WEALTHY HILLIER, Asst. Prin. L. H. LAMB, Superintendent O. F. NORWALK, Principal Administration Education has ever been the foundation of progress, characterized by faith and enthusiasm. These have been the noticeable characteristics of Northern High school since its recent inception. Through achievement in scholarship, in atletics, and in debating, it has earned a rightful place among the leading high schools of the state. VVe have faith that this achieve- ment is traditional and that the just motto of Northern might well be Faith! Enthusiasm! Progress! L. H. LAMB, Superintendent of Schools The Noroscope as an annual, marks not only the completion of school activities for a year, but reflects to a certain degree the personality of the school. Inasmuch as this is but the third issue, it is suggestive of the brief his- tory of Northern High school, a history of organization and development, a period of pioneering. Pioneering in the establishment of an educational institution or high school means that a display of hghting spirit and a determination to win must be manifest in order to assure future success. Because of the enthusiasm and spirit displayed by students it was pos- sible in a short period of time to establish a high standard of achievement and to lay the foundation for further attainments. Wliile the beginning has been made with promise of greater accomplish- ments to come, may we through confidence in the past look forward with expectant hope to tomorrow and to the future of Northern High school. O. F. NORWALK, Principal It has been said A courage which looks easy and yet is rare: the cour- age of a teacher, repeating day after day. the same lessons, the least re- warded of all forms of couragef, Having had the privilege of living with you in your earlier years, and of returning to you when you are grown up, I am confident that the courage of your teachers has not been in Vain. I like your earnestness. I like your frankness. These two traits tell me that you have at heart an inspiration and a purpose which is the very stuff of triumph.
