Being Freshmen, of course, we accepted our fate. The shrieks and howls of Hallowe ' en day Soon changed to the mood of the Christmas Play. Backstage excitement was quieted down As the curtain went up on Bethlehem town. When the Vaudeville Show came into light The freshman class were on their toes. Gonna get me a man, sang the girls in delight, And the bell rang time-out on the boxing pros. The holidays came and went too fast. Oh, how we wish we ' d made them last, With parties and dances to keep us up nights. The parents kept asking, Why the dim lights? The Freshman boys sang with lusty cheer In the opera that comes but once a year. The make-up crew was busy, too, Making up people for Xingabru. Next year as Sophomores we hope to shine And another rung of the ladder to climb. Final exams are the toughest of all. They determine whether we ' re Sophomores next fall.

As I drifted back into semi-consciousness, I found myself walking down the street. Things looked different, especially the cars. When I saw that the number plates were of the year 1960, I understood. I came to a movie. On the billboard it said Temptation with Judy Roberts and Cal Selfridge. I came in at the final love scene. It was good. The newsreel after the movie showed a very hot bridge game. It was Miss Selz and Miss Packard against Miss Everhart and Miss Royer. Miss Packard kept looking very suspiciously at the signals that her opponents seemed to be exchanging. After the bridge game was a very original hockey game. Parry Larsen tripped Byron Campbell, and Bill Dawes hit Parry Larsen on the head with his stick while Mike Carstens made the one goal of the game. Roy Walholm kept running out on the ice taking pictures while John Chadwell kept up a run- ning commentary on the game. After the hockey game the newsreel switched to three women who were hiking to Silver Beach from New York. I recognized the one that kept sitting down and fixing her shoe as Libby Jones. The other two were J. G. Brown and Pris Mudge. J. G. kept dropping back and Pris kept calling for her to hurry up. After the hikers the film flashed on to the Grand National Steeplechase. In the lead was Ann Murray on Flicka. Then along came Connie Grant on Silver, whistling a tune from Xingabru. Lawrence came along in fifth place, broadcasting the race from a small set tied to the saddle. Apparently Blunt had won the race before Victor Lane, the movie man, had got his camera wound up. Walking out of the theater, I bought a newspaper. A large advertisement for Becker ' s high altitude fountain pens featured a Varga girl. The signature however was F. Notz. On the front page it told how Pete Payson, police chief, had captured Lauren Suter and Chuck Moyer after an exciting battle in which Chuck had killed two policemen with his bare hands. Suter, the brain of the outfit, had been trapped while combing his hair. The paper had a picture of Senator Leslie Sherman and Senator Tom Pritchard. Sherman had just succeeded in getting Pritchard kicked out of the Senate. The financial column reported that Mr. Jack Kearns had just bought the West Indian R.R. Company, which made him owner of all the railroads in the world. The music page announced that Josephine Booth would not be able to sing in Aida that night because of her laryngitis. Under Obituaries I was touched to see that Paul Jeffris, class secretary, had laid flowers on the grave of our old teacher, Mr. Rhodes. I hope he finds peace beyond the grave. Back row — H. Price, J.

J-ltth Ljrade So far we ' ve had a fine time this year. It has been very interesting and we ' ve had lots of fun too. We started the year by taking walks during the lovely fall days, raking leaves, burning them, sketching, and painting the beautiful trees and leaves. We went to Harms Woods and sketched. Did we have fun! We found out so many things about trees, and we kept on finding out new things, and after a while we decided to give a Morning Ex. We learned a lot about ourselves, too — what is the average growth of a child the first year, second, and so on until he ' s full grown at about sixteen. Human beings stop growing, but a tree goes on growing until it dies. One thing starts you thinking about something else. It ' s fun to learn. We ' ve just given our Lincoln play. Each character dictated his part and now we have the play all written — written by and produced by the Fifth Grade. We all like to give plays. It ' s hard work, but we had fun, too. Abe Lincoln is a very interesting person to study about. He is one of our greatest Americans. He left us so many wise sayings. Our study of Lincoln got us started in making scrap books and dioramas. Some of our dioramas are really good. We are hoping we can go to Springfield and New Salem, Illinois, in May and sleep in a hotel. Going to the Historical Society gave us the idea because we got so interested in Lincoln. That ' s a good place to visit. 34 Back tables — D. Gorham, E. Colby, D. Wham, D. Cain, M. Sheesley, R.

