I hear some gentle voices piping through the air, Oh, goody I'm in this part, while others sob, 'O'h, dear, I'm left out. But never fear gentle reader we won't leave you out. Let us walk about the building and in our first semester lo! we find the band and orchestra, not forgetting the Glee Club, our faithful and everpresent musical groups. And peeking around that corner we see the candid camera fiends of the Photo- graphy Club, who, perhaps, are photo- graphing the talented stars of the Class Play. Of course, all those girls wandering around eouldn't be any- thing but the Girls' Club, busily en- gaged in getting ready for the Semi- formal Dance. But, ah, what's this sudden noise? No need to worry, just look at the happy faces-it's the joint meeting of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. At lunch we see various stu- dents hither and yon, wiping off table, Page 'I4 what else but the cafeteria squad? and other students gently but firmly repelling students who would drop papers on the ground-what else but the Grounds patrol? The solemn group of males and females who diligently ponder over problems of state, are the members of the Student Council. If we transport our minds by hard concentration to scenes beyond our school we see the happy, hard- hitting members of the Horseback Riding Club, and down by the Briny Deep, we find North's Sailing Club as they gallantly find a Life on the Ocean Wave. As we are about to leave the building, we suddenly re- alize our need for a good book and we are assisted in finding one by the cheerful members of the Library Staff and as we leave, we are politely escorted to the door by the members of the Traffic Squad always on the alert to help. YYe wish we might con- tinue our Wanderings but time flies and we must depart. FOOTBALL HE past season has heen a most sueeessful one for North's foot- hall team quite to the amazement of all. So successful was it, in fact, that the team won the South Shore Vham- pionship. This was no clouht a sur- prise even to the eoaeh, Mr. Donahue who preclietecl that the hoys woulfl he lucky to win half ol' their seherlulerl games. The attitufle of clouhtfulness with which the team was lookecl upon hy the stuflent hotly seemefl to he justi- fiahle at the outset of the season. There were only four veterans on the team anfl every other hoy was a new- eomer. XYhen linefl up against eertain of their opponents, it lookeal like eleven Davicls in reel ancl hlaek clefi- antly faeing eleven fioliaths. llow- ever, the team hail hrains, anfl were fast. They userl the taeties of a ear in preferenee to the methorls of a steam- roller. It took plenty of goorl harfl work on the praetiee fielfl to get the eo-orflina- L.. 05a l tion, teamwork, anrl skill which this year's Eleven showerl Voaehecl hy llr.

Sflllfll Sllflfl' Cllr! III px It was with a eozy sigh of satislae- tion that everyone at North greetefl ou1'team's vietory over Quiney in the annual lrienrlly little squahhle he- tween the two teams. With a seore ol' Page '15 6 to 0, it was truly thrilling the way North's thin red line held against the smashing thrusts of the Quincy boys who were out for a touchdown with blood in their eyes. XVhen the game was over, it was really delightful to see the facial expressions of the first ones to grasp the goal posts, only to find them freshly painted red and black. Yankee ingenuity soon over- came this, however, and down came the posts and began their journey back to the school. At the close of the season, the team retired with the well earned praises of all who are loyal to North ringing in their ears. CROSS COUNTRY CROSS COUNTRY has been for some years a top ranking sport here at North. Those familiar with the sport will realize it is one of the most gruelling of all athletic activi- ties. The mere thought of galloping around a course of nearly two and one-half miles is quite sufficient to turn most of the fellows from this sport with cries of- Ha! not for me. However, North is fortunate in always having a number of plucky lads who aspire to approximate the .. ,fn deeds of Pheidippides, the one man telegraph system of ancient Greece who ran thrice one hundred forty miles with news of great government importance. hir. Alexander is the sponsor of the group, having assumed the task of managing their activities, arranging for competitive meets and acting as the guiding light and morale bolsterer. The actual coaching is done by one of the more experienced boys, Charley Perkins. As mentioned before, this sport is really hard on the participators. Practice three our four times a week on courses up to two miles or so in length is a real grind, productive of barrel chests and wasp waists. The boys' attitude is good, they are out for the sport because they like it, and are willing to work hard for the sake of victory. The past season, the team partici- pated in seven meets, tasting the fruits of victory in three and-well, look at Napoleon. North's Cross Country team is a hard working unit, boasting its share of letter men, and holding its own Wherever it goes. It deserves our thanks and congratula- tions. Page 'I6 CHEER LEADERS EST before the football season every year, almost every afternoon for a week, North's gym rings with cheers. No, you're wrong. It's not peope cheering at a turtle race. It's Xorth's cheerleaders. These peppy girls and Cheaven forbid that we should forgetj boys, are the mainstay of athletic events. At exciting mo- ments one hardly knows whether they're on the ground or off it, the way they leap in the air and in the dull moments they keep the rest of us poor hoarse spectators on our feet cheering for Fight, fight, Team, fight. These cheery fooh, pun!j lads and lassies are under the direction of Blr. Harold Forrest. He, on some fine September afternoon, with in- finite patience, watches the young hopefuls go through back-breaking and skirt-splitting exercises in the gym and then with much relief selects the best and starts in on the next bit of fun-training them to be all that they are and hope to be. However, all kidding aside, this group does a GRAND piece of work, we'd be lost without them, and right now they're the ones who deserve the cheers. BOWLING THE days have long since past when bowlers wore their brass knuckles to the alleys, and bowling is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sports, enjoyed by all. Here at North there are some boys and a large number of girls who have formed a team under the sponsorship of hir. Sylvia. On three evenings during each week they practice diligently. The group is too large to be accomodated in less time. At the bowling alley they call into play all of their skill, each one hoping that some day he may reach that mythical three hundred, the highest score in the game. In April the team participates in a Bowling Tournament, where they will be given a real chance to show their wares. That will be the day for our experts, with their hook-balls and their strikes, and we hope they carry off due share of laurels. Page '17 BASKETBALL N'ORTH'S basketball team has had a fair season, winning nine games and losing eight. The team had one veteran player, and the remaining men were new. YVitl1 all the team graduating this year, there is some doubt as to what the next year's team will be like. promising record of six wins, but then defeat reared her ugly head and the next six games went with the wind. Basketball is a very fast game, de- pending a great deal on team work and eo-ordination. To win nine games from evenly matched opponents is a feat worthy of praise. Anyone who B112 lllullarkey coached the team as usual and its captain was Tom Under- Wood. Like the football team, the basketball team started off with the Page 18 l has tried to flipa basketball into a basket which seems to have the power to sidestep the ball while some excited lad tries to confuse the issue with rapidly flailing arms will appreciate the previous statement. In any ease tliev did their iob well, piling up as lngli as .12 pomts in one game: and so another basketball season. the last for many of ns at North. is but a memory.

