Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1921 volume:

The POLARIS Published By The SENIOR CLASSES OF NORTH HIGH SCHOOL In The CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS VOLUME XII To the members of the North High Faculty in grateful appreciation this 1920-21 yearbook is dedicated.. Courtesy of the Ashley Airplane Corporation, Robhinsdale Airpoint—Taken by Paul Hamilton, of the Minneapolis Tribune Photographing Staff. 3 W. W. HOBBS 4 1 j 92.11 POLARISO 31 Foreword The fact that this school year has appeared to pass too rapidly is an evidence that it has been a pleasant one. There are many good reasons for believing it has been a profitable year. The classes graduating this school year have given many assurances that they were filled with true North I ligh loyalty and enthusiasm. The spirit of both the student body and faculty has been, in view of our crowded conditions, an inspiration and great pleasure to the administrative department of the school. More definite means will be taken next year to use those organizations and influences which stand for high ideals of conduct and excellence of scholarship to more fully exert themselves to attain still better results. I wish to thank the classes graduating in 1920 and 1921 for their many evidences of loyalty and co-operation. I am sure that when they become a part of our great Alumni Association of 2.500, they will ever be ready to stand for all measures which will enhance the interests of this school. An appeal is here made to all whq may see this volume to most sincerely work for Amendments 1 and 6 to the City Charter, and especially Amendment 1. which are to come l efore the voters at the coming city election. Realizing what the Public Schools have done for you, 1 am sure you will wish them to do still more for those who follow you. I congratulate this year’s classes upon the excellence of this volume—-another milestone in the history of this school. It is definite evidence of work well done. An appeal is here made to the student Ixnly to carry forward the good work of which you have given so noble an example, and not to be contented with past excellence, but to be determined to achieve still higher and better results for personal benefit and the honor of North High. In Appreciation In varying degrees the several Annuals published by North High have been better or worse, according to their individual merits. As the editors of the 1 20-1921 Year Rook and as persons seeing it without the advantageous perspective of time, we can not judge as to its merits or demerits. Put certainly we know that whatever small degree of success or failure it may obtain has not come through individual effort or inspiration, but through the entire co-operation of all the departments and their co-workers. To these people we would credit the publication of this l est memorial that a class can leave and to these friends we would extend our gratitude and appreciation for all the time, effort, and what is better, the willing spirit of assistance that has characterized its production. Yours respectfully. The Editors. 5 1: POLARIS fe llll i! 2IL DECEMBER ANNUAL STAFF Alfred Cluiiue Bernard Bran ten Waldo llardcll John Rupkalvls Marcella Peterson Arthur Kerkhoff Roftar Loucks Horace VanNorman Julia Thomas JUNK ANNUAL STAFF R.

More than that he had a natural outlet for his instincts—and that in the brush and the canvas. 1 le painted ardently and profusely, and. as a result, by the time I was wooing the crafty dollar from my pen point, he had already shaped success with his brush tips. So he became a great name in the artists’ world, and rose from a casual friend to an object for admiration in mine. Every man has his little private and personal vision. Some, as the Harvester, draw for themselves the “perfect woman”; others, as Vincent, an ideal. His was the quest of beauty. If only I had enough money. he would say; “if 1 had enough to travel and see the beautiful things of the world: the Alps, the Egyptian sky, the Venetian moon, or the ships on the sea.” With success came money, and with money came travel. So one day he boarded the train, and. smiling a rather sad farewell, was whisked out of my life and into that of which lie had dreamed—a modern-day knight pledged to the lady. Beauty. After that for five years my mail was sprinkled spasmodically with letters of foreign postage. For five years I read descriptions of “blue seas and blue skies,” “opal and golden shores.” “vaulted heavens,” “crimson sunsets” and “scented groves.” N et, sometimes between the lines, the place where a man writes with his heart, 1 detected little quirks of disappointment, as though the pen of the spirit was tired. Finally, even the purpose for which he had set forth so ardently, lost prominence in the pages of his discourse. I read very little now of “white ships that go to sea,” or the song of the Venetian boatman”; and a great deal of ship passages home and speed of transportation. Then, at last lie did come home, and, as five years l eforc, I had seen him depart, now I watched him return. We talked a great deal—he of the things he had seen and I of the things he ha l missed; but, especially, as we walked up the brown road. I remember he said, After all. do you know. I haven’t found it yet. “What?” I asked absently. Beauty,” he replied. “The most beautiful thing. Night was coming swiftly into the heavens. The sun had already left its crimson signature on the purple sky-leaf, and the faint stars were gaining prominence. The countryside was falling into a lazy, comfortable sleep, and as a tiny 62 breeze stirred the leaves by the roadside, I heard the frogs burst into a vehement chorus of prayer for rain. Somewhere, close by, a horse, stirring uneasily, thumped the stable wall, and far across the valley a dog, ardent in the defense of the household, burst into a series of pugilistic challenges. Clover odors and fresh green sod smells, robbed the air of its day-time dust, and the cold breath of the swamp land tempered the heat of the sun’s effort. We reached the top of the hill and looked down on the quiet stretch ahead. The road was as true as the edge of a rule, and. as we looked, like a great brown finger, it pointed down into the twinkling valley and straight to a small house in its hollow. Every light was a sparkle; and every window beckoned and smiled a warm welcome. A faint white whisp of smoke curled lazily out of the chimney and hung like a gray pencil mark on the black sky. If the spheres make music, there was harmony that night, not only in the kindly heavens, but on the peaceful earth as well, and especially in the little twinkling home at the road's end. “I’ve found it. Oh, I’ve found it, my companion cried. “What?” I asked, buried to the heart top in the beauty before me. “The thing I've searched so far for, he answered, pointing ahead. “ I he most beautiful thing. It’s home—hx k it's home. Kenneth Dickinson. Mother ()ne who understood, that’s all— Yet what a world it can recall. ()ne who saw beneath your face That lacked the outward beauteous grace, What you were, and understood All your tempers, every mood: Knew and felt your deepest thought. Did not laugh, or scorn, or scoff. Her smile could ever light the day— From earthly shores she’s strayed away O’er the river in that land, Where everyone can understand Mother! 63 Julia Thomas. Jack’s Adventure It was a hot, sultry (lay in Juye. Poor Jack was trying desperately to concentrate upon his history. He could hear the birds twittering, and the quiet ripple of the little brook that ran beside the little old-fashioned schoolhouse. It was warm in the schoolroom, and Jack didn't see why he couldn’t study out-of-doors under the shade of the big spreading maple tree, that stood shading the brook. Jack remembered the good times he had had with his pal. catching the little trout that swarm around in the cool waters of the brook. Suddenly, his head began to nod, and Jack seemed to be out by tlie brook. He took off the shoes that had burned his feet so in the schoolroom, and let his feet dangle in the cool water. He soon got tired of this, and suddenly he thought of his fishpole and bait, that he had concealed in the big tree before school. He was soon back by the brook again with his hook baited. After waiting hours, so it seemed to Jack, he felt a jerk on his line, when he heard someone scream, as if in pain. He woke up to find himself vigorously pulling at the long braid of red hair, belonging to the girl in front of him, with the rest of the class looking at him. greatly amused. Nancy Reid, l) C. My Desire (live me a skiff of birch bark light. Strengthened with sinews strong, A leaping stream with rapids white. Loud with their crashing song. Paint in the hues of the western sky, As the evening shadows grow, A lone bird slowly passing by, I lame in the afterglow. Waft me the smoke of burning fir.

