nft THE POLARIS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOP CLASSES OF NOPTH HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. VOLUME XI LULLABY CREEK, Gknwood Park. Courtesy of The Minneapolis Journal. TO THE MEMORY OF MINNESOTA'S NOBLE EDUCATOR, MARIA SANFORD, WE THE CLASS OF 1920, DEDICATE OUR ANNUAL... Miss Sanford's Apostrophe to Flag XJTAIL, thou flag of our fathers, flag of the free! With pride ■ and loyalty and love we greet thee, and promise to cherish thee forever. How wonderful has been they onward progress of conquest through the years; how marvelous the triumph of they followers over the vicissitudes of fortune that meet thee on their way. Daring men have revelently placed thee on the highest crag of the frozen North, and have as revelently stationed thee on the cloud-swept wastes of the far-off frozen South. They have followed thee in willing service over the wastes of every ocean and into the depths of the impenetrable blue “Press on, press on, glorious banner, bearing this message to all the peoples: “Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee; Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears; Our faith triumphant o’er our fears, Are all with thee; are all with thee.” WALDO W. HOBBS. Principal Foreword The highest commendation is due the classes of the school year of 1919-1920 and special congratulations should Ik expressed to the editors and all connected with this volume, the history of the North High School for this school year. There can be no doubt but that all who read or hear of this annual will be proud of North High and of the fact that the central theme emphasized is one of which all good citizens hope may l e fostered and lead to the greatest good not only of the present student body but through them reach out and set a high standard for all who may come within the range of their influence. Real Americanism and true citizenship arc ideals worthy of respect by any group or jjcople and especially the graduating classes of this school year. The greatest achievement toward true Americanism and citizenship have all been for the uplift of humanity in an unselfish way and not for local, state or national advantages regardless of others’ interests. If the graduates of this class exemplify in their lives these well known principles, our citizenship is secure. May we not only be personally true but strive to multiply our influence many times in our association with all whom we meet. This is what our school life with its many advantages so liberally bestowed and supported by the State expects of us. I am confident this Annual will ever be treasured for its ideals, its literary and artistic merit. To all members of this class, the faculty, jfrincipal, alumni and all North Side citizens, extend their best wishes for the future. Greeting The Senior Class of the North High School publish the Polaris Annual as the complete history of the school year. They leave it as a reminder of the undertakings and achievements, not of themselves alone, but of the whole school. They wish it to be a memorial and a reminder for those who follow them that the Senior classes of 1919 and 1920 have had their jxart in making North what she is. We leave this book with the knowledge that this has l een a great year in the history of North High and with the hope that next year will be an even better one. -fFhe making of a Polaris is a co-operative affair. Without the wholehearted assistance of the school it must fail. So. for whatever merit this book may have, we are indebted to the faculty and the students themselves. We take this opportunity to thank them. 7 The Editors. marnm. )mmz—i JANUARY POLARIS ANNUAL BOARD. II. Lee, K. bKcrquiit, L. Brown, T. Jervan, C. Dahl, M. Strom, M. Oakey, M, Parsons, V. Davis, J.

Its memories forever arc impressed. (iood old North High, for you we e'er shall cheer, I lave bosh regards forever hold the best.

Many of them have no knowledge even of the English language itself. This applies to many of the native horn as well as to many foreigners for a great many native born, because of some prejudiced ideas, do not care to go deeply into the underlying principles of the nation. One means of educating our foreigners to American principles is the establishment of night schools, but something bigger needs to be done which cannot be accomplished without the co-operation of each one of us. It is up to every American citizen to do his bit to make a friend of some foreigner and inspire in him a love for the country to which he came because of his love of liberty. We must go about it in a kind way because it is human nature to heed the kind person and shun the unkind. If a person has any desire to obtain a knowledge of his country, he will grasp the opportunity when approached gently. If this method cannot reach him. force MUST be used. It is only as loyalty and love for the United States is instilled in the hearts of the American people that America can retain its position as one of the leading nations of the world. Leota Kohl, Dec.. ’20. Americanization Americanization is a problem that must l e faced by every true American citizen. To be an American, one must center all his hopes and ambitions in the rise and development of America. He must put American principles and ideals before those of any nation. He must believe from his heart, that America is right. Therefore, if we want to retain the name of America, we must live up to it. In the United States we have all races and creeds. Shall we. because some person’s creed differs from ours, disown him? Xo! we will show American spirit by overlooking creed prejudices and be broad and fair minded. We, in America, know what it is to Ik free, yet we cannot realize what we would do if we were not. Having never felt the iron chains of tyranny, we forget there are such things. The problem of Americanization has been solved in part by libraries, night schools, lectures, newspapers, and magazines. The rest of the problem could be easily solved bv the American people. When foreigners come to our shores, we should try to help them enjoy the rights that we as Americans possess. We must try to show them how wonderful America is. And. in doing so, we must not grow impatient at the slowness with which they take on our customs. Hut rather, the rapidity with which they upset their old small ideas, that have been instilled into them for so many generations, and take up our ideas. Marie McGrath, ’20. 62 :m ot:Risc 63 irasyffl------1 r ipotta.ki sc Community Singing An Aid to Americanization While I was visiting a friend in one of the sections of an eastern city where Americanization is quite backward and where the people still cling to their foreign ideas, 1 learned a new method used to encourage Americanization. A nation wide campaign has been launched to break up these communities and induce the people to become interested in government affairs. Community singing is being used in the larger cities to interest the people in the language and history of our nation. A band, together with a music leader, is sent by the city to these sections and on certain nights of the week they have singing. Children and older folks all take part, and you would be surprised to sec the interest taken by these people. Ever) evening there is a larger crowd and they sure do sing. Singing is also used bv the large steel factories and department stores for keeping the employes alive and awake to the spirit of patriotism. At a certain time each day they gather in the auditorium or in the street in front of the factory and have a Community sing. After one of these meetings at a steel factory in the east, fifty men took out their first naturalization papers. Walter Anderson. AN AMERICAN He was only a dirty Italian ; I Ie was only the down-trodden of fate. He had wandered thru life seeking vengeance, But once he left behind him his hate. I le had knocked at the sacred portal: He had entered thru Liberty's gate; He longed for a chance to do the right. To call some good fellow mate.” He was only a black ol’ dago,” He is-------an American. When Democracy entered the race with the Hun And Old Glory proudly guided her thru. His stalwart son quickly shouldered a gun. And with great might defended her blue; With the blood of his boy the banner was stain’d: His life added valor to hue. The old man watched it in victory exult And swore that he’d ever be true. He was only a homeless Italian. He is -------- an American. Dorothy Swanson. 21. 64 I-----JtggfflE MU ]f msc----1 Patriotism in the School A flash of color—a blaze of music—a loud hurrah commonly passes for patriotism. However, these are the sentimental manifestations, but real red-blooded Americanism is deeper. It is the soul of love of a people for their country. Yet in many citizens this love does not exist, because, they have not the greater understanding of the things America stands for. The school is, in my estimation, the one place where Americanism should be developed, where all the forces of learning can be combined with the ideas and ideals of the student until the true love of country can be developed and established. Why wait until they are radicals and then begin to reform them; why not do it while tiles ? tendencies are in the bud? Turn their inclinations into the greater American patriotism before, not after, they leave school. Wm. Kietzke. THOUGHTS Some folks, I guess, think 1 never do nothin’ But play, and work Out in the hay. But I know better. Sometimes when I’m all stretched out In the nice warm hay At noon, just restin’ 1 have some o’ the queerest tho'ts— I can’t explain ’em. But lots o’ times I think about the funny things of this old world. ’Bout Jack—he’s got an awful lot o’ folks And me—I haven’t any, ’Cept Joe. (He’s my dog). An then—D’you know it's mighty queer ’Bout thots, An’ folks, an such? ’Bout how the things we love so much Kind of often go away and leave us. Still. I’ve got an awful comfortable feelin’ That makes me jest stop worryin about Folks and all— ’Cause sump’n in me kinda knows That God takes keer’v us all— Even of me— Me an’ my pal Joe.

Scattered around me are junior cards, sophomore cards, and even freshman cards. Of course, I am the most important one, of them all—for I am the senior card. I make then) all understand that. However, confidentially, I happened to see the marks on that battered freshman card over there, and really. I must confess they far surpass the marks on me. It really made me feel very badly. althotigh, of course, it isn’t my fault. My owner blames it on the teachers, while the teachers seem to consider it entirely the fault of my owner. Anyway, they are there. Hut by holding aloof front these other cards I manage to keep the marks hidden (two of them are actually fails) and so maintain my superiority. It is really a relief to have a rest like this, though. I have had a most exciting year. I know I show signs of the strain. My dear, a year ago, had not a wrinkle on my face. and I felt so fresh and white! Now look at me! That last torn place is where my owner jabbed her pencil through her last English mark. Ah me! I have indeed bad a most strenuous time. This darkness and quiet must he meant to constitute the heaven of a report card. Marian McMunn. 20. TO VIRGIL () history of the fates of Rome, O Virgil, since that name I love, Thou art a never ending j oem, Spurring the idle to thoughts above. From the senseless recreations Thou dost call our wandering minds. Ihppv will be the day so bright And joyous he our tortured selves When Virgil slips from out our sight. And rests with classics on the shelves. Then we in blissful dreams untold Will spread our fledgeling wings so Inild And, using all the power you gave us, Will outstrip our seers of old. Katiifjuna Horen, '20. 68 “What’s In A Name?” “Sav, lkey! cried Tom, “got sonic news for you.” “Hello, Toni,” greeted the other, “what’s the news?” “Well, you know Snyder’s house next door to ours is sold, and Mr. Snyder told me there’s a kid aUmt our age going to move in. I asked what his name was, and mindja. it’s Archibald. Now can you heat that? A regular sissy boy moving into our midst.” Huh! lie’ll never have a chance with our gang,” said I key, hands in his pockets and head thrust back with an altogether arrogant air. “If he’s anything like his name suggests, I pity him,” came from the other. Just then another boy was seen com ing down the avenue. I key and Tom put their fingers to their mouths and gave a shrill whistle, then, l eckoning to him, ran to meet him and told him the news. “Well, you can’t always judge by the name,” replied Ted, for such was the new-comer’s name. “I remember when I first came to this town, you called me a sissy, just cause my name was Theodore.” “Yes, hut you’re a regular guy. This kid’s name just seems to give me a hunch that he’s a sissy,” answered Tom “The only thing to do is to wait and see what lie's like 1 guess. loot’s go play a game of ball,” suggested lkey. Two days later a moving van stop| cd in front of Snyder’s vacant house and from behind Tom’s back porch. six pairs of zealous eyes watched the proceedings. All day they watched, off and on. to get a glance of sissy as they continued to call him. Another day passed, and still they did not see him. The next day as they were walking to school, discussing “Archy,” they saw a strange looking figure ahead of them. He wore a shabby cap, which looked much too small for him. an old red jersey, knee trousers, very holey stockings, and heavy black shoes with copper toes. He had a stub of an old cigar in his mouth, and, to all appearances, seemed a rather “desjieratc” character. The l oys passed him with glances of disfavor, for. though this “gang of which Jkey was the leader, considered themselves a really “tough gang, they managed to keep themselves looking half-way decent. And as for smoking, it was all right in their dugout, but not for the street where the public could see and judge. 69 VIMi i sc The next day was Saturday, and as usual the hoys met at nine-thirty for a good game of baseball. At twelve o’clock, as the whistle blew, a car drove up in front of Snyder’s house, and a man. a woman, and a small boy of about twelve years, stepped out. “Oh look, cried Tom, “there’s sissy now. Will you look at the stiff collar on him and ever’thing. Some dude, I'll say.” “Maybe a nice kid,” said l ed. with a precarious glance at the other boys. “No, sir. I’ll bet you two bits lie’s a regular girl boy,” replied Ikey, who was a good one at tampering with other people’s affairs, especially if he thought the other was going to lie a topic of discussion in his gang. “We’ll sec,” said Tom. “I think it’s your duty, as our leader, Ikey, to go over and find out what kind of a kid he is.” “All right, so long as you insist, I’ll go; but if there’s a funeral tomorrow, you’ll know lie’s a downright ‘goody.’ Fare thee well.” Each one gave him “excellent” advice, and at last Ikey marched off with his very toughest walk. This was a very serious mission to hazard by himself, for at heart Ikey wasn’t as brave as he pretended to be. Reaching Snyder’s house, he knocked loudly, his heart beating fast; and with a very hard effort, he thrust his hands into his trousers’ pockets, and made a difficult endeavor to whistle; but, much to his dismay, he found that a verv poor imitation of a whistle came from the region of his mouth. The door was finally opened and a mussy haired head was thrust out. then— “Hello, can—er, can you come out?” for who should be in the doorway but the rough looking l oy whom the gang had passed on the way to school. “I don’t know,” replied the other, “you boys don’t look good to me.” “Say, what’s your name?” half shouted Ikey, “you’re not Archibald are you?” “I'm the same,” answered the boy proudly, “anything I can do for you?” “No, I guess not today.” replied Ikey. “So long.” “Say, you big stiffs, he’s a real kid; hut he don’t like our gang so we’ll have to change our looks or something cause we sure need him to finish our bunch.” “Is that the same kid that came in the car?” questioned Tom. “Sure,” replied Ikey, “just changed his clothes.” “Gee. who’d a thought it.” exclaimed Tom, “but it’s just as I said, what’s in a name ?” 70 Geraldine Downing, ’21.

