At that time our members were many more than now, but the road was rough and, by the time we were ready for graduation, we were reduced to a group of fifteen. In February, 1923, we became Sophomores, much to our delight, though some of us wondered how it happened. We were also moved to the second floor, which made us feel that we were going up. As a result, we felt very important in contrast to the people downstairs who were Freshmen. The next year we were hailed as Juniors and were permitted to organize our class. The first election resulted in choosing Reynold Horstmeyer, Alice Bennett and Herbert Williams as our leaders. The next semester we re-elected the same officers. Our Faculty Advisors were Miss N. H. Fairweather and Mr. Miller. . At last came our Senior days with Miss Morton and Mr. Dunn advising us. Reynold Horstmeyer was our President, with lone Ogle, Vice-President: Alice Bennett, Secretaryg and Austin Barrows, Treasurer. The last semester retained Reynold Horstmeyer as our Class President, with Barbara Benham, Vice-President: Helen Hungerford, Secretary: and again Austin Barrows as Treasurer. After some consideration, we chose our class colors, American Beauty and Silver, and also our class motto, Ad astra pez' aspera -'sto the stars through struggle. Our members have well represented us in high school activities. Emil Werner was one of the school's best basketball players, and Albert Trauth was a football player. The orchestra will be sorry to lose Austin Barrows and his Cornet. Helen Hungerford was an active worker on The Mirror Staff, and she will be missed by the Glee Club. In closing this history, our class, with deepest regrets, leaves old Norwood High with its splendid organizations and its kind and understanding Faculty. - LILLIAN PITZER. is

We don't be- lieve, however, that anyone can accuse him of over-study. His hobby is hard to make specinc, so you'd better ask him. May good luck continue into his future. CARL SCHMUELLING Athletic Association '23, '24, '25, '26. Carl's quiet manner is never disturbed, and excitement is unknown to him. My, but a little calm is refreshing these days! They say he has knowledge of radios. Carl's pleasant personality has certainly gained many friends for him at N. H. S.
