r Vgkrf, W l,,,,.'3,- A, ..A.-,,,L ., , L 'WGWQ .-tiff 1, .0 H N U 5 .5 Aa' nf SCl'l.0C5Q QDCLLJA School days. School days. Self-important seniors strolling to class to catch up on the latest news, iaunty iuniors already thinking about their prom, silly sophomores forever worrying about keeping up with the styles, and frightened freshies reading the numbers on the doors and usually ending up in the wrong place-a typical day at Norwood High. Seventeen became the high school girl's friend and companion. Frank Sinatra and Franklin D. Roosevelt again proved the people's choice in their various professions. Skirts were not so full, but neatly pleated, and sweaters less bag-like in shape. Regardless of rationing, saddles and casuals reigned supreme, and that new sleek hair-do became popular although bangs and pomps were still much in evidence. The burr hair- cut still prevailed among our male population, while drapes, less zooty suits, bright plaid shirts, soft cashmeres, and gay socks and ties adorned their manly l?l frames. After an unusually warm autumn, Norwood welcomed a white Christmas-and then some. ln fact, the ground remained covered by a sheet of ice and snow all winter long. The Eton cap, a dink with a tiny visor, made its appearance in all colors, no doubt to keep the brains of style-conscious chicks warm. We went to all the games and dances, wangled dates for the class plays and prom, in fact we did about everything and loved it. The woeful looks on the seniors' faces at exam time made the freshmen glad for once that they were freshmen. We proudly said goodbye to all the guys who joined up with Uncle Sam, looking forward to the time they would come marching home again. We had fun, but we had our serious side too. The whole student body was conscious of a deep responsibility to our boys fighting for us in some foreign country. Every Monday we bought stamps and bonds, dedicating field ambulances for each of our gold stars. Our boys enrolled in preinduc- tion classes, while the girls backed them up by making surgical dressings and scrapbooks and taking first aid and nursing courses. We worked hard on scrap and paper drives and clothes col- lections. We did all these things and many more. We are proud of our part, but we are humble when we remember how small our share in victory is compared to that of others. 5

But what a difference it would make to our civilization if high school stu- dents were to use it as an expression of their educational ambitions. Gone, indeed, would be those false measures of educational achievement--required books to be read, so many credits to be earned, so many hours to be spent. ln their place would come the quest for the pertinent facts out of which iudgment grows. ln consequence, tomorrow's America would become a stronger, richer, better place in which to live. Not a bad idea-- Don't Fence Me ln!
