PARKER WARD and PETER WARD The Senior class lost a set of twins and two of its most outstanding members when the Ward boys, Peter and Parker, moved to Michigan with their family.

CLASS POEM By PEARL ciPoLi.o The years that went so swiftly by Have left us treasures rare: The boy we fell in love with first, The girl with braided hair. No tide of years can steal away Our golden memories, No trial or pain can conquer dreams That are realities. The bitter tears when hopes grew weak, The times we nearly failed Proved just to be the stormy clouds, The rocks upon the trail. We fancied life with school 'days gone Like Heaven here on earth, Now, with remorse, we understand We didn't know their worth! A sigh for Alma Mater Days, A tear for friends we part, A kiss to all theteachers Who will live within our hearts. We stand with pride before the world To go our separate ways- But never will our hearts forget The happy golden days. f UE X' l , 6W'Ar1Blr1aus-D.ELuon ' W Q ZMA-ATHLETIC-D.HAvNES 1 SMITH-Bur vAucm-csmnm-,S X , Q M R01UHD0'Bf5T DRESSID-I BAKER Q 0 -4 A- OATE5- BLUSH- c.rR,NK 0 Q 133 N- RICHARDS-BUILD-Ascumgc, M O fi Q H' Avmgncf-cHATrfRnox-n,nmwI f D.

PIQESIDENTS ADDRESS The world today is in a state of utter confusion and turmoil. We have a war in Korea, disagreement in the United Nations, corruption in our own government, and general unrest the world over. lt would seem as if these conditions were hopelessly irreparable. Yet, in spite of all this, we are told that the world has never been closer to world peace than it is today. This may be difficult to comprehend at first, but never before has the world been so unified. Actually the only stumbling block between our present situation and complete world peace is dictatorial Communism, which stems from the Kremlin in Russia. lt was the Communists' forceful aggression in Korea which has placed us in another war, it is the Communists' obstinate stalling that is keeping us in war, it is the Communists' desire to keep the world disunited that is interfering with the work of the United Nations Organization. Even in our own great land the seed of Communism has been sown and has influenced some into trading individual rights for tyranny and dictatorship. The recent crime investigations, conducted by the United States Senate In- vestigations Committee, revealed the appalling results of the Communists' attempts to gain a stronghold here in the United States, as well as the numerous evidences of corruption in our government. We must eliminate these hateful practices here in America before we can hope to obtain that coveted objective, world peace. ln order to accomplish this, however, we must unite, regardless of religion, color, or ancestry. We must ask God's help, as his children, to guide us in this time of need so that by working together we may someday realize the peace and happiness which we are working so hard to bring about and for which so many have given up their lives. It is with these thoughts in mind that we prepare to leave Norwichl-ligh School. In doing so, it is only fitting that we recall these past four years and the influence which they have had upon our ideas and way of life. They have been years of fun, work, and progress. In gratitude, therefore, to our parents, teachers, and clergy, we pledge ourselves to meet this challenge before us, incouraging brotherhood and despising Communism and corruption. We further resolve that we will strive diligently toward the goal of world peace that those who have given up their lives for freedom shall not have died in vain. JOSEPH FAVALARO Class of '52 VALEDI CTORY Tonight we saw the Negro as he was in i859-a clove, forced to do as his owner wished, not allowed to lead the life of his own choice. Why should he be a slave and have to live a life of hardships and sufferings? How could he free himself of these chains that bound him? Into his darkness came a shining ray of hope that kept growing brighter and brighter. Yes, a friendly hand had-,been.outstretched, guiding him on and on, never ceasing till safety was found. A strong force had broken those chains that bound him and the Negro was free-free to live a life no longer subject to the dictates of others. And now looking toward Asia and Europe, we see countries that are slaves- slaves to communist rule. Why should these countries be dominated by one great power, forced to live in misery? They, too, see a ray of light and the guiding hand of the United States. Striving to free these countries from the terrors of Communism, we have formed pacts and organizations. Displaced persons have found a home here in America. Here they can start life anew with freedom to speak, write and pray without fear. ,, We are indeed fortunate to be graduating in a free country. Here in America we have the