Cheer Leaders Do you realize who was responsible for all the cheering done at all our football games? XYhy, of course, it was the Cheer- leaders! Those seven peppy leaders cer- tainly knew how to bring out the tradi- tional North spirit in true form. The foot- ball games and numerous roof raising rallies were planned and directed very successfully bye-Keenie Le Blanc, who had been on the pep squad three years, Shirley XYallace, who had been on two years: jackie Le Bert, Lorraine Treco, Frannie Campbell, Norma Carlson, and, not to forget the man of the squad, Freddie Di Carlo-who were chosen by Mr. Forest and Mr. Wfest this year. Under Mr. Forest's direction they performed tumbling acts rivaling those of any other such group. Some very successful new cheers, developed after many hours of brain-racking, were presented to the stu- dents. Two other members-rather young ones-made their appearance on Thanks- giving Day. Patty Martin and Ann Killory were two adorable but lively future cheerleaders. 'Whether the team was win- ning or losing, North's followers supported their team under the leadership of these sparkling pepsters who directed the noise. -,,,,f' , , I v t ll Q .af 4- if i ll IVVV, . . il , ix xi t.SfQl' tea Fl at i .

J L' ,,.., Intramural Basketball Varsity basketball was banned at North this year, but in its place was substituted intra mural basketball under the direction and guidance of Mr. Rogers. The gym was given to the boys of the high school three nights a week. A league of eight teams, each built around one former varsity basketball player, was formed. The schedule was formed by Mr. Rogers with the help of his student manager, Larry Reid. The league swung into action, and rivalry among the teams soon sprang up. The games, which were filled with action and upsets, were refereed by Neil MacDonald. The league was just developing into husky youthhood when the long Christmas vacation arrived. After the vacation several attempts were made to start the league again but too many of the boys had obtained jobs. However, the boys still interested in basketball had the gym to work out in. Each night teams were chosen and the boys, who were mostly former varsity members, played under Mr. Roger's direction. As time passed and the boys developed, an added incentive loomed on the horizon in the shape of Quincy High. Several attempts were made to schedule a game between the schools. The game was finally arranged and a week was spent in polishing off the teams. The day of the big game started off in an impressive manner when North's jay-vees made up of sophomores defeated Quincy's second team. The team worked as a well-oiled unit and, playing their usual steady ball, were never in serious danger. However, the game amongst the older boys proved the highlight of this year's basketball. The teams, made up of the boys who probably would have represented their school in varsity basketball, battled to an exciting and nerve-breaking tie. Led by the shooting of Buster Seager, North jumped into an early lead. The game was close and in the closing minutes Quincy tied the score at 24 all. In the three-minute overtime both teams played cautious basketball and watched each other like cats waiting for an opening. The last few minutes were full of nerve-wracking basketball. Temper flared amongst the spectators in the heat of the contest and the end of the overtime still found the score tied. The game was then stopped and called an even contest. Intra mural basketball then continued for several more weeks and the boys played some interest- ing and exciting games amongst themselves to wind up the season.