And who cares for the town, when one can sit on the beach, and look out over the huge, blue bay, and the yellow scimitar that curves before it. I loved it when its great face was freckled with the fishing boats, and I loved it when the big sail-boats went past, far out, a little hillock of white and no hull, with topsails curved like a bodice, so stately and demure. Hut most of all I loved it when no trace of man marred the majesty of Nature, and when the sun-bursts slanted down on it from between the drifting rain-clouds. Then I have seen the farther edge draped in the gauze of the driving rain, with its thin grey shading under the slow clouds, while my headland was golden, and the sun gleamed upon the breakers and struck deep through the green waves beyond, showing up the purple patches where the beds of seaweed in a lake are lying. Such a sight as this in the early morning. may make a person afresh to the drab weariness of practice. Frances Blocker. RADICALS I’m awful scared of Radicals, As scared as I can be. And everything that's colored Red, Is Radical to me. One day about a week ago, We all went out of town, I saw the awfulest looking thing, Jes’ struttin up and down. ’Twas only a turkey gobbler. So my grandma said. I thought it was a Radical— Its head was awful red. Edna C. Klausman, ’22. THE ATHLETE A soldier must Ik? a good sportsman; so must an athlete, hence an athlete must Ik a soldier. An athlete is a typical soldier with undying courage. An athlete carries himself erect, and faces his opponents in the game with the spunk to win. So with the soldiers in the World’s War. and they won. Nevertheless, an athlete must accept defeat: say nothing. In accepting or gaining a victory he must feel that he has accomplished something. Many athletes, besides feeling that they have accomplished something become conceited on receiving honors. Does a soldier? No! So let it l e with North High men. Charles Wood, '20. 72 imm. 3EOIQ5 R I K lieh! heh! The morning after the ' 6ee, snow ‘neverl-hing Them was the good ol days Chums Summer and S more What’s the joke? Happy ?

And it’s with him day after day. When things grow dark he doesn’t kick. But tries to see the joke; And is always inventing many ways Of helping all good folk. He sees hut good in everyone. And faults he never mentions; i He carries a lot of confidence In people’s good intentions. You soon forget your ailments. When up and around this man; He.can cure vour case of “In Flu.” Quicker than any doctor can. It matters not if the sky is gray; Just get his point of view. Bing! the clouds begin to scatter. And the sun comes popping through. Oh. you’ll know him when you meet him. And you’ll find it worth your while; To cultivate the friendship of The “Man Behind the Smile.” Leonard Thompson, Class of June, 1921. “MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING” A number of things happened in quick succession. A ball shot over the table, tipping the lamp over. The cord was pulled from the socket and the room enveloped in darkness. Another ball sped between my legs, knocking me over. Such a scuffling and running about! Chairs were tipped over, a table tilted perilously, and I heard a large vase fall to the floor with a sickening crash. Now the scuffling was upstairs. I hurried there in time to see something fly through the hall with something else after it. The pursued jumped onto the bureau, the pursuer close after, they l oth jumped onto the bed. The window was 0| en; the pursued jumped out. By that time I had lighted the lights. Mv dog was stretching out of the window, yipping as loud as she could. Outdoors a j oor bedraggled cat was painfully wending her way home. Harriet Jepson, ’22. 74 i----Jiaernr ]R508ORKKK=Z: THE CALL OF THE NIGHT Sometimes in the dusky twilight As you drift along the water Hushed in all its dreamy fragrance Softly breathes the drowsy earthland; Soothing balm for soul and body In the sifting of the pine wind; Healing magic for the spirit In the lapping of the water. As you listen to the night sounds, To the sighing of the marsh land. Conies a question floating downward Like a feather from the heavens; Filling all the heart with longing Like the calling of the Northland. “Why should mankind lust and struggle After gold which makes man selfish; Which makes man to fight his brother. Gold that cannot make man happy? Better far to study nature. Seeking out her woodland secrets; Find real joy and peace in living, Seeking constantly for truth. Roc.kk Loucks, 20. ON LIFE When I consider how my days are spent While I remain in this fair school, my pride. With no expression of my thoughts denied. What I have learned and to what extent My learning will advance me toward my natural bent, I realize then that life’s a game at l est Whenever played in North, hLast. South or West. That honest work and effort can prevent Disaster, ruin, hardship, and the rest That go to make all life’s discouragement. By steady work, and healthful exercise, By might, by right, by faith, by courage bent. May Man attain what was his youth's intent. By these alone may he to heights arise. W. Clair Middleton, June ’20. 75 REFLECTIONS cizjmnm:s£ We sat aside in English class, And teacher’s frowns came thick and fast When I just had to smile. He made me laugh against my will. And for his tricks I blame him still. That boy across the aisle. My history in that class was sad. Each day, that boy got me “in had And. though I frowned the while. To make me laugh no chance he missed: ’Twas of no use—who could resist That boy across the aisle? Some day, no 1k v will be around To make the teacher scold and frown. To tease and make me smile. I surely should be glad of this. And yet—who knows—perhaps I’ll miss That boy across the aisle. Louise C. Senwandt, ’20. MOTHER How does it seem to be lonesome for Mother? Is it different being lonesome for anyone other? I have been lonesome, yes. “lonesome and blue,”— Could it be for the Mother that I never knew? How would it seem to me had I a Mother,— One I could talk to as to none other? When I’m discouraged and life seems most weary Could a Mother’s love make me feel kindly and cheery? How would it seem when hard looks the road,— When “deep ruts” and “chasms” seem ill to forebode. When ambition dies down and life seems not worth while,— How, then, would it seem, a Mother’s sweet smile? I am sure there is nothing could Ik quite so sweet As to open one’s heart—a Mother to meet. But for me that’s a joy to be filled by another And, oh, how I long for the love of a mother. W. A. ‘20 76 78 THE FACULTY i----awaamr r.Ol.AR i k—□ F. W. Gates, (ion. Mgr.

