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.

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]
