SI.-'ip'S Log cLAss HISTORY As the Seniors of the Norfolk Branch of the Norwood-Norfolk Central School are nearing the end of our school days, we wish to express our appreciation to the principal, the faculty, and the board of education for their endless co-operation with us. When we entered our Freshman class in 1948, numbering 32 young, eager students, we elected Wayne Scott, President, Stanley Porter, Vice President, Ronald Gooshaw, Secretary-Treasurer, as officers to lead us through the year. Our class advisor, Mr. Kolb, helped us tremendously that year. Having had no activities in our previous years, we appreciated the privileges of joining band, chorus, athletics, clubs, and the Hi-News Staff. Upon entering the Sophomore year under Miss Taylor, our enrolment decreased to 25 pupils. Those who left us in our Sophomore year were Martin Dow, Robert Van Kennen, Dorothy Ferguson, Ida French, and Conrad McClure. Our new members were James Lewis, Virginia Michaud, Eileen Tyo, and William Raymo. This year was uneventful as far as activities were concerned. Our Junior year, still numbering 25, we began one of our busiest years under our advisor, Mr. Spotswood, who had endless patience. The year faced us with the tasks of ordering class rings and planning our Junior- Senior Ball. We built up our funds by selling stationery, hats, and pins and havingvarious dances. Class officers for the year were President, Joyce Oakesg Vice President, Sylvia Gooshawg Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret Belgarde. In our Junior year we lost Barbara Brothers, Eileen Tyo, Sylvia Gooshaw, Betty Goo- shaw, and Virginia Michaud. Our Senior year, long waited for and long to be remembered, finally arrived. Our membership was 20 after John Gately left us. The class officers were President, Alfred Smithg Vice President, Joyce Oakes, and Secretary-Treasurer, Gary Prashaw. During the year we had vic dances and sold pins. Our greatest projects were the Senior Play, Yearbook, and Junior-Senior Prom. The cast of the Senior Play Went to the Sunmount Veterans' Hospital in Tupper Lake to present our play, and we were warmly welcomed. We ordered our caps and gowns and announcements in the early weeks of April. The greatest event to come is graduation, which will be the unforgettable incident of our lives. We, the class of 1952, began our high school days in September of 1948, When we entered the Freshman room, we were excited and scared. We elected David St. Pier as our President, Dale Johnson as our Vice-Presi- dent, and Thomas Robare as our Secretary-Treasurer. After electing class officers, we chose Mr. Stark for our class sponsor. Miss Bishop and Mr. Stark worked together to plan and supervise most of our class activities. The custom of having Miss Bishop help each Freshman class was continued and is still in effect today. Among our Freshman activities were covered dish suppers, class parties, and a hayride to Coney Island. 'We put on an Amateur Hour for our class assembly. We made a considerable sum of money by selling coke and Christ- mas cards. As the end of our Freshman year drew near, we realized that we were by now pretty well accus- tomed to this new experience called high school. Our Sophomore year opened with the election of class officers and a class sponsor. Joyce McDonald was elected President and Joseph Mackey became Vice-President. Thomas Robare again served as our Secretary- Treasurer. We chose Mr. Donovan to be our class sponsor. We had a vic dance and a food sale to make money. The primary reason for our lack of class activities was our concentration on school subjects. Being Sopho- mores, we could now sit back and grin with the rest of the high school at the -timid Freshman. Our Junior year proved more eventful than the previous year. We elected Thomas Robare as President and David St. Pier as Vice-President. Our Treasurer was Bernard Culter, and Margaret Cleveland was our Secretary. We chose Mr. Day for our class advisor. We went to Norfolk to order our class rings with our companion class from Norfolk. Our rings finally arrived shortly after Christmas vacation. One of the high- lights of the year was the Junior Prom. How High the Moon was our theme song, and we decorated the gymnasium in blue and yellow. our class colors. To increase our class finances, we held two vic dances and a turkey raffle. The odd thing about our turkey raffle was that one of our own class members won the turkey. The Seniors found us well prepared for the paint fight. After scrubbing for a day or two and getting a few brush cuts, we removed all traces of paint. As far as we were concerned, the lowest form of life was a Senion Our general opinion of Seniors was completely reversed when we became Seniors ourselves. At the be- ginning of our final year, We chose Mr. LeLoup to be our class advisor. For class officers we elected Joseph Mackey, Presidentg Barbara Kingsley, Vice-President, Thomas Robare, Treasurer, and Gary Gibson, Secretary One of our most important activities was the Senior Ball. Dancing In the Dark was the theme and we again decorated in our class colors, blue and gold. We also had a Halloween dance and a vic dance. Our other money making enterprizes included a scrap drive and the sale of Christmas cards. Our sale of Christmas cards proved very profitable. In December we put on our Senior Paly, The Lovely Duckling, under the direction of Miss Backerle. Although we didn't have a capacity crowd, we received favorable criticism for our per- formance. Our Senior Paper, the Dust Mop , turned out well under the direction of Barbara Kingsley, the editor. Of course we had our caps and gowns, personal cards and announcements to order. The Norfolk Senior Class invited us down there for a party and we are planning to have a similar one here in Norwood, We plan to take a trip to the Thousand Islands in June. We are now looking forward to graduation, our goal in high school.
