NORTH STAR Few people realize what goes on behind the scenes in the publication of a high school newspaper. First, the editorial staff gathers the news, sorts the various stories, and chooses the most interesting and newsworthy articles. Often those contributions not used in one issue will be retained for the next one because of their merits. Following this, all the contributions go to Miss Youngerman whose able clerical staff does all typing. After the return of the typewritten material, the stafl' sets up or places the numerous articles in the proper spaces where they will appear most interesting. Thus, by means of a dummy the staff can easily visualize the finished product which is then sent to the printer. YVithin a few days one thousand North Stars are received at North and distributed to subscribers. Credit for the publication belongs to the entire staff composed of students from all grades at North who wish to try their hand at journalism. Adviser, Mr. Laing, editor-in-chief, Robert Richardson: advertising man- ager, Margaret Gervasig circulation manager, Grace Reagan.

NURSES' CAREER CLUB What's going on?' Someone sick? Certainly not. All that excitement issuing from the Health Service Room every first Friday ol the month merely registers the interest and enthusiasm ol several young aspirants to the gentle art of nursing. Naturally they concern themselves with first aid and with schools ol nursing as well as with their own aptitudes and qualifications for meeting the exacting requirements ol the best schools. lfVhy wouldn't a movie portraying the duties of a nurse, and speakers from different fields of nursing provide them with necessary background? How could they help enjoying, as guests of the first year hospital students, an extensive tour of the living quarters and classrooms ol' the Quincy City Hospital and an informal talk by Miss O'Gara, Director ol' the School of Nursing? With so much being done lor them, they would want to reciprocate by a little service ol their own: buying, at Christmas time, toys, games, and clothing for a needy family. Adviser, Miss Gray, president, Deborah Hart: secretary, -Iacquelyn Oliver, treasurer, lane Riddell.
