Having achieved their goals, their sojourn ends, and they leave the school to begin a new life for which they have been prepared. As we approach graduation, we pause to reflect upon our sojourn in Norton High School. Memories of important and fun-filled events enter our minds, and we realize that we are neither the first nor the last group of Seniors to end its sojourn in this school. Scenes from past years become vivid, and we are made more aware of the passing of time. Time will continue to pass, and there will always be another Senior class to look back— to reflect upon its sojourn in Norton High School— and to look for- ward—to anticipate the future which lies ahead, yet, still out of sight. We Dedicat Tikis S ©urn to o o o ■ whc ■ Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindnesses, and small obligations given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort. Sir Humphry Davy We, the Senior Class, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Harold Woodward whom we have known for many years as a man on whom we could depend and a man who has merited our deepest respect. 4 Imi ike M Mr, H oinmeir Paul us I We knew him as a fine man and a dedicated teacher. His objective was to educate every student in his classes. He utilized his valuable time to read a great deal of additional material which would be useful to his stu- dents. Countless hours were spent directing the Dramatic Club and Senior Class plays. He spent many nights alone, working on scenery, or rewriting a scene which he thought needed improvement. Often, the money for extra make-up and props came from his own pocket. Mr. Paulus passed away on October 16th, 1964, but he will always be remembered for his dedicated service and warm generosity. The class of 1965 wishes to honor Mr. Homer Paulus for his fine work as a teacher and for his superb efforts as a drama coach. HIT P nnci Mr. Henri A. Yelle has been the principal of our high school for the past seven years. Under his guidance and supervision, the students of Norton High School have been provided with an ex- cellent academic and extracurricular program. For sixteen years, Mr. Yelle has been associated with students outside of school in his post as the public librarian. During the past year, Mr. Yelle has met with many of the seniors to help them plan for their futures. uar SuperintenJent Mr. George A. MacArthur, who has been our superintendent for three years, attends almost all sports ' functions, Dramatic -Club productions, and school dances. Mr. MacArthur is also associated with young people outside of school. He serves on the executive committee for Boy Scouts and during the summer he coaches a Little League Baseball team. Omr Assista-int P Mr. James E. Blount has been the Assistant- Principal of the high school for over a year. Pre- viously, he was our guidance counselor. Mr. Blount presently is active as an advisor to the Junior National Honor Society and to the Senior Student Council, and he is an avid sports fan. During the past two years, Mr. Blount has helped to increase school spirit and to increase the at- tendance at school functions. FACULTY orion Seiko©!

