T H E V I K I N G From the Class President ITH graduation comes the climax of one of the happiest and most vital periods in our lives. As we recall the experiences of the years spent in high school, we ask ourselves just what the pur- pose of those years has been and how completely it has been fulfilled. Before establishing the present system of education our far-sighted forefathers visualized future citizens. The loyal men and women who have thus far carried out the ideals of the pioneers have kept the welfare of these citizens clearly in mind. The patriotic people of Detroit who today make possible our excellent school system are actuated by the same ideal. Resting on this foundation, the purpose of our education is to train us for citizenship. During our years at Northern we have been welded together by com- mon aims and common ideals. The students who have conscientiously given their best efforts to their studies have laid a foundation of both knowledge and character upon which they may safely build. The athletes who, in the face of defeat, have given their last ounce of energy for the Red and the Blue have caught the spirit of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice which will do much to hold them steadfast in the battle of life. The instructors have wisely and patiently given us the benefits of their knowledge and experience, and We have come to appreciate more and more their unselfish service. Perhaps the most cherished feature of our high school life is the warm glow of friendship which has brightened each day. The strong, happy friendships that we have formed at Northern will long be held as one of our most tender memories. All these things have afforded us opportunity for training for a truly great citizenship. Let us make it a citizenship too big to be bound by the limitations of language or religion, nationality or race, a citizenship worthy of the American ideals of justice, liberty, and patriotism upon which our nation is foundedg a citizenship which we will strive to express in loving service to the world in which we live. WILFRED LELAND, JR. President, 12A Class. 17
