Norwood High School - Tiot Yearbook (Norwood, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 188 of the 1953 volume:

£S y X W %g8tf .. tot a x V . a y J-orewor J When we began this Tiot in September, we were almost staggered by the realization that we would have to live up to the great precedent set for us by former classes. Yet the work of the past months now seems inconsequential in comparison with the gratifying sense of accomplishment that we feel at this moment. We have attempted to make this yearbook a treasure chest of memories, and we hope that it will prove to be just that from the beautiful colored picture of our school to the last page, where we have expressed our appreciation to all who have made possible the production of this book. Here on the following pages are presented the fruits of our labors, our deepest and lightest moments. We hope that you will like your book— we have done our best. The days may come, the days may go, But still the hands of memory weave The blissful dreams of long ago. -P. E. H.

Hayden, in affectionate appreciation of all that he has done for us, our school, and our community. In addition to performing his countless duties and in coordinating the policies of the school, Mr. Hayden has always been willing to assist each of us in our individual plans and difficulties. His love of young people, his interest in and concern for them, add a special kind of friendliness to Norwood High. In the immortal words of Ovid, we leave him with the assurance, Namque est memoria voluptas. (It is a pleasure to remember.)— D. R. C. ' 53. S ckool l yj-Piciald SUPERINTENDENT LINCOLN D.

Timorous and insignificant sophomores were we, with the eyes of upperclassmen gazing pityingly on our green gaucherie. The words of welcome and encouragement which we received from Mr. Hayden on the first day of school were sadly needed, for being the lower crust of the Tiot social set, we lived in mortal fear of the mighty seniors and of reprobation from the conscientious traffic squad, as we wor- shipped the senior stars from afar. We felt less like stray mavericks from the open range after the election of our class officers: Fred Parkinson, president; Dick Bunker, vice-president; Janice Green- wood, secretary; Joyce King and Eugene Thayer, treasurers; and Charles and Joan Sparrow, A.A. representatives. We became an integral part of our school upon the presentation of our Christmas Assembly with Fred Parkinson as Saint Joseph, Lois Garner as Virgin Mary, and Robert de Vito, Manuel Dias and William Burke as the Wisemen. Miss Gow, our chief advisor, helped make this pageant the success it undoubtedly was with her patient direction. We acclimated ourselves at our first sec- tional meetings, had the law laid down to us at later ones, and at the last meetings we filled out elective blanks in preparation for our next year. We took pride in our promising athletes and in the excellent record they made, and in the election of Mary McNally to the cheering squad for the next year. With more courage than sense we tried to do as many things as we could in one year, and we did them as well as we knew how. In June, we said sad goodbye to our senior friends, but gloated with excitement at the prospect of becoming JUNIORS! How dear to our hearts are the scenes of our childhood When fond recollection presents them to view.

The position ol juveniles first class was ably filled by a new crop of sophies and we looked up to the newly initiated seniors. With aplomb and finesse we chose our new officers: Dick Bunker, president; Dick Surette, vice-president; Rosemarie Kelley, secretary; Joyce King and John Cieri, treasurers; and Joan and Charles Sparrow, our A.A. representatives once more. We cheered our hearts out at the foot- ball games and nearly burst with pride when Norwood defeated her arch-rival, Dedham, for the first time in many years. We studied madly, prayed for vacations to come, but were impatient to return to school for fear we would miss something. We prepared huge quantities of (lowers, tinsel rain , and umbrellas as we trans- planted the gym to represent a veritable Garden in the Rain for our Prom. The realization that the year was speed- ing rapidly to a close dawned on us with the all-important elections of our cheer- leaders, and the responsibility of choosing capable Student Council officers and com- petent Editors-in-Chief for our Yearbook. Being law-abiding and civic-conscious, we all had aspirations to become members of the traffic squad. No other motive ac- counted for our feverish interest, of course. Came the day we held the reception for our graduating pals, and we listened to their prophecy, will, and history with the knowledge that we would all too soon be following them. We watched the carefree Seniors merrily spinning out their final days at N. H. S., envying, hoping, praying, planning, anticipating. Long be our hearts with such mem- ories filled Like the vase in which roses have once been distiU ' d. ' 53s OFFICERS AS JUNIORS C. Sparrow, Surette, King, Kelley, Cieri. J.

