OUR This past school year has been a very busy and enjoyable one for me. lt has seen the wheels of centralization get under motion, with all of the work and satisfaction that a venture of this type entails. It is enjoyable because, in the light of pre- sent accomplishments, we can see a much brighter future, not only for our pupils but for all who are a part of our great central district. It is a goal toward which we have been working for a long time, and it is gratifying to be approaching the close of the school year and to look back with satisfaction on the many fine things that we have accomplished. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the members of the class of 1950, the first class to graduate from the Norwood-Norfolk Central School. It has been a pleasure to work with YOU, and I hope that you, individually, may be happy and successful in whatever new en- deavor you may choose. Richard W. Hann PRINCIPAL ' ,ss 1 V., RICHARD W. HANN QUR VICE-PRINCIPAL Wigan FRANCIS W. KELLY annum - ,al-0-slllll punnns:enra Centralization of the schools came to Nor- wood, Norfolk, Raymondville and the surrounding area this year. Centralization of schools is not new in New York State, but this one is different from most. Two independent villages that have had high schools of their own have now joined to- gether. This centralization should provide better edu- cation for the children of both villages and sur- rounding districts than could be expected under the old Union Free School organization. The next step forward for the voters of this new central district is to vote an appropriation for a new junior-senior high school building. The modernization of the present buildings for ele- mentary school use should be completed at the same time. We should in a few years have a system of education equal to or better than others in this section of the state. The people of this area have always supported any program for the betterment of their chi1dren's welfare.
