Norwood High School - Tiot Yearbook (Norwood, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1962 volume:

rfr The post ia s C 7 ? ? with ufc Foreword Many Americans tend to forget their debt to the past and to respect only their own immediate experiences. Like Huck Finn, they don ' t take no stock in dead people. We, however, are well aware of the importance of the past, despite the speed with which- the future seems to approach. The function of the past is to give value to the present moment. We learn not only from mistakes made yesterday, but those made hundreds of years ago. In building a better society, we can find comfort and inspiration from the pages of antiquity. Therefore, we venture forth into the world with faith and confidence, knowing full well that the past is always with us. - SJS AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF NORWOOD SENIOR HIGH: NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS Jhe L tc ass p of 1962 resents tin Jlot HOOL SUPERINTENDENT PHILIP 0.

G2f%3 ■ Dedication The class of nineteen hundred and sixty-two proudly dedicates this year ' s edition of the TIOT to Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of the President of the United States. In her role as First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy has revived a genuine interest in authentic antiques of historical value at the White House. Her television presentation, A Tour of the White House, with emphasis on the past is pro- logue to the present, underlines very well our yearbook theme, the past is always with us, and so we feel it most appropriate that she should be the recipient of the honor of our dedication.

Our Ancient History It was in September, 1959 that, as Soph- omores, the class of 1962 set out to climb the long road leading to the top of the hill. Our first step was to select capable leaders to guide us during our first year. President, John D ' Espinosa; Vice-President, Paul Karshis; Secretary, Maribeth Pender; Treasurers, Kathleen McAuliffe and Chris- tie Tragakis; and A.A. Representatives, Diane Bortolotti and Charles Maxon proved themselves worthy of the trust placed in them. In October, with the aid of our Soph- omore advisers, we organized the Soph- omore Party, our debut into N.H.S. social life. Such talented performers as Fred Purnell, Kathy Clarke, Barbara Broadbent, Jean Ferrara and the seven little girls provided the entertainment and sparked an evening of refreshments and dancing. Even as lowly sophomores many of our boys participated in varsity and J.V. sports. Paul Bender, John D ' Espinosa, Denny Mattson, Billy Davis, Bob Coughlin, John Howard, and Bob Dias proved themselves competent on the gridiron. The winter of 1959-60 unveiled great future prospects in Pete Maddocks, Bill Balutis and Paul Bender in basketball and Dave McCue, Albie Crowell, Wayne Petrovek, Richie Armour, and Marty Callaghan in hockey. These are only few among the many happy recollections and exciting events that made our Sophomore year, although an awkward and difficult one, truly a memorable one. [28] Our Moyen Age With renewed vim and vigor, the class of 1962 returned to Norwood High to face the responsibilities and the challenges of being Junior classmen. As a result of vigorous campaigns John D ' Espinosa was re-elected President with Paul Karshis as Vice-President; Maribeth Pender as Secre- tary; Kathy Tracy and Richard Pearl as Treasurers; and Diane Heylin and Paul Bender as A.A. Representatives. The accomplishments of our athletes during our second year brought much credit to the junior class. Proud were we when Pete Maddocks was among the top ten scorers in the Bay State League and when Don Meeker won the Bay State Lea- gue Discus Championship. The junior Nuggets played vital roles in the winning of the Bay State Hockey Championship. Baseball captivated the interest of Pete Maddocks, John D ' Espinosa, Ronnie La- Civita, Denny Mattson, Wayne Petrovek, and Marty Callaghan. Beverly Rodgers was chosen to represent Norwood High in Switzerland and on her return, through her talks, we were able to enjoy vicariously her many adventures in a far-off land. April 7 brought an evening we had long anticipated, that of the Junior Prom. This evening of dancing under magical skies of Lavender Blue was to the surprise of many people a wonderful and successful event. Finally, we attended Class Day to say farewell to our many senior friends. We had finally attained the privilege and respect of being called Seniors. Junior Officers - Class of 1962 Pender, Bender, Tracey, Karshis, Pearl, D ' Espinosa [29] j un ior t ' V !I PRomEim de RPRIL 7 , 1961 Senior Class Officers Heylin, Oliver, Campisano, Crowell, Pender, Coughlin, D ' Espinosa. Our Up-to-the-Minute Story September 1961 ushered in the last of our illustrious years at N.H.S. and set the stage tor forthcoming events. We started the year off by indoctrinating our sincere, warm-hearted exchange student from Turkey, Holly Sacir, to the ways of Norwood High. Then, because of his display of capable leadership, we elected John D ' Espinosa to guide us for the third consecutive year. The other offices were filled by Paul Campisano, Vice-President; Maribeth Pen- der, Secretary; Roberta Oliver and Alvin Crowell, Treasurers; Diane Heylin and Bob Coughlin, A. A. Representatives. Another of the top men in our class, Paul Karshis, our diligent and hard work- ing Student Council President, has in spite of the many changes this year, done a commendable job. Double sessions also made it very difficult for Tioteers Mary McAuliffe and Bill Callahan, chief editors; Gema Duoba, Kathy Patten, and Phil Karshis, art editors; Bev Rodgers and Paul Campisano, circulat- ion editors; Elizabeth Dempsey and John D ' Espinosa, sponsor editors; and Kathy Boulis and Chris Tragakis, advertising edi- tors. However, they should be congratul- ated on the excellent job they did. Football co-captains Paul Bender and Bob Coughlin with teammates Rick Armour, Bill Davis, John Howard, Joe Didick, John Navickas, Bob Dias, John D ' Espinosa, Brian Connolly, Mike Poirier, and Don Meeker deserve much credit for their hard work and good sportsmanship. Ardent supporters of the team were cheer- leaders Jean Ferrara, captain, Judy Folan, Maribeth Pender, Kathy Haughey, Linda Stupak, Sue Carolan, Marcelle Vinson, Anita Grinavic, and Sue Devine. On Friday evening December 8, the class of ' 62 awarded its Oscars to Jean Wilkinson, Dennis Kelter, and David Condon, for their unique performance in the play, Stag Line. Supported by an enthusiastic cast and dear old Smitty, [32] and under the competent direction of Mr. John Flaherty, this performance provided both the audience and the cast with many a laugh. This year the basketball games were accompanied by the strongest spirit in many years. Capt. Pete Maddocks ' scoring ability, backed by Bender, Balutis, and Davis, made many of the games close and thrilling. We were proud when Pete won the second spot in the Bay State League scoring records and was chosen to repre- sent Norwood on the All-Star team. On many cold, Saturday nights, the Golden Nuggets ' Dave McCue, Albie Cro- well, Wayne Petrovek, Rick Armour, Marty Callaghan, and Bill Callahan gave the fans many a thrill, especially in the well-deserved victory against rival Walpole. Albie Crowell and Wayne Petrovek added to N.H.S. ' s fame when they tied for second place in the hockey scoring standings. The final class production, Check Youi Worries, was presented in April. The com- bined efforts of Donna Johnson, Joyce Plasko, Lorraine Keleher, Louise Tonning, Arthur Rogers, Jerauld MacFarland, Fred Purnell, Joe Troilo, Dick Pearl, the senior class, and the advisers, made the production a tremendous hit. Amidst the varied spring activities we found time to root for the blue and white ' s diamondmen, Wayne Petrovek, Marty Callaghan, Bill Balutis, Pete Mad- docks, John D ' Espinosa and Denny Matt- son. Our Senior Prom on May 25, which we had anticipated for so long, had for its theme Moon River and this star-studded evening was all we had expected. The final addition to these wonderful memories is Class Day which we are now attending with mixed emotions. We want to express our sincerest thanks to Mr. Hayden, Mr. Monbouquette, Miss Ryan, our guidance teachers, class advisers, and other devoted teachers, and last but not least our parents who are sharing with us now this momentous occasion. We thank them lor guiding us through this important period and helping us to prepare ourselves for the challenging world of the future. We take with us now many fond memories which will remain in our hearts regardless of where our paths may wind. S.C.

