There are many different languages and among them the most important are Latin, French, Italian, English and Spanish. Latin was the language of Roman Republic and empire and was used in western Europe and in the Mediterra nean basin. In spite of the breaking up of the Roman empire, Latin con- tinued to be the language of the liter- ary and scholarly classes for many centuries. With the coming of the barbarians the Latin was gradually modified and with it as a basis there were formed a number of new lan- guages called Romance language. They are Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese, Roumanian and Rhaetiau The French language assumed some thing like definite form in the mi,idle of the ninth century. There wne var- ious dialects in different parts of France but soon two supplanted oii others; the language of the north of France and the language of the south of France. Modern French was weii formulated by the seventeenth century and is known for its polish, clearness, and conciseness. It has been the dip- lomatic language of the world since Hie sixteenth century and is still largely used for that purpose. The Italian language in its literary form was the old Tuscan dialect and w°s given literary form thru the writ- ings of Dante, Petrach, and Boccaccio in the fourteenth century. Although Italian is spoken by all educated peo- ple of Italy, there still remains num- erous dialects throughout the penin- sula. This language is spoken in Ita’y, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, and southern Switzerland and even in Brazil, the Argentine republic and the United States. The Spanish language arose in diff- erent dialects in the small states of 'he Iberian peninsula. Spanish is very important language inasmuch as it is spoken by the people of Mexico, Cen- tral America, West Indies, Philip- rtines, the southwestern part of the United States, and all of the South American countries except Brazil. The Anglo-Saxon, or English lan- guage was introduced into the British Isles in the fifth century by Teutonic tribes. Angles, Saxons and Jutes, com- ing over from the Danish peninsula and northwestern Germany. One of the most striking features of the Eng- lish language is its composite natu.- The English have been the greatest 0 THE TOOT word borrowers of all nations. All the countries and peoples with whom 1 li English had any political or commei' cial relations in modern times wer. made to contribute to the English vo- cabulary, French, Spanish, Portugese, Germans, Persians, Chinese, Russians, Malays, Hindus and the American Indians. English is the commercial language of a large part of the world today and its influence in this field is steadily growing. Jessie Molt THE RED AND WHITE It seems as tho in the past the or- ganization of a school paper lasted for a short time. In September 1925 a column was started in the Bee- Journal under the name “High Scho 1 Notes.” Herman Miles and Leo Rob- erts wrote it one week and then An- tonio Balducci and Charles VanZan P wrote it the next week. In September 1927 Mr. Milmoe kindly presented High School with a whole page of his paper. A staff was organized under the name of “Red and White,, and started the year with some good is- sues with VanZandt as Editor-in-Chief Tony Balducci as Associate Editor. In January Tony resigned and it was a case of missing and missed. The paper struggled along till June. At this writing the paper is planning to put out its last issue for this year. On the whole the Red and White was quite a fair success in the year 1927 1928. We Always Wondered The nervous old lady stopped the conductor. “Are you quite sure the train will always stop when you pull that little rope?” “Of course it will,” replied the con- ductor. “The other end is tied around the engineer’s neck.” George Wash- ington Ghost. Athletics And Physical Culture In High School As the years advance we notice that greater stress is placed upon athletics and physical culture in high school. In former days the school be- gan at 9 A. M. and with an hour re- cess at noon ended at 4 P. M. The pu- pils recited and studied during this period with no relief from the monot- ony. Now, nearly every day the pupil has relief from the studying in the form of physical culture. After the school day there are different forms of athletics for both boys and girls. In the spring there is baseball, ten- nis and track, in the fall, football, in the winter there is basketball and hockey. These are the main