Z_ + •••••••••••••••• ••••• • •• We, the class of 1944, humbly dedicate our Year Book to the memory of the graduates of Norwood High who have given their lives in the fight for freedom. ♦ ♦-if- . This wartime graduation of the Class of 1944 marks the third such commencement since Pearl Harbor. We are stepping forth from the peace and security of school life to a turbulent world rocked by total war. Fighting and winning this war will be the chief concern of the majority of our class immediately after receiving our diplomas. Already over thirty boys who entered with us as sophomores are in the armed forces qualified in V-5, V-12, or as Army Aviation Cadets and have been inducted and await only graduation before leaving. Selective Service channels will induct the rest as they reach their eighteenth birthdays. Girls, too, have accepted the challenge of war service, and they are entering the Cadet Nursing Corps and working in Defense Plants in order to contribute to the war effort. All of these jobs, service in the armed forces, nursing, and war work, are vital to victory, but it is after victory that the real job of this graduating class will come. Development of a post-war world which is in keeping with the best American traditions will require our best efforts. It will be the responsibility of young people like ourselves to see that the mistakes of the last war are not repeated. We, who are soon to dictate the Government of this nation through the ballot box, must go forth determined to guarantee equal opportunities to all people regardless of race, color, or creed. The privileges contained in the Four Freedoms and the pledges outlined in the Atlantic Charter should be made realities if we are to avoid future bloodshed. We have seen in English and History Classes what the causes of this war were; through mounting casualty lists, we are seeing what the cost of war is; in blueprints for the future and in our dreams, we can see the possibilities for the post-war world. It is up to us to make sure that these dreams and blueprints become actualities. By the Editors TIOT STAFF This is the group which created the Tiot for 1944.

We see it many times, but do we ever stop and wonder what it really means? After all its deriva- tion might prove interesting, ;is well as informative. Tiot had its beginning in the time before the coming of the white man. This region was inhabited at that time by two tribes of Indians known as the Neponsets, a branch of the Algonquin tribe. The name, Tiot, is really a description of our location, for in the picturesque Indian dialect, it can be interpreted as meaning enclosure of waters. Then you ask why this name applies to Norwood. Well, let ' s glance at a map. To the South and East, Norwood is bounded by the Neponset River and Mine Brook. To enter from the North or West we must cross Bubbling and Purgatory Brooks. So you see, the literal Indians chose their name with rueful knowledge of their land. The redman will never completely vanish from Norwood as long as brooks, roads, or trains bear the name of Tiot. It is a part of their contribution to local lore. EENIDRE CLASS HISTORY ONii bright and sunny morning in September of the year 1941, our new class of Sopho- mores appeared in the corridors of old Norwood High. On our faces were cheerful expressions which changed decidely between eight o ' clock and twelve o ' clock to looks that asked Where can I hide? At the end of a few days we had learned, at great cost, not to put all of our faith in the members of the Senior Traffic Squad, for they never seemed to direct us in the right paths. After a few disastrous weeks had passed by, and we began to become accustomed to all of the new faces and personalities about us, the organization of our class was begun. Our first act was the election of our class officers, and there resulted a very able group to lead us through our first year in Norwood High School. Thomas Rogers was elected President; Lillian Gustafson, Vice-President; Florence Billingham, Secretary; Marie Gulla and Ann Coakley, Treasurers; and Mary Donovan, Representative of the A. A. Council. Our Sophomore Party, which took place on October 24th turned out to be a great success, with everyone meeting everyone else and enjoying the entertainment and dancing. From then on the Sophomores were supposed to be seen and not heard; so except for participation in some of the sports such as basketball, football, and tennis, and in the newly formed Student Council, we meekly went on our way with frequent detours at the request of the Seniors. Finally, in June, vacation began, and we gaily tripped away from the school on the hill, cheerful because of the interval of relaxation ahead of us, and also because we knew