Can you imagine a ship without a captain? Woll, that is what North High would be like without Mr. Harry H. Maass. In a large school such as North, it is imperative to have someone at the head who can shoulder the many responsibilities of the whole school. His excellent leadership has brought North through many rough spots. To some of you, Mr. Maass' office is a very mysterious room, but to a few if is a common resting place. No matter how you regard it, many important decisions are made there. Just imagine yourself as the heod of North High for just one day. People would be running into your office asking you what they should do about some delicate problems; then there might be an unexpected important guest coming to look over the school, so you would have to drop everything to show him around the school personally. All in all. North High wouldn't bo the smooth running school it is today without Mr. Maass.