You never know what you have till it's too late to make a change. l'nlike a football or basketball game. a shooting match docs not seem to draw spectators, which is probably just as well. There is little to sec, and THE RIFLE TEAM HIS year marks the first that our rifle team has won a place for it- self among the varsity sports. Mr. Beede has undertaken the task of managing the team. This is a job requiring patience and time. The boys started out with the idea of hav- ing a delightful time blasting away government ammunition at a small cost to themselves. The results were much the same as if we had manned a cannon with grapeshot instead of using a rifle. Once we had tasted the bitter pangs of inglorious defeat at the hands of the boys in blue and white, the team began to settle down to the task at hand. Soon the effects were notice- able. At one match, the North team burst forth with a seore which to say the least amazed all. linfortunately what goes up must come down, and so did the team, but that is what makes our nerves are generally pretty jumpy without the aid of an audience. It is none the less, a fine sport, and the team sincerely hopes to become a credit to North. ARCHERY SHOT an arrow into the air: it fell to earth I know not where. How very descriptive of the new eomers to North's archery club. In September Hr. C'lark is kept busy instructing llis new girls in the rudiments of archery. The air is thick with the errant arrows sprung from the bows of would-be archers, and if any arrows at all hit the target it is by accident. Later in October the club, driven by the cold, retires to the indoor gallery at the Quincy school. There, hid from the eyes of the world, a goodly amount of earnest effort is put towards improvement.

SWIMMING CLUB Ducks like water, fish can't live without it and there's another group of life that likes water almost as 111ucl1 as the fltlCkSmtll21t'S North's girls. Once 11 week tl1e members of the swimming Clllb jaunt gaily up to the Quincy Y. ll. C. A., for their Weekly plunge. They learn to dive, do many different strokes Ellltl most important of all to swim! If you should see a sweet young thing swimming at XYollaston Beach and trying to do the backhand stroke face down, Why you can tell at once she doesn't go to North. But! If you should see a very skillful swimmer go up to her and show her how to do the stroke the right way-XYhy, of course, the skill- ful girl is a member of North's Swim- ming Club.

The Glee Club did something dif- ferent for a production this year. It was a cantata Joan of Arc with feature singers as soloists. Blanche Haskell, Graton Howland, and VValter Kidder were these soloists. On the heels of this performance came the State and New England music festivals. Oh, how hard it was to get up and take a bus in the vicinity of 6:00. After such hard and long days the members agreed that it had been worth all the Work put into it. Because they were in class A they had plenty of competition, Having recovered from such fever- ish activity, said organization found that school was all over. How did the year go so fast? That is the question all the busy members of the Glee Club are asking. 1 1 Page Q1 l BAND AS LITTLE Johnny Appleseed, the newest little seventh grader at North, comes out of the school door one afternoon, he is confronted by an astounding spectacle. Naturally he stops to look, for this will be a new sight to write about in his shiny new diary. Row upon row of marching red and white uniforms confront him, each holding in its upraised arms an instrument. No, it's not tl1e Good Humor men ringing their bells-it's North's band rehearsing its marching and playing. Johnny gazes in awe and blissful thoughts fill his mind of the day when he too will be marching at football games, playing at basket- ball games, perhaps playing a solo at the excellent concert the Band gives every year, and even better yet-being a member of the band when, under Bliss Ruth Chrisman, its director, it wins its A rating at the State and New England Music Festivals. A sudden rush and tumble awakes Johnny from his dream and informs him that rehearsal is over. Picking up his nice, easy-reading books, Johnny Comes Blarching Home Again and greets his mother with, lla, kin I play a instrument in the Page QQ band? even after all his English lessons. To all you other Johnny Appleseeds, practise hard and some day you will be proud to say that you are a member of the North Quincy High School Band. ORCHESTRA 'ITHIYRSDAY night is orchestra night at North. In -L02 under the direction of Bliss Ruth Christman, the orchestra spends long hours evolv- ing the tuneful pieces which we less talented scholars hear at assemblies and other gatherings. There are certain times in the year, however, when the regular Thursday night practice periods expand. The orchestra, moved by a natural love of music and an unnatural love of work, may be heard any day in the week perfecting pieces for the State and New England Blusic Festivals. The time seems not to have been spent in vain for North has always received a high rating at these festivals. Hlany hours are also spent with the Glee Club in producing North's an- nual musical presentation. This year the production was in the form of a cantata Joan of Arc, a new under- taking for North, and one well re- ceived. DRUM MAJ ORS REMEMBER those smart looking girls in front of the Band at foot- ball games doing the most amazing things with their batons? Remember! who could forget those snappy girls? The competition for the coveted posi- tions was keen-twelve girls for five vacancies. Perhaps you don't realize that the drum majors do more than appear at football games. They went to the festivals and gave a novelty number in the Band concert. In order to perpetuate this corps of drum majors, a class was started at school With 30 members. The future looks very bright for the peppy group of girls who lend such color to the band. Page Q3 STRING ENSEM BLE LESTIOX: YYhat music organiza- tion has played for many school and outside activities including both junior and senior high schools? Ans- wer: The string ensemble. Leave several stringed instruments including violins, violas, and 'cellos with some of us and you might wonder what animals have been let out of the zoo. But take those same instruments and put them into the hands of eleven junior girls and put Bliss Beesly at the head and you have harmony pleasing to the ear. A detailed list of the times this ensemble has played would include Senior Class Play, Christmas