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.
