Foreword |N THE olden days prehistoric man, after much hard work with his chisel and crude hammer, inscribed records and drew pictures on the walls of the cave which served as his home. Just so have we inscribed records and placed pictures of our activities and friends oi our high school days on the walls of our “House of Memories. ' ’ Now our house is finished. Insert the key in the lock, open the door, and with us enter into our rooms, which are filled with rare treas- ures, the memories of the greatest events of our lives. Spend with us “sessions of sweet silent thought,’’ as “we summon up remembrance of things past,’’ for ’Tis in our House of Memories we’ll find Sure peace and happiness through years gone by In tales of high school days that bring to mind The thoughts of lessons then that made us sigh. But may we smile when we have known real care, And say, “It’s sweet recalling what was hard to bear.’’ 5

' She Echoes of T orhigh (Sing to the tune of “Just an Echo in the Valley”) High School has passed us —those happy years; Now life is calling- life with its fears. May we remember, as the years pass, Most of the lessons we’ve learned in each class. Chorus There are echoes, Norhigh, Of our schooldays, Norhigh; As they bring back sweet mem’ries we sigh. For we’ll always love you, And remember you, too, Through the long years that we may find “blue.” Oft our thoughts will be turned To days in Norton High, Where many to learn Will ever really try; And the echoes of you Will always be true, As they sound back our mem’ries of you. This school of Norhigh we have confessed Has means of learning, surely the best. May she always be honored by all; Keep her name highest, never to fall. Chorus 7