[ 76] CALLAHAN, KARSHIS, D ' ESPINOSA Troika on the Hill These three young men held the highest positions in the Class of 1962. John D ' Espinosa, our class president, served three terms and we ' re all proud of the way he has represented us. A member of the National Honor Society, John was chosen most likely to succeed and best student by his classmates. Among his other accomplishments, he was a member of the football and baseball teams and an active participant in the Student Council. Next year he plans to attend the College of the Holy Cross and from there to enter the teaching profession. Our tall, good-looking Student Council President this year was Paul Karshis. Paul ' s interests outside of school included swim- ming and science, while in school he con- centrated most of his interest in science and math. Next year he plans to attend either Renssaleer Polytechnical Institute or Iowa State University and take up engineer- ing. The third member of this personable trio is William Callahan, the Co-editor in Chief of the yearbook. Besides his academic achievements, William was a member of the hockey and golf teams and belonged to the Student Council. Bill has his eyes set on Colby College or the College of the Holy Cross for next year. He aims to be a retired millionaire. [77] mMWHUiuvi CUR There is no royal road to learning. — Euclid RICULR Guidance Department The new Guidance Suite located opposite the main office is complete with four offices and a combination waiting room and reference library. This cluster of rooms has become famous for its cheerful atmosphere. Future plans call for an adjoining lounge where students can meet with college dele- gates, browse through vocational and edu- cational literature, and hold interviews with prospective employers. The new suite is also equipped with an energetic working force of four counselors. Last year ' s guid- ance force consisting of Mr. Donovan and Mrs. Goepner has been augmented with the appointment of Mr. Frabotta and Mrs. Paige. Mrs. Ashman is available from 8:30 to 3:30 in order to offer more complete secretarial services. The task of pointing our Norwood High scholars toward bright futures is being handled with utmost concern for the indi- vidual. The counselor-student ratio is now approximately 1 to 300. Each counselor has been assigned to a group of students which includes one-fourth of each class. In this way, the counselor-counselee relationship continues for four years. This affords the student the opportunity to obtain frequent counseling sessions and permits the coun- selor to become more fully acquainted with the student. [80] Library and Reading Program LIBRARY For the first six months of the year double sessions meant new schedules in the school library. The library was open in the morning and afternoon so that students might take advantage of the 4,500 books available during the half of the day they were not in class. Such projects as the Chamber of Com- merce essays have made it necessary to step up the work of expanding the library. Dur- ing 1961 about 1,000 new volumes were added. Last spring the library sponsored a paper back book fair at which 1,026 books were sold. Mrs. Ann Leason has joined the staff and beside her duties as secretary, helps with the processing of the many new books arriving to augment our growing library. READING DEPARTMENT The reading program at Norwood High has been developed for the purpose of promoting reading abilities necessary for success in today ' s highly competitive schools and colleges. This year we are fortunate to have two modern reading laboratories that are fully equipped with excellent materials for stu- dents at all reading levels. Because of the increased demand created by the number of students who elect the reading program, there are now two reading instructors: Mrs. McGrath and Mr. Phillips. A Study Skills and Reading Course is now required for 9th graders. Other read- ing courses are available to upper-classmen on an elective basis. [81] English Department The English department offers a variety of courses in the art of using our language in reading, writing and speaking. English is necessary as a basic skill for any career the student may choose. Grammar is taught as the base for correct written and oral expression, but a knowl- edge of literature is the core of all English studies. Norwood High School uses a vari- ety of texts to explore the short story, novel, play, essay and other literary forms. A survey of American and English literary development is carried on through the Junior and Senior years to give the student a better understanding of the English classics. Several times during the year, students are given the opportunity to consult pri- vately with their English teachers about their written work. These conferences enable teachers to correct any individual problems the student has in writing. A special feature in the English depart- ment is the several excursions to Boston theatres to see stage plays. In this way, interested students are given the opportun- ity to see worth-while plays at a nominal price. © [82] Foreign Language Department This year more courses are offered in foreign languages than ever before. Because of the increased number of classes, many new teachers have joined the department. For the first time we have a French IV and a Spanish III class. Although these classes are small they indicate a new interest in the cultures of foreign countries. Other courses include Latin I, II, III and IV; French I, II and III; and Spanish I and II. This year 9th graders had the opport- unity to elect Spanish I, so that in a few years Spanish IV will also be available. This year for the first time a Spanish Club was organized, under the guidance of Mrs. Perez. The club ' s activities give the members an opportunity to broaden their understanding of Hispano-American cul- ture. After the opening of the new building, a 30 station modern language laboratory will eventually be available. Here students will have special opportunities to improve their pronunciation and comprehension of oral foreign language, and teachers will be able to give students more individual work. The Foreign Language movement is definitely on the march in Norwood and ensuing years will see us taking great strides toward a more comprehensive program. IBP 5J [83] Mathematics Department In September, classes in Modern Math- ematics were begun in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. Modern Mathematics dif- fers from traditional mathematics in con- tent, approach, and emphasis. The content is considerably extended, the approach is more abstract and sophisticated, and topics