Probably the most interesting diary to be found is a freshman's, so we shall glance across the pages that mark a year of turmoil and work. In this hook may lx found such things as will lx enumerated. Monday: (the days arc not dated) The P room teacher made me stay the ninth and tenth periods to shoot spithalls liecausc I hit a fellow with one. The worst part of it was picking them up later. Tuesday: When I was eating lunch a number of sophomores and juniors started to tell me all about the elevator and various peculiari-ties about this building. I told them they acted like a bunch of freshmen. It took their wind away and I was able to make a dignified retreat. Friday: My mathematics teacher told me if I did not settle down to work, things would go hard with me. As a result I could eat no lunch that day and I certainly worked thenceforth. Wednesday: I was chased upstairs today by Mr. Hobbs. (The truth is I saw Mr. Hobbs and ran upstairs.) Friday: I went to a basketball game. The gym was crowded to the doors but I got in. When I was nicely settled down along came one of those good for nothing juniors and said that he rented this place a year ago. I doubted his integrity but I gave up my place because lie was much larger than I. Thus his diary goes on. We picked out a very few incidents to recount to you. We did this so you will not forget the time when you were a humble “Freshy.” Dudley Fricson, 9 C. At Dusk The sky was colored in the west. The whole world seemed to be at rest: As from a wood of green nearby, A woodthrush sang his lullaby. F. Myrna Nash. 65 i’PO LARIS. liizia The Soul of You The eyes of you, they are the stars of night. That guide me as the brilliant star of old. The sun of days, of all my world the light, A radiance born within the dawn’s clear gold. The soul of you, it is a symphony. Played on a mighty harp, a Master’s love, That lingers in notes of perfect melody. Then soars on wings of song to realms above. Julia E. Thomas, Dec. ’20. Day Dreams If we could reach the purple haze, Away beyond the hills. We’d reach the land where dreams conic true, With all its rocks and rills. There all our dreams have taken form, I'he good, the had. the gay, The happy dreams—all that we’ve had, Would meet us there some day. Anna Ed man. The World That Was Lately So Fair The world that was lately so fair. The glint of the sun on the sea. Your laughter that drove away care. Comes vividly back to me In the hours of my wandering dreams, In the haze of a summer’s day. Or when on a path of moonbeams, I wavering stray. Whenever I hold in my hand The flowers that you wore in your hair, You return o’er the wild, yellow sand, You, who always drove away care. Julia Thomas. 66 I 1921 POLARrSOl Milton’s Diction Milton was truly a master of words—his poems are overflowing with examples of his power, veritable gold mines of expression. With a few words he transports us to a dry-smooth-shaven green, to behold the wandering moon”; again, he guides us among “meadows trim and daisies pied,” o’er “russet lawns and fallows grey, where the nibbling flocks do stray.” To tread the “orchid walks of twilight groves” with Milton is a pleasure which cannot Ik- fully appreciated. “Paradise Lost” would Ik a mere empty shell were it not for the beauty of expression and the forceful description with which it is filled. We arc held spellbound as we see Satan “hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky—down to bottomless perdition. We listen with bated breath to the Arch-Fiend and his followers as they take council together at Pandemonium, the “high capital,' which rose anon out of the earth “like an exhalation. The characters of “Paradise Lost” are interesting only in their development and in that they give us a conception of Milton’s idea of the I inverse, of God, and of Satan. We do not believe these ideas, and read merely for the poetic beauty with which they are expressed. In “L Allegro” we join with Milton “in unreproved pleasures tree, and watch while the dappled dawn doth rise—robed in flames and amber light. In II IVnscroso we rest with Milton “where glowing embers through the room teaches light to counterfeit a gloom. Xo one line or group of lines can illustrate the genius. Perhaps, one of the great secrets of his power lies in this, his own quotation: “He that would hope to write well in laudable things, ought himself to be a true poem: that is. a composition and pattern of the best and most honorable things.” Mildred Johnston: A Beauty Spot of America The first view one gets of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is from Artist Point. The proud mortal steps from a machine and walks a few steps to a platform. Before him is suddenly spread the most concentrated grandeur. combined with exquisite coloring, that most of us are privileged to gaze upon. Far away are the Great Falls. They show a beautiful white amid the pines that descend to the brink. Framed in a mass of color that eclipses anything imaginable, the water drops three hundred feet. The awful silence throws a sj ell over all. The depth, the color, the vastness, incomparable. unduplicated, grandly fascinating, make one feel that, after all, there is a God, Someone who with a touch has laid Nature’s color box open to the unholy gaze of men. It may be by some mighty upheaval that tore the earth asunder that there was bared to vision a gallery of sculpture and art, the like of which a collector never brought together. Or else the relentless river, wearing away through time and eternity, has gouged and carved, and left this masterpiece of art. Whatever way it was produced it didn’t happen without the touch of some great unseen hand. Great points of rock, as yet not worn away bv time, but carved into fantastic images, tinted by a master artist, jut into the canyon from both sides. The river, green with a green no human being ever created, winds in and out along their bases. It twists, it turns, it rushes. Now, it is a placid green: now, it is churned into a frothy white by some rock, which, loosened, has plunged into the un forget -able depths and comes to rest in the river. Behind each point there is the tip of another showing, another and then another. Fach one in turn is dimmer, and recedes into the distance. It’s big at first, but the size of each small detail, the ever-continuing space make it grow even bigger. You. a lordly human, pale into such infinitesimal insignificance that your shout is as a whisper in your own puny domain. Between each point of rock is a great slide of multi-colored sand that has been ground from the walls of the canyon. Each slide extends in one grand, majestic sweep from brink to bottom. There is color, color everywhere, and not a bit a man could ever produce. Below, a thousand feet, the gaze meets the river, after wandering down the slide, scanning the carving of the rock and wondering at the pines, growing where 69 □ POLARIS only a pine can grow. Some foolish one has counted the colors. He says that there are ninety-eight. I believe there are ninety-eight thousand. They are splashed about indiscriminately, but they are blended colors. Here is a slide of yellow sand interspersed with all the shades of red. Here is a blood red pinnacle, topped with the green of a pine. There is a cliff beginning a pale blue and ending a deep purple. Violet, orange, purple, blue, red, yellow, brown, and green in all shades are concentrated in one piece of work by a master hand. It is time to go and that self-satisfied tourist turns away silent. But he has something ahead. That is Inspiration Point. That one is a fool or an idiot who docs not see how small he is and how infinitely greater someone else must be. Then, below one, plunging fifteen hun- dred feet, is the wall of the canyon. One hears the asprey scream and look below you and see the nest and the young upon a rodsy spire. Here, safe, he lives his life and is at home with the other things God has made, and yet we “lords ol creation are afraid. There is silence until one catches the muffled roar of the river. One gets an idea of the depth by the faraway hum. A giant pine on the river’s edge appears as a small shrub. The vastness is even plainer than on Artist’s Point. The indescribable bigness inspires, yet vaguely opposes. After a last, unforgettable look, one turns away and sighs as he steps into the machine that carries him away. For a long time he is silent as he thinks of the great storehouse of color he has just seen, and he is a bit less in his own mind than he was before. Zen as Havstad. The Land Where Giants Grow When the first warm breath of spring Sets my fancy wandering, Then I long to go To that land where giants grow; Where the beetling crags stand high, Towering dark against the sky ; And the wind, the whole day long. Shouts abroad its battle song: Where the rushing torrent bends— )n banks of stone its fury spends Till, leaping from a boulder high, It forms a bridge 'tween earth and sky; Where the huge bald-eagle swings Through the sky on ponderous wings. While endless forests lie below. The home alike of prey and foe: Where the broad sun with mighty ravs (iives power e’en to strongest days. And turns that place where beauty teems. Into the land of strong men’s dreams. When the first warm breath of spring Sets my fancy wandering. Then it is I long to go To that land where giants grow.

The mortal world was fast asleep, The old moon smiled as he looked around ; Strange happenings in the world he found. Beneath a tre« far in the cast The fairies were having their annual feast; The wee folk had gathered from far and near To share in the celebration here. Their table was loaded with delicacies rare. Of food and of drink thev'd enough and to spare, A fig chopped up into hundreds of parts Was but one attraction that gladdened their hearts. At the head of the table the fairv queen sat: I ler seat was blue grass woven into a mat; She drank from her tiny brown acorn shell Pure dew, distilled from Dame Nature's well. The candles were furnished by firellies gav. That flitted about like sparrows in May: The fairies did sing and dance to and fro To strains of sweet music so soft and so low. When the old moon decided to go to his rest. There was hurry and flurry as each tiny guest Hurried fast to his home over meadow and brook, And quickly the land of mere mortal forsook. LlT.ME LAMB.

Tiny, soft tendrils of white smoke were wafted at long intervals from the once proud log. now charred remnant of inglorious wood, immersed in the cold gray ashes on the hearth, t’pon the corners of the low mantelpiece, two carved lions heads leered with wicked eyes at the scene, as the firelight sought them out. A sudden daring sputter of flame, dancing over the dingy, quiet room with its worn upholstered furniture and threadbare hangings, revealed a young girl, crumpled up in a capacious armchair. 1 ler dark head was bowed over a violin. Her long, slender, white fingers clenched and unclenched themselves convulsively upon the darkly stained wood of the instrument. With a quick, passionately swift movement, she raised her head, and dashing back a stray lock of hair from her forehead, gazed with dark, tragic young eyes at a small portrait above the mantelpiece. It was a painting of a young woman who bore a striking resemblance to the girl with the violin. “You! The word fell from the girl's dry lips involuntarily. The quick tears gleamed on her lashes. You just all I had. and now you've gone, and there’s no one to care—just my violin, and Peter said yesterday that it was but a piece of wood. A piece of wood—yes—hut he didn't know that once it was part of a beautiful tree—perhaps a wonderful pine that grew in a great Norwegian forest. A living, green tree with a soul and from the heart and the soul they made my violin. A piece of wood—ah. I pity Peter—he didn't know. “You”—her fingers strayed lovingly over the violin strings and a single tear shimmered fora moment on the shining varnish—“you are all that is left. Peter is only a boy. lie never understood. What docs it all matter, anyway? Sometimes the world is unkind, but always there is you. I can live in the harmony and beauty of you because you give to me what money cannot. With you in my hands I can make it all come back just as it was yesterday—no, years ago. ’ “Little mother —her eyes again sought the portrait—“Manuel painted you from his memory, put you on the canvas with his brushes, but I can always paint you for myself, this way. The faint firelight, lighting up the dark, fantastic shadows of the room made a wierd setting for the slender girl as she stood poised for a moment as if to catch a long-forgotten strain of music, and then crooning low over the instrument: “Sing, sing to me of the old garden and my mother. she drew the bow across the quivering strings. 74 1 92 r Pi POLARfSs 3 ujj The room grew warm with southern sunshine. The scene faded. A fountain laughed and gurgled with happy abandon in a glory of golden light. The faint fragrance of jasmine assailed the senses, and tall trees swayed in a gentle breeze. A winding garden path led into the recesses of an inner rose garden. A sudden trill of girlish laughter trembled on the air. and a young woman whose dark eyes sj oke of an understanding of life, came down the path, a great crimson rose clasped in her hands. The charm of her voice and figure grew indistinct as if a veil of tears were being drawn across the scene. A last haunting memory of her face, drawn and changed by sorrow, remained, and then— The girl with the violin ceased playing and stood transfigured for a moment, bow suspended, then with an overwhelming consciousness of her dismal surroundings, she came close to the portrait above the mantel again, and sjx ke almost in a whisper: “I was there, little mother, in the rose garden. Now I know I can always go there with you whenever the days are cold and cheerless, or”—her voice broke in a sobbing laugh—“or when the landlady comes to collect the rent and I haven't it. Oh, 1 can take you with me through all the years to come. Why. little mother,” —her eyes grew wide with comprehension—“why, you are the soul of my violin! The soul of my violin--- The last words died away into silence. The two carved lions' heads with the leering eyes faded into the nothingness of the shadows, as the girl, dropping into the arm-chair again, gazed with happy, visionary eyes at one last red coal that dropped with a soft thud upon the hearth, pulsated with flame as though gasping for breath and then with a last faint fiery sigh, took on the grey hue of the ashes in the grate. Julia E. Thum as, Dec., ’20. Thought You never can tell what thought can do In bringing you hate or love, For thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe; Each thing creates its kind, And they speed o'er the track to bring you back Whatever went out of your mind. Harry Liff. 75 NORTH HIGH FACULTY izu TjR [)lr= .

