THE TOOT _____________JUNE 1929____________ PUBLISHED BY CLASS OF 1929 OF CANASTOTA HIGH SCHOOL ROUGHING IT SMOOTHLY” The title sounds interesting, per- haps a camping trip comes to our minds, but hestitate a moment and think of the many ways it is applied to real life. Education by study is a large broad field, and a new experience for every student. To many students the road seems rough and consequently, some drop by the wayside. But is it rough as compared with that of our ances- tors—the pioneers? They had no text books, no outlines—cut and dried—no tablets on which to write, no fountain pens, no libraries. They lacked these and other facilities which make it possible for the youth of today to rough it smoothly. And they did “rough” it. Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He used a spade for a tab- let, a piece of charcoal for a pencil and a piece of cloth for an eraser. Yes, we are roughing it smoothly, but are we roughing it too smoothly? This year book is managed and published by the senior class of the Canastota High School, but under- classmen contribute toward its suc- cess. As yet it is only in its infancy. A school of this size should put out a larger and more original year-book than ones published in previous years. I sincerely hope the Senior Class of 1930 and other senior classes to come, with the cooperation of the under gra- duates will endeavor to make the “Toot” a more successful year-book. —Sherry Wood CLASS SONG Words and music by Iva Keller Now the joyous spring, in all its glory, Brings to us its bright and happy cheer, We again repeat the sweet, old story Of the many students gathered here. All the loving years we spent together, We can never bring them back again. In the years to come will be forever Memories of youthful days that always will remain. CHORUS Goodbye dear old school days, Tests, books and rule days Godbye to our kind loving teachers, Goodbye to the dear old school bell. Now we must leave you Our dear old pals So hail Canastota, our dear old High School, Farewell, Alma Mater, Farewell. 10 THE TOOT BOARD OF EDUCATION Charles H. Hoffman, President Norman L. Stafford Judge Albert E. Campbell I)r. David M. Hoyt William H. Maynard Canastota High School is blessed with an unusually excellent board. Every member is a man of unusual ability and experience. The fact that every member is chosen from a diff- erent profession makes their ideas and opinions very good. The Board of Education is really ‘‘the power behind the throne. It di- rects all the student activities and makes all the plans for the manage- ment of the high school. Without them, the school would have no back- ground. As I have said before the Board of Education in Canastota is unusual for a town of this size. Since we have had these members Canastota High School has prospered and advanced, more than at any other time. Under them the new school house was built and they are now doing all in their power to add equipment and advan- tages for the members of this school. In all of these things the members have shown good judgement and ex- cellent ability. I feel that due appreciation has not been shown to these men who so ably direct our affairs, concerning the new school house and its added advantag- es. We are the second class to grad- uate from it and have just begun to realize how much we do appreciate it. But I think that the way the students enter into all school activities, the in- creased interest in the school and the higher scholastic standards are a way of showing the great appreciation which we owe to the Board of Edu- cation. THE TOOT 11 CLASS OF 1929 Our illustrious class came into high school after a successful combat with the preliminary subjects in, I believe 1925 B. H. A. (Before High-school Ag- onies.) We were happy, you know “Ignorance is bliss!” in the prospect of an active four year course. In the first year, according to cus- tom—we knew no other reason for doing so— we met and chose Harry Feeley as president, June Braun, vice- president and Audrey Locke as secre- tary and treasurer. With Miss Clines as our advisor we planned a party in the old high school gym. Here we had a hilarious time and not even spilled lemonade dampened the spirits of us verdant freshmen. The sophomores at- tempted to break up the party but the Chief of Police, Miss Clines and Will- iam Cox were kind enough to keep them from entering. It was rumored that two boys trying to secure en- trance thru the tunnel from the Spen- cer street school to the Chapel street school were met at the end of it by Miss Clines. The rumor also went further to say that the boys returned the same way as they came with in- creased speed, you as well as we, know the reason. Mr. Cox nailed ev- ery window but, nevertheless, one of the higher classmen did secure en- trance thru one of these and this sophomore was by no means a boy of small anatomy. Soon, being sophomores, we enjoyed