such as functions and inequalities, which in the past were given more attention, are examined more critically. Transitional mathematics, as the name implies, is a more cautious approach to bolder concepts. Courses in both modern and traditional mathematics are efforts to improve the old; neither remotely suggests any abandon- ment of all that is good in traditional math- ematics. For a period to come, in order to provide for all, the three approaches will be necessary but it is probable that on all levels the impact of the newer mathematics will continually increase. Math. IV includes about half a year of what until recently was considered college mathematics. The accelerated group, which begins algebra in the eighth grade, will normally complete Math. IV by the end of the junior year and will have beyond this a full year of college mathematics in the senior year. © [84] Science Department Four science courses are presently offered to students. General Science for freshmen includes an introduction to upperclass studies. Biology for sophomores offers a study of Zoology, Botany and Human Biol- ogy. The honors-track course uses a college text. Chemistry is now taught using ideas from the Chemical Bond Approach. The Physics course offered to seniors was de- veloped by the Physical Science Study Com- mittee. Applied Chemistry and Physics place emphasis on the practical application of these sciences to everyday life. With the opening of the new building, will come an entirely new Science Depart- ment. It will include three biology rooms, three chemistry rooms and two physics rooms. Special rooms are: an advanced research laboratory, several darkrooms, an animal room and a growing room. The physics and chemistry laboratories will have electrical outlets so that students may do experiments involving electricity. All these new improvements have been made to advance the student ' s interest in science. In today ' s age of the atom, science is becoming a greater factor in world affairs. The new Norwood High science depart- ment is a recognition of this fact. [85] History Department As the record of the past, history touches on all aspects of human activity. Norwood High ' s History program is designed to develop well-informed citizens by acquaint- ing them with the past, present and future. The courses offered are varied. Ancient History gives the student a basic under- standing of the growth of civilization. It stresses a study of the empires of Egypt, Greece and Rome. World History covers civilization from Biblical times to the pre- sent. American History shows the growth of our country in economic, political and cultural events. Consumer Economics is the study of world finances. Modern Prob- lems examines current events and modern societies. The History Department is experiment- ing with team teaching this year. Each of three social studies teachers becomes well informed in one area of the courses he is teaching. For the first three terms, the teachers follow a plan of rotation whereby the students receive extra instruction in various areas. The fourth term, teachers return to their original classes. If this pro- gram proves successful it will be continued next year. © [86] Business Department lilil ' Norwood High offers a variety of courses for business-minded students. The Business Department is on a full time basis this year for the first time. Previously many courses were held at the Peabody School. Included are General Business Training, Economic Geography, Typewriting, Filing, Business Arithmetic, Shorthand, Business Law, Bookkeeping, Transcription and, in co- operation with the Henry O. Peabody School, Business Machines. The work accomplished by our business students opens the door to many interest- ing careers as secretaries, stenographers, file clerks, machine operators, typists, and general office clerks. Although most of these courses are de- signed for the vocationally-minded student, others, such as typewriting, are necessary for most students who are planning higher education. Many young people are not well acquainted with the financial structure of business, tax problems and the number of opportunities available in business and management. A well-rounded education should include knowledge of the rudiments of business since the prosperity of our coun- try depends on the prosperity of business. [87] Music and Art Departments MUSIC DEPARTMENT Future plans for the music department at Norwood High School are bright indeed at this time. In the fall of 1962 a spacious stage and beautiful auditorium will be available for various musicale activities and rehearsals. Musical shows, choral concerts, and band concerts will be presented in an atmosphere conducive to real cultural en- richment. Music classes will be resumed in the new music room, located directly in back of the new auditorium. Choral groups will be reorganized and the band will be enlarged. ART DEPARTMENT The Norwood High Art Department has expanded this year. The new wing con- tains two art rooms equipped with modern materials including a large kiln for ceramic work projects. Students have the opportunity to work with many different art forms. Projects include the use of tempera and oil paints, ceramics, block prints and other media. Emphasis is put on creativity and original- ity and students learn many different draw- ing and printing techniques. Students also learn to appreciate great art and to recog- nize the work of such painters as Renoir, Van Gogh and Matisse. [88] Home Economics and Industrial Arts HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department has added facilities this year in the new wing. The Foods Course consists of the funda- mental techniques of meal planning, nutri- tion and child care. In Clothing, emphasis is placed on construction and fashion. The course includes Home Management, In- terior Design and Textiles. Junior girls are required to take Youth Problems, primarily an orientation class. Senior girls interested in nursing may take a minor course in Nutrition, Disease and Family Problems. © INDUSTRIAL ARTS Besides the courses previously offered in Mechanical Drawing, the Industrial Arts Department will have facilities in the new building for several more courses. General Woodworking will provide experience for students in the use of handworking tools and, in the advanced program, of power machines. General metal works will teach the fundamentals of the machinist trade by use of modern tools and power operated machines. Electronics will give an intro- duction to the theory of the electronic industry and will progress to a more in- tensive study of testing equipment and its use.