Senior Literary Society “A House Divided Against Itself Shall Not Stand. For once the old adage has proved a bugaboo. The new plan of organization of the Literary Society, begun last year, has continued with marked success. At the first meeting of the Senior Society, the following officers were elected, Fritz Lund, president; Alice Bartel, vice president; Robert Burns, secretary; Helen Acker, treasurer; Roger Loucks, sergeant-at-arms. The December graduation left the vice presidency open and Helen Russell was chosen to fill its vacancy. Lora Davidson and Marjory Strom have planned the programs and Alice Jacobson has had charge of the membership committees. The Senior Literary Society is a potential force in the activities of this school. Those who are in anyway connected with it feel that it is an essential part of their school life. Its members, working as a unit, are all striving for the same thing, an appreciation of the best that the world produces in literature. It has been a joy and pleasure in attending the meetings of the society the j ast year to sec the unusual ability of some of our fellow classmates, which previously we had not had the privilege of enjoying. The members when called on to take part in any program have done so with a cheerfulness and readiness which is certainh encouraging. There is a spirit prevailing in the society of unselfishness, a desire to be of some help to our fellowmen. And with its large membership and the standard of scholarship, such as it is, surely the society is fast reaching its goal of success. 81 XMHDK SENIOR GIRLS' LEAGUE OFFICERS. Elsie Hale, Bernice Lonrrgan, Viola Davis, Charlotte Erhardt. JUNIOR GIRLS LEAGUE OFFICERS. Frieda Arneson, Margaret Rutledge, Frances Topping, Helen Wahl. The Girls’ League The Girls’ League this year was divided into two groups, the Senior and Junior. This was in order that more girls might develop individual leadership. Miss Leet, with the help of several women of the faculty, advises both groups. It was found that the two leagues were too large for each individual girl to do work that would be a benefit to herself and to her school. Therefore each 82 (zzzaisHor mo ICA R :!$£=□ league was divided into four groups. Each girl could choose the group which she thought would he most beneficial to her. The first group was the Athletic group. This included all girls who were working for numerals and who really liked athletics. The second group was dramatic work. All girls who were especially interested in dramatics and who would study and assist in the presentation of plays were urged to join. Then there was a social service group, that was to include all girls who are ready and willing to use their time and tlaent for the general welfare of the school. There were four committees: the Social Committee, Entertainment, and a House Committee. Lastly, there was a ’Philanthropic Committee which had charge of all philanthropic work such as. furnishing amusing programs for the aged, the sick, and for the orphan children in various city institutions. Throughout the year various interesting talks to girls have been given by noted speakers. A very’ beneficial program called “Goop Week was carried out in the first quarter of the year. Several large parties were given which were enjoyed by all. The officers for the past year have been as follows: Senior League: President. Charlotte Erhardt. Vice President, Elsie Hale Secretary, Bernice I onergan Treasurer. Viola Davis Junior League: President. Helen Wahl Vice President, Frances Topping Secretary, Frieda Aronson Treasurer. Margaret Rutledge Junior Literary Society News During the past year the purpose of the Junior Literary Society has been to cultivate in its members the desire to present original compositions as well as those of standard authors. Perhaps the most noteworthy original compositions have been “Betty’s Problem.” by Dorothy Galbraith, and “A Surprise From France,” by Marie Fortin. The members of the society believe that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. so the social events that will not soon be forgotten are a party given in the library the first of the year, and a sleighride enjoyed late in January. The officers of the Society arc elected twice yearly; in September, and in March. President ...........................Toms Mandelstam Vice President ...........................Max Benjamin Secretary ........................................Minnie Segal Treasurer ......................................Melville Eaton Assistant Treasurer.........................Lucy Ritchie Faculty Adviser.............................Miss Carson 83 JHBQCKOIGSC The Garden Army The ennobling sentiment of William Cullen Bryant’s wonderful lines— “To him who in the love of nature, holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language..................” seems to have been somewhat shared by the Garden Army when it began to plan for the renewal of its work in early March. The work of the National troops is finished; but year after year the soldiers of the soil must begin their campaign. Their aim is to produce food and that will ever be an important task. In the early spring of 1919 the armv was re-organized under the efficient supervision of Mrs. Hicks of the Botany Department. A number of students answered the call for recruits and those working for credit met twice a week until the end of the semester and once a week thereafter while the crops were growing. The course included a study of the preparation of the soil, seeding, cultivation. fighting insect j ests, the rotation of crops, successive cropping, harvesting. canning and putting the ground in condition for the next year. Kach member had a garden no smaller than two square rods and many had several gardens, covering a much greater area. There were two hundred twenty of such gardens each of which was visited several times during the summer by Mrs. Micks. The school garden also was cared for by members of the Army which gave them the opportunity of seeing many valuable demonstrations on plant cultivation. At every weekly meeting a certain type of vegetable, raised by the members. was exhibited and made the subject of especial study. It was the privilege of every member to bring a specimen of his own produce to each meeting and have his questions concerning it answered and to get advice concerning the growing from the supervisor. Besides these weekly exhibits the members displayed their vegetable, fruits and canned goods at the All City High School Contest and many won prizes But their experiences have not only meant prizes but also interesting study, healthful, productive work so that every member felt repaid and rewarded for the time spent in the study. The Garden Army, knowing from its own experience, assures you there is no more attractive prospect than tilling the soil. The refreshing air strengthens you; the work affords you the needed exercise and the result of the labor brings you food. What other employment will pay you so well in bodily health and material wealth? And knowing this we cannot help but fully agree with Bacon's statement: “God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the greatest of human pleasures.” Nina Draxten. 84 no CM POLARIS SALESMEN. I jmnmm irggpi-----1 Scandinavian Society The Scandinavian Society was organized in April of this year under the direction of Miss Farseth and Miss Norman. The membership which is limited to students of the Norse and Swedish languages, went over the hundred mark at the first meeting. The object of the club is to promote social fellowship between the two departments; to study Scandinavian music, art and literature; and to imbibe the culture of the Scandinavian countries. By familiarizing the Americans with the customs, the conditions, the history and the literature of the Scandinavian peoples and by infusing the best of the Scandinavian culture into the composite civilization of America, the organization believes it will make for better American citizenship and America will profit materially. At the first meeting of the society, Wednesday afternoon, April 14, Dr. M. A. Bellows, Managing Editor of “The Northwestern Miller” and formerly Vice President and Managing Editor of “The Bellman,” addressed the club and its guests on “The Beginnings of English Literature.” The following officers were elected and committees appointed for the remainder of the school year: President—Julian Sletten. Vice President—Edgar Nyholm Treasurer—Alfred Clague Secretary—Evelyn Dahl Sergeant at Arms—Walter Anderson The Viking Club The Viking Club is a new organization at North High. The membership is open to anyone interested in the Norsemen and their achievements. The aim of the club is to give its members a true and genuine appreciation of Norse art, culture and literature, but especially the literature which owes nothing to either the Hebrew or Roman Civilizations. This literature, which is independent of the others, is like a primeval forest of a thousand years growth, and as we would preserve such a forest so should we also preserve our racial heritage through its literature. America, the great human melting | ot of all races and nations demands the liest from these people who have cofne to her shores. In order to give our country our very best, we should acquaint ourselves with the work of the north men who have enriched European thought today as they enriched European blood centuries ago. Therefore, we should preserve our racial heritage and not choke such a prominent element in the dormant genius of coming America. The Viking Club meets once a month. The membership dues are ten cents a month. The proceeds are to be spent for library supplies. The officers for the past term have been: Irene Juell, president; Helen Handberg, vice presi- dent; Ingcbor Stokke, secretary; Mabel Balstad, treasurer, and Cyrus Osterluis, sergeant-at-arms. The Viking Club is under the faithful and efficient supervision of Miss Pauline Farseth. 86 SCANDINAVIAN SOCIETY. IP. 01: A B I K VIKING CLUB. K. M eland, A. Osterhoos, C. Osterhoos, I. Chriss, B.

The Silver Medal Contest The Sigwald Quale Memorial Contests were instituted a few years ago by Mrs. Quale of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in memory of her son. These contests are given every year at the different high schools, colleges, and universities where Norse is taught. The plan has been a success for it has been found that great interest is taken in these contests. One hundred thirty contests have been held in the Middle West. Washington and Canada. All silver medal winners arc entitled to enter the gold medal contest. The South High School of Minneapolis usually entertains the final gold medal contest. This year, however, the final contestants met at St. Olaf College. Northfield, Minnesota. Lloyd Peterson and Mathilda Krefting tied for the first for the high school prize. Mabel Halstad received third in the final interscholastic contest. Einar Anderson the fourth winner, was unable to attend because of illness. He will represent North High School next year. 'Hie contestants have put forth great effort to do their best. The persistent effort and diligent work of our leader. Miss Pauline Farseth is greatly appreciated. 89 10DKSHHCSC ]C9’2-XE=ZD POLARIS MONTHLY STAFF. J. Buttles, A. Anderson, L. Ccdarbladc, L. Bucklin, M. (Jreenberg, E. Mason. K.

If we have failed in some respects during the past year, we have succeeded in others and if we have missed our mark or mistaken our purpose, we are compensated in knowing that our failure has been due to inexperience rather than lack of friendly support or helpful assistance. Especially are we grateful for the contributors who have aided in tilling these pages and who in that manner have ranked themselves among the entertainers and instructors of this school—nor can we forget the art department, the lunch committee or the various other individuals and groups who have especially been of assistance to us in our work.

The three finally chosen were Helen Acker. Reuben I.erner. and Neil Morton, Captain. The first debate of the season was scheduled with Howard Lake. The debate squad was organized into three groups, all of which worked with the team. Practice debates were held with the three groups in succession. Much of the success of North’s team was due to the experience gained by these preliminary debates. 'Pile three squad teams were composed of Dorothy Davis. Bernice Lonergan, and Sam Weinstein ; Anna Theiss, Alice Klagstad, and Cora Carlson ; Avner Racov, Arthur Anderson, and Harold Hoben. When the 1 loward Lake debate came off. there was great enthusiasm and real support from the student body. North won a unanimous decision. The first inter-district debate was with Cloquet. The Cloquet team came to Minneapolis for the debate North won a two to one decision, after a keenly contested fight. In the following league debate North drew the bye. Duluth Central challenged North High to debate on the same question. The challenge was accepted. North chose two teams, affirmative and negative. Her affirmative team went to Duluth and met the Duluth negative team there. Neil Morton. Arthur Anderson, and Sam Weinstein made up the team.. However Duluth won a two to one decision. The girls’ negative team which met Duluth here was conqjosed of Helen Acker. Dorothy Davis, and Cora Carlson. North won a two to one decision, thereby establishing the much disputed fact that girls can become real debaters. The semi-final league debate is scheduled with Sauk Center. The winner will debate John Johnson of St. Paul for the state championship. The outcome of these debates is as yet unknown. The following debaters received debate pins: Reuben Lerner, Helen Acker, Neil Morton, Sam Weinstein, Arthur Anderson, Cora Carlson, and Dorothy Davis. Neil Morton was awarded the school letter. The North High Band The North High Band this year has a greater number of players than last year. The band has shown great service to North High by playing at the ball games. It was organized under the new leadership of Mr. Leslie. A president and vice president were elected with Clarence I'glum as president and Walter Devoracek as vice president. Several new instruments have been purchased this year. 94 GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB. mm mmfjam i----Jigger im ocr rsc “Girls’ Glee Club” With the ending of this school term the “Girls' Glee Club ’ closes a very successful year. The club organized and set to work at the beginning of the year and has produced many line results. Under the leadership of our musical director. Mr. Roy T. Tenney, we have been able to give many interesting and beneficial programs. You must all remember the flushing Maidens in “Pinafore” which I am sure you enjoyed. We sang at Foss M. E. church and at the opening of the “Business Woman’s Club.” We gave a very interesting program in auditorium period which was the first appearance of the combined Glee Clubs, this year, outside of “Pinafore.” At the beginning of the fall term we were very much hindered by the continual changes of leaders. Mr. Norton was here for a very short while, when he found it necessary for him to leave. Mr. Williams then took charge of the music, and carried us very successfully through our opera “Pinafore.” After the Opera he also found it necessary to leave. Mr. Tenney now has charge of the music and has taken his place very successfully as our leader. The present officers of the club are: Lora Davidson, President. Margaret Oakev, Secretary. Ruth Williams, Librarian. The Boys ’Glee Club The year 1919-20 was a banner year in the annals of the Boys’ Glee Club in every sense of the word. Never before in the history of the Club, has there been such strenuous comj etition at the tryouts. 'Phis wealth of material was evident in the quality of the work put out by the boys. In the fall semester. Mr. Williams, who was leader of the club, assumed the leadership and its stock progressed to immense proportion. The high light of Mr. Williams’ directorate was the presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s popular comic opera, “H. M. S. Pinafore.” by the joint clubs, in which the boys, for the time, ceased to be students of North High and became jolly mates on the good ship “Pinafore.” In December, Mr. Tenney took up the work where his illustrious predecessor left off. and undaunted by the loss of many excellent voices through graduation, built up a club which compares favorably with any that has ever 97 Q_JB JM8nOS{ turned out at North High. Owing to the club’s extreme popularity, Mr. Tenney was forced to turn down many engagements throughout the city. The Club, however, has sung at Calvary M .K. Church, First Methodist Church. St. Olaf’s Lutheran Church. Business Woman’s Club, opening and Grace M. F. entertainment at William Penn School. The Boys’ Glee Club contemplates a trip through Southern Minnesota the last week of school. The climax was the presentation of “Melusina,” the beautiful cantata, presented by the combined Glee Clubs and the pick of the chorus classes, accompanied by the Orchestra which rendered its part so credibly under the efficient leadership of Mr. Hurd. Mr. Tenney expended much effort in the attempt to make this an event in musical circles and his efforts were well rewarded. In all. the year 1919-20 has been a most memorable one in the history of the Boys’ Glee Club. GIRLS ORCHESTRA. J. Kricson, K. Remind, F. Nelson, Lott MacRcvnoliU, E. Fabian. M. Hanson. E.

