E5 ' Deliver Us As God looks down upon our town today, He sees a loneliness about the square, For many a boy he once saw here, has left, To join a host of others over there. He sees today, as yesterday He saw, The changes that are wrought in towns, by war. For Norwood ' s spirit stressing freedom ' s worth, Encompasses the corners of the earth. In oceans, jungles, foxholes, everywhere God looks — He finds a bit of Norwood there — Portrayed by boys who not so long ago, Walked down these very corridors ive know. Joined in a true companionship — The mirth of high school days, Initialed books — traditions made. In countless different ways. They left their mark within these walls to stay. Now we would in our Tiot, tribute pay, To you who sail the seas and search the sky — You graduates of Norwood High who march and fight. A simple tribute — as to God ive send Our prayers — that soon the present war will end — Letting a blessed, lasting peace descend Upon a tvorld that ' s missed the little things Too long. We pray That youth, with all the life and joy it brings To towns — in triumph may return. We pray That Norwood will come back again to stay. S. B.

The class of ' 45 is indebted to the faculty, which for three years has so nobly labored to further knowledge among us. Our trails with the homework they had to offer us, were only exceeded by the constant disappointments they received the next day upon finding that it was still undone. With gratitude in our hearts we thank them for the many nights that they denied themselves of sleep, thinking up questions to ask the next day. Even more to be ap- preciated are the hours they spent correcting the ingenious quizzes they devised. Now that the terrors which their efforts incurred are over for us, we can very well understand their viewpoint. We like to feel that their work has not been fruitless, and hope that they shate this opinion. Our three years relationship with them has enlightened us, not only scholastically, but socially as well. Their friendly counsel and cooperation with us in our activities will always leave pleasant memories. A WUe We Were ovYjoy soYes The rainy day that the class of ' 45 sloshed its way up the steps of the school on the hill , a little wet behind the ears in more ways than one . . . the sheer novelty of being able to exchange pleasantries, hum and hi everyone while passing through the cor- ridors . . .

Serene and sage, our hopes ablaze We are ready ro meet life ' s blasts. This soapbox speech, though Wasn ' t a peach, Has done what ' twas meant to do, So let ' s not be quacks, let ' s cling to the facts And tell only what is true. The building shook, as it took a look At the class of forry-nve. The tower ' s clock stopped at the shock, And never has revived. Lab test tubes quivered and often slivered, When the gals grew scientific, Then the introduction of a pre-induction Math club proved terrific. From rooms we clipped or rolled or whipped ' Tis a wonder our nerves didn ' t jar, Our latest expression when things were depressin ' Was to bellow Hurrah for the Czar . Behind the door of one rhirty four, Met a motley crew each night, Who were quite contented while acting demented, Which seemed to be their delight. A baking course, then, held strictly for men, Made jests from the ladies rain Upon the heads of the Jacks and Neds, Who put them all to shame. Now with quickening joy, each girl and boy, Thinks of his senior year, As a year well spent (at least half well meant) Whose memories he ' ll hold dear.