Peabody School for Girls is unique in the field of career training. In the words of its chief benefactor for whom the school is named, It is so established and endowed as to furnish the best pos- sible instruction and advantage to the girls attending it — at the least possible expense to the scholars. Its endowment enables it to offer the highest professional standards of intensive training for careers to meet the individual needs of each girl enrolled. It is tuition-free because it is also supported by local and federal funds, under the super- vision of the Norwood School Committee. Mr. Peabody ' s will also specified that the purpose of the school is to teach the vari- ous branches of art, science, and industry best calculated to enable the scholars to acquire an independent livelihood. It is almost a modern miracle that Henry O. Peabody, at the time of his death in 1903, could have had any way of knowing the important part that women were to play in day-to-day living a half-century later. The five main courses of study leading to careers are: Beauty Culture Food Service Business Fashion and Apparel Trades Practical Nursing The school enrollment has increased in the twenty years of its existence, and pro- grams of study have been added to its cur- riculum, according to community needs. Since some of the programs are in fields in which many jobs are available for young men, the school enrolls a few boys who show evidence of sincere interest and aptitude. AT PEABODY Senior students completing the course of studies receive the Norwood High School diploma and the Henry O. Peabody School certificate. The latter is earned after six months ' successful employment in the field of training. The school has earned an enviable place- ment record in the trades and in business. There exists an active Alumnae Association of graduates who have been helped through training and education to find happiness and success in many fields of endeavor. Attention is called specifically to the change in the admissions policy in the Business Department. Beginning in Sep- tember, 1962, the Business Department will enroll only high school graduates in each of the major fields of training. The Department offers the following pro- grams of study: an Accelerated Stenogra- phic course for college preparatory students entering the business education area for the first time, an Advanced Stenographic course or a Business Machines program for business students, and a Clerical-Machines course for students who need to develop typewriting skill before entering the Mach- ines major. Upon successful completion of these one- year courses, the graduate will receive a diploma from the School and will be recom- mended for placement. Practical Nursing, the latest course added to our curriculum, will be the initial course in a series of health service programs. This course is offered to post high school stu- dents only, and it consists of five months ' training at the school and ten months ' affiliation with the Norwood Hospital.

