By Traci Henning-Kolberg I'm maybe a little obsessed with all things that can be archived digitally so I was elated to be sent links to North Side High School yearbooks, The Legend, that have already been digitized. Don't get me wrong, my love for books is strong and nothing will ever take the place of the real thing, but creating a digital copy of something preserves it and shares it in a way that can't always be done with originals. There are roughly 20 archived yearbooks spanning from 1931 to 1975. We are going to separate these by decade and hopefully keep adding to them. Click on the links to access the full yearbook or just enjoy the handful of images selected for you. This project has opened the doors to some amazing community collaboration. We feel profoundly grateful to the North Side Alumni Association for already having some of the wheels of this project in motion and being so open to the suggestions made by those working on the project through the Purdue Fort Wayne History Department. The enthusiasm from the alumni of North Side High School is inspiring and contagious. There is no lack of love for their alma mater. We owe a supreme debt of gratitude to the Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library for giving us access to these digital copies. Family Search is the organization that makes digitizing documents like these yearbooks a priority and we also thank them for their hard work and dedication. We are beginning with the 1930's. Enjoy! TLHK 1931 The school has only been open for three years when this year book came out. 1933 Best part about this yearbook?
