'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 .

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

WVHEN you see several eager girls going up to the Quincy school at two-thirty, after school some night, it isn't because they were sent back there to learn their ABC's. No, they are one of the several groups that go there after school one night a Week to practice a cupid act. After the first three or four lessons under lNIr. Clark's excellent instruction, the beginners can count scores instead of just finding out how many times they hit the target at all. lVhen the warm weather comes the girls go out on the front lawn. They try to get in enough practice before this great event so that they will not look too foolish as they are watched by many of the students who come out'later than QA5. These fair RobiniHoods:have a grand time shooting and all agree with enthusiasm that archery beats all sports for real fun. lihlk.. ' W i22l '