[96] Peabody Reminisces We look back with fondness upon these events which have meant so much to us. Our first affair was held in September at Rocky Woods Reservation in Medfield. Here, at our picnic, we had an opportunity to get acquainted with the eleven new members of our group, and to renew old acquaintances. The main features of the day were sack races, a pie-eating contest, and a three-legged race. Bill MacDonald, Joe Mahoney, and Wade Mackie made a trio we ' ll never forget. The Student Co-operative election in October saw three seniors— Bill MacDonald, Theresa Pitaro, and Janet Grzybowski— elected to the Student Co-operative Board. October provided an opportunity to celebrate United Nations Day. At a special luncheon, flags representing all nations decked the tables and we enjoyed tasty international recipes. In November, each student had a chance to acquaint his parents with his teachers. Our seniors were well represented at this Parents ' Night. Thanksgiving, with its tra- ditional luncheon and seconds, was enjoyed by all! December was a festive month. The true spirit of Christmas has always been the theme that was stressed. Our pageant and Operation Santa Claus seemed to em- phasize this meaning more than ever before. The May Promenade was our next big event. Once this was over, each passing day brought us closer to that all-important goal— graduation. Our Step Party was an event we shall long remember. The presentation of our scrolls and corsages made us realize that the last milestone in our secondary educa- tion had been reached. We certainly have many golden memories to make us remem- ber our last wonderful year. MAUREEN PAYNE [97] Nurses ' Graduating Group Row I: Burr, Cimeno, Costello, Johnson, S impson, Mcintosh.

