WEBSTER 4 North Hioh School Foreword To all Seniors: Hail and farewell! This year you close I lie doors of North High School behind you; not with a slant, but gently and with regret. Some of you will open the doors of yet higher institutions; others will find their places in the jostling world of industry. Yet wherever you go, you will find that it was during these years that a deep imprint was set upon your lives. Here the windows were opened, and the bright light of truth streamed into your souls. Some of you, probably not all, have learned that houses and lands, mortgages and bonds are not the dearest possessions of life; that just to knoiv things is a constant joy. To understand radio-activity, to conceive the depth of space, to know how the little violet grows, to measure the centuries of man’s slmv struggle from the wild desert to the humanized city, to read through the glass of literature the tortuous story of man’s hates and loves —these are a greater happiness. Still to think high thoughts, to do justice, to speak truth; to help and not to hinder, to sing and not to sorrow, to give and not to covet—these bring supreme happiness, and these your alma mater has taught you. Live worthy the name by which you are called—graduates of North High School. 5 The 1922 Polaris. Retrospect My acquaintance with North High began in September 1892 in wliat is now known as the Logan School. North High enrolled 215 High School pupils during that year as compared with 2761 during this school year. There were 17 teachers in the High School and we 1107c have 90. In 1896 the school was moved into the “new building on the present site. This new building was the main part of the present building before the fire. The year 1908 sate the South wing added to the building and in 1911 the North icing teas completed. Two days before the close of school in June 1913 fire destroyed the main part of the school, the South icing, the roof and third story of the North icing, the North wing being supposed to be fire proof. While the flames were raging and firemen were losing their lives, workmen were laying bricks in the construction of what is now the auditorium and gym wing facing Girard Avenue. During the school year of 1913-1914 the school occupied the old Central High at Fourth Avenue South and Eleventh Street, while the present building was being rebuilt. It is to be hoped that those looking back on the next year or two may be able to say that another needed addition was completed in 1923. North High, in addition to the growth of the physical plant, has grown in many other ways which make a great school of a large city. It has been endeavoring to keep abreast of the times and to initiate some things long before they were attempted in other schools. North High was the first school in this city to establish a lunch sendee and to have the Faculty organised under what is known as the uCommittee System ” Many thousands of dollars in works of Art and educational equipment have been secured by the energy of the graduating classes directed by a feiv teachers in charge of the Senior class plays. The first graduating class was composed of sixteen young people and the present class will number over 240. The total number who have completed courses in North High, with those who finish in June, will be 4119. Another year of history has been lived and is here partially recorded. May success attend the class of 1921-22, and may the history of North written in the future be even more glorious than the past is my wish and that of all who have really worked for and built North High. 6 North Hioh School.

What marvelous treasures may we hope to find, When even now we see these glories bright; What wonders must there lx in Life so kind, What future joys of peace and love and light! How great the power of Love within the Mind That rules those things beyond our present sight! Lillian Lamb. Poet's Club. MY PAL lust a pal so staunch and true. To comfort me when 1 feel blue, To clasp my hand and whisper, “Friend,” When all the world seems out of trend, Who shares with me my every joy, And ne’er forgets I’m 44just a boy”; Who likes to take long tramps with me. Under the great sky open and free. Who walks with me as man to man, And helps me do the best I can; Someone for whom I’d be willing to die. If he were in danger, and I heard his cry; Next to “Mother.” the best friend in the world, My pal. Helen Krause, March, ’22. THE TREES 1 feel sorry for the trees about this time of year. They stand so bare and naked, and they look so lone and drear. The wind howls through their branches in a lonesome, moaning song, And the shrivelled leaves upon them flutter all day long. There’s no snow to clothe them in a dazzling, sparkling white— No soft blanket to enfold them through the long, cold night— No wee birds to sing upon them their care-free songs— I feel sorry for the trees—for the winter months are long. Alice Walkup. 60 .'North High School. TIIE MAN OR THE WOMAN (Written for Better English Week) HE man began his business life with the idea that his own personality would carry him through, regardless of the delicate touches added by the charm of correct English. He had, as assets to progress, a keen mind, a steady hand, an eloquent tongue, a charming manner, and capital. With all of these helps to happiness, lie cxjjecied to be most successful in his projects, and well he might have been—if he had first made the acquaintance of Miss Good English. But he neglected that important lady, thinking he could ride rough-shod over the feelings of her proper nature. 'fhe man began his business ventures with money, the all-compelling power. True,—he had to pay more for the share than another who spoke carefully,—but what of it? He was on the road to success. People flattered him, entertained him, made him the social lion because he showered them with money. He rose quickly in business and social life, then dabbled in politics. He was a success there, too, because of his ability to make friends. His education was not wasted. Then he met the woman. At first lie noticed that she sj oke well, and he classed her as a “high brow.” Later he saw that everyone listened when she spoke, and he wondered why. Of course, she was beautiful and charming and all that,—but the things she said weren't clever or intellectual. He mentioned this to a friend and received the surprise of his life when the friend replied, “Well, perhaps Miss Jemons isn't the wittiest woman in the set,—she doesn’t try to be the life of the party—but she has a better vocabulary of correct English than any other woman I know.” The man listened to this and thought alxnit it. I-atcr he proposed to the woman, confident that his personality, coupled with a massive fortune, would be sufficient to win any woman’s love and devotion. But this woman was different. She refused him. He pressed her for a reason and received one. She was ashamed of him—not of his appearance, his friends, or his manners—she was ashamed of his English. His education was wasted because his English had been neglected. The man left her, baffled at the blindness of women. He rose to the pinnacle of fame—she never married. He had many flattering acquaintances—she had scores of staunch friends. Which was a success? Viola Rice. 61 The 1922 Polaris MY FIRESIDE Oh, cozy corner of my room, Where slumbering embers lie, And glowing coals within the grate Beckon to the passerby. I cannot help but love you most In the fall time of the year, When all within is cheery like, And all without so drear. I wish that you could give to all The comfort you give to me; That they could know the fireside thoughts That come from friendly hours with thee. D. J. G. THE IDEAL STATE Have you ever lingered with languid ease, In a country lane, ’neath the blossoming trees? And pitied the city folks who stay— Away from the playful breeze all day? Have you ever waded through drifts of snow With your toes a-tingle and face aglow, Nor envied the idle ’neath Florida’s sky As over the glittering ice you fly? Minnesota has pines and ice and snow. And the summer breeze—with the flowers that grow. And when one season goes, we are nothing loth; Another will come—our state has both. Beulah Wills, ’22. MY GARDEN I have a little garden. And I sowed a lot of seeds; But who do you suppose it was That planted all the weeds? It may be fairies who in play Scatter mischief the livelong day. Alice Peterson. 1924. 62 .'North Hidh School. JOHN BAR LEYCORN’S GHOST Old John Barleycorn, may his followers decrease, Awoke one night from a seeming sleep of peace. He called all his servants and adherents, too. In order to pep up their spirits anew. This meeting was held in a dark, hidden, place, to discuss the remits of the Prohibition case. Old John, nimself, who as chairman presided. With his liquory voice, great secrets confided. He appointed Al. K. Hall, who was his first mate. As leader of all they would undertake; APs sole mission was to conceal himself. In the things which are sold from any store-shelf. In liooks, eggs, and cocoanuts, was he to appear And even in the present so-called near-beer, In canes which are hollow, in spite of his pride, He was forced by Volstead, his presence to hide. The bootleggers, who carried him, must leave no clues That would lead to the capture of unlawful booze. Their work must be secret, or soon o’er their trail The prohibition agents would speedily sail. The meeting ended before night was spent, And back to the grave John Barleycorn went While he was alive he ne’er did shirk, And even in death his spirit doth work. Harold Asi'Erstrand. IT’S NATURE What plans for me, oh Destiny? Poor little me, with a turned up nose, With cheeks like an apple, and not like a rose, Why wasn’t I made daintily? Why weren’t my tresses of finespun gold. Or black like the ebony ring 1 hold; Instead of the same old dismal brown Which seems to be almost every one’s crown? Oh. little girl, how queer you arc! You can sing, you can dance, your friends grow on trees; You’ve health, you’ve vigor and love—all these, Yet you long for the face of a movie star. —Ann Smith.