We had reached the top rung in the ladder of our high school progress— Seniors, at long last! Patroniz- ingly we looked down our noses at the help- less Sophies , who couldn ' t remember locker combinations or curb their gum chewing habits. In a closely fought and spirited election we put back into office our Junior slate : Dick Bunker, president; Dick Surette, vice- president; Rosemarie Kelley, secretary; foyce King and Johnny Cieri, our chan- cellors of exchequer; Joan Sparrow, our girls ' A. A. representative, and for the boys, Billy Neilsen as a new addition to the presidential family. We held the seats of honor in Student Council with handsome Val Pelletier pounding the gavel as President. We took our coveted places as proud traffic officers and we backed up our lovely cheerleaders: Marilyn Swift, Carol Stapleton, Margie Hamilton, Joyce King, Joan Sparrow and their captain Mary McNally. Our football team swept to a stunning Turkey Day victory after a mediocre season, and all our teams maintained a record of clean-playing sportsmanship. Having bestowed on David Carlson and Phyllis Hawkes the responsibility and su- preme honor of being chief editors of our yearbook, we elected Billy Thompson and Rosemarie Kelley as advertising editors; Richard Paul and Patty Magnell as art editors; and Margaret Foley and Val- more Pelletier as circulation editors, and mightily did they toil. Our senior play, Mother is. a Freshman , presented much heretofore undiscovered talent with John Reardon, Lois Garner, Mildred Gnerre, and David Tarr playing the leads. Scarcely had we time to turn around after college boards, before operetta rehearsals began and the school came alive with wild and woolly outlaws and Spanish senoritas along a Golden Trail. Feverishly we prepared for our Senior Prom, transforming the gym into a dream (Continued on Page 159) [ 21 ] MICHAEL CLEMENT ABELY Mike .

Among ours was the first real get-together on a beautiful day in early September 1952, when we boarded the buses and headed for the Peabody annual picnic, held at Rocky Woods in Medfield. Our adventures and fun there were the topics of conversation for weeks after. Next came the excitement of campaign- ing for class offices, and after the votes were cast and the ballots counted we had made the following choices: Jean Welch, president; Leona O ' Neil, vice-president; Lila Ristom, secretary; Phyllis Lorusso, treasurer; and Betty Welch, assembly rep- resentative. The officers took hold and with the help of our efficient faculty a superb Halloween Party was planned. A talent contest was conducted among the sophomores, juniors, seniors, and post-graduates, with a copious amount of talent displayed, and Joanie ' s mock wedding winning everyone ' s vote. With time out from trade, our White Elephant sale was planned, worried about, and executed, resulting in another Peabody success and more money for our treasury. Christmas spirit prevailed as we enjoyed a hot turkey dinner, followed by the sing- ing of carols and an appropriate play. This put the girls and boys (all seven of them) in the right mood necessary for their visit from Santa. Pictures were taken and ice cream and cake were served. Will we ever forget our wonderful prom?

Wheeler Director Boys ' Vocational School Mechanical Drawing Our modern trade or vocational school is a high school, granting a high school diploma. The school is equipped with the machinery actually used in the occupation for which boys are being trained. Tools, methods, and standards are those of present day industry. The skill training is on real, productive work of commercial value. Learning in the shop is supplemented with periods of in- struction in the class room.

Our first accomplishment was the election of officers: John Doyle as president, Mar- lene Johnston as vice-president, Irene Falconer as secretary, Georgia Georges and Rocco Pennachio as treasurers, and as A.A. representatives, Porta Sideropoulis and Paul Eckhardt. The Junior class made its mark in sports this year. Marilyn Aspro, Junior cheerleader and next year ' s captain, did an outstanding job. Bozo Doyle excelled in both football and basketball. Steve Sava- nauskas and Paul Eckhardt were valuable additions to our football team. Patrick Lydon made a praiseworthy contribution to our basketball team. The Junior Class was admirably represented on the hockey team by Paul Eckhardt, Bobby Mahar and Danny Gomes. The big event of the year for us was the Junior Prom, held on February sixth. The gym was gayly decorated in March Gras fashion, the music was entrancing, the refreshments delightful, and the dancing was enjoyed by all. This was a night that will be long remembered. Class Day brought our activities for this year to a close and left us with a whole summer to contemplate the exalted posi- tion which we will occupy next year. We hope that it will be a year even more filled with accomplishment and happiness than this one. — M. M. ' 54 [ 58 ] CLASS OF ' 55 OFFICERS Seated: Worster, Whittlesly.

