Sojourn ' 56 Norton High School JVorton, Massachusetts Published by the Class of 1956 Advisor: Qrace Kieman Dedicated to CHARLES S. RANDALL We, the class of 1956, dedicate our year- book THE SOJOURN to Mr. Charles S. Ran- dall, our principal and our friend. In this way we hope to show him our ap- preciation for his open mind and fair deci- sions in regard to our many problems through- out our high school years. All of us wish him the best of luck in everything he does. A sincere th ank you from the class of 56. Superintendent ' s Message I urge members of your class in making plans for the future to think carefully of en- tering the teaching profession. This field will have many opportunities. It has been esti- mated that in the next ten years, there will be need for more new teachers than in the last thirty -five years. Teaching is the oldest profession; great teachers of the past have received outstanding recognition. Teaching was the first means by which civilized man perpetuated what he had learned and so raised S. the level of each generation. The financial reward in teaching is now good, and is steadily improving as society is recog- nizing the importance of education. Teachingis no easy task. It is a challenge to the most capa- ble. I hope many in the class will accept the challenge. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. - Henry Brooks Adams Laurence G. Nourse Principal ' s Message You, the class of 1956, are undertaking your last major project; and as you grow older, your thoughts will mellow and this book will become a source of enjoyment. Your assistance in school events has aided your social education; but the greatest self help has come from the effort given to your daily class preparations. This becomes a partial prepara- tion for life and should make you ready to meet future problems. Many positions are being created so that all may obtain work advancements by being able to think things through. There are elec- tronics for those interested in mathematics I : m and science; and there is the Civil Service, too, which in many cases, will help you adapt to your future station in life. The school officials and the faculty wish you success. Let the willingness to work, guide you to your future employment. Charles S. Randall Jn Appreciation MRS. JEAN FINDLATER MR. HENRI YELLE To Mrs. Jean Findlater, we the class of 56 wish to express our appreciation for your understanding guidance of us as individuals and as a class, throughout our school years. We shall think of you often in the future. A warm thank you to Mr. Henri Yelle from the class of 56. Your talks and kindly advice have helped us over many a hurdle, particularly those hurdles we o ' er leaped our Senior Year. t FACULTY MR. JAMES E. BLOUNT Social Studies MRS.

Its spirit and its educational way, Have improved constantly to the present day. As onward and outward we start to climb, We face the near future with an open mind. We will always remember you for your start; There will always be a place for you in our heart. The things you ' ve taught, which have made us think, Will appear in life as an important link. Now, as we leave for our journey into the unknown, We will remember our school as our former home. In fifty more years, familiar faces again will change, But the spirit of Norton High School will still remain. In the hearts of us it will always lie, Until man can reach beyond the sky.

Class Mis to ry We started our journey westward where we encountered many dangers. Our journey took four years. As our leaders for the first year, we chose: Thomas Bryant, President; Salvatore Amaral, Vice President Marjbrie Hall, Secretary; and Roger Boucher, Treas- urer. On our trip, it was necessary to raise money for our supplies. We held a dance and from it netted a profitable sum. We started our second year ' s journey by choosing new leaders: Thomas Bryant, Presi- dent; Nancy Hallahan, Vice President; Nancy Phillips, Secretary; and Joanne May, Treas- urer. By this time, we were further west and we needed more funds. We decided to have a supper; and then later we held a Valentine dance, Cupid ' s Whirl. At the beginning of our third year, we had succeeded in nearing our destination but our money problems increased. For our leaders, we elected: Thomas Bryant, President; Roger Boucher, Vice President; Wilma Randall, Secretary; and Lawrence Rubin, Treasurer. That year, we were crossing the Rocky Mountains and so we needed more funds and more provisions. We started the year with a supper; and within a month, we had a dance. We sold donuts to cover expenses for our transportation. Still later, we held another dance to help defray our costs. Along the way, we suf- fered many casualties, but finally we managed to cross the mountains. When we were a short distance from our destination, we held a bigger affair, our Junior Prom. The fourth year of our voyage was our busiest. We chose: Marjorie Hall, President; Rose Gorman, Vice President; Nancy Phillips, Secretary; Roger Boucher, Treasurer. As we approached our goal, we needed more money. We were in a new territory and wanted to get acquainted with the people. The best way we could think of was to have a big event and share the profits. The people liked us and urged us to produce a play. This event was very successful, but we still needed funds and so we had another dance and sold Christmas cards. Now, our journey has ended. Through our joys and struggles, we ' ve at last reached our western goal, that Golden Gate of Graduation. Zhe Class Will We, the members of the 1956 graduating class of Norton High School being of sound mind, do hereby bequeath our most treasured possessions to the unseasoned under class- men.

