MOVING-UP DAY SONG Proudly march the under-classmen, Through the rows they filled last year, Wending upward, rushing onward, Toward the goal each term brings near. Weaving in and out the rows, Every class now slowly goesg Symbolic of our lives ahead As the shuttle weaves the thread- lluilding fabrics of the life, Strong enough to stand the strife. Onward, onward, ever on, 'Till the cloth of life is done. Sadly march the stately senior, To the doorway down the stairg Soon to start another pattern ln the fabric started there. STAND THE STRIFEF' 2 fp' 'I

,Lian IN SHORT WE BUILD WFABRICS OF THE LIFE STRONG ENOUGH TO Perhaps the one day most treasured by the students of North Shore is lVloving-Up Day, which was introduced by Mr. Furlong twenty-four years ago. On this special day in late spring, the entire student body gathers in the gymnasium, with the Freshmen dressed in green, the Sophomores in pink, the Juniors in yellow and the grand old Seniors in white. After awards have been distributed and the yearbook presented, with nostalgic thoughts and, in many cases, eyes filled with tears, the students slowly Hweave in and out the rowsv, singing the Moving-Up Day song until they have moved up', to the rows which the class above had filled. The underclassmen then file out- side and form a gauntlet through which the Seniors pass. At this time, the outstanding senior is Htappedu, receiving the highest honor at North Shore. Moving-Up Day is a time of reflection upon the year gone by, but, even more important, it is a time of anticipation of the years to come.