high school sports. In former days there were few sports for the student. If he indulged in athletics, the pupil had no instruc- tor to make him proficient in the sport. Today, nearly every high school has an athletic instructor and a phy- sical culture teacher. Since there were very few sports in former times, few students wished to remain in school after they were sixteen. With the advent of athletics into the modern high school curricu- lum there is an inducement for the older student to continue his high course. Sports also cause a student to get higher marks in his studies since he cannot participate in athle- tics unless he has a certain average. Each year more stress is being pla- ced upon athletics. As newer methods of teaching are being developed high schools can well afford to give more time to athletics and physical culture. Harold A. Armstrong A Boon To Humanity Goo: “How did the professor make his million?” Magoo: “He put fenders on grape- fruit spoons.” —Penn. State Froth, THE TOOT BOARD OF EDUCATION Charles H. Hoffman, President Norman L. Stafford, Treasurer. David H. Hoyt. William H. Maynard. Albert E. Campbell. Glen F. Bogardus, Clerk. The Board of Education is compos- ed of five members and a clerk wno is superintendent of schools. Charles II. Hoffman is president of the Board and is serving his second term as president. He was elected in 1927 tr serve his third term. Norman L. Staf- ford was elected Aug. 1, 1925. Dr. David Hoyt who finished out Dr. War- ner’s term was elected in 1927. Al- E. Campbell and William H. Maynard were elected in 1926. The chief activity of this Board ' as the constructing of the new hign school which took much cooperation on the part of the board. The building was constructed under the supervision of Supt. of Schools Glen F. Bogardus. The Board met at eleven regular meetings during the past year and three special meetings were called. By these meetings many difficult pro- blems were solved and much valuable time given by members of the Board. 8 THE TOOT CLAS ISTOHY The present Senior Class enterri high school in 1924. The Freshman of- ficials were: Pres. Algeuia Warner, Vice-Pres. Lawrence Sevy, Trea . Penelope Farnham, Sec. E. Smith. W , as freshmen acted frightened and backward towards the upperclassmen, “Green.” But as we became more ac- customed to their habits and acquaint- ed with the students, we knew wuai really was expected of us. The only activity of that year was a party held in the gymnasium of the old sch o' house at which everyone was preseui.. We entered the Sophomore year waiting patiently for the day to come when we would have a lot of fun wPa the Freshman. Of course we did ev- ery thing imaginable to them, but they didn’t seem to care. You'd be surprised to see how “game” the Freshmen are getting to be. The ac- tivities held that year were a party held at one of the members home and a corn roast at the OxBow. We ho 1 a very busy time trying to keep tin. Juniors away, but we enjoyed the pas ties very much. The Junior year was entered wit'i hopes of everyone studying hard iu order to pass our exams and that wo might become dignified Seniors. The Junior class officials were: Presi- dent, Jessie Sorci and other officers. We held a party that year in th • old gymnasium. When the Seniors were thru earning money we very eag- erly went to work and earned money lo entertain the Seniors before they left us. We gave them a picnic, which was held at Suburban Park. Every one enjoyed this picnic by riding on the Merry go-round for nothing. In the evening most of the students dan- ced at the large dance hall there. The Seniors in return gave us a pic nic which was held at Panther L.ih-a We, Juniors enjoyed the picnic ver; much and certainly enjoyed thi “Eats”. Seniors. Our last year in high school. We all regretted to think of June 1928. The officials this yea- were Pres. Jessie Sorci, Vice-Pres. Mary Sicilia, Treas. Evelyn Smith. Sec. Charles Capparelli, advisors Miss Mackey and Miss Sheehan. This was our busy year. We earned mon- ey by selling pencils, jello, Christmas c3rds, Mah Jong coffee, magazines, candy, holding card parties, a fare- well party iin the old high school a play entitled “The Goose Hang High”, two vodevils and a dance. We kept bothering the town people con- tinually until we really think we warn boring. But we certainly appreciate their patience. All the social affairs were well attended by the alumni members and town people. Leaving the old school house