Copyright - Gatschene Studio Suptintendent Bunn To the pupils and teachers of North High School, Greetings! l congratulate you on selecting The Sesquicentennial as the theme of your Annual. It is a good thing to commemorate important events in our local and national history for we have a noble heritage that we should continually cherish. One hundred fifty years ago George Washington was President of the United States serving the last year of his second term of office. At that time the United States Constitution had been adopted only ten years. In addition to Washington, there were living such great Ameri-Q cans as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Marshall, James Madison, and many others who built our nation on a firm foundation. The founders of our own local community were hardy pioneers who brought with them those homely virtues and those strong personal traits which have given character to the Mahoning Valley-honesty, thrift, dependability, a sense of real values, unselfish service, hospitality, neighborliness, a reverence for God, home, and country. As we celebrate the beginnings of our County, let us dedicate our lives to perpetuating the aims and ideals of our founding fathers so that we may leave to our descendants the same glorious heritage that was handed down to us. As the years come and go, may North High School uphold and carry on the noble traditions and high purposes of the men and women who laid the cornerstone of our American form of government and our way of . . ' life. - D , -Paul C. Bunn Superintendent of Schools eight

pasf vs. 'ziufwze We are celebrating the sesquicentennial of the founding of Youngs- town. Many thoughts crowd in upon us as we think about our community as it is now, and as it was then. A few people then, one hundred and seventy thousand now, game trails in the wilderness then, a maze of modern streets now, communication by horseback and boat then, telephone, telegraph, rail- road, automobile, plane, and radio now, mostly New England settlers then and people of all creeds, races, and colors now. Youngstown was settled by bold and adventurous people who were seeking new homes. They fought the forces of the wilderness and made a new community. Soon many others followed, and of these some were inter- ested in law and order, some in education, some in religion, and some in business. So the community grew until we now have a large thriving center with its people living in peace and prosperity. In order that Youngstown may grow and develop into higher levels of citizenship, each new generation must have a basic desire for better living, and leaders who have the characteristics which make for growth and sta- bility. Some must be bold and venturesome, always seeking to find new levels of mental training and culture, some must be judicial minded so that human differences may be composed quietly and fairly, some must be touched by a spark of the Divine so that always we may be conscious of Kingdom of God and the Brotherhood of man. May your class furnish its quota of men and women who will lead Youngstown and community on to higher levels of living- so that future citizens may look back with as much pride and satisfaction as we do. nine i
