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
11
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.

YEAR BOOK
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.
16
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!

YEAR BOOK
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.
Joseph J. Pazniokas '37
• 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.

• 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.

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"

• 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.
Signed: The Class of 193 7

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 OF 1937
71
• 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-
CLASS OF 1937 73
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
76 YEAR BOOK
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.

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,
ORENT BROTHERS, Inc.
