The beautiful site where North Mr. Eyster, school treasurer. Miss Greenwalt and Miss Roller, Junior Red Cross. Side now stands was formerly a wretched plot of land overrun by weeds and very swampy in ap-l pearance. Qften the high water of the St. Joseph River Hooded the lot during the rainy season of the year. It was truly a scene of un- cared-for public property. In a space ofa very few years this prop- erty has become the site of a large skillfully-constructed high school building. In the fall of 1927 a temporary board walk bordered the school campus, and the street in front of the school was wealthy in ruts and mire. The river banks were cov- erecl with scraggly weeds and were badly misshapen, and they attrac- ted the eye, but not with beauty they possessed. and detracted in a great measure from the beauty of the school. The first improvements were confined to points directly around the school. A cement boulevard and sidewalk wer e constructed around the school as very efficient substitutes for the former board walks and the dirt street. Each year at the ceremony of the graduating class, ivy was plant- ed, and many of these took root and grew, greatly adding to the beauty of the ground surrounding the school. me 'limi I

Many teachers at North Side have devoted their services to clubs, others have become class advisers and have done much in the way of c-utside service for the students.

Page 10 THE LEGEND Rotogravure Vergil Class These little boys and girls are wading diligently through the trials and tribulations of our old pal Aeneas and Dido, his would-be girl friend. It's generally conceded that only smarties talce the subject, but Miss Loraine Foster, the lady sit- ting graciously at the deslc, makes up for the unpleasantness of the subject. From what we've heard she actually makes 'em talce it and like it. Geometry Class Angles, triangles, spheres, or what have you-they're all to be found in Mr. Everett Penningtonls famous geometry classes. Here we see Don Harrison in the throes of a geometric equation of vast im- portance to those concerned, al- though it's just another headache to us. Incidentally, Mr. Penning- ton has a collection of blocks and balls fspheres to himj, with which he amuses his future engineers when the subject becomes too deep. A Class in Geography Maybe this is a picture of Atlas, but we rather imagine it isn't. Ir is none other than Mr. Fred Breeze, North Side's incomparable instruc- tor in geography. Those studying under the direction of Mr. Breeze find the subjects pertaining to the reactions of the earth most inter- esting and profitable. Mr. Breeze is the adviser of the Geography Council. Mechanical Drawing Class Here me have a scene in the me- chanical d r a w i n g room. Mr. Thompson is the teacher. The class has successfully turned out a great many fine blue prints, which plans have been used in the con- struction of airplanes, machinery, and cabinets. Mr. Thompson is the adviser of the Airplane Club. The school this year has held a great interest in the field of aeronautics.
