J. Philip Olmes, Pearl E. Ewing, Gaylord Humberger. ine Gifs The Fine Arts Department of N. H. S. has much to offer its students. From the first cymbal crash in September till summer vacation the band marches, counter-marches, twirls, perspires, and sends little tingles up and down one's spine. Everyone enioys Miss Ewing's music classes so much that arising an hour earlier to sing in the choir and glee clubs is a mere nothing to her students compared to their enioyment of their work. The third part of this department is build- ing some strong muscles too. Sandwiched in be- tween drawing, painting, sculptoring, crafts, and commercial art is the making of posters, which have helped to put over practically every proiect N. H. S. has ever undertaken. Nearly a half thousand are made each year. The exist- ence of these interests stimulates the activities of the student body. Look at our blooming Rembrandts! 9

F .' m t ig V '.,,v, . B. M. HANNA Principal of Norwood High School Norwood youth may anticipate greatly ex- panded opportunities in education and voca- tions as preparation for their part in this new era of adventure and achievement, prosperity and peace. The modern age carries frightful possibilities and grave responsibilities for young and old CHARLOTTE E. KEHM Dean of Girls wi mlb ohm, alike. Modern warfare with its scientific de- velopments has made it impossible for us ever to return to our old way of living and has made imperative a new way of thinking in develop- ing new social and economic processes. Youth has opportunities in this new world far beyond the wildest imaginings of a few short years ago, but by the same token, youth has great responsibilities which it must be pre- pared to assume. Shall we have a new era of world brotherhood with peace and good-will as our goal, or shall we plunge into a push- button war which will assuredly bring an end to civilization as we know it? Youth must declde since it has inherited a world at the cross-roads of civilization. lt is great to be back at Norwood High help- ing the young people with their problems and helping to prepare them for life in this new atomic age. CARL H. ALBRECHT Dean of Boys

Business methods, bookkeeping, business management, office practice, short- hand, typewriting, business English, commercial law, and business principles are the different subiects which make up the complete commercial program. ln the senior year, commercial students may continue the regular commercial program or they may enroll in the commercial co-operative class, which includes work experience in their training. For the past six years the co-op class has averaged twenty-tive students per year. Many of our students passed the Civil Service examinations in May and received appointments to government positions. Have you noticed those good-looking gold pins some of the seniors are wearing? They are award pins and indicate proficiency in type- writing, shorthand, or bookkeeping. Advanced class in ABC's, I0 l
