wh school ubrak TIOT 1943 NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY Nichols Street Norwood, MA 02062 We ARE the second war class of Norwood High School. What will be our reactions as we come in contact with a world at war? What will be our qualifications for giving substantial aid to the war effort? These are questions which might well arise in the mind of any member of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-three. We do not hesitate to answer them. Anyone who has spent three years at Norwood High School is aware of the high morale which pervades at all times on the hill. There is a sense of pride in a job well done which belongs to every member of such a progressive class as our own. Throughout our stay we have participated in sports and other extra-curricula activities which have strengthened our character immeasurably. We need not flinch at the situation which confronts us. Due to such an environment and due to the daily contact with our capable teachers we are well equipped to look the world in the eye, inblinkingly, confident in our success. What will be our qualifications? The Norwood High School offers one of the best educational programs in the state. Pupils who have availed themselves of the excellent facilities of our school have no grounds for worry about comparing most favorably with the graduates of any other high school in the country. For the boys who are mechanically inclined the school furnishes a full-time shop course augmented by mechanical drawing. For boys who have a leaning toward science Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Aeronautics, and Navagation classes are offered. Girls are permitted to choose from an assortment of subjects among which are Typing, French, Latin, Bookkeeping, and Art. The Peabody School girls will have an enviable background in such arts as Beauty Culture, Retail Selling and Business. Can there be any reasonable doubt that the Norwood High School equips its students with all the kinds and amount of knowledge which they care to absorb? Can there be any doubt that the class of nineteen hundred and forty-three is prepared to meet the crisis? We are the second war class of Norwood High School. Our reactions will be favorable because we have the fighting spirit. Our qualifications will be more than adequate because we are blessed with a high school founded on the undying principles of Democracy.

Council 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 where ' 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. C|e Mislorg of lUfye Class With an undercurrent of enthusiasm, along with a deep sense of tragedy, plus a grim determination to overcome the dismal obstacle of three long years of life within confining walls, 257 odd pupils mounted the steps of good old Norwood High back in the fatal year of 1940. I use the word fatal for it could have been nothing but the hand of fate that would have attempted to enclose in four walls such a clan as ours. From the over- whelming excitement with which we entered into our crazy schemes to make our class outstanding, to the calm air of nonchalance which we displayed when our schemes failed to produce results, we were indeed a class whose equal has not yet been seen, nor likely to be seen in the near future. Our class politicians have always, in our three years on the hill been exceedingly ( over ) active. Everything from bribery, speeches, and remarks (?) written beside names on the ballot have been successfully introduced. But in spite of this, the candi- dates have always come out alive, none the worse for their experience; the losers have always been willing and eager to congratulate their opponents, who have in every case proved to be capable and worthy leaders. The first social function of our high school career was our Sophomore Party. All who participated in it can recall only that it was a huge success. It was here that many new friendships that were to last throughout high school were formed. However, it hardly seemed that the school year had begun when it was suddenly over. It was vacation time. But to those who love their freedom that vacation was so short, it seemed merely, the pause that refreshes. Although many of our activities were curtailed by the present emergency, it did not interfere to any great extent with our athletics. Despite the fuel shortage and other hardships, our football squad certainly carved out for themselves a mighty important niche in the records of our football history, and they deserve every honor for presenting to us an undefeated season. While on the subject of sports, we must not fail to mention our newly formed hockey team. Although this was their first season, they certainly showed promise and we feel certain that some day they will bring great honor to our school because of their record. As we now begin, at this graduation hour, to think back over our senior year, we cannot help but realize the effect of the war on every single activity in which we have entered. Our class has suffered the loss of some of our most devoted friends and advisors. I speak of those six members of the faculty who felt it their duty to enter into military service. Needless to say, however, we can patriotically boast that what is our loss is Uncle Sam ' s gain, and that, today, is certainly the most im- portant issue to be considered. Three years have now passed since we entered the doors of our high school with grave misgivings and a feeling that our lives were to be an endless procession of futile tasks. These years have passed all too quickly, and we now realize that school life is not made up entirely of routine tasks that seem so irksome when we are doing them, but it is a period when we work, yes, but we also play; and the memories of these years will always be with us. It is with these cherished memories plus the added incentive that we must prove to the world that this generation of future American citizens are as sensible and reliable as the generations of yesteryear, that we, the class of ' 43 bid our beloved Alma Mater a fond Adieu.

