We then danced until the warning bell rang, when we had to depart, after many complaints of the speediness of Father Time. 95 . J A1- 1919 VJICT9RS P9LARIS .1 A. JUNIOR PARTY Our A. Junior party was a “Plain” party, but the evening: was filled with stunt-and games. The main feature of the evening (besides the eats) was the Mock Track Meet, where, for once it was popular to have a big mouth. It was a credit to yourself and college. The rest of the evening was spent in the usual way. dancing. Luncheon, consisting of frappe and wafers, was served. Dancing again began and continued the rest of the evening. The party was voted a great success by all. A. SENIOR PARTY Our last party was a “Flu” victim. It had to be put off and put off until finally we had it as a reunion after graduation. The party was a Patriotic party, the idea being carried out with little silk flags as favors, and the lunch room being decorated in Red W hite and Blue. The main feature of the party was the Magician. W e thought we knew everything as we had graduated, but found we knew nothing when it came to those tricks. Bill's heart was in his mouth when he saw his IngersoU being shot to pieces, when lo and behold it was finally found in several layers of boxes unharmed and still running. ()ther features were the Marseillaise in French, by Miss sterberg. and a recitation by Miss Shanncssy. And, oh, that music, it certainly made your feet go. Then came the Grand March, led by the President and N ice President, leading the class to the lunch room, where the “eats” were. We then resumed dancing until the old familiar notes of “Home, Sweet Home.” were sounded. We then had to get wishing it was not our last party. “GRUMPY On May 21 and 22. 1919. the classes of January and June, 19. combined to give a wonderful performance of Cyril Maudes great stage play. Grumpy. It 'vas indeed a triumph to secure and produce this play, one of the most ambitious ever put on by North High, and. consequently, one of the best. I he play itself, although the action centers around one particular man. Grumpy provides plenty of opportunity for good characterization, especially to the boys. It is to be regretted that the girls did not have more opportunities than they had. but it is not always po -sible to procure a play, perfect in all respects. We should consider ourselves luck to get one as interesting and all-around high class as the one we did succeed in getting. Those who took part were: George Guessmer, Archibald Sullivan. Hugo Kami), Otto Huebner. Hovey Berglund, Russel Johnson. Henry Stubbs. I liarlo Hobbs. Louis Segal, Jessie Graths, Dorothy Schiercnbcck and Aino Scvon. Of the acting, it is only necessary to say that it measured fully to Mr. Crawford's usual standard. The curtain-raiser was given by the Senior dee C lubs. Several graceful dancing and song numbers were given. 96 I. VIKT9R POLflRfc John Blanchette Cheater L.

THE SPANISH CLUB I7HEN the Spanish department was organized one year and a half ago. there was a nucleus ot a Spanish club in the spirit of union among the members oi the first class. This spirit expressed itself in the “Spanish Booth” at the Red Cross Carnival, the reunion during the following summer, and the entertainment furnished the night school students of the Spanish and other departments. Finally at the beginning of the third term of this year, with the aid of Mrs. Jensen, the Spanish teacher, an organization was effected with every Spanish student a charter member of the club. A constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected: Lawrence Young. Spanish 111, president. Catherine Llis, Spanish . secretary. Mildred Turovh. Spanish V, vice pres. Evelyn Borgenson, Spanish II, treas. A number of teachers of the North II gh faculty have studied Spanish, and are interested in the progress of the Spanish department. 1 hese were elected honorary members: 93 Miss Mann Mrs. Frances Mr. (iraves Miss McClure MICT9R P9L 1RIS DEBATE HP i I E debate year 1918-19 opened propitiously. A large ■ scpiad of splendid material came out. Enthusiasm was fine. Then, just as every one felt this must be the beginning of another championship year, the influenza epidemic hit the State. School closed. It reopened. Again it closed. From confidence in splendid success, we dropped to prediction of gloomy failure. But throughout the period, through happy moments and cheerless weeks, a dozen or more pupils stayed by the ship. W hether school was in session or not. this group continued to study “Compulsory Arbitration. As always, hard, consistent, honest work brought its logical result. The team finally selected—W illiam Clark. David Cold-stein. and Harry Abramson—formed one of the best combinations the State Debate League has ever seen. Every one was capable of strong, clear thinking, effective delivery, and straightforward, well-expressed extemporaneous speaking. At the first debate of the year, the team got away for a fine start by decisively defeating Howard Lake. Our pleasant relations with this school and its splendid people were continued. The first inter-district debate was with Sauk Center. North agreed t« go there for the debate, also giving them choice of sides. When the North team reached that town on March 21st. they found a state of profound confidence with regard to the debate. As Mr. (iasink expressed it. I never saw such extreme overconfidence before a debate, nor a superintendent exhibit such soreness and poor sportsmanship at losing.” 99 uicttos p9l ris .1 The debate was close and interest was tense up to the last rebuttal. During that rebuttal, the affirmative speaker deliberately lied about statistics. The card which he submitted, now in possession of North High, itself proved he was coached to misrepresent facts. The negative interrupted in a parliamentary way to protect itself against dishonesty. The judges decided two to one in favor of North High. Sauk Center protested that North High violated the rights of the affirmative on the technical ground that the matter submitted was in refutation of the negative argument. The negative replied that false statistics submitted fpr the first time in the last rebuttal must be considered new material. The board of appeals by a two to one vote barred North High from further participation in debate this year, thereby punishing North High for revealing the dishonesty, but not even censuring Sauk Ceil ter for its crime against the ethics of debate. It seems incredible that two super-tendents could have been so blinded by prejudice as to make such a decision, but it was done. The board of appeals consisted of the president, vice-president and secretary of the league—all superintendents of small towns. All had been defeated by North in debate. None had “gotten even by a return defeat. One saw the ethical problem involved, the others saw the chance to get even. The North High School debate committee decided unanimously that, in fairness t the team, to North High School, and to lionestv in debate, there was but one course open. They granted to each member of the team a pin for the tirst debate with the pearl for each succeeding one. and the North High symbol of championship. the blue NY’ EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTEST The Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, this year, was the Twin City District Contest. One hour before the contest each speaker was given a list of about 40 topics covering all phases of High School studies and interests and the most important of today’s National Problems. During that hour each contestant was expected to construct a five-minute speech on the topic he might choose. The contestants were: Charlotte Erhardt, Reuben l.erner, Leona Mauscl. Julia Thomas. William K. Clark and Roger Loucks. William Clark won tirst place talking on W hat is an educated man. and Reuben Lerner second. In the State Contest at Macalester College. W in. E. Clark won second place, hirst place was taken by a girl from Chisholm with a learned speech. THE DISCUSSION CONTEST For the second time North High entered the Discussion League. The question discussed was: W hat Is the Greatest Benefit Derived from this War?” Contestants in the Home Contest were: David Goldstein, who won first place. inn Dorothy Budge. Harry Berger and I. ♦ IKTVR POLdRIS The Public Speaking Classes ORTH HI(Ill'S second Public Speaking class was organized last September •— with an enrollment of twelve. Again, the Public Speakers played a very big part in all the patriotic activities, especially the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. The Polaris Monthly for ()ctober paid this well-deserved tribute to the class, “The Public Speaking Class did admirable work. It furnished six speakers for a Liberty Bond Rally at the Auditorium. W illiam Clark. David (loldstein. Alice Korthrup, Viola Davis, and Mr. Gasink spoke. 'Win the W ar’ seemed to be their slogan and they did their part to accomplish it. Hurrah, for these patriotic speakers.” Because of their Public Speaking activities for the loan in this and other schools, David Goldstein. Viola Davis, and W illiam Clark were given Government certificates designating them as Junior Four Minute Men.” Three of the boys, Harry W . Abramson. W illiam Clark, and David Goldstein, showed the practical benefit of their training in selling liberty bonds. W ith the second semester beginning January first, another Public Speaking class was organized with an enrollment of twenty-five, with Dorthy Budge as President. The first three Public Speaking classes have clearly demonstrated that a subject purely voluntary, which attracts the best in the school, cannot help being a success from the start. This class has made itself the center of all patriotic activities in the schools. It is safe to say that the three Public Speaking classes under Mr. Gasink have done as much or more than any other single agency in the school towards winning the war. Representatives of the classes have spoken at Liberty Bond. Red Cross, and W ar Chest meetings. Charlotte Frhardt. Neil Morton, and Bella Hershovitz spoke at the “Welcome Home meeting for the soldiers and sailors. Probably the most striking and most inspiring speeches were given at the tribute to Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Program, Harry Abramson, as presiding officer. read President Wilson’s tribute t Roosevelt. William 1C. ( lark spoke on Roosevelt, the boy and man; Dorothy Budge on Roosevelt, the statesman, and David Goldstein on Roosevelt, the typical American. Besides this unselfish leadership in patriotic affairs, the class leads every Public Speaking activity in the school. It had the following representatives in the temperance contest: Norah I.awrie. Reuben Lcrner. David Chapman. Dorothy Budge. Catherine Hobcn. Libia Levin, and F.dward Colp. The following in the extemporaneous contest: William (lark, Reuben Lcrner, and Charlotte Frhardt. In the discussion contest: Harry Berger, Dorothy Budge, and David Goldstein. I n the declamatory contest: Harry Berger, David Chapman. F.dward Colp. and David Goldstein for the boys, with Norah Lawrey. Dorothy Budge. Charlotte Frhardt. and Bernice l.oncgran for the girls. Taken all in all, the class has more than justified its existence. Its best adver tisement and its greatest asset i the work it accomplishes, ami the products it turns out. To our teacher. Mr. Gasink. we owe more than we can ever repay. It is to his able instruction, and his understanding of our ability that we owe our success in the different oratorical activities. In conclusion, it is hard to think of North High School without a Public Speaking organization and a public speaking organization without Mr. Gasink. ini VICTORS POL IRIS .1 DECLAMATORY SPEECH CONTESTANTS Charlotte Erhmt.

