ational Honor Society It is in the spring time of the year that those who have earned recognition or distinction in their school work receive acknowledgment for their ac- complishments. In institutions of higher learning throughout the country, honors are awarded students having high scholarship and outstanding characters. And so here at North, there is the National Honor Society. A few selected juniors and seniors, standing in the first third of their class scholastically, and outstanding in character, leadership, and service, are inducted into the society in an impressive cere- mony, which concludes with the presentation of a gold pin of honor to each member. Although the society is a purely honorary body, it does strive, under the adviser, Mr. Frank MacDonald, to contribute to the activities and wel- fare of the school in any way possible. 1941-42 oHicers of the society: Robert Leader, president, Jean Finlay, vice-president, June Miller, secretary, and Joseph Meehan, treasurer.

The North Quincy High School band can chalk up another successful and eventful season to its credit, due to its own efforts and the able direction of Miss Ruth Christman. Again the members have added their talents collectively to form the colorful, snappy background for the football games. And once more the student body is proud of the fine showmanship the band displayed out there on the field between the halves. Assemblies throughout the year were made more interesting by the presence and music of the school band, and all this led up to the musical climax of the year on April 10, the annual Band Concert. At this gala event the Senior Band, in cooperation with the Junior Band, String Ensemble, Glee Club, and Quincy High School Band, presented what was probably the finest musical entertainment of the season to a large and appreciative audience. The officers of this lively organization are: Harvey Humphrey, presidentg Priscilla Smith, vice presidentg Gerard Schaefer, treasurer, Bryant Carter, business manager. 4171 Band
