' So long, ai your heart received meddaged o beauty., cheer, cour- age, ana grandeur f,rom the earth, from man, ana [rom the infinite, Jo long gou are goung. : MISS RYAN every part. A lot of energy and time went into the production, with plenty of fun in between, and the final results were a source of satis- faction to the audience, class and cast alike. Christmas vacation ended all too soon. Trudging through so much snow for so long, had made us winter-weary, but it was time to look our best for those all-important graduation pictures, elect Senior Su- perlatives, continue work on the year book, and cheer on the basket- ball and hockey teams. Soon the strains of Gay Nineties ' Songs could be heard almost any home room period, as we rehearsed for our Senior Musical on April 9 and 10. And we have still another important date to look forward to — May 14 — the Senior Prom! Time is marching on and we pause to pay tribute to our inde- fatigable principal, Mr. Hayden, who was ever willing and anxious to sympathize with, and help solves our problems. To our class adviser, Miss Ryan, we owe our profound thanks. She was always ready to help us out of our difficulties and never failed to come up with an origi- nal idea when we needed it. We ' ll always remember her sincere in- terest in us and how long and hard she worked to help make all our undertakings successful. Then, too, we thank our teachers for the kind- ness, thoughtfulness, and help they have given us. And now, it ' s almost graduation time. With sincere regret we must leave the familiar classes and teachers and classmates, and put them away with our memories. Three years of time have passed — we are again at the threshhold of Norwood High, facing, this time, in the opposite direction. Behind us lie the memorable, carefree years we have spent together, when Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . A feeling of sadness embraces us as we pause to consider that what lies ahead for all of us will most certainly be a new look at life — with problems to be solved and suc- cesses to be achieved by us — the future citizens of our country — and we raise our heads, and with determination and confidence prepare to descend the stairs of Norwood High.

ii youth jVow frllej on leathered 3eet ' Summer came and went. September arrived and with lighter but firmer steps, greater determination, and more confidence and enthusi- asm, we again ascended the hill to Norwood High. Could it possibly be that we, the Class of ' 48, were now the Senior Class? Ah, yes, we were the ones who now occupied the choice seats in assembly, survey- ing the poor, perplexed sophs in their initial state of confusion and adjustment! However, we were reminded that with this year comes responsibility, dignity, and leadership, as we truly were now ' Seniors at Norwood High. For this, our last and biggest year, we chose Jack Coughlin to be our chief executive. Priscilla Donahue continued as Vice-president, Janet McKeown reassumed secretarial duties. Nancy Chandler again filled the job of Girls ' Treasurer; Walter Glazer was Boys ' Treasurer, and Gloria Bianchini and Butch Walsh represented us on the A. A. Council. Meanwhile the football squad was working toward a successful season, hampered slightly at times by the flying arrows of the archery enthusiasts, or by the spasmodi c yells of the ever-practicing cheer leaders. We kept up the football spirit with rallies, snappy programs, and new cheers; our team was good and we were proud of them! The New Look was cautiously beginning to creep into school, and for every long skirt, the cuffs of the boys ' pants went up another inch in rebellion, but there was a limit! An active and energetic Debating Club was being organized, a new Glee Club was formed, and let us not neglect to mention the Horizon Club, or the mysterious Sparky Club. The undefeated Rangers ' basketball team was fast gaining popularity and the Order of the Cwazy Wacky Wabbits, an organization of dubious worth, was officially established. Then came the period of tryouts and rehearsals for our Senior Play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay , and we had the talent for Standing, left to right- Seated — Chandler.
