Advertising 4..... e 1913 POLHRIS GROWTH Starting with practically no enrollment in 1890 we now find a North High School that has enrolled 2737 pupils in this school year 1922-23 and has had an average attendance of 2197 and average belonging of 2321. Since the Junior High Schools have been established fhe increase has been more marked showing that these schools have been a wonderful stimulus to the ambition for a High School education. The North Side has been highly favored as we have three Junior High Schools while other sections have only one. Pupils absent five times or tardy five times or a combination of five in absence and tardiness have been required to take a final term examination. It is considered an honor not to be required to take this examination and at the same time a privilege for the experience it gives. This requirement has no doubt greatly raised our per cent of attendance. The old Main part was once large enough to take care of the school, including four eighth grade rooms. It was in those four rooms that the departmental plan for eighth grades was first tried out in this city, so far as I know. Then came the addition of the South wing—next the North wing. In 1913 the fire destroyed all except the North wing which was partly fire proof. After the fire the Auditorium wing and Gymnasiums were completed, and now with over 400 pupils sitting in folding chairs in corridors, studying under artificial light, we need more room. North has made progress in school methods. We feel proud of our North High Method of Recitation. Pupils and teachers are doing their best to get better results and this North High Method, among other plans, has been productive of fine results. Next year North High enters upon a new phase of its experience. This school will be strictly a Senior High School next January, which means it will be the only one in this city to have the second, third, and Senior years of high school work, the first year being done in the Junior High Schools. We feel this will make possible plans for more definite and better work. For several years North High has had a special slogan each year which has been indicative of what was being attempted to be brought out as the spirit and purpose of the school. We feel they have been helpful and, to a large degree, have been realized. The following are a few of our slogans: Effi-cieny and Co-operation. Initiative is doing a thing without being told and next to doing it without being told is doing it when you are told once. Success depends upon the proper use of time. Loyally—work and the enjoyment of what is best. Loyalty and honest effort will continue I have no doubt. May worth be the real pole Star to which all may look and say in truth. Here is a guide to the best in school and the School of Life. -------N-------- 9 JWe m3 POLHBI s A NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 1805-1911 A cm© 1913 POLHR1S A MAIN CORRIDOR LUNCH ROOM 4 ie 1913 POLRRIS 4 N A .me 152.3 POLHRIS A POLAR IS VILLE W.

She crept to the window to await the approach of the midnight flier. Louder grew the rumble of the mighty wheels. The lights gleamed as the train rounded the bend, snakelike, mysterious, and wonderful. She stretched out her arms in intense longing for the great world which the train symbolized. Quickly it sped past. At last the only sound to be heard was the croak of a frog in a nearby pond. Many times, Sheila had watched the trains disappear into the night. She had often stood on the platform trembling, as the train stopped with a great heave. She had gazed with awe at the people whom it deposited on the platform. She had sighed with envy as she saw others departing for the far-off wonderland—the big city. What is it to be now. dear? asked Sheila’s father on the evening after her graduation from high school as valedictorian of her class. I’ll go to the city and then—oh. I must see everything. Do you have to go away from us. child? asked Mother. looking up from her sewing with a hurt expression on her face. You know Miss Benson says she can give you a fine position in the library right here in town. Oh. mother, it isn't that I don’t love you and dad. I do. so much! I have to go. Please try to understand! Yes, yes. we understand, dear. Father assured her. I don’t understand, Mother declared, but I'm willing that you should have your chance. That’s all I want. Sheila kissed her parents and ran upstairs to read about far-off lands. Do you think that the world will hurt our girl? queried the mother, trying to keep the tears out of her voice. Not a bit of it! I’d trust our Sheila anywhere. Father reassured her. Sheila was never to forget the sensations she experienced when she arrived in the great city. The confusion and excitement fascinated her. Above all, she loved the crowds. N 4 The 1913 POLHR1S k After taking a year's course in library work, Sheila was given a position as librarian in the main library. Her work was exceptional. She helped everyone with whom she came in contact and she made many friends. At the end of three years, Sheila had saved enough money for a trip to Europe. At last her fondest dreams were to be realized! Two years later, Sheila was sitting on the deck of a steamer, homeward bound. “You have enjoyed your trip greatly, haven’t you? asked a friend. “Oh. yes! exclaimed Sheila enthusiastically. “It was splendid, more wonderful even, than my dreams.” “What are you going to do now?” “I’m going to continue my work as a librarian. I feel that the position has great possibilities as a social service. For three years. I worked at the main library in New York.” “Oh. in the big city.” There was a note of disappointment in the friend's voice. T here are so many splendid people like you in the city. I often wonder if there isn't a greater need for them in the towns.” “That’s where I’m going to work—at home!” announced Sheila exultantly The most joyous arrival of her life was this homecoming. The train puffed up to the station just as the sun was setting on the dear old town which had only grown a little larger. Father and mother looked older. Sheila shuddered to think of how dreadful it would have been if they had not remained there, patiently waiting for her. How good it seemed to sit on the little porch again, after the dishes were done! “You won’t ever go away again, will you Sheila?” pleaded the mother anxiously. “Not for a long, long time.” answered her daughter. “I have the whole world within me now and the best part of it is home!” Mary Hanrahan. ’23. MOTHER There’s not a one as dear to me As pure, as sweet, as true; There’s not a one who has toiled for me As that one,—Mother, 'tis you. You're as pure as a lily that’s under God's care, As sweet as a rose, in its beauty so rare. And as true—that God only knows. You’re that one perfect, beautiful rose. Esther Wenn, '23. 4 ,2fie 1913 POLHRIS 4 THE FEATURE REPORTER’S VACATION Inga sighed victoriously as she squeezed herself into a packed street car bench, for she had successfully pushed through the crowded five P. M. entrance. The August sun was too hot. the air was too close, her wide-brimmed leghorn was too heavy, her head ached too hard—the tall black headlines of the Evening Tribune failed to attract her attention: she even forgot to read her own “write-ups on the inside page. Inga was a tired, dissatisfied, little feature reporter, who was sick of the large, busy city. She mused on the coming week, that vacation of seven whole days! As the conductor’s monotonous voice mechanically called out the street names, and as the car wheels screeched around the corner, visions of gay porch parties and lively mountain climbing trips danced before Inga’s eyes. How she had planned and saved for that trip through the West! Then she could return to work with new vigor after a week of wonderful adventures. Her fingers would burn with anxiety to write: she could write from the bottom of her heart. Her article would be inspired by real, lively, thrilling experiences. Then she would be satisfied. She actually needed that vacation: it would make a new person of her! On the Wednesday of the following week Inga was walking on a lonely path. No it was not the path of a beautiful woods of the West—it was just a secluded cow-path near a farm on the Canadian border. Inga was disgusted: her plans were shattered. Her mother had decided to send her daughter to spend a week with an old couple on a small farm. Pecuniary conditions of the family deemed, it necessary. After walking for hours and hours in the woods, Inga, weary and grave, seated herself ’neath a large motherly oak tree. What fun could she have with two stupid old people? What beauty could she see in those knotted branches? What charms could she find in those brown rotted stumps or in the dead branches that crossed the path? What was worse than a swarm of mosquitoes surrounding her? Poor little reporter, so dull and unhappy! How she hated everything and how she could have sworn herself to be the unluckiest person on earth! What was that? She quickly turned her head. She thought that she was alone but the sounds told her she wasn’t. How wonderful! Her fright left her. Strains of the sweetest music wafted to her ears. It was sweeter than the music of a harp, much softer: for a moment Inga thought she was in fairyland. She was motionless, the strains charmed her; they were too beautiful to be made by human hands. Inga walked toward the sounds. Only a few feet away, hidden behind some bushes, an old man was playing the queerest instrument. His old wrinkled face was thoughtfully bent over ir. His thin fingers touched the strings. His curly gray hair was beautiful. The strains were very original. Suddenly he stopped and for the first time was aware that some one was near. Who are you? he questioned in a broken unsteady voice. Oh, I’m Inga Stevenson from the city. I'm staying with the Marches for a week. I was just sitting underneath that tree when I heard your beautiful music. What is that instrument and where did you get it? she replied. This here? pointing to the instrument, thet’s jes’ m’ harp. I made thet years en' years ago. Ya see m’ Mary en' I had ter hev some music so I jes’ rigged up this fer sort o’ company, he laughed. N A Ohe 1913 POLHR1S A “Did you ever take lessons?’ queried Inga. “Naw, I jes' play. W en I look at m' Mary’s face or at the purty trees out here, I kin play enythin’. Nature kin make enyone play. You jes’ oughter see some o’ our sunsets! Nothin' beats ’em. Come on over end see m’ Mary. I made her a harp too. She'll play fer ya.” He placed the three cornered instrument under his arm and walked down the path. Inga was delighted. How was she ever discontented when people away off from civilization could be so happy. Surely she was going to have an adventure now. A visit to a little log cabin, far. far away—the home of the most interesting people! A visit with some real musicians.! A trip to the West could never equal this. After all. she was lucky. As she followed the old man. she thought of the wonderful articles she could write—full of local color, too. Why. she could write a whole book now! Rauha Laulainen. '23. PEACE I sought it in the cooling depths of the whispering forest; I sought it in the freshness of the morning dew: I sought it in the orchard beneath the songster’s nest; I sought it in the rainbow’s brilliant hue. I travelled far across the seas to lands of wealth and pleasure; I trod the myriad highways of this life; But for all my countless voyages of rest I gained no measure; I found not peace, but toil and endless strife. And so I neared the end; the voice of death was calling; How fruitless seemed this quest for lasting peace: But lo! Upon my ear a child’s sweet voice is falling— My soul drinks in the silvery notes and sings at its release. Blanche McCrae, ’24. LIFE He built a tower, Raised it high— And hoped to complete it.

