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. Costello [28]
