TIOT 'I939 NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY As the population of Norwood expanded, the need for a new high school was evi- dent. In September, 1926, the newly-built school was opened. Situated in an elevated section in the southwestern part of the town, it creates an atmosphere of dignity with remote and beautiful surroundings. The building, itself, is considered one of the finest architectural structures in Massachusetts. Approximately 500 pupils entered the school in 1926. Mr. Leonard Grant was princi al at this time. He held this position until he was appointed Superin- tendant ofPSchools in 1927, when Mr. Herbert Archibald took over the duties of principal. Mr. Leighton Thompson became principal in 1936. Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch was appointed as sub-master in 1931, and Mr. Charles Hayden, who is still sub- master, succeeded him in 1933 when Mr Lynch became Superintendent of Schools. Miss Gow, who was appointed Dean of Girls in 1929, still holds this ofiice. With the number of pupils increasing with time, a new wing was built in 1931 to meet the need. The lowest number of graduates of the school occurred in 1927 when 114 students left the school. 236 pupils in 1936 constituted the largest graduating class. 7
