' s 7231, if , The Annual -Z 0N a chill day in November a few Vikings were ass bled in Mr. Borst's sanc- tuary. They were there told that they were to prepare and edit North's year book, the iannual. Even now the members of the Board think shamefacedly of the relief and astonishment that was plainly manifested in their faces at this startling an- nouncement. All immediately realized their own short comings, but bravely took up the task which lay before them, for all realized that they had indeed been greatly hon- ored in being asked to aid in so important a work. The art editors of the annual were very delighted at the chosen theme of the Arabian Nights because of the abundant material found in those wonderful old myths. We chose for the representation of the class, the story of Sinbad, the Sailor. How Sinbad, as we all do, set forth on his long voyage, passed through difficulty and calm, but at length reached the objective at which. he was aiming. We have tried to pick fitting representations for the other postersg for the faculty, the wise talking bird, for organizations, Margina dancing in the home of Ali Babag and for athletics, the fight in the cave of the thieves. The members of the board have truly Worked to prepare the annual. They found that they were little prepared for such an undertaking and had much to do to equip themselves for the task. The primal necessity was found to be co-operation. And so every member of the board has worked in concord with every other member. We found that each one had his work cut out for him and that each one had enough and more to keep him busy. We have tried to formulate carefully our material and now lay the result before you in the best form that we possibly could. The work which weihave achieved has been done through the ideals which those Vikings who preceded us at North have created. The great duty of any annual is to further perpetuate and instill the famous ideals and customs of its school. North High School has always stood for high quality in scholarship, for justice in all schol- astic events, a good spirit in acceptance of success and defeat, and for clean journalism in all school publications. U North's annual was ranked very high at the Second An- nual Conference for the Editors and Business Managers of High School Annuals held at Boulder last fall, and at all of the conferences in which it has been entered. If this annual does uphold these ideals, we shall feel that it accomplished that which it was ihtended to accomplish and we shall feel satisfied with the results. We do ask that those Annual Boards who followius keep in mind our'great purpose-to make each annual a book worthy of North's ideals. ,N 'V We here take the opportunity to thank those students and organizationsvwho have so greatly aided us in the preparation and publication of this annual: Georgia lklaloney and all of the annual salesmen were of invaluable assistance: Mr. Brainard, too, aided us very much with the printing. Nor could we have hoped at all to carry out our ideals and aims without the co-operation and backing given us by the art department and all other departments in this school. 9 The Viking