M. on Sunday the 19th of February, a train made a special stop at Attle- boro, where twenty-six happy seniors and their three chaperons were eagerly waiting. We rode to New York, and then changed trains for Baltimore. When we arrived there, we boarded the steamer which was to take us on an overnight sail down to Norfolk, Vir- ginia. The next day, we toured Norfolk, Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. We again boarded the steamer for the return trip to Baltimore. On Tuesday, we met Cliff, our wonderful bus driver. He showed us the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the Franciscan Monastery, the Superme Court, The Library of Congress, and the Capitol building. We settled down in our rooms at the Hotel Annapolis, while in Washington, we dined at the Lotus Club, and visited the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials at night. We also visited the Smithsonan Institute, Alexandria, and Mount Vernon. During our free time, some of us went swimming at the Ambassador Hotel, while others went to see Cinerama Holiday. Later, in the evening, everyone had fun at the Casino Royal. Early Thursday morning, we said goodbye to Cliff, our driver, and boarded the train for New York. We arrived at the Hotel Taft, and within a short time visited Radio City Music Hall, where we saw the Rockettes, and the movie, Picnic. In the evening one group went to see Damn Yankees, and the other group went to Pajama Game. Friday, morning was our free morning, and all of us toured Fifth Avenue, and did a little shopp- ing along the way. At 3:00, we took a tour of Lower New York, and then at five, boarded the train for home. We were a tired but a very happy group, and a group who would al- ways remember the wonderful days of our Class Trip. Zhc Class Prophecy Ten years after the 1956 graduation from Norton High School, I decided to take a trip out West, where most of the class had settled. On stopping at The Golden Gate Bridge, I saw Tom Bryant, the architect, and with him were Bill Shaw and Al Chamillard, his engin- eers. They were examining the reconstruction of the bridge. They then joined me and, together, we went in search of our other friends. After we had driven a few miles, I turned on my car radio and heard Ron Mendler introduce Midge Hall, the new opera star. While stopping for a traffic light, we saw Sergeant Roger Boucher of the San Francisco Police. He was giving a ticket to Dave Freeman, the auto magnate, and to Larry Rubin. Larry was the defence council for a man accused of murdering his wife. The traffic was so thick that I almost rammed the car in front of me. Much to my surprise, it was Donna Hersey, the Ambassadoress to Africa, and with her was Warren Marshall, the big game hunter who was known as Dead-eye. When we arrived at the Shush-Ho Restaurant, we saw Paula Maigret and Cinnie Gay. They were there with their seven children. Paula had four husky boys and Cynthia had three little girls. While we were talking to them, Carol Jackson, a bookkeeper at Noe ' s Super Market, arrived with her two friends, Arlene and Nancy Leonard. Arlene was a file clerk at Lord and Taylor ' s in New York City; and Nancy was a secretary to Joan Gefis, the famous women ' s sports clothes designer. As we were discussing our former school days, bedlam suddenly broke out near the door. Through the crowd, we could see Dick Farris and George Chamillard. Dick was the first basketball player ever to get ninety baskets in one game; and George was the designer of a new sports car, the Jet X-2. George told us that Frank Fraser, a newly appointed history professor at U. C. L. A. , was giving a lecture at the auditorium. All of us decided to go over and hear Frank. Arriving at the auditorium, we found that Marion Mingo was his secretary. We had wondered what had become of her, as she hadn ' t written to us in a long time. From Marion, we learned that George Poudrier was in Egypt where he was decipher- ing hieroglyphics on ancient pyramids; and we learned that Rose Gorman, who was also in Egypt, was most famous for introducing her Dance of the Nile. At the auditorium, we saw Sara Thomas, now a nurse, taking care of John Butler who had injured himself. John was a traveling salesman for The Palmolive Company; and, much to his chagrin, he had got a little shaving cream in his eye; hence, he had missed a few of the hotel steps. On the other side of the auditorium, Dottie Courchine was seated with her husband who was a five-star general. Dotty had recently been named Homemaker of The Year. When we were leaving, we met Beve Bilodeau. She was the math professor at the University of Nevada. Beve told us that Nancy Phillips, the movie star, was due in from Rome that afternoon; and that Nancy was announcing her engagement to the Prince of Nortono whom she was to marry in October. Finally, after everyone had gone his own way, and I had bid a fond farewell to this, my favorite class, I, the Spirit of Norton High, returned home again, to keep a watch- ful eye on my future graduates.