program, Girls' Club Christmas as- sembly and other junior and senior high assemblies. Outside of school they have played for the Chamber of Commerce, Parent-Teachers' Associa- tions, and Bethany Congregational Church. Those of us who cannot play music can at least appreciate it when played by this group. GIRLS' CLUB ELYERY senior girl maybe a member of the Girls' Club at Xorth. This is a sort of a tradition. Each year an observer new to the school might well Page Q4 think he had wandered into a lunatic asylum by mistake as he sees girls in every conceivable queer looking out- fit and usually carrying dolls, wan- dering about the building. This, fortunately, occurs only on one day a year and is the day on which the eleventh grade girls are initiated as members. The Girls, Club donates its services in preparing Christmas and Thanksgiving Baskets which are given to the poor at these two holidays. The girls also hold roller-skating parties at which most of the members skate sitting down. Xo, itls not a new method which they have originated, but merely the result of the wheels on the skates being so slippery, Cat least that's their excusej. The semi-formal dance held every year is the high-light of the year and more than one lan- guishing female girds on her armor Tickets, please! and the hand in the velvet glove be- comes the fist in the iron mitten as each girl hunts through corridor and underbrush for any shy male who may be uninvited to the dance. Then, too, Bliss Crockett, the Girls' Club adviser, runs a Date Bureau. If her room is crowded after school it's not because the girls are forced to do home-work during school hours. They're just girls looking for the name of a boy who might help them in a little after school work. CExtra cur- ricular, eh boys?j The Girls' Club is one of the largest organizations at North and the grand bunch of girls that belong to it do a grand piece of work every year and deserve a large vote of appreciation. LIBRARY STAFF EET you in the library alter school. ' e-'Got to look up some- thing about Democracy. These and other remarks are heard constantly in and about the corridors of North. How lucky we are to be able to talk about our library and to have the use of it. However, we must not only think of the library asa pleasant room filled with books and magazines but also think of those who help to keep it such a pleasing and beneficial place. iff 0 I , H92 +1-'+ f'9.f 3 5 2 The library staff consisting of members from grades 9 through 112 assists Miss Sherman in keeping the library an efficient and helpful unit. Each group has its own special duty which is either keeping the shelves in order, working during study periods, making out permit slips, or checking books in or out The staff also takes care of the bulletin board, new books, and magazines, and when we read them we scarcely think of' the planning which is necessary to give us interest- ing material all the time. Besides their regular duties many members of the staff work on a series of contracts and others keep notebooks containing interesting and educational clippings from newspapers. These projects teach them more about the library and how to be better members ol' the staff. Then there are the social aspects of the library staff. Each year the staff visits some other school library and entertains that staff in return. In this way many new ideas are ex- changed. There is always the annual f'hristnias party held in the library and this year the staff is planning to have a Mothers' Tea. ln the spring there is an outdoor pienic and food is cooked over an open fire. Page Q5 TRI-HI-Y Perhaps some Thursday evening you've had a chance to go by the Quincy Y. BI. C. A. If you have, you'll certainly have noticed the sparkling array of pretty girls on their way inside. No-there you're wrong. There aren't any beauty con- tests being held and it's not a con- vention of the prettiest girls in the state-it's the members of the Tri-Hi- Y. This is an all-girl organization under the direction of Nfr. James Hardy and Bliss Ruth Stevens. The girls hold meetings twice a month and conduct their meetings so well that you might think you were in a well ordered session of Congress Cex- cept, of course, no one's asleepb. The members take field trips to other cities and have a yearly banquet with the Hi-Y. On the whole, North thinks they're a grand bunch of girls and that they do a grand job.

The t'lass of 194-0 presented The Goose Hangs High. Every afternoon from the time re- hearsals start until they end, the auditorium may be heard resounding with directions, cues, dramatically proclaimed speeches and repeats of the same in a less dramatic tone. After rehearsals, the bloody but un- bowed actors and actresses wend their way homeward determined tand 'ar-ggf t' 'H t 2 I rightly sol that their play will be the best to date. This year's cast did an excellent piece of work and had a great time doing it. They attended other school plays in a body as well as being given the privilege of going in a group to see Bliss Helen Hayes in one of her stage plays. The cast every year does a grand job and for next year's castqa formula for success: Hard work plus enjoyment plus J. Hofferty equals a swell play! YOUTH CONCERTS lDN'T you like that haunting melody in the second move- ment? Yes, but I preferred the snappy third movement. No, it's not a conversation between critics, but two music-minded North students who have just attended one of the six symphony concerts in Boston. lf you prefer Benny Goodman and his swing band to a Mendelssohn concerto, we wouldn't recommend these concerts. lint if you have always wanted to hear purely for enjoyment some of the great composers' works with interest- ing conunents, these concerts are just what you are looking for. Nlr. lieckctl. the conductor. knows how to interpret music from youth's point of view.

TRAFFIC SQUAD A VISITOR to North might at first Wonder about the stolid, stalwart figures spaced along the corri- dors during passing periods. But they are well known to North High stu- dents as the traffic squad, that gifted group which can so readily change its jovial Hi, there!,' to a sterner No down traffic on this stairway! The traffic squad is one of the most outstanding organizations at North. The members are selected for char- acter and scholarship. Their aim is service to the school. Each floor has its captain and also a faculty super- visor. The whole squad is under the supervision of a head captain and our assistant principal, llr. 1XIacDonald.