The tuition-free course is fifteen months in length — five months spent at the school, and ten months affiliation with the Norwood Hospital. This program is a pioneer in providing a more integrated clinical experience, and has the potential to be one of the best in the Commonwealth. Women between the ages of 17.6 and 50 years who are United State citizens, and live within a reasonable commuting distance may be considered for the program.

Round and Round We Went Proud of our newly-acquired status as Juniors, the class of 1963 returned to make its mark at Norwood High. Our second year on the hill was characterized by an over-abundance of transition and confusion because of the delayed completion of our new addition. In a few months, we became expert at interpreting the hieroglyphics of X periods, D-4 segments and 6-lane traffic jams. In this and other respects, our motto might well have been never a dull moment. Our popular class President, Channing Souther, remained at the head of his fellow officers: Peter Antonitis, Vice-President; Barbara Cronin, Secretary; Anita Grinavic and Chris Donahue, Treasurers; Patty Viles and Geoffry Fanning, A.A. Represen- tatives. The members of the class of ' 63 remained loyal and spirited sports enthusiasts, a fact proven by our unfaltering attendance at games and our contributions to the teams. After two years of hard service, the boys chosen as varsity football captains were Jeff Fanning and Chan Souther. Dana Maus, for his never say die Nuggets hustling, was elected hockey captain. Bob Adams, Dave Tracey, and Chris Donahue formed the front line of hoop-men, and Beano Carrabino demonstrated varied athletic skills, not only in football and baseball, but also in the newly-organized gymnastic club. Anita Grinavic, Marcel Vinson, and Susan Devine were the Junior members of the cheering squad. After months of work and planning, the May evening of our Junior Prom finally arrived. Everyone spent a memorable time in the oriental setting of Mahari. Our last official act as Juniors was the management of Class Day. Bidding fond farewells to the upperclassmen, we eagerly anticipated our assent to the throne. [104] DONNA DALEY Sophomore Class Officers Abdallah, Bazzy, Hunnewell, Donahue, Cox, Anderson, Jank. We Were The Older Newcomers As we Sophomores entered the Norwood Senior High School in September, 1961, we were startled at the appearance and phy- sical disorder of the school, due to the construction of the new addition. This confusion was increased by the admission of the Freshman class, making split sessions necessary. Our first impression was, It ' s horrible, or, I wish I were back at the Junior High, but as we became better acquainted with Norwood High, we learned to appreciate and love our new school, despite the drawbacks. A good summation of our feelings was expressed by a soph- omore girl, Our school may seem at first bewildering, but underneath the apparent confusion, there is system and order. It is our school and we ' re proud of it. On the night of October 27, 1961, the Sophomore Party was held in the school gymnasium. Ninety percent of the class appeared, anticipating a gala and exciting night. Their wishes were fu lfilled to the nth degree. Everyone participated in the dancing with the help of a few Paul Joneses and Snowball dances. The Grand March was held just before inter- mission and during intermission, entertain- ment was supplied. There was a panto- mimic imitation of a professor by Ralph Nixon, with Victor Lapuxzynski supplying the voice. Bruce Kauffman was commenta- tor and also author of this original skit Other performers were: William Jank Richard Susi, Robert Lynch, John Mad docks, Leah O ' Leary, Margo Christensen Albert Kublek, and Alan Witty. The party ended at 11:00 p.m., sending everyone home happy from an event which will be long remembered.

Fresh As We Come For the first time in many years a ninth grade class was to be part of the high school student body, and we Freshmen were very aware of the fact that we were an experiment and would be under ob- servation. We arrived at the school on the hill determined to prove ourselves good citizens. Freshman classes were not the only oddity at Norwood High. We soon found that, since the new addition to the school was not yet finished, double sessions were in order. During that first week, always a confusing one, we discovered just how tangled a traffic jam of twelve hundred stu- dents can make. Miss Ryan and Mr. Mon- bouquette were well known figures that week as they stood directing traffic amid the surging masses of students. In October great preparations were under way for the first freshman party, and on October 27 this long anticipated event took place. Our theme was Over the Rainbow and the gym was decorated accordingly. Everyone had a wonderful evening, and to our great satisfaction, the teachers told us that they also considered it a success. We feel that we have upheld our school ' s honor on the football field, basketball court, and hockey rink. The freshman teams have practiced hard and have come through well. We all look forward to the day when our athletes will be part of THE TEAM and the rest of us will be right there to cheer them on.

