AS THE OAD ID by Susan Marfelllzs 556 Herefs proof that everyone had a fine time at the junior Party. Look at the sznilrs of those who stopped long enough to be shot by the photographer. Klnsetj The crew of the junior Class- raptain, john Naramoreg first mates, Mary Martha Carson and Iirmnie Christian, aml parser, Belts Lint. As one goes along the roarl toufarzl town, signs ana' aa vertise1nents beeovne larger ana' more numerous. The same is true of activities in school. In the Sopho- more year they are sparse ancl seem rela- tively unimportant, as seruesters pass these interests increase in responsibility anal number. As arlfzfertisenzents give sorne irlea of the quality of the product, lileeufise these posters exemplify the achiezfeinents of the juniors. O After ambling along the pleasant Sophomore lane, we eagerly anticipated venturing on that wider stretch of road known as the Junior year. Within the first few miles our enthusiasm was re- warded by a large sign which caught our eye. O Class Officers Pres.-john Naramore fbasketball and footballj Girls' V. Pres.-Mary Martha Carson CStudent Council, G. R., Pep Clubj Boys' V. Pres.-Jimmie Christian QHi-Y Sec., Traekj Sec. and Treas.--Betty Lint QPres.-elect of G. R., Pep Clubj Long .speeches have been made about qualifications for good officers, but when it comes to the junior Class Legislators you can say it all in few words- They Gratify! O Wlith a feeling of suHicientness we set- tled back to enjoy the ride. We drove on for some time before coming to this unique sign. Premium Pigskin Placard On it, among the Swift Pigskin Plug- gersl' of extra quality which were adver- tised, were such mid-men as Bob Law- rence, Donald Blue, Rex Bienz, Sam Herrmann, Roy Custer, Beryl Rinker, Lewis Belden, Lynn Herndon, and David Crichton. The North Hi ubrandl' of football has caused much comment be- cause of its Swell Bell System which has been worked out with considerable effort. To help the boys with their work they have adopted the slogan Hold the Line, Please! O Another notice also had a domestic touch. It concerned The Junior Family -the Basketeers whose- ffNames You Know Bob Lawrence-famous as high point man John Naramore-dependable floor play Rex Bienz-makes 'fkeenl' long shots Charles Monson -plays good defensive game Fred Davishuswelll' material for next year Russell Smith-specialty of pivot shots Roy Custer-good defense 99 44-10092, Good Sportsmanship O Speed! All the world craves it, it is important in almost every field and espe- cially in the large field of sports. For those who have the speed craze the next sign presented: The New 1935 Miracle North Hi Track Championsf, To increase the sell- ing ability of the advertisement, com- ments on noted persons were given. Such as--Lyndle De Hart, Takes the high hurdles on high , Leo Freeman, 'Td run a M3 mile for North , Ray McGinley, Sealed Powervg Irvin Lee, Watch that Lee go by , Leon Berry, Oh, he flies thru -l6l-' Harlan Groves, lt takes the air- Q health nerves to throw a 'avelin as he Y l does it. O Every one who had tasted it agreed that the Honor Roll, which had been so widely advertised, was worth the effort. Others decided they would try it after their resistance was broken down by this- Brooksie and His Pals Make the Honor Roll Happy School Days for the calves on the North Hi Dairy Farm --- with Initiative as teacher and the faithful Industry helping. Initiative is telling them all about the won- derful perseverance that goes into North Hi's delicious Honor Rollvpreparing them to do their share in providing it next sem- ester. And Industry not forgetting her job says, Fine work makes fine grades. This edible creation was made this year by yearnings in Initiative's previous classes. They were Donald Blue, Bob Brooks, Lil- lian Cutforth, Margaret Doniphant, Eleanor Doty, Verna johnson, jean Lambert, Betty Lint, Herbert Magnusson, Susan Marcellus, Bonnie Murray, Keith Myers, Patricia Neal, Mary jean Shaft, Mary Florence Spencer, Etna Mae Swink and Harold L. Thornton. I Because it concerned the Ugreat Amer- ican game, no unfavorable comment was made when we stopped for the next poster.

U'T Playing chess, solving the Pythagorean theorem, and manipulating the slide rule are various interests of the Mathematicians 191, who believe that there is more fun in this subject than one would gather from a glimpse of the assignment board. Miss M. Bird Weimar has the following assistants: Monroe Douglas, Donald Riley, and Flsie Armstrong. If you ever wondered what the secret was in mixing two chemicals together and still being alive when the job was finished, Science Club CIOJ is just the place for you. Under the guidance of J. A. Glover, the members delve into chemical compounds. Benny Boltjes, Wilson Young, and Cleta Sanders report no casualties during their term. How does one get a job? How do big business offices work? How does tne read ticker tape? These and many other questions are answered by talks and field trips in Commercial Club UID, whose membership is limited to those in their department. Miss Nora Stosz is advisor, officers are Maxine Tyson, Flaine Bottomley, and Lester Bogner. To give the artist's touch to many school projects and to help departments and clubs with banquets and parties, students interested in that field have organized the Art Club QIZQ. With Miss Ruth Aley as faculty helper, Seniors and Juniors are divided and Marguerite Ryther and Jean Lambert act as chairmen. Foreign correspondence and travel talks serve to Widen the view- point of the Internationalists Ql3j, who hope to bring about a better understanding and gain further knowledge of other nations. They meet under the sponsorship of DeForest Brown, student leadership being furnished by Richard MacCann, Genevieve Dotson, and Eugene Allen. United in the desire to furnish higher ideals for all the students, the Girl Reserves Q!4j and Hi-Y's flip are the junior divisions of the Y. XV. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Dr. Burkhart's visit was a joint project, while each group has a hand in Field Day concessions, Christmas baskets, conference camps, and Papoose campaigns. The G. Rfs manage the school bookstore.

