26 OUR CLASS OFFICERS AS JUNIORS Conley, Sastavickas, Foley, Hutchings, Laakso, Schaier, Butters OUR JUNIOR YEAR— Chapter Two of our Reminiscences. September 1954 crept in swiftly behind the fading skirts of August and it was time again to resume our High School days. To pilot us through our second important year on the Hill, we chose Coleman Foley our President; Marjorie Sastavickas, Vice-President; Jean Schaier, Secretary; Diana Laakso, Girls ' Treasurer; Paul Butters, Boys ' Treasurer; Marilyn Hutchings and Paul Conley, A.A. Representatives. In December, we received the Christmas gift of being the first class to wear the new, permanent class ring of Norwood High. We held our Junior Prom on the very rainy night of February 11th. In accordance with our theme song, Moonlight Serenade, the gym was transformed into a lovely ballroom, gaily decorated with streamers and silhouettes. The dance music, the filmy dresses, the lovely corsages, and romantic atmosphere of our Promenade made it an occasion to be long remembered and cherished by us all. Early in June, the Harvard Book was awarded to Timothy Lynch as the most out- standing boy in our class. Eleanor Stitt won the medal for excellence in History which is awarded annually to the Senior or Junior who excels in that subject. James Drurft- mey, John O ' Connor, and Richard Ellis were our capable representatives to Boys ' State. Meredith Marsh won first prize in the annual Chamber of Commerce Essay Contest. Shortly pafter the third term, the new honor-roll was posted for the first time. Those who received first honors were: Adele Antonitis, Mary Dowd, Cinda Eisnor, Ruth Flood, Elaine Johnson, Joanne Lipinsky, Timothy Lynch, Meredith Marsh, Olivia Russell, Nancy Sansone, Jean Schaier, Eleanor Stitt, Joan Thompson, Janice Young. Early in June we honored the graduating Seniors with the Class Day reception. Although there was, as always, a sad note in witnessing their departure, we never- theless happily anticipated the coming year with its many privileges and responsibili- ties. N.S. ' 56 Books are the treasured wealth of the ivorld, the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
