Norwood High School - Tiot Yearbook (Norwood, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 204 of the 1957 volume:

foreword In choosing a circus theme for our yearbook, it was not our intention to convey the meaning that our three years under the Big Top at Norwood High School were spent in unalloyed fun and games. As in the circus, there was sawdust as well as spangles, hard work as well as high times. But as Getaway Day draws near, we realize more poignantly than ever how many things went on during our years here, which will always delight and fascinate us, as we recall the glittering pageant of our three-ring circus. We hope you all have as much fun reading our book as we had producing it. iiiiiw mill senior high school norwood, liuissacluisutts the senior class presents with pride the tint for 1957 NORWOOD HIGH S DKOOL LIBRARY Nichol c ■ ■ - :■ NsNrod, MA CJ 2 j roAuQ o .J CONTENTS M BT-VW 5 ? .VJVU--- U5_VM c s sovNq-- - sa.-w I u dedication TD JOEY To circus people any clown is and long has been a Joey. In labeling him thus they are honoring the first great modern clown, Joseph Grimaldi. In dedicating our yearbook to Joey, we are honoring those myriad person- nages embodying comedy and decked in outrageous gear, who have from time immemorial served to gladden the hearts of the young and the young in heart. Our own myth- ical Joey represents all the people, students and faculty alike, who have added fun and humor to our three years under The Big Top. I 5 | school officials SUPERINTENDENT LINCOLN D.

RING DNE - OUR SDPHDMDRE YEAR When, at last, after years of anticipa- tion, we climbed to the school on the hill in September of 1954, our gradua- tion seemed very distant to us. But our three years at N. H. S. have sped swiftly by, and we have established an excep- tional reputation and have had many memorable experiences under The Big- Top. Yes, our three years on the hill have truly been a circus. In October came our first big endeavor — the election of those who would manage our first year in the sawdust ring. We were very proud of our able group: Thomas Connolly, President; Evelyn An- gus, Vice-President ; Joan Butters, Secre- tary ; Lois King, Girls ' Treasurer; Robert Padden, Boys ' Treasurer; Leslie Novick, Girls ' A. A. Representative; and Neil Fitzgibbons, Boys ' A. A. Representative. On October ' 29th we held our opening night , the Sophomore Party, at which everyone had a wonderful time. Contribut- ing to the success of the evening was the music of Matthew Ross, Eleanor Lorusso, and Francis Nado. In December, we presented the annual Christmas attraction, an assembly, which was entitled Yule-Tide in Many Lands. This consisted of Bible readings, songs, and tales of Christmas in various lands. Not wishing to be outdone by those already in the second and third ring, we proved we were worthy of praise in the field of athletics, where such rugged roustabouts as Shannon, Kuperatz, Wall, and Cloherty were outstanding. To represent us on the cheering squad for the following year, we chose the very capable Leslie Novick. All too soon, the spotlight left the first ring of our circus and journeyed over to the second, which we were eagerly anticipating. [ 20 | our class officers as juniors Hartford, Collins, Gulla, Foley, Butters, Peckham, Novick nur three ring circus at n.li.s. RING TWO - DUH JUNIOR YEAR With intense determination to have a successful year in the second ring, we im- mediately chose those who were to guide us through. Our leaders in kicking the sawdust were Peter Foley, President; Leslie Novick, Vice-President ; Joan But- ters, Secretary ; Dolores Peckham, Girls ' Treasurer ; Richard Gulla, Boys ' Trea- surer ; Marsha Hartford, Girls ' A. A. Representative; and Dennis Collins, Boys ' A. A. Representative. The spirited Class of ' 57 cheered lustily for their up-and-coming athletes ; in football, our hefties were Wenstrom, Pillsburv, Shannon, Glebus, and Car- chedi ; in basketball, Kuperatz and Ma- guire; in baseball, Wall, Cloherty, Car- chedi, Glebus, McCarthy, McLellan, Shannon, and Kuperatz ; and in hockej ' , Wall, Connolly, Arvidson, and All-Star Valentinas. We were mighty proud of them all. On April 6, the feature event of the second ring, our Junior Prom, was greeted with riot panic , circus talk for great applause. The gym was beautifully decorated with streamers, castles, and blue stars in accordance with our theme song Blue Star. The music was dreamy, the gowns lovely, and the atmosphere ro- mantic. In June, Dennis Collins was awarded the Harvard Book, which is given to the most outstanding boy in the Junior Class. Peter Foley, Roger Maguire, and John Cooke were chosen to represent Norwood High at Boys ' State. Just, before the spotlight faded from the second ring, we gave a Class Day Reception to the graduating Seniors. Though we were sad to see them leave, we looked forward to the third ring of our circus, where we would become the main attractions at N. H. S.