Sergeant-at-Arins; Florence Nixon, Vice President; Viola Davis, Treasurer. Literary Society Till work of the Literary Society was discontinued to do war work and was not resumed till January. The organization has started the original purpose of creating a greater interest in debate and literary work, under a little different plan. The society lias been divided into two parts, forming a Senior Literary Society which is composed of seniors and juniors and a Junior Literary Society composed of the sophomores and freshmen. The first open meeting was held in the auditorium, when an original advertisement for the coming debate was given by Neal Marton and Harry Berger. The pantomine playlet, Reveries of a Bachelor.” under the direction of Mrs. Libs, was then presented. John Middlemist and Aino Seven took the leading parts in this, a synopsis in verse being read by Irene Fraser. A very good representation of the student body was present at the opening program of this year’s work. The declamatory contest was held un !er the auspices of the Senior Society, and also the launching of the Victory Loan. 104 [. VKTVRH POLARIS JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS Cora Carlson, Zenas Havstat), Lucy Ritchie, William Herman Junior Literary Society AT a meeting of Freshmen and Sophomores on February eleventh, it was decided t organize a Junior Literary Society. It was thought that Freshmen and Sophomores would have a better chance to develop the qualities of leadership in a small society of their own. The following officers were elected: William Herman, president: Alice Jacob- son. vice president; Max (ireenberg. secretary; and Lucy Ritchie, treasurer. Miss Kelly is Faculty director. The society meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. I he tirst meeting is devoted to the business of the society and at the second meeting, a program is presented. Up to this time, two programs have been given. I he tirst one consisted of a playlet, special music and recitations. One of Barrie’s one-act plays, • The Old W oman Shows Her Medals, was presented at the last program. During the spring semester, the program committee arranged to have an original program made up of entirely original playlets, poems and stunts. 1 hey also decided to have programs devoted to one author. There should be much that would be profitable as well as enjoyable in such meetings. 105 , J A'- Hr 1919 UICTRRS P9U1RIS .1 “MILITARY FEET” “Military Feet.” also a pantoniinc, was given by the Lit Society. Thursday. April 17th. The whole involved love affair of a man and woman was told by means of feet. The good-looking feet in oxfords belonged to Viola Davis, the soldier puttees t Simeon Heller, which shoes, by the way. are the very largest I've ever seen. They belong to 1 toward. Herbie Harold was his usual sophisticated self as the “Duke.” Alice Bartel read the story in verse between the scenes. In May, Kleptonianea. a delightful comedy, was given under the direction of Mrs. Whittet. The Junior Literary Society made its debut on April 9th, in “The Old Woman Shows Her Medals,” by Barrie. The results were wonderful for so young a cast, and showed the splendid effects of Miss Kelly’s coaching. Marie Ryder was tlie star, proving a very lovely old English charwoman. She showed true understanding of the character portrayed. Zenas Hnvstad was an attractive Kenneth. Other programs given through the year which deserve mention are the History program, picturing in tableaux the development of our Nation; and the Botany program, culminating in an effective pageant of the war and the evils brought about by the scarcity of food during the war. Last term a dramatic club that worked under a Girls’ Liberty League director gave an interesting play for the (lirls’ League. Betty Acker presides over the club. On this same occasion Helen Lewis danced, and Alvira Osterberg sang. The underclass men are promised more opportunity to develop their talents by the separation of our two principal clubs, the Literary Society and the (lirls’ League, into the Freshmen. Sophomore, and Junior. Senior groups. Now the younger people will not need to compete with pupils of greater experience. in order to get into a play.

The purpose of the club is to create and maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. The club had an unusually hard struggle this year due to the long closing of school and the fact that all the odicers were lost through graduation. The remaining members reorganized the club and with the aid of Mr. Jackson of the North branch Y. M. C. A. the club has gotten a membership larger than ever before. The meetings are held twice a month at the Y. M. C. A. and at the school. After the supper, topics such as these are discussed: “Clean Athletics,” “Sports- manship” and other topics. The present club hopes that next year through its influence. North High will be the cleanest, the school with the most self-control and thus be one of the best high schools in the country.

A'I' present at North High School there is no real Dramatic Society. To some degree the Literary Society fulfills this need, but this society should be left free for its own peculiar type of work, while more and better plays could be put on by a club whose sole object is to produce plays. It would afford the students interested in dramatics a much better opportunity to get the natural desire for playacting out of their systems, and better still, it would be a tremendous factor in helping them to gain the mental and physical poise necessary to a successful life. Perhaps only the “A” Juniors realize fully the joys that can be obtained from studying and producing plays. At least that is the only term that a student can get his craving if he has any—and most young people have—satisfied. I, for one. who was once a Junior, can testify how much that one small course in Shakespeare did for me and I know many others who would gladly have missed any other one term in High School rather than that. Thus we need some dramatic outlet, for instance a club that can have weekly or bi-monthly meetings, at which programs can be put on, plays studied from a critical and literary standpoint, or group practice held. Such a club should not be lim- 110 I. VKT7RD POLdRIS ited to those who have talent, hut should exist for the development of talent and for the purpose of giving people who cannot afford dramatic training the chance to reap the wonderful advantages that come from it. But what would be even greater than a Dramatic Club would be a Public Speaking Department not limited to Debate or Oratory, but extended to incorporate a dramatic and reading course, such as Miss Henry and Miss Marshall conduct in sixth English. including, however. Modern Drama. For there is nothing like the study of characterization to teach one of human beings, and there is nothing like the study of plays to help us to the full appreciation of Literature, because first of all in a play does faulty plot construction and inelegancy of diction stand out and in no other form of writing are smoothness and beauty more necessary. And above all other things is the fact that to put over a character one must develop to the fullest an exact, graceful carriage, a strong dominant personality and a rich meaningful voice and most important of all his understanding of human nature and himself.

JICTVR POLARIS The Band ME North High band this year was the largest in its history. This was the fourth year it has played at tootball games. This year, however, while it played very successfully at the first game, at the second game it was almost frozen out. Mr. Davis came to the rescue by supplying sufficient wood alcohol to prevent the valves and slides of the horns from freezing, but that did not permit the fingers and ears of the players from freezing! Nevertheless, the band went right on. thereby assisting North High in securing a victory. The next day that the band was to have played was “Flu vacation, and tlie next and the next and the next. In fact, that was all the band has been able to play this year. While the members of the band have been larger in number than ever it has been divided, “owing to the fact that only about half the members had the fifth period vacant and the other half the seventh period vacant. The first half practiced on Tuesdays at noon and the other halt on Friday afternoons. Occasionally, Mr. Hobbs gave permission for all members of the band to meet together, regardless of classes, much to the pleasure of the pupils and displeasure of the teachers, as the hand members always make up the work (?) so promptly. Among the noteworthy features of the band organization has been the fact that we have had to buy four altos and six clarinets, besides the usual cornets and drums. Is the battery, the drum section or the trombone corps? At any rate. four, or five trombones in the high school band make a very heavy “ordinance as one visitor called it. The baritone formerly owned and played by Clarence Strunk, is now in the hands of Lionel Johnson. MIE Glee Club was hampered somewhat on account of the influenza epidemic. )n Christmas Eve, we were one of the group of carollers, who sang throughout the city. We sang, from six until seven o'clock and from Emerson to Irving and Sixteenth to Eighteenth, traversing all of the side streets. It was rather cold, but we all enjoyed it. regardless of the discomforts. Marion Davis directed us. Christmas morning, from ten until eleven o’clock, we sang for the sick at the city hospital. We sang in all of the wards and we were made to feel that all of our efforts were appreciated. Marion Davis directed us and Elsie Wolff accompanied us. On the day that the entire country mourned Roosevelt’s death, a program was given in the auditorium. Marion Davis and Dorothy Scherenbeck sang solos, while the Glee Club also finished a number. When the January nineteen-nineteen class graduated, the Glee Club again furnished the musical numbers on the program. Ruth McCay sang a solo. On North High night at the Art Institute. March the seventh, the Glee Club furnished a couple of musical numbers and led in the community sing.

