l ourie O elareaenfafiuefi, r. One of America's great educators said that we learn by doing. If this is true, North Side is providing future citizens early ex- perience in democratic government, for the Student Council par- ticipates in the management of school affairs. Members of the council consist of home room representatives who are elected by popular ballot and of club representatives. This governmental body elects by ballot its own officers and they play an important role in the government of the student body, in the formation of policy, and in attitudes adopted toward any issue that may arise. This is done through radio broadcasts and through assemblies. Officers who led the council this year were, as shown in the picture to the left, Frank Glasa, president, and Jack Schick, vice- president. Seated are Miss Victoria Gross, dean, Eleanor Evans, secretary, and Mr. Milton H. Northrop, principal. Desiring to make North Side a grand school to attend and endeavoring to improve its ap pearance, the Student Council has served the school splendidly this year It not only provided a contact between the students and the faculty and gave the former a means of participating in the school's government, but it also sponsored some of our most gala events jolly Get-Acquainted Day,', November 3, highlighted the fall calendar and Courtesy Week one of North Side's best, pepped up March with its merry theme Courtesy Can Be Fun The Memorial Day Assembly and Junior High Day brought the years sparkling activity to a highly successful close.

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. After careful analytical investigation of the present lighting facili- ties, the P-T. A. petitioned the School Board for improvement and their request was readily granted. The new system will be installed this summer. This group has also given staunch support to the youth recreation centers which have been es- tablished in Fort Wayne during the war-time emergency. Officers of the P-T. A. as shown below, left to right, are: Mrs. H. D. Macbeth, treasurer, Mrs. D. M. Niles, firsr vice-presidentg Mrs. G. M. Irmscher, presidentg and Mrs. Glenn Hopper, secretary.
