Y fa 419141 Semefllea SENIORS, awake and arise all you club fiends, sports hounds, and onlookers-'tis the first semester of your year book. I hear some gentle voices piping through the air, Oh, goody I'm in this part, while others sob, 'O'h, dear, I'm left out. But never fear gentle reader we won't leave you out. Let us walk about the building and in our first semester lo! we find the band and orchestra, not forgetting the Glee Club, our faithful and everpresent musical groups. And peeking around that corner we see the candid camera fiends of the Photo- graphy Club, who, perhaps, are photo- graphing the talented stars of the Class Play. Of course, all those girls wandering around eouldn't be any- thing but the Girls' Club, busily en- gaged in getting ready for the Semi- formal Dance. But, ah, what's this sudden noise? No need to worry, just look at the happy faces-it's the joint meeting of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. At lunch we see various stu- dents hither and yon, wiping off table, Page 'I4 what else but the cafeteria squad? and other students gently but firmly repelling students who would drop papers on the ground-what else but the Grounds patrol? The solemn group of males and females who diligently ponder over problems of state, are the members of the Student Council. If we transport our minds by hard concentration to scenes beyond our school we see the happy, hard- hitting members of the Horseback Riding Club, and down by the Briny Deep, we find North's Sailing Club as they gallantly find a Life on the Ocean Wave. As we are about to leave the building, we suddenly re- alize our need for a good book and we are assisted in finding one by the cheerful members of the Library Staff and as we leave, we are politely escorted to the door by the members of the Traffic Squad always on the alert to help. YYe wish we might con- tinue our Wanderings but time flies and we must depart.

FOOTBALL HE past season has heen a most sueeessful one for North's foot- hall team quite to the amazement of all. So successful was it, in fact, that the team won the South Shore Vham- pionship. This was no clouht a sur- prise even to the eoaeh, Mr. Donahue who preclietecl that the hoys woulfl he lucky to win half ol' their seherlulerl games.

There were only four veterans on the team anfl every other hoy was a new- eomer. XYhen linefl up against eertain of their opponents, it lookeal like eleven Davicls in reel ancl hlaek clefi- antly faeing eleven fioliaths. llow- ever, the team hail hrains, anfl were fast. They userl the taeties of a ear in preferenee to the methorls of a steam- roller. It took plenty of goorl harfl work on the praetiee fielfl to get the eo-orflina- L.. 05a l tion, teamwork, anrl skill which this year's Eleven showerl Voaehecl hy llr.
