Everyone enjoys music and we, the Class of 1955, want to have music the theme of our yearbook. As we look back on our years at NHS, we think of thrill packed football games and we hear the march, Down Down the Field. We think of pep sessions and hear The Bleacher Boogie or the Fight Song. Then as our last year draws to a close, each of us hears the Alma Mater and as its melodic strains touch our ears, we realize what NHS means to us . . . Music waves eternal wands. Norwich High School is located on West Main Street. Here it is viewed from Guernsey Park.

Anderson in grateful appreciation for all that he has done for us and Norwich High School. He is Biology and General Science teacher. His room, which is a fascinating place, is usually filled with students who receive aid and encouragement when they come to him for help in their problems. Mr. Anderson is also a conservation adviser. Through his eilorts and the eilorts of others, Norwich High School has today an excellent conservation park. Hillcrest Park is one of the finest in the state. A teacher and a friend, Mr. Anderson will long be remembered by his students. Their best wishes will always be with him. 4 Mr. Anderson with the aid of Gertrude lectures a Biology Class. Administration, Faculty, and Staff Thanks for the Memory 5 Principal R. L. Hogue glances up from some work as we enter his office. Mr. Russell L. Hogue assumed the princi- palship of Norwich High School in 1928 after six years of experience as teacher and administrator in New Jersey and New York State Schools. NHS has grown a great deal under his guidance. The building housing the gym and home economics rooms was con- structed, the music department added two members to its staff, the commercial and vo- cational departments enlarged, and Hillcrest Park was purchased to cite only a few ex- amples. In March we learned that Mr. Hogue planned to retire after twenty-seven years as Norwich High School Principal. To most of us the announcement seemed unreal and cata- clysmic. We couldnit imagine Norwich High School without him! We felt better when we learned that he was not leaving Norwich, but was rather purchasing The Nash and Spencer Store. We would like to wish Mr. Hogue success and happiness in his new undertaking on behalf of ourselves and the more than twenty-eight hundred students who have at- tended Norwich High School during the years he was principal. 1.

Sincerely A guiding hand so strong, friends firm and true, our teachers to them we owe something we can never repay. They have helped us grow up, to realize responsibilities and how to face them. They have taken us as strug- gling Freshmen and given us four years of patience and understanding. They are fine people. NHS is fortunate to have such teachers as ours. They are always willing to cooperate. We also want to thank the cafeteria staff who fed us when We jammed into the cafeteria in need of some food. Also thanks to the service stall who were wonderful about keeping the school open for evening rehearsals of plays, band practice or club meetings. Left: GUIDANCE DIRECTORS-Miss M. Stewart and Mr. R.

Tribute To NHS By Phyllis Carpenter Where shall I go? What shall I do? These were the questions soon answered by you. In your halls I stood a mere child, And, seeing my innocence, you smiled. As I travelled along lifels rocky road, Often neglecting to follow the code, I noticed that your smile-bright at the start- Crew dim when I stubbornly did not do my part. But the years went, oh, much too swiftly by And as they progress'd, why so did I! So that when graduation day finally came I could face life's decisions without any shame. So though I am leaving your belov'd halls And entering a world of many pitfalls, I 'll always remember your brow crownad with light And you, Alma Mater, will not leave my sight. HONOR STUDENTS-Seated: C. Smith, R. Masterson, Salutatorian: H. Winter. Valedictorian: M. Burr. Saluta- During their second year in NHS under the guidance of Mrs. Christman, the class chose Harry Winter to lead them, while Julia Brunton, ,loan Gennosa, and Joseph Famolaro were chosen respectively as Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. A magazine sale was held with the purpose of filling the class coffers. Patsy Manley was high salesman.

