The following committee was appointed:
Hon. F. O. Winslow John F. Callahan Willard Dean
Hon. F. A. Fales Abbie V. Murphy Susie T. Wheelock
James M. Folan Harriet E. Williamson William F. Baker
The historic dates relating to the subject under consideration are:
February 23, 1872, at which time the Act of Incorporation was approved.
March 6, 1872, the date of the formal acceptance of the Act by the Citizens of the New Town assembled.
March 11, 1872, the date of the first Town Meeting and election of Town Officers by ballot.
Having given the subjects careful consideration,
The Committee recommend that Sunday, February 26, 1922, be re- membered in gratitude to God for His manifest Providence and signal blessings to this Community during past years.
It recommends that greetings be sent to the resident clergy of the town calling attention to that date and its rich significance for public sermon and address.
The Committee recommends that the Anniversary of the Incorporation of the town be publicly observed on some evening in March by appropriate exercises.
In view of the extraordinary growth of the schools of Norwood from the beginning when two schoolhouses and nine teachers with membership of 373 pupils and an appropriation of $6500 represented the conditions the first year, the Committee recommends that some appropriate celebration of the semi-centennial along educational lines be held to insure a greater interest in school buildings, the training of the pupils, and a possible re- union of those who have been teachers or graduates from the former years.
In view of the inclement weather in winter and the limited indoor accommodation for public gatherings, the Committee recommends that a Grand Public Commemorative celebration be held out-of-doors in early summer with appropriate exhibits, sports and other exercises which may be open and enjoyable to all our township, expressing the spirit of loyalty, fellowship community life and good will, and further recommends that the Selectmen take appropriate action to carry out these recommendations.
