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.

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 .