HONKT, REM ABLE, 2nd TRUSTWORTHY ADDERS ' HONEST ED BUTTtRS F o rQ, PfeES lDE(Ml T- The Campaign We had no sooner returned to our books in September when the corridors began to buzz with speculation. Who ' s going to be class president? Will Eddie run again? Will you vote for me? Each question was asked a hundred times. Nomina- tion papers were circulated, withdrawals were made, and then we finally saw the list of nominees. Posters, gossip, and rumors all took their turn. Football vs. Pepsi — DeRoma vs. the world — It ' s time for a change! Re-elect Ed , we listened quietly. Darby worked like a demon for Eddie, Chi-Chi buttonholed everyone who passed his traffic post. Mr. Thompson agreed to hold a political rally at which each candidate could talk frankly and open- ly with the class about the issues of this campaign . They talked, we listened and made our decision. CHAriOtr Ri V, EP -TJ, y« BUTTERS ELECTED TO THIRD TERM; FOOTBALL TICKET SWEEPS TO VICTORY Curtin, Cavanaugh, Jordano, Bortolotti, and Petraitis Win Complete returns early this morn- ing indicated that Eddie Butters and his Football ticket have been elected in an overwhelming wave of votes which saw all but one of the Pepsi-Boys go down to defeat. After completing what was prob- ably the hardest fought political battle that the hill has ever wit- nessed the Seniors went into their voting booths and returned President Butters to a third term, electing with him T. J. Curtin as Vice President, Archabus Cavanaugh as Boys ' s Treasurer, and Frank Jordano as A. A. Counsel. The only non-foot- ballers to survive were Nell Petrai- tis, an independent, who was elected Girl ' s Treasurer, and Neenie Bor- tolotti, the Pepsi-Boys ' s candidate for Secretary. Butters victory was clear cut and decisive. Out of 161 votes cast he received 84, or a clear majority. Chi-chi DeRoma, who conducted the most vigorous campaign, ran second while Bucket ' s Chandler finished third. The Chandler vote was the most surprising feature of the election as almost all observers had given him a 50-50 chance to beat Butters. The Butters organization was a key factor, delivering votes, on the line, to every footballer on the ballot. Darby Greaney and his cohorts did a tremendous amount of work in swaying the on-the-fence voters. The election was decided in the quiet confines of the Peabody School. The girls voted football pure and simple from Butters to Jordano right down the line. A sampling of the vote will bear this out. In one typi- cal block of twenty votes the results gave: Butters 15, Chandler 1, De- Roma 4; Curtin 16, Curran 4; Cava- naugh 18, Parker 2; Jordano 16, Har- rington 4; Petraitis 11, Payne 7; Ahearn 3, Bortolotti 10, Valma 7. Thus the footballers piled up over a thirty vote lead in the Peabody School. In the lesser contests the same pattern was followed. In the Cur- tin-Curran battle, scheduled to be the hottest on the ballot, Curtin won handily. Cavanaugh and Jordano up- set all predictions by trouncing their opponents. The fact that the gentle- men did not choose to speak at the pre-election rally apparently did not harm their chances in the least. Archabus received more votes than did any other candidate on the ballot. Nell Petraitis neatly trimmed Clare Payne for the Girl Treasurer ' s slot. The savage cutting of Miss Payne by the ladies of the class plus the fact that a great part of the football vote fell into Miss Petraitis ' lap and that contest needs no further explanation. Neenie Bortolotti proves the ex- ception to all that has come before. He carried the Peabody School where his colleagues had fallen down badly and received consistent and substantial support in all sections of the High School. The presence of Valma and Murphy on the ballot did a great deal to insure a Borto- lotti victory. Imagine for a moment to whom the Valma and Murphy votes would have gone had they not been candidates and you will under- stand Neenie ' s excellent position. The class has spoken. It ' s Butters, Curtin, Bortolotti, Petraitis, Cava- naugh, and Jordano who will lead us through ' 45. We are confident that they will make us proud. President Butters received the