Our year of years ! Oh, how we had longed for the day when we might call ourselves Seniors and excel records of previous years. Upon our return to school, we were very happy to meet Jorunn Knap, our foreign exchange student from Norway. We learned to love her immediately, and have enjoyed her vibrant personality and charming ways. We entrusted the functioning of our third ring to the competent hands of Thomas Connolly, President ; Jack Mac- Lellan, Vice-President; Joan Butters, Secretary ; Dolores Peckham and Richard Gulla, Treasurers ; Carolyn Miller and Richard Cofsky, A. A. Representatives. We were very proud of our spirited football team, under the leadership of Robert Pillsbury, Charles Shannon, and William Wenstrom. Our greatest victory was that over Dedham on Thanksgiving Day, which we won 28-13. Our cheerleaders Leslie Novick, captain ; Joan Butters, Nancy Cass, Lorraine Elias, Carolyn Miller, Dolores Peckham, and Junior, Arlene Connolly are to be congratulated for the fine spirit they displayed. On November 30, 195(5, we presented our Class Play Seventeenth Summer , where Joy Ellen Gottlieb, Maureen Burke, and William Bowler displayed their ex- ceptional acting ability. Others deserving credit are John Ahearn, Elizabeth Burke, [24] Dianne Diettrich, Mary Dundulis, Bruce Hoeg, Donald Laakso, Linda Lutes, Beverly Rock, Anthony Torres, and Reeven Ziskind. We are sure it was one of the best plays ever presented at N.H.S. and we wish to thank Mr. Flaherty for his wonderful direction. Captain Minty Kuperatz brought us through a fine basketball season again this year. He upheld the Norwood tradi- tion faithfully by being high scorer of the Bay State All-Stars. Our hockey team, captained by Thomas Connolly and Henry Valentinas, captured the coveted Bay State Championship. Be- ing the first of our teams to accomplish this, the Class of ' 57 will go down in hockey history. We also proudly proclaim Dave Arvidson, Tom Connolly, Jackie Taylor, Henry Valentinas, and Pete Wall, who were chosen for the All-Star team . Our class showed its ingenuity in pro- ducing Then and Now , a musical revue, on April 26. It was a huge success and up to our high standards. The Boys ' Glee Club and the Hi-Fi ' s, under Mr. Faucett ' s direction, added much to enter- tainment. All those who participated de- serve much credit, particularly Mr. Fla- herty, who so admirably directed it. The baseball stars of our class — Car- chedi, captain; Cloherty, MacLellan, Mc- Carthy, Murphy and Wall added to our laurels with a successful season. At last, on May 17, came that long- yearned-for Senior Prom, which was Al- most Paradise , and the Prom which sur- passed all others. The orchestra, decora- tions, and pretty gowns all contributed to its huge success. The night will long live in the memories of all. As in all circuses, we had our share of clowns and clowning, our moments of high delight and deep despair, but all in all, they were three wonderful years. We wish to thank our ringmaster, Mr. Hayden ; our head advisor, Mr. Kenefick ; and all other trainers for their patience in teaching us. A special round of applause goes to Thomas Connolly, our Class President, and Richard Griffin, our Student Council President, who functioned under the gui- dance of Miss Hubbard. To John Mc- Donagh and Virginia Kent, the other yearbook editors, and to Mrs. Riley, the advisor, go our thanks for the wonderful book turned out this year. Today, Class Day, will be followed by our banquet and graduation itself; then we are to leave our three ring circus, to take our places in the adult world, which we hope we can fill faithfully and honor- ably, in keeping with the high traditions of our Alma Mater.

Vocational Education is the type of education whose primary purpose is to train young men for profitable employ- ment in the trades. The specific trade taught in our school is Cabinet making. Boys over 14 years of age who desire to train for this vocation are eligible for registration. Our vocational school is well equipped with the machinery actually used in the occupation for which the boys are being prepared. Tools, methods, and standards are those of present day industry. The training emphasis is on real, productive work of commercial value. By the time a student finishes his course, he will have acquired manipulative skill together with the ncccssarv technical ability. Learning in the shop is supplemented with periods of instruction in academic subjects, related as much as possible to the specific trade problems. The students are assured of an excellent training under skilled craftsmen and competent teachers who have had many years of practical experience. Students satisfying the re- quirements in both trade and academic subjects are awarded a high school diploma. C.H.W. Mr. Clifford H.

