General note
There were several changes to the titles of the yearbook over the years. From 1913-1952, the title was simply "North Bay Normal School year book." From 1952-1954 the title was "Polaris," then for the 1954-1955 yearbook it was changed to "Aurora Borealis," and then to "Vox Borealis" for the 1955-1956 yearbook. The title was changed back to "Polaris" the next year (1956-1957) and stayed that until the final yearbook was issued (1972-1973).
General note
There are two copies of each yearbook, except for the 1958-1959 yearbook, for which there is only one bound photocopy.
