Music fills the air-the beautiful music of North Quincy High School's orchestra. Any boy or girl who plays an instru- ment may join the orchestra and form a part of this unit of pleas- ant harmony. The purpose of the organization is to provide an opportunity for pupils of grades seven through twelve to work to- gether in a field where their special talents may be encouraged and developed. Children in elementary schools are anxiously awaiting the time when they may go to North and join the or- chestrag seniors are thankful that they have been given a chance to play to their heart's content in the orchestra. Music fills the air at commencement exercises and also at the senior class play. At Christmas, the time of serenity and peacefulness, the orchestra's music is most important. Carols and Christmas music are played at assemblies, contributing beauty to the program and heightening the Christmas spirit. The Spring Concert provides the school with still another opportunity to hear the fine music of the North Quincy High School orchestra. Music fills the air at North: as long as the orchestra continues, the music will be beautiful and harmonious. 95 sv, I

The Glee Club offers a fine cultural opportunity for all stu- dents with musical tastes to develop their interests and abilities. Under the direction of Mrs. Whitney, this group has presented programs of high caliber, choral tributes to the results of long hours of practice and constant teamwork. The efforts of these boys and girls do not go unrewarded, for their special broadcasts on Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day, the Christmas Assembly Program, and the Memorial Day exer- cises are received with pleasure and enjoyment by teachers and students alike. The climax of the Glee Club's year is its participation in the annual Spring Concert given by all of our musical organizations. This concert, itself a herald of spring, is as welcome as the first songbirds and the first flowers. The Glee Club's officers are as follows: Presidenl, LAVERNE MCCULLEY Vire4President.

All individual and most classroom use of books relating to social studies is dependent on the efficiency of the Social Studies Laboratory Staff. Serving as a library staff in the Social Studies Laboratory, members check books in and out to both classrooms and individual students, put cards in books, and perform any other duties necessary to keep the books circulating. The volunteer members are approved by counselors and homeroom teachers, and then placed on a schedule which puts them on duty either in a study or homeroom period, or before or after school. Since the stall is a service organization, its social activities are limited. Usually there is a party for members and their mothers during the year and a picnic or a trip to the Pops Concert near the year's end. The Social Studies Laboratory Staff should be commended for its extremely essential service to the school. Under the direc- tion of Miss Pratt, it has made possible the circulation for general use of many worthwhile reference books on several social studies subjects.