W hy? For the honor of the school? No. It is of minor importance that any one should train and work that the school should he honored. It does train one t work unselfishly when he thinks of the school, hut it is not the best in athletics for any girl or hoy. For personal honor? No. This has less to commend than honor of the school and should receive the least consideration. The best part of athletics is the training one gets in keeping his body in the best of condition. If you train for athletics it will he demonstrated to you. as it cannot he in any other way. what the results « f certain habits of living will do for your body. You will learn those things that will give you “PEP.” and what will not do so. You will find what is detrimental and what is beneficial. You will have shown to you what your body i worth in comparison with others. Competition will show your deficiencies and ought to be an incentive to make you set about to correct them. Competition will make you try. also, to improve in the qualities in which you are superior to others. )n this basis the poorest player in a squad will probably receive more benefit than the star player. The one who begins training as a freshman and sticks t« it until he finishes school, even if he never plays in public, will have done more for himself athletically than the boy who makes the all-star team. Athletic training is the hardest kind of work, but we call it play, and it is so-called because it is recreation, it is a change from ur set duties. In learning to play one forms a habit that should stay with him all during life. You will not play football when you are forty, but your football of from sixteen to twenty will stay with you and ought to make you find some physical activity suited to your physical condition as you grow older in years but not in spirit. 1 he man or woman who has never learned to play is always old and has a sad time out of life. They are the ones who are compelled to take a rest which generally is a rust.” Athletics should teach you to take some form of wholesome recreation in the most advantageous conditions possible then you will not need to take a rest. Athletics should give you the knowledge of how to keep your body in prime condition and how to relax in mind or how to play. It it does this tor you it is time well spent on the part of the coaches and the boy or girl who participates in the various sports. O. A.

The season opened with Coach Jackson having eight veterans, a good nucleus for a champion team. The opening weeks were spent in hard practice and in a month’s time Coach Jackson secured a game with Co. “B” of the Fourth Minnesota N. G. In this game North showed real offensive power by beating the doughboys 39-0. After two more weeks of hard practice, we played Dunwoody and successfully trounced them by a score of 49-0. But these were preliminary games. Our real season was just about to start. On Oct. 4, 1918. North played Central on our field. Central was picked by many to win, but our boys again displayed great ability and trounced the Central team 27-0. At this stage in the season came a serious upset. The “flu” spread rapidly into the schools and in a few days the schools were closed. But the football team kept right on practicing every day while other teams disbanded temporarily. Each fellow on the squad this season threw away a chance to earn at least $150.00 in the “flu” vacation. This is a fine example of school spirit shown by the fellows. It was during this vacation that North played South and beat them 13-0. We also played West and wc snowed them under by a score of 58-0. the largest score ever piled up by one high school team on another in the history of Minneapolis. The “flu also caused a great deficit in our treasury as these two games were played behind closed gates. On the reopening of the schools our first game was with St. Paul Central, which we beat 20-0. Our last game was our hardest and we were not at our best because we were scheduled three times for the championship game, each time the game was delayed by the “flu.” The final championship game was delayed exactly eighteen days. Wc had passed our zenith and East had hers yet to come. Our schedule began hard and ended hard, while East’s began easy and ended hard. On Nov. 18. 1918, North met East on North field to light out the championship of Minneapolis. North won 7-6. East was the first, last and only team to score on us last season. The fighting spirit of our team was again displayed in this game, as it took our opponents many downs to gain a few yards, and had not a penalty occurred, who knows, they might not have scored.But wc won the game and North High colors floated at the pinnacle of High School Footballdom for 1918. Behind each team there is one man, who directs its plays, who takes the green men. trains them, molds them into a machine ami then strikes home with them. At North this man is Mr. E. R. Jackson, our coach, who gives his time year in and year out, grinds for the love of our school and clean athletics. Coach Jackson passed up many good hunting trips for the school and team during the vacation. He was on the job every day, rain or shine, training his men for a certain end, and he got it. Our coach was one of the largest factors of our championship and in behalf of the school and the team I wish to extend to Mr. Jackson a hearty vote of thanks for his devoted loyalty to North. 124 John H. Middlemist, Captain, 1918. In the first game of the 1918 season North defeated Company B by a 39 to 0 score. North’s victory came as a complete surprise, for the Company B warriors entered the contest heavy favorites. Middlemist. Rulicn. Hiller. Mullin and Erhardt showed lip well. North showed fine early season form. NORTH VS. DUNWOODY, 40-0 North walloped the daylights out i Dun woody in an uninteresting game at our field. The score was 40 to 0. This contest proved to be the best track meet we have run for several years. Erhardt was the big scorer for his team, making four touchdowns. Middlemist. Rulien and Mullin played a great defensive game. In this game Jackson’s men looked like real Championship Contenders. NORTH VS. CENTRAL. 27-0 The best work was done by Ebersperger and Mullin. Ebersperger. by his three sensational touchdowns on intercepted forward passes, did much to store the game safely away. Mulliu’s great defensive playing in the final half kept Central from getting near our goal. Central’s fast backficld gave their team the edge in the first quarter, but after Erhardt’s great 30-yard run for a touchdown, it was North all the way. North’s veteran backlinc plundered the Central line until the opposition was of the weakened sort giving Ebersperger a chance for his touchdowns. The North forwards broke Central’s heart by stopping anything and everything that came their way. Middlemist, by his hard charging, and Hiller by his excellent passing, were big men on the forward line. Mullin played a whale of a game at end. and Erhardt, Levin, and Lindstcn showed up well in the backlinc. By this victory North loomed up as chief contender for the championship. NORTH VS. SOUTH. 13-0 North High defeated South's sturdy warriors by a score of 13-0 on North field. The game was hard fought throughout. In the first quarter South outplayed the North team. When Jackson’s team got started North was not to be denied. The team’s first score came as a result of Erhardt’s pass to Levin. Lindsten, by critical plunging, put the ball on South’s 15-yard line. Balke made the touchdown by circling South’s left end in a triple pass play. After this score South opened up with passes; this led to North’s second touchdown. Erhardt intercepted a pass and ran 25 yards before he was downed. Mullin then skirted right end to South’s 8-yard line. Lindsten was given the ball and smashed thru for a touchdown. Levin kicked the goal. South played with Hurley, fullback, starring. Hiller. Balke. Middlemist. Lind-stren and Levin did the best work for North. 125 North added another scalp to its string when it triumphed over St. Paul Central at Lexington Park. At no time was the North team pressed to win. 1 ‘initiating the situation from start to finish. In the first quarter Central held the Northmen fairly well, but in the second period North’s attack could not he stopped. A 40-yard pass, Levin to Erhardt. put the ball on Central’s 20-yard line. Then a series of passes were started and finally Friend took the ball over. Soon after North received the kickoff in the second half Balke made a sensational 40-yard run. When the ball was within striking distance, Balke was given the ball and took it across on Jackson’s famous triple pass play. In the last few minutes of play Xaused fell on a blocked Central punt for a touchdown. The all around play of the North team was finished and effective. Levin, Erhardt, Balke and Hiller starred. WEST VS. NORTH. 56-0 West was no match for the veteran North High team at North Commons and the Blue and White was victorious 56 to 0. After playing the first team for the first half Coach Jackson sent in his second team, with the exception of his backs. West fought hard, but could not stem the North attack. 'Fhe best work for North was done by Smock. The long boy picked off three West passes and galloped for a touchdown each time. He made the longest run of the season—80 yards. Only once did W est threaten. That was in the final period. The (ireen and White “battlers” reached North’s 40-yard line by successive line plunges and forward passes. At this point, however, the North second team’s defense stiffened and stuff was off for West. Captain Middlemist, Hiller, Rulien and Mullin did stellar work in the line. Erhardt. Levin and Friend starred among the backtield men. Coach Earl Jackson’s machine showel wonderful power in this contest. NORTH VS. EAST, 7-6 On Nov. IS. North met East for the championship of the city on North High Field. The game was hard fought all the way through, and in the end our boys were victorious. North scored early in the third quarter by a neat pass, Levin to Balke. Then came “Zollie’s” winning kick. East scored late in the fourth quarter, after stren-uotis fighting. It was fourth down for East on our 18-yard line, when a North player was found offside, and we were penalized five yards. This gave East first down goal to gain. The first play was stopped in great fashion and the second and third also, but on the fourth down East managed to put the ball over for the only score against North during the season. The game ended shortly after with the ball in the hand of our team, in the middle of the field. Kleber Will. 126 I. mTVR POLARIS ■ ■ .. — Caused.

The long sought for numerals are at last being granted to them for playing a certain number of games on any organized team and winning their tirst one hundred points. A girl must earn seven hundred points to win a monogram, the style of which has not yet been decided upon. This is no easy task and takes a girl from three to three and a half years of steady work in all activities to receive seven hundred points. The girls have not. until recently, realized fully the many opportunities open to them for displaying their talent. Tennis, swimming, track, volley ball, indoor baseball, dancing, hiking, and skating are included in the list oi girls' athletics, and a great deal of talent has been discovered among the girls. On April 17 a program was given by the girls at the 9:50 period, in the auditorium. The various lines of athletics were represented in a little play, and this was followed by a processional in costume. The first numerals ever to be given to the girls in recognition of their work were presented by Mr. Hobbs to the girls of the volley ball teams, after wonderful speeches by Mr. Webster and Mayor Meyers. The first indoor game of the season between the Freshmen and Sophomores opened with vim. and was hard fought and interesting all through. It ended in a victory for the Freshmen. Mr. ittlenrin’s boys would find good opponents in a team picked from among the girl players. An inter-class track meet was the big event of the spring. Come on, girls, and make next term a lively one. You will be furthering your own interests as well as that of your class, and I assure you you will have loads of work and fun. 128 Cora Carlson I. ♦ MKT9RM POLARIS Levin Cap.

