BASKETBALL IN his fourth year as the able mentor at North, Coach Mullarkey, with little or no material with which to work, developed this year a threatening al- though not too powerful hoop machine which completed another hectic season with nine wins in sixteen attempts in interscholastic competition. In this home and home arrangement North failed to down but two schools in its program. These were Quincy High, North's arch-rivals and Tech Tourney- ists this year, and Rockland High, one of the most powerful quintets on the South Shore. The Raiders divided hon- ors with Braintree, VVeymouth, and Wlatcrtown and took double wins from Quincy Trade, Hingham, and Abington. All this season the fans in the cheering section have applauded the excellence of the spectacular exhibits of basketball ability furnished by the Raider sopho- mores, to whom lNIr. llullarkey looks for a Tech bid or two in the coming two years. 4I20l

THREE afternoons every week a group of eager boys and girls may be seen hastening from North as soon as school is over. YYhy are these lads and lassies in such a great hurry? wonders a passer- hy. Were he to follow them he would soon find the reason for their haste, for they only go as far as the Norfolk Bowl- ing Alleys. Here under the able direc- tion of llr. Sylvia, many a bowling champion of tomorrow gets his lowly start. Bowling has become one of the most popular sports during the past few years. No longer is it a man's game for now everyone howls. Bien and women, girls and boys, all take a try at knocking over a few pins. At first these novice howlers make very little work for the pin-boys, but by the end of the year Mr. Sylvia usually manages to turn them into fairly good howlers. The highlights of the howling teams season come with the Tournament in April when they may show how much im- provement they have made, and with the trip to Nantasket which the whole team enjoys. 4 19 BOWLING

'LL THE Rifle Club this year is a group of about twelve boys. Under the able direction ot llr. Beede, these boys shoot every Thursday at the Quincy High School. They hope that by next year they will have a range of their own at the Quincy School. Two rifles and all ammunition as well as targets are pro- vided by the government for the use of the Club. There was some consterna- tion in the Club when they feared for a while that llr. Beede might be drafted. Fortunately, however, he is still with them. Under his direction the boys soon become good marksmen and have shot several matches with other schools. llost of their shooting is done lying flat on the ground but later the boys learn to shoot kneeling and standing as well. The officers are Hunter iNIacDonald, presidentg Jack Ryan, vice-presidentg and Roy Leoppard, secretary-treasurer. 1211 'rl' 'es Y i'iL'7'pf i-'fi-Q' 'w Nw r- Vp, . Ls' - ju K fl .
