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.

On a warm afternoon of last fall the or- der of the day was dungarees and shirts, for approximately sixty girls were embarking on their first activity of the year, a picnic in Squantum .... Then, just before Christ- mas vacation, clad now in ski suits and boots, they presented their annual Christ- mas play, which is always written by one of their own playwrights and presented by their own future actresses .... ln the early part of February, having changed dungarees and ski suits for flowing gowns, they are attending their Valentine semi-formal, Belles and BeauX . . . Still another change of clothing came in March when the girls presented the Splash Party. The aquatically minded girls wore their prettiest bathing suits. The Splash Party provided in addi- tion swimming, dancing, ping pong, and other indoor sports.
