rapidly flailing arms will appreciate the previous statement. In any ease tliev did their iob well, piling up as lngli as .12 pomts in one game: and so another basketball season. the last for many of ns at North. is but a memory. X7- QWQ71- f 1:4 'tl V ,v A 1. .gi ' st. shooting such sport. You never know what you have till it's too late to make a change. l'nlike a football or basketball game. a shooting match docs not seem to draw spectators, which is probably just as well. There is little to sec, and THE RIFLE TEAM HIS year marks the first that our rifle team has won a place for it- self among the varsity sports. Mr. Beede has undertaken the task of managing the team. This is a job requiring patience and time. The boys started out with the idea of hav- ing a delightful time blasting away government ammunition at a small cost to themselves. The results were much the same as if we had manned a cannon with grapeshot instead of using a rifle. Once we had tasted the bitter pangs of inglorious defeat at the hands of the boys in blue and white, the team began to settle down to the task at hand. Soon the effects were notice- able. At one match, the North team burst forth with a seore which to say the least amazed all. linfortunately what goes up must come down, and so did the team, but that is what makes our nerves are generally pretty jumpy without the aid of an audience. It is none the less, a fine sport, and the team sincerely hopes to become a credit to North. ARCHERY SHOT an arrow into the air: it fell to earth I know not where. How very descriptive of the new eomers to North's archery club. In September Hr. C'lark is kept busy instructing llis new girls in the rudiments of archery. The air is thick with the errant arrows sprung from the bows of would-be archers, and if any arrows at all hit the target it is by accident. Later in October the club, driven by the cold, retires to the indoor gallery at the Quincy school. There, hid from the eyes of the world, a goodly amount of earnest effort is put towards improvement.

SWIMMING CLUB Ducks like water, fish can't live without it and there's another group of life that likes water almost as 111ucl1 as the fltlCkSmtll21t'S North's girls. Once 11 week tl1e members of the swimming Clllb jaunt gaily up to the Quincy Y. ll. C. A., for their Weekly plunge. They learn to dive, do many different strokes Ellltl most important of all to swim! If you should see a sweet young thing swimming at XYollaston Beach and trying to do the backhand stroke face down, Why you can tell at once she doesn't go to North. But! If you should see a very skillful swimmer go up to her and show her how to do the stroke the right way-XYhy, of course, the skill- ful girl is a member of North's Swim- ming Club.

The Glee Club did something dif- ferent for a production this year. It was a cantata Joan of Arc with feature singers as soloists. Blanche Haskell, Graton Howland, and VValter Kidder were these soloists. On the heels of this performance came the State and New England music festivals. Oh, how hard it was to get up and take a bus in the vicinity of 6:00. After such hard and long days the members agreed that it had been worth all the Work put into it. Because they were in class A they had plenty of competition, Having recovered from such fever- ish activity, said organization found that school was all over. How did the year go so fast? That is the question all the busy members of the Glee Club are asking. 1 1 Page Q1
