•  EDITORIAL 

At  the  beginning  of  this  Year  Book,  the  Senior  Class  wishes  to  thank  all 
those  who  have  worked  for,  contributed  to,  or  shown  interest  in  the  success 
of  this  publication. 

Its  purpose  is  not  to  complete  and  to  close  that  part  of  our  lives  we  have 
spent  as  students  in  the  Norwood  Senior  High  School,  but  rather  to  prolong 
it.  When,  in  the  future,  we  turn  its  pages  we  shall  relive  the  hours  of  pleasure 
we  experienced,  the  lasting  friendships  we  made,  the  toil,  the  care,  the  laughter 
and  the  tears  which  were  ours,  and  especially  that  day  when  the  most  pre- 
cious of  possessions,  our  High  School  diploma,  was  placed  in  our  hands. 

To  you,  our  Principal,  Mr.  Leighton  Thompson,  we  dedicate  this  book. 
Your  advice  and  help  in  its  preparation  will  long  be  appreciated  by  us.  From 
your  introductory  speech  last  September,  steadily  through  the  year,  you  have 
won  a  place  in  our  school  and  in  our  hearts.  We  have  recognized  your  remark- 
able qualities  of  kindness,  authority,  will-power,  and  unfailing  interest.  Your 
sympathetic  understanding  in  helping  us  in  whatever  we  attempted  and  in 
guiding  us  along  the  better  paths  will  be  even  more  appreciated  as  we  go  on 
through  life.  The  changes  and  developments  you  have  made  and  are  making 
in  our  school  are  working  to  the  advantage  of  all  its  students.  In  leaving  your 
guidance  the  Class  of  1937  has  feelings  of  both  regret  and  happiness:  regret 
that  it  has  been  our  privilege  to  be  under  your  leadership  for  only  one  year, 
happiness  that  we  are  your  first  graduating  class  from  Norwood  Senior  High 
School.

THE  WAY  OF  A  MAID  WITH  A  MAN 


"Game!  Your  serve,  Bill." 

It  was  a  hot  breathless  day  in  June 
as  Bill  Edmonds  and  Jim  Blair  played 
tennis  in  the  shady  high  school  court. 
Since  they  had  met  for  the  first  time 
a  week  before,  the  boys  spent  a  part 
of  every  day  together.  Bill,  the  son  of 
a  local  merchant,  had  lived  all  of  his 
life  in  the  small  town,  while  Jim  had 
just  moved  there.  Bill  was  active  and 
vivacious,  interested  mainly  in  sports, 
while  Jim  was  more  quiet  and  studious. 
However,  they  had  a  common  interest 
— tennis.  Today  they  were  ending  their 
second  set. 

"Well,  let's  quit  now,  Jim.  We  each 
have  a  set,"  said  Bill,  throwing  down 
his  racket  and  wiping  his  moist  fore- 
head. 

"O.  K.,  Bill,"  said  Jim  and,  walking 
to  the  net,  let  it  slide  to  the  ground. 
The  boys  lay  side  by  side  on  the  cool 
grass  under  a  huge  tree  and  rested 
quietly  for  a  moment. 

"Jim,"  started  Bill,   and  paused. 

"Huh?" 

"Jim,  have  you  got  a  girl?" 

"Sure,  I  know  a  nice  girl.  She's  just 
my  type.  I've  taken  her  to  the  movies 
several  times.  What  you  want  to  know 
for?" 


"Oh,  I  don't  know.  I  have  a  girl, 
too.  She's  swell!  Loves  to  swim,  and 
play  tennis,  and  ride  bicycles,  and  hike. 
Everything  I  like  to  do!  She's  pretty, 
too!  You  know,  dancing  eyes  and  curly 
hair.  And  is  she  full  of  pep!  What's 
yours  like?" 

"Very  different  from  yours,  I  assure 
you.  She's  quiet  and  intellectual.  We 
discussed  lots  of  deep  things  and  she 
seemed  to  know  just  what  1  was  talk- 
ing about!  You  can  have  your  athletic 
girls!" 

"What  does  she  look  like,  Jim?" 

"She's  graceful  and  dreamy — pretty, 
too,  but  it's  the  mind  that  counts,  not 
the  face!"  Jim  seemed  to  be  lost  in 
thought  for  a  moment. 

"Jim!  Why  don't  we  both  get  our 
girls  and  go  to  the  'show'  together 
tonight?  They're  having  a  good  pic- 
ture at   'Bijou'." 

"Say,  that's  a  fine  idea!  I'll  go  now, 
and  ask  mine.  I'll  call  you  up  later." 

"O.    K.   I'll  do  the  same.   So  long!" 

On  the  piazza  of  No.  1  1  Chestnut 
Street,  Jim  was  seated  in  serious  con- 
ference with  his  intellectual  girl-friend 
when  he  saw  his  friend  Bill  coming 
down  the  street  toward  them. 

"Look,  Ann,"   he  said,    "There  goes 


CLASS  OF    1937 


Bill  now.  Do  you  know  him?  He's 
going  to  ask  his  girl,  and  go  with  us 
tonight."  He  paused  in  amazement  as 
Bill  came  toward  them. 

"Have  you  seen  your  girl  already?" 
he  began,  but  halted  as  Bill  broke  in. 

"Say,  what  are  you  doing  here?  This 
is    my    girl!" 

Ann  gasped  and  started  to  speak 
but  Jim  interrupted.  "Do  you  mean  that 
this  is  the  girl  you  told  me  about?  But 
there  must  be  a  misunderstanding  some- 
where! Ann!  Did  you  tell  him  you 
loved  sports?  And  you  told  me  you 
loved   astronomy!" 


Poor  Ann  could  do  nothing  but  nod 
weakly,  looking  from  one  to  the  other. 
The  boys  turned  to  each  other,  ignor- 
ing her. 

"Well,    Bill?" 

"Well,  Jim?  Let's  go  to  the  movies 
together!" 

If  the  boys  had  bothered  to  turn 
around,  they  would  have  seen  their 
ex-girl-friend  looking  very  distressed, 
but  they  did  not  bother.  They  were 
too  busy  d.scussing  their  next  tennis 
game,  as  they  walked  arm  in  arm  down 
the  walk.

THE  WAR  CRISIS  IN  THE  WORLD  TODAY 


Any  condition  in  world  affairs  that 
may  exist  today  is  certainly  the  direct 
result  of  the  World  War.  The  close  of 
the  Great  War  found  the  nations  of 
the  world  in  a  strange  and  sorrowful 
situation.  Russia  had  been  swept  by 
revolution;  Austria  was  dismembered 
and  shorn  of  its  Hapsburgs;  the  proud 
Germany  was  broken  and  demoral- 
ized; Italy  had  had  a  taste  of  glory; 
Japan  had  become  war-conscious; 
Great  Britain,  France  and  the  United 
States  were  the  dubious  victors.  The 
four  victors  of  the  war  who  found 
themselves  still  intact,  decided  on  a 
liberal  course  of  action.  Herein,  lies 
the  cause  of  the  present  world  crisis. 
The  framers  of  the  Kellogg-Briand 
pact  implied  in  their  treaty  that  those 
who  had  world  power  would  keep  it, 
and  those  who  were  without  power 
would  not  seek  it.  According  to  this 
treaty  the  set-up  of  territorial  division 
was     satisfactory,      and     therefore     no 


nation  should  have  a  war-like  ambition 
to  increase  its  size  or  influence.  It  is 
easy  to  see  that  the  big  three — France, 
Britain,  and  the  United  States — as  the 
dominant  and  "satisfied"  powers,  were 
willing  to  make  the  existence  of  the 
present  boundaries  perpetual.  With  a 
condition  such  as  this,  no  hope  for 
lasting  peace  could  ever  be  realized. 
As  Walter  Lippman  has  said  in  his 
thesis  on  "War  in  a  Collectivist  World", 
"There  is  a  struggle  for  the  supremacy 
of  the  world  which  will  never  cease 
until  one  of  the  belligerents  is  annihil- 
ated." 

Before  one  can  develop  further  the 
"fight  to  the  finish"  program  that  is 
conspicuous  throughout  history,  one 
must  line  up  the  nations  of  the  earth 
into  two  catagories  and  explain  the 
underlying  reason  for  such  a  division. 
There  will  always  be  in  Mankind  the 
struggle  between  the  "haves"  and  the 
"have-nots".      In      relation      to      world 


10 


YEAR   BOOK 


affairs  there  are  two  aspects  to  this 
perpetual  social  struggle.  First,  there 
is  the  constant  conflict  within  the  in- 
dividual countries,  which  during  the 
World  Depression,  was  accentuated, 
and  kept  all  governments  locally  en- 
gaged. Then  there  is  the  international 
aspect  of  the  same  problem  which  will 
always  cause  much  trouble.  For  clearer 
definition,  the  international  viewpoint, 
between  the  countries,  may  be  divided 
into  the  two  classes:  the  "haves"  and 
the    "have-nots". 

Regardless  of  the  internal  set-up  of 
a  country  such  as  Socialism,  Commun- 
ism, Capitalism,  and  Democracy,  the 
following  countries,  with  regard  to 
social  division,  will  be  classified  as 
"haves":  France,  England,  Russia, 
China,  United  States,  and  some  of  the 
independent  countries  that  are  wealthy 
in  raw  materials,  such  as  Norway, 
Sweden,  Brazil,  Argentina,  Canada, 
New  Zealand  and  Australia.  These 
countries  will  always  have  a  common 
interest  and  protection,  for  they  are 
the  landowners  of  the  world. 

In  this  other  group,  the  so  called 
"have-nots",  it  seems,  strangely 
enough,  that  the  type  of  government, 
"Fascism",  is  an  element.  Fascism  has 
sprung  up  in  the  "poor",  capitalistic 
countries  that  are  deficient  in  money, 
land,  and  natural  resources.  The  poorer 
classes  in  these  countries  have  been 
made  to  realize,  through  the  medium 
of  a  dictator,  that  there  is  nothing  to 
be  had  by  overpowering  the  wealthy 
of  the  land.  On  the  contrary,  they 
have  been  made  to  see  that  the  cause 
of  their  plight  is  due  to  the  stifling, 
oppressive,  foreign  countries.  This  par- 
tially true  attitude,  when  correctly  fos- 


tered, gives  the  people  of  the  country 
a  strong  nationalistic  outlook.  It  tends 
to  unity,  militarism,  and  a  powerful, 
centralized  government.  Thus  we 
classify  the  "havenots". 

The  ruling  countries  of  the  world 
control  about  nine-tenths  of  the  terri- 
tory and  people,  yet  the  strongly  cen- 
tralized, proletarian  nations  are  almost 
as  powerful.  The  paradoxical  element 
about  the  whole  situation  is  that  the 
Fascists  hate  the  Communists,  and  the 
Communists  likewise  abhor  the  Fas- 
cists; yet  the  two  governments  are 
basicly  identical.  Both  forms  have  the 
centralized  government.  Theoretically 
they  differ  only  in  that  the  Communist 
fights  against  a  ruling  class  within  the 
country,  and  the  Fascist  plots  against 
the  ruling  powers  outside  his  country. 
Hitler,  Mussolini,  as  well  as  the  Japan- 
ese Emperor,  have  encouraged  national- 
ism in  their  respective  countries.  They 
have  clearly  recognized  that  the  only 
way  for  race  advancement  is  by  ag- 
gressiveness and  militarism.  No  one 
can  deny  that  these  dictators  have  ac- 
complished their  aim.  Germany  has 
been  transformed  from  a  defenseless, 
bankrupt,  demoralized  country  into  an 
upright,  defiant,  centralized  people. 