Page Q9 CAFETERIA SQUAD HE Cafeteria squad, under the guidance of Nlr. Wlarriner, as- sumes as its responsibility the task of keeping the sehool Cafeteria neat and tidy. Butt it is more than just a clean up squad. The cafeteria squad tries to instill in the pupils' minds ideals of neatness and courtesy. In this way, not only is the Cafeteria automatically kept neater, but also the pupils benefit from this bit of extra curricular education. Wlith so many pupils to supervise, one Can readily see that the qualifica- tions for membership on the Cafeteria squad are numerous. An eagle eye is a prime requisite for ferreting out hid- den milk stoppers. A supple body is useful in picking up abandoned silver- ware from the floor. A strong will power is necessary to withstand the pleas of If you let me take it out, l'll promise to eat the whole of it, eore and all. Never the less, not withstanding the difficulties, the eate- teria squad has done a fine job in keeping our eating plaee presentable. Page 30 STUDENT COUNCIL HE Student Council is one of the finest examples of our principals theory of student participation in school management. The Council has kept busy as bees at such work as planning assemblies, discussing and solving school problems, conducting necessary class votes, and preparing the list of trafiie officers for the com- ing year. In addition to its regular duties, this ycar's Student Council has taken on the extra work of revis- ing North's handbooks. You remem- ber those compact red and black book- iuxfr , Ulu ur' .-I lets without which you wouldn't even wonder what was in the trophy case directly at the head of the main stair- way. Going on the assumption that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, the Student Council held a suc- cessful sport dance in January. Some of its members also attended the con- vention of Student Councils this year when school problems in general were discussed. uve were proud that the Council could report that North com- pared very favorably with other schools around us. GROUNDS PATROL Perhaps it would afford one a few moments of savage amusement if he were to muse upon what might happen if there were no Grounds Patrol here at our school. In the winter months all persons passing by, from the gen- tecl to truck drivers, would have to be on guard against soppy snowballs. thrown their way by accident of course. In the Spring our young Lochinvars would have the lawn as full of ruts as the Oregon Trail from galloping gleefully across it. .Xnd the grounds in general would look like Coney Island after a busy day. Page 31 Fortunately Mr.Sylvia's Grounds Patrol is continually on the job, keeping lunch papers inside the build- ing and keeping those with the wanderlust inside the boundaries, etc. lYhen a member of the Patrol sweetly requests that one move his baggage off the lawn, it is good politics to comply peacefully, else the school day suddenly become an hour longer than usual for the offender. It is Grounds Patrol, on duty at each lunch period, which prevents our otherwise quite sedate student body from turning the school grounds into a wild west rodeo, complete with hoof marks, pop-bottles, and ice cream sticks. ASSEMBLIES in the twelfth grade were all too often unwelcome. All announcements of the retraction of our precious study periods were met with groans and sighs of dispair. A speaker's worth was judged, rather by his ability to make us forget Ino- mentarily our unfinished homework, than by his oratorical powers. And any assembly that called us from our classes, or occasioned a class discus- sion afterwards, was, in our estima- tion, a worthy project. Page 32 In all fairness, however, we must admit that a number of programs were entirely enjoyable. At Hal- loween jollity and merriment were provided by the model party held on the stage in the auditorium. Another of the more lively programs was Dr. llajor's talk on Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We were particularly fascinated by his epi- grammatical l.71S6'I'Zl1.0IlS, such as Life is one fool thing after another: love is two fool things after each other. Not of the more enjoyable assemblies all were of a humorous turn. The melodic programs given by the Glee Club at Christmas and Thanksgiving found their audiences very responsive. HI-Y CLUB IF a sweet, charming young Bliss should wish to join the Hi-Y Club would she be accepted? Alas, no, for lo! it is an all boy organization. The boys hold two meetings a month in the Y.1I.C.A., at which meetings they have a speaker and entertain- ment. For a bit of pep, they some- times even knock down a few de- fenseless pins with cannon balls, fa new sport called bowlingj. The most looked for meeting for am I wrongl of the year is the joint meeting with the Tri-Hi-Y, the girls' group. Here the boys are friendly hosts or guests as the case may hc. At Christmas a11d Thanksgiving. the boys, like little lied Riding Hood, pack baskets of goodies and carry them to a poor grannie to make her day happy. Be- cause of these boys and their baskets, the wolf never even gets to first base with grannie's door. The club is under the direction of Mr. James Hardy, who does an excellent job of directing the boys. To all you scoff- ing gentlemen whom I hear snickering at this group, could it he that you are jealous? You might well he, for it is one of the finest organizations at North.

Wait until they begin to teach they'll feel pity for all the troubleg they've caused Page 36 their teachers. The buxom belles who are waltzing down the corridor are the sweet members of alumni who put on the Varsity Follies. Never let it be said, however, that we failed to see the humble members of the Yearbook Staff. Here they come down the cor- ridor, each piled high with papers and pencils.

Every spring balls, bats, and mitts make their appearance and every sand lot is stuffed with boys who practise so diligently that one feels certain they must be on the payroll of a great ball club. Varsity baseball is an important spring activity in the majority of high schools including our own. High school baseball games are not dis- jointed affairs, but are played strictly according to the rules, just as is varsity football, and need our support. Bir. Forest is the sponsor of the baseball team. There has been a fair turnout for the team among the boys in the senior high grades. Wihether the complete material is present for a well balanced and efficient team re- mains to be seen. Mr. Forest has remarked that there will be nine men in there playing all the time anyhow and predicts a glorious -ah-er good season. Who knows, perhaps nine new diamond stars lie hidden in the line-up and will shine forth when burnished by a few weeks practise. A successful season will mean that jg A I., , A 4 ..4'... ......s- .- , ..,.. - ,. - - oj plenty of good hard work has been done to develop the necessary team work and skill. One can't practise baseball and still have time to lounge in the warm spring sun, so congratula- tions are due North's baseball team for its devotion to the dear old red and black. TRACK THE glories of Spring arrive each year around April according to some schedule devised in past times, as you have no doubt already noticed: and along with them the track season here at North. So many of the lads are bravely giving up going out nights, and eating their Wheaties regularly, and otherwise getting in trim for the coming events in this field. From the days of the Romans, physical prowess and skill has been taxed in competitive meets for the enjoyment of the spectators. Of course, instead of slugging each other with spiked gloves or dodging lions as the boys did in the good old days, our fellows limit them- selves to running, jumping, weight tossing, and other more dignified activities. Anyhow it still makes a good show. llr. Patterson, the sponsor of this season's track team at our school, has Page 37 I 1 I ' i .1 s . - AAA, .L three managers coaching his team, and holds high hopes for a successful season, especially if a certain few seniors should show themselves before it's too late. To say the least, they deserve a good season in return for the blisters and stiff muscles which, me- thinks, they are