I t I K l 1 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Prexie Pete ponders pressing Prom problems. As the last strains of Pomp and Circumstancen faded from Veterans Memorial Stadium on a June evening in 1961, the members of the Class of 1962 finally found themselves seniors. Before them lay the most crucial and, they hoped, the most memorable year of their lives-a last chance to make an enduring impression in a school already of impressive tradition. Well aware of the job ahead of them, President Pete Rubin, Vice-President Janet D'Angelo, Secretary Deb Wye, and Treasurer Bob Brudno, before leaving for their summer vacations, met with advisor Donahue to establish goals and outline class activities for the com- ing year. In September, with the Prom and Class Day Committee chairmen already chosen and the dates of dances and other main activities okayed, the oiiicers set out to convert their plans to realities. While continuing the perennial senior class com- mittees, the officers organized three additional groups: a Spirit Committee for focusing attention on and fos- tering enthusiasm for the endeavors of our athletic squads, a Scrapbook Committee for maintaining a rec- ord of public recognition received by North and its students in Greater Boston newspapers, and a Ledger Correspondence group for obtaining local coverage of North's activities.

You can't beat the quartet of Chris, Sue, Sandy, and Corinne, when it comes to formulating ideas. 09? TRI HI Y To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, church, and community, high standards of Christian character? With this aim in mind, the high- spirited girls from the two senior Tri-Hi-Y clubs at North this year directed their efforts toward useful projects and healthful fun. Lambda Chi, headed by Pat Worth, and Tri-Yakoos, led by Sandy Colletti, each conducted money-raising projects, such as cake sales and car washes, to tinance their various service activities, including bringing Christmas toys to orphans and sending food to a country overseas. The girls still found time for fun and each club held parties, dances, and hay rides, all of which added up to a very helpful and enjoyable year.

Once these many committees were underway, the officers could turn to the duties of their individual ofiices: Pete checked the progress of committees through their chairmen, and made announcements to the class via homeroom representatives, Janet repre- sented the class on the Student Council and at the same time worked on several committees, Deb handled all the class correspondence with the School Committee, King Phillip, etc., Bob deposited money from class activities and pursued often-belligerent class members for dues. More than half the class worked on the committees and produced two successful record hops, a Bermuda hop, cake sales, a gift to the school, Class Day, and of course the Prom. On June 2, 1962 Pomp and Circumstance was heard again-this time bringing to a close an impressive year of successful social, finan- cial, and spirit-inspiring activities on the part of the senior class.
