y QBWOOD HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY Nichols Si( d mm Si I orewor J The theme that we have chosen for our yearbook, Patriotism, is a subject of controversy at the present time. There have been great changes in attitude toward patriotism, and a chauvinistic point of view, My country right or wrong , no longer seems acceptable to a great number of our citizens. Criticism of our government is our inalienable right, and true love of country involves criticism as well as praise. Most of us, however, still believe that love of our country, pride in it, and a desire to serve it are still as important as ever. Always in our minds, moreover, should be the ideal of looking beyond our nation to the future good of humanity as a whole, of our brothers of all races and of all nations.

Dr. Martin Luther King was a man of peace who devoted his life to the struggle of his people. He wanted our nation to be a great place in which to live for all people, not just a majority. His words were forceful, but not violent. His heart was filled with hope, not hatred. His thoughts were of future happiness, not despair. He dreamed of the day when all men would live together as brothers in a country and a world free of hatred and prejudice, but he knew he would not live to see that day. Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4 of this year. It is to his dream, and to his work, and to his memory that we dedicate our yearbook this year in the hope that his accomplishments will not have been in vain, and we hope and pray that his dream may become a reality.

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.

It is glorious to serve one ' s country by deeds; even to serve her by words is a thing not to be despised. To every teacher everywhere goes the task of helping his students to become active and responsible citizens. This can and has been done by deeds of heroism, but it is also accomplished by teaching and by example. Young people can serve their govern- ment in many ways by preparing themselves to be active, concerned citizens with a genuine desire to participate in making and keeping our country what her founders wanted her to be: A Government of the People, by the People, and for the People. t td [9: Administration MR.

McCarthy of Minnesota, presidential aspirant for the Democratic nomination as we go to press, made the following remark in one of his campaign speeches, no one who is insensitive to poetry and song can have respect for learning, and no one who has no respect for learning can have real respect for justice, and no one who does not respect justice can, in fact, manifest a true love for his country. The members of the class of 1968 wish to go on record as heartily endors- ing the above statement which is so very relevant to their yearbook theme of Patriotism. [901 Three Top TIOT Stalwarts Pazniokas, Donovan, Orme Our Three Top Men The high-ranking men in the class of 1968 are Steven Donovan, the President of the class, Paul Pazniokas, Co-editor-in- chief of the yearbook and Kevin Orme, President of the Student Council. All are accomplished students as well as acknow- ledged leaders. Steve Donovan is admired by his classmates as being the perfect student, athlete, leader and friend. In short— the Ail-American Boy. He is a member of the National Honor Society, as well as the recipient of the Harvard Book Award. On the football team, Steve played a rugged game both offensively and defensively. On the basketball team, he was a popular captain. Next year, Steve plans to con- tinue his education at Harvard University. Paul Pazniokas has proved himself an able and energetic manager, editing our yearbook. His dry humor and spirit have lightened many anxious moments. Noth- ing can deter Paul from what he intends to do. He was co-captain of the soccer team and a member of the track team. Paul hopes to attend Dartmouth next year. Kevin Orme, President of the Stu- dent Council, has not only been a great representative of the Senior Class, but also of the entire student body. His abilities as a leader were obvious as he contributed to the success of our first Computer Dance, the most profitable Globe Santa Drive in our history, and a happier circumstance for Senior finals. Kevin ' s main asset as a leader is his pro- found interest in his class, which spurred him on to great accomplishments. Kevin hopes to attend Yale next year. f91 Freshman Class Officers (Class of ' 68) First Row: Coakley, Orme.

The Freshman Party marked our We shall never forget our first hectic debut in Norwood High School ' s social but thrilling days at high school. It was life. A fine program of entertainment impossible for us to travel from one room was provided by our classmates, in par- to another without getting lost in the ticular by the Four Aces, a band con- massive sea of unfamiliar people who sisting of Charles Carchedi, Robert Hall, surged through w hat seemed a labyrinth James Abel, and Bruce Wheat.

F921 Sophomore Class Officers (Class of ' 68) Seated: Marzuolo, Sweeney Standing: Phalen, Cronin, Machado, Levitsky, Donovan Well Entrenched In the fall of 1965, we returned to N. H. S. proud of our newly-acquired status as sophomores. With a year of valuable experience already behind us, it was easier to get down to work and into the main stream of things. Vigorous cam- paigning resulted in our electing John Cronin, President; Richard Machado, Vice- President; Alexis Levitsky and James Phalen, Treasurers; Dorothy Marzuolo, Secretary; Stephen Donovan, Boys ' A. A. and Nancy Sweeney, Girls ' A. A. Repre- sentatives. On November 18, a gaily adorned school cafeteria became the site of our Sophomore Party. The then newly- organized high school Stage Band sup- plied entertainment throughout the eve- ning. More of our class ' s hidden talent was revealed with Marie Payne ' s perform- ance of her lion act. To the enjoyment of students and faculty alike, all who dared sing were led in song and rhythm by the folk combo consisting of Stephen Donovan, Richard Machado, Kevin Orme, and Lenny Rentel. The night ' s entertain- ment was made complete with Barbara Lanzoni ' s singing of her now traditional, There ' s a Summer Place. By this year our athletes had well infiltrated into both the J. V. and varsity teams. Neil Higgins ' and Tom Shea ' s con- tributions gave foreshadowings of the strength and skill which would be further provided by other as yet un-sung heroes of our class. While our men fought, we sophomore spectators were led in cheers by expert enthusiasts Paula Crook and Nancy Sweeney. About to enter our Junior year we knew that we must direct our energies toward surpassing all expec- tations.