William Stephen Helen Acker Bernice Lonergan Della Shaptcigh Marie Worrel Alice Jocobron SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY FTEN Mr. Hobt s has stated that the Literary Society is the l� est club in North. Of course, other organizations deny this statement. yet the truth remains the truth. Through the year, its 'I'fl nzto a'm ,as been to promote literan ability and good feeling throughout the school. K' tiller During the past year, its entertainments have been various and amusing. Members of the club have spent many a pleasant afternoon in either the library or F room. One of the most pleasant of all the entertainments was “Almost Every Man.” The club put this on in an auditorium period. The play, although melodramatic, did an enormous amount of good in its help in bettering the English language at North. Later the club was entertaned by some readings which were given in a truly amusing and original way. She. who has given the club some interesting readings, is Mrs. E. M. Tousley. Sometimes she made them laugh, sometimes she made them want to cry. Bernice Loncgran and Lora Davidson gave a joint program one week. Both amused the club in totally different ways. Another highly appreciated program was given by Avncr Rakov, a well known volinist of North. The club also had the pleasure of having Miss Laura Henry give some of her most charming selections. Although all the readings were not light, they were all given in a way that only Miss Laura Henry can. She seemed to turn herself into the characters whose lines she read. 81 Near the end of the spring quarter, the society held term examinations, at which Miss Mann and Miss Austin presided. All were impressed by the results of the examinations, especially when the marks of the valedictorian were two “D’s,” one “C” and one “It. It ended with the presentation of diplomas of white stick candy tied with green ribbon. Of course, the club had to eat, so in early summer, a large banquet was held in the lunchroom in honor of the departing members. It was attended by a large portion of the club and the “eats and ’musements’' were especially good. The evening was spent in toasting and dancing which were enjoyed by all. I he society surely accomplished its aim in the past year. 1'nder the advice of Miss Burgess, the faculty adviser, the club has rapidly pushed forward, 'i he old members go out and the new members come in, but still the organization goes on, giving aid where it can, and always standing for the good and honor of the school. The club at the end of the term, had a membership standard of seventy-five people. In order to get into the membership of the club, one has to l e voted on by the membership committee and duly voted in by the members of the club. In the year of 1921, the club had as its presidents two of the most able people in North, Roger Loucks and Zenas Havstad. They spent much of their valuable time in keeping the club up to its present standard. Their unfailing work in the organization helped the club greatly throughout the year. Through the entire year, the club tried its hardest to set high standards for North. All members worked for one ideal, and their efforts were appreciated by the whole school. Societies may come and societies may go, but the Senior Literary Society goes on forever. 82 555555555555585555 E UI92I POLARIS D. Cammcron. D. Quilling C. Kllit. II. Sigglo, H. Brickncr. Miw Vom. A.

Liby PARK BOARD HE Park Board is composed of two representatives from each room who bring plants from the green house to their respective rooms, where the careful eye of the floor chairmen insures their projjer care. The object of the Park Board is to create an atmosphere of homeliness and cheerfulness. It represents a spirit of helpfulness and unselfishness, for like the City Park Board it works for nothing. Members put additional plants in rooms A, B and C when the December Seniors graduated, to make the last few days more cheerful, assisted in Health Week, prepared the ground for the Senior tree planting, prepared the Arbor Day Program, and made bouquets for the veterans on Memorial Day. The halls and auditorium were decorated for Lincoln’s Birthday, 1 hanks-giving, Armistice Day, Christmas and Memorial day. On Armistice Day and Christmas a lively spirit of competition was shown when the rooms and halls were approprately decorated. 83 Besides the numerous duties they have many happy times. The picnics in the Fall and Spring are well attended. They had a moving picture on the flowers and trees of the West in connection with a program. The most pretentious affair was a banquet. It was held in February and each one brought a friend. Mr. and Mrs. Gates, Mr. and Mrs. William Lohff and Mr. Hobbs and Miss Hobbs were the guests of honor.

Sturman THE POLARIS WEEKLY N place of the monthly magazine, the Weekly Polaris has proved a great factor in creating a real school spirit at North. It has given everyone, students and teachers, a chance to do actual work on the paper, bringing them, through this co-operation, into close, friendly contact. As a weekly paper, the Polaris has won the distinction of being the second best of all the newspapers entered in the Minnesota State Journalism Contest at Carlcton, January 14 and 15. North and its paper were represented at this Contest by Kenneth Dickenson, Raymond Keller, Eldon Mason and Lawrence Young, while at the Interstate Conference held at Beloit, W isconsin. May 7. Kenneth Dickenson was the representative. Not only does the Polaris have its business side, but a social side as well, for in April, 150 guests were entertained at the Annual Polaris banquet. Because of the new interest the paper has aroused. Journalism classes under Miss Leet have been established, but those who are not in these classes do not hesitate to send in valuable news. The staff edits all material submitted but welcomes all efforts in writing on the part of individual students. There are some who still look back to the old monthly with regret. Especially do the English teachers who furnished the magazine with stories. The students, however, are unanimously in favor of the weekly. School news is always interesting, and in a weekly it is really news. Although a newspaper has little use for fiction, good stories can still find a place on the second page. Thus the Polaris tries to fill the needs of all. 86 LI92I □on POLAR I SOI Through the sporting page, a keen interest in the sports of the season, and a backing for the teams has been founded, 'flic front page has proved North to be a wide-awake school that has “something doing’ all the time. The second and third pages have furnished public opinion, fun columns, and interesting stories. For anything of interest, school or otherwise, there is a place in the Polaris, thus not only bringing the students of North closer together, but, through a friendly spirit, bringing the whole North Side into a family group working for the betterment of themselves and their community.

Arthur Krrkhoff 87 THE POETS’CLUB AST December the Poets’ Club was organized by a group of students who wished to explore the realms of poetry more deeply than the regular courses in literature permitted. The organization has been highly successful during the year, and the membership has been gradually increasing. Several poets have been studied during the year, including our most noted present-day poets, Amy Lowell, Sara 1 easdale, and others. The club has not confined its attention merely to studying the productions of standard poets, but it has encouraged its members to express their own thoughts and feelings in verse form. On April, the thirteenth, a program was given for the Junior and Senior Literary Societies. It consisted of poetry, essays, music, and a playlet in verse, all of which were original. The club was assisted by members of Mr. Bcrquist’s harmony class, who composed the music. Poems were recited by Myrna Nash, Julia Thomas, Alice Walkup and Lillie Lamb. Essays were read by Marion Carleson, Alice Sturman. Helen Johnson and Adele Goldberg. A song, “The Soul of You ’ written by Julia Thomas, was sung by Miss Sherman. The music was composed and played by Lillian Ellis. Bernice Dickerman gave a pianologue, “Little Comrade of Mine.” the words of which were written by Julia Thomas and the music by Bernice Dickerman. The last number on the program was a playlet in verse, “Love in a Garden. written by Margaret Wharton.

Marian Cnrlcson, Marian Standfeldt THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS AST September, a class in seventh English was organized. It so happened that only girls joined this class, and because of this fact, an organization was formed known as the “Alerts. The meetings were held every day during the regular English period, and the questions discussed were those which were especially interesting to the women citizens. According to the constitution, this organization was to dissolve at the end of the term, and so the members decided to give a banquet in order to let the girls at North know what they had accomplished. Miss Kneubuhl, the State Director of Political Education, spoke to the girls, and suggested that there he organized at North a Junior League of Women Voters to he affiliated with the League of Women Voters. Miss Kneubuhl’s suggestion was received with enthusiasm; therefore at the beginning of the next term, the Junior League of Women Voters was organized as a section of the Senior Girls League. The members at once started to plan for the work to be done. It was decided that two scrap-books would he kept, one for clippings concerning the work of the State legislature, and the other for National affairs. 90 1 1 92 |i m POLARIS' 01 -J To heighten the interest in the scrap-book, the members were divided into two sections. One. with Ruth Genung as the leader, was to take charge of the scrap-book on State affairs. The other side, which as to prepare the National affairs, was lead by Marie Aftrieth. At the end of the year, the lx oks are to he judged, and the winning group is to be entertained at a party given by the other side. On March 11. the members went on a hike. The wind blew very hard and it was cold, but sandwiches, candy, peanuts, kodaks and happy dispositions made the event a success. It is the aim of the Junior League of Women Voters to offer to the girls at North a chance to learn about the affairs of the world, preparing them to become good citizens and intelligent voters. The officers for the past two terms have been as follows: President, Marian Carleson; vice president, Lillie Lamb; secretary and treasurer, Marian Stanfeldt; faculty adviser. Miss Crittenden. Jeanette Mitchell. Bernice Swanson KITING 77.1 words in ten minutes, without an error, Bernice Swanson has passed the official L’nderwood Accuracy test. She has won the silver medal for writing 76 words net a minute for ten minutes. Bernice has written over 60 words a minute without error, at the same time replying in sentences to ten ques-tions, one of them being the spelling of “psychology. Jeanette Mitchell has passed the Accuracy lest, writing 66 words per minute without error. She has also passed the sixty-word test given by the I'nderwood. All North’s typists do her honor. There are 110 who have passed the forty-word test, and 7 who have passed the sixty-word test. Mrs. Browns classes are to be commended for their speed as well as accuracy. 91 F. Topham A. Sturman II.

Some splendid talks were given in the Library, in the afternoons, to groups of girls interested in special lines of work. Miss Wood, principal of the Kindergarten School in Minneapolis, gave a fine lecture on the preparation for girls who wish to become kindergarten teachers. Miss Marsh, an ardent worker among the blind, told the girls of her work in Minneapolis. Miss Kncubuhl, State Director of Political Education, spoke to the girls in the auditorium on Future Women Voters.” Under her supervision, a new club was organized, called The Junior League of W omen Voters. Among a number of other good speakers was Miss Margaret Wells, who spoke to the girls on “The Woman’s Place in Politics.” The girls tried to carry out the “big sister movement” toward the Freshmen in helping them to become acquainted with the building and program of the school. In order to promote a spirit of comradeship a party was given for their benefit. A number of other parties were given during the year which were enjoyed by all. The Faculty adviser of the League is Miss Leet. 92 Sigma Delta Chi IGMA DEI-TA CHI was organized in June, 1920, under the direction of Miss Marian Gould. The Club elected as its officers, Dorothy Davis, president; Racheal Russ, secretary; Dorothy Galbraith, treasurer. The purpose of the Club is to stimulate an interest in dramatics among the girls and to serve the Girls League. The girls do not profess to be exceptionally talented, but they do desire to gain a letter knowledge of dramatics. The initial program was given under the auspices of the Girls’ League, and consisted of a short one-act play. The Doll Shop, written by one of the members, Dorothy Galbraith. The Club also gave a Sunlight Dance for the December Seniors, and entertained the Booth Tarkington Club, Junior Girls’ League division, at a party on April 27. A one-act play, “Joint Owners in Spain,” was presented. The work this year has l een mainly that of organization, but all of the girls expect to accomplish big things in the dramatic line next year. 93 IS POLARIS || hr 1 21 ; H M. Anncxntcd. M. Rrichl. E.

