GIRLS’ LEAGUE OFFICERS Ethyl Copeland............................President Moixie Meksky.............................First Vice-President Ethel Harrison............................Second Vice-President Lena Rappaport............................Secretary-Treasurer UNDOl BTEDLY the most comprehensively influential organization at North High is the Girls’ League, for when a girl enters North she automatically becomes a member of the organization, and it is through this branch that she is initiated into school life. The League is incessantly active; its services are numerous and inestimable. Under the League’s supervision, the remarkable work at the Phyllis Wheatley and I nity Settlement Houses has been carried on. Gloriously successful was the annual Christmas Party for the Phyllis Wheatley kiddies, to whom toys were donated by the various clubs and home rooms of the school. In addition to the admirable settlement work, the Girls’ League sponsored a “B” Sophomore Welcome Party, and a “Girls' Sunlite ’ this year. It also administered the student government work in the lunch room and study halls. This work, which is supervised by Ethel Harrison, second vice-president, includes the cleaning up of the lunch room between the two lunch periods and the study halls at the end of each period. Recently, in conjunction with the G. A. A., the League took part in a Health Week demonstration held at North. The officers of this organization are elected every year. Those who have held office in the past year are Ethyl Copeland, president; Mol lie Mersky. first vice-president: Ethel Harrison, second vice-president; and Lena Rappaport, secretary-treasurer. Helen Bruce is chairman of the Service Committee. Miss Anne Lane. Dean of Girls, acts in the capacity of adviser. Page Ticenty-Three

GLEE CLUBS UNDER (he experienced guidance of Mr. Roy Tenney, musical director, the Glee Clubs consummated a successful year with the presentation of the opera “Robin Hood.” In a district and state music contest in which it competed during the spring of 1925. the Glee Club was awarded a cup for first place in the mixed chorus. Here, too. the boys Glee Club was adjudged worthy of the cup which indicated fir t place. “Rose Maiden,” a cantata by Frederic Cowcn, was presented in the spring of 1925 by the Glee Club and choice representatives of the chorus classes. It proved a big musical success. The boys’ quartette, composed of Edwin Lindstrom, Edward Rosenberg, Dean McClymont, and Harold Miller, has developed into the finest quartette North has ever produced. They have provided entertainment at innumerable affairs connected with the school, and at banquets and dinners given bv the business men of the city. They have also proven their popularity over radio. I’agt Tirruli 'Tirn

ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL OFFICERS Joe Havstad............................... 'resident David SKOLNICK.............................Vice-President Fae Brechner..............................Secretary THE exceedingly important business of designating the enviable recipients of all letters, bars, medals, and cups is effected by the Athletic Board of Control, which has charge of all North High athletics. The hoard is elected in October of each school year. Vacancies left by those who graduate are filled by a special meeting. The meetings occur the second Tuesday of each school month at 9:15 in room 115. The departments of athletics recognized as major sports for hoys are: football, basketball, baseball, and outdoor track; for the girls are volleyball, indoor, and track. Those as minor for the hoys are indoor track, cross country, hockey, tennis, golf, and special gymnastics; for the girls there are swimming, skating, folk dancing, and tennis. In addition to Mr. Hobbs, principal, Mr. Mandcville, faculty business manager, and Mr. Pollard, school treasurer, the officers of the association arc as follows: Joe Havstad, president; David Skolnick, vice-president; Fae Brechner. secretary; Jack Glotter, sergeant-at-arms; ami a girl and boy representative from each of the three classes. North High students are justified in feeling proud of their school in athletics, for not only has it won many championships but never has there been a deficit in financial matters. This is due partly to the inestimably fine management of Mr. Mandcville and partly to the fact that a budget is used whereby only a definite amount is allotted each department. This sets the financial plan of athletics on a rigid, definite plan basis. Standing Mabcis, Piumx, Madimjn, Omani , (.lotto. Wukh, Oatkbiu Sniing Rivas. Smh-mck. Rmechhib, Ms. Hoas . Math iso .