LITTLE SUNSHINE The wind blew softly over the garden, and the flowers swayed back and forth. Up from the midst of the golden rods appeared a golden head. Was it another golden rod? No, it was Jimmy. He just had to sec where that bug was going, and he had followed it from the house to the garden, where it crawled into a crack in the ground. Jimmy had no sisters or brothers, so his companions were the bugs and his dog. The wind took great delight in blowing his curls from one side of his head to the other. His dog was never so happy as when he was following Jimmy. Everything loved him, and the sun always shone where Jimmy lived. Often he would go down by the stream that flowed a little way back of the house. The waves went rippling down the stream as fast as they could go. They carried his little boats. Sometimes they would leave them on the side, but most of the time they carried them to the big river. Sometimes Jimmy would sit under the big tree and watch his boat of tin soldiers float down the stream. Then the birds would twitter their merriest songs. The waves splashed against the banks in rhythm with the twittering birds. The leaves fell down around him, and seemed to make a bed for him. His head fell lower and lower, and his golden curls blew back and forth, as his big brown eyes watched his boat of soldiers float farther and farther down the stream. His eyelashes closed over his big eyes, and he was soon dreaming that he was floating down the stream in a boat, and then on to the big river, that mother told him was at the end of the stream. Lillian Hatcher, '24. 71 k _“m3 POLHRIS k MINNEWAUNAH AND ORRUGO (Senior Prize Essay) Up in the beautiful green forests of our Minnesota is a large open space that is filled with the waste of mines, ashes, and refuse of all kinds. But it used to be a lake that excelled all the others in beauty. It was rather small and quiet. The deep blue water rippled in tiny waves and glittered in the sunlight. Down deep in the water, swam the happy fishes in and out among the mysterious forests of seaweed. Over this charming kingdom ruled the kind fairy queen, Minnewaunah. with hair the color of the sky. Only one thing troubled this happy kingdom. It was the envious little miser. Orrugo. who lived down in the mud below the lake. His life was spent in gathering and guarding treasures. Although his wealth was many times that of the happy queen, Minnewaunah, he could not. with all his treasures, buy the happiness that she possessed. Several times they had warred, but always had Minnewaunah been the victor. It was the season when nature sleeps. The trees and flowers and grass were covered with a white blanket and the lake with one of glistening crystal. Minnwaunah and her fishes swam about secure from the harms of man. But the black hand of trouble passed over this happy kingdom. Large shadows, those of miners, passed over the lake. The terrified MinnevVaunah heard heavy footsteps and then a queer drilling noise. A black hard machine sank down into the water and down through the mud at the bottom. It was the plan of the miners to drill into the ground below to find if there was iron ore below the lake. The winter was a good time to do it because the ice made a foundation to rest the machine on. The miners found what they had suspected was there, iron ore. When spring came they drained the lake of all the water. Minnewaunah, and her fishes all perished and with them went all the joy and beauty of the place. Orrugo, the miser, down in the mud. was afraid. He wanted his treasures and made up his mind that he would do everything in his power to prevent the miners from succeeding. Orrugo knew they would fill just enough space to put their drilling machine on instead of filling the whole space. Orrugo waited patiently until the miners had erected their shaft, and then he started his mud to work. His tiny dwarfs pushed and pulled the dirty mud about until the pit looked like a volcano. Gradually the filling, that the miners' machine rested on. gave way and the machine sack down into the mud. Orrugo and the miners fought for ten years. Thousands of dollars were spent, and many men were killed. Orrugo was the victor. With mere mud, he had won the fight. And he is still gathering and guarding his treasures down below. But Orrugo is selfish. He does not make the spot happy and beautiful. No more people come to live around the smiling lake. No happy children play on its shores. The sun no longer plays with rippling waves because Minnewaunah, the kind, happy queen is dead.

The early morning with its hopes new-made: the noon with fevered breath of sun; the evening with its weariness ad tired thoughts: it knows them all and unrelenting ticks the hours of pleasure as it marks the hours of pain. Coming people, curious talk and wondering eyes; stories told and told again; fretting, fear and happiness—all throb into the pendulum march, and dainty, black, the slender hands wear out each day, each hope, each deed, each life. Margaret Love Wharton, '23. ‘ THE SHADDERS At night when I lie 'wake in bed. An' just can’t go to sleep. The stranges' thoughts do fill my head. 'At in daytime I don’t keep.

The more progressive of the people became aware of the fact that Europe was dreaming; that the medieval means of working was gradually causing the decay of the nations, so these inventive geniuses strove to better conditions. The transition was the cause of unlimited suffering but in the end —well, read the story and see. In a little village at the foot of the snow-capped Pyrenees lived Marie Joseph Pierre who through the long summer months tended his sheep high among the mountains, while at home Ro-lande. his placid help meet, carded and dyed and wove the fleece that insured shelter and food for the little family. Day after day, Marie, the kindly shepherd, wound his way along the pass up to the lolling pasture that overlooked the village. He never realized the monotony of his task. His delight was to lie down in the verdant sweetsmelling grass and gaze at the blue expanse above him. Sometimes there was wafted through the air the cheery “Bon Jour!” of another shepherd. At noon his small daughter Margot trudged up the path with his simple noon day fare. One day she ran up the pass swiftly and cried out as she reached the level, “Pater, my pater, they have come—the officials—no more can our sheep graze on the level.” Marie Joseph arose with more than usual alertness and responded, No, no, Margot, it is but a dream you have—a fantasy of your child mind.” “My pater, I beheld them with my own eyes.” “Margot’s eyes tell no false tales.” he rejoined sadly and the father and child started for the humble cottage below. Meanwhile the sobbing Rolande remonstrated with the officials. Do not weep, Rolande, I can convince them how unwise it is to take the level from the peasants,” exclaimed Marie stepping up. “My good men,” said one rather insolent looking individual, “sad though it may seem, you have no choice in the matter. The enclosure act has been passed; you will comply. I trust. It is fair. Monsieurs. the land you own in common will be paid to you individually. Each one shall have his own plot of ground.” A murmur of protest arose. “But where shall our sheep graze?” The official stroked his beard thoughtfully and attempted. “There are a number of alternatives: sell your sheep and indulge solely in agriculture or go to the factories; they offer a means of livelihood, or.” in caustic tones, “perhaps your obstinate natures bid you remain here and starve.” “I. for one. will not work in factories—the curse of civilization!” cried Marie Joseph, I will remain, yea, even starve first.” Week after week passed by—Marie Joseph had sold his sheep; the family was reduced to utmost poverty. One by one the families of the little village N 4 ae 1913 “POLHRIS 4 had departed for the great city. The village was deserted, save for Marie who struggled on. “We shall see on the morrow,’' responded the official and was gone. The twilight deepened and still Marie Joseph sat musing, while slowly down his rugged face coursed two tears—at thought of Margot. Within he could hear Rolande crooning a lullaby. At last, growing weary, Marie leaned back against the door and closed his eyes in meditation. In a short while he was asleep—and to him came a wonderful dream. He seemed to walk through the streets of a wonderful dream city; on each side towered buildings that seemed to meet the sky. Clamoring voices, excitement, and queer shrieks and rumblings added to his confusion. Down the street came queer yellow objects filled with dream people. Black vehicles rushed by on wheels, while overhead soared something that circled and dove and then rose straight up to the clouds—and in it there was a man. Following an impelling force that urged him on, he passed through large doors into an immense, awe-inspiring room. Emerging once more into the daylight he walked and walked—away, away, from the dream city, till before him he saw again his little cottage, and seated himself on the door step once more. From out of the stillness around him, a voice whispered, A curse. Marie a curse to civilization?” At dawn when the sun had just cast her rosy fingers over the mountain crests, the official returned. He traversed the well-worn path to the kitchen slowly. Rolande greeted him and bade him enter, while Marie Joseph bowed in humble recognition of his superiority. “Monsieur,” exclaimed the official, “my heart tells me what your answer will be. but oh, that your child may live, will you not relent?” Rolande clasped her hands sorrowfully—and her glance fell on the emaciated, small form of Margot—and then on Marie Joseph, hopefully. With shining, upturned face he cried, “I have decided—I will go to work in the factories!” “Thank God!” exclaimed Rolande. “it is for Margot.” “Yes. responded Marie, “and for civilization.” Florence Krieg, ’26.

The old dead oak tree was clothed in a beautiful coat of ermine. From somewhere the chirping of sparrows was heard. The sun fell on a hard crust of snow, making it all the colors of the rainbow. The broad sweep of prairie was covered with soft, clinging snow. Here and there were beautiful Japanese temples, made by the mischievous wind. The earth was happy, Aurora had come. SUNSET It was a hot, sultry afternoon. Not a breath of air was stirring. The green leaves hung limp and motionless as if giving up the fight. On the lake was a still boat, holding in it a stiller figure. Suddenly from the west timidly ventured a cool, sweet scented breeze. It grew bolder. With gentle, but ever rising force it stirred the world into action. It was the soothing west wind that gives the sun its send-off,—the crier of the cool, restful twilight to come. Lois Bloom, '27. 76 A 3 e 1913 POLHRIS A THE THREE CANDLES The boy has been traveling for a long time, but he is not weary for his path has been through green meadows and along pleasant streams. Now he has reached the heights above the plain, and he is almost ready to explore the great tunnel. At the entrance to the tunnel there is a queer old shop, known as the candle marker’s tent. Here people supply themselves with candles for the long journey through the tunnel. At the entrance to the candle maker's tent, the boy pauses and takes a last look at the bright sunny meadow. He thinks of the days spent there, and wishes that some of them could be lived again. But youth has no time to spend in memories, so the boy enters the candle maker's tent. What a vivid display met his eyes, for there are candles of all sizes, shapes, and colors on the long shelves. The boy chooses three of the bright colored candles and puts two away in his light bundle. The aged candle maker tries to influence the boy in the choice of his candles, but youth has little time to listen to the advice of its elders. The boy is eager to explore the tunnel, so he shoulders his light bundle, and hastens out of the tent. The first steps seem full of adventure, for his burden is still light, and his candle still burns brightly. But soon new cares and new fears arise and the first candle is burnt completely away. The second candle is good in appearance only, for it refuses to burn. The weary boy thinks of the aged candle maker’s words, and despair begins to creep upon him. Eagerly the third candle is lighted and for a short time it burns brightly. The tunnel seems easier to walk in now. and there seem to be fewer cares and worries. On each side of him the youth, now man. sees other men eagerly pushing onward. He longs to join them, but this is impossible for the third candle gives only a few flickering rays. 4 Now the third and last candle is gone, and the man faces gray despair. He can only keep wearily on. for it would be disaster to turn back. Once more he thinks of the aged candle maker’s word. Although this story may seem to be false, it is in truth, a tale of reality. We are now passing through the sunny meadows, and our burden has not grown heavy. We will come to the great tunnel in a few years, and we must have plenty of candles to light our way. Unless we take heed to the words of the ancient candle maker, our lives will reflect the story of the youth of yesterday. to-day. and tomorrow. N Lucy E. Laughlin, ’24. A 1913 POLHRIS AUTUMN I roam in the wood on a beautiful day. My heart is so light and my spirit so gay; All worry and sorrow and care is to me As strange as a tale of a far distant sea. The wind is refreshing; the sky a clear blue; The leaves many colored of brown and gold blue; An artist, no matter how clever he be, Could ne’er bring forth colors so beautifully.