These students were to form the nucleus of the class of ' 57. Elected as homeroom representatives were Cynthia Savage and Judy Watts. Orientation began with a super get-acquainted picnic which was held at Rocky Woods early in September. Activities which quickly enrolled every- one ' s talents included the Annual Christ- mas Sale, the White Elephant Sale, and, in January, the boys sponsored a never- to-be-forgotten skating party at Rocky AVoods Reservation. In June, the Seven Sophomore Hits put on a successful farewell party for the seniors. And then — we were Juniors ! Parents ' Night and A Date with the Professor, we will always remember, when Judy as Minna, Franny as Kate, Evy as Estelle, Anita as Bea, Carolyn as Mrs. McCord, Nancy Beckwith as Becky, and Lorraine as THE VOICE, entertained our parents like real troupers. We helped to sponsor a Christmas Sale, the Cinderella Ball, and took an active part in the June Step Party. Evy, Anita, Margaret, Nancy Tincker, Pat, Phil, and Judj ' all had a share in giving the seniors a wonderful send-off. September, 1956, we added additional members to our group so that we num- bered thirty-six strong ! We elected Franny Palsic as homeroom representa- tive. As seniors we were given an op- portunity to select the head of the Stu- dent Co-operative Association, and Evelyn Angus was appointed president. With the help of Pat Cronin as treasurer, and Mary Lou Packard as secretary, we helped to get the student activities pro- gram under way. The first event in which we participated was our Annual Picnic at Rocky Woods Reservation and the seniors who had joined our group and felt green were old comrades after the event. The Hallowe ' en Party was a rolicking success. Parents ' Night, Thanksgiving luncheon, the Christmas Sale, the Christ- mas luncheon and pageant all followed in such quick succession that it was time for our Christmas holidays before we realized it. April was an important month, not only because of our last Prom, but because we were welcomed into the Alumnae Associa- tion. This made us know that our days were numbered until graduation. Then came our Step Party, Class Day, Graduation, and final good-byes. And now to bigger and better things ! J.W.

The night before the prom, nearly every Junior boy and girl could be found in the gym decorating for the big event which was to follow. On that snowy night of March 1st, with the gymnasium trans- formed into a beautiful tropical paradise, the Junior class held its annual prom- enade. The palm trees and pineapples, the fountain and the flowers, provided a bright and colorful atmosphere, as the couples danced to their theme song, Some Enchanted Evening. George Malacinski ' s remarkable cage, complete with a parrot, attracted much attention. There was a large turnout and a wonderful time was had by all. In June, the Juniors held a Class Day reception for the graduating seniors, with mingled feelings of sorrow and pride — sorrow to lose their senior friends, but pride that they were to be new King- pins on the Hill next year.

Michael Rizzo, our emcee, introduced our most talented classmates and their wonderful acts. The party cer- tainly lived up to all expectations. December 21, 1956 Today, we sophomores presented a suc- cessful Christmas assembly. Well-known Christmas carols were played or sung and their histories were explained. This was the last of our main affairs as sophomores, but we participated in many exciting side-shows under the Big Top. S.C.

The Executive Board was com- posed of Robert Walsh, Chairman; Vir- ginia Kent, Joan Butters, Sheila Graney, Robert Padden, Brian Drummey and Peter Sansone. On November 16,, the Student Council held its annual dance, the Autumn Frolic. The occasion was most successful, both socially and financially. Robert Walsh was chosen by the school as our representative to Good Govern- ment Day held at the State House on March 8, 1957. He was honored by being selected as a member of the Governor ' s Council for that day. The Council was happy to have Miss Jorunn Knap, our Foreign Exchange Student, as an active member of our or- ganization. One of the outstanding projects of the year which the Council initiated was the Shares In Democracy program. An assembly with five foreign exchange stu- dents participating in an interesting Panel Discussion was the kick-off for the drive. The money raised in this acti- vity is being used to sponsor American Field Service students. The Council would like to express its gratitude to all those who helped to make this project such a success. It is also most grateful to Miss Mary Hubbard for her continued interest and guidance and to our principal, Mr. Charles Hayden, for his whole-hearted cooperation. N.N.

