if SYPQQQQNI Q , Z f in this country so, of course, North is right in there. If you have seen a special hus one Wednesday afternoon a month leaving the school with a group of happy and expectant stu- dents and wondered where they were going, you at last have the answer, to Symphony Hall. 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 Q8

Kirliberley Alfred Henriksen VERY year a few students elected from the senior class by virtue of their acting ability present a Senior t'lass Play. This play is coached by Blr. John llofferty. 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.