They have studied modern dramatists and had many interesting meetings. Soon after their organization they chose Booth Tarkington as their patron and named the club for him. Good times were not forgotten either; at several meetings a social hour for the club members was held in the girls’ gymnasium. Utter the S. D. C.’s entertained the club with an interesting program, a dance and refreshments. However, the most interesting feature of this year’s work was the presentation of a Grecian festival, “The Apple of Discord, on the school lawn. This was given especially for the S. D. C.’s and light refreshments were served. The girls in Grecian robes represented Grecian dancers, Grecian musicians, and gods at a feast. With the northwest lawn as a setting, the picture presented was a beautiful one. Three of the girls presented before the other members of the club the play, “Food. They repeated the play for the Norse Club and again at the program given by the Senior girls for the Freshmen girls. The girls are hoping to put on a play next fall, for the benefit of the whole school. The Club officers for the year have been the following: President, Margaret McCaslin; vice president, Bessie Sheckman; secretary and treasurer, Ruth Johnston. 94 0921 POLAR ISO 01 Cecil Richman Klhel I.uby Krma llaalantl Rosalia Lawrence Miss Kaufman Leonard Rucklin Florence Miller Alice Megrlkoch THE JUNIOR ADVERTISING CLUB HE Junior Advertising Club was organized under the leadership of the Senior Advertising Club of Minneapolis. At the first meeting, held in the mayor’s reception room in the Court House, a constitution was adopted which provided that meetings he held twice a month and that each accredited high school in the city might have ten members of this club. Mr. J. B. Bushnell of the Industrial Press and Mr. C. H. Ferguson, president of the Senior Advertising Club and of the Northwest Division, stated that the object of the Junior Club is to give young people interested in advertising an opportunity to learn something about it by means of lectures and demonstrations given by leading advertsers of the state. Stephen Winslow of Central High was elected president, Helen McMillan of East, secretary, and a vice president from each high school was elected. Ethel Luby is North High's vice president, and Miss Kaufman is faculty adviser. Mr. Bushnell is the sponsor. The Bureau of Engraving, the Industrial Press, and the Senior Advertising Club have provided them with excellent speakers. An interesting lecture was given by the manager of the Standard Clothing Company. On March 15th the officers and faculty sponsors were the dinner guests of the Senior Advertising Club at the Radisson Hotel. Men who are advertising experts say that this Junior Club will accomplish a great deal by giving the aspiring young advertiser some knowledge of his work— a knowledge which formerly could be obtained only by becoming an apprentice. 95 SCENES FROM DRAMATIC CLUB PROGRAM MAY 6th 96 1; POLARIS mar— IP2I 3 1 |] L1921 P 0 LAR1 sal I —ILJ Dramatic Club X 1( 20 the Dramatic Club was organized by Miss Laura A. I lenry. Tryouts were held and about 30 had the required ability and were admitted as members. Vacancies caused by graduation of members are filled by the admission of new members. Any student with passing grades may try out for membership in the club. The purpose of the club is to furnish good entertainments as well as to develop dramatic talent and a desire for good acting at North. The club has progressed unusually well and is doing some very interesting work under the able and enthusastic leadership of Miss Henry. It intends to keep up to the high standard it has set for itself. Several entertainments, showing almost professional talent in the club, have been given in the past year. The object of the organization is not only to furnish amusement but also to present to the listener some lasting impressions of an every-day truth. It is this aim, perhaps, that has made the club so popular. The plav, Six W ho Pass While the Lentils Boil, a whimsical presentation with a more serious underlying thought, was given Wednesday, November 24. in the Auditorium after school. The play was highly successful due to clever advertising by members of the club. Members taking part were: Joseph Hoffman. a very entertaining ballad singer; Marie Ryder, the prettiest of pretty queens: Waldo Hardell, who was cruel enough to wish to behead the queen; Arthur Kerkhof, a little boy who learns the value of truth in everything; Marcella Peterson, a most captivating milk-maid; Harry Cotton, a blind man who teaches the little boy the value of truth, and Charles 1 laight. who proved a very clever juggler. The humor of the play was so natural and the pathos so simply sincere that everyone judged the performance excellent. “Back of the Yards,” a more serious presentation, was given March 21 in the auditorium. Zenas Havstad took the p irt of the patient priest, who tries to correct the weak-willed boy. Eldon Mason took this latter part remarkably well. Della Shapleigh gave a very good impersonation of the Irish mother, and Rosalia Lawrence stirred the audience with her clever acting of the loyal Irish girl. Leonard Buck 1 in, in the minds of many, was the star of the performance. He threw himself wholly into the interpretation of the roughly honest policeman. The play is a remarkable character sketch, bringing out the weaknesses of human nature in such a way as to command the attention of the audience. 97 rp.o LARIS IP2IQ DI DRAMATIC CLUB II.

It has constant control and supervision of the school scenery and stage. Its work and efforts of the past need not be commented upon as its perpetual success has been displayed in the results of various entertainments staged throughout each year. As far as credit for their efforts is concerned, they are practically in the boots of the basket-hall manager. He does the dirty work. and yet the fruits of his la! ors are not recognized openly because he does not perform in public. Due credit should Ik given these active workers and their able manager who invest hours of their valuable time for the lienefit of the school. Three cheers for the stage force!

It was organized last year, and is still continuing to carry out its purpose of interesting the student in the study of Norse literature, and creating an interest in and an appreciation of its music. Its membership is open to all students of the Norse departments who desire to promote the welfare of the club. The organization now consists of approximately forty-five members. During the year, under the leadership of the presidents, Julian Sletton, Nina Draxtcn and Alice Klagstad. and the faculty adviser, Miss Pauline Farseth, the club has rendered several interesting programs, one of which was given at South High. It is hoped that the Vikings will continue their good work in the future. SIGVOLD QUOLE DECLAMATORY CONTEST HI ! big event of the Norse Department is the annual declamatory contest. I'he winners of this contest are given a Sigvold Ouole silver medal. Sixteen contestants were listed in the local contest. Edna Eidem and Esther Soli received the medals and Cyrus Ostcrbus was given honrable mention. The winners of this contest were eligible to enter the Gold Medal contest which was also held at North. Our girls were not able to capture the gold medal because the majority of those competing were College or University students. However, Edna Eidem did win a place.

This has been due to the fact that it is as yet a new organization, having been in existence for scarcely a year. Interest, a vital factor to the success of any organization. has not lieen aroused. It requires time to evolve a plan of proceeding, which will make those eligible for membership interested in its yearly program and eager to advance the aims and purpose of the club. 1 lowever. an interesting program has been carried out. December 11 the club played its part in a program given at Central High by the combined Scandinavian societies of four high schools. The program was a great success and the audi-torum was tilled to the limit of its seating capacity. Shortly after that a social function was given to all members of the club. Shortly after the party a program was given by the two Scandinavian societies of this school to similar organizations at South. Refreshments and dancing followed, making it an enjoyable evening for members of the clubs representing both schools. In addition to these, the business meetings of the club have also been very interesting. Judging from the efforts of this year the Iduna Club is expected to play a very active part in the school life. 102 E 1921 P 0 LAR f SO Kima Haalund Anna Thlc Marie Worrd Tobic MandeUtam Alice Mrniceikocn Jeanne I)'Arc RLEZ-YOUS Francais?

All the meetings are carried on entirely in French. No one is allowed to speak a word of English without paying a fine of five cents; any one absent twice in succession without a legitimate excuse is dropped from the society. Having such talented musicians and readers as Tobie Mandelstam. Zelda Levine. Marie Worrell, Alice Eagan, and Elizabeth Colp—not to mention the no less gifted members—the club, under the guidance of Mrs. Whittet. has presented delightful programs. During the second quarter of the year the Jeanne d’Arc gave a party to which visitors were permitted to come. The entertainment was of such a ghostly nature as to include telepathy tricks, and chair raising with one finger. Fortunately, the delicious refreshments brought the Mediums down to earth again.

It has a personnel of forty members and is under the direction of Mr. R. 'I'. Tenney. The orchestra is always on hand for any school event, such as class-plays, being a great factor in promoting the success of musical productions. This year, it has played for the opera, “Yokohama Maid.” and the cantata. “Hiawatha.” besides playing for the Senior Vaudeville and the Class-play. The future outlooks of the orchestra arc very bright. A second orchestra, which is fully as large as the first, serves as a stepping stone to the first orchestra. It is quite unusual for a second orchestra to have two cellos and three violas, such as this one has. As members from the first orchestra graduate from school their positions are not left vacant, but they are filled by members from the second orchestra. The second orchestra of today is the first orchestra of tomorrow. LUNCH COMMITTEE Mr� .KclloKK. Supervisor 106 SECOND ORCHESTRA Mr. R. T. Tenney.

Although the club has not done as much outside work as it did last year, the quality and volume of the voices have increased greatly. According to a statement made by a musical director of another city high school, the singing of the club was the most harmonious that he had ever heard. The club started its good work early last fall, and by its effort was able to help put on “Yokohama Maid.” In this opera, the girls singing and dancing, for which they practised hours and hours without complaining. helj ed very much to make the opera the success that it was. In the late spring, the Girls’ Glee Club helped to put on “Hiawatha, a delightful cantata, with the aid of the Boys’ Glee Club and a special chorus. The chorus and solo work were beautiful, all the voices blending in jierfect harmony. At a banquet, given by the Polaris Weekly Staff, an octet from the club gave two selections which were appreciated by all. They were “Mv Rosary. and “My Little Cotton Dolly. As a whole the club through its hard work and efforts has truly earned its title of one of the best organizations in the northwest. The girls in the club practiced on the average of four times a week, and sometimes it was not unusual to practice five times a week and some evenings. Much credit is due to the second Girls’ Glee Club, which, though it did not take an active part in the operas, gave the club all the backing it could. It. too. when it was not possible to Ik present in a lnxly, was always with the first club in spirit. This alone did much to make the work of the first club worthy of high honors. 112 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB A. Wagner, ('. Chovinard. C. Grower. Z. Marquardt, N. Hunt, T. Sebreeder, M. Wenger, F. Sivyer, D.

