North Kingstown High School - Skippers Log Yearbook (North Kingstown, RI)

Text from Pages 1 - 134 of the 1957 volume:

DEDICATION The business and social experi- ences gained from the venture of editing and producing a yearbook should, and I am sure will be, of great value to those taking part and the pleasure to your classmates will be a memento which will be valued highly by them. My sincere congratulations to the advisor. Mr. Quinn, and to the staff for a well-organized yearbook. May your future activities measure up to the standard you have set this year. Greetings to the Class of 1957 from the Superintendent and his Staff: This year marks another busy and inter- esting phase in our rapidly increasing school program and population. Through the generous cooperation of the Naval authorities at Davisville, a temporary school of twenty-two rooms has been made available for the sixth, seventh and eighth grades in town. A new school of six rooms is under construction in Hoskins Park and a six room addition to the New Davisville School is also building. SENIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL So as you go out from North Kingstown High School in June, you may go feeling as- sured that your schools are trying to keep pace with the new pupils who are taking your places in the future. Sincerely yours. j Sine j September 4, 1956 HIRAM A. DAVIS Superintendent of Schools MISS CHARLOTTE J. AYRES Modern Languages: B.A., Middlebury College, St. Lawrence University.

MR. HENRY A QUINN English: Providence. The familiar saying that the sun never sets on England's possessions could truthfully be applied to the people who use the language. It is estimated that it is spoken by over one hundred fifty million of the human race. Among the languages of the world, the English is unique in that it is the most composite of them all. From the beginning of its history it has shown a peculiar readiness to take up and make its own many words and forms from other languages, and in none other do foreign terms play so important a part.

CLASS SONG Graduation Day It’s a time for joy, a time for tears, a time we’ll treasure thru the years We'll remember always Graduation Day. At the junior Prom we danced till three, and then you gave your heart to me We’ll remember always Graduation Day. Tho’ we leave in sorrow all the joys we’ve known, We can face tomorrow knowing we’ll never walk alone. When the N. K. walls are far behind, no matter where our path may wind, We’ll remember always Graduation Day. CLASS HISTORY In September, 1952, our class first entered North Kingstown High with an Absolute fear of upperclassmen.” Our first chief in command or advisor was Mrs. Berker. Between science and the class of '57 she was kept quite busy. We started our great journey into the future with our first class election of officers who were: President: Betsey Aldrich Vice President: Ronald Davis Secretary: Margaret Hutchins Treasurer: Doug Smith We also voted on dues of 25c per month which, incidentally, no one paid. Due to the fact that we were so petrified with our new school life, we did not dare to take on any other activities except studying. (Who am I trying to kid???) Although as eighth graders, we were a little less terrified, we still felt out of place. But to get started on the routine again, we elected new officers and they were: President: Richard Cox Vice President: Thomas Mulvey Secretary: Jackie Moone Treasurer: Joseph Saunier Our freshman year proved quite interesting because to begin with, we weren't called merely ninth graders but were addressed as the freshmen and as the word is correct, we were quite flippy at that—are we still??? As usual the annual election came about and the results were as follows: President: Jackie Moone Vice President: Kenneth MacLennan Secretary: Mary Blue MacEachern Treasurer: Joseph Saunier And as we were to participate in the great event, which by the way was class day, we had to choose a class flower and class colors. The red rose was our choice and the colors were red and white—which may mean how red we got when the teachers scolded us and white when our CLASS HISTORY {Continued) parents found out about it. The other shades that entered into the story, you can easily figure out!!! The big band in our freshman year was not when the naughty lady of shady lane hit but the one and only Mr. Henry Arthur Quinn!!! You would think he would refuse the responsibility after seeing Mrs. Berker left for Alaska after her stay with us!!! We owe a debt of gratitude to our good advisor. We went on our picnic to Lake Mishnock and had a very enjoyable