Germany,  Italy,  and  Japan  are  lead- 
ing the  remainder  of  the  world  into 
an  armaments  race  that  is  leaving  the 
latter,  short-winded.  Already  Great 
Britain  has  been  enticed  into  spending 
ponderous  sums  of  money  on  protec- 
tion. This  will  leave  England  unable 
to  tend  to  her  foreign  markets  and 
she  will  find  herself  hard  pressed  to 
meet  all  her  obligations.  In  the  mean- 
time, Germany,  Italy,  and  Japan,  with 
their   aggressive,    give-and-take   policy, 


CLASS  OF   1937

will  have  captured  these  foreign  mar- 
kets and  left  Great  Britain  in  a  weak- 
ened disillusioned  state.  This  would, 
without  doubt,  aggravate  the  stubborn, 
trusting  John  Bull  to  a  state  of  war. 
It  is  not  correct  to  say  that  war  is  im- 
pending as  never  before,  because  the 
grip  of  the  depression  has  not  been 
lifted  from  trade  and  commerce.  How- 
ever, as  soon  as  the  period  of  ex- 
pansion and  recovery  occurs,  some- 
one's toes  will  be  stepped  on,  and  the 
war  dogs  will  bark. 

The  war  crisis  in  the  world  today 
may  be  briefly  summarized.  The  ruling 
countries  of  the  world,  France,  Russia, 
Great    Britain,    and    the    United    States, 


have  the  choice  of  a  peaceful  land 
expansion,  or  war.  The  powerful, 
nationalistic  countries,  Germany,  Italy, 
Japan,  Austria,  Hungary,  and  Turkey, 
mean  to  obtain  their  raw  materials 
and  colonies  by  means,  ethical  or  other- 
wise. The  Manchurian  and  Ethiopian 
incidents  substantiate  this,  Already  in 
the  Spanish  Civil  War,  we  see  a  slight 
conflict  between  the  deadly  adver- 
saries, Fascism  and  Communism.  The 
hounds  of  war  are  beginning  to  bay, 
and  Mars  is  polishing  his  sword.  The 
war-prophets  are  no  longer  asking  .  .  . 
"Who?"  The  question  that  now  puzzles 
the  world  is  .  .  .   "When?"

NATURE'S  LURE 


Through  my  barrier  of  books 
I  catch  the  sun's  entreating  looks. 
Oh  how  he  calls  and  calls  my  name, 
But  all  his  pleadings  are  in  vain. 
How  can  I  break  these  prison  walls 
To  answer  his  repeated  calls? 
These  bars  are  strong,  stronger  by  far 
Than  those  of  stone  and  iron  are. 

The  clouds  look  like  a  downy  bed 

Upon  which  to  rest  my  weary  head. 

My  tired  eyes  look  toward  the  sky 

And  I  wish  with  all  my  heart  to  fly 

Far  away  from  lesson  books, 

To  sunny  meadows  and  tinkling  brooks. 

I  long  for  each  soothing  caress  of  the  breeze, 

For  the  birds  and  the  gentle  sway  of  trees. 

But  all  this  wandering  must  end 

And  again  to  the  task,  my  head  must  bend. 

While  to  all  those  who  work,   I  say, 

To  the  ones  who  resist  this  call  each  day, 

A  time  will  come  when  you'll  be  glad, 

While  many  others  are  regretful  and  sad, 

For  you  can  say  with  an  open  heart 

1  tried  my  hardest — I  did  my  part.

THE  POWER  OF  THE  PRESS 


The  Press  has  extended  itself  as  a 
permanent  guest  into  our  homes.  It  is 
like  a  "bossy"  old  aunt,  who  tells  us 
what  we  shall  eat,  drink,  and  wear. 
It  tells  us  what  we  do;  where  we  go; 
and  how  we  act.  The  newspaper  dif- 
fers from  most  aunts  in  that  it  is  a 
really  welcome  guest.  We  await  the 
coming  of  the  paper  more  eagerly 
than  the  arrival  of  any  friend,  for  it  is 
indeed   one   of  our  best   friends. 

Our  aunt  tells  us  what  to  do,  but 
the  moment  that  she  is  gone,  we  pro- 
ceed to  follow  our  usual  habits.  The 
newspaper,  however,  controls  our 
thoughts  to  a  much  greater  extent  than 
does  our  aunt.  Of  course,  if  you  curse 
the  paper  boy,  who  is  late  on  account 
of  the  weather,  merely  because  you 
cannot  wait  to  read  the  funnies,  the 
more  serious  editorial  page  very  likely 
holds  little  control  over  your  thoughts. 
Most  people  never  read  the  editorial 
page. 

I  have  a  curious  habit  (perhaps  I 
have  an  oriental  background)  of  going 
through  magazines  and  newspapers 
backwards.  I  do  this  with  magazines 
because  it  is  easier  for  me  to  flip  the 
pages  from  the  back  cover  to  the  front. 
As  for  the  evening  paper,  the  only 
explanation  is  that  the  funnies  are  at 
the  back.  The  next  section,  going  back- 
wards, is  the  sports  page,  and  then,  the 
editorial.  Here,  on  the  editorial  page. 
I  spend  more  time  than  on  either  of 
the  other  sections.  Considering  the 
time  spent,  one  might  conclude  that 
this  section  influences  me  the  most. 

For  the  past  century,  the  Press  has 
held  a  tremendous  influence  in  politics. 


The  Press  has  elected  its  candidates 
for  the  highest  office  in  our  land,  as  it 
has  succeeded  generally  in  breaking 
the  opposition.  It  is  known  by  all  now 
how  that  political  influence  was 
wrecked  (at  least  temporarily)  in  the 
last  election.  Never  before  had  the 
Press  unleashed  its  resources  so  vig- 
orously to  attack  a  presidential  candi- 
date. Publishers  and  editors,  who  had 
been  thoroughly  Democratic  four  years 
ago,  were  totally  opposed  to  Mr. 
Roosevelt.  The  slaves  of  the  Press  (i.  e. 
the  editors,  the  journalists,  and  the 
reporters)  were  forced  by  threat  of 
being  discharged,  to  write  all  sorts  of 
slander.  After  the  election,  the  papers 
tried  to  make  the  importance  of 
Roosevelt's  victory  at  the  polls  seem 
small.  That  vote  against  Landon  was 
really  a  vote  against  the  Press.  The 
public  at  last  saw  the  Press  as  a  tool 
of  the  wealthy,  who  are  afraid  of  Roose- 
velt and  his  liberal  ideas  of  sharing  the 
wealth. 

A  certain  periodical  hails  this  defeat 
of  the  Press  as  an  indication  of  com- 
ing disaster  to  the  big  publishers.  It 
may  be  as  serious  as  that,  or  it  may 
merely  indicate  a  waning  of  the  po- 
litical power  of  the  Press.  Two  decades 
ago  the  Press  was  able  to  defeat  Bryan 
by  closing  all  its  advertising  space  to 
him.  Bryan  turned  to  the  only  alterna- 
tive— speaking  at  open-air  rallies  and 
from  the  rear  platforms  of  trains.  He 
could  not,  however,  reach  a  fraction 
of  the  number  of  people  that  his  op- 
ponent, McKinley,  was  able  to  reach 
through  the  papers.  Today,  if  the 
papers  close  their  advertising  space  to

the  power  of  the  Press;  in  another 
country  there  is  a  movement  to  give 
the  Press  more  freedom.  It  remains 
to  be  seen  whether  the  Press  will  retain 
the  freedom  and  the  privileges  which 
it  has  hitherto  enjoyed.  In  this  respect 
very  much  depends  upon  its  own  be- 
havior. The  Press  itself  must  try  to 
reform  the  chief  faults  which  are  now 
weakening    its    prestige. 

The  "fourth  estate"  must  learn  to 
be  less  arrogant.  Writers  have  to  dis- 
continue breaking  good  reputations  by 
employing  slander  as  a  means  to  defeat 
their  opponents.  The  publishers  must 
cease  being  so  tyrannical  over  their 
own  employees.  No  axe  should  be  held 


over  the  head  of  the  editor  or  writer 
in  order  to  induce  him  to  write  what 
the  publisher  wants.  The  publishers 
have  to  become  less  greedy.  They 
fought  the  N.  R.  A.  like  wolves  because 
it  would  have  interfered  with  their 
exploitation  of  children.  The  owners 
of  the  big  newspaper  chains  maintain 
lobbies  in  Washington  to  protect  their 
own  interests. 

Laborers,  farmers,  and  political  lib- 
eralists  do  not  believe  that  they  will 
ever  get  fair  play  from  the  Press.  The 
Press  has  continually  scorned  all  rules 
of  the  game.  It  is  only  for  its  own  good 
that  the  Press  should  try  to  remedy 
these  basic  reasons  for  its  waning  power.

WAR  CRISES  IN  EUROPE  TODAY 


While  industrial  peace  is  settling  over 
the  United  States,  preparations  for  a 
gigantic  conflict  are  going  ahead  rapidly 
in  Europe  and  Asia.  The  English  pro- 
gram calls  for  domination  of  the  air 
with  7,000  planes,  as  well  as  an  en- 
larged navy,  which  will  control  the 
seas.  Russia  is  supposed  to  have  the 
most  powerful  army  in  the  world;  Ger- 
many is  subordinating  almost  every- 
thing to  armaments;  and  France  is 
staggering  under  immense  war  expendi- 
ures.  Japan  is  still  under  the  domination 
of  military  leaders  and  Italy  is  prepar- 
ing to  build  up  all  branches  of  the 
service.  The  policy  of  the  United  States 
will  be  to  make  us  as  strong  in  ships 
and  air  squadrons  as  any  other  nation. 

The  war  to  end  wars  appears  now  as 
vvar  to  extend  war,  as  the  armament 
race  has  begun  again.  For  several  years 
Europe  has  been  marching  from  crisis 
to  crisis,  precisely  as  it  did  in  the  period 
between  the  affair  of  Tangier  and  the 
assassination  of  Serajevo.  Thus  the  cre- 
ation of  a  new  German  army  and  navy 
shattered  the  peace  of  Versailles  by  a 
gesture  as  brusque  as  the  landing  of 
the  Kaiser  in  Tangier  in  1905.  Again 
in  1934  the  murder  of  the  Austrian 
chancellor,  Dollfuss,  by  a  group  of  Nazi 
conspirators,  precipitated  a  crisis  as 
acute  as  that  of  Bosnia  in  1908.  In 
1  935  the  Italian-Ethiopian  war,  brought 
about  a  situation  as  tense  as  that  arising 
from  the  Agadir  affair  in   1911. 

Finally,  the  current  year  has  seen  the 
development  of  the  Spanish  crisis,  out 
of  which  it  is  evident  there  may,  at  any 
moment,  arise  an  incident  as  fatal  to 
peace  as  the  crime  of  Serajevo  in  1914. 


The  Spanish  revolt  has  caused  more 
alarm  in  England  and  France  than  the 
Italian  crisis.  Despite  the  fact  that,  at 
one  time,  war  between  England  and 
Italy  appeared  more  than  a  possibility, 
it  was,  at  all  times,  possible  to  settle 
the  dispute.  But,  there  is  no  possibility 
of  any  settlement  of  the  Spanish  revolu- 
tion. Either  the  Communists  or  the 
Fascists   must  win. 

The  overshadowing  issue  is  not  na- 
tional, but  international.  In  the  stormy 
skies  of  Spain  are  traced  the  crude  out- 
lines of  a  contest — not  for  one  country 

,    but    for    the    mastery    of    Europe. 

For  the  first  time  the  Fascist  powers 
have  been  seen  moving  together.  For 
the  first  time  the  shadow  of  two  Inter- 
nationales instead  of  one,  appears  on 
the  horizon. 

Hitherto  Fascism  has  been  the  apo- 
theosis of  nationalism.  Mussolini  has 
played  a  lone  hand,  with  no  further 
aim  than  the  interests  and  aggrandize- 
ment of  Italy.  Hitler  has  followed  the 
same  course  in  Germany.  The  policy 
of  the  dictators  has  been  antagonistic 
rather  than  cooperative.  Fascist  Italy 
blocked  Nazi  Germany  in  Austria,  and 
during  the  Ethiopian  campaign  Italy 
received  no  help  from  Germany  beyond 
a  frigid  neutrality. 

