Minneapolis Public Schools NORTH HIGH SCHOOL 1719 Fremont Avenue Noth, Minneapolis 11, Minnesota M. Johnson, Principal Mkrvin C. Dhj-nkh, Assistant Principal To North High Graduates of 1958: As you now complete your high school work, permit me to shsre a ' few thoughts. These have been tremendous years together and we wish for each of you a good share of happiness in the future. Every privilege in this world carries with it a responsibility. Every opportunity implies an obligation. Never have there been more opportunities and greater challenges than in this present missile age. It has been said that there are three ingredients in a good life - learning, earning, and yearning. Here at North you have been given the opportunity and equipment for learning. When you leave this school you will direct more of your efforts toward earning. You will earn not only material things, but the respect, love, and friendship of the people with whom you associate. To a great degree your future will depend upon the things for which you yesrn. If you yearn for freedom and opportunity, you and your children shall have it. You can transmit the legacy you inherited. It is within your power to help make this half of the 20th Century one of the greatest periods in historical progress. America end the free world needs leadership. We have little need for people who are willing only to become one of the crowd. We need men and women who stand for individual principles. I trust you will choose the uphill road. As you make that decision, remember that it will require dedication and hard work. It will demand devotion to the idesl of mutual aid among people. You must be willing to stand against attack, and never run away from it. Ideals are the lasting values in human society. They are the values we must never neglect. Instruction makes people learned, but love of truth makes them wise. As you face the future, gaze not upon the stars, but usefully and realistically look deeply into your hearts to find the answers that are not all contained in textbooks. A nation will look for guidance and direction from the educated men and women. God give us wisdom to profit from the mistakes of yesterday; give us courage to face the problems of today; and vision to plan for the challenges of tomorrow. May each of you give of your best to serve your community and country. We wish for you a good measure of success.