time. Parents and teachers who assisted Mr. Quinn in the management of this vivacious class were: Mrs. Nils Johnson Mrs. Robert Aldrich Mrs. John Barta Mrs. Frank Bordo Miss Dorothy Christiansen Mr. Frances Cavarretta The picnic was enjoyed by all—even the parents and teachers!!! As sophomores we were ready and willing to make our treasury grow in any way possible. Our class officers then were: President: Kenneth MacLennan Vice President: Richard Cox Secretary: Mary Blue MacEachern Treasurer: Tom Conway Our dues remained at 50c a month. Our first project was a Harvest Dance which was one of the largest monetary and social successes this school has known. Thanks to the diligent application of the entire class and Mr. Quinn, we made a C” note. Thanks to the support of all the students, too. Our second project was the selling of N.K. sweat shirts. They sold like hot cakes' 1955—Now we were Juniors—there was lots of work to be done. Tom Conway did not return to N.K.H.S. after our summer vacation so the class CLASS HISTORY (Continued) chose Jackie Moone as our new treasurer and Kent Webber as her assistant. Janice Pelkey was appointed as our social chairman. Betsey Aldrich was chosen as chairman of the ring committee. The class decided on the round Cataline—with the red stone. Our advisor received a tie clasp and cuff links to match our rings. ‘ Beauty and the Beef’’ was our class play. Janet Comer and Ken MacLennan had the leading roles and did a very good job as Beef and Ginny.” The directors: Mr. Quinn and who was that other little helper”??? Please keep it a secret if you know!!! No sooner were we through with our play than it was time to get the ball rolling on our Junior Prom. We received a nice letter from Mr. N. L. Arrighi, commander at the Quonset Naval Air Station, confirming the availability of the Officers' Club on May 25, 1956, for the annual Junior Prom in honor of the 1956 graduating students. This set us on the big plans. Janice Pelkey was chosen chairman of the Prom. The Officers’ Club was decorated in red, white, and blue. Mimi Ladd was queen of the Prom and George Ward was the proud king. September 1956, we were the Seniors! It came as quite a surprise to think there was no class to look up to. We decided what had to be, had to be. We got the ball rolling with our yearbook. Our co-editors were Betsey Aldrich and Andrew Ashepard. They have worked hard and deserve a lot of credit for their masterpiece, as we are very proud of it. We had our first food sale in October which was a success. I am writing this history quite early in our Senior year, it is hard to make any predictions about our future activities. We do hope to have a very suc- cessful and profitable year. On June 1957, as we walk onto the stage to receive our diplomas, the strain of the Graduation March began to die away, and we are back once again as seventh graders entering N.K. High. CLASS POEM THE GRADUATE We learned the books from A to Z, We learned the world's geography. They examined us and found Our mathematics fairly sound. And wholly satisfied by that They let us wear a tasseled hat. They boasted that they'd trained our minds To solve the problems of mankind. We knew the books, but did we know If they had taught us to walk alone The length of any street Prepared to face what we might meet? Between work and pleasure could we choose: Know which to take and which refuse? Had we the proper way been shown To solve small problems of our own? What did we know of wrong and right? When to submit and when to fight? If urged dishonest steps to take, What answer would we. the youngsters, make? Could we see selfish seekers gain And choose unselfish to remain? We knew the books, but did we know How slowly men in stature grow? Have we been taught the upivard way Is taken step by step each day? Had we this small discovery made, The easiest jobs are poorest paid? Have we been taught what men expect? Admire and respect. If so, above the drifting throng Our Class of ’37” will rise before long. Nan Porter Barbara Pelkey CLASS PROPHECY Well, here it is 1977. We, Herb St. Pierre, Ray Bennett, and Jim Hardeman, have been working hard on the plans for a class reunion. We decided to go back to Seavey's” to look up the old gang. A patrolman had the nerve to stop us—Juan Pla to be exact. He informed us to be sure to show up to face the judge, John Bicknell on the following Friday. As we lingered along the way, a little ole lady was having trouble with her car, so as good Samaritans we decided to lend 6 hands—who could it be but—Janet Bowen. Miss Bowen was very thankful when we left and