This year we have a membership of 35, all of whom have served on one or more committees. We meet twice a month and open each meet- ing by repeating the Teacher ' s Pledge. Membership is by invitation. This year, for the first time, we have formal printed invitations which bear the seal of FTA. We have attended several teachers con- ferences as well as a number of meetings of FTA groups. On February second we were represented by Charles Shannon, Kevin Dixon, Miss Gow (our sponsor) and Elizabeth Bainton at the Public Re- lations-Citizenship Conference and Cele- brity Luncheon at the Sheraton Plaza. On February 13 we were hosts to pupils from neighboring high schools. The pur- pose of this meeting was to encourage the forming of FTA clubs in schools where the} ' had not previously existed. Virginia Kent, our exchange student of last summer, showed slides and told of her experiences while living and going to school in German} ' . Refreshments were served. This meeting was sponsored by Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. Induction of new members is held each spring. We were very much pleased when the Parent Teacher Association of the Senior High School requested this func- tion to be held as a part of their spring meeting. Recognition of and interest in our club by members of the School Com- mittee, the Press, and the general public is a stimulus to even greater activity on our part. E.B. ' 57 [ 93 what cheer,dear.

Row II: Kent, Graney, O ' Leary, Pierce, Newman. the election commission has serious ohligations The Election Commission consists of ten responsible students who are selected from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes by the Student Council. Officers of the Council work with the commission when help is needed. The function of this group is to super- vise all school elections, and to assume responsibility for efficient and honest elections. The Commission sets the dates, receives nominations, supervises the bal- loting and counting of all votes which have been cast, and publishes the results of all elections on the bulletin boards. Any member of the Election Commis- sion who is a candidate for an office ab- sents himself from its activities until that election has been decided. The Chairman is the Senior member who has served the longest term on the board. This year the chairman was Robert Walsh. The Commission would like to express its gratitude to Miss Mary Hubbard, faculty adviser, for her guidance and in- terest in the Commission, to Mr. Charles Hayden, for his co-operation ; and to all those who were concerned in any way with the duties of this board.

The duties of the committee were to select and present the assemblies through- out the year. Among these assemblies were programs by professional artists as well as those organized by the students. Two of the most successful assemblies this year were a series of imitations by George Groman ; and a musical program by Daphne Hellman, a very talented harpist, and her assistant on the base viol, Tony Stutz. The Sophomores put on an excellent Christmas Pageant at the holiday as- sembly. Mr. Faucett, who is new this year in our music department, contributed much to the success of this effort. An- other student assembly which was out- standing was our Foreign Exchange Stu- dent Program. Students, now residing in the surrounding communities, but origin- ally from Sweden, Belgium, France, and Japan were present and took part. This assembly was most interesting to all. The Seniors furnished two excellent dramatic assemblies by giving us an ad- vance showing of certain parts of their Senior Play and their Spring Musical Revue. R.P. ' 58 [ 99 hilltop highlighters tell the world Frances Hurley, Bruce Hoeg, Georgianna Sweeney the whole truth and nothing hut the truth The Norwood High School reporters, known as Hilltop Highlighters , are stu- dents who act as school correspondents for our two community newspapers. Our fledgling journalists prepare the news of The School on the Hill for publication on a weekly basis. Those students who are interested in journalism as a career are thereby afforded an opportunity for training and practice in reportorial writ- ing, and are also able to interpret their school to the community through the pages of the local press. The prepared and edited news copy is typed by senior business students as a regular classroom exercise in tj ' pewriting. This year Frances Hurley and Lois LaCivita are concerned with the editorial aspect of this activity, while Bruce Hoeg, Jean Iodice and Judith McNally typed the manuscript for delivery to the editor ' s desk. The news is published weekly in both the Norwood Messenger and the Norwood Tribune. B.H.

These gentlemen be- longed to our flourishing Photography Club, which, under the able leadership of Mr. John A. Sullivan, explores each year many facets of the hobby which brings together art and science. A major part of the program for the club this year was the monthly contest. Each month, members had an opportunity to compete with their fellow club members in contests which measured their photo- graphic skill and artistic ability. For the sake of variety and wide-spread experi- ence, these contests were held on a differ- ent subject each month. The winning photos were seen by all, on the bulletin board outside the main office. Another part of the program was the taking of candid shots at the Junior Prom. Some 60 shots, at $1.00 apiece, were taken, thus providing excellent experience as well as revenue for the exchequer, and also, incidentally, some fine souvenirs for the party-going Juniors. President of the Club this year was a Senior, Edward Fogg. The members were: Frank Borsa, Paul Durbin, Peter Kulsa, Vice-President ; Robert Leahy, Eric Lewin, William Paine, Peter Rakauskas, David Stonefield, William Schoppee, Treasurer; Reeven R. Ziskind, Secre- tary; John Stonefield, and Edward Kelli- her. R.Z. ' 57 102 Ml mil tlie projection club in a happy mood Standing: Groves, Robinson, Williamson.