In  Spain,  however,  though  both 
signed  hands-off  agreements  to  prevent 
others  from  aiding  the  Madrid  gov- 
ernment, they  act  as  Fascist  states  in 
open  sympathies  with  the  insurgents. 
This  solidarity  is  more  striking  than 
that  of  France  and  Russia  on  the  other 
side  because  it  is  a  new  portent,  the 
sign  of  a  line-up  never  seen  before.

YEAR   BOOK 


The  new  emphasis  is  all  on  the  system 
of  government.  Before  the  nation  was 
exalted  into  a  symbol  of  fascism  or 
communism,  it  would  have  made  little 
difference  to  Italy  how  or  by  whom 
Spain  was  ruled;  and  Russia  would  not 
have  felt  that  her  prestige  was  involved 
in  the  outcome  of  a  civil  war  on  the 
Iberian  pe?iinsula. 

But  today  Italy  and  Russia  are  some- 
thing more  than  nations.  As  repre- 
sentatives of  rival  systems,  they  are 
interested  in  the  affairs  of  their  neigh- 
bors in  many  capacities.  This  compli- 
cates international  relations.  No  gov- 
ernment could  make  a  move  one  way 
or  another  in  the  Spanish  situation 
without  implying  a  choice,  not  between 
Loyalists  and  the  Rebels,  but  between 
communism  and  fascism.  As  symbols, 
they  divide  Europe  into  opposing 
camps,  and  these  divisions  cut  through 
national  lines,  through  alliances,  and 
through  geographical  barriers.  They 
foreshadow  the  war  all  nations  dread 
most — the  war  without  frontiers,  not 
country  against  country,  but  front 
against  front — civil  war  on  an  inter- 
national scale,  without  rules  and  with- 
out end. 

Is  this  long-feared  war  about  to 
begin?   Only  time  can  give  the  answer. 

The  danger  of  war  in  Europe  is  great, 
but  the  danger  is  far  greater  in  another 
part  of  the  world — the  Far  East.  The 
latest  clash  between  the  forces  of  Man- 
choukuo  and  outer  Mongolia  has  been 
of  so  serious  a  character  as  almost  to 
convey  the  impression  that  the  war 
has  already  begun.  According  to  the 
Japanese,  there  were  more  than  a 
hundred  such  clashes  last  year,  and 
everything  seems  to  indicate  that  they 


are  increasing  rather  than  diminishing 
in  violence.  Does  this  mean  that  war 
is  imminent  between  "Manchoukuo" 
and  "Mongolia?"  Vast  issues  depend 
upon  the  answer  to  this  question  be- 
cause the  world  knows  that  "Manchou- 
kuo" means  Japan,  and  now  knows  also 
that    "Outer  Mongolia"    means  Russia. 

In  the  historic  interview  which  Stalin 
gave  Roy  Howard,  it  was  stated  that 
the  Soviet  Union  would  regard  ag- 
gression against  Mongolia  as  a  casus 
belli.  It  is  clear,  therefore,  that  if 
Japan  really  wants  to  attack  Outer 
Mongolia,  the  result  will  be  war  with 
Russia.  Does  Japan  want  this  war? 
In  an  attempt  to  answer  this  question, 
one  has  to  consider  briefly  the  motives 
that  impel  a  nation  to  so  hazardous  a 
step  as  war. 

First,  one  may  put  greed,  the  desire 
for  new  territory,  or  expansion  as  it 
is  called.  Does  this  motive  animate 
Japan?  The  answer  must  be  yes,  be- 
cause in  the  last  five  years  the  Japanese 
have  deliberately  invaded  North  China, 
and  have  completed  the  seizure  of 
all  Chinese  territory  north  of  the  Great 
Wall. 

A  second  powerful  motive  is  internal 
unrest — the  fear  of  a  social  disturbance 
which  might  be  counteracted  by  the 
patriotic  fervor  which  war  produces. 
A  singularly  dangerous  experiment 
this,  but  one  that  has  been  tried  before 
and  may  well  be  tried  again. 

A  third  factor  which  makes  for  war 
is  pressure  of  population  when  living 
conditions  become  so  difficult  that  an 
outlet    is    necessary. 

In  Japan  all  these  factors  are  evident. 
As  a  result  of  a  greatly-increase  popula- 
tion,  the  living  conditions  of  the  Jap- 


CLASS  OF    1937 


17 


anese  peasantry,  and,  for  that  matter, 
the  Japanese  worker,  have  become  in- 
tolerable. Finally,  there  exists  in  Japan 
a  military-naval  clique  whose  influence 
is  extremely  great.  They  are  restless 
men,  whose  ambitions  are  unlimited.  It 
must  not  be  forgotten  that  this  power- 
ful section  of  the  Japanese  leaders  has 
a  fanatical  belief  in  the  power  and  in- 
vulnerability of  Japan.  In  the  last  forty 
years  they  have  fought  three  victorious 
wars,  against  China;  then  against  Czar- 
ist  Russia;  and  then  against  the  Ger- 
mans at  Tsingtao  in   1915. 

That  the  China  they  defeated  before 
the  end  of  the  last  century  was  a  mere 
shell,  appears  to  escape  them.  That  the 
Russia  they  defeated  in  Manchuria  was 
utterly  corrupt  and  inefficient,  without 
adequate  transportation  facilities,  and 
with  comparatively  small  forces,  does 
not  enter  their  calculations.  They  for- 
get, too,  that  the  small  German  colony 
at  Tsingtao  was  very  different  from  the 
Kaiser's  armies  which  stormed  through 
France  in  1914.  Therefore,  they  have 
an  incredible  confidence  in  themselves, 
and  it  is  this  fact  that  makes  the  present 
situation  so  dangerous. 

It  seems  that  war  is  almost  inevitable 
in  the  near  future — on  one  side,  Japan, 
impelled  by  many  motives,  and,  on 
the  other,  Russia,  firmly  determined 
to  resist  Japanese  aggressions. 

There  is  no  further  need  of  dwelling 
upon  the  dangers  of  war.  These  are 
evident.  But  what  progress  have  the 
nations  made  towards  peace?  Through 
all  the  centuries  of  conflict,  Europe  and 
Asia  have  struggled  against  their  tragic 
heritage  of  war.  The  struggle  has  not 
been  without  war.  The  arts  and  sciences, 


now  flourishing,  now  languishing,  have 
survived.  Imperishable  contributions  to 
the  progress  and  enlightenment  of  man- 
kind have  defied  devastation.  But  the 
Old  World  builds  its  temples  in  the 
intervals  of  peace,  and  rains  destruction 

What  hope  may  there  be  that  Europe 
and  Asia  will  not  always  turn  from 
progress  to  killing?  There  is  no  hope. 
That  hope  is  in  America.  It  might 
almost  seem  that  the  Creator,  despair- 
ing of  the  future  of  civilization  in  the 
hands  of  nations  never  far  enough 
removed  from  war  to  know  its  futility, 
set  apart  another  continent  where  men 
might  learn  to  live  in  peace  and  security. 

Christianity,  the  greatest  force  of 
human  happiness,  appeared  first  in  Asia 
and  would  have  died  there.  Europe 
nourished  the  Christian  inspiration,  and 
preserved  it  for  the  guidance  of  future 
generations.  But,  Europe  failed  to  free 
mankind  forever,  from  the  darkness 
of  the  feudal  ages  of  which  war  is  a 
relic,   and  thus  failed  its  destiny. 

America  is  today  what  Europe  might 
have  been  and  may  still  be.  America 
has  become  the  greatest  nation  in  the 
world,  made  so  by  the  merging  of  races 
transplanted  from  a  continent,  where 
it  is  the  purpose  of  man  to  kill  and  be 
killed,  to  a  land  where  men  are  content 
to  live  and  let  live.  America  is  a  new 
world,  indeed — symbolical  of  new  hope 
for  the  older  nations  of  Europe.  Europe 
must  turn  eventually  from  war  for  con- 
quest, war  for  revenge  and  war  for 
the  aggrandizement  of  relentless  dic- 
tators. Europe  must  live  as  America 
is  determined  to  live,  free  of  hate,  of 
jealousy  and  free  of  war!

THE  WOODS  IN  SPRING 


There  is  no  end  of  happiness  in  spring, 
When  in  the  woods  the  robins  sing  all  day; 
Their  melodies  are  sweet  and  not  less  gay 
Than  are  the  songs  the  fairy-creatures  sing 
In  deep,  dark  woods  at  night.  A  golden  ring 
Of  daffodils  shows  where  the  fairies  play 
In  silvery  moonlight,   near  the  trees  that  sway, 
And  o'er  the  wood  their  inky  shadows  fling. 

And  yet,  not  only  when  the  sun  and  moon 
Shine  on  the  wood,  do  peace  and  beauty  reign, 
But  also  when  the  wood  is  pierced  by  showers 
Which  often  leave — on  stopping  far  too  soon — 
A  rainbow  in  the  sky,  and  near  the  lane, 
A  richer  host  of  fresher  trees  and  flowers.

•  FOG 

The  Reverend  Lyman  Smith  walked 
moodily,  with  head  down,  along  the 
glistening,  deserted  street.  A  wet  fog 
and  the  night  obscured  his  vision,  but 
just  ahead  he  could  dimly  see  the  rails 
on  the  bridge  over  the  muddy  East 
River.  The  Reverend  Lyman  Smith  had 
a  destination.  He  was  not  out  at  that 
hour  for  the  exercise,  because,  if  he 
had  been,  he  would  not  have  allowed 
his  step  to  drag  as  he  approached  the 
bridge.  He  would  not  have  appeared 
so  nervous  as  he  peered  through  the 
fog  behind  him.  It  was  almost  as  if  he 
feared   pursuit. 

The  sudden  detection  of  a  man  hug- 
ging the  shadows  close  to  the  railing 
startled  him.  He  stared  at  the  man's 
back  for  a  long  minute,  and  then  under- 
stood. The  suicide  statistics  on  the 
bridge    were    rather    high.    The    good 


clergyman  placed  a  hand  on  the  stran- 
ger's shoulder  and  turned  him  about. 

"Young  man,"  said  the  Reverend 
Smith,  as  he  looked  kindly  into  the 
young  face,  "I  understand.  I  see  your 
thoughts  very  clearly.  But  you  are 
wrong.  My  advice  to  you  is  to  go  back 
and  face  it.  Go  back  and  fight  it.  Your 
back  may  be  to  the  wall,  but  fight  back 
while  you  still  stand.  You  have  no  right 
to  destroy  yourself.  What  happened  to 
you  was  caused  to  come  about  by  One 
who  is  greater  than  us  all,  by  a  Will 
that  rules  us  all.  You  have  no  right  to 
dispute  that  Will.  Go  back  and  face 
what  you  seek  to  escape  from.  Fight  it. 
If  you  can,  forget  it.  If  it  is  a  loss,  make 
it  good.  Go  back.  Though  we  fail  to 
see  it,  there  is  always  a  purpose  in 
everything  he  does." 

The  dull,    tired   eyes  stared   at  him.

A  MEMORY 


Underneath  the  ocean, 
Down    below   the   sea, 
Resting  on  the  pebbles, 
Lies  a  memory. 

Part  of  it  is  laughter, 
Part  of  it  is  song, 
Some  of  it  is  happiness — 
All  of  it  is  gone! 

Forgotten   by   the   ocean   surf, 
Forgotten  by  the  land. 
Forgotten  by  the  screaming  gulls — 
Just  resting  on  the  sand.