While Sir Launfal left his courtyard green To seek the Holy Grail, Sir Waldo took a northern course, The road to Robbinsdalc. But ere he reached the land of hay, Me saw a land of grain; “No farther will 1 go, said lie, “This is my domain. “When all have once assembled here From Britain, Spain and Gaul, My first words to them will be these, ‘Now do keep out of the hall.'” Sir Waldo turned his Ford around And sped across the dew; And even now we hear his words, ‘Til go halfway with you.” Clifford Gill. WHEN 1 GET BIG When I get big and can boss around, Like my dad does all the time, Instead of saying, ‘‘My, that’s bad!” I'll tell my kids—“That’s fine! My dad always used to like me, But since my sister came, he don’t. Instead of saying, “Yes,” to what I ask him. He always says, “Do it yourself! I won't! Mynia’s the only one that cares, She always corrects me—when I’m wrong, But my dad! Gee! how he scolds me, And tells me to go to school—where 1 belong. Say. but I wish I didn’t have a sister, Then I’d have my way all the time, Instead of my dad saying, “Oh! That’s bad,” He’d smile and say, “That’s just fine.” 64 Bf.rnice Olson. ■North Hidh School. “TAP” (A Story of Just a Plain Collie, and Little Ilennic, His Master) Iiennic was a small boy. Within his tiny little form there beat a heart so big that he could scarcely get through a day without “div-ving” someone “somesing.” There were two people that Benny loved most in all the world. One was his Mother and the other was Big Bill Brentwood who drove the big red fire wagon whenever the bell in the tower rang. Next to these two idols Benny adored his collie, “Tap.” Benny had no father; he did not miss him for he had never known his love. However, Benny did know what it was to love Big Bill. When Benny was a baby Big Bill would often stop and play with him as he sat in his carriage. As he grew a little older, Big Bill would take him to the Engine House with him. By the time Benny was five years old he had complete j ossession of the hearts of the brawny fire fighters in Engine House No. 29. Benny knew all about the fire barn. He knew each horse by name and had often watched them in drill. Sometimes the men and Benny would play hide-and-seek, and always Tap would l e on hand. He would skip about, find the hiding place and then bark and jump with all his little collie doggish glee. Benny would very often bring presents to Big Bill. If he made a daisy chain at kindergarten he would give him that. Sometimes it was a little paper basket. Always on Saturday he would bring cookies from his grandma’s kitchen. One Saturday, however, just as the grandmother step| cd into the kitchen she noticed a tiny figure hiding behind the pantry door. U| on opening it she discovered Benny, his mouth filled with cookies, his pockets full, his blouse full and his hands full. Now Benny’s grandmother was a saint, a martyr to the cause. She had cared for Benny since his babyhood while his mother worked. She was kind indeed but her pocketbook forbade her feeding the entire neighborhood. “Benny, where are you going with all those cookies?” Benny could not answer at first. After he had bravely swallowed his cookies, almost whole, he replied, “I—I—we—well Big Bill said when 1 had a birfday he would let me swide down de bid pole an—” “But this is not your birthday, Benny, and you have not answered me. What are you doing with all those cookies?” “I am taking vem to my birfday party at ve Engine House.” “But this is not your birthday, Benny, and I shall have to punish you for telling such a falsehood and for taking so many cookies without permission. Benny was undressed and put to l ed and after shedding many tears he fell asleep. It was full and sharp stiff winds were blowing. About five o’clock Benny awoke. The weird shrillness of the wind whistling about the house frightened him and he began to sob softly. At this faint noise a shaggy brownish figure emerged from under the bed. Tap lay two spotlessly white paws upon the edge of the bed and looking into Bf-nny’s face, almost begged him to get up and play with him. 65 The 1922 Polaris “Vc vill go to see Bid Hill, ’ats what ve vill do,” said Benny to his understanding companion. He got up and dressed himself as best lie could. Very shortly a stubby little boy and a brown shaggy dog were seen trodding down the street together. “Hello, Benny,” shouted the men as the little boy entered the Engine House. “Hello,” replied Benny. “Today was my birfday and now it isn’t, but Tap and I’ve have tome anyway.” Soon the whole Engine House was alive with laughter. Benny and the men were playing “hide-and-seek.” Upstairs and down they ran with Tap in the midst of all. Then it came Benny’s turn to hide, lie looked about for a few moments and then decided on the long, red, shiny, new “hook and ladder.” Up he flew and over the top, his small body easily dropping between the ladders. “All weady,” cried Benny. But Big Bill did not hear him. for above the engine house a sharp clang came forth. It was followed bv many others and before the last echo died away the engine house was deserted. Up the street tore the huge red engine, and the shiny new red hook and ladder. Behind it dashed a brown and white collie, his eyes ablaze with excitement. Banting. and with his tongue hanging, he strove bravely to keep up with the lire apparatus. The fire was well under way by the time Engine House No. 29 arrived. The building was an immense one of brick and was used for the storage of chemicals. Already the thick deadly smoke was pouring from its windows, and crowds who had gathered at the first alarm were fast dis| crsing for fear of suffocation. After forty minutes of hard fighting Big Bill ordered his men across the street. There was no use in using the ladders. There were no people in the building, and deadly, poisonous smoke was pouring from it. The best Big Bill could do was to keep the surrounding buildings from catching fire. Anyway, the north wall was apt to fall any minute now. When he had seen that all his men had been accounted for (two had been overcome by the awful smoke and one had received a fractured arm). Big Bill started back to the hook and ladder—but stopped short in the middle of the street. A curly yellow head appeared from the interior of the big red wagon. “Oh, my God! Benny—the wall—oh, Benny”; and then the great red-faced Big Bill Brentwood fainted dead away for the first time in his life. The cornice crumbled and fell thirty feet from the wagon. A few bricks came and then the whole wall leaned—and— Tap, the ever-faithful, decided everything for fate. With one bound he rushed to the top of the wagon; he grabbed Benny by the back of his little blue suit, and, holding him tight between his strong teeth, he jumped and slid under the hook and ladder. Big Bill had been dragged to safety but the hook and ladder was smothered in hot bricks. The quickness with which Big Bill and his men uncovered the ruined wagon was never before heard of at Engine House No. 29. Then Bill asked the others to look and sec if Benny was there. Yes—he was—over him a shaggy brownish body lay, his once lovely head cracked on one side and his two bleeding paws straight out in front. Yes, Tap was there too, but Tap would never again play “hide-and-seek” at No. 29. “Hello, is 'at you. Bid Bill? I played a fool wif you this time and 1 corned to ve fire anyway, I did!” - c D. J. G.- . 66 North Hidh School THE REAL HERO The subject of heroes is a subject with a very wide scope. There arc almost as many kinds of ‘‘heroes” as there are religions. Foolish ] eople maintain that the Wallace Reid. “Doug” Fairbanks, and other such movie stars arc the heroes. Many believe that the financial magnets are the heroes. Noted scientists and inventors are heroes to others. Many will claim that only men such as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, McKinley, and Wilson arc heroes. Still others maintain that great generals and admirals such as Paul Jones, Sherman, Grant, “Stonewall” Jackson, Farragut, Dewey and Pershing arc the only red-blooded heroes. There is no doubt that the above-mentioned men are great heroes, but to me there is a greater hero. To me, the “Unknown Hero” is the only real, red-blooded, all wool” hero. Without him. how could Washington have beat the British? Without him, how could Lincoln have kept the Union safe? How could the heathens of Africa, Asia, and Australia get religious training and medical aid without the unselfish “Unknown”? The “Unknown” hero is the hero of heroes. He is the one who has fought the wars of nations since the beginning of time. It was he who with blood dripping feet trod after Washington. Twas he who sailed the seven seas in eighteen twelve and avenged our impressed sailors. The “Unknown” was the hero who saved the Union. Also “Unknown were the heroes who battled for the “Stars and Bars” of the Confederacy. The men who sank the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, were the heroes unknown to the public. The millions who fought Germany’s millions were of the “Unknown” type of hero. The missionary doctor is an “Unknown” who penetrates the jungles of Africa, the wilds of India, the mystery of China, the romantic South Sea Islands, and the frozen snows of Labrador. Let us then take off our hats and cheer for the hero who makes all other heroes possible, the “UNKNOWN”! P. Murton Jurgensen. THE CALL When day is done, and the evening falls. When death ends my life and the master calls, Dig a grave for me and sing a dirge. Then bury me ’neath a tall pine tree On a mountain high, by a solemn sea. Raise a wooden cross and carve for me This last short verse to my memory: “His heart was youth; his soul was love; His gentle thoughts came from above; He kindly dealt with those in need; God give his humble soul its meed.” 67 The 1922 Polaris. THE WINNING OF ARTHUR ALBERT His name was Arthur Albert Tru, but he looked as though no one cared enough about him even to give him a name, lie sat on the back steps and sobbed and sobbed. His rompers was spatted all down the front where his tears had fallen and his face was simply streaked with paths made by them. Could his mother have seen him, she also would have wept. Arthur Albert’s mother was far away and she had been for three long weeks. Annie had told him that she was going to bring a nice big man home to be his papa, but the big boys had told him different. The big man wasn’t nice they said and he wouldn't let you do anything. He wouldn’t buy you engines that go on a track or any sand for your box. Arthur Albert sobbed again. Annie sang as she worked about the kitchen and presently shouted from the doorway. “Arthur Albert, come home. Oh, here you are, you dirty boy. Ma goodness, 1 don’t know what yer ma say if she see you now.” But Arthur Albert’s mother did see him that way, for just as Annie spoke the front bell rang and Arthur’s mother and his new father had come to him. “My darling baby,” she crooned, “Mother’s so glad to see him. Mother was so lonesome for him.” Arthur Albert kept right on crying and clung about his mother’s neck. “Hello there, little fellow, can’t you stop long enough to let me”—but Arthur Albert’s shrieks drowned all the futile words of Thomas Grey. “I don’t like ’at man,” cried Arthur presently, “I don’t likes him! “Why, baby dear.” soothed Mrs. Grey, “of course you like him, you just wait till morning, you’re so tired now.” For several days Arthur would have nothing to do with the big man.” He evaded him at every chance. “I don’t know what we’re going to do,” sobbed Ellen Grey on the big man’s shoulder, “we can’t force the child to like you.” “It will come out all right, mother. 1 feel sorry for the little fellow. He’s so afraid of me. I wish our things would come, perhaps some of our curios and the playthings we’ve got will win him over.” The trunks did come that very evening. Arthur All crt went to bed at exactly half-past six and Tom and Ellen finished unpacking the first trunk at eleven. Tom, however, could not sleep for a certain small unhappy boy kept slashing through his mind. At twelve he got up, crept downstairs, unstrapped the second trunk, and searched almost frantically for a large square box labelled “Swiss Make, Electric Engine.” From the very bottom, Tom produced it, unpacked it and began to set up the track. He connected the apparatus with the current and then took out the engine. Ilis heart almost stopped for the delicate little toy had its front wheels bent. With his fingers he bent it back into place and putting it on the track turned on the current to sec if it would go. Whing! around sailed engine No. 119. .“North Hidh School “Whcc!” said a small voice from the stairway. “Where did ’ou.gct ’at twain ?” “I bought it in a store for a little boy,” replied Tom. “What little hoy?” questioned Arthur. “For any little l oy who likes me.” “I likes ou.” said Arthur slowly. “All right, then it’s yours.” said Tom with a mort unconcerned manner. Down the banister slid Arthur Albert True. Then two small boys played engine until one small boy fell fast asleep. Dorothy Gauiraith. TO A SUNSFT SUNSET, so magnificent, mysterious. What do you hide behind your glorious raiment ? You seem to beckon me to lands, before unknown, I cannot follow, but looks, then to my dreams give vent. Your dazzling radiance o’crcomes my inmost soul My selfish nature cries that you should stay in just that form. Then, ere 1 wish it you are gone, fading in the heavenly depths But you will come again and so I turn to wait the morn. D. J. G. I WISH I wish I were a little bird -sailing through the air. Floating on the clouds with God, With never a worry nor care. I’d like to build a little nest Away up in a tree. And sway on every branch and l ough. Soft rolling like the sea. I’d like to trill my happy song The whole long living day. And tell the world I love it all. And I am here to stay. I’d like to go to sleep at night With the tiny stars above. And thank the kind, good, living God For all His tender love. 69 Helen Krause, ’22. The 1922 Polaris. MIRRORS It was summer time. I strolled down to the woods, leaving the broad fields, dotted here and there with spacious farmhouses and great red barns, behind me. I yearned for the solitude that only the calmness and the comforting echoes of the forest could give. Not being a very observing person, 1 noted little the things about me. 1 wanted just to be alone. What 1 sought I knew not. It was neither person nor thing, but something indefinable, beyond reach of explanation. Presently I found myself beside a little brook that ran on with pleasant laughter and sparkled with the deepest joy. I sat down beside it, wondering what had brought me there, and what the indefinable thing was that I sought. Looking into the shallow, bubbling waters, I saw the whole universe reflected. There was the bright azure sky, without a single cloud to break its broad expanse over the heavens. There were the trees, with their full, green foliage so beautifully formed and arranged. It was a complete picture. As I stood gazing into the water, these lines from a Spanish poem, came to me: I wonder: Mow shall one measure This lovely water— By the Earth that holds it? By the Heaven it holds?” Leaving the woods, I proceeded on my way back to the broad fields and the farmhouses. I was partly satisfied, for I felt that the first step in my search had been taken. Soon in the road I saw coming toward me a woman. She was one of our neighbors, a woman who was bitter toward life, who saw nothing good in the universe, who shunned companionship, and who, in turn, was shunned by everyone. I wondered, as she approached, how I should greet her. My recent experience in the woods had impressed me deeply, and I felt the joy that had come to me with my thought. As the woman came nearer. I saw that it was her intention to pass me without a word of recognition. I went to her. and. smiling, held out my hand. Slightly surprised, she took it, smiling faintly in return. Scarcely realizing what I was doing. I soon found myself telling her about the brook in the woods and what I had thought as I stood looking at the reflection in the water. I saw that the expression on her face changed. The worn, dissatisfied look was replaced by one of interest and even of enjoyment. My confidence won her ready response. She was soon experiencing a little of the joy of the thought that I shared with her. When I left her. I knew that both of us were happier for having met each other. As I went on my way, I thought of her not as the cynical, dissatisfied woman that the world took her to be. but as one who had shared and responded to my now complete experience, who had understood when the best that was in her was appealed to. Thus, I thought as I walked on. is everything in the universe a mirror, in the depths of which will be found a picture of that which is good and true? 70 .North Hidh School. OX GRADUATION Classmates, it is time to say farewell. The call has conic for us to join the ranks Of those who work for daily bread, to do The Work the Lord intended us to do When he created us; whether it be Small, with little praise or compensation. Or big, with honor, fame, prestige, and wealth. What matters it the gain, if one but lives A life that is a stainless heritage To all the future ages? God judges not By the standard of the world, but by Ilis own. May we so live that on the Day of Days The Lord can say to each of us, “Well done.” Clara Hagen. IT ATHRR large is it. Some of it is tall; some of it is short. Some of it is thick, and some of it is thin. Some of it is elaborately decorated, while some is simply adorned. It takes up a great deal of “room” and is found on the first floor. On the whole it is quite brilliant, though parts of it arc dull. Some parts of it are more striking than others and arc. therefore, better known. Parts of it “step,” and the remainder looks pleasant. It is complicated curious in workmanship. Some parts of it are antique, while the others are more up-to-date. There is usually quite a peculiar combination of color. On the whole Mr. Hobbs and the teachers seem satisfied with it. What is “It”? It’s the June class of 1922! Anna Johnson. 71 The 1922 Polaris THE JUVENILE PLAYGROUND E who arc sad and weary of life, come with me to the third floor, there to view the playful antics of the freshmen. These little creatures are always scampering around Idled with the pure joy of living. (It is strange that they are allowed to live, isn’t it?) If we go during lunch jicriod we may observe them the better, for it is then that they throw care to the winds, and let joy be uncon-fined. We first notice how tiny some of them are, and ask if they arc kindergarten pupils on a visit, but we arc assured that they are a species of freshmen in the first stage of development. Our attention is then drawn to what seem to be l osts, but what on closer inspection, prove to be an elongated sjiccies of freshmen. (It’s a queer age. Freshmen in our day were high-minded, normal-sized .students and now—how times do change!) We sec a crowd gathered at one end of the hall, and wend our way towards it. There, in a cozy corner, we see an old men’s council—a group of hoary “A” Freshmen seated around a table stroking their beards and spinning yarns. Some of the yarns are several yards long, filled with the fascinating experiences of these pioneers when they were “C” freshies. We linger here for a while and then move towards another group. Here some valiant little chaps are staging a terrific battle with water guns. They get their ammunition from the Fountain of Youth, where others are imbibing of its sparkling fluid. Some of the brave heroes arc fighting for their lives, while others are dying—literally breathing out their souls before our eyes. The scene is grim and gory. We shudder at the horror of it, and move on towards another gathering. Here we find a group of wee, pig-tailed (pardon us, bobbed haired) litt'e girls. They are showing their fullest appreciation of the new floor the school board has put in by playing hop-scotch on its squares. Of course, the sections would be rather small for the feet of dignified seniors to play on, but these pigmies find them quite spacious. Their feet are so small that they have to subdivide some of the squares with chalk-lines, much to the vexation of the janitor. He would put a stop to this monstrous j erformance, but his heart is very tender, and he cannot bring himself to stop their innocent play. While we are watching them intently, we realize that we arc no longer of the younger set. for our bones creak as we move, while theirs operate with the greatest case. As we are pondering on this, the bell rings, and all the fair visions of lunch period vanish like vajior into the air—and gone are the freshmen. But where, who ran say? Viola Rice, June ’22. 72 73 The 1922 Polaris. JIM Jim was just a big. homely dog. His hair was not sleek and clean. His name was not engraved in gold letters upon a shiny collar, for he had no collar. His appealing brown eyes obtained for him his daily food. One day Jim was watching some children playing near the banks of a dangerous river. 1 here was a piercing cry. and a little girl was seen struggling in the black waters. The screams of her playmates brought many | eoplc to the sj ot. Before anyone could save the child. Jim had jumped in and dragged her to the bank. A young man had witnessed the scene just as Jim dropped the unconscious form on the land. He went over to the dog and stroked his head. Jim seemed to see the man’s kind character. The young man. who was known as Vernon King, adopted Jim and took him to his mountain home. There were no protests made, for no one claimed Jim. Every day Vernon and the dog took long walks through the sweet-smelling pine forests. They came to understand each other and gradually became the be t of pals. Summer waned, and fall came. There were long hunting trips when Jim proved to lx a fine hunter as well as a pal. In the cool evenings, he and his young master would sit l eforc the fireplace and dream happy dreams. In the winter, Vernon hired a man housekeeper because he spent most of his time trapping and hunting. One exceptionally cold day Jim and his master set out on their daily trip. The sky was dark and foreboding, but what did a little storm matter to them? Small Hakes were falling, but they were excited and happy and did not notice them. The afternoon brought the storm in full force. The two pals realized that they were far from home, and that the wind was sharp and cutting. They knew they must reach home soon. His body was freezing. As he sank to the ground, he whispered, “Jim.” The dog tugged and whined at the man, but he did not stir. He cried and barked, but got no response. Then he wrapped his warm shaggy body over the cold one of his master. Night fell and the stars came out. The storm was over, but help had not come. In the home of Yemen King, the housekeeper waited. In late afternoon. he got his lantern and went out in the storm. He searched all around the cabin but found no trace of the missing pair. The trails were covered with snow, and he could hardly keep his directions. He thought he heard a faint bark. Yes. it was Jim’s bark. At last he found the dog and Vernon. As they were not far from the cabin, the man was able to carry Vernon home. I le was still living, and only his hands and feet were frozen. Jim had saved his life. W hen the dog saw Vernon’s quivering eyelids open, he gave a short, happy bark. He was happy. He had repaid the man who took him from the hated city. Jim never could have a gold medal at a dog show, but he certainly saved a man’s life. 74 Frances Fee iia n, Dec. ’22. r North Hidh School ABRAHAM LINCOLN (Price Winning Essay in Lincoln Hank Contest) My Lincoln! Abraham Lincoln! The Lincoln of my dreams! To some Lincoln is Abe, the rail-splitter; to others he is the emancipator of the slaves; and to many he is only the sixteenth president of the United States. The man who lived and died for his fellow men is my Lincoln. The annals of Sagamore County are full of tributes to Lincoln’s love of man. Lincoln, the doer of kind deeds— Lincoln, the man who swore to hit a chance—and Lincoln, the man who could not bear to sign a death warrant, is my ideal. Lincoln’s ambition was to save the Union. Not for the benefits of the North nor for personal gain did lie wish to do this, but for the benefit of mankind. He would gladly have given up his hope of the presidency if by doing so he believed that the Civil War could have been prevented. “With malice towards none, with charity for all.” was said of him. Whenever he returned to the scene of his youth there was not a person whom he failed to greet or console. Douglas, his greatest rival, loved and revered him. Lee honored him. Only a fanatic would have taken his life. And so my Lincoln died in the hour of his triumph. The whole nation mourned, for both the North and South mourned alike. They mourned; yet we rejoice, not for the death of this great man. but for the fact that there never was such a lover of man and such a champion of the right. MUD VERY peculiar substance is mud. It is made by adding water to sand or clay. However, it is made in nature by the uniting of snow or rain with any kind of dirt. It is very easily prepared and does not deteriorate, except that the water evaporates. This fault, how-ever, can Ik readily corrected by adding more water. For this Q rS reason it is not patented. The color of mud depends largely on the kind of dirt used. Clay usually gives a reddish color, sand a brownish color, etc. Some grades of mud are very watery; others are sticky. The pulling strength depends on the kind of dirt used. It is hard to describe, but after once seeing it an indelible picture is printed on the brain and can never be lost. Mud has many uses, and is used the most in the spring. A mud puddle—for that is what a supersaturated solution of mud is called—makes an ideal place to test the usefulness of rubbers or boots. Many times one’s rubbers sink into the mire so far. that some of the solution runs into the shoe. After such an experience, the victim usually invests in a pair of boots. The rubber goods manufacturer makes a sale, you see. Mud is interesting and useful. It is cheap and durable. A person doesn’t have to have a license, knack, intelligence, or money to make or obtain some mud. It is just about as free as air. The main reason for its popularity is that it gives the atmosphere of “Spring” better than any other substance.

