HI-Y It is Tuesday night and the clan is gathering. A little horse-play in one corner, and a bull session in another slow down and come to a halt as the last ones come in. Then the meeting begins. Gentlemen, we have tonight as guest speaker Mr. ootssosso os..s..,o.,ss - Thus it is that President Steve Erwin conducts a typical I-li-Y meeting at the Quincy Y.M.C.A. Or, perhaps there is no guest speaker: in this case, there might be a group dis- cussion among the boys concerning one of the topics sug- gested by the sponsoring institution. Then. sometimes, these Junior and Senior boys from North meet jointly with a similar group from a neighboring high school. And just think-no girls allowed! What? You think the boys might miss the girls? Well, I guess they do a little, for along with the rights, privileges. and obvious advantages of being a stag club, the boys have found a way to eliminate the disadvantages. Occasional joint meetings with North's Tri-Hi-Y are looked forward to, of course, like summer vacations. Even better, though. are the annual dances. A TRI-HI-Y Early last September, if you saw a group of girls wander- ing around school with thoughtful. perplexed expressions on their faces, you could probably tell that those girls were thinking up various stunts for the initiation of the poor new Tri-Hi-Y members. The initiation, however, wasn't so bad as it sounded, and it surely started off a memorable year of good times for the girls. The purpose of this organization is to establish a better soul, mind, and body in each girl: consequently, all the girls' activities and fun are based on this triangle. That fun can be mixed with education the girls found out through listening to Shirley Cain's exciting talk on her unique visit to Paris, and seeing timely movies at almost every meeting. For pure fun, these lucky girls arranged most enjoyable record hops with the Hi-Y's of both high schools. a splash party which, though held in early, cold March, held plenty of fun for everyone, and an Alumni meeting which gave the past Tri-Hi-Y members a chance to see how this younger generation was carrying on for them. Away from home, six of the forty-five loyal members tramped to the Reading Convention for Tri-Hi-Y's. But. from the remarks that were heard, the trip was well worth it, because nothing could touch the fun they all had there. Largely responsible for this entertaining years are these: Advisor, Mary Sherriff Sponsor, Miss Sawitsky President, Rita Marocco Vice-President, Peggy Ann Butler Secretary, Elsie Hannon Treasurer, Patricia Holler J V ,tv

RIFLE CLUB On certain afternoons we can hear strange noises coming from the Quincy School. Being curious, we decide to inves- tigate. Look out! They're armed! There's Mr. Beede. ls he training kids for guerrilla warfare? Oh, l know-it's the Rifle Club practice. A little questioning reveals that it is here one of North's most popular clubs holds its meetings Perhaps the na- ture of these meetings in part accounts for the club's popu- larity. Here the guys and gals Qyes, sirlb shoot the 22's and compare targets. With the newly renovated range, a large number of riflemen can shoot at one time. The club prac- tices are the meeting places for both novice and marksmen. The goal of all faithful North sharpshooters is a place on the Rifle Team. The best of the club members get to com- pete with Quincy, Braintree, Malden, and Melrose for shooting honors. With such men as Joe Curran, Julian Whitney, Red O'Brien, Bob Colligan, Perry Smoot. and Roger Hanson, the team this year is one of the best ever. BOWLING CL B Yippee! a strike! I-Iurrayl a spare! Hal this makes my average l26! On Monday and Thursday afternoons tlfese cries issue from the doors of the Norfolk Downs bowling alleys, but not very often. No, we don't pretend that the Bowling Club produces crack shots to whom strikes and l26 aver- ages are usual things, but we do maintain that it provides a lot of fun for a lot of girls. In fact, the Bowling Club has the distinction of being one of the few clubs whose mem- bers don't have to be coerced into coming to meetings. Since Novembersixteen teams with six girls on each have been gathering at the alleys to curse the pins, the ball, the foul line, the warp in the alley, the szorekeeper, and the other teams. In spite of these obstacles, the girls have succeeded in producing high scores up to 1 12 at the time of this writ- ing. For incentive, little gold pins shaped like the number 300 are awarded for scoring a total of 270 points in three strings.