that upon our return we would no longer be little Sophomores. To soon, September followed August, and we were compelled to return to school. Now we could do the heavy looking on while the new class of under dogs were mis- treated by the new class of Seniors. Again, as Juniors, we started off by electing our class officers and this time, John Frates was elected President; Lillian Gustafson and Florence Billingham again became Vice-President and Secretary; Rosemarie Corbett and James Donovan went into the Treasurer ' s offices; and John Valma was elected A. A. Council Representative. Much work was done by the Juniors in the Student Council activities, and again the Juniors played a great part in the athletic activities and successes of the school. After much deliberation and frustration, a joint party between the Junior and Senior classes was planned to take the place of the separate parties. Those who went ( ? ) had a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten time. There seemed to be much confusion in our Junior year as to when we should hold our Promenade, but finally the date of May 28th was decided upon and the committees went to work. A fine piece of work was done and the Prom was a great success even if many of us had to walk because of the gas shortage. After the Class Day Reception was given by the Juniors to the Seniors, Graduation Day came and we saw the Class of 1943 leave Norwood High for the last time. Vacation again began, and we all left with high hopes of as pleasant a summer as is possible in war times. Finally, in September, 1943, we, the Seniors, triumphantly returned to the school on the hill. The day had come that we had waited seven hundred and thirty days for. Now we were the top, we hoped. But alas! no one seemed to respect us. We put on a good show anyway and managed to boss a few of the meeker Sophomores, and then elected our class officers for our last year. Daniel Perednia was elected President; for the third time Lillian Gustafson and Florence Billingham became Vice-President and Secretary; Joan Bernier and June Deeb became Treasurers, and Florence Murray was elected A. A. Council Representative. In February, however, Joan Bernier left Norwood, so Fred Rombola was elected to take her place. Now, with elections over, we were ready to go to work. Under the Presidency of Thomas Rogers, the Student Council ran its Victory Dance which went over the top. The Senior Party was held and none of us will soon forget the fine entertainment provided by members of our class. On February 11, the Senior Play June Mad was put on. Shall we ever forget what a wonderful bit of acting our classmates did in this play which will always be one of our most vivid memories of our high school years. Another thing we shall never forget is the part the Senior boys played in the athletic activities of the school. Our hockey, football, basketball, and baseball teams were the tops. Our class has the distinction of being the first class to hold a Rollerskating Party, which was very successful. Last but scarcely least, came our Senior Musical and Senior Prom, a perfect ending for our three wonderful years in Norwood High School. Now as we are preparing for graduation and as we look back on these years, I feel certain that most of us rather dread leaving the school forever; and we ' ll never forget, no matter where we are, the many friends of classmates and teachers, we have made.

Place: Route 1 (Providence) Situation: An automobile accident. Crash! Two cars collide but they don ' t appear to be too damaged. The drivers are just shaken up! Coke: Why don ' t you watch where you ' re going? Tappy: It wasnt ' my fault. I didn ' t want to hit that pedestrian so I hit you instead. You should have moved over anyway. Coke: Well, for goodness sakes, if it isn ' t Tappy Tamulonis! Tappy: Hi, Coke! What have you been doing with yourself lately? Coke: I ' m an instructor at the Y. W. C. A. in New York, and I have a few days off. I ' m on my way home. What are you doing now? Tappy: I ' m headed for Virginia. I ' m a buyer for the Chesterfield company. No longer do you hear my constant request Got a weed? I get them free now. Coke: Gee whiz, look whom you almost hit — Red O ' Donnell. His picture was added to the rogues ' gallery last week. Tappy: Whom did he kill? Coke: No one, just the ladies. Tappy: We ' ll be here for quite a while. Let ' s go over to that place called Joes, run by Joe Greaney, and have a snack. Coke: O. K. but I understand that Jack Meyer is the cook there. Do you still want to eat? Tappy: My appetite just left me. Seriously though, I understand that the food is pretty good. The meats, fruits, and vegetables are supplied by the Morini Market chain stores. Rico