During the four years that we have been under her guiding parentage, we have learned, and learned to learn, little lessons that will prove the foundation for our actions and clear-thinking in the world that awaits us. North has grown steadily from a graduating class of one hundred five in the year 1912 to the large and fine class that is recorded in this annual. Many are the stu- dents that have come under its influence, anclas Aeneas handed down to his followers the task of managing his people, just so have the principals of our school faithfully done their bit and then passed it on to their successors. VVe feel that with Mr. Borst as our glorious Augustus, North today can well be compared to the imperial city. In this book, our annual, we have tried to make a comparison between scenes from the Aeneid and our life here at North High. Thus it is that the freshmen are represented by Aeneas's telling Dido of his adventures, signifying the typical freshman that has to have things explained to him, the sophomores, having safely weathered air storms that may have beset them their first year, are safely launched on the second lap of their high er-Lf ' ge, with hopes as high as the blowing sails of the ship as it sails onward. For the juniors, as the Trojans had to overcome a fc ' in the form of the native Latins before they could occupy their chosen laml, - about to become seniors is overcoming troubles in the form of spring fe' . nefore the days of smoothness, and finally, as Aeneas completed his settlement on his promised land after conquering and surviving all the pitfalls, so we seniors are reaping our reward for duties faithfully accom- plished. VVe, like Aeneas, have done great deeds and added many a faithful Achates to our throng of friendships, and so in affectionate appreciation of all that North has meant to us, we again say that this, our annual, is dedicated to our alma mater, North Denver lligh School. ,Eg ,... .4 FNAQM ...na 1, A it Q if 1 I'1: N If if-'ii ' Ei X N L L LEW ..

The Annual Board T'S all due to those little white call slips, that float around our home rooms at assembly, that you Vikings have an Annual full of memories. Fifteen students have framed the slips that called them into Mr. Borst's office for the purpose of assigning them to the annual board for '26. Because of the diphtheria bugs that floated thru the Viking halls, and the processes of getting the course of study entitled f'Culture , the annual Board nearly suffered a paralytic stroke thru the loss of Evelyn Beverly, lfditressg Philip Peyton, Business lylanagerg and Philip Salter, Organizations, but they did pull thru and we submit the '26 Viking with the hope that it will be kept as a treasure by each individual. The Aeneid, by Virgil, is the theme chosen for the annual. Through the designs the art editors have shown us how Aeneas starts on his travels to found a new city and race. They have pictured lVIinerva crowning Apollo with the laurel wreath, signifying knowledge, the gift of our school. As the Freshman drawing shows that Aeneas is tell- ing Queen Dido the story of his experiences, and has only begun his journeys, so the Senior drawing shows the city founded and the task accomplished. The Honor Roll signifies Aeneas distributing the prizes after the contests, contrasting our awards to those worthy students who have stuck to the task they started out to do. The Contents is The Three Fates who control all destiny and so control the contents of our annual. The Gods on Mt. Olympus, who overlook the destiny of all, is the faculty drawing. The athletic section is introduced by the reproduction of a scene of games celebrated at the death of Aeneas' Father. As a climax or finis we see Venus taking Aeneas to Heaven, a place where every Viking wishes to go. The board feels deeply indebted to lVIarguerite Hill and Eugene Church for help- ing with the sales. Also we extend our appreciation to lVfr. Semple, of Kistlerfs, and to Mr. VVare at Lumiere's for their valuable suggestions. To the Art classes and the Art teachers and club sponsors go the hearty thanks of each individual board member for their drawings and suggestions. l-THE'DEAPc'OLD'ATNNUAl..-BOARD'l A :xi 1 fi fri' X it Uspxjpfh .
