The Principal Speaks To the Members of the Senior Class and Advisors; It is a pleasure to congratulate you on your third edition of the NORWAYNIAN resents work and sacrifice on the part of each of you. It rep ' When you have completed your formal education at Norwayne and you have taken your place beside other citizens in this community or other communities, you will be measured not on the basis of the size of the community or the number of persons living in that com¬ munity, but solely on the type of contribution you make, be it small or large. Along with the education that you have gained, I admonish each of you to develop an understanding of and an appreciation for the little things within your grasp. This idea is well expressed in Kipling’s If We Only Understood ; There are gems of wondrous brightness Ofttimes lying at our feet, And we pass them, walking thoughtless, Down the busy, crowded street. If we knew, our pace would slacken, We would step more oft with care, Lest our careless feet be treading To the earth some jewel rare. MayGod guide you in all your endeavors and success follow you all the days of your life.

To the Members of the Class of 1961; It is with much pleasure that I take time out to offer congratulations to you upon the completion of twelve years of work as prescribed by the Board of Education and Norwayne School. I am sure the training and enlightenment you have received will ena¬ ble you to go forth and take your place in society, remembering that an education is never completed without the acknow ledgement of the power and guiding spirit of Jesus Christ. Supervisor of Music Education To the Principal, Faculty and Students; Accept my sincere congratulations on your won¬ derful success in publishing the third edition of your annual. To reach a height, we must climb, not soar; and in climbing to any successful height in any endeavor, let us use for our rungs these attributes - determination, organization, cooperation and excel¬ lence. Let us use for our motto what one great writer said in his STEP BY STEP; Heaven is not reached by a single bound But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit round by round. C. Supervisor of Guidance

Assistant Principals It is indeed a profound pleasure to con¬ gratulate you for having successfully passed one great milestone and to offer you my sin¬ cere wishes for a happy and prosperous fu¬ ture. My advice to you may be elegantly ex¬ pressed in the words of the poet William Makepeace Thackeray: In the world as in the school, You know how fate may turn and shift The prize be sometimes to the fool, The race not always to the swift. Who misses or who gains the prize Go, lose or conquer as you can; But if you fall or if you rise, Be each, Pray God, a gentleman. Gladly do I extend sincere praise for the excellency of your fine efforts in the publication of this third edition of the NORWAYNIAN. May your success of today prove but a mere beginning of your expected accomplishments of to¬ morrow. May God guide you in your choice of future activities, and provide you with the strength and fortitude to carry them out effectively. You have made a wonderful start. Good luck.
