Homecoming week- end, the council's first activity of the year proved to be very successful in spite of the rain. The March of Dimes, a charity service that the council performs for the community surpassed its goal of 31800. Among its other activities, the council sponsored a courtesy week, ushers and leads the flag salute for the assemblies and took charge of work day which is held each year to raise money for the student loan fund. The council invited students from the southern tier area to attend the annual spring conference which was held here at N.H.S. Brad Paxton served as General Chairman for the affair. Many problems of student government were discussed and solutions suggested.

In january, seven seniors and nine juniors were inducted on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, character, and service, at a formal assembly ceremony, which was followed by an informal initiation and a dinner and dance in honor of the new members. The students are chosen on a combined student-faculty ballot yearly in an effort to distinguish the students possessing the necessary qualifications for membership. Some of the Chi Alpha activities this year included a dance, sponsoring a pep session, and publishing the student handbook. The pep council has done much to pro- mote school spirit during the past year. Under the capable leadership of President, Jeannette Fuller, and advisor, Mr. Giltner, they have sponsored buses to the basketball games, organized pep sessions, the sale of football pins and many more pep promoting activities. Through the efforts of the Pep Council, the spirit of Norwich has been kept at its peak. -,- .,- X, - Morgenstein, S. Bartlett, B. Paxton. l 1 'fs' YF-Ll X 2oca6-4- gem!

Two radio programs were put on by the radio workshop, one of which introduced the new teacher to the community. They sponsored a dance during football season which brought in untold revenue. The entire school was delighted with the Christmas Pageant which was presented at an assembly. A Double-barreled Detective Story was the notorious title of the Spring Play which was also a great success. The senior play was helped immeasurably by the aid given it by the seventh bell Dramatics Class. They made all the props for the Senior Dramatics Presenta- tion, Time Out for Ginger.

The Booster Upper's, under the guidance of Mr. MacMullen, is an active club primarily organized to promote school spirit and good feeling among students. During football season many rally shakers were made and passed out among the students. In November, the annual Sadie Hawkins had a great turnout, and December brought the Christmas Formal with Fred Miller's Orchestra. As spring came rolling around, so did the annual Spring Stomp with its many pastel colors. All these activities, sponsored by this very active club, tended to boort general school enthusiasm. . f ,tm tie 70oad44de fi Jw l i v I' i T' pail Bottom row, left to right: W. Belmore, G.

In May they held their annual spring concert and also did their part in the combined concert. 2446 7: Zap cgi: ' KZWWX Hewett, B. Paul. v R. Chorley, D. Grosvenor M Sheldon, M. Johnson, J.

Coach. The 1955 edition of the Purple Tornado compiled a 5-3 record. This is not the greatest won and lost slate ever posted at Norwich High, but it was a good season. The season opener with Whitesboro proved a dismal failure for the Purple. Abraham, Whites- boro's great fullback, was too much for the Norwich defense to contain. The Tornado jolted a highly rated Vestal eleven, cutting off a two year win streak over the Purple. Norwich rolled over a vastly im- proved Little Falls next in impressive style. Herkimer and Illion also fell victims of the Purple's mid- season stride. Cortland avenged six straight defeats at the hands of the Purple Gridmen and crushed Norwich in a twilight contest. By defeating Mohawk, the '55 team became the first Norwich football team to beat the Orange and Black. In the heartbreaking finale, Capt. Magistro and his team mates bowed for the first time in thirteen years to the Yellow- jackets of Oneonta. This game could have meant the League crown for Coach Beyer's boys and it was to the dismay of every Norwichite present that we lost 6-0. The Luke White Memorial award for the Most valuable player was presented to Capt. Butch Magistro. Steve Bartlett received the DiStefano award for the most outstanding lineman, and Duane Fraiser was awarded the trophy for the most improved player.