HIGHLIGHTS  IN  GIRLS'  SPORTS 


First  on  the  girls'  winter  sports  cal- 
endar for  the  season  was  basketball. 
The  varsity  team  broke  out  even  but  the 
laurels  go  to  the  second  team  again, 
which  did  not  drop  a  game.  In  the 
Interscholastic  games  the  honors  go  to 
the  "Senior  Team"  which  won  every 
game  scheduled  for  them.  Although 
the  Sophomores  and  Juniors  did  not 
come  through  with  all  victories,  they 
proved  to  be  a  good  match  to  all  their 
opponents  and  both  look  like  promising 
teams  for  next  year.  As  a  whole  the 
Norwood  High  School  Basketball  Team 
had  a  successful  season. 

In  the  first  team,  captained  by  Anne 
Mike,  were:  J.  Kelly,  F_.  Treciokas,  H. 
Simaski,  G.  Minkevitch  A.  Javasaitis, 
O.  Boyd,  A.  S.  Orent,  M.  Dwane,  and 
M.  Keady. 

Captained  by  Sophie  Aukstolis,  the 
Second  Team  consisted  of:  A.  Main- 
ones,  L.  Fenton,  S.  Jusikiewicz,  H. 
Pazniokas,  M.  Boulis,  M.  Kelley.  A. 
O'Brien,  D.  Lobisser,  A.  Glebus,  and 
R.  Sparrow.  Sophie  Aukstolis  was 
elected  next  year's  Varsity  captain. 


Scores  for  the  Interscholastic  games 
were  as   follows:

Again  this  year  Brookline  High 
School  invited  the  Norwood  High 
School  to  participate  with  four  other 
towns  in  a  swimming  "play  day"  on 
February  4  and  a  "splash  party"  on 
March  1  7  at  the  Brookline  pool. 

The  following  eight  girls  made  the 
trip  in  February:  Albina  Thompson, 
Mary  Russetti,  Martha  Taylor,  Lucille

•  BOYS'  SPORTS 

FOOTBALL 

Early  in  September,  the  football 
candidates  reported  to  Mr.  Murray.  The 
squad  was  the  heaviest  in  years,  but  it 
lacked  veterans.  This  proved  to  be  a 
great  handicap  throughout  the  season. 
Norwood's  first  game  was  with  Hudson 
High,  a  little  corn-patch  town  in  the 
western  part  of  the  state.  Played  under 
very  unfavorable  conditions,  the  game 
proved  disastrous.  Nine  of  the  Hudson 
players  were  veterans  and  they  knew 
where  the  stumps  and  mounds  of  their 
field  were  located;  whereas,  the  Nor- 
wood boys,  green  to  begin  with,  had 
difficulty  in  keeping  from  tripping  in 
the  briar  patches.  The  partiality  of  the 
officials  might  further  explain  the  score 
of  2  7  to  0. 

It  was  in  the  No.  Quincy  game  that 
Norwood  really  showed  its  mettle. 
Stars  of  this  game  were  Naimi  Bader, 
Marty  Kelly,  and  Ralph  Surrette.  The 
final  score  was  7  to  0.  Much  is  owed  to 
promising,  young  Donovan,  who  di- 
rected a  powerful  Norwood  assault,  in 
a  manner  well  befitting  his  athletic 
background. 

Our  traditional,  annual  battle  with 
Dedham  resulted  in  a  glorious  defeat 
for  the  sons  of  Norwood.  The  game  was 
characterized  by  the  70-yard  run  made 
by  Dedham's  great  back,  Lyman  Avery, 
who    made    the    single    touchdown    of 


the    game    in    the    first    few    minutes    of 
play. 

BASKETBALL  proved  to  be  a  big 
disappointment  this  year;  the  team 
emerged  the  loser  only  too  frequently. 
Among  the  really  keen  competition  that 
we  faced  this  year  was  that  team  which 
came  out  of  Natick  and  which  proved 
unbeatable.  The  team,  composed 
mostly  of  veterans,  was  coached  by 
Norwood's  own  Tom  O'Donnell.  Nor- 
wood's chief  scorers  were  "Bubber" 
Smith  and   "Nit"   Gustafson. 

Norwood's  INDOOR  TRACK  team, 
coached  by  Mr.  Wheeler,  had  a  fairly 
successful  season.  Robert  Zoboli,  a 
dependable  and  consistent  broad 
jumper,  could  always  be  relied  upon 
to  win  his  points.  Harvey  Nutter,  Fred 
Frueh,  Charles  Diggs,  Peter  Amirault, 
Donald  Alden,  and  Franny  Quann  were 
others  who  performed  brilliantly 
throughout  the  season. 

As  this  goes  to  press,  Coach  Murray's 
BASEBALL  team  has  not  yet  got  under 
way,  but  the  prospects  look  bright.  With 
the  two  veterans,  Tommy  Thornton 
and  Ralph  Surrette,  and  such  proven 
players  as  Early,  Conroy,  Amirault, 
Flaherty,  Donovan,  Stanavitch,  and 
Smith,  we  cannot  help  having  a  smash- 
ing season.

•  MUSIC 

As  we  stroll  through  the  corridors, 
we  come  upon  Professor  Dethier  and 
the  Norwood  Senior  High  School  Or- 
chestra. 

As  you  know  or  should  know,  the 
Orchestra  is  well-known  throughout 
Massachusetts,  and  New  England,  and 
has  in  years  past,  won  several  trophies 
and  awards.  It  is  made  up  of  an  accom- 
plished  group  of  musicians. 

We  marvel  at  a  second  Rubinoff,  that 
most  ambitious  Miss  Lillian  Karki.  Best 
of  luck,   Lillian,   to  your  future  success. 

It  is  a  treat  to  see  Roger  Flaherty  take 
his  violin  playing  so  seriously.  His  heart 
and  soul  are  in  his  playing;  and  we 
think  his  mind  is  too. 

A  hunt  for  our  little  friend  Joe  Riley 
finds  him  almost  hidden  behind  his 
mellophone;  and  being  pushed  aside 
by  the  loud  blasts  of  Norman  Berezin's 
baritone-sax. 

We  go  to  another  side  of  the  orches- 
tra-pit, and  find  Robert  Zoboli  and  his 
snare-drum.  Robert  is  an  up  and  com- 
ing drummer,  but  he  is  with  the  wrong 
orchestra,  for  he  craves  "jazz".  ("Mr. 
Ghost  Goes  to  Town",  and  the  "Goona- 
Goo".) 

That  "amateur  bass-drummer",  as 
Roger  P.  Flaherty  dubbed  Katherine 
McLean,  has  been  playing  the  drum  for 
the  past  two  years,  and  she  gives  all 
credit  to  Arthur  Davis,  '36,  who  so 
willingly  taught  her  how. 

The  second-violin  section,  which  by 
the  way  is  one  of  the  best  in  years, 
consists  of  Helen  Cleary,  Sylvia  Glei- 
cauf,   Lucille  Langlois,    Magda  Larson, 


Margaret     Ahearn,     Marjorie     Donlan, 
and  Marion  Hartshorn. 

Directly  opposite,  is  the  first-violin 
section,  among  which  might  be  the 
suspected  "ringers",  they  are  so  good. 
Included  in  the  group  are:  Lillian  Karki, 
who  is  concert  master;  Jeanette  Geroso, 
Roger  Flaherty,  Lucille  Riemer,  Ver- 
onica Riley,  Salvatore  Ferrara,  Michael 
Triventi,  Dennis  Murphy,  and  Clifford 
McLatchey. 

Elizabeth  Glancy,  and  Martha  Tay- 
lor make  up  the  piano-duet,  and  both 
are  very  good  players. 

William  Merrill  and  Duncan  Cush- 
ing  are  the  "jazz-masters",  but  "jazz" 
is  not  allowed  in  the  Norwood  High 
School  Orchestra. 

Helen  Glancy  and  Julius  Kauffman 
are   both   accomplished   clarinetists. 

Margaret  McDonough,  who  plays  the 
soprano-sax,  is  doing  quite  all  right. 

The  five  trumpeters  led  by  Elston 
Bernham,  are  exceptionally  good.  They 
are  Elston  Bernham,  Lawrence  Hayes, 
Edward  Mattson,  Ruth  Sviebergson, 
and  Aaino  Ikkela.  Elston,  by  the  way, 
is  new  at  the  school,  but  he  is  not  at 
all  bashful  when  it  comes  to  playing 
his   Trumpet. 

David  Anthoney,  the  best-looking 
boy  in  the  orchestra,  has  his  face  hid- 
den by  the  tuba.  Tough  luck  girls! 

Kauko  Kahila,  a  most  serious  chap, 
plays  the  trombone,  and  he  certainly 
can  slide  it! 

Thus  and  so,  we  have  learned  to  ap- 
preciate the  work  of  the  Norwood 
Senior  High  School  Orchestra.

•  NORWOOD  HIGH  SCHOOL  DEBATING  SOCIETY 

During  the  past  year  the  debating  teams  have  met  five  schools,  winning 
four  and  losing  one  decision.  Norwood  won  from  New  Bedford,  Newton, 
Arlington,  and  Boston  Girls'  High,  and  lost  to  Portland  (Maine)  High.  Port- 
land High  has  been  champion  of  Maine  for  the  past  two  years.  Girls'  High 
had  not  lost  a  debate  before  ours  for  four  years.  New  Bedford  was  the  193  7 
champion  of  the  Brown  University  Debating  League. 

The  membership  of  the  teams  representing  Norwood  were  Robert  Zoboli,

THIS  YEAR'S  CROP  OF  ASSEMBLIES 


In  the  three  years  that  I  have  spent 
in  this  high  school,  I  have  seen  many 
assemblies,  but  I  think  that  the  rest  of 
the  seniors  will  agree  with  me  when  I 
say  that  this  year's  assemblies  have  been 
by  far  the  most  interesting.  I  believe  we 
must  thank  Mr.  Thompson  for  this  as 
well  as  many  other  improvements.  Mr. 
Thompson  has  tried  and  evidently  suc- 
ceeded in  bringing  us  many  interesting 
speakers,  representing  various  schools, 
colleges,  and  industries.  Every  one  has 
proved  interesting,  and  we  have  surely 
reaped  a  wealth  of  information  and 
wisdom  from  them. 

Let  us  review  just  a  few  of  these 
assemblies  which  we  have  enjoyed  so 
much  this  year.  We  all  remember  the 
chemist  who  set  up  an  impromptu 
laboratory  to  demonstrate  to  us  some  of 
the  wonders  of  chemistry.  He  also  told 
us  a  great  deal  about  artificial  silk.  We 
must  recall  too,  Mr.  Leland  Powers, 
who  entertained  us  with  a  Shakespear- 
ean scene  in  which  he  portrayed  three 
characters.  I  am  sure  we  shall  never 
forget  the  English  professor  from  Clark 


University,  who  gave  us  several  enter- 
taining readings,  including  the  one 
about  the  sergeant  who  had  a  cold. 
There  were  other  speakers  whom  we 
recall,  who  brought  us  serious  and 
valuable  lessons,  which  we  shall  not 
readily   forget. 

However,  I  believe  that  everyone 
considers  the  most  outstanding  pro- 
gram, that  which  was  given  to  us  by 
the  several  members  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Conservatory  of  Music.  It  was 
indeed  surprising  to  discover  how  much 
the  pupils  of  Norwood  High  School 
appreciate  good  music.  We  called  the 
musicians  back  again  and  again,  until 
they  were  literally  exhausted.  We  just 
hated  to  see  them  go. 

We  should  like  to  take  this  oppor- 
tunity to  thank  Mr.  Thompson  for 
making  such  enjoyable  assemblies  pos- 
sible, and  we  are  enthusiastic  in  our 
sportsmanship  was  reached  when,  as 
praise,  (for  the  first  time)  we  are  really 
looking  forward  to  those  gatherings 
with   eager  anticipation.

YEAR  BOOK 


•  SENIOR  CLASS  NOTES 

During  the  past  year,  we  have  had 
a  number  of  what  have  been  called 
"class  meetings".  The  term  "meetings" 
hardly  applies  to  those  disgraceful 
exhibitions  of  bad  manners,  of  disre- 
gard of  authority,  and  of  general  ig- 
norance and   lack  of  sportsmanship. 