fol- lowing telegram from Mr. DeRoma early this morning — Mrs. DeRoma (Joan) joins me in extending to you best wishes for a most successful term. Our Leaders i Left to right — Cavanaugh, Treasurer: Curtin, Vice President; Butters, President; Jordano, AA Counsel; Petraitis, Treasurer; Bortolotti, Secretary. Class Advisors Miss Ryan, Chairman; Mr. Klugh, Miss Kenefick Mrs. Cook, Mr. Learnard The Constabulary Left to right, front row — Valma, Petraitis, Payne, Shimsky, Chandler, Woodworth, Pothier, Woodberry, Greenwood, Bonica. Second row — Mondor, Parker, Harrington, Butters, LeBlanc, Cushman, Folan, Jordano, Greaney, Bortolotti, Tomm. Rear Row — Legge, Curran, Dolaher, Warde, Anderson, Ahearn, Chubet, Chamberlain. One of the last things we did as Juniots was to elect our Tfaffic Squad for ' 44 - ' 45. The thirty odd members organized with Rog Woodwotth, Captain; Buckets Chandler and Kenny Berkland, Lieutenants. In September the Constabulary began to function. Sophomores were found wander- ing around in the boiler room vainly seeking Miss Metcalf ' s French I class. One innocent young gentleman even strolled into the girl ' s locker room. Of course the Traffic Squad knew nothing of these occurrences. The Traffic officers in Miss Johngren ' s French III class entered the room very late one day. Traffic was very heavy, Miss J , they chanted. Seating themselves they began to study feverishly. Two minutes ticked by. Miss J began to pass out paper for un petit examen . Sorry but we can ' t stay, traffic you know they screamed as they fled down the corridor. For one reason or another some Seniors found it necessary to leave the service usually at the suggestion of the office. Vacancies were filled and dignity slowly took the place of chaos. By November, therefore, most of the members of the faculty were willing to concede that, like the Senior Class, the Traffic Squad was a most unpredictable body, but, that, with few exceptions, it did its work well. FOOTBALL Mfff ' On a mild day in September of 1944 over 7,000 pounds of eager but inexperienced gridiron material trotted out onto the Norwood High Athletic Field to begin prepara- tion for the third wartime football season. When Head Coach Ben Murray and Assistant Coach Dick Murphy called the roll they found only four kttermen were returning for another season of football wars; they were Co. Capt. Frank Jordano, Co. Capt. Eddie Butters, Tony Yelapi, and Pete Carchedi. Consequently seven posts were to be filled by lads comparatively new to the game. After a few weeks of rigorous conditioning the eleven met Needham High outfit and after a titanic struggle the contest ended in a stalemate. Then followed a series of hard fought contests which were lost to the enemy. Just at the time that the boys started to play smoothly as a unit the academic axe fell and four men were cut from the squad. Following the departure of these four, Norwood was swamped by North Quincy, trounced a weak Scituate eleven and was in turn defeated by veteran untied, unscored upon Dedham eleven. The season was featured by the introduction of the highly touted T forma- tion, but this was not sufficient to prevent the series of unfortunate accidents which were encountered each Saturday afternoon. The following boys bid a football adieu to Norwood High; Co. Capt. Frank Jordano, Co. Capt. Eddie Butters, T. J. Curtin, Ken Cavanaugh, Ken MacDonald, Ron Venteroso, Paul Fulton, Lee Dolaher, Bill Kendrick, Bob Chandler, Butch Collins, Dick Donahue, Mel Doucette, Mike Georges ,Vin Kasauskas, Jim Long, Jack Richardson, Ted Tomm and Tony Yelapi. f i Ronny Recovers O-o-oh Y-c-a-h! Lect to right — Chamberlain, Coakley, Shimsky, Payne (captain), Pothier, Woodberry, Domenico Great roars fill the stands as seven zippy cheerleaders lead the howling mob in wild pleas for victory. With a wicked gleam in her eyes, Captain Payne chants, Are we hep one-two-three? and her snappy squad proceeds to demonstrate that it is just that. Those leaders, Clare Payne, Barbara Woodberry, Millie Shimsky, Phyllis Pothier, Faith Coakley, Bob Chamberlain and Louis DiGiandomenico really put their all into spurring on the home team. Through the