has a huge business which is managed by Robert Costello. Coke: Oh! by the way, Tappy, Lilly Kozak and Gus Wetta were asking about you the other day. They ' ve gone a long way in the dancing world — exhibitionists at the Stork Club. Tappy: More power to them. In yesterday ' s paper I read that Virginia Burrows has made her debut in New York City. She ' s a sharp debutante. Coke: I wonder if Ginny has bumped into Leo Grande, New York ' s No. 1 playboy. Tappy: I don ' t know, but judging from the papers Leo has bumped into a lot of debs lately. Coke: Guess what, Tappy. Yowsa Stanton is running an escort bureau in Boston. He ' s doing very well too, both for his customers and himself. Tappy: Is that waiter Bill Chapman, or am I seeing things? Coke: No, you ' re not. He looks well and happy, doesn ' t he? Last week I was thinking about Patty Shaw. Do you know where she is? Tappy: She is teaching the second grade at the Winslow School. Boy! don ' t I wish I were back in the second grade? Coke: I heard the radio announcer, Arthur Stoyanoff, say that Eddie Mulkern has just signed a Hollywood contract. Eddie is the successful successor to Alan Ladd. Tappy: Nicky Grugnale has a taxi stand in Norwood now. Upon approaching his place, one sees first a very prominent sign, This taxi for women only. Coke: Talking about automobiles reminds me of another classmate. Phil Holman set a new speed record of 120 miles per hour on a country road. The other day she cracked up but came out of the wreck with only a few scratches. Bob Busch came with his wrecker and took away the debris. Tappy: I think Tommy Cassidy used to work for Bob as a mechanic. Tom caught his fingers in a motor. Now he just cleans windshields. Some promotion, huh? Coke: Remember Jimmie Grusheski? Tappy: How could I forget him? Coke: Well, he is radio ' s most popular comedian now. His sponsor is General Electric- The Light of the World. Tappy: That ' s Jimmie all right. His rival is Edith Wenstrom. Edie ' s jokes are different from Jimmie ' s, but both comedians have a very good following. Coke: Have you seen Charlie Mitchell ' s cartoons in the Boston Herald lately? They are very funny, Tappy, and truly they bring out Charlie ' s wit. Tappy: No, Coke, I haven ' t seen them but I did see an article in the Herald, written by Dave Locarno, telling of the mysterious explosion on the fifteenth floor of the Hotel New Yorker. Benny Riley was experimenting on something or other. He had to pay for the remodeling of the room, which was done by Louise Charron. Coke: I think Helen Sustavige is an interior decorator. She is on the West Coast. I know she remodeled Fanny Weisblatt ' s house in Los Angeles. Fanny is married now and has three children. Tappy: Remember when Junic Deeb and Nicky Kelley won a jitterbug contest back in 1943? For the last five years they have been winning such contests, and now they are the top jitterbuggers in the United States. Coke: Yes, they are very good. In fact, we have many famous people in our class. Budsy Billingham was acclaimed the star of the Ice Follies of 1948. I saw that show last February and believe me, Tappy, I was proud of her. Tappy: Muzzy Murray has been with Frankie Carle for the past two years. Something happened to Frank ' s fingers, whereupon Muzzy took over. She ' s an expert now. Coke: Jeanette Mike is following a musical career, too. She ' s a singer at the Waldorf- Astoria where Dorothy Curran works in the checking room. Tappy: My old friend Butch Tranavitch is the 1948 version of Frank Swoonatra. The girls are all crazy about Butch. Coke: Another sharp lad who has a way with the ladies is Fred Rombola. He ' s assistant coach at Norwood High. It seems that the boys ' sports have a large following — and I don ' t mean because of the team either. Tappy: There are a few kids who have made a name for themselves in the roller- skating world. They are Louise Santoro, who is an exhibitionist and who runs her own roller-skating school, and Jo Rudvilovitch and Caroline Ufheil, who do couple specialties at the rink in New York owned and operated by Bill Maini. Coke: Jo and Teda got a writeup in the New York Times last week. The Times is now edited by brilliant and talented Lillian Gustafson. Tappy: Gussie always did have a knack for that sort of thing. Do you want a laugh, Coke? Well, Robert Hall is now the most famous hairdresser in all Europe. George Holmes is his chief manicurist and Ed Jankowski is his chief masseur. What a combination! Coke: Jimmy Donovan is manager of the Waltham watch factory. Ever since he ' s had that job, he has been on time for all his appointments. Tappy: Another classmate in the factory line is Jimmie Concannon. He manuafctures loud speakers. Now people know when he ' s around. Coke: Last Thursday at 8:30 P. M. when I was about to turn off the radio I heard a voice sing out a familiar phrase Coming Mother. The voice sounded so familiar that I continued to listen to find out who was taking the part of Henry Aldrich. And guess who it was, Tappy — Donald Webber. Tappy: We (our Class) have another famous radio personality in the place of Baby Snooks. She is none other than Theresa Monbouquette. Theresa is just the same — a riot. Coke: On the serious side of life — Howard Zettler is doing missionary work in China and doing a very praiseworthy job too. Another religious member of our class is Anthony Kneizys, who is a priest at the Lithuanian Church. Formerly, his uncle was the pastor there. A coincidence. Tappy: I should say so. However, you mustn ' t forget our one and only feminine religious — Mary Ann Keady. She ' s teaching in a small town in Kentucky. Coke: Mary ' s cousin, Mary Ellen Keady, is a famous opera star now. I don ' t appreciate operas to the fullest extent, but I know Mary is good. The music critic spoke in high praise of Mary ' s voice. The critic, by the way, is Jane Cody, a very capable girl. Tappy: While we are on the subject of singers, do you know that Jean Gordon has a fifteen minute program every Thursday night on WNHS at 9:00 p. m.? Her sponsor is Kallstrom ' s Baby Powder. Russ has a thriving business. Coke: I haven ' t heard Jean yet, but I will. I saw Barbara Walsh ' s picture on an Ipana tooth paste ad as I was driving along the highway a couple of miles back. I ' ve always thought she had beautiful teeth. Tappy: I agree with you Coke. Another bit of amusing information that I picked up was that Tom Rogers was acclaimed the champion speed typist of the world. Coke: What a comeback! Have you heard what Pauline Bresette is doing now? Tappy: No. You tell me. Coke: She ' s raising horses for Bing Crosby. Ellen Foley, who is the first female to ride in races, is working as a jockey. Jack F ' rates is the able manager of the thoroughbreds at Crosby ' s Farm. Tappy: Al Whitemore is engaged in the racing world too — automobile racing. Remember how he used to drive to school? Well, he drives the same on the track, only faster. Coke: He ' s won a couple of trophies, I think. His master mechanic is Bob Nordbloom, a mighty good one too. Tappy: Eddie McDonough was a floor walker in Filene ' s. He was fired! When people asked him where they could find certain articles, he sent them to Jordan Marsh ' s. I don ' t know where Mac is now. Coke: He probably has a position somewhere. Lillian Vasilauskas is the sole owner of the Swift house in the Market District in Boston. I guess her weekly trips in town four years ago proved to be very profitable. Vas always was a smart business woman anyway. Tappy: Two more smart kids in our class are Frances Calderone and Helen Boulis. They are dressmakers and designers for the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Studios in Hollywood. Coke: They have original ideas when it comes to clothes. Priscilla Roundy is a stylist for Vogue. Her striking creations make Hattie Carnegie gasp. Pat Foley tries out all Priscilla ' s ideas before they actually go into print. Pat wears clothes very well. Tappy: You haven ' t mentioned Rosemarie Corbett yet. Do you know what she is doing now? Coke: Yes, Tappy. Rosemarie is attending the University of Southern California. Last football season she led the band and did a superb job too. Boy, can she twirl that baton. Tappy: Guess whom I saw in a sharp Navy uniform a couple of weeks ago? — Stanley Steinbauer who is a Lieutenant (j. g.) and who has been around the world three times. He looks competent. Coke: I can just imagine. Stan ' s school chum, Al Bonfatti, is now a prominent hockey star. He is a second Flash Hollett ( from the playing ability angle as well as the feminine angle ) . Tappy: Henry Adams has opened a successful studio on Fifth Avenue in New York City. When he has no particular work to do, Eleanor Constantine poses for him. I think I ' ll take up photography, Coke. Coke: Ellie surely is personable, Tappy. Another cute member of our class is Marty Thornton. Marty has just been crowned National Pin Up Boy. Tappy: Going from the smaller things in life to the taller things — I hear that Elsie Fredlund is an elevator operator in the Empire State Building. She has her ups and downs. Coke: I read somewhere that Dick Bell went hunting in the woods of Maine and shot a hole in his leg. He aimed supposedly at an animal but the bullet hit a nearby tree, and ricocheted. Tough luck, huh? Tappy: I should say so. Robert Hansen gave himself an awful gash in the hand while he was sawing a board. He ' s a very good carpenter. He works for Billie Cisternelli ' s furniture store as a repair man. Coke: Jimmy Walker was awarded a medal a month ago for saving the life of one of his shipmates. Jim is with the Coastguard now. Another military man in our class is Dave Haegar. He is at Annapolis, studying hard. Tappy: Barbara Spearwater just set a new high jumping record at Madison Square Garden. Ellen Hayes is trying her best to beat Barbara, but she ' s having a hard time. Coke: Dick Conradson is with a trapeze act in the Barnum and Bailey Circus. His smallness and his agility make him a sensation. He ' s called the Human Rocket. There used to be two Human Rockets, but the second one, Ray Calleaux, confused the act once too often so he was put to work as a feeder of the animals. T tippy: Gloria Johnson has just discovered a new element. She called up Eddie Eppich, who has a lab of his own, and asked him to work with her on it. He agreed and that ' s all I know. Coke: They resemble Mr. and Mrs. Curie, don ' t they? John Valma has just been elected Congressman representing the state of Wyoming. Stony always was a politician at heart. Tappy: Paulie Antonaitis has been mayor of Norwood for the past year. He ' s the youngest person to hold office since 1900. Coke: George Baler is the top surgeon at the Norwood Hospital. He ' s famous all over the country for having saved Ruth Grady ' s life. Ruth was hit by Patty Hines, the most reckless driver in the state of Massachusetts. T tippy: You should talk about reckless driving. Coke: What do you mean? Tappy: Never mind. Let ' s forget it. Ruth Anderson is modeling clothes for C. Crawford Hollidge now. Ruthie got the job through Mary Donovan ' s Employment Agency. Coke: How do you know? Tappy: She told me. She also told me that Mary McGuff is an architect. Mary designed the new F. B. I. building in Washington. Coke: I saw that building and I think it ' s beautiful. Tappy: Jimmie O ' Brien is Boston ' s best barber. He gives the best haircut in town at the lowest price — 35 cents, and for 10 cents extra he ' ll tell you a funny story. Coke: Joe Seery has just won a 7-day silence contest. He just walked away with that prize. Tappy: All men are not what they seem. Coke: Bertha Bechunas has established a correspondence bureau. If you don ' t know what to say, just let Bertha do it. Tappy : understand Mary Pennacchio has taken up flying. I think she ' s a pilot for the American Airlines. Doris Bowles is a stewardess for the same company. Coke: Have you seen Dot Coleman and Dot Fillmore in their tap dancing number on the stage of the R. K. O. this week? Tappy: No, I haven ' t, but I ' ve heard they are good. A few weeks ago I went to hear Ralph Deeb give a violin concert at the Symphony Hall. The place was packed and everyone, myself included, enjoyed him immensely. Coke: Kay Gullich has a musical career, too. She plays the drums for Phil Spitalny Madalyn Butler plays the piano for him. Tappy: While on the subject of music, let me tell you about an unusual voice which sings (?) to the milkman every morning at 5:00 A. M. I ' ll tell you the name — Antanette Notorangelo, alias the yodeler. Her partner, Katherine Wilkes, sings cowboy songs. Coke: Walter Norling is a milkman. I wonder if he listens to them. Tappy: Marion Fleck is now playing in the Philadelphia Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall where the best tunes of all come from. Coke: Good for her. Dorothy White was a member of the salesgirl staff of White ' s. She has been promoted to personnel manager. Tappy: Betty Prager is a beautician in Filene ' s. She is the one who is in demand the most, which is good proof of her worth. Coke: She ' s good all right. I ' ve seen some of her work. Have you heard anything from Danny Perednia lately, Tappy? Tappy: He ' s the manager of the Norwood Theater now. He patronized the place so much that they offered him the job. Evelyn Conley and Nora Folan still have their jobs as ushers. Coke: Doris Babcock is the head of the Red Cross in Norwood. She is doing as good a job as she did with the Junior Red Cross back in 1944. Tappy: Shirley Saeger is teaching the eighth grade at the Junior High. I wonder if she likes teaching now as she did in ' 44. Coke: I think she does. Pat Coughlin draws the sketches that appear on the walls and in the windows at Gilchrist ' s. They are cute. Demetra Georges and Jean Giampetro are her models. Tappy: I heard that Marian Flaherty had a huge wedding. The flowers were provided by Robert Erickson. The reception was handled by the Praino-Coughlin caterers. Bob and Paul were glad to see Marian again. Coke: Leona Burns is the head librarian at the Morrill Memorial Library in the city of Norwood. The handy man around the library is Joe Carroll. He spent so many afternoons