La Seine est un fleuve assez profond qui se jette dans La Manche. I1 5' a plus de trente ponts dans les limites de Paris. Sur la rive droite on trouve des etablissements de commerce et d'industrie, et sur la rive gouche sont les cen- tres de l'ancienne aristocratic, de la vie scienti- fique. et de la vie universitaire.

MANET 17 HEARD OVER THE AUDIOPHONE Some of the interesting programs that the student body of the school has heard over our Addressophone system this term have been: The Walter Damrosh Concert every Friday morning, the student council inaugurations, the President's message to Congress, the exercises from Yorktown and the Christmas Carols, heard in the mornings for a week or so before Christmas. Our system has been greatly improved this year and now the whole school may hear the assemblies or any special programs given from the auditorium. TENTH GRADE OFFICERS The election returns of the tenth grade placed these pupils in positions of responsibility: President, Joseph McVVeeney Vice-President, Natalie Archer Secretary, Bernice VValker Treasurer, John Heurth DANCE HELD BY THE TENTH GRADE BIOLOGY CLASSES The first dance or social of the season was held by the tenth grade biology classes. The attendance was almost a record for this sort of social at North. Many tenth graders attended and there were quite a few ninth graders present. The proceeds are to be turned over to the athletic fund. STUDENTS ATTEND SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY .Accompanied by Miss Parker, a group of pupils attended 'CA Midsummer Night's Dream. The play was presented by the Strat- ford-on-Avon Festival Company. They enjoyed it immensely and are looking forward to seeing others. TO VISIT WEATHER OBSERVATION BUREAU Some of the pupils of Miss Kimball's general science classes hope to visit the VVeather Obser- vation Bureau at Young's Hotel in Boston. The pupils have studied the ways and means of predicting the weather and are especially in- terested in the instruments that are used in this work. For a period of a week the pupils have kept the clippings from the newspapers that predict the weather. They have found the percent of times that the weather man has predicted correctly. This is a favorable record seeing that there are so many obstacles in the way of the correct prediction. The classes have enjoyed their work im- mensely and are looking forward to a trip to the Harvard Observatory. The classes have studied a little about the heavens and astron- omy. This trip will be made at night. All of the pupils that go will have a chance to look through one of the large telescopes. There will be a short lecture about the subject by the head professor at the observatory. Each night in their prayers the pupils send up a wish that the night in February that is chosen for the trip will be clear. A NINTH GRADE CLASS ELECTION The ninth grade held its election and the following students will serve in their respec- tive offices for the term: Lorenz Schroth, presi- dentg Kathline Buddenhagen, vice-presidentg Helen Yandeleur, secretaryg HVVoody Jenk- ins, treasurer. FIRST DANCE HELD BY NINTH GRADE The first dance ever run by the present ninth grade class was held on Friday evening, De- cember ll, 1931. The purpose of the dance was to have the students of the ninth grade get- together in a social way. Some tenth grade students were present.. Mr. and Mrs. Collins and family, were pres- ent. The inatrons were Mrs. Buddenhagen, the vice-presidents motherg and Mrs. Vandeleur, the secretary 's mother. ' The teachers at the dance were Miss Kim- ball, Miss Sundelin, Miss Marr, Miss Ready, Miss Beasley, Mrs. Frye, Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Bacon. The dance was a great success and the pro- ceeds will be turned over to the athletic fund. The 'tMerrymakers furnished the music. There will be more socials in the future. NO DANCING CLUBS Owing to the fact that the gymnasium is in use every afternoon there will be no dancing clubs until next spring. In the spring there is a chance the ninth and tenth grades will have dancing clubs. The gym is used for athletic activities during the winter and in the spring the teams are disbanded or they go outside for practice and games. The club is missed by the tenth graders and is mourned by the ninth graders because they would like to brush up on the plain and fancy steps in preparation for the dance in June. There are dances at other times besides June, but the big one comes at graduation time. EXTRA EXTRA OUR WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Dear old North is going places in a hurry. We now have a weekly publication. Wlio pub- lishes it? NVhy, the Student Council. Kath- line Buddenhagen is the Editor-in-Chief. This one page weekly can be purchased for the sum of one copper cent. All joking aside. This paper is really worth the cent paid for it. It has an excellent club column. .There are very fine editorials. The whole student body of North backs the Student Oouncilis latest project. Anything that the Council backs is sure to be worthwhile.