Mr.  Thompson  was  kind  enough  to 
give  us  class  time  to  hold  our  first  "class 
meeting".  The  high  water  mark  of  poor 
our  new  Class  President  was  introduced, 
a  small  minority,  sitting  near  one  of  the 
defeated  candidates,  began  to  boo.  The 
faculty  advisors  finally  restored  a  sem- 
blance of  order,  so  that  Miss  McGon- 
agle  might  report  on  the  condition  of 
the  treasury. 

The  next  meeting  was  held  after 
school.  It  was  for  the  purpose  of  decid- 
ing   questions    relating    to     that    prize 


"flop",  the  Anniversary  Dance.  Plans 
were  made  and  committees  were  or- 
ganized. This  meeting  was  a  little 
quieter  because  the  trouble-raising  mi- 
norities were  too  busy  to  attend  this 
meeting. 

Later  in  the  fall,  Mr.  Butler  called 
a  meeting  of  all  interested  in  having  a 
year  book.  Miss  Wanda  Kotak  was 
elected  General  Chairman.  No  other 
meeting  accomplished  so  much  in  so 
short  a  time. 

Toward  the  end  of  the  year,  several 
meetings  were  held  to  decide  on  caps 
and  gowns,  the  banquet,  class  day,  and 
class  statistics. 

It  may  be  said,  to  the  conciliation  of 
some  and  the  regret  of  others,  that  our 
class  does  not  have  the  record  of  being 
the  worst  class  yet.

•  JUNIOR  CLASS  NOTES 

The  election  of  junior  class  officers 
took  place  on  October  5,  1936.  The 
following  were  elected  as  class  officers: 

President     Carroll    Woods 

Vice-President Lucille  Fenton 

Secretary Frances  Richell 

Treasurers Gladys  Nordstrom 

Gertrude  Mason 
A.  A.   Council Francis  Quann 

At  this  meeting  the  following 
Home  Room  Representatives  were  also 
chosen:  Leo  Flaherty,  Edmund  Mulve- 
hill,  Martin  Lydon,  Helen  Pendergast, 
Bruno  Jzdawinious,  Adam  Scott,  John 
Dower,  Thomas  Conroy,  Bernard  Berg- 
man. 


Mr.  Thompson  welcomed  the  juniors 
at  their  first  meeting  on  October  2 1 , 
1936.  At  this  time  Miss  Grace  Mc- 
Gonagle  explained  finances  and  the 
class  voted  a  ten-cent  dues  each  month. 

At  the  meeting  on  November  1 9, 
the  date  of  the  Junior  Prom  was  dis- 
cussed. The  date  was  decided  upon  and 
the  Junior  Prom  was  held  January  22f 
1937. 

At  a  later  meeting  plans  were  con- 
cluded for  the  Junior  Prom.  The  hall 
was  beautifully  decorated  with  400 
butterflies  and  a  colored  orchestra 
added  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  evening. 
The  fiscal  outcome  of  the  Prom  was 
not  at  all  depressing.

SOPHOMORE  CLASS  NOTES 


Lest  the  Sophomore  class  be  for- 
gotten by  their  worthy  brothers,  we 
hope  these  few  notes  will  help  us  to 
remember  them. 

The  first  important  incident  was  the 
election  of  class  officers.  The  result  was 
as   follows: 

President Thomas  Folan 

Vice  President Margaret  Kelly 

Treasurer  for  Girls   .  .    Patricia  Patinski 
Treasurer  for  Boys  ....   David  Butters 

Secretary Betty  Shackley 

A.  A.  Council Alice  O'Brien 

Next  the  Sophomore  Party  was  ush- 
ered in  as  the  "High  Night  Club".  Two 
comedy  pantomimes  were  presented, 
followed  by  entertainment  by  members 
of  the  class.    (If  all   the   entertainment 


was  as  good  as  the  sample  we  heard, 
then  the  party  was  a  success.  Remember 
the  Harmonica  Special — Alfred  John- 
son, Tony  Capuccino,  Michael  Solo- 
mon). We  also  heard  about  the  suc- 
cess of  Joseph  McLean  as  Master  of 
Ceremonies. 

The  usual  Sophomore  Play  was  pre- 
sented at  the  Junior  High  School  Wed- 
nesday, December  23,  1936.  Leading 
the  cast  of  "Where  Lies  the  Child" 
were:

62  YEAR   BOOK 

•  HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  1937 

As  our  third  year  at  this  school  draws  to  a  close,  we  find  ourselves 
reminiscing  over  our  successful  career  as  a  high  school  group.  A  faint  smile 
crosses  our  face  as  we  remember  these  days — days  that  seemed  endless  then, 
but  now  seem  to  have  passed  on  wings. 

We  entered  this  school  as  Sophomores  with  a  look  of  bewilderment  on 
our  face  and  a  troubled  frown  upon  our  brow.  This  all  disappeared  with  the 
election  of  class  officers.  Among  the  many  candidates,  the  chosen  few  were: 
President,  Norman  Berezin;  Vice  President,  Jack  Burns;  Secretary,  Gladys 
Lindblom;  Treasurers,  Anne  Shirley  Orent  and  Max  Lechter;  and  James 
Murphy,  A.  A.  Council.  Under  the  guidance  of  these  able  officers  we  began  to 
make  a  name  for  "37". 

The  Sophomore  play,  "A  Sign  Unto  You",  proved  to  the  upper-classmen 
that  some  of  the  Sophomores  were  not  as  insignificant  as  they  had  first  believed 
us  to  be.  The  cast,  coached  by  Mr.  Butler,  included  Katherine  McLean,  Robert 
Zoboli,  Jack  Burns,  Ruth  Silverman,  Louise  Mazzola,  and  George  Lee. 

The  next  event  was  the  Sophomore  party.  It  was  amid  gales  of  laughter 
that  we  sought  our  friends  because  this  was  a  costume  party.  Prizes  for  the 
best  costumes  were  given  out,  and  we  distinctly  remember  Mary  Hayes 
winning  the  first  prize  for  her  costume  as  a  "little  girl".  Many  new  personali- 
ties were  discovered  that  night  due  to  the  entertainment  which  consisted  of 
dancing,  singing,  and  other  musical  arrangements.  Later,  refreshments  were 
served,    followed   by  dancing. 

Since  this  was  the  last  social  for  the  Sophomores,  we  dropped  into  oblivion 
until  our  entrance  as  Juniors  in  the  fall.  The  outcome  of  the  Junior  election 
proved  to  be:  President,  Bernard  Chubet;  Vice  President,  Joseph  Pazniokas; 
Secretary,  Katherine  McLean;  Treasurers,  Priscilla  Badger  and  Max  Lechter; 
A.  A.  Council,  Gertrude  Minkevitch. 

The  first  item  on  our  social  calendar  was  the  Junior  Prom.  The  gym, 
which  had  been  decorated  in  the  class  colors,  was  a  scene  of  colorful  gowns 
and  gay  couples  dancing  to  the  strains  of  Ernie  Gotham's  orchestra. 

At  the  end  of  our  Junior  year,  we  were  definitely  acquainted  with  the 
school  and  each  other.  We  came  back  in  September  as  lofty  Seniors  who 
gave  sophisticated  glances  and  wrong  directions  to  the  Sophomores.  Our  new 
principal  greeted  us  and  at  the  same  time  made  a  fine  impression  on  the  whole 
school.  It  was  not  long  before  things  were  running  smoothly  under  the  leader- 
ship of  President  Jack  Mulvehill,  who  was  assisted  by  Roger  Flaherty  as  Vice 
President;  Katherine  McLean  as  Secretary;  Priscilla  Badger  and  Bill  Shyne  as 
Treasurers;  and  Clare  Barron  for  A.  A.  Council. 

President  Mulvehill  suggested  that  we  have  a  dance  in  December  to 
celebrate  the  tenth  anniversary  of  the  school.  Everyone  that  ever  attended 
Norwood  High  School  was  invited  to  the  dance.  Many  of  the  older  graduates 


CLASS  OF    1937  63 

welcomed  this  chance  to  again  visit  their  teachers  and  classmates  and  during 
the  evening  could  be  seen  chatting  together. 

The  Senior  Class  again  stepped  into  the  spotlight,  when  on  April  9th 
the  play  "Big  Hearted  Herbert"  was  presented.  Honors  that  night  went  to 
Dorothea  Duffy,  Jack  Hepburn,  Alphonse  Janavich,  Thomas  Hynes,  Mildred 
Adametz,  Edward  Paduck,  Mary  Hayes,  Gladys  Lindblom,  and  several  others. 
Many  future  stars  will  probably  result  from  this  great  performance  which  was 
coached  so  well  by  Miss  Gray. 

Breaking  all  tradition,  we  decided  that  our  prom  should  be  held  in  May 
instead  of  during  the  winter.  As  this  goes  to  press  the  date  is  definitely  set 
for  May  twenty-first.  We  are  convinced  that  this  prom  will  draw  a  large  crowd 
due  to  the  fact  that  it  is  the  first  spring  dance  ever  to  be  given  here.  Committees 
are  working  hard  to  insure  the  success  of  it  and  we  feel  sure  that  each  year 
the  Senior  prom  will  be  held  in  the  Spring  due  to  our  ingenuity. 

Again  breaking  the  usual  custom,  we  voted  to  wear  caps  and  gowns  for 
graduation. 

As  we  ponder  over  these  events,  we  are  sorry  to  think  that  they  are 
over.  Even  though  the  future  holds  many  new  and  exciting  adventures  for  us, 
we  shall  never  forget  the  days  spent  at  Norwood  High  School.  But  now 
the  hands  of  the  clock  in  the  tower  show  that  the  final  hour  has  come,  so  it  is 
with  great  difficulty  that  we  close  this  chapter  of  our  lives.

•  CLASS  WILL 

WE,  the  class  of  1937,  being  physically  unsound,  mentally  unreliable, 
scholastically  deficient,  spiritually  lost,  and  intellectually  hopeless,  having 
reached  the  last  days  of  a  twelve  year  period  prescribed  by  the  Educational 
Laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  and  having  been  judged,  in  spite 
of  our  short-comings,  as  being  fit  to  depart,  do  hereby  declare,  assert,  and 
affirm  this  to  be  our  last  will  and  testament,  and  do  hereby  declare  any  previous 
document  of  like  nature  to  be  null  and  void. 

WHEREAS:  All  debts  legally  contracted  by  us,  to-wit,  class  taxes, 
remuneration  for  lost  books,  locks,  etc.,  having  been  made  good  to  ths  satis- 
faction of  the  authorities,  and  whereas  all  that  we  have  taken  from  the  institu- 
tion having  been  returned  in  full  to  the  same,  we  do  hereby  bequeath  the 
remainder  of  our  estate  to  the  following  in  the  manner  as  prescribed  herein: 

Article  I:  To  Lincoln  D.  Lynch,  Superintendent  of  Schools,  to  the  Nor- 
wood School  Committee,  to  our  Principal  Mr.  Leighton  S.  Thompson,  and  to 
the  undergraduates,  we  leave  our  collective  love  and  heart-felt  sympathy. 

Article  II:  To  our  sub-master,  Mr.  Charles  A.  Hayden,  we  leave  a  little 
black  note-book,  to  replace  the  worn  one  he  now  carries,  with  the  conditions 
that  inscribed  on  the  property  described  therein,  is  to  be,  in  gold  letters,  his 
noble  name  with  middle  name  printed  in  full. 

Article  III:  To  the  janitors  of  the  buildings  we  leave  our  apologies  and 
any  initials  carved  throughout  the  building. 

Article  IV:  To  the  teachers  of  the  institution,  we  leave  our  thanks, 
sympathy,  best  wishes  for  success  in  the  noble  cause  they  have  devoted  their 
lives  to,  and  our  admiration  for  their  beautiful  attitude  of  Christian  resignation 
during  periods  of  extreme  emotional  stress. 