there that he automatically became an employee. Tappy: Margaret Driscoll and Phyllis Eklund spend most of their time fishing. The rest of their time they spend setting up pins at the Sport Center. They make a living that way. Coke: Marie Gulla has taken over her father ' s bakery. Her cooking is superb, Tappy, and she ' s still single. ]e ne comprends pas the men. Tappy: The Norwood Telephone Exchange has been enriched this year with two of our classmates added to their staff. They are Pauline Wilford and Veronica Zabrowski. Coke: Clara Anderson is employed by the Drene Sh ampoo Company. She really had beautiful hair, Tappy, or haven ' t you noticed? Tappy: Aha! but have I. I saw a picture of Lulu Erickson in the paper yesterday. She ' s in Hawaii practicing on her hula hula. Then she ' s coming to the Shangri-la to dance in a floor show. Coke: Dominic Giampetro and Herbie Gliechauf are running a music store. They ' re making so much money that they both have cars and many other luxuries. Tappy: Sarah Boulis and Gloria Franklin are drivers for the Checker Taxi Company in New York. What ' s this world coming to? Coke: Barbara Works is a professional basketball player now. She plays for the Massachusetts Wild Cats, twice national champions, and in the last game Barbara scored 38 points. Tappy: She must have a good eye. Mary Paulousky is in Billy Rose ' s aquacade. She ' s featured as an underwater swimmer. Coke: I got a letter from Jean Robertson last week and she told me that she is an interpreter for the U. S. Government. While she was in Germany, she met Ed Kotek, a traveling salesman for the Acme Rubber Company. Tappy: Emil Ostrom is the caretaker of the Boston Public Gardens. The flowers that he grows are very unusual. Vito Puopolo runs the swan boats there. Coke: Verna Carpenter is in the Cadet Nurse Corps in Ohio. She ' s studying hard and doing very well. Lennie Sansone has been appointed lifeguard at Old Silver Beach at Falmouth. He ' s a mighty handsome lifeguard. Tappy: Marie Halstead is selling hair brushes on the side Her hair is a good example of daily brushing. Her regular job is in the office of The Owens Life Insurance Corporation. Dick operates his business with lots of skill. He insures himself elsewhere. Coke: Clever guy, isn ' t he? In a book store one day, I saw a biography of Dorothy Gray, written by Frannie Ahearn. I bought it but I haven ' t read it completely yet. I ' ve glanced through it and it sounds good. I also saw a modern dictionary written by Lazette Carlson. It contains a hundred new words and expressions. Tappy: I ' ve heard about that dictionary. She is a brave girl to contradict Webster as she does. Coke: You know, Tappy, Norwood has grown so much that Penny Gregory and Jeanne Hart have set up an information bureau. These girls are kept so busy that they scarcely have time to rest. They alternate on the day and night shifts. Tappy: I didn ' t know the old town when I went back there last Christmas. I saw loads of new faces. Elaine Monteith runs the Guild Square Pharmacy now. Audrey Quinlan is the registered pharmacist. Coke: Walter Keeler took over the management of Hoods, and Mary Dillon owns the National Jewelers. So you see, our class has practically taken over the town. Tappy: You forgot to mention Anna Keris ' very good position in the Norwood Trust Company. Coke: I wasn ' t sure so I didn ' t say. Mary Thomson is a talent scout for a playhouse in New York now. Mary started Erdine Parkinson on her stage career. Erdine has starred in four or five successful plays. Tappy: I ' ve read about her successes. Dorothy Danforth has complete charge of the scenery on the stage of the Radio City Musical Hall. That ' s the reason you hear so many comments on the scenery. She does a wonderful job. Coke: A most successful business man in our class is John Lydon. John has the largest fur stores in the country in Boston. He has really come up in the world, hasn ' t he? Tappy: Helen Radzwill is a make-up woman for the stars in Hollywood. She ' s in constant demand. We mustn ' t forget Dick Donlan who is chief sound effects man in Hollywood. He ' s tops at his profession. Coke: Frannie Porter really surprised me. She is an electrician with General Electric. She is the only woman electrician of whom I ' ve heard. On her free evenings she does a bit of fancy roller-skating. Tappy: We also have a few women detectives. I would hate to be caught by Jule Smith or her partner, Agnes Kozlowski. I don ' t know how many criminals they have caught, but they surely can track the crooks. Coke: Alice Martin has just published a cook book. Alice ' s specialties are cakes. Virginia Riley tried out Alice ' s new recipes before they were put into print. Tappy: Therese