The change from a monthly magazine to a weekly newspaper was made at the request of the student body. Since that time, the most gratifying results have b:en attained in the publication of the paper. At the Minnesota Junior Press Association in 1920, the Polaris Weekly carried oiT second place, although it was an infant among the rest of the publications submitted. Again, at the second meeting of this association, it was awarded second place, although many other publications had been entered in the contest. This success was accomplished only by the overcoming of many serious difficulties, some of which still remain. In order to summarize the records and results of the Polaris Weekly, it is most convenient to do it page by page. 'fhe front page has been devoted to news stories, special announcements, cuts, and the weekly calendar. The quality of the news stories may be demonstrated by the fact that a news story from North won first prize in the last journalistic convention. The number and quality of the cuts published on the front page has been unusual. No school in the city has equaled the Polaris Weekly in this phase, and few school papers received by the exchange department reach this standard. In order to create enthusiasm among the student body, advertisements and cartoons have been placed upon the front page from time to time, announcing coming events. The Weekly has been especially lauded by outsiders for its neat, clean-cut make-up. The second page of the paper has been devoted to various literary departments, editorials, short stories, and special articles have l een used. A drama column and poets’ column have been added, also. The articles appearing in the editorial column have purposely been made applicable to school life only. The feature section of the paper has always appeared on the third page. “But As For Me” and “With Bated Breath” passed away last June, but “Bunk” and “Spot Light” have filled the vacancies well. The exchange column. “Long Distance.” and the personals under the heading “Around North” have added to the interest of the page. The sport page has also been increasing in quality under each sport editor’s direction. Many interesting cuts have been used on this page also. Write-ups on home games and games between other schools have been published from week to week. Summaries columns, and other material have been used to complete the page. One remarkable feature of the Weekly is its advertisements. During the last school year, the idea has been to confine the advertising to North Minneapolis merchants only. Neat, attractive advertisements have resulted. First, second, third, and fourth pages have all contributed their efforts to make the Polaris Weekly a success. The old saying runs “From little acorns grow mighty oaks.” From a little acorn, published October 9. 1920. the Polaris Weekly has grown as an oak. The full growth has by no means been reached but rather a steady course of improvement built upon a firm foundation lies ahead. 85 The 1Q22 Polaris. JUNIOR ADVERTISING CLUB F ALL school organizations none is more interesting than the all-city Junior Advertising Club. This society with Mr. Bushnell was organized in January of 1920 as general adviser. Any High School student of the city interested in advertising, may become a member. The meetings are held bi-monthly on Tuesday at the Central Y. M. C. A. building. At these meetings many prominent business men of the city give talks which will be both interesting and instructive to the members. The officers of the organization are elected each year from the list of active members. Each school elects a vice-president and faculty adviser besides the general officers. This organization ho| cs in the coming year, to do things which will more directly benefit North by having some of its members work on the POLARIS advertising staff. In this way, members will be given an opportunity to test their ability in the business line. Each spring, toward the close of the school year this organization gives a banquet at the Y. M. C. A. The students, themselves, take care of all the advertising for this affair, besides making up a program, and inviting the guests. The President of the Senior Advertising Club is usually invited to this banquet as one of the honor guests. Some unique advertising stunt is usually arranged for the program. HI-Y CLUB URING the past few years the Boys’ Hi-Y Club has been one of the outstanding organizations at North. It is one of the organizations whose chief aim it is to make North a better school and whose interests are more than those of the average social club. The purpose, “to extend, create, and maintain the highest ideals,” is always kept in the foreground. For the past two years this organization has successfully conducted a business in second-hand books. Students who would otherwise have to purchase new books at a very much greater cost are now able to sell their old l ooks and to obtain used text books through the book exchange. Every year the organization presents a “character cup” to the boy of the senior class who, in the estimation of the club and the faculty, has done the most toward making North a cleaner and finer school. This thoughtfulness promotes, to a certain extent, a desire on the part of every boy to do his bit toward the betterment of his fellow students. In addition to this, every year the club promotes a friendship campaign which tends to form a companionship between prominent successful business men and high school students. During this campaign opportunities are given to the students to personally interview these men about their life work, and as a result, these students will obtain some ideas of the difficulties and possibilities in that particular line of business. The following officers have served the club during the past year: Edgar Nyholm, President: Lyndon Cedarblade, Vice-president: I awrence Lawson, Treasurer; James Galbraith. Secretary; Lester Nelson, Sergeant-at-Arms. As only two of these officers remained in school at the end of December, a new election was held and the officers elected to complete the year were the following: William Rietzke, President; Lester Nelson, Vice-president; Jack Ehlert, Treasurer; James Galbraith. Secretary and Stephen Paulcyn. Sergeant-at-Arms. Law-rcncc Lawson received the jewelled Hi-Y pin which is awarded to the officer who has given the most time in the service of the organization for the year. 86 HI-Y CLUB C. Schmidt. R. Sprunirman, W.

Weekly meetings have been held at which topics of interest were discussed. Men with inspiring messages have spoken to the club and all the members have realized a better understanding of one another and also of their obligations, to the school as Christian fellows. This organization resembles the Hi-Y Club to a great extent: its ideals, ideas, and purposes being almost identical with those of that club. The principal difference between these two clubs is that the Triangle Club has for its members Freshmen and Sophomore boys while the Ili-Y Club is composed entirely of Juniors and Seniors. Paul Kces and Ernest L. Friend, alumni of North, are advisors of the club. TRIANGLE CLUB C. Guplil, R. Hnvxtnil. F. G.iusc, J. Acker, W. Kee� Gilbert. H. McKombs. L. KluKHtnit. V. Olson. K.

Nyguist GIRLS’ LEAGUE OMEWHAT limited this year has been the work of the Girls' League owing to the fact that many other activities in the school have called for much more time than in previous years. The League aims in a most democratic way to further the interests of the school in any way in which girls may be helpful. A committee, comjjoscd of representatives of the various classes, help to carry out plans of service. The League has tried to send notes and flowers to the sick, and to promote a sisterly feeling among the girls of the school. Two parties for Freshmen have been given during the year. 88 North Hioh School GIRLS’ LEAGUE SERVICE COMMITTEE H. Hrlckner, K. Ryan. A. Sturman, E. Edo . K. Jo� t, H. G. Saimicl.son. A. Hoycr. F. Freed. G. Smith. G. McKaitr. E. Bayer THE BLUE TRIANGLE C LUB NK of ilie most worthwhile organizations in North High School is the Blue Triangle Club, a branch of the Y. W. C. A., which has for purpose the development of the girls mentally, physically, morally, and spiritually. The club has been most .ably led by Helen Wahl, president, who is assisted by Miss Elizabeth Braden, North side “Y” secretary, and by Miss Leet and Miss McClure, faculty advisers. Membership in the club is limited to fifty girls, and it is to the credit of the society that there is always a long waiting list, and a splendid attendance of members at all meetings. Meetings have been held regularly at 5:30 every other Tuesday at the Association Rooms on Broadway and Bryant. After the business meeting which followed supper, some interesting speaker talked to the girls. At one meeting Miss Elsa Mace talked and conducted a discussion on “Seeing Yourselves as Others See You.” On March 7. Dr. Julia Richardson told “How to Keep a Well Girl Well” and at another meeting Mr. Glenn Jackson spoke on “The Ideal Girl from a Man’s Standpoint.” Besides these regular meetings the Blue Triangle held two joint meetings with the Boys’ Hi-Y. At the opening of the year there was a conference at Lyman Lodge, which was attended by several girls. But the club lias not been self-centered. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas the members contributed both food and clothing most liberally for distribution to less fortunate families. In February the club present d a movie. “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come” to provide funds for sending two delegates to Okoboji, Iowa, this summer. During the last term the Blue Triangle and the Boys’ Hi-Y together have given a movie every week. 89 BLUE TRIANGLE CLUB M. Vandowalker, G. Anderson. G. Thompson, M. Luce, C. Mnlmsten. K. V nVes cn.