With eagerness and perhaps a little scepticism we began what was to be the most demanding and dif- ficult years of high school. Our most exciting class election to date resulted in popular Steve Donovan being elected President; Richard Machado, Vice-President; Dorothy Mazzola, Secre- tary; Janine Paquette and Victor Servello, Treasurers; Cathleen Coakley and Vincent Lembo, A. A. Representatives. Other outstanding students who filled their roles as members of our class included Nancy Sweeney who was chosen to represent Norwood High in Brazil. Corinne Maciewjewski and Paul Pazniokas were elected to the Gargantuan responsi- bility of co-editors-in-chief of our TIOT. The voluble spirit of Pat Burke proved a wonderful addition to the voices of our other two old-timers, Paula and Nancy. And, of course, we cannot forget the innumerable list of students whose ath- letic contributions helped lead our teams to victory. But, above all, we can be proud of the ever loyal and sport-spirited class- men of ' 68 who gave faithful attendance and support to the N.H.S. teams. The April evening of our Junior Prom finally arrived after long and fever- ish anticipation. Due to the endless efforts of the decoration committee, our cafeteria had been transformed into an enchanting South Sea island of Hawaii— a perfect set- ting for an evening of enjoyment. With June came the end of one more year at N.H.S. Bidding adieu to the Sen- ior Class and our Junior year we prepared for the responsibilities of leadership which would be ours as the top ranking class on the Hill the coming fall. 100 i Exchange Students have South America in Common NANCY KAY SWEENEY - YARA MARIA BANNWART Fll Never Forget: Looking down on the Andes Moun- tains after being told the plane had engine trouble.

To lead us during our last and most important year we elected Stephen Donovan, President; Richard Machado, Vice-President; Can- dace Hurley, Secretary; Janine Paquette and Victor Sevello, Treasurers; Cathleen Coakley and Vincent Lembo, A. A. Rep- resentatives. Kevin Orme was chosen as President of the Student Council. We were happy to have Yara Bann- wart from Brazil as our exchange stu- dent and as a member of the class of ' 68. Yearbook editors-in-chief Paul Pazni- okas and Corinne Maciejewski embarked on the major project of producing an outstanding yearbook under the direc- tion of Mrs. Riley. Circulation editors were Carolyn Deasy, Candace Hurley, Vincent Lembo and Dana Craig. Michael Carey and Eileen O ' Connell took on the job of advertising editors. Art work was ably handled by David Carey, Joyce Abromowski,and Alexis Levitsky. Cathy Coakleyand Steve Sortevik delved for sponsors with Mr. Nolet credited with a major assist. The yearbook pro- duced is a great credit to all concerned. The array of sports at N.H.S. con- tinued to receive our ardent support. Football co-captains Mike Santospago and Tom Shea together with Jimmy David, Steve Donovan, Eddy Farioli, Tom Hopkins, Larry Jansen, Warren Kramer, Charlie Kelly, and Charlie Shaw deserve much credit for their hard work and great playing. In addition to Steve Donovan and Bill Spierdowis who made the Dream Team , the skill of Phil Coakley, Lenny Harris, Norman Johnson, Richie 102 I Lindahl, Pat McGill, Phil Sias and Paul Wysocki enabled Norwood ' s basketball team to make a good showing for us. The hockey season brought our class and the whole town to its highest pitch of excitement. A superb team which included Bob Begley, Jack Cronin, Eddy Graham, Neil Higgins, Leo Mclnerney, and Tom Shea upheld Norwood ' s repu- tation on the ice. Probably the most exciting hockey game in Norwood ' s history was the final game against Arlington. Although the defeat received in overtime was painful, we will always remember that in addition to so many victories the team ' s perseverance, good sportsmanship, and never-say-die spirit gave us all so much to be proud of. In December our class production of The Mouse that Roared was pre- sented under the direction of Mrs. Louis Buscone. A round of applause was deserved by Sandy Kinsinger, Steve Sortevik, the citizens of Grand Fen- wick, and all others who helped make our play a success. In early spring more of our class ' s talents were demonstrated in the pro- duction of Show Boat. We success- fully presented Norwood High ' s most ambitious musical to date, thanks to the all-out effort made by the music depart- ment, Mrs. Buscone, Miss Ryan, Mr. Abraham, and many others. Other rea- sons for our musical ' s excellence were the outstanding performances of Kathy Lyons, Pat McGill, Joanne Sofulis, Tom DiMarzo, Jimmy Foley, John Grenham, Karan Jones, Kris Kask, and Barbara Lanzoni. Our most prominent and long-awaited social event, our senior prom, was held at Sidney Hill Country ' Club. The last few weeks which remained in our high school career were filled with the excitement of preparing for graduation, but even so. with nostalgic realizations that such a large and import- ant part of our lives was slipping into memory. We now leave Norwood High School deeply grateful to our teachers and par- ents who have helped prepare us to face the future and its challenges. We also leave mindful of the importance which co-operation and unity have had in making the class of nineteen hundred and sixty-eight a great class, in making 1968 our great year.

This necessitated moving the files in order to make an office out of the former file room for the new counselor. The heart of the guidance program is the counseling relationship through which each pupil is helped to understand him- self as he really is and to develop thereby his personal decision-making competen- cies. Beginning with information based on Norwood High School ' s offerings, the counselor collects and disseminates infor- mation to students and their parents concerning opportunities for further edu- cation and for future careers. In conjunction with teachers and ad- ministrators the counselor assists in pro- viding placement services for the proper grouping of pupils in appropriate classes. He helps the student to make the tran- sition from one level to another, one school to another, and from school to employment. Indeed, in these areas, it has been gratifying to note the increasing number of former graduates returning for assistance in the transition from the service to civilian life, as well as from semi-skilled to more highly skilled occu- pations or professions.

