Rotograme THE LEGEND Page 11 I i Dramatics Class W An interesting and important art is dramatics, which is not easyQ but worth work to master. Acting. has been done ever since the world! began. but now it is more impor- tant than ever. It is valuable for entertainment and amusement dur- ing leisure hours. Students take! dramatics to obtain grace and ease before a large group and to learn' appreciation of this fine art. Room 110 North Side has been honored with awards of a good Northerner. and here are some students trying hard to write up some good arti- cles. The newspaper is a printed record which is issued weelcly. Newspapers in a school lceep the students informed of happenirigs,! and also acquaints parents with school activities. Students talce journalism to learn more about, our newspapers. English Class English, of course. is the most important subject taught in school. Miss Cromer is the head of the. North Side English clepartment.l l l Learning good English is impor- tant. because one's speech general- ly shows about how much educa- tion one has. A mastery of English is the sure road to success as all professions are based on it. Library 1 A place of quiet retreat for the! North Side students is our library. Libraries existed in ancient Egypt and Assyria, and Pisistratus is credited with the honor of intro- ducing a library at Athens about 337 B. C. So you can see that libra- ries are very old, but still there are new and exciting things to be found in them. it te ,Af ,J ' A , f fy, , 'iii-eh i ,Asn

Page Rotogfavufe History Room History has always been in the making and has long been record- ed. History is still in the making and is still being recorded. At North Side we have a chance to delve deeper into the recorded facts concerning the history of the world. We also have a chance to study history in the making in our social science classes. Art Room Ever since we were very small and able to draw pictures in chalk on the sidewalks, we have respond- ed, some more than others, to the instinct to put everything we see on paper. At North Side that in- stinct is fostered very earnestly and skillfully. Here we are taught the true appreciation of beauty in na- ture which most people seem not to understand fully or enjoy or in- terpret. Dean's Oflice Ever since the world began, man has felt the need of a friend to whom he might go for advice when in trouble, and for confidence when in doubt. We, at North Side, have also felt the need for such a friend and we have found it. Into Miss Gross' willing and sympathetic ears we pour our burdensome troubles, and magically, it seems, they grow smaller and smaller until there are no troubles left. Music After reading that the apprecia- tion of the American people for good music is low, we believe the writer did not know whereof he wrote. And our disbelief is caused by considering the large enrollment at North Side in the orchestra, band, glee clubs, and choirs. It is evident that the appreciation of good music is not absent in our illustrious school.

Page 12 THE LEGEND Rotogravure Study Hall Of the many rooms at North Side probably one of the best known to all of the pupils is the Study Hall. It is a well-known fact that without study it is hard to learn. It was with this axiom in mind that so much room was given to a study hall in the building of North Side. Here under the watch- ful eye of Mrs. Clark, students gather during the eight periods a day to study. Physics Lab. Ever since the beginning of his- tory man has attempted to explain the physical phenomena about him. This desire to lcnow how and why things happen has developed into the science known as physics. North Side has a most complete and modern laboratory for the demonstrating of the principles upon which these phenomena are based. Here the how and why of these phenomena are explained to the fullest satisfaction of the stu- dent. P. G. Class Room Here in Mr. Fredrick Breeze's class, physical geography, a study of manis natural environment, is taught. Some of the chief prob- lems in physical geography are characteristic features of plains, plateaus, and mountains, how cli- mate modihes surfaces, how soils are formed, and how climate af- fects human life and determines manis daily activities. Biology Lab. One of the most interesting stud- ies offered to the pupils of North Side is the course entitled biology, which deals with the evolution of mankind. In order to further the study and afford a practical work- ing place, a most complete and m o d e r n laboratory has been equipped with all devices for dis- secting and studying the formation of all types of animals.
