ITT Book I Students owe a great deal to the teachers who work with — and for us — during our years at North. Many of the opinions and view- points we hold hav e been formed through contact with our teachers whose knowledge and experience is greater than ours. Our teachers attempt to give us an under- standing of life and help to prepare us for it; they are concerned with our success and strive to help us attain it.