Article  V:  To  H.  Bennett  Murray,  we  leave  a  certificate  giving  him  the 
privilege  of  resting  during  the  sixth  period  on  each  Tuesday  and  Thursday — 
condition  attached  requiring  him  to  devote  no  less  than  two  minutes  of  those 


CLASS  OF   1937  67 

periods  to  soulful  meditation  on  the  days  when  his  worst  class  roamed  at  large 
in  the  gymnasium. 

Article  VI:  Corporal  Anthony  Smith,  and  all  responsibilities  involved 
therein,  we  leave  to  the  National  Guard  with  recommendation  that  he  be  used 
for  ornamental  purposes  only,  being  too  valuable  to  risk  in  combat. 

God  save  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts! 

Article  VII:  Elinor  and  Richard  Adelmann's  touching  devotion  for  each 
other,  we  leave  to  Joseph  and  Veronica  Riley.  The  court  will  make  no  official 
inquiry  as  to  their  behavior  in  their  own  homes. 

Article  VIII:  Thomas  Flaherty's  role  in  the  senior  play  in  which  he  was 
required  to  consume  a  pie,  we  leave  to  Uuno  Hallman.  Included  in  the  property 
will  be  a  season  pass  to  the  kitchen  and  a  standing  order  for  bicarbonate  of  soda. 

Article  IX:  Marie  Clapp's  saint-like  disposition  at  all  times,  we  leave  to 
Margaret  Sheehan.  The  court  will  not,  in  this  case  either,  make  official  inquiry 
as  to  behavior  in  their  homes. 

Article  X:  Henry  DeFlaminio's  devotion  for  Miss  Johngren,  we  leave  to 
any  freshman,  or  sophomore,  or  junior,  who  may  pass  her  requirements.  The 
court  encourages  any  person  or  persons  who  may  fail  to  pass  aforementioned 
requirements,   to  carry  on  unofficially. 

Article  XI:  Ruth  Nutter's  unchallenged  and  unequalled  position  in  the 
senior  class,  which  we  make  no  attempt  to  define,  we  leave  to  Irene  Costello, 
who  from  our  point  of  observation  seems  a  worthy  successor. 

Article  XII:  Francis  Barrett's  never-failing  entrance-gag  of  "I  come  to 
fix  the  oil  burner,''  we  leave  to  Edmund  Mulvehill  or  any  junior  who  knows 
a  girl  who  has  to  take  care  of  a  house. 

Article  XIV:  Mildred  Adametz's  complex  for  red-heads  off  and  on  the 
stage,  we  leave  to  the  Norwood  Trust  Company,  to  be  held  in  safety,  and  to 
be  taken  from  its  place  on  rare  occasions,  only. 

Article  XV:  Stanley  Barylak's  cap  and  gown  which  he  wore  on  exhibition 
before  the  senior  boys'  sectional  meeting,  we  leave  to  the  Smithsonian  Institute. 
We  laughed;  posterity  will  roar. 

Article  XVI:  Anne  Shirley  Orent's  political  success  we  leave  to  Isabel 
Mutch.  This  added  to  what  papa  can  teach  Isabel,  should  get  her  to  the  White 
House  before  her  father. 

Article  XVII:  John  Moloney,  and  Michael  McDonagh,  we  leave  to 
every  class  up  until  1  950  at  which  time  they  may  cash  in  on  their  social  security. 

Article  XVIII:  William  Shyne's  mathematical  ingenuity  we  leave  to  the 
mathematics  department.  Added  to  this  bequest  we  leave  Joseph  Pazniokas, 
for  obvious  reasons. 

Article  XIX:  Phyllis  Evans'  tap-dancing  ability  we  leave  to  any  junior 
who  ain't  got  rhythm. 

Article  XX:  Bartley  Curran's  ability  as  an  oral  topic  artist,  we  leave  to 
Donald  Alden,  who  recently  distinguished  himself  in  a  stage  production  in 
the  role  of  a  voice  off-stage. 


68  YEAR  BOOK 

Article  XXI:  Norman  Berezin's  ability  to  start  revolutions  in  the  orchestra 
everytime  they  had  overtime,  we  leave  to  any  aspiring  John  L.  Lewis  in  the 
junior  class. 

Article  XXII:  Wanda  Kotak's  activities  on  the  high  C's,  we  leave  to 
Elizabeth  Bernier;  if  either  or  both  are  present,  will  they  send  their  As  for 
the  records. 

Article  XXIII:  Thomas  Hopkins'  efficiency,  so  well  shown  in  his  man- 
agerial positions  in  the  sports  world,  we  leave  to  Roy  Hanson,  along  with 
Hoppy's  collection  of  rapid-fire  alibis. 

Article  XXIV:  Robert  Holman's  choice  of  locker-room  wise  cracks  we 
leave  to  Thomas  Conroy.  He  might  as  well  have  them  legally;  he'll  steal 
them  anyway. 

Article  XXV:  Robert  O'Brien's  telephone-technique,  we  leave  to  his 
brother  Ray.  The  court  assumes  no  responsibility  for  the  O'Brien  telephone 
bill.  It  must  be  terrific. 

Article  XXVI:  Lloyd  Allan  Murray's  sheer  courage  in  selection  of  shirts 
and  ties,  we  also  leave  to  Ray  O'Brien. 

Article  XXVII:  Jack  Mulvehill's  and  Richard  Merrill's  policy  of  "one 
for  all,  and  all  for  one,"  we  leave  to  Bill  Walker  and  Johnny  Kelly.  The  court 
suggests,  however,  that  the  motto  be  reworded  so  as  to  read,  "one  for  me  and 
one  for  you." 

Article  XXVIII:  Dorothy  Sherman's  "little  girl  in  a  great  big  world" 
appearance,  we  leave  to  Betty  Schroeder.  The  court  views  with  patriotic  alarm 
the  possibility  of  the  marines  ever  coming  up  the  Neponset  River. 

Article  XXIX:  George  Lee's  talent  for  undercover  work  in  class  politics, 
we  leave  to  James  Keady.  As  vote-smugglers,  both  stand  supreme. 

Article  XXX:  Anne  Javasaitis'  perpetual  Pepsodent  smile,  we  leave  to 
Helen  Glancy  to  replace  the  disgusted  and  bored  expression  with  which  she 
sees  us  fools. 

Article  XXXI:  Nancy  Stone's  passion  for  variety  in  automobiles,  we 
leave  to  Marjorie  Bemis.  The  town  of  Dedham  probably  will  not  barricade 
Washington  Street,  but  Norwood  should  have  long  ago. 

Article  XXXII:  Howard  Blasenak's  rich  baritone  and  Henry  Nordblom's 
basso-profundo,  we  leave  to  Terrence  Barrett  and  Leo  Bazzy.  Objections  to 
their  rendering  of  "Asleep  in  the  Deep".  Objection  sustained. 

Article  XXXIII:  Charles  Daly's  ability  to  mimic  foreign  dialects — and 
one  in  particular — we  leave  to  Wayne  Foster.  The  court  defends  its  action 
in  its  claim  to  diverting  Foster's  interest  away  from  long  automobile  rides 
to  Westwood. 

Article  XXXIV:  Arthur  Early's  all-round  athletic  ability,  we  leave  to 
Howard  Horton.  The  court  will  not  consider  any  petitions  to  allow  spats  to 
be  worn  with  uniforms.  The  beneficiary  will  have  to  remove  them. 

Article  XXXV:  Jeanette  Geroso's  ability  to  get  around  the  bases  in 
her  own  quiet  little  way,  we  leave  to  Eloise  Baker.  No  strikes,  the  bases  are  full. 


CLASS  OF   1937  69 

Article  XXXVI:  Katherine  McLean  s  efficiency  as  a  secretary,  we  leave 
to  Jean  Martin.  Jean  always  wanted  to  take  notes  on  people,  either  as  a 
secretary  or  a  columnist. 

Article  XXXVII:  Marion  Ivatts'  ability  to  talk  quite  clearly  with  her 
eyes,  we  leave  to  Mary  Magnani.  The  court  is  influenced  by  the  desire  to  see 
aforementioned  eyes  on  a  brunette. 

Article  XXXVIII:  Allan  Carlsons  ability  to  wear  a  hat,  we  leave  to  Nor- 
well  Bailey.  Norwell  looks  too  much  like  a  poet.  He  needs  Carlson's  air  of 
"man-about-town". 

Having  thus  disposed  of  our  estate,  and  having  petitioned  all  those 
mentioned  to  take  no  offense  where  none  was  meant,  we  do  hereby,  set  our 
hand  and  seal,  given  this  eighth  day  of  June  in  the  Year  of  our  Lord,  one 
thousand  nine  hundred  and  thirty-seven.

CLASS  DAY  ORATION 

•  FOREVER  FORWARD 

In  all  the  history  of  civilization  there  never  was  an  age  of  greater  con- 
venience than  the  present.  Countless  generations  have  built  up  for  us  a  world 
of  immeasureable  ease.  Discovery  and  invention  have  furnished  us  with 
comforts  and  luxury  to  an  extent  never  before  known.  We  can  travel  like  the 
wind  itself  across  land  or  sea  in  this  modern  world.  Our  gigantic  steamers  plow 
the  waves;  our  automobiles  and  trains  speed  across  the  continents,  over  rivers, 
under  rivers,  above  the  ground  and  beneath  the  ground.  Our  airplanes  soar 
above  the  clouds,  carrying  us  in  the  air,  on  the  water  or  down  to  the  earth, 
just  as  we  choose.  The  radio  weaves  its  mysterious  path  through  the  ether 
waves,  and  makes  it  possible  for  us  to  tune  in  any  station  in  the  country  or 
across  the  sea. 

But  what  good  are  all  the  scientific  discoveries  if  they  are  to  be  used 
for  new  methods  of  warfare?  What  good  are  high  powered  automobiles  if 
they  are  permitted  to  speed  the  kidnapper  from  justice?  If  our  labor  saving 
machines  succeed  only  in  piling  up  more  money  for  the  rich,  instead  of  making 
every  day  needs  cheaper  for  the  poor,  are  they  worth  the  trouble  of  inventing? 
This  does  not  mean  the  possible  values  of  these  inventions  have  been  over- 
loaded. If  the  labor  organizations  incite  strikes  and  violence  instead  of 
uniting  the  laboring  classes  to  their  own  advantage,  it  is  not  the  fault  of  the 
system,  but  the  use  to  which  it  is  put.  Thus,  all  the  greatest  things  of  life 
can  be  misused  and  become  a  power  for  evil  instead  of  good. 


70  YEAR  BOOK 

It  is  apparent  that  the  difference  between  the  best  lives  and  the  worst 
lives  does  not  lie  in  the  possession  of  certain  qualities  in  the  one,  and  the  lack 
of  them  in  the  other.  The  difference  lies  in  the  use  to  which  the  same  qualities 
may  be  put.  Temper  in  a  child  is  a  problem,  but  what  possibilities  may  be 
found  in  a  tempestuous  child  when  he  has  learned  to  control  his  energy. 
Lieing  in  a  child  is  a  dangerous  habit,  but  what  a  brilliant  future  lies  ahead 
for  the  imaginative  child  who  learns  to  distinguish  fact  from  fancy. 

Ambition,  the  desire  to  possess  and  surpass,  to  be  more  than  other  people 
are,  has  left  a  blood  stained  trail  across  history.  However,  in  spite  of  the 
ruinous  meaning  that  ambition  can  have,  none  of  us  who  hope  to  amount  to 
anything,  can  be  without  it.  Surely,  it  is  one  of  the  most  powerful  driving 
forces  of  our  life. 

