' D1 THE golf team is another sports activity sponsored by our popular football leader Mr. Jack Donahue. At the start of last year's golf schedule, llr. Donahue made a statement to the effect that he was not expecting much of last year's squad be- cause they Were all unseasoned amateurs. Much to the surprise of all, however, the golf team came up in second place in the district tourney and only lost first place because one player was disquali- fied in a single match. From last year's surprising squad there are five out of six letter men returned for action this year. Led by Wheeler Doc Dunbar the team hopes to go to the top this year and should in all probability be an entrant in the State finals in June. The other varsity men are John Noble, Kenny Ertel, Artie Richards, and George Berard, leaving the spot open for the most capable hacker. This should be the second year that North will be repre- sented in the state and if all goes well that should will quickly be changed to His. 4251

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 Brockton has dropped from the Raiders' schedule and has been replaced by Thayer Academy.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

TENNIS THIS year marks a long step forward in net circles with the announcement that the North tennis team has entered the newly formed South Shore High School Tennis League. Blade up of teams representing Braintree, Hingham, Milton, North Quincy, Scituate and Weymouth the new loop promises more exiciting matches and keener competi- tion than has heretofore prevailed. The chances of the Red and Black netmen in this first year of league com- petition are not very bright. Of the crack outfits of the past two years Voach Joseph G. Foy has only one Vet- eran available, the steady Bud 0'Con- nell. Around the slick-stroking Bud an entire new unit must be built and chances of North's success are none too bright this year. Six new players must be chosen from a large group of candidates, none of whom has before participated in a match. Prominent among the candid- ates for berths on the squad are Corliss Graham, Dave Young, Len Purpora, Phil Hirtle, lYarren Nicol, Jack lVIc- Namara, Bob Thompson, Jim Cruk- shank, Jeff Eastman, Fred Haggett, lluir Grant, Paul Suk, Dick lVentling, and Bob Hewins. Bob Jones and John Verity manage the team. We i26l
