National Honor Society Colleges may have their sororities and their fraternities, but North goes a step ahead with its National Honor Society. This was sponsored by Mr. Mac- Donald until he was transferred to Quincy High, whereupon Miss I-lorrigan became supervisor. The organization, a new but rapidly growing one at North, includes both boys and girls-any students who meet the necessary requirements. Xl'hat are these qualifications? The pupil should be continuously striving to develop his character: to maintain high scholarship, to give generously of his services to the Schoolg and to lead his fellow associates on to greater heights. Each May there is an impressive induction ceremony by which the new can- didates receive their membership cards and pins, preparatory to meeting those standards set by their proud predecessors. The Bowling Club The Bowling Club is made up of approximately 150 boys and girls under the supervision of Mr. J. Silvia. This Club meets every VVednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon at the Norfolk Bowling Alley. The war situation has caused all extra activities to be cancelled for the duration. Memories of the Girls Club Ruth Richmond, President Mary Shea, Vice-President Carol jackson, Treasurer jean Mullin, Secretary WELFARE WORK: VVe girls certainly had a successful year. VVe sent money and clothes to Russia: money to China and Greece, Thanksgiving and Christmas contributions to the Family XVelfare and Red Cross, clothes to Tuskegee Institute and stuffed dolls and animals to the British. In addition, we sold six hundred VVar Stamps at the Fun for Guns show. SOCIAL AFFAIRS: We shall never forget Initiation Day, the weenie roast at Squantum, the Fun for Guns show, the Christmas party and Assembly, and the party in the gym. XVe shall remember these activities also: three assemblies with .selected speakers on Personality, Clothes, and General Interestsg our Mother's Tea and Style Show and our Annual Dance.

Hi-Y l'nder the guidance of Mr. james Hardy of the Y. M. C. A., the Hi-Y Club enjoyed another successful year at North. As usual this well-known service organization helped at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Business meetings were held in the School, and meetings at the YH proved to be both interesting, educational, and sociable. Several of the members attended the Hi-Y conference at Springfield last fall and gained a great deal which was brought back to the group. These ideas helped the organization and officers of -12 and 4-S. The ofiicers were .lack Hendrick, president: Bob Lawrence, vice-president: XYalter Montgomery, sec- retary and john Randolph, treasurer. The Prom Committee The Prom Committee, under the leadership of Mr. Foy, gave us one of the hnest Senior Proms that any class at North has ever had. jo Birmingham and her committee arranged for the patriotic decoration of the Armory. jack Hend- rick was able to secure the fine orchestra of Andy Jacobson, whose music was enjoyed greatly all evening. The hall was in the charge of Alice McXYeeny, and all was in readiness for the big event when the night of February 26 came. The invitations were handled by Jean Fratus and Allen Miller, while Herby Olson and Ted Moynahan got out the programs. jean Mullin took care of the invited guests and organized the receiving line. Gloria Richmond handled the publicityg and Gene Kelly gathered the class dues so we could make the Prom not only a social but a financial success. Corinne LeBlanc and VValter Montgomery did the general worrying as they helped the other members of the committee. These people all contributed to making the Prom the success it was. ' The Tri-Hi-Y-Club The Tri-Hi-Y Club, one of the outstanding organizations at North, has enjoyed another successful year. Miss Frances Allbright and Mr. james Hardy, directors of the Club, were assisted by janet Fratus, president, Grace Madden, vice-president, Shirley XYallace, secretary, and Virginia Whipple, treasurer. Meetings were held weekly alternating at the School and the Quincy Y. M. C. A. The most outstanding event of the year was the Mother's Night, at which much talent was displayed. Many interesting and worthwhile talks were given and parties were held with other Hi-Y's.
