history- junior year And now our second year rolled round, and we were Juniors proud, As we returned as middlemen, wiih cheers both long and loud. Experience had taught us much, had lent us savoir faire. We joined in every sport and club; we passed up not one dare. So you may learn what strides we took, I ' ll here and now relate The saga ot our second year, which proves we were first rate. In the fall of ' 53 we chose as our Junior leaders: Brian Dunn, president; Marcia Pelle- t!er, vice-president; Marion Ostergren, secre- tary; Joan Thomas and Ronald Cieri, trea- surers; and Dorothy Sutherland and Phillip Costello, A.A. Representatives. We were off to a wonderful start for our second year in high school. The spirited Class of ' 55 cheered lustily for their up-and-coming gridiron stars, Joseph Costello, Domenic Renzi, Brian Dunn, Robert Ristom, Tommy Mackie, John Eppich and Ronald Cieri, who aided the Seniors in an- other Thanksgiving victory over Dedham. Vigorously we supported the basketball, hoc- key and baseball teams as our classmates established their worth as athletes. On February 19th, under the guidance of our able head adviser, Mr. Learnard, our gym was transformed from girders and bas- ketball hoops to a French cafe ' and night club scene, for which our theme song was Under Paris Skies . The decorations, orchestra and our inimitable class spirit made the Junior Prom one of the most beautiful and memor- able ever held on the Hill. Charles McNamee was awarded the Har- vard Book, which is given to the most out- standing and deserving Junior Boy. Brian Dunn, Charles Weisul and Gary Brown were chosen to represent Norwood High at Boys ' State, while Claire Stepanowich was selected to attend Girls ' State. We were proud of them all. Come June, we planned a reception for the graduating Seniors, with whom we had shared two fun-packed years. We hated to see them leave, but we impatiently looked beyond this parting to our own year as kings at N.H.S. We were ready to ascend to the top of the ladder.