His charge was fast and fierce, and once he broke through the line he not only smashed the Interference, but also nailed his man. Had it not been for injuries, Johnson would have been an All-City taekl Lett Tackle. Smock’s long leanness surely came in handy in the West game. He made three touchdowns on intercepted forwards in this game. Besides being a good kicker. Bill was an accurate passer. Smock has the distinction of being the only three letter man on the team.

Erhardt. the boy who humbled Central, walked over South, had the attack against East, and iotnped and played with the West line, has brought home the bacon to North for three consecutive years.

In this case Coach Jackson was the man. Mr. Jackson of uncanny genius in forming plays, developed a wonderful shift from which all plays were pulled. This shift resulted in a fine scoring team.

The fighting spirit which Jackson injected into the boys made possible the championship team. The members of the team express their appreciation for the splendid work Jack has done for them. Coach. Kleber Will, manager of the Champion Team. Klebe was our star of the sidelines. He was in every play with the water bottle and the sponse.

VKT9R PILARIS THE FIRST BASKETBALL SEASON 'T'HK trial basketball season wound up with more success than was expected. A Although our champion team did not win the much sought honor, we still admire their playing, and praise them for the way in which they upheld North’s colors through victory and defeat. We must give each player equal credit for the sincerity in which he worked this season, for the willingness he showed in practice and for the wonderful spirit he showed in his line of play. It was only through the consistent work of ten or eleven boys from the fifteenth of December until the fourteenth of March that gave our school the reputation of having “clean cut athletes in it. for our chances for the championship looked rather gloomy when the first call for basketball candidates was uttered. Xot even one star or a very capable player answered the call. The eagerness to learn by all the candidates, the clean sportsmanship and spirit of “tight every second you’re there” put North in the running. It happened through some misfortune that North did not win the championship. but our team was so close behind the winners that South could not stop for consideration for fear that they would drop a notch. Keep your eye on the team next season, for North will be represented by four regulars of this year’s team, who arc expected to bring home the “bacon. Walter Naused.

DUNWOODY North opened the first basketball season by defeating Dunwoody 16-8. There was no brilliancy displayed on either side, but it was shown North High rooters that the green team representing their school was capable of being developed into a fast machine. NORTH VS. CENTRAL. JAN. 10 North started things off in the basketball championship race bv defeating Central by a score of 31-7. In this game the North quint displayed it' remarkable team work and strong defense. It was at this time that Glenn Allen, our center, grew from a dub” to a star in 40 minutes, by making 25 of his team’s 31 points. 133 The second game of the year was played with West in the North gym. ( ur team’s score tripled West’s, for when the final whistle blew the count was 36-12. This high score was a surprise to many, for Miller, North’s star guard and captain, was kept out of the game by the Hu.” Johnson displayed a wonderful defensive game, while Allen and Worrel shared the “high water mark’’ by caging 14 point-each. NORTH VS. SOUTH. JAN. 24 North took the lead in the championship race by defeating South. Until this game North and South had been tied for top honors, having won two games apiece. If there ever was a fight from start to finish, it was displayed in this combat. Not only the five players were in the game every second of the time, but also the five hundred spectators. There was no choice for the individual star on North’s part of the combat, for all of the boys received equal credit for a score of 22-9. NORTH VS. EAST. FEB. 7 The blue and white basket shooters met their Waterloo in a struggle with the Cardinals. This sob story was brought about somewhat by overconfidence, but mostly by a “flu attack on Glenn Allen The game was marred by rough playing. mostly on East’s part, which draped the crepe into a figure of 10-11 defeat. NORTH VS. CENTRAL, FEB. 14 North defeated Central the second time in the home gym. ( ur makeshift lineup. which was not as fast or as strong as the regulars, chalked up a 19-12 victory through the individual play of Johnson. Hiller and Ericson. NORTH VS. WEST. FEB. 21 'fhe second visit of the North and West quint was marred bv roughness. This repayed visit by our boys was not received as friendly as it might have been by the Westsiders. our host, .for after the third quarter was well under way, a decision made by the referee was not approved of by the West coach. After some arguing. Ensign Kibler thought he saw enough of the game and called his boys off of the floor, which gave us the credit of a forfeit 1-0. NORTH VS. SOUTH. FEB. 28 North lost its chance for the championship by losing a game to South. This was a fast game on the part of both teams, for it was not until the last quarter that Captain Nodel of South shot a basket and four free throws, which defeated North and practically gave them the championship. NORTH VS. EAST, MARCH 14 Our boys wound up the season by defeating East 22-IS. There were no hair raising stunts performed in this game, but the goal sought for was reached mainly to defeat the team that Ribbed us of the cahmpionship. Walter Naused. 134 I. JKTVRil POLARIS T Worret S ulltvatv Iiitler Alien Johnson Leavitt Norman GalinSon 135 ' | 'HE 1918 baseball season was the most disas-trous in years. Without a veteran on the squad. North went through the season without winning a game, although the team showed remarkable improvement in each contest. With a willing team, but inexperienced players, Coach Leslie could not get perfect teamwork, not overlooking the fact that a few individuals showed up brilliantly. That season was disastrous, but as you all know, every cloud has a silver lining.” North’s silver lining is the fact that we have practically the same squad to light North’s baseball battles this season. hen the baseball season started it looked as if North would not be represented in the High School League because of the lack of funds. A deficit of $25.00 remained over front last year and in order to have a team this season. it was necessary to raise money to clear this deficit. So on April 10th. all the enthusiasts of baseball sold tags for 10c and in this way raised enough money to pay the deficit and also had enough money to purchase six new uniforms. Mr. Zittlcman was appointed coach to succeed Mr. Leslie. At the first call for candidates, about fifty fellows reported at North Commons. Among the candidates for the team were seven letter men. namely Harry Abramson, captain of the 1918 team, who is expected to hold down the initial sack; Wesley Strouts, pitcher; Kenneth Cheese, catcher; John Chodas, second base; Cieorge Kammerer. third base, and Sam Lifshitz and Abe Becker, outfielders. All of these fellows are showing wonderful progress in both hitting and fielding. Besides these veterans of last year’s team, who i expected to hold down the in reported and have been out practicing every day. Among the candidates are Gilbert Forsythe, Leonard Thompson and Leslie Brown, all of whom are expected to help on the pitching staff; Harold Sandhoff and William Hilvers. catchers. Candidates for the infield are Ellery White, Don Yerkey, Harry Winter. Albert Brooks. Clyde Weber. Abe Dryer and Benjamin Hershowitz. The following are promising candidates for the outfield. Eldon Mason. Robert Carlson. Lloyd Pearson. Howard Peterson. Julian Sletten. Clarence Dahl, Lyle Cammon. All of these fellows are staging hard fights fora place on the first squad. Up to the time that this magazine was printed. North has played one game, Dumvoodv. The score being 11-5 in North's favor. The team showed remarkable strength at both fielding and batting. Strouts and Forsythe both pitched stellar ball throughout the contest. 136 I. « MKTVR P0U1RIS From the progress the hoys are making on the field. Coach Zittk-man expects to develop a team which will give every school a hard rub and one that will be a strong contender for the baseball championship. With the experience gained last year, with the seven letter men back in uniform. and with the support of the entire student body. North is sure to turn the tide of last season and win the title. Harry W. Abramson, Captain. 1918. LIFCHITS CAPTAIN Sam Lifchits. renowned supporter of athletics throughout North High School, has been chosen to lead this year’s baseball team. His uncanny ability in sizing up situations and untiring spirit make him the wonderful player that he is. He fairly hypnotizes the ball with his eagle eye out in left field. His hitting ability is unquestionable. Let it be enough to say that the other high school pitchers fear tlu breeze from tlu- mighty swing of his war-club. Here’s to Capt. Lifchits’ success.

