HCan we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that his- toric effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of de-! fending freedom in its hour of maximuml danger. l I do not shrink from this responsibilityel I welcome it. I do not believe that any of ust would exchange places with any other peoplel of any other generation. The energy7 the faith and the devotion which we bring to this en- deavor will light our country and all who serve iteand the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for youeask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what to- gether we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of Amer- ica or of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice that we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking his blessing and his help, but knowing that here on earth God,s work must truly be our own? a ?gwwwmmwwww t s t W Nwquwt WV ,, . . . strength and sacrifice that we ask of you? :7 it . . . but what together we can do for the freedom of man . . . 292

A Year of Gratitude . . . A Year of Pride . . . 294 As the school year draws to a close, so it is With the end of the day. Here at Miami Nor- land, the quiet halls create a lonely atmos- phere of serenity. From the start of the first Classes in September, until the last one of J une, student lif e has vibrated here. These are the students about whom our book tells. Pass- ing through these pathways of knowledge, they find truth and inspiration in the guidance of a capable staff of administrators. Using school spirit as the basic foundation of our yearbook, we have worked to symbolize the Viking tra- dition in our own way in the Valhalla. This historical year has made many young adults aware of their rights as Americans and has pushed many a boy to finally become a man. Teen-agers from all parts of the nation spent many solemn days in mourning the death i of our President. As the future leaders, they are preparing themselves to face this greatt responsibility by first accepting reality. This l tragic event left the young at heart to grieve. t At Norland, the student body was honored when presented with the Sportsmanship Trophy from the Miami Touchdown Club. This award commended the students both onl the football field and in the cherring stands. Many thanks to our Principal, Mr. Hunter, who thoughtfully assisted us in keeping the dedication a secret so closely guarded that even the yearbook advisor did not know the annual was dedicated to herself. So unselfish is Mrs. Langer, that had she known of the true nature of the dedication, she never would have allowed its publication. For their help, the yearbook also wishes to thank, Mrs. Carlson, and Mr. Quaranta f0 their advice and cooperation; Mrs. Hahn, Miss Jasiecki, Lorraine Tremblay, and Harvey Le- vine for their assistance with copy materials. Mrs. Lees assistance in the mimeographing o notices and Mrs. Lewis, financial advice wer of great help to the business staff. The aid 0 Mr. Berry, a layout consultant; Mr. Glenn the photographer; and Mr. Brooks, the pub lisherys representative, helped us in preparin materials for upcoming deadlines. Now, as we f ace the end of the year you wil find your precious memories safely locked i this edition. We have worked hard and no we give you your Valhalla; cherish it alway for it was written for YOU-the STUDENTS CO-EDITORS