The main reason for this is the difficulty of obtain- ing experienced operators for the pro- jection equipment. At NHS, however, no such situation holds true. Under the ex- pert direction of Mr. Everett F. Learn- ardj Science Department Head, a com- petent team of projectionists has been assembled. The members of the Projection Club all volunteered to assist in the showing of cur audio-visual aids, and during almost any period of the day one or another of the group could be seen carrying our shiny new projector through the corri- dors. William Bowler, Brian Drummey, Ro- bert Fraser, David Groves, Bruce Hoeg, Arthur Knoll, Robert Robinson, Thomas Santoro, Ronald Thompson, William Wenstrom, and Reeven Ziskind are mem- bers.

It was a source of surprise and inspira- tion that so many could be interested in forming such a group. In the Spring, when these carefully chosen male performers sang at a public performance, all the listeners were con- vinced that the two letters they sang in one of their numbers to describe the state of Oklahoma fitted them, too. Those letters were O.K. One group of 22 was selected from the Club to sing in four parts, as college groups do. The Norwood Hi-Fi ' s, as they called themselves, were featured in the Senior Review and in several concerts dur- ing the year. When 130 girls lifted their melodious voices on high, in three part music as well as in unison singing, those listening- realized something worth while had been accomplished in the all too few rehearsals from October to March. These l. ' JO girls were among the 240 that were auditioned in September and selected to form the Girls ' Glee Club. During the year while learning songs ranging from the classics to the popular, they found the experience both inspiring and satisfying, and they successfully entertained their classmates, parents, and teachers.

Who will ever for- get the skit worked around the song Canadian Sunset , when each player played several notes -alone? Afterwards, when Mr. Faucett entered the Concert Hall and conducted the down beat, all ' ' nr;d just any note simultaneously. That lost chord still hasn ' t been found. The rendition at the same assembly of Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy will long be remembered. After the October Music Assembly, the players rehearsed the very nice dance orchestra arrangement of True Love for the Senior Play. At a P.T.A. meeting in February, the parents and teachers en- joyed Friendly Persuasion and On the Street Where You Live. Other public performances during the year included the Band Family Night, the Senior Class Revue, The Chamber of Commerce Dinner, and school assemblies. In June, the Or- chestra turned to the classics and played for the Seniors as they graduated. With graduation came the end of a very suc- cessful and busy year for the Norwood Hi ' h School Orchestra.

Barrelling through one of the most exciting pigskin seasons yet seen on the hill, the iron men played swell ball all the way. The history opened on a grey note. Needham, strong and willing, downed the gridders 13-8, and the following week saw another rough game, when Framingham piled up 20 points against Norwood ' s 7. But the Blue and White bucked that trend in short order. They whopped Wel- lesley, in a really lopsided contest that saw the Blue-and-White way in front —19-0! Stoughton snagged our squad, 28-13, but the boys bounced back the following week. Another unbalanced 19-0 score made the record books. This time it was Walpole who felt the might of the NHS Scafati- men. In a really heartbreaking game, two strong teams clashed head on, when Brain- tree got a slight advantage, edging Nor- wood 7-6. However, there was no doubt about the valor of both organizations. Came the next Saturday, however, and our gridders buckled under the steamroll- ing Natick squad. All tied up, they were downed by powerful Natick, to the tune of 49-19. Smarting under the sting of that one, the Hilltoppers finished the season in top form. Milton bit the dust 19-12, and Ded- ham shortly met the same fate. These traditional rivals of NHS fell for the sixth straight time, as a score of 28-13 marked what was probably the high spot of the season. R.Z.