Stricter rules have been followed. and as a natural result, the members have come to realize more fully the true value of such an organization. Association with the girls in social times as well as the work of the club has created a more friendly feeling among the members. Looking back at the activities of the S. I). C. this past year, we note many interesting meetings and pleasurable events. The initiation ceremonies were probably the most amusing, as the prospective members had to undergo unusual stunts before they were allowed to enter. As an inspiration to the initiates, a program proceeded the formalities. Then, along with the actual work of the club, was Jane Wilkenson’s play “The Superior Sex.” which was given at a program of the Girls’ League. This playlet proved to be a most enjoyable one. I Mans have been made for the giving of a program, conducted exclusively by the S. D. C. Two plays will be given, a comedy, “No Men Wanted,” and another one of an entirely different type. The work has been hampered a bit by the other activities of the school, in which so many of the girls had been called upon to take part: however, the members have all been eager to promote the interests of the club. Since so many of the present mcml ers will graduate, there will be a number of vacancies. All those who are interested in this Senior Girls’ Dramatic C lub will have a chance to try out their talents at the opening of the fall term. With the aid of those girls who will be initiated in September, the club hopes to do big things. 91 The 1922 Polaris. POETS CLUB M. Carlcaon, H. Johnson. M. Nash B. Will . L. L mb. B. Kcrncas, B. Pickermnn THE PORTS CLUB HE POETS CLUB was organized in December, 1920. for the purpose of studying poetry and encouraging the production of original verse among the students. The past year has been a most successful one, and the members feel that the organization is one that is well worth while. During the year the members of the Club have sought to increase their appreciation of poetic expression by studying not only the thought and beauty of poetry, hut also its structure. To systematize their study the Club purchased a book. “The Making of Poetry,” by Fairchild. Reports from this have been given at the meetings. Original poems have been plentiful among the members during the year. At every meeting some original work has been presented. The Club has worked especially on the sonnet. Sonnets by well-known jjoets were studied, and each member attempted to produce an original poem in that form. At one meeting the Club was addressed by Miss Kelly, who talked on John Masefield, his life and work, and illustrated her talk with poems showing the life and superstitions of the sailors, and Masefield’s longing for the sea. The Club began the year with a wiener roast at Lily Hills. A most delightful afternoon was spent in the woods. Then, as the shadows of night gathered around them, the Club and its guests sat around a blazing fire and read poems in the flickering light. In October a Hallowe’en party was given. A number of students and teachers were invited, and the afternoon was spent in playing games and doing all the other things that usually characterize a Hallowe’en party. One of the unusual features was verse-making. The Club has many plans for the coming year, and looks forward to a very successful future. 92 .North Hioh School. SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY J. Schwarts.

SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY HE acting officers for the past year have been Jack Ehlert, Alice Sturman, Catherine Crowe, Ruth Shendal, Julius Schwartz. Isa-l elle Guy as chairman of the program committee, with Miss Burgess as faculty adviser. Bor several years this organization has been prominent at North as one of the several clubs whose purj ose it is to create an interest among the students in literature, music, and the fine things of life. All Juniors and Seniors with substantial scholastic records arc eligible for membership in the society. The meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of each month. The scope of the work of the society is shown by two typical programs of very different types, presented this year. On November 15. the society presented a program in honor of the third anniversary of the signing of the armistice. Miss Ann M. Lane, instructor of Civics at North, was the speaker of the afternoon. In an informal talk she told the members about the purjxjses of the Limitation of Armaments Conference, the naval policy adopted at the conference, and the “Open Door” policy in China. At another meeting the members gave a program in honor of the brith of the greatest at Scotch | oets, Rol ert Bums. On this program were Lois Mac Reynolds who played Scotch airs on the flute, Mr. Williams, who sang Scotch songs, and Norman Clark who recited some of Bums’ jx ctry. Short essays on different phases of the value of Burns were also read bv several of the members. A Declamatory Contest is held each year at North for the purpose of choosing the students in school who are the best in declamation and oration. Medals are presented to the students selected by the judges. The medals are purchased and the contest is sponsored by the Senior Literary Society together with its sister organization, the Junior Literary Society. 93 The 1922 Polaris. JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS Evelyn Brown. Marjorie Annexatad. Alice Moe. Beatrice Zock Marion Mnyville. Alberta Knox. Claire Coulter, Virginia Moe JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY I US is the fourth year of the career of the Junior Literary Society, whose members may be Freshmen ami Sophomores only. In October, 1921, the Society was reorganized under a new constitution, and the membership was limited to thirty-five. In the months following, the members have found that more effective work can be done with a smaller membership. Much talent in the way of story telling, reading, and acting has been discovered and developed this year. One pleasant occasion was the banquet given in the lunch room, March 3rd. The program was a varied one, consisting of readings, story telling, and original music. The officers of the Society are Marjorie Annexstad, President; Virginia Moe. Vice-president; Evelyn Brown, Secretary; Beatrice Zock, Treasurer. 94 North Hidh School. DECLAMATORY CONTESTANTS T. Abrnmxon. I. Grcenbcru, I. Wcinutcin, M. London B. Shcfkmiin, S. itcitzcn, M. Anncfttad EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTEST ORTH came out with first place this year in the annual State Extemporaneous Speaking Contest held at Macalestcr College, St. Paul, on February 17. Max Greenberg is the proud winner of the gold medal, silver shield, and $120 scholarship at Macalester College as a result of the decision of the judges of the contest. This contest has been held every year at the college for the purpose of choosing the best speaker in the high schools of the state. It has for some years been the custom of North to send a representative to this contest. He has not always, however, come back with the gold medal. Before the honor was bestowed upon him, Max Greenberg gave three sjjeeches. The first on the question of immigration was given at North. Mr. Saxby chose him from among the contestants to represent North in the contest at Macalester where he gave his second speech February 16 on “What the Washington Conference Has Achieved.” From all the delegates he was chosen as one of the six best to participate in the finals. On February 17 in the final contest he spoke on the negative side of “Compulsory Military Training in the High Schools,” after having one hour to prepare his talk. When the judges’ decisions were read it was found that North’s representative had won first place. 95 .A DEBATE TEAM Luverne Seagren Beryl Berman Margaret McCaslin Wtr William Boyer1 ’James ClarK 96 North Hidh School. DEBATE N REGARD to Debate, at North, the past year has been an eventful one. Although at the outset, there were twelve prospective debaters, the final squad was composed of five. 1 laving entered the State League, the question was: “Resolved, that the United States Government should regulate by direct control the price of coal in jicacc times, constitutionality granted.” On December 15, North met Duluth in a double practice debate which o| cncd the searon. The negative team, composed of James Clark, William Boyer, and Luvcrne Seagren debated in Duluth while the affirmative team composed of Sarah Ritzen, Beryl Bearman and Margaret McCaslin, contended at home. Although North accepted a double defeat, the spirit of the squad was unimpaired. in fact it soared when prospects of a debate with Excelsior confronted our debators. The Excelsior debate took place on January 27 at Excelsior, and thru the efforts of Luverne Seagren, Margaret McCaslin and Beryl Bearman. North gained a 5 to 0 decision, on the negative. By this victory. North won the Championship of Congressional District No. 10. Our second league debate took place with Milaca on Tuesday, February 7. The team that had beaten Excelsior unanimously, again took the negative and won from Milaca with a 2 to 1 decision. By that time the finals for another Congressional District Championship had arrived and when James Clark, Beryl Bearman and Luvcrne Seagren, who comprised the North team, beat Cokato on February 17. after changing to the affirmative side of the question. North had won the championship of another district. Fortune smiled on North’s debate interests when the practice debate with Minnesota College fell on February 24, affording us a good practice for the next League debate. The team had defeated Cokato and although they lost this practice debate it was worth while as preparation for the debate with Duluth which came on March 10. Duluth had won the championship of two districts and North also had won the champion: hip of two districts, so when North met Duluth the objective was the semi-finals in the League. Before that debate, the members of the squad worked long and hard but were defeated with a 2 to 1 decision. North was represented by Beryl Bearman, Luverne Seagren and Margaret McCaslin. who did their utmost to win for Noith. The spirit that is sometimes shown toward debates by all of North High was displayed the entire season by William Boyer. Although “Bill” was in only one debate, he worked untiringly the entire season for the interest of North’s debates. Much is to be said about “Bill’s” steadfast efforts and their many helpful results. Although the squad did not win the State Championship for North, at all times the North High Debate Squad stood for clean, straight-forward, honest debating. The members of the squad feel that they themselves gained a great deal of knowledge in regard to economic conditions and they have many pleasant things to remember from this year’s experience. However, whatever may have been the success of the debate squad this year is due to the untiring efforts and patient coaching of Mr. Saxby and the cooperation which he alone was able to bring forth from the squad. Having lost nearly all the debates last year, and with only a small turnout this year, it took a great deal of courage on the part of Mr. Saxby to go thru the season as he did. North could not have wished for a better coach for her squad and his work has been the foundation for all the successes that have been ours this year. 97 The 1922 Polaris. CIVIC FOItl'M J. Cordon, F.

The purposes of the club are promote an active interest in problems of citizenship, to arrange for the apj earance of civic leaders before the club, to assist in the observance of public holidays, and to sjxmsor visits to places of civic interest. On Lincoln’s birthday, under the auspices of the Forum. Reverend Roy Smith addressed the school during an auditorium period. Lincoln was portrayed as the ideal citizen and statesman. At meetings the Forum has been addressed by Professor William Anderson, who spoke on “Minneapolis City Government and told the history of the city charter: and Mr. John F. Sinclair, who talked on present conditions in Europe as compared with those in America. During the spring vacation, the Forum sponsored a visit to the penitentiary at Stillwater. The group, composed of about 200 students, visited the Capitol and also the Minnesota Historical Society. Any student of civics, law, economics. United States History III, or United States History 11 (when approved by the teacher), may become a member of this organization. The officers for the past term have been as follows: President, Raymond Kelly; Vice-President, Lillie Lamb; Secretary, Julia Gordon; Treasurer, Murton Jurgenson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Joe Gordon; Faculty Adviser, Miss Lane.

The club’s aim was to produce the more artistic plays of good literary quality with an eye for simple suggestive scenery and appropriate costuming. The school knows what the club has accomplished and its reputation for the higher class of drama is known to all the other high schools of M inneapolis. The club has grown greatly under Miss Henry’s guiding hand and untiring enthusiasm and effort so that now it has an auxiliary which makes costumes, scenery, and com] oscs incidental music. Although the club has spent a considerable sum for materials for plays it still has $220 in its treasury. The club is representative of the whole school containing students from every grade. Since September a number of interesting plays have been presented to the school. The first two plays were presented before a cyclorama curtain. They were “Sir David Wears a Crown,” and “A Fan and Two Candle-sticks.” The former play was a satire on court life. Joe Rudolph | ortrayed the meek king. Ethel Fabian, the beautiful ill-fated queen, Beulah Wills, Sir David Little-Boy, Katie Tapj er, the saucy milkmaid, Stephen I'awlcyn, the dutiful soldiery, Irving Greenberg, the ignorant jx pulation, Paul Fenton, the blind man, Nathan Rois-man, the councillor. Leonard Bucklin, the ballad-singer, Cecil Richmond, the mime. Madeline Powers, the king’s great aunt. Zelda Marquette, David’s mother, and Marjorie Annexstad, the trumpeter. This play showed the ability of a large group to work harmoniously together. “A Fan and Two Candle-sticks” with Zelda Marquette as Nanette, the sweet coquette, Sidney King as the confident, Hugh, Theodore Abramson as Ralph, the defeated lover, was also presented to the English teachers of the city and was highly commended. The Romancers,” which was given as an act of the vaudeville was very attractive with the silhouette scenery placed in front of the Cyclorama curtain, and the pleasing lighting effects. In this play Tobie Mandelstam played the part of Sylvctte “of the azure soul,” Irving Greenberg, Pcrcinct. the lover of stars—(the brightest star in this case lx ing Sylvctte). Alfred Nelson and Nathan Roisman portrayed the designing old parents, and Cecil Richmond (note: Your eyes deceived you, it wasn’t Douglas Fairbanks). Straforel, the swordsman. The four masked abductor were Sidney King, Julius Schwartz, Theodore Abramson, and Stephen I’awlcyn. The little play, “Nevertheless,” by Stewart Walker was given before the red curtains for “Good English Week” with Julius Schwartz as the Prologue. Edythc Gluckman as the little girl. Vincent Pelletier, the boy and Leonard Bucklin the burglar induced by the children to climb back again on the “straight and narrow path.” . B. W. 101 NORTH HIGH VAUDKVILI.K Milts Lit urn A. Henry.