Although the season was abbreviated, our boys gave a fine account of themselves in their games against Medfield, Mansfield, and Lincoln. Many will never forget the events leading up to the first game and the games themselves. In the first encounter with Medfield, our Lancers threatened many times, but were not able to score. John Hayes and Doug Kerr lugged the pigskin most of the afternoon and at times showed signs of becoming fine backs. The Lancers played an impressive defensive game as the Medfield eleven was unable to get but three first downs throughout the afternoon. Jackie O ' Brien and Fred George turned in notable performances defensively. The most outstanding of all Norton players during the game was Francis Kullas who is an offensive center and defensive inside linebacker. Mansfield ' s undefeated team was our next opponent. Run, pass, and punt was the pattern of jilay in the first quarter. In the second quarter John Hayes broke off tackle and raced 32 yards for Norton ' s first touchdown. Excitement raced through the stands and on the field as the boys ran back up the field for- getting to try for the extra point. Finally, the team was organized and Doug Kerr scored the extra point. Mansfield fought back and scored three times before the half and led 20-8 at half-time. The third period brought about another Mansfield touchdown, but Norton would not let down. They scored again, when John Hayes ran 80 yards to the Mansfield 2 yard line on the ensuing kickoff. Doug Kerr carried the ball over from there. The final game of the year revealed two more possible future stars, Russell Hardigan and Roy Holway. Holway scored Norton ' s only touchdown against Lincoln. Lincoln scored three times to win the hard fought contest 20-6. The all out effort of the cheerleaders, the band, the Pep Club and the student body made Norton ' s first foot- ball season a success. This combination spells trouble for next years opponents. 78 Coach Whelahan offers a player some friendly advice during a practice drill. 79 More exercises to keep the boys in shape. 80 81 } Varsity Basketball The squad was called out on November sixteenth. Forty-eight candidates began arduous training and con- ditioning. By November twenty-fifth the squad was divided and thirty-three boys were selected to continue, thirteen on the varsity and twenty on the J.V. team. For the first time in many years the varsity was com- posed of Juniors and Seniors only. The coaches felt that the better Freshman and Sophomore players would benefit more from a full season of J.V. ball than from sitting on the varsity benBL f C R i ft A i The veterans, Seniors, Paul Rich, Bob Angus, and Cliff Reynolds, and Juniors John Young, Lee Raymond, Dave Brown, Dave Burbank, and Steve Prosky were to form the nucleus of the squad. Richie Trubucco, Les ' Conners, Mike Bartley, and Pat Cassidy were up from the J.V. team and Gil Hawkins, a transfer from Maine rounded out the thirteen man squad. On December fourth the team defeated Lincoln R.I. 88-65, then came a big game with the tough Digh- ton-Rehoboth Falcons whom the Lancers had defeated last year in a double over-time. The Lancers came from behind in the closing minutes to gain a 59-55 decision. On December fifteenth the Lancers play ed Hopedale in the Tri-County League opener. This was another cliff-hanger as Bob Angus hit a jump shot with two seconds to go, to give us a 64-63 lead and the win. Next, we had an easy one at Blackstone. Then, Norfolk fell, as Cliff scored 33. Next, came our Christmas vacation. During the vacation the team got two victories playing without Cliff who had severely sprained his ankle. At Mansfield, Bobby Angus had his best day as he scored 20 and dominated the boards. Lee, Steve, Zeb, and Dave Brown started. We won a close one at Lincoln coming from behind again in the last period. After vacation it was back to the Tri-County League. In quick succession Nipmuc and Bellingham fell. Holliston was to be the next opponent and perhaps the toughest one to face the Lancers to date. Cliff, Bobby, and the Pollack were terrific and the team put on the finest display of basketball in many years, Norton 87, Holliston 64. Medfield and Hopkinton also suc- cumbed and the Lancers were now 12-0 for the season. On Friday, January twenty-second a sellout crowd jammed the gym to see the clash of the League ' s only undefeated teams. Mills had swept past eight straight opponents and this game could decide the league championship. Cliff had the finest night of his career as he, Bobby, Steve, and Dave Brown led the tearr to an overwhelming 86-69 win. Medway, Dover, and Norfolk fell in easy fashion. The record now read 17-0, three more to go. At Bellingham in a pressure-packed game that see-sawed back and forth, the Pollack led a fourth quarter change that snatched victory from defeat in the final minute of play. Next came Nipmuc. After playing a good first half and leading 37-28 the team cooled off in the third period and Nipmuc went ahead 51-48. Cliff and Bobby pulled the team together and once again a fourth period rally brought a hard earned victory 68-65. Blackstone was the next opponent and after a tough game, the Lancers won the league championship by virtue of their 76-65 triumph. Nineteen down and one to go. 82 Above, (bottom row to top, left to right), are the members of our championship team: S. Prosky, C. Reynolds, P. Norton (coach), R. Angus, D. Brown; Row two: G. Bell, R. Trubucco, D. Burbank, P. Cassidy, L. Raymond, F. Bottomley; Row three: L. Conners, M. Bartley, G. Hawkins, P. Rich, and J. Young. To close out the regular season the Lancers traveled to Hopedale in quest of the school ' s first undefeated season since 1960. After a tough, tense struggle which saw the lead change many times, the Blue Raiders of Hopedale came out victorious 51-4 9. It was a long bus ride home for the defeated players. As the bus came down Rte 140 sadness turned to curiosity, then to amazement, and finally to in- credulity as the players got their first glimpse of the caravan of well-wishers that was forming to escort them home. All along Mansfield Avenue, people were out on the sidewalk and porches to applaud, cheer, and express their appreciation to the team. By the time the boys reached the center, West Main Street was lined with well-wishers and supporters. The reception in the school parking lot was something that none of the players will ever forget. The town of Norton outdid itself on that evening of February sixteenth. The enthusiasm and the spirit displayed was probably greater than it would have been if the team had won. This was a fine tribute to a great team. The Annual All-Star Game and Cheerleading tournament was a star-spangled night for the Lancers. Cliff, Bobby, and Steve were named to the All-League team, and the school was awarded the League Champ- ionship trophy. The Morton High School Cheerleaders were awarded the Tri-County League Cheerleading Trophy. 83 In Action Above: Steve Prosky gets the rebound.