Because of the large uuni! er of soloists two separate casts were selected. The senior cast, which consisted of Ruth McCoy, Margaret Catnmon, Ethel Peterson. Arthur Sanzcnback, Horace Van Norman, Edward Schutz, Donald Roberts and Glenn Allen, played the first night, January 14. The junior cast, consisting of I-ora Davidson. Marie Worrell. Cora Lien, Arthur Sanzenbach, Norman Barlinghaug, Howard Weber and Arthur Skjold, played the second night. January 16. A great deal of credit is due to all who were in this opera, as every one worked to the best of his ability, and devoted all his time to the opera. Special credit ought to be given to Mr. Williams, who worked night and day for the success of the opera. Additional credit ought to lie reserved for Miss Taylor, who assisted in the production of the opera, and also to Jeanette Leach, who as our faithful pianist likewise spent a great deal of valuable time. The able support rendered by the Orchestra under Mr. Williams contributed greatly to the success of the performance. RUSSIAN DANCERS. 101 MELUSIXA. FACULTY QUARTET. Mis Msec, Ui Taylor.

Donald Fruen 1920 Kldon Mason Neil Morton Theodore Menzel Donald Fruen The Boys’ “Y” Club is organized to create a spirit of good fellowship among the older boys. The purpose of the club is to create and maintain high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Meetings are held twice a month, once at school when only North l oys get together, and once at the Central Y. M. C. A. when all the joint “Y” clubs meet. A good supper is always served followed by a snappy entertainment after which some prominent speaker addresses the boys on some educational topic. In the intervening weeks, the boys meet in discussion groups. At these meetings the topics discussed relate to their own welfare and the welfare of the school. The club has had a very active year. The weeks of Sept. 1 -7 inclusive, fifteen delegates from each “Y” club in the city camped out at the “Y. M. C. A.” Camp at Chisago city. I lerc they were taught how to be of the greatest service to their fellow men. In November, the club held a banquet for all the city high school football teams. This banquet according to the football men. was a huge success. In December, a minstrel show was given by the club members in the school auditorium to a large appreciative audience. But perhaps the greatest service the club has done for the boys of the school was the Campaign qf Friendship. This campaign was launched so boys who were undecided on what they wished to follow as their vocations could have an interview with some successful business man. I hose who were decided on their vocation had interviews with men who are in that line. In their campaign nearly three hundred boys were interviewed. There had always l een a long felt want in this school for a medium where students could bring their l ooks to l e sold. This year the club established a book room. In this way lx oks can be bought at a decided saving. The present club hopes that next year it may be of greater service, and that it may be looked upon as a body that is striving to do its best to make North High School the finest -school in the Northwest and if possible in the country. 105 Theodore Menzel, ’20.

This club has interested other students for the number of Spanish students is surprisingly increasing each term. If the club continues to arouse the interest it has so far. we feel safe to say that it will not be long l efore Spanish will be the most popular language taught in North High School. There are about sixty members in the club. Anyone taking Spanish is eligible to membership providing he is not deficient in his work. Though the Spanish speaking people are sometimes rather sleepy and lazy, this is not characteristic of the members of this club. We are very alive and we have plenty of “snap” and pep. The meetings are held twice a month. The first meetings were taken up by business matters, but after the schedule for the term was planned some interesting programs have been given by the talented members of the organization. We were fortunate to have Alfred Silverman, an Argentinian, in our department, who has told many interesting things about the South American countries and his adventures in the English army during the war. The officers for the past term have been; Laurence Young, president; Henry Shapleigh, vice president; Harold Klarquist, secretary; Clyde Webber, treasurer. Miss Juanita Day is the class adviser. The Scarlet Pimpernal Troop The Scarlet Pimpernal Troop, under the leadership of Miss Keenan, has been meeting regularly during the school term. In the winter months, we played Santa, helped gladden the New Year of one family, and assisted in the Tea-Kettle Drive. Socially, we had several parties, enjoyed a skate at Lake Harriet, after which a delicious supper was served, and were entertained by the Pussy Willow Troop. The girls now are all enthusiastic over basketball, and have bzen diligently practising for the scheduled games with other troops. Although we all enjoyed the winter activities, we are looking forward to the warm, spring days, when we shall be able to take hikes into the country to pick pussy-willows and flowers, and to have weincr-roasts in the open. We are also planning good times for the summer months, when we shall again visit the log cabin at Orchard Lake and enjoy the pleasures of camping, the companionship of girls, the duties of camp life, the bathing, fishing, the fresh air, that gives one such an appetite, and the opportunities for the study of nature in the surrounding woods. We hope to come back in the fall, ready to renew our former activities, to undertake new things, and to strive for the qualities that make a true Scout. Every loyal American girl should belong to the Girl Scouts. Join this organization. It is the best in the world for the furtherance of clean, honest girlhood. Scout Reporter—M.

I JI9M0I jP OL AR l-SCIZJ “A” Senior Class Party The night of February 20. 1920 was set aside by the A senior class for their class costume party which was held in the girl’s gymnasium. The first part of the evening was spent in admiring the large variety of beautiful costumes worn bv various members of the class. Nearly every foreign country was represented in this gala array of finery. Dancing to the delightful music of Eldrige Garret's Jazz Orchestra, was the chief amusement of the evening. The social committee, consisting of Mae Moren, chairman; Howard Weber. Agnes Kvaase, Clyde W ebber and Katherine t’lis arranged an entertaining program for the intermission. ( tir well liked president, Fritz Lund, began the program by giving us a most hearty welcome. Lyra Tyra of the March class gave a very beautiful and facinating Spanish dance. The senior quartet led by Howard W eber sang a group of highly entertaining songs, but the main attraction of the program was a melodrama sketch put on by Robert S. Hums assisted at the piano by his equally accomplished friend. Neil Morton. The evening was concluded with a grand march which was led by the officers of the class. First in line was Fritz Lund, president, and Helen Russel, secretary. Following in order were Rolf Norman, Sergeant at Arms, and Agnes Kvaase: Robert Hums, Mascot, and Mae Moren. M iss Mann. Mr. Williams. Miss Leet and Mr. and Mrs. Whittet favored us by being our chaperons. To them we owe much of the fun and success of our class party. The senior class extend our most sincere thanks to the faculty for the co-operation they gave 11s in making our party one of the best successes of the school year. The Botany Department If man knew nothing of Botany, he would starve and no longer exist, for it was through this study that man has been able to produce food productively. Without the plants from the Botany Department the Shakespearian plays would Ik- incomplete. The Botany work aims to give the student an appreciative view of nature and to make the student more observing. The Botany department is under the faithful leadership of Miss Elizabeth Foss. It has not only the care of the greenhouse but it has also the work of planting the herbaceous borders and the flower beds in our school yard. The plants for this purpose are grown from seed and from cuttings taken from plants that have been potted last fall from the garden. The greenhouse has been able to provide a greater supply of plants for room decorations than ever before. This is partly due to the fact that we have had a greenhouse practice 109 I IP-TOTAIR'Ii'SC class. Classes this year arc held for two periods and thereby more time can be used for practical work. This spring the Botany department has had a sale of a great many varieties of plants. The new motion picture machine belonging to the school was used for the first time when the film showing Burbank’s home and plant experiment grounds were shown. The Botany Department has many wonderful plants that would be well worth your while to see. It has an enormous rubber plant and long vines that nearly reach the floor. The service the Botany Department has done for North High can lx seen throughout the school. The plants bring happiness to the school rooms that are decorated. They also inspire the students to live a pure life as the life of the innocent plant which appears before them. —M. K. Dramatic Club A growing interest in the study of literature and life through the vivifying lense of oral interpretation has resulted in the organization of a dramatic club at North High. The club is in the nature of a workshop where practical experiment may develop the artistic and dramatic talent of the members and make it of greater value to themselves and to the school. A committee has chosen a play for study and presentation before the close of school and a new committee is at work selecting plays for future study and production. The cast chosen by tryouts from the members suggested by the committee is at work uj on the lines of the play, while other members of the club are occupied with plans for staging and for the making of costumes and properties. Meanwhile, still other members are presenting short programs at the bi-monthly meetings, where the individual interests and abilities of club members can be noted. Modern plays and playwrights, methods of production and dramatic movements are especially to be studied. The club has a membership of thirty-two, at present chiefly seniors and juniors, but membership is oj en to all students who wish to try out for admission. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Harold Klarquist; secretary, Mabel Bartel; treasurer, Fred Made jew ski. 110 SCENES from £hakespe jie E ol Naarb jKni -tAoob J mxrba Homeo Sir Andrew- R-sh;- Sir lbby Thisbe -lyn Apdrg -flbuchstotie Tuck.

