- 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

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.

NURSES' CAREER CLUB Janet, Joan, and Gerry anticipate a world-shaking discovery as Miss Gray probes into what makes Pete tick. The Nurses' Career Club through its varied activities is achieving its main purpose: to direct North's future nurses toward the field of nursing most suited to each of them. Under the direction of Miss Gray, the girls and the oflicers, Gerry Lemaire, Maureen Devine, Janet Kirkland, and Joan Lundgren, are learning much about the nursing profession and at the same time are per- forming tasks that symbolize the life they have chosen: a life of service. The girls learned tangibles about a career in the U. S. Services at the student nurse program that was presented to them by Lt. Cmdr. Perron, Lt. Ianacone, and Capt. Murphy of the Armed Forces. Knowing that many adults want to help them, these future nurses have acquired a Charit- able spirit themselves. At Christmas they adopted a family of six whose father was unemployed. The girls collected money and gifts to help this family have a happy holiday. Both in giving and in tak- ing the Nurses, Career Club has developed a spirit that is making many favorable impressions. R it t'ff-v. i Making sure the patient is comfortable, Miss Gray checks the effectiveness of Mary Ann's first aid on Susan. 15