Meetings arc held the first and third Mondays in the month, the first of which is a general business meeting and the second a social meeting. The increasing interest shown in the Park Board, has made it possible for this organization to do all it has done this year. The halls and auditorium were decorated for Armistice Day, Arbor Day. Memorial Day. Thanksgiving Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, and Christmas. The members are well payed for this work, not in money, but in good times. Sunlights, picnics, programs, and above all a banquet were among the social fetes of this season. The following officers have served this past year: Presidents, Dorothy Galbraith, William Rictzkc.

Volkenant THE NORTH HIGH RADIO CLUB HE NORTH HIGH RADIO CLUB was formed in the fall of 1920. Since then it has l een a very live organization. It is composed of North High students who arc interested in the art of radio. The membership of the club averages about twenty-five. The necessity for a Radio Club at North was felt immediately upon the close of the war. The ban on amateur radio was taken off in the fall of 1919, consequently the interest in radio was immediately felt very strongly. The old radio set, which was dismantled at the beginning of the war, was reinstated in the engine room. Things, however, did not progress as they should, but dragged along into the fall of 1920. One day several of the radio enthusiasts became interested enough to start a Radio Club, which naturally did its work with the old radio set. The school set now has been moved to a room on the third floor, and it has grown, with the financial help of the school board, from a mere little set with a range of a few miles to one that has a receiving range of approximately the ends of the world, and a transmitting range of several hundred miles. The meetings of the club are made interesting bv speeches, lectures, discussions. and contests. Often speakers from outside talk before the club. The problems of the individuals are brought up in the club meetings and threshed out. March 17, the Radio Club gave an entertainment in the auditorium. The program consisted of a concert by radio, a talk by a radio engineer and a moving picture “Via Wireless.” Both Mr. Hurd and Mr. Santee have had an active part in making the Radio Club the live organization that it has proven to be.

It was organized in September, 1918, under the command of coach Jackson. Three months later Lieut. Lloyd took command and drill was placed under military discipline. Lieut. Loyd was called to a camp in the south where lie is now a captain whereupon Capt. Macwade took his place temporarily giving intensive instruction. Capt. Macwade was commissioned a major in the reserve and took charge of the corps. Capt. Tom Fox was detailed by the L . S. government to take charge of the corps with Major Macwade. The R. O. T. C. in Minneapolis High Schools numbered 250 at this time. Capt. Fox was then commissioned a major and appointed to West Point Military Academy as physical instructor. Lieut. Conner and Sgt. Rhemshardt are instructors of the North Reserved Officers Training Corps which contains three companies of platoon strength, about 150 men under the command of Capt. Burris, Capt. Gasser, and Capt. Jordan. The instruction covers the same ground as that of the regular army, instruction being given five days a week, three of which are given to drill, and two given to the study of military tactics, under instruction Sergeant Rhemshardt. There is a long waiting list of men wishing to get into the organization but the corps is kept down to a certain number of the choice men in the school because of the fact that the record of each cadet is investigated and approved before he is notified of his appointment. He must also pass an examination to testify that he is in perfect physical condition, and a student who is worthy of wearing the uniform. At the end of each term tests for commissions are held and those cadets getting the highest marks receive commissions. Every year during the month of May the complete Corps goes into camp at Fort Snelling. This gives the cadets a slight idea of what real army life is like. The day’s program is regular as follows: Reveille blew at 6:30 A. M. Everybody out. Mess call at 7:00 A. M. Everybody eat. Police duty at 8:30 A. M. Clean up. Call to drill at 8:30 A. M. Fall in and begin drill. Recall at 11:00 A. M. Noon. Mess, 1st call, 11:45 A. M. Mess, 2nd call, 12:00 M. 1st call drill. 1 :15 P. M. 2nd call, drill. 1 :30 P. M. Recall, 2:30 P. M. 2:30 P.

M. 1st call to quarters. 10:00 P. M. 2nd call to quarters. Silence reigns supreme but for the occasional call of a guard on duty. A competitive drill is held every year at the armory for the colors. All the High Schools in the city participate, each having the prize company or companies to win the colors. 110 GIRL SCOUTS S. Weiner. T. Rockier. E. Sutton. E. Edca. E. Maxwell. E. Jost. C.

Consequently the girls of Troop 37, the North High organization, constitute about one-third of the Girl Scouts in our school. The second class scouts of the troop, as organized last September have formed a separate group, with Miss Rich as leader. They meet evenings, and are working for the same badges and studying the first class requirements. Uy June all the really good scouts—fifteen—will be in second class rank. In response to calls from headquarters. Troop 37 has sold Red Cross Seals, delivered Community Fund material to block workers, sent skaters to Minne-apolis-St. Paul contests, made nutrition posters and exhibits of nature work and miniature fire models. At Christmas, and again at Easter, garments made by the girls were sent to the babies at the Maternity Hospital. CAMP FIRE GIRLS S. GUI. I. Chapman. H. Hardenborgh. E. Ro iu«t. M. Howe, L. I-yrule.

This will be the crowning event of the year. 112 .'North High School. IDUNA CLUB It. Johnson. C. Lindbertc. F. SchlmminK. A. Olson G. Amlcnion. S. Nordin, F. Swtnion. M. Schuck. S. Sandccn. F.

Willncr THE IDUNA CLUB SWEDISH organization called the Iduna Club, under the supervision of Miss Alexis, faculty advisor, has made rapid progress towards the goal for which it aimed when it was organized two years ago. The meetings of the past year have been a source of interest and delight to every member of the club. A large part of the time has been spent in studying the life and the works of the prominent Swedish authors. The two authors, which the club has studied most extensively, are Strindberg and Runeberg. As an aid in their study, the members heard Professor Burton’s speech on, “The Three Giants of the North.” With the aid of such talented musicians as Clellmont Bjorklund, Florence Lindberg and Beata Hansen—to say nothing of the other gifted members—the club has been able to present interesting musical programs. An interesting social program has also been carried out. Numerous parties have been given. A sleigh-ride, a Christmas party, and a wiener roast all helped to stimulate an interest in the club. As the members look back on the activities of the Iduna Club during the past year, they feel that they have accomplished something very much worth their while, both in the way of enjoyment and knowledge. The assurance of the past benefits, carries them to their future work with the club, with more eagerness than ever before. With the aid of the following officers, the Iduna club will play an active part in the school life the coming year. President. Edgar Pearson; Vice-President, Anna Johnson; Secretary Reporter, Ethel Rybcrg; Treasurer, Alice Peterson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Stayne Norin. 113 The 1922 Polaris. SWEDISH DECLAMATORY CONTEST WO prizes were offered last year by Dr. Moren to the students who had made the greatest progress in the study of Swedish during the year. According to the decisions of the judges, ten dollars was presented to Florence Schimtning, and the second prize of five dollars to Pearl Adams. A Declamatory Contest was held March 16, 1922. in North’s Auditorium. The contestants were Ethel Ryberg, Stayne Nordin, Violet Florell, Evelyn Blank, Myrtle Schuck, Florence Lindberg, George Johnson Anna Johnson, and Ruth Nelson. Margaret Anguist opened the evening with a piano solo. Beata Hanson gave two violin solos, and Edgar Nyholm sang. A most interesting accordian solo was given by Elsie Olson. The first place was won by Florence Lindberg, second by Anna Johnson, and third by Myrtle Schuck. mi FLOKKNCK UNDBKRC Fint Prise Winner 1 I 1 ANNA JOHNSON Second Prize U’lntu-r North Hidh School VIKING CLUB P.

In just the same way, a nation, if it is to be really great, needs to learn new lessons every day from the rest of the world. It must know what other people are doing anti thinking, in order to act and think wisely itself. Just so have the various organizations in school tried to keep in touch with affairs. To know something of what the Northmen have done in the realm of thought is the aim of our Norse Club. The Viking Club has had a very suc-officers and members.

Mandelstam CERCLE INTIME ME Ccrcle Intime, or inner circle of French students, has probably been one of the most helpful organizations at North this year. It was organized last November, and has only eight active members, but it has accomplished a great deal. The purpose of the club is to further the speaking knowledge of French, and to study those things which are not studied in class. The members have met every Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Whittet, faculty adviser of the club. It is the privilege of the girls (for all the members are girls), to make up an extra credit outside of class by attending twelve meetings of the club, and writing in French, five papers on French subjects, or a book by a French author, or anything else that is French. The girls have studied French History, Geography, Industries and Resources, Literature—authors. Art, Music. Drama, Government, Fashions, Schools and many other things. All essays are read at the beginning of the meeting and comments and corrections arc made in French. The business is followed by a social hour which, of course, is all carried on in French, in fact the girls do not talk in English at all while they are at Mrs. Whittet’s. At one meeting Miss Gould and Miss Kelly discussed, with the girls, preparations for a trip abroad. At another. Miss Hankey of her visit in France last summer. In order to be a member of this club, a person must have “A” in French, and must have marks not below “B” in other subjects. If her marks fall below this standard, a member is automatically dropped from the club. 116 .'North Hidh School JEANNE D’ARC C. Calvin, E. Olson, M. Fortin. It. Williams NEVERTHELESS Miss Laura A.

A meson LA TERTULIA ECAUSE many Spanish students at North realize that club work is becoming more and more important in connection with the study of any language, these people have organized into a club, named “La Tertulia.” During the past year this organization has had for its aim the promotion of a general interest in the Spanish language. The members have received other benefits from the club, however, an increased appreciation of the language, and an increased ability in conversing on common things of every-day life. Meetings are held every other week on Thursday. The programs consist of short Spanish plays and dialogues, musical numbers, and Spanish games. At social gatherings refreshments are served. The members of La Tertulia hope to have improved enough in spoken Spanish to be able to present an entertainment to the school next year. Mrs. Hall. Miss Brcvfogle, and Mrs. Selkc are the advisers of this organization and do a great deal to promote the activities of the club. The officers are: Alice Sturman, president; Ereida Arneson, vice-president; Alice Middlemist, treasurer; Helen Augustin, secretary; and Harry Talcfson. sergeant-at-arms. 118 FIRST ORCHESTRA Mr. R. T. Tenney. Director ■3 SECOND ORCHESTRA Mr. H. W. Mormon, Director North Hidh School ORCHESTRAS O SCHOOL entertainment would be complete without the first orchestra, which is conducted by Mr. R. '1'. Tenney. This organization consists of thirty-nine pieces, and because of the competition for places in the orchestra, only the very best talent is selected, with the result that this group of musicians is the best ever had. It is very well balanced, particularly in the string section, and is one of the best school orchestras in the city. The playing of the accompaniment to “The Bohemian Girl” was the orchestra’s biggest work this year. The orchestra gave a concert for the student body on March 2, and two weeks later another at Simpson M. E. Church. A special group from the orchestra played for the North Vaudeville. The whole orchestra always plays the processional and recessional at Commencement exercises. The past year has been one of marked success in the orchestral work at North. Nearly thirty students are members of the second orchestra, of which Mr. Monson is the director. This organization accommodates those who have had less orchestral experience than members of the first orchestra, students whose programs do not permit of their being in the first orchestra, and, finally, the ones who arc not needed in the first orchestra (for that organization needs only a certain number of each kind of instrument to be perfectly balanced). Most of the members are lower classmen, although there are a few Seniors in it. This orchestra played for the Armistice Day program in the auditorium, and in April it played the orchestral accompaniment for “The Rivals.” a Rhys-Her-bert operetta, presented by twenty girls of the St. Anthony Convent, of Minneapolis. THE BAND HE band has been conducted during the past year by Mr. H. W. Monson, a former band leader in the U. S. Army, and has progressed a great deal in its work. This organization apj carcd at all the football games, and at some of the basketball games. In February it gave its second annual concert which was very much appreciated by the student body, and showed the fine work that Mr. Monson lias done in training the l oys. In addition the band helped advertise the Broadway Open House in the fall. The primary object of this organization is for education, and gives those who want to play band instruments, the chance to do so. The secondary aim is to prepare the members for professional and concert work. The chief requisite in band work, says Mr. Monson. is the ability to read quickly, and to keep good time, which according to the conductor, is the first thing one should learn, and the last thing he docs learn. Several Freshmen are in the band this year, and it is hoped that more will join next September. 121 NORTH HIGH BAND Mr. H. W. Monson. Director “North Hi 2h School. GLEE CLUBS ECAUSEof the abundance of musical talent at North High School, there arc five glee clubs! There is the Florence Macbeth Glee Club, a study club of girls under the leadership of Mr. Monson; a I joys’ and girls’ second glee club; the first Boys’ club and the first Cirls' club. In January the two last named organizations, accompanied by the first orchestra, gave the opera, “Bohemian Girl,” the biggest thing ever attempted by our musical organizations, and so far as is known, we were the fourth high school in the United Staates to give it. Critics spoke very highly of the work, and even compared it with that of the Scotti Oj cra Company. The leading jjarts in the opera were taken by Adeline Wagner and Norma Hunt, Viola Wolfe and Dorothy Galbraith, Truman Kuehn, Paul Beekman, and Harvey Fjcllman. These same glee clubs also sang at commencement, both in December and June. On March 13, a most interesting glee club program was given for the student body in the auditorium. Besides numbers by the four glee clubs, there was a number by the stulcnts’ male quartet, consisting of Harvey Fjcllman, first tenor, Harry Swenson, second tenor, Flwood Edgerton, baritone, and Paul Beckman bass. Vincent Pelletier, a Freshman, also sang a solo, “Mother O’ Mine.” which was very well received by the audience. During holy week the glee clubs gave two sacred concerts. The first boys’ and girls’ glee clubs also sang a number for the Lincoln program February 10. FIRST GIRLS- GLEE CLUB A. Vcthcycn. II. Johnson. I). Schocnlcben. A. Gate . L. Ritchie, I. Guy. T.