The beginnng « f the fall term found the Cadet Corps a unit of the R. (). 'f. C. Previously the Corps had operated under War Department general .orders 43. I’ndcr that system arms and ammunition was furnished. During the late fall and winter close order drill was practiced in the gymnasium. With the coming of warm weather, extended order drill and skirmish work was taken up. At the spring camp, which began on May 18th and lasted four days, all types of drill including formal guard mount and sentinel duty were practised. The camp was held at Fort Snelling and was an all-city affair. At present North has four companies of platoon strength ami a hand. Each company has three officers and several non-commissioned officers. As in the past. Major Tom Fox and Major McWadc have been in charge. Sergeant Ramshart has been in charge of the local (Fill work. 115 Hi-Y Club ELDOM, in the history of the 'Y” club, has there been such worth while activities as witnessed in the past year in this organization. The members believe their services have not been rendered in vain, in the attempt to bring before their fellow students the standards and ideals which should be maintained by our high school. Coming back to school last fall with a definite, outline of work in view, the club has been able to develop a hitherto uncovered feeling of school and personal pride among the students. September found the club members desi erately attempting to break through a heavy barrier of obstacles which tended to hamper them in promoting these ideals; November found them elated over already noticeable changes. Always keeping in mind those words which mark true greatness, “Let him who would be greatest among you, be the servant of all. ' the members found absolutely no ill feeling against the club on the part of the school, mainly because the Hi-Y meml ers did not place themselves on a pedestal al ove their schoolmates. In a word, the Hi-Y club exists for the sole purpose of performing some needed service and not to gain reward for those services. The plea of those who leave our school this June and of those who have left is. that those who remain will carry on the interests of our high school to a height far surpassing any previous effort.

EX T K M POR AN KOUS C( � N TEST A N TS Harold lloltcn Avner Rakov Coach Saxby Sam Weinstein Charles M.irguli Julius Eben Stephen Pawleeyn Helen Acker Dorothy Davis James Clark The Debate Team FTER liis disastrous football year of 1920, Doctor Williams, of the University of Minnesota, stated that he had never known such a satisfactory team. C. L. Saxby uses the same expression in referring to the debate teams of the last season. Although each time the decision was unfavorable, it was also apparent that their opjxments had never met with such stiff opposition. At the beginning of the season. North assumed the question given out by the debate team, that of the “Open vs. Closed shop. In entering the competition for the state championship, the debate team had to combat two things, the prejudice on the question and the prejudice against a big city school by our smaller town opponents. The league schedule of the year had not been properly enforced as to dates. When Milaca demanded the choice of place and gave North the choice of sides. North could do nothing, but debate the “closed shop side in foreign territory. After the North speakers, Dorothy Davis. Harold Hoben and Arthur Anderson held the home audience with a well executed and excellently delivered attack, the vote of two men was rendered against them. No one was more surprised at this decision than the Milacan warriors. North had been forced to succumb to thr prejudice of the question and of that against a big city school. Recovering rapidly from the blow that eliminated them from the league, the debate squad searched in other fields for a question. The problem of immigration seemed suited for their needs. 119 CBD'EARTS IP2ID a The North High Debate Squad of 1921 did an unprecedented act. They changed the question midway in the season and debated three times within fifteen days. 'Fen of these, were devoted to getting acquainted with the question and settling upon attack for Duluth. The spirit of the squad at this time is exemplified in the work of Avncr Rakov who showed untiring loyalty, such as is the true spirit of North High School. North met Duluth on April 5. On the Minneapolis team were Luverne Scagren, Harold Hohcn and Arthur Anderson; representatives for Duluth were James Clark, Dorothy Davis and Helen Acker. The teams were vanquished respectively by the scores of 2 to 1 and 3 to 0. The individual stars were Arthur Anderson and Helen Acker. Duluth must be commended for very excellent sportsmanship. Out of defeat comes development. North High met Macalester College on April 15 after five days’ preparation preceding the third changing of the question during the season. (Changed from prohibition of immigration to restriction.) Such an excellent contest has never before been witnessed in North High. North was represented by a constellation of three stars, the best that it was capable of producing, Dorothy Davis, Arthur Anderson and Helen Acker. The judges voted two to one in favor of Macalester. Popular sentiment was divided, however. They had stood such blows previously and this one was even easier to l ear with the realization that they had scored one vote from a team that had always received a unanimous decision. North never held the issue in doubt from the beginning of Dorothy Davis’ excellent, superior, introductory speech to Helen Acker’s smashing and logical rebuttal. So the North High Debate team has erected from the ashes of defeat a record of undying glory, a reputation for sheer, tenacious grit. Yet any commendable work which this squad has done is due directly to the unceasing effort of Coach C. L. Saxby.

Its purpose was to advance the knowledge of the members in scientific subjects. The organization flourished up until the war broke out. One may read in the minutes of April 10. 1917, that the members were notified during their meeting that the government had ordered the dismantling of the wireless apparatus. This was the first step toward the disorganization of the club. In the minutes of a later meeting one sees the official disbanding of the club, because so many memliers had left for the service of Army or Navy. In the fall of nineteen hundred nineteen an attempt, which was a complete failure, was made to re-establish the Scientific Club. The failure came from inexperienced executives and very poor support from the members. Meetings were disorganized and much discussion about a constitution revived any hope of a Scientific Club. Meetings dwindled to a zero value in June. 1920. In October, 1920, we saw the club come to life again, this time never to die. A constitution was carefully framed by the new executives who quickly submitted and had it accepted by those incorporated as the New North High Scientific Club. Since then every meeting has been a success. A speaker is provided for every meeting. Novel stunts are introduced every now and then. Attendance at the meetings is very good, showing that the meetings arc not lacking things of interest. ) 121 [ ££ LAR I S m IP2I 01 uL R. Mill. Mc('a lin. C. Molmrtrn. Mis Thompnon. H. Kauar. I.

She has proved a very active member during the short time she has been in the troop. Either a business or an outdoor meeting has been held every week. At the indoor meetings, they studied for the Public Health badge and did other things towards class tests or badges. During January and February basket ball was played, and hikes were taken at various times throughout the year. December 26 they had a Christmas party at the Scout cabin at Edge wood. A better time could not be had. At least, that is what all thought until the troop’s birthday was celebrated, February 26, at the same place. Memorial Day was also spent there, and as it is to become the summer camp, it has been reserved for the troop for the first week after school closes. A continual good time docs not mean that no work is done. The troop boasts of one Golden Eaglet, one Medal of Merit, sixty-four badges, one first class scout, eleven second class, five tenderfeet and four who have not. as yet, passed any test. Members of the troop have attended classes in First Aid, Child Nursing, and Home Nursing. Miss Thompson, Troop captain, keeps an account hook in which she records | oints gained bv attending weekly meetings, IHiig on time and in uniform, paying dues on time, getting badges and gaining points for class tests, doing headquarters service, and community work. At Christmas food and clothing were given to a needy family. At dfferent times girls have gone to Unity House to take care of the playroom. They welcome calls for service for “a Girl Scout’s duty is to l e useful, and help others.” 122 D 1921 | 5 5111 P 0 LAR 1 SO 1 J C OXARTS ill'D L? % f f 4 i ■ i -f i_ Vauceville Bull ri ATHLETICS 125 l')20 FOOTBALL STATISTICS A . r Kennedy, Coach Glenn Jackson.

Only one game was lost, but that is not the point stressed by the percentage artists in summarizing the season's showing. They insist upon using cold figures which betray the fact that although the North eleven was defeated by but one Conference opponent, it was victorious over none. Tie games with Central, West, and East make the Blue and White 1920 football record anything but a satisfactory one for the North players and their followers to review. It is not desired to offer in this review any excuses for victories not won. The North team was a hardworking. smooth-running, and well-organized machine which up to the final game of the schedule kept a place at the front in the closest and most thrilling football race in the history of the Minneapolis High School Conference. At the beginning of the school year chances for a winning team were bright. The squad was large, and its members worked hard. Approximately half of the 1919 team was on hand. The coaches were openly optimistic. The opening game with Dun woody on October 1st brought forth early season weaknesses, of course, but it also showed that the Blue and White possessed considerable power both on offense and defense. A multitude of substitutions was made by the coaches, and so the 20-2 score is not indicative of the strength of the eleven which started the contest. The following week the Red and Black, of St. Paul Central, was encountered on Shaw Field at Macalester College. Showing improvement as a result of lessons learned in the Dunwoody struggle. North took the long end of a 21-0 count. North entered its first Conference game on October 15th with Central as an opponent. Odds were with the Blue and White, Central having been downed by South the preceding week. North outplayed Central a good share of the time for three quarters. Hall, Central's fighting captain, prevented any consistent North offense from getting under way, however. In the final period, the Blue and White came through with a piece of offensive work which should have won the game. Taking the ball on their own 18-yard line, the North men moved steadily up the field to Central’s 13-yard mark. Here Central, realizing that but a few moments of play were left, stiffened its defense, and Mason tried a drop kick. The ball bounded back from the cross bar, and Central punted out of danger on the next play. The game ended almost immediately, neither team having scored. Levitt 128 In the second Conference game. North outplayed West even more decisively than it had outplayed Central, but another tie game resulted, the score on this occasion being 7-7. North scored in the first period with little difficulty, using an offensive based on delayed passes. Captain Levitt carried the ball to West’s 4-yard line in the second period, after recovering a fumbled punt. North took the ball over the goal line on the second play following the run, but it was brought back and a penalty for pushing inflicted on the Blue and White. A fumble on the next play spoiled any remaining chances to score on that occasion. Late in the fourth quarter West blocked one of Mason’s punts, and lined up in possession of the ball on the Blue and White 25-yard mark. )n the first play, Remington hurled a pass over the goal line to Kuhlmann. The goal was made, and the score remained unchanged during the few minutes of play which were left. A week later North played its third consecutive tie game, this time dividing honors with East. The Cardinal outplayed North during the first quarter, although threatening to score at no time. In the second period, North plowed the East line for long gains, and scored just before the half ended. Mason failed to kick the goal. East came back strong when playing was resumed in the third quarter, and in 10 minutes had rolled up 13 points as a result of clever forward passing. The game was marred by considerable wrangling and frequent delays, and darkness set in before the fourth period was well under way. In the fast gathering gloom, Levitt and Mason tore off two long runs which left the ball on East’s 3-yard line. On a shift play, Levitt dropped back from the line and carried the ball for North’s second touchdown. Mason kicked the goal, which brought the count up to 13 all. Darkness had set in to such an extent that further play was impractical. With 3 minutes of play left, Captains Almquist and Levitt agreed to call the game. In the final contest of the season. North met its only defeat. South had played no game the week before, and was in excellent shape for the struggle. No team in the Conference played at any time during the season even close to the form displayed by the Orange and Black on that occasion. At the opening of the game, Seagren returned the kick-off 30 yards to the middle of the field. From this | oiiu the Blue and White marched to South’s 15-yard line. Here the latter held, and took possession of the ball. At this juncture, Pcrlich was removed by the officials for alleged roughness. Shortly afterward Mason sustained a broken knee ligament, and was forced to leave the game. 1 he loss of these men disrupted the Blue and White eleven which had started the game so strongly, and South stood at no time in any danger of being defeated. The very effective defensive playing of Cheese and White held the Orange and Black to one touchdown until late in the third period. Then 14 points were rapidly gathered as a result of two intercepted North forward passes. Clevc boosted his team’s score to 24 points with a beautiful drop kick from the 25-yard line. In the closing minutes of play, Swanln-ck took a long forward pass from Clevc. and raced over the goal line at the corner of the field. The extra point was added, the final count being 31-0. 129 ALL-CITY SELECTIONS Minneapolis Journal 1'IRST Team Second Team Cheese .... Left End South Wick Levitt • •. .. North ... . ...