Eng- lish courses, required and elective, are designed to develop, increase, and enrich language skills and to provide students with an introduction to and a basic un- derstanding of our literary heritage. Students are helped to develop an awareness of both the practical and the aesthetic aspects of all phases of the tra- ditional English curriculum. Varied liter- ary offerings for all ages, backgrounds, and cultures form the core around which revolve the rhetorical, compositional, grammatical, and oratorical experiences of the English classroom. English electives in Drama, Creative Writing, and Public Speaking, and the seminar Utopian Societies in Literature are specifically designed for students with special needs, talents, and interests. In addition special instruction is provided through the Developmental Reading and Study, Skills Programs to increase stu- dents ' comprehension and rate of reading. Norwood High School students are as- signed to English classes which, in so far as possible, are specially adapted for then- needs and abilities. A Cumulative Course of Study in the Language Arts summa- rizes the objectives of the department. Top: Miss Hubbard ' s English group seems merry. Middle: Is Mike Carey one of the Wise Men? Bottom: Karen looks a bit intimidated by Mr. Flaherty. [Ill] Mathematics Department Top: Mr. Hartnett points out a parabola to his people. Middle: Solving problems is Mr. Tozier ' s forte. Bottom: Mr. Gentile takes it easy, while Steve takes over. [112] The Mathematics Department is now nearing the end of a period of revision and change which is quite unlike any other period in the history of teaching mathematics. In the past ten years each course in the curriculum has been sub- stantially revised in order to take full advantage of new research done in the area of math education. Next year, for example, the department may partici- pate in a federally-funded study to dis- cover whether the use of a time-shared computer would improve the learning of mathematics. Second year algebra classes will have the opportunity to program a high speed digital computer through a time-shared terminal. The terminal will be attached to a computer in Boston. Most students find using a powerful, high speed computer interesting, chal- lenging, and exciting. In addition to their participation in a truly forward- looking project, they have fun. In the Basic Math courses, where pro- grammed instruction was introduced in 1963, a compromise was reached. The programmed units were used for five weeks each term, and the regular text for the half of each term. This instruc- tion was achieved without the possible resulting boredom, while the regular teaching continued, with some of its problems removed or at least eased. History Department Top: Mr. Nolet on his favorite throne. Middle: Mr. Mac Donough ' s stand-in — he was on his apres-ski crutches. Bottom: What ' s missing from Miss Meade ' s third The Norwood Senior High School His- tory Program is designed to develop well- informed citizens by providing more depth and continuity in subject areas and more variety in course selection. Courses have, been offered to the stu- dent on the advanced level in Ancient Civilization and American History I. Upon successful completion of these courses, students advance to Western Civilization and American History II. Those students who are taking American History I and II are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Examination which will, in some colleges, give them six credit hours toward degree work. For the college preparatory student, Ancient Civilizations or American Gov- ernment is offered in the Freshman year. Sophomores will take Western Civiliza- tion, and Juniors will take United States History. At the Senior year level, the college preparatory student has a wider selection of courses. The student may select any two of the following courses, which will be given during two terms in the academic year: Asian Studies, Rus- sian Studies, International Relations, or Recent United States History. A full year course in Economics is also offered for the college preparatory student. For those students who do not plan to continue their education beyond the sec- ondary school level, courses are offered in American Government in the Freshman year, World Geography in the Sophomore year, United States History in the Junior year, and a choice of either Contemporary Affairs or Economics in the Senior year. fi inger : 113] Science Department Top: What ' s the chemical equation for a milkshake, Miss Wick? Middle: Real or inverted image, Mr. Fiore? Bottom: What does this experiment prove? The Science Department continues to grow annually, and the wide variety of courses offered for selection reflect the changes that have taken place in the sciences over the last decade. We are continuing with the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, Blue and Yellow ver- sions. These science programs rely greatly on the use of the laboratory as an integral part of the student ' s learning activities and contribute to an understanding of important biological concepts. For those students with a special interest in Biology or in related fields, an advanced course in Biology is also offered. This course also relies on the laboratory activities to develop concepts. This year for the first time, two classes of Sophomores are taking the Chem Study course which emphasizes the most enjoyable part of chemistry— experimen- tation. The laboratory work provides the basis for the development of chemical principles. It will be possible for these students to do advanced work in chem- istry which we are due to offer in 1968- 1969. We are continuing with PSSC Physics course, which is also a laboratory-oriented course. Principles grow out of observa- tions made in the laboratory. Some new experiments have been added, and some of the older ones have been changed so as to make some of the basic principles easier to recognize. With the interest in space travel, our Earth Science course becomes more im- portant. This course stresses the basic facts concerning the earth: its make-up and movements and its relation to other planets. We stress laboratory work be- cause it contributes so much to interest in and comprehensiveness of the course. 114] Foreign Language Department Top: After four years of French, they ' re still smiling. Middle: They ' re all in their places with sun- shiny faces. Bottom: Mr. Maloney ' s pupils just love Latin. [115] There were 970 students enrolled in the Foreign Language courses at the Senior High School this past year. Of these, the greatest number were study- ing French. Next came Spanish, then Latin, and German. It is now possible to complete five levels of French study, the first having been completed at the Junior High School, and four levels of Spanish and Latin. German was intro- duced two years ago. Present ' sopho- mores who have been successful in German II will be able to continue their study through the Senior year and thus complete four levels of German. There were 69 students who were studying more than one language. It is interesting to note that the most pop- ular combination was French and Latin. The Laboratory continued to be a very helpful adjunct in the learning of modern foreign languages since each booth is equipped with a tape recorder which permits the student to listen to a variety of French, Spanish, or German native speakers, then to attempt to imi- tate them, and finally to play back his own performance and compare it with the master recording. Also structures of the language which have been pre- sented in the classroom are reinforced by drill exercises in the Laboratory. Recordings provide additional informa- tion concerning the culture of the coun- tries whose languages are being studied. Business Department Business education is an essential part of the American way of life and its culture. It must, therefore, be taken into consideration when planning for the education of the future citizen. In a continuing effort to stay abreast of the trends in business education, this year we have introduced an I B M key-punch machine as a part of our business machines course. In September we expect to introduce a special course in Key-punch and Machine Data Pro- cessing. Our Business Department offers courses for all grades starting with Junior Busi- ness Training at the 9th grade level to General Business Training at the 10th grade level and thence to Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting and Business Machines. These courses offer all students an opportunity to select subject matter to suit their individual needs. Many take a series of courses to provide them with a satisfactory training as terminal students. Others select cer- tain courses to provide for their per- sonal needs. Top: They ' re certainly not looking at the key- board. Middle: Lucy and Charlie Brown in Mr. Usevich ' s class? Bottom: Shorthand with Mrs. O ' Brien. [116] Home Economics Department The Home Economics Department of- fers the high school girls an opportunity to develop themselves as responsible indi- viduals through class experience which can be put into practice in their daily living. The girls are taught to use the sewing machine and to use patterns. Samplers of hand stitches are made. The ability to fit and alter garments while constructing them is taught. In studying fashion and good grooming the girls become aware of the principles of good grooming in regard to personal appearance. Tailored gar- ments and techniques of making coats and suits are included in the advanced classes. The fundamentals of good nutrition and planning breakfasts, lunches and din- ners are taught. Good safe housekeeping is practiced, and correct rules of table set- ting for different types of meals are learned. The girls enjoy the art of simple cake decorating and flower arrangements. The elective Home Economics classes and Home Management classes are made avail- able to girls not having class time to take major Home Economics. In these courses the girls are introduced to many other aspects of home and family care. Top: Mixing it up with Mrs. Rideout. Middle: Soup ' s on! Bottom: Sewing a fine seam or two. [117] Library and Reading Top: Mrs. Sweeney and her aides aid each other. Middle: Can William really read? Bottom: Mr. Phillips and his reading class overcome all obstacles. SCHOOL LIBRARY The School Library was again the re- cipient of a federal grant. As a result, the space situation has become extremely acute. We are now shelving books on the window sills. The library is hopeful that in the not too distant future new quar- ters will be available. Then, the Norwood Senior High School Library will be able to catch up with the present, to say nothing of the future. The annual course of instruction in the use of the library was given to the fresh- man English classes. Mrs. Carl Pearson of the Morrill Memorial Library cooperated in the program with the high school libra- rian. Audio visual aids were incorporated into the program this year and helped to increase the effectiveness of the lessons. READING DEPARTMENT The Reading Department at Norwood High School has a diversified program each year. The purpose of the reading class is to develop every student ' s reading ability to his maximum, as well as to review and refine his reading skills. Within this comprehensive program courses were offered to upperclassmen on an elective basis. A required course entitled Study Skills was designed to equip the incoming Freshmen students with techniques for rewarding study. In addition, small classes and some indi- vidual instruction were given for reme- diation. As a basic tool for learning in today ' s competitive world, reading is becoming an even greater necessity for academic excellence and intellectual growth. [us; Music and Art Department Top Middle Bottom Painting up a storm? Learning the score Makins a record? MUSIC DEPARTMENT The musical curriculum continues to develop and is indicative of the expan- sion which has taken place in the Music Department in the past five years. Upper- classmen were able to select courses in Music Theory, Music Appreciation, Voice Training, Training Choir, Woodwind En- semble, Brass Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble. Once again General Music was taken by all incoming Freshmen. Performing groups involved: the Con- cert Band, the State Band, the Concert Choral, the Girls ' Choir and the Madrigal Singers. True appreciation and enjoyment of music can only be attained by being active performers rather than passive listeners. ART DEPARTMENT The provisions of the Art Department were arranged so that all students of mixed abilities and talents could apply themselves to a variety of creative expe- riences. These were realized through a wide range of art media. Such material and methods as block printing, sculpture, oil painting, drawing, ceramics, and many others provide the student with the op- portunity to develop a personal interest in art. In addition to the general art program, students desiring to go on in their art studies, either at a university or profes- sional art school, found that the art program provided them the necessary preparation. Students desiring to further their back- ground knowledge of the arts and human- ities learned to appreciate great art and to recognize the work and style of out- standing painters. [119] Physical Education Department Our program in Physical Education is an integral part of the high school educa- tion, and it has been expanding rapidly in recent years. Participation by all stu- dents in some aspects of this program, curricular and extra-curricular, is our aim. We also aim to develop correct attitudes towards play and to set up proper standards of sportsmanship. Physical education classes are held two periods a week for Seniors and Juniors and three periods a week for Sophomores and Freshmen. Intramural sports offered for girls are field hockey, basketball, Softball, archery, tennis, and gymnastics. The boys intra- mural program consists of soccer, touch football, tennis, basketball, gymnastics, weight training, and wrestling. The interscholastic program, also a very important part of our physical edu- cation setup, is conducted for girls in field hockey, basketball, tennis, softball, and gymnastics; and for the boys, in football, hockey, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track, cross country, golf, tennis, and wrestling. Each year the opportunities offered to the student body are expanded and refined, and we feel that the school is well represented in most fields of phys- ical activity with a bright future ahead.

