Each and every member of the Class of 1921 leaves to Mr. Lawrence A. Howard, their respected and esteemed principal, the memory of a class ever grate- ful for his guidance and his sincere interest in not only each one of us but also in the Class as a whole. 2.

At the beginning of the year, it was thought by some members of the High as well as by alumni that, due to the greatly increased interest in athletics after a lapse of two years, our Dramatic Club would necessarily become inactive. Another surprise was in store for those persons. This year's dramatic presenta- lion, HIt Pays to Advertise, was one of the best and most successful plays ever staged by the High School. The Class of 1921 deserves much credit for being able to maintain this high pitch of interest in dramatics, against that sudden enthusiasm for athletics, which always attracts such a great deal of attention. Perhaps the greatest novelty of our High School life has been the establish- ing of that which, for two years, N. H. S. had not knowne-a school publication There are many who do not fully realize the importance of a school paper. It is important. Its management develops a greater business ability, one thing which as Seniors we should all have before going out into the world. The neces- sary soliciting of advertisements develops a greater argumentative power as well as a sense of courtesy. The paper itself keeps each department in touch with the other so that the good qualities of each may be seen by the other. It is a medium for news and announcements. The humor section furnishes clean jokes for everyone. Our school paper, 1iThe Echo? was begun in our Junior Year, with the purpose of helping to establish more friendly relations between classes, and to improve N. H. S. We feel that the school has greatly pronted by this little publication; and that as time rolls on, and newer and bigger ideas are introduced, itThe EchoU will be even a greater factor in the life of Norwalk High School. During this, our Senior Year, Kmhe Echoiy has continued as suc- cessfully as last year. It is able to hold its own against any other High School publication of the same size. Such have been the accomplishments of Norwalk High School and of the Class of 1921 during our three years sojourn under the banners of the Green and White. N. H. S. has much for which to be proud. She can be proud that her scholastic record is worthy enough to be placed among the first in' the long list of High Schools in the state. She can be proud that she has a fine orchestra, two large glee clubs, and a school chorus of nearly two hundred students; she can be proud of her active and worthwhole dramatic club; her energetic athletic teams; her lively and up-to-date school paper; and finally of the Class of ,21. Indeed as we, Seniors, consider this record, there comes to us a sense of satis- faction. We feel that we are leaving our Alma Mater not without having done our utmost to uphold her honor, to further her glory. Nor do we believe that we have studied in vain. Our study and activity have done much for us. They have given us a broader idea of life; they have taught us higher ideals. Our High School life has given us an opportunity to put into practical use, the knowl- edge which we have gained during class recitations. It has given us an oppor- tunity to see our true selves, and to conquer our faults; for above all, we have amumImmmmImunuummumnImmmmmImmmmnmmmuuummnummlmnmlmmuummmummlmlmmml mm imummuuumummmmnImIinImmmmmmnummlmmmmnmmmuummuummuuuumuImullImmmhumum!ImmmmlmmmImmmumumummmm mumIunummmmmim learned that ttHE CONQUERs WHO CONQUERS IeIIMsELFKi 1 I Hlilltllltmlilllllllllllllllillllit qumlmmimunmmmummmummmmuImummmmnmmmmu lizat'luuyimnnnmum' RI: i I ,It . -1 VI! .