Strauss The 1Q22 Polaris. — aa— ■■■ ■ ■ - ■ . REVIEW OF 1921 FOOTBALL SEASON During the 1921 football season, there were several outstanding features. Financially the season was one of the greatest in high school history, the well balanced teams making this possible. The labor situation probably helped out in the matter of attendance, as there were hundreds of men throughout the city who were idle and liked to spend one afternoon a week watching a high school football game. At the West-East game all attendance records were broken when over nine thousand people fought their way through the ticket stiles. Another important feature of the 1921 season was the downright hard luck of the lighting North eleven. Seven men were injured during the course of the season, all of these men being important cogs in the Blue and White machine. Most of the injuries took place in the first three games, and consequently, when East was faced in the final game of the season, North’s true strength was not represented. When Coach Kennedy first called his candidates together only three men had returned from the previous year’s formidable aggregation. Irwin Chriss, a veteran of two years, was elected captain, and with Luverne Seagren, and Kenneth Cheese, both experienced men, work was started on the team. Coach Kennedy had about thirty-five men to work with and, with the able assistance of Glenn Jackson, had a hard-working team together by the first of October. In the first practice game of the season the alumni were played with the usual result, the old gratis winning 13 to 0. This game showed up the usual early season mistakes. The week following the alumni clash was spent in correcting faults and in blocking and tackling the dummy. Dun woody was then taken on at Norths’ field. The game ended in a tie, although North outplayed the heavy institute boys. The two teams put up a good battle for three quarters, when Cheese broke the ice by intercepting a forward pass and racing sixty yards for North’s only touchdown. Dumvoody then started a fierce offensive which resulted in a touchdown for them. The game ended shortly after this with North well on her way toward another score. This game ended North’s practice season. In the first game on the regular schedule with South, North was the short-endcr, according to the newspapers before the game. However, the game resulted in a scoreless tic with all of the breaks going to South. Early in the first half, North received its first serious setback of the season. Kenneth Cheese, her star end, was clip| ed down from behind and was forced to leave the game. The two teams battled through on even terms until the last quarter when North received the ball near her own goal. A fierce offensive was started only to stop ten yards from the South goal with two minutes of playing time left. South recovered the ball on a fumble and quickly punted out of danger. The game ended shortly after with North again on her way to a touchdown. North played Central at Nicollet Park in her second conference game. Central outplayed North in the first half and ran across two touchdowns before North could get together. However in the last half it was a different story, for the midgets from the Blue and White school outplayed their huge opponents although not getting close enough to the goal to score. The game ended with Central on the long end of a 14 to 0 score. Norton for Central played his best game of the season. Joe Gordon, playing at fullback for North, had both his shoulders injured so severely that he was unfit for further games. Strauss played a fine game for North on the line, the little fellow being all over the field at once. 130 ■■ 131 The 1922 Polaris. With Captain Toby Chriss, Ancttc, Cheese, and Kronick, out of the game with injuries, the West High eleven took North into camp by rolling up the largest score of the season, 49-0. The game was close until the second quarter, in which West scored two touchdowns, making the score at the end of the first half 14-0. In the third quarter West scored thirty-five points, making the game very one-sided. However, the fighting North played like demons and held West scoreless in the final quarter. Matchan and Langford played like college men in this game for West, while North’s only redeeming feature was the fine linework of Strauss. The Blue and White team took on St. Paul Central on her open date. The downriver outfit evened up for the last two years by defeating North 21-7. Sea-gren and Haertel were the stars of the game for North. North was out for East’s scalp in the final game of the season on North’s field. East had not been scored on all year and were confident in their ability to hold the White and Blue men scoreless. The Cardinal-clad team started out to rival West’s score by dc i ositing the ball behind the goal line twice in the first quarter. In the third quarter, with the score 21-0 against them, the North footballers started their march toward the goal. They carried the ball up to within five yards of the goal where some eager back fumbled. East, instead of punting out of danger, elected to carry the ball. They also fumbled on the thirty-yard line, and North recovered. Then, with Haertel leading the rush, they carried the ball up to the one-yard line and had four downs to put it across. After three downs had passed and still the ball was three feet from the goal, Hawkinson decided to take the matter in his own hands. He successfully carried it over. Capt. Toby Chriss kicked the goal making the score 21-7. East scored one more touchdown before the game ended, making the final score 28-7 in East’s favor. With mediocre material returning for next season prospects are not so bright. However with several strong men returning a better team will be turned out than last year's. The team will be formed around Capt. Blustin, Haertel, and Strauss. I 132 4 Blustin Acker Johnston Libman Houck Havstad McCausland Herahman Redmond Modard 133 The 1922 Polaris. REVIEW OF 1921-22 BASKETBALL SEASON From a player's standpoint the 1922 basketball season at North was the most unsuccessful in the school’s history. Only one out of eight games played was won by the Blue and White quint. The team was composed of green men who had never before played together, consequently the teamwork that usually goes with a North team was lacking. In order to get desired results Coach Kennedy planned a very strenuous season. During the holidays the team sacrificed op| or-tunitics to get a little spending money by practicing and playing every day. This constant practice improved the team from a green aggregation to a formidable team when the season had ended. However as the team won only one regular game the season may be termed a failure. In the first regular game of the season. North surprised Central by handing her a decisive defeat by the close score of 18-15. Central entered the game n topheavy favorite but could do nothing against the close guarding of the North men. Houck in this game shot two of the longest baskets ever made on the North floor. Both of the shots travelled over three-quarters of the length of the floor. “Pud” Moore, Central’s star forward, scored all of his team’s points. West, by many considered the class of the basketball teams of the city, wa; North’s next opponent. North entered the game with only an outside chance to win. West upheld her backers by snowing North under 34 to 9. Morri-, Meili. and Anderson, together scored all of West’s points and were unbeatable the day they played North. The following week North took on East at the dreaded South floor. East captured the game 16-14. North played wretched ball in the first half. East leading 11-5. The second half, however, was very different. North outplayed and outscored her opponents. The game came to a close just in time to save East a defeat. North played New Prague on her open date and succeeded in downing the out-of-town boys quite easily. The final score was 34-17. Houck was in rare form, sinking eight baskets and dropping in two free throws. New Prague had previously been unbeaten and were leading in their district for the championship. Following the New Prague game North played South at the South floor. The Blue and White boys led the leaders all the way and had a couple of capable subs been injected into the game North undoubtedly would have held her lead and won the game. South played a strong game in the final quarter and scored 14 points in the final quarter, although in the first three quarters they only managed to accumulate nine points. In the first game of the second round Central defeated North in an uninteresting game at Central. The score was 19-10. Moore and Williams played well for Central and totaled all of their points. North again entered the second West game on the short end. The game was well played by both quints. North played especially well. West won 24-15. although outplayed during the greater part of the game. North obtained twice as many shots at the basket as West did but the ball refused to go in the ring with any degree of consistency. Morris of West caged the high number of shots, making four. In the second clash with East the North quint was sadly off form and lost 20-10. Colliton and Almquist were in great form for East and totalled all of their points. The game was a rather listless affair and did not offer the spectators many thrills. 134 BASKETBALL TEAM A. Gill, C. McCausclnnd, R. Havstad. A. Redmond. J. Acker, O. Moyard, M. Li liman J.

Kennedy (Coach) The 1022 Polaris With an open date ahead of them and the South game the objective and also the end of the season, the Blue and White team practiced hard for their battle against the Orange jersied team. The game was played on the North floor on March 7. In the first half North played in tine form and easily captured honors for the first half, although the half ended in an 8 to 8 tie. The frenzied South team came back strong in the final j criod and outscored their rivals 22 points to 7. The game ended with North on the short end of a 34 to 15 score, i 1 is game ended the season for the North quint with a season’s record of seven losses and only one win. The outlook for a successful season next year is most favorable, for three lettermen are returning and also a squad of thirteen men who were out last year. The past season was the most unsuccessful in the history of North basketball, but with the return of all of these men an entirely different story will be written next year. The South team garnered the championship by winning seven of their eight games, losing the one game to the second place Central quint. South was coni-I oscd of veterans, they having played together for the past three years. Captain Wheeler of the champions, was one of the surprises of the high schools last season. At the beginning of the year he was rated as mediocre forward, while at the end of the year lie was rated as the season’s find. He led in scoring with 85 points to his credit. The Central team also was one of the big surprises of the season, for at the beginning of the year they were not given a chance because most of their previous year’s championship team had graduated. They upset the dope completely by winning six games and the title of being runnerup to the champions. PERSONNEL OF NORTH’S 1922 BASKETBALL QUINT Houck ended his basketball career by playing splendidly in every game Last year was his third in the game and was also his best. Me lead all the conference centers in scoring with over fifty points, his nearest competitors being over thirty points behind. He was placed on the second all-city team by most of the sport writers. Baseball season will end his athletic career. Hershman came from Osceola, Wisconsin, High School, where he played on the basketball team there. His first season at North was a success in that he made the regular team. His work was steady all the year. Hcrshy will be back next year to worry opposing fives; everybody thinks he will have a fine season next year. Johnston finished his high school basketball career by playing a fine game of ball all through the season. Ilis work was characterized by steady playing. He was one of the best running guards in the city last year and North will have a hard time getting someone to work in his place next year. Blustin, playing his first year on the team, played the most consistent game of any guard in the city. He was mentioned in several papers as the logical man for all-city guard on the second team. Blustin will have one more year of baske’hnlj and next year is expected to play super-basketball. T.ifchitz began the year as a substitute, but was called upon to act as a regular in Winters place, when Winters was forced out of the game because of injuries. T.ifchitz improved in every game he played and at end of the year was a reliable man. He is one of the men who will return next year. 136 North Hi oil School.