It was at our play period and we were going through our paces, when all of a sudden some of the girls shouted, Yippeeeeeeee, it ' s snow- ing! ! Then Miss Wolsey excused us five min- utes early, and a lot of us girls were so excited that we forgot our coats and went straight out- side and opened our mouths and let the snow- flakes fall into them ! ! Coming back from the boys ' gym we ran around and made snowballs! When it was time to go home, Mother could not start the car. Our car was covered with ice and we threw hot water on it to get the ice off! On the windshield it was all slushy. The wind- shield wiper would push the wet snow to the side, and gradually the snow would pile up on the window. The windshield wiper packed it down tight and it froze so I had to wipe it off. The snow made ice on our car. The windows of the car froze so thick that I could not go riding. All the cars with snow on them looked like cars made out of snow! And then when I went home yesterday it was snowing, snowing in big flakes and snowing very hard. It was raining at the same time it was snowing. The snow made the sidewalks wet and the streets were slippery. Only one side of the trees was covered with snow because the wind was blowing one way which was South. It looked like cotton. As soon as I got home I went and got out my skiis. John knocked me down. Then we made a snowman and had a snowball fight. Then my brother made snowballs and he threw them at me, and I ducked behind the snowman. I was getting tired of making snowballs so I went to see our sheep and saw our chicken. He was awful, he was all bloody and half frozen! My mother was not home so I called our help, Vee, and I pushed the sheep away so she could look at the chicken because she was scared of the sheep. She said that if I had not found the chicken it would have died. We put him in our basement, and this morning he was crowing and woke me up! When I got home Wendy soon came out and put his nose in the snow. The snow stuck on but he rubbed it off, and when I made a snowball be would knock it out of my hand and eat it. Soon I got my sled out, but Wendy was always in the way. He would run at me and I hit my head against his, and it hurt on such a cold day! It stopped snowing before twilight and it froze. At night I looked out of my windows and everything looked all white with the moon shining on it. The moon made the snow all silver. Then I went to bed. This morning when I got up the ground was hard. The snow was all frozen and hard. My sister and I made roads in the snow. Then I went to school. The snow told me that Christmas would soon be here! 35 Jltird y jpade We have had a good time this year in third grade. In September we started school with Mrs. Killian as our teacher. We learned about the types of trees on our school grounds. The leaves were so pretty we pressed them and deco- rated our room with them. At Christmas time, the Brownies in our class gave a Shadow Play ' ' about the birth of Christ. All the children painted the story cf the Nativity on the classroom windows. Christmas was a very busy time, einging carols each morning and learning about the Christ Child. After Christmas we made up a Valentine play. The name of it was The Land of Happiness. All the characters were from books which had made us happy. We made up our songs and story and gave the play for the school on Val entine ' s Day. We had a very good time. Oh, yes, we want to tell you about the poetry club in the third grade. Miss Adshead reads poetry to us every Tuesday. We memorize many of the poems ourselves. We have studied our reading this year. We have learned how to add and subtract, and we have had a good time in science learning about pre-historic times. Right now we are studying about Holland. We are making an afghan for the school in Holland that the Lower School adopted. Yesterday we had a live baby alligator sent to us from South America. He certainly is fun to watch. These are a few of the many things we have done in the third grade this year. Table— L. Selz, L. Kidder, R. Harper, C. Hines. Floor— S. Michels, L. Anderson, P. Colton, C. Dunham, J. Ginsberg, L.

We can write a book. We can color in a book. It is fun to read a book. We like books. OUR TRIP TO THE FIRE STATION We went to the fire station on Friday. We saw two fire engines. We went upstairs and saw twelve beds. Seven firemen sleep there every night. We saw the kitchen and the living room. OUR INDIAN STORY The Indians killed the white men because they had the land first. They also didn ' t know who the white men were. Soon they became friends. These are the kinds of houses they lived in : Earth Houses Pueblo Tepees Grass Houses Bark Houses Log Houses THE LITTLE OLD SNOW PLOW Once upon a time there was a little old snow plow. His name was Frederick but they all called him Freddie for short. He was never used and was kept in an old, old garage. One day he was taken out of the garage because the new snow plow broke down. Freddie hummed as he worked. He was happy ever after because he was used very, very often. Left to right— T. Isham, V. Speakman, B. Gray, C. Blunt, M. Moulding, Mrs. Harker, E. Gibso n, B. Gammie, J.

He showed us where the pipes go. The pipes go under the ground. In the pipes there is steam to make the first grade warm and other buildings. Mr. Gourley said that the pipes go to every building but the office. He sbowed us the big fan. We saw two big furnaces — One furnace burns oil — One furnace burns coal when the weather is very, very cold. We saw tons and tons of coal. The oil is in a big tank in the ground. Mr. Gourley showed us where the oil goes into the tank. We saw water bubbling in a gauge. Mr. Gourley said it had been steam. We said, Thank you, Mr. Gourley. 38 Senior J inderacirh f We color and we paint and we work in our work books. We play with the bunnies and we feed the bunnies every day. We like to play in the doll corner. We like to play with the doll house. We like to dress the dollies and play with the dollies. We like to dress them up in all our costumes. We had a nice Christmas. We know how to skate and build snowmen. We play with blocks and build with blocks. We make tunnels and bridges and houses and factories. We like to go and sing. We like to work at the wood bench and make boats and sailboats and many, many trains. We have to clean the floor up and go to big Morning Ex. Happy, happy Easter! the Seniors Back— S. Sweeney, K.