Middle: Mr. Goodwin seems to approve of this project. Bottom: Mr. Jennings points out some intricacies. The Industrial Arts Course is designed to help prepare individuals for meeting the requirements of a technological cul- ture. The application of an idea from. its inception in the mind of the learner includes planning, designing, laying out, cutting, shaping, fabrication, and fin- ishing. Mechanical Drawing provides a basic knowledge of the techniques and skills necessary to produce satisfactory plans which were used in the various shop courses. The development of pencil and instrument skills in technical sketching, machine design, pictorial representation, architectural drawing, furniture design, sheet metal layout, electrical-electronic planning, and tool design is stressed. Graphic Arts trains the students in the skills of designing and producing suitable forms, which are printed on the offset press. In Electronics, basic circuits and sim- ple electronic devices are designed and constructed. The proper use of testing equipment is stressed. Metalwork gives the pupil an oppor- tunity to set up and operate some of the machines found in modern machine shops and sheet metal plants. Metal- spinning, art metal, metal forming, and arc welding are included in this course. Also, in this shop course, Automotive Mechanics is introduced to the more advanced students. 121] PEHBODV I eabodk y Adlai Stevenson in answering his own rhetorical question— What do we mean by Patriotism in the con- text of our times? , made the following concise but penetrating answer: A Patriotism that puts the country ahead of oneself ; a Patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedi- cation of a lifetime. Dedication involves tedious, day by day, training and discipline, not only for the vocation in which we expect to earn our livelihood, but also so that we may make the best contribution possible in maintaining and improving the democratic society in which we hope to continue to live. Our government is an expression of the will of the people only if the people are determined to make it that. 123] Peabody Faculty Miss Ruth E. Flood Practical Nursing - 3g; . ' 1 W ! V . Miss Ruth M.

The column ' s purpose is to keep the alumni, future applicants, and the general public informed about the current activities, students, and staff of Norwood ' s only vocational public school. For the fifteen years of its existence, this column has been the special province of the Henry O. Pea- body Press Club. The Press Club ' s membership con- sists of a group of interested and enthu- siastic students who volunteer to gather and write the news of their respective departments. Assignments often mean working under pressure to meet copy deadlines. Loyal and capable reporters for 1967- 1968 have been postgraduate Deidre Flaherty and junior Sandra King, Fash- ion Department; postgraduates Deborah Rau and Sandra Marshall, Business De- partment; postgraduate Barbara Tower and senior Kathleen Mohamet, Food Service Department; postgraduate Linda Lanzoni, Beauty Culture Department; and Mrs. Verne Berry, Practical Nursing Department.

