CLASS OFFICERS President ....................... Robert Sumner Vice-President .... .,.. H oward Stewart Secretary ....... ..... S hirley Thorpe Treasurer ........ ...,... ..... E d win Ubbens PRESIDENTS ADDRESS We, who are members of the 1943 class of Norwich High School, entered here four years ago as inexperienced Freshmen. We were young and had much to learn. After four years, we are about to graduate. We are still young, but we have had four years of excellent instruction and have all profited. Not only have we been taught the academic subjects, but our bodies have been trained on the athletic fields of old Norwich High. Here too we have learned the principles of democracy. Tomorrow the members of the class of 1943 will be serving their country in a great variety of ways. Many will be in the armed services. Some will be pre- paring for greater taslcs, and there will be members of this class on the foreign battle fronts. ln whatever capacity, on whatever job, the class of 1943 will serve better because of the excellent guidance and training received in these h-alls. It is my privilege to express the thanlcs ofthe class of 'IQ-43 to the faculty, the Board of Education, our parents and friends for the opportunities and guidance we have received here. Your help will make our contributions more valuable. To the classes who follow us, our advice is to take full advantage of the great opportunities and help that Norwich High provides. Robert Sumner

Those three amazing people who have so patiently guided the class of '43 to such a successful climax. -l'hey're always ready with a smile and a helpful hand when we present our many problems. lVliss Stewart abiding in her new office greets you always with ci cheerful, What can I do for you? as she helps you in choosing subjects, jobs or schools with which to plan your future. Our thank-you's come from the heart, Miss Stew- art, as we say, Never will we forget the pleasant hours we spent in your office and may they prove to be the most profitable ones we ever enjoyed, V+ Mr. Gilbert l.yon, our Superintendent of Schools has con- tinually l4ept our standards and ideals high during his five years in our school. Every pupil of Norwich l'ligh recognizes him as a friend to all and a person on whom we can depend for sensible and adequate guidance. Mr. l-logue has come to lcnow some of us very well in the past four years and while he may have had a hard time with us, we feel that from our contacts with him we have gained advice and information that will prove invaluable as we enter the world of today. We have gained a clearer idea of what patriotism and citizenship really mean from our counsels with him, Qur beliefs and ideals will be higher and more worthy as we fight the great battle of peace. To all three of you goes our deepest gratitude for the new ways of life you have opened to us. We shall strive to live and do in the finest ways, that your efforts may not have been wholly in vain.