Time: Some time Situation: Evelyn Carpenter, on her way back to Norwood after a vacation in New York, has run into Edward Chandler, a South American shoe salesman, who, after several weeks of business in New York, is on his way back to his job. They have met in Grand Central Station and, to pass the time between trains, are discussing their old classmates. Ed: What have you been doing in New York during your vacation? Ev: Well, just a few days ago, I ran into Morse Payne. He ' s running an escort bureau now and doing very well. Ed: What kind of attractions in the line of men has he? Ev: Oh! His chief attraction is the dazzling Paul Guilderson, the sharpest lad who ever hit Broadway. Dickie Spear, Fran Petraitis, and John McGilvray are also constantly in demand. Ed: Speaking of Broadway, I hear that Rucky Lorusso has a pretty swanky night club in that district. The last I heard Walter Dauksiwich ' s orchestra was still packing them in, with the Sansone sisters as vocalists. Ev: You bet. In fact just a few days ago I stopped in for a night of fun and saw New York ' s most famous play boy, Bob Coyne with the year ' s number one deb, Virginia Reardon. Jo Elliot and Muriel Logue are the popular cigarette girls. Ed: By the way, did you visit Coney Island while you were here? Ev: Oh, sure, and you ' d never guess who has an act over there. Eddie Praino is running a side show, and for a feature attraction, he throws daggers at Marie Long, his assistant. Ed: That ' s quite a job. Remember Eddie McLean and John Hayes? Down in South America, they ran a fake side show where Marion Chubet read palms and was called Madam Zombie. Danny Griffin was dressed up as the man from Mars. Ev: How was business there? Ed: Well, it lasted for quite a while ' til the people caught on, and then it was the solemn duty of Alfred Ambruskevich, the Chief of Police, to take them away in the Black Maria. Ev: I hear Joe Guillemette went down there to write a book on the life and love of a beetle. Ed: Yes, but the heat got him, and now he runs a drug store that really does a land office business. His best customer for Alka Seltzezr is Harry Pasco who is slowly going crazy trying to build a rocket ship that will go to the moon. Ev: Have you heard about those two scientists, Ken Morrow and Nami Mike? They run a loud-speaker manufacturing company. Ed: Oh, yes, speaking of businessmen, as soon as I ger back I have an important appointment with the big shoe manufacturer of South America, Dick Nead. Ev: He ' s quite a success. I hear he has two stores now instead of one. Jennie Zuke, who runs an employment agency, told me that Theresa Procopio, Jean Rafuse, and Barbara Raymond are now working for him. Ed: Remember Ted Curtin, who always wanted to be a captain on his own ship ' At last he attained his ambition. He sails the Hoboken fetty across Long Island Sound daily. Ev: I was leading Peggy Holman ' s advice to the lovelorn column in the Norwood Times the other day, and she was giving advice to Eleanor Bissell on ways to a man ' s heart. Ed: Isn ' t that paper edited by Pota Lewis? Ev: Of course. You must have heard her news commentator, Jimmy Connollv, on the radio every week sponsored by the Hold Fast Safety Pin Company. Ed: I never miss it. Ray Martin certainly has extended his talents broadly to become an executive in the Safety Pin business. In fact, he even has two c a srnate s as salesmen: Orrigo Palmerini and Ed Herig. They have quite a line with the house- wives so Ray says. Ev: Did you hear what happened to the photographer of our class, Charlie Dwane? Well, it seems that he got in a little trouble with the federal authorities, and he is now doing exclusive photographs of the beauties at San Quentin. Ed: The other night I went to a wrestling match at the Garden and saw Jack Conton upset Spirois Georgeu, the Golden Greek. Jack started quick, and before the fight was over, the Greek had sailed out of the