promised we d call Bob MacEachern's Service Station for a wrecker. As we came into Wickford, we noticed signs all over the town. Benson for Town Council, Blease for the head of the school committee and George Rogers as the town dog-catcher. Putting up some of the posters were Milton Drake and Ronald Sampson. We stopped to talk to them and found out they were working for Leeming Kenyon Corp. of the old Standard office. We asked if there were any new reporters, and were informed that Pudge Rogers, Sharon Weesner and Carol Dombrowski were employed there. When we asked the men what was new, they handed us a standard, on the front page were these headlines, Splurgy’s Basketball team loses again, as we read the rest of the article it gave the startling news that Jackie Moone and Carol Johnson were disqualified for dribbling too much. In the classified ad section were some interesting articles: Brown Swiss— Bangs vaccinated; TB tested; 7-15 months. Best offer—care for two. Apply Bill King, Hamilton. Also: Nurses for elderly manor woman—cook and sew, call Sandra Tucker or Peggy Hutchins at Ga.-22222. Our attention was taken away from the newspaper by a lot of confusion in the middle of Brown Street. Leona Kenney, Phyllis LaBelle and Helen Klein were soliciting tickets for the annual pie contest which A1 Schiebenflug, Bill Gadrow and Donald Cahoone were the contestants. The pies, by the way. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) were being baked by Joan Bicknell and Mary Boyce at their bakery on Main Street. When we left the great sale, we pushed our way into Seavey's where the lines of people were yelling for the famous Cox cabinet, and the Gerrald sundae. Freida and Dick took over Seavey's about five years ago when they decided to settle down for keeps. When a waiter finally arrived to take our order, it turned out to be Ken Gardiner. He suggested we have a dinner of southern fried chicken because Jean Bordo was the chief cook for the day. When we finished our delicious dinner, we strolled over to the drug counter to purchase some Turns. Dotty Allen was kind enough to wait on us. We took a vote and figured we better continue our journey before the 5:00 o’clock rush. As we strolled down Brown Street, we came to a pet shop. The sign read Bonnie's Jungle.” Needless to say we couldn't resist entering. As someone walked up to us and said, may 1 help you” we turned around to reply thank you, we're just looking”—there stood Betsey Aldrich! With her shocked but pleasant smile she instantly yelled for Bonnie Bradley, the pro- prietor. Of course all the parrots started screeching, what a racket. In the midst of our conversation we found out that Fred Schlacter and Jim Smith were the trainers of their animals in the pet shop, and Andrew Shapard was the great game hunter who brought all of these to the store. Bonnie and Betsey went on to say that Ken MacLennan was the first owner of the store; but after he was married to Janet Comer a few years ago, he decided to buy a bigger business in Providence, now called Ken's Kennel.” Time was flying, so we left the women to tend their animals. As there wasn't too much time left, we figured we’d leave our car with the parking attendant, Bruce Menzies, and hire a cab and have the driver give us some tidbits of news and give us a guided tour, at the same time. As we flagged down a cab the sign on it was: Davis’s Cab Service. Who was driving but William Gates. Bill was very helpful when he told us of the whereabouts of our fellow alumni. First of all he told us he held a very important position CLASS PROPHECY {Continued) with the civic government in town, but he was just helping Ronnie by driving for him today because Donnie Whaley had an appointment with Gail Gardiner who at this time has a little office for the advice to the love-lorns. Bill said when Gail and Lynne Harris put their heads together, they gave quite the advice. We passed Mason's Gym where Kent Webber and Bob Ramstead were the boxing stars, Charlotte Fisher and Judy Barta, wrestling stars and of all things, a sign for car racing with Bob Labor and John O’Mara written all over it. If we had more time, we would have loved to stop and see some of the sports events. We stopped to get gas for the cab and the gas station attendant was none other than Doug Smith. He was scolding somebody for putting oil in the gas tank—some accident—it was poor Norman Hennebury. Doug said that Nor- man was nervous because his wife, Barbara Pelkey had just had her third child. What a proud father! We were quite surprised with how much N.K. had grown. All the places of