hazing the “little freshies”. At this time we really respected no leader but later met to choose Dorothy Braun as president June Braun, vice- president, George Gustafson, secretary and Iva Keller, treasurer. Miss Mack- ey was our advisor under whose guid- ance we planned a Hallowe’en party which was attended by well over the full membership of the class, as all the teachers were there. In the spring we journeyed to Chittenango Falls for a picnic. No one went over the falls, but nevertheless, “an exciting time was had by all.” Our activities during the Junior year were limited. Our officers were: Elizabeth Musacchio as President: George Gustafson, vice-president; Sa- ra Sykes secretary; and Sherry Wood treasurer. During Commencement week the Juniors were busy waiting on the Seniors. A whole day was spent de- vastating a field of daisies (by means of a scythe) with which we decorated the stage. Several Juniors served as ushers and two were chosen as mar- shalls, namely Catherine McCullough and Elizabeth Musacchio. The follow- ing Friday, the Seniors entertained the Juniors at a theatre party at Loew’s. Thursday night the Junior girls served at the Alumni banquet. This concludes the activities of the “Jolly Juniors.” The first activity of our Senior year was “Lotus Flowers,” a one-act play given for a dramatic contest. The next event was a card party held in The members of the Senior Class the gym. This was successful, did not go to Washington this year, but two of the members went with Mr. and Mrs. Smith in their new “El- izabeth” the remaining space was oc- cupied by a single Junior. Our Senior play “A Full House” was attended by a full house. This was an all-senior cast who displayed unusual talent. We, the class of 1929 wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks and gratitude for the help and guid- ance of our two class advisors, Mrs. Smith and Miss LaLonde. —George Gustafson and Richard Coleman 12 THE TOOT CZL The Junior Class of 1928-29 was or- ganized in September with Arthur Hermann as president and Eudora Sykes as Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Powers and Miss Jutkiewicz have been our advisers. At the begin- ning of the term it was decided that each member pay dues or ten cents per month since everyone was in favor of it. In November each class presented a short play, our was “The Trysting Place.” Although we did not receive the prize, it was very well given and worthy of praise. At a meeting that was called in April we discussed ways of earning money but since the class dues amounted to the sum needed for Commencement Week we thought that this would be merely a waste of time. On May 16th a meeting was called ed by our advisers at which we made plans for Commencement Week. This term being a very busy one, we have not had time for many soc- ial activities. —E. E. P. Nineteen hundred twenty-eight and nine marks the Sophomore year of the class of thirty-one. The records of this class begin with the meeting in Sep- tember, ninteen hundred and twenty- eight. This meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers and for determining dues. Membership fees were fixed at one dollar a year. The officers were chosen as follows: Presi- dent lone Robertsone; secretary Mary Newberry; treasurer Gladys Baldwin; Miss Anna B. Clines and Miss Grace Colton are advisors. They have not only given their advice but they have also showed genuine interest in all of its efforts, and have given much of their time in promoting the activ- ities of the class. We are very grate- ful to them for it is they who have made possible much of the work that we have accomplished. The first activity of the year was a corn roast, in the early part of Oc- tober held at Olive Relyea’s home. The party was chaperoned by Miss Colton and Miss Gaudern. A splendid time was enjoyed by all who attended. The initiation of the freshmen was a frolic long to be remembered for its humorous and ludicrous aspects. This was the first time that the boys have been privileged to participate in this enjoyable sport. Our next social meeting was a Halloween masquerade held in the high school club room. The program was interesting and unusual and gave great pleasure to those attending. Re- freshments were served. The party was chaperoned by Miss Clines. Our greatest accomplishment was the winning of the silver loving cup offered by the Dramatic Club to the class staging the best one-act play. We presented the play “Sauce for the Goslings.” “The class of 31” was en- graved on the cup. Again we wish to thank our ad- visors for their co-operation and the class for its aid in our success . —Mary Newberry, Secretary THE TOOT 13 The Freshman Class of 1928 was the largest in our High School in a number of years. There were about seventy members. Miss Calli and Miss Mackey were the advisors. The colors were rose and silver and the officers were as fol- lows: President, Reba Phillips; Vice- president, Lawrence Waldo; Secreta- ry, Hazel Fritz; Treasurer, John Te- Winkel. In October we held a weiner roast at the home of Roland Shumard in New Boston Street. The class also placed and trimmed a Christmas tree in the High School auditorium at Christmas time. We were very active in athletics At the time of the class plays, The Freshmen presented The Ghost Story.” 