SKI CLUB PEP CLUB School spirit, a quality needed in every high school, has been boosted at North Andover High School by the members of the Pep Club. Donna Bellorado, chairman of the club, and the members deserve much credit for their fine support to N.A.H.S. This was truly shown by the large number present at the Tech-Tourna¬ ment games. Using the ideas of last year’s organization, the Pep Club is the beginning for the achievement of a united student body. They have supported various competitive teams, many other activities of fellow classmates, and most important, helped make the atmosphere of high school life better. It is support, like that given by the Pep Club, that makes the students have a feeling of pride and devotion to their school.

FOOTBALL Despite a disappointing won-lost record, the 1964 football campaign may be rated as a success. This year’s Scarlet Knights had spirit and a will to win. They worked hard in practice, and their hustle on Saturdays proved it. Led by Captains Brendan Foster, Bruce Allen, and Stephen Whittaker, the team was kept on the go. With three games remaining in the season, the Knights were winless, with their best effort being a 12-12 tie with Little Three rival Methuen. Meeting a larger Billerica squad at the latter’s field, the Scarlet Knights registered their first victory, a 19-0 rout. In their second to last game of the season, the Knights ran Burlington right off the field with a 31-0 romp. The season’s finale came against traditional rival Andover on Thanksgiving day. Despite a score of 22-7, North Andover fought their opponent on even ground. After a few minutes, the Scarlet Knights led briefly, 7-6. Andover took the lead short¬ ly after, and both teams played aggressive football. The Scarlet Knights showed much spirit in the final period as they kept fighting right up to the final whistle. After the game, most people felt that it was the best game played against Andover in many years. The 1964 Scarlet Knights had two players voted to the Lowell Suburban League All Star Team. Senior co-captain Brendan Foster was elected to a defensive half-back position, while junior John SanAntonio was elected to an offensive guard post. It was a fine tribute to these two hustling, hard working players. The Scarlet Knights gave their fans many thrills this season. A four-pass interception by Brendan Foster against Me¬ thuen, and a return of an interception for 91 yards and a touch¬ down by Bruce Allen highlighted the thrills. This year’s team also had many fine juniors led by John SanAntonio, next year’s captain. Every member of the 1964 Scarlet Knights’ football squad showed improvement. This unit improved with every game. That in itself is a successful season. 86
