Continued, the October 1949 Northern Light Vol XI, No. 1, the school newspaper of North Junior..(errors incl.) Page 2 A CHALLENGE Most of us never stop to think how lucky we are to have the privilege of attending a school like North Junior. What is North Junior? North Junior is the student body, and if North is to continue to improve from day to day, it is up to us students to do it. To be sure "we see ourselves as others see us" your editor felt the need of interviewing one who is well acquainted with school life. The perosn chosen was Mrs. Marian Butler, Assistant Superintendent of Waco Public Schools. Mrs. Butler finds North Junior outstanding in that students follow instructions, keep good order in classrooms, leave little trash in the corridors, and best of all show a willingness to cooperate. In order to improve our school she suggests: We refrain from going to lockers during lunch periods. This is unnecessary and inconsiderate. A great deal of noise can be avoided if locker doors are closed quietly; and if we students while waiting for lunch try to keep our voices down. Another seemingly unimportant fault is making so many trips to the office. Let's not go to the office unless our errand is really important. Why not arrange our activities at home so that can avoid borrowing the office phone? We all can be more considerate of others in the library, enter and leave assemblies quietly and quickly and not create disturbance when school is out. Let's all pull together, boys and girls, and remember: 1. Let's try to be quiet between classes, at assembly, at lunch, after school and in the library. 2. Be courteous and considerate of others at all times. 3. Take full advantage of the courses being offered and use the knowledge gained there after school hours as well as during school. 4. Do our best at all times for North Junior is our school. Let's make North Junior the finest school in Waco!

The Rhythmetts, the girls' quartet, composed of Peggy Holmes, first soprano; Elaine Brown, second soprano; Betty Dove, first alto, and Marion York, second alto, make their first appearance of the season on Wednesday, Oct. 19th at the P. T. A. meeting. They organized last year and won first division in the May contest. New teachers are North are: Mrs. Fred William who is taking Mrs. Jimmy Dixon's place. Mrs. Williams comes from Orange where she taught Science in high school. Mrs. Earle S. Woodall, who has taught in the Dallas and the Kilgore schools is director of physical education. Some of those spending interesting Summers: Mrs. C.H. Collins spent several weeks at Brainard Lake, Colorado. Later Tommy Collins joined her at Colorado Springs. Mrs. Evelyn Hubbard was counsellor at Echo Camp for Girls, Roquette Lake, New York. When the camp closed she attended the Children's Theatre Conference at New York City late in August and early September. SEEN AROUND NORTH As beautiful as the golden, red, green and blending brown leaves of the forest after the first frost are the rich shades of autumn seen flitting and drifting through our halls and classrooms. Dark background colors seem favored by the girls as they choose their cottons this season, leaving the lighter neutrals and bright colors for sweaters and skirts. The boys are coming in for their share of attention in the way of fashion, too. Have you seen those certain 9th grade boys who have been wearing bow ties to school? We like Torchy Brown in her low neck cotton dress. The dark purple with her bright red hair makes a pretty combination. Joan McBride is giving us a new wrinkle in fashion in her red full skirt with inverted pockets, and blue corduroy weskit topping the white tailored blouse. A striking example of unusual color combination is the salmon pink pull-over with deep purple painted-on-flowers in yoke effect topping a dark green shirt as worn by Evelyn Bain. Especially attractive is Ann Thompson in her rust, green and gold corduroy skirt and westkit. Mary Turman's rust and black checked dress is outstanding in smartness. Carol Ann McKnights brown skirt and weskit look quiet charming on her. Kay Youngblood is good to look at in her green and gray cotton. Michael McNamara chooses green too,as a background to black polka dots, which spells "C-L-A-S-S." Susan Friley suggest the square dance in her red and black print cotton with an unusual treatment of stripes near the bottom of the skirt. Accentuating this motif are the cowboy hats worn by Dan Ferguson and Robert Evans. Speaking of cottons-have you seen Sue Laine in her demure blue and black checked cotton? Herschel Dunham is keeping up the family tradition of striking skirts in bright colors. Lynn Koehler fairly glows in her grey corduroy skirt and rosy pink sweater. Pat Golob, Jean Kay Stover, Virginia Pharr and Frances Mason are some unusual treatments of sweaters and skirts this season. Making themselves outstanding as always looking well dressed are Donna Lee and Kathryn Kirksey. _______________________ Bill Jones enjoyed a dip in the Pacific during his tour of fifteen Western States. HAVE YOU MET Shirley Kimble, that charming little brown-haired miss in Miss Scruggs 9 B home-room who recently came to North Jr. from Munich, Germany? The many admiring glances cast in her direction may be caused by her laughing brown eyes and sparkling personality. She spent three years with her family in Germany where her father was conntected with the Occupational Forces. While located in Munich she visited the neighboring countries of France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Massenburg, and Czechoclovakia. She is an outdoor girl too and is a fancier of horses. During her stay in Germany she owned a pure-bred Arabian horse from which she parted relunctantly. Her favorite sports from a spectator angle are football and basketball. Being artistically inclined she joing the Arts and Crafts Club. Her favorite subjects are Spanish and English. She is an only child and resides with her parents at 3132 Colcord Avenue. FROM THE EYES OF A PICTURE I am a beautiful picture Of a maiden fair, Of a maden standing in a doorway, The wind blowing through my golden hair. I saw the family's life Go on day by day, I saw sad children and happy ones at play. I saw the mistress Reprove her children, one by one, I saw many a tearful face And many a holiday's fun. I was happy until the day Another picture took my place, And it countenance is now seen instead of my smiling face. Now in the attic I lie, On the attic floor, I shall see the family's faces No more. Someday I hope to have The cobwebs brushed from me, And downstairs be hung, Where I may see the family. By: Carol Anderson and Hugh Henson _________________________________ It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is wehn tomorrow's burden is added to the burdens of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. -G.Macdonald -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope these passages from long ago bring back pleasant memories. I could just imagine the leaves of autumn flitting in and out of the school... and Torchy's purple dress 'neather her red hair. And McNamara's green with black polka dots??, as they say, to each his own. Whoever wrote that was very adept at making one picture what he or she was describing. Wonder if that person went on into journalism? Hmmmm.... And ladies, just what is a 'weskit'? Page 3 of this Northern Light edititon will come thru in a while. I need a rest. Cold pizza awaits.

