Our very successful prom this year was due to the work of a small but untiring group of seniors. They comprised the Prom Committee and were re- sponsible for taking care of decorations, securing an orchestra and carrying out the hundreds of de- tails that must be attended to in order to make a prom successful. These members were chosen from a list of all the seniors, obtained from the various homerooms. Each of the class officers was asked to check the names of the pupils he thought would be best fit- ted for the committee. The people getting the most checks were selected. The senor class extends its hearty thanks to the following seniors who, through their untiring ef- forts, provided a wonderful evening for all.

Social Studies Laboratory Staff A group of carefully selected students com- poses the Social Studies Laboratory Staff. These members are dependable, conscientious, and helpful to those who come to Room 301 in search of Social Science information. Miss Pratt and Mr. Noyes are in charge, but the entire responsibility during school hours is taken by the students on the staff. The duties in- clude checking books in and out, recording circu- lation, and caring for the books in general. Offi- cers are Betty Eckl, presidentg Eleanor Hatherly, vice-president: and Patty-Bo Harvie, secretary- treasurer. The members of the Social Studies Laboratory Staff turned social and entertained their mothers at a Christmas Party in December. Coffee and cake were served on candlelit tables, and colored travel movies were shown. In the Spring a picnic was held, an annual occasion, which is always en- joyed by the members.

Ncwswriters' Club Although the Newswriters' Club was in opera- tion last year, recognition was not given in the Manet. This year, again under the friendly and helpful guidance of Miss Palmer, we have en- deavored to rebuild in the eyes of the public, a firm, enviable reputation for North and to acquaint fel- low students with the numerous extra-curricula ac- tivities in the school. Each of our more than thirty reporters has written articles under titles ranging from Sideline Passes to 'The Late Christopher Bean. Interesting articles written by the student body also were welcomed for publication. To further familiarize students with our activi- ties, we conducted our intensive publicity cam- paign with our members posting, in all senior high homerooms, each News from North column as it appeared through the courtesy of the Quincy Pa- triot Ledger. In addition to our own columns, other articles of interest to North students were posted on our new bulletin board on the third fioor. For our officers, we elected Bob Mahn, editor: Mildred Poch, assistant editorg and Jean Leary, publicity manager.