In this they were quite justified. Four letter men were back from the strong 1020 aggregation. Among the remaining members of the squad were several players with considerable experience. The team got away to a good start at the opening of the schedule. It was a typical Kennedy five which opposed Farmington in the first game, one which used a fast-forming defense and which depended on short underhand passes and fast floor work for baskets rather than on shots of any great length. Farmington did not display the ability which had almost won for the out-of-town tossers in their game with North the year before, and at no stage of the game was the result in doubt. The excellent playing of Worrell pleased the fans, the veteran forward showing clearly that his illness of last season had caused him no permanent setback. North was fully as much superior to Farmington as the 35-10 score would indicate. Just before the opening of the Xmas holidays, North met and defeated Dunwoody on the institute Moor. The defensive playing of Cheese, the only newcomer to the team, was encouraging, and the North offense was very smooth for an early season contest. Although upward of a dozen North players took part in the game. Dunwoody was unable to check the Blue and White scoring, the final count being 21-0. North opened its Conference season on the home floor on January 7th. winning from South by a 21-4 score. Remembering the slaughter at the hands of South to which he had led his football men, Levitt outdid himself in smothering the attack of the Orange and Black. But one point was registered by Captain Swanbeck and his followers during the final three quarters. West furnished the opposition in North’s second Conference game, the struggle taking place in the Green and White gymnasium. The first quarter was the only period in which North demonstrated any marked superiority, although West scored but one field goal up to the final 40 seconds of play. In these last moments of the game the Blue and White men confused signals on tip-off plays, permitting West to dribble right up to the basket for a pair of easy goals. The gun ending the game found North leading. 19-12. At the close of the following week the Dunwoody team was defeated on the North floor by a score of 21-12. As in the West game, the defense of the North five proved superior to its offense. Dunwoody scored almost exclusively on long shots, some of the goals netted by the institute boys being of an extremely sensational nature. REVIEW Mason in street clothes 136 I_1921 m 0[ POLAR IS 01 Following the Dun woody game, illness kept both Mason and Worrell from school for nearly a week. Both players returned to the line-up for the East game, but did not perform in their usual style. East put up a rugged battle, taking advantage of North’s disorganized condition. The first half closed with the count 8-4, North leading. In spite of the closeness of the score, Coach Kennedy refused to allow Mason and Worrell to continue playing. Levitt was sent to the sidelines in the third period when a fourth personal foul had been called upon him. leaving a flock of Blue and White substitutes to stave off the advances of the Cardinal. With the latter but 2 points behind and some 5 minutes of play remaining, the result was very much in doubt. Shortly before the close of the game, however, Houck dropped a counter, and Anderson followed directly with another. The final score was 17-11. Great interest was attached to the North-Central game played on February 4th on the floor of the Red and Blue. Neither team having been defeated, a tremendous crowd gathered to witness the clash. Central was in better physical condition, and won out 17-12. North trailed by a lone point at half time, and led the Red and Blue most of the third quarter. The break came in the last period when Levitt and Worrell were forced to the sidelines, the former suffering from an injury and the latter thoroughly exhausted as a result of his recent illness. Although quite disappointed over North’s defeat, the Blue and White backers could scarcely condemn the showing made by their team. The next week found Mason confined to his bed, likely as a result of having played through the entire Central game in a weakened condition. South was met and defeated on the Orange and Black floor in a freakish game. Both teams played wretched ball. South failed to obtain a single field goal. North made but one. The 7-6 score will likely stand as the most unique in Minneapolis high school lKiskcthall for some time to come. The real upset of the season from a North point of view was the Blue and White defeat at the hands of West on the North floor on February 18th. Mason was still on the sick list, and Winter, who had been coached in his position, was out of the game with an in jured leg. The North defense, which had held up nobly against all attacks in previous games, crumbled to bits in the third quarter. West ran up a lead of 9 points in this period. North came back strong in the last frame, but fell short of West’s mark by 2 points, the game ending 17-15 in favor of the Green and White. A week later, no Conference game being scheduled. Stillwater was encountered on the North floor. Although holder of the title in their district, the prison city aggregation was no match for the North five. Mason set a high mark in basket shooting with 9 goals. With substitute defensive men in the game for North. Stillwater increased its count somewhat in the last quarter. The Red and Black team was, however, outclassed at all times, finishing on the short end of a 41-20 score. 137 E IZP.O LARIS m 1 20 North made its last appearance at home on the following hriday, Central furnishing the opposition. A huge crowd filled every nook and corner of the gymnasium. North lost in a heart-breaking struggle by a score of 18-16. I he Blue and White played faster and better basketball than their opponents , but did not shoot with quite the accuracy which characterized the tossing of the Central men. Anderson stood out in this game as in no other, getting a pair of field goals and making good on four of six chances at the free throw mark. As in the first Central game. North led at the end of the first period and trailed by one point at the close of the second. Each team made six points in the third frame. Toward the close of the game both North and Central resorted to tight defensive play. Central got one point in the last quarter, Edwards Hinging a free throw. North did not score, although having possession of the ball a good share of the time and hitting the rim of the goal on several occasions in desperate attempts to tie the score. The game with East on the following Tuesday wound up the season for the Blue and White. The clash was staged on the unpopular South floor, and was witnessed by few North fans. North was always in the lead. East's only baskets being of the extremely lucky variety. The first half ended 13-4, and the game 26-8. It was a keen disappointment to North’s coach, backers, and players not to win the 1921 title. It was especially disappointing for the reason that illness of the team’s captain during the time when critical games were l eing played wrecked the Blue and White pennant hopes for the second consecutive year. L-ast season Captain Worrell was missing from the ranks for four weeks right in the heart of the schedule, North losing a tie for the title in a 15-13 game on Central’s floor during his absence. Central trimmed St. Paul Central for the district championship, and won the state tournament at Carleton College without encountering anything like the opposhion North gave her. With only two letter men returning, prospects for another year are not bright. There should be no less support accorded the squad next year than there was this year. With the dark outlook it will be needed more than ever. 138 P 0 LAR1 SC ALL-CITY SELECTION’S First Team Minneapolis Journal Second T F.A M Worrell .East Meili ...West ... Edwards Levitt .Central ....

The team got away to a poor start, as the record of the 1920 games shows. Inability to hit the ball with men on bases was the principal weakness during the early part of the season, although the faults that glared out during that time were numerous. However, the long, hard, and regular practices upon which Coach Kennedy insisted Nvere bound to show results, and the team followed the loss of its first two games with three consecutive victories. This run of wins sent North from the cellar positon to second place. The position was held for the remainder of the season, although by its unexpected defeat of South in the final game of the schedule the Central team climbed into a tie for runner-up honors. The features of the season were the excellent playing of the South team, which shot quickly into the lead and was never headed, and the evenness with which the other teams in the Conference were matched. The Blue and White nine was set back to some extent in the middle of the season by the loss of Yerkey, who had shown himself to be one of the best infielders in high school baseball. He reached his twenty-first birthday at the close of the first round of games. Although playing in but four contests. Yerkey placed second in the Conference in the number of bases stolen. Had he played the schedule through, there is little doubt that he would have beaten out Cleve of South, who led with sixteen thefts. North had six men with a percentage of over two hundred in batting, and Pierson and Mason finished third and fourth in the Conference list. Keegan of South was the only player to hit safely in every Conference game. Hale of Central hit safely in seven straight games, but an injury kept him from the Red and Blue line-up in the final contest. Cleve and Swanson of South both hit safely in seven consecutive games, but, unlike Hale, played in every tilt. Cleve failed to get a hit in the opening game of the Orange and Black schedule, while Swanson was unable to connect safely in the last one. Cheese was North's most consistent hitter. The big catcher swung safely in the first five games, which was the longest consecutive stretch oi hitting done by a Blue and White player. Figures show that the North battery fielded without an error, and but one outfield error was made. Bank dropped a fly late in the season playing against a strong sun. Although the infield made its share of errors during the season, it finished the schedule strong, playing errorless ball against West in the final game and throwing in two double plays for good measure. Si routs in street clothes 144 Li 921 POLARIS o Six letter men will l e available for the 1021 nine, and it is to be hoped that this team will make a superior showing. A strong practice schedule will undoubtedly be a feature of the 1021 campaign. This important element was lacking in North’s 1020 season, and counted heavily against the team in the early games of the regular schedule. In conclusion, let an earnest plea be made for support from the student body for the North team and the national game, moral support as well as support of a financial nature.

