TRAFFIC SQUAD Minus the bright red hats the traffic squads of yore wore, our present squad has nevertheless carried on the splendid work which preceded them, under the super¬ vision of a very capable director, Mr. Fitzgerald. During the year,, several meetings were held to settle questions and to better the existing traffic rules. At the close of the third quarter, a new system was inaugurated, whereby single file passing was maintained under the supervision of the faculty. Rotary traffic was still ob¬ served. Paige Albee Robert Bryant Wesley Chisholm Richard Condon Walter Earley Charles Field Michael Gaffney Arthur Gallant John Harrison Leslie Hodgkins James Ireland Unknown to most of the school, the squad decided to have dues of ten cents a week. At the close of a twenty- four week period, the club had fifty-two dollars and eighty cents in its treasury. In April the money was returned to the officers. Mr. Fitzgerald extended his appreciation to the members of the force for the efficient service they had rendered. The following students were members of the squad: George Jewett Ted Knudson Edward Koptuck Paul Mich Penn Michelini Winston Oliver Richard Rogers Carl Ryan Edward Stanley Robert Stevens William Warren Winnie Oliver, Q-13

TRI-HI Tri-Hi sailed into its fourth year in 1943 with our very capable skipper, Miss Nichols, and the Executive Board, Janet Bird, Mardie Lyons, Jean Eisenhaure, Ruth Batch- elder, and Louise Davis at the helm. The able crew, ready for any kind of weather, was made up of a total number o f thirty seniors and juniors. In November five sophomores were added to this list. During the season, we have had many interesting pro¬ grams. As guests of Hi-Y, we heard our first speaker, Mr. Nelson Bishop. Later we had as our own speakers, Mrs. Dale Reynolds who gave us a very interesting talk on Hawaii; Mrs. Barbara Locke, representative of Beauty Counsellor; Reverend Jack M. Baker and Mr. A. Imrie Dixon of Reading; and Dr. Menenhall from the State Department of Social Hygiene who spoke on Boy and Girl Relationships. Tri-Hi has taken as its avocation Red Cross Bandage Rolling and we have been over to the Centre School a couple of times this year. We have also been down to the Melrose Y. M. C. A. twice to get in a little mid-winter swimming. Our plans for the future consist of our annual program for the girls of Reading High School in April, and a bang-up party to end a season of not exactly smooth sailing but lots of fun!