I slowly walked and with the air like balm Filled my breast; and not for much had missed The beauty of that morning; buildings kissed By gleams of sunshine that were rising there Out of the east, like fawns from out their lair Stealing, for food or pleasure as they list, The cover now does a book unfold To show that what seemed strange and new Is merely that which we have seen of old. And now the sky begins to show more blue, The rising sun appears to be more bold And I behold, once more, the things I knew. Frank Fischer, ’22.

A 1913 POLARIS A AN UNDERSTANDING HEART (Junior Prize Essay) Once upon a time there was a Princess. I won't describe her because every one knows what a princess looks like. However, she was more graceful, more beautiful, more kind, and more clever than most princesses. One day when she was picking flowers in a big meadow, she met an Ordinary Child, who was also gathering flowers. She was more ordinary, more awkward, and more stupid than most Ordinary Children. Said the Princess. Oh! How glad I am that I met you. Let us take our flowers and weave them into beautiful garlands. Then the Ordinary Child stared gravely and said. Unhuh.” which was to be expected from an Ordinary Child. So they sat down and began to make wreathes. While they worked, the Princess talked. I think the gentle breeze must be a beautiful lady. She walks softly and gracefully over the flower-covered meadow. Bending her graceful head, she whispers kind words to the timid violets and sings pretty songs to the lovely buttercups. Now she is kissing my check and smoothing my hair with her hand. She smiled sweetly at the Ordinary Child. Do you feel her caresses? she asked. The Ordinary Child gulped twice. Then she merely said. Oh. yes! But her eyes were shining as she looked at the Princess. The Princess raised her eyes to gaze at the warm, golden sun. Then she spoke again: I think the sun is a fiery old man of many sorrows and many joys. Sometimes he is sad and hides his head in his cloudy cloak. Sometimes he is angry and lets the light of his countenance rest too fiercely on the naughty Earth children. Sometimes he is kind and glad. Then the kindly beams of his eyes fall warmly on the earth and gladden the heart of the earth born. Today he is kind and glad. His glad spirit has made me happy. Are you not happy too? she asked the Ordinary Child. For a moment the Ordinary Child looked sorrowful, and the many cares of ordinary children shone in her eyes. Then she smiled gently with her lips and with eyes, also oh. yes. she said gayly. Then she stopped suddenly, for she could find nothing more to say. The Princess looked down at the cool, green Earth. I think the Earth is like a warm, soft, cuddly armchair. It is so soft and so warm and so beautiful that I should like to sit always in its innermost corner, sheltered by its protecting arms. When I shall come to die. I shall be glad to think that the old Earth will hold me fast in its cool embrace. And while I live. I shall always come back to it for comfort in my sorrows.' She looked anxiously at the Ordinary Child. Tell me. she cried, do you not feel the same way about the great kind Earth? Do you not love this wonderful Mother of ours? The Ordinary Child looked thoughtfully down at the Earth. Oh, yes, she said simply. Then there was silence. The Princess and the Ordinary Child worked on together. In the heart of the Princess there was peace and happiness. The Ordinary Child was only an Ordinary Child, but she possessed the greatest of God’s gifts, an understanding heart. N Alberta Knox, '24. A at 1913 POLHRIS A CASTLES OF AIR Have you ever had dreams in your quiet hours? Castles in the air they are perhaps, but they are nevertheless very dear to you. Every great achievement that the world has ever been blessed or cursed with has been the result of a vision seen by some individual. Immense structures can be built only when one man has the ability to see the building before it is erected. Everyone, no matter what his age. creed or social standing, has something in his mind that is his own wish or desire. It may be a dream for personal aspiration or it may be a vision for the emancipation of a people. It has been said that the world has no room for a dreamer. This may be true: yet there is a very great need for them. Every day there is a call for men with ideals. A fool and his money are soon parted, but a man with an ideal or a vision will always advance. He mav not be aware of it, but others will see it in him even tho they do not know the reason. Dream your dreams, plan your plans, and some day your vision will become of material substance. He who cannot see great things in his mind will never see great things in reality. Keep your ambition constantly aflame and thoroughly on your mind and you will be successful. Dream as much as you like, but when Opportunity knocks do not lie beneath the covers feigning sleep. You may never hear her knock again. Carl Schmidt, March, ’23. IN PLAYFUL MOOD When I see her tiny feet.

THE WOOD The wood is a quiet and beautiful place. Where Pan still lives with his happy race; Where the squirrels leap from tree to tree. And the flowers a-blooming are there to see; Where one may sleep by a babbling stream. And see the wood-folk in a dream. The wood is a wonderful place to stay. Where the birds are singing throughout the day; Where one can find the oriole's nest, And see the canary's yellow breast; Where the naiads must strain their eyes with might To see the sun go down at night. The wood is a glad world by itself, Where no one strives for power or pelf; Where one may live as gay and free As a humming bird or bumble bee. There is fostered not a woe. For me the wood is the place to go. N Claude Faber, ’26.

On a cold bleak afternoon, I saw an old man sitting in the public library. His clothes were threadbare, his hands were toil worn, and his eyes, which stared straight ahead, were filled with desolation and despair. All around’ him people were partaking of a rich banquet. There were shelves and shelves of the works of all the great masters in literature. There were books of poetry, fiction, history, and travel; there were many books in foreign languages; there were books which could have made him smile and forget his troubles, which could have taught him to overcome his difficulties, and which could have taken him far away into the land of imagination. What a wealth of food for the mind! Yet the old man did not share in the feast. He could not read. He had found a temporary refuge from the cold, but he could not accept the greater warmth which the library had to offer. The old man looked as though he had often been hungry, physically as well as mentally. Even his soul seemed starved, but I hope he will find a spiritual food which will compensate for the blessings which we have, but which were denied him. Mary Hanrahan, '23. THE FUNERAL He’d whistled in to all our hearts. The little lad next door, And when he died, in grief we wept. Who had not wept before. But in the rooms the light streamed in, The clocks ticked almost glad; T here was no doubting, only peace, And just a bit of sad. His mother, bless her, moved about, And when she spoke, serene. Her child-like faith rebuked our tears For hers was strength supreme. No blackness of long mourning robes, But white—and tender smile. It was as if he’d told us he’d Be back in just a while. How sweet and still he lay and smiled; And to us all it seemed, That as we watched, he whistled soft, And whistling, once more dreamed. Margaret L. Wharton, '23.

And scurrying leaves when I am in the mood. And then of blazing bonfires, bright and red. I tell of raging storms and snowy lands. The wind of winter roared in tone most loud And of the rivers stretched like icy bonds Across a country silent in its winter shroud.

Tf O r sj 2 y% P 4 1913 POLHRIS 4 HI Y CLUB North's Hi Y Club has breasted the tape in the finish of the last school year, having worked, though often failing, and accomplished. The records for the year show that it has been, no doubt, the biggest Hi Y Year North ever saw. The fall term opened with William Rietzke as president over a membership of 35. A number of those members had been to the Hi Y Training Camp and their work in the club helped greatly. Meetings were held each week and good crowds turned out. In November the club entertained the Central Hi Y fellows in our lunchroom. Mr. Tallman. head of all Minnesota Hi Y work, spoke. It was indeed a successful meeting. Four delegates were elected and sent to the Older Boys Conference at Rochester, their expenses being partially paid by the club. Much was obtained by the delegates in the form of inspiration and information. Reports were made upon their return from Rochester. Merrill Clague was elected president at the elections late in November. On Lincoln’s Birthday and on one of the Easter vacation days, the fellows spent a number of happy hours together at the Central “Y.” Swimming, scrimmage ball, group games, and basketball made up the fun. In January a scholarship, two books on Roosevelt, was presented to the best boy student in North. A member of the Sophomore class, Monroe Levins, with the splendid average of “96,” was the winner. Scholarships were presented to Solomon Wasserman, and Charles Christianson in May. The two fellows were tied, “96“ again being the high mark. Six special discussion meetings were held throughout the months of March and April. Such subjects as Everyday in Everyway.” “The Philosophy of a Postage Stamp,” and “The Oldest Boat on Exhibition” were discussed. Men from outside the club came in to lead the discussions. In April the club secured speakers for a special auditorium period for junior and senior boys. At this meeting the purpose of Hi Y. “To create and maintain high standards of Christian character in North High.” was put before the upperclassmen and an invitation was extended to every fellow to join. Mr. F. O. Koehler and Mr. Jackson were the speakers. Two handbooks were edited and sold by the Hi Y fellows. The books were put out for the purpose of educating each individual in his school. The bookroom of the club has set a fast pace during the last year. Ehlert was in charge up to December, and Swenson, the remaining months. The treasury of the club has been in excellent condition throughout 1923. At the two All-City Hi Y gatherings, the Easter morning service, and the “Dad” Elliot Meeting, North was represented. Our club is regarded as one of the best of the six city clubs. Joint meetings were held with Boys’ Triangle Club, the junior Hi Y of North. Fun and big attendance featured all such meetings. Two camp meetings were held to arouse enthusiasm for 1923 camp. Camp was put before the fellows,—they couldn't dodge it, and that’s why North's gang at camp is going to be a big one. The Character Cup and Jeweled Hi Y Pin were again awarded. The outstanding character in the school receiving the first award, and the club's best worker, the second. All in all. it’s been a big year. The officers have met. planned, worked. The club has failed at times, but has engraved its name deeper into the lists of North organizations. Yes. we’ve had some real successes, but another year will find us doing better. Nineteen hundred twenty-three is past—Nineteen hundred twenty-four, watch us. N 5$ BLUE TRIANGLE CLUB M. Annexstad, R.