privilege of preparing for the vocation of our own choice. What is more, we are provided with every means of securing the necessary education. We should be proud of our country! Not only is it providing for its own citizens but it is also striving to aid those of other countries less fortunate than we. Ever since its birth, this country has been dedicated to freedom-freedom for people to live as' they and only they desire. As this class leaves the beloved halls of Norwich High School, we leave with the assurance of freedom to live as we want. But we must remember that before this freedom can possibly be attained for the whole world, there must be tolerance, respect, and understanding for the other person. Our gratitude should be expressed not only to those in the community who have aided us in our preparation for life, but also to our forefathers who built the foundation upon which our Democracy is based. We owe a great deal to a great number of people--let us never forget our obligations to them and to the country in which we live. MARY SMITH Class of '52 SALUTATORV This evening, the Commencement night of the Class of '52 is an occasion to which we have been looking forward for four years. As we come together for the last time, our thoughts turn toward our years of high school and their effect on our future. We believe that we have, to some extent, prepared ourselves for citizenship in the world today. We hear a great deal at this time, as every graduating class does, about our fine record of achievement, about a difficult struggle, and about a deserved victory. We do not think of our four years at N. H. S., however, as merely a record of achievement, or a difficult struggle, or a deserved victory, because we know that these years do not represent anything as simple as that. Many of us realize that we have not always done our utmost in our studies and activities, and that, if given another chance, we undoubtedly would take greater advantage of the opportunities offered us. Although we are well aware of this fact, we now feel without regret or a sense of shame, that we have achieved a better understanding of our abilities and our limitations. While we are proud of our achievement, we nevertheless know that Norwich High has meant more to us in human relationships. lt has been the working together, with our fellow students, and with our faculty-not always in perfect harmony, but always in meaningful relationships. This has offered the most to us, and for this we are grateful. With such a background we shall endeavor to remember the lessons we have learned. Unless people can get along with one another, there can be no peace in the world. By getting along together do l mean that we should show tolerance toward one another, or is tolerance the right word? Rather is it not a true spirit of fellowship and brotherly love, which does not ask a person to which race he belongs? This spirit must be carried out, not just in our town or country, but throughout the world. Joshua Liebman once said, The greatest blessing that God has given man is the ability to build new bridges of human companionship until the day that we die. NANCY OATES '52 CLASS WILL I We, the graduating seniors of '52, the boys being of sound minds, the girls being of fine bodies, have set such a high standard in all phases of school life, that we feel it our moral obligation to bequeath to those remaining at NHS those things that will best afford them some measure of the joy and happiness we have ex- perienced. The first bequest goes to the teachers here at Norwich High. To ou, true friends, go my deepest sympathies and my sisters, Sal, Peg, Ann, and brotlier Mike and this one word of advice-duck! , l To the firstinterested Junior boy to come up with a draft card, Gus Baker offers an approved list of high-class, uh, eating establishments. Tom Manley, Bill Watson and Phil Bailey receive honorary membership in the Jockey's Association of America, Eddie Arcaro, president. So that Sue Leventhal and Carol Cass can grow up big-woops, tall and strong, Ed Beers leaves his insatiable appetite. - Maurice Jacquay, the lad with the horn-rimmed glasses, who usually makes a spectacle of himself, is the recipient of a return trip ticket to next year's chemistry class. 