Disnard has a florist ' s shop on Washington Street. She supplies all the flowers for the big occasions of the town. Coke: I saw a day nursery ad: Mother, shop all day. Let your children play. Excellent care is taken of all children by two experienced nursemaids, Dotty Paolucci and Eva Linderoth. Tappy: The annual national spelling match was held four days ago. A member of our class came through again — Betty Scannell. Last year ' s winner, Ethel Rowen, presented the cup to Betty. Coke: Priscilla Klinzman ' s elocution class is having a recital next week. Her star pupil is Mary McCarty. Wanda Jurgelewicz is the town ' s woman dog-catcher. We thought she was so kind-hearted and sympathetic. Tappy: Marilyn DeQuattro just edited a new book entitled Oral Topics for High School Seniors. Coke: Jean Mondor and Marian Seastrand have organized a society for dark-haired women. It was formed to start a drive against blondes, the preference of men. Tappy: I like men ' s preference. Theresa MacAuliffe and Shirley McCuen have just returned from an expedition in the African Jungle. I wonder what they were looking for. Coke: I can ' t even guess, Tappy. Eleanor Cercone is running a home for Chinese orphans. Lena Lanzoni tells the children funny stories and then sings them to sleep. Tappy: That must be a trying job. Coke: It is, but they both love it. Helen Maroney and Rosemary Stapleton are also running a school, an exclusive girls ' school. Tappy: I read about a fire at that school. Jean Pendergast gave first aid to the injured just like a professional. Evelyn Pascoe was driving the ambulance that arrived, and Pauline Shugay was the attending nurse. Coke: Those girls really took excellent care of the injured. Tappy: It looks as if our cars are ready to go again. Coke: It ' s delightful to see you and to talk over our class with you, Tappy. I ' m glad that we bumped into each other. Tappy: I ' ve got to rush now, Coke, so I ' ll say, So long until we meet again.

Peabody School rolls around, another class of poised and well-trained girls bid adieu to many well-remembered hours of enjoyment and toil. For in a school such as this, with work done by the students themselves in light airy rooms, and with up-to-date equipment, one really begins to feel at home. The purpose of its fairly recent program is the preparation of girls for good positions after graduation, without further education being necessary. To do this many excellent courses are offered: i.e. preparation of food and cafeteria work, cosmetology, training in the business field, mod e dressmaking, and merchandising. Many of the instructors in these courses have now found part-time employment for many students who are now employed in Boston, Norwood, and in several surrounding communities. Besides this, quite a few girls have graduated from the cosmetology course, passed the state examinations, and so now are adequetly prepared to enter their profession as an operator under the supervision of a licensed hairdresser. Much of the work done in this school, however, is done for the benefit of the school itself and the student body as well as some outsiders. Here are a few examples: Dressmaking, in which the class fills many outside orders for suits, dresses, or what have you, and is even allowed to do some work for itself; Foods, in which lunches are prepared daily for the students, and sometimes special luncheons and orders are made up for outside affairs; Beauty Culture, here the girls set their own hair and are even allowed to bring in friends who wish to benefit from their teaching; and last but not least Art Major, in which the classes have made several excellent paintings which now add to the beauty of the school. These classes also have given the girls a chance to get first hand experience in interior decoration. Of course, as in all schools, there are always functions that will be long remem- bered. Among these are the Hallowe ' en and Christmas Parties, given by the Faculty for the students, at which all had a chance really to relax and enjoy life, and the Senior Spring Formal in May, held in the cafeteria, at which Ernest Gotham played. Besides these three, there was Chamber of Commerce Night when the Chamber of Commerce came to visit the school Parents ' Night, when the parents came to see their girls at work, and Open House Night when the pu blic in general was invited to come and see the training given to our future secretaries, hairdressers, cooks and artists. This then is the Henry O. Peabody School in June, 1944, the second year of its existence. We know that the success attained thus far will increase in future years and soon opportunities such as those given in this school will be even more widespread than they are now.