going to pick up dur- ing the time track remains in the sport limelight. GOLF MR. DONAHUES golf teams, of which there will be two, are now facing a season which they suspect Will be a comfortingly successful one. Be that as it may, the boys are looking forward eagerly to playing, now the the grass is greening and the air is becoming balmy again. They are out to beat the business man at his favorite game, tramping after a pesky little ball which refuses absolutely to go where the novice wishes to drive it. Those who have tried the game and have stomped home with an odd gleam in their eyes, leaving their clubs with some astonished little urchin, will appreciate the fact that these boys have actually developed skill in play- ing golf. Page 38 During the April vacation the try- outs for membership in the two tcams will take place at Brockton, and all the aspirants will be given a chance to prove their worths. During the sea- son we hope their every drive will go obcdicntly where it is expected to, and every put will meander unerringly up to the cup and topple gently in. The tennis team is to appear also with the return of the birds from the south and it faces a season of stiff competition. Its the job of hlr. Foy to head the team and keep their noses to the grindstone, so to speak. hlr. Donahue is sponsor of the golf team from North. Soon these boys will be out on the green looking for TENNIS TENNIS is one of the :fastest of games and to become an expert at playing it one has to practically eat, sleep, and live tennis. To be sure the ordinary routine of school life lessens greatly the amount of time that can be devoted by our players to tennis, but the varsity team will no doubt spend all its free time playing for practice. Since tennis is not some- thing one can learn on the spur of the moment, the team is made up of old hands at the game. Mr. Foy is the sponsor of tennis at North. The team faces a season crowded with excellent competition from its many rivals, and this means a lot in bolstering spirit and morale. A good season is predicted and the team is confident that it can fultill its own prediction. new worlds to conquer with 'a little white ball and an array of clubs Wonderous to behold. Winter sports have come and gone. Now Spring rears her comely head and a new crop bursts forth. So-let us relax and see what happens while the crop is in bloom. SAILING THE sailing club is made up of a group of sail boat enthusiasts, some actual saltwater sailors, others strictly text-book mariners. Mr. Le Cain of Quincy High School is plan- ning to launch the boat used by the club soon, and then there will be Page 39 afternoons on the bay with the wind and spray and that sort of thing in abundance. The club has spent the winter months under the instruction of Mr. Le Cain discovering the whys and wherefores of sailing a11d navigation. Now that they have learned in theory how to come about and what hap- pens when one jibes and so on, and can find their way on the rolling seas where street corner signs are woefully sparse, they are to be given a taste of the real thing. For some it will be their first sail, for others it will be a Page 40 chance to regain their sea legs after ten months or so of shore leave. Gentlemen sailors such as these are usually determined someday to voy- age to the south seas in a trim white yacht, and glory in planning such a trip down to the last detail. Till that happy day arrives, however, a cruise along the Cape, guided by faith, hope, and a Socony map is a great thing. So-spring's here, the winds are warming and the sea again beckons, and another batch of well versed tars are about to cast OH for their favorite sport YEARBOOK STAFF H.XY'E you collected all the baby pictures?

Those elected to it are the mortals who, by virtue of having reached the upper- third of the class and being good all- around students, are duly elected and appointed to this high society. Any day, as you walk through the cor- ridors of North, you will see small gold pins on the coats or dresses of the proud owners. -These are the elected. lNIr. lNTacDonald has charge of the Honor Society, which, in- cidentally, is a nation-wide organiza- tion. Each year the Honor Society holds an impressive initiation cere- mony, which leaves the non-members green with envy and vowing that they'll study hard enough to get elected next Lyear, and leaving the new members with a feeling of pride and a slight bit of air beneath their feet. THE VARSITY FOLLIES EVERY year, the more daring male members of North and its Alumni put their dainty size IQMD feet into silver slippers, put on a few grass skirts Page 42 and waltz onto North's stage for the annual presentation of the K'Varsity Follies. This masterpiece of musical comedy production is coached and supervised by Hlr. Joseph Foy. The boys present fashion shows, plays, hula-hula dances, a bit of the comic and other acts which keep the people in North's auditorium cracking their ribs as they nudge each other in glee. These males in girl's clothing do a grand job every year and, who knows, one of these days we may see them all among Radio City's Rockettes. For all the future male members of the alumni, a word of warning, save all the straw you can find and sew your- selves a grass skirt and when the time for try-outs comes, do your stuff! A wful culef C.D. QTEACHERS OF AMERICAD THIS year North extends a wel- come to a new and rather mys- terious club. For the first time in the history of the school there has been organized a club whose name remains unpublished and whose activities are as yet unknown to the majority of the scholars. Be it known, however, that the club is primarily interested in teaching and education. It is open to everyone of qualified scholarship and character who entertains a similar interest. C. D. is a small branch of the Na- tional Organization of Future Teach- ers of America. The group is spon- sored by Miss lNIable Pratt. There are a great many ways in which a teacher club might be of service to the school. Despite the over abundance of doubt- ing Thomases, C. D. plans to be one of the most active groups at North.

'35 You would have to take the average Senior of today, for instance, reduce him to about one half his height, put him back into knicker- bockers, pull his ears forward a little bit, and put that isn't everything wonderful look in his eyes to have a picture of a seventh grader way back in '35. That was the year that we certainly weren't much of a class. There was a small group here, another one thereg in fact, we were shoved anywhere that there was an inch of space, and how envious those outside were of the favored few who were fortunate enough to have all classes at North. At that time, to those on the outside looking longingly in, it was a great thrill Cand somewhat of a bother too, for remember how much earlier you had to get upl to be included with those, who were established at North, in having to attend an assembly. Of course, most of us had to be satisfied with weekly glimpses of life in the great school. This was advan- tageous in a way because it gave us an opportunity to snub properly the grade school pupils who were quite innocent of the value of French seams and exact measurements, and who had never been privileged to swing on the ropes in the big gym. However, We were successfully Cor otherwisej led by remote control, as it were. through the paces of seventh grade. Une September morning found us waiting ready tor our actual initia- tion into the mysteries of North. 'IHS Judging from the remarks ol' NYould you believe they were old enough? and Look out, don't step on the infants, somebody besides our- selves was eonseious of the new arrivals. But we were so busy learning each traflie oftic-er's fancy. and devis- ing ways to tell room numbers when the doors were pinned back that we didnt have time to take these thrusts to heart. Eighth grade was the year that slam hooks were popular. One scarcely dared open a folded paper lest he find scribbled thereon an estimate Ca rather low estimatej of his own char- acter. That year we deluged our teachers with questionable tidbits from the home economics lab, and our parents with slightly bent cookie cutters.

