Presidents Message That fleeting hour we have looked forward to with such eagerness in our hearts has arrived at last. The curtain has gone up and we occupy the center of the stage. Soon, however, the curtain will descend, the lights go out, and our little act be over forever. The parting of the ways has come at last. Some of us go on to the university, and others fare forth to match their wits against the world itself. The geometric theorems and physics formulae we have memorized' will soon be forgotten, but we have acquired other things in our stay here at Northern which to us are priceless beyond measure. We have learned that not all of us can be the star half-backs or half-milers, that the scrub is as necessary as the varsity team. But we have also discovered that each and everyone of us is naturally fitted for some particular share in the work of the outside world. In learning this one thing, perhaps we have learned enough. We have learned, perhaps with some effort and trouble on our part, that perseverance and industry are as essential in the school as elsewhere. We learned that we couldn't become captain of the basketball team or editor of the Viking the moment we tried. We learned that we had to conceal our chagrin in times of defeat and that if we did our best, no more could be expected of us. We have come to know other arguments and points-of-view than our own. We have worked with people of other races and religions, and we have found that they are just as good as we are. In other words, we have learned that we must all work together in every possible way in order to derive the greatest benefits from our efforts. Those who have guided us deserve our highest respect and gratitude. Their patience and kindness have helped us over many an otherwise difficult place, and from their personalities alone we have gained models after which to pattern ourselves. So, in a word, we of the January, 1942, class applaud you - the faculty of Northern High School. The day of prophets, true or false, has gone. The future offers only op- portunity for all of us. If you seek success, remember Michael Angelo's words: Trifles make perfection - but perfection is no trifle. Whatever you do, do to the best of your ability, remembering the principles you have learned hereg then everyone will be proud of you. To all of you I say Goodbye and Jayme TOM FEZZEY, President of 12A Class. God speed ! 1-'17-P