efforts of these super cheerleaders, the spectators catch the spirit of the game and cheer deafeningly at the proper moment. A united crowd sings the special repertoire of songs and ditties designed to pep up everyone within hearing distance. Bands may play, crowds may shout, but nothing can equal the perform- ance of an on the ball set of cheerleaders. Norwood High rooters aren ' t the only ones who will remember this year ' s cheering squad. Refreshing Memories This year a valuable and extraordinary innovation .was introduced at Norwood High. A special course in baking was arranged for senior boys by Mr. Thompson in conjunction with Miss Marcionette and classes were held weekly in the Peabody School bake shop. The course was designed to aid those who may desire to obtain the position of baker in the armed forces ( or in later life ) . Eighteen boys took advantage of the fine opportunity open to them and faithfully attended classes throughout their senior year. Under the astute guidance of two excellent teachers, Mrs. Coite and her assistant, Miss Marion Chubet, rapid and unexpected results were obtained! The class first learned the art of measuring and mixing, and then the fun began! It was soon evident that a better than average class had wended its way to the oven door, as the results obtained were always of an excellent standard. Upon completion of the course in May the boys were full-fledged culinary experts, and were capable of turning out viands that would please the most critical gourmet. Seventeen ii While we were waiting for the lights to dim, the noise to subside, and the curtain to rise, memories of the past six weeks rushed over us. We were nervous and excited at the prospect of making our stage debut, and yet we rememebered many heart- warming incidents which had occured during our several weeks of rehearsals. The two months, that we spent rehearsing the play, were far from laborious. In fact, our bantering and fooling must have discouraged our charming coach, Mrs. Charles Donahue, on more than one occasion. For instance: The night that Mr. Baxter, better known as Rog Woodworth, con- ceived the brilliant idea of serving apple cider at rehearsals. From this night until the memorable evening of December 1, we spent almost as much time drinking cider as we did rehearsing . . . Yonny Holman ' s antics with his pail and mop belonging to the Janitors, sent everybody into gales of laughter . . . Darb Greaney ' s daily symphonic concert before, during and after rehearsals, amused all, including corridor occupants . . . Pat Connolly ' s regular lunch, consisting of bread and jam, which she displayed when everybody else was beginning to hope that she would , created many arguments about — who would share Pat ' s lunch . . . Charlie Parker ' s wolfish tactics and Chubie ' s clowning interrupted many rehearsals . . . Ken Ahearn ' s frequently rehearsed speech of Damn those kids , created much amusement for all . . . Mary Alice Murphy ' s and Phyllis Pothier ' s fits of giggling, proved to be very contagious . . . Betty Ann Ryan and Clare Payne discovered that their persistant attempts to study French during the rehearsals were fruitless . . . Mary Warnke ' s good-natured disposition and Steve Davol and Jack Bouchard ' s sense of humor helped to make a pleasant atmosphere at all times. Before we realized it, December 1, was here. Seventeen was a grand success. The hall was filled to capacity. The cast enjoyed themselves so much that they wanted to give another performance on the following evening. Although, we were sad at the realization that the play was at an end, we all knew that we had many happy memories of our Senior play to cherish forever. t l jcJs ' ' ' ■£ ■■£■■ ' fyA. cf ' fes % f ' u ' ' Q j HOT • 1945 KENNETH JOSEPH AHEARN Ken 39 Rock Street Navy Football (1, 2); Hockey (1, 2, 3); Baseball (2, 3); Golf (2, 3); Intramural Basketball (2. 3); Stu- dent Council ( 1 ) ; Corresponding Secretary ( 2 ) ; Executive Board ( 3 ) ; Class Day Committee ( 2 ) ; Junior Prom Usher; Graduation Usher, 1944; Cast of the Senior Play; Co- circulation Editor of the Yearbook; Traffic Squad; Class Ring Committee.