Pea- body School automatically becomes a member of the Student Cooperative Association, an organization by means of which the students govern them- selves with the cooperation of the Director and the faculty of the School. The Student Cooperative Association through its elected officers, homeroom representatives, and alternates endeavors at all times to foster a spirit of accept- ance of responsibilities as well as priv- ileges, so that a fine spirit of friendship and of mutual pride will exist through- out the school as a whole. The Student Cooperative Association sponsors various activities such as the pre-election rallies, the election of offi- cers, and a student mixer in January. Operation Santa Claus takes place in December and is a school project which gives the students an opportunity to remember both children and older peo- ple in hospitals, nursing homes, and state institutions. In the fall a theatre trip is planned for the students. In June the officers of the Association serve as chairmen of the Annual Awards program. The elected officers for the year 1967- 1968 were: President, Bernard Lanthier; Vice-President, Michelle Leland; Treas- urer, Richard Billings; Secretary, Gray Marchand. The faculty sponsors were Miss Louise Ulrich and Miss Marion Martin. 129] operation hotel contest operation santa claus PEABODY _ STYLE SHOW APRIL 10,1968 1 UnDERGRHDS L lnclerQracluated ' 9 Knowing that only a United States that is strong and immensely productive can help defend the freedom of the world, we view our nation ' s strength and security a, J as a trust upon which rests the hope of free men every- where.

In an election so tight that there were several recounts, we elected this slate of officers: David Mogan, President; Fred O ' Connell, Vice-President; Ann Ponia- towski, Secretary; Kathleen Orme and Bob Do no van, Treasurers; Deborah Scol- lins and Stephen Fischer, A. A. Repre- sentatives. Our Junior boys contributed heavily to all sports. Many former J.V. players graduated to Varsity, increasing their fervor and ability. The class of 1969 is extremely proud of its outstanding athletes. Sports events would not have been as exciting without the support of the Jun- ior cheerleaders: Kathy Donovan, Janet Ostrom, and Be tsy Acker. In academics we fared well also. We survived with little mishap the PSAT, the NMSQT, and the College Boards. By vote of the faculty, these Juniors be- came members of the National Honor Society: Richard Bayer, Kelvin Chin, Patricia Fanning, Karla Johnson, Barry Levine, Roy Lydon, Joanne O ' Day, Anne O ' Donnell, Kathleen Orme, Tara O ' Toole, Barbara Tausey, and Susan Nolan. In the Foreign Exchange Pro- gram, finalists Barry Levine and Chris- tine McQuillan were selected from many qualified applicants. In the spring, we brought the year to a dramatic climax. At our Junior Prom, held on May 10, we danced to the music of Jeff Stoughton and his orchestra. This evening will always be a highly prized high school memory. As the Class of 1968 left us in June, we watched them rather enviously and very sadly. The Class of 1969 is prepared to take over as Seniors at N.H.S.

Kelley, Orme, Missing from picture: Cushing, Ritchie Our Second Year Was Second to None CLASS OF 1970 - SOPHOMORE HISTORY September of 1967 saw us trudging back up the hill to N.S.H.S. with a bit more understanding of the direction our lives were taking. With our pre- viously gained knowledge, experience and wisdom we were ready to push on to greater things. The first independent step we took as Sophomores was electing our offi- cers. Our political campaign resulted in the re-election of Brad Kelly, President; and our Secretary Jill Ritchie and Boys ' Treasurer Tom Kennedy were also to have a second year in office. Other offi- cers were Vice-President Walter Orme, Girls ' Treasurer Joan Kelly and A. A. Representatives Arnold Cushing and Marianna Vinson. The theme of our Sophomore Party, held in October, was in accordance with the message of the hippie generation. Love was plastered on every wall of the cafeteria along with multi-colored hearts. The Bitter-Blues Band pro- vided the beat for dancing, and refresh- ments were served. It was noisy and exciting. Sandy Columbo, Susan Bragg, and Chris Philips joined the cheering squad this year and many of our fighting men joined forces with the Varsity teams. The football team was given great support by Brad Kelly, David Thomas, Joseph Puzin and Dennis Joy. Mark Flaherty, Edward Letts, and Mark O ' Connell joined our victorious hockey team; and Richard Laffey met the re- quirements for Varsity basketball. Our second year at Norwood High was a period of physical growth along with mental maturity. There were failures and successes, but the cour- ageous Class of 70 was ready to come back and try again.

The first major event was the election of class officers. There was a close race for class president which was won by Paul Hartnett. Stephen Kennedy was chosen vice-president, while Geraldine O ' Brien accepted the duties of the sec- retary. The Boys ' and Girls ' A. A. Rep- resentatives were Patrick McQuillan and Lynn Parker. Cameron Kelly was elected Boys ' Treasurer and Joyce Gallagher Girls ' Treasurer. On October 20, the Freshman Party was held in the cafeteria. The Cen- taurs provided the music and everyone seemed to be having a good time. At the beginning of the evening the dancing was started by Mr. Lee and Mrs. Staton, but by the time it was over almost everybody had danced. We Freshmen then turned our atten- tion to the Freshman Sports program. The football team did fairly well un- der the direction of Mr. Lee and Mr. McKenna. Jimmy Murphy was selected captain of the team. A few of the out- standing hockey players were Louie Parker, Jackie Clifford, and Michael Lowey. The basketball team was bo osted by its captain Paul Hartnett, Cameron Kelly, and Robert Little. All in all, it was a fun-filled and fruit- ful year for the youngest class on the Hill.

Those who are willing to give of themselves, of their time, their talents, their coura and endurance to add lustre to the prestige of the school will also, hopefully, be the proponents of government in which each individual has a responsibility and where greater reliance will be placed on the char- acter and intelligence of the citizenry.

The Council ' s Executive Board consisted of John Cronin, Chair- man; Steven Donovan, Nancy Sweeney, Robert Begley, Michele Eysie, Beth Wright and Joan Kelley. The Election Commission consisting of Cathleen Coakley and William Dynan, Chairmen; Corinne Maciejewski, Ellen Breen, Kathleen Orme, Robert Don- ovan, John Ranalli, Fay Donovan and Ellen Kenney and assisted by the Offi- cers and Executive Board of the Coun- cil, ably supervised and published the results of all school elections. This com- mission is a very important part of school life, and its members earn and win faculty and student approval for their effort. The highlight of our Social Calendar this year was the Computer Dance held in December for the benefit of the American Field Service Program. The dance was a first for Norwood High School and provided an enjoyable and profitable evening for all who attended. The Student body again under the direction of the Council contributed [152] over five hundred dollars to the Globe Santa Drive. In September the Council presented to the school its Revised Handbook (THE BLUE BOOK). This project was undertaken by last year ' s council. Once again members of the council served as delegates to the Eastern Massachusetts Division of Student Coun- cil Spring Convention. This year it was held at Natick on April sixth. The fol- lowing students represented the Nor- wood Council: Kevin Orme, Barry Levine, Charles McAuliffe, Maureen Tamulonis, Barbara Jansen, Deborah Kelley, and Andrew Malacaria. Many ideas regarding Student Council activi- ties were exchanged at this meeting. This year a new committee, the Wel- come Committee, was formed to orien- tate new students to our school and to acquaint them with different aspects of Norwood High. The Council would like to extend its thanks and gratitude for the capable advice and assistance throughout the year from Miss Mary Hubbard, Adviser and Mr. George Usevich, Assistant.

