QUT? THEME The subject for the commencement program this year should be one of special interest since it is concerned mainly with the growth and development of the city of Norwich. The Eagle l-lotel has been chosen as the setting because ol its historical background, which should interest every native of Norwich. Most of the incidents are truly historical with the exception of minor fictitious events and people. The product ofthe bool4worms oi the senior class this year is a historical play in four acts. Each act represents a separate period in this work of art portraying the developemnt of Norwich. The First act talces place alter the original Eagle Tavern was constructed by the Steere Family in 'l8O'I. The First marriage in Norwich livens the scene and is per- formed by a justice oi the peace appointed lor the occasion. The burning ol the original Eagle l-lotel occurs during the second act. This happened on the morning of July 4, 1849. During that period many new indus- tries sprang up, such as the Nlaydole l-lammer Factory, l-layes and Rider piano factory and a blast Furnace company. Act three brings the play up to the Civil War period when there was much ac- tivity in Norwich. The Eagle is the center of all recruiting, so business is thriving. CA plot is introduced concerning the drafting of a very young boy and is completed by a short speech.D Theodore Roosevelt enters the picture in act four, which is the period of the gay nineties. This Flowery period brings in a vaudeville show which gives the act a lively color. To carry out this program the art staff of the Archive has devoted its space to illustrations of Norwich life connected with the pageant. Gilbert R. Lyon... Russell L. l-logue.. Franklin Giltner...

Yes, friends, as we talte our leave of Norwich High School tonight, we fully realize that we are about to face a new period in our lives, and a new period in the history of the world. Perhaps it is a period comparable to the darlc ages, an age of intolerance and brotherly hatred. Perhaps it will be a Renaissance, a rebirth for this troubled world. We are deeply grateful to those about us who have aided the advancement of our education, the development of our minds, and the power of our ideals. You have given us the courage to face the future. We have crossed the bay, the ocean, mysterious, defiant, absorbing, lies before us. Even in the most difficult times there have been flashes of decency to help bring mankind forward. These are the beacon lights of hope for those who sail the turbulent waters of today. Defiantly aware of the storms to be encountered, we proudly sail from the bay to the ocean, our spirits undaunted, our heads held high in anticipation, our greatest wish to malce our Alma lvlater proud of her graduating class of nineteen fortyl Marilyn Berglas. SALUTATORY This evening the majority of us, the class of 1940, will be leaving forever the protecting walls of Norwich High School, those walls which have these many long years, become impregnated with vivid memories of the tears and laughter, hope and despair, joys and sorrows of countless boys and girls, who upon other evenings such as this have found themselves a part of the adult world. We, too, after this happy, yet sad evening will gaze upon the world with the eyes of adults rather than those of carefree youth. And we are just a bit frightened by what we see. ln this world today where chaos is icing and Wanton Destruction his consort, we must have the ability to use all of the lcnowledge and training that our patient teachers and our experiences in this school have taught us. When the tempest which now rages in our war-torn world has exhausted itself, and the two rulers of evil have been dethroned, it will be our responsibility and the responsi- bility of thousands of youths lilce us to talce up the brolcen threads of life and once again weave them into a complete, shiningly-beautiful tapestry of brotherly love, good fellowship, and peace. It is a tremendous and terrible taslc which has been thrust upon the shoulders of the graduating class not only of Norwich High School but of thousands of other high schools and colleges, but if we carry before us into the battles of life the proud standard of ideals and doctrines which our schools have taught us, we shall perhaps one day, successfully be able to complete it. If we ignore these ideals and doc- trines, we shall fail, and if we fail, there is no hope. Now, as we take one last long loolc at the regal purple and white of our beloved Alma Mater, we cannot still the poignant pain that tugs at our hearts. Qur school has become a second home and a second mother to us. For all of the benefits which she has so graciously bestowed upon us we wish to express our gratitude to those who are here tonight and to those whose spirit is here, although they are gone, who have made it possible for us to go forth into the world clad in the shining armor of faith, wrought by the care and lcindness of our school. That armor will aid us in attempting to malce our community, our country, and our world a better place in which to live. Vivian Kiter.