Demands of military service had called several promising players, and gas rationing promised to curtail travel. However these problems were L surmounted, and a fine team took the field against Needham. Captained by Yowsa Stanton and Dan Perednia, the team played heads up football; but the best they could get was a 6-6 deadlock. After suffering a 21-7 defeat at the hands of Framingham, the locals bounded back to beat Belmont 6-0. After a two week layoff the Blue and White journeyed to Milford and eked out a 7-0 win on a last period touchdown. Norwood then outscored North Quincy 19-14 to prove that they were now rolling along on high. The Armistice Day game with Natick will long be remembered as one of the hardest fought gridiron classics in the past twenty years. It was a seesaw battle all the way, but two Nor- wood passes and a 25 yard end around play topped two Natick touchdowns to give Norwood a well earned victory by an 18-14 margin. The annual Turkey Day tussel with Dedham attracted a large gathering at the Senior High School field in Norwood. In the first few minutes of play Norwood displayed considerable strength and threatened to steamroller the Shiretowners; but a Dedham interception and a period long march to the goal-line gave Dedham a 7-0 edge. In the next period Dedham scored again, but this ended the scoring. The final score was 14-0. When the final reckoning came, the record showed 4 wins as against 2 losses and a tie. These statistics cannot show the agressive attitude of our players or tell of the able coaching of Benny Murray and Johnny Dixon. Teams have made better records in the past but this year ' s team will still remain as top ' s in our minds.

Ably advised by Miss Elliott its accomplishments were many and varied. In September the following officers were elected. President Tom Rogers Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer James Long Marie Gulla Kenneth Ahearn Ann Coakley In addition, a lively group of homeroom representatives and representatives-at- large were elected. Throughout the year, bi-monthly meetings were held during the school day on a rotating schedule. To honor the football team, the Student Council, with the co-operation of the cheerleaders, sponsored a very successful football dance. The receipts from this dance were used to purchase for all football lettermen sweaters which were presented at an assembly later in the year. The Student Council also assumed responsibilities for the Traffic Squad and reorganized it with Tom Rogers as captain and June Deeb and Albert Bonfatti as lieutenants. Under the new plan, traffic within the building showed a marked improvement. The Student Council continued its practice of selling War Stamps each Thursday, thus enabling pupils to do their part toward victory. Student and teacher purchases were sufficient to pay for a quarter-ton truck or jeep and a Piper Cub plane or a flying jeep. The jeep was driven out to Norwood to show the pupils what their dimes and dollars were doing. In April, the traditional Miss Norwood High dance was sponsored by the Student Council. These are but a few of the most important services of this rapidly growing group. The Student Council carries on, expanding rapidly to fill a definite need at Norwood High, and giving an actual example of democracy at work.

They went away holding aching sides and shaking their heads in amazement that a group of amateurs could give such a professional production. All of the cast turned in stellar performances and seemed to be remarkably well fitted to the respective roles. The orchestra, under the direction of Professor Jean Dethier, entertained the audience during the intermission with a stirring collection of pieces. Much of the credit for the performance should go to Mrs. i M-Y ■ ■- n ttsssL — 7 _ _ i m aM} Blackmer for her able coaching of the players. The willing cooperation of five committees should not be forgotten. The play concerns itself with the affairs of two young couples, Chuck and Penny, and Mervyn and Julie — that is, affairs of the heart. A glider crash, the lovemaking of a big city wolf, Roger, and the antics of Millie Lou all offer interesting complications. The ending finds every- body happy with the exception of Roger who has lost both girls. Orchids to all concerned! USHERS Elizabeth Scannell, Chair. Bertha Bechunas Eleanor Cercone Mary E.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR FUTURE SECURE • Whatever your plans for the future may be, you will always have a feeling of security if you have had thorough secretarial training. A good secretary is always in demand. Last year, place- ment calls for Fisher girls were greatly in excess of available graduates. • For 41 years New England has recognized the Fisher School as a center for superior secretarial training. At either the fine old residence over- looking the Charles River, which is the Boston School, or in the homelike atmosphere of the Winter Hill School, Fisher courses combine cul- tural and technical subjects. In an academic atmosphere, young women quickly learn secretarial skills. Catalog on request. THE FISHER SCHOOL 118 Beacon Street BOSTON 16, MASS. 374 Broadway WINTER HILL 45, MASS.