That was the year, too, that we got our first real taste of social life at its gayest. Remember the excitement felt for days before the long-awaited Junior Carnival and then the wonder- ful two days when all our expectations were gratiied as we cheered the bas- ketball stars CPD of the future on to victory or watched Betty Boop in one of her hairbreath escapes. Then how can we ever forget the night of the dance, when everyone of any import- ance showed up and not knowing how to dance, promptly sat down on the bleachers and talked over the astounding fact that Johnny had walked home with lllary yesterday. Those were the days when we used proudly to carry home books because we felt they made us look important and then after depositing them in an obscure place where we'd be sure to forget them the next morning we'd promptly proceed to forget all about them-oh, if we could only have looked ahead! But our stay in the 8th grade was but a brief one, for there were far greener pastures waiting for us ahead. '37 Nineth grade saw a noticeable increase in the number of long trous- ers. The last of the long curls and braids had disappeared by this time. We were growing up! Indeed we really thought we'd reached our high- est peak and could do just about what we wanted to-if we could only have heard what the Seniors thought! -but truly that was a pretty big year, for didn't we elect our class oflicers and really organize ourselves? Later, after we'd been dutifully in- structed in proper ballroom etiquette and had spent Weary afternoons try- ing to make our feet keep time to the music Cand also keep out of the way of those of our partnerj we were really initiated into the secrets of running a dance. As a sort of preliminary trial before the all important prom in June we bent our efforts to a Sport Dance in April and in spite of the elements Qwhich certainly did threaten to drown anyone daring to leave the shelter of his ll0Ill6D the evening was a great success. However, that year wasn't all social merriment, for in the 8th grade we'd chosen our courses and now we were introduced to their respective sub- jects. Remember the nights some of us spent trying to attach firmly in our minds what seemed like impossible Latin vocabularies and horribly in- tricate Algebra formulas such as RTSD Cor is it RD:T?j But nothing lasts forever, and graduation morning brought with it its rows of doting parents proudly sur- veying their Sallys and Jimmys un- comfortable in their Sunday best. Then of course at night there was the Prom and then our career in Junior High was over, and we were really ready to take out place in Senior High. '38 Every good play has a turning point, and the tenth grade was the turning point in the drama of our class. This year brought a reduction in the number of our subjects, a situation which was immediately rem- edied by the intensity with which we applied ourselves to the remaining few. Gone were the days when half the class got on the high honor roll. Resigning ourselves to the fate to which we had so unthinkingly com- mitted ourselves, we struggled for- ward. There were some of us who made valiant efforts to master the intricacies of shorthand and the mimeograph. We soon found that we were expert at adjusting errors, if at nothing else. For quite a long while there was serious talk among the Type students of rewriting the dictionary so as to allow for variations Cand incidentally more lenient marksj when that strange black mechanism got its own ideas on how a word should be spelled or a sentence written. Others of us kept a nightly vigil through innumerable Gallic cam- paigns, and decided that Caesar had been much too fortunate in living through as many battles as he did, and if he only had spent his time learning rules of grammar instead of relating long and boring accounts of himself, many of us would have been much happier. Faithfully, we saw Lorna Doone through the most harrowing incidents and then turned her in for Quentin Durward. And, oh, the thrill of being able to add that little touch of sophistication by adding a few foreign phrases here and there in our conversation! But still that wasn't all-as a sort of climax those who had chosen to take Geometry dis- covered that this was a course not only in llath, but also in ancient history and drawing with English and penmanship thrown in. But we did feel pretty good when we were able to attend the Senior High activities although it was only a very small number of fortunates who were ever chosen to participate in any of these, despite the fact that we did our darndest to be included among the ranks of our worshipped heros and heroines. '39 Eleventh grade found us away down in the depths of the chasm be- tween beginning and end. We were merely Juniors, and it was our job to become intelligent enough to be worthy of thetitle Senior. So we stuffed our heads with assorted i11- formation on the elements of the earth, Cataline and his band of renegades, the binominal theorem, and Aristotle's deinition of a tragedy -such was the price of taking five majors. It didn't take us long to realize that if we did ever complete Page 47 the five of them, in one night every- one was astounded Cincluding the teachersb. Then, remember that blessed period after the hurricane when the city was in darkness, and we thought we had a perfect alibi fit didn't work for long thoughl. Also during that time remember how some of us felt rather like Abe Lincoln as we struggled over French verbs by candle-light late into the night. That was the year our Thanks- giving dinner didn't taste so good be- cause Quincy finally came out the victors over our team in the first game played in the new stadium. However, remember how we felt somewhat com- pensated when North was picked to play in Tech Tourney? That was a great game Cespecially when we got out of our last period class to go in to see ith. In the spring remember the election of our Senior Class ofhcers after a busy week of campaign speeches and vote- seeking. Remember the Record Hop, our first class dance, the music was fast, and the jitterbugs prevailed in spite of the disdainful glances from the more conservative element of the class. Remember how you counted the days until vacation that year? how you longed to visit a relation in China after every report card? and how the only thing that held you in school Cbesides your parents, teachers, and the truant oflicerl was the fact that in no time at all Cwith a little good fort- tunej you would really be in the all- important last year of High School? '40 Seniors. YVe wasted no time in assuming the liberties and licenses of true Seniors. All the things we'd wanted to change for so many years we found were as solid and immovable Page 48 as Brooklyn Bridge, but that didn't disillusion us, we were too important to be overcome by trifles. Do you remember how glad you be- gan to be that you had suffered through five majors in the llth grade, for now, what place did actual school work have in a year that must, if it was to be of any real value to us, be crammed full of every imaginable social event and extra-curricular ac- tivity? Remember the two red letter days when that Valentine blizard ac- tually closed Senior High along with the lower grades? Who can remember ever seeing an oddity such as that be- fore in our lifetime? Remember too, how all that next vacation week in spite of the snow you could see any number of Seniors at the class photo- grapher's trying to squeeze in before the deadline-which we hadn't been warned of any more than four months before, and who can have pictures taken in that amount of time?- Remember how proud we felt to beat Quincy in our last year and re- trieve the trophies and honors which had reverted to our rivals one short year ago? Then will you ever forget the last month of school when after weeks spent discussing and arguing over graduation clothes, prom invitations, and class day activities, the great events one by one arrived? And last of all came Commencement Day when you began to realize that in spite of its rules and regulations, trials and tribu- lations, NQHS wasn't such a bad place after all.