The Class of 1940 now falls into the procession to become one ofthe many classes fortunate enough to be graduated from Norwich l'ligh School. Every opportunity has been given us to equip ourselves with the necessities to talce our place as citizens of the United States who will soon become of age to vote and govern our country. We are deeply grateful for every moment devoted to us by our faculty and friends to give us a solid foundation so that we might start with and l4eep our right foot forward in entering this highly competitive civilization. Our most sincere appreciation and gratitude is extended to Mrs. l'lelen C. Powers, our freshman adviser, Miss Eileen M. Fenwick, our sophomore adviser, Mr. Franlclin R. Giltner, our junior adviser, and Miss Marcia F. Stewart, our senior adviser, who have guided us from day to day throughout our seemingly brief high school life. l, in behalf of the senior class, thanlc the Board of Education, faculty, parents, and friends for the privilege of receiving a high school education. We wish our successors good fortune equal to ours, and feel sure that our Alma Mater will mean as much to them as it does and always shall to us. Sorrowfully and gratefully, we leave our foster parent with the hope that we shall not fail the expectations of those who made this possible.

The books are closed,the work is done and now we say goodbye, Our purple banners wave farewell beneath a crimson sky. But, Seniors, let us make this day, Like others, full of joy and play. The clock of life was wound in peace, Where precious moments never cease. This hour will live when dreams are fading on these years so true, When life has reached its great reward and soars into the blue. We seek to find our way amid a tired and war filled world, To build a greater land beneath the flag that God unfurled. Upon the wind like tiny seeds our ways will quickly part, America, we face you now with love in every heart. Each year has taught us how to meet The bitter sting of first defeat. Qur cheers have echoed down the Field For Norwich men who never yield. With loyal hearts and tireless zeal we earned this sacred scroll, A hand unseen by men on earth has pointed to our goal. y g Ill Oh hear these thanks for leading us along the stormy road, To teachers, friends, and God on high, for helping lift the load. Nor could this goal be reached without a father's helping hand, And most of all a mother's love to make us understand. l-ler lips have brushed away our tears, l-ler fond embrace has vanquished fears, l-ler voice has sounded through the night, l-ler eyes have been our beacon light. So now the story ends until, in some great day afar, The class of Nineteen Forty meets above the evening star.

