CLASS POEM REMEMBRANCES by Anne Skolnik As we are now on the brink of saying good-bye To our fellow students and teachers of Norton High, We recall the remembrances of the past twelve years, And the thoughts of leaving fill our eyes with tears. When we were freshmen, our minds bent on fun, We little realized that our true work had only begun. We were steeped in books; our thoughts not yet mature, We tried to clothe our uncertainties, with actions seemingly demure. The new Norton High School was built our second year, And up to date, our lives have partly been molded here. We learned our lessons and we partook of activities, And we cheered our Lancers on to many victories. But now we are Seniors standing on the threshold of life, Young and eager; we hope ready to face outer strife. We shall always love Norton and cherish her thought, We shall always remember the happiness she brought. CLASS HISTORY We began our high school career in 1954 as lowly pages preparing ourselves for the journey to battle. Miss Ann Bruno and Mr. Frederick E. Kelley advised us and we were led by Don Roy, President; Jim Tierney, Vice President; Dan Vargus, Secretary; and Joan Rand, Treasurer. Dan Vargus was soon replaced by Dick Post as Sec- retary. In October we held our first money making event, a roller skating party. A Thanksgiving assembly was put on with a play Thanksgiving Family Style in November. In February we held another, this was on the topic of Patriotism. Our second year we began as squires in a new location, our new high school. Don Roy remained our President with Cynthia Winsor, Vice President; Carolyn Miller, Secretary; and Grace Lynch, Treasurer. Mr. Kelley was again our advisor and Mrs. Charlotie Hamden came to aid us. In May of our second year we conducted an assem- bly arranged like a television broadcast. The preparation for battle began in earnest in our third year. Our leaders were Don Roy, Carolyn Miller, Diane D ' Angelo and Joan Phillips. Mr. Kelley and Mrs. Hamden joined forces again that year to advise us. Dur- ing American Education Week we held an assembly Colonial and Modern. More money was raised in February for the class trip by holding a square dance, The Promenade Prance. As Juniors we put on the Junior-Senior Prom and had a wonderful time planning the theme and decorating the cafeteria as La Rue de Paris. Finally we were Seniors and as Lancers we were ready to begin our journey to battle. We never would have made it without the advise and aid of Miss Grace Kiernan and Mr. Kelley. Carolyn Miller became our President, Don Roy our Vice President, Diane D ' Angelo our Secretary, again, and Jean Carney our Treasurer. In September we jointly sponsored the Get Acquainted Dance with the Student Council. Our athletic ability shone when we won the first track meet at Norton High. More money was raised for our class trip by holding a harvest supper which was soon followed by th e Senior Class Play in November. Everyone roared as the Seniors presented Meet Mr. Co-ed. To increase our enlarging funds we sold Christmas cards and held a dance, St. Nook-Nick. After having acquired all the necessary funds we took our class trip to Washington, D. C. and New York. June approached, the long hard journey to battle was over - the battle was won and graduation was attained. 14
