We realize that these days were perhaps some of our happiest, and so the staff of this year ' s Tiot has labored hard to make this book one that will bring back fond recollections in the years to come. We sincerely hope that it meets with your approval and also that it matches the high standard set by the Norwood High yearbooks in the past. M.J.

From the motherly women who made us feel at home in the primary grades, to the realistic professeurs in the high school who instructed us on a more adult level, never have so few done so much for so many, to paraphrase a famous oration. It is to all these meritorious teachers then, that we wish to dedicate this record of our high school days to show our grati- tude, esteem, and honor. They are infinitely deserving of all three.

Wake Our 2)eU SOPHOMORE YEAR In September of 1951, a melange of stu- dents from the Junior High School and Saint Catherine ' s School came together for the first time to form the Sophomore class of Norwood High School. In the manner characteristic of Sopho- mores, we began our first year at the School on the Hill with intermingled joy and anxiety, excitement and bewilderment. We were awe-stricken by the confident and accomplished Seniors, and we hoped that we might follow their precedent in schol- astic, athletic and social prowess. Our activities as a class began with the election of officers in October of that year. The leaders whom we chose to pilot us through this most important year were: Donald Tanneyhill, president; Gerald NcNeil, vice-president; Irene Falconer, sec- retary; Peter Folan and Marilyn Aspro, treasurers; Porta Sideropoulos and Paul Eckhardt, A. A. representatives. The next few months were spent in learning to work together and to become acquainted with our new teachers and new environment. The various committees for the Soph- omore party co-operated to plan a most enjoyable evening with dancing, refresh- ments and entertainment. Shortly after that we collaborated to produce an appropriate and pleasant Christmas Assembly. Members of our class became active in Student Coun- cil, in athletics and on committees, and by the end of our first year at Norwood High we began to feel that we were constituents in good standing. [20] % unction as WlicUte Wen JUNIOR YEAR In September of our second year at High School, our confidence and assurance had increased and we were no longer so un- certain or so spell-bound by the haughty seniors. Our class officers during the year 1952-53 were: John Doyle, preside nt; Marlene Johnston, vice-president; Irene Falconer, secretary; Georgia Georges and Rocco Pen- nachio, treasurers; Porta Sideropoulos and Paul Eckhardt, A.A. representatives. As the year progressed we became aware of the athletic capabilities of several of our classmates. Players like John Doyle, Paul Eckhardt and Patrick Lydon gave us high hopes for a senior year of outstanding athletic accomplishments. However, all our attainments were not athletic, for our Junior Prom, with its colorful Mardi Gras theme, was one of the gayest and loveliest ever held at Norwood High. Three outstanding Junior boys, Donald McComb, John Schuller and Gerald Pike, admirably represented Norwood at Boys ' State, and we were proud to send Elizabeth Dunn as our delegate to Girls ' State. John Doyle won the Harvard Book Award. The latter part of our Junior Year was spent in making preparations for our Sen- ior year. We elected Marlene Johnston and Richard Saunders editors-in-chief of the Tiot, and we chose a bevy of attractive and vivacious girls as our cheerleaders, and we formed our traffic squad. As June of 1953 drew nigh, we reviewed with pride and pleasure our two years on the Hill, and impatiently awaited what we were sure would be the best year of all.