North has always had a stronger representation in outdoor track work than in the indoor meets, tlu reason being that the outdoor work appealed to the fellows more. This year, owing to basketball taking the place of indoor track, we have an equal start with the other high schools, for they have had larger indoor squads in former years. In looking over the material, the first athlete to attract our attention is Walter Xaused, with three years’ experience, should prove to he a whirlwind and a consistent point winner, more than ever this year. Right with Xaused we have Dave Sperling, Clarence Sorenson, Leo Leavitt and Lewis Golitison in middle-distance events. In addition to these there are other fellows who, by the end of the season, will prove valuable. Another athlete of note is John Middlemist. in the discus and weight events. John, with a little polishing, should shatter some records and also prove a consistent point getter. There are also Gross and Hiller in the weights to back Middlemist up. Another athlete who will undoubtedly break a record is Evald Johnson in the javelin event. Allen and Balke are the two men Xorth relies upon to uphold the colors in the hurdles. W e have Ebersberger, I lamilton and Balke in the high jump and running broad jump. Several men are trying the pole vault, amongst which one or two should develop and bolster us in this event. I his is a summary of what can be expected from our fellows this track season, if they get the proper backing. So let's get out and support the team which expects to cop the championship. INTER-CLASS MEET DV the showing in the early meets of the season. North does not seem to be out of the running for the city track championship. Mr. Jackson seems to have a bunch of fellows who are willing to work and uphold the interest of the school in all of the track meets this year. The time made in inter-class meets at Xorth, compared with the time of the early meets at other schools, gives our team considerable credit. Prospects show that we have several fellows who may follow in the footsteps of Carrier or Eckberg as all around point winners, for the first meet of the season has Captain Johnson and “Spike Allen chalked up fur 21 points each. With a little development Middlemist should he a terror in the shot and discus. The Seniors won this meet with 83 points, followed by the Sophomores, who scored 26. just nosing out the Juniors, who had 23, while the first year men were last with a low 3 points. 139 Walter Xaused. UICTTOSI P9LARIS J Sorensen Track Team Allen GolinSon Johnson 140 TOO much credit cannot be given the second team that last season stood the bruising and battering of the first team and came back lor more. On the second team are often men who have tried to make the first team for some consecutive years. The coach knows these men and watches them and often in their last year they receive their coveted letter. But there is also a class who never attain even this; they are handicapped through weight, too much or too little, but who are, nevertheless, the life and spirit of the second team. We have some of these men. Chief among them are: Edward Rosenfield, “Fat Shapleigh. Erickson. Segal. (lolinson, Toby” Chris. Mason. Lifchits and the whole “bunch who when the flu epidemic gave them freedom, unselfishly day by day were out on the field fighting and helping to bring a championship to the Blue and White. Jerry T. Mullen. NOVICE MEET IX the early meets of the season some very good material was uncovered, for every event went through a hard contested field before it fell to a winner. The seniors won the meet with a five-man team. The individual star was Balke with 20 points to his credit, followed very closely by Allen, also a member of tlie senior team, who scored IS points. These two men are booked to beaters before the outdoor season is over. Ilimie (Irossman, a sophomore, proved himself a “comer” by taking first in the 220 and 440-yard dashes and also placing in the 25-yard dash and the half mile run. The final results of the meet are: Seniors. 47: Sophomores, 40: Juniors. 21. and Freshmen, 1. W. H. E. N. RELAY TEAM RELAY teams on the track squads past have usually been unnoticed, because with a few exceptions North has not produced winning “Fours.” This year's relay men will be noticed because it should and will be a winning team. This seems at first to sound like a radical statement which needs to be backed by sound proof. First the number of men to be picked from is greater. Next, those men are faster than other schools so far have shown. And most important, there is the relay record which stands on the track bulletin. which needs to be broken and which is the goal of the fellows. Relay races are always the most exciting event in meets. The replacing or the changing of tired men bv fresh fellows makes the race faster than any other and the change often brings a faster man against a slower one which results in a change in the lead, making it all the more exciting. So if you want to see something good, turn out to the track and stay for the relay race which is the last event of a meet. 141 Alfred Johnson. Track Captain.

Surely it isn't six o’clock and. even it it were, the whistles wouldn’t blow so long. Oh! now I know. Of course, it’s peace.” She settled down again, not to sleep, but to dream of the soldier husband who would be safe now and probably be home soon. In the morning she, with several of her friends, went downtown to “celebrate. And celebrate they did. No one tooted horns and blew whistles louder than they, for all of them had a husband, brother or some dear one who would be coming home soon. In France a soldier who had fought in the last battle was dying. He turned to a slightly wounded chum who sat on the side of the bed and said: “Tell Helen it's ‘Peace Day’ for me. I’ve won the real Peace. Dorothy Campbell, '21. VICTORY. IN this wonderful year of ninetecn-nineteen North High joins in the one song of victory that rings around the world. We have climbed up the rugged hills of war and we can see above the clouds the silver lining—Victory. The world, the country, and our school has each one had its victories. The world rejoices in the victory of the war won. Germany is defeated. It has been a victory of democracy against autocracy, a victory of civilized warfare against the barbarous military victory of the Huns. The principle of right over might has been established, and the so-called divine right of kings has been defeated. ()ur greatest national victory is the victory of prohibition. Over the fact that liquor, as well as. the kaiser, has been dethroned, all America rejoices. The abolishing of liquor is the greatest moral victory since 1863. This year also marks the victory of patriotism over selfishness. In giving and working we have learned to give too. We have been victorious, and yet while we are thinking of this victory of Democracy over Autocracy we must not forget the sacrifices which have been made. I he sacrifices of our boys, the boys of the United States, those of our own North High School. Many of our handsome robust lads have been wounded, some slightly, some severely and some, disabled for life. Seventeen made the supreme sacrifice, gave up all that they held dear for the sake of humanity. C an we ever forget what they didr We must not! Do we people, we students, think deeply enough, reflect long enough on these bigger, better things of life? 145 UICT9R P9LARIS .1 It seems to me that sorrow must come fairly close to our own door to make us realize that these hoys sacrificed for us. each and every one of us, as well as for the people of devastated France and Belgium. When we come into the Assembly Room and look upon our flag of some six hundred stars, we sec scattered through them the gold. Kach one of those gold stars means a young life offered for humanity; means a sorrow brought to the life of dear ones. Now, the period for reconstruction is before us and we must all work and help to bring about those conditions most needed for the betterment of humanity. But let us ever keep in our minds, the sacrifices made necessary to bring about the conditions derived from the war. Bernice Lonergati. A True Story of “Over There” OX November tenth 1 was in the front line trench at Sedan and. except for the distant rumble of machine guns and occasional shells bursting, it was comparatively quiet. The moon was shining in a red sky. and a few stars were visible from my trench. To one unaccustomed to war it seemed quite peaceful and unvvarlike. but 1 knew it was the sort • f quiet that precedes a storm. Captain Chase, of my company, had asked for five volunteers, and I. with three others, had stepped forward and saluted. “()ne more, please,” said our captain ; and every man answered. “Boys.” said our captain. “1 will go myself. The lieutenant was to go tonight, but I will take his place. I know you all want to go. but that is impossible this time. Not one « f the volunteers can hope to come back. Lieutenant, you are in command here. We must get a message which will be sent to this point. There were not more than twenty men there, but more have been sent, and we will make sure. W hen we are close enough, the rockets and lights will enable us to see about how many they have. Mold your men in readiness and watch closely for my signal. The message is due at 2:45. It is now midnight.” 1 wrote my last will and testament; then a letter to each of my sweethearts, which I gave to my friend Pat to mail in case I went West. I also gave him two packages of gum. Then I sat down, with my eyes glued to my watch, and consumed four bars of chocolate and smoked the better part of a package of fags. 1 he word was passed to be ready in five minutes. 146 I. POL IRIS We were ready to go at last, and, armed with pistols, trench-clubs, and wire-cutters, we ascended the ladder, one at a time; than, like so many monkeys, we went over the sand parpets. wriggled through the path cut through the barbed-wide, and found ourselves in No-man's Land. So sometimes we trotted, and sometimes we crawled, and when a sky rocket or a Very light went up, we held to our positions, not daring to move. It seemed a long way. but it really was not. We reached the enemy’s wire-entanglements without discovery, but one poor fellow had not mastered the art of cutting wires noiselessly, and he bungled the job horribly. Anyone but a German would have heard the racket he made, but our enemies slept serenely on. unconscious of their distinguished visitors. Our signal was given, and we passed through another lovers’ lane of barbed-wire and eventually dropped within the German trench unchallenged. We felt our way around in the dark, doing our utmost to avoid the owners of the voices which we could hear uncomfortably near at hand. 1 never learned why. but suddenly they came at us hot and heavy. We vigorously used our trench clubs, but t« no avail; our force was hopelessly outnumbered. The captain fell, and I carried him t« a nearby dugout. and then went back to the scene of slaughter. I. the sole survivor, was surrounded by ten or eleven big. overgrown fellows, but. being Irish, was still fighting, when a loud cheer rent the air, and all but two of those beasts went down. It was wonderful, the way they died. They were so militarized, they even died in step, going down mechanically. The company had come! None escaped, they couldn’t because the marines were in control. When we finished, only one was able to talk, and his vocabulary was somewhat limited, the nearest he approached eloquence, was when he said, “Kamerad.” After we had gently disposed of our hosts. 1 remembered the captain, and hurried to the dugout. As 1 entered the door, something hit me with the force of a mule, and I went down. We fought, but he had all the advantage, and at last hit me on the head with something which was not as soft as it should have been. 1 retained sufficient reason to hear a shot and a groan, as that thug hit the ground in my immediate vicinity. When my brain entirely cleared, there was a light in the hut and an American was receiving the message. The captain had killed the Hun who tried to kill me. and then had died. Guards reported that our little raid had been heard of and German help was on the way. We were not a bit surprised, because Germans are such gossips! We were going to hold this trench, so two others and I were sent to our lines for help. I tit I never reached them unaided. A shell exploded a little too close to me and turned my world black. 147 UICT9JW P9LARIS J 1 came to only to find myself half buried in a shell hole, midway between the two front lines. 1 was burning with fever, and dying of thirst. I dreamed that I was with my prettiest friend, who was wearing a hat trimmed with large trank-furters. I carried a box of fresh sauerkraut under my arm. which 1 offered to her as bowed. She accepted it. and petted me wit under my arm. which I offered to her as I Even the sweetest of dreams must end, and as this was no exception. 1 again entered the world of grim reality, to find that every shell, exploding, was showering me with earth. At last 1 was unable to move. 1 suffered agonies until some kind foe mercifully hit me with a bit of steel, and I drifted into the Land of Stupor. I was found by a Y. M. C. A. man. thirty hours later, and am now in a hospital. minus one arm and two lingers and with my left leg paralyzed. But on waking, I learned that an armistice had been signed. Ye had won! Victory!