It has for its purpose, the development of girls mentally, physically. morally, and spiritually. To carry out this purpose the girls meet every other week at the association rooms for a supper and a talk or discussion. Many of the meetings, however, have been held at the school, that is at the installation of officers, the Big Sister Party, the Health Carnival, and the Mothers and Daughters’ banquet. Other interesting talks were a talk on the Passion Play by Miss Gould; the Little Red Devil and the Green Eyed Monster by Ruth Genung; Inasmuch by Miss Mann; New Year's Resolutions by Miss Moses: and Making the Bible Real by Mrs. Jayne: and How Much Do I Cost, by Miss Braden. Besides this, there have been two meetings of the city clubs at the Central Y. W. C. A. at which North was exceedingly well represented. At the beginning of last summer, the club sent two of the girls to Okoboji. Iowa, and one girl to Lyman Lodge. These girls received many ideas and helps from the conferences which have made the club very worth while. At the beginning of the school year a “setting up conference was held at Lyman Lodge which was well attended. T he club has been very ably advised by Miss Elizabeth Braden, “Y” secretary, and by Miss Leet, Miss McClure, and Miss Moses of North High. The officers of the club for this year are President. Everita Edes; Vice-president, Elsie Stoffel; Secretary, Norma Boland: and Treasurer, Constance Kauth. The Committee Chairmen are Ruch McCrae, Noriria Hunt, and Min Bowers.

SILVER TRIANGLE CLUB The Silver Triangle Club, formed to fill the place of the Blue Triangle Club among the Freshman and Sophomore girls, has just completed its first year. The work has been under the leadership of Adeline Bunnell as president, assisted by Miss Leet. Mrs. Koefod, and Mrs. Ze Tur as faculty advisors, and Miss Mears. the Y” secretary. The business of the club is carried on by the eight girls making up the Cabinet, who meet bi-monthly. On the alternate Wednesday afternoons the whole club holds its meetings in the Y. W. C. A. office on Broadway near Bryant. The meetings, carrying out the fourfold program of health, knowledge, service, and spirit, have been interesting and varied. Among the outside speakers have been Mrs. Trafford Jayne who spoke on “A Girl's Garden. Mrs. Bell who gave an illustrated talk on her recent trip to Europe, and Gilbert Mears from the University who spoke on An Ideal Girl from a Boy's Viewpoint. Other meetings have included discussions led by Mrs. Koefod and various members of the club and several social afternoons with the Blue Triangle girls. After the meetings a recreational hour, followed by refreshments or supper has g ven the girls a closer touch with one another. In addition to the meetings. service work in which dinners have been given to needy families and Christmas boxes sent to immigrant children, and activities for the earning of money to extend the club work, have been carried out. N A OfM 1913 POLHRIS GIRLS’ LEAGUE Inasmuch as every girl is automatically made a member when she enters high school, the Girls' League is a democratic organization. The object of the League is to do all it can to further the interests of the school by being helpful in every way possible. The League is made up of representatives from every advisory group in the school. Its working group is called the Service Committee, and consists of one representative from each class division. The work of the Service Committee is a big sister work, for they welcome the freshmen who enter our school by giving them parties to get acquainted and by helping them to find their way around the building at the beginning of the term. It also arranges auditorium periods for the girls or for the whole school when there is anything of particular interest to be featured. The present officers of the League are the following: President. Hallie Brickner: Vice-Presidents Elizabeth Jost, Alice Hoyer; Treasurer, Ruth McCrea: Secretary, Guita Bearman. The class representatives are as follows: Seniors: Norma Boland, Ger- trude Garber. Esther Maxwell: Juniors: Evelyn Horn, Alice Gates, Clara Harlow: Sophomores: Ruby Leeper, Florence Murphy, Cecile Renier; Freshmen: Laura Van Norman, Eleanor DeLace.

BOYS' TRIANGLE CLUB Success of any organization largely depends upon its ambition, purpose, and ideals. The Triangle Club throughout the past year has endeavored to spread highest ideals of scholarship and athletics among the lower classmen. It has tried effectively to live up to its standard “to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community.” The club has succeeded in creating a great spirit of fellowship among its members and all those with whom they come in contact. In the past, present, and future, this club concentrates its efforts in working for the honor, glory, and good fellowship of North. LATIN CLUB A 1913 P0LHR1S POETS’ CLUB I. Hardow, H. Auguntin, J. Biatch, R. Laulaincn. M. Hulbcrt, E. Wcnn. POETS’ CLUB The Poets' Club was organized several years ago for the purpose of encouraging the production of original verse among students. The club has been highly successful during this past year, and the membership is gradually increasing. After studying a number of modern poets, Vachel Lindsay, Angela Morgan. Sara Teasdale. Carl Sandburg, and others, the Club decided to turn its attention to lyrics of authors of the past, notably Shelley. Keats, and Burns. “The Gleam,’’ a magazine of verse for young people, has furnished much inspiration. The Club members are earnestly aspiring to see some of their verses in its pages. At this writing spring subjects, birds, brooks, trees, and flowers claim the attention of the versifiers, and several good poems have been written. A Me m3 POLHRIS A DEBATE TEAM I. Mellnm, T. Abramson, W. Boyer, B. Bearman, Mr. Saxby, J. Acker. DEBATE At the beginning of the year, it seemed as though North would have no team in the debate league, because no coach had been provided for the activity, and there were but two people who had had any experience. Due to the interest and energy of William Boyer, however, enough people came out at different intervals to compose a team. North had entered the state league, so the question was “Resolved that the Kansas type of Industrial Court of Adjudication be established in Minnesota.” North’s first league debate was with Mora. Minn., at Mora on January 15, 1923. Our debaters upheld the affirmative of the question, but were defeated with a 2-1 decision. The second debate was with Central High. Minneapolis, at North on February 9. 1923. Again North upheld the affirmative and this time came thru with flying colors, probably due to the fact that the debate was on the home platform. The decision was 2-1. In that debate Irving Mellam was substituted for Sterling Popple: otherwise, the team was the same. The following debate was away from home: this time in St. Cloud, against St. Cloud Technical High, on March 7, 1923. Beryl Berman. Theodore Abrahamson. and William Boyer journeyed up to the Granite City and debated on the negative of the league question. Again North was defeated: this time with a 3-0 decision. The final debate of the season against St. Paul Central at North on March 30, 1923. Beryl Bearman. John Acker and William Boyer upheld the negative of the question and defeated our opponents with a 2-1 decision. Only thru the efforts of Mr. Saxby was North able to gain what success she had in the year’s debate work. To him goes North's heartiest thanks for the work he was able to do this year. Especially do those who worked with him appreciate his efforts and thank them. -------N---------- 98 k Jbz 1913 P0LHR1S NORTH HIGH PARK BOARD North High Park Board is a true service club and it creates a homelike feeling among the students by appropriately adorning the rooms and corridors with plants from the green house. The Park Board has done a great deal of good work this year. The Halls and the Auditorium were decorated for Armistice Day. Arbor Day. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day. Lincoln's Birthday. Washington’s Birthday. and Memorial Day. At Christmas a contest was held between the rooms on their respective floors for the best decorated rooms. The winners were first floor 101: second floor 214: third floor 318. Sixty-two evergreen trees were used at this time. A truck load of balsam fir trees was sent to the disabled veterans of the Asbury Hospital. Although the Park Board workers are never idle they find time for their good times as well. During the past year they have been especially active along social lines. Three Sunlite dances were given for the school. A wiener roast was held in the fall of the year. The crowning event was the Annual Banquet. A very interesting program was given at that time. One of the numbers was a play Rented a Man written by Margaret Wharton. Those who took part were Margaret Wharton. Lucy Laughlin. Arnold Rydlun. Donald Cameron. Isabelle Blakeslee and William Boyer. The guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Gates and Mr. Hobbs. The officers for the past year were Presidents—Bernice Reynolds. Isabelle Blakeslee, and Margaret Wharton; Vice-presidents—Doris Minnie and Donald Cameron: Secretaries—Marie Guesmer and Etta Wexler; Sergeant-at-Arms— Max Rothchild; Business Manager—Nicolay Jurgens.

GIRL SCOUTS Troop 37, the Pussy Willows, held their meetings at North High. They have three patrols. The girls are working on tenderfoot, second class, first class, and badge tests. The troop has recently received seven new recruits and is continually increasing its membership. Troop 38 is composed of girls who formerly belonged to troop 37. They are all second class scouts except one who is first class. The rest are rapidly approaching that goal. Each girl is required to earn at least one merit badge each badge day. Most of the girls are leaders of troops of younger girls. LET S GO That's a cheery sound that’s coming near. It will make you glad just to stop and hear. The tune's not uncommon; you've heard it before. But the way that it's sung fills the whole out of door. “Oh where do we go from here? is the song Of the gay group of girls who now swing along. They've left gloom behind them: and joy alone reigns, As they tend toward the hills singing jolly refrains. In their knapsacks are lots of eats that you’d like To cheer them up at the end of their hike. T hen night brings its shadows: stars shine midst the trees, There’s a big crackling camp fire and old melodies. In their ranks there’s a place that’s waiting for you. They left it there: knew you’d want to come too. There’s comradeship waiting for you to acclaim. For they’re Girl Scouts; they want you: get into the game! E.

DRAMATIC CLUB During the year 1922-23 the North High Dramatic Club has continued to devote itself to the entertainment of North High students and to the support of its organizations. At the close of the third year of its activity, it can be well pleased with its achievements. In January, the club presented for the entertainment of the Girls’ League “The Storm Spirit,” an original playlet written by a former member. Beulah Wills, class of June ’22. On the evening of April 13, it presented a group of comedies including “Thursday Evening ' by Christopher Morley, “The Wonder Hat” by Hedel and Gordman, and Tarkington's “Beauty and the Jacobin.” The club has purchased a cyclorama drop for the auditorium stage with the proceeds of its productions since September 1921. Last but not least, it has earned very gratifying recognition for itself and for North High School through “The Drama,” official magazine of the Drama League of America. This magazine published in its issue of November 1922 a reproduction of the setting for the first act of Rostaud’s “Romancers.” presented by the club in the 1922 vaudeville, together with an article on classroom dramatics at North High and the organization, purpose, and work of the Dramatic Club.

