Much of his time has been spent either playing basketball or practicing those l shots which placed his name at the top of scoring lists. However, everyone agrees that Norwood's popularity is due not only to his ability on the basketball court, but also to his ever-friendly attitude and pleasant disposition. Because Norwood is interested in a special trade, he wishes to con- tinue his education. Here's to you, Norwood, as a good friend and all-around classmate. May you find success.

i l RICHARD ROY KOCH Orefield, Route ji-1 Success is one per cent genius and ninety-nine pei' cent workv We certainly must give Richard the credit for seeking an education. He has been particularly interested in all his scientific and mathematical studies. However, he varies his activities by backing up our debate club in a fine way and by enjoying a good relaxing game of basketball. We all hope to see Richard go to college, for he certainly de- serves an opportunity to advance his many applied interests. Your classmates know, Richard, that you will always try hard in whatever field of endeavor you choose. Course: Academic Debate 3, 43 Sowhiter.