ring five times. Adam Smolski was the referee. Ev: Speaking of champions, I saw the world ' s fastest typist in action several days ago. It was none other than Fanny Borowsko, our old classmate. She ' s working for Jean Ferreira and Eleanor Melish who run the Hard Luck Business College. Ed: What ' s happened back in the home town lately? Are any of our old pals still there? Ev: Well, to begin with, Howie Pendergast was just elected Mayor of Norwood You remember Flip Costello, the class politician? He is now District Attorney of East Walpole. They say he talked his way into office with the same old line. Ed: Where ' s Johnny Carroll? Is he still President of the Norwood Bachelors Club? Ev: Yes, and they just had a drive for new members. Richard Byrne, Guy Cister- nelli and Walter Gill were drafted. The Womens ' Club, presided over by Dorothy Holman is also populated by several of the well-known women of Norwood, Olga Grebus, Lillian Jankowski, and Ellen Hoffman. Ed: Did you know Peewee Mackie is now a prominent jockey at Narragansett Park? Incidentally, he did a fine job last spring in bringing in the Kentucky Derby winner owned in partnership by Jack Vaughn and Roger Mansen, the millionaire play- boys. Ev: Bob Readel and Joe Walker have entered the catering business. Did you read about the big wedding that they provided for? Jackie Flaherty walked the last mile with Jo DeRoma, and they were married by Rev. William Ahearn. Ed: Yes, flowers were supplied by Simoni Brothers, and Sally Devine and Marty Morgan stood up for them. Ev: Did you know that Fay Singleton, Bernadette Kiander, and Mary Murray are nurses at the Norwood Hospital? Ed: I heard that Helen Ennis gained the title of the Florence Nightingale of Battery B during the war. Ev: Yes, she is now a nurse at Los Angeles City Hospital. Her latest patient was John Warnke who seems to have taken Orsen Welles ' Place in Hollywood. Ed: Speaking of Hollywood, it seems to me I recently saw Dick Rowell and Vivian Marshall in their latest picture The Moon Is Up. Ev: Did you know that Vivian ' s gowns are designed by Frances Blazis and Heler. Jackstis and made by Helen Balboni? Ed: Mickey Notorangelo is running a chain of theatres. His secretary, Jennie Palmarini, reports that business has picked up since Stanley Stoyanoff, the new general manager, has taken over. Ev: Did you know that several of our classmates are working for him? Marion Lewis is a head usher, and Mary Cloherty, Shirley Stewart, and Dorothy Butters are usherettes at one of his theatres. Ed: I stopped in at a clothing store the other day and walked into the manager, Jimmy Hartshorn. He specializes in sport clothes and he has Dick Keenan and Bud.ly Farmer appear in the window daily for advertisement. Ev: Yes, and he also has several girls working for him. Ruth Leahy, Anna Devine, Louise Foley ,and Dot Lee are salesgirls. Ed: The last time I was in Norwood I took my car to Arthur Erickson ' s garage for a few adjustments. Well, Paul Barrett did the work, and three blocks down the street from the garage, the motor fell right out of the body. Ev: Several months ago, the Johnson and Jones Circus came to town. Nancv Breen and Claire Barry kept the crowd in suspenders while they went through their daredevil trapeze act, and Dick Crowley and LeRoy Carson kept them laughing with their clown act. The key attraction of the show was Louise Costello, the only woman in the world to be shot from a pea shooter two hundred feet in the air and land in a finger bowl alive! Helen Knaus, Margaret LeBlanc and Rose Ferrara are hot dog vendors. Ed: I heard that some of our classmates have become teachers at the school oa the hill. Ev: Oh yes! Rita Riley, Barbara Hartshorn, Alice O ' Malley and Monica Mulvehill are teaching at Norwood High. Our old friend, Bob Groh, has succeeded Mr. Hayden, and he is now dealing out the hours and mornings at eight in grand style. By the way, has anyone