March 24 One of the most interesting talks that was given here this season was one given bv the Bell Telephone people. After they had explained their system of telephoning, they had girls who demonstrated their work. After this it is believed that possibly the students will be more courteous and of course they will. North High always thinks of the other persons, do they not? March 31 At last the long-looked-for spring has come at lea St for the pupils of North High believe it has,since Joe Fias¬ co, one of North’s Famous Boxers, stepped out in a new Spring overcoat and hat. Spring--- grass---shall Nc-rth High pver have a lawn? That is one of the grave problems that faces the sudent body. Most believe it impossible, and why should they not? April 7 One of the largest parties of the year was given at North High School in the form of a Literature banquet. Miss Rook, who is the Literature instructor, had it in charge and was it a success?—Why of course. Everything that North does is a success—that is! all but their earning any of the cups in athletics. But soon they will have one of those gracing our newly painted auditorium. went up to have his picturetaken, the camera broke while he was posing, but you know we expected it to, because anything wmuld break just to look at him,--several underclass girls’ hearts have already. April 21 One of the series of Tuesday morning chapel talks was held this morning, when Mr. Paul R. Bishop of the Akron Times spoke on “News Editing.” April 28 The North Star sales carrpaign opened Monday morning in a unique w ay. Chapel was called and several representatives and the faculty adviser gave short talks to each class. Clocks were put up in the auditorium onwhich the percent of each class was placed every noon by Johnnie Zimmerman. Dunng the middle of the week the Seniors and Freshies ran very close, at times the Freshies being ahead, but in the erd the Seniors won. The total number of subscrip¬ tions was 700. Who says North isn.t loyal? Mav 5 The North High Glee Clubs together with the Orchestra are having their final rehearsal for the opera “Bohemian Girl.” No wonder the other students can not study since they are great lovers of good music. At the rehear¬ sals ‘Ned’ Patrick fell for the Queen. Too bad he is so young or he might be her “Romeo ” April 14 The Seniors have £ since they are having more dignified loolc their pictures taken. Don’t worry, it is not their c wn faces but the pictures! But wait, your time is coming, Freshies, when you will wear that same express¬ ion. It is said, that when Ivan Satow May 12 The debate clut has been organized and they will soon be ready for their first debate which will be with Cuyahoga Falls and Bed¬ ford. The team is composed of six members. Budd Van Kirk,Edna Schrank, JeaneGarrett, Basil Likens, Donald Bishop, Luther Ho.sfield.

CALENDAR FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER January 28. Jimmie Fiasco cer¬ tainly does make a good trainer. He is always on the run when ever he is needed. Maybe he is trainer for his brother. Miss Smetts distinguishes herself by break¬ ing all records on a kiddie car; Royden Whaley shocks the populace by his skill in manipulating a certain young lady’s galoshes; and several of the distinguished seniors suf¬ fer a cruel and watery death in a canvas lake during the presentation of “Lord Ullin’s Daughter.” February 4 Did you see that thrilling North-South game? Score 30-29 favor or North! Fern Warden almost had hysterics and all of us suffered nervous breakdowns during the ex¬ citement. February 11 After an absence of two weeks Gird wood Stinaff reappears with a misplaced eyebrow on his up¬ per lip. Probably his absence was due to the careful nurs¬ ing necessary to its growth. February 18 What an exciting week! The North-Central game—We lost, but how were we to know it? The mid year num¬ ber of the North Star— and Friend¬ ship Day! We learn that Norris Com¬ panion and Morse Bell have whole books of friends. We needed Wash¬ ington’s Birthday to rest up from all the thrills. February 25 After the January graduates have forgotten they ever weie high school students, and the class of June has forgotten it ever was Senior B ' s, comes the long delayed Senior party, Fifly March 3 Workmen begin to be in evidence. Freshly painted girls have been conspicuous arourd North for manv years but it has been a century — almost — since we have seen a freshly paint¬ ed stage. Nora Smith is heard to remark, “Oh! girls,I’mcrazy- about that good look¬ ing painter!” March 10 The girls of North High have the fever now and are all having their hair shingled. What are they trying to do? Why, they are making themselves more up-to-date. Among those who have had tneirs shingled are: Frances Pat¬ terson, Jeane Garrett, Anna Williams, Grace Morse, Marian Walsh and Zetta Roberts. March 17 The Freshmen broke into North High soci- sety! The green decorations for St. Patrick’ Day were most ap- propriate. Morse Bell, one of the fresh¬ man boys tried to Dreak the ice by taking one of the junior girls home but — did he suc¬ ceed? Then Mr. Kelly took an active part in the program and forgot the words to his song, and so supplied funny jokes.

r « f Many of our Exchanges Have been commented Upon already, But here are some Later ones which we Consider worthy of Mention : ❖ The Literary Department And The Poets’ Corner In tne Oracle from Montgomery, Alabama Are very good, but Would not leaving Out a few Advertisements Make a better School paper? We like The School Times From Springfield, Mo. Ii has interesting Accounts of their School activities The Red and Black From Fostoria is A very interesting Paper, but— Original poetry Would greatly improve it. We’d like some Help On the pronunciation Of Kilikilik. 5(C He The Record From Wheeling, West Virginia, Is one of Our regular visitors. We enjoyed reading The Vera Cruz Column. The Cheese Journal In the Akron Forge Was certainly clever; The jokes were fine. 5is We think the change In the name of East High School’s paper Is a good one. We are always Glad To see you, Caravan. One of our latest Visitors is The Arsenal Cannon From Indianapolis. It is interesting and Well written. A: “What are pauses?” B: “They grow on cats.” “How did you Icse that tooih?” Willie: “Shifting gears on a lolly pop.” Augie:“Nocky ate something that poison¬ ed him.” Mike: “Croquette?” Augie: “Not yet, but he is very ill.” Professor: “Young man, do you know I began life as a barefoot boy ?” Student: “ Well, I wasn’t born with shoes on, either.” Fifty-tvjo Rachel: “Our baby am the perfect image of his daddy.” Mandy “He shuah am. He am a regular carbon copy.” And here we have the oldest Mother-in- law story: The cave woman called to the cave man: Horrors! Mother is.out in the yard with a sa¬ ber-toothed tiger!” Replied the cave man placidly: “My dear, why do you care what happens to a saber- toothed tiger?” Marie Colegrove,’24
