Ncwswriters' Club Although the Newswriters' Club was in opera- tion last year, recognition was not given in the Manet. This year, again under the friendly and helpful guidance of Miss Palmer, we have en- deavored to rebuild in the eyes of the public, a firm, enviable reputation for North and to acquaint fel- low students with the numerous extra-curricula ac- tivities in the school. Each of our more than thirty reporters has written articles under titles ranging from Sideline Passes to 'The Late Christopher Bean. Interesting articles written by the student body also were welcomed for publication. To further familiarize students with our activi- ties, we conducted our intensive publicity cam- paign with our members posting, in all senior high homerooms, each News from North column as it appeared through the courtesy of the Quincy Pa- triot Ledger. In addition to our own columns, other articles of interest to North students were posted on our new bulletin board on the third fioor. For our officers, we elected Bob Mahn, editor: Mildred Poch, assistant editorg and Jean Leary, publicity manager.

Our very successful prom this year was due to the work of a small but untiring group of seniors. They comprised the Prom Committee and were re- sponsible for taking care of decorations, securing an orchestra and carrying out the hundreds of de- tails that must be attended to in order to make a prom successful. These members were chosen from a list of all the seniors, obtained from the various homerooms. Each of the class officers was asked to check the names of the pupils he thought would be best fit- ted for the committee. The people getting the most checks were selected. The senor class extends its hearty thanks to the following seniors who, through their untiring ef- forts, provided a wonderful evening for all.

The Bowling Club has been a long and out- standing favorite of many students at North since 1934. Each year everyone anxiously awaits the opening day of the season, and this year proved to be no exception. Early in October students assem- bled in Room 106 to sign up, and at that time the club's able sponsor, Mr. Sylvia, informed the group that meetings would be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Norfolk Bowling Alleys. Mem- bership includes students from grades seven through twelve who are interested. Approximately seventy members enjoyed sociable afternoons par- ticipating in this active, healthful sport during the past year. The usual custom of annual summer out- ings to Nantasket had to be abandoned for the du- ration of the war. Bowling Club 'ivxslkw