Adams (manager). Coach Al Nuttall did another fine job this year with the junior varsity basketball team. Although the team had little height, they made up for this lack with speed and hustle. Consequently, the jayvees de- feated many of the taller teams and finished the campaign with a record of 12 victories and 8 defeats. Fresh- man, R it Bouchard, was the team ' s leading scorer, and he received able support from teammates Ronnie Goddard, Bob Thurber, Bruce Melanson, Dave Burbank, Chip Hardigan, Spike Kullas, and Richie Trabucco. Above, Coach Nuttall advises Ronny Goddard, Bobby Thurber and Rit Bouchard during a time-out. 86 Above, Rit Bouchard is shown driving toward the basket.

Junior High Leer lea. -tiers The Junior High cheerleaders are girls from the seventh and eighth grades who are chosen by a faculty committee at the beginning of the school year. The squad is advised by Miss J. Shapiro. The cheerleaders cheer at all the home games of the seventh and eighth grade basketball teams, and this year they participated in some of the away games. Junior High cheerleading offers excellent preparation for the Senior High cheering squad, because the Junior High cheerleaders lead the fans in many of the same cheers that the Senior High cheerleaders use. CHERYL TON I MARY DIANE 91 Varsi Coach Bob Ford ' s Lancers were the 1964 cham- pions of the Tri-County League, and are looking for a second straight league title. The Lancers should feature a hard-hitting attack led by three- year veteran catcher, Bob Angus; first-baseman, Cliff Reynolds; and shortstop, Steve Prosky, with plenty of additional help from Dave Burbank, Bob Lovenbury, Lee Raymond, and Cliff Bowen. Pitching appears to be the team ' s major problem with Richie Trabucco being the only starting pitcher returning from last year ' s squad. If Coach Ford can find some pitching, to aid Trabucco, to go along with the hitting and a good defense, then the Lancers will have another very success- ful season. Above: Pitcher, Richie Trabucco, and catcher, Bob Angus, discuss the coming season. Above, (left to right): Steve Prosky, Dave Burbank, Lee Raymond, and Bob Thurber are all experienced varsity ball players who will see plenty of action this year. 93 Tracl Above, (bottom row to top, left to right), the members of the Track Team are: D.

Melanson, L: Stevens, G. White, J. Henson, P. Cassidy, J. Bohannon, Mr. W. Rowland (coach). First year coach, Mr. William Roland, has been in our school system only since September, so he has never seen any of the boys perform on the track field, and it is, therefore, difficult to predict the outcome of this year ' s squad. Basing an assumption on appearances only, it seems that the team may do quite well in the sprints with John Young, John Hayes, Ron Murray, and Don, Gus, and Ron Fernandes leading the way, and should also do well in the shot-put and discus events with Phil Boucher, Larry Stevens, Bruce Melanson, Joe Bohannon, and Dan Gross being the leaders. Because the school does not have a cinder track, all track meets must be scheduled at other schools. 94 earn FOSS ouimtry This year ' s Cross Country Team did not fare as well as it possibly could have due to injuries to key runners. Norton ' s record under first year coach Mr. William Row- land was three wins and four losses. The prospects of next year ' s team appear promising. A strong nucleus will be formed by this year ' s four best runners, Juniors John Young, Bruce Melanson, and Adrian Dunlop, and Sophomore Don Fernandes, who will all be returning to next year ' s squad. Coach Roland has been making plans for the next several seasons as well as next year. Last faU he began training seventh and eighth graders for future varsity competition.