Front row — Bonica, Editor in chief; Woodworth, Editor in chief. After being elected by their classmates, the Year Book staff immediately set to work, using room 1 34 at its official headquarters. This room was destined to become notorious during the next few months. The passerby was often liable to see the motely crew , making all manner of gestures, reach- ing for the roots of their hair, imploring the Muses, and engaging in generally heated discussions. Occasionally the rising voices were forced to retreat to the library ,when our long suffering principal, Mr. Thompson, had borne all he could of the eerie sounds that made their way from the room adjoining his office. With the sword of an early deadline tetering above their heads, the staff made at least a feeble attempt to systematically accomplish their task. Often, however, they were inclined to froget the motto, Don ' t put off until tomorrow what you can do today, reversing it to, don ' t do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Con- sequently, they were behaving a bit more demoniacally than usual, as the date ap- proached. However, with the cooperation of many kind sympathizers the Tiot of 45 was finally completed. Merci Dieu utter the staff, consisting of co-editors-in chief, Stephanie Bonica and Roger Woodworth . . . photography editor, Timothy Curtin; co-editors of adver- tising; Helen Bailey and Robert Chamberlain; co-editors of art, Romeo Bortolotti and Martin Folan; and co-editors of circulation; Thomas Curran and Kenneth Ahearn. HOCKEY Front row, left to right — Camillio, Donahue, Captain Afondor, Jankowski, Coach Learnard, Doucette, Harrington, Folan, Collir Rear row — Bortolotti, Billingham, Ahearn, Curran. At the beginning of the season it appeared certain that Norwood would have its most successful season since its entrance into the Bay State League. There were even some rabid Norwoodites who spoke of taking the championship and their arguments were not unconvincing. With only two regulars, Captain Brud Mondor and Franny Harrington along with three second stringers, Spook Donahue, Neenie Bortolotti, and Ken Ahearn returning from last years squad Coach Learnard had a tough job in choosing his starting lineup and getting his team in shape to open the season against an experienced Walpole team. Because of the lack of ice Norwood was handicapped bur the lads went to the Arena wirh high spirits hoping to knock Walpole out of the running and begin a drive that would land them at the top of the pile. Though we suffered a 7-2 defeat the spirit of the team remained high and Waltham was easily bettered 3-1 in the second game of rhe season. The B.C. High game was next on the roster and had it not been for the absence of Franny Harringron who was helping out Uncle Sam on the mail trains we would have won the game handily. Framingham and Watertown were easy vicrims but Wellesley proved too much and we dropped back into the losing column once again. The Needham game which followed the Wellesley affair was the most exciting game of the season. Marty Fblan ' s net tending and the rest of the team ' s beautiful skating were the means that enabled us to eke out a 1-0 win. The playoffs then began and Norwood drew Walpole, Wellesley and Needham, the toughest teams in the league. In the games that followed we bowed to Walpole and Wellesley but took the Needham game to end the season in third place. Good sportsmanship and team play predominated throughour the entire season, every Norwoodite being proud to say That ' s our team!

Signed, sealed, published and declared in the presence of each other, we hereunto subscribe our names as witnesses to the will of the GRADUATING CLASS of 1945 from NORWOOD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Phyllis Pothier Robert Chandler OUR BABY ' S NAME: Jane and John Soph ARRIVED: September 8, 1944 WEIGHT: ' Til the Sun Shines, Nellie SQUAWKS: A few stiffled cries at first, but then loud wails. There was some chatter about a play by the Sophomore class. However, when we discovered how much time had been left to us on the social calendar (none) by our older brothers and sisters of the Junior and Senior classes, we decided to do our Shakespeare proximo anno ... In other schools a relaxation period is a pause when students gather together and mentionThat blonde, The test, and crack the latest moron jokes. Other schools are madhouses at this time . . . no order, peace, or quiet. We don ' t talk about these things, do we? Silly boy! Is our school a madhouse during relaxation? Why natch! . . . For those who doubt our sincerity about relaxation we would advise them to think it over (if you can think) in the lunch room. If you dropped a bottle of milk, nobody razzed you — everyone did. And for a menu, may we suggest creamed egg on boat-toast with home-made brownies, fresh from the oven. Yum, Yum ... It isn ' t that we wish to become athletes or any- thing. We just like to do mat work so that when we leave the gym we will be able to say we have just arrived from Florida. The tan you get is O.K. . . . And it ' s T.S. (a tough situation) when those black-hearted, bad acting traffic officers start pushing us around. We didn ' t mind relaxation, the mats, but when we ' re sent to the third floor to find room 106 (the Hangout ) ... La Fin. FIRST STEPS: We had scarcely passed the creeping stage when we found ourselves toddling about trying to elect our class officers. Our steps became steadier and after a great deal of campaigning and controversy they were duly elected. We were just beginning to stand on our own feet when we started to trip the light fantastic at our first social function, the Sophomore Party. At any rate it was the greatest step of the Sophomore social season! . . . FIRST CHANGES: Things were all wet when we started but there have been some changes made. The baby came to the High School all in a dither over continuing Journalism work. We settled for a mimeographed sheet in which were the best works of the six Sopho- more English classes. Thanks to Miss James, our first step toward another literary pro- duction on the Hill was one idea that wasn ' t washed away. PROBLEM CHILD: check: X yes no Baby ' s broke! (or so it would seem.) Paying class taxes is as disagreeable and painful a procedure as cutting our first teeth. It is realized of course that that Friday night date just has to be impressed, but by the time we get to be tall and stately seniors we will be working every Friday and Saturday night in an attempt to keep our class out of debt. We ' re just as anxious to part with our hard earned ( ? ) money as we were with those first teeth. RECORDS HEALTH RECORD: We were in fine shape ( not including the days after U cards were issued ) and then we were informed of the T.B. test. It bothered most of us to think we might have to reveal the names of those we had come in close contact with (quite a job for the majority and definitely embarrassing for quite a few.) It has been rumored that a few of our famous football heroes passed out before even coming into range of the needle- could be they were hoping for a pretty nurse. NEEDS: One can of talcum powder, and that about covers everything. V. F.; B.

