THE MIRROR 15 GLASS POEM 0! Norwood High, the Class of '21 Soon to be numbered with the vanished throng, Recalled but dimly with the passing years. For the-last time salutes theeeto pass 011, To higher goals, to greater hopes and fears. For four years we have gathered in thy halls, And now that all the linal tasks are clone, With one more glance will we review the past And think on all the laurels we have won. We do not claim to have the highest class, As far as grades and conducts are concerned; How often we recall sharp reprimands, For jokes attempted and for tasks unlcarned! But, we have stood with all our power and zeal, For honor in all things that we have done- In athletics and in scholarship, Therels glory for the class of ,21. I11 after years if fame to us may come, Let us remember then to share the praise With those to whom all gratitude is due; The faithful teachers of our high-school days. Oh! Norwood High, the class 0f 21, Adds still another record to thy rolls; Maj each new year add glory to thy name, And place new honors on thy shining scrolls. We. thy departing graduates, offer thee, As our last pledge, eternal fealty. EDITH IVlNGS, GRACE MORGAN.

THE MIRROR 17 CLASS HISTORY. 1921 Time-September, 1917. PlaceiNorwood High. The CIass-June, 21. According to the precedents, our class was just as green as any other class. But some of us were very wise. for they had been in the building Since the Allison Street School Ere, and had found out how to act. All his- tory has three periodseearly life, middle years and later years. This history shall conform to that as far as possible. EARLY LIFE. First yeareNone of us will ever forget that sunny morning in Septem- ber when school opened. A great number of us decorated the halls for many minutes. Then we went to the auditorium. We learned just how green we were. A hundred and hfty-five in number were we. We were assigned to our home rooms after finding Hwho was who, and what was where. Our class being very large we were grouped into five different divisions: Com- mercial, Domestic Science and three General divisions. We were soon ad- mitted into the sacred portals of learning by ways of the First Year Latin book. Ancient history, where we learned that the ancient women had used rouge and lipsticks much to our great horror, and found our way into the delightful mysteries of Robert Louis Stevensonis NTreasure Island. During this year, Miss Sutor, our English teacher, left for a half year and Miss Cellarius took her place. We must not forget to mention that wonderful welcome given by the Seniors to us. There was quite a wonderful program and great eats. SECOND YEAR. Feeling quite sophisticated, we returned for our second year, our num- ber being reduced to hundred and one. Here were tortures of Geometry, with which the General divisions were inHicted. The D. S. girls got out of it, only to find it in their senior year, when the more matured brain could better cope with it. The Commercials struggle with the hieroglyphics of shorthand. And last but certainly not least, HGallia est onmis divisa in partes tres. tNeither French, not LatinJ LATER YEAR. Third yeareThe third year marked the crucial movement in our career. We held our first class meeting and elected Gordon Williams, president; Mary Davenport, vice-presidcnt; Herbert Bauer, secretary; Dan Rees, treas- urer. Later we choose for our class colors: Gold and Black. Then came our debut into society. And the fifth of December, we gave the Seniors a dance. About this time we began to pay some attention to our lessons. The Generals had a choice of botarly and physics. Of course, the girls chose botany and the boys, physics, being more mathematically inclined. And many were the botany hikes the girls had. It is very peculiar, but many of our experi-