O ' Connell Standing: Mrs. Coburn, Lembo, Kelly, Donovan, Craig, Paciorkowski, Morse, Lindahl High- Rating Scholars The Norwood Chapter of the National Honor Society is a branch of the nation- wide organization. Its principal pur- pose is to give recognition to students who are outstanding in scholarship and as school citizens. The first qualification for member- ship is scholarship and requires that a candidate be named to the honor roll five times in succession, for seniors two of these must be first honors, and jun- iors must include three first honors. Each candidate must present evidence of service either to the school or to the community. The list of applicants is then rated by the faculty on citizen- ship, service and leadership and from these ratings, final selections are made. The principal activity of our chapter is the conduction of a tutoring service for capable students who have been handicapped by absence, for transfer students or those recommended by sub- ject teachers. The Norwood Chamber of Com- merce, at its annual Education Night presents pins to our members, and each spring the group conducts an assembly to acquaint the student body with its organization and its members. Our chapter is a member of the East- ern Massachusetts Association and took part in its fifth annual conference which was held at Elizabeth Seton High School in Wellesley Hills. The theme of the convention was Building Leadership for a Better Tomorrow. 158 Senior Seminar Seated: Lennox, Orme, Tonning, Lydon, Cotton, Gallagher, Abel Second row: Kask, Lindahl, Paciorkowski, Somerville, Egan, Craig, Gaetani, Pazniokas, Kern, Nash, Sastivickas, Mr. Peterson Utopia in Literature Once again this year a few seniors gathered weekly in the dungeon to discuss in somewhat faded surroundings the ever-bright ideas of Plato, Machia- velli, More, Butler, Bellamy, Huxley, Orwell, and others. Each year the read- ing list is essentially the same; but because the teacher is a year older (if not wiser), the students different, and the world in terms of which the ideas are discussed everchanging, the course seems to possess infinite variety. Al- though it usually takes a few weeks for the students to feel at ease in the sem- inar situation as opposed to the more formal classroom approach, before long the discussion is proceeding from stu- dent to student, with the teacher play- ing a diminishing role. One of the primary values to be derived from this particular course is experience in par- ticipating fully in a small-group learn- ing situation, a situation which is only frequently available to students on the public secondary school level. The after- school meeting time guarantees that only highly motivated students apply for English 400; this has produced consistently high-quality seminars, and those of the 1967-1968 school year have been no exception. 159] Foreign Exchange Club Row I: Deasy, Lydon, Bannwart, Mr. Usevich, Crook, Roberts, Sullivan Row II: Pazniokas, Pender, Greenwood, Grenon, Lyddy, Sweeney, Parise Row III: Capasso, Bonham, Bayer, Krupp, Burke, Paparazzo Ticket Sellers Seated: Pazniokas, Wilmont, M.

Officers this year included: Peggie Capasso as President, Nancy Schlosberg as Vice-President and Sue Winthrop and Pattie Maggio as Secretary and Treas- urer respectively. Membership increased from the previous year, and a Con- stitution and club rules were finally adopted. Activities started late in the year with a dejeuner at a French restaurant in Boston. The members also got acquainted with members of other French clubs in the area through in- formal social gatherings. Later in the year slides, taken by a recent traveller to France, and movies were shown at several meetings. The club also enjoyed a tour of French art at the Boston Mu- seum. For the first time in the history of the club, members had a chance to attend a play in French, Le Mariage de Figaro, which proved to be an esthetic- ally fulfilling experience. During the latter part of the year opportunities were offered to view various French films. 162] I J El Club Espanol Seated: Lightizer, Russell, Flaherty, Eagan, Sastavikas, Alexandrowich, Lajoie Standing: Miss Godino, Adviser, Elias, Walker, O ' Brien, Robinson, Gleichauf, Kelly, Richardson, Crowley, Houston, Purpura El Club Espanol El Club Espanol at Norwood High endeavors to promote an exchange of ideas that involves the student in intel- lectual and cultural pursuits relative to the customs and traditions of the Span- ish speaking peoples of the world.

The officers were: President, Sheila Flaherty; Vice-President, Toni Manfro; Secretary, Karen Egan; Treasurer, Kathy Sastavickas; and Program Chairman, Martha Russell. During the first semester, the club received slides and listened to talks pre- sented by Mr. Reagon who, prior to coming to Norwood, served as a Peace Corps volunteer for two years in Peru. The club ' s major project of the semester involved all the members in preparation for a Christmas party, including a hand- made penata and gifts for the children at the Cardinal Cushing Spanish Speak- ing Center in Boston. Climaxing the first semester was a dinner at Casa Mexico in Harvard Square. Second semester plans included at- tending the annual performance of the Ballet Folklarico of Mexico and visits to the Gardner Museum and Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The duties of the Welcome Committee members are to introduce the new student to his new classmates, escort him to his classes for a period of time, and help him with traffic rules and lunch period procedures. The Student Council elected the following members to serve on the Welcome Committee for the school year: Maureen Tamulonis, Stephen Donovan, Deborah Scollins, Richard Talbot, Barbara Jansen, Andrew Mala- caria, Christine Pucci, and Guy Cister- nelli. 168 Junior Council of World Affairs Row I: Dold, Smith, O ' Neil, Nenart, Maggio, Sullivan, Murphy Row II: Miss Reardon, Gordon, Warnock, Mulcahey, Conroy, Tonning, Paciorkowski, Burns, Orme, Russell, Ostergren Row III: Donnelly, Cotter, Lanzoni, Tierney, Kaliel, Cress, Coughlin, Crowley, McLaughlin Keeping In Touch The Norwood High School chapter of the Junior World Affairs Council was or- ganized in 1966. It has a membership of twenty students and an affiliation with the Massachusetts World Affairs Coun- cil. Twenty-three high schools in the Boston area have junior councils. The purpose of these councils is to arouse interest on the part of the stu- dents in world affairs and current events. The Norwood chapter meets at regular intervals during activity period for lively discussions on world problems such as the Vietnam war and Latin American affairs. Occasionally, guest speakers are invited to these local meetings. Regional or state-wide meetings occur monthly. These meetings are focused on a specific topic such as urban affairs, Latin America, or the 1968 elections. Professors and graduate students from surrounding colleges deliver lectures and hold discussion workshops on that month ' s topic. The local council plans a follow-up project to be carried out at their next meeting. Films, speakers, and publications are available from the Massachusetts World Affairs Council to aid these local projects. In December Norwood students went on a trip sponsored by the World Affairs Council to the United Nations, where they met with the Counsellor of the Vietnamese Mission to the U.N., Mr. Tuan. In May there was a similarly sponsored trip to Washington D.C. The officers were: President, Diane Nenart; Vice-President, Donald Two- mey; Treasurer, Mary O ' Neil; and Sec- retary, Patricia Maggio.

