Every week, it seemed, brought another teacher back into the fold. As we saw how quickly these returned servicemen fitted into the picture, we realized for the first time the enormous task it must have been to keep the school running with its war time personnel. Our hats go off to our teachers who fought this battle of education on the home front, — as well as to those who served more directly. Class Advisors Lejt to right — Miss Metcalf, Miss Coughlin, Mr. Dunn, Miss Johngren, Chairman; Miss McCormack, Mr. Butler.

Offi ce This candid was taken during one of the pauses in the busy life of the office. The bench along the wall was usually well filled with offenders waiting to speak with Mr. Hayden; Jean was almost always answering someone ' s complaint about a lost pen or glasses case, while Mr. Thompson planned affairs of state with class presidents, student council officers and year book editors. The hallmark of the office has always been its friendly efficiency. Comes the spine- chilling summons, then a rubber-like feeling in the knees, the all too short walk along the corridor or down the stairs. Soon a message arrives, — Your mother is sending a taxi because of the storm, or, You have a dentist appointment at t ' hree o ' clock, or just possibly, We ' ve had a rather disturbing report about you . . . We will always remember our encounters with the office force, whether for praise or censure, with real nostalgia, for they played such a definite part in our life at Norwood High.