Combativeness,  or  the  urge  to  fight,  can  express  itself  in  sheer  savagery, 
or  it  can  have  a  meaning  far  beyond  the  realms  of  physical  violence.  Pugnacity 
may  appear  in  a  gunman,  contentious,  reckless;  or  it  may  appear  in  a  group 
of  scientists  who  are  battling  a  plague.  This  same  quality  may  cause  serious 
injury  in  a  fight,  or  it  may  go  into  a  pulpit  to  help  humanity. 

Thus,  while  all  these  instincts  can  be  abused,  they  can  also  be  made  the 
most  valuable  part  of  our  equipment  through  life.  However,  they  must  be 
harnessed  and  made  to  contribute  to  our  happiness. 

Life  is  full  of  such  challenges  of  this  sort.  Every  way  we  turn  there  is  a 
choice  to  be  made.  Let  us  consider  the  question  of  our  leisure  hours.  We  can 
make  of  leisure  an  opportunity  to  wake  up  our  latent  talents  in  art  or  music; 
we  can  develop  our  bodies  with  helpful  physical  recreation.  Or,  we  can  litter 
up  our  minds  with  casual  trash.  In  our  daily  work  this  same  situation  exists. 
We  can  drag  unwilling  feet  to  our  desks  every  morning  with  just  as  little 
effort  and  enthusiasm  as  possible.  Or,  we  can  tackle  every  task  with  deter- 
mination, and  develop  and  strengthen  our  powers  and  thus  pave  our  way  to 
success. 

So,  today  we  the  class  of  1937,  are  leaving  to  begin  a  new  life.  It  is 
with  some  reluctance  that  we  go,  for  the  years  that  we  have  passed  here  are 
full  of  pleasant  memories.  But  the  thought  of  something  greater  dominates 
our  soul,  and  urges  us  on.  We  shall  not  remember  all  we  have  learned  here, 
but  the  high  aims  and  standards  we  can  never  forget. 

We  leave  to  find  our  adventure  in  the  new  world.  If  we  succeed,  we  shall 
bring  honor  and  glory  to  our  school.  If  we  fail,  we  must  try  again,  for  no  great 
achievement  was  ever  attained  without  a  struggle. 

We  have  the  world  before  us,  a  world  moving  at  a  faster  tempo  than 
ever  before  in  history.  Great  problems  are  yet  to  be  solved;  new  unseen  and 
undreamed  of  achievements  are  yet  to  happen.  Into  this  unknown  let  us  look 
fearlessly;  let  us  advance  courageously  with  full  confidence  in  our  ability  to 
meet  every  challenge,  to  overcome  every  obstacle,  and  to  achieve  ultimate 
success  and  victory.  William  Shyne  '37

•  CLASS  PROPHECY 

Time:     195  7. 

Place:    The  "News  of  the  Nation"  building  in  Washington,  D.  C. 

Situation:  The  editors  of  the  "News  of  the  Nation",  Joseph  Pazniokas 
and  Dorothy  McDermott,  are  compiling  the  news. 

Joseph:    Where's  that  reporter,  Einari  Kinnunen? 

Dorothy:  He  went  out  two  hours  ago  to  get  some  story  or  other  and 
hasn't  returned  yet. 

Joseph:  I'll  bet  he's  down  at  the  "Barber  and  Beauty  Salon"  which 
Gladys  Lindblom  and  Nellie  Glebus  have  recently  opened.  Women  can  do 
anything  with  Einari. 

Dorothy:  I've  noticed  that  ever  since  Clare  Barron  and  Eva  Holden 
opened  their  "Flapjack  Diner",  you've  taken  a  sudden  liking  to  Flapjacks. 

Joseph:    Let's  get  down  to  work.  How  is  Congress  getting  along? 

Dorothy:  Those  Congresswomen  from  Massachusetts  are  in  the  lime- 
light again.  Eleanor  Adelmann,  Anna  Zimlicki,  and  Phyllis  Evans  are  showing 
stubborn  men  like  you  that  women  can  be  just  as  good  politicians  as  men 
are.    Governor  John   Mulvehill   of   Massachusetts  says   this   is   so. 

Joseph:  Maybe  it  is  so,  but,  as  the  great  woman  philosopher,  Martha 
Wozniak,    has   confessed,    women    must    learn    from    men. 

Dorothy:  Did  you  hear  all  the  complimentary  things  Richard  Merrill 
and  Firechief  James  Murphy  have  to  say  about  this?  You  must  admit  they 
know  women. 

Joseph:  Oh,  they  know  women  all  right.  They  and  Henry  DeFlaminio 
have  just  formed  a  bachelors'  club. 

Dorothy:  We're  neglecting  our  work  again.  Here's  another  item  for 
the  first  page:  Alice  Feaver  has  recently  been  appointed  president  of  Wellesley 
College. 


72  YEAR   BOOK 

Joseph:  And  this  item  about  the  Army  and  Navy  maneuvers  is  inter- 
esting. Here  are  pictures  of  Lieutenant  Anthony  Smith,  of  the  Army,  Francis 
Massey  of  the  Navy,  and  Harold  Johnson  of  the  Air  Fleet. 

Dorothy:    Anthony  looks  very  handsome  in  that  cute  little  mustache. 

Joseph:  Another  army  officer,  William  Shyne,  has  completed  important 
researches  in  chemistry  and  has  announced  the  discovery  of  a  new  war  gas. 
The  gas  is  harmless  but  makes  the  soldiers  wish  they  had  stayed  at  home. 
Shyne  is  the  leader  of  the  famous  Science  Trio,  the  other  members  of  which 
are:  William  Chase,  the  entomologist,  and  James  Lynch,  the  physicist.  Most 
of  their  researches  are  financed  by  Thomas  Thornton,  the  famous  philan- 
thropist. 

And  here  is  more  news  from  Massachusetts.  The  new  Warner  Bros, 
picture,  "Meet  the  Husband",  starring  Dorothea  Duffy  and  Jack  Hepburn, 
has  not  been  allowed  in  Massachusetts  on  account  of  the  violent  language 
it  contains.  The  censorship  is  due  largely  to  an  appeal  by  the  Rev.  Roger  P. 
Flaherty  and  the  state  censor,  Robert  Holman.  The  latter  was  so  shocked  at 
the  picture  that  he  got  up  and  walked  out. 

Dorothy:  And  here  is  a  picture  of  the  Rev.  Roger  P.  Flaherty  himself, 
with  two  of  the  parish  Sunday  School  teachers,  Mr.  Ralph  Surrette  and  Mr. 
Philip  McKeown. 

It  seems  that  Massachusetts  is  beginning  to  produce  the  greatest  movie 
stars  now.  In  addition  to  Dorothea  Duffy  and  Jack  Hepburn,  there  is  Louise 
Mazzola,  who  started  by  making  Betty  Boop  pictures.  Mary  Hayes  is  her  maid 
on  and  off  the  screen.  Then  there  are  Alphonse  Janavich,  who  is  now  in  the 
position  left  vacant  by  Clark  Gable  and  Robert  Taylor,  and  Dorothy  Sherman, 
who  started  as  a  chorus  girl. 

Joseph:  Enough  for  Hollywood.  I  wonder  if  we  shall  have  room  for 
this  account  of  the  Nelson-Ross  Circus  and  Carnival.  I  saw  it  and  I  know  it's 
worth  seeing. 

Dorothy:  I  saw  it  too.  Strange  to  say,  the  Norwoodites  again  seem  to 
be  the  chief  stars:  Dorothy  Franklin,  Louise  Balboni,  and  Joe  Billotta  are  the 
motorcycle  stars,  and  Kitty  Folan  is  the  great  auto  racer.  Outside  the  Side 
Show  tent  was  Frank  Barrett,  yelling  till  the  tents  quivered.  There  were  other 
Norwoodites  whom  I  cannot  remember. 

Joseph:  Well,  Marty  Kelly  sold  tickets,  Harold  Margeson  made  the 
posters,  Fred  Grosso  and  George  Tomm  fed  the  animals,  and  Everett  Pyne 
sold  balloons.  That's  about  all. 

Dorothy:    The  animal  trainer  looked  familiar. 

Joseph:  Oh,  yes!  That  was  Dick  Adelmann.  Let's  take  the  radio  page 
next. 

Dorothy:  The  famous  radio  comedian,  Tom  Hopkins,  has  a  new  sponsor, 
Romeo  Valero,  president  of  the  Dodo  Lollypop  Firm.  The  former  sponsor 
was  Kathryn  Saulen  of  the  Lady  Saulen  Face  Powder  Co.  The  program  is  ex-

tended  to  a  full  hour  and  has  many  new  personalities:  master  of  ceremonies, 
Thomas  Flaherty;  Norman  Berezin's  swing  orchestra;  including  the  "Mad 
Drummers",  (Catherine  McLean  and  Robert  Zoboli;  the  vocal  harmonizing 
duet,  Charles  Jones  and  Henry  Nordblom;  the  tap-dancer,  Lena  Jankoski, 
who  taps  on  the  table  with  a  pair  of  shoes  on  her  hands;  the  cowgirl  yodellers, 
Angelina  Lorusso  and  Barbara  Marvas;  that  master  of  dialect,  Stanley  Barylak 
and  the  torch  and  blues  singers,  Caroline  Tomm,  Sadie  Thomas,  and  Sarah 
Kelley.  Martin  Barylak  sits  with  the  orchestra  and  is  paid  five  dollars  a  laugh. 

Joseph:  In  the  field  of  music,  too,  Norwood  has  furnished  many  celeb- 
rities. In  opera  there  are  Wanda  Kotak,  Ellen  Welch,  and  Howard  Blasenak. 
Lillian  Karki  and  Jeanette  Gerosso  are  with  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra, 
and  Elizabeth  Glancy,  the  famous  pianist,  is  giving  lessons. 

Dorothy:  Next  comes  the  sport  page.  Sports  writer  Arthur  Early  and 
sports  cartoonist  Vincent  King  do  a  good  job  on  it. 

Joseph:  Edward  Smith  and  Edward  Wenzel,  the  heads  of  a  great  athletic 
association,  are  certain  that  their  club  basketball  team  will  be  undefeated  this 
year.  The  coach  is  Neal  Coughlin,  and  the  star  players  are  Ernest  Gustafson 
and  Ensio  Hurma. 

Dorothy:  The  Olympic  Team  is  celebrating  the  success  of  the  latest 
Olympic  meet.  The  stars  are  Charles  Diggs,  runner;  John  Donnell,  wrestler; 
Dorothy  Heikkila,  skater;  and  Anne  Mike  and  Helen  Simaski,  the  fastest 
women  runners  in  the  country. 

Several  former  Norwood  athletes  are  touring  the  country.  Among  these 
are  Gertude  Minkevitch,  captain  of  the  National  Women's  Champion  Basket- 
ball Team;  Ann  Javasaitis,  tennis  star;  Sammy  Thompson,  golf  champ;  and 
Edward  Trusevitch,  ping-pong  star. 

Joseph:  Peter  Amirault  is  the  star  of  the  Red  Sox  Team.  I  don't  know 
what  this  is  doing  on  the  sport  page,  but  Bob  Plummer,  checker  champ,  and 
Ralph  Conrad,  chess  amateur,  are  playing  exhibition  games  in  Boston.  I 
wonder  who  taught  Ralph  how  to  play  chess.  I  never  could. 

Dorothy:    Now   for   the   Society   Page. 

Joseph:    Goody!  Goody! 

Dorothy:  First  we  have  that  popular  three:  Nancy  Stone,  the  fastest 
driver  in  society;  Ruth  Nutter,  the  most  typical  of  true  femininity;  and  Anne 
Orent,   the  most   sociable. 

Joseph:  What  have  we  about  men?  Ah!  Mr.  Ernest  Muehlberger  enter- 
tained his  friends  Allen  Carlson,  playboy,  and  Mr.  Joseph  Gallagher,  at  after- 
noon tea. 