Griffin Audra Bellinger ADDRESS TCD Tl-TE UNDERGRADUATES As we of the class of T940 prepare to leave this institute for intermediary intelligence, we are more than a little apprehensive. We find ourselves meditating on what is to become of these aged halls when they are no longer blessed by the erudite tread of our feet. We cannot help but wonder what conditions prevailed before Norwich High commenced to benefit from the benevolence and wisdom of ours, the peer of classes. We know that there preceded us by a year a group of capitalists, governed by a sensual and un- mitigated greed for money. We know that to succeed us there is a group which would now be de- bating third terms if tenure in high school were comparable to the presidents four years. That group, the present junior class, was exposed during the past year as having taken up a collection of some 'P cents with the vile intent of thus making their magazine sale a record breaker, all of which smacks of intramural intrigue even more since there is a strong suspicion that eventually Mr. Giltner was forced to furnish 67? out of the 68 cents? fthe remaining one cent being donated from the coffers of a worshipful and misled Freshman class. l-laving seen two new white hairs appear on the head of Mrs. Bell during her office as caretaker for this crowd of conscientious cutups, it is with no little regret that we foresee the demise of the last few black ones on the head of Miss Stewart during the coming year, ln our own clairvoyant way we see the hastening of the departure of these prize possessions by such antics as follow: Ray Myers, using senior study hall as a bowling alley with Janice Spicer, as the pins and Albert Evans as the bowling ball, Morrie, the elegant, and Bill, the elongated, using their inherited influence to turn the learned atmosphere of the aforementioned Senior Study hall into that ofa ubarnesf' Ken Moxley and Dick Ellinwood spending the greater part of their time behind a bowling ball, an ob- stacle which l assure you is much more serious than the eight ball that Simmons uses or the screwballs that Gilladette picks, Ruth Ann Craine spending her senior year in the depths of despondency if the former victim of her seductive power, namely Richard l-lubbard, has the luck to be among the missing, those fugitives from a Hollywood chain gang, Rieta Albert, Carol Carter, Virginia Standish, Marge Fuller, and Betty Browne casually slaughtering the helpless remaining members of the male sex now that the ruling Monarchs are gone, Franklin Callander reaching a consummate satisfaction, the ability to talk in his sleep forcefully, Bub Charters becoming a real he-man in the form of the masked bandit of North study hall, Bib Charters, Mary Margaret Murphy usurping the rule of Mr. Miers and issuing a propaganda sheet on Bolshevism instead of the usual l'li Tribune, Muriel Forsberg going into in- nocuous desuetude, and Dick l'lance conceiving his greatest bit of architectural endeavor in the form of a wooden bathtub for HDucky Drake to paddle around in. So after reviewing what has happened and previewing what is to happen, it is with even greater misgivings than before that we are about to leave and take with us our much cherished powers of perspicacity. To the Freshman and Sophomore classes, we issue due warning to pattern your future actions wholly and solely on the precedents set by the class of 1940, To the senior class to follow, in all seriousness, we say that a true conception of the meaning of graduation from Norwich l-ligh School can only be appreciated from the position in which the class of T940 finds itself at present, and we profess the somewhat futile but extremely sincere hope that you, the class of 'i94'i , may ultimately reach this position. But to the faculty we deem it only fitting, considering our-wont to paraphrase King Louis XVI of France in our feeling of Nafter us, the delugeff that we dedicate the time honored closing, good luck, you'll need it.', Sam Eaton. LJNDERGRADLJATES' IQEPLY Nestled in the cozy confines ofthe beautiful city of Norwich is a large red brick institution housing about 500 industrious people who really want to learn something, but have a hard time doing it be- cause running around loose are some hundred odd inmates who bear the title of Seniors. On this day as the townspeople pass the building on their way to work, they gasp. You ask why' Lo and behold, the building actually seems to rock back and forth. The sides look as it they were about to tall away. Somebody may say, Why all the commotion?H Soon a crowd gathers. A humble Freshman dashes out and explains. The mayor declares a special holiday andthe entire town rejoices as it never has before. A stranger comes into town, sees all the rejoicing, asks the inevitable question and gets the inevitable answer. K Hlhe Seniors are leaving, we hopelu lale too joins in the rejoicing. One of the merchants who is always being pestered by these Seniors, says, UNow maybe we will have some peace around herein Now why is everybody so happy about all this? To begin with the l-lonor Students are so called because they know more about being dumb than anyone else in the school. Then, too, there is an establishment known to more intelligent people as the Norwich Coffee Shop, but known only to these mentally incompatibles as a hash house and a hangout. The honorable proprietor of this distinguished establishment has almost had to use brute force on these thick-skulled morons to make them understand that they want their place of business patronized by the more intelli- gent Juniors and occasionally a humble Sophomore or a lowly Freshman, and not littered up with utimberu. We could call this bunch of escaped lunatics a full three ring circus and then some. Clt must be understood that we do not mean to insult the word circus.D As all circuses have parades, we have one too. Leading this is Big Boy Nluskovitchn Sumner, followed by uRomeo Bealern Aronson fat least he thinks he's another Romeob and last, but not least of the Eternal Threenis Eight Ball Louie Crandall Qthat terrible ruffian from North Norwichl. l also might add that these three are dressed in the same old costume so characteristic of