certainly did break our hearts we missed the creaking of the stairs and the ticking of the old clock. But, nevertheless. I don’t think anyone would like to give up the school building we have now. Another important event In our Senior year was the trip to Wasning- ton. Nineteen members of the class enjoyed the trip. Miss Mackey an i Miss Powers were our chaperons. The total earnings were $680. These earn- ings surpassed the earnings of ail the former classes. We are proud of It and also are proud of our advisors, who really ought to have all the credit. We want to thank the people for co- operating with us and we are sure we would never made a success of our Senior year if they didn’t aid us. Mary Siciii.' THE TOOT 9 This class seems to have been a failure although we have tried to pick ourselves up in the past year. We iiac quite a successful year when we came in as freshmen under the guardian- ship of Miss Vera Gray, who is now Mrs. Smith. We had parties and fun for everybody except the boys who were too bashful to come. The first exciting thing of our soph- omore year was a Hot dog roast at Chittenango Falls under the supervis- ion of the class advisors, Miss Mack- ey and Miss Kelsey. There were oth- er outings bat the initiation of t'-c Freshmen was the real event of the year. As freshmen usually resent tin, sophomores not altogether unkind In- tention or attentidn, we had rathe; a fight on our hands. During this Junior year, the moviug into the new school took much of our time until the Commencement stared us in the face, at which time we have to make an unusual good im- pression upon the Seniors by taking care of the details of graduation. Hav- ing lost Mrs. Milmoe, Jr. as an ad -,isor and getting meetings in at Miss Goettel’s convenience, we seemed for a time, a little dormant. Howevei, we are now busily supplying candy for our fellow schoolmates. Thereby helping to make up the deficit due Lo the difficulty of extracting the requir- ed dues from all the class members. We will soon be Seniors and with deen appreciation shall accept the ministrations which we are now plan ning to render the departing Seniors. We, Sophomores, that is most of u '■ame up in January 1926 and we certainly have been active. We have had many social gatherings at whicn we have become better acquainted and exchanged ideas, thereby accom- plishing more. From January to June 1926 we had about three parties with Lydia Rommel as president and Mis- Clines and Miss Anderson as advis- ors. The next fall we had corn roar is and parties. During the winter of 1927-28 we ha ' frequent meetings with Mandalay Grems as president and after the nev‘; election in January, Charles VanZan it We had a party on December 22, which everyone enjoyed, another a bout the middle of February. In gen- eral, there has been laudable class spirit and proportionate attendance at meetings. Our advisors at present are Mrs. Milmoe and Miss Powers. The enjoyment of our good times will always remain fresh in our mem- ories. E. Ponticello THE TOOT The freshman class held their first meeting in Miss Cline’s loom in the old building, Wednesday, October ID, 1927 with Miss Conkling and Miss Clines as advisors. At this meeting of- ficers were elected. Charles Van Zandt was elected president, Raymon 1 Caldwell, secretary and Muriel Buh- rig .treasurer. It was decided to havo dues, amounting to ten cents a monin. At the following meeting a party was talked of. This party was to be held in the school during the weeK before Christmas. This event ho� ever, was not held due to the fact that there was no free night at that time. Although our plans for our party were greatly upset it did not stop us from decorating a tree for the school. This tree was the first ever had in the school and was very beautifully ornamented. After the regents in January it was necessarry for us to re-elect offi- cers. As a result of this election, lone Robertson became resident, Joy Te- Winkel, secretary and Frederick Buii rig, treasurer. Our class Is to have a picnic be- for the end of the school year. This picnic is certainly going to be our largest gathering before we become the learned sophomores of dear C. H. S. The freshman class of 1927-28 has in the neighborhood of sixty mem berg. Since our first meeting a few '? them have advanced enough to be- come sophomores. We hope next year to form a sfrou foijce of sophomores but our freshmen year will always remain in our mem ones. J. TeWinkei. Class Poem—1928 School