'Given another crack at it, we're confident that he'II evenutally succeed in blowing the lab sky high. Continuing in the Oates tradition, Nancy leaves her blush and a Velvet dixie cup toSoIlyiChilds. ' ' ' ' Peter O'Hara, the incomparable orator, gets a lar e, sticky roll of scotch tape, so that he may save his ,words for next years Legion Oratorical Contestq ' An economysized jarof vanishing cream goes to Ed Ackley. Without Beers, Favaloro, and'Betlz in his forward wall, he's going to feel like vanishing, come next footbalf seasonf ' ' t ' Junior. Simmbns leaves to Ernie Schraft and Howard Ryan autographed copies of his latest edition' eititled, HOW TO WIN GIRLS, AND INFLUENCE THEIR MOTHERS. it To Jim Horan, an' 'expert at shooting off his mouth, we leave a high speed rifle and urge him to go right ahead. To all Junior boys ISW and over, we leave the Army, Navy or Marines. The Air Force is a way over their heads. Jean Gallinger is doing O.K. b herself, but should she ever need any assistance, we, the graduating senior lads of 'b2, leave our telephone numbers. To remind all next year's Seniors of the importance of constantly using correct grammar, we leave Miss Thompson, our fourth year English teacher. Art Bartlett leaves for all underclassledl men to dream about, the lovely Pat Wiktorek. ' ' ' To Alice Reed, Mardeth Young, and Ruth Purple, the Mason twins, June and Ginger, leave tips on how to be late for school eight days a week and get away wit it. The Junior Trio, composed of Ann Bowers, Sarah Schofield and Mar Pires, shall from,this day forth be known as the Air Wick Five Minus Two, tlle title being forwarded gratuitously by Spadaro and Picolla, Inc. To those of you who have received nothing in particular, we leave Mr. Miers and his new course of sermons called Life, Liberty and The Happiness of Pursuit. . In terminating this will, allow me to make like a greeting card and say sincerely: To all of you from all of us, thanks, and best wishes for happiness and success in the years ahead. - I r EDMUND L. SCHOFIELD, JR. i I Class '52 ADDRESS TG UNDERGRADLIATES Upon its departure from the hallowed halls of N. H. S., the graduating class of '52 deprives the faculty of any further pleasurable associations with the illustrious personages who comprise it. Fro-fi the ecstatic heights of instructing the intelligentsia of the departing Senior class, the teaching staff must now be degraded to the point of endeavoring futilely to impart knowledge to the conglomeration of miscreants, who are called for want of another printable designation, the Undergraduates. What a blow!! Across the corridor from the spacious mansions of the elite, Senior Study Hall, whereunto all lower-classmen aspire, there is situated a clearinghouse for the dregs of humanity, the refugees from Skid Row and the Bowery, known in polite terminology as the Junior ClusS The study of these neanderthal relics is most interesting as is the study of all other forms of lower-type life. The most appalling characteristic of the entire iclassl? is the rampant infantilism. ln other classes, this trait has been manifested in the form of squirt guns, yo-yos, and lollipops, but these ingenious misfits have found that there are other, more satisfying toys-namely, cars. This group of hot rodders, led by Wild Bill Watson and Speedy Anderson delights in splashing mud on harmless old ladies and scaring the daylights out of pedestrians. Bud Sheehan, another of this crew, has effectively combined his two loves, rifle team and driving, by mounting gunsights on his hood. Watch out, he can't miss now! . Of these lOO odd land the emphasis is on -oddl beings, only two, Fred Fazio and Nick Elia, have grown up to the point of shaving. Nick, however, is unique among his fellow creatures. He is the only one of them who has 5 o'clock shadow at 9 in the morning. Also residing in Ward 206-Psycopathic, is the perfect picture of what the ideal American boy is not, a good example of a bad actor-Pete O'Hara. Pete was elected into Chi Alpha because of his character, which he certainly is! Perhaps the most frustrated person in the class is Stringbean Chirlin, whose secret ambition is to grow so fat that, if he falls down, he will rock himself to sleep trying to get up Chirliri is an athlete in his own right, but he can't compare with Stone, Simmons, Ron Tyler, and All-around Ed Ackley. If you dont believe these boys are good, just ask them. They'll tell you. Going lower than the Junior class, lhow much lower can you get?l we find other sports stars, -Swales, Schraft and Ryan, all of whom are Mexican athletes. Bull throwers. While on the subject of athletics, we refer you to the unparalled football star, coach Beyer's pride and joy-Dick Bowers, who vacations during the off-season in that famous health resort, Warm Mattress, which is just above Hot Springs. Thus far, we have avoided any mention of the fair sex, only because such as are found in the Junior Class do not really belong there, no, they belong in a side show, with a few notable exceptions A great favorite among the movie-going portion of the lower classes are those short subjects Sue Levanthal and Elaine Williams. And how about Beth Burr, the great tumbler, who really fell for a certain senior? The juniors tried to set an example for the entire country when they put a woman president