SCOVILLE, Literary MISS HELEN C . CARROLL, Business EDITORIAL “Here I am. I’m ‘The Toot.’” Behold! The Toot is the new magazine which Canastota High School is publishing. This is my first appearance. I do hope and am firmly determined to make a favorable impression upon the Canastota public. Let’s go! Now that we are introduced and you know who I am and what I am, I’m going to tell you why I am. In the first place, the students want me; the teachers stand behind me; and you, the public, will co-operate. It was foretold that with my arrival the school spirit would receive an added punch and from now on The Toot will blow the horn of greater school activity. My purpose is that of a mirror; I reflect the work and the play of the pupils in the high school not only to the parents but to the entire public and to the critical inspec- tion of other and rival schools. C. H. S., let’s make The Toot work for a bigger and better Canas- tota. Help us and we’ll help you. L. E. T. 5

6 THE TOOT Merry Christmas No more pencils, no more books, No more teacher’s saucy looks. Hooray! It’s Christmas vacation. You rush for home leaving all thoughts of school behind. Just hear those shouts of joy over the hockey matches, skating, coasting and last, but not least, the presents which are to come in the next few days. Though it is farthest from your thought, The Toot does not forget you and through all your fun and frolic it toots its greeting, “ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.” L. E. T. Let’s Go, C. H. S. The basketball team is rapidly rounding into shape under the supervision of our athletic director, Mr. Crisp. The first game is expected to be played on December 10th. Games are now reported pending with Dartmouth Freshmen, Colgate Frosh and Syracuse Frosh, also with Lyons, Cazenovia and Oneida. A great many teams of local repute will be seen in action in our Old Cigar Box this year. If we’re going to have a team, let’s stand behind it. Bring the old Colgate spirit here to Canastota. The players can’t do it all. They need a lot of backing. Get behind them. Give them your support. Go to the games and let the team know you’re there by your songs and cheers. J. A. C. Out for Something and In for Nothing Have you ever thought of yourself as a grafter or a parasite? The recent report cards prove that a great many of you have not been toiling over your lessons to any superfluous extent. Indeed, they show your colors: You are out for something and in for nothing! You are eager to grab all you can get and give as little as possible for it. Hasn’t this system (the sponge process, we have heard it called) been tried just about long enough? Aren’t you tired of living on somebody else? Now is the time for you to begin for yourself. Do your best in your school work, go in for the orchestra and glee club, give suggestions to The Toot, get out and cheer for the basket- ball team. Put yourself into all you do. Don’t try to get something for nothing. Be willing to pay a fair price and you will find that you have received your money’s worth. L. E. T.
