JAMES JOSEPH GORMLEY entered the service of the Norwood Public Schools on September 7, 1932. Until death took him from us on April 15, 1960, he devoted his life and energy to the youth of Norwood and to the school work he loved so much.
Jim Gormley worked long and well for our community. As a teacher and Faculty Manager of Athletics, he was admired by students, parents, fellow teachers and administrators. The popular educator will be long remembered by all who knew him.
In the light of his faithful, tireless efforts as an outstanding educator and citizen of Norwood, We, the Members of the Norwood School Committee, resolve that this statement shall be copied for public announcement and that a special copy be sent to his family.