Dorothy:  A  few  of  our  former  school  friends  are  celebrating  wedding 
anniversaries  this  month.  For  example,  Mrs.  Woodman, — 

Joseph:    Let's  have  the  maiden  names,  please. 

Dorothy:  Mildred  Adametz,  Marion  Ivatts,  Leah  Heikkinen,  and  Jack 
Bayer. 


74  YEAR   BOOK 

Joseph:  That  reminds  me.  Barbara  Keady  and  Emma  Padduck  are  enjoy- 
ing life  as  nuns. 

Dorothy:  Here's  another  article,  Stella  O'Kulovitch,  tap  dancer,  is 
performing  for  charity  at  the  Palace.  And  speaking  of  the  Palace  reminds 
me  that  Thomas  Hynes  is  a  publicity  agent  for  the  Guild  Theatre  in  Norwood. 

Joseph:  I  really  must  go  to  see  Mr.  Edward  Padduck  one  of  these  days. 
He  is  conducting  a  dancing  school  in  Boston.  His  rival,  Alfred  DeFlaminis, 
recently  won   a  cup   for  dancing. 

Dorothy:  I  know  you  won't  be  interested,  but  here  are  some  facts  about 
feminine  school  friends  of  ours:  Anne  O'Toole,  head  of  the  Red  Cross,  has 
just  returned  from  Geneva;  Jean  Adamonis,  Priscilla  Badger,  and  Clare  Har- 
rington are  touring  the  country,  lecturing  on  the  value  of  education;  Mary 
Dwane  is  exploring  the  wilds  of  Africa.  A  new  record  was  almost  established 
by  Margaret  Gilson,  noted  aviatrix,  in  her  round-the-world  flight.  Another 
aviatrix  is  Beatrice  Johnson,  who  has  just  flown  to  the  South  Sea  Isles  with 
her  boy  friend. 

Joseph:  Now  here  is  an  article  worth  reading.  Mr.  Nicholas  Mike  enter- 
tained his  friend  John  Zabrowski  at  luncheon  at  his  home,  the  Chateau  of  Blois. 
Also  present  was  Prince  Phillip  Anderson. 

Dorothy:    That  is  all  there  is  of  importance  on  the  society  page. 

Next  we  have  two  whole  pages  on  "Interesting  People".  First  there  is 
Lloyd  Murray,  who  edits  the  puzzle  page  in  a  teachers'  magazine,  and  still 
keeps  the  pedagogues  puzzled. 

Joseph:  That  reminds  me  of  another  columnist — Leon  Rasanen,  who 
writes  for  a  men's  magazine.  His  article  is  "How  to  Be  Charming". 

Dorothy:  Several  teachers  and  professors  have  developed  from  the 
class  of  193  7.  For  instance,  Mr.  John  Burns  is  now  a  teacher  of  languages,  and 
Miss  Anne  Medvesky  is  a  teacher  of  history — both  in  Norwood  High  School. 
Miss  Edna  Laffey  teaches  stenography  at  Burdett  College,  Miss  Amelia  Stankie- 
wicz  teaches  in  grammar  school,  and  Miss  Geraldine  Henry  conducts  kinder- 
garten classes. 

Joseph:  Don't  forget  Mr.  Charles  Daly.  He  is  now  president  of  Morse 
Hill  Prep. 

Dorothy:  That  ingenious  mathematician,  Mr.  George  Lee,  said  that  if 
all  the  teachers  were  laid  end  to  end  across  the  Atlantic  Ocean, 

Joseph:  I've  been  thinking  of  that  myself,  but  I've  lost  hope.  How  did 
you  enjoy  your  vacation? 

Dorothy:  I  visited  Massachusetts  and  found  many  of  our  old  classmates 
there.  When  my  car  broke  down,  Roy  Johnson  came  along  and  had  it  fixed 
in  a  jiffy.  He  still  drives  around  in  an  old  1939  model.  Did  you  know  that 
we  have  six  engineers  from  our  class?  Neimo  Lammi  is  a  civil  engineer, 
Frederick  Frueh  is  a  radio  engineer,  Bernard  Chubet  and  Joseph  Burnham 
are  engineers  in  a  dye  factory  and  cotton  mill  respectively,   and  Joseph  Ros- 


CLASS  OF    1937  75 

lauskas  and  John  Kelley  are  engineers  with  the  New  York,  New  Haven  and 
Hartford  R.  R. 

Joseph:  I  traveled  through  the  central  states  during  my  vacation.  Out  in 
Missouri  I  met  Bernard  Cornelia,  who  is  now  a  successful  farmer.  I  stepped 
into  a  lunch  room  for  a  glass  of  milk  and  found  that  the  proprietor  was  Robert 
O'Brien.  He  entertained  his  customers  by  reciting  selections  from  Cicero  and 
Virgil.  Other  successful  business  men  are  Bartley  Curran  and  Max  Lechter, 
who  are  now  prosperous  merchants.  And  that  reminds  me — where  are  the 
business  women  you  prophesied  would  develop  from  our  class? 

Dorothy.  They're  all  over  the  country.  Ann  Kodis,  for  example,  owns 
a  "Dress  Shoppe"  in  New  England.  The  designer  is  Dorothy  Tweddle  and 
the  mannikins  are  Louise  Drummey,  Helen  Bowles,  and  Joan  Kelley.  Her 
chief  competitors  are  Ruth  Reynolds  and  Bronsie  Rudvilovitch  and  there  is 
Rita  Monbouquette  who  works  in  a  panic. 

Joseph:    Let's  finish  these  pages  on  "Interesting  People". 

Dorothy:  You  asked  for  business  women,  and  you'll  get  them.  Next 
there  are  those  inseparable  two — Virginia  Dauderis  and  Elsie  Daniels,  who 
work  in  the  Municipal  Building  in  Norwood.  With  them  work  Barbara  Stonis 
and  Grace  Elisher.  And  you  know  the  four  girls  who  forgot  their  shyness  and 
became  traveling  saleswomen:  Mary  Devine,  Lucy  Dowidauskas,  Hazel 
Burton  and  Minnie  Braverman. 

Joseph:  I  ought  to  know  them!  They  sold  me  a  carload  of  toys  and 
were  gone  before  I  could  say  a  word.  Now  I  suppose  I'll  have  to  get  married 
after  all. 

Dorothy:  You  shouldn't  worry.  Marie  Curran  and  Mary  Margaret 
Flaherty  are  good  nurses;  and  Ellen  Jacobsen  is  a  good  maid.  And  you  may 
be  interested  to  know  that  Mary  Russetti  is  an  heiress. 

Joseph:  You  forget  that  we  haven't  finished  this  page  on  "Interesting 
People"  yet.  Let's  see  now;  John  Ruggiero  is  making  use  of  the  experience 
he  gained  while  delivering  papers.  He's  a  milkman  now. 

Dorothy:  And  here's  a  picture  of  Olive  Boyd  climbing  an  electric  pole. 
She's  a  fine  electrician. 

Joseph:  So  are  William  Cobb  and  William  Harding;  only  they  don't 
climb  poles.  Cobb  lives  in  Walpole  now. 

Dorothy:  I  saw  Mary  Lydon,  who  is  looking  for  a  job.  She  says  that 
Ruth  Boulis,  Mary  Ellen  Flaherty,  and  Julia  Notarangelo,  have  been  hired 
by  Bird  &  Son. 

Joseph:  I  hope  Mary  Lydon  finds  a  position.  I'm  not  so  well-off  myself 
since  that  vacation.  I  had  to  resort  to  the  pawn  shop  at  the  corner.  The  pawn 
broker  is  Thomas  Millin.  I  had  to  buy  groceries  from  the  town  grocer,  Henry 
Ussrvitcb,  "on  the  cuff". 

Dorothy:  Some  more  of  the  "Interesting  People"  are  the  air  hostesses, 
Ann    Lindfors    and    Dorothy    O'Kane.    The    latter    is    very    popular    with    the

passengers,  because  she  can  calm  the  children  by  drawing  pictures  for  them. 
And  three  telephone  operators,  Marie  Clapp,  Helen  Sanborn,  and  Jennie 
Starta,  make  extra  money  by  telling  bed  time  stories  over  the  telephone. 
Helen  Treciokas,  as  a  leisure  time  leader,  has  helped  to  make  life  more  pleas- 
ant for  most  people  in  Massachusetts. 

Joseph:  I  was  in  Norwood  just  last  week,  so  I'll  write  an  article  of  my 
own  on  "Pleasing  Personalities".  A  popular  hostess  in  the  great  Norwood 
Hotel  is  Helen  Costello,  who  has  done  much  to  make  the  first  great  hotel  in 
the  town  a  success.  Another  successful  woman  is  Anna  Radzwill,  who  used 
to  be  a  companion  to  a  millionaire's  wife. 

Dorothy:  Did  you  stop  at  Mae  O'Leary's  hot  dog  stand  on  the  state 
highway?  She  makes  the  most  delicious  hot  dogs  I've  ever  tasted. 

Joseph:  I  once  stopped  there  a  little  before  midnight.  I  saw  Ellen  Torpey 
come  in  with  a  load  of  luggage.  She  was  eloping. 

Dorothy:  Einari  just  came  in  and  he  said  that  he  saw  Priscilla  Atwood. 
She  is  a  great  eye  specialist,  you  know. — Where  are  you  going? 

Joseph:  111  have  to  have  my  eyes  examined.  They've  been  sore  for 
a  week.  What  do  you  think  of  this  paper? 

Dorothy:  It's  the  greatest  issue  we've  put  out  yet.  This  will  convince 
Mr.  Hayden  that  our  class  is  a  success,  after  all. 

Joseph:    I  hope  so.

CLASS  OF  '24 


PATRONIZE  OUR  ADVERTISERS 


To  the  Graduating  Class  of  1937 


It  is  customary  for  the  graduating  class  to  be  the  recipient  of 
advice  from  all  angles.  Unfortunately,  it  isn't  given  to  most  of  us  to 
appreciate  the  golden  value  of  advice.  We  seem  to  learn  only  from 
the  bitter  lesson  of  experience,  regretting  in  later  years  the  folly  of 
disregarded  advice  that  may  have  prevented  untold  heart-ache. 

Be  that  as  it  may;  here  is  our  advice  to  those  of  you  who  may 
care  to  read  it;  to  those  who  don't,  well  .  .  .  the  waste-basket  can't 
be  far  away.  Admittedly,  it  may  have  a  trace  of  selfishness  in  it,  for 
after  all,  we  have  an  axe  to  grind.  Forgetting  that  for  the  moment  .  .  . 
a  great  philosopher  once  said  that  the  essentials  of  life  are:  food, 
shelter  and,  clothing.  Our  advice  is  authentically  concerned  with  the 
latter. 

To  be  successful,  one  must  also  look  the  part;  perhaps  we  should 
say,  dress  the  part.  It  is  generally  conceded  by  recognized  authorities, 
that  clothes  not  only  "make  the  man"  but  they  play  an  important  part 
in  this  great  "struggle  for  existence".  The  knowledge  that  you  are 
correctly  groomed  creates  a  feeling  of  self  confidence  and  assurance. 
It  likewise  creates  a  favorable  impression  ...  let  us  say,  a  prospective 
employer   ...    or   customer. 

The  art  of  dressing  is  one  that  cannot  be  minimized;  it  requires 
the  same  amount  of  study  that  is  necessary  in  the  pursuance  of  the 
other  arts.  The  danger  of  over-dressing  .  .  .  wrong  ensembles  .  .  .  wrong 
color  schemes  present  ever-present  pitfalls.  In  Father's  generation  it 
was  a  ritual  to  keep  the  shoes  shined  and  the  hair  combed;  but  in  this 
era  of  a  style  conscious  world,  this  is  hardly  enough. 

May  we  be  allowed  to  add  to  our  sincere  congratulations  the 
thought  that  we  can  help  you  materially  in  laying  the  ground-work  for 
this    important    "art"? 

Sincerely  yours,
