FARE HE old order changeth yielding place to the new.” Everywhere in our modern world we see affairs-whether political, social, or educational—in a fluid state. Each morn¬ ing announces a new panacea for existing or imagined ills; each evening a glaring h ead¬ line heralds some new achievement or intro¬ duces us to some new investigation. Absorbed in the routine of our school world, we read the happenings in world or na¬ tional affairs, but are little influenced by them. Our little daily circle moves on smoothly and without break, until one day in the last half of our senior year in high school, we rea¬ lize that our world, too, must soon change— that high school is over and that we also are joining a period of transitions. We look ahead, trying with curious eyes to penetrate the in¬ visible future. We look around us seeking to solve the problem, but the lives of others offer us no final solution. We must each be the master of our own future and direct our own course. In meeting the questions which confront us as we finish our twelve years of training, we might compare ourselves wit h aviators about to make a flight into new and un¬ chanted areas. The aviator, if he is to achieve success, must be carefully prepared. Before he can start alone on a long flight into a new coun¬ try, he must understand all the intricacies of starting, guiding and stopping his plane; he must know how to meet unseen enemies — storm, wind, air pockets or cruel cold; hemust keep his head, when his plane is damaged, when he loses his course, or when for some reason he has to make a forced landing. Like the aviator all of us have spent years in preparation for the work before us. We have tried to learn how to undertake the tasks assigned to us, to be wisely self-direct¬ ing in discharging duties. We have teachers whose work it is to help prepare us to meet the obstacles, which are sure to confront us sometime, in our future flights toward happi¬ ness and success. Their guidance and our experience should have made us capable or enduring the storms of opposition, the bitter wind of criticism, theair pockets of discourage¬ ment or the cruel cold of failures. Through carefully thinking out problems here in school, planning our parties or liter¬ ary programs, meeting the test on the cinder Forty WELL path or the debate platform, we should have learned to keep our heads, so that when we are driven from our course, we may know which way to go and what to do. Even if for some reason—lack of funds or ill health, for instance—we are compelled to give up, or delay for a time, the purpose we have set out to achieve. We should not let these obstacles deter us from future efforts. We should not be satisfied to be groundling” like those who have not had our training. What kind of flight shall we essay? The di¬ rection and distance covered will vary. Some may wish to go far and to see much; others, like the aviators who carry mail, may follow the same path day by day. All of us have taken part in the pleasures and activities of North outside our regular studies. So in the future our flights will not be without some dives, glides, tail-spins, and spirals to add zest ' to the matter-of-fact routine. Yet these pastimes should be so well performed that neither the performer nor others will be hurt by them. Our work, surely, will be careful¬ ly directed, if we have profited from our twelve years of experience. We, the class of June 1924, dislike to leave our training field—North High School. This has been the scene of our initial efforts; here under wise supervision, we have staged our trial flights; our debt is greater than we can pay. But whether our course leads us back or far distant, our hearts will ever cherish the memory of our Alma Mater. Old North! Dear North! Home of the Black and Gold. Your words, your deeds Firm in our hearts we hold. Our hopes, our faith In you will never fail, Friends, teachers, and comrades All hail to thee! All hail! —Bernice Calbetzor,’24 OOO y - dOO Man; “Hello, hello!
