Musical background: .... We're ever loyal . . .' The doors fly open as the stream of students come out after school. On the shady side of the school a group sits, talking and laughing. Three boys play catch in front of the gym. We hear drums and saxophones from the vocational building as some band members practice a march. These are some scenes around school that will be remembered. More settings for more scenes can be seen as we travel around the cam- pus with the cameramen. Some girls discuss sewing problems on the steps of one of the two Home Economics cottages as club members walk toward Hut 4 for a meeting. Broad Creek Junior Hi-schoolers wait for a school bus and one turns to wave at a friend crossing the lawn.

.. Our school celebrates its 25th birthday The old farm house that served as the lirst Norview school building This is the pageant of a community and of a school. Amid the plowed field, under the sky where Indians roamed not too long ago, on the road where Civil VVar soldiers marched, and the families of VVorld XVar 'idoughboysu and G, T- .loes traveled a settlement was begun. A large two-story farmhouse was raised This was later the first Norview School. The location was destined to be a local point of interest, mainly because it was midway between Norfolk and Ocean View, from which two places Norview was named. It was also near one of the world's greatest seaports and from such things it grew. The first school building was soon needed. Wliztt we now call the main building was the second school and was meant to accommodate 300 students- The elementary children from the entire country moved into the old farmhouse, which had been on the school lot, but which was moved so that the foundation of our main building could be laid. Honesty, integrity, scholarship, leadership-these characteristics are the basic fundamentals in which Norview's ideals are rooted. This is our code in part, and with these thoughts the first graduating class, two girls transferred from Maury, began the last class of high school in 1924. Miss Mabel Kiracofe, now Principal of Coleman Place School, became our hrst principal. Mr. ll, C. Barnes was appointed principal in 1924, and served twenty-one years until he became Director of Instruction in Norfolk County Schools. He was succeeded by M r. li. XV. Chittum. From the beginning, students have loved Norview, and every year it has im' proved. lt was the students who made the traditions which we still carry out.
