X, gss Photo by Bob Powell 5 bedication The world waits for youth. War's harsh thunder is silenced - not so with the cries of the earth's stricken peoples. The triumph itself was a small task compared to that which lies before the oncoming generation - the rehabilitation, spiritual as well as physical, of a society shaken to its very foundations by that holocaust. ' Thus we deem it only fitting that this WATCHTOWER of 1946 should be doubly dedicated -first of all to those who, as members of the graduating classes, have this year passed forever from the scene at Beverly to tread lifeis uncertain path, and again, to the memory of Norman- dyis own heroes, who, in serving the greatest cause of all, have passed forever from this earthly scene to that which lies beyond. And so it is that we who bid farewell to Beverly take increased devotion from their passing and pledge that these, our honored dead, Hshall not have died in vainf, May we ever hold it high, this purpose conceived of Norman blood, and as a torch may it burn forever in our hearts - a challenge to the future and a debt to the past. Grant strength to our purpose and courage to our convictions, that we may forge of our ,deals a flaming blade, tempered in the blood of those who offered up their lives upon the altar Jf freedom. May we advance,through life, forever brandishing this blade-a sword of hope. . . Yes, the world waits for youth,

heme To enhance the beauty of our city and to provide added convenience to its citizens our cam- pus was planned, erected, and brought to life. From that time on Normandy was to be the name wc have worked to uphold. Years have gone by, war has come and gone, and peace is here again, yet Normandy still remains. Changes have been made, but time has glorified our school. Its history has made it proud. ln the 1946 Wlatchtower the staff has tried to express its appreciation of the school which has given us all so much. VVe have endeavored to give to every Norman a book that will never let him forget the feeling he has had for Normandy's halls. Campus scenes most dear to all of us are highlighted so as to remain an everlasting memory. Friends whose pictures you see here may never be forgotten. Pleasant memories of clubs and activities will soon return with a mo- ment's glance through these pages. To help you remember these scenes on Normandy's campus student photography this year has played a greater part than ever before in the makeup of the annual. In this way the book becomes more personal to each member of the student body. As you scan the pages, you will notice as a result of this expression of student opinion that popular events, scenes, and traditions have been given a more prominent display. Four years of high school may be a small part of our life, but it comes at one of the most important times - when we are growing up. Therefore the campus where we spent these four years. the buildings themselves, the friends we made, the things we did and wish we had clone - all come to our minds when we remember Beverly. To help recall these four years is your 1946 Watchtower. ELEANOR KNECHT ' '