Aunior J inderaarh Junior Kindergarten comments about things we like at school: I like the white mice best, but they are really rats. We bring old cheese and lettuce and bird seed and dog food for them. The rats hold tbe food in their hands wben they eat. Some day they might have babies because they are making a nest with paper strips. My mother won ' t let me have mice or rats because she is scared of them. Who ever heard of being scared of a mouse? I ' m not scared of anything, not even a big tiger or a lion. I ' m going to be a fireman when I ' m big and then I won ' t be scared of any- thing either I like to play store best. Wc even sell tooth powder in our store. We have a cuckoo-clock and a cuckoo comes out and a swallow, and it goes tick-tock and there is a roof on it and grapes and leaves. And there is an owl inside but he does not come out any day. 40 1947 Wirror EDITORS Audy Odell Mansfield Templeton Art Editor Barbara Smtih Sports editor Peter Henderson Student photographer Sam Earp ADVERTISING MANAGER BUSINESS MANAGER Jo Colton Frances Fenn Assitant — Jim Mooney JUNIOR EDITORS Muffy Gebhart Bob Butz Faculty advisor - - - Mr. Cleveland Thomas We wish to thank all who helped us by supplying photo- graphs, written material, and advertisements . 42 J urple and UUnih Editorial Staff Advertising and Business Staff The ' 46- ' 47 Purp was definitely bigger and better than ever before. The paper came out every two weeks with two main improvements: every issue had six pages and pictures. Under its editors, Nancy Clark and Pete Henderson, the editorial policy underwent quite a few changes. The main aim of the Purp this year was to make it more of a newspaper than it has been in the past and to give it more adequate coverage to school activities. Our business managers, Wendy Smith and C-y Gale, who each served for half a year, somehow managed to keep us out of the red, and the advertising managers, Mary Cahn and Gingy Allen, whipped their staffs into shape to get us more ads than ever before. In conclusion, the editors, a little haggard but still smiling, wish much luck, balanced books, and shorter, more efficient dummying sessions to their successors. 43 w ornin 9 C x L c ommuiee Itu In previous years the functions of the Morning Exercise Committee have gone almost unnoticed, and this is the first year that any mention of the com- mittee has been made in the Mirror. Although everyone welcomes the break between classes that Morning Ex provides, many people do not realize that it takes a smoothly running committee and plenty of work to schedule an exercise for every day. This year, headed by its chairman, Nancy Clark, the committee has done an excellent job in providing a full schedule of interesting and varied Morn- ing Exes. The committee, which meets every Thursday in the eighth period, is made up of the chairman, a representative from each home room in both the High School and the Middle School, and four faculty members: Mr. Thomas, Miss Christenberry, Mr. Hinrichs, and Miss Griffin. The committee is not limited to these, and anybody who is interested may come to the meetings. In this wav the entire school is represented, and, as a result, the Morning Exercisesare varied. The committee members keep their eyes open for material for Morning Exes in their classes and among their classmates. These suggestions are then discuseed in the meeting, and, if the committee feels that they will make good exercises, they are scheduled. The regular student members of the committee this year included Duke Tem- pleton, Ralph Harper, Barbara Smith, Mary Cahn, Audy Odell, Monte Judson. Anita Bills, Sue Storey, Kyle Benkert, Julie Fentress, Lucy Children, Jocie Haven, Alan Gidwitz, Bambi Witherell, Sara Packard, and Dodie Booth. 44 _ r K CLppella ippt The A Cappella Singers was formed by a few girls who expressed a desire for a singing group other than the chorus. The group was also to give the girls experience in reading and singing unaccompanied music. The size of the group was limited to twelve to make possible the singing of three, four, five, and even six part songs. At the opening of the next school year, with its inimitable director, Ramsay Duff, the group will be on its way to fame. When school commenced last fall, there were five vacancies left by last year ' s seniors. These places were soon filled and regular practice was resumed. Because of an involved schedule the group has continued to hold its rehearsals during the lunch period, three days a week. The A Cappella Singers have sung, during the past year, at various places and on various occasions. They sang in the Vaudeville, the Christmas program, at the Christmas Tableaux, at Northwestern University ' s School of Music, the American Opera Guild, and the Infant Welfare. As the group ' s repertoire con- sisted of contrapuntal music, folk songs, madrigals, motets, Russian church music, and part songs, it was possible for them to present varied programs on the different occasions. Members of the group are : Nancy Northrop, Binky Kleinman, Patti Carolan, Betty Jean MacGregor, Jean Cullin, Marietta Chapin, Jean Bunsie, Midge Chace, Pat Kirkpatrick, Sally Moyer, Nancy Adams, and Margo Wilson. 45 student Council The principal part of the student government of N.S.C.D.S. is the student council. This body of students consists of eight representatives, one from each room in the high school. There are also three representatives-at-large, a treas- urer, secretary, vice-president, and president. It is the purpose of this body to make and enforce laws deemed necessary by the student body. The council also acts as the upper house in the student government, the lower house being the whole high school. One of the principal duties of the student council is the collecting of money from different enterprises and spending it as it sees fit. This money is spent for officials for the different athletic contests. Any money that is left over is put into bonds or otherwise saved in case of a bad year. We have tried this last year to keep the school on a firm basis, and we feel that next year, with all the leadership shown in the lower classes, the school will be in excellent hands. 