days are quickly passing. This June we say goodbye, And keep memories everlasting Of dear Canastota High. We have striven to gather knowledge, We treasure each lesson taught. We know it will guide us forward To the goal for which we sought. Four years have quickly passed Since we first entered here. Those we have met in classes Are now our friends most dear. To the teachers and friends we are leaving, Ever true, loyal and kind, We extend our thanks sincerely, And will bear their instruction in mind. As school closes its doors to the balmy air, We wish happiness to every one. The best way we can express cur thoughts Is by the song we oft have sung. “Those days of yore Will come no more, But through the many years The thoughts of you, So good, so true. Will fill our eyes with tears.” And Conditioned In Salads Wife (at breakfast): “Our new girl is a cooking school graduate.” Hub: “She must have flunked bad- ly in biscuits.”—Boston Transcript. THE TOOT 11 CLASS PROPHECY FIFTEEN YEARS LATER I had a very interesting talk today, with an old classmate of mine that I had not seen for many years. I was waiting at the Grand Central Station in New' York for a train which was to take me home for my summer vaca- tion from teaching school in one of the New York schools, when in stroll- ed Max Freeman. He didn’t recognize me at first but he soon remembered. 1 asked him what he was doing anu he replied he was conductor of the Pennsylvania orchestra. It told him what I was doing and we talked of all the other classmates. We remembered that Bertha Don- nelly had married right after gradua- ion and was the proud owner of a beautiful home in the West. Bessie Hertel was to soon follow Bertha’s footsteps, which is also a success. She has a wonderful farm on the Sen- eca turnpike, near where Naomi H’y- den used to live before she became the owner of the great dress making shop in Boston. I had heard that Vera Auselio h id returned to New Haven, Conn, and was becoming a well known business woman. Violet Bull seemed to have progressed in the same line and was secretary to the Secretary of War. Max told me how' Harold Armstrong, Eugene Burke and Harold Williams had risen to League baseball and were doing wonderfully. Glen Cowan, a sun- ny good-natured fellow, left one day with his bus and was not heard of un til five years later, when he wrote a friend telling what good luck he was having in Chicago running a con- fectionery store. Lucina Fisher and Lillian Shay, al- though their parents still live where they alw'ays have, seemed to have flown the coop and made a name for themselves in Syracuse. They were partners in running a large cafeteria, which is becoming more and more prosperous. I told Max about the time I had visited Paris about two years ago how I came across Gurtha Talley. She has a wonderful studio and was becoming noted for her wonderful work. Two Perryville girls seemed to be doing well also. Erma Carey had be- come a successful history teacher and was teacning at Perryville. Helen Weisbrod had taken to training and was the doctors assistant at Crouse- Irving Hospital in Syracuse, while our dear Helen Dougherty wras doing won derful work with her teaching in Cort- land Normal. Helen’s close friend and our dear classmate, Evelyn Smith is the second best flute player at Roch- ester. She has a large school situated near Eastman and Evelyn’s attend- ance greatly exceeds that of the East- man school. We remembered that there was an- other member of our class interested in music. Elsie Williams is in charge of the Williams Music shop at St. Louis. Charles Capparelli was begin ning a new job managing Max’s or- chestra on a world tour. He took this o; portunity to find a girl whom he cared for more than he did Mary Si- cilia, who, by the way was running a. Spanish night-club on Broadway with Mary McCullough as the stellar feat- ure rendering violin solos. Jessie Molt turned over a new leaf and studied in college and now she is storming big words on the heads of weary Seniors. She is very capable of taking the place of Miss Clines who left school lo sell the new 1943 model Dodge 12 THE TOOT Brothers Victory Six aeroplane. A model which greatly surpasses all oth- er models “as it were.” As I see it the Class of ’28 of Canastota High School has a very bright future and I predict newspaper head lines con- taining the names of many members of this class. 1 do not choose to pre- dict whether the headlines tell of a murder or a presidential campaign.

