Band Under the capable direction of Miss Ruth Christman this year ' s band was the best band on the South Shore. As in other years, the band was most effective in stimulating spirit at our local football games. The band performed at many interesting assemblies, which all led up to the musical climax of the year — the Annual Band Concert. The Senior Band, in co-operation with the Junior Band and Quincy High School Band, presented one of the finest musical entertainments of the season at this concert. One of the most thrilling experiences was playing at the Tech Tournament in the Boston Gardens. The band was commended highly by all who attended. The officers of this active organization are: Daniel Phipps, President; Roy Bruce, Vice-President; Phyllis Ericson, Secretary; Frank Bartlett, Treasurer; Francis Burns, Business Manager. Much of the Band ' s success is due to our snappy head drum majorette Phyllis Ericson and the four drum majorettes: Barbara Pickles, Irene Webster, Betty-Jayne Pickles, and Jane Miller.

Glee Club North ' s Glee Club, under the able direction of our Miss Ruth Christman, has one of its best years. Although wartime conditions still prohibited the annual festivals, the Glee Club, with the help of the Ensemble, gave its Christmas Concert in a beautiful rendition of Yuletide music. With selections from the Holy City and patriotic melodies, the Glee Club presented its Spring Concert aided by the Ensemble. Officers for 1944 were: President, William Macdonald; Vice-President, Barbara Perkins; Secretary and Treas- urer, June Freedman; Business Manager, Russell Estabrooks.

Tri-Hi-Y Club The Tri-Hi-Y Club has had another bang-up year! As a companion club of the Hi-Y, it is one of the most outstanding organizations at North. Including such out- standing events as initiation, joint meetings, Mothers ' night, the club has enjoyed a most successful year. Meetings were held weekly, alternating between school and the Quincy Y. M. C. A. Business meetings were held at the school, while meetings at the Y provided many educational and social advantages for the members. Meetings were also held at our new Youth Canteen, our most interesting project of the year. Along with the Hi-Y boys, the members of the club worked vigorously and enthusiastically painting and sand- papering in order to provide a suitable place for dances and meetings in the North end of the city. The officers: Jean Johnson, president; Pauline Rupprecht, vice-president; Harriet Moynahan, secretary; and Frances Campbell, treasurer; were most ably assisted by Mr. James Hardy and Miss McCoy, the club advisors.
