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.

Se uo i (?fa4 tet uf OUR SENIOR YEAR— WE LINGER OVER THE LAST PAGES September 19, 1955. The day we had been waiting for. This was to be our year. We were now at the top of the ladder, we were Seniors and the V.I.Ps of Norwood High. Upon our return to school, we were surprised and pleased with the re-decorating that had been done during the summer. The soft pastels, pretty blues and greens, gave our school a new look and a lovelier interior appearance to conform with its outer beauty. After the first few chaotic weeks, we finally settled down with the anticipation of having a tremendously busy and exciting year. We again elected Coleman Foley as our President to pilot us through our last and most important year at the Hill Our other class officers were: Emily Sullivan, Vice- President; Frances Ryder, Secretary; Diana Laakso and Paul Butters, Treasurers; Marilyn Hutchings and Paul Conley, A. A. Representatives. The perseverance and never-say-die spirit of our football team were the main factors that made us so very proud of them. In the traditional Turkey Day game, the team, under the leadership of captains John Corbett and Richard Ellis, chalked up Norwood ' s fifth straight victory over Dedham by a score of 12 to 6. Our cheerleaders, Emilie Sullivan, Captain; Barbara Fruci, Marilyn Hutchings, Frances Ryder, Nancy Sansone, Marjorie Sasta- vickas, and Junior Leslie Novick deserve a big hand for the wonderful pep, energy and spirit they exhibited during the football season. November was also picture-taking time for Seniors. How can we ever forget how handsome our boys looked in their best suits and how lovely the girls were in their pretty sweaters and blouses? We presented our Class Play, Father Knows Best, on December 9th, in the Junior High Auditorium. Showers of praise fell to Nancy Kilcup, Donald Everberg, Joan Thompson, and John Anderson when the curtain came down at the end of the final act. The other cast members, Robert McLaughlan, Carole Rogan, Marcia Feeney, Bruce King, Eleanor Stitt, Meredith Marsh, Diana Laakso, and Roger McLeod rate an honorable mention for the excellent job they did in carrying out their roles. To Mr. Flaherty, we would like to express our thanks for his wonderful direction of our play. We know that it will be many a year before a play such as ours will be equaled. Captains John O ' Connor and Ralph Generazzo led our basketball team to second place in the Bay State League. Shortly after, John O ' Connor and Martin Kuperatz were selected to represent Norwood on the Bay State League All Star Team. Our hockey team, not to be outdone, had a glorious season at the Arena. We shall never forget Captains Michael Kelley and Coleman Foley and the wonderful sportmanship they displayed, or our other representatives on the All-Star Team, Paul Abely and Henry Valentinas. 27