Not only has the membership increased, but the military spirit has increased throughout the entire school. In the two years that North High has had military drill the classes have grown from one company of forty members to three classes totaling over one hundred and fifty members. The Cadet officers have increased propor-tionatcly and have shown their ability to instruct their fellow students. Although North did not take first place in the competitive drill held at the Armory last year, our boys took high honors when General Wood spoke in Minneapolis last February. During the latter part of last year the boys were given training in open-order drill. The boys had been instructed in close-order drill in the first part of the year. This year, on account of the number of Cadets who have been graduated from school and the increased number of rookies, the classes have gone back to close-order drill. In Captain Fox, West Point graduate and veteran of the Battle of the Ar-gonne Forest, and Major McWade, U. S. K. veteran of the Spanish-American war, the Cadets have two nun who understand Military Drill from A to Z These men have taught the boys, among other things, to obey their instructors whether in a Military Drill Class or in a class of one of their other subjects. Intensive physical training is given during the first ten minutes of the period devoted to Military Training. This does a great deal for the Cadet. As he drills in the morning it puts energy and vitality into him and knocks the laziness out of the boy. The result of this is that he is more alert mentally and physically and he puts more mental labor and ambition into his work for the rest of the day. On Friday. March 19, individual competitive drill in the manual of arms was held in the auditorium. The winner. Max Greenberg, was presented with a gold medal by the North Side Commercial Club. North High School Cadets hope to take first place in the competitive drill among the different High Schools which will Ik held at the Parade Grounds on May 9. The company coming out as the winner will be the Color Company for the ensuing year. 112 I--1MBM OCR IK--1 la Gletiwood rK 'ftussUtv dancers 113 inunuosc The Park Board The Park Board has again been put on the map of North High. Under the leadership of Edward A. Colp, president, and the secretaries, Mae Moren and Clara Gurtel, we have made much progress. A constitution which was adopted, requests the room teachers to select public spirited and interested pupils who would be suitable members of the Park Board. From these, the room selects two by vote. This year the members have decorated their own rooms for special occasions ; and all the plants in daily use are cared for and brought back to the greenhouse in good condition. Some of the work accomplished by the Park Board includes the decorations of auditorium and corridors for special occasions such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Memorial Day. At Christmas, six spruce trees were employed as hall decorations; and the Art Department made the Christmas cards which adorned them; and the members of the Park Board decorated them and the individual rooms as well. Room 347 (Miss Konig’s room) received first prize for room decorations and II room, with Lynn Smeby, received honorable mention. We acted as aids to Miss Stewart in putting health week across. Some of the health grants used will proluibly be remembered a long time, for example: Eat slowly, Chew thoroughly. Drink more water between meals, And Smile! Smile! Smile! April 9 was the date of the Annual Banquet. The lunch room was decorated with trees and shrubs. Committees in charge were headed by Dorothy Rcnslow, Milton Jovcs and Hazel Dahlin. Kdward Colp was toastmaster. And to their excellent work was due much of' the success of the occasion. The Hawaiian garlands were worn by each guest and Hawaiian songs were sung and Hawaiian airs played during the evening. After the program, we adjourned to the girl’s gymnasium for dancing. This was the time for electing the new president, Arthur Christenson. Richard Custer was elected business manager. The Arbor Day exercises were in charge of the Park Board. Edward A. Colp, ’20. Girls’ Athletics The girls’ athletic records at North High have been climbing all year, and are still going up under the able direction of Mrs. Beckman and Miss Wiley. For the last two years the girls have been working for points and honors in sjK rts. They have a point system which is used in the Girls’ Athletic Association in all Minneapolis High Schools. It is one that means a great deal of hard earnest effort in sports. The goal is 700 points, and the symbol of its attainment is a monogram to signify the highest honor in girls’ sj orts. 114 Honors may be earned in various activities and tournaments including volley ball, indoor baseball, track, swimming, tennis, hiking and skating. The requirements are so strict that the numerals and monograms denote real honor. Several girls expect to get the required number of |H ints before June. They can be proud of the honor which they have taken two years of earnest effort to win. The Interclass Volley Ball tournament was won this year by...........? The Indoor Base ball tournament, which was finished in March, was won by the Seniors. The Spring season includes Track, Hiking. Swimming, and Tennis. North High is fortunate to have the use of five fine tennis courts in North Commons, which is just two short blocks away. The girls’ hiking and kodak club is quite a success. The girls hike a distance of six miles each time; the route of the hike is planned by the club. A six-mile hike is easy now for girls who used to look weary at the mention of it. The swimming try out is held in June at the Camden Park Baths. There are a number of good swimmers at North High, so we look forward to the tryout as an event worth seeing. The Spring track meet is held in North Commons Park, the last of May. Girls train for seven weeks, and no one may enter the meet who has not attended two-thirds of the time set for practice. All the activities of the department of Girls’ Physical Education in North High are planned to be broad and varied enough to suit the interest and needs of the greater part of the student body. Girls who spend all their time in study would do well to join in some of the athletic activities. Both the physical and mental condition would be benefited. Since the mind would be clear and alert, the lessons could be learned in less time. Of course it would be hard to accommodate all the girls after school, but there is still room for more girls who would enjoy the fun of sj orts in our after school activities. HIGH SPEED TYPISTS. E.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it? What! Haven’t you heard of it before? Well, then, you’re going to hear of it right now. You have heard of the Business Composition Course, haven't you? When a class gets promoted front Business Comjtosition I. which is business correspondence, it really gets promoted to the Dumore Office Supply Company or Business Composition II. Your next question is “What commodity does this Company deal in?” The Dumore Office Supply Company aims to supply GOOD office service of all kinds. “But what has all this to do with Americanization? you are likely to ask. In the first place, Americanization is more than teaching foreigners to speak English. It is the establishment of the feeling of democracy between people— the feeling that “all men are created equal. This sentiment needs to lie furthered among our own native Americans as well as among foreigners. Here is where the Dumore Office Supply Company comes in. When a class is promoted to Business Composition II. and takes on the name of “The Dumore Office Supply Company,” its first work is to organize an office. The general manager is chosen, and to work with the general manager, there are department managers. There are six departments—the advertising department, the accounting department, the correspondence department, the equipment department, the business management department and the efficiency dejiartment. Each of these departments consists of a manager and usually two or three assistants. There arc three other special officers—the secretary, the librarian, and the office boy. Each officer is chosen according to his special ability or qualifications for the job. The general manager presides over all meetings. The advertising department prepares the cover for the house organ, a book issued once a term, describing the activities of the Company, and does the general advertising, illustrating and lettering work. The accounting department keeps a record of the office practice done by each jierson and prepares the payroll. (Yes, we get paid, and sometimes docked). The correspondence department prepares all special letters necessary for the office. The equipment department compiles illustrative material, and makes write-ups for the files of the office, file efficiency exjiert makes records, in various ways, to show the increase or decrease of the efficiency of the office. The business manager has a general survey over the office and assists the general manager. The secretary makes a record of each meeting, and reads the minutes of the previous meeting, while the work of the librarian and the office l oy is explained by their names. In many classes, the students come in every day and sit down until they are called on to recite. Then they are through for the day. The definite object that the whole class should be working toward may be partially lost sight of. and the feeling of co-operation or of working for the good of others may be 117 imaamm. only secondary. In the Dumore Office, each j erson has the same opportunity as every other person for becoming the general manager, or whatever his ambition may l c. Only by his own work or ability can he attain that object. He associates with the others in work that is for the good of the whole office as well as for his individual good. Although all schools are great factors in Americanization, a class conducted in the way that the Dumore Office Supply Company is conducted cannot help being especially effective in promoting the feeling of working for the good of the many—the feeling of Democracy—of Americanism.

Webber. 118 jP 0 LA.R I SC 1[9:23B=Z: Interscholastic Athletics That physical training is part of a well-rounded scheme of education, no one doubts. We are not the nation of robust and husky men and boys that we thought we were prior to 1917. The figure representing the percentage of young men who were utterly unable to meet the requirements of the draft law is startlingly large. There is. however, considerable opposition to the interscholastic athletic activities which form a part of many systems of physical training. It is true that much of this opposition comes from those who are but meagerly informed with respect to athletics in high schools, but it is likewise true that certain features of these athletics as they are generally conducted are oj cn to criticism on the part of even their most ardent advocates. I have not developed such a degree of self-complacency as permits the conviction that I have found a sjxrcific cure for all the ills connected with athletics in high schools, but I am venturing nevertheless, upon a basis of a limited and modest experience, to bring forward some few questionable points with j ossible remedial measures. In the first place, do high school athletics deserve their low educational rating? The attitude of the average faculty member, which ranges from serene indifference to active hostility, is based upon the belief that athletics unduly consume the time and divert the interest of the student. Their attitude is, of course, amply justified if the assumption is correct that athletics serve no good purpose. If they arc not an aid to the accomplishment of the high aim which is set before every institution of learning, they should lx hewn out root and branch. I l elieve, however, that the field of athletics offers a laboratory in the art of living for which no other feature of the school can be a substitute. We sec on all sides of us fathers who have become successful through surmounting obstacles and swallowing disappointments, educating their sons, but wishing, at the same time, that their sons might have for their own good some obstacles to surmount and some disappointments to swallow. There is one extra-curriculum course in high school where the boy can get up against the real thing, and that is athletics. There are few real conditions in life where the boy gets so close to Mother Earth, or so close to the sons of men, as in the give-and-take of interscholastic athletic contests. There is no lecture-room or laboratory in even the best of our high schools where for either rich or | oor the hard spots of later life arc so nearly duplicated. In the second place, is a championship the only goal toward which an athletic team should strive? W hen athletes and coaches lose sight of the fact that championships, as much as they are to be desired, arc incidentals in the carrying out of athletics and not actual ends of accomplishment, the opponents of athletics will be justified in wishing them abolished. The incentive of vic- 120 I-------- ]p:oi;.a:r ik i tory is perfectly legitimate and should be present. I do not agree with those who hold that the desire for victory is the root of most of our athletic evils. Competition is the spice of athletic life. The game for the game’s sake only would be tame and a less perfect reflection of life without the desire to excel or the will to win. I see no reason why this incentive should be eliminated. It seems not only legitimate but highly desirable. The incentive to victory can involve no dangers, provided the rules of the game arc so made and so construed that what is best for the whole boy and for the whole high school will win in the long run. However, when it comes to pass that the maintenance of a team and the position of its coach depends on the winning of championship, I believe that the athletics are then no longer worth while. I believe that the type of man who should be in charge of high school athletics will, under such circumstances, lose all respect for the work, and leave it. No man should be tolerated as a coach who would not be tolerated in the class-room or lecture-room. The coach certainly has, as a rule, greater authority and influence with the students. In the third place, are the real advantages of athletics to participants properly recognized by the authorities and backers of our educational institutions? I have not infrequently heard considerable stress laid uj on advantages which really are of a secondary nature. The development of strength, endurance and skill of eye and limb could all be secured in less strenuous, less spectacular, and less expensive fashion. I think that it should l e acknowledged that the development of self-control and of good temper, the prevention of physical and moral excesses, the elevation of the moral tone of the entire school are very commonplaces in the existence of athletics. It would be absurd to tolerate the idea that the athletics can even be anything but secondary to scholastic work in a high school. Coaches take greatest delight in working with athletes who are good scholars, and have a deep seated respect for them. The coach with a vital interest in athletics preaches continually to his boys of these athletics serving as a stimulant to better scholastic effort. Our high schools were not created to become athletic clubs. The impulse to do one’s best for one’s school must not be overlooked: to do one’s best because of love for the school, because of a desire to have it successful, and because of a desire to have it deserve and receive the applause of men. This impulse results in hard, clean, manly fighting—not for self, but for a cause. And that is one of the all-important things in life. The American ability to fight for a cause has meant the winning of every war in which this country has participated. General I.eonard Wood openly and heartily endorses interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics. Men trained in them scarcely ever failed to make good soldiers. We should recognize the fact that what we wish in our national life tomorrow must go into our schools today. Martin T. Kennedy. 121 In- In- FOOTBALL TEAM.