Junior Jumble On September sixth, 1944, 190 erstwhile Solemn Sophomores became Jaunty Juniors and proceeded to tackle the task at hand — that of covering ' ye hoste of books ' , after which class was dismissed. That night we poor mortals ' sufficed with fatique, retired to our nocturnal couches and sank into blissful slumber ' . (We were bushed, so we hit the hay for some shut-eye. ) Then there unfolded in the subconscious minds of your Junior Scribes, a dream: In fantasy we saw this class, all seated at a table. Our task, it seems, was to digest as much as we were able. In marched our books with heavy tread; then, mercy! What a clatter! For each and every volume there had bounced onto a platter. We started in with Spanish Soup, an Entree full of Latin, — Then came a dish of Sauteed French and History, too, au gratin. ( We half expected then to see Demosthenes and Cato Accompany a side dish of Old Socrates and Plato. We looked about quite anxiously, but noticed not a bottle From which we m ight extract a swig of ancient Aristotle.) Our teachers served us all right well, and kept on the alert; Thus when we ' d licked our platter clean, they brought on the dessert. Came Algebra and English and Biology Supreme And as they served the Chemistry we wakened from our dream. T I O T • 1945 Needless to say, the next few days brought the realization that the feast of knowledge had been in truth an imaginary event. Out class was not wholly of the intelligentsia. Upon exploring the recesses of memory, we recalled one succulent morsel from that ' Soup Sublime ' , — an old Spanish proverb which says — Who sleeps much learns little. After pondering this, we flouted the curfew, turned to night life, and adopted ten o ' clock as our bed time. As the weeks passed, we became adjusted to routine and before long we were all on the ball . The pupils of one Latin Class early displayed remarkable skill in vocabulary. It seems the malodorous results of an Experiment Perilous in the Chemistry lab wafted their way, whereupon each erudite scholar delicately pinched nose with thumb and forefinger and muttered Olet . The teacher gave them all A for the day, for she, too, knew it smelled. Tempus sure did Fugit, and each day our Junior Class became more infused with learning, (or do we mean confused?). In Biology several of us mingled with Sophs to learn about the Birds and Bees. Strange Music frequently eminated from Voice Train- ing and Harmony. Students of Junior English memorized the important facts — Accentuate the Posi- tive, Eliminate the Negative, etc. Members of this Junior Class are well acquainted with the meaning of those initial groups we hear so much about. W.P.B. up here on the hill means — Women ' s Powder Brigade. O.P.A. in Biology means — Onion Peels Analyzed, and down in the lunchroom, W.L.B. stands for — Who Likes Baloney? A number of brave souls tunneled their way to an evening of fun and entertainment at the class party on February sixteenth. Spring — and as far as the naked eye could see were groups of young sprouts and ' Melancholy Dames ' (or should we say Mona Lizards) gazing wistfully at nature. Oh-hum! What are books in spring? With occassional encouragement in the form of You ' ll be sor-r-ry! or Straighten Up and Fly Right we all weathered the verdant season — Prom and all. As the school year draws to a close, we Juniors feel we are a long way toward becoming Successful Seniors next fall. In summary, we would like to say, Hubba-hubba . N. B. J. C.