Printed in 1951, "Treasured Thoughts of our Friends" is a booklet compiled by the T.E.L. class of First Baptist Church in Waco, Tx. Many sent in their favorite quote or thought. The location of the contributor is also included. I have the copy that belong to my great-grandmother, Ola Brown Cunningham. I wish to share these thoughts with you all. Maybe you will recognize a name. How wonderful to know what their favorite quote or thought was!! I hope you all enjoy this. Remember, this booklet will come in installments!! Teresa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The front of the booklet has the title along with a partial drawing of the front of the church, showing the dome up top. Maybe one day I'll scan this and send thru. On the front at the bottom are two quotes: "The value of a thought cannot be told"- Bailey "Next to the originator of a great thought is the one who quotes it"-Emerson I open it up, and see my great-grandmother's name at the top: "Mrs. Ola Cunningham's book." Centered is this quote from Sir Philip Sidney: "They are not alone who are accompanied by noble thoughts." In the lower right hand corner is this: Compiled by the T.E.L. class of First Baptist Church Waco, Tx. At the bottom: Organized 1914-Printed 1951 Now, I don't think they took that long to compile this wonderful booklet!! Maybe it was the class that was organized in 1914. Idaknow! Turning the page I see where my great-grandmother pasted in the obit for Mrs. W.A.Wood. In pencil above the obit she wrote this: "This was our teacher a wonderful person. all who knew her loved her." I won't list the obit here but may send it thru on it's own later. Next is the page that dedicates the booklet "to the memory of Dr. William Alva Wood who for 62 years walked hand in hand and heart to heart with Our Beloved Teacher Mrs. W. A. Wood". I turn the page to find the list of officers for the Sunday school class: Officers 1950-1951 President: Mrs. Tom Hollon Vice Presidents: Mrs. Ray Corwin, Mrs. W.K. George, Mrs. W.A. Gowan, Mrs. Ola Cunningham (my great-grandmother!) Secretaries: Mrs. Henry Cox, Mrs. Lucille Pierce, Mrs. Jewell Davis, Mrs. B.G.

Illustrations "Close your eyes and think of the Past, Present, and anticipate the Future." I turn the page to find the introduction by the compilers: In sending forth this little volume, we would have it convey to you, who made it possible, our hearts best love and appreciation. May there come moments in your lives when a glimpse within its pages may awaken songs of cheer. And may there come to you somehow a faint idea of the joy given us as you so lovingly contributed some cherished thoughts to our "Dream Come True." - Compilers The contributors are listed alphabetically, all of one letter together; however, the names themselves may not be alphabetized. For now I do 'A'. Dr. A.J. Armstrong, Waco I say, the acknowledgement of God in Christ, accepted by the reason, solves for thee all question in the earth and out of it and so far advances thee to be wise. - Robert Browning Mrs. A.J. Armstrong, Waco I see my way as birds their trackless way: I shall arrive; what time, what circuit first, I ask not- But unless God sends his hail or whirling fire balls, sleet or stifling snow, In some time, his good time, I shall arrive; He guides me and the bird.- Robert Browning Mrs. W. I. Allen, Waco So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him an lies down to pleasant dreams. -Bryant Mrs. J.E. Andre, Waco To live without prayer is to live without God. I cannot measure the depth of God's love, but I thank God for Christ who demonstrated it. Mrs. W. B. Alexander, McGregor, Texas In the province of prayer-"Oh, Lord, We know not what is good for us. Thou knowest what it is. For it we pray." -original Mrs. Henry Alexander, Waco Prayer is the nearest approach to God and the enjoyment of him that we can have in this world. -Baptist Builder Mrs. T.A. Armstrong, Waco Not what we give up but what we share- For the gift without the giver is bare; Who gives himself with his alms feeds three Himself, his hungering neighbor and me. -James Russell Lowell Alathean S.S.Class, Hubbard, Texas Dear God, I may not climb the towering heights of fame, nor does my heart aspire to clutch the worlds acclaim; But I desire that in the tiny niche I fill, I may receive the strength to do thy holy will. -Pauline Tyson Stephens G.O.S.P.E.L. - God Offers Sinful People Eternal Life
