His West Point classmates recall: "This smiling lad came to us from the Golden State with an unusual proficiency in tennis and hockey. Norm has shown many of us what cool thinking and grim determination can do. He has mastered all, be it with academics, athletics, or with the fairer sex. A good product of West Point, but still retaining some of that California sunshine, our conquering hero enters the lists well equipped." During his cadet days Norm played Tennis and Hockey all four years, he was with the Chess and German Clubs his yearling year and was a Cadet Sergeant his first class year. On graduation Norm went in the Artillery and after completing the Basic Artillery Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma reported to his first duty station.
