.gil fI 6lI'I'llfLl'a North Side has provided for all braves and squaws a most highly interesting and opportune sports program this past year. For boys not in varsity athletics, there are many ways to develop onels physical powers. There is the Home Room Basketball Tournament staged dur- ing the fall and the Noon League played during the varsity basketball season. There is also the annual Freshman-Sophomore Cross-Coun- try Meet run at the conclusion of the varsity cross-country season. Although not carried out to too great an extent during the war, tennis, under the direction of Mr. Noel XVhittern, has always proved popular to those interested in play- ing. Late in May after the varsity track season is completed, the inter- class track meet is held. This always produces a great deal of rivalry and excitement among the various classes and the outcome is usually debated for a long time to come. For the girls there are many ways to exert energy and slim the Waist- line. Inter-class volleyball, basket- ball. and track tournaments provide the athletic squaws with fun, thrills, and excitement long to be remem- bered.

P eazione gfaued 0 ilaee in A The North Side Lettermen's Club opened the school year with one of the largest member- ships the club has ever had.

Miss Storr has acted as Mom to all North Side Lettermen since the club was formed. The events of the Lettermen's Club are always traditional. There were no exceptions to this fact during the past year.

The orchestra committee, composed of XValter Helmke, Phil XVorley, Tom XVoods, and Bob Staight, secured Dick Pepplels orchestra to play for the event. Al Silk and his committee had the cafeteria gaily decorated for the dance. This being the first year the group has sponsored such an affair since the war began, the fellows really went to work to make the dance a success. Successful it was, as the attendance was large and every person present thoroughly enjoyed the pretty decorations and good music which combined to make The Big 'N' Mixer an outstanding event. Later in the spring, the annual Lettermen Banquet took place in May in our own cafeteria. Coaches and members of the athletic squads of neighboring grade schools were guests at the event. l i