Betty Lydon has been promoted recently to the Head designer for Lille Dache. Congratulations, Bett! Two Norwoodites, Gertie Jodoin and Nance Morrow, graduates of the Class of 1945, retired from the Waves last Tuesday morning. They have just completed five years of very active service. Mary Curran has received the title, the Bonniest Girl Ever to Graduate From Norwood High. This award was made at the last meeting of the Laugh and Be Gay club, of which Phyl Pothier was unanimously elected President last year. Buth Singleton has finished Occu- pational Therapist training at the University of Illinois, and she is now doing her research-work in the Navy Department. Miss Pat Connolly, the new Super- intendent of Nurses at the Norwood Hospital, has created quite a sensa- t on at that establishment. She be- lieves firmly in the respect of her staff, so she parades the corridors on stilts so that her nurses will look up to her! ! ! The Norwood school children had their teeth examined yesterday by the new Dental Hygienist, Elizabeth Gleichauf. The children enjoyed the examination immensely. Nance Colby is designing chil- drens ' hats. These clever caps are made from the paper napkins which Nancy collected while she was a Senior at Norwood High School.

Georges tells me that he and Hawley ran on the great track team of Norwood High, where they both attended during the more suc- cessful years of Norwood track history. ... Don Bodge was surprised last night when Bob McGrath was thrown into his lap at the wrestling matches. MoGrath was thrown out of the ring by The Spook. Bodge, who is a professor at Harvard, greeted him with a cheery, How goes the night, boy 1 Two former Norwood High gradu- ates, Bob Chamberlain and Kenneth Ahearn are to take on Sam Snead and Byron Nelson in eighteen holes at the Norfolk Country Club today. The Chamberlain-Ahearn combina- ;ion has agreed to spot the challen- gers two strokes per round to make contest exciting. Don Warde and Leo Dolaher will watch the balls while Honest Darb Graney will keep score to insure against pencil pushing. Five talented members of the 1945 Norwood High Hockey Team have met with sparkling success in their first year in the pro-hockey world, ' layer-manager, Ed Mondor has whipped these amateurs into fast, hard-checking, first-linemen. Spark- ing the onslaught are: Fran Harring- ton, Spook Donahue, and Ed Mondor. Butch Collins is a bulwark at de- fense. Bespectacled Borneo Borto- lotti has been taking time off from his regular cartooning job with the Saturday Evening Post to play second line. If one should venture into Toinm ' s Recreation Center in the heart of downtown Boston, one would see a strange sight. Gathered around the billiard tables could be seen four ■nen, all graduates from the same high school. Stranger yet, is the fact that Ted Tonim, the owner of the Center, came from Norwood High the same year. The four men in the playoffs are Ken Cavanaugh, Ken Berkland, Fred Carroll and Ken MacDonald. The misses ' Barb Coughlin and Joyce Laverick have become such experts at roller skating that they have been advised by all to have their famous legs insured by the well-known firm of Lloyd ' s of London. TRIPLE THREATS CALL FOR CHALLENGERS The three aces of the Skeet Shoot League, Kasauskas, Oelschlagel, and Maini, yesterday called for challen- gers. In the last match played, the Triple-Threats defeated the Straight- Shooters in a heated contest.. A strange coincidence was that all six of the contestants hailed from Nor- wood High in 1945. Henry, Tarpey, and Reynolds made up the Straight Shooters. PINE AND WENSTROM COMBINATION TO FACE PARKER AND GARNER The kings of the ten pins, Pine and Wenstrom, are to face the up and coming princes of the alleys, Garner and Parker tonight at the Norwood Table Tennis, Billiards and Bowling Palace. The Hideout, as it is more commonly called, is owned and m anaged by Victor Dyer, Jack Donahue and Paul F. Fulton. Two- gun Tex McDonough will be the official score keeper while Vito Pennacchio counts the pins to be sure they are all set up.

