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.

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

3 l Many of the girls find enjoyment after school in participating in Girls' Sports. Since little pub- licity is given these activities, all who participate do so chiefly for the recreation. Many have a great deal of talent. Doubtless North would be extreme- ly proud of their girls if there were competition with other schools. The increasingly popular game of ping-pong draws a crowd on two afternoons a week all through the year. Under the instruction of Miss McCoy many experts are trained. In spite of the cold weather, the girls are able to splash and swim at the Quincy Y. M. C. A. A number of the girls Gnd pleasure in playing badminton in the Gym during the winter, and out- doors when Spring weather arrives. For those who are extremely active there is basketball. Some of the girls have much ability and would be a considerable threat to the boys' team. Another game for the more enthusiastic girls is softball. It is scheduled bi-weekly during the Spring with Miss McCoy as umpire. The Bowling Club is a popular organization which enjoys the honor of the largest membership in the school. Bowling is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays under the supervision of Mr. Sylvia. North is indeed lucky to have so excellent and extensive an extra-curricula athletic program for its girls. .
