3nA ft reciaiion Last June, Miss Grace McGonagle, for forty-three years a member of the Norwood High School Faculty, retired from teaching. She was for many years the school treasurer and head of the Commercial Department, having come to Norwood High School directly from college. Her legion of students owe much of their success to her realistic approach to teaching, and her name will always evoke pleasant memories for thousands of graduates of Norwood High School. We extend to her our heartiest thanks and all good wishes for many happy days ahead. gr xw. emoriam xm emoriam As we accept our hard-earned diplomas in June, many of us will remember with deep regret that one of our number has gone ahead to a greater Commencement Day. Diane Murphy, a sweet and charming mem- ber of the Class of 1961, died after a long illness during our Junior year at Norwood High School. To her family we extend once more our sympathy in the loss we share with them. On the evening of Inauguration Day the faculty, students, and townspeople learned of the sudden and untimely death of Mr. D. Vin- cent Kenefick, head of the History Department. During his twenty-six years of dedicated service to the town, Mr. Kenefick helped hundreds of boys and girls to become enlight- ened citizens and by precept as well as example taught them to be better Americans.
