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