46 KJrcheAtra, Once a week in Walling may be heard the unusual sound made only by the tuning of an orchestra: violins climbing fifths, clarinets and bassoon trying scales, sax and flute just blowing, not to mention the drums which provide an interesting harmony. But the noise finally subsides and we are off. Our list of accomplishments ranges from Mozart and Haydn to Sibelius and Duff, and constitute many hours of hard, concentrated work. Our main project this year as usual was the opera, Xingabru , written by none other than our conductor. With its modernistic tendencies, humor, and wonderful rhythm it provided a lot of variety and even more fun. Our rehearsals have been hampered, though, by the absence of music scores because of loss or forgetfulness, instruments left at home, and the child- hood diseases which have been sweeping the school and keeping students home. Under Mr. Duff ' s expert guidance we have learned a great deal, in spite of the fact that we only meet for a short period which is made more brief by the time taken in assembling and tuning instruments. Although our string section suffered considerably from lack of players, we hope that with the entry of new students next fall the shortage will be overcome. Determination has carried us through all our difficulties, however, and throughout the year we have really had a wonderful time, gained by the deep satisfaction of combining notes successfully. 47 Cy. Ar. t. One great problem at North Shore is the lack of interest in girl ' s athletics. To try to remedy this situation the Girl ' s Athletic Association was organized two years ago. The G.A.A. consists of a president, two representatives from each home room, and the captain and manager of the hockey and basketball teams. In the fall, in an effort to promote more interest in athletics among the girls who were not on the hockey teams, the G.A.A. decided to divide all the girls into two teams — the Purple and the White — which chose their own captains and played a few games. Because this idea was new and untried, it did not fully succeed, but the G.A.A. hopes that the organization will be improved and that intramural games will become more popular. During the winter term G.A.A. tried to find out in a meeting of all the girls just why it was that many of them disliked the athletic program. In response to some of the suggestions both basketball and exercises were provided for the girls not on the basketball teams. In the spring the Association hopes to work out a satisfactory program whereby the girls will be able to play tennis and golf in addition to the regular program of baseball and archery. The G.A.A. has made a good start this year under the able leadership of its president, Barbara Smith, and we hope that the organization will grow to play an important part in school activities. 48 taae i rew The stage crew this year was in two divisions. There was the crew under Peter Sieck which prepared the stage for everyday use. The other section, headed by Ben Harper, handled the stage for the opera. Under very able leadership the stage has been very well run this year. The duties of the regular crew are varied. They have to keep the stage in running order and set up the proper equipment for morning ex. The opera crew did a very fine job despite the fact that they had a small crew. One of the most important items is the lighting, and this was very capably handled by Dave Kidd. The Crew , as they are commonly known, are a hard-working group of boys who are interested in the ways of stage craft. By the way, they are not all great singers which is another reason for their being on the very necessary crew. The Art, Shop, and Dramatic Departments are all behind the crew, and they each influence it in their own way. Although the crew does not always get the credit it deserves it is a necessary and important part of the school. 49 Social oLife Never a year goes by at North Shore without some long-remembered parties. People seem to like to get together and reminisce about the times when, Oh, do you remember that wonder- ful band! or I thought if I ate another thing I ' d burst! There certainly have been some good times at North Shore. Starting off the ' 46- ' 47 season of gala gath- erings was the Freshman-Senior Dance two weeks after the opening of school in the fall. This traditional party had a general Let ' s-get- to-know-the-Frosh purpose and was very suc- cessful. In the gaily decorated gym the Freshmen were initiated, at least socially, into their first year of high school. The next party was a dance given by the Junior class in the middle of the first quarter. We all know that Juniors have mercenary mo- tives for giving their dances. Ah, yes, the Prom! But at least we enjoy the fruits of their labors in the end. The Juniors ' dance was kept lively with juke-box music and an abundance of punch. Have we forgotten something? How could we forget the wonderful open-house after the Vau- deville! Manv thanks to its hostess! It certainly was a grand finale to the show. And that just about brings us up to the Christ- mas season. Now Christmas vacation, as every- one knows, is a time when we all stay home and get ten hours of sleep every night. Did I say anything wrons? Well, seriously now, I think we all owe a debt of thanks to all the neonle who fave so many good parties during the holiday 50 season. With the music and food and fun, how could those dances ever have been anything but the great successes they were? Did you say you ' ve still got bags under your eyes? Well, after all, Christmas comes but once a year! On January twenty-fifth the Detroit basketball team came down to play our Raiders. As the visitors had to make it an overnight trip, we decided to entertain them with a dance, and the Sophomores did the honors. Big welcome signs and the music of Jack Bali ' s band were high- lights of the evening. Some of our North Shore talent started the ball rolling with various musi- cal stunts, and we enjoyed having a group of the visitors contribute an impromptu song. We hope that the Detroit team enjoyed their visit as much as we did. The Freshmen ' s idea of giving a dance whose proceeds would be for European relief was an original and successful one. Student Council allowed the profits to go untaxed, as they were for a worthy cause. The dance, given in the girls ' gym on March eighth, had balloons as part of its decoration scheme. As we write this, the Prom is not really very fpr off. Already the Juniors are planning things. Vigorous class meetings take place frequently in the Junior girls ' room. With all that energy we ' re expecting a lot from them, and we know they ' ll come through with a never-to-be-forgotten Prom to wind up the roster of this year ' s social events! oLeicedter J rall For those nine boys attending North Shore who live in Chicago or even farther there is a refuge known as Leicester Hall. Leicester or ' the House is, to quote the catalogue, not quite a home but better than a boarding house to those nine boys. The duties of running this establishment fall upon Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. Mr. Thomas sees that everything runs like clockwork while Mrs. Thomas takes over the duties of seeing that the meals do not jive with those at school. The four seniors are Bob Waller and Chuck Bacon, both irom Chicago, and the two newcomers, Pete Brashears from California and Ash Harvey from New York. There is also one junior, John Stal- lings, two sophomores, Dave Holies and Pete Vail, and two freshmen, Cy Fanning and Andy Dallstream. A typical day: 7:34 A. M. — Nobody is at breakfast. 