Mr. Norman was taken to hospital, last Monday, with pneumonia. A heart condition had previously required his taking a year's leave of absence from the school, but he had resumed his duties as principal, since last September. Born in Kitchener, Mr. Norman was the son of the late Lambert Norman and the former Mary Mason. His father had been a public school inspector in this area for many years.

He was also a member of the New Hope Masonic lodge, Hespeler and a life member of the Hespeler Kinsmen club. He had served on the Victorian Order of Nurses board and contributed much towards minor hockey locally, having acted as secretary of that organization for a number of years. THE SURVIVORS
      Surviving are his widow, the former Mary Atkinson and two hildren, John James, who is attending McMaster University, Hamilton and Mrs. Wilfrid From (Patricia) of Hespeler. There are two grandchildren, John and Susan From. Also surviving are a brother, Ralph Norman of Toronto and two sisters, Mrs. Robert King (Isabel), of Toronto and Mrs. Cedric Stuart (Connie) of Galt.
