North Side is not so large that this fundamental of teaching has been lost. Our instructors still take pride in knowing and taking a genuine interest in each of their students. This trait makes for a happier relationship and a better understanding between teacher and pupil, and North Side certainly thrives with it. Our principal. Nlr. Milton H.

It has been through his care and effort that North Side has such a fine reputation not only in this city, but throughout the middle west.
