Bates, Superintendent of Schools: Frank Ward: I. Sherman Oberhelm , retired 1942. 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

We face serious and trying times ahead-not only through- out the present emergency, but also in the years to come, in the World - after - the - War. America must prepare for peace. This is the responsibility of you young people. For most of you, the school room is the place during our present struggle. Secure for yourself a usable edu- cation to stand you in good stead in your adult years, and you do the largest possible serv- ice to your country. Foresight, preparing for the aftermath of national strife, is your truest form of patriotism. Harold S. Bates 3 ff B. M. HANNA Principal oi Norwood High School Franklin College, B. A.: University of Chicago, M. A. Democracy, our common but our most priceless heritage, is Worth fighting for. The enemy from Within is sometimes more deadly than the enemy from Without, and the best Weapon of defense for our youth is Educa- tion and Training. Our lives are now disturbed by Wars which unleash the Worst evils of past ages to kill and de- stroy. Young and old must share the burdens of War, but We must prepare for Peace. Let us do Well the task before us and Work for a just and lasting Peace for our- selves and for those who come after us. B. M. Hanna 60
