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

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.

V4 .f f Y 42 3 V: ' 5 5 A ' 1 Q Under the sponsorship of Senor Juan Guillermo Walsh the Club Caballero, the first Latin American club in North's history, was born this year. Its two-fold purpose is to inspire greater inter- est in Latin American culture and languages and thus to develop better understanding of the Pan American nations. Membership is limited exclusively to students of the Spanish language who are passing the sub- ject with a grade of HC or better, and who are genuinely interested in things Latin American. The activities of the club have included the in- itiation of a new type of dance called the Fiesta. The Fiesta features, in addition to dancing, the ut- most amount of Spanish atmosphere possible in- cluding Latin American music, bull fights, exotic color, and exciting costumes. Other activities have consisted of frequent meetings, dinner parties, lectures, movies. and dis- cussions. Many of the members are actively in- terested in Spanish commercial correspondence, Latin American periodicals, South American art, popular music, and politics. The officers for this year have been the follow- ing: President-F. FORREST POWERS Secretary-SHIRLEY MARSH Treasurer-WILLIAM C.
