NORTON HIQH SCHOOL NORTON, MASSACHUSEnS ADVISOR, MISS GRACE B. K1EM4AN FOREWORD What is the process of gaining a high school education? It is a journey, a sojourn which either marks the end of our acquiring of scholarly material, or a sojourn which will lead us to institu- tions of higher learning. With this thought in mind, we, the editors of the 1962 SO- JOURN, have chosen as our theme A Journey Through Norton High School. We have, through the use of pictures, recalled the most memorable scenes of school life to mind — things that we took for granted, and yet, we would be inclined to forget; things that contributed in a small way to the molding of our lives; and things that distinguished us as individuals. In the future, when we might wish to review the past, and thumb through its pages, we sincerely hope that this book will remind the reader of the enjoyable years spent at Norton High School, of a period of profitable training, and of the Senior Class of 1962. DEDICATION DR. WILLIAM A. MAHONEY Superintendent of Norton Public Schools The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man ' s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher. Through the past years, you have helped us climb the ladder of knowledge. Under your ever-willing guidance, we have reached the end of four years of activity and learning. To you, Dr. Mahoney, for your unceasing dedication and loyalty to the Norton School System, we, the Class of 1962, express our sincere gratitude and dedicate, to you, the SOJOURN of 1962. 6 IN APPRECIATION (right): To MR. FREDERICK KELLEY To you, we express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for four years of patience and leadership. Your ever- present smile, and your ever-ready helping hand will be remembered always. (Icjl ): To MISS GRACE B. KIERNAN Wc, the Class of 1962, wish to thank you for your guidance which helped us to function as a group. From each of us comes the warmest gratitude for the attention you gave to us. (left): To MRS. JOAN PROULX A sincere thanks to you, Mrs. Proulx. for your helpful and friendly guidance. Your enthusiastic sup- port made our class projects successful; and your willingness to work gave us a good example to follow. 7 SUPERINTENDENT ' S MESSAGE All of the hopes, dreams, and ambitions of parents, teachers, and students culminate with the reaching of one ' s first educational goals in the public schools. There could be no better way of presenting in per- manent written and pictorial form the completion of this achievement than the presentation of our annual Year Book. My congratulations to the staff and advisors for another fine job. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the class of 1962 Your Sojourn in Norton High School is over. During your four years here we have tried to prepare you for the surprises and opportunities the future will bring. Be open-minded in your search for ways to serve your community and country. Only in this way will true happiness come to you. 8 NOR SCHOOL GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT MRS. JEAN FINDLATER; Wheaton College— B.A, Boston University— M. in Education. ART DEPARTMENT MR.

Class functions have been successful, and have been run smoothly and efficiently. For this, we wish to express our appreciation to our class officers, and thank them for a job well done. 16 )ONALD LEE ALLARD Don He said little, but to the purpose. ross Country 2; Library Assistant 2; Junior Assembly 3; Prom ommittee 3; Gold Key 3, 4.

IN MEMORIAM Words can never express the feeling for Charlotte that remains with the senior class. She was an under- standing friend to all, and her life was full of a vivaciousness that was easily felt by those around her. Charlotte ' s interest lay in the people she knew, but yet she displayed a marked artistic ability which was always evidenced in her appearance. Her pleasing per- sonality has left her many, still devoted friends throughout the school.

Victories were scored in eleven of the twenty games played in the Tri-County League, and Norton ' s team came the closest to winning against Bellingham ' s undefeated team — losing by two points. Led by Co-Captains Jimmy Watson, and Roger Ramsey, the group finished fifth in the League. Jimmy, who has been of the varsity for his four high school years, was elected to the All-Sfar Team in 1961 and in 1962. In his sophomore year he played on Norton ' s only undefeated team. This year was especially success- ful for Jimmy, as is shown by his 15.4 average, and his 254 point total. Prospects for a successful season next year are good. Cliff Reynolds, freshman center for the team. Bob Angus, also a freshman, John Zaccardi, John Willis, and Roger Ramsey, under the expert direction of Coach Norton are expected to lead the team on to victory. COACH, PHILLIP A.

The school is extremely proud of the good sportsmanship shown by the squad, and the team has appreciated their constant support.

The Nutcracker Prince, as played by Michael Danforth, was accompanied by several others, including toy soldiers, mice, and gingerbread men.

Lock, Stock, and Lipstick was the story of Pembroke High School, and the events that took place within, when a new, young guidance counselor arrived.

This three act comedy was under the excellent direction of Mr. Homer Paulus. Arrogant Mrs. Donley, as played by Peggy Ruskey, surprised the Larry Donley ' s antics turn to acts of retaliation as Miss Ent- school system with her bluntness. whistle accuses him of stealing two hundred dollars of yearbook money.
