MANET 5 Anna Cummings IT REMAINS ln 1928 was printed the first issue of our school magazine. The name ttManeti' mean- ing it remains was chosen for its significance. But not only the Manet has remained through the years. A fine spirit of helpfulness, loyalty, friendli- ness and progress has been shown. A survey of the school will reveal many things which would not be possible without these qualities. If it were not for the helpfulness of the boys and girls many families might have had a less happy Christmas. Toys and games as well as clothing were brought to Miss Connick, our sewing teacher. who saw that they were put in condition to be given out and then were sent to the Family XVelfare Society for distribution. North won the city championship in basket- ball. A fine spirit of loyalty was shown there. The players were so loyally supported that new life and pep was put into them urging them on to victory. An example of progress is shown in our orchestra. Some of the instruments belong to the city, enabling pupils to have an opportunity to learn to play. This urge to progress is not confined to individuals but to the school as a whole. Nearly everyone liege at North is try- ing to get the most he can out of his school life. . 'Were it not for the human spirit of friendli- ness between teachers and pupils which can be seen at almost any time in all the classrooms these fine virtues would not be encouraged to remain within our school. - Anna Cummings, 10-1. .

My EDlTORIALS.fxf A NEW PLAN For the first time in the history of the Quincy educational system the junior and senior high school is under the same roof. This year we have welcomed into our school the sophomore class which is the first step in enlarging the North Junior High School into the North Quincy High School. A new wing accommodates this new class of over three hundred boys and girls. The cafeteria was .enlarged to over twice its original size. New cooking rooms, a sewing room, science rooms, and a typewriting room, all fully equipped, are at the service of the pupils. Many new clubs have been formed. Two assemblies, one for seventh and eighth grades, and one for ninth and tenth grades have been arranged each week and more traffic officers have been put on duty to make this new system move along smoothly. The present sophomore class will build up senior grades as they advance, and will be the first class to graduate from the North Quincy High School. Anna Cummings, 10-1. OUR ADDRESSAPHONE SYSTEM North Quincy High is very fortunate in being supplied with one of the best addressaphone systems. It excells by far the old audiophone system which was removed last year. Vifhend it was installed it required new speakers, ampli- fiers and controls. The addressaphones are controlled from the office, with an auxiliary control box in the moving picture booth at the rear of the auditorium. - In the office, by Mr. Collins' desk, is one of the control boxes, finished in black. Through a wire screen may be seen amplifying tubes. In the middle of a panel is an amplifying switch, which turns on the current. Vtlhen this switch is on, a red light glows. At the right of the panel are three switches, one for the speakers in tl1e old building, one for the speakers in the new building, and one for the monitor, or office speaker. On the left are four switches, one to connect the phonograph, an- other the radio, and the other two connect the office and auditorium microphones respectively. There also is a dial controlling the volume.

6 MANET The control box in the auditorium is prac- tically the same as the one in the office, with an amplifying switch in the middle, and a switch on the right which turns on the speakers and sends the program to the office from which it is relayed to the room speakers. One switch on the left controls the microphone and the phonograph when in the auditorium, another the office and auditorium microphones. XVhen a program is to be sent from the audi- torium throughout the school both control boxes must be used. The same thing applies when a program is sent from the ofiice to the auditorium or gymnasium. The gymnasium speakers are turned on in the gymnasium, but the switch in the auditor- ium must also be on. Robert B. Keith. CHRISTMAS WELFARE WORK North spirit came to the front again when a call was sent to the student body to participate in bringing joy and happiness to the needy families of Quincy. The school responded Well, as usual, and Room 8, Miss Connick's room, took immediate charge, under the leadership of its home room president, Virginia Andros. The girls wrapped and packaged the toys, clothing, and food. North's contribution will surely be appreciated. Robert B. Keith, 10-4. BACKING THE STUDENT COUNCIL I have been thinking about this subject quite a bit lately. Do we back the Student Council to the best of our ability? You know that you voted and selected your council members. If you don 't back them at all times how do you expect them to do their best for your school and your home room? VVe have always said that CO-OPERATION is one of the keynotes of success. In any and all things that the council tries to put over for the benefit of the pupils of the North Quincy High School we should help the council members. Helen M. Vandeleur. SCHOOL CITIZENSHIP The word citizenship most people erroneously apply only to conduct. A good school citizen must also be industrious, reliable, co-operative, courteous, and punctual. An industrious stu- dent does the work as it is assigned, following the very helpful slogan Never put off 'til tomorrow, what you can do today. A reli- able pupil has the work done when it is due. This is even more important in the higher grades when more home work is required. An active school citizen co-operates for the benefit of his fellow pupils because in a group there is strength. A courteous student must always remember that manners are the happy ways of doing things. In order to have a high standard in citizenship one must be punc- tual. This habit helps one succeed in business. social and civic affairs. NVhat a person is, depends as much upon his ideals and habits as upon his knowledge. Good' school citizenship is a solid foundation for later success. ' Marion Dillon, 10-7. H