Of Coach Jackson’s championship eleven of 1918. only one regular remained, Hiller at center. Three other “N men were available in Ebersburger, Norman, and Levitt. While these men had earned their letters during the previous season, they had not acquired any great amount of experience under lire in big games, and the remainder of the squad was without football training worthy of consideration. Mr. Kennedy was assisted by Mr. Glenn Jackson of the North Y, M. C. A. However, lie, too, was a new arrival in the city, and it was necessary for both to become acquainted with the members of the squad in a personal way before being able to judge them fairly in a football sense. The season opened with Mechanic Arts of St. Paul on the St. Thomas field late in September. The Elite and White was greatly outweighed, and in addition to this fact the three men picked by the coaches to comprise the left side of the line were unable to play. The clash resulted in a scoreless tie, but in view of the circumstances mentioned above it may really be regarded as a moral victory for North. A long run by Mason nearly resulted in a score, and a stonewall defense held the St. Paul team on the one yard line for downs. Strong defensive work marked the Dunwoody game played the following week on North Field. Offensive j ower was lacking, despite a 27-0 score against Coach Swetland’s men. 'flic next game saw Central, destined to be the season’s title holder, take North into camp 13-0. The game was more stubbornly contested than the score would indicate, for from early in the first period until within a few minutes of the final whistle the score was 6-0. At that time a wretched piece of playing by North gave the Red and Blue seven additional points. Early in the game Captain Hiller suffered two fractured ribs, an injury which kept him on the sidelines a greater part of the remainder of the season. Staging a reversal of form in both offensive and defensive work, North defeated St. Paul Central a week later 17-2. Chodos featured the game with a clever goal from placement in the first half and a long run for a touchdown in the second half after intercepting a St. Paul forward pass. The West game was played in a drizzling rain, and resulted in a 6-6 tie. North lost an opj ortunity to win the game on innumerable occasions through lack of punch when underneath W est’s goal posts. Considering that the Green and White made but two first downs as against many lengthy Blue and White processions which included nine completed forward passes, it was probably North’s most disappointing showing of the year. 123 I o FOOTBALL SQUAD. i— JBggmt MOOCR I K n Following this game, the team b?gan to play real football, although it lost to South on South Field 13-6 in the following struggle. The Orange and Black was outplayed for three quarters of the game. North got to the two yard line in the second half where an error in judgment on the part of the officials spoiled a chance to tie the score. Followers of football stated that no team in the high school race displayed as good football at any time as North showed in defeating Fast 20-0 in the final game of the season. The generalship used by Mason in running the team was faultless, and every man who took part in the game performed in a manner which could not be criticised. Young and Dahl featured, the former in receiving North forward passes, and the latter in intercepting those thrown by Fast In spite of the fact that the season cannot Ik regarded as successful as viewed from a strictly football standpoint, it is not to be said that it was a failure. A squad of forty-five cheerful and hardworking players practiced earnestly through the entire season, notwithstanding the reverses with which it met. The spirit of the men never showed the least sign of disintegration, although victory was not always their lot Also the unusually bad weather often made practice a hard grind for days at a stretch. Six letter men return next fall, and indications are that the size of the squad will he record breaking for Blue and White football. Walter K. Hiller. NORTH VS. MECHANICS ARTS, SEPTEMBER 26 North was at a disadvantage in this game being outweighed by their opponents. The St. Paul boys advanced steadily toward our goal. The ball was fumbled, regained bv North and Mason kicked out of danger. Again when the Arts were close to our goal. Mason intercepted a forward pass and made a brilliant run half way down the field. For the rest of the half, the battle raged back and forth in the center of the field. When the second half began Skjold. substituting for Richards, showed up well. At the end of the quarter St. Paul had the ball on North’s two-yard line. During the entreaties of “Hold ’em” from the crowd. North’s team became a stonewall and the ball was kicked out of danger. Score: North, 0; Mechanic Arts, 0. NORTH VS. DUNWOODY AT NORTH. OCTOBER 3 The Dunwoody eleven met their Waterloo when they met North’s team Richards started things going by racing with the ball to Dun woody’s one-yard line and Mason put it over, causing the first score. The second score was due to Chodas. He intercepted a j ass making a touchdown run of thirty-five yards. Chodas was on his mettle in this game and showed his prowess by 125 [ TT«BSaSKI3C clever handling of the ball and well-timed punts. The third score came when Leavitt blocked a kick. Corcoran caught a pass from Chodas and went off for a touchdown. Score: North, 28; Dumvoody, 0. CENTRAL VS. NORTH AT NORTH Our first big game resulted in a defeat for our team. Central put North’s team on the go and kept us busy to the bitter end. Central’s passes made steady gains. End runs proved very popular. Our warriors seemed powerless before Central’s eleven. Central showed first class form. Her backs played a fine game. Her interference was splendid. Her passes were accurate and steady. Score: North, 0: Central, 13. ST. PAUL CENTRAL VS. NORTH. OCTOBER 17 This game showed a revival of North’s old time pep for which North’s teams have always been noted. Erickson’s touchdown started the ball rolling. From then on it was steady hard playing ’till Chodas. breaking through Central’s line, went half the field for the second touchdown. Segrcn, though light, when substituted for Ebersberger, showed that he was a brilliant player. He will undoubtedly be the fullback on next year’s team unless a “dark horse’’ shows up. The injured captain, Hiller, contented himself by playing the sidelines. Leavitt made good as acting Captain. Score: North, 17; St. Paul Central, 2. NORTH VS. WEST AT NORTH. OCTOBER 24 One look at the score might convey to the reader that this was a tight game. Far from it. The teams were not evenly matched. It seemed to be our day off. The team failed to take advantage of openings. West got away for a touchdown through our defense. If they had been alert, two of our men at least could have stopped the runner. This game cooled off the spirits of the team and onlookers. Score: North, 6; West, 6. NORTH VS. SOUTH AT SOUTH, OCTOBER 31 Brilliant runs, heavy gains, and excellent playing caused this to be the most thrilling and spectacular game of the season. The cause or rather causes were two long runs by South’s men and the one by Chodas. Throughout the first half North was the choice for the winner but as usual this year failed to take advantage of opportunities. North kept the ball in South’s territory all through the first half. Chodas attempted and missed a goal from the twenty yard line. In the second quarter, Swanson of South broke through North’s defense for a seventy-yard touchdown run. South kicked goal. In the second 126 Norman, Capt.

EAST AT NORTH, NOVEMBER 7 North wound up a disastrous year by defeating East twenty to 0. East’s team was light and young but plucky and fast. North played the best ball she has played this year. East outplayed our boys in the first quarter but after that our team had a walk away. The first score came through Young’s fifty-yard touchdown run. Segren brought in the second. Chodas kicked both goals. The third count was caused by Dahl's run for half the length of the field. The goal was missed. All the fellows played fine ball throughout the game. Score: North, 20: East, 0. Review of Basketball Season The handicap of inexperience which the 1920 basketball squad was forced to overcome Iteforc any degree of success could be realized was surely as great as that which beset Captain Hiller's football squad. Of the team which finished in the runner-up position last year under Coach Earl Jackson, only Worrell remained. A series of three games with the Alumni brought the many weaknesses of the team to light early in the season. That these were recognized and strengthened is indicated by the fact that the last game resulted in an easy victory for North whereas the first two ended in Blue and White defeats. Before the Xmas holidays, the veteran Farmington quint was downed 16-15 in a last minute rally led by Mason, and two days later the Mechanic Arts five, which later won the championship of St. Paul, was held to a 22-20 score on its own floor. Due to the fact that the Xmas vacation was delayed a week, the team was forced to meet Dunwoody on the day following the opening of school. A fairly good defensive showing was made, the game ending 17-7, but teamwork was lacking as a result of lack of practice. The conference season opened with Central on the North floor on Jan. 9th. Lack of experience showed plainly in the Blue and White ranks, especially in guarding. The limit of fouls for holding sent both regular guards from the game before the close of the first half. For three quarters the affair 128 BASKETBALL TEAM. Kennedy, (hoda . Grow, Berglund, Slctten, Mason, NVorrcl, Anderson, Leavitt. was quite evenly fought. Central leading 8-5 as the final period started. In this quarter, however, Central landed three baskets to North’s one. making the final count 14-7. The second conference game resulted in a 22-14 victory for North over West on the Green and White door. A great improvement in floor work and shooting was noticeable. The following week the team avenged the early season defeat on the Mechanics Arts floor by trimming the St. Paul shooters 19-16 on the North floor. At this point in the schedule illness confined Captain Worrel to his home, and Slctten was severely handicapped in his work by a prolonged cold. Showing the effects of its disorganization, the team managed to score a 19-4 win over Hast on the South floor in a poorly played contest. The second Dunwoody game was a midweek affair in which the first string men played but one half, leading 6-3 at the close. During the second half. Dunwoody found no opposition in the Blue and White second string players, and scored at will, the final verdict being 34-8. 129 I-------)P'0 LARI SC BASKETBALL SQUAD. Coach Kennedy, Haring, Houch.

