Jh Appreciation miracles of enthusiasm in all ages. Everywhere it is the main-spring of what is called a force of character, and the sustaining power of all great action. Samuel Smiles We would sincerely like to extend our appreciation to Mrs. Jean Find- later, Director of Guidance at Norton High School. This year Mrs. Findlater 1 retires after thirty-five years of service in the Norton School System. Her service will be remembered by all, especially those students who have been aided by the school scholarship fund which Mrs. Findlater instituted in 1953. Mrs. Findlater is responsible for the founding of the Norton Chapter of the National Honor Society. Besides her many services as a Guidance l| Counselor, she served Norton High as a Latin and History teacher. Under her instruction, a number of students earned awards in National compe- titions. We wish Mrs. Findlater the best of health and the best of wishes in her retirement. 5

Music resembles poetry, in each are nameless graces which no method teaches and which a master hand alone can reach. Alexander Pope Six years ago when Mr. Frank Montesanti walked through the doors of Norton High School, he carried with him a world of music. Mr. Montesanti graduated in 1959 from the New England Conservatory with a Master ' s Degree in Music. After graduating, he received many offers to work with bands and orchestras all over the country, but he refused these offers for a career in teaching which he felt would be personally rewarding. In these past six years, Mr. Montesanti has organized a band which now has sixty-five trained musicians. This band placed first runner-up in Class C at the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival. With great pride, the Class of 1966 dedicates this Sojourn to Mr. Frank Montesanti. 4

Supemtentent ' s Message yVe shall build an enduring peace only through the superiority of our citizenry. You students of today are the citizens and builders of tomorrow. Our country looks to you to perpetuate the liberties and the ideals for which our young men fight today. Our job as teachers and your job as learners is to prepare for the responsibilities ahead. That job requires the extra unselfish effort demanded of all individuals working to win a lasting peace. You will build better and more durably than we who have preceded you. That is the American way; it will be your way. George A. MacArthur, Superintendent Pmcipal ' s Message As you leave high school you will meet disappointments, hard work, and great changes in your life. I hope you meet them with the same fine spirit of giving and cooperation you have shown in your years at Norton High School. Very best wishes to each of you for true happiness. Henry A. Yelle, Pr ncipa Assistant Pmcipal ' s Message Life in a democracy is based largely on rights. In newspapers, on radio, and on television we read and hear constantly about voting rights, civil rights, and rights to work. What is seldom mentioned is the fact that along with rights come responsibilities. It is impossible to discuss a right that does not go hand in hand with a parallel responsibility. As your ship of life is preparing to sail into the future, make sure that, as a part of your educational cargo, you carry this idea-PROTECTION OF RIGHTS COAAES FROM THE ACCEPT- ANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY. Mr. James Blount, Assistant Principal 6
