Class History - 1952 Parents, Teachers, Friends: ---- I am honored to be Class Historian. As the Class of 1952 is modern and business-like, I have brought with me only a text-book from which I should like to read the history of the Class of 1952. I think it appropriate to start with a little Ancient History. Let us go back to September of l9h8, the fateful day when twenty seven students, bashful and hesitating, stood before the good old Norwell High School, waiting for the bell to sound that would start them on a four year course in trials and tribulations -- good times, happy friendships and in- structive work. Our class won the prize for the best centerpiece at the Annual Banquet held on Class Night. We originated the idea of a revolving merry-go-round with musical accompaniment. This just goes to prove how superior the Class was, even when we were little Freshmen. Too soon the month of September rolled around again. This time we were a group of well-read, knowledge-seeking Sophomores. But our class was so depleted that the remaining few wandered about the empty homeroom at a loss. We gasped at how big our class was not. But next in the line of events, was the arrival of the Rice family. Cynthia and Ellsworth Rice appeared, and the class set towork making them feel at home. This done, we plunged whole-heartedly into the annual interclass play competition. Our play, nElizabeth's Young Man,n starred Judy Hall, Don Merritt Marya Cellini, and Patricia Terry. The Judges were not impressed. The basketball season and the trip to the Islands joyfully came and joy- fully went. After a few more weeks of hard studying and stiff exams, we were released to collect sunburns and freckles until September. In our Junior year, we found three new classmates: Alberta Smith, Peter Wyllie, and Marjorie Louison. Next in the order of activities for the High School was the interclass plays. We won the trophy'with overwhelming ease that year. At last the Junior Prom plans began. Little com ittee meetings buzzed for weeks, and the finished product was a beautifully decorated hall and a very successful dance. The high and mighty Class of 1952 came fearlessly up the steps of Norwell High School. We were Seniors now, and we demanded respect. We had one new member in our class. Kathleen Caron had wisely decided to leave Hanover to be with our famous class at graduation. The basketball season came, and nine of our class members played on the teams. Three of our boys were players on the South Shore Tournament Champion- ship team. Glenn Mesheau, Tom Peachey, and Don Merritt were our heroes. The days of this happy period have passed all too quickly HUP UI- 50' are about to go on to higher institutions of learning or out into the world to seek our way. Let us not forget the commendable record the Class of 1952 is leaving at Norwell High School, and may our members maintain the high ideals the fighting spirit, and the clean record that has characterized their four years' stay at Norwell High. Let us not forget, also, Mr. Small and the faculty who have done their best to prepare us for the position in life which is waiting for us. As a final word, I should like to close this history with a bit of advice: Watch the Class of 1952 for their contributions to the ranks of success- ful men and women.