' fP9 Came September 10, that momentous day that we all had so long anticipated with mingled feelings of delight and timidity, and with it the realizaton that we were at last full-fledged members of the School on the Hill called Norwood. Through be- wildering mazes of corridors we made our unobtrusive but hopeful way, amid the supercilious grins of the upper classmen. What critical eyes the traffic officers cast at us! At all those football games, how we gave lusty chorus to our Alma Mater, hoping that other spectators would recog- nize us as part of the Senior High School. Now we were able to own and uphold that proud title. Soon we began to make new and renew old friendships, and from our colleagues we chose our leaders: Kenneth Worster, president; Marcia Pelletier, vice-president; Susan Whittlesey, secretary; Anna Bilotta, girls ' treasurer; Ronald Cieri, boys ' trea- surer; Carmelia Pungitore, girls ' A.A.; and Domenic Renzi, boys ' A. A. On October 21, we met for the first time as an entire class and made plans for our Sophomore Party. This gala event took place on October 24. Our more outstanding entertainers were June Compardy and Marcia Pelletier dancing the Charleston, Helene Marcoux performing an original monologue, a quartet made up of Paul Charron, Joe Costello, Robert Donlan and John Walsh, and a duet by Lorraine Cava- naugh and Gail Riley. Danny Chisholm, our emcee, was an integral part of our show and greatly added to the good time. With our most difficult years ahead of us, we are looking forward with great an- ticipation and some anxiety to our next two years at Norwood High. — S. W.

The annual Student Council Dance was held on Friday evening, November seventh. This popular event was a success both socially and financially. Valmore Pelletier, William Neilsen, Pa- tricia McGuff, and Janice Greenwood acted as representatives of the Norwood High Student Council at the conference of the Eastern Massachusetts Division of Student Councils which was held in Winchester. A speed-graphic camera was purchased by the Council for the Photography Club, at their request. A punch bowl is also to be purchased for use at social events. A Service Committee was formed, con- sisting of representatives of all three classes. The purpose of this Committee is to con- duct projects, which will benefit the school. At present this group is completing work on the athletic pictures which are to be on permanent display in our school cor- ridors. The present method of elections and nominations is being studied by a special committee. Work is also being done on the revision of the Student Handbook. Each year two members of the Council are elected to serve as representatives to the Norwood Community Council. These rep- resentatives serve as a link between the school and the town. This year those rep- resentatives are Valmore Pelletier and John Doyle. The March of Dimes and the Heart Fund, which were sponsored by the Council, were both successful, and students contributed generously toward the Pencil Drive for Korean School Children. The Council owes a vote of thanks to Miss Hubbard, our Faculty Advisor, who has guided us so faithfully in our activities, to Mr. Hayden, who has been so helpful, and to the faculty and student body, who have been most co-operative. — R.

Tit $ [ Veil Jnat C na.5 -3o S well For the second successive year our team was outclassed by a not too potent Need- ham eleven 6-0 in the opening game of the season. Once again the cause was our failure to pick up those valuable yards at the right time. Our defensive maneuvers went smoothly enough. The Framingham game was supposed to be a pushover for the local lads, but our opponents turned in an excellent perfor- mance and won a 19-14 victory. Cieri and Doyle accounted for our tallies. We traveled to Belmont in quest of the elusive goddess of victory and this time we were successful. Our great end, Richie Jenkins, led the attack as he raced for two touchdowns. The final score was Norwood 20, Belmont 7- Despite a terrific Norwood defense, the throwing arm of Milton ' s quarterback, the famed Bob Lake, was just a little too much for our boys to handle and we lost a third game 14-6. Eddie MacMahon was our only shining light as he dashed sixty-four yards after receiving a pass from Bozo Doyle. The next game again found us on the short end of the score, as North Quincy came up with their usual fine playing to completely outclass us 27 to 13. Johnny Cieri, our fleet running back, came into the limelight as he rammed through the powerful North Quincy defensive for num- erous gains and two touchdowns. The boys just couldn ' t seem to get the old drive that ' s so vital in winning games, so we suffered two more defeats at the hands (not to mention feet) of Braintree (12-6) and Wellesley (19-0), the latter team being undefeated for the season. We came into our own, however, in the game with Natick in which our boys fought (Continued on Page 160) [ 84 ] Kj ' irls (l3ciSKetociLl ■ Kneeling: Left to Right. Cordo, Martoivska, Capt. Poce.

