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. Pota Lewis Joseph Guillemette Co -Editors in Chief
