Six years ago on a bright September morning, a tall figure strode through Russell Gate from Junior School. At that time Norm's dad was Lieutenant Governor; thusly it was fitting to call Norm The Governor” or The Big Politician.” Norm promptly fitted into the Kingswood routine by being elected to the Student Council, a position he held through his senior year. Besides serving on the Student Coun- cil, Norm has been president of the class four years in succession, was Chairman of the S.G.C., and was duly elected as Senior Prefect. In his sophomore year, the first year that his green station wagon became a fixture in the parking lot, Norm was elected to the Dance Committee, where his help has been invalu- able in the production of our dances. He terminated the year by winning the Anthony Prize for being the outstanding person in the Sophomore Class. Despite all his extra-curricular activites and studies, Norm has played an active role in athletics. During his freshman year, the big man earned a starting position as a cat-like goalie on Mr. Jones's J.V. soccer team. After a winter of snowless skiing, he joined the tennis team. In following years, with the use of his big left foot, he earned his soccer letter, and in the spring won his tennis letter also. It must be stated that Norm, whose ability has been every- where apparent, especially on the basketball court, has definitely been the class leader. His conscientious study habits and friendliness have made him extremely popular with the Class of '57. Best of luck, Norm! 10

Way back in 1951, Andy entered the First Form, becoming one of the charter members of the class. During his first three years he contributed to the Wyvern. the Choir, and the Saturday Morning Club. J.V. football, skiing (he was elected captain of the York club in that sport), and baseball dominated these early years sportswise. Early in his sophomore year, Andy obtained his driver’s license and was quick to join the 3:30 Club. He became a member of the Honor Roll for the first and (with regrets) the last time, the Dramatic Club, and the News Board. In his last two years Andy played Varsity Football, re- ceiving his letter as a senior. He also won his letter in wrestling in his junior year but switched gladly to intra-mural hoop, still remembering those thirty laps and ten minutes of grass drill. In his junior year he joined the Dance and K.S.S.F. Committees and this year, he was a student librarian and a member of the Classbook Committee. He worked incessantly getting ads, especially at places such as Wooster and Bushnell during seventh and eighth periods. Throughout the years, Andy has been one of the mainstays of the Class of '57. We will all remember his good-natured rough-housing, carried over from football, on the basketball court and in the classroom. A popular figure, we wish him luck in the future. n