LS - SV5 140 North Hidh School. REVIEW OF 1921 BASEBALL SEASON It seems that baseball at North has been a dead sport since 1916 when the last championship in that sport was won. Last year. North had one of the brightest outlooks in years, only to have the season fizzle out as it had done in the past. When the coach faced his men in the first practice of the 1921 season, a welcome sight greeted him, for six veterans of two years standing greeted him. Mason, Cheese, St routs. Dryer, Kammerer, and hanks were the men who had played on the previous year’s team, while several new men looked promising, t hree weeks were spent in the gym, getting arms in shape and practicing a few signals. Then, after all the snow had melted in the baseball park, outdoor practice was started. After about two weeks of outdoor training, a practice game was played with the “U high team. North was in fine form, and succeeded in downing their smaller opponents without much difficulty. Dun woody was taken on the next week. With I hompson pitching invincible ball, Dunwoody was helpless until the seventh, when several infield errors let the institute team get a commanding lead. North then staged a ninth inning rally, but fell short by one run. In the season opener at North Commons, North lost a close battle to Central, 5 to 4. Strouts was in rare form and permitted only six hits, but infield errors proved costly and undoubtedly lost the game for North. Edwards was on the mound for Central, and, although he pitched a good brand of ball, he has to thank his infielders for the victory, as they pulled him out of several critical places with snappy plays which retired the side. North’s poor base running undoubtedly was one of the causes for the defeat, for, in the eighth inning Bothnc and Strouts, who were on second and first, both advanced on a hit. However the hit was of the scratch variety, and, instead of stopping at second and third, as they should have done, the coacher sent them on. In the scramble that followed, both Bothne and Strouts were the victims of a double play. Central won the game in the eighth inning on a hit, followed by two errors. South was North’s next opponent at South High field. This game was close from beginning to end, South winning 5 to 3. North started out to win this game in decisive fashion, Kammerer, first up. hit a liner over the shortstop’s head, Wheeler, the South shortstop, jumped into the air and caught the ball for the most spectacular play of the game. Houck, next up, hit a pretty single over second. Then followed a barrage of hits which netted three runs and an apparently safe lead. South came right back in her half of the inning and tied up the game. Then followed a pitchers’ duel for six innings. In the seventh inning South managed to run across two more runs and sewed up the game. North could do nothing with Keegan after the first inning. North came back to North Commons for her third straight defeat at the hands of East, although like the preceding games, the score was close. East won the game by crafty baseball, the score being 6 to 4. Guzy, East’s star pitcher, set a season record in this game by striking out 20 North batsmen. North outhit East nine hits to seven, yet they could not bunch them when necessary. During the next five games North took the long end in only one of the clashes, that with South. The score with South in the second clash was 10 to 8. both teams hitting the ball frequently. The feature of the season was the fine all-around playing of the Cardinal team from East. The Eastsiders went through the season without a defeat chalked against them. Guzy developed into the premier pitcher of the season, winning seven games, Merrick pitching one game against West. 141 The 1922 Polaris 1 he North team was strong with the stick but were woefully weak in fielding and running bases. Seven of the North men who played had batting averages of two hundred and fifty or better. North, in her two games against Last, obtained more hits against Guzy than any other team did, but in critical places the fielding fell down. Cheese led the regulars in batting with the splendid percentage of .416, with Mason next in line with .314. The baseball outlook at North this year is not bright; yet, with proj er supj ort from the students and faculty, a winning nine will be turned out. Live lettermcn will form the nucleus of the 1922 team. Colburn, a dependable catcher last year, will undoubtedly handle the backstop work. Houck and Shussin, both veterans from last year, arc available for mound work. Houck played in the outfield all year with the exception of the final game with East when he was called from the field to perform on the mound. His work in this game was well done in view of the fact that it was his initial performance on the rubber. Shussin worked in the first East game and pitched the whole of the West game at South High field. Hotline, a sturdy infielder, will have the advantage of playing on the 1921 team. Clinton Johnston, another inficldcr, will undoubtedly play at his old station, third base. With several promising men coming from the Franklin Junior High and from the last year’s squad, prospects will be far more favorable than in previous years. 1921 BASEBALL STATISTICS M. T.

He was appointed captain by Coach Kennedy. Last year was perhaps Kenny’s most successful in his baseball career. He played at his favorite position, catcher, in four seasons at North. He was one of the few men who batted over four hundred for a season’s average. Besides being a baseball man, Kenny played on both the football and basketball teams of 1921. Wesley Strouts ended his high school career by pitching on the team for the fourth straight year. Last year Wes was troubled through the entire season with a sore arm and could not give his best. Baseball was the only sport in which Strouts participated. Dryer, who was one of the leading first basemen last year, is also one of the men who graduated. Abe played his best year of baseball last season, making only two errors and batting over 290 per cent. It was Dryer's second season at the initial sack. George Kanunerer played his last game of high school baseball last season for North. He was in an unfamiliar position at second and could not give his best work. However George batted high and held up the slugging end of the game nicely. Eldy Mason lead a wandering life on the baseball team at North. The first year he played centcrfield, the second season was at the hot corner and last year he cavorted around shortfield. Although Eldy was not the best fielding shortstop in the league last year, he had no equals in the batting department. He obtained hits in every game except against Lefty Keegan. Clint Johnston l egan the season last year as a sub but improved to such an extent that he won the hot corner. Clint is one of the fellows back in 1922 and much is expected of him. Donald Houck, playing his first season of high baseball, was one of the best defensive ccnterfielders in the schools last year. His stick work was a trifle weak for high school baseball. Houck, this year will undoubtedly handle the great part of the mound work and much is expected of him. Harold Colburn was the handy man on the club last year. Scare” played in both the outfield and behind the bat. He will be back this year and will do all of the backstopping this year. Scare” also wields a wicked cudgel. Joe Shussin was North’s second string pitcher last year. In the East game Joe pitched good ball and but for errors would have won the game. Joe has another year and much can be hoped for when Shussin takes the mound. Isadorc Miller was one of North’s three utility men. He was too good a man to leave on the bench entirely and so was used in pinches. Miller graduated last year and so is lost to the team this year. Levitt was another North handy man. He was a good defensive man but was woefully weak with the bat. Leo also graduated in June and so will not be with us this year. Levitt played football and basketball during his entire career at North and won a track letter in his sophomore year. Bothne, the last of North’s utility men, is back again this year. Bothnc started out the season as a regular but in the first Central game he threw his shoulder muscles out of place and was not of much use after that. In some of the close games he was used as a pinch hitter. Bothne ought to have a fine season this year. 144 145 The 1Q22 Polaris.

Libman and Btakeslce REVIEW OF 1921 TRACK SEASON North’s 1921 track team was composed mostly of inconsistent performers, but managed to end the season as the strongest contender for second place among the city high schools. The North track and field athletes tied with Hast for third place in the Twin City meet, in which West and St. 1’aul Central took first and second places respectively. In the city meet, the North men surprised their followers by gathering enough points to take second place. Morris Libman was a consistant point winner, as he took first in the discus in every meet but one. This year he is expected to set a record for his pet event. Lipchick showed unexpected ability in the dashes. Although it was Lijxrhick’s first year as a track man. he usually placed well in the 100 and 220 yard events. The 1921 season was featured by much disappointment for the members of the team. When the season was no more than opened, it was learned that Milton Ryberg, star hurdler and dash man, was lost to the team because of his difficulties with his studies. In the Northwestern Meet, which was the first of three meets, Don Hamilton injured his ankle while running the high hurdles. I lamilton was one of the best high hurdlers in the city, and his loss greatly injured North’s chances in the City and Twin City Meets. Had Hamilton been able to participate in the Twin City Meets, it is very probable that North would have taken second place instead of a tie for third. One of the greatest disappointments of the season was the work of Captain Theodore Kolderic. In indoor track he proved to l e the city’s best man in the 440 yard and half mile events. Unfortunately, Kolderic overworked and became stale long before the end of the outdoor season. . .. j jj 147 The 1922 Polaris In the Twin City Meet at Carlcton College, the Blue and White captain failed to place in the quarter mile and was second to Matthews of Hast in the half mile. The Northwestern, Twin City and City Meets were all held under very satisfactory weather conditions. The meets were featured by the stellar work of Tommy Rugg, Green and White captain. Rugg, entering five and sometimes six events, was high point winner in all meets in which he participated. In the Minneapolis C itv Meet, Rugg massed twenty-four points, or as many as the whole Hast team which placed third. REVIEW OF 1921 TENNIS SEASON The sport of tennis, which has been dormant at North for several years, came to life with considerable noise in the autumn of 1921. Very much to the surprise of everylxxly, themselves particularly, our four champions waded right through the other schools in dual tournaments, to a championship. After a rather haphazard process of elimination, it was decided that Carl Bloom, Maurice Gross-man, Donald Houck, and John Blanchette were about the best players in school, and these athletes proved themselves worthy as the summary will show. The only difficulty experienced was the match with West, which school tied us. In the play-ofT, however, the matches being increased to make an odd number, our boys were victorious, chiefly through their team-work in the doubles. Tennis is ordinarily a spring and summer sjK)rt. The big tournaments arc held in spring term. Donald Houck and Maurice Grossman are the only veterans remaining in school; but there is a large amount of budding talent which we hope will burst into bloom in time to make a creditable showing for North in these tournaments. A summary of the fall dual matches follows: North 3..........................................Central 1 North 4..........................................East 0 North 4..........................................South 0 North 2..........................................West 2 North 3..........................................West 2 North Hidh School CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Ruder, (Manaxcr), Alter (Conch) Andernon. CederbUdc, Wheeler, Curtis, Samuelnon Borman, Christianson, Eaton, Kolderie. Tromanhausor, Peterson CROSS COUNTRY Cross country, as a sport, is fast gaining headway at North as well as the Other four schools, and can readily he classed as the most promising and important of the minor sports. Cross country is an old college sport and has only been in vogue in the Minneapolis High Schools in the last two or three years. The merits of this form of athletics need not he discussed. It is obvious that to run two and one-half miles and win the race requires the best efforts of an all round athlete. Altho the North team could not he classed among the leaders in the race for the city championship, yet we must consider the effort of the team and its coach a hugh success, first because of the several men who will be out next fall with the benefit of last fall's training, and secondly because of the sportsmanship, pluck, and fighting spirit shown by the cross country team. Right here we would appeal to the faculty and student body. Athletics need support! Being true of football, basketball, and baseball, it is also true of cross country. The team’s chances of winning arc greatly increased by the presence of an enthusiastic body of students. If the sport fans will once see what cross country is, they will take an interest in it. Interest in any sjxjrt will popularize, enlarge, and improve that sport. When such conditions arc arrived at, North High can put cross crountry on the map where it deserves to l e. If we don’t do it first, the other schools will! We need your support! 149 The 1922 Polaris — ■ ■ 1 as TRIANGULAR MEET SOUTH-EAST-NORTH ST.

POSTURE WORK WITH NORTH HIGH GIRLS In North High School, one of the most important things that the girls strive for is a good posture. In the gymnasium classes a large part of the time is given to work and exercises which improve the girl’s standing and sitting positions and which strengthen the muslces of the body. A good posture means health and happiness. It saves energy for thinking and acting which would otherwise be used up uselessly by tired Ixxlies and minds. While studying, it is so easy to lean over the desk or table with round shoulders and head forward. and to slide down in the seat. While walking, it is so easy to droop the shoulders and crowd the lungs so they do not have a chance to do their work freely and well. How much better one feels when his head is up. his shoulders are back, his chest is out. and he is walking along with firm steps. And how easy it is to study and remember, if while studying, one has not become fatigued and is not tired. Besides being just tired, the body is not well, because when it is all cramped up, the organs of the lx dy cannot do their work in the right way. Poor health follows and happiness is not likely to come at all. Who can do his work properly if he is not well and happy? The Posture Tests, which arc given to the girls each month, consist of continuous marching for three or five minutes keeping the body in the correct position. and exercises to correct the faulty standing positions and to encourage the girls to lift their chests and keep their heads up. These tests have proved of great benefit to the girls at North 156 North Hi $h School FLORENCE HERMAN 1921 TENNIS CHAMPION In the 1921 tennis tournament, Florence Herman won the championship. The tennis tournament is an annual one at North High and Florence is expecting to successfully defend her title this year. An interscholastic tournament between the city high schools is held every year. Last year Cora Carlson, champion of North High in 1920, and Florence Berman, Helen Harderherg, stayed in the tournament until the semi-finals, where they were defeated only by very small margins.

More girls have come down to the gymnasium to work for their monograms and cups than in any previous year, and competition has been very keen. Every night the gymnasium was filled with girls who worked hard and faithfully. GIRLS WINNING 1000 POINTS.

A prominent male advocate against military training who was seen eating blubber pic with his knife says that he is setting an example for his children as he thinks that sword swallowing is much more dignified than the short jab of a bayonet. After viewing h i s gastronomic feat the B. of E. immediately decided that all forms of knife eating is much more beneficial mentally than the aforesaid short jab. Board members say that an instructor in eating lettuce, peas, grapefruit and jello with a knife will be appointed. Blind Tom has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the position. CANDIDATE FOR MEDAL Seizing an empty ink-bottle, Mr. Gates drove away three masked men from the building at 3:30 this morning. The bandits entered the third story window armed with pistols and daggers. They confined their efforts to third floor bickers. More than fifteen cents had been collected before school this morning to purchase a medal for Mr. Gates, who is being questioned in the office now as to his presence in the building at such an early hour.