NORTH HIGH RADIO CLUB The sudden and unexpected use of radio as a national indoor sport has created, as might be expected, a great deal of misunderstanding and confusion of the principles that ' make the wheels go round.” The North High Radio Club has done no inconsiderable bit for the obviation of the many technical problems that confront the average novice. This has been accomplished through the establishment of a permanent information bureau at the regular meetings of the club. Not only has the club, as a whole, done admirable work, but its members have not been obscure personally. Lynne Smeby. founder of the organization, had the good fortune of being the only one west of Chicago who has been heard in both England and France. He has been heard in eleven countries and in most of the states. Raymond Hardenburgh. Paul Smith. Gordon Volken-nant. George Chatfield. and Richard Billet also deserve much credit for their radio work. At present the club numbers among its members two commercial operators and one amateur. There are many more on the road, however, and not many moons will pass before they sprout their proverbial pin feathers. The club has recently received a completely new short wave receiving outfit with a Magnavox and the other necessary auxiliary apparatus. This, with the efficient “all-wave” honeycomb tuner, and the high-powered spark transmitter, make the North High Radio Club one of the best in the city. Every year it has been the custom of the club to stage a radio entertainment of some kind. Last year it was a concert and a moving picture. Since broadcasting was not in vogue at that time, one of the Club members offered his station for the purpose. The club’s activities have always been attended with success, due to the untiring efforts of its members. Its purpose is to help the less experienced radio enthusiasts to get the most from their sets and to furnish the older hams” a place to discuss their ”DX” and the operation of their sets. It provides an opportunity to discuss the various experiments conducted individually and is thus a benefit to all. 4 Ofxe m3 POLRRIS 4 VIKING CLUB N. Hagfin, I. Glindset, J. Erickson, V. Stewart, H.

VIKING CLUB Looking on the successful year of club work just concluded, the North High Viking Club has signed off with the feeling of well-done.” A successful club is a busy club, and the Norsemen have been busy. Miss Farseth, the club adviser, has put much time into bringing success to the organization. At the elections of officers last fall, an excellent set of officers was chosen. Nicolay Jurgens was elected president; Margaret Granning. vice-president; Eleanor Dahl, secretary; Nora Hoel. treasurer; and Oscar Mogard, sergeant-at-arms. Special meetings have been called for at different times. Professor Davies, of the University of Minnesota, was present at one meeting. Mr. Chamberlain. of the Minneapolis Journal staff, spoke at another meeting. Miss Norman, of South High, spoke on Norway and Sweden as she saw them on her trip. All the Viking meetings are full of business and entertainment. A movie was put on by the club in an effort to help out the finances. The Norse department staged their annual silver medal contest, known as the Sigvald Quale contest, again this winter. Dagny Bernertson took first place. Helen Peterson took second place in close competition. Dagny Bernertson went to the gold medal contest and represented North by taking third place. Early in March the Vikings elected new officers. Cyrus Osterhus was the choice for president. Merrill Clague was elected vice-president. The other officers elected were Alice Peterson, secretary; Ella Steen, treasurer; and Arnold Glindset, sergeant-at-arms. Throughout the year the club has kept a steady membership of thirty. 106 k hz 1913 POLHR1S k SIGVALD QUALE WINNERS DAGNY BERNERTSON HELEN PETERSON THE CYRUS NORTHROP RUBBER PLANT (A gift to North High from the late President Emeritus of Minnesota University) 107 ' ' 1913 POLWrTs-4 IDUNA CLUB M.

IDUNA CLUB Students of Swedish, who have been fortunate enough to realize the real joy there is in the knowledge of the great literary men of Sweden, have joined the Swedish organization at North High. This organization is called the Iduna Club, and is under the supervision of Miss Alexis, faculty adviser. Meetings for the past year, which have been held the first and third Wednesdays of every month, have been very interesting, both as a source of literary knowledge and as a source of entertainment. The works and life of Tegner and Rydberg, the two greatest of the Swedish poets, and also men of world fame, such as John Erickson, and Sarle Linne, have been studied most extensively. The entertainment has been furnished by the talented members of the club. To celebrate Hallowe’en and Christmas, the club gave two lively and enjoyable parties. In addition, the members gave a tobogganing party. With the ability of the following officers, the members feel that they have accomplished something worth while: President. George Johnson: Vice-president. Lillian Lindberg: Secretary, Ruth Johnson: Corresponding Secretary, Ethel Osberg. Two prizes are annually awarded to the pupils who make the best progress in Swedish during the school year. The two winners last year were Lillian Lindberg and George Johnson. This year the prizes will also be offered for the two best stories of early Swedish Pioneer Life. The students of Swedish may also compete for the two prizes offered for the best Swedish essay. 108 4 1913 POLHRIS 4 LA TERTULIA R. Orr, H. Tolefaon, G. Merritt. H. Augustin, C. Christianson, E. Jost. LA TERTULIA ?Habla Vd. Espanol? !Si, Si! At least, that is what most of the North High students who belong to La Tertulia can answer, La Tertulia aims to be a practical club, one that benefits its members. The only way to learn Spanish is to use it, think the members of the Spanish Club. So in their meetings no word of English is spoken; Spanish reigns supreme. Plays, songs, games, announcements—all are given in the musical Romance language. During the past year meetings were held once a month. Each time a good program was prepared by the program committee, of which Elizabeth Jost was chairman. Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Selke. Miss Breyfogle, and Miss Holtz also assisted in the club work. Those eligible to be members of La Tertulia are students taking second year Spanish and also those in the first year who have “A grades. The officers for the past year were Charles Christianson, President; Helen Augustin. Vice-president; Russel Orr, Secretary; Gilbert Merritt, Treasurer; and Harry Talefson, Sergeant-at-arms.

JEANNE D'ARC CLUB Although the Jeanne d'Arc Club has been in existence for only two years, it has distinguished itself during this period as a worthy and helpful organization. It was established for the purpose of aiding those in the French department to put their knowledge of French into practical use by taking part in the work of the club. At first the lower classmen were excluded because they lacked a knowledge of the language, but through experience it has been found that better results are obtained when none are excluded. While they may not be able to take an active part at first, they get the spirit of the club by the work of others and make helpful material when they have a broader knowledge of the language. The Jeanne d’Arc has not only proved itself a helpful organization to those in the French department, but has also distinguished itself as a charitable organization. Several needy and worthy families have been cared for on Thanksgiving and Christmas and made to feel life a little more bearable by the sympathy and the practical good gifts of food and clothing sent them by the Jeanne d’Arc. During its existence the club has held interesting meetings on the average of one each month. A program has been given at each meeting in which the talents of the members have entertained the audience. -------M---------- in MILITARY DRILL CORPS 1st Lieutenant, R. Harrington: Sergeants, E.

GIRLS' STRING QUARTET In the spring term, the Girls’ String Quartet organized April 19. took an active part in various musical functions. On April 24. the four girls played several numbers at a Parents and Teachers' meeting. A Christian Endeavor Banquet took place at the Calvary Methodist Church May 4. at which time the quartet played. On Mothers' Day. May 13. the quartet again played at the same church. Supporters of the May Festival felt that more performers were needed, so the quartet was called upon to fill a vacancy. They played on Monday evening. May 21. at the Unitarian Church in conjunction with several other soloists. Besides appearing on school programs, the quartet appeared at various outside gatherings. Due to the fact that Mrs. Ze Tur, director, will not be at North next year, and due to Beryl Berman's graduation from North, the quartet will not be known as the North High String Quartet after June. They will be known as the “Musical Crusaders, and their motto will be “Back to Good Music. Ik 1913 POLHRIS A GIRLS' STRING QUARTET Mrs. Zc Tur, D. Russell, I. Sussmnn. B. Bcarman, L. Andrew:?.

The opera was a great success in every way: musically, dramatically and financially. The Glee Clubs, under the direction of R. T. Tenney, gave one of the most successful radio concerts. March 3, that the people of Minneapolis have yet heard. Twenty-two telegrams were received during the evening and many telephone calls came in also. Letters have come in from as far west as Cheyenne, Wy., and from as far east as Pittsburgh; from as far south as Kansas City. Mo. Friday, March 9. the Glee Clubs gave eight musical numbers from “Erminie” before the Hennepin County Bar Association banquet. They were very well received and had to repeat several numbers. Judge Baldwin praised them highly. About 250 boys and girls tried out for the first Glee Club for the spring term. Mr. Tenney discovered some excellent voices. About twenty new members were admitted. There were two excellent second Glee Clubs during the winter term. 'T he boys' second Glee Club contained forty-five members and the girls' second Glee Club contained about thirty-two. North was very well represented in the high school Glee Club contest for the May festival, on May 25. The first and second Glee Clubs together presented “Rose Maiden” in May. Both Glee Clubs gave excellent numbers at the December and June commencements, thereby completing the most successful musical year in the history of North High School. NORTH HIGH BAND J. Kern, M.

They accompanied the Glee Clubs very well in their production of Erminie. The string section is much better balanced than that of last year. It consists of twelve first violins, twelve second violins, three violas, four cellos, and two bass violas, so that the orchestra has been able to play without a piano. The first public appearance without the use of piano was at the December Commencement. This was the first time in history of the city schools that a high school orchestra played without piano accompaniment. Very few people even noticed that the piano was not used. Monday, March 12th, the first orchestra gave its winter term concert for the pupils, and a great many pupils and teachers said it was the best concert that the orchestra has ever given. The soloist for the occasion was Theodore Berman who gave several beautiful flute solos, accompanied by Frances Yaeger. The string quartet, composed of Aileen Aalbu, first violin: William Lerner, second violin; Mark Yankowitz, viola; Arvid Erickson, cello, also gave a fine selection but were unable to give the best number of their repertoire due to the length of the program. This quartet has appeared several times this year at outside affairs and has made a fine reputation for itself. With proceeds from the opera the lower string section can be strengthened. In two more years North High School should possess a complete symphony orchestra. There are only two complete symphony orchestras in the high schools of the United States; one at Richmond, Ind., and another at Oakland, Cal.; we all hope that North High may soon be third. The second orchestra which numbers about thirty, under the direction of Mrs Ze Tur has developed a great deal. Some of them will be able to make the first orchestra during the spring term.

