Good bye.” “Good bye.” — Ruth Manderbach,’24 Thoughts of a Freshie I’m just a little freshie, My school is old North High. Some say I’m awfully little, Others say I’m shy. But these folks hardly know me Nor do I know them. And what a big surprise they’ll get When my skirts are let down at the hem! I guess I am a little shy And rather small for my age; But that ain’t saying Tm a freak And ought to be put in a cage. Just wait till I grow older. I’ll show these folks a thing or two; I’ll get to work and show them all There are some things that I can do. --Lolita Sanger,’28 Fifty-three

Although defeated in every city series game except against East, the North High eleven held an enviable record for the 1923 season, having defeated such teams as Lakewood, Wadsworth and Hudson. Alibis are seldom heard from the Northerners, but in this case the two facts that Limric, stellar half-back and backbone of the Eskimo team, was on the bench with a broken ankle just a week before the first city series game and did not play the rest of the season, and that several of the regular linesmen were declared ineligible at ttie same time, were undoubtedly important elements in determining the city standing of North’s team. The high-light of the season was the crushing defeat of Lakewood with a 30-12 score at the Lakewood stadium on October 13. After that game the hilltoppers felt that they had avenged themselves for the 35-0 defeat handed them by Lakewood in 1923. Among those who received individual hon¬ ors during the season were: Wells, who filled Limric’s shoes admirably after the latter’s in¬ jury and was named half-back on the second all-city team; Nelson, veteran end, received a place on the first all-city team; Stiles, cap. tain of the past year’s eleven, who was accord¬ ed a position of tackle on the second all-city team; Limric who, because of his brilliant playing, could not be ignored, and, because of the fact that he was unable to play in any city series game, could not be placed on either of the all-city teams, was, therefore, given the berth of honorary halfback. With an eye to future glory it must be re¬ membered that many members of the team will be back next season with experience which should prove invaluable. Among them are several letter men, including Limric (captain elect). Baker, Bevington, McCaslin and Rice.