1929 CLASS POEM I wish I had words that could tell you . The thoughts that I have in my mind For to me has been given the pleasure Of our wishes in verse, to bind. Goodbye we must say to our dear old schoo� . Goodbye to the good times we’ve had Goodbye to the friends who have loved us Whether we were good, or bad. We give thanks to our teachers so weary Who have striven with utmost care To teach us our lessons so dreary, And for regents our minds to prepare. Some day in the future, returning We’ll visit these hallways so dear With our hearts and our eyes all burning When the words of this song we hear. “Those days of yore will come no more, But through our many years The thoughts of you, so good and true, Will fill our eyes with tears.” CURRENT FICTION The Sheik_____________Ed Hermann The Old-Fashioned Girl_.Jessie Mott The Red-haired Girl, Mandalay Grems The Romantic Comedians_______Art Hermann and Mary Frost Padlocked_________Lil and Roland Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Martin Gruber The Man Who Understands Women Earl Lockerby The Music .Master___“Pinky” Schmidt Lass of Laughter...Mandalay Grems Tarzan, the Mighty------Laddie Lake The Student Prince “Vern” Kneeskern The Bashful Girl____Santa Ponticello She Stoops to Conquer Elsie Williams 14 THE TOOT E .C TY Once each year When blossoms are pink. We register by common lot What of the teachers we think. The Senior Class of 1929 Of the faculty thinks a great deal; In trying to give opinions in rhyme We cannot express what we feel. Some of our opinions are different from others But, as a whole, we all can say, Keep your feelings to yourself For in the end it will pay. Mr. G. F. Bogardus—known as Prof, has been superintendent of the Can- astota school for four years. He holds an esteemed place in our community as a superintendent and an active cit- izen. This is illustrated by his success in the progress of the school and in many town activities in which he has participated. As a friend and adviser we hold him in highest esteem. Mr. McLean—Chief Justice of C. H. S. Also decides punishment for severe cases of absence, tardiness and skip- ping. Best known as “Mac” when out of hearing. Miss Clines—Noted as traffic cop at the southwest corner of the auditor- ium. Always recognized by the famous sayings: “As it were,” “etc.” and, “Don’t let me do all the talking . If you should forget how to begin the alphabet, think of Miss Anna B. Clines—A. B. C. Miss Powers—The noted Latin teach- er because she has patience and pa- tients. The former for her Latin class- es and the latter the Latin classes themselves. She is also Caesar’s fav- orite. Miss Jutkiewicz—Our physical edu- cation teacher. Famous for her pet sayings in gym classes, “The next girl I catch chewing gum will hereafter pay me 1 cent.” Noted for her Italian, Hungarian and Dutch dancing and es- pecially her interest in the “Black” Bottom and the Varsity Drag. But we all appreciate her as our girl’s bas- ketball coach. And will always remem- ber her hard labor spent on the girls gym exhibition. Mr. Schmidt—Athletic instructor in C. H. S. Famous for his pet word “C’mon, C’mon Boys.” It won’t be long before “Pinky” (as he is called) brings young “Pinky Junior to the scnool. Hurrah for Schmidt, Jr. We all appreciate what Mr. Schmidt has done for the sports of C. H. S. and we are glad he will be with us next semester. Miss Calli—The Italian and French teacher of C. H. S. Her most frequent remark in seventh period study hall is: “The next one I eaten whispering will join me in my home room until 5 o’clock.” Although she is strict, she sure knows her French. Miss LaLonde—One of our senior advisors for the Class of 1929. She is our commercial teacher. Famous for her 90 word a minute students. Miss Gaudern—Music teacher and K. E. advisor. She has done very much for K. E. and for her orchestra and glee clubs. Famous for breaking batons at orchestra practice. She is also noted for her domestic propensi- ties, that is, candymaking. Mrs. Milmoe—Famous for her scholarships and interest in the prize speaking. One of her daily questions is: “Who has heard of the Pythagy- rean proposition?” Although her classes are large, they are always successful. Mr. Zapf—Our worthy drawing teacher and alumnus of C. H. S. Noted for his long strides and his former sideburns. We owe him much for all the plays he has produced and for the “Follies.” We think he should have a private secretary next year to carry THE TOOT 17 CLASS OF 1929 ALPHABET A is for Action that is what we are for.