The Blue and White warriors had two victories and two ties to their credit, while West, who was awarded titular honors, emerged from battle three times on the long end of the count and once with the score knotted. At the beginning of the season North was not considered a serious contender for the championship as Coach Kennedy had only five lettermen. Captain Blustin, Haertel, Cause, Strauss and Gordon, returning to the fold from the mediocre team of 1921. It soon became evident, however, that the Blue and White was in the running with one of the greatest defensive aggregations ever seen in Minneapolis high school circles. Above all. an almost perfect spirit of harmony and co-operation existed between the members and all the men were gentlemen. The Coach told Mr. Hobbs before the season had begun that he probably wouldn’t put out a championship team, but he certainly wouldn’t have ito worry about the eligibility of his players. NORTH 1 2—ALUMNI 12 In the early season practice tilts Coach Kennedy gave all the candidates a chance. The first game of any consequence was that with the Alumni, really the strong 1920 team. Twenty-six North men saw action. Both of North’s touch-downs were made while the first stringers were in the fray. The Blue and White used a short passing game which was responsible for many yards. Captain Blustin. as the engineer of the passing. Havstad. as the receiver, and Haertel starred on the offensive. Redmond. Strauss and Cause scintillated on the line. NORTH 6—ST. PAUL CENTRAL 12 On September 29, North lost the only battle of the season to St. Paul Central. The Blue and White warriors continued to play an open game, and for three quarters they kept the lead. In the fourth period, however, something happened; it began to rain. Aerial attack was useless. and the heavy down-river eleven swept the Polars from their feet, registering two touch-downs. Havstad and Strauss were the shining lights for North. Redmond was out of the fray with several torn ligaments, while Blustin and Gause played altho not fully recovered from injuries. NORTH 7—CENTRAL 0 In a drizzling rain North opened the conference season against Central. The tussle was bitterly fought, and for three quarters it was anybody’s victory. The turning point came in the final period when Knight recovered a fumble. A steady march down the field by the North backs brought the ball to the fifteen yard line. Joe Gordon then went off right tackle, and by dodging and twisting deposited the oval behind the goal post. A moment later he kicked the goal for the only markers of the day. -------N--------- 121 Sam Blustin Kay Haertel FOOTBALL TEAM W. Mandvville (Faculty Manager), R. Kreis, M. T. Kennedy (Coach), F.

North clearly outplayed the Green and White representatives, but the final punch necessary to put the ball over was lacking. Four times did the North men work the ball to within striking distance, and four times did defeat crown their endeavors. When the final whistle sounded, neither team had scored. NORTH 0—EAST 0 Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game in the North stadium. Coach Kennedy's proteges battled the East high eleven to a scoreless tie. In this tilt as in no other, the superb defensive ability of the Polars stood out. In one instance North held the Cardinals, who had four downs in which to score, on the one yard line. Captain Blustin at an end post and 4 Teddy” Knight, backing up the line, exhibited the most sensational defensive play of the year. Almquist was the East luminary. NORTH 2—SOUTH 0 North finished its most successful season in years against South. The contest was hard fought throughout, and was won by the narrow margin of a safety. Gordon and Haertel were the big guns in the North machine, fairly tearing the rival line to shreds by their terrific plunging. On the same day West took the measure of East. 14 to 0. thereby stowing away the championship. The Sportsmanship Trophy was also won by West. 1922 TENNIS SEASON REVIEW Considering the fact that two men who. undoubtedly, could have made a North championship possible were absent from the play, the 1922 tennis season was a huge success. The team won four of its matches to finish ahead of East. Roosevelt. South, and Edison, and lost two. meeting defeat at the hands of the formidable Central and West high court representatives. Titular honors went to Central who boasted of a clean slate with six victories. Mr. Chester L. Saxby coached the team in 1922 due to the resignation of Winworth Williams, the veteran mentor. For their fulfilling the requirements in tennis, official school minor letters were granted to Maurice Lifchitz. Harry Swenson and Jack Saliterman. Milton Nathanson Irving Weinstein and Louis Goldstein were additional members of the team. 123 A Of%e.m3 POLHRIS A 1922 FOOTBALL STATISTICS M. T. Kennedy, Coach Charles Aller, Assistant Coach W. N.

SkoffCn 1923 HOCKEY SEASON After being out of high school hockey competition for six years, it was decided by the Athletic Board of Control that North should again enter a team. Many difficulties, however, intervened in the making of a good combination, foremost among which was the securing of a coach. Three days before the initial scheduled game, John Pettigrew', who had just re-enrolled at North, was procured for the position. Added to this wfas the utter impossibility of a coach to pick the best men and of men to play together in such a brief period of practice. Shortly before the first tilt, the squad met and elected Louis Swenson. Captain. “Lewy” who was later given the name. Camden Flash” proved worthy in every respect to the honor conferred upon him. He was unanimous choice of all the newspapers for all-city berth. The Blue and White sextet finished in fourth place with a .333 percentage, winning two battles and dropping four. Altho North did not win the championship, the season was an important one in that it established the Blue and White in the conference as a participant to be reckoned with, and it gave a good line on future prospects. At the close of the winter term letters were granted Captain Swenson, Havstad, Hay, Hodell, Pehrson, Hagenbuck. Houlihan and Skogen. --------M---------- 127 4 � S5fte 1513 POLRRIS 4 BASKETBALL TEAM M. T. Kennedy (Conch), D. Nnthnnson, H. Snlitcrmnn. A. Redmond, J. Gordon, O. Mogard. G, Bernstein J.

Strausj 1923 BASKETBALL SEASON Judging from a standpoint of the attendance at the games and the caliber of basketball exhibited by the teams, the 1923 basketball season was far below any in the history of the sport in the Minneapolis high schools. When the numerous obstacles, however, that the coach and even the spectator had to confront, this can be no more than expected. The season was a most strenuous one. so strenuous in fact that the coach rarely had opportunity to work his men hard enough to teach them anything. Added to this, there were so many games that the spectator could not afford the time, two days a week, or the money to witness so many contests. Central won the championship after a neck and neck struggle with South, a struggle so close that a third game was necessary to decide the winner. North also gave the Red and Blue basketeers much opposition in their two encounters, losing in the first, 27 to 21. and in the second by the narrow margin of 16 to 1 4. Coach Kennedy began the season with two Iettermen again available for service. His proteges were picked to finish below Hast and West, but they completely surprised sport followers by nosing out both of those schools for third place. At the close of the regular schedule. Jack Libman was elected captain for 1924. k fvt 1913 POLHRIS 4 NORTH 21 —ROOSEVELT 10 North opened the season with a slashing victory over the newly organized Roosevelt quint in the latter's gymnasium. The “Teddies” led at the end of the first half, but could not stop the Blue and White cagers after that. Play for the most part throughout the game was extremely ragged. NORTH 43—VOCATIONAL 4 In the second tilt North buried Coach Lawler's men under a 43 to 4 count. The result of the battle was never in doubt, every man on the North squad getting into the fray. NORTH 12—SOUTH 39 The Blue and White defense crumpled after holding the Orange and Black tossers even, and North bowed in defeat for the first time of the season. South exhibited a wonderful offensive which fairly swept the North men from their feet. NORTH 19—EAST 23 Weak defensive play again proved the undoing of the North combination. The game was a nip and tuck affair all the way. Redmond was North’s steadiest performer. NORTH 26—EDISON 1 2 A whirlwind finish enabled the Blue and White to take the measure of Edison in the fifth tussle. Both teams showed amazing accuracy in the shooting department, Lifchitz registering six field goals. NORTH 21— CENTRAL 27 After staging a remarkable comeback, North went down to defeat fighting before the onslaught of the Central aggregation. Wretched defensive play in the second quarter, when the Red and Blue scored eleven points, was largely responsible for the defeat. NpRTH 7—WEST 10 Inconsistent foul shooting spoiled North’s chances of defeating West. The battle was marred by rough play, and, without a doubt, brought forth the worst caliber of ball of the season. NORTH 20—ROOSEVELT 11 Before the smallest crowd that ever witnessed a conference clash in the Blue and White gymnasium, North took the Roosevelt five into camp for the second time of the season. The conflict was almost a duplication of initial one between the two teams. NORTH 20—VOCATIONAL 5 Improving in team play and basket shooting as the battle progressed, the North tossers garnered their fifth win at the expense of Vocational in the South high gymnasium. NORTH 10—SpUTH 25 Completely bewildered by the dazzling attack of the South basketeers. North suffered its worst defeat of the season on its own floor. Uncanny ability to locate the basket by the Orange and Black was the one redeeming feature of the game. NORTH 12—EAST 9 Coach Kennedy’s proteges stayed in the third place race by downing East on the West court. Marked unfamiliarity with the floor and the baskets was shown by all the men. NORTH 23—EDISON 15 After being held even in the initial period, the North cagers found themselves and inflicted a 23 to 15 defeat upon the Edison tossers. It was the seventh triumph of the season for the Blue and White. 129 A .5 1® 1913 POLHRIS A NORTH 14—CENTRAL 16 Errors at critical moments in the closing stages of the game cost the Polars a well-earned victory in the second encounter with Central. While he was in the fray. Libman played sensationally for North. He was forced out in the second quarter after a collision with Beum, the husky Central guard. NORTH 24—WEST 22 In the most spirited game of the year. North closed a successful season by defeating West, thereby winning third place. The Blue and White secured an early lead which proved to be necessary for victory. Blustin. Lifchitz, and Gordon ended their high school careers with this game. 1923 BASKETBALL STATISTICS M. T.