This was mainly due to the low number of boys who went out for the sport. Hardly more than 25 boys reported on the opening day and the number decreased sizably. Also, there were only four contests in which we could participate. The few boys who stayed for the whole season, were not very big, but there was still plenty of scrap in the outfit. Levi Brown and Dick Snow were elected co-captains at the end of the season. 2-.w new 'el' ' ., H, ,5 .a 1-'.,.

Captain Ken Stewart led the Purple and White Basketball squad from an average Sectional GamesANorwich 60 Watertown 58-Lots of action! 9-8 season to the Section 3 Championship. During the regular season, the Tornado was known as the spoiler because of its ability to win the big ones and loss the small ones. Never the less, the Purple placed second in the Iroquois League behind leading Little Falls. In the final contest of the season play, Oneonta defeated Norwich points. The Smithmen gained revenge by downing the Blue and Gold in the Sectionals. In its trip to the Championship Norwich downed such upstate powers as prefavorite, Whitesboro, and Watertown, In the finals, the Purple basketeers turned back a determined West Canada, 40539. Coach Smith, the team's new mentor, deserves much of the credit for this great victory with his cool-headedness throughout the season. Surely, no new coach ever enjoyed or merited a more successful first season. Capt. Stewart displayed a poise and calmness that pulled many a contest out of the fire. The magnificent rebounding and shooting of Charlie Townsend and Fred Swertfager also shook loose quite a few ball-games. The clutch hitting Wayne Adams and field generalship of sharp shooting Ted Kerley kept the opponents off balance. The sixth man on the first string, Fran Caravaglio, when substituted, gave his all and that was always better than most. All in all it was a treat ear. er at i sz 4 iw fA X NHS ........................ .... 8 6 Oneida .,...... .. .... .... . ...62 72 Richfield Springs ,........ .53 52 NHS ,,,,,..,.,.,...,.......... ...,, NHS ,...,................. .....,...

Norwich unwittingly used an ineligible player, therefore, their two previously won games were forfeited to Oneonta and Walton. Under the reins of Coach Ray Borowicz, Norwich officially had a league record of seven wins and three losses. In non-league games Walton and Oxford fell before the might of the Purple Batmen. The highlights of the year were provided by two strong right-handers, Fred Swertfager and Charlie Townsend. Each fired two no-hitters and shared in another. The team lost some outstanding players in Captain Bob Fierro, joe Famalaro, Bruce Jones, Muzzy Hill, and Dennis Doyle, however, an experienced list of veterans are available for the 1956 campaign. At the end of the season, Bob Fierro was awarded the Stott trophy for the most valuable player, Fred Swertfager and Charlie Townsend were elected co-captains for 1956.

The really big meet, however, came when the Beyer-men beat Oneonta, 53 to 51, after dropping three of its four league meets.

Ml The Sophomore Class, headed this year by Kent Mc' Garity, has emerged from its Freshman greenness with a great deal of vigor and enthusiasm. Under the advisorship of Mrs. Christman, the Sophs made a good profit on their magazine sale to help defray their next year's expenses. The pep session they staged accented their spirit and aggressive- ness. Their future leadership is indicated by the fact that the majority of the first string V. players are Sophs. MRS.

The vigorous, high stepping Class of 1957, led by capable Wayne Adams will soon be knocking on the door of 207. This class has proceeded through the years leaving behind examples of good sportsmanship, cooperation, and success. The activities which take place in 206 are reported more than satisfactory. The Junior Class in the annual magazine sale earned 3570, which is the highest amount ever recorded in N.H.S. Sharon Anderson, their high salesman, earned 5135. Other events scheduled on the juniors calendar this year were the junior Prom, I junior-Senior Picnic, and the Senior Banquet. Our time is near.