The theme depicted an Orien- tal Holiday and the cafeteria was dec- ocated appropriately by the Prom Commit- tee. The Grand March and the se- lection of the Queen were the highlights of the evening. The music was pro- vided by The Ser- enades, and a wonderful evening was enjoyed by all who attended. Above: Seated on her throne is Miss Donna Lee Collins, Queen of the Prom.

The Student Council and the Senior Class sponsored the annual Welcoming Dance which was held in the Nor- ton High School Auditorium on September 23, 1964. This annual event was a gen- eral reunion for the upper- classmen and it gave the new Freshmen a chance to get acquainted. The decorations in the Auditorium were simple, consisting of paper with ivy painted on it and fall leaves, which decorated the walls and base of the stage. Music for the evening was supplied by a four piece band from the Navy. A warm and friendly at- mosphere prevailed through- out the evening as people reunited with old friends and made new ones.

The title of this event was appropriately named Life Begins at 400. Backdrop for the stage was a portion of the Globe Theatre, recreated by high school students. The program began with an informal talk by Dr. P. Albert Duha- mel of Boston Col- lege. Following Dr. Duhamel ' s speech, the audience enjoyed several scenes from Shakespeare ' s plays: A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, and Henry V. Between these excerpts, well-known soliloquies from Mac- beth, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet and Julius Caesar Above: Jeffrey Boudreau and Elizabeth Freeman quarrel in a scene from Shakespeare ' s Taming of the Shrew.

Friday the thirteenth, contrary to custom, proved to be a lucky day for the Seniors; the play was a great success. The Seniors appeared to en- joy the play as much as the audience. The Seniors rushed about learning lines, putting finishing touches on scenery, dabbling in make-up; creating costumes, and collecting props. Christine Clark, Judy Berube, and Jeanine White put the last coat of paint on the scenery before dress rehearsal. Mr. Klin meets with the cast after dress rehearsal to offer tips to help improve their performance. 104 nst mas The Senior Class spon- sored the semi-formal Christmas Dance this year. It was held on December 18, 1964 in the Norton High School Auditorium. The back of the Audi- torium was decorated with a Christmas tree, which had presents and an electric train arranged underneath.

To end the program, the Glee Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. William Adams, sang The Child and the Lamb, Noel the Christ is Born, There was no Room for the Christ Child, and Sleigh Ride. 109 TJtae Latin Glut ,  Every year, Freshman Latin Students, who wish to become members of the Latin Club, are sold at a Slave Sale. All high school students are invited to bid for a slave-for-a-day. Before the slaves are auctioned, they must perform a skit or sing a song to prove their value. The day follow- ing the sale, the slaves wear their tunics and serve their master for the entire school day. The master assigns the slave numerous tasks. This year, some favorite tasks were: rolling a pencil with one ' s nose, carrying piles of books while remaining three feet behind and one head shorter than the master, proposing to teachers, and singing happy birthday at the top of one ' s voice in the lunchroom. The sale proved to be both profitable and hilarious. Rbove, Ronnie Goddard rolls a pencil down the hall while Cynthia Cooper, another slave, and Diane MacArthur, his master, supervise. Above, Michael Wynn stands victoriously over Paul Hassie whom he has defeated in a re-enactment of gladiatorial combat. 110 Ill tudent Goyerinmeint Elect lOES Each year, the Student Council conducts Student Government elections. Two parties are formed and can- didates are chosen by each party. This year, the two parties were the Hags and the Hogans. Primary elec- tions were held within the parties and the victorious candidates ran as the candi- dates in the final election. These officers act as repre- sentatives of the students and they serve in various areas as heads of the Stu- dent Council. Shown above are the victorious candidates. They are (left to right): Anne Franklin, Secretary; Patrick Cassidy, President; and John Young, Vice-President. Shown above is Patrick Cassidy presenting his campaign speech to the student Dody and the faculty.