The popularity of the colors was muen in evidence. BOTANISTS MAKE GREAT FIND Botanical department of this school has perfected a wrinklcless peanut. The hybrid was made by crossing an eggplant with an oyster plant. This brings North to the front as discovery of useless plant life. NORTH IN DANGER OF UNCIVIL WAR May 18. Wireless by courier from far side of North Commons aquarium. —A blind mendicant, sidewalk inspector, coming from Commons, states that he saw a large gathering of North Sophomores discussing in writing the fact that the opening of the young Jordan school would take away some 80,000 emeralds from underfoot in the lunch room in Septimus. 'on. bbs states that their fears are unfounded. There arc enough Tarriers among the verdant ones on the 3rd floor to maintain a balance of color, says he. They never will really be missed, lie says. Three companies of R. O. T. C. (Ravaging Orders of the Tin Cross) will forever guard the statute de Jones d’ Ark. Ole Patrick de Lebino-sitzson, leader of the probable revolting sophomore faction, says that if there are no freshmen, they will be the lowest mortals on earth, he says. Copious bloodshed is expected in North Arctic Regions. The only statement available for publication from Seniors is that there probably will Ik less esprit de corps in the Winnetka police force. The Juniors declare that it’s all right to put the Freshmen out but don’t monkey with the Sophomores. 167 The 1Q22 Polaris. Page 2 SUBJECT DROPPED BY STUDENT He dropped the subject. Not quietly, but with a great bang accompanied by a chorus of cheers all around him. The sentence was! The lunch was expensive—and he dropped the subject of the sentence. The attribute complement, ex| ensive, it may be noticed, was not modified; on the contrary, it was increased. Dishes you know arc expensive. TURNKEY FINISHES SUCCESSFUL YEAR « 4 !L£ My Leslie, who has just completed his first year as turnkey at the North Side Bastile, went home in the moonshine the other nitc. He misplaced his front door key and tried 1,968 locker keys before he was able to gain entrance to his domicile. My states that 500 of these keys were for combination locks and it was either so late when he started trying the keys or it took him so long before he found the one that would fit, that he was obliged to forego his morning shave and likewise his breakfast. Absence makes the heart grow fonder—of the other guy (with apologies to our not my best girl), who frequently reminds us of this sad truth. WEAKLY NORTH STUDENTS TO BE FREED •fit At last! The students of North arc to be independent and free, according to an interview with Mr. Hobbs. Seventeen years from today, he promises to do the following things: To have auditorium j eri-ods five days a week. They are to last one and one half hours and arc to include movies and concerts. To have three lunch periods. Pupils will be allowed to go to any or all lunch periods. Classes will not be compulsory. One can cut classes and go picking violets. No good athlete will be declared ineligible because of low marks. A student will be elected to take Mr. Hobb's place as principal. The student will appoint his own assistants. On days that the fish are biting good pupils will be excused, if they bring back proof that they caught the limit. All pupils who have keys taken from them by the principal will be refunded thirty-five cents. WEATHER REPORT Russian boots will be worn the first half of the day if it rains; otherwise Grecian sandals will be used. A balmy breeze will make lace stocking permissible. A full moon will be in evidence between midnight and 3 A. M. All lovers of astronomy should await the arrival of the phenomenon at North Commons. U Tell M News Service. Xmas PROMINENT PERSONAGES Freddie Gates posted a bulletin to the effect that seven members of the graduating class have been elected to the haul of frame because nothing else but a pull would allow them to graduate. One of them has been recommended for the Noble prize for studiouslcss-ncss in math. SEMI-ANNUAL DEBATE HELD The seventh semi-annual debate of the week was held at Youhn Fawn I oawes Chop Suey Academy on Friday, February 30, at 6 A. M. The question was: Dissolved: That my Jimmy is better than your Jimmy.” Mrs. C. D. Asever brought force to her arguments by hammering her point in with a pair of chop sticks, to say nothing of a soup bowl. Mrs. L. C. Lesser insisted that she was on the affirmative despite the urgent request of a nearby judge to kindly step off his pet bunion. The debate was brought to a sudden and dramatic end when a plate of teeth, owned by Mrs. C. A. Fite of this city, which were borrowed for the occasion by one of the members on the debate squad, dropped upon the floor and were stepped on by the members of the debate squad taking the opposite question. A good time was had by all; as for myself, I haven’t had such a good time since my mother-in-law’s funeral where they had such wonderful flowers. 168 North Hioh School. Number PAIR HELD ON SWINDLE CHARGE One of the most sensational swindles on police records was brought to light late yesterday when William H. Shepard and William Mandeville, both of this city, told local authorities that they had not yet realized a cent from an investment in a Northern Minnesota Sugar Plantation. Two local men, Win-worth Williams and Chester Saxby, arc being held in connection with this affair. Shepard, the same person who bought the government high dam for $200 during State Fair Week, said that he and Mandeville had met one of the strangers at a meeting of the Economics Advancement Society and that they had been introduced to another person who claimed to Ik an agent of a well known agricultural investment firm. The party then reached an agreement whereby Mandeville and Shepard were to invest $2,000 each in the industry, the agent and his friend to hold the money. Nothing was heard from that time. Winworth Williams, alias Slick Big Bill, and Chester Saxby. known as The Midnight Flier,’’ tally with the description given the police. SUNLIGHT DANCE TODAY At 11:30 P. M. No couples allowed.

Eatcm, a graduate from North in 1930, has Ikcouic famous for his tragcdic acting in the play, Painter Made Man.” Mr. Eatcm never belonged to the Dramatic Club but was a member of the stage force which probably accounts for his brilliant success. He is 21 years of age, and is his own producer. When he worked on the Polaris he was advertising manager, another reason for his success. S. D. C. HEARS OLD INDIAN The Sour Dough Club was lectured to by Chief Hide-My-Face on the value of sunsets. The members of the club, which is composed of young ladies and an old woman, received some ingenious ways of realizing the value of sunsets. Mr. Face gave this lecture as the last one before he joined the American Cosmetic Paint Powder Company. SPOON CAFE NEW SYSTEM North High Beanery reorganized so as to eliminate all confusion. The cafeteria hereafter will have no manager, cooks, etc. The students will do all their own cooking. In connection will Ik run a dance hall, a pool hall and a bowling alley. Idea very popular with students. Page 3 COURT STOPS NORTH TEACHER The St. Paul city council have issued an injunction to stop Miss Lane, civics teacher at North, from leaving St. Paul every morning. The president of the council says that every time that she (Miss Lane) leaves their town it reduces the population by half. Miss Lane would give no statement at her home today, but will find some way to teach here. GET CONTROL OF SCHOOL After a unanimous vote today, the Board of Education agreed to fire all present staff and hire several jazz orchestras, etc., and give entire control to student body. Immediately after gaining control, the student council put all honor students on probation. GLEE CLUB BAWLED OUT At two P. M. today, when four members of the rovers quartette were rendering the age mellowed battle song of Caesar, the chief of the Purity Squad bawled them out for serenading in competition with tardy bells. The members were so mortified, because no one witnessed the unusual incident. that they will probably never sing again before an audience.

I How little the graduates realize the many business attributes they have acquired in their Secondary School career from their teachers. We have in mind a student who has the sole of honor, who was caught cribbing all because an unfeeling teacher has jH-rsisted in assigning more than one lesson for the entire term. The penmanship of another was sadly ruined because a bachelor instructrex refused to allow a gallant swain time to write his missiles of heart throbs. Another was taught to prevaricate in a most diligent manner by a trusting teacher taking his word that he had prepared his assignment. Another was allowed to get a hold of the class book and doj c up his and the shark’s attendance. Another again was permitted to attend so many classes that he did not know whether H2S04 was a flower or was Spanish. A large number of others were taught to find fault simply because an overanxious teacher expected them to get at least one assignment semi-annually. (Minors are not allowed to read without parents’ consent.) Mr. Hobbs takes this op| ortunity to request the Freshmen to walk down the stairs instead of sliding down the banisters as heretofore done. SCIENTIFIC ADVICE When your teacher says, “My li'l man, Stand right up as quick slut can. When she says to you, “Now what shurc name? Tell her, for you’re not to blame. Say. With your permission, I’ll write it down, 'Cause I don’t want to tell the whole darn town. If she still insists that you call it out, Give your last name first with a lusty shout. When she says to you, “Whatchu going to be When you grow a big man. as big as me? Say to the dear teacher. Now that's the rub. But first I’ll be pres'dent of the Radio Club. I'll save my mun and work for my board, And maybe be as rich as Henry Ford. You must eat a big lunch at recess time And then you’ll grow up in the course of time To be a Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, too. And all the little Freshies will look up to you. P. A.

Hiram made the circuit once, But his home-runs were merely bunts; His country thirst he could not quench. And so he rarely left the bench. Once more he started on the trail. The road that leads to Rob-binsdale; But not once docs he touch the plow. For Hiram is professional. My own sweet girl Gave me the smack I closed the door. And hit the track . .

THE FOOLISH SENIOR Come you Frcshies, come and hear The tale of the foolish Senior ; Four long years he’s l ccn at North; No one knows just what lie’s worth. His head has grown a size or two, (I wonder if his brain has too?) You can tell him nothing at all. You know lie’s going to U next fall. You seldom see him in his classes Unless lie wears those large rimmed glasses: He’s stricken with the wanderlust : He’s bursting from hit nerve and crust. He cares not for the office rules And thinks the teachers only fools; He cares not one whit for books; He worries only about girls’ looks. He never reaches school on time; He is rich with but a dime; When e’er he has a heavy purse I must confess he needs a nurse. RHYMING To make this rhyme I tried my best; I think I need A mental test.

Paye Six WEAKLY Frosh DRAMA CLUB GIVES PLAY The Western Star Dramatic Club of Robbinsdale is another proof of the wonderful growth of our city. Their last production on “The Poison Gum Drop is the most uplifting civic enterprise since the dredging of the ditch in hack of Zckc's barber shop and undertaking parlors. The play was written by Hccza P. Nut of this city. The hero, Fouglas Dair-banks, was played by Neil Morton, whose wonderful physic made him the center of attraction. The heroine, Carlotta Dells, was played by Evangeline Hollenbeck. The play was very exciting. The Knights of the Bloody Mitt were trying to poison Carlotta so as to gain access to the W. W. Hobbs millions. They at last succeeded in feeding her a poison gum drop, and as she was in her dying agonies, Fouglas appeared on the scene with a stomach pump and saved her life. In a fight with the gang he succeeded in overcoming thirty of their numbers, holding them till the constable arrived. The closing scene shows the hero and heroine in their new home on the Hobbs estate in Anoka. WEAKLY WANT ADS BRING RESULTS To write a poem’s A lot of fun, 'Specially when The blame thing’s done.

Number WEAKLY Page VII THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL We will start with the room in which most of one’s time is spent—the l cdroom. The door will he the starting place. A bedroom door should embody all the comforts of a modern up to date bedroom. It should match the color scheme of the bedroom, unless the owner’s eyes arc brown. After we pet through the door we meet the bed. It should be so placed that it will not meet the shins in the dark. The springs should he of the non-squcaklcss variety. A mattress is indispensable. It should be of silk chiffon with lace rushings. Calico may be used if it is preferable. Feather pillows arc much in use now days and the author recommends this variety to all his readers’ heads. Passing out from the bed we see the dresser. The dresser should be approximately 5 feet high and should contain a mirror, ash tray and scarf in addition to the various knobs and drawers. Black enamel dotted with rose hued roses is a serviceable color to use on the dresser (this excludes the mirror). The rest of the room should contain a chair, a writing desk, and windows. The windows may be draped in either cerise velvet or lemon colored plush. Birds may be used in cages very effectively. Sleep should be considered before buying nightingales.

HOME PAGE RECIPES Cauliflower Tuti Fruti— Scald one quart of cauliflower in a wine glass of sherry. Add 3 cups of C B rock salt , 2 yards of Spanish macaroni and bake for 2 hours. Remove from oven (be sure and do this as the success of the entire dish depends upon this), and sprinkle generously with red paper. Serve piping hot with lemon ice. (See recipe below.) Lemon Ice—Peel three lemons, being careful not to squirt out any of the juice, throw the lemons away and wash the skins carefully. Shred one cup of shredded cocoanut and add the lemon peel. Wash and strain two pounds of rock salt, add the lemon mixture and freeze. Serve with ice. Griddle Cakes—Mix the dough before retiring. To do this, drop 3 eggs, 1 cup of Aunt Jermiah and a teaspoon of sal soda into a granite dish pan. Mix well and let stand in hot place. Upon awakening get up and with a cup of milk and a teaspoon of Mavis beat the batter thoroughly. Have hot griddle on stove and drop batter by cupfuls on awaiting pan (don’t miss the floor), and boil for 3 minutes. Remove to garbage can and serve.

Upe The better Half—B Cheaps Oh, girls, I saw the cutest little hat the other day in a shop window. It was a delicate shade of black straw with a heavy 8-inch fringe of brilliant red Morocco leather hanging charmingly over the brim, all around. This fringe dispenses with the bothersome veil and is guaranteed by the makers to ward off all types of flies and mosquitoes. The crowning glory of it all was a huge cerise rose poised gracefully on the top of the crown. Chokers of rat and cat skin will be much in evidence this summer. Evening gowns of white and black striped satin brocade arc still being worn. Fichus are now being made in all colors of the rainbow, including black and white. For the Lesser Half Three piece suits will be worn this summer in conjunction with silk shirts and socks. Ear muffs have been entirely dispensed with by the smarter set.

North led the scoring in the first period, two dirigibles to none, but Capt. Eddie's team came back in the second inning with a nose spin from half the distance of the floor. After this North had no trouble in regaining the lead it had never lost. The Blew and Wide was frequently penalized for pushing, but after a severe scolding Eddie promised to take his team home. North draws the Bye next week but will take on the St. Paul hockey team on the former’s diamond if the ice is in good condition.
