THE Riding Club is one of North's most aetive organizations. Indeed it has beeome so popular that it now has three divisions: beginners, intermediates, and advanced riders. The members ride once a week in the spring and fall through the beautiful bridle paths of the Blue Hills. In the fall, Ferguson's Riding .teaderny golds a gymkhana in which the girls eornpete in a horsemanship contest, play Going to Jerusalem and have balloon battles, egg-on-a.-spoon races, and costume relays'-all on horse- baek! On their last ride in the spring, the girls ride up to fliiekzmtawbut, which gives a grand View of the neighboring hills and the ocean. l23l

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 '

BASEBALL NORTH QUINCYS baseball coach. Harold Forest, looks forward to a pretty good season this year although there is a grave scarcity of material resulting from last year's graduation. The only lettermen from last year's varsity nine are Artie Smith, the only veteran hurler, George llerrill who established an en- viable batting record last year, George Wallace, also a good man at the plate, and Bill Gardner, the only infielder who is sure of his position. The catching will probably be taken care of by Eddie Swindler, and George llerrill, who also has eyes on that spot behind the plate, will probably be back in the outfield. Artie Smith will form the basis of the hurling staff and will be aided by John lYhite, Joe Andrews, and Paul O'Brien, while Bob Sager may help before the end of the season. The schedule this year will be the same as in the past with one exception. Brockton has dropped from the Raiders' schedule and has been replaced by Thayer Academy. llilton, Weymouth, Braintree, and, of course, Quincy, will complete the North docket with, we all hope, a majority of victories for the Red and Black. .4 W .Q 4 , Amiga uf, ' -NVE w Q ,:,f1,f5'fS' a 'fo , i241
