type stage was enthusiastically recei ved by everyone and the Class of ' 55 again proved its ingenuity and originality. James Campbell and Robert McGloin were captains of our basketball team, and the latter along with James Phelan represented Nor- wood on the Cay State League All-Star Team. Our hustling hockey team, captained by Richard Walker, captured first place in the second division, setting a new record for N.H.S. hockey. Michael Graney tied for first placo as high scorer of the Bay State League and was chosen for the All-Star team with Captain Walker. On April 15th we presented The Count and The Coed , our Senior Musicale par ex- cellence. Carmelia Pungitore, Paul Charron, Florence Pulcini, John Chervokas, Lorraine Cavanaugh, Eleanor Worster, William Dono- van, John Walsh, and Daniel Chisholm were the reasons for its great success. Mr. Flaherty coached the musicale, and the scenes, music, and costumes were enchanting and delightful. May i 3th finally rolled around, an evening long anticipated by all. The gym was beauti- fully decorated, the orchestra was excellent, and everyone was happy and gay at our Senior Prom. The exciting evening of our most outstanding social event will never be forgotten. A special word of praise goes to Joseph Costello, our Student Council President, who expertly wielded the gavel under the direction of Miss Hubbard. We cannot close without a note of ap- preciation to be extended to Mr. Hayden, cur patient principal, to all our teachers, and to Miss Johngren, our head adviser, and Mrs. Riley and her staff, who have made possible the wonderful pictorial memoir of our three years at Norwood High School. At last we have reached the end of our years on The Hill . Our Class Day activities, the banquet, receiving and signing yearbooks, and graduation itself are events we will never forget. Although we will miss our friends and teachers who have become so dear to us, we feel we are ready to face the future and its challenges. M. P. ' 55 Jf the three headlights B. Dunn, J. Chervokas, J.

senior class officers Thomas, Costello, Blais, Dunn, Ostergren, Cieri, Greenlaw history - senior year Our year of years arrived at last and we were at the top. We ruled the roost, we reigned on high, we took life on the hop. Our Senior Play, our musical, our prom, and all sports, too, Were better than In other years, we know this to be true. So now my friends, life Romans old, to me do lend your ears As I , In recollection fond, fell of this best of years. At the outset of our Senior year we elected those whom we thought worthy to lead us in this important year. They were Brian Dunn, president; Arlene Blais, vice-president; Mar- ion Ostergren, secretary; Joan Thomas and Ronald Cieri, treasurers; and Harriet Green- law and Phillip Costello, A.A. representatives. Our football team, sparked by numerous athletes of our class, was a credit to the school with six victories and one defeat. Our cheerleaders Marcia Pelletier, captain, Doro- thy Sutherland, Marion Ostergren, June Com- pardy, Aurora Cordo, Harriet Greenlaw, and Emilie Sullivan energetically supported our teams and won the praise of many for their fine spirit. On January 17, 1955 another Oscar was earned by our leading lady, Helene Marcoux, when we presented the Senior Play, We Shook the Family Tree. Other members of the cast who deserve a hand of applause are John Chervokas, Joyce Maxon, Robert Hertel, Stephen Oppenheim, Robert Bowler, Patricia Fogarty and Betsy Guilderson. A new arena- [27]
