RIFLE CLUB Casual pedestrians passing Atlantic Junior High on a Monday night will never forget their startled impressions of the ping-ping of North's Rifle Club at its weekly practice. Sponsored by Mr. Bur- gess, the club is headed by Craig Jackson, president, James Gorm- ley, vice-president, Barbara Apsit, secretaryg Richard Quaglia, treasurer, and Richard Shovelton, range master. Once a week, the spirited members of this club get together determined to sink Mag- gie's drawers in favor of raising a bullis eye. Anyone observing prac- tice in full swing can readily see the seriousness of these men on the range as they perfect their skills in handling a rifle. After a few nerve-wracking minutes of trying to Hhit the bull's-eye,', the mem- bers relaxg small groups can be seen in deepest concentration as they score and compare targets. Regardless of the results-most of which merit sharpshooters' medals-every member, from the green- est beginner to the most experienced veteran, has a good time. All in all, North is proud of its sharp-shooting rifle club. 13 The range high-scoring record is in peril as Betty proudly computes her score. Hoping that the bullet's impression will be limited to the balanced ap- ple, Craig winces as Bill plays twen- tieth-century William Tell-much to the horror of Cynthia, Carol, and Virginia.

RTH Spirited Jeanne, Deb, Lin, Lou, and Mr. Roberts preside over the Student Council suggestion box. STUDENT COUNCIL Just as the sun is rising, the sleepy members of the Student Council make their way through the empty North corridors to the meeting in Room 224. These Thursday morning meetings at 7:45 are headed by President Louis Malzone, Vice President Debbie Anglim, Secre- tary Linda Peterson, Treasurer Jeanne Giallongo, and are supervised and guided by faculty adviser Mr. Roberts. This year's Council members have run three successful dances, have sold North banners, bookcovers, stickers, and decals, have sponsored a bus for one of the football games, and have decorated the school for Christmas to show that North has Christmas spirit as well as school spirit. In addition, members have run several assem- blies, have attended regional conferences to improve Northis council, and have started the Student Council Service Plaque, an award to show the schoolls appreciation to teachers who have given much of their free time to North. Thus the Student Councilors have done more than help North's spirit by selling North articles and sponsoring a football bus. They have shown their own spirit in their willingness to give up that extra half-hour of sleep every Thursday and in their readiness to spend their time and energy in working for the Student Council and for North Quincy High School.

- Officers Lou, Fred, Steve, Paul, and Pumpsie enthusiastically plan Key Club activities. Under the spirited leadership of Mr. Paul Carlin, faculty advi- sorg Fred Ritchie, president, Paul Gullicksen, vice-president, Lou Malzone, treasurer, and Steve Ricciardi and Dick Paone, secretar- ies the Key Club has compiled an impressive year of service. From the weekly Wednesday dawn meetings in Rm. 206 came the highlights of our 1961-1962 season: helping the Retarded Chil- dren's School in Quincy, conducting a get-out-and-vote campaign, polishing the schoolls trophies, sponsoring dances to honor Northls athletes, holding a parent and teacher appreciation banquet, and presenting awards to outstanding citizens. The diversity and success characterizing the program of the Key Club have served to carry effectively the spirit of North Quincy High School both to the student body and to the community. KEY CLUB Practicing what he preaches, Charly helps carry through the Key Club's support of North's dress-up campaign. 14