In doing so, however, it must be acknowledged to all that these remembrances, considered by most as small and trivial, are numbered amongst our most prized possessions. Realizing that these youngsters of the junior Class, in all their simplicity, freshness, enthusiasm, and a fine guileless inaptitude of all worldly affairs, and also members of the N.H.S. staff would be forever grateful for a mere thought of considera- tion from anyone so filled with worldly knowledge as a member of our Senior Class, we in our departure, would like to leave these few sentimental gems, knowing that they will long be prided and remembered by all. To Peg Monaghan Birdie Lewis wishes to leave one of her most admired gemsg her ukulele with three broken strings. To Ted Kerley, Bill Ackerman leaves his polished, smooth, technique to aid him in coming endeavors. To any unlucky prospective varsity cheerleader, Brenda Beyer leaves her unequaled? cartwheel?? To Dick Wilson, Marv Morgenstein leaves an extra sharp Gillette blue blade for future use. To any polite young junior driver, Marg Testa leaves an automatic steering wheel with an electric eye and much Higher seat for the driver training car. To Bruce Snover, john Kirby leaves his quiet little horn in remembrance of that night in B.M.'s old jalopy. To Bunky Spadoro, a fellow bop lover and jitter bugger, Beakey Fraser leaves his most recent invention: a pair of rubber legs. To our loving English 4A teacher, Miss Adams, Brad Paxton leaves his Delux Special Brownie camera for next year's pictures. To Lefty Adams, Louie Brunton wishes to leave her address at Alfred next year, fhint! hintlj To Miss Duerr a group of senior girls in seventh bell gym class wish to leave an economy sized bottle of nerve pills and their deepest regret for not losing but leaving such a great pal. To Roberta Land, Jeannette Fuller leaves her personal book, autographed by none other than Marilyne Monroe, entitled How to Attract Boys in a Subtle Way. To Hope Hollis, Annie Schofield leaves her jet propelled tongue which will, no doubt, still be coming in loud and clear several years from now. The entire Senior Class wishes to leave senior study hall to any juniors who feel they can fill the seats. All kidding aside, we, the class of '56, wish you of '57 the very best of luck in future years. judy McCormick lf SHIRLEY ALIJRICH Red Soft hair. on which light WILLIAM ACKFRMAN I RUTH AGNEW Rulln No handsome man is ever The best part of beauty is really poor. that which no picture can express.

J .1 CLASS HISTORY Four years ago the Class of 1956 entered the halls of Norwich High School, unaware of what lay ahead of them. To start us on our way we elected Nancy Redfield, President, Josephine Elia, Vice President, Valerie Crawford, Secretary, and Nadene Brown, Treas- urer. We spent this year getting adjusted. Our big projects were preparing a Christmas box, and the class basketball game which, much to our dismay, we lost. Our Sophomore year started out with a bang when our class officers changed from a slate of girls to a complete slate of boys. We elected Richard Hathaway, President, Robert Georgia, Vice President, Charles Townsend, Secretary, and Ken Stewart, Treasurer. Getting into the swing of things, we waged the annual Sophomore magazine sale. Our high salesman was John Kirby. In the class games, following a well-fought battle, we triumphed over the Frosh, winning by one point after a three minute over time. Feeling very mature and happy to be in one big room, we made our appearance in junior Study Hall. This year we re-elected Richard QBuckyj Hathaway, President, Frances Mason took over as Vice President, Nancy Redfield as Secretary, and Brad Paxton, Treasurer. We did fairly well on the junior magazine sale with Bill Olmstead the high salesman. We also won the class games this year. We wound up our junior year with the magic of the junior Prom, Blue Moon, under the capable management of Ann Schofield as General Chairman, and other members of the Class. Looking ahead to our Senior year, we began work on our Archive by choosing our editor-in-chief, Steve Bartlett, and three other members of the staff. The first project of our Senior year was to elect the remaining members of the Archive Staff, followed by the election of our class officers. Brad Paxton took over as President, Margaret Testa as Vice President, Nadene Brown as Secretary, and Angelo Magistro as Treasurer, and Cecilia Caravaglio as Second Vice President. Preparing for our many activities this year, we began work on the Senior Frolic with our Senior girls taking us back to the Charleston Age in the House of Blue Lights. Committees were chosen in preparation for our great dramatic debut in Time Out for Ginger. With a great feeling of pride we journeyed to the Home Ec. Room to be measured for caps and gowns for that long-awaited day-Graduation.

