1945 Norwester
Dedication: To Mr. Charles G. Burns, our principal, whom we
hold in high esteem, we dedicate this “Norwester.”
Foreward: The producers of the Norwester have
attempted this year to present the year’s activities
realistically. We portray for you with camera, brush, and pen
the events and associations of the year as you have known and
enjoyed them.
For many of you, this will be a record of your last year in
high school, a year which will mark both an end and a
beginning in life. For others, it will be a chronicle of your
first or second year in Northwestern and will inspire you in
the year to you.
We have done out best. We hope that this Norwester
will preserve for you, whoever you are and wherever you may
go, the hours of study and good times spent here under the
guidance of Northwestern.
