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. Tlu Editors.
