' sk-. . . f ' 2. , 'V :QE RIFLE CLUB Cries of XVho's next? , Sign up for me , and Hlilll on the first order issued from the basement of the Quincy School to announce the arrival of another eventful season for North's Rifle team. The first few weeks were spent in setting up the range and in acquainting the new members with the intricacies of the guns Qsome of the newcomers acted as if the guns were about to bite themj. Then the regular schedule of weekly meetings went into full swing. Before the Christmas vacation, the team was privileged to move over to the Squantum School, where a larger and better-equipped range was available. One of the team's long awaited honors, letters for the girls who qualify in a certain number of matches, has been approved this year, and the girls are cer- tainly proud that they may finally wear an N for Rifle participation. As in the past, the club engaged in a great deal of outside competition. Each month the members fired at targets, the scores of which were entered in the National Postal Matches at XVashington, D. C. Since the results were then compared with those from every part of the United States, they were anxiously awaited. The big Rifle matches with Quincy, Malden, Melrose, lVakefield, Ran- dolph, and Braintree provided the team with a chance not only to match its skill with the greats of the other teams, but also to leave school early. Adviser, Mr. Burgessg president, Philip Goodwin, vice president, David I-Iarveyg secretary, Janet Andersong treasurer, Edward Blinn. 5 X1 0 ,I Q S -, o f x.. . .. 114 ..- N..

FOGTBALL Although North had one of the smallest squads in numbers in the history of North Quincy football, Coach Donahue's Red Raiders of 1950 turned in some outstanding performances that will not soon be forgotten. Difficulties in scheduling games did not add to North's chances of success. However, practice day after day paid off as North dug in to prepare for the big game each Saturday. After losing the opener to Braintree by a score of 25-O, North bounced back and handed Dedham a defeat to the tune of 8-6. This was one of Northls best- played games of the season. In the next game, North pitted its strength and skill against X'Veymouth and did a creditable job by scoring two touchdowns against the Class A State Champions. After the final whistle in the game against Norwood the Raiders walked off the field with a 13-6 victory. The plague of all coaches, injuries, took its toll among the key men in the line-up. North dropped its next two games by identical scores of 31-13 against Milton and Cambridge Latin. The next task for Coach Donahue and his team was that of turning their attention to the annual game against Quincy. In one of the hardest fought and best played games, the Raiders from the north and the Blue and YVhite were all even at the half. However, a lack of reserves began to take effect in the third and fourth period as Quincy scored three touchdowns. In spite of the fact we lost by a score of 20-0, the game will be remembered because of the all-out performance of the team. The Red Raiders were captained by Dean Larson, who combined his ability in signal calling with his fighting spirit in sparking the team in its offensive drives. Others who turned in outstanding performances in the backheld were Bill McKinnon, Dan Mahoney, Paul Deane, Tom Radley, Doug McLeod, and Bob Tufts. In the line, North found its Rock of Gibraltar in All-Scholastic tackle 'loin Neville, who played an outstanding game all year and ended up with an excellent showing against Quincy. The ends ol' the line were played by dependable players in Bill Seller, Bud McMasters, and .foe Mcfiillicuddy. The others who opened up the holes for the backfield and stopped the opposition's drives were George Nestor, 'lim lliliona, Ralph Ryan, Bob Miller, Bob Benson, 'john XVhite, and ,lint lloyle. The lflhll squad was one which, in spite of the fact il did not have the best record in history, never gave up until the final whistle.