Believed unable to even hold the heavy and experienced South aggregation to a respectable score, the team fought every inch of the way in a whirlwind encounter, losing 20-16. The defensive work of Gross and Mason’s foul shooting featured the North playing. 'Fhe second round of games opened on the Central floor. North losing another heart-breaking struggle 15-13 after leading for three quarters. Chodos, playing his first full game, showed up exceptionally well, his clever floor work resulting in three baskets. North celebrated its return to the home floor a week later bv beating West 29-11. Captain Worrel returned to the line-up in this game after an absence of four weeks, playing through the second half. The championship game of the season took place on the North floor the following Friday. South, deadlocked with Central in first place, was eliminated from the race in a thrilling 11-10 game, the result leaving the Red and Blue 130 i—imm ]POL ARISUZZ] securely at the top. Mason was the game’s hero with his remarkable last minute counter, but the entire Blue and White team was at the height of its power, and performed brilliantly. The final game of the season with Fast was rather an anticlimax, the Cardinals losing out 15-5. East made but slight effort to score, being contented to hold North to as low a count as possible. A better showing would have been acceptable to the backers of the team and the school, but those who followed the season’s playing closely and intelligently cannot help but realize that the players went their limit at all times. Steady improvement was shown, indicating hard and conscientious work by l oth players and coach. The team was never outclassed. In the games which were lost, it was always in the running, and had nothing of which to be ashamed in its defeat. Of seven letter men. but two. Gross and Chodos, will Ik. lost for next year, and so there is every reason to U ok forward to another season in the sport with optimism. Leonard Wokrrei.. DEC. 12. N CLUB VS NORTH — BEUTNERS VS. NORTH North tried the iron man stunt with the usual ending, defeat for the team, playing twice. Our boys suffered defeat first at the hand of the Beutners. The team played the first half, the “subs” playing during the second half. North showed the spirit of fighting to the finish. Then the regulars went in for the first half with the alumni and in the whole game. North played and played fast. The regulars held the N Club through the first half scoring regularly. In the second half the “subs” tried their luck again. By clever playing Barrett and Mullen managed to bring the score to an 18 to 18 tie at the bell. In the extra 5 minutes, the game was fast ending in a 24-22 score. N Club team: Mullen, Butler, Mason. Barrett and Carrier. North team: Mason, Sletten, Worrel, Leavitt and Gross. NOV. 26. “N CLUB VS. NORTH The N Club were given a hard game. The North team showed a lighting spirit against the alumni with the result of an 18 to 19 count in favor of the “old boys” of the N Club. This preliminary game gave Coach Kennedy a lineup on the material for the regular team. DEC. 12, 1919, NORTH VS. ST. PAUL ARTS This game showed up our team in regard to their guarding capacity. St Paul was forced to shoot from the center of the floor. They just couldn’t seem to miss any long shots, which were distinguishing feature of the game. North pulled off some poor passes mixed in with poor shots. But in the last 5 minutes, the old spirit came to the top, evidenced by five good clean shots for baskets. Worrel’s consistent playing was missed seriously in this game. Mason proved to be the best point getter. 131 r waamm ]|9OT j JAN. 9, 1920, NORTH VS. CENTRAL This game was fast and rough and poor basketball. The game looked good and really was spectacular but that was all. Central held North all the way through. North showed fairly well in the first half when the score was 8 to 4 but in the second half our defense weakened. Sletten shot two field goals through Central’s defense. Central played a five man defense, keeping our team down to seven scores out of the 21 made. Score: North 7, Central 14 JAN. 16, 1920, NORTH VS. WEST The freshie game, as an amusement, furnished enough fun for the most exacting crowd. Though the score at the finish was a 6 to 5 West victory, our Freshies actually put it all over the big West team. North’s youngsters played against W est’s taller, heavier, older, and in every way physically superior team in a manner that quickly dispelled West’s jeers. The real game began and continued to he rough. Not to be outdone by games of former years, this game proved to he swift and the roughest of the season. The game closely resembled football in that the players were always olT their feet, our boys giving West the run of their lives. West’s cries of “Hold ’em’’ were necessary the unavailing. The game is easily classed by the remark of a West player, “Play like Hell, fellows!” Both teams did. West went down as defeated at North’s hands 22-14. North’s team was an all star team composed of Worrel, Sletten, Mason, Leavitt, and Gross. JAN. 23, 1920, NORTH VS. MECHANICS ARTS North kept up the good start gained in the West game and inspired by confidence and knowledge that West at least knew their powers, our boys sent the Arts to a 19 to 16 defeat in a good, fast, real game. Our boys played with the advantage on our side all through the game. Score: 19 to 16 JAN. 30. 1920. NORTH VS. EAST AT SOUTH North though handicapped by the absence of Sletten and Worrell, played a ragged game. Neither side produced a star worthy of special mention. Our boys had it all over East, that was all there was to it. l ast held in the first half; the score being 5 to 4 in favor of North. In the second half, East failed to score and North made 12 more points. The game ended in an East defeat of 17 to 4. Score: North 19, East 4 FEB. 6, 1920, NORTH VS. DUNWOODY The first team held Dun woody and led through the first half. In the second half, the second team went in and were outplayed by the Dunwoody regulars. This game was merely an exhibition for warming up the first team, reviving the school spirit, and for furnishing diversion. 132 I—I3IB9BMBE MKXIBDGK 133 ■1 i---macMum. ]mm —i FEB. 13, 1920 NORTH VS. SOUTH South proved superior in this game, though North was not classed as “poor.” The hoys played a tight, hard game and kept the score in reasonable bounds. In this game South began to see what might happen at our next game. In fact, our hoys played so well that at no time was the score certain in favor of South. FEB. 20, 1920, NORTH VS. CENTRAL Central again had her chance to display her championship quint to good advantage. This battle was a repetition of our first clash with Central, though our team showed up much more favorably. It was a battle royal from start to finish and several times Central felt her crown tottering hut their combinations put their score again on safe ground. Score: North 16, South 20 NORTH VS. WEST Our team partially wiped off the stigma of our last defeat at the hands of Central by rubbing it into West. Chodas, playing in Sletten’s place, made good his reputation. The “subs” had a good part in this game and showed themselves worthy to play. This game ended to our satisfaction with a score: Score: North 27, West 11 FEB. 27, 1920, NORTH VS. SOUTH North sent the conquering South to a defeat. Our team played like demons seeming to be all over the floor at once. It was a fine exhibition of basketball as it should he played, furnishing plenty of thrills to the onlookers. Though it meant much to us, this game must be placed under the head of Practice Games. Score: North 11, South 10 MARCH 5, 1920, NORTH VS. EAST North sent East again to a heavy defeat. The East fellows played the game through, however, and gave our team a good fight. Under their handicaps, too much praise can not he given the East team for their good playing. Score: North, 15; East, 5. Score: North 15, East 5 1919 TRACK The 1919 Track Team was not well balanced. This point accounts for its lack of success. Though this team had men on it who are known through all the High Schools as very brilliant athletes, their team-mates were not as good as they were. The result was only natural. Lack of team-work, of mcessitv 134 I---Z1WM01 □RSOCSIBEKK brings on defeat. Great credit must be given to Allen, Xaused, Johnson, and Middlemist for their wonderful records. North is always proud of her athletic kings. Though the general success of the team was |x or, we honor the big men of the 1919 team. Of these four men two hold city records. Middlemist has one city record of the Discus throw. Mis record is 117 feet. 7 inches. Walter Naused holds city records for the half mile which he ran in 2 minutes 2 1-5 seconds, and the 440-yard dash which he accomplished in 52 seconds. The four men proved to be good point getters in the meets in which North competed. rqsssseM Track 1920 A true understanding of the 1920 track season and a realization of the difficulties and problems that confront the track coach this season can he gained only by comparing the potential strength of last year’s team with the inevitable inherent weakness of this season’s team, caused by the loss of the four men who made North’s foundation in the cinder battles last spring. Naused, Middlemist, Johnson, and Allen carried North almost to a championship last season. Naused _. was the best middle distance runner ever seen in a Twin ■l. City interscholastic meet. He made the city records for the half mile and 52 seconds for the quarter mile. Middlemist made the city record of 117 feet for the discus throw and had few rivals in the shot put. Johnson made the city record for the javelin throw of 154 feet. Allen was a brilliant performer in the dashes and hurdles. This quartet of athletes formed practi-cally the entire strength of the 1919 team. They had few team mates to supplement their efforts. Since they did not in themselves make a well balanced team, they went down to defeat before the powerful and well balanced aggregation representing West. The 1920 track team inherits all the weaknesses of last year’s team without any of its factors of power. North lost by graduation all but two letter men. Sperling and Gross. These are two splendid athletes, around whom it is the task of the coach to build a well balanced team. Captain Sperling is a half miler, and also will comj cte in the dashes and broad jump. Gross has an excellent record in the field events, and will perform more brilliantly than ever this year. The squad is large, works hard, and promises fair.

Called to the office, but gee, why fear— Fishing season's almost here.

There is a Rouble reason for this. In the first place, the season is shortened by the closing of school, causing the early work to be done under the handicap of the bad weather which prevails in the first spring months. In the second place, it is necessary for high school and college baseball to run a constant and losing race against professional baseball for the interest and financial support of the followers of the game. Nevertheless, as long as baseball is recognized as our national game, it should not lie abandoned by the educational institutions which are possibly able to maintain a team. It furnishes a type of training for bovs of high school age and young men of college age which develops those particular characteristics peculiar to Americans as compared with people of other nations. Batting and judging fly balls trains the eye. Fielding develops dexterity of movement and rapid judgment. Baserunning develops self confidence, daring, and speed. As the game should be played, it develops a sense of loyalty and co-operation in those who take part. Also it should be taken into consideration that there is an instinctive love for the game in all American boys. Whether given an auspicious opportunity to learn the game or denied it, the baseball instinct is there. Stories from France tell of Y. M. C. A. workers with divisions in which American and French soldiers were brigaded together tossing oranges from trucks to men resting during a march. The Americans, even those not trained in baseball, found no difficulty in gathering in a flying orange. It was an instinctive ability with them. The futile efforts of the Frenchmen to do the same were not comical only because they were so pathetic. Without going into details on a prospective line-up. it may be said that North possesses a number of experienced men who will likely be seen in action again this season. There is an experienced battery. Cheese behind the bat ami Strouts on the rubber. Yerkey, Chotlas, and Dryer are experienced infielders. Mason has a year of training in the outfield, although he may be moved in to play at third base. The outfield positions, while sought bv a host of candidates, will be filled by men whose ability is yet to be determined. By the time this article is published, the 1920 high school baseball season will have ended. It is not the purpose of the writer to make any predictions on the outcome of the games. It is only predicted here that the Blue and White 1920 baseball team will play real honest-to-goodness baseball, will be on its toes all the time in every contest, and will show the sporting public that North does not enter baseball half heartedly.

It teaches one the value of poetry on the Cave Man’s hack. Its name is derived from the latin verb “Boto” which means gravy. If it was not for Botany where would North High be? CHEMISTRY Chemistry is also a great subject. It teaches us to point our explosives at some one else. Its name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word “Soup.” The following is an interview with Mr. Davis: An Interview with “Pa” Davis “Pa” greeted the Polaris Reporter with a fatherly smile. Encouraged by this, the Polaris Reporter plunged into the interview. “What is your opinion of water?” he inquired as he bit off a chaw of Juicy Fruit. “Well,” replied Pa, thoughtfully, taking a sip from a beaker of H..SO, which stood on the desk, “some favor it as a beverage. For other purposes, such as a breathing medium, I have not considered it suitable. However, one may breathe it if lie wishes—once.” “That is very interesting,” remarked the Polaris Reporter. “I have removed the Chlorine experiment from the curriculum, continued Pa crooking his elbow once more. “The undertakers’ union gave me liberal commissions, but 1 had to give it up. 1 made too much work for the janitors, having so many corpses on the premises. Ah, them was the good old days. I bought a fur lined bathtub with the last bonus check.” “How do you like teaching chemistry?” inquired the Polaris Rejiortcr conversationally. 142 i-----Jiagwff ]PiO?OSRT5t==l “Teaching chemistry would he all right if it were not for the pupils. They insist on overflowing the sinks. If they don’t do that they drop broken test tubes into the traps,” said Pa. “Shocking,” shuddered the Polaris Reporter. “Hut you have not heard all.” resumed Pa. “These students will be the death of me yet. They arc forever mussing up the room. Do you see that spot?” indicating a splash on the ceiling with a graceful gesture. “That is all that remains of one who monkeyed. A very sad case. Me sighed and poured himself another slug of H,S04. “How does that stack up as a beverage?” inquired the rejK rter. “I consider it superior to wood alcohol,” replied Pa. “What do you think of near beer?” asked the rejxmer, preparing to go. “The guy that named it was a poor judge of distance,” replied Pa, i ouring out another libation. Dear Reader: I guarantee that the remarks accredited to me in this interview are in the main correct, although some of the ideas have been so garbed that they are not so humorous as when uttered by myself in person. (Signed) I . A. (Pa) Davis (Himself). An Interview with Miss Leet The Polaris Reporter breezed merrily into 242. Miss Leet was in. She was seated at her desk. “Good morning. Miss Leet.” said the P. R. “Good-ah-morning,” replied Miss Leet. “1 am here.” said the P.

