The years of high school life are filled with pleasing experiences before you enter upon the more serious duties of life. The three years of your senior high school course recorded in North’s annuals should be a source of pride and an incentive to continued honorable records in after years. I most sincerely wish the classes of 1934 a worthwhile future and hope they may be present at every alumni gathering in spirit, if not in person. Let all who cannot be present send greetings to their classes upon such occasions, so that they may continue that bond of friendship which should never be forgotten. Waldo W. Hobbs, Principal. As another year comes to a close, we again view in retro-spect what we have done as compared with what we might have done. Such appraisal will Ik- of little value unless we profit by these experiences and use them to our future betterment. Our greatest joys are joys of accomplishment. Only those who have done something worthwhile have experienced this thrill of attainment. It is my hope that each one of you will enjoy the vacation season to the full anti will find your place in the fall, prepared to do your part during the year that is to come. Frederick W. Gates.