For our parents' and teachers' understanding, patience, eternal willingness to increase our knowledge, providing of good schools, and unrestrained assistance in preparing me us to take our places in the world as well informed, good, honest citizens, for these and many more we thank you BRENDA BEYER from the bottom of our hearts. We pray that we will live V,,1edi,,0,.i,m lives worthy of your efforts. You have done your part, now we must do ours. Although our futures are unpredictable, we must, in our desire to become good citizens, compile and utilize the knowledge we have gained in these past four years. Our futures will vary. Yet each of us has a job to do, whether it be large or small. A few of us may have an active part in fighting communism and fear in the world, but most of us will have lesser roles. However if we complete our tasks and feel in our own minds that we have, even in some small way, improved something in this world, we will be successful. It will be up to us to distinguish between right and wrong, and only if we have the strength of character to know what is right and to do it, despite the consequences, then maybe someday we can repay our parents and teachers for their efforts in attempting to make us good citizens. During our four years in high school we are many times confronted by the word ambition. On looking this word up we find that it has two meanings: first, eager or inordinate desire of powers or distinction for its own sake and, second, worthy eagerness to achieve something great and good. In our reading of the Shakespearean play Marbella we found both meanings of the word vividly illustrated. Shakespeare portrays Macbeth as one so possessed with the desire for personal gain and power that he stooped to the murdering of innocent women and children in order to reign over an earthly kingdom. And as an opposing factor he gives us Banquo, a man of honor and integrity. Macbeth's troubled mind never gives him a moment's peace until death comes to him. Banquo, although he never gains an earthly kingdom has a happiness within fnever to be found by those with the same ambitious desires as Macbethj. MARGARET TESTA Salutaloriarz As students leave high school to seek their places in the world the question before them is this, are they to be content to work honestly and diligently respecting the right of their fellowman or are they going to cast aside these rights, cheat, and even lie to gain an end that eventually will lead to total destruction. It is often said that the end justifies the means but through the guidance and tireless efforts of our teachers fboth spiritual and academicj we at NHS have found out differently. With their faithful and never ceasing work we have been led on the right path and parents of these students can be sure that their children will continue on this path. In closing I would like to quote a statement by Alexander Pope, a great English poet whose life was ax triumph of great genius over tremendous handicaps, to emphasize both the good and evil side of ambition. According to Mr. Pope The same ambition can destroy or save, and makes a patriot as it makes a knave. -V-an - -- ' -- -- '1' 41- Y 'Y EN -, J? egg 3 O wa. 0 0 3 O ' I BUILD Fran Mason Teddy Hanson Pagans ' I AMBITION ' 3 LOOKS Margaret Testa - 4 is k g Ruth Agnew , Gerd Kuhn Bill Ackerman fx Al U I .212 - f ? um' -- MJ- Sw 1 - .. - - S dm Q LEADERSHIP - , ATHLETIC g , 2 3 V . - ' 1- 'es Brenda Beyer f - b .T Mlrram Shelden E- N nn- I-3 Bucky Hathaway X f la HX X Kenny Stewart 'EZ -..VT S' 2 V ' MUSICAL 7 - . 4 1 f 4152 - ' ' wJ:-f I K N 4 iff N 5a DANCER PERSONALITY Ann Sfhofield Mary Lou Brunton Beaky Fraser Rugs Hague Bob Yacano Carol Townsend 1 fi Z fffn ff N.-in I 2, f . r I We, the class of '56, dedicate this section of our Archive to the memory of our beloved Mr. Hogue.