heard from Abe Billingham? Ed: Well it seems that he got into a fight over Arabia with a German plane, during the war and was shot down. From last reports he doesn ' t want to be heard from Nuff said. Ev: Have you heard the new radio program, John ' s Sixth Wife? John is playe 1 by Bill Lukawecki, and Joyce Engel is his latest wife. Ed: Well, I always knew that Bill was an actor at heart. Say, did you know that Joe Flood and Tom McGuff are now co-owners of the Norwood Dairy Lunch? It is completely remodeled and now has the atmosphere of a high class restaurant. Ev: Of course! I eat there regularly when I am at home. It ' s quite a place Stan Dallalis is the head waiter, and Marjorie Reynolds, Mary Septelka, Dorothy Nord- blom, and Barbara Sword are singing waitresses on roller skates. Ev: I think I ' ll write Joe and Tom and tell them about the Aasgard sisters ' all girl orchestra with Jane Falconer as clarinet soloist for a floor show. They played on a radio show the other night whose guest star was Gloria Kelly, Kate Smith ' s suc- cessor. Kenny McLean and Teresa Paquette are the regular weekly singers, and Dick Hynes is the Master of Ceremonies. Ev: Well, they certainly are successful, and did you know that Marie Keith has opened a swank Women ' s Shop with Nat Watson, Ruth Marshall, Dolly Burns, and Helen Hunter as models of the fashionable clothes they sell. Ed: By the way, I heard recently that Mutt Martowska is the dog catcher of Norwood now and was wounded when Ruth Fulton ' s dog bit him. Now he is in the hospital with Betty McKelvey as his private nurse and Ralph Palsic, his doctor. Ev: Did you hear about the scholarship that Mary Lynch won? Because of her excellent marks, she received eight dollars to continue her education at the East Boston School of Poetry. Now she has several good books to her credit. Ed: Speaking of books, have you read Arne Palo ' s latest book on dancing? He not only writes, but also runs a dance studio. Bernice Cohen, Bertha Niemi, and Marguerite McDonough are instructors. Ev: Instructors remind me of the other day in Macy ' s. I went strolling in and who should I see but Jane Flaherty demonstrating to a huge audience of women a new freckle cream on her assistant, Priscilla Clapp. Ed: Did you hear about Holly Steele and Russ Mattson, the well-known financier; of Wall Street. From all the reports of their fellow workers, the boys know how to pick their stock. Ev: When I was down that way, I dropped in to see them, but Eleanore Lewis their secretary, wouldn ' t let me in. They were in a big conference with Harry Butters, the banker. Ed: Doesn ' t Harry run the South Norwood National Bank? Ev: Of course, and several of our classmates are tellers. Kay Alty, Livia Bilotta. and Gertrude Concannon have worked there since the war when they took the place cf the men. Ed: Do you remember Jim Keady the golfer? Well, he ' s a professional now and doing very well. Ev: Well, if you think he is doing well, you should see the women butchers, who work for John Donlan ' s Market in Norwood. They are Ann Yelapi, Mary Bilotta, Mary Carrigan and Evelyn Curran. Ed: Did you know that Fran O ' Brien is running a driving school and has taught Natalie Clancy, Mary Connolly and Ann Leighton to drive and so far only two have cracked up. Ev: That ' s a new record, isn ' t it? Doesn ' t John Drost supply cars for the school? Ed: Yes, and James Walsh carts them away as soon as they are smashed up. Ev: Did you know that Tony Silvestri is in a convalescent home recovering from the shock he received when he won the daily double at Narragansett? Ed: Yes. He ' ll get over that all right, but I don ' t think he will want to leave. Rosemary Savage and Mary McDcnough are in charge, and Eleanor Mazzola, Jennie Safranski and Isabelle Truskauskis are nurses. Ev: By the way, I took a taxi to the station and it was driven by Mary Foley. She told me that Helen Sidlauskas, Mary