Who made him dead to dances and to shows, A thing that smiles not and that never laughs, lVorried and bored, a slave to all his books? lvho assigned and required this shape to cram? lVhose was the hand that threatened it with D ? lYhose hand dealt out the weight of all these books? Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave To have complete control of lllath and French, To date the girls and spend all sorts of dough, To feel the gayety of Youthfulness? Is this the dream they dream who teach the kids And mark their grades upon the fatal card? Down all the halls of North to its last room There is no boy nor girl more stale than this- lXIore tired of study in a boring course hlore filled with verbs and endings for a test- hlore packed with knowledge for the future's work. VVhat gulfs between him and the foot- ball field! U Page 86 Slave of the whims of teachers, what to him Are stomping and the Goucho Seranade? What good the swell tunes of the Hit Parade, The comic sheet, the sporting gaudy clothes? Through these dimmed eyes four burdening courses look, Trig's formulas are in that aching head, Through this tired shape perplexity portrayed, Scolded, detained, and laden with homework, Vries protest to all teachers of the school, A protest that is always overlooked. O Smoyers, Jacks, and Leavitts in all rooms, Is this the youthful thing you mold for life. This weary, worried bit of mortal clay? How will you ever bolster up this drip, Touch it again with pep an' energy, Give back the carefree living and the smile, Renew in it the Spring and gayety, Fulfill the expectations of its folks In spite of C-grade work and ill-timed pranks? O lXIacDonalds, Vifebstersmiths in all classrooms, How will the future reckon with this boy? VVi1l he be ready for that time to come VVhen tribulations Wreck the best-laid plans? How will it be with teachers and with guides- Wlith you who try to teach him Math and French- When this young man must, rise to lead the world, .Xml strive to prove his destiny and J yoursf SNOW AND LIFE Some see only icy blasts From which they cringe Or shudder, shake. and shiver And turn a bluer tinge. No beauty theirs, from shining light Off crystal ice: No smooth. encrusted spears Their wond'ring gaze entice. They never strode along, alone Through snowy arch Nor saw the brilliant path Where God's white legions march. The snow o'er pit and crag and mire Covers all. The soil's cruel scar Rests in an ermine shawl. Klan labors long, both night and day To build a town. It'd take an army months To crush, to knock it down. Yet over all this city strong The white snow falls. Now, man, where is your city? XYhere are your toW'ring walls? The paintings of the greatest men Beyond compare Are so much splattered canvas With anything so fair As winter's day in all its dress Of startling white While frigid winds are blowing, XYhile frosty ice gleams bright. -Frank Flynn EAST MEETS EAST Betty LeClair Finished cleaning my shoes, Marie? A4 ' X es, Madam. Then you may polish my brace- let. Marie caught the beautiful, spark- ling piece of jewelry which the other woman tossed carelessly into her lap. The public, you know, demands glitter in their stars. So we give them glitter, the poor fools! Lola Lahlay, hailed from coast to coast as the sweetheart of the silver screen, ground a cigarette butt savagely under a smartly shod foot, and rose grace- fully to her full five feet six inches of blond loveliness. I'm going out on the observation platform for a breath of air. Two days in this Caboose are enough to drive one mad. Left to herself, lfarie settled down to enjoy the luxury of the private compartment of the Pacific Flier. She tossed her apron into the seat opposite, thankful to be free, if only for a moment, of that badge of servility she so detested. She slipped the diamond bracelet on her own smooth, round arm, and regarded it intently and critically. Certainly it looked no less beautiful against the warm olive of her skin than it had on the cold alabaster white arm of Lola Lahfay. Wlith an air she had often observed in her mistress, hlarie tucked a stray curl into place on her sleek, black head. Blah public, she mimicked, de- mands glittah, so-o-o we give them glittah, doncher know! Then, drop- ping all pretense Marie sat, chin cupped in hand, staring out into the blur of sage and desert as the train sped by. What's she got that I haven't, I'd like to know? Not looks, surely. Nlarie had plenty of those herself. Different perhaps from the staturesque beauty of the screen idol, a more vital, rather Latin type of beauty, but none the less captiva- ting for that. She shrugged her shoulders, a gesture typical of the girl. 0l1,well,it's the breaks, I guess. Page 87 Suddenly, lNIarie was startled out of her reverie by the jolting halt of the train. Opening the window with some difficulty, she looked out. Up at the head of the delayed limited a panting locomotive drank thirstily in thousand gallon gulps. Miniature men struggled with the water spout, while beside the track a sweating conductor, watch in hand, counted the seconds. Engine and watertower danced and quivered in the blistering heat. Under the blazing sun a little station formed a squat silhouette against the limitless ex- panse of the desert. A saddled, spotted cow-pony stood motionless, head low, beside the platform. A large young man, with blue eyes in- tently fixed on Marie's face, stood beneath the train window. Marie, with a confidence born of her own luxurious surroundings leaned her pretty head slightly from the open window and spoke to this interesting stranger from a different world-a harder world. A IHHIIVS world. Are you a real cowboy? I reckon, the man replied la- conically. The question was super- fluous. From high crowned hat to high-heeled boots the tall one's garb proclaimed his calling. Gaudy scarf and leather chaps fairly shouted cowpuncher. It's so refreshing, llarie drawled the words in the same tone she had so often heard fall from the lips of Lola Lahlay when the latter thought it worth the effort to impress some- one, so-o-o refreshing to meet some- one real. At the studio all is so false -so artificial, don't you know. I reckon. Gloved thumbs hooked into a full cartridge belt, fancy boots planted a wider angle, spurs jingled. Suddenly a flash of interest widened the insolent eyes under the shadow of the somberero. Say! he blurted, You-are you a-movie actress? , Page 88 1'm on my way back to Holly- wood. Boredom was evident in her tone. She smothered a yawn, politely, elegantly. Desert sun struck fire and lightning from the magnificent dia- mond bracelet that followed the languourous movement. My con- tract, you know,-my public-. Marie's words were lost in a clash of iron on iron and hiss of released air as the train, its thirst quenched, re- sumed its interrupted flight to the Pacific. Mariel called Lola Lahlay from within the dim coolness of the draw- ing room, her voice, complaining, in- sistent. Hhlaric, close the window, please. The cinders, you know. Haven't you finished cleaning my bracelet yet? Hurry, please! It's nearly time for me to dress, and you haven't done my hair yet. The words fell unheeded on lIarie's ears. lVith dreamy eyes she stared into the cactus dotted wasteland- 'A real cowboy! she murmured. Absently she slipped the bracelet from her arm, reached for her little white apron. Back on the station platform the Man of the West stood