I X Q% PUCK PANEGYRIC That figures do lie was proven once again by a valorous but unfortunate group of hockey players who represented our school on the ice this year. A run- down of scores would only tell the sad story of many defeats, but it would not tell of the skill, courage, and determination of a hard-working team of serious players. In the Walpole game, our boys led 4-3 until almost the last second of the game, only to lose it 5-3. Dick Flaherty scored two goals and Pelletier and Bowles accounted for the other two. gm )MlW«m The identical thing happened in a nip-and-tuck game with Boston College High in which Neilsen scored two goals and was named Player of the Week in the Bay State League. Neilsen was also named in the All Stars and they took the Eastern Massachusetts and Greater-Boston Interscholastic matches. With Mr. Robert Conley as the new coach, our starting line consisted of Wheatley and co-captains Flaherty and Neilsen, Pelletier and Surette in defense, and Rombola in the goal. Eckhardt, Palmer, Sparrow, Mullane, Newark, and sophomore Mike Graney, saw plenty of action and all deserve the greatest praise. -D. C. ' 53 HIGH, HANDSOME, AND NOT SO WIDE Lacking height, but having that old scoring spark from Cieri, Bunker, and Doyle, plus the great backboard play of Lydon and Thompson, we started the season by losing to a great Needham team 69-53. Bozo Doyle emerged as high scorer with twenty- one points. For our next encounter, we journeyed to Natick only to lose our second game by two points. Cieri and Bunker came through with the scoring punch but it failed to be enough as Natick nosed us out 55-53. Our first of three successive victories took place at Framingham when we downed their local talent 58-34. Wellesley proved an easy foe as our Big Three scored a total of 62 points, of which Cieri claimed 24. In Milton, where they have lost only three games in five years, we managed to keep the lead until the final buzzer proclaimed us the victors 55-53. WHMPS DUBBA. ' ' ■;• ' ■ ' ' ■■ ' -• I ALi5ie is] DICK Dedhara was to be our next victim but we just couldn ' t get thoss extra points to pull ahead. Dedhara won 61 to our 59, with Dick Bunker running up 22 points. Our other archrival, Walpole, gave us quite a tussle until the final period when John Cieri broke the game wide open with his spectacular shots, and we re-entered the victory column with a 65-45 score. When Needham played on our home court, they again proved invulnerable and bore home the laurels of victory and a 69-54 tally. Also, Natick ' s sharpshooters when they defeated us 62-55. An improved Framingham quintet almost upset our applecart, but Bunker and Doyle were red hot as they scored 27 and 20 points respectively and we won. For our sixth victory we really put on a scoring show against Wellesley and amassed a total of 80 points, 70 of which were scored by the Big Three, with the rich kids totaling 65.

At the same time, we wish to suggest to our fellow classmates and to all our friends who read this book that they patronize the stores listed in our advertising section. Yearbook advertising may reach a more limited audience than newspaper advertising, but it is much more permanent and much more handsomely displayed, and it will be read through the years by all of us who cherish this souvenir of happy high school days.

Then with dizzy speed came our grad- uation rehearsals, the Class Day reception by the Juniors, and our banquet. Soon our footsteps are to travel different paths which may not meet again. So we leave carrying with us the memory of that famous precept of our beloved principal, Ladies and Gentlemen always. When Time, who steals our years away, shall steal our pleasures, too, The memory of the past will stay, and half our joys renew. S titl Arre SJItede Jhouahts . . .

Nevertheless, all the girls turned up looking ravishing in their gowns, and we danced to our theme song, Moonlight and Roses. Bob Vesper ' s orchestra played and the waltz contest was won by Mary Greenlaw and Jimmy Armstrong. Barbara Sameski was chosen Miss Peabody, and Lila Ristom and Jean Welch were her at- tendants. June rushed up on us and meant only one thing, DEPARTURE. The under- graduates entertained the seniors at a buffet luncheon on the lawn of the Peabody school. It was a beautiful day and every- one seemed happy. However, deep down we felt rather sad to be leaving the school and the teachers we had learned to love so well, but all good things must come to an end.

All our boys played as fine a game as has been seen in Norwood for many a moon. Encouraged now, and more confident of our ability, we prepared for the annual classic with Dedham on Thanksgiving day. In what was a bitterly fought contest all the way, our boys simply refused to yield and completely bewildered the Dedham clan, to score a terrific upset by a score of 20-G. Richi Jenkins scored two T.D. ' s and Johnny Cieri left the great Dedham defense in utter ruin, while our stalwart captains, Parkinson, Surette, and Lane were stellar standouts. — R. B.

We downed Walpole once again 63-46 and Dick Bunker was right in stride with 28 points, but in the final encounter of the campaign, we were completely out- classed by a spirited Dedham quintet by a score of 71-57. Although this wasn ' t a too successful season, we managed to win seven games which were three more than we won last year. We are looking forward to bigger things next year as John Doyle, and Packy Lydon are juniors this year. The Big Three ended the season with a total of 698 points. Well done, boys!!-D.C.