Connors, and Regie Elias are also taxi drivers. They all work for Tappy Venterosa who owns a whole fleet of cabs. Ed: Did you know that Vinnie Foley now Mayor of Boston was accused of taking a cut in a road construction job and several public spirited citizens are out to get him for it? Ev: Oh! I ' m sure that Mayor Foley would never commit a dishonest act. Ed: Well, Helen Jurgelewicz and Mary Flaherty, members of the City Council are looking into his life. Ev: Well, I still think he isn ' t guilty. Say — did you know that Honorine Kend rick is running a Y. W. C. A. in Brooklyn. She has several able assistants, Janet Mahar, Mary Curran, and Alice Cormier. Ed: I imagine she does quite a business when the Dodgers are at home. I hear they have quite a good crowd of rooters. Ev: Oh! She does, because just the other day, I was down to see her and she was showing Julie Meyer and Helen Kuszynski to their rooms. They were stopping in New York before continuing on to Florida for their vacation . . . Well doesn ' t this just about finish our classmates. Ed: No, we almost forgot Jimmie Georgeu who now is the Manager of the Sports Center back in Norwood. Ev: Well it sure has been fun talking about our class, but everything must come to an end, and my train is about due, so Good-by! Good Luck!

The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Three Witnesses: Joyce Engel Ray Martin JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As WE look back on this past year, we, the Junior Class feel that much has been ac- complished on our part in creating a real school spirit which every school and class in the country is striving to attain. The success of our class in obtaining this spirit began at the opening of the school year, when we elected the following officers by popular vote: President John Frates Vice-President ...... Lillian Gustafson Secretary Florence Billingham _, Rosemary Corbett and 1 reasurers ....... T _ James Donovan A. A. Council John Valma This year due to all the war priorities, and other curtailments, our class was forced to give up the usual custom of holding a Junior party. However, the Seniors were very gracious in their invitation to hold a joint party whereby both Juniors and Seniors would share equal enjoyment. This plan was overwhelmingly successful due to the careful thought and diligent work of the various committees chosen to conduct the party and also the vitality of the pupils in supporting the class by attending. The Student Council owes much of its success to the Juniors who have participated in the various activities sponsored by the Council. This year a stamp drive was held and it was a Junior home room which won the honor of having filled their quota one hundred per cent. Many of the girls have participated in the various sports activities which the High School has to offer. Basketball was very well represented by our girls as well as our boys. Nearing the end of our second year in Norwood High School, everyone is looking forward to a prosperous Senior year when it will be said that this is the best class that has ever been graduated.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We, THE class of nineteen hundred and forty-five, with high and hopeful expectations, first approached the Norwood Senior High School as a class, on September ninth, nineteen hundred and forty-two. Class officers were elected, but as the ballots were not accounted for by November six, the date set for the annual Sophomore Party, our class officers remained unknown to all. In spite of this, a good time was had by everyone. The officers elected are as follows: President Vice-President Secretary Girls ' Treasurer Boys ' Treasurer A. A. Council Edward Butters James Long Audrey Woods Clare Payne Timothy Curtin Barbara Woodbury One of our highest aims as Sophomores in the class of forty-five is to follow as successfully as possible in the footsteps of our upper classmen.