Vl e Dominate the S choiadtic S5c cene SENIOR YEAR October of 1953 witnessed the last elections of officers for the class of 1954. Chosen to lead us in this year of years were: Dominic Fruci, president; Georgia Georges, vice-president; Sylvia Berglund, secretary; Barbara Sanborn and Francis Meissner, treasurers; Paul Eckhardt and Porta Sideropoulos, A. A. representatives. John Doyle and Paul Eckhardt led our football team through a very creditable season which culminated in a victory over Dedham at the annual Thanksgiving day game. Not only on the gridiron but in hockey, baseball, basketball and track, our teams showed the ability and sportsman- ship that are a tradition with the Blue and White. Our cheerleaders, Captain Marilyn Aspro, Beverly Cofsky, Irene Falconer, Carol Murphy, Barbara Sanborn, Porta Sideropoulos and Marcia Pelletier won our praise and approbation with their attrac- tive appearance, energetic support, and their ingenuity in devising original cheers. We selected as our class play the comedy Men are Like Street-cars. Under the pro- ficient direction of Mr. John J. Flaherty, such outstanding performers as Richard Saunders, Harriet Gullich, Judith Horgan, Donald McComb and Sylvia Berglun suc- ceeded in producing a thoroughly delight- ful program. Our second theatrical adventure was the performance of our Operetta, Harmony Hall. Mr. Fleck directed the music, Miss Gow coached the dramatics and Miss Kiley taught the dancing for this amusing and tuneful musicale. Several of our operetta [24] SENIOR YEAR (Continued) stars were: Gerald McNeil, Harriet Gul- lich, Donald McComb, Irene Falconer, Donald Tanneyhill, Irene Ostrom and Pa- tricia McCready, John Schuller and Milton Towne. As the year drew to a close, we plunged ourselves into the task of planning our Senior Prom. Our hours of toil were re- warded, for we will alway remember with nostalgia the beautiful music, lovely deco- rations and the genuine fun that marked the outstanding social event of the year. We cannot write a history of our class without including a note of thanks to Mr. Hayden, our patient and firm guide, to Miss Coughlin, our chief senior adviser, and to all the teachers who have contrib- uted to our enlightenment and enjoyment during our three years at the School on the Hill. A special word of congratulation goes to all our yearbook editors: Richard Saunders and Marlene Johnston, editors-in-chief; Mary Yelapi and Edmund Wenstrom, ad- vertising managers; Anne Thompson and Milton Towne, circulation editors; Alice Byrne and Richard Hohmann, our art editors; and to Mrs. Riley, their adviser. We also feel that Gerald McNeil deserves a special word of commendation for his outstanding job as president of the Student Council, and Miss Hubbard for her work as adviser. Now, after three years of living and learning at Norwood High, we have only a few days left in our belov ed School on the Hill. We await our forthcoming grad- uation with the pleasantest of memories, the sweet sorrow of leaving our alma mater, and the confidence to face the future. M.M.

FOODS Employer demands have increased en- rollment in the commercial foods field. All students find an outlet for their talents in the various food areas as caterers, chefs, tea room assistants, pastry cooks, bakers and restaurant helpers. TEA ROOM The niceties of tea room operation both behind the scenes and before the public eye are learned thoroughly under com- petent direction. The tea room itself is most attractive and the clientele very ap- preciative.. About 40-45 people are served each day. [60] Sbo Eu 2), v oin C J FASHIONS For the student who has selected the fashion field, many avenues of work are possible: designing, tailoring, working in private establishments or retail stores— any one of these are possible after receiving training in the fashions field. BEAUTY The career of stylist, shop operator or owner, facial specialist, or manicurist are just a few of the job opportunities possible for the beauty specialist. Those taking the state board examination have consistently maintained high standards of performance. ART Craft and creative ability are correlated in each trade through the skillful applica- tion of art and its many facets. Appreciation of commercial artistry so far as it applies to each trade is given careful consideration. The department acts as a hub in the wheel of activities by helping to blend student and classroom activities into an artistic setup.

It was a beautiful day, and games, boat rides, and a cook-out were the featured events. In October, elections presented a serious part of our program. They were held ac- cording to tradition. Posters, slogans, and speeches added to the enthusiasm of the campaigners. Parents ' Night was held in November this year, instead of in March. This en- abled parents, teachers, and students to become better acquainted earlier in the year. Our Thanksgiving dinner brought us to the end of November and turned our at- tention in the direction of Christmas. A great deal of work and interest was put into our annual Christmas Sale which was held in the form of a bazaar, in the cafe- teria. Our Christmas Program opened with a famous Christmas Opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors. The play was followed by the long-awaited banquet (a delicious tur- key dinner) served by the teachers. The White Elephant Sale took place in January, and our next project, the Prom in February, highlighted our social year. The theme of the dance was the Snow- flake and the programs, decorations, and refreshments featured the idea. In April, everyone had a barrel of fun at the jolly square dancing frolic. In June, juniors held the Step Party for us. Although we were very happy, we felt rather sad to leave our. school and the teachers who meant so much to us. Yes, our school days have left us many pleasant memories. K.Y.

