Out of these long years, friendships have grown which will long be remembered. So it is with great pride that the Junior class publishes this Yearbook in order that each Senior, though parted from his classmates will have something by which he may remember the friends he made and the events he enjoyed so well in high school. Graduation is near and parting may seem so final and yet we hope that this book will always help you to remember your teachers and classmates and the four years you spent here. Also it is our hope that the under classmen will carry on in our footsteps and continue to publish some school paper whether it be a Parrot or Yearbook, so that the events of the years will not be forgotten.

NORTON HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK CLASS OF 1937 ADDRESS OF WELCOME As president of the graduating class it is my privilege to welcome you here tonight. Your presence is sincerely appreciated. As we cross the threshold of life, it is not without regret that we end these pleasant associations. Our high school days will long be remembered. Although some of us may further our education, for many these four years are the foundation of our careers and we are indeed grateful to you who have made them possible. On behalf of the graduating class, I wish to extend our thanks to our parents, teachers, and friends who have helped us in so many ways. Parents, we wish to thank you for affording us the opportunity of attending high school and for your interest that has been an inspiration to us. We hope the results will prove worth your sacrifice. Teachers, we thank you for your time and patient efforts in establishing a back- ground of knowledge and training for us, so that we may become worthy citizens of our community. And to you, our friends, we bid a cordial welcome and sincerely thank you for your co-operation with us in all our class events. We are mindful of the interest and financial assistance given us, the class of 37, which made our Washington trip possible. In closing on behalf of the class, allow me to express our thanks again to all who have made this educational opportunity possible, and to you who show your interest by coming here tonight. IVY HENSON, ' 37. CLASS POEM Four years ago September We entered Norton High With hearts that fluttered lightly And with colors flying high. We ' ve met with many things here With tragedies and tears We ' ve met with joys and merry things Throughout these four short years. O classmates do remember Though parting brings us pain That we will try our hardest To reunite again. Tonight we are to graduate To part from bookish tasks Each one will roam this world alone A separate Senior Class. We ' ve many things to do alone We shall not work in vain We must go on and upward Ere joys can be attained. Let this not be a sad good-bye Though eyes are welled with tears But let it be a fond adieu Till we meet in future years. QUINLAN REGAN, ' 37. Page Four
