“These Pillars will Bring Us Safely Through.” – 1938 Legend
“Dedicated to the reason why the Legend is published: The world today, more than ever, is in need of service, leadership, mental advancement, physical vigor. It needs a better relationship among human beings; constructive, progressive endeavors; and fair play. Students, in a world of their own at North Side, are being educated and guided in these qualities, so that upon graduations they can make the world a little better place in which to live. The Legend is put forth to show to the world by means of pictures this symphony of harmony and good will being developed among the students of North Side” (1938, Legend).
Sportsmen’s Code (Followed by Club): 1933
- I will never allow the muzzle of my gun to point at anything which I do not intend to shoot.
- I will never load my gun when the muzzle is pointed at any part of my body or at any person, nor stand in front of anybody who is loading a gun.
- I will never cock my gun and pull the trigger for fun.
- I will never shoot directly at a flat hard surface, a bottle or similar object, as the bullet is certain to ricochet (glance) from it.
- I will never handle a gun without first opening the breech to be sure the gun is empty and looking through the bore to see that it is clean.
- I will never carry my gun loaded except when hunting and will then be sure that it is locked in the ' 'safe” position.
- I will never shoot at a songbird or harmless animal for sport and will always be sure that no wounded game is left to suffer.
- I will remember that a .22 caliber bullet will travel three quarters of a mile, or through nine inches of ordinary board, and will ricochet a long way across water.
- I will always put my gun muzzle first through a fence and will climb over between the next two fence posts.
- I will always give my gun a thorough cleaning as soon as I am through firing.
