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!

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.

X . 4 - Q9 S, I . I The Library Staff members each work an hour or more during the week to help North meet its academic challenge. Un- der the capable leadership of Miss Buck- ley, they keep the Library's many re- sources available to all and assist other students whenever requested. Being on the staff, however, does not mean all work. Leading the energetic efforts of this year's staff were officers Marie Hedin, presidentg Susan Schurman, vice-presidentg Sarah Whittum, secretaryg and Ann Moore, treasurer. The staff also held its own social events. including the traditional Mothers' Tea in May. In both their library duties and their social activi- ties, the members of the Library Staff have performed a well-organized and efhcient service for the school.

Every school morning at 7:45 in room 415 twenty sleepy language students from grades ten to twelve managed to keep their eyes open in order to learn Russian. Mr. Tanguay, fully as ambitious as his early-rising disciples, led the class in a course taken from the text of Basic Rus- sian and The Living Language Series. The course included grammar. pronunci- ation, and vocabulary of a first-year course in Russian. In addition to acquiring the habits of the early bird, each student had to master an entirely new alphabet. Most of the twenty pupils took the non-credit course as background for further study in col- lege, but all profited from the experience of studying this important foreign lan- guage. In this way our students of Rus- sian have worked diligently to meet the challenge of communication in a shrink- ing world.