Verro; 2nd row: C. Capparclli (Captain), H. Norton. L. Lake, R. Coleman, G. Klock, E. Welch, VV. Dew; 3rd row: H. Kneeskern, (manager) D. Greiner, S. Wood, G. Gustafson, E. Nichols, W. King, V. Grilli, Coach W. C. Schmidt, Jr. FOOTBALL The 1928 football season as a whole was a success considering the acci- dents which happened to the team. Three of the players were injured in the first of the season, and Captain Torrey was absent—these were great misfortune to the team. Coach Schmidt although he had a squad of 22 men at first, had to build a team out of last year’s Junior High team and a few veterans. Football “dope” was upset when in the last game of the season, we de- feated St. Aloysius. St. Aloysius had defeated Rome, and this team had de- feated us in the first game of the sea- son. This last game showed the kind of team we had, and what Coach Schmidt could do with a squad of in- experienced men. Our first four losses were due to the fact that Canastota had for the year to build a team out of a squad composed mostly of men who have never played football before they came into high school. This makes it very difficult for the coach to produce a winning team until the season is most over. If every boy who comes into Junior High would go out for the Junior High team and learn the rudi- ments of the game, when he comes into high school the coach would have more of a chance to make a winning team. At the end of the season the team was given a banquet; block letters were given out, and John Ackerman was elected Captain for 1929. Much praise is due Mr. Schmidt for the work he accomplished this year, and we all hope with his continued efforts and our co-operation next year, we will have a team that Canastota can be proud of. The prospects of Canastota’s having a winning team next year are bright, for most of this year’s players will be back. 24 THE TOOT C. H. S. BASKETBALL TEAM 1st row: Clark, Perctta, S.

Coleman BASKETBALL Our basketball record this year is not an enviable one; yet very encour- aging to the eyes of the devoted fol- lowers of C. H. S. The basketball sea- son started off with the prospects for a fast combination to uphold the Al- ma Mater. Then due to ineligibility and injuries, several of the seasoned men were lost; leaving a willing, yet unseasoned group of boys to pick from. From only this material Coach Schmidt molded a fast team which finished fifth in the North Central New York Basketball League.

Who also, for a side line trains leaping frogs, legless tadpoles and barking dog fish. She is known by those who went to Wash- ington as Aunt Vera”. Although her classes are large they are always quiet. Miss Colton’s—specialities are home economics, interior decorating and management. Her aim is to make the world safe from divorce. Miss Mackey—Our History teacher for the past three years. She is known for her daily speech, “This is Ameri- can History, not kindergarten.” Her smiling face and cheerful manner have been a great asset to her his- tory classes. CLASS PROPHECY A few days ago as I was strolling down the Riviera I chanced to meet an old school mate of mine. It was Don Greiner all dolled up like no- body’s business. I asked him what he was doing and he replied that he was now proprietor of the Madison Theatre in Oneida. He also said that he was running a special matinee for all the boys and girls wishing to skip school. I told him that I was now superintendent of schools in Canasto- ta and this led to general gossip a- bout dear old days in C. H. S. Having taken leave of Don I set sail in my yacht, which was com- manded by my trusted captain, Char- lie Capparelli. I had as my guests on the yacht the famous “Jazz King” Max Freeman and his wife, who was formerly Gladys Fritz. We arrived at our destination which was Hamburg, Germany comparative- ly soon and heard Martin Gruber in a great concert hall, playing as ac- companist to the prima donna, Iva Keller. After the concert we congratu- lated them on their success and they invited us to dinner with Richard Coleman, the great dramatist as an- other guest. The next next morning we set sail for Sweden, where we found that George Gustafson was teaching Eng- lish (or what he considered English) in the Swedish public schools. Having talked over old times with “Olle” we renewed our voyage with South Amer- ica as our next stop. Here we found Marguerite Morrow, Marjorie Relyea and Jessie Mott runing an orphanage for crippled dogs. Having rounded Cape Horn we headed for Australia where Rosario Patane and Sherry Wood had just re- turned by air plane from their sum- mer home in Canastota. They spoke of the old friends they had met and told us that Marie Roberts otherwise known as “Fatso” is now running a beauty parlor in Whitelaw. Eetty Mus- acchio, they further told us is the head nurse of Canastota Memorial Hospital with Dr. Edward Nichols as her chief and nurses Santa Ponticello and Anna Kolar as her assistants. We thanked Rosario and Sherry for their information and proceeded on our journey. We reached the Philli- pines and docked our yacht at the boathouse of Floyd Wilson, who was now a millionaire merchant. That same evening we met Vernon Knees- kern who was in the Phillipines as a United States government surveyor, with Harold Williams as his assistant. Vern told us that Thelma Harrington was raising strawberries on an es- tate outside of Manila with Marjorie Homan and Martha Calhoun as her partners. On our way back to America we stopped at Cataline Island and found that Edwin Welch was directing a large moving picture company with Dorothy Braun as manager. When we reached home we each went back to our positions feeling that our trip had been a great suc- cess. We felt sure that the public would receive a great deal of benefit in one way or another from the pres- ence of every member of the class of 1929. —Elsie Williams 16 THE TOOT CLASS WILL Last Will and Testament: We, the senior class of 1929, being of a sound mind and body, do hereby make this last will and testament.