MICTVR POLARIS OUR SCHOOL DAYS DO E S NT it seem strange, classmates, that we are “A Seniors; that after we graduate, we shall never be able to get together our entire number? Where have these last four years flown? They have sped by so fast, that one can hardly remember the days spent in the different classes. But I know we all remember the first day. Do you recall how we told Mildred or Gladys, John or Bill to be sure to call for us that morning? For we certainly would not go alone into that awful (yet. it did fill us with awe) building of mystery. Then with fresh hair-ribbons, or newly creased suits, we started waver-ingly out. Only the satisfying knowledge that there were hundreds of others, just as green.” gave us the courage to open the heavy doors and trudge in. hat a stream of children, and what a din! Must of them were crowding in front oi a board in the corridor. So, by meekly peering around the corners of Those W ho Knew How to Act. some of us found out where we belonged: but. oh. how sadly misdirected many were! Then began the climb upwards on the Ladder of Knowledge. Report cards appeared. with many well-earned A's. Freshman days were days of trial. Once in a while we had the privilege of gazing, open-mouthed and wide-eyed, at some A Senior. It would be four endless years before we ever would reach that stage. But the days passed fast, after all. and. after a blissful vacation, we were Sophomores. Perhaps that word was not so grand and majestic as “Junior.” or “Senior.” but it meant that we were no longer considered “greenies.” Changes appeared. A few girls discarded hair-ribbons. Long trousers were more in evidence. Good marks decreased slightly, and a few Fails” appeared. Some received the grand and glorious feeling” which came from having material published in the Polaris, with the author’s name written there for all the school to see! Our Sophomore days slipped by surprisingly fast. and. to our joy. we were transformed to Juniors. “Junior.” That word sounded advanced. High heels and fashions appeared. No boy who could boast of five feet of height deigned to wear knee breeches. Many reached the magic age of sixteen, the do as I please age: and the result was that an A” on a card generally caused a commotion. The Junior year sped by so amazingly fast, that it was hard to realize that we were to begin the final year of high school. 149 UICTVR2J P9L4RIS .1 On account of the interruptions caused by the “flu epidemic, our “B Senior term was short, and eventless as far as school life was concerned. But it was during this term that the wonderful Victory was won! And that was enough. And now we are “A Seniors. Through these four years of work and pleasure. we have learned what a beautiful thing friendship is. and memories of our friendships will always live with us. Our school life has existed during days that can never be blotted out. This war, in which so many of our brave boys have paid the Supreme Sacrifice;—shall we forget it? In the future, when we read of the many events of these few years, we shall tell the younger generation, “Those were the days when I went to North High School. Olive Boe. '19. EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY OF A SOLDIER Scene—In a Trench Over There Nov. 9. 1918 TODAY 1 feel very much discouraged. Even now as I write, we are being stormed by a lively barrage of bullets. Thanks to my strong dug-out. I am safe and feel quite at ease. Yes, quite at ease, for 1 do not feel wholly calm, wholly quiet in mind. How long must this war continue? Each day I see men wounded, maimed, and killed. It has occurred so often that it has become a sickening monotony. Where is the romance of war! War is a disagreeable, horrible state and should only be entered upon in the direst extremity. Nov. 10. 1918. I am in high spirits today for I have received a letter from the folks at home. The folks at home! (lee. but it’s great to hear from them again. The good old U. S. A. That is what is keeping up our fighting spirits. The knowledge that the whole United States is backing us up. 1 hat the folks at home are daily watching us and depending upon us. No. the letter disproves such a thought. Oh when we get back won’t we just appreciate America. Well, we’re here to finish this war and we won’t go back 'till it’s over, over here. But if I do get back to America, it’s going to take some powerful magnet to draw me away from her. Nov. 11. 1918 Whoopee! Hurrah! OJoy! Peace is declared. We’ve won the war. Now back home to the folks and the good old U. S. A. Yes, we’ll leave the trenches. It’s all over. Thank (lod I’ve lived to see it through. Now for the life of a citizen, for a life of peace. 150 Harry Berger. TTAD it been a coincidence that Harney had re- turned on one train and Jack had left on the other, so that Barney had leaped aboard? Jack somehow didn't think so. Barney was an Airedale, while lack, who was leaving for a training camp, was a Yankee. Barney accompanied Jack to Camp Upton, where the two spent happy days together. When Jack left for France, he left Barney, with a sigh, beside the pier. As the bell tinkled and the gang plank was pulled up. it was found that the ship had an extra passenger. a small tired-looking dog that answered to the name of Barney. The captain at first intended to dispense with this stowaway by throwing it overboard. He gave up this idea wlu-n several “doughboys” pled with him for Barney’s life. (This is probably the nearest Barney ever got to “Davy Jones’ Locker”). So Barney went to France with his master. [a:k. Another coincidence? Jack said it was just luck. The landing at B-------. France, was in the night, and Barney, of course, was left aboard lost. “A good riddance. thought the captain. A hike of twenty miles brought them to their billets, consisting of old barns, partly filled with straw, but mostly with cooties. When Jack “turned in that night, something crawled up beside him, a dusty and somewhat worn out Barney. After a few weeks of training. Jack was sent to the front, but this time Barney “marched beside him. It was a long dusty hike, lasting two days, but they finally were there, and. after a few hours' rest, they were put in the front line of trenches. About the middle of the night, the word passed along that two o’clock would be “zero hour, or that they would go over the top at two o'clock. Jack was all excitement, and was glad that Barney was safe behind the lines. The time crept on while the boys waited. At one minute before two. they stood ready on the fire step. Jack was with the first “wave.” Suddenly a whistle blew, over the top at last. Jack, trying to remember all he had been told, charged with the rest. Suddenly there was a flare, and a pain in his left side. He stumbled and fell. Something cold touched his hand—Barney. He also had been hit. It was two hours later. The Huns had been driven back. A stretcher-bearer with a Red Cross on his sleeve tripped over two figures lying dead. One was a dog and the other a soldier. Barney and Jack had made the supreme sacrifice.

Here I am in history, supposed to he thinking about the Rennaisance movement, and I’m already down with spring fever. Outside it's cold, and there’s snow on the ground—inside, the history teacher is asking questions and everyone knows the first bell is going to ring in a few minutes, but all I can hear is the hum of steel wheels on steel rails, and all 1 can see is clear summer landscape going past me as I sit on purple plush cushions in the train. Crows wheel and circle in the light blue summer skv over green, rustling corn. Fields of wheat and acres of grassy meadows stretch far into the distance. Grazing horses lift up their heads and whinny as the train goes by. We roar over trestles and look down on little lakes that reflect the cloudless summer sky. Farmer folk look up from their rowboats to see what it is that interrupts the quiet summer afternoon’s fishing. The roar of the trestle ceases; once again we hear only the methodical hum and click oi the rails. Again we take up the pageant of hills, woods, fields, and generous American sunshine that goes to make a midsummer's journey on the train. I’m not on the train now. I’m setting on the grassy bank just above the swimming hole. 1 have my back to a big oak tree and I'm in the coolest, shadiest spot I can think of. The lake is calm; not a ripple disturbs its surface. The trees on the opposite shore are reflected perfectly in the water. The sun is descending, and already in the western sky are to be seen faint hints of the coining sunset. A lone turtle somewhere on the lake croaks hoarsely and lapses into silence. Sporting bass and bullheads cause a tiny splash here and there as they make too sudden an entry upon the ethereal regions. Well, I’ll be the first one in today, at least. Here comes the whole bunch through the woods; their vodeling and whistling can be heard half a mile off. Wow! if this isn’t the hottest wheat field I’ve ever seen. Here’s a wagon we can rest under while the resting’s good—ten or fifteen minutes, we’ve got. Not much shade under here. The whole field—the whole countryside, is so hot that heat waves rise like invisible flames from the ground. The sun above burns a fierce yellow, drops of sweat roll down the men’s faces as they stop work for a few minutes. The horses stand in their traces, heads down, wearily switching the flies from their glistening, foam-flecked sides. 152 I. VKTVRa POL MtS The wheat, golden, shining, is the only thing not troubled by the relentless rays of the harvest sun. It is in its prime, its glory. I he uncut stands defiantly in its big square in the middle of the field, and whispers to each little breath of wind that comes along. The other—-so lately cut.— stands in orderly shocks about the field—a tribute to the work of the farmer. The seat of the binder creaks as someone slowly climbs into it and picks up the reins. The driver clucks to his horses, the horses lean lazily forward on the traces, the binder moves.—and the afternoon's work is again taken up. Oh. boy. this is the life! Here I am. drifting, drifting, nowhere, everywhere. The canoe is going about a foot an hour. 1 suppose. I don’t care. M-m-rn. the moon’s bright tonight, isn't it? A little too bright maybe. There, you can see the silver path from us t« the moon. See? There it is. right on the water. Almost to the moon, anyway. Just listen to those little waves lapping the side. — I’m glad there's no wind tonight. The air certainly is still, isn't it? Listen! do you hear that music across the lake? . . . My. you can hear it plainly from here. . . . I ’ret ty tune, eh? X . my arm isn’t asleep. Isn’t even uncomfortable. It never was so comfortable in all its life. . . . Never will be, either.