It has also played for the Odd Fallows, The Exchange Club, The Fortnightly Club and several tint's at Ihe Methodist Church and closed a successful season at the Alumni banquet. Miss Goettel has spared neither time nor effort to make this orches- tra a success and she feels that she has not altogether failed. It is hoped next year that orchestra rehearsal may take place during school hours and credits given for this subject. The Canastota High Larkin Band The Canastota High Larkin Bund was organized about two months ago under the supervision of Mr. Fraser, the director who is a representative of the Larkin Music Company of Binghamton. The organization of the band was rather difficult at first because the students did not seem interested enough to come to room 15 and chose Ihe instrument that they wished to play but with the help of Miss GoeGo and Mr. McLean who were anxious to make musicians out of every mem her in High school, a small ban! consisting of about twenty-five p01, sons was finally brought together. It is really remarkable to see how rapidly these students have advanc- ed in such a short time. They started in playing the scale and before we knew it, they were playing hymn ? and now they are playing marches. Among the clarinet, cornet, alto and saxaphone players are two experts, Gene Lamp a clarinet player and Charles VanZandt, a cornet player. These two expect to be asked to join the village band when it starts giving concerts. It is expected that a great mar.' more sudents will be added to the band list when practice begins again in the fall.

THE TOOT 15� BASEBALL 1928 Under guidance and coaching ot William Schmidt who is Athletic coach of all sports of C. H. S., the baseball team won three games and lost six. Although this record is no. what we wished it to be we accom- plished something by forming a team for the coming season. As we only had four men with experience on t ie team we considered it a good season, and the players who were working with Coach Schmidt every day found that he was a coach that appealed to ail of the fellows and for this reason the fellows gave all they had. His mo to seemed to be “Everything to gain and nothing to lose.” The fellows w io will return next year are all willing workers and with them we expect to have a strong team on the field. Those who will return for next sea- son are: “Holly” Gardinier, our old reliable right hander and “Lefty” Shaffer, Spadafora, Catcher; Gustaf- son, Armstrong, Bertelero, CappareUi, Grilli, and Damico for the infield. For the outer gardens Ken Clark, Ayers, Coleman. Pretta. One who will be missed is Harry “Lefty” Carman who pitched good ball for the team but had hard luck thru the season. The feature game of the year v« s with Cazenovia Seminary; We wron this game after a battle for eleven innings. Gardinier pitched nice ball all the way thru the game. The game ended 7 to 6 in our favor. Cazenovia used three pitchers but all fell to the licking of the local boys bats. We have one more game to play and that is with the Camden High School at Camden, and we are going to fight to the last to win. With Coach Schmidt back for next year and eight regulars Canastota looks for a great year on the diamond So we all take our hats off to Coach Schmidt and the boys for a great sea- son. —H.

BASKET BALL Of the twenty-three games played on the court. C. H. S. emerged vic- torious in ten. This is not an envi- able record by any means. We hail everything that is essential for a winning team a gymnasium that is second to none in this vicinity, plen- ty of talented players and last but not least a fine coach, yet we could not reach the five hundred mark. There was one force working against us that prevented our winning many more games than we did and that force was indifference. I hope tb- t next year this factor will have dis- appeared along with all petty differ- 20 THE TOOT ences and animosities. For when one engages in sport of any kind lie must lay these aside and fight for common cause. I am writing this with one idea foremost in my mind, and that is the value of cooperation and unity. If I can impress this up- on the 1928-29 basketball team I can rightly feel that I contributed to their success though absent. The team next year will be built around C. Cappai- reli and Wm. Dew and the flock of substitutes coming up from Junior High look very good to me. In clos ing I hope that success may be en- joyed by both players and coach for 1928-29. —Arthur C. Fritz.

