CLASS PCDEINA I A narrow beam of light is cast from heaven high above, And silence reigns through Norwich l-ligh where school was our first love. 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. Richard Bullock

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.
