National Honor Society The National Honor Society at North Quincy High School was composed of those eleventh and twelfth grade students who were outstanding in character, scholarship, leadership, and service. To be a member of this society was something which every student desired. Previous to this year, an induction ceremony was held each May complete with membership cards, pins, and a hearty handshake from Mr. Collins. In May of 1943, the following members of the class of 1944 were elected to mem- bership: Audrey Abbott, Jean Ayers, Arthur Bostwick, Man,- Louise Cluett, Shirley Daniels, Barbara DeMone, Russell Estabrooks, Jacqueline Gagnon, Evelyn Hayes, Lillian Hayes, Doris Johnson, Roger Josselyn, William M. Macdonald, Seth Manley, Doris Moran, George O ' Donnell, Marjorie O ' Keefe, Claire Parker, William Roach, Horton Shaw, and Joan Sullivan.

Student Council The Senior Student Council has always been known as one of the most important service organizations at North, and this year ' s council has lived up to that reputation. The officers were as follows: President, Ellis Quimby; Vice President, Jeanne Ayers; Secretary, Evelyn Richards; Treasurer, Charles Leveroni. One of the most important tasks which the council handled was the sale of War Stamps, and the results of the various campaigns were very gratifying. The cafeteria squad was under supervision this year for the first time, and here too the results were excellent. The council also provided the draperies for the gymnasium which make it a more suitable place for dances. Besides the aforementioned activities the council directed the traffic squad, took charge of the annual school elections, held several suc- cessful social events, conducted sports rallies, and sponsored drives for Community Fund and Red Cross. To say Senior Student Council is to say Service to the school.

Library Staff Where ' s the Reader ' s Guide? Is this an overnight book? Where can I find a book on amphibians? Is this book all right for a book report? These are only a few of the many questions showered upon the members of the Library Staff each day as they go about their various duties that make the Library Staff one of North ' s most important service organizations. The Library Staff, under the able direction of Miss Elizabeth Sherman, is made up of girls from Grade 9 through 12, who work before and after school and during study periods checking books in and out, shelving books, preparing bulletin boards, and helping to keep the library running smoothly. This year the staff ' s social activities began with a Halloween party and was followed by the initiation party for the ninth grade staff members. During the year a group of girls visited the class for physically handicapped children at the Pollard School and pre- sented them with two books to add to their own personal library. The social activities were brought to a close with the Mothers ' Tea, which has become a tradition with the Library Staff. The officers for this year were Louise Cluett, President; Rita Thornton, Vice-Presi- dent; Lorraine Weden, Secretary; and Mary McDonnell, Treasurer.