It was the first edition which has been printed outside of school. This was accomplished with the aid of local busi- nesses which advertised in the news- paper. Also included in the Hilltopper was a copy of Scholastic Roto, a national magazine which proved very informative and- enjoyable. The faculty adviser this year was Mrs. Sullivan. The Editor-in-Chief was Patricia Ward, whose time and talents were devoted almost exclusively to the Hilltopper. Karen Elias was in charge of the Features Department, and her staff came up with many interesting and intelligent articles. On top of the news this year was Tara O ' Toole, who di- rected her staff in the coverage of the major events this year on the Hill. Sports-minded Vin Lembo ably handled that department. The Literary Depart- ment was run by Kathleen Cormier. Her staff was responsible for many original poems and stories. The Art Department was headed by Phyllis Cushing, whose talents were put to good use. The Hilltopper offered many students a chance to write for pleasure and ex- perience. It also allowed students to attend press conferences at the Sheraton Plaza Hotel in Boston. We hope in future years that the changes in this year ' s paper will be ex- panded and improved upon, for it takes much work to keep up with the growing population of Norwood High School. 170 HILLTOPPER From NORWOOD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NORWOOD. MASS. FUTURE HCMEMAKER ' S REPORT The Future Homemakers of America is a Norwood Chapter of a National club. So far this year we have had many good times . The first was the Sta te Convention at Bourne High School. The girls met with other members from the differ- ent parts of the state, and they exchanged ideas about what their chapters were doing The second event was a State Convention for Officers Only. It was held in Framing- ham. The officers- of all the Massachusetts Chapters met and were briefed on their duties and the responsibilities of the office i hich they held. Next, was the initiation. During this ceremony all of the girls became official mem- bers of Future Homemakers. Refreshmants were served after the ceremony in December. .0 A. Ba -r Whom Would You Choose? Perhaps you think Presi- dential Elections -do-hot con- cern you- as a high school stu- dent, but they should. Stop and think for a minute. A great deal rests on the shoul- ders of the individual voter this year. Each man ' s selec- tion could mean the salvation or the damnation of the United States and even of the world. It could mean that you are sent to Vietnam when you grad- uate, but maybe this is better than waiting until the war in Vietnam comes to you. It could mean that your Negro neighbor becomes your equal or your slave. It could mean we will reach the moon. It could mean we will have computers instead of teachers. It could mean our lives. Why not, for the sake of curiosity, have a national se- lection in our school. V would you choose? Elaine Doherty GXOBE SANTA . Once again this year, the Student Council sponsored a collection for the Globe Santa. The Globe Santa has existed for many years and is run by The Boston Globe. With the money that is collected, the newspaper gives toys and clo- thing to needy families ' at Christmas. This year, Pat Nolan and Frank Anello were elected by the Student Council to organ- ize the drive. Money was col- lected December 18 through the 22, during the homeroom. period. Members of the Student Council Executive Board brought a to- tal of $509.50 to the Globe Santa Office on December 22. The Student Council wishes to thank everyone for contribut- ing to the drive.

For some this interest is demon- strated by active participation, but for the majority, probably, by being spectators. The fullest satisfaction lies in being part of the action, but non-participants can affect the action by their ideas. Likewise, in the process of American government, reliance, trust, and responsi- bility have to be given to those whom we choose to keep the wheels turning. Our greatest responsibility is to see that we actively engage in the search for the best individ- uals to represent us and that we see to it that they live up to their responsibilities. We must be alert to make our government serve the cause of freedom. Inactivity and resignation have no part in this plan.

Half- back Tom Shea rambled for 226 yards and scored 23 points. Other touchdowns were tallied by Steve Fischer, Steve Don- ovan, and Bill Freytag. The Mustangs next journeyed to Wellesley and were victorious 28-20. Tom Shea had another big day by scor- ing 14 points. Brad Kelley scored Nor- wood ' s third touchdown. The defense was outstanding as Tom Gugliotta recov- ered two fumbles which resulted in touchdowns, and Rich Machado ran an interception back 40 yards for the win- ning score. Norwood then went on a four-game losing streak as they lost to Braintree 28-6 with Shea scoring the lone Mus- tang touchdown, were upset by Fram- ingham South 22-8 with Steve Fischer scoring, and then were swamped by Natick 26-0 and Needham 41-0. After Norwood ' s worst defeat in years at the hands of the Needham Rockets, they bounced back with a 6-0 defeat of arch-rival Walpole. It was a thrilling game as the defenses of both teams controlled the game. Norwood ' s touchdown came on a sustained drive led by the running of Charley Kelley, Steve Fischer, and Tom Shea, with Shea scoring.

