NURSES' CAREER CLUB Janet, Joan, and Gerry anticipate a world-shaking discovery as Miss Gray probes into what makes Pete tick. The Nurses' Career Club through its varied activities is achieving its main purpose: to direct North's future nurses toward the field of nursing most suited to each of them. Under the direction of Miss Gray, the girls and the oflicers, Gerry Lemaire, Maureen Devine, Janet Kirkland, and Joan Lundgren, are learning much about the nursing profession and at the same time are per- forming tasks that symbolize the life they have chosen: a life of service. The girls learned tangibles about a career in the U. S. Services at the student nurse program that was presented to them by Lt. Cmdr. Perron, Lt. Ianacone, and Capt. Murphy of the Armed Forces. Knowing that many adults want to help them, these future nurses have acquired a Charit- able spirit themselves. At Christmas they adopted a family of six whose father was unemployed. The girls collected money and gifts to help this family have a happy holiday. Both in giving and in tak- ing the Nurses, Career Club has developed a spirit that is making many favorable impressions.

Under the spirited leadership of Mr. Paul Carlin, faculty advi- sorg Fred Ritchie, president, Paul Gullicksen, vice-president, Lou Malzone, treasurer, and Steve Ricciardi and Dick Paone, secretar- ies the Key Club has compiled an impressive year of service.

The diversity and success characterizing the program of the Key Club have served to carry effectively the spirit of North Quincy High School both to the student body and to the community.

Q 1 S5529 PROM DANCE COMMITTEES Debbie, Denny, Soupy, Lou, Dave, and Joan seem on the verge of a spirited Prom idea. Last fall, with a fine show of spirit, the Prom Com- mittee for 1962 began its planning for the all-impor- tant night. Chairman Debbie Anglim and Co-Chair- men Dennie Allen and Bob Campbell, with the help of senior-class advisor Donahue, organized the com- mittee into sub-committees and the Prom was on its way! The date was set, the favors were chosen and, in spite of much coaxing, were kept a secret, the pro- grams were planned and printed, and the invitations were sent out to the senior class and its guests. After the last-minute preparations of arranging for the flow- ers and for the roast beef or turkey dinners, the Prom was ready. The gay couples made their way on May 25, 1962 to the beautiful King Phillip Ballroom for a long-to-be remembered evening of dancing, dining, and enjoyment. While the prom committee was busy with its prep- arations, the dance committees were working to help finance the Prom. The Senior Class held three record hops: the Gridiron Gallop, the Skid-Hop, and the Ber- muda Hop. For each of these, the dance committees, headed by our class oflicers, had to make decorations and put them up, sell tickets, and volunteer for admis- sion and refreshment duty. They plunged in with gusto and made our dances not only financially successful but also gaily festive. 4