The Student Council Functioned Despite Drawbacks Despite the obstacles that have beset this year ' s council, the Norwood High Student Council of 1961-1962 has tared success- fully. Its leadership was placed in the cap- able hands of Paul Karshis, president; Channing Souther, vice-president; Kathe- rine Patten, recording secretary; Roberta Oliver, corresponding secretary; and Robert Baxter, treasurer. Sharing this responsibil- ity was the Executive Board, including chairman Bernadette Gotovich and mem- bers, Judith Folan, John D ' Espinosa, Susan Carolan, Barbara Cronin, and Mary Grazado. We were also happy to acknowl- edge the admittance of freshmen represen- tatives to this year ' s council. Our first big social event was the Autumn Frolic, held on Friday evening, November 17, 1961. The festivities were further en- tranced by the bright fall decorations that gayly adorned the gym. The council gave $150 of the dance ' s proceeds to the Foreign Exchange Committee. This year, as in years past, an assembly was held on March 16 and foreign exchange students attending high schools in this vicinity were present as guests. Included among the guests was Norwood ' s own Hale Sacir, this year ' s foreign exchange student from Turkey. Other panel members were present from France, Germany, Pakistan, Denmark and Norway. [118] As an added attraction to the Foreign Exchange Drive, an exhibition basketball game was held between the more agile male members of the faculty and student officers. This event proved to be most successful financially but the teachers ' victory was somewhat questionable, the referee being a faculty member. Delegates from Norwood High were sent to the annual S tudent Council Conference held in April at Burlington, Massachusetts. This proved to be a most profitable experi- ence. On comparing notes with other coun- cils, we felt we had gained as well as offered much. The alternate Student Council Repre- sentatives collected funds for the annual Assembly Drive in May. The Student Coun- cil has consistently supported a strong assembly program because it adds much to the enjoyment and education of all stu- dents. Action was taken by the Council, under the advice of John Folan, which facilitated the somewhat complicated traffic routing between the new and old buildings. Certificates of recognition for service on the Council will be awarded this year to all officers, executive board members and stu- dents who have served for a period of two years. The Student Council would like to ex- press its appreciation to Miss Hubbard and Mr. Busconi our faculty advisers, and to Mr. Charles Hayden, our principal, and to the student body for its support and interest.

The Hilltopper Tops Its Own Record Editor Algis Makaitis and his hard- working staff on the Hilltopper produced a record number of issues this year begin- ning with an unprecedented October edition. The enlarged staff included an advertis- ing department consisting of Christie Tragakis, editor, Katherine Patten, Lorna Thompson, Robert Baxter, and Joan Granlund. Fred Purnell did most of the photography work and also produced a fine series of articles on current affairs. A series of brilliant satires, written by Char- lotte Clem, was enjoyed by all readers. From the Secretary ' s desk, Marguerite Krupp sent her regular column and Joe Savina did a marvelous job on the sports page. The art staff produced many lively posters for each issue, with brushes being wielded by the talented hands of Donald Meeker and Kathy Patten. Sally Breen and Joan McTernan expertly handled the ever- popular Hearts and Flowers column. Our versatile staff of all-round reporters did an excellent job of covering school, national, and local events.

Penalties at crucial times proved the difference, as Norwood failed to score and lost 12-0 to Milton. A poor pass defense proved our downfall when Marl- boro scored twice on passes and won 20-12. Bill Davis and Bill Carrabino scored the Norwood touchdowns. Next Wellesley proved too strong, des- pite Bill Davis ' s fine run for the first touch- down, and the blue and white lost 30-12. A clutch conversion pass from Bill Carrabino to Chan Souther provided Norwood with the first and only victory, over Braintree 8-6. Next and for the fourth time Norwood was shut out by Framingham 14-0. For the tenth straight year Norwood bowed to Natick 20-12, despite a fine per- formance by Rich Armour. Thanksgiving morning Norwood lost to Dedham for the first time in eleven years. Two early lapses by Norwood gave Dedham a 14-0 lead in the first half, and in spite of a fine per- formance by Norwood in the second half, Dedham won 22-20. Chan Souther scored all the Norwood points. Ah, well, the only place to go is up and these players and their coaches deserve praise for their spirit and courage. It isn ' t easy to persevere in the face of misfortune, but these staunch sportsmen are the kind that never say die. [142] Hockey Team Row I: Fanning, Armour, Callahan, A.

