Page Tziv X O 'ZSOLTO 'Z In his 1945 American Education We-ek proclamation, President Harry S. Truman made several very significant statements. He said, After the most destructive war in human history, our nation has turned once more to the more prosaic but preferred tasks of peace and reconstruction. These tasks are no less stupendous than those of war. They require as great a measure of intel- ligence and understanding and of unselfish devotion to the common good. The return of the POLARIS after an absence of three years is one of the signs of this reconversion in our high school. The cessation of hostilities has brought many troublesome and complicated problems, but also the return of many welcomed activities. One of these is the POLARIS which has for its purpose the portraying of school life at North High. Sir Richard Steele has graphically portrayed the purposes of education as follows: I consider a human soul without education like marble in a quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties until the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs through the body of it. Education, after the same man- ner, when it works upon a noble mind, draws out to reveal every latent virtue and perfection, which without such help are never able to make their appear- ancef' May the 1946 POLARIS help reveal and develop latent possibilities among our students as well as accurately record these achievements for posterity. M. E. JOHNSON, Superintendent of Schools