business would amaze you. We saw a used car lot called Dot Greene Yup Cars instead of the famous O. K. cars. We saw someone over in the car lot making a sale, it looked like Otto McLaughlin selling one to Denise Caswell or was it the other way around. Next to the used car lot was a tiny shop with a sign on it which said. Have your tea leaves read by the great Shirley Wrightington and her side-kick Eileen Cummiskey. We told the cab driver to stop for a minute, this might prove interesting. When we walked in, Shirley greeted us with the expression, Coffee or tea—tea's more profitable.” We agreed. . . . She was dressed in quite a costume. She said she had lots of them and that Nancy Schartner was in the dressmaking business. We gazed across the room and noticed Eileen was telling somebody's fortune and who was it but John Clark. Getting back to our fortune, we were told that we would all be married. John to Bev Snow, Ray to Gail Sharpe and Jim to Margie Cahoone. What a laugh, we know that, we are already married to them and with families. This was enough for us because we knew that Davis's cab meter was running up quite a bill. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) When we returned to the cab, Bill was talking over old times with Balri MacDonough, now a Colonel in the army. Blair informed us that he was married to Nan Porter and they lived in Janice Pelkey’s apartments over in Belleville. Off we went again when we were stopped in a traffic jam. Holding up the traffic was Ken Kinnecom, driving for Charlie Hobbs trucking concern. He was delivering Alda Ganze some office material at her office on Main Street. We dropped in on Alda and found out she and Tim Sapp opened the secretarial service together. Maria Filip was the head secretary and Joe Saunier was the messenger. The phone was practically ringing itself off the hook so Joan Grayjurst, also a secretary, answered it. The operator seemed to be giving her a hard time. When Joan completed her conversation, she told us the busy little operator was Margaret Austin. When we left the secretarial service to return to our car, we met Mark- Dove who was yelling at some poor lady who was just learning to drive— Doris McWilliams. After calling Mark down he told us he was irr a rush to get to work on his job as manager of the new shopping center on the post road. We continued on to Bruce's Parking lot. When we got there, Bruce informed us that our old classmate, Geraldine Lund, had a slight accident when she so conveniently hit our car. We then took the bus home—wish us luck on our class reunion.

Having elected our Freshman officers, we began planning for the Spring Hop. Financially and socially it proved to be a huge success. Being full of ambition and thinking of our treasury, we held a Food Sale in June. To close the year we had a class picnic at Lake Mishnock. � After the election of officers we, as Sophomores, held a Food Sale to start the year. Additions to our treasury were made by the sales of jackets, pennants, and sweatshirts. To celebrate Christmas we had a class Christmas Party in the auditorium. Our annual Spring Hop was held in April—Friday the 13th to be exact. To say good-bye to the Seniors, we held a Farewell Dance for them. For our class picnic Lake Mishnock was chosen again. Finally we are Juniors and this year we have Mr. Perry and Mr. Haggarty as class advisors because Coach Murgo is no longer with our school. We hope to have a successful year with our new class advisors. After many heated battles, round rings were selected for our class ring. We can hardly wait until January when they will arrive. We chose October 12 for our Harvest Dance. Its success was shown by the large turn- out and the fun had by all. We are looking forward to the try outs for our Junior play to find out who the Class Thespians” are. And then our Junior Prom! The class of 59 entered North Kingstown High School as seventh graders in the fall of 1953. Miss Ross and Mr. Sheridan were appointed as advisors during our freshman year. The freshman officers, elected in the spring were: Ed Hertzog, president, Bonney Brennan, vice president, Carol Perry, secretary and Ted Seymour, treasurer. The first class dance was held in May and a month later, we went to Lake Mishnock for our picnic. This year the sophomore officers are Ted Seymour, president, Carol Perry, vice president, Bonney Brennan, secretary, and Dave Mudge, treasurer. We held a food sale in October and our first dance of this year, the Sno-Ball, in December. So far, our class has been quite successful and we are looking forward eagerly to the future.

