Origin of TIOT Name Many moons ago, when the redman ruled this region, he gave it the name of TIOT, meaning enclosure of waters in the language of the Neponsets, a branch of the Algonquin tribe. A glance at the map shows how appropriate this picturesque name is, for Norwood is bounded on the north by Planting Field Brook and Purgatory Brook, on the south by Traphole Brook and the Neponset River, on the east by the Neponset River, and on the west by Hawes Brook and Germany Brook.

racuit V A school is composed of many elements, but primarily of people: of students and of teachers. There are no well- educated students without well-prepared teachers. The well-prepared teacher is the cornerstone of education. The essence of personality, of mental growth, and of physical development in the student, which prevail in this place of guidance and understanding, evolve in the atmos- phere of learning and culture created by the faculty. The teachers at Norwood High School are not only our mentors in regard to learning; they are also our friends and our advisors to whom we may turn in time of difficulty. [ 9 ]