Seniors, a strait-jacket. Following this trio of freaks comes a line of cages, caging such side show artists as Wild Man Bernie Thompson, Handsome Boyn Millspaugh, N25 ball l-lubbard CWhoal Nlistakesl that should be U50 ball l-lubbardb. lf you should see a bunch of Brenda Fraziers of 1950 chasing a member of the Senior Class, that object of attention would be none other than Hplayboyi' l-lotchin. Well, well, imagine that! Look what's coming, last but far from least, is that great-breaker in a padded cell, Ucassanovan Sam Eaton. Oh, yes, we can't forget the side show. l-lere we have such Uoomphn girls as Chaser Jean ireland, 'KVernon, come back to mel Ann Fernald, Marge come and get me Colgate l-lunt, and then, instead of Feet we give you Evelyn Foote. Oh, woe unto the world when these mentally deficients are released! Qld man world may think the European War is bad, but he ain't seen nothin' yet when this bunch, who ought to be in padded cells, hits him. ln all seriousness, we say as bad as they are, they are entering into a terribly diswrought world and we wish them all the luck in the world. Bill Barnes '4'i. HISTORY OF CLASS CDF 1940 2 f he fall of ,36 brought to Norwich l'ligh school one of the most outstanding classes in . it s history. The class of forty consists of one hundred and twenty six hardworlcing i. 4.i: +E?'. 3 ' 2' -2:5 , . . . . . . . . . ' 'ig students with the same idea in mind-to leave Norwich l-ligh with an impressive e record of their accomplishments. 555'-'ffaiif I .': ' ' ' - ' The main achievement of our Freshman year was to get a firm foothold in our new life. We elected Bill Whitney as president of our class and he was assisted by nl L' Vice president, Vivian lfiter,Secretary, Jean Ireland, and Treasurer, Sam Eaton. With the aid of these capable leaders and our adviser, Mrs. Powers, we passed a very successful first year. Qur Sophomore year, advised by Miss Fenwick, was the first of our exceptionally active three years. Under the leadership of President Peter Vasilopoulous: Vice president, Bernice Thompson, Secretary, .lean lreland, and Treasurer Sam Eaton we sponsored one of the most successful dances in the history of Norwich l-ligh. We then added to our activities the selling of magazines and Valentines. When our Junior year, advised by Mr. Giltner, came upon us we taclcled it with enthusiasm and determination. Qur election of officers resulted with Bill Whitney as our President, Vivian Kiter, Vice president, Rose Arria, Secretary, and Sam Eaton, Treasurer. A magazine sale started the ball rolling. A movie benefit and a Valentine sale contributed still more to our treasury. Qur Junior year was completed by the most picturesque and successful Proms ever presented in Norwich l-ligh School. Miss Marcia Stewart was the class adviser for our last year of high school life and our class of- ficers were Bill Whitney, President, Ted Millspaugh, Vice president, Rose Arria, Secretary, and Sam Eaton, Treasurer. Along with preparing the year boolc and planning our commencement exercises we also sponsored a very successful movie benefit. The Junior-Senior picnic brought the activities of the class of 'forty to an end. Each member of the Class of T940 shall cherish the memories crammed in these four short years. Although from here we all take many different roads we shall remain united in these happy memories. Betty S. Griffin, Class of '4O. LAST WILL ccording to the tradition of past years, it is customary to will those things which we VA lu have held dear to the ones left behind when we have passed on to another life. I-5 lhlx Therefore, the class of 1940, being of great intellect, desires to establish and pub- ,I 1- 'I lish our last will and testament. ,-1' , Foremoston our list we leave handkerchiefs to the faculty, to dry the tears that 4 I gg, they will shed when our beloved class has left the halls of Norwich l'ligh School. To the Juniors we leave our dilapidated estate, Senior Study l'lall. To the Freshmen and Sophomores a few of our ingenious ideas. To Ray Myers, a make-up kit so he may look like the glamor boy he thinks he is. We bequeath to the prospective Freshman Class a book entitled Beware of Mr. Bond. To Janice Spicer the privilege of swirling her skirt as Margery l'lunt used to. To Mary Fineron a round trip ticket so that she can reach her daily destinations more easily. To Margery Fuller, our hopes that she will drive with two hands. To Virginia Standish, we leave a carton of L'Smith,' Brother Cough Drops. To Betty Brown, a medal for vamping many bashful boys. Lots of luck to Andy Zaia for a successful football season. We give our consent to HManager l'lance to let somebody tell him something he doesn't know, if that is possible. To Bill Barr a curling machine to that he may save his money and weekly trips to the beauty parlor. To Jim Kent, the title of UShiek. To Rieta Albert, our consent to continue throwing come hither smilesn to the boys in school. To Bruce l-lalberg, a section in Esquire To Dick Ellinwood, first prize in the baby show. To Gordie Drake, a letter of recommendation for Einstein. To Dan Mccary, well, what can we leave? lt's hopeless. We leave a printed pamphlet to Carol Carter entitled uVariety is the Spice of Lifef' To Miss Kirkby we issue a challenge to try and do something with Bill Clarke. To Ruth Ann Craine, a faithful admirer. To George Griffin, permission to visit the Childrenis Shop. To Shirley Williams, as many blind dates as she wants. l-lating to part with them, we leave our beautiful Valentines, purchased in our Sophomore year, to Marge Fuller, Muriel Forsberg, Betty Browne, and Virginia Standish to send to their respective Sweethearts, whoever they may be at the time. Another honorable mention for the faculty is our thanks for their guidance through our years in school and our sympathy, mainly to Miss Stewart, for the gang of rowdies called Seniors they will have to contend with next year. Last but not least our good wishes to Mr. Lyon, and the first and last word in assemblies to Mr. l-logue. Be it known that this document has been signed, certified, and sealed in the presence of the tal- ented graduating class of Nineteen hundred forty. Philip Aronson.

