Senior Student Council The Senior Student Council, now under the capable guidance of Mr. Noyes, is an organization of North's student-representatives, selected every spring by popular election. The Council sponsors many activities during its administration. Among those, the most successful in 1942-1943 were the annual elections, the Round Table Conferences, the drive to augment the sale of stamps and bonds, the record hops in the afternoons instead of dances in the evenings, the News from North column in the Ledger, and the sports rallies. In fact, all sorts of pupil activities originate with the Council. The members are as follows: Grade 12-XYarren XYatson, president: Drusilla life-st, vice-presidentg john Anthony, treasurer: Frank McGowan, jean Mullin, and Shirley Vlfallaceg Grade ll- Theodosia Dusopol, jean Ayres, secretaryg Eileen O'Hearn, Sybil Friedland, Llovd Crowther, Ellis Quimby: Grade 10-Fred Roach, George Doherty, Barbara Rich, Charles Leveroni, Louisa Reeks, and Shirley Tolan. Student Secretarial and Clerical Staff Keeping in mind the objective that commercial education, to be effective, must be practical, the Commercial Department assigns its pupils as clerical assistants to teachers, department heads, and the school OfflC6.' These pupils perform practical stenographic and clerical duties of the follow- ing nature: 1. Taking dictation and transcribing. 2. Making duplicate copies on the Mimeograph and Ditto. 3. Filing cards and preparing daily lists of pupil absentees for the office. Accurate ratings are kept for each pupil, based upon reports of teachers in the department and the teachers for whom pupils do individual work. These records are available for use by the Counseling Organization when pupils are recommended for positions. Traffic Squad The largest and most outstanding service organization at North is the Traffic Squad. Its members are chosen for character and scholarship with service as their aim. Each floor has not only a captain but also a faculty advisor. Thus, with this combination of factors, efhciency is inevitable. Red and black badges show the authority of the proud members who are sentinels within this School.

Cafeteria Squad The Cafeteria Squad at North is made up of pupils in both junior and senior high school. This organization was started by Mr. McDonald and Mr. Wilson is now the advisor. Under the leadership of Frank McGowan, the group has charge of organizing the home rooms, which are responsible for keeping the Cafeteria clean for one month each. The members of the group are also in general charge in the Cafeteria during their respective lunch periods. Last fall the Squad visited the Hingham High School, where they met with the Hingham Cafeteria Squad and described the cafeteria organization here at North. Later the Hingham Squad visited here to see the plan in action. The lunch periods for all at North are made more pleasant through the efforts of this organization. The Junior Class This year the Junior Class under the energetic leadership of Thomas Meade, President, Irene Collins, Vice-President, and Helen Orcutt, Secretary, has had a fine and successful year. This group of enterprising young people planned and carried out, under the guidance of Miss Fagerland, one of the best dances of the year. The officers of the Class have been very active and helpful in student affairs and the membership of the Class has been well represented in student activities, student government, athletics, musical units, and social activities. Great things are expected of the Class of 1944 in their senior year. Library Staff The Library Staff is one of the most important service organizations here at North. Under the direction of Miss Sherman, it not only offers an opportunity to serve the School but also gives opportunity for social life. This year, for instance, our staff sponsored a Library Conference with representatives from the other school staffs attending. This year's officers include Barbara Ryder, presi- dent, Louise Cluett, vice-president, Anne Carmichel, secretaryg and jenny Malmburg, treasurer.
