JCtuwxL L JimsL MISS KENEPICK Seniors! And how we had longed for this day, when we might command the respect of our underclassmen and excel the records of previous classes. The tinge of pride we felt when we assumed our duties as traffic officers — when the Sophomores and Juniors rose as we entered the assembly hall, but above all, the day when Mr. Hayden told us that we were the class that he would depend on for help and support in all school activities. During the summer three new members had been added to the faculty — Mr. O ' Donnell, our ever efficient sub-master; Mr. Scafati, who has gained the respect and admiration of everyone in so short a time; and Mr. Levanitis, whose sincerity and enthusiasm quickly endeared him to us all. The first business of the year was elections. With a sure step we approached the election booths and this time the peoples ' choices were: Ben Sykes, as our chief magistrate, with Dick Sager assisting him; Ginny Forrest was once again chosen to keep our records; Joan Dwane and Skippy Gay as comptrollers of our finances; while on Rena Venter osa and Sonny Mattson we bestowed the honor of representing us on the A. A. Council. Within a few days, we were busily at work collecting material, checking up on the latest gossip, and stapling together the pages of our first football programs. How excited we were before that first game! . . . The cheer- leaders ' first chance — the success or failure of our literary efforts to be determined — and above all the team ' s first chance of the year! Our excite- ment soared even higher when Mr. Hayden thoughtfully planned a rally for the Friday afternoon before the game. By Saturday afternoon we were all very tense and prayerful — and then the game — and we won! We won! ! ! Both our cheerleaders and our programs were a success. The football season was off to a glorious start! About this time some members of our class became very social-minded and the Spoon Club, an organization which has fostered many worthwhile projects, was founded. And while on the subject of society, I must not forget to mention the Sub-Deb Club, which came into existence in our Junior year, and the Kan Club, which was established shortly after the Spoon Club. Two weeks before our Turkey Day classic things really began to hum — plans were being made for our gigantic Torchlight Parade and Rally. We discovered another one of Mr. Hayden ' s many talents when he took over the painful job of teaching many of the two left-footed members of the school the correct way to march. (Gym was never like that!) Thanks to the untiring efforts of the committees in charge, the foresight and advice of our principal, and the marvelous co-operation of the entire student body, we carried on the Parade and Rally in typical style — the best! ! The next three weeks found us rushing around preparing for our Senior Play. Rehearsals, rehearsals, and still more rehearsals were held — committees were formed — everyone (inclusive of time) was working and on the memorable nights of December thirteenth and fourteenth we reaped the rewards of our toil!

Lest you forget I will remind you that English, French, bookkeeping, algebra, physics, and all the other classes were still in session, and assign- ments were still being given. All this and the fact that a few extra bottles accidentally broke in the lunchroom (do you remember?) For these reasons we greeted Christmas happily. After vacation came a rapid succession of events — first, there was our introduction to what soon became our second home — the Tiot Room . . . The hockey season . . . then that long-yearned-for Senior Prom — our own Senior Prom — the Prom which surpassed all other Senior Proms! . . . then came the primping and posing for our graduation pictures . . . the victorious basketball team . . . the elections for Senior superlatives and at present we are whipping up our Satellites, which, surely, will be a great hit. The success that we have enjoyed this year is due in a great measure to the patience, understanding, and efficiency of our Senior Adviser, Miss Kenefick. All we can offer her is our sincere thanks and appreciation for being so wonderful to us. And now that the time has come for us to leave Norwood High we are looking ahead to the future — the future which can mean but one thing for each and every member of our class — success! We promise Mr. Hayden that it will be the type of success that will always make him proud of his first graduating class — the class of 1947.