All That Glitters Is Not Gold As defending champions of the Bay State League with ony four returning lettermen, Norwood High ' s Golden Nuggets managed to finish in the first division. Our season started off on a sour note by losing to an experienced Walpole team 5-3. The only bright spot of the day was a hat trick by sophomore Paul O ' Donnell. We won the four next games from Wellesley, Dedham, Milton, and Framingham. The Needham Rockets proved too powerful for our local lads by 5-2, although Norwood outplayed Needham. We lost our next game to Natick, Capt. Dave McCue being sidelined with an injury. We next defeated our arch-rival, and previously undefeated Walpole 2-1. The following game was dropped to Wellesley 5-1. In the next two games, the Nuggets proved themselves superior to Dedham and Milton, as we defeated them 3-1 and 4-0, respectively. The Framingham contest re- sulted in a wild affair involving both teams in a free-wheeling brawl, with Framingham achieving the victory. Our underclassmen played an inspiring game, but dropped the decision to Needham, 7-0. To the end the season we completely dominated the play with Natick to the tune of 6-2. Our high-scoring first line was fortunate to have Wayne Petrovek and Al Crowell who both finished second in the League ' s scoring contest. Capt. Dave McCue rallied the defensemen along with Rick Armour, Marty Callaghan, and Bill Callahan. Junior Jeff Fanning held down the goalie position and did a creditable job. We were an inexperienced team but we improved with each game. Look for the Golden Nuggets to have a fine season next year. A.C., R.A. ' 62 [143] Co-Copt. Crouiell THE BALI 111. Breen -,j ' i %. P.

Donahue, King, Maloof, Comme Ci, Comme Ca Lack oi ' height and a reliable bench proved to be too great a handicap for the Hilltoppers this year. We opened our sea- son with a convincing 62 to 33 victory over our arch rival Dedham. The team then proceeded to play the next seven games without a victory. Led by Captain Pete Maddocks ' 24 points, however, we again defeated Dedham 44 to 40. Norwood then continued on the winning trail, as we downed a fighting Walpole team 66 to 52, but, the next six games resulted in losses for the team. Captain Maddocks led the team in scor- ing with a 20.6 per game average, and in every other department except foul shoot- ing. Outstanding efforts for the team was made by Paul and Bill Bender, Bill Balutis, Bill Davis, John Richards, Chris Donahue and Bob Adams. The team certainly played better than our 3 wins and 13 losses indicates. Included in our losses were a 41 to 37 loss to Wal- pole, a 51 to 49 defeat by Wellesley, and an 81 to 76 setback suffered at the hands of Milton. Norwood was represented in the Bay State League Ail-Star Game by Pete Mad- docks, who started at center and scored 8 points. Pete finished second to Bob Rossi of Wellesley in the individual scoring race. It was a so-so season but an exciting one. Coach Richardson had nothing to lose by playing a great number of juniors and sophomores, who will make up the team next year. With an outstanding crop of sophomores, aided by very capable juniors, Norwood should be well represented in the Bay State League next season. J.M.

Row III: Maus, Breen, Donovan (mgr.), LaCivita, Loper Our Team is Up and Coming This year ' s baseball team is living up to all expectations and hopes. Sparked by Captain Jim McDermott at second base, we have a fine infield including Albie Crowell, as catcher; Jackie Knox at first; Ronnie LaCivita or Walter McDonough at short- stop; and Dana Maus at third base. In the outfield, we have Bill Carrabino in left, John D ' Espinosa in center, and Joe Didick in right. To complete the roster, we have a fine pitching staff including Denny Matt- son, Marty Callaghan, Rick Falcone, Skip Loper, Bill Balutis and Bill Breen. Norwood ' s Pocemen, so-named for Coach John Poce, started the season off strong by beating Dedham and Walpole 3-2 and 10-7. Then they lost two close ones to Wellesley and Natick 6-3 and 6-5, but they finished the first round in fine fashion winning four straight: over Framingham 11-1, Needbam 12-2, Braintree 6-5 and Mil- ton 8-2. At the beginning of the second round, they dropped two games to Wellesley 9-0 and Natick 4-2. Now, as the book is going to press, the team is well up in the first division and still has a chance for the championship. A lot of credit for this year ' s team goes to Mr. John Poce in his first year as varsity coach. He has instilled good spirit as well as good baseball techniques in his dia- mond performers. W. C.

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.
