Poised on the top of a huge wave of fate, Which hangs uncertain to which side to fall, And whether it will heave us up to land, Or whether it will roll us out to sea, Back out to sea. to the deep waves of death, We know not. and no search will make us know: Only the event will teach us in its hour.

In the opening game of the season, Norhi downed the Blue Knights at Coeburn, 14-7. Stallard passed to Minor for the first touchdown, and Nard crossed the goal for the other score. J. Caruso kicked both extra points. Norhi fought the St, Paul Deacons a 0-0 deadlock in a hard fought game in rnud, ankle-deep. Afterwards, the team considered changing their name to the Mud-hogs . The Wise Indians overpowered the Norhi team 26-0. The Blue Knights eleven, in a return game on Tracy Field, edged out Norhi, 6-0. In la second meeeting, the St. Paul Deacons passed for two touchdowns and made a safety for a score of 14-6. Heldreth, havingintercepted a St. Paul pass, raced ninety- one yards for Norhi's lone score. In what proved to be the most exciting game of the season, the revengefuI 'Norhi eleven furiously battled a much favored Wise team, only to go down 14-6. Reed re- ceived a Wise punt and flashed 80 yards to score. In a tinal game, the tricky, well-coached East Stone Tigers stalled the Norton offensive and pushed across a score in the last 20 seconds of play, to defeat Norhi, 6-0. . EF MWA?

In 1892, classes for the first seven grad:s were begun in a small' one-room building on the corner of Spruce and Tenth Streets. Here some of Norton's present leading residents learned the difficult art of reading, writing, and ciphering. Here they daydreamed, slept. and played. In 1895, lessons corresponding to those in our eighth and ninth grades were pondered and studied in an old storebuilding down- own,,until, during the same winter, a ire destroyed this classroom and drove the know- ledge-seeking boys and girls to share the one- room building with the smaller children.
