Girl GIRLS, SPORTS The girls' sports season got under way with a rugged but fun-packed round of soccer games in which the senior belles were able to win over the juniors and sophomores. From this, the girls turned to the less vigorous sport of volleyball. In the sophomore league, the team captained by Sondra Clarke, came through in fi.rst place while in the junior-senior circuit, teams one and four tied for first. From the late fall until the early spring, basketball reigned supreme with the fe- male sports enthusiasts comprising seventeen teams which played in a sort of round robin schedule. The play was fast and hard but the girls came out none the worse for their playing. The later spring was spent playing soft ball. All in all, the girls, sports schedule offered a vari- ety of play for everyone to enjoy. N Club-First row: Pat Morar, Emily Wcinwurni, Gerry Krause, Pat Mokrohisky, Frances Townsend. Second row: Marion Hyatt, Esther Aswad, Margaret Gee, Sandra Palmer, Phyllis Strong, Nancy Ash. Third row: Louise Hood, Ann Mohr, Shirley Gilbert, Dot King, Bessie Badger. PEP CLUB Cold, crisp days . . . Football' days . . . That is when the Pep Club is most noticeable. You probably have seen them, in the reserved section with red and blue caps, fiying banners and stream- ers, and, of course, cheering our team on. These girls follow the cheerleaders and give forth with lusty yells. There are many new members this year who are fast learning the new cheers so that they can be the backbone of next year,s Pep Club. PLAY DAYS The play days which are sponsored by Triple Cities Schools, are organized to create cooperation among students. During each season, a play day is held for each specific sport and group of girls from each school is selected to participate. This year North High has participated in three play days. The girls who represented North in at least two out of three are as follows: S. Clarke, M. Gee, S. Gilbert, A. King, D. King, A. Mohr, P. Mokrohisky, S. Ash, J. St. Clair, N. Spencer.

Ab J C l rmined to dribble through two Ith ca players. . . nd Jumor arslt North played the Wildcats on even terms for the first half trailing by 34-32 but Lakata broke it open in the second half. Joe Garbarino was the most effective man for North and ended up his night's work with a total of 13 points. NORTH 66-CENTRAL 55 The Indians closed out their regular season play with a decisive 11-point victory over their intra-city rivals from Central. The braves showed superb form, something they lacked in many of their previous games, while the Bulldogs were not able to meet the pre-game predictions. John Young and Moe Goodspeed were most effective under the backboards and controlled the ball most of the time that the play took place in this area. Vince Coyle played his usual calm floor game, passing to perfection and setting up many key plays. The team's scoring efforts were led by Joe Garbarino and Fred Murphy each scoring 15 markers, seconded by Moe Goodspeed with 10.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Charlie Howland's J.V. squad completed a so-so season with a record of 8 wins against 8 de- feats. The fellows worked hard but didn't seem to be able to make points when they were really needed. Since a majority of the players were small, the taller ones had a more difficult time trying to keep opponents from getting too near the basket. The first seven men composed of Ron Rasmussen, Bob Pratt, Ed Knauf, Gerry Dukerich, ,lim Osier, Bob Lesso and Frank Petro saw much action, while the good but less experienced men saw the games from the bench. All the JayVees have high hopes of becoming next yearis varsity stars, and all of us wish them the best of luck during their remaining basketball years here at North.