Last year the class again chose Harry Win- ter as prexy. Beth Burr was named Vice President and Joan Cennosa and Joseph Famolaro repeated as Secretary and Treas- urer. Mr. Giltner acted as advisor. The major money-raising project was another magazine sale with top honors going to Wil- liam Olmstead. The Class of 1955 spon- sored Cai Paree, the Junior Prom, under the chairmanship of James Dunne. At Christmas candy was presented to the Juniors by Santa Clausi' Chiarino and his helpers. At the beginning of second semester, honor students were announced by Mr. Hogue at an assembly. Harry Winter was Valedic- torian and Beth Burr and Richard Masterson shared Salutatory honors with identical averages. The Production of the Year was The Curi- ous Savage di1'ected hy Miss Adams. Finally the class closed the year by select- ing the class poem, HTribute to NHS, the class motto, No legacy is so rich as honesty, the class flower, the yellow rose, and the colors, black and gold. Gerard Zimmerman and Robert lVlonoghan wrote the 4'Address to the Undergraduatesf' The HClass Songi' was composed by Jean Nazzitto, Jeanette Mac- Ewen, Barbara Tracy and Clara Casamento. Class Day preparations were then completed. Memories During the summer, ten gals and two guys worked in co-operation with the Athletic De- partment soliciting ads for the football pro- grams. In the fall they distributed programs to advertisers and sold them at the games. Profits were shared by the class and athletic department. Quick! Get this typed up. Where is that picture? We need another story. The dead- line is tomorrow. Under the advisorship of Miss Doherty, who really worked hard and helped us throughout the production, the seniors struggled to complete the 1955 Ar- chive. Everyone, even the underclassmen co- operated with the Archive Staff. Bradley .Paxton toolf and printed many pictures and others ran errands and did odd jobs to help us. - f ' PROGRAM SALESMEN-First Row: B. Burr, P. Bates, J. Gennosa, E. Burtl. Second Row: M. Reed. A.

BR, MA Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1955 W e, the most of the most, the best of the best, the Class of 1955, having complete mental faculties, being in perfect physical condition, bequeath the following items to those unfortunates f?j who have to invade the hallowed hall C207j next semester. Our first bequest: to the school we leave an installation of bars Qfor the windowsj to pro- tect humanity from next year's onslaught. To the teachers we oiler our deepest sympathy, having the ill fortune of having to put up with the underclassmen. To our dear Miss Stewart: a year's supply of insect repellent to ward off the leech-like bugs we know exist in next year's array of seniors. To the ever capable coaching staff we leave the impossible hope of better or more athletic- like Seniors than MUS. To the Uncle of Geometry, Mr. Borowicz, we leave a jar of sedatives for his trials and tribulations in next year's 6th bell study hall. Judy Brunton leaves Miss Stewart another headache: LOUIE l Addie Chiarino wills his Santa Claus suit to any round-aboutv junior. Gus Beldin leaves his driver's license to Jim O'Connor or Jerry Bartlett and suggests that they be given another chance for a test. To Judy McCormick, Eva Ryan leaves a bottle of H202 and she says, Finish the job. WOLI..Y Oops, Willy Bresee leaves his muscles to anyone with enough ambition to go up to Hillcrest and throw a few logs around. Ang and Beth leave a gallon of gas to anyone who needs it-fto get back to schoolj. Joe Famalaro leaves his draft card to any junior boy Q18 or overj wishing a pass to any first-class eating establishments. Brownini Jackson wills one hundred copies of his latest publication, THATS MY LINE to any interested, male underclassmen. fAutographed toolj Ron Balcom gladly leaves seat No. 1 to any junior who wants to be first in everything. No kidding! Nancy Conklin leaves Peppy Aloi a foot of height that she has to spare. Mike Schofield f'4Hajji j leaves a pass key to the towel cabinet so the girls can have a good crying jag when he leaves. THE GIRLS in the Class of '55 will a free bus line from Norwich to Oneonta to make com- munications easier. Sir .James Boyce leaves his shotgun to Bob Georgia so he can bag a few of the rabbits he shoots at. Full rights are left to Addie's Heaven and Zimmy's Hideaway if anyone desires these ideal f?j locations. Seriously, the Class Will Committee, on behalf of the Class of 1955 wishes the best of luck and health to all the underclassmen. With one final comment I close this MASTERPIECE?

Because of centralization, this year the 7th and 8th grades were represented. One of the Student Councilis projects was the Homecoming game. Beth Burr was crowned Homecoming Queen. Judy Brunton and Phyllis Bates were maids of honor. The polio drive, under the direction of the general chairmen, Dick Masterson and Peg O'Connor, met the quota of SL700. At the end of the year the annual Activity Dinner, in which awards are given, proved to be very successful. Next year the council has plans to sponsor a foreign student.

Thirty-five students have received loans, which have amounted to 312,000 The fund's current worth is 39,984-.82. The loans are secured by notes signed by parents or other responsible people. There is no interest on the loans for 2 years following graduation. This plan is under a trusteeship com- posed of the Superintendent, Principal of the High School, and the Guidance Director.

