i This year, the Glee Club has changed man- agement, so to speak, It is now under the direction of Mrs. Whitney since Miss Chirstman left last year. This year has certainly been a successful one. The Christmas play put on was like nothing ever attempted by the school Glee Club. The colorful, rich costumes and lovely tableaux with a musical background of soft voices made a lasting impression on the whole school. If good Glee Clubs are made by good performances, then surely North's Glee Club is one of the best. Besides their perform- ances, moreover, the Glee Club members have en- ioyed just meeting every week and singing. The Glee Club

Xl' ' 1 l l A Y V , Band The band is such a familiar part of the school that it is taken too much for granted. If there were no band to play at the football games, assemblies. and concerts, how well we would come to appreci- ate it. North has always had an outstanding band. and this year's has been no exception. Under the direction of Mrs. Whitney the band was organized and scheduled its performances at the beginning of the year. Inspired by the music of our school song the football team achieved a remarkable victory over our arch enemy, Quincy High. This is only one of the unrepayable debts the student body owes to the band. This year Roy Bruce was president: Jack Gers- tel, vice-president: Ruth Kilpatritk, secretary: Rob- ert Newton. treasurer: and Chandler Cushman. manager.

Tri Hi Y The Tri Hi Y club is one of the most active or- ganizations at North. The group consists of senior and junior girls who are elected to the organization by the other members in the club. With such out- standing events as initiation, joint meetings with the Hi Y clubs from Quincy High and North, par- ents' night and a sleigh ride, the club has enjoyed a most successful year. At first, the weekly meetings were held alter- nately at school and at the Quincy Y. M. C. A., but later they were transferred to the newly-opened Youth Canteen. Business meetings were held at school, while the meetings at the Y and Canteen usually included recreation such as ping pong and movies. The members of the club helped to pro- vide furniture. two ping pong tables and a juke box for the Canteen. The officers: Millicent Entwistle, president: Barbara Smith, vice-president: Anne Carmichael. secretary: Susan Black, treasurer, were ably assist- ed by Mr. James Hardy and Miss Catherine McCoy. the club advisers.