Wheeler Director of Boys ' Vocational School Mechanical Drawing Achievements generally draw heavily on the past and frequently challenge the future. The boys in the vocational group of the class of 1954 will look back over the three years they have been classmates and realize that such a pattern in their development has been experienced. Probably the most noteworthy single aspect of this class is the fact that they represent the largest graduating group in the history of the vocational school. It is quite significant that on this tenth anniversary year we should have ten boys ready to take their place in the world of work as trained craftsmen. With a major portion of their final year already in the record book, prospects for the future of these vocational boys of the class of 1954 are bright indeed. C.H.W.

With high hopes and determination, we tried to live up to the excellent standards set last year. We first elected our Class Officers— President, Brian Dunn; Vice-President, Marcia Pelletier; Secretary, Marion Ostergren; Girls ' Treasurer, Joan Thomas; Boys ' Teasurer, Ronald Cieri; Girls ' A.A. Representative, Dorothy Sutherland; and Boys ' A.A. Rep- resentative, Philip Costello. Many of our boys excelled in football and helped to account for our victorious Thanksgiving Day game. Jimmy Campbell, Robert McGloin, Kenny Wor- ster and Brian Dunn starred in basketball. Richard Walker added much to our hockey team ' s fame, and our Junior star, Mike Graney, was missed greatly on the ice. On February 19, 1954 we held our annual Junior Prom which was a great success. The decora- tions, which carried out an un- usual theme depicting Paris Skies, were beautiful; the music was entrancing and our spirits were high. We ended our school year with the Reception for the Seniors and now look forward to our own year as headmen on the hill. M.P.

[71] Jhid Sophomore S aqa JellS 411 op As the pages of the past year are turned back, we recall that big day in September when we were officially inaugurated as Sophomores of the Norwood Senior High School. Filled with anxiety and excitement, we spent the first day of school in a state of great confusion; we were very often lost, trampled on. and peevishly called Little Sophies. But alter adjusting ourselves to our new faculty, the upper classmen, and a drastically short lunch period, we settled 9 l down with the anticipation of having a prosperous year. The election of our class officers: John Anderson, President; Kathleen McGuff, Vice-President; Jean Schaier, Secretary; Diane Laakso, Girls ' Treasurer; Paul But- ters, Boys ' Treasurer; Marilyn Hutchings and Gerald Armstrong, A.A. Representa- tives, proved to be our first major accomp- lishment of the year. Under the guidance of our ad- visers the dancing, entertainment and refreshments of the Soph- omore Party were enjoyed im- mensely by all who attended. The party presented the first real opportunity for a class get- together and it was a great success. Just before Christmas we pre- sented the Annual Sophomore Assembly. The program con- sisted of Bible readings, Yule- tide songs, poems of good will and a traditional Christmas story. For the remainder of the year we maintained an interest in school activities and we were very active in curricular and extra-curricular affairs. N.S.

The Annual Student Council Dance was so successful socially, and financially that the Council voted to make this a traditional theme each year, so in the future it will be known as The Autumn Frolic. Irene Falconer, Georgia Georges, and Francis Meissner were chosen as delegates to the Fall Conference of the Eastern Massachusetts Division of Student Coun- cils at Belmont. We now have our own Student Council Bulletin Board where notices and infor- mation of importance to the Council are located. As in other years, the Council has spon- sored the March of Dimes Drive and the Heart Drive Collections, and has given its support to the Assembly Drive and other school activities. One of the big projects of the year which the Council has undertaken is the Revision of the Student Handbook. The Council is grateful to Miss Mary Hubbard, faculty adviser, for the time and interest which she has devoted to the Student Council, and to Mr. Charles Hay- den, our principal, for his wholehearted cooperation, and to the Faculty and stud- ent body.

Every month the club sponsors contests the subjects of which are chosen by the officers. These include such topics as: human interest candids, Christmas card suggestions, table top designs, snow scenes, pictures of hands, and out-door and flash compositions. Miss Ryan, Mr. Learnard and Mr. Pappas are the judges of the pictures. Every club member is given a certain num- ber of credits depending upon where he finishes. At the end of the year cash awards are given to the three photographers who have the best scores. When Senior Photographs are taken by Purdy Photographers, we are allowed to use their professional equipment and thus to try our hand at formal portraiture. The club has also been fortunate enough to have Miss Page, art director of the Pea- body School, give several lectures on com- positions during the year. Many films have been viewed by the club. The films take up such subjects as develop- ing and printing technique, filters, por- traits, lenses and other topics too numerous to mention. Much has been attempted and much has been accomplished.