Plans were made to turn the prop room adjoining room nineteen, into a homey little library where members of the club could pursue greater lcnowledge through the study of the drama. Although during regents weel4 it was cleaned up, alter HSpring Fever, a farce in three acts, was produced, it was discovered that nature had tal4en its course and the room had returned to its former state of upheaval. For the First time in many years the Dramatics Society was represented in the spealcing contests of the National Forensic League Sectional Tournament, held at NHS this year. Winding up a busy school year, the exhausted members lool4 baclc upon their efforts with the wish that future Katherine Cornells and John Barrymores of Ni-IS will be highly successful in every dramatic endeavor.

Triumphs were recorded over Cortland, Gloversville, Binghamton North, and Binghamton Central. Norwich was defeated by Auburn and Sewanhaka in the first two games of the season. The lone tie resulted in the game with Oneonta, a team which always seems to play its best against the Beyer- ITIGVI. During the primary stages of the season, everyone lool4ed forward to a poor year, with only five returning lettermen. But again, Mr. Beyer's and lVlr. Coe's sl4illful coaching soon corrected this. lvlany feel that if Norwich had played Auburn and Sewanhalca after the Purple had hit its stride, at least one of these teams would have been defeated. ln a thrilling Govervislle game, Norwich was the heavy underdog at game time. But on that day the Purple seemed to do everything per- fectly, and Gloversville was com- pletely routed. This year's team was inspired by its non-playing captain, Jerry Farn- ham who was lost to the team due to illness.

With many returning lettermen, we all hope that the 'l94'l football team, under captain-elect Andy Zaia, will live up to the brilliant record which is typical of Norwich football teams.

Norwich suifered a handicap early in the season when it lost some players through illness and ineligibility. With seven returning lettermen, the Purple and White expect to have a much better sea- son this coming year, led by captain-elect Ted Millspaugh. Mr. Bradley, who developed a Fine junior- varsity this year, will coach the varsity next year.

John and AI Whaley, and captain-elect Fred Johnson were the team's leading sluggers. Since Coach Giltner developed some fine material the team is Iool4- ing forvvard to a very favorable season in T940 with twelve let- termen returning. Gifford and AI Whaley are the only men who will not return next year. GULF Coach Pendell's golfers com- pleted the T939 season winning 6 matches, tying 'I, and losing 3.

GIRLS' ATI-ILETICS September and October are the months when field hockey and archery are the main sports offered for girls. For an action game, hockey fiIIs the bill and many girls participate for this very reason. In June and October 1939, two teams of five entered the tournament in Syracuse. Peggy Ropes placed as team winner in June, Bette White in October. Both received archery pins in recognition. Basketball vvas the typical winter sport and this vvas probably the most popular sport. First, intramural games were played and a team composed primarily of Seniors were the vvinners. Second, interclass games were played and the seniors were the victors. An annual exhibition basketball game was played the night of the Faculty-Varsity game when the City Slickers and Fanny Farmers took over the limelight. It was a hotly contested game but the City Slickers came through with flying colors by a one-point mar- gin. The score was 'I5 to 14. Softball and archery were the spring sports. Intramural and interclass games were again the main feature. Play Day is an event in the late spring when ten schools from Chenango County get together for a great funfest. Games start in the early morning and end in the afternoon. Ten girls from each school participate in such games as soccer, volleyball, softball, deck tennis, tennis, and archery. This is the first year that a girls ath- Ietic council was organized and it vvas a success in many vvays. A fevv of g these Ways are CID the arranging of the Play ball, Girls point system to be used as a basis for Ietter avvards, and CQD the increasein enthusiasm. The officers and representatives inthis athletic council are as followszpresident - Betty S. Griffin, Secretary-Betty White,Senior Representative-Peggy Ropes, Juniors-sDorothy Burgess, Sophomore - Frances Arria, Freshman-Barbara Gray, I am sure I speak for all Senior girls when I say vve thankfllfliss Nloranffor three years of pleasant association. Miss Moran was a promoter of the Syracuse trips and theioriginator of the Play Day get-togethers.