Galantcr INDOOR TRACK SEASON 1923 In 1923 North had one of its most extensive indoor track campaigns in years. The regular schedule provided for four meets, and two extra meets were secured with St. Paul Central and Mechanics Arts by Coach A Her. Of these six clashes the Blue and White won three, a very good record considering the inexperience of the squad in general. When the first call was sounded, there were only four lettermen back. Charles Christianson, veteran middle distance runner, was elected captain for both indoor and outdoor track. Winworth Williams was procured to assist Coach Aller. Probably the biggest feature of the indoor season was the breaking of the old record of Horace Taylor in the pole vault by Ronald Havstad. The new mark of ten feet 3 and five-eighth inches was made in the competition against Mechanics Arts. Havstad also was a consistent scorer in the 440 yard run. Christianson, Kotz. Galanter and Haertel were other high point winners. Altho the season did not offer much opportunity for practice or development as the gymnasium was in use so much by the basketball team, the experience gained from actually taking part in a meet was valuable. A large squad of men remained out during the entire season, and competition for places on the team was unusually keen. 4 m e 1913 P0LHR1S 4 Several new men who were out proved themselves capable of exceptional things and did well: Harry Faue in the broad jump; Louis Erdman in the 220 yard dash and Maurice Berman in the half mile. Kronzer and Keifer also did well in some instances. NOVICE MEET Altho no startling performances were made, the annual novice meet was a huge success. All the events run off were closely-contested, with little or nothing to choose between some of the participants. Rucben Galanter with eighteen points was individual high scorer. BLUE AND WHITE MEET In a practice meet between members of the squad, the Whites, coached by Williams and captained by Christianson, took the measure of the Blues by a forty to twenty-eight score. Christianson with eighteen points, Kronzer and Gibbs starred for the Whites, while Sperling and Galanter scintillated for the Blues. NORTH 13—WEST 82 West overwhelmed North in the first regular meet of the year. Captain Christianson was the only Blue and White man who showed real form, making eight of his team’s points through a first in the half mile and a second in the 440 yard run. NORTH 39—SOUTH 31 Faring well in the running but losing out in the field events, the North tracksters were handed their second straight defeat by South. Christianson was again high point winner for North. NORTH 5—CENTRAL 90 The Central meet was a walkaway. “Christy,’' who had placed first in both the West and South clashes, failed to score a single point. North’s markers came through Havstad's tie for the first in the pole vault and Fauc’s tie for third in the broad jump. NORTH 52—EDISON 43 This was the first meet in which North came into its own. Havstad with ten points and Kotz with eight were the big cogs in the Blue and White machine. NORTH 47 1 5—ST. PAUL CENTRAL 28 4 5 In a meet closer than the score indicates, the Blue and White won their second victory of the year over the highly touted St. Paul Central team. Havstad, Kotz and Sperling were high point getters for North. NORTH 48—MECHANICS ARTS 46 Havstad’s leap for a new school record was the feature of the meet. The Blue and White pole vault star went ten feet five and five-eighths inches, breaking the old mark by five and five-eighths inches. Christianson. Haertel and Acker also counted heavily for North.

The season was cause for much joy in the Blue and White camp for Coach Kennedy had gathered together a group of only mediocre performers and had developed a fast, scrappy combination. As in the other sports, prior to the opening games, the North representatives were not conceded a chance, whatever, in the league; but again they upset the old dope bucket. Five victories, two defeats and one tie, a spectacular eleven inning battle with East, was the record that the boys established for North high school. On April 28. the lid was pryed open with North encountering the crack East nine. Hopes for gaining victory or even holding the score down were at a low ebb. Captain Donald Houck was chosen to hurl for the Blue 'and White with Peter Guzy on the mound for the Cardinals. It was a pitching duel, one of the prettiest of the season. Both men were in rare form, Houck allowing four safeties and his opponent one, made by Hjalmar Hawkinson in the seventh session. For eight innings the game was scoreless. In the ninth. King Baseball decided to flip a coin. East won the toss, two errors behind Houck bringing in the lone tally of the game. North was down but not out. A sensational rally in the ninth frame against South proved the only means of salvation in the second tussle. North completely batted around in this -------N---------- 133 4 Jhe, 1913 POLHRIS 4 inning, and overcame a four run lead. When the smoke of battle had cleared away. North was hailed the victor, 10 to 9. Person's long four ply wallop and Shussin’s airtight twirling after relieving Houch were the features. By ringing homers when they were needed, the Blue and White outpointed West in another wild struggle, 12 to 11. Pawlcevn and Shussin were the swat kings, each being credited with a single and a four base clout. Ability to take advantage of the breaks brought North its third triumph of the season and its second over South by a score of 7 to 6. Pawlceyn continued his hard hitting with a pair of safeties, one a homer. Hitting the Central tossers all over the lot. the Blue and White diamond athletes fought their way to another win. Spectacular catches by Grossman and Persons thrilled the crowds constantly. As for swatting, “Pete’’ Pawlceyn landed on one in the eighth inning, a terrific wallop, which was easily good for four sacks. The final score stood at 10 to 5. Shussin’s exceptional twirling enabled North to take the measure of Central in their second meeting, 7 to 1. In this game, Shussin equaled the season’s strike out record of fourteen. Dispute and arguing marred the second tilt against West. The Green and White were given an 8 to 7 decision by the umpire which was upheld despite protest by North. All eyes were pointed toward the final game of the year against East. Expecting to see another exhibition of superb baseball, the largest crowd of the season was on hand at Nicollet Park. Houck and Guzy were again assigned the pitching burdens. The teams battled for eleven innings with the score finally knotted at one all, rain halting the procedure. Guzy was hit more freely in this conflict, and was relieved in the ninth by Merrick whom the Blue and White pastimers could not touch. A hard drive by Pawlceyn which went for three bases and Grossman’s phenomenal fielding were the big features. The game marked the close of the most successful season in years.

Haertel 1922 OUTDOOR TRACK SEASON With only one dependable first place man in Maurice Libman, the 1922 outdoor track team was lacking in steady performers, men who absolutely could be relied upon to score for North. Libman did exceptionally well, winning his favorite event, the discus throw, in every meet. Several times he narrowly missed establishing a new city record. Captain Kelley in the javelin and Blakeslee in the hurdles were other consistent men. On May 6 North entered the Hamline Relays. The two mile team, composed of Kolderie, Eaton, Sperling, and Christianson, ran a splendid race, getting third. The one mile quartet also scored for the Blue and White with a fourth place. Considering the class of the schools competing, the showing was favorable. In the City Meet, West romped off with high honors for the fifth consecutive year, amassing a total of 66l points. East followed with 26 VL Owing to the strong wind and slow track, no new marks were made. North counted 8 1 3 points. The Blue and White seemed to work in hard luck all afternoon. Bergland, a sure scorer in the low hurdles, fell over the last stick after leading the field. The injuries suffered in this meet kept him from doing his best during the rest of the season. 187 M MV ma POLARis A North did considerable better in the Twin City Meet held at Northrop Field on May 19. West again annihilated all other contenders for cinder honors. Rugg of West with eighteen markers was individual star of the competition. Libman clearly demonstrated his supremacy in the discus throw by heaving the sphere 113 feet 8} 2 inches, five feet further than his nearest rival. Kelley took second in the javelin. For the third time of the season, the colors of the Green and White of West floated high above those of the other schools in the invitation meet at Carleton college. An ideal day greeted the tracksters, and eight records were shattered, three in the twin city group. Orville Matthews of East ended his prep school career in a blaze of glory, breaking the records in the 440 and 880 yard runs. His time for the quarter mile was 52 second flat and for the half mile 2:01 1 5. Walter Naused of North was the former holder of both marks. Earl Hershman sprung a surprise when he copped third in the javelin. Tom BJakeslee, Maurice Libman and Ray Kelley finished their high schooj athletic careers in the meet at Carleton.

When the season opened, two lettermen, Eaton and Christianson, were in school, and they were soon lost to the team. The former elected to perform the duties of football financial manager, while the latter received an injury to his arms which bothered him so much that he was forced to give up running for a time. As former coach Aller had to assist Mr. Kennedy in handling the football candidates, the runners really were without the services of a coach. Cameron Porter was the heavy scorer for North and. indeed, the find of the season. He was only a sophomore, and when he moved to California early in December, future track prospects were dealt a serious blow. Letters at the close of the season were awarded Theodore Berman. Cameron Porter, Samuel Lewis and Bennett Peterson. ------N--------- 198 kl I i3 polWrfs 4 ATHLETIC BOARD E. Nelson, G. Gilbert, F. George, L. Levine, L Weinstein, S. Levin I. Taylor, H. Brickner, E.

