,Gas 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 0 0 0 C6155 .JQ45fory BY SHIRLEY HHUWN ANU GERALD SHERMAN We entered North High in the fall of 1944 and remained until June of 1948. This was quite a term, but then that's life. Classes come and go in ole N. A. but we're sure we'll leave a lasting impression in the minds of the faculty ffavorable, of courselj Many a long hour they asked us to remain after school for our charming company. Now, to get down to brass tacks, we will point out some of the highlights of the brilliant record we leave .... Our freshman year, to be truthful, was mentally exhausting. Every upper class' man, the seniors in particular, would give us a quizical stare which seemed to' say, What strange creature standeth before mine eyes? However, we managed to pull through the crisis with the able assistance of Arthur Ross, as presidentg jean LaRosee, as VicefPresidentg Carol Tennant, secretary, and Gene Nardelli our treasurer. We were youngg we were awkward, and we may have had our playful moments but we were envied. Ours was the first Freshman class in ten years to have a dance. That proves that you can't keep a good man down. Speaking of good men , we had quite a few in the field of sports. Chuck Ciolfi and Arthur Ross represented us on the gridiron. Gene Nardelli, Albert Desilets and Chuck Ciolfi were on the court with Harry Azarian, Ciolfi, Dick Deschenes, Gene Nardelli, Jerry Sherman, and Jack Rioux surrounding the baseball diamond. The girls' basketball team was composed of such notable characters as Mae Allinson Alma Bishop, BettyfLou Johnson, Shirley Brown and Carol Tennant. Mae Allinson also starred in volley ball. Out on the softball field were Terry Courtemanche and Caroline Girard. Our second eventful year found Herbert Chuck Ciolfi at the reinsg Jean LaRosee for a second term as VicefPresidentg jackie DeBlois as Secretary and Gene Nardelli again as Treasurer. page fwenfy-Ave