7:35 — Everybody is at breakfast. 7:50-8:10 — Pete Brashears is fighting the daily battle of my whiskers. 8:00 — Ernie Simon is on all five radios. 8:25 — Eight people leave for school. 8:31 — Waller leaves for school. 8 :31 A. M. — 4 :30 P. M. — Peace. 5:00-6:30 — Tea for all, and boys are pursuing their hobbies. Chuck is murdering the Stein way; Grunts Stallings and Andy Dallstream are playing ping-pong with three balls; Cy Fanning is cutting out pic- tures of cars; Pete Vail and Dave Holies are conversing quietly and peacefully; Bob is following politics; and Pete Brashears and Ash are weeding it . 6:30 — Supper. More intelligent conversation with Ittie and No, you being the main theme. 7:00 — Telephone calls. 7:45-9:15 — Bob and Ash lead the group in pursuing their studies. 9:15 — Peanut butter sandwiches and milk and general madhouse until 10:00. 10:00 — With the Freshmen and Sophomores supposedly in bed the others listen to the A. B.C. Club until sleep catches up with them. 51 WauSba f y Every year in the first part of May the school celebrates May Day. The day is carefully planned by a committee of Sophomore girls under the direction of Dr. Landau. The first thing on the program is a play given by the Fifth Grade. After this each class marches with its banner to the green where the rest of the day is spent. When the classes have arrived, the May Queen and her two attendants make their way to the flower-covered throne. A folk dance is then performed for the May Queen by each of the grades. The girls of each class wear dresses of the same color, and the boys are dressed in white and wear colored sashes. The last dance to be performed is the traditional May Pole dance, which is done by the Seniors. The Queen and her attendants then leave the green, and this is the signal for the picnic lunch to begin. Each grade lias its own place to eat, which is marked by its banner. The lunch concludes the festivities. The day is very much enjoyed by everyone, especially the settlement children from Chicago, who are guests of the Sophomore and Junior girls. For the past two years May Day has been held in the boy ' s gym because of bad weather, but we hope that this year the sun will shine for our May Queen. Barbara LaRochelle, and her two attendants, Barbara Smith and Nancy Northrop. 52 UJecLr of esDebt eJjepi •t ariure Letlls Debt Free ROY W. WALHALM Almost from its inception, the North Shore Country Day School has been under-financed. This has wrought several hardships, the two most serious of which have been an inability to reward properly a loyal and capable faculty, and the perpetuation of a struggle to maintain adequately the School ' s plant and equipment. This year has seen the indebtedness page wiped clean. Commencing in January and preceded by careful research and planning, a Debt Retire- ment and Development Program was launched by the Board of Directors, under the super- vision of parents, Roy W. Walhohn as campaign manager. The goal was set at $250,000. Through the conscientious and brilliant efforts of three campaign committees (Special Gifts, General, and Alumni) comprising approxi- mately 240 workers, and thanks also to the in- spiring friendship and loyalty of parents, ex- parents, graduates, and friends, the campaign succeeded so well that, by the time of its closing date, March 31st, it had gone over the top and the amount pledged exceeded $275,000. The senior class salutes the achievement with a sincere round of applause for both workers and contributors! Accustomed as we are, at North Shore Country Day School, to the help and interest of parents and faculty alike, old and new, the assurance which this campaign ' s success gives to the con- tinuing elevation of the School ' s standards and progress has furnished us with a new and in- spiring example of the effectiveness of the student-faculty-family relationship which makes school years here so very much worth while. We find special delight in the fact that the School ' s Let ' s Be Debt Free objective became an historic event on the calendar of our senior year. S3 Jhe d5ou 5 C ndemble v This year we have an innovation at North Shore. A group of boys who were interested in singing for the fun of it decided to imitate the girl ' s A Cappella and form a boy ' s ensemble. Naturally we wouldn ' t get very far without a director, so we approached Mr. Duff, who kindly consented to give us part of two lunch periods a week for rehearsals. We decided to limit the membership of the ensemble to twelve boys and to add new members only in case of vacancies. However, toward the end of the year we plan to train for the ensemble enough under-classmen to take the places of the eight seniors who are graduating. We have tried to learn many different types of songs, ranging from simple college songs to harder choruses by composers like Franck and Sibelius. Our public appearances to the time of the writing of this article have been extremely successful. We have established a reputation for our lusty college songs. We have appeared in the Vaudeville and at the football banquet, singing various college songs. Later on in the year we plan to present some of the other things we have learned at school and also to combine with the A Cappella Singers in mixed choruses. We have already been asked to sing for the Chicago Opera Guild in February. At this concert we will sing some songs by American composers and combine with the A Cappella to sing Song of the Universal and excerpts from Xingabru , both composed by Mr. Duff. The roster of the Ensemble reads: 1st Tonor Kyle Benkert Jay Wallace 1st Bass Chuck Bacon Frank Dunbaugh Comer Plummer Jack Anderson 2nd Tenor John Cawelti Bob Waller 2nd Bass Pete Henderson John Parker Ted Glaser Ashton Harvey 54 vaudeville The Vaudeville of 1946, headed by co-chairmen Clarence Blomgren and Mary Cahn and ably advised by Mr. Duff, Miss Christenberry, and Mr. Smith, was notable for two things: the wonderful spirit of the cast and the enjoyment of the audience. We were extremely fortunate in our great array of talent, and there is no doubt that, had a Hollywood talent scout been a member of the audience, the school would be minus quite a few prospective stars . The opening scene of the Vaudeville took place on a college campus. After a number by the chorus, A Cappella and the Boy ' s Ensemble both sang. An up-to date version of Snow White was then presented complete with Snowy in a slinky black dress; a big, strong Prince, dragging a clanking