Bowling Club The Bowling Club, under the direction of Mr. Julius Sylvia, meets every Wednesday, Thurdsay, and Friday at the Norfolk Bowling Alley. This year the total membership, including boys and girls, was about 180. Mr. Walter Warriner had charge of the boys. In past years the club has participated in tournaments and competitions, and it also held an outing at Nantasket at the end of each season, but this year, due to present war conditions, such plans were curtailed. Outstanding senior bowlers were David Mac- Kinnell with a high three string score of 325, Shirley Jackson with a high three string score of 318, and Miriam Harding with a high single string score of 120. The popularity of this activity is evidenced by the fact that the membership of the club seldom decreases and the enthusiasm of the bowlers continues throughout the entire season. i271

Student Secretarial Staff The Student Secretarial Staff is comprised of senior girls in the Commercial course, who are willing to devote free time to assisting members of North's faculty. The purpose of the work is twofold: first, to give the girls practical business experience, and second, to be of service to the school. Each girl is assigned as a secretary to a teacher, and it is her duty to perform the tasks which the as- signed teacher may have for her. These tasks include clerical and stenographic duties, such as filing, taking dictation, typing, and running duplicate copies on the Mimeograph and Ditto. Secretaries are also as- signed as afternoon assistants to the principals of the Quincy, Squantum, Montclair, and Wollaston schools. The staff will certainly be missed Whenrjune comes, as they have done creditable iiivork. North Quincy High is to be commended for giving the Senior commercial girls the opportunity to profit from this valuable experience. i261

l Senior Class Pla The Senior Class Play, Tons of Nfoney, under the direction of Mr. john S. Hofferty, was easily the high-light of the winter social season. Jimmie Spillane, the hero of the piece, had the audience roaring at his antics. Kleanth Dusopol was the beaut- eous blonde heroine and june Miller, dark and dangerous. was a tender, forgiving wife to three hus- bands. Virginia Blair, in her role of the Spinster aunt, was outstanding, and Patricia Waite as a Cockney parlour-maid, Walter Fultz as an English butler, and Joseph Meehan as the gardener did much to evoke mirth from the overflow audience. Paul Sweetser as the solicitor and Wilton Hayes and Sherrard McKenzie in their dual roles helped to complicate matters. Lillian Carroll Worked hard and faithfully as prompter, and the all-important back-stage Work was handled by Frank Reardon, Mildred Royce, Virginia Gleason, Robert Leader, Ross Connor, William Martinez, and Herbert Olson. i23l
