NORWOOD (The Norwood High School Song) There ' s a school on the hill called Norwood, And her sons and daughters, too, Are all the true supporters Of her glorious flag of blue, And whene ' er her sons are fighting, And would rather die than yield, You can hear the school that backs them up Go singing down the field. Chorus Norwood, dear Norwood, We sing to you, We will be loyal to your flag of blue So Norwood, dear Norwood, as years go by, Give us a cheer Rah! Rah! Give us a cheer Rah! Rah! Cheer for Norwood High. To the school on the hill called Norwood, And her flag of blue above We will pledge our dear devotion And never dying love, Although time may dim her mem ' ry, And the years their change may bring, We will still be true to Norwood High, And still we ' ll proudly sing.

®lj£ Iftetnrg nf % (ftlaaa Well Seniors, in a few days we ' ll all be Alumni. We ' ll have received those cherished diplomas, and all started on different roads to success. Since we may never again be gathered together like this we may never have another opportunity for remi- niscing. Remember our Sophomore year, especially those first few weeks. We couldn ' t find our classrooms. Almost everybody was a stranger. Everyone seemed to be going in the opposite direction until we found out that we were using the wrong side of the corridor. And when we did get on the right side, people kept jumping out in front of us without warning. We learned that these were the traffic officers, friendly souls who could smile and politely direct us to the boiler room when we were looking for our English class. However, it didn ' t take us long to get accustomed to the routine of the school. Then we turned to the important business of choosing class officers. We elected Martin Curran, President and Paul Murphy, Vice-President. Mary Drummey was Secretary and Paul Bernier was A. A. Council Representative. We left our financial affairs to Vera Daunt and John Bonica. Then remember our first social function, the Sophomore Party. We held it late in October and Martin Curran was Master of Ceremonies. That was the first time we realized how much talent there was in our class. The entertainment was so good that Mr. Thompson asked some of our more talented classmates to enter- tain the entire school at the next Assembly. After that brief moment in the spotlight it seemed that school would never end, but the year finally dragged to a close. After a much too short summer vacation we returned for our Junior year. Remember the great pleasure we took in telling each of our Sophomore ac- quaintances that he had the hardest marker in the school for English and he would be lucky to make four points. We knew all the teachers and all there was to know about the school. We chose our class officers almost immediately. We elected Paul Murphy, President and William Costello, Vice-President. Ruth Steele was Secretary and once again Paul Bernier was A. A. Council Representative. Vera Daunt and George Hillman were Treasurers. Then we had our Junior Party. Remember how some of the boys paraded about in girl ' s clothing and how we enjoyed that fine singing that was to be ex- pected of a talented class like ours. In February we held our first formal dance, the Junior Promenade. It was an outstanding success and it made our class the envy of the entire school. When the year ended in June, remember how we all spent the summer looking forward to our final year. After the first night ' s homework, however, all the glamour attached to being a Senior was gone and another dreary year seemed to be in store for us. But 1942 was not an ordinary year nor one that will be soon forgotten. Our first official act as Seniors was the choice of class officers. We elected
