.xdolminizifrczfion rincifaa uOnly a lot of boys and girls? . . . Only a public school?', Maybe that is what North Side is to some people but not to Mr. Milton H. Northrop. Mr. Northrop plays the great role of Pop to his both docile and unruly brood here in the halls of our happy home. Though his task is gigantic and helping stu- dents solve their many problems not an easy one, he is always ready to greet one with a cheery smile. Mr. Northropls office is located at the head of the main entrance and this is symbolic of his readiness to receive one and all and to give aid where it is needed. Mr. Northrop has been establishing the policies of the school and administering to its multiple needs since North Side was founded in 1927. During these years of service to America's youth, Mr. Northrop has made an intangible contribution to our country for his sound philosophy and ideals have helped many a lad. ufaerinfenalenf The future belongs to the youth of today. High school offers to students a fine training in almost any field in which they are interested but building a life and character result from daily gains in that direction. Education is the result of all of those in- fluences, forces, and achievements that attend one and by the responsibilities we seek and share in use- ful service. I have the firm belief that tomorrow will be a good day. America has always risen to great heights from despair, deprivation, war, and hardship. Our greatest America is just ahead , said Mr. Merle Abbett in his article published in The Northerner. Mr. Abbett has tried to secure and to insure this future for us for he has supplied excellent schools and instructors and he has also given of himself in order to promote the success of the battle in which we are now engaged by acting as chairman of the prog. for the sale of stamps and bonds in Allen County.

Gall To boyhood, girlhood look, the teacher and the school . Realizing that the world today more than ever does look to the school and to America's youth, Miss Vic- toria Gross offers to each student guidance in right living and in preparing well for the vocational future. In fulfilling her duties as dean, Miss Gross has super- vision of club activities, assemblies, and class functions. Hers is a philosophy of accepting responsibility, of doing a task well, and of rendering service to others. In carrying out these precepts, as well as teaching them to others, she proves herself a utrue Redskinf' arenf-.lackem Mociafion As the financial and moral supporter of North Side, the Parent-Teacher Association is always ready to cooperate in promoting the general welfare of the student body. Some of the members ora ganized a study group for the purpose of discussing and solving any current problems that may arise from youth so that they, the parents and teachers, may be better qualified to help in the char- acter molding of tomorrowts adul' The organization's most cmtfanding enterprise this year was the promoting of a fluorescent lighting system for the school.
