McKeel, diligently mops up C-Hall floor dirt and scuff marks during after school hours. if Vital to the maintenance of any large high W school are the cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and students who Work in the office and cafeteria. NHS is no exception. Most of our 1300 students are transported to and from school daily by some 25 bus drivers. The long snakelike line of yellow buses at the close of every school day is seen on the hottest day of June and on the cloudy, rainy days of December. Equally important are the women who prepare hot lunches each day in the school cafeteria. Besides their task of providing food for the students of NHS, these women fix meals to be carried to Masons Cove Elemen- tary school. Several girls and boys spend an hour each day in the cafeteria to earn their free lunch. Cafeteria maintenance depends greatly on these students. Numerous girls devote one or two study halls per day Working in the office. Errands to be run are plenty. ser' Ig' .sq-7.5 r.

Choir Heartibf Sings D0-Re-Me-Fa-S0-La Northside's reorganized choir, under the superb direction of Miss Mildred Johnson, has almost doubled its activity. Early in the fall members sang during half-time activities at the Shrine Bowl with other choirs from Roanoke area high schools. They entertained harried Christmas shoppers at the Crossroads Mall December 19 and sang a medley of songs from around the world at our Christmas assembly. Also dur- ing the Christmas season, they built a float and entered it in the Roanoke and Salem parades. February 20 was the date for All-State choir. Not only was this the first time this had been held at Northside, but it was also the first time our choir had participated. Miss Johnson selected eight people from our choir to represent us in the All-State. The highlight of this occasion was a concert by all members of the All-State choir. For this spring, the choir planned two concerts which were presented to the ele- mentary schools and our student body. i OFFICERS: Pres. O. Blanney, Inter. S. Blankenshop, Sec. M. Brown Music and Robe Lib. A. Simmon, C. Striclin. Northside's choir had a Spanish Christmas and used 'iCalypso Noeli' for their theme in Christmas parade. 180 i