This scholarship is given each year so that the senior may further his education. This group was organized in 1949 and has as its advisor, Mr. A. Perry. To earn -money, the club sells soda and candy at both basketball and football games. CHEERLEADERS Shirley Wrightington, Captain Ann Archambault Nancy Wrightington JoAnn Perry Carol Perry Lynn Comer Chris Cooper JoAnn Browning Sandra Corey Roberta Spink What is a basketball or football game without the cheerleaders! Many times these ten girls have cheered the N. K. team on—whether we’ve won or lost. They follow the games, rain, shine and even snow, to yell and encourage the players. To become a cheerleader means a lot of hard work with many hours of practice after school hours. The cheerleaders represent our school with pep, vitality, and personality, and school spirit! JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS MAUREEN BOYER, Captain JOAN SMITH BETTY JANE ROSE FRANCESCA WALSH GLENDA TAULSON Ever willing, always enthusiastic, the J. V.'s have proven their invaluable worth through the years to come. Although they only cheer at basketball games, they stick with the boys, win or lose. May their pep and loyalty ever go with them through life. Many thanks for your time and effort. FIRE DEPARTMENT Most schools marvel when they hear that N. K. has a fire department. This department is made up of senior high boys and they are advised by Mr. Lewis. When the boys learn all about the equipment and pass their test, they are awarded certificates. N. K. is proud of this organization. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Because N. K. is a rural school, agriculture is one of the main courses of study for boys in our high school who are planning to take up farming or anything to do with it. The F.F.A. was formed to provide training and enter- tainment for boys enrolled in this course, with Mr. Lewis as their advisor. Working to develop agricultural leadership, citizenship, and co-operation is the main purpose of this organization. It also sponsors such activities as the Old Farmers’ Dance,” which was quite a success this year. High school officers are: Frank Salisbury—president, Bill Gadrow—vice president, Allan Bucklin—treasurer, Don Cahoone—secretary. This year Bill King had the honor of going to Kansas City and was also elected as state president. We are certain that this organization will continue to prosper and we wish the members the best of success in their efforts in the National Farm Safety Contest. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Gail Sharp, President Joan Bicknell, Secretary Alda Ganze, Vice President Beverly Snow, Treasurer The F.H.A. is an organization for senior high girls. The club meets after school twice a week and is advised by Miss Eastwood. They work together to make the community a better place in which to live and to enrich their own lives. They are a credit to our school and we feel that they will continue to prosper in the future. GIRLS’ CHORUS Something new has been added to N. K. this year! The Girls' Glee Club! Along with this newly acquired organization, N. K. was fortunate in securing a new music teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, who directs the glee club. The girls rehearse four times a week, busily preparing for their singing engagements. Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, with angelic-like voices, learn to express themselves by the medium of song. N. K. is lucky to have so many talented girls who can gather together and make such beautiful music. GOOD WILL SOCIETY Here is a group that is a great help to students and to the school. Under the direction of Miss Tew, this group serves as hosts and hostesses at school activities, receptionists in the office and regular do-it-yourself” people. If you happen to be in the office for any reason, you are sure to see a smiling member. Among their projects for the year is the collection of food for the Lions Club Christmas baskets. Truly, they were given the right name when called the Good Will Society. MIXED CHORUS An assembly would never be complete without the mixed chorus. It rehearses four times a week and is made up of two different classes that combine when performing. They are directed by Mrs. Mitchell. The mixed chorus does a fine job whenever they perform and it is one of the most entertaining and worthwhile organizations at N. K. PEP CLUB The Pep Club is an organization that promotes the school spirit. It meets X” period to plan pep rallies, to make posters and to plan money making projects. SONIA SMITH President KF.N ANDFRSON NANC Y BROOM F Vice President ..... Secretary PROJECTION CLUB This group of students has as its purpose the showing of films which will be of help in various classes. Its busy secretary consults with teachers as to what films will be most advantageous during the week, and thus a schedule is made and projectionists assigned. Many of us have uttered a sigh of joy upon entering the classroom and seeing the projector and screen ready for use. At the beginning of each school year, new members are trained for this club which is under the direction of Mr. Hellewell. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Among the new groups added in our school is that of the Student Govern- ment. Under the capable direction of William Gates, one of our seniors, the group of students hopes to get under way with its plans for a miniature govern- ment composed of and run by the students themselves. Although the group just began this year, we all are sure that it will be a success. And to all our underclassmen friends, we wish the best of luck in their efforts for Student Government, now and in the coming years. STUDENT IMPROVEMENT This is an organization of which N. K. is really proud! Headed by Don Whaley, this committee drew up rules and regulations for the smoking priv- ilege. It was to be run this way;— Ten minutes of every lunch period was to be used as a recess period. Those who had permission to smoke would go in back of the school while the rest of the students went to the front. We are the only school in Rhode Island who has such a privilege and congratulations are due to the students and the com- mittee for keeping the rules and regulations. The committee for this year is: Don Whaley, chairman; Barbara Pelkey, Dave Mudge, JoAnn Browning, Brian Metcalf, Bonnie Brennan, Frank Glaw- son, and Richard Jones. N I FO O TBALL Athletic Director ANTHONY PERRY Coach JOSEPH VENDITTO Prap II� EAST GREENWICH In the opening league game North Kingstown met a sur- prisingly strong East Green- wich eleven which shut us out 13-0. In this game the ac- cent was on defense. Midway through the first quarter Bill Mudge attempted to punt from his own 32 yard line but the kick was blocked by an Avenger who picked up the loose ball and went 28 yards into the end zone. The Avengers rush for the point failed. The other Avenger score came late in the fourth quar- ter when Mudge broke into the clear at his own 20, but lost control of the ball. How- ever the Avengers picked up the loose ball and scampered into the end zone untouched. They kicked the conversion. N PROVIDENCE The Skippers were edged 13-7 in the exciting N. Provi dence-N.K. contest. In the opening period a Cougar went around end for 30 yards scoring the first rally. The Skippers lone TD came in the 2nd period on a 15 yard run by John St. Pierre that topped a 50 yard sustained drive. Billy Mudge's placement was good. In the final period the Cougars broke loose and went 50 yards, going over from the 3 for the winning TD. The point was rushed. PAWTUCKET VOKE The contest between N.K. and Pawt. Voke proved an exciting game for the Skip- pers with a final score of 26-7. Accounting for all 3 first period TD's John St. Pierre, our sensational halfback, was the outstanding star of the game. After the first fumble, we drove 45 yards for the score, with Saint” going over from the eight. The sec- ond march covered 50 yards, St. Pierre driving over from the two. The third time North got the ball on a fum- ble, St. Pierre did it the easy way, going 45 yards around end on the first play for the TD. In the second period, St. Pierre sparked again as he intercepted a Voke pass on his own 9 and raced it back 80 yards to the Voke 11 be- fore he was nailed. A pass from Bill Mudge to Ken Anderson gave North its final tally. Voke got its only TD in the fourth period on a pass play. The extra point was rushed and made. BURRIVILLB In the N.K.-Burriville game the Skippers were out maneu- vered 26-6. The Broncs first tally came after the opening kickoff, driving 58 yards, going over from the 4. The point was rushed. St. Pierre scored on a 2 yard plunge. Recovering 2 Skippers' fum- bles the Broncs scored twice more. Another tally was also made by Broncs in the second quarter on an end-around play. BARRINGTON The Skippers made good on their final bid in the fourth quarter of the N.K.