THE ••CRAB OF EVANSVILLE A X old man was stamping down the rickety board 1 walk on the main street of Evansville. His face was flushed and short, angry puffs of smoke were billowing from his corn-cob pipe. The children who were playing along the road scattered at his approach and watched him furtively, for they knew that “Crab” Crandall was not in a very peaceful frame of mind. The children were right, for “Crab.” the most pessimistic pessimist Evansville had ever known, was in an ugly mood. He was muttering between puffs. “What a muddle we’re in—what a muddle we re in, try in’ to buck up against such a country like Germany. We’ll have an easy time—oh. yes!” nd he passed on. his temper rising every minute. That was in nineteen-seventeen. During the Germans’ terrible drive. “Crab” would eagerly scan the papers, sigh in an “I told you so” manner, and would gloomily saunter down Main Street every day. That was in the spring of ninetcen-eighteen. 153 UlCTyRS P9UWIS .1 But suddenly everybody’s spirit rose high in exultation. The invading Germans had been stopped, they had recoiled, and were slowly retreating. But the retreat had gained momentum, and gathering speed, had turned into a headlong flight towards the Rhine. “Crab” was changing. Ik even smiled once or twice and began to experience an uncomfortable feeling that maybe his pessimistic attitude towards the war was totally wrong. Suddenly on a November day the country was electrified with news which they had long been waiting for. Victory! They had won the struggle! Peace ruled supreme! W hen “Crab” heard the news, he said simply, Well of all the,—” and dashed out of the house as fast as his rheumatic legs would permit him. and went down Main Street towards the crowd which was assembling near the post-office. As usual, the children scattered when lie came past, but instead of scowling at them and shaking his stick, he called them to him and gave pennies to each and everyone of them. They glanced wonderingly at each other and then dashed gleefully to the candy store. “Crab walked on with a queer exprssion on his face and muttered musingly, “We’ve won. we've won.” He lapsed into silence, but with a laugh roused hiuself from his lethargy, chuckling. “Well, well,—mebbe I was wrong after all!” William Berman. ’21. ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL CHOOL. lessons, how we dreaded those two s things! The very sound of them made us sick and we did our best to save our parents a big doctor bill whenever we could. Some of the clever devices we fixed so that we could remain out of school were headaches, toothaches, stomachaches, earaches, colds. “I think my ankle is sprained. I’d better not go to school,” and “hookey whenever the dread of the aforesaid words became so great that we were ready to face a raw-hide or razor-strap rather than go to school. It was on one of those particular days when we boys shivered, in spite of the warmth of the day, at the thought of “school and “lessons.” We had remained home the day before with the help of one of our devices and knew it would not be safe to try another one so soon. We were drawing nearer to the school each minute. We all had the same thought in our minds, but no one of us. had courage to put it to words or action. We made the turn in the road and there the school house loomed up before us. A ghastly spectacle which reflected the words “down” and “prison.” to us. Then it was that Harry McKina spoke. c-Jfe- He said. “What’s the use of walking into our graves if we can stay out? Who wants to go to his grave so soon? Who wants a school house for his tombstone? Who wants the word lesson” for his epitaph? Who wants to play hookey!” 154 I. MKTVRX POLARIS A chorus of voices answered “I! “Settled!” said Harry. ‘‘Kight about face! Forward to the swimming hole!” We were in the home of our friend-in-distress, the cool, refreshing water in fifteen minutes. It's better n goin' to school,” said Tony. “Jiggers! Duck! The teacher! Jumpin' cats! She’s coinin' right this way! Scatter! Never mind, she turned down the other way! Whew! Narrow escape!” exclaimed Tommy, in one breath. “Wonder where she’s goin’ V what's the matter,” said Mike. We had not long to wait for the answer, for Fat Flynn was seen running towards us. He sat clown on the bank and started to unlace his shoes before he answered our questions. Miss Hamer’s mother is very sick so she has to go where her mother lives. She said that her mother lived over nine hundred miles away and that she wouldn’t be back again this term. Just think! There is over a month until vacation! I'm goin' swimmin’ every day. Oh Boy!” What a good time we had that day and the rest of the days of that vacation, which came to a close all too soon. We then went back to our old routine of going to school and playing “sick” and “hookey. Felix Doran, '22. LORRAINE A thousand eyes Are turned upon. A thousand sighs Are breathed upon.

THE war’s over and I’m going to forget it and have a good time as soon as Bob conies home ’ “1 wonder, smiled Barbara’s mother, softly. “Yes, I am. After two years of lighting. Bob deserves a good time, and after all my work — And Barbara made preparations for a good time. Her deft lingers flew. How much it means to a girl to have dainty, silken things to wear! Barbara’s eager efforts brought forth an array of lovely, delicate garments, and then she waited contentedly for Bob’s return. She was armed, you see, for her good time. Then Bob came home—Bob, a stranger. Barbara. crushed in the circle of his khakied arms, reflected upon the change. Perhaps it was only the interesting red scar, that yawned across his forehead, reaching, like a tiny path, up into the shadow of his dark hair. “Little sister. began Bob, “I meant to forget everything, but you and mother for a solid month, and just have a good time. But 1 can’t do it unless 1 tell you my plans.” “A month? murmured Barbara, dazedly. “Yes, though 1 feel like a truant taking so long. I’ve signed up for a firm in Montana, and I must get there in time to make ready for spring planting.” “A farm ! But”— “Oh, I know I used to laugh at the idea of a farm, but Uncle Sam needs me. and I belong to Uncle Sam. “But the war’s over,” choked Barbara. W e've done our share. Bob shook his head, gravely. “The fighting with guns may be over, Babs, but we have a bigger fight ahead—one that calls for hard work, patience, and determination and receives little glory. I helped over there in France, but I've only begun to do my share.” “Come upstairs a minute. Bob, she ordered, and led the way to her room. Opening a big chest, she drew out garment after garment oi a fairylike wardrobe. “Pretty junk, admired Bob, but he frowned. Where was the connection between clouds of chiffon and rippling silks and a Victory Farm in Montana? Pretty—yes! sighed Barbara, holding the loveliest gown of all against her for a moment before she dropped it back into the chest. Phe cover fell with a proud little thud. Barbara’s eyes were bright as she faced her brother. “After all. though.” she decided, a curious mixture of regret and triumph in her voice, “overalls would look rather—smart, don’t you think.' Alice Manly, 19. 156 I. ♦ VKTVM POLARIS THE CHICK AWAY FROM THE BROOD There's a sort of lonesome feeling. Stealing deep within my heart. It’s the bit of homesick feeling That friends feel when they’re apart. And they straightway fall t« thinking. Of the times that have gone by. Just so hud I that I’m dreaming Of the days at Old North High. Down the corridors I’m strolling Seeing faces that arc new; Then beholding other faces Of old friends well-tried and true. Hearing the familiar bell tones Calling each to room or class.— Here and there a hearty greeting. As old friends and classmates pass. Now the teacher is explaining Some hard passage that we’ve found. Or there’s someone reading Shakespeare. In a voice deep and profound. Then alas, an interruption— Quick sharp bells and hast’ning crowd. Some are laughing, others scolding; Here a teacher calls aloud. Hurry up there! Get in line, sir! You may burn crisp if you wait. Quick now! Hasten! Quit your loit’ring! There’s no time for such a gait. Out we pour in crowded masses. Just to form in line once more; For the smoke seems to have vanished And the lire to all be o’er. Auditorium the boards say, And we hasten (?) down the halls Noiselessly into our places And a tapping order calls. “Co-operation, that’s a big word And it means a whole lot, too. And initiative’s another. Don’t forget, for there are two.” Was it only just a mem’ry? Is it true, those days are passed? And the future of that present In its embrace holds me fast? Like a stray chick I am gazing Upon views new to my sight. And a homesickness is stealing In my heart this very night. I will cease to tire you longer (For I’ve tried and only failed) To describe that lonesome feeling. Please excuse me if I’ve wailed. For the pen can ne’er depict it, That most heart-paining mood Of the lonesome little stray chick Away from the brood. 157 Ruth Olney. 1 A A'■ 1919 UICT9R P9LARI5 ★ J THE ATTRACTIVE A. G. E.

It wasn’t spring fever, he was sure. He was strangely left ah ne by the other fellows, but—why! Then he realized the whole dreadful truth. All the other fellows were in love, or thought that they were! As plainly as the red Great Britain stood out on the map the realization came to him all of a sudden. hirst had come Dickon’s downfall. In some odd way he had become entangled with Natalie Scmebodv-Jones' smiles and feminine ways. Dickon—of all the fellows! Dickon had resistless charms for the feminine sex. but he himself had always seemed out of danger from their wiles. IIG flattering glances, quick sayings and clever ways had all seemed to lie lost in after-school boyishness and early fishing trips, but now— Andrew Grimm suddenly remembered me night when Dickon had not gone home with them: but had wandered al mg with the sweet Natalie—the whole width of the sidewalk between them, and both strangely quiet, but giggly. Andrew-grin-cver’s eyes were dark an 1 a bit puzzled. He pushed a friendly lock of hair back with an impatient hand, then remembered with a sudden feeling of 158 r.