sword along the ground; an evil witch with a speech defect; and a rather hurriedly put- together horse. Between acts the audience was entertained by a mother-trying-to-get- daughter-to-take-a-bath routine and the famous Floating Four singing Blue Skies . The second act, which took place at a fair in front of the wildest backdrop ever seen at North Shore, contained a boxing routine, a tumbling act, a chorus line, and a marvelous wrestling match between one of our alumni, John Jameson, and a friend of his. The setting for the third act was a beer hall, and the rest of the numbers were given there in the form of a floor show. The acts included some well sung solos, a chorus line, and a trial scene from the Wild West. Last, but definitely not least, came the North Shore Andrews Sisters , the hit of the evening. For the finale the entire cast came on stage to sing Hallelujah . The chorus, under the able direction of John Cawelti, did a fine job on Its a Grand Night for Singing , Come to the Fair , and Hallelujah . All in all, we believe that the Vaudeville of 1946 will be long remembered, if not for the perfection of the performance, for the marvelous spirit and cooperation which the entire cast showed in pulling what might easily have been a flop into a great success. 57 i hridtmaA J ta v On December nineteenth the Freshmen gave the Christmas play. They chose to do The Coming of Christ by John Masefield. This play was quite different from the usual nativity scene in that the play began in Heaven before Christ is born in Bethlehem. In Heaven He announces his intention of des- cending to earth to the angels, who agree that they can grant him no comfort in his going, for they fear that he is foolish to leave at all and that man is beyond help in evil deeds. He leaves anyway, and the chorus of angels together tell of his birth in the lowly stable and of what his coming will mean to mankind. By means of this chorus the scene is changed from Heaven to earth, and we see shepherds watching their flocks in a field and hear them tell of the difficulties of their lives. The angel of the Lord then appears and tells them of Christ ' s coming to the stable in Bethlehem. The traditional three wise men now approach, and we learn why they have come all this way from their foreign lands to kneel before this tiny babe in the manger. The play ends with the shepherds and kings kneeling before the tableau of Mary and Joseph by the manger while the angels sing. During the play the host of Heaven, made up of Freshman girls on stage and a chorus of other High School voices, sing five songs. Just as the play is over, they join the audience in singing Stille Nacht from the hall. Everyone in the Freshman class took s ome part in preparing the play, if not actually on stage, by helping on committees or crews, of which there were several. A good deal of work was required for painting scenery, helping with costumes, and working on lighting, and the im- pressive performance was the result of many combined talents. 58 Senior f- la f The Senior class this year chose as their play Berkeley Square by John Balderston. This play is the story of a young archaeologist who has a strange theory about time. Time, he says, is like a river. The past, present, and future are all existing at the same time, but one cannot see the past or the future because they are beyond bends in the river of time. Peter, the archaeologist, manages to go backward in time, where he takes the place of one of his ancestors. His journey into the past is made tragic by the fact that he falls in love with the wrong girl. He cannot marry her because his ancestor did not and Peter cannot change the course of events. This play was an excellent one to give as it provided many jobs in all phases of the pro- duction. There were many characters, and a large part of the class was included in the cast. The contrast in time between the two settings gave the costume and property com- mittees interesting jobs and also gave the scenery and lighting departments a chance to work out interesting effects. We owe a debt of thanks to Mr. Smith, whose untiring efforts as director were a great factor in making the play an entertaining and successful production. 59 a era For the 1947 opera the Gilbert and Sullivan tradition at North Shore was broken by the pre- sentation of Xingabru by John Jameson and Ramsay Duff. This opera was first written while Jamo was a Junior at North Shore and Mr. Duff was music director. It was given in 1942 on a double bill with Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Trial by Jury . Last year Mr. Duff and Jamo got together and revised the opera and made it into a full length production. In this form it was given on March 27, 28, and 29, 1947. The setting is the middle of the jungle where a fugitive and a chorus of daughters live. The father is being pursued by the Northwest Mount- ed Police for having misplaced a baby years ago. A case of love at first sight, a double-crossing cannibal chief, and a startling unraveling of the plot bring the opera to a close with a mighty Ha! . Martha and Clarence ' s rubbers , the can- nibal chief ' s Ugh, Spinach! , and the snap of Miss Christenberry ' s fingers will remain happy memories as will Mignon ' s high C, Father ' s My, how you ' ve grown! , and Captain Croft ' s Com- pany dismount and water your horses! As usual, the parent costume committee did a wonderful job outfitting the cast with red coats, long brown underwear, and sarongs. They de- serve a special vote of thanks for the time and interest which they devoted to doing an efficient job. The scenery was designed and painted by the Art Department Student business, stage, and property managers took care of other phases of the production. As usual, the Freshman girls had charge of making up the choruses while the leads were made up by faculty members. The orchestra, supplemented by a few professional musicians, provided the accompaniment. Saturday evening was climaxed by an open- house which some of the parents gave in the girl ' s gym. Cokes, sandwiches, and cookies were served from a purple and white covered table. The decorations consisted of posters and shields with the names of the leads painted on them. There was also dancing to a juke box, and a wonderful time was had by all. Many thanks to the parents who stepped in and prevented the open-house tradition from being broken. Miss Christenberry did a fine job directing the acting and make-up. Her continuous and tireless efforts are very much appreciated, and they also produced results — the girl ' s chorus smiled! We are most indebted to Mr. Duff not only for writing the music, but also for his hard work and his patient and superb directing which made Xineabru a great success.

