mQ WWf wWmWWlMWw41fWWpfM mWwfmWwfwfffwfWWzQa POREWORD The development of North High has, in the main, been like that of the other High Schools and especially those of Minneapolis. Those who have been acquainted longest with this school recall some things in which it has been a pioneer. Literary Societies were made very prominent early in the history of this school and will be clearly recalled by the first graduating classes. Those Junior and Senior societies served to entertain and benefit the members and student body long before the many other activities, now well known, were organized or attempted. ln fact, they served in a combined way what are now known under the titles of Debate, Dramatic Club, Musical Organizations, as well as many others. Early in the history of this school Debate was prominently developed and while most schools have neglected or dropped Wir, North High has constantly kept it alive and made a creditable showing, frequently winning the champion- ship of this Congressional District and even getting into the State finals. The lirst few years of our experience show the school organized much as our Junior and Senior High departments are now managed. We then called it Departmental work. This plan was later followed by many other schools. Several years before other schools organized a lunch service, North High had what one member of the Board of Education facetiously called, North High's vertical lunch. This school was the first High School of this city to have an Athletic field of its own and now has a better one, the pride of the North Side and the envy of the whole city. Each year the school has adopted a slogan as a rallying cry to better work. 1923, Careful preparation assures success. l924, Play the game earnestly and fairly. The development of the physical plant has been a source of pride and satisfaction to this school and North Side citizens. ln l895 the original build- ing on this site seemed very fine and complete compared with the old building now called the Logan. Then came the addition of the South wing, used for Manual Training and Commercial work. ln a few years the North Wing was built. While the auditorium wing and Gyms were in course of construction, the fire of l9l3 destroyed our building, but out of the ashes arose a new and fire-proof construction while we travelled for a year to the old Central High. now called Vocational High School. In due time we added the Automobile Shop and Greenhouse and now we have just entered our latest addition with its many conveniences for Study, Music, Recitation, Domestic Science, and Dramatic work. One of the greatest factors to arouse pride in our school has been the loyalty of all alumni. Yearly at our Alumni reception, the evening following our June Commencement, a large portion of all classes graduated get together and furnish a spirit of optimism and encouragement which does much to carry us through the following year. To the classes graduating in l925, to the Undergraduates generally, and to the Faculty, I offer this challenge: Shall neXt year see better and greater things done for North High? I know North High well enough to believe We shall successfully meet this challenge. s
