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.”

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.