The opening of the season was dismal as Norwood lost the first four games to Needham, Natick, Braintree, and Milton. Seniors Bill Spierdowis, Norm Johnson, Phil Coakley, and Captain Steve Don- ovan all reached double figures in at least one of these contests. The Mustangs got onto the win trail with three in a row over Wellesley, Framingham North, and Natick. The Natick game proved to be the upset of the season as it knocked the Redmen out of first place for the remainder of the year. Bill Spierdowis was high man as he netted 24 points, closely followed by Junior guard Tom Gugliotta with 23. A loss to Dedham was followed quickly with another big win, this time against Braintree. The final score was close, 42-41. Captain Steve Donovan netted 13, while Bill Spierdowis was not far behind with 10. The Mustangs fell to Needham as Cap- tain Donovan scored 25 points, but they roared back to top Framingham North. Two more losses at the hands of Welles- ley and Framingham South were to come before a back-to-back series with ar.ch-rival Walpole High School. Nor- wood topped the Rebels by large margins in both contests with Bill Spierdowis leading the way with 20 points in one of the games. With their record standing at 7-8, Norwood now faced a tough Milton team led by 6 ' 10 (Continued on Page 277) 191] : - .--fa P J OQr- J A SMBI 1 1 :;■•■' ■■' - j - ' .. r ll ' |L - spr M LWDAHL HOOPSTERS SPIERDOWIS COACH NOLET- JUNIOR VARSITY-COACH BUCKLIN JOHNSON APTAIN DONOVAN McGILL WYSOCKI COAKLEY HARRIS PAZNIOKAS LEWB CO-CAPTAINS SHUTE McGILL MANAGER SOMERVILLE COACH PARKER LINDAHL Wrestling Team Row I: Carr, R.

The team then went on to the Regionals where they captured sole possession of the Bay State League crown. The team was led by co-captains Richard Machado and Charles Shaw and ably coached by Mr. Cullen and Mr. Bethoney. The high point of the season was Norwood ' s narrow victory over Ash- land in the Regionals before a S.R.O. crowd of primarily partisan fans in the Charles A. Hayden gym. Finalists from Norwood at the Regionals were: Rich Machado, Charles Shaw, Dave Rich- mond, Bob Richmond, and Paul Don- ovan. The Norwood grapplers have come a long way in the four short years that wrestling has been offered on an inter- scholastic basis at Norwood. This sea- son, the Mustangs showed the form of true champions. 196 Varsity Hockey Team Seated: Hebner, Begley, Shea, Higgins, Cronin, Graham, Mclnerney Standing: McDermott, McTernan, Donovan, Letts, Sortevik, Thornton, Taylor, Ranalli, Scott, Mr. Wheeler The Best of the Best The sports highlight of this year, as every year, was hockey. Under the direc- tion of coach Don Wheeler and assistant coach Jim Gormley, the 1968 hockey team fought its way through possibly the most thrilling season in its history; achieving the title of Bay State League Co-Champs and State Finalists. Norwood fans were put under such unbearable emotional stress— excite- ment, tension, exasperation, and joy- that often the crowd was as exhausted as the team after a game. This season saw comebacks and vic- tories galore. Under the leadership of Captain Jack Cronin were some of the best icemen in the state; All-Star goalie Neil Higgins, whose brilliant net -tending saved many a game and earned him 32 shutouts in 3 years as well as the respect of all opponents; All-Star forward Dennis Hebner, a terror on skates, whose gargan- tuan frame made opponents think twice before they got in his path and whose clutch goals were a big reason that Nor- wood went to the State Finals; Bob Begley whose checking on defense and slapshot on offense provided back-up for Higgins and Hebner; Tom Shea whose hustle, desire, and speed was matched only by his strength, and fore- checking. And of course All-Star defenseman Jack Cronin himself— one of the best players to pass through Nor- wood High in years. He proved to be a great all-round player, who knew how vo combine thinking and instinct.

It permeates the everyday life of every citizen. It is a great force for the advancement of the material benefits produced by our civilization. Free- dom of the press and of other communication media is part and parcel of our other freedoms. As such, it is an integral part of our lives and quite possibly the easiest way to influence the public to take action where action is needed. To proceed from the sublime to the obvious, the editors of the yearbook hereby urge all their friends to support the businessmen who gave the TIOT some measure of needed support by their advertising through the medium of the TIOT. 221 I ersonal J wondorA Mr. and Mrs. John A.

' THE MUSTANGS NEVER GAVE UP TRYING (Continued from Page 190) The Mustangs then tangled with Milton in another thriller which they won 8-6. Shea scored Norwood ' s touchdown in the second period with the conversion being good on a Shea to Donovan pass. Thanksgiving Day brought 7,000 fans to Stone Park in Dedham in the pouring rain. The first half was all Norwood, as Shea scored Norwood ' s touchdown and Fischer bulled over for the conversion. However, the Marauders took over in the second half and won the game 14-8. Shea rambled for 133 yards in the losing effort. The feats of Tom Shea completely overshadowed the rest of the players and under- standably so. He has been one of the best backs in the state for the past two years. Outstanding also this year was the line play of Fred O ' Connell, Tom Hopkins, Dave Mogan, Larry Jansen, and Mike Santospago. Defensive stalwarts were Jim David and Tom Gugliotta. The class of 1968 salutes Coach Gulla, Co-captains Shea and Santospago, and the entire team. They deserved a better fate. DESIRE AND DETERMINATION (Continued from Page 191) center Larry Ketvirtis. Although he scored 45 points in the game, Norwood won on the strength of fine performances from Phil Coakley, Paul Wysocki, and Norm Johnson. They netted 32, 12, and 14 points respectively in the game. Coakley ' s 32 points was high for one game all year. The season ended poorly with losses to Dedham and Framingham South. Bill Spierdowis, Paul Wysocki, and Phil Coakley all hit double figures in one of these games. Senior Bill Spierdowis was the season ' s high scorer with a 13 point average.. He was named to the Bay State League All-Star Team. THE BEST OF THE BEST (Continued from Page 197) hustling, along with that of Hebner, earned them places on the Tournament All-Star Team. Leo Mclnerney, Dick Donovan, Tom Taylor, John Ranalli, and Gary Sortevik rounded out this fine team. Perhaps the most excitement came during the State Tournament where Norwood battled all the way down to the Finals. There was the 4-0 bombing of previously unbeaten Falmouth, and the great goal-tending of Higgins as Norwood edged by Hingham 1-0 on Donovan ' s score. Anyone who saw the last game probably spent the most harrowing 2:28 seconds of his life as Norwood trailed by a score of 3-1 when Coach Wheeler on a daring move pulled goalie Higgins. The Norwood side erupted as the big form of Hebner pushed in one goal, then a second to tie up the game with 14 seconds remaining. In overtime, however, Norwood ' s fans were horrified to see a Number 7 jersey break through our defense and put the puck by Neil for the winning Arlington goal. In spite of all. this team will be Number 1 with us forever. [277] Andy may be captain but he doesn ' t rule the roost!