This year Ann Foley, a junior, has been our local correspondent. Helene Marcoux, also a junior, reports on N.H.S. activity to Terry Thomas , High School columnist of the BOSTON TRAVELER, and news and pictures appear in that paper periodically. Pictures for release to local and city papers are on occasion posed, snapped, developed and printed by members of the Norwood High School Photography Club. Edward Lane, a senior typewriting student, pre- pares the news for release to the papers. The pages of our local newspaper are the sole means of telling our school ' s story to many Norwoodites. By reporting the activities of our three classes, the Student Council, and the many other extra-curric- ular organizations, our readers are brought into touch with our school and theirs. A.F.

Jheu J eep l fa ru ( ouranl ' 9 y ep The members of the football program committee made it possible for the football fans to have human interest literature to read during the thrilling Norwood High games. The information the programs gave on the game itself would have been suffic- ient reason for their existence, let alone the enthralling tidbits and special articles. Many hours of scientific research were put into each publication. These geniuses also informed the school and town about who had the most beautiful eyes and the nicest figure , etc. in N.H.S. Although the football program business at Norwood High has never been, strictly speaking, a paying proposition, the com- mittee was rewarded by the many hilarious hours spent collecting, and sometimes con- cocting the news, and the customers have been able to follow the game intelligently while keeping up with the latest scoop on the Hill.

What more appropriate name could have been selected than The Dwight D. Eisenhower Club? The photograph of President Eisenhower and our Charter, both of which we received from Washington, have been framed, and hang in a prominent place on the walls of our newly decorated Library. Our aims are those of all F.T.A. clubs: To learn about the opportunities in teaching. To cultivate the qualities essential in a good teacher. To aid in attracting the best quali- fied young persons into the teaching profession. Our membership on January first was twenty-one. We are inviting several soph- omores each month to join us and to re- place us when we graduate. Officers of this vear ' s F.T.A. are Mary Mahoney, president; Josephine Chitty, vice-president; Nancy Bresnahan, treasurer; Harriet Gullich, sec- retary; Bruce Rouillard, librarian; Robert Smith, historian; Helene Marcoux, parli- amentarian. Meetings have been held semi- monthly. Dues are $.50 a year. Our activities this year have been varied and interesting: Discussions have been held on legislation pertaining to Education, and we have written letters to our representatives re- garding proposed legislation. Seniors have observed and worked on the various levels in the Elementary Schools. Some members have learned to keep registers and have prepared monthly and yearly reports unaided. We have attended conventions and con- tributed to programs of groups interested in the recruitment of teachers. We are grateful to the Norwood Public Library for the purchase of books espec- ially for our use. M.M.

The duty of this group is to supervise all school elections. Responsibility for effic- ient and honest elections rests entirely with members of the Election Commission. This board sets election dates, receives nomina- tions, over-sees balloting, counts all votes which may have been cast and publishes the results of all elections. The Election Commission is closely affil- iated with the Student Council. Election Commissioners are chosen by the Council and the Student Council officers assist the commission when help is needed. Any member of the commission who is a candidate for office absents himself from its activities until that election has been decided. The chairman is the senior who has served the longest term on the board. Members of this year ' s Election Commis- sion are: Mary Mahoney, Chairman; Marilyn As- pro, John Doyle, Mary Anne Willard, Ronald Cieri, Sheila McGuff, Marcia Pel- letier, Helene Marcoux, Barbara Pierce, and John Anderson.

These pro- grams, which are equivalent to a class per- iod in length, are previewed and approved by the Assembly Committee. A very successful year began with a rally at which our attractive and talented cheer leaders showed their ability to arouse en- thusiasm. Following this, we had such personalities as the enjoyable Mr. Ken Wheeler, who spoke about television, Bud Thompson, the colorful singing trouba- dour, the Marionettes, and Gordon Hyatt, the magician. There was also the annual Senior Play Preview, the Bob Clayton Record Hop, Mr. James Butler ' s Review of the News , the traditional Sophomore Christmas Pageant, and the Norwood High School Talent Scout Show. One memorable assembly featured the appearance of Mr. John Wheelock and Mr. G. Roy Walsh, Norwood High graduates of 1913 and the composers of our school song. The song is sung at the close of each assembly and is followed by the National Anthem. There are representatives from each class on the assembly committee.