Peabody School which has long been waited for by many of us, whose honor it is to include in our class its first graduates, has at last become a reality. We are indeed proud to boast of such an addition to our Norwood High School, and point with pleasure to its immediate success. Primarily, the Henry O. Peabody school is concerned with preparing girls for trades or vocations in our local industrial centers. With an eye to employment problems, however, it avoids training too great a number of girls in one specific field. Emergency training in connection with the present demands of industry has not yet commenced, but this will soon be considered as the regular courses are well established. Beauty Culture, Foods Trades, Trade Dressmaking, Retail Selling and Business Courses comprise the Peabody School curriculum. At the completion of a two year course in Beauty Culture, a student becomes eligible for the State examination; at the successful completion of this requirement, she is enabled to become an operator in any shop under a licensed hairdresser. Foods Trades, a course which extends over a period of from one to three years, is not only valuable as a trade, but also for the future housewife. This course in foods includes bakery work, as well as tea room management. For practical experience, the students themselves prepare daily, meals for one hundred people. Trade Dressmaking, a course extending from two to three years, has much to offer at the present time. A field which is becoming more and more important, it prepares girls for operation of power machines, as well as those who aspire to dress designing. All fundamentals of clothing construction are considered in regard to both artistic standpoint, and clever merchandising. Retail Selling, a one year course, had for its original purpose the means of assisting our local stores which have felt the acute shortage of personnel. Arrangements are made for students to obtain practical experience on a part-time co-operative plan in addition to their regular studies. Although the majority of this class is employed here in Norwood, there are some placed in Boston, including three girls at Jays, and three more at Crawford Hollidge. Business Courses are open to High School Seniors, and include clerical practice on modern business machines, plus intensive training in certain subjects. Electric typewriters, dictaphones, billing machines, comptometers, listing machines and others, make up a splendid class room for those girls interested in the operation of office machines. These types of machines are seldom found in such a school, and this com- plete equipment makes possible the same experience and training for our girls which special schools in Boston have to offer. Most to be admired, however, is the remarkable ease and grace with which both the faculty and students have established their school program. Although their attitude is exceptionally business-like and industrious, there is a pleasing air of inform- ality about their class rooms, which tends to increase enjoyment of their several accomplishments. All are most enthusiastic about their work, and are justly proud of their newly established institution. The attractiveness of their surroundings and the already forth-coming success of their colleagues are factors which speak well for their ability and originality. We, the graduating class of 1943-, feel that it is indeed a privilege to associate with our Senior year the establishment and first annual performance of the Henry O. Peabody school. To us has been accorded the distinction of becoming familiar with its students and ideals; to us has been granted the honor of joining to ourselves the first alumnae from this school.

Some psychic members of our class guessed correctly the winners; others were not quite as accurate in their forecasts. The results of the voting saw the following elected as cheer leaders for the football season: Joyce Engel,Captain Marie Long Marion Lewis Virginia Reardon Florence Billingham, Capt. for Class of ' AA Clifford Mackie Rucky Lorusso This particular group seemed to be electric when put together. Their cheering and school spirit seemed to effect the cheering section and it was louder and more inspired than ever before. The big game of the year with Dedham, although not a victorious one for either team, was marked by the great turnout of fans. Though the day was cold and miser- able, the cheer leaders had their regular pep and vitality which they put to work with great success. This year they were cheering an undefeated team. HOCKEY TEAM v -- 5 , . ' ' • ■ ■  -  Jk SL!Wiili ' aB B W CS5 5iBillg ySMP k. To THE welcome surprise and interest of the entire student body the news was received one day of the entrance of Norwood into the Bay State Hockey League. For the past several years a faction of the student body has been clamoring for just such a hockey team. Actively captained by Abie Billingham and competently coached by Mr. Learnard and Paul Bernier, the team obtained the applause of the entire town when it won its first game with Watertown by a score of three to two. Despite the further efforts of the team it must be admitted that they were green, but nevertheless true sports. The scores of the games which followed should by no means be accepted as an index of the expectations for such a live wire outfit in the future. The merchants of the town cooperated in every way possible to further the success of the team, and they deserve a bouquet for their splendid attitude. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL This yc. m ny changes in the game of basketball which for a long time now has been a fav t a nong the girls. First of all transportation was difficult and there was a gasoline hortagf but these girls were not bothered by the unusualness of the situation. They quickly adapted themselves to the plan for Inter-Mural Basketball and elected captains and chose teams. The results of the elections were as follows: Teams Co-Captains . Mary Murray Eleanor Melish _,, , . „, Marie Long Black and Blues won Mary Septelka Bernadette Kiander Dimouts T „ Nancy Breen _,, , Jennie Zuke Blackouts . ,, _ Mary Curran . , Kathleen Alty Commandos ., „ Mary Carngan _ . .. Claire Barry Bombardiers ., _ Mary Connors Each team was made up of Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores. BOYS ' BASKETBALL ALTHOUGH graced with good material, Coach Benny Murray ' s basketball squad did not have a very fruitful season, captained by William Lukawecki, one of the best athletes that ever donned a uniform for the school on the hill , the boys played hard and rugged basketball, but emerged victorious in only one contest against their arch enemy, Dedham. Outstanding playing was evidenced by all players on the team, but Lady Luck refused to shine on the perspiring brows of the players. o m BASEBALL SQUAD 1943 COACH MURRAY AND RAY MARTIN . OUTDOOR TRACK TEAM 1943 RIFLE TEAM READY — at the start of the school year, the rifle team was speedily and efficiently organized by Mr. Kelly. Qualifying trials were held as usual to determine the membership of this red hot club. AIM — to acquire proficiency in the use of firearms and to derive pleasure from the keen competitions sponsored by the National Rifle Association. FIRE — at will at the enemy. From the scores accumulated during the year, one or two of the boys will assure the democracy destroyers a hot time when they get out there with a gun. STUDENT COUNCIL This was the second year of our new venture, the Sudent Council, and a very successful year, too. The officers elected by the school were: President Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer Howard Pendergast Thomas Rogers Marie Long Florence Murray James Hartshorn The Student Council sponsored a war stamp drive and throughout the year, Thursday was known as War Stamp Day. The Miss Norwood High dance was a different dance which was carried out under the watchful eye of the Student Council The home room representatives and Miss Hubbard deserve a great deal of credit for their hard work in all Student Council undertakings. This year ' s work has shown what a progressive Student Council can accomplish. Let ' s hope that its good work will continue throughout the coming year. ORCHESTRA 1 t) rs 0kk w k jL 1 -!H, L U H lL V 5 1 Jfl jjH ' m ' ' - « V Under the excellent direction of Professor Dethier the orchestra had another banner year. These youthful musicians were constantly in demand. They played at assemblies here at the High School and at the Junior High School. One of the highlights of the year was their performance under the direction of none other than the famous Mr. Rubinoff. It was a rare privilege to be conducted in a number by so distinguished a personage. The colorful background for our annual Senior Play was furnished by the full orchestra. TRAFFIC SQUAD MANY difficulties were met aptly and promptly by this year ' s traffic squad, even though their work was increased by the leaving of Mr. Hayden, their guiding hand, for the armed forces. They handled the traffic very well and were as efficient as any of their predecessors. ADAM AND EVA On November 13, 1942, the Senior play was presented with much success. It was a delightful comedy in three acts. The plot centered about Mr. King and his wealthy family which was left to its own devices financially when the false rumor of Mr. King ' s ruin was spread abroad. Rivalry between Eva ' s many admirers gave opportunity for some very humorous lines. Eva,s part was exceptionally well taken by Vivian Marshall. All the performances of the supporting cast were excellent. Fine cooperation and assistance were rendered by the various committees on scenery and other arrangements.

A bit late in starting this year the photography club was soon actively engaged in the fascinating business of seeing what makes a camera The less experienced members were treated to a series of informal lectures by Mr. Fisher on the theory of development and print control. The club was presided over by Charles Duane, by far one of the most ardent shutterbugs on the hill . In the course of the year the school yielded a wealth of photographic subjects from the leer of some unsuspecting victim to the many por- traits of the tower which we shall ever see in our mind ' s eye. 5 Northeastern University College of Liberal Arts Offers a broad program of college subjects serving as a foundation for the understanding of modern culture, social relations, and techni- cal achievement.
