llK 'iLX CHFFRI .FADERS North's Big Twelve. A winning scene at the Thanksgiving Game. When vou're up your're up North's twelve cheerleaders, and if necessary the two substitutes, are always at football, basket- ball, soccer, and hockey games, at rallies, at prac- tices, or at someone's house making signs, shak- ers, and pom-poms. Even when they're not busy, some of them study together or work to help boost North's spirit. Under the supervision of head Jean Morrill and sponsor Miss McCoy, the girls are ready and will- ing to do their part for the school. It's their desire to be the best squad ever. This year some interesting changes took place: a new sponsor, new uniforms, and new practices. To the girls' joy, Miss McCoy accepted the re- quest to be cheerleading sponsor. She has done everything possible to make the squad a spirited one. Black wool jumpers now complete the uni- form of red sweater and socks, white blouse, and moccasins. Practice times were also changed from every day outside to two or three days each week in the gym. The cheerleaders completed their job together not only as a group but also as friends. They were the leaders of North's spirit and set new examples for the entire school.

I v A PROM COMMITTEE The Prom Committee debates on the title for the Big Affair. SPIRIT COMMITTEE The challenge assigned to the Spirit Committee, that of keeping North's school spirit high, is two- fold: to maintain our school spirit and to increase it. During the fall, the football-soccer branch of the Spirit Committee. under the chairmanship of Linda Mercadante and Ted Stevenson, encour- aged attendance and cheers for our winning foot- ball team and assisted in the prophetically suc- cessful Thanksgiving Day rally. The winter sports division. led by Shaila Regan and Donald Mc- Nally, rallied the school's support for the basket- ball, hockey, and winter track teams. Spirit for spring sports was sparked by Cathryn Sclafani and Jim Chaisson. Senior Class V.P. Pat Grant coordinated the efforts of the committee. The endless hours of making and putting up posters were well rewarded in the evidence at the games that our spirit was soaring and that the Spirit Committee had indeed surpassed its challenge. Last fall, when other clubs and activities were getting underway, the eight members of the Senior Prom Committee began their job of preparing for that all-important event, the Senior Promenade. Led by co-chairmen Ed Marchant and Joanne Gunning, and aided by Mr. Donahue and the Sen- ior Class ofhcers, the committee planned the prom. set the date and place, chose favors, ar- ranged for printing of the programs, sent invitat- ions to seniors and guests, reserved dinners, and coordinated the arrangements for the approaching big night. Finally, after working together to make the prom a success and handling the inevitable last-minute preparations, on May 22 the members of the Senior Prom Committee joined their class- mates in dancing the night away at the King Phi- lip.

l 9 GIRLS SPORTS ., -.,, ltr..--,-. - Q . 1 .V .1 V, T-x - ...ki A very conscientious American, Miss McCoy continued her fight against flabby females this year with the reorganization of Girls' Sports. The gym was open one or two afternoons each week for tumbling and other stunt work, and North's sportsminded young ladies also perked up when girls' baskeball began. As usual, basketball had a dynamic year, as demonstrated by the enthusiastic participants who played until late every Tuesday and Friday afternoon. In many different ways Girls' Sports contributes to the well-being of the individual and of the school and has become an indispensable part of North's athletic program. The girls' basketball teams are as follows: High- balls, Directrives, S.C.D. Six, Shooting Stars, Bouncers, Stumble Bums, Couseyettes, Backboard Bouncers, Blue Angels, Granny's Greats, Teddy's Tigers, Roving Chickens, Rim Rollers, Dribble Dolls, Basketeers, Sharp Shooters, Rebounds, Chargers, and Dribblers. n 29 Up Judi. up Judi. up, up, up!
