FACULTY In the above picture you see a group which deserves the highest award for valor and stamina, for it is a group strong enough to survive the passage of the class of 1942 through North Shore. We have argued with them, evaded their questions, left their as- signments undone, misused the equipment for which they are responsible, paid no at- tention to their skilfull pedagogy, and last but not least, we have usually been able to parry their efforts to place us in that most behind the eight ball position of behind the eight ball positions, Late Study Hall ! Seriously speaking, however, we owe much more to the faculty than we can ever hope to repay. They seem to have a knack for making us want to work, and they cer- tainly give us plenty of work to satisfy the craving which they set up. The striking difference between this fac- ulty and the faculties of other schools lies in the great amount of responsibility which is given to the student concerning his work. Instead of being the driving force, the faculty at North Shore is much more a guiding force, controlling and assisting the ambitious but often erring efforts of the students to learn on their own. Besides what we have already said, the in- timacy between the faculty and the students is greater at North Shore than at any other school we have ever seen. The faculty seem= to be a part of our life, and our close contact with its members is both stimulating and enjoyable ; we certainly hope that this con- tact will not cease, but will become even closer in the years to come. In leaving, we would like to thank you all. faculty, for having shown us the paths to independent thought and work, for your kind and patient interest in our problems, and for vour skilfull o-uidance when we erred. 11

The class of 1942 has always been noted for its quick responsiveness to any challenge, its quick acceptance of responsibility, and its ability to form opinions and make decisions equitably, after due deliberation. We have had other classes who have also possessed these qualities ; but this class has still another, which makes it truly distinctive, its humility and consequent tolerance of the opin- ions of others. I do not remember another group who seemed to have so much understanding and sympathy in its dealing with other classes and with the school as a whole. They number among their members plenty of leaders and able execu- tives, but they have never been assertive about this fact, nor jealous of their rights. Perry Dunlap Smith Every student and faculty member at North Shore will long remember the school year of 1941-2. Not the least of the reasons for remem- bering it will be the senior leadership of the class of 1942. In a world of hysteria, depression, and uncertainty, the seniors have created a little island of saneness and serenitv around them- selves. They have gone cheerfully about the nor- mal daily tasks, preparing themselves — and us — for possible emergencies with no undue anxiety over the future — and no seniors were ever more uncertain over their own immediate futures. May they continue to keep this balance in a sadly unbalanced world. Julia B. Childs The members of the class of 1942 were pre- eminently good citizens. They sought and ac- cepted responsibility. Under the stimulus of their leadership, the school community ' s sense of civic responsibility reached a new high for recent years. That same seriousness and high purpose which the class brought to community tasks, it also brought to its studies. Indeed, the united con- scientiousness of the class would have been a heavy pall on our school life, had it not been for the large number of creative and imaginative spir- its among its members. The class of 1942 will be remembered for its conscience, its industry, and its sparkle. David H. Corkran 10
