Terence Marriott

I have to say I did not graduate from Norland, but met some intersting and good people. Coming from New York in september of 1984 and seeing the school spirit in reference to football games, pep rallies and the battle of the bands were truly memorable. Even though I was the outsider being from New York, I returned to my home state at the end of my junior year at norland in 1985. I kept in contact from time to time with my friend stacina jones who from the beginning welcomed me into the school. It just so happened stacina's mother taught my cousin at the junior high school down the block in addition to her parents attending church with my aunt. so over the years we kept in contact. FYI my couins Gary Sampson and Angela Boreland graduated from norland in 1986

Entering the school for the first time in Sept 1985, my first class was english. confused on how to get to class because I was not familiar with the layout of the school I got to my english class late by 20 minutes. Who would of known that entering the class I was assigned to one of the hardest english teachers --Ms termine aka ms. termiantor. As I entered the class decked out in baby blue izod shirt, baby blue lee jeans, baby blue suede adidas blue yankee cap and jacket I was stared upon and notice the class was quiet, all eyes staring at me. As I felt freshly dipped in my ny style of wear, the rest of the class was probaly saying whose this character. I even say my cousin angela boreland whom I didn't even know was going to be in the class hid her head down into the table after ms. termine asked me if I had any family member I know in the class. Taken back a bit by angela trying to be incognito I told ms termine "yeah my cousin angela over there." I believed ms termine made me feel comfortable a bit because she pulled me to the side to tell me she also was from new york-williamsburg brooklyn. That first day I remember like yesterday.