No, Leavitt is not trying to butt in the brick wall with his head; he is just trying to turn a corner on the mile run. As soon as he has run around thirty-four and three-eighths times, he can slide down that brass pole and snooze comfortably on the mats below. Observe how the curves of the rubberized track arc made to slope sharply upward. That is to keep Sid Richards’ toes from turning outward so far that lie reverses himself, and starts running the other way. Editor’s Note: Strange tho it may seem, this is an actual fact. 143 I---ngBSOSKICK Notice the shot that Gross lias. It is covered with leather. If he should hit Ryberg on the head with it, the leather would prevent injury to the shot. There isn't much danger of Gross hitting anyone in the head, tho; he is more apt to hit them in the shins. Interview with Mr. Hobbs 1 have just thought of a new slogan for the use of the school. remarked Mr. Hobbs as he removed his spectacles from the projecting part of his cranium. I consider a slogan absolutely indispensible to the running of the school, you know.” “Oh. posilutcly.” replied the enthusiastic Polaris Reporter. “The slogan I have evolved. thundered Mr. Hobbs dramatically, is this: ‘Co-operation and Efficiency’.” “Wonderful, ejaculated the P. R., writing feverishly in his notebook. Everybody should co-operate; everybody should be efficient.” continued Mr. Hobbs, as he played with his spectacle chain, “and I want you to know that if some people don’t fix up their Gym and Chorus credits they won’t graduate. He replaced his spectacles on his nose and continued. “Not only do I believe in co-operation and efficiency but I will meet anyone half way, as I always give students the benefit of the doubt. In fact. I will go more than half way and I wish to say officially that 1 know the names of the three young men who dodged out of the Girard entrance during the second period this morning and they had lietter come to me before I get them. Leaving the school any time before 2:45 without special permission is truancy.” The P. R. turned pale but. writing furiously, managed to withdraw with grace. POEM ON PONY 1.

THIEVES LOOT THE OFFICES OF THE POLARIS Yeggmen Blow Safe and Escape With Plunder April 31.—Burglars entered the Polaris office early today, blew the safe and esca| ed with a large sum of money and valuable papers, thus j erpetrating one of the most daring daylight robberies of the season. In a statement issued this morning T. Menzel, the Bus. (y) Manager estimated that the losses would be very heavy. Among the things taken were: One l cer check, the personal property of Mr. Menzel. One ticket to the Saturday night performance of Flo Flo, also the | ersonal proj erty of Mr. Menzel. One plugged nickel, the property of the Polaris. One Canadian dime, the property of the Polaris. In their haste the burglars overlooked a bottle of Bandoline that Mr. Menzel was accustomed to use on his j ompadour and also a cud of Juicy Fruit, only slightly used. It is believed that the yeggmen gained access to the office thru the door. Dekes have been put on the trail of the lawbreakers and arrests are expected momentarily. STARTLING EXPOSURES Will Be Made In the Polecat Beginning with our next issue, in pursuance of our uncompromising policy, the Polecat will publish a series of articles exposing graft and corruption as it exists in the school. Men prominent in the school, whose names have never before been touched by the breath of scandal, will be revealed in their true light These daring exposures will spare none. Corruption in high places will be brought to light by pitiless publicity. Unless hush money is immediately forthcoming our first attack will be directed against the Park Board and Edward A.

The Polecat Purity Squad is investigating other organizations and individuals and even more startling revelations are soon to be made. Don’t fail to get the full story of crime and corruption in high places as revealed in the next issue of the Polecat. 147 mm l SC 3E932 PE----1 EDITORIAL We have noted with regret tendency on the part of the authorities to abolish gum chewing from North High School. We object to this most strenuously, as cruel and unusual and absolutely unwarranted. In the first place it is an abridgement of our constitutional rights. According to the constitution—or is it the Declaration of Independence—all men are entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When we are deprived of gum, we are deprived of the pursuit of happiness. What if the janitors do object? 'fhe constitution is the highest law in the land. Another thing that we should always remember is that gum has a very beneficial effect on the human system. It cleans the teeth; it sweetens the breath; it improves the digestion. Gum forever!

THE WOULD BE VAMP The would-be vamp is always hanging ‘round In North High’s corridors they sure abound. They have the looks of “Star” like mimicry And beauties in their aspect they would be. To those who have to see them every day, They seem but travelers on the “painted” way. In passing them, you’ll always hear boys say, I wonder why they try to look that way.” Tho inside sheltered from the wind that blows, Their cheeks assume the color of the rose. By depth of snowy powder on their face. You’d think that flour’d be cheaper in its place. But sad to say, the worst is yet to come. They fail to see their state of martyrdom. Tho slaves they are in fair Dame Fashion’s courts. 152 lumxxm. 153 cl_zjp 'Ca:r:i s{ They always try to mock the best of sports. If long, tight skirts, are all the latest “rare,” Why long tight skirts those girls are bound to wear. And if small pumps are worn by fashion’s best In smallest pumps with highest heels invest. Whatever Dame Fashion’s dictates chance to be It’s always that they’re wearing, don’t you see? They have no brains or dictates of their own, Tho at fashion’s pace, they inward sigh and groan. What tho clothes bring pain and many, many sigh, “Better in pain than out of date” they cry. In winter, furs may not be all the rage. In summer, they hold sway on every page. In fashion books, you’re bound to see them there, When furs are far too warm for common wear. In all the queer, in all eccentric ways Our vamps excel the vamps of other days. O, fortune, save the youth of this sad day Who’s always vamped by vamp with vampish way. Remove all specimens of this wild race. And give us girls, just plain girls in their place. W. Clair Middleton, June ’20. THE WORD JAZZ Perhaps the most widely used word in the ordinary person’s vocabulary is the word jazz. It is used and misused upon innumerable occasions, and without a doubt it will be in the next edition of Webster’s. Three of the most common uses of it Are in reference to music, clothes, and alcohol. As far as I know, the word jazz originated in music. A song is said to be “jazzy” if in perusing it one can find the words, “shimmy,” “ooh la la.” or “Oui Oui Marie.” Likewise an orchestra merits the appellation of jazz if it possesses a saxophone player who can stand on his head and keep playing his instrument at the same time; or a trombone artist who gets out of tunc and breath occasionally. The word was next discovered in regard to clothes. A collar cut away in front and low enough to expose that eminently masculine feature known as the Adam’s apple is called “jazzy.” If Mr. Brown should be seen staggering home because of a superfluous indulgence in some alcoholic beverage, the Indies’ Aid Society, at the next meeting, would be informed of the fact that Mr. Brown came home “all jazzed up.” And so it goes. I believe that word has more uses than a bottle of hair tonic. 154 John McGuire. 1U9EJK0I MMOBKK 0 SOME CLASS EH ? © CMZZ MOVA THE s TOP IN VO' yvf) suh'ah've TEC T PRINTS A O Nl£P TKXt THE GAYEST SHOW STAC a EVEQYDODY | ASK too .

BALLAD OF THE LOST RAZOR BLADES The moon rode high in a summer skv : The zephrous breezes blew; The roses there with incense rare. Quickened his senses too. He held her tight (Twas in the night, With only the moon to see). And in her eyes—he saw not the lies Of woman’s duplicity. His words of guile provoked a smile. Yet her lips pursed temptingly; For a second he waited—simply hesitated. Then—“Quite nicely done.” thought he. A piercing shriek—the maid tried to speak, As she loosed his loving embrace. He stammered, he stuttered and like a Ford sputtered. While she ruefully felt of her face. He didn’t much mind her glances most unkind. For game he attempted to rave— With anguish soul throbbing she questioned him sobbing. “Alyosious, why don’t you shave? 159 Priscilla. iiaaia) i «aoira®RDiosf Free Verse Canto I Under the spreading grape-nut tree.

He looked about and stopped to think, “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink. Canto IV “To be or not to be,” he shouted, in fiendish glee, As he jumped into the sea.

Saint Paul Sammy, skillful scamp. Scene I Verna, walking down Broadway Meets Saint Sammy one fine day. When Sammy sees her smiling face. He tips his hat with manly grace. And arm in arm they go. the twain. To try to get some good Chow Mein. Scene II The Cafe lights are gleaming bright, And is now dark, pitchy night. As Sammy sits across from Vein His fape indeed shows much conc.rn. Alas now how should Verna know What thoughts inside his mind do flow? How can she tell by his look That underneath he is a crook ? Now does he at her jewels glance. And aims to get them by some chance. Vamp Verna gazes in his eyes. To hypnotize her, Sammy tries. He does not mean to meet defeat. She crumbles forward in her seat. Now to her jewels his trained hands fly. He pockets them, and with a sigh He cries, “Alas, O me, O my. Some harder fields now I must try.” Scene III Now to the hock shop’s Sammy’s path To trade his jewels for ready cash. The jeweler holds them to his face. “These aren’t jewels, they’re only paste.” Alas now Sam, thy toil is wasted. Think of the feeds that can’t be tasted. Now turns his trade, our good friend Sam. He’s had to take to stealing ham. For jewels tho very pretty things Don’t always bring what good ham brings. So now he’s left his fine fair maids To go in search of butchers’ trades. 185 Scene IV Now once more Verna is herself Tho rid of jewels and worldly pelf. She weeps and groans, bewails her loss, For now she’ll have to find a boss. And work all day, and toil away. And spend her coin her bills to pay. But Verna by experience learned That men at all costs must be spurned. And St. Paul Sam by labor hard Has earn his just and due reward. He has a room which you can see His open hours are one to three, And tho he doesn’t like it well, He spends his spare time in his cell. Moral All mortals ought to tread all day The open, straight and narrow way. For vamps and men with taking ways Regret it to their dying days. W. Clair Middleton, June ’20.