Misses Bessie Goodyear and Jennie Lynn act as joint supervisors, understanding pro- grams which would frustrate many a visitor. The following hold offices: French C165--Margaret Alexander, Virginia Fair, jean Lambert, Spanish 117171. W. Bowles, Olive Martin, Margaret Ann Unger. The gong sounds! Reporting room period ends, and so do our clubs. Aside from serving as an excuse for cutting home room, each club strives to furnish entertainment and information. Social contacts and outside interests acquired, although disconnected from classroom activities, will not be easily erased from our mental score cards. Id as n i ure iflr i

All fishy people welcomed such an improvement as the next sign explained with satisfaction. The Wet-Pruf Adhesive Redskins They stick to itvl N0 matter how often they get beat-They won,t curl up. They swim better because their strokes are smoother and they have that flash-like jinishf' The regular sizesl' are john Austin, Gerald Booth, Herbert Cole, Harlan Groves, Glen Hall, Francis Heydt, Walter' Ramsden, and Clarence Reiz. O We turned excitedly to view the next colorful sign which appealed to our imag- inations. lt was composed as follows: The reason we are confident that Once There Was A Princess pleased you so much is just this: The classes used the same special blend of choicest actors that the audience loved so well in Bah -They packed it by the Vita-fresh process, so that you got every possible enjoyment from it- The play was a product of Miss Clark's cap- able direction. Good to the last drop of the curtain. O Driving on we came attracted the attention persons in the car, so these tennis fans might to a sign which of a number of we stopped that read the names. Kings of the Court Silas McDonald Richard Grey F Tom Coleman Roy Lee Custer Arthur Griswold The Keds on North Hils Tennis Team To every boy some other boy is king. And this king is set up by natural supremacy in the sport's world where athletic prowess, speed,and skill meet their daily test. O Those politically ambitious were par- ticularly interested in the next piece of modern showmanship.

V w .il Speeding along t e highway one never nows what to e pect, but the appear- ance of the next ad did startle us. ea Sportsmanship may be interpreted in many ways. But sportsmanship itself is basic, intrinsic. It is not amenable to compro- mise for in compromise the essence of its being is lost. Members of the junior class who instinctively work and play fairly, just as instinctively look to sportsmanship for that something they demand. O The next sign appealed to us all. Why? Because we all like food. From Soup to Nuts A play in four delirious Acts--starring the Cafeteria. As the curtain rises a bell rings. A sound of hurrying feet is heard as hundreds of North Hi stu- dents nzake their way to the cafe- teria where delicious food is served at a nominal price. Their hunger prompts them to more speed than is considered proper by readers of Emily Post. ACT Il. The action progresses more slow- ly. They are in line now, a few ducked under the rail, but in general order prevailed. n f' 9 - ,, 1-4 1 A AA, ACT I. ACT III. Act three jinrls the hero embrac- ing the food, but alas, he can't enjoy it because he must hurry to his next hour class! ACT IV. A wild dash again to reach class before the hell rings. Needless to say the juniors play their part in the mail rush. The moral of this dinner time drama is more lunch! O Fisher or North Hi Wrestlers Makes No Difference Because of their i'Solid-Steel Turret- Top bodies, rolling over and over won't dent them. They never get choked : 1 r I x . .j ,X ., -Jiri Us Witt . iwwd ir.. Lie-Le ,Q because they have No-draft ventila- tion. Their style and endurance gives them the advantage over any other car on the market. These juniors help make up the team: Donald Blue, .joe Bentson, Leon Berry, Walter Biye, Sam Herrmann, Bill McConachie, Howard Snyder, and Lynn Herndon. O Bright colors immediately drew our at- tention to a striking placard at the side of the road. In Wichita Field Day Is Fun Day All over the world a Field Day is the time for joyous festival. And in Wichita they welcome it with colorful programs and much cheering. N0 one is doleful, and everyone expects to win, regardless of the results of previous Field Days. Tho, it might be said that they were much the same for winner or loser-the results being chiefly painful sunburn and sore muscles. So with never a care as to cause or effect the juniors can always be found en masse ready for the fray on Field Day. O The following poster concerned what might have been the side show in a cir- cus. Shedding our pretense of being grown up, we read the sign with childish delight. This way, Ladies and Gentlemen! Step right up and see the Red Arrows! They are the trump card in any hand. Other Pep Clubs have shrunk but never the Red Arrows because they are sanforized by the North High Band. They give the best pep value America has to offer. They are made of that specially woven fabric, enthu- siasm--topped with trim-fitting good sports- manship. And may we say, folks, to add to the attraction, there is a junior among 'em-many a junior. O In the old days a person had a craft, now he has a hobby. The juniors have varied and unusual hobbies, as we dis- covered by this notice. Hobby Horses at Havre De Grace Second Race-juniors, 2 yrs. up It promises to be a thrilling race. All the hobby horses are in good shape and the riders are rarin to go. Plenty of excitement, for there are none running against great odds. Here's the line-up. No. I. Own Poetryv- lVritten by that clever jockey, Marie Shank. No. 2. Radio -this tricky mount is held at bay by Bob Christian. No. 3. Taxidermy -not a bit stuffy but nevertheless handled carefully by Arthur Griswold. 1 fContinued on page 34j