Time: Not so very long ago. Place: Near North High. With the assistance of blocks, colored animal pictures, rubber bands and the wads of paper necessary for artillery they became educated. Thru “Abou Ben Adhem, the ‘'War of 1812, and “My Country ’Tis of Thee.” they journeyed and finally— One morning they entered the awe-inspiring portals of North High School, the Little Eva and the Student Sam. Grimly they learned what Fate can do to a freshman, what wisdom does to a sophomore, and what love does for the Junior, and— VOLUME II CHAPTER I “Now,” said Miss Leet to her beginning class in Journalism,’’ the most important factors to possess in Journalism are the following: tact, initiative, determination, and. .last but not least, a nose for news. “In other words,” chimed in Sam, “people must have a ‘nose that knows.' “ “Exactly. said Miss Leet as the passing bell rang. “Now for tomorrow’s assignment I want each of you to bring in an editorial, and, in addition, study the first seven sections in Griever and Jones. But the assignment was not heard by Sam. He had already closed the door behind him. k Oh 1913 POLHR1S k CHAPTER II The next day brought the class together again. “I didn’t know we were to have editorials for today.” volunteered Sam. as soon as the class had adjusted itself among the various desks, typewriters and waste-baskets that are fixtures of the Polaris Oft ice. ‘‘That’s a poor way to commence the quarter. Sam,” reprimmanded Miss Leet. ‘‘I should like to have a little talk with you privately sometime. As you have no editorial today, bring one tomorow and. in addition, a feature story. Now, Eva, read your editorial and the class will offer comment.” CHAPTER III Little Eva managed to get her feet and read the following: ‘‘There is a long history to news. Eve was the originator of it and the first reporter. She became a reporter when she told Adam that the apple tasted good. That was the first news ever peddled, and we aint heard the last of it yet. David and Goliath are good examples of news items. Goliath had been advertised pretty good, but when David came along and killed him, it was a feature story. There was lots of Society news in those days like when Esther went to the king’s palace, without an invitation, to plead for her people. The people probably hung around waiting for the news to see if Esther had vamped the king and saved them or not. The Society reporter wasn’t very good or we would have found out whether she wore a spring suit or an ermine wrap. Nowadays we got Davids and Goliaths and Apples right here at North, but what we need is reporters to tell about them. so. come on out and write ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people,' please.” Just then Miss Burgess opened the door. Miss Leet, you are wanted in the office—a telephone call.” So Miss Leet went to the office and spent the remainder of the period there. CHAPTER IV Wherein we shall follow Sam’s adventures as chronicled in his own write-ups. “Mathematics is the original health-builder. If you don’t believe it, look at Mr. Street and Mr. Leslie—they are both strong and active. They both teach Math. This reporter went into one of the Algebra classes and was really convinced that the students didn’t know very much. The teacher told them to go to the board and put on their problems. There was considerable comparing of papers and then each one finally found a place at the board and wrote down his convict number. According to what the reporter discovered, there is no reason why anyone can’t do Algebra if he knows his A-B-Cs. Each student made a fuss and then one wrote down: A=25 tons of salt. B=3 x t of the amount of water. X=2 coal carts. Y= the time required. Of course this reporter could see that the student was wrong. Most people know that A doesn't equal 25 tons of salt. It's a letter in the alphabet. But seeing I was only a visitor I didn’t say anything. He put down a lotta other figures that didn’t mean anything as far as I could see, except that it made a lot of hard work for the janitor who would probably have to erase them, and then he said that Y—2 days. Of course the answer was wrong (I was able to see that immediately) but as the teacher had left his answer book at home he couldn’t safely disagree, so he said, ‘Do the next problem.’ When he said that, I knew that an Algebra class was no place for an educated person. I didn’t want to embarrass any one by showing I knew more than they did, so I left the room to write up this article on Mathematics.” -------N----------- 149 37ie 1913 POLRRIS 4 CHAPTER V Sam grew tired of trying to comprehend the mathematics departments so he sat down and laboriously wrote the following: FEATURE STORY There are all kinds of features, especially on women. Some features are like nomads. They wander from one place to another. For instance, the other evening I went to a movie and a man and a woman came in and sat down in the back row. After the show I went out. and so did they. I noticed that one side of her face looked kind of expressionless, but when I saw his shoulder I saw the expression was on it. Then again there are the expressions when the teachers think you haven’t your lessons and you prove to them that you have. It's one of those sorry looks, as though they would have enjoyed “bawling you out more than hearing you recite. There are also those serviceable expressions or features that the Flappers wear. They don’t need to wash. All they have to do is to take some more feature from the Vanity cases and use it to cover up the feature already there. It may look kind of sorry but they think it looks O. K. Sam had just finished writing and was about to enjoy a nap, when he was forced to flee, because of a familiar figure, with glasses in one hand and a bundle of announcements in the other, who was coming out of the office wearing features that indicated business in Sam's direction. But Sam, ever resourceful, was on his way in search of other write-ups. CHAPTER VI Wherein Sam discloses some interesting facts about the R. O. T. C. “The North High Army is a wonderful organization. The three companies. made up of squads, corporals, and others, meet now and then to give the officers a chance to bawl somebody out. A fellow with three silver vest buttons on his shoulder stood on one side of the gym, and then a fellow with a patch between his shoulder and elbow got out in front of him and yelled something that sounded like 'Fall in!' but nobody fell into anything as far as I could see. Instead they all got into line in front of the guy with the vest buttons, and then the guy with the patch sneezed about fifty times and after every .sneeze someone yelled. ‘Here!’ Once in a while they forgot, and he put a cross in his book. I suppose that was a demerit mark for not appreciating his cold. Then the fellow with the patch turned to the one with the vest buttons, and brought his hand up to his head sudden-like but he thought better of it and snapped it down again. The guy with the vest buttons did the same thing and then ’Patchy’ said. ‘Four men absent, sir.’ “Vest Buttons' then said. ‘Take your post!!'—I looked all over the just hid behind the first fellow of the rear rank of the first squad. The corporals started sneezing, and every time they sneezed the men walked in a different place but I couldn’t see a post of any kind, and neither could ‘Patchy’ so he direction. It just dawned on me after about five minutes sneezing by the corps that they all had colds, and the men were afraid of catching them. I decided it was an insanitary place, and left, pitying those misguided men who ran about the gym trying to get out of range of the sneezers. CHAPTER VII Following this narrow escape, our hero found himself in need of refreshments and stimulants. He went to lunch, and after the ordeal of obtaining it was over, he disappeared. It was rumored that he went home, but wait a while. A 1913 POLHRIS 4 A 3fte 1913 POLHRIS A CHAPTER VIII In which the reader follows the adventures of little Eva. Little Eva started out bravely on her mission of news gathering. The savory odors of cooking drifted up from the Domestic Science room, and little Eva promptly drifted down, more than willing to meet them half way. “My, I’m glad I came down to the Domestic Silence room for a visit. They’re cooking Spanish Rice—Guess I’ll stay awhile. Domestic Silence is a great thing for girls,’’ she further ruminated, “It teaches them to cook silently and besides, they will never be 'Bachelor girls. That is if that old proverb is true that says 'The way to a man’s heart is thru his stomach.’—Oh here is the Spanish Rice!” Little Eva sighed as she finished her Spanish Rice, and as there was no further incentive for remaining, she slipped out. The next place to be honored by her presence was the Commercial Department. As she entered, she looked in vain for a quiet spot amid the busily clicking typewriters. She settled herself on a flat-topped desk at the back of the room. She was weary from her long walk from the basement to the third floor, and the hum of typewriters soothed her till her head simply would not hold up and—Well let her continue— CHAPTER IX “I like to hear typewriting. I was just thinking about it when I found myself walking through what seemed to be a huge castle. But it wasn't a castle because everyone was typing. Someone touched me on the shoulder, saying, ‘You had better come with me if you don’t want to be crushed. The whistle blows in a minute, and as they are all North High Graduates, they all dash to the lunchroom when they hear a bell.’ Just then a bell rang right through my dream, and I discovered that 1 had been sleeping, and that everyone was rushing to the lunchroom. I wasn't very hungry, however, so I decided to visit the language classes. I’ll try Spanish first, because Spanish Rice is awfully good.” Cautiously our heroine opened the door—“Hable vd. en espanol. I Caramba! El Polaris es un periodico muy bueno, i no es verdad?” “Good gracious!” murmured Little Eva, “that’s no place for me. Spanish may be all right, but—” “May I listen to your recitation?” asked Little Eva as she entered Mrs. Whittet’s French class. “Parlez en francais!!! Parlez en francais!!! On ne peut pas employer 1’ anglais ici!!!” exclaimed Mrs. Whittet suddenly turning—but Little Eva wasn’t there. “I guess I'll visit the Latin class.” “Translate.” said Miss Burgess. “Haec in Gallia est importantus.” “Humph!” exclaimed Little Eva to herself, “that's simple. Hike into Gaul, it’s important. I suppose they call Latin a dead language because it’s dead easy?” As the recitation progressed, however, she changed her mind. It was obviously termed dead on account of the subjects discussed. At last she hurried out, remembering her experience in the last department, and not wishing to repeat it. “I guess I was not meant for a Latin student, either.” she told herself emphatically. CHAPTER X Little Eva did not care to experiment further in languages. She suddenly remembered a very important engagement. Of course, she should be in class, but class wasn't half so important as this date. She was perplexed for a moment how could she explain next day her absence from class, but she SOMETHING HAPPENED N A J� te 1913 POLRRIS A soon dismissed her anxiety. “I’ll get Miss Leet to give me an admit saying I was getting a special write-up or something.” With these words she hurried downstairs. She went towards the janitor s room, where thru the door could be seen huge garbage cans lined along the wall. She was evidently early for she saw no one about. As she leaned against the door, her ears caught a distinctly metallic sound. There was no mistaking its identity. Someone was lifting one of the covers of a garbage can. She faced about, and saw. to her amazement, one of the covers on a can slowly rising. A hand appeared—then another—then a head—it was Sam! Sam climbed from the can as gracefully as possible under the circumstances. and gave a gasp of relief. “Oh. Boy. I sure thought Mr. Hobbs had me that time!” “Did you want to see me this period ?” asked little Eva too innocently. “YE—es, I-I-I w-wanted to ask you—something. “Go ahead. I’m a good listener.” “Well, you—I mean I—you are eighteen and—I—errrr—aaaaah—I am —I mean I will be twenty-one in two years, so I was just going to ask you if you thought that, maybe you wouldn't stay an old maid all your life— so I was just going to ask you if you would—“ “Here, where do you two belong this period?” Sam and little Eva turned and sped hand in hand, dropping three valuable stories for publication in the “Speak Your Mind column of the Polaris Weekly. PRINCIPLES The principal at North is Mr. Hobbs. North would not be North without him who inspires awe in Senior and Freshman alike. It is both hard and easy to see him. depending on where you see him. If you have skipped class and are sneaking down the hall you are most likely to see him. However, if you attempt to approach him in his office, you have to arm yourself with a pink slip, and argue with the office force to get past the “gates” before being shown into the presence. The principal occupations of our principal are detecting truant students during class periods. and prying students off Joan of Arc during lunch periods. In auditorium, his favorite pose is standing with a bundle of announcements in one hand and his spectacles in the other, while telling the story of the industrious motor man who got ahead, and of the lazy conductor who didn’t, or any others of his favorite stories with a moral. Principals have an easy time of it because nobody can order them around. -N— 164 4 7h 1913 POLHRIS 4 — ► A CJTie 1913 POLHR1S A TEACHERS There are all kinds of teachers in school. For example there is the kind that is always assigning homework that is unnecessary and then expects you to have it done the next day, and then there are teachers who assign homework and if you do it they don’t collect it or mark it, and if you don’t do it they do both, which proves about how consistent the average teacher is or isn’t depending on which it is. Then again there is the teacher who marks you on whether or not you know the lesson and if you don't know and she says Tell all you know about the less, and you say, I don’t know anything, which is true and is also all you know. Then she gives you a flunk which proves some teachers flunk you if you answer right or wrong. A great many teachers expect too much. Then there is only one thing left which probably isn’t right but passes you with an A’’ average, and that is talk to her about something you don’t know much about and she does and thinks you might so she takes up the time talking about it and all you have to do is keep from going to sleep and occasionally agreeing with her for politeness sake. There are lots of other kinds of teachers which I won’t discuss because I don’t need to as I already have written over three hundred and fifty words. There are all kinds of pupils in school. There is the kind that asks questions to take up the class time and usually the question is as near a relative to the lesson as the north pole is to the south pole. Then there is the kind that come to class and say Oh, how embarrassing, I studied the wrong lesson! Lots of fellows come to class and tell all about everything except the lesson, generally picking out something that the teacher is interested in. Then there is the kind of student that loses his books conveniently or mislays his locker key immediately before class. Some students think that the main lesson to learn is how to get a pink slip, and to get thru the term with the least amount of studying. The rest of the articles called pupils are either valedictorians or else freshmen. —N------------ 166 A m3 POLHRIS A CONTEMPLATION Jus’ don’t feel a bit like stud’in', Bout Commercial Law— What's the use.

Boy— One of your apples fell down and I'm trying to put it back.” The House And Its Master The banners and trophies displayed in the great halls of the masters of the middle ages told, in decoration, of their achievements.
