The Norwood Board of Educa- tion has taken a liberal attitude in its efforts to cooperate, with the National Defense Program. Probably the largest single part of the program has been that de- voted to the Defense Classes in Machine Shop Training. ln addi- tion to regular day classes, two night shifts running from three o'cloclc in the afternoon until six in the morning are operated seven days each week. Excellent placement on the graduates has been accomplished. The Nor- wood schools have made a defi- nite contribution the the war effort in this field. Another innovation of the Board of Education has been the introduction of classes on con- sumer education. These classes are intended to help housewives make the most of the possibilities in planning for home program goat? of gaucafion and in budgeting the family in- come. Such subjects as the budget, nutrition, interior decor- ation and others are covered. Facilities of the schools have been used at all times in promot- ing the U. S. O., Defense Stamp Sales, Book Drives, Sugar Ration- ing, and the collection of sal- vaged materials. The schools are doing their part in the drive for Victory and Democracy. The Board of Education is giv- ing thorough study to the ideas brought out by the recent sur- veys conducted among the high school youth, the out-of-school youth and the adults of the com- munity. The ultimate purpose is to plan a curriculum that will be useful to the students, changes in the curriculum are being planned that will make it flexible enough to meet the needs of the individual student. 40

701 amefaican Designi . NOHWOOD HIGH SCHOOL Sherman Avenue can't forget to mention the zoot suit which leads the fashion parade for '42. Our girls wear the standard uniforms, unpleasantly c l e a n saddles or casual mocassins, pastel sox, long matching lai- lopy sweaters and short pleated skirts. The girls are all garnished with giggles. Times don't change, nor do our programs. The office ladies say No to program changes, whether for naive lowerclass- men, or the sophisticated upper- classmen. In the halls all is activity, clanging lockers, c h e e r f u l hello's, quick exchange of cur- rent news, and sounds of hurry- ing footsteps. A new semester begins. School activities get into full swing, clubs organize, football practice starts. Our new librarian is Miss Brue. On December 8, Monday, the entire student body attended an 03 P impressive assembly to hear President Roosevelt's speech. Mr. Hanna pointed out the folly of boys withdrawing to enlist. Their best service until called is to continue their studies. There was much for us to do in defense projects. Ninth Uppers sponsor- ed a paper drive and magazines were collected for the U. S. O. Books were collected to send to the boys in service. Girls hem- med bandages for the Red Cross. We sold Defense Stamps every Monday morning. In March Mr. Albrecht, dean of boys, enlisted in the United States Army. To arouse interest in defense activities, the school sponsored a number of programs. Changing from Eastern Stand- ard Time to Eastern War Time confused many of our intelli- gent classmates. Six weeks of starting to school before light didn't make us healthy, wealthy, or wise.