Just then Ellsworth W allace Huyler Mann passed Andrew Grimm's desk on his way t the waste basket, a monstrous jack knife in one hand, three broken pencils in the other, and—Andrew Grimm Evers looked again—and a starched shirt of fascinating blue! Hlue shirts always looked well on Ellsworth.

'21. 159 The Dumore )ffice Supply Company was organized for the purpose of furthering the most efficient combination of F.ng-lisli training for students in the Commercial Department : students who are about to go directly into the fields of business on graduation from the High School. It is really a general course in expression both oral and written based on the principals of creating as many real situations of business as it is possible to handle intelligently in the class room. The first twelve weeks of English for senior Commercial students is spent on the study of Business Correspondence, including practice letters daily for criticism and comparison with letters from actual business houses. At the beginning of the second term the students start with the organization of real office practice under the name of the “Dumore Office Supply Company.” The separate classes are distinguished as “Branch A”. Branch B. etc. This organization is a miniature office with Business Management, Correspondence, and Equipment Departments. Another phase of the work is the discussion of such practical topics as Hints to Stenographers and Employees in General,” Essentials for Promotion.” and Advertising Technique.” The community letter work is also carried on in connection with the office. Each student chooses a vocation and business location. Letters are written to him by all other students. A reply is written to every letter, as well as a criticism. Verna Larson, January, ‘20.

Several typewriters, a mimeograph, and adding machine are in evidence. At his desk in the rear of the room, a bookkeeper is hard at work. Mr. Grayson, a middle-aged man. but younger-looking because of an especially alert manner, is seated at his desk. This morning he has a worried expression on his face. Mr. Grayson inspected again the letter which had just come in from his complaint department. Suddenly he pressed the bell at the side of his desk determinedly: at the same time taking up the receiver of his telephone, and giving a number which you would instantly recognize if you had hunted for employment during vacation. “Hello, hello, is this the Kmployment Bureau?” he said impatiently. “W ell, send me up all the applicants you have for stenographic positions down there. I’m going to do my own picking this time, and--” I do not wish to bore you with the completion of this telephone interview, so imagine yourself having just entered the office as the general manager returned the receiver to its hook. He was again engaged in ringing the bell vigorously. The door of the outer office opened slowly, and. sleepy of eye. and slouchy of appearance, his stenographer shambled in. At one glance he exploded, Is it impossible to get a good stenographer, nowadays. one who at least knows that eleven o'clock in the morning is no time to fall asleep over her typewriter? Now. listen here. Miss Brown. This is the fourth mistake you've made in one week and I've come to the conclusion that unless I dispense with your services. I'll be a subject for charity within a year. Understand me? You are fired!” He swung around in his chair and set to work, ignoring the open-mouthed expression of his surprised employee. A minute later he heard the door slam shut with a vehemence of which he had not thought her capable, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Thank the Lord, that's done, he exclaimed, rubbing his palms together, as if having rid himself of something which had been on his mind for weeks. “What is it, Bobby?” 161 UlCTWy P L JRIS J This was addressed to a bright youngster of fourtten. who, it could readily be seen, had a very exalted idea of himself. “Gee, boss, va' ought to see the bunch of women out there, fighting for the seat next to the door right here. W hat should I do with them? It’s all right, my boy, don’t get excited.” said Grayson, straightening, and preparing for the ordeal. “Show them in. one by one, until I tell you to stop. As Bobby opened the door, a hubbub of voices could be heard. All right. Peach, you’re first. Mr. Grayson heard hi- fresh young employee calling out. There was a swish of skirts, and the door closed. Mr. Grayson looked up casually from his work a moment later to meet a vision which made him close his eyes for an instant to see if lie was awake. Before him stood a very conspicuous, showy, gum-chewing creature, with a thin cheap silk waist on. a tight skirt of almost impossible checks, and dirty white-topped shoes with heels not less than two inches. Her hair was plastered back tight against her head, with spit-curls wherever convenient on her forehead, and a little Napoleonic hat was perched over her left eye. She favored him with a broad grin and a sly wink. Knew this new hat would make a hit with that office boy, she said sweetly, as she pulled it over toward the right eye, and glanced around the office. Think I'll do. mister? With a gasp of horror, Mr. Grayson pressed the button, and speechlessly waved the maiden toward the door. Bobby. he said hoarsely, after the youngster had shown the indignant girl to the door, if there are any more out there like that, tell them they are wasting their time. “Don't worry, boss. said the office boy. they’re all different.” Grayson steeled himself for the next attack. The door opened and a mannish young woman, wearing a tailored suit and a stiffly starched shirtwaist, walked up to the desk, and rattled off. I have had seven years of experience. 1 expect a salary of eighteen dollars a week to begin with. 1 am willing to work from nine-thirty until five with Saturday afternoon off. I expect to be under no other stenographer, and not more than four hours of dictation a day. I expect one month vacation with full pay during that time. I expect — Hurriedly Mr. Grayson pressed the button, saying, “Am sorry. Miss, but you expect too much. and Bobby showed her to the outer door. I he Lord give me strength. said Grayson softly, if I have to go through this again. Just a moment. Bobby, and I'll choose the next one myself. C POLARIS He opened tlie outer door a trifle, to glance over the ensemble. Such a mixture of types he had never seen before. Suddenly, on the other side of tlie room, lie saw a young girl, of not more than seventeen years of age. sitting quietly by herself. She had evidently given up hope of being interviewed. He opened the door, caught her eye. and beckoned to her. Immediately she rose, found her way through the other women, and walked into the office. For a moment Grayson sized her up. He liked her neat, stylish way of dressing, and her easy, unembarrassed manner, even though she was conscious of his scrutiny. She had evidently had experience. “How much experience have you had? he questioned. “None, sir.” she said quietly, “I am graduating from North High School next month, but as we are allowed to go out on positions earlier, I thought I would apply for this.” “What made you think you could do the work?” said Grayson, surprised that his surmise of her had been incorrect, but yet admiring her pluck. “We have been trained in several lines of business work, including business English and Correspondence, and although I am inexperienced in office routine, I believe I can do the work. At least. 1 can try my best.” This last was given in an honest, straightforward way that held no hint of braggadacio. After a few minutes’ consideration, Grayson said. “1 have decided to give you a chance. You will start on fifty-five dollars a month, and if 1 feel that you are improving 1 will raise your salary. I will expect you to start today.” “Certainly, sir.” she said, taking off her hat and coat, and holding her notebook and pen in hand, ready for dictation. All right, begin: Messrs. Bradford and Lane, Broadway”— And at five o’clock that afternoon, after his new stenographer had left. Grayson was secretly blessing North High School for putting out such competent office help, and applauding himself for his luck in having employed one. 163 T TE are naturally pleased to have the work in our department appreciated in the local press. When the commercial students have reached the second and third term in the senior year, they are especially encouraged to read the papers, magazines. and recent hooks on national and social problems.

A few—a very few—of the names are divided, and in not more than tour cases, another word or two comes in between the separated syllables of the name. Some of the teachers mentioned are not in school now. hut you all remember them. , On The Avenue T WAS walking along a beautiful street which, I believe, is known as Blaisdell Avenue, near the outskirts of the city, listening to the songs of the robins and watching a solitary shepherd as he cared for his herd. It was a wonderful day, and as I was a good walker, I felt no inclination to sit down and read mv McClure’s or Leslie I had brought along for that purpose; rather he chose to dream of babbling brooks and the little birds about me. For a moment the roar of a passing street car disturbed my dreams, but it was gone again. Alas. I could not return to my dreams. Disturbing thoughts rankled in my brain—throughts I had meant to leave behind me in Minneapolis. Once more I reviewed that scene that had left so much bitterness in me. Oh. if only I hadn’t seen Henry talking to Francis there in Donaldson’s. I questioned myself bitterly; Can a man love two girls at the same time? Perhaps— I grew more hopeful—the meeting had been accidental. 1 almost wished I hadn’t accepted Dave’s invitation to the Prom. Dave is a nice lad. but I willingly grant that Henry outshines him any day. though sometimes 1 prefer William’s aristocratic nose to either Henry’s or Dave’s. 1 thought again of Francis. She is beautiful ; her hair is like spun gold. At that moment, one of the city bands came down the avenue playing a martial air that I soon recognized as the famous tune commemorating Sherman’s march to the sea. I followed the band a way. It was worth following. Some have said it is the best band in the country. And then New Yorkers have the nerve to say that the people this side of Chicago are barbarians. Horace Greely was certainly right when he said, “Go west, young man.” I stopped at a tiny store and bought some grab bags. I am very fond of candy —especially in grab bags, probably for the reason that 1 love secrets. No matter how many sacks there be in stock. I buy them all. Near the small village, my destination. 1 met a smith riding a seedy cob that was covered with clay. “She runs into a slough.” he informed me. referring to the horse, an’ neither me or any man could stop her, so I let’s her wade right through.” I smiled at him and went on. I now had entirely forgotten my early morning intention of visiting my parents’ graves. No wonder I was happy. At last 1 reached the hall. The miller, who was also a burgess in the village, was baking little brown cakes on the hobs in the fireplace. Simultaneously, he was fussing around the water works at one side of the room. “Just gaze into this sink.” he exclaimed in deep despair, but 1 only laughed and went on through one of the gates at the other end of the room.
