But now as we go into the world, we ail look back through the three years of High School and 11take an inventory? as it were, of what has been accomplished for ourselves and for N. H. S., for the worth of a school is measured by its scholastic attainments and by the accomplishments of its various organizations. In order to be successful in later life we must be strong in both knowledge and the ability to put into practical use that which we know. Therefore it may be seen that the Class of 1921 and the entire school must rank high in the so-called Soutside activities as well as in scholastic ability. It is this necessity that impels us, in our love for our Alma Mater, to consider the accomplishments of Norwalk High School during the past three years; those, particularly, in which we, the Class of 1921, have taken promi- nent part. The fme scholarship record of the High School can not be doubted when a class of eighty is being graduated, with diplomas signed by its'superintendent and principa1,Esignatures which mean, ttFit to undertake the great responsibil- ities of American citizenship. Such classes as these has the N. H. S. been giving America since the school has existed; and although our class is not the largest, our Alma Mater and we. ourselves, may well be proud that it is one of the largest. The names of many of our classmates have often adorned the honor roll. Our school has always been well represented in interscholastic competitions; and members of the Class of :21 have often carried N. H. S. to the fore. But probably the most clearly shown change and the most directly felt one has been the growth of the various activities. During the three years which we have spent under the Green and XVhite, there has been a great rebirth, a glorious VRenaissanceW This re-awakening has taken place in Music, Athletics, Dra- matics and in School Journalism. When we entered Norwalk High as Sophomores, we found musical work at a standstill; nothing was being accomplished. For three years, now, under the leadership of Miss Mary C. McCarthy, Norwalk High has been winning a great name through the hne work of its Orchestra, Mandolin Club, Glee Clubs and School Chorus; through its wonderful musical concerts, in which over two hun- dred students have taken part each year. The Musical of 1921, on a much larger scale than previously, attracted even more interest than any previous musical recital of the high school. The grand awakening in athletics occurred in our Senior Year. N. H. S has had a successful year in football, basketball, and baseball. Track and Hockey also have been more successful than in the past two years. In our Sophomore Year, athletics was quite alive but it was not a great b1aze,-only a small Hame. 1919-1920 seemed to cast a cloud over us, and the flame became only a struggling red glow. But this year, there came a blast of wind from beneath; the glow became a name and once more. the blazing spirit of N. H. S. pushed its way to victory.
