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. Patricia Shaw, Class Historian.
