CLASS HISTORY As colts in grammar school, we had hardly been halter -broken, when, in 1953, we were called in from pasture to begin our training in earnest. Mr. Henri Katz and Miss Jenny Lingos were our uainers. Our leaders as yearlings were Roger Ashley, President; John Austin, Vice President; Kay Sullivan, Sec- retary; and Patricia Slocum, Treasurer. Our first attempt at crashing into the lime light was our Saint Patrick ' s Dance. The next year, as two year olds, we changed oiu leaders to: Mary Ann Hanlon, first in command; Patricia Slocum, second in command; Kay Sullivan, keeper of the records; and Rosemarie Murphy collector of money. We were schooled over low hurdles, our low hurdles being an assembly portraying the history of Norton High School, and a Mystery Dance in February with a poll spotlighting Norton ' s favorite song, Melody of Love. In our Junior year, training became even more intensive. Our head trainers were Miss Evelyn Rapoza and Mr. Walter Killis. Our leaders were changed to Kay Sullivan, Luther Carter, Gail Henlin, and Dorothy Dadmun. In November, we held a dance Autum Leaves, which was a big success. There was also a spaghetti supper, which aided us in raising money for our future sojourn to our nation ' s capital. We also had many cake sales at Fernandes Super Market. For an assembly, we produced two skits, The Big Playoff, and What ' s My Racket? A special feature was the Four Sharps. The assembly was a smash- ing success. The biggest event of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom on the first of June. Roman Holi- day was its theme, and the hall was festively decorated with hand painted murals, and Roman columns, which were climaxed by a beautiful, realistic fountain, banked by artificial lawn. As four year olds, the last lap of training encouraged us and built up our stamina for the big day ahead-the fox hunt which would climax our schooling at Norton. We were groomed for this event by Miss Grace B. Kiernan and Mrs. Jean Findlater. At the beginning of the year, we joined forces with Student Council to have a Get Acquainted Dance. This was followed by a harvest supper. One of the most exciting and memorable events was the Senior Play, Professor, How Could You? This comedy proved to be a howling success. In the month of December, a long awaited guest made his debut at the Christmas Dance. Fabian was a giant snowman, around whom we rocked. The sale of Christmas cards, and cake sales, supple- mented our funds, and enabled us to take, in February, a trip to Washington D. C. and New York. The big day finally arrived, and on June 19, 1957, we were graduated. Our hurdles of school life behind us; our hurdles of life ahead of us. 12

CLASS POEM DAYS GONE BY by Diane Marshall We are leaving Norton High School, Through Graduation ' s door we ' ve passed. Now we know that we must go. How could four years go so fast? We ' re looking forward to the future. But looking backward through that door; And now you see, we wish that we Had done a little more. Our projects all are finished, Our homework ' s finally done. Throughout the years we shed some tears, But think of all the fun! Now we ' re leaving Norton, And we ' re all a little sad. Because, in turn, for all we learned- - We gave ALMOST all we had. Looking forward to the future. Looking backward, we are sad; For now you see, we wish that we Had given ALL we had. CLASS OFFICERS Seated are: Gail Henlin, Secretary; Thomas Perry, President; Diane Marshall, Vice President; Rosemarie Murphy, Treasurer. Standing are: Kay Sullivan, Annette LaRosee. Elizabeth Thorne, Student Council Representatives.
