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.