Most- ly raw recruits and considering the material at hand Mr. Schmidt cer- tainly rounded out a very fine team. We have to take our hats off to “Pinky.” Some of the boys showed up fair- ly well the first two weeks and the outlook for the hard schedule ahea:t wasn’t so bad. The first game of the season took place with our ancient rivals Oneida. The game was played in Canastota and a large crowd attended the game. For the first half the ball see-sawed back and forth across the field with neither side having any advantage ov- er the other. The half ended with the score 0-0. In the third quarter Oneida blocked one of our punts and scored a touchdown. We were unable to score the remainder of the game and it ended 6-0 with Oneida on the big end. After the Oneida game our squid dwindled down to about fourteen un- der these conditions we were forced to complete the strenuous schedule. Some of them were forced to play with injuries because there was no one to take their place and in this manner the team derived the name of “The Iron Men.” In order to tell just how good the team was last fall we will compare it with the games between various teams in our schedule. Oswego beat Oneida by a score of 26 to 0 and Ful- ton beat both Oneida and Oswego who were conquerors of the strong R. F. A. team. The prospects for the team next fall are rather bright and in about two more years I think that Canastc ta will have one of the finest teams. The block letter men for the pa'd year are: Torrey, Cady, Fazio, Rob- TH£ TOOT 21 inson, Dew Scud, Dew F., Ackerman, Gutafson, Garrafolo, Capparelli, Ran- som, Rommel, Campbell, Mgr. The scores for the games are as follows: Oneida 6-0 Canastota. Oswego 20-6 Canastota Sherrill 6-0 Canastota. Fulton 0-0 Canastota. Utica 20-0 Canastota. Morrisville 12-0 Canastota. T rack Track was revived this year after having been abandoned for several years. But experience at Colgate taught us that a track team isn’t made in a year. Nevertheless the boys ar interested and want to try again next spring. GIRLS BASKET BALL The girls basketball season came to a close February the 25th with five victories and one tie to their credit and seven against it. The season was fairly successful and a great deal of credit goes to the coach “Miss Uke.' We must not forget either the credit due to the team itself. The team had four veteran players, Captain Sorci the smallest player, nevertheless out. of the best players. Mary Sicilia, our local Jack Dempsey and crack-for- ward, Alice Greiner our lanky center and Sarah Dailey, M3ry Sicilia’s side kick and forward. The rest of the team was composed of Jennie Mae Eaton and Veronica Capparelli. Due credit must also be given to the subs who stuck faithfully getting all the hard knocks. Charlotte Church, Helen and Ruth Greiner, “Peg” Cady and Eudora Sykes are the ones who de- serve this credit. We must not omit our manager Gurtha Talley. Th' team appreciates her efforts in seem- ing games for their successful sea- son. The team encountered many super- ior teams and fought hard for many of its victories and defeats. The team loses the four veteran players and everyone wishes them success in their future work. The games and scores are as fol lows: Canastota 26 .....“ Holland Patent ”7 Canastota 26 .........

Uplifting Thought While you were reading this, Hemy Ford made ten dollars.—Harvard Lampoon. 22 THE TOOT K. E. About the history of the local chap- ter of K. E. there hangs a mystery. There is no written account of it ami not many left in town to refer to irr information. It was between the years 1904 and 1906 that some ladies decid- ed to form a chapter of K. E. Among these were Mrs. Hazel McCandie, Mrs. Alene Warner, Mrs. Leia Fanch- er and Mrs. May DeLano. They wrote to Grand Lodge and were cordiaiiy granted a charter. Since that time the society has at times thrived and other times nearly died. For seveiai years the organization was so pros perous that rooms were rented and furnished. Again the society became poor and the girls were forced to meet at homes or street corners. At pres- ent, we are neither wealthy nor poor. We have no rooms, but we have a goodly amount in our treasury, and some day “when our ship comes in,” we hope to again rent rooms. Many people make the mistake of thinking that K E. is merely a social organizaion. It is true that social ac- tivities make up a large portion of it, but along with that is our charity work. At Christmas time it is the custom of the sorority to pack bas- kets for the poor. For the last few years we have been selling popp'es for the American Legion. We also send flowers to friends and members of K E. when they are