Foreword In September of 1959, when the Tiot staif for 1960 met for the first time, the matter of a yearbook theme was discussed at length. After several meet- ings, it was decided that since with this class we are entering a new decade, we would tie our theme to that fact. Therefore the Challenge of the Sixties is the ambitious thread around which we have endeavored to weave the fabric of our theme. Our yearbook cover bears the innnemorial symbol of challenge, the gauntlet, plus the missile which is the sign of the space age in which we live; and the dividers symbolize the acceptance of challenges down through the ages. As the first graduating class of the new decade from Norwood High School, we shall endeavor to do our part to meet the challenge of this great period in human history which has been characterized as the Soaring Sixties. In il moriam On Good Friday morning, April the fifteenth, the ichole tonn ivtts shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Mr. James J. Gormley. Beyond a doubt the most popular member of the faculty, he will be greatly missed by pupils, teachers, and townspeople in general. In his tiventy-eight years as a teacher at Norwood High School, he won a host of friends and admirers ivhose memory of him will always be of a genial, kindly gentleman with a good word for everyone.