Six times the team took the field and six times it emerged the victor, thus racking up the first perfect campaign since 1928. Under the very able leadership of Doc Anderson, who took over the coaching reins after an absence of three years, and Ric Lambart, who gave generously of his time to coach the line, the Raiders improved from week to week. Because of its withdrawal from the Private School League over the question of eligibility, North Shore faced several new opponents. It was against one of these newcomers, Evanston High School ' s Junior Varsity, that tbe Raiders launched the ' 46 campaign. The Evanstonians had the dubious privilege of being North Shore ' s first victim, as the Raiders plowed seventy yards early in the game for the only touchdown. The final score was 6 — 0. What promised to be one of the season ' s toughest games was next in line, as North Shore met Latin, undefeated for three years. The ex- league champs were completely outclassed, with the Raiders capitalizing on every break to win 13 — 6. Both Purple scores were the result of intercepted passes, while Latin ' s only tally came after a late desperation drive. After a week ' s rest North Shore met New Trier ' s Junior Varsity. The visitors took a terrific pasting as the Raiders rolled to three touch- Back row — S. Smith, Templeton, Brashears, Blomgren, Cawelti, Parker, Wallfr, T. Butz, Sholes, Mooney (manager).

The first score was the result of a long pass, while the other two came on runs set up hy passes. But against Todd it was a different story. The fighting Raiders had to come from behind to win, as a Todd back ran eighty-five yards to score early in the game, but come from behind they did to emerge with a thrilling 7 — 6 triumph. A brilliant pass play by North Shore moved the ball to Todd ' s five yard line late in the game, and from there the Raiders went over on an end run. The kick was perfect, and it meant the victory. Elgin Academy proved an easy touch after the Todd battle, and the Purple steamroller crushed them 13-0. Both scoring plays were on end runs, although much of the day ' s yardage was gained on passes. All season long the Raiders had looked for- ward to the annual battle with their traditional rivals, Francis Parker. There couldn ' t have been a more fitting climax to a grand season than that game. Both teams were battling for an undefeated season. But North Shore domi- nated the play, scoring first on a long pass, and then on a Parker safety, to win 9-0. Credit for this great season belongs not only to Doc Anderson and Ric Lambart, the coaches, but also to Captain Comer Plummer, a grand leader. And with John McCoy as captain, next year ' s team can look forward to another success- ful campaign. Good luck to the squad of ' 47! 66 •   VT Fr0 nf I lu h r Mr R B, K rd, , R R d0lph ' Ble Al Cer ' Vail Kirkp a trick,Bel8he, Holies, Farrar, Montgomery, Judson, Gilmore, Pitzner, Dallslream, Roberts Benjamin, Alexander, Wane, Benkert, Moyer, Gidwitz, Egan, Nelson, Wallace, Notz, Ferris Jones Wynns, Stenson, Wilson, Mahoney.

' ' ' Kranz ' 68 (7 5a5ketbali This year, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Harritt, North Shore had one of its greatest basketball seasons. Not enough credit can be given to Mr. Harritt for his able guidance and to Captain Ralph Harper for his great spirit and leadership. Praise should also go to Manager Jim Mooney for his faithful and conscientious work. Good spirit and cooperation of the team with each other and with Mr. Harritt combined to give North Shore a basketball season that will not soon be forgotten. On January 18, North Shore traveled up to Milwaukee to open their season. The Raiders looked a little ragged, but this could be ex- pected in their first game. The score was very close the first half, but the Raiders hit their stride the second half and edged out a 53-48 victory. The following Tuesday, January 21, Chicago Latin was host to North Shore. Off to a flying start, North Shore built up a comfortable lead the first half. However, in the second half the Raiders faltered and were just able to escape with a 40-38 victory. Saturday, January 25, North Shore began what we are sure will be a keen rivalry by de- feating a hard fighting five from Detroit Uni- versity School 37-21. This was the opening game at home, and a large and enthusiastic crowd turned out as they did for every game to cheer the Raiders to victory. On Friday, February 11, the Raiders dropped their first game to Todd by a score of 45-47. The game was hard fought and exciting and was not decided until the final seconds. In the remaining three games the Raiders nosed out Elgin Academy 38-36, beat Detroit a second time 50-29, and smothered Milwaukee 69-38 for their second victory of the year over this team. The Milwaukee game was notable for North Shore ' s high scoring, especially by Ralph Harper, who broke the school scoring record with his 31 points. With eight victories and one defeat the 1946- 47 Raiders ended a verv successful season. We are sure that the grand spirit and cooperation given forth this year will carry over to next vear ' s team. Under the leadership and guidance of Captain John Noble and Mr. Harritt, the ' 47- ' 48 Raiders are sure to come out on top. We wish them the best of luck. 69 d5adhetbail VARSITY w f f f .; S£ T ' - ' f Imps J T ■ M H n r Bft hi v ' ' ■ • ™ y IHk - ■ s ' m av BH i J -,. 12 kV . - Br  ■ ; I J [ ' ■ ■■■■■ m fciii jp - H w % STHSi, 64 — ■v i J I Ef T B gHEgSB S3£ 11 r v Back row — Mr. Harritt, Wallace, Keller, McCoy, Piehl, P.