The Student Council Left to right — Woodworth, President; Pink, Vice President; Woodberry, Rec. Sec; Greaney, Cor. Sec; Butters, Treasurer; Payne, Harrington, Chandler, Ahearn. Second row — Mondor, Legge, Curran, Chubet, Sansone, Mahoney, Perniola, McDonald. Rear row — Tomm, Billingham, Nordbloom, Blasenak, Sykes, Murray. The Student Council began the fourth year of its existence last September with officers, and home room representatives all determined that the Council should have a banner year. Plans were immediately begun to transfer their hopes into realities. A War Bond Rally, speeches in Assembly, and pep talks in the several home rooms were instrumental in our flying of the Treasury Flag for two months this year as this goes to press. Early in the school year the Council voted to give a jacket to every football letter- man. A dance and raffle were conducted to finance this appropriation. Among other bills the Council passed legislation providing for: . . . cheerleaders to be elected in June rather than September with a tryout assembly preceeding the election. . . . three standing committees appointed by the President to study and hold public hearings on all bills, reporting their recommendations to the Council for final action. ... an Election Commission of five members to control and conduct all high school elections. The Student Council ... an Alumni Association to retain interest in the High School after graduation. A Miss Norwood High dance was held late in April to help fill the Council ' s coffers. As a final project a Norwood Night at Pops was sponsored by the Council in May, the first town night in Pops history. To Miss Johngren, the faculty advisor, a great portion of the credit for the success of this year must go. Without her wise counsel and hard work much that was ac- complished would still be in the talking stage. In Norwood High we are fortunate; our Student Council is run by the students for the students, with no interference from our elders. We make mistakes -but they are our mistakes and we profit by them. Thus our student government today makes for better town, state, and national government tomorrow. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM Captain Bob Maini and his Rifle Team BASKETBALL This year ' s basketball team, under the leadership of Coach Murray and Captain Jordano completed the schedule with a record of four wins and five losses. The jinx that followed the football team was still in evidence, for what should have been a fine season turned into a mediocre one with only occasional flashes of brilliance. One consoling note is the fact that four of the losses sustained were by five points or less. The most thrilling game was the 41 to 38 loss to a heavily favored Franklin club — a game in which the blue and white rose to tremendous heights only to be overcome in the final seconds. Outstanding performances were turned in by every member of the team, but Lady Luck refused to smile on their efforts. Captain Jordano ' s excellent playmaking ability, together with Roily Esper ' s shooting eye and the all arond play of Joe Conti composed the frontal attack, while Seniors Teddy Tomm and Charlie Parker, to- gether with second year Pete Carchedi, formed an effective defense. The Norwood seconds, composed of Venterosa, Campisano, Mattson, Murray, Sykes, and Thomas were unmindful of jinxes, and raced through six straight games before tasting a loss. A close contest was lost, split evenly, thus giving them a closing record of 7 wins and two losses. Good luck to next year ' s Captain Joe Conti. Track Tea m Front row — Tauber; Thomas; Giampietro; Co-Captain Hawley; Co-Captain Garner; Davol. Second row — Manager LeBlanc; Ronci; Donahue; Wassil; Giampa; DeRoma; Carchedi; Coach Wheeler. Golf Te a m Left to right, front row — Chubet; Chamberlain; Holman; Ahearn; Doucette; Billingham; Coach Learnard. BASEBALL A group of 45 hopeful candidates turned out on April second to form what is hoped will be another typical Norwood High School team. Coach Murray is especially blessed with good material this year — headed by Captain Frannie Harrington, Ed Mondor, and Charlie Parker, all of whom were regulars on the Championship nine of two years ago. Also on deck are: Bob Chandler who has had some experience behind the plate, Joe Conti, smooth fielding short stop, Neenie Bortolotti, all around man, and outfielder Ken MacDonald. The main pitching duties will fall upon the shoulders of Sophomore Ted Campisano aided also by pitchers Mondor, Holman, and Tomm. The schedule includes such games as: Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, Needham, Hyde Park, Walpole, Franklin, and our arch rival Dedham. The team hopes to win its share of these games and then — on to Fenway Park and the Schoolboy Championship.
