QW WHERE THERE IS NO VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH Our forefathers over one hundred years ago had visions relative to the territory lying west of the Mississippi for in the year 1846 they settled on the west bank of that river and founded what we now know as the city of Minneapolis. They must have seen, as they looked into the future, that on this spot could be built a great industrial and manufacturing center because the area had St. Anthony Falls, the rich agri- cultural land, and the river for transportation. About this same time there was established the first school in this entire territory on the site where the First Presbyterian Church in St. Paul now stands. Today, because of the vision of these forefathers, Minne- apolis is a city teeming with over halfa million population, industries, factories, beautiful parks, lakes, and a school system second to none in the United States. I cannot men- tion all the advancements that have been made since your days of Kindergarten, nor can I attempt to forecast the pro- gress to be made within the next decade or two. VVhatever this advancement, you must be prepared to take your place in this scientific world of ours. You must likewise have vis- ions of the future and share your ideas with those with whom you work. Victor Hugo is credited with saying, There is one power mightier than the armiesg it is an idea whose turn has come. Students of North, and especially you members ofthe Senior Class, in your education of today ride with me on your space ship and have the clear vision of associating yourself with those ideals and ideas that are right. Train your mind to have the correct mental attitude not alone in your work here at school but in your future walk of life. Then, with a clear vision ofthe future, the creation of worth- while ideals and ideas, and a correct mental altitude your space ship will sail into port a credit to all mankind. truly an honor to your alma mater, North High School. 217, ZQAW Principal .. ip., ffl. -fa-vw., .. J - , 9 CAREFUL PLANNING INSURES FUTURE DIVIDENDS To all who are planning for the future may your days ahead be cheery and bright. Clear your sights and look toward your goal. Keep your footsteps plodding in the right direction. Even though there may be stum- bling blocks in the way., turn these stumbling blocks into stepping stones so that you might rise higher. Yes, rise higher so that you may survey the road yet to trav- el. It is aptly stated in this saying, Those who live in the mountain have a longer day than those who live in the valley. Sometimes all we need to brighten our day is to rise a little higher. Someone may say, It is too difficult to attain my goal. Yes, perhaps that may be so. However. we in Education are trying to give you the tools so that you will be better prepared to do your life's work: better prepared to become a good citizen of the community. the state, the nation: better prepared to fit into your place in society: better prepared to take over the re- sponsibilities that will be yours in the near future. All of these things are yours to command so long as you are willing to put forth the energy. the initiative. the ambition to succeed. Robert Louis Stevenson said.. Anyone can carry his burden. however hard.. until nightlall. Anyone can do his work. however hard. for one day. ln these words is tremendous food for thought. Study them carefully . Diligentlv do your work for the day. Success to you in the davs ahead. Happy sailing, Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomore-s. 1 Assistant Principal