Twenty-six boys, led by Captain John Parker and six other lettermen, have attended these workouts, representing one of the largest turnouts in recent years. The baseball team is faced with the Herculean task of taking up where the recent football and basketball teams left off. And whereas the latter squads were fortunate in having a large group of lettermen to build the team around, the base- ball team was hit much harder by graduation. As a result most of the first string positions are wide open and much of the talent will come from the underclassmen. As in other sports North Shore is no longer a member of the Private School League and consequently will not compete with many of the teams in that league. This necessitates a search for new opponents to fill the schedule. Although at present the list is not yet complete, Coach Harritt is still trying to arrange with other schools. As the schedule now stands, North Shore will face Francis Parker once, Detroit University School once, and Milwaukee Country Day and Lake Forest Academy twice each. Since only a few of the rookies have had a chance to display their talents, and as it is too early to judge the condition of the veterans, a prediction as to the outcome of the season is impossible. Of one thing we are assured, how- ever. With John Parker at the helm displaying the same aggressive leadership which has char- acterized his work in other fields, and given the same whole-hearted cooperation which has made this such a great year for athletics, North Shore will be represented by a team of which it may long be proud. 72 Reason d t eduitd FOOTBALL North Shore 6 Evanston Junior Varsity North Shore 13 Latin 6 North Shore 18 New Trier Junior Varsity North Shore 7 Todd 6 North Shore 13 Elgin North Shore 9 Francis Parker BASKETBALL North Shore 51 Milwaukee 43 North Shore 40 Latin 38 North Shore 37 Detroit 21 North Shore 54 Wheaton 37 North Shore 49 Francis Parker 42 North Shore 45 Todd 47 North Shore 38 Elgin 36 North Shore 50 Detroit 29 North Shore 69 Milwaukee 38 73 Top row — Earp.

Both of these are familiar calls to those who are members of the G.L. A. ( Girls ' Locker-room Association. ) To belong you have to be minus at least one essential piece of cloth- ing. However, after rummaging through a huge pile of grubby, unattractive articles and grab- bing a tennis shoe two sizes too small, a fairly large collection of three-quarters dressed, ath- letic-looking females gathers on the field. Sur- rounding this group invariably are some dismayed middle-schoolites gazing longingly at their hockey sticks firmly held by some immense amazons. This year, after being undefeated for a decade, the first team lost two games. Ferry Hall came down to our field and, as usual, the battle was pretty close — a 0-0 tie at the half. What hap- pened in the next half is the object of involved and vague explanations which the members of the backfield are still uttering. ' Twill suffice to say that we were defeated 1-0. Two days later, when we played a return game at Ferry Hall, our success was almost immedi- ate; our skill and determination were winning 2-0 at the half. However, to be brief the score was 2-2 when the final whistle blew. 74 Our first game of the season was with Francis Parker, whom we defeated 2-0 after a very active struggle. After playing Ferry Hall, we went on to another victory, Girls ' Latin School — score: 1-0. Through the rain and mud at Milwaukee Downer we slipped to another defeat of 1-0. This time their point was made in the first quarter, but, although the action was kept in their half of the field for the rest of the game, Downer ' s goalie was more than excellent, and we were unable to score. The most exciting game, as usual, was against the big unmerciful brutes who make up the foot- ball team. Much to our astonishment we held them to a 0-0 tie. Casualties: innumerable bruises on all players, especially the feminine ones, and a rather hashed hocked field. The second team deserves special commenda- tion for being undefeated, tieing only Milwau- kee 0-0. They heat Ferry Hall twice 2-0; Francis Parker went down 5-0, and Latin 3-0. Many thanks to Miss Land and Miss Wolscy for guiding us through a hockey season filled wtih fun and activity. And good luck to Georgia Elmes and C-y Gale when they take the field next year as captain and manager. HOCKEY 75 VARSITY Back row — Odell, B. Smith, Storey, Miss Land. Front row — Blunt, G.

On February 8, the season was launched against Francis Parker. North Shore got off to a slow start, but at the half the score was 20-19 in our favor. During the rest of the game we continued to pull steadily ahead and won by a score of 45-33. The second team dealt Parker a crushing defeat with a 49-12 score. The following week the most exciting game of the season was played against Roycemore. Our second team won 38-24, but the varsity did not do so well. Roycemore took an early lead and held it until the final minutes of the game when North Shore tied the score. From there on it was a case of Roycemore going ahead and North Shore evening up the score. Finally, how- ever, Roycemore threw in three baskets in quick succession to win 37-31. The next game was with Ferry Hall. Although they started out in the lead, North Shore soon caught up with and outdistanced them to win 76 25-17. The second team lost their only game of the season with a 27-33 defeat. The last game was the only home game of the year. This was against our worst rivals — Girl ' s Latin. For years we had been unable to defeat them, but we had the advantage this year of playing in the boys ' gym. This fact plus some good shooting and guarding managed to turn the tide, and our varsity won by a score of 21-14. The second team scored a 32-23 victory over Latin to equal the varsity record of three wins and one loss. An entertaining ( ! ) post-season game was played against the faculty on March 12. This battle at first appeared to be an opportunity to get back at the teachers, but just the opposite was the case. The students, a little flabbergasted and much too slow, were unable to resist the onslaught. The slick scoring combination of Mr. McCarty and Mr. Browne proved to be the final blow, and the faculty won 27-15. A great deal of credit for the success of the season belongs to Miss Land for her coaching and to Barb LaRochelle and Georgia Elmes, our captain and manager, for their swell spirit.
