As you peruse it, the many pictures will nudge your memory, and other great moments will unroll before your mind's eye. This book is a departure from the usual theme of memory for mem- ory's sake. In 1943 we know that the outcome of the war means every- thing-or nothingl We have geared ourselves for deeper thinking and tougher going. The bedrock truths upon which our forefathers founded this nation have a new meaning for us. Penny and'Pete, long prototypes of North's students, walk briskly through the seven divisions of this book, arm in arm with North alumni representing Uncle Sam's armed services. When the history of this war is written, the high school of 1943 will have a part in that history. This book unfolds a story of high school life at North proving, we believe, that H7144 .94 WMM 4114 THB Punrosr. of this nation in the great World War is to serve human- ity rather than to gain power of material resources, wrote Waldo W. Hobbs just twenty-four years ago this spring. Principal of North High School from 1892 to 1934, Mr. Hobbs laid ion that made North a school notable for excellence in scholarship, sportsmanship, and leadership. His will to do right, said one of .his pupils, led his students on. His stern yet gentle integrity the foundat moulded their lives. Mr. Hobbs passed away on April 2, 1943. wid 1 blog: ,. 1 .
