EXPLORERS OF LEARNING This picture, taken from the first North High Annual, the Walla-KaZoo of 1906, shows the inconvenience of studying in the halls.

The library is the mainstay of the school. In it the students may do research for all of their subjects with the willing assistance of our two librarians, I lelcn Ulvcstad and Mrs. Agnes Wciland. In addition to research material, there is also available a large selection of current fiction and periodicals. ENGLISH It is through the study of English that the student comes to a realization of the .ist insight into human nature to Ik found in literature. By studying Shakespeare, Chaucer, anti the other masters down to the contemporary Carl Sandburg and James Thurber he learns of the varying trends in man's thinking and ways of living. In the study of the English language itself, the student learns to express himself accurately and concisely and to communicate more easily and fluently.