ill. One of the principal benefits of cur society is the spirit which it gives the members. Professor Bogardus Is known to have said that it was a goal toward which the high school girl3 strove. This, tends of course, to raise the standard of K. E. and conse- quently the standard of the high school. , The present chapter while not hav- ing been very active this year prom- ises well for the coming year. Most of the members are newly initiates and they make up a very active group. The School Board has been very generous to us in giving us the use of the high school room for ou.' activities. For this we thank them and truly hope we can prove oursel- ves a credit to the school. Evelyn Smith GAMMA CHI The Gamma Chi Sodality was or- ganized on December 8th, 1926 with seventeen members. The society at present has sixty members. Miss Jo- sephine Brock is president, Margaret Bartholomay, vice-president, Jennie Murphy treasurer and Elizabeth Mu sacchio, secretary. A council of six appointed by the president as assist- ants. Father Shaughnessy is direct- or of the sodality. A business met- ing is held every second Monday o’ the month. The members all receive Holy Communion on the third Sun- day of every month in a body. Many social affairs were held last year and many are being planned for this year. Approximately one hundred and ten dollarrs was given to the church last year, due to the several affairs held. J- L. THE TOOT 23 A Scribe Scribbles The Order of DeMolay dates back to 1919. Frank S. Land took in a fath- erless boy, Louis G. Lawer. From time to time he made different ac- quaintances. “Dad” Land suggested that they organize a club, which they decided should be named “DeMolay after the martyr to Masonry and last Master of Knight Templars. The DeMolay has now grown to be an international order sponsored by F. A. M. with Frank S. Land as Grand Scribe. The advisory council of the Canas- tota Chapter, Order of DeMolay, met at the Masonic Temple on January 2J, 1926. to make final arrangements toi the institution of Canastota Chapier of DeMolay. It was announced that the Chapter would be instituted on January 30, 1926, by the Syracuse Chapter. Thirty-nine members were given the beautiful and impressive degrees. ' Soon afterward, on April 16, th new De Molay held its first dance, at Newkirk’s Academy, with Syncopaco:- Orchestra furnishing the music. Ev- ery one enjoyed the occasion. The next social event was an open house at the Masonic Temple on April 22. The program consisted of violin selections by the Cerio Brothers, an i an exhibition of the “Black Bottom' by the same pair. Cards and dancing followed this program. Near the close of the year, the Chap- ter instituted the idea of an annual ball. The first was held in Newkirk 3 Academy, with music by Anthony’s or- chestra. The feature of the occasion was the presentation of a prize to the best dancers of the evening. The de- cision to continue the Annual Balls was unanimous. The same opinion was held by those who attended the sec- ond Annual Ball in 1927 and the mem- bers are already looking forward to the Third Annual, to take place this 'coming December. Other social activities of the Chap- ter have been numerous, “open house ’ nights, sponsoring motion pictures, and father-and-son banquets. The suc- cess of the first “open house” encour- aged their holding the subsequent ones, which were always met with the same enthusiasm. On two different occasions the Chap- ter sponsored motion pictures at the Avon Theatre. Both productions ran two nights and both were well attend- ed each night. “The Black Pirat ” and “The Fair Co-Ed” were the pict- ures presented. The event that was most successful in fostering a paternal feeling toward the Chapter was the Father and So i banquet, held on Feb. 1 of this year. The guests of honor were the fathers of the members, the Masons and th prospective members of De Molay. Af- ter the banquet proper came the sev- eral interesting speeches. Mr. Charles S. Sliter, New York Master Councilor, and his secretary, Mr. Wheeler W. Watkins, presented the advantages of membership in the De Molay, its ori- gin and its growth into an internation- al fraternity. Judge Campbell and oth- er members of the Masonic Fraternity presented ideas worthy of considera- tion by both fathers and the sons. The social activities present of course only a portion of the interests in the De Molay. The great aim of DeMolay is to teach and practice the virtues of upright, patriotic and manly living, so as the years of manhood approach they miy be better men. It is gratifying then 1o see the success with which these soc- ial affairs and ideals have been met.