At times their | erformances were very gratifying to their followers. At other times their showing was a distinct disappointment all around. North was quite reliably represented in the dashes and weights through the efforts of Sperling and Gross. In the middle distances and hurdles, the Blue and White colors were carried by inconsistent performers. The work of Kolderie and Ryberg in these events was splendid on some occasions, but far below expectations on others. Both should be invaluable during North's 1921 season. .North, as a rule, showed fairly well in vaulting and relay racing, but was weak in jumping. A review of the meets held in 1920 shows that North was entitled to a rating of second in the high schools of Minneapolis. The West squad was far and away better than any competition into which it ran. A dual meet between Central and North would have been very interesting, and might have shown Central to Ik. next to West in ability. However, no such meet was held. North's showing in the actual comi etition covering the season was superior to that of the Red and Blue. In the State Meet, St. Paul Central presented a well balanced team, but it was not capable of defeating West of Minneapolis. The North team showed letter in this meet than at any other time during the year. 147 IE.POLARIS IP2I .Afore credit goes to the men who placed unexpectedly than to those who placed performing no better than usual. Sperling and Gross got no more points than they were counted on to get. but Ryberg in the hurdles, T. Berman in the javelin, and Kolderie in the half mile got more points than the fans-thought they could acquire in a meet of such size. The work of the relay team, composed of S| erling. Dickinson. Ryberg and Lihman, also sprung a surprise in finishing second. The Minneapols City Meet started well, but rain spoiled it. Some events were staged only under the severest difficulty, and some were not undertaken at all. North put up a most feeble showing in view of the gallant Blue and W hite effort at Northficid a week previous. The meet was featured by the stellar work of Reed. Orange and Black quarter miler, and Cooper, Red and Blue sprinter, who surprised the crowd by winning over favorites in the four-forty and one hundred yard events. The high jump was concluded in a driving rain, this fact accounting for the number of men tying for points. The relay race was held between showers, but the inside of the track was covered with at least three inches of water. Good time was out of the question, the runners splashing around the track in a ludicrous fashion. CROSS-COUNTRY TRACK TKAM Frank Hobcn. Melvin Katon. Ronald Havstad Karl llloom. Theodore Kolderie.

Going up to the third door to see the freshmen is alxnit the same as going to the zoo to see the wild animals, with the slight difference that the zoo animals are caged as they ought to l e. while the freshies up to the present time arc still left to run around loose, which ought not to l e. When we l K)k at the monkeys in the zoo. it is hard for us mortals to admit that we are descended from them. In the same way, we seniors are not very anxious to remind ourselves that we were once like these cute freshmen. Why. the minute the 1k 11 for first lunch rings on the floor nearest the angels, the doors of every room burst open and streams of freshmen rush out as if hurrying from or to a fire. Any stray senior wandering around is sure to get caught in the mob, and buffeted and stepped on and trampled until the rush subsides. As for the freshmen girls, well, nothing need be said about them. Even if they, too, are queer creatures, as is certainly very evident, this fact should never he mentioned as it is always dangerous to discuss girls. The teachers are patient and long suffering, and to them is delegated the task of taming and training the freshmen. Their results may be shown by studying the sophomore. The Freshman Wail Sung to the tune of “The IVearers of the Green I’m only a freshman. So young and so new: You say Pm a baby, And true green clear through. Now lay off your knocking. Though I'm funny, tis true; Just think of this truth, sir. Once you were fresh, too. A Personally Conducted Journey Thru North High School Ladies and gentlemen, we arc now on the third floor. Yes, this is where the Freshmen are confined. It will l c best to watch your step, as they arc likel to Ret underfoot. Conte with me, and we shall take a look at P room. This sea of faces that you arc now surveying is very deceptive—we had better leave before we receive the spithalls which they are now preparing. North’s Freshmen this jear arc unusually light. The school ! oard has not yet had to rc-varnish the bannisters this year, owing to the fact that sliding has not worn them down so much. You want to go to the second floor? We will go immediately. Yes, you arc right, the air is a little too rarefied up here. Los H 160 11 1921 [ra[ POLARIS 1 l� i ' 1 E Pluribas Sophomoricus The Sophoir.ore is undoubtedly one of the most interesting forms of plant life which can be found in a well-conducted high school. 11 is Latin name in Honhedabus Nobranc, pronouncing all the ”( V long, and his formula is one full wit divided by two. I le is the symbol of Eternal Spring, and can always be found blossoming in the Park during lunch periods on sunny days. The day before the Freshman becomes a Sophomore, he puts on his first pair of long pants, which accounts for the fact that all new Sophomores go about with head downcast, seemingly surveying the ground. We say seemingly, because they are really surveying and admiring that part of the anatomy which lies between the knee and heel. Think what a cheerless waste this high school would be without its merry, bright-eyed Sophomores! Who then would wear the loud ties? Who then would put olive oil and vaseline on their hair? Who then would rag the Freshmen, gaze respectfully on the Junior, and offer homa je to the Senior? We knoweth Hottest. Song of the Sophomore Tunc: “The Long Note A Sophomore, minus his lesson. Went sadly to his class one day. l� ut his sadness was seen to lessen When told that the teacher was away. Chorus: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” This youngster was heard to bray, “That's why we love the teachers better. The days they stay away. Ah. and here we have the Sophomores!

Oh, that is merely because the Polaris Weekly is l eing issued. The Polaris Weekly comes out every once in a while, and no real work is done on such days. Look! A Sophomore studying! In all my years of showing tourists alwmt the school, I have never before seen a Sophomore studying in school. No one knows where they do their studying; some of the teachers claim they don’t do any. The hall is now empty, with the exception of ope student. Pardon me: it isn’t a student after all. It is Mr. Saxhy. 167 The Juniors The Juniors may truly he called the blossoming-out class. Here it is. at this period of change, that the young Sophomore pupils and pupilesses at last blossom out into real school life. The characteristic pigtails of the girls and the unruly mops of the boys give way on the one hand to huge, marcelled piles of gorgeous or semi-gorgeous tresses, stuffed with thq Lord knows what (we don’t), and on the other hand to slickly greased and parted scalps for the hoys. But they have none of the dignity which comes later on in their careers. The freshman spirit, although only a ghost of its former self, still survives in varying degrees, and no amount of fussing and primping can quite smother it. For no matter how changed Juniors may he in appearance, they still go to classes regularly, still remain “single,’’ except in a few “cases” where the parties concerned have been slightly in advance of their class, and they still come to school on time. ( f course, there is still hope for them, for when they are Seniors, they will remedy all these faults. What Made the June-Bug LafT, or, Why the June-Bug Laffed A Junior and a June-bug, Were walking one line day ; Said the Junior to the June-bug, “What makes you look so gay?” Said the June-bug to the Junior. “My face doth shine with glee. For every time 1 glance thy way, 1 half to laff. you see.” “Why do you haff to laff?” Said the Junior indignantly. “Because the poems in the Annual Are all called Poetry. This is the Library. You are now looking at more Juniors in one group than can he seen in any other part of the building. This library is almost full of Juniors, because the students in the lower cla.-scs do not know how to get here whenever they want to. and the Seniors never have time to come. Follow me, ladies and gentlemen, and we will take a look at the first floor. Yes. Joan of Arc is very popular today. You now see many prominent Juniors talking to many prominent Junior esses. Mr. Hobbs will soon chase them away. See?—he is coming out of the office now. See them scatter! But, Mr. Hobbs, wc arc visitors ! W hy. this is ridiculous ' Follow me. ladies and gentlemen. 168 10 _l 92 I POLARISG Aristocraticos The only difference between the Seniors and the Freshmen is two grades. A Senior can skip classes once in a while but a Freshman can’t. The reason a Senior never skips classes is because he’s so close to the narrow edge that he’d fail if lie did. The school manage-men gets us either way: when we re Freshmen we can’t skip, and when we are seniors and wise to the red tape, we don’t dare to, because we won’t graduate or something. It’s a dog’s life if you don’t weaken. A teacher who teaches mainly seniors can Ik spotted a block away. Their outstanding characteristic is an easy carelessness, a confident air. This is caused bv the immediate results which are obtained by telling a senior he won’t graduate unless he does this or that. If they want to get better results from a student whose graduation is certain (this case is very rare but must be included), they tell him he won’t get on the honor roll. To the freshman, the senior’s life is one long round of ease and joy, but not so Macbeth, not so. The Senior must keep an eye on his lessons, run all the activities, and take out his best girl on Friday nights. And nobody realizes he’s a Senior until Commencement night. Song of the Senior Tune: “Trotzky's Farewell. A Senior who sat in B-l, Mad a sweetheart who sat in B-2. The wall in between had a transom therein. Which the Senior would daily sing thru: Chorus. “Mathilda, will you marry me When Commencement Day is by? For 1 won’t care what happens, dear, After 1 leave North High. These long-faced, grave people that you see walking about the hall are Seniors. They look that way because they realize that it is their chief duty to uphold the dignity of the school. That fine, upstanding lad who is now passing us is known as the sweetest boy in the Senior class. What did you say? That line of students in the office? Yes, those are a few Seniors trying to get Mr. Gates to pass them on a Fail. Isn’t it strange how quiet Seniors are? Maybe they realize that they will soon have to work. Mr. Hobbs coming back? Follow me, ladies and gentlemen. 16 ) ZLP.Q LARIS lira Our Musicians When we speak of music we are touching on a very harmonious subject. We arc speaking, of course, in very general terms. If we were to descend to specific terms, such as the chorus classes and the girls glee club, perhaps the above statement would not be true. However, we must admit that the North High (Jrchestra is absolutely and without question the best orchestra in North High. That applies to the chorus classes as well. It has been said that the best conversationalist is lie who knows how to listen. I f such is the case, our chorus classes have some of the best singers in the world. Many a time we have seen Mr. Tenney wave his stick, shout All right, now—everybody! and there has been a beautiful duet. 'Hie duet is sung by Mr. Tenney and whoever he may be looking at at the time. Many people make a mistake about this and think Mr. Tenney is singing a solo, but we can assure you that the student he looks at invariably opens his mouth and makes the motions at least. There is another thing for which we should be thankful; how would we ever skip class if it were not for these Special Choruses? Ode to Ulysses Sung to tune of: “There’s Music in the Air ' When old Ulysses skimmed the sea, Where sang the sirens sweetly. He plugged the ears of his motley crew. And from music saved them neatly. O please, thou kindly Ulysses wise. Pray help us students at North; And plug our ears with soundless wax When the chorus in song bursts forth. And when the deafening orchestras Resound with classical—cord If thou wilt plug our ears with wax. Thou shah be fore’er adored. C mu in softly, ladies and gentlemen, this is the auditorium. Hist! The orchestra is now playing one of the most beautiful pieces in its reportcry. How exquisite! There is a tendency to depreciate or make fun of music, hut I think that there arc certain things which should not be laughed at. They arc now playing the overture to the death scene in Yokahama Maid. What? You say they are only tuning tip? Well, think how beautiful i . must Ik when they arc playing! Look out. everyone—don't he crushed! That was the hell for auditorium period: the Ukulele Club is about to give its annual program. 170 I 19 21 POLARIS 1 |LI ! Unfamiliar nx these people may look, they are very closely connected with the History of North. At the top we have a picture of the Faculty for the year 190S. Just below is a group of nonchalant Seniors looking bored. If our memory fail us not. they were Dad's Schoolmates in al oul 1885. This glimpte Into the past should have n steadying effect on our giddy generation. 171 Whenever there is an unusual disturbance or noise in the school, you can safely blame it on our various scientific classes. If you hear a frantic ringing of bells, it is only a sign that one of Mr. Hurd’s or Santee's classes is trying to find out if a dry battery will still ring a bell when the current is made to flow uphill. If the door of Room 4 flies off its hinges when you are passing, Ik not afraid: it merely means that Bert Kager has blown up a steam boiler that cost the Board of Education ten dollars—more or less. When you are forced to walk around in a blue haze, wearing a gas-mask, you may tell yourself that the Chemistry class is compounding a synthetic burnt-rubber antidote. But do not think that our scientists are purely destructive. Certainly not! Our Wireless Club put up a wireless apparatus that is absolutely guaranteed to have no wires. Many times it grabs hold of messages telling what weather the Weather Department has ordered for Minnesota! By consulting the bulletin hoard in front of the office, you can tell just exactly what weather we were supposed to have a day or so ago. Personally, we think that if it were not for the scientific department, the faculty quartet would he minus a very moving tenor. Aw, Reservoir, and Then Goodbye Tune: The Hosary. Let us sing the praises of a Senior tall, Let us shout his fame to the walls, For as brave a chemist as he. my hoys, Shall nevermore grace North's halls. One day as he dabbled in Chemistry, He said, when feeling flaccid, “I will put this chloride of potassium In this vial of nitric acid.” The joke’s on you : nothing happens. It is customary, at this point, to give gas-masks to the members of the expedition, hut as our gas-masks smell worse than the gas. the custom has been discontinued. Indies and gentlemen, please follow me into the Verdun sector. This is the Chemistry room. No, don’t let him tell you it's good drinking water. It is H3SO4. Look out. if you put your whole hand in that solution you’ll never get your whole hand out. Perhaps we had better leave the room before anyone is prostrated by the odor. Ah, now that we arc in the pure air, we shall take a trip to ihc Physics class. The whole class, as you s� c. is grouped at one end of the room. Mr. I bird has just explained the workings of an electric bell, and Arthur Burress is asking what makes it ring. 172 The Study of Nature If you want to study nature, to study the rain, the cold, the hot sunshine, the earth, and all other things pertaining to the great outdoors, become an athlete. Here the beauties of nature are revealed in their true light. The smiling sun, pouring down his hot rays upon the steaming backs of creatures as they run about on the athletic field, or sinking his welcome glare into the bleary eyes of “sun-fielders,” certainly is appreciated to the greatest degree. The soothing rain is drunk thirstily by the beautiful drooping dandelions that adorn the field, and also sends shivers down the once steaming backs of the toilers on the field. They thankfully receive a thorough drenching of cool rain as well as thorough drenchings of sweet compliments from the coach. The students of nature who receive the most compliments are named “hams ; those that receive fewer compliments are called “dubs,’’ and those who rarely receive these compliments are known as “stars.” All of them, the “hams, the “dubs, and the “stars, come into more or less close contact with our good friend, Earth. The closeness of contact is proportional to the size of nose, which accounts for the battered appearance of the countenances of some of the naturalists. • My Experience With Athletics, or.