in office. She won the election by campaigning under the name of Jolel Testa. While on the subject of officers, maybe we should call the police. Treasurer John S. lfor Sticky fingersi Ferry has just bought another share of stock in the Chenango Hotel. Then there is Judy Millspaugh, whose lovely smile is the result of her beautiful teeth, whicl' are like stars. They come out at night. One more word, this about Sarah Schofield, who hopes to become a lady surgeon. lf she doesn't get her medical degree, Sal will still have a great future ahead of her- as wart remover in a pickle factory. Having completed a study of the most insignificant species of homo sapiens to be found any- where save for the deepest depths of darkest Africa, we must now leave the gloss cage wherein these pitable personages are kept. As we turn to leave our r curosity is aroused by the sight of a little woman reeling beneath the weight of several tons of goobers, lpeanuts to the Juniorsl. lnvestigatior- cgiscloses :rat this is only Zoo Curator Obuhanych, viho informs us it is once again feeding time in Junior tudy Ha . ' Although, on the basis of what hasbeen said, there appears to be little hope for these individuals, they have our best wishes for success in their struggle to become civilized. JOHN PAINO-Class of 52 LJNDEl2Gl2ADLJATE'S REPLY The world situation is at a crisis, such as we have never seen before. Russia and the United States, the leading powers of the world, are on the verge of another World War. Most people believe that it is only a matter of time till the spark is struck which will commence the fire of fires. For the past twenty years the faculty of the'fNorwich Public School system has had the greatest problem of all time before them. What is this problem? The class of '52, of course. The one voter' most likely to start World War Ill. Perchance you h:ive noticed strange men walking orouhd the building at different times. These men are secret agents from Washington who are endeavoring to keep tht Class of '52 in school and out of the active life of the world. But now with the closing of a long Democratic administration, the government must let this class graduate. This information was procured at a risk of death by one of my agents who entered Senior Study Hall. Also, he found the following ambitions of a few seniors. READ closely and see why this class is o deadly menace to World Peace. ' Joe Favaloro has been practicing track at the Corltand Street Playground so that in the event of a political career in the future, he will be sure to be in the running. Mary Smith and Nancy Oates have both been taking chemistry so that they might study and improve on Peroxide and Tintair. ' Ed Beers has been training the last six years in methods of launching Flying Saucers. How many of you have ever looked at the grillwo.k of Bob Hot Rod Schermerhorn's car coming at you at 73.6 M. P. H. when he suddenly slammed on the brakes and screamed by you on ZM1 wheels? Most people don't know it, but Junior Simmons has a hypnotic device in his baton which makes all the girls swoon over him. ' John Paino has been bu? making plans for his syndicate which hopes to start within a few months. John is the boy who rotted on ostello so that he might take over as Big Man. Gus Baker, the boy from Galena, has more brains than Einstein but they are all in his feet. Ed Schofield lsometimes called lchabodi has been spending years just to learn how to hit o round ball with a stringed stick. Then there are Haynes, Bartlett, and Carson the lover boys of the senior class who are always breaking some girl's heart. I would like to mention Dick Elliott who has been voted the boy most likely to do nothing. Don't forget Martha Veselonovich, Ann Morrone, and Helena Richards, who when Mr. Giltner asked the Chemistry class if they had heard about the moron who said no, all shouted NO. Carol Victor has control of all Benzene in Mr. Giltner's room since she doesn't want to waste a penny's worth of gum. Dorothy Lawrence, the first girl in N. H. S. to demonstrate Hula dancing in Senior Study Hall, has plans for going to Samoa immediately after graduation. Need I continue. This must certainly show vou how dangerous the class of '52 is at present. Out of 4 interclass games they have a O-4 record. The senior class thought they had stymied the Junior class this year but they found out that a Junior doesn't quit without a fire. Most teachers today are afraid to have their pupils face this cruel world. They soy it is a pity that young students should have to live in such a time. ln Norwich there is o difference of opinion, the teachers hate to have the world face the class of '52, But class of '52 , you have all our wishes for good luck since you'll certainly need it. Fame and fortune to you in the future.