They put the finishing touches on the marching routines of the band. They participate with the band at football games, parades, and at competi tion. In the winter these gals do not rest they combine their talent with the majorettes and put on colorful twirling exhibitions be tween half-times at basketball games. The colorguard also adds to the band's treasury by having sandwich sales, and occa sionally sponsoring a dance. At band con certs they help with the ticket sales and usher ing. They do an all around good job of add ing spirit to the band and to the school. I Love a Parade! The shrill of a whistle-the flash of batons -the roar of the crowd assure us of the pres- ence of the majorettes. Led by Drum Ma- jorette, Kay Reihl, and head majorette, Kay Miller, the peppy majorettes really high step it down the street in front of the band. With their tricky steps and baton twirling they add sparkle and glamour to the band. Besides performing at half-time at the football games, they also perform at basketball games. Last year three girls, Kay Reihl, Kay Miller, and Sally Crawley, won first prize in the competi- tion which goes to show that these gals are experts. MAJORETTES-K. Reihl, Drum Majorg K.

A Star ls Born On April twenty-second and twenty-third, the Thespians produced one of the most unique plays ever presented in the Norwich High School Auditorium. Mr. James Couden, new club advisor, directed the drama. The play, The Night of January Sixteenth by Ann Rand, was the trial of the woman, Karen Andre Ueanette Fullerj, for the murder of her ex-employer, Bjorn Faulkner, whom she supposedly pushed from the roof of his pent- house apartment. The most unique feature of the play was that the stage was part of the courtroom, while the rest of the auditorium represented the section of the courtroom where the observers at any trial would sit. The audience was the panel from which the jurors were drawn, and this panel, selected at random, actually decided the verdict in the case. All witnesses in the cast also were seated in the audience. Outstanding per- formances were turned in by Donna Master- son, who played the victim,s wife, Jack Bene- dict as Judge Heath, Errol Jacobi, District Attorney Flintg and Ralph Jones, Defense Attorney Stevens. Earlier in the year dramatics helped the Music Departments in the staging of the op- eretta, Harmony Hall. In addition to this the department helped in staging and lighting assembly programs and with other programs held in the auditorium during the year. Quite a number of the members of the Dra- matics Club earned their hundred Thespian hoursg many probationers also became full- fledged club members by working out twenty hours of dramatics work.

This year's dance was probably the nicest in many years, and certainly one of the most well-attended. The music of Freddy Miller,s orchestra led to the further enchant- ment of the atmosphere. Not quite as breath-taking in splendor, but equally entertaining to the students was the Sadie Hawkins' Dance last November, also an annual event of the Booster-Uppers. The 'cgirl-ask-boyl' idea behind the affair always proves novel and refreshing, and the Dog- patch setting deserves special commendation. Last, but not least, there's the Spring Stomp held in May-a perfect way to usher in the season of youth and joy!

Meeting weekly, the council planned pep sessions, censored pep programs sponsored by other organiza- tions and held a dance. Results of their work were most evident in the seventh and eighth grades where they held pep programs and taught the students the school cheers and songs. Consequently in- terest in sports was increased. We will help! With this slogan on every poster and on the lips of every Red Cross Representative, the Junior Red Cross launched its campaign early in the year. After a very successful drive, it did not rest but began immediately the job of filling Christmas boxes for overseas children. Rep- resentatives also collected hangers for the Welfare Department. ln addition to this they sponsored a dance to obtain much needed funds. PEP COUNCIL-Seated: P. Carpenter, D J. Brunton, B.

The Boys, Athletic Council is composed of boys, representing all sports, who meet cer- tain membership requirements. First on the CounciI's list of duties is the awarding of letters in all sports. Besides act- ing as the governing body in the boys' sports program, the council raises money by oper- ating a concession stand at all basketball games and selling baseball season tickets.

Down, Down the Field The NHS gridders, after stumbling through a rugged start that dropped their record to one win and three losses, fought their way to a tie for second place in the Iroquois League. Led by Captain Tony Vellake, the Purple and White had squared away their record at four wins and four losses by the end of the season. After being stunned by a rugged Whites- boro squad 7-19, the Purple Tornado was beaten by the undefeated Vestal Bulldogs 0-13. 'T f ' ' ' The gridders rolled over winless Little Falls 33-0, but in the Herkimer game they were shocked by a first quarter touchdown pass and were defeated 7-0. Norwich returned to its winning ways with decisive victories over llion 31-0 and Cort- land 28-6. Mohawk invaded Norwich with confidence of an easy victory, but the NHS squad fought with great vigor and a tremendous amount of spirit to hold the undefeated league leaders to a 6-7 victory. Oneonta fans came to Norwich in droves, but returned home after we had rolled over the team 34-6. At the annual Football Banquet Butch Ma- gistro was named captain of the 1955 squad.