motionless, watching the train dissolve in the shimmering emptiness .... Gee! he muttered, A movie star! He strolled from the platform, un- tied his horse, and managed an awkward mount. Slowly he rode out to the dude ranch where he was boarding. THE LADY IN BLUE Anna Williams lNIyra Thrush lay on her bed, her eyes closed. Her slim, agile figure was wrapped in an ill-fitting, blue cotton dress, and stockings of a coarse material. Placed near the bed were shoes, scufiled, and evidently built for hard wear. Her hair, which fell in soft, loose waves about her shoulders, was light brown with glints of gold. ller face was paleg her eyes dreamy and pensive. ller smile faded as she gazed upon the barren walls of her room. NYhat a fool I am! she exclaimed aloud. Here I am thinking about how lucky 1 am to be promoted when the main office hasn't sent me word. Even if Miss lYelles knows what she is talking about, I shouldn't count so much on gossip. If it ever fell through now after the way I've congratulated myself, 1'll just-Z Myra suddenly rose from her medi- tation, realizing that there was work to be done. She methodically washed her stockings and flopped lazily into bed to resume her interrupted dream- ing. As she snuggled down under the scanty covers, she thought pleasantly of her husband, John Thrush, in Philadelphia. It helped a great deal to know that he still wanted her to come home to him. Until she was successful, llyra reminded herself, she could not. If this promotion came through, well-. lNIyra gave way to blessed sleep. The next morning, punctual as ever, llyra was busy at her machine, working noisily, occasionally exchang- ing a remark with the girl at the next machine. She glanced up as Miss O'Neil's prim figure came toward her. Miss O'Neil was her immediate su- perior and possessed a curt voice which was in perfect accord with her icy expression. Bliss Thrush, report to lVIr. lVIil- ler's office immediately. llliss VVilson will continue your work, she rasped. lVow! thought ltlyra. ltlr. lVIiller was No Q man and there were but two reasons for being sent to him. And she hadn't, llyra convinced her- self, disobeyed any of the numerous rules of the organization. Her ad- vancement must be going through better than she had dared to antici- pate. Myra knew the system that the employees of the organization were under. The more diligent, trust- worthy, and dependable you were, the faster you gained a better posi- tion. Myra remembered the work she had done when she first entered the organization. She had disliked it, but in order to be advanced, she had done her best. Now after five promo- tions in a little over a year, it might be that she would receive some special reward. lllr. Miller had a very special way of rewarding these exceptional workers. None of the other organizations similar to this one employed it, yet Mr. ltlillcr was convinced it was best for both the organization and the worker, and he had gone to great labor and trouble to establish this plan. lllyra appeared ignorant of the admiring glances of the other workers and marched sedately into the cor- ridor. As she entered ltlr. lNIiller's office, she repeated over and over to herself, I mustn't count too much on it, I mustn'tg I mustn't. Miss Fulton, lVIr. Miller's secre- tary, motioned her to be seated. lNIr. lttliller is busy at present, but will see you shortly, lVIiss Thrush. Please be seated, she said in a monotone. As she walked toward the desig- nated seat, ltfyra glanced fearfully in the glass of an imposing bookcase to regain her confidence that her hair was as neat as pins and combing could make it, and that her blue frock was unrumpled. While ar- ranging herself in the chair, lNIyra recalled how she had worked for this promotion. She remembered her marriage to John Thrush which ended a misguided past and made life again worth living. How foolish she had been to think she could es- cape her just reward. Yes, she had left John. Blyra knew that until she had succeeded, she could never re- turn to him. From the time she had entered lNIr lYliller's organization, she had borne in mind the resolution Page 89 to succeed through hard work and earnest etfort. She had tried, hfyra admitted. ltr. Miller had recognized her merit, so had lwiss VVelles when she recommended lNIyra for promo- tion. - lXIyra stopped day-dreaming and scanned the office. This was but the second time she had been in it. My, but it was small, and drab. The high walls were slate gray, the floors and woodwork somber walnut. Its one redeeming feature was the huge mahogany bookcase she had S6011 before. It was at least seven feet high-seven feet of polished wood and glittering glass behind which reposed volumes of books, thick and unused, as was proved by the thin film of dust, barely perceptible to the eye. lVIost of them were legal booksg on some it was impossible to make out the title. From the window she could see the constant stream of people along the main road, and the heavy traflic speeding by. Her rambling thoughts were in- terrupted by the appearance of ltr. llliller in the doorway of the inner office. Come in, lVIiss Thrush, he said in a courteous tone. It's been a long time since you have visited this office. lNIyra, glancing at the title on the door, nodded in mute agreement. hlyra came out from her visit radiantly flushed. She accepted the congratulations of her co-workers absent-Inindedly and returned to her machine. At her first leisure moment she borrowed stationery and penned the following letter to her husband. Her Page 90 eyes sparkled as she wrote each line. The next evening a young man in an apartment in Philadelphia read eagerly the following message. A happy light flickered across his face as he read and re-read each line. January 24, 1940 Nlr. John L. Thrush Keystone Apartments IH Torresdale Court Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Dear John: hfrs.

Is there a chance I won a college scholarship? I had hoped and worked hard to become an elementary school teacher. I hadloved school from my first day, which I recall. It was disappointing when I did mwt Learn of such success. After graduation I attended Burette College in Boston, evenings, while-sbrking as a typist days and I graduated with honor, My next job waswith an old company, Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Company, an old company at 50 State Street, as a stat- istical typist and secretary. After about six years, a new job as secretary to a president of a company lname forgottenl on Congress St, I traveled to Lon- don with my parents, going by ship. My dad was employed by Stone 8 Webster, and Dad was being sent to London for an indef- inite time. My mother refused to go unless I went with them. It was a most difficult choice, but I did go with my parents. I enjoyed a wonderful five months in war-torn London and nearby countryside. In the spring of 1950 I returned to Wollaston and was married? 52 years to Edward Buck Willard, also a NQHS graduate as well as Massachusetts State University. We traveled around the United States a year later . My husband died in 1901. We are the proud parents of three suc- cessful children and 10 remarkable grandchildren. It does not change my life a bit, but I would like to know if I did win a scholarship. College was my dream in high school. My life has been a wonderful one so far--I am 85 years old. Sincerely, A' fx Vff we fd Miratfaffgi Margretta Wood Willard X