Thus started the confusion that is apparent only in an incoming Frosh. Much sooner than most Freshmen, however, we learned the numbers on the doors and conducted ourselves to our classes in safety. With the guidance of Mr. Gibson we decided whether Dramatics, Band, or Debate would take a place in our school life. We made a very auspicious beginning in our High School career by electing Joe Favaloro-President, Nancy Oates-Vice-President, Secretary-Louise Swales, and George Noble-Treasurer. . June '50 Dear Diary, Returning to our Alma Mater in the fall we anticipated the renewal of friend- ships and of school life with the knowledge that we were actually Sophomores. From the first we were dubbed an extra special class, and we proved this by having a very successful magazine sale under the direction of Mrs. Christman. We voted to put all of last year's officers in for another term. June Sl Dear Diary, When we assembled in 206 last September, we again elected Joe Favaloro, President, Mary Smith, Vice-President, Nancy Oates, Secretary, and Treasurer was Louise Swales. We really were an extra special class, because we broke the record in our magazine sale. We were sure of our worth, since Miss Obuhanych told us we were a class she couldn't look down an. After that declaration, Willoughby, Picolla, Brookins, and Schofield all chipped in and bought her a ladder. This also was the year that Dottie Lawrence became known as the quiet one of the class. Under the guidance of Mr. Giltner, the rest of the year was spent in pre- paring for the Senior Banquet and Junior Prom. Our decorations for the Prom were extra special , of course, since we had flowers and Japanese lanterns for the ceiling. And now we are looking forward to our last year. June '52 Dear Diary, Thoroughly recovered from our strenuous Junior year, we returned in Septem- ber peppier than ever. The only change in officers was Dick Elliott who stepped in as Vice-President. The outstanding talents of our class were displayed in the floor show at our Senior Frolic. Such sparkling personalities were present as our Boys' Sextet famous for their lharmonizing?J, John Paino's chorus line called the Rock- ettes lOrigin of name comes from rehearsal-John always said, O.K. rock it, girlsll, and none other than that rip-roaring cowgirl Texas Lil . This year, in order not to break our outstanding record, we again lost our interclass game. Of course, the Juniors were just a little surprised that morning to find diapers all over room 206. Then our thought and time were spent on our yearbook and other phases of graduation. When we, the class of 52, entered N. l-l. S., we knew little of the wonderful events in store for us. Graduation seemed somewhere in the very distant future. But now that four short years have passed, and our last Class Day, in fact our last everything concerning N. H. S., is here, we carry in, our hearts the memory of happy times shared with one another. NANCY OATES, Secretary '52 A-1 E- X X, X a t ,A Q M W 0, f X Q A 0,1 y V 1 Q f uf f , R I 9 I fi X ' ' W x .

MARY HOGUE Chi Alpha, the Greek letters which represent the initials of the words character and application, is the name of our Norwich Chapter of the National I-lonor Society. The members are chosen for their character, service and leadership as well as for their scholarship. ln February eight seniors and nine juniors, selected by the faculty and student body, were inducted into Chi Alpha at an assembly program, conducted by the president, Richard Elliott. Later, the new members were formally initiated at a party given in their honor. As one of its projects this year, the organization prepared the Student Fland- book. Also the group sponsored a skit which was performed in the gym. Since Mr, Flynn is to become the new advisor to the organization, the present, as well as the past members of Chi Alpha, join in gratefully thanking Miss Wells for her many years of service and contribution to the organization as its advisor. l-ll TRIBUNE JournalismAthe first power in the land Front Rowi Edward Franklin, John Paino, Dirck Stager, Ruth Conrad, Gloria Nazzitto, Constance Dgv.ne, Donald Dietrich, Michael Schofield.