Before enthusiastic crowds our team enjoyed its most success- ful year, compiling an enviable record of 7-1-2. With the outstanding playing of Pete Wall, Hank Valentinas, Jack Taylor, and the best co-operation of the rest of the squad, we set off on a bright horizon by beating B.C. High 4-2, for our first en- gagement. With an outstanding game by Jack Taylor, we then blanked Framing- ham 5-0. Next our ice-mentors downed Wellesley 4-1. A crushing blow was dealt us in losing Pete Wall and Hank Valentinas for the Watertown game, but our second line of Tom Moynihan, Leo Lamminen, and Artie Walker filled in, along with Dave Arvidson, to blank Watertown 4-0. Our first setback came to us in losing to Needham 4-2 in a well-fought game. Pete Wall ' s hat trick against Walpole, our arch rivals, led us on to another fine vic- tory, winning 4-1. With a fine job by Tom Connolly and Red Heino, we chalked up another shutout for Mr. Zero, Jack Taylor. In the play-offs we were again jinxed by Needham, even though we outplayed them, losing by a score of 2-0. In one of our best games, we tied B.C. High 3-3 after a grueling and beautifully played offensive game. Now came our crowning achievement, as we beat Framingham 3-1, and Needham beat B.C. High 4-3, to leave us in undisputed first place. To finish the year in fine style, five of the first team were nominated for the Bay State All-Stars ; Pete Wall, Captain Hank Valentinas, Captain Tom Connolly, Dave Arvidson, and Jack Taylor. It was a highly satisfactory season in every way. 122 | the basketball squad prayed for luck Row I: O ' Connor, Cloherty, Barron, Kuporatz, Carchedi, Maguire, K. Dixon. Row II: Curran, Sansone, Armour, McKenna, Johnson, Glebus, Barrett, P.

Though handicapped by a slow start, the Hilltoppers surged ahead in the stretch, winning seven of their last nine games. Spirits dropped when the lads lost their opener, bowing to Needham, 55-45, but they quickly revived in the following game, when Norwood crushed Walpole, 65-20. It was still touch-and-go, and on the next Tuesday, Natick surged ahead in the third quarter to down the Blue and White in a 96-82 victory. Bad things come in bunches, and a speedy Framingham squad threw our hoopsters, 54-49, and then, to the dismay of many fans, the Wellesley game was forfeited. However, luck turned in our favor when we met our traditional foes, Ded- ham. Norwood dumped these arch-rivals in a thrilling 77-73 triumph. The bad luck of the early season was forgotton, and we proceeded to tear through Milton, 73-49. Now on the winning trail, vengeance tasted sweet, as we blasted Needham, 67- 55. Following Needham came a weak Walpole team, who also bowed to the Norwood power. One of the most exciting high school basketball games ever played took place when Norwood met the Framingham Flyers. In a thrill-a-minute finish, the} r just edged us out, 60-59. But you can ' t keep a good team down, and our aggressive hoopsters really threw a surprised Wellesley for a loss, in a big 83-59 Norwood victory. Another game made history, when we faced Milton. In a marvellous overtime charge, we pulled out of the fracas to win, 55-53. R.Z.

Our determined sluggers have pursued their past nine games might and main — here ' s hoping the habit continues ! The season started off with a victory — the way a season should start. Norwood power trounced a hopeful Needham squad, 7-2. The game augured well for the com- ing season, and the omens read true. The next game, a tight contest with Natick, was also to our credit. This one was a quaker though, with the Blue-and-White just pulling out in front, 3-2. We were in a really pleasant groove by the time Wellesley came to our doors, and we continued to stay right in that groove. Norwood hitting power crackled and snapped, and to the tune of 9-2. we downed Wellesley. Then the tide turned, though briefly, to he sure. Upstart Walpole came along and temporarily upset us, 5-2. Shaken, but never for long, we climbed back onto the bandwagon, at Milton ' s expense, in a 6-5 thriller. Victory was never sweeter than when we clinched an easy win from our tradi- tional foes. The Red-and- White bowed to the Blue-and-White, in a crushing 11-3 defeat for rival Dedham. The following battle between Norwood and Needham was one of the tightest jousts ever seen in recent years. In an 11-inning game, the Norwoodites surged ahead to down Needham, 9-6. Our latest game followed the same winning pattern. Norwood doubled op- ponent Natick ' s score, grabbing an 8-4 victory. After an impressive first half, we look to even more exciting battles, and vic- tories, if such be our lot, as we face our first-half foes again, in the second round of the Battle Of The Titans.

Werci eaucou r We wish to take this opportunity to thank the sponsors and advertisers who have helped us to finance this yearbook. At the same time, we wish to suggest to our fellow classmates and to all our friends who read this book that they patronize the stores listed in our advertising section. Yearbook advertising may reach a more limited audience than newspaper advertising, but it is much more permanent and much more handsomely displayed, and it will be read through the years by all of us who cherish this souvenir of happy high school days.