There’s the gate, close it from the outside. 173 1 PiGiKTARlSi m o Future Captains of Industry The way to spot a commercial student is to follow him to his English or History class. If he is black and blue under the eyes and says he couldn't get his lessons last night, he is a student in the Commercial Course. We never saw one that looked like that, hut that’s the way they are supposed to look. The commercial student is the very height of list-lessiK ss in his common, or academic, classes, but Wow!— what a difference when he comes to Shorthand or Type! Even Mr. Gates, always after delinquents, is the depth of inefficiency beside these models of speed and accuracy. How do they do it? We don’t know. It has been stated, on reliable authority, that the average speed of our typists is more than two packages of gum per hour! In a contest last winter a North High commercial student won honors for our school by getting second place. A girl from South High beat her bv only half a stick! We must take such disappointments stoically: the thing to do is pat our contestant on the back and say, Well, let’s hope for better chewing next time.” Song of the Typist ()h, we are sweet stenographers, ()f speech we are photographers. It is now time To make a rhyme, So we’ll bring in telegraphers ( ?) You’ll never find us up a tree, For we were taught at North, you see ( !) Our Ijoss we’ll please. ()ur work he’ll seize. And we ll go home at half past three. Ladies and gentlemen, in this section wc have the l� est commercial department in the city. Let tis look through the door. Do you see how feverishly the students are writing? They are taking down Mr. Crawford's dictation in shorthand. Don’t distract them, or they will make a loop instead of hook or circle. Come into the room just across, and wc shall see our typists at work. Observe the easy, regular movement—of the jaws, acquired only after months of practise. And here is Miss Bernice Swanson, who won a nice useless medal for l� eating everybody on the—here comes Mrs. Brown to chase us out! Follow me. ladies 2nd gentlemen. 174 Exercitus We have an army here at North. It is a i ig one. Included in the equipment of this army are some so-called officers. The officers dress very prettily. 1 hey wear leather puttees and Buster Brown belts and cute little tin buttons on their shoulders and the Lr. S. army uniform when on duty. Once in a century or so some regular I . S. Army officers come down to North to help drill the army. They drop in. bawl out the army, dish out a few demerits, ami then drop out. At all other times the army is in the charge of a long-winded instructor called the drill-sergeant. He delivers a sermon every drill period while the army pays close attention to everything except what he is saying. Nevertheless the army does seem to absorb a little information and so they take part in competitive drills every year. Last year they showed great improvement over preceding years as they knocked off fourth place. This year they hope to do even better. It is confidently expected that in a few years the North High Army will look like soldiers. Battle Hymn of the Army My coat, it fits me like a sack. My pants, they're pretty baggy: My belt, she hugs me much too tight, My cap. he’s getting saggy. My rifle always hits my toe. My neighbor's does so, too: My shoulder's carried that gun so long It’s almost black and blue. But I won't kick at all these things, Not even if they harm me. For 1 can never, never forget. That I am in the army. On our right wc now have the boys gymnasium. The stentorian voice droning therefrom? Oh, that is merely the Drill Sergeant or Field Marshal or somebody giving his daily sermon on keeping the cap on straight. Shall we go in? Certainly. Ah. they are now going through the Manual of Arms. That yelp of pain came from that boy over there; he grounded his rifle on his toe. They are now maneuvering. Notice how skillfully they hit each other in the face with their rifles when they turn quickly! Isn't that a splendid sight? The whole army marching toward us en masse! Look out! My, wasn't that lucky? If he hadn’t said Halt” just then, the soldiers, in their blind obedience, would have trampled over us ;.nd gone on through the brick wall. 175 1 m 0 inic P O EAR I S ‘[|lr ' ip21 “ L ma J _ A Modern Fable of the Junior That Changed His Mind IVith profuse afobgics to Lemon's brother, George Ade Once upon a Time there was a )xzzy Junior. He was about as Fast as they Make Them, ami they get out some Speedy Models nowadays. He always Roared Along with his Cutout wide open, and he was a Big Noise in the School. 'Hie Teachers didn’t seem to Take to Him any more than the Law Allowed, hut around the Flappers and the Flossie Fussers he (Jot Away like a Pint of Rye at a Convention of Scotchmen in the Middle of Kansas. He put Pomade on his Hair, used Shoe-string Neckties, and creased his Bell-shaped trousers four ways. He sported a Twin-Six Growler whose Normal Speed was Sixty Per, and he had to Lie or Lay on his Back to Drive IT. All the Girls reserved Special Pages in their Graduate Books to write about the Times they Rode with Him in the Growler. As might he Seen with Half a Glimmer, his Marks got a Specific Gravity that would make Lead seem like Feathers. He spent most of his Time being Bawled Out in the Office. His Teachers all Shook their Heads and Remarked that his Aspect of Mortal Existence was Decidedly Erroneous. In Other Words, they meant he had the W rong Slant at Things. The First Time he ever Noticed the Girl that had the Locker next to His was when they were Both Late Together. It was also the First Time he had Noticed that anybody hut a Pippin could l e Easy to Look At. She was a Sweet Young Thing and lived Way out in Robbinsdale, but he Cancelled his Engagement for that Night and Sparkled I p the Growler. When he Got to Her House, he Found her doing her Lessons, and she Claimed she Had to Finish Them. He confabbed with the Old Man for a while, and then Suggested that as His Homework was the same, they Might as well Do it Together. The Next Day, when called on to explain a Graph, He gave a Recitation that would Knock the Spots off a Bronze Leopard. The class Fainted all over the Place in Amazement, and the teacher had to erase the Fail she had Given him in Anticipation. It was such a Relief to lx on the Good Side of the Teachers that he Resolved to slip the Razz to the High Life. He spent the time between 7:00 and 9:30 with the Sweet Young Thing in Robbinsdale. He Now has the Ambition to be Valedictorian of his Class. Moral: If you want something done, get a girl from Robbinsdale behind it. 176 POLARIS ■ Dec.20 Class Day, i� n Ttuebon Lornci— « V Sk. the amirsent Irish Mr. fhcphenJ - JPv ® ',or dot OuMy J? dI Mow c is) V ’ with Ma ojY, — j”' pAbhaiic. piiis [ Sr Tu af«i o Station, made a good director utifft his father) coat Z on J.HcGuire, Eddie Hu ho! and onef fyd 3rad ten user very graceful and anes+hcffc.

For when the doors do close on them I'm sure they wouldn't have stayed. Homeward bound the Seniors go As fast as they can run, Because, why should they tarry With all their lessons done? So that’s the way vacation comes. But soon its joys will end. Because to school we must come back. And to our books attend.