We J urdue the C luslve j iaSnin Norwood opened the season by conquer- ing a hopeful Needham, 6 to 0, after two years of defeat at their hands. Dom Fruci scatted by the opposing defense for the sole score. Needham had us on our knees and was in scoring position, but our tough defense under Co-Captain Paul Eckhardt held fast. Belmont visited Norwood to receive a shellacking . Junior Class President Brian Dunn scored twice, Dom Fruci broke through again, and Boogs Connolly snared a pass from Co-Captain Bozo Doyle, and Hutch Ristom kicked one extra point. Arthur White broke through the Belmont offense to give us a safety and we had a total score of 27 to 0. Milton arrived in our home territory to give us our third straight victory, 12 to 6, with Tom Mackie and Boogs Connolly scoring. We next came out on the bottom of a touch-and-go game with Braintree, 20 to 14. Bozo Doyle, at the helm, passed to Gerry McNeil and handed off to Brian Dunn to supply our goals. Ristom kicked the two conversions. Against Wellesley, we returned to the win column by subduing them 13 to 6. Bozo Doyle starred again as he passed to Connolly for one tally, and sneaked over the goal line for number two. After a game cancelled with Reading because of bad weather, we travelled to Natick and were promptly walloped to the tune of 39 to 7. Costello scored our only touchdown on a guard-around play, and Ristom converted. We were in excellent condition for Ded- ham on a cool and clear Thankgiving morn. Once rolling , we couldn ' t be stopped, and snowplowed Dedham 27 to 2. Connolly, Fruci, Renzi, and McNeil all scored and Ristom kicked three extra points with his golden toe, giving us a fine end to a fine season. P-A.J.

Jhe (J- ail Went iKound and resound Bunker and Cieri, stars of last year ' s team, were gone— who did we have to take their places? The spectacular double-over- time game with Needham removed any doubt from our minds— Packy Lydon and Bozo Doyle. A great addition to the team was the perky consolidator from the Junior Class, Baldy McGloin. The season was marked by more spirit and enthusiasm and better turnouts than last year. Our altitudinous Richard Saum Saum- siegle, tallest man in the league, sparked the team as high scorer with 23 points to the greatest victory of the year, 83-60, over our losing rivals from Dedham. This great game, which put us a little closer to going to the Tech Tournament, ended our season with a record of 9 wins and 5 losses. Although we missed out on the Tech Tournament, we sent Baldy, ' ' Packy, Saum, and Bozo to play for the All- Stars. Saumsiegle was the high scorer in his game. Thus ended the Seniors ' basket- ball years at Norwood High. R.L.S. ' 54 [112J t p The Other Teams Prettier Rear: King, Hertel, Freda, Stitt, Paine. Front: McComb, Weisul (captain), Hunt.

Nevertheless, our boys valiantly fought on and slowly crept up on our opponents, so that the final score, a loss of 12 to 9, was at least a respectable showing. In the Walpole game which followed, Snuffy Bowles held our opponents blank for five innings. When relieved by Brissette, who was followed by Boogs Connolly, Walpole got in some runs, but largely due to the hitting of Dom Renzi, we emerged as victors with a close score of 8-7. Bob Brissette pitched his first full game against Milton and won 7-4. McGloin ' s home run was a feature of this game. Against Framingham we had a field day. Everybody shared in the hits, and Snuffy fanned twenty-three men to win a 14-1 out and out victory. Needham, however, jaroved to be a horse of another color, and upset our apple-cart 8-6 in a game which we had been hopeful, if not confident, of winning. As this book goes to press, we are less than half-way through our schedule, and Co-captain John Bozo Doyle leads the team with a batting average of over .400. The playing of the Junior triumvirate, Graney, McGloin, and Renzi has been out- standing. Co-captain Bowles, assisted by capable catcher McColgan, has been a tower of strength. With their constantly improving playing, and if not deserted by that elusive Lady Luck, Norwood High School should place high in the Bay State League this year. P.A.J.