-Barring- ton game and blanked the Eagles 6-0. Despite the brilliant pass- ing of Billy Mudge, who had 16 completions. North was stopped on 3 occasions after penetration deep into Eagle territory during the first three quarters. In the final quarter, North drove 65 yards to the Eagles 3 but were stopped short of the goal line. However, we recovered a Barrington fum- ble a few plays later on the Eagle 15 and marched from there for the game's only TD. After the Skippers had fallen on the loose ball, Mudge passed to John St. Pierre, who carried to the one and then Mudge sneaked over. COLT MEMORIAL In the Colt Memorial-N.K. we were turned back 13-6. Two bad passes from center that put North in a deep hole helped set up Colt's first TD. After we punted to our 26, the Bristolians drove for the first score of the game in the first quarter. After 2 scoreless quarters Colt got a second-tally com- pleting a 70 yard drive. North's score came in the closing minutes of the game when Billy Mudge capped an 80 yard drive with a plunge from the one foot line. He, St. Pierre and George Water- man shared the ball-carrying in moving the home forces to the goal line. SOUTH KINGSTOWN Armistice Day was the date for the renewal of the tra- ditional North-South rivalry. South met us with a powerful squad having been beaten only once previous. Our spirit was high although we knew we were the underdog. North received the opening kick-off deep in its own territory and was forced to punt on the first scries of downs. South took the ball at midfield and after gaining two first downs they passed for the TD. The rest of the half was dominated by South, scoring two more TD's. After the half the North defense stiffened and only one more TD was scored. Late in the fourth quarter North got the ball on the South 45 yard line and after a first down was banged out. Bill Mudge threw a 35 yard pass to Ken Anderson which was good for a TD. The extra point was scored which made the score 27-7. The game ended after the next kick-off. WARREN Once again bad luck took it's hold over us as the Warren Redskins shut us out at the contest at Jamicl Field. Passing for two of the TD's and setting up the other Warren's final tally was 19. North reached the Warren five late in the game with our sensational halfback John St. Pierre once again doing most of the ball carrying. A TD was made but was called back because of an off-side penalty. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. WARREN Winning its third in a row, N. K. won a thriller over Warren, 47-45. Ken Anderson's shot from the corner with 10 seconds left in the game was the decid- ing factor. Ken Anderson and Jick Metcalf were the big guns for N. K. with 13 apiece. Art McLaughlin was next with 10. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. EAST GREENWICH N. K. won another easy victory over East Greenwich 73-40. Bill Mudge, who was really ''hot” on his set shot, pumped in a big 30 points for N. K. Jick Metcalf was second for North with 17. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. COLT N. K. bowed to Colt after making a great comeback, 68-65. N. K., who was down 16 points in the final period, made a great comeback only to lose in vain. Ken Anderson played his best game of the year by scoring 38 points. He got most of his points in the final quarter. Art McLaughlin was second for N. K. with 13. The top gun for Colt was Calandra. Unfortunately the day be- fore the Colt game, we lost the serv- ices of a good ball player, and a swell guy, Ron Davis. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. BARRINGTON N. K. loses to the tall Barrington team again 57-43. Although the tall men of Bar- rington took almost every rebound, N. K. never stopped fighting. Ken Anderson was high man for N. K. with 15 points. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. COVENTRY N. K. won the most thrilling game of the season by beating Cov entry 51-49 in three overtimes. Jick Metcalf, who was the big gun'' and hero for the evening, pumped in 18 points. Metcalf came through for N. K. in the third overtime by throwing in a long set shot. Doug Smith, who is credited with saving the game, sunk two foul shots in the last two seconds of the game, thus tieing the game up and starting the first of three overtimes. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. SOUTH KINGSTOWN South Kingstown, who was un- defeated and C champs this year, downed N. K. 74-50. Paul Fry, leading scorer in the state, was high for South with 22, but Ken Ander- son was right behind him with 19. Art McLaughlin was second with 14 points. NORTH KINGSTOWN Vs. CUMBERLAND N. K. wins again 61-46 by over- powering Cumberland in the final quarter. N. K. trailed at the end of the first quarter, 14-12, but gained a 23-all deadlock at halftime behind the shooting of Ken Anderson and Art McLaughlin. Anderson got 16 points, but high honors went to John Wudyka of Cumberland. Art McLaughlin and Doug Smith chipped in 12 and 11 in that order.
