Student Secretarial Staff The Student Secretarial Staff is comprised of senior girls in the Commercial course, who are willing to devote free time to assisting members of North's faculty. The purpose of the work is twofold: first, to give the girls practical business experience, and second, to be of service to the school. Each girl is assigned as a secretary to a teacher, and it is her duty to perform the tasks which the as- signed teacher may have for her. These tasks include clerical and stenographic duties, such as filing, taking dictation, typing, and running duplicate copies on the Mimeograph and Ditto. Secretaries are also as- signed as afternoon assistants to the principals of the Quincy, Squantum, Montclair, and Wollaston schools. The staff will certainly be missed Whenrjune comes, as they have done creditable iiivork. North Quincy High is to be commended for giving the Senior commercial girls the opportunity to profit from this valuable experience. i261

Traffic Squad Did you ever see anyone driving on the wrong side of the road, or speeding down the wrong way of a one-way street? Well, if you did, you no doubt saw an alert city policeman stop that careless person and either warn him or impose a penalty upon him. That is why North has alert, efficient traffic officers posted at all one-way avenues and rotary intersections-to stop those careless persons who pay not the slightest attention to which way they should go and which way they do go. There are four traiiic captains at North, one for each floor. These captains, john Meskill, Theodore Walter, Phillip Hirtle, and Patricia Waite, are aided by trafiic oiiicers in keeping North's thoroughfares clear and free from all traiiic jams. The squads, cooperating with the teachers appointed to each Hoor, produce a smooth, efficient traffic system. Pupils selected for traffic duty are chosen from the junior and senior classes on the basis of capability, reliability, character, and scholarship. l25l

Bowling Club The Bowling Club, under the direction of Mr. Julius Sylvia, meets every Wednesday, Thurdsay, and Friday at the Norfolk Bowling Alley. This year the total membership, including boys and girls, was about 180. Mr. Walter Warriner had charge of the boys. In past years the club has participated in tournaments and competitions, and it also held an outing at Nantasket at the end of each season, but this year, due to present war conditions, such plans were curtailed. Outstanding senior bowlers were David Mac- Kinnell with a high three string score of 325, Shirley Jackson with a high three string score of 318, and Miriam Harding with a high single string score of 120. The popularity of this activity is evidenced by the fact that the membership of the club seldom decreases and the enthusiasm of the bowlers continues throughout the entire season. i271