To Mrs. Smith, we leave our appre- ciation and thanks for all that she has done for us during the past year. To Miss LaLonde, we leave George Hazen to take Charles Capparelli’s place.

Coleman GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Our girl’s basketball season has been fairly successful, winning games and losing. A large share of the credit goes to our coach Miss “Uke” Our team, when we started had two veteran players, Ronnie Capparelli, our star guard and Jay Eaton, our crack side-center. Charlotte Church, our captain helps Jay in the center zone. Ruth Greiner assists Ronnie in the guard territory while Helen Grei- ner, our high scoring ace and Betty Mussachio compose the forwards. Due credit must be given to the second team, for they remained faith- ful to us thruout the season; Flor- ence Ackerman, Peg Relyea, Mabel Church, Elsie Williams, Peg Cady and Alice Stoner.

Under the coaching of “Pinky” Schmidt, who is the athletic coach, we had the most successful season in many years. There were two thrilling games of the season, one the Sherrill-Canastota and the other, the Oneida-Canastota game. The former was an 11 inning contest, finally won by hit by Gustaf- son which drove in Bertelero from second. The latter, although not a close game was very thrilling at least to the spectators who jumped up and down the sidelines ,and were over- joyed at the victory 7 to 4. Those who are returning for next year are Loren Coleman, Gerald Shaf- fer, Spadafora, Bertelero, Damico, Ay- ers, Clarke, Peretta. These along with the present Junior High ought to form into a snappy “outfit. With 8 regulars and Coach Schmidt the pros- pects are brighter than ever. The schedule: C. H. S. 8 _ - Oneida 2 C. H.

GLEE CLUB A better appreciation and a wider interest in music has been aroused in C. H. S. During the past year the boy’s and the girl's glee clubs, high school orchestra and the band were re-established. These organizations have played a large part in the activ- ities of the school in the past year. The girl’s glee club has made several appearances this year. The first activ- ity was the presentation of “Love Pirates of Hawaii.” This was a great success. During National Music Week both the boy’s and the girl’s clubs added their training and talent at the con- cert given by the high school students. Beside this, both have made many public appearances which have been unusually good. Their future looks bright. BAND In September of 1928 the high school band was reorganized under the di- rection of Mr. Rich with a member- ship of about twenty-five pieces. A short time later Mr. Rich left our faculty and accepted a position in Syracuse. To show his loyalty to C. H. S. he agreed to come to Canastota once each week and continue direct- ing the band. Also about this time Miss Gaudern started the beginners orchestra class. Although the band gave no public performance it has done much for training members for the High school orchestra. ORCHESTRA Under the steady drilling of our faithful music teacher, Miss Gaudern, tne high school orchestra finished a successful year. Success was marked 28 THE TOOT C. H. S. BAND 1st. row: R. Kneeskern, M. Newberry, M. Roberts, V. Capparclli, D .Fay, YV. Walton, 1. Buhrig, C. Tibbits, M. Cady; 2nd. row: Geo. Rich Principal McLean by numerous engagements. The or- chestra played for nearly all the plays enacted in the auditorium and had several outside engagements. It con- tributed no small part to the success of the celebration of the National music week in May. The work of the orchestra was gen- erally applauded; a solo and several duets by Martin Gruber and Edward Nichols proved hihgly successful. Musical activities were concluded with a party in which the glee clubs and orchestra participated. A much better orchestra is assured for next year. Through special efforts of Miss Gaudern a junior orchestra has been organized which will unite with the present one when school re- opens. The personnel is as follows: Director, Miss Lucia Gaudern First Violins—Martin Gruber, Ed- ward Nichols Second and Third Violins—Meredith Hough, Marian Dean, John Musacchio Tony Musacchio. Saxaphones—.June Braun, lone Rob- ertson Trumpets—Sherry Wood, Kenneth Clarke Cornet—Muriel Smith Flute—Mildred Campbell Drums—Carl Dentler, Gerald Shaffer Piano—Grace Reed, Reba Phillips DRAMATIC CLUB Our dramatic club was founded in 1927-28 by Miss Clines and six mem- bers. This year the club was greatly enlarged and Mr. Zapf became advis- or. The activities for the past school year are: Class play contest won by the sophomores who were presented with a silver loving cup. Sponsoring play ‘‘Give and Take given by Parmenter Co.

Participation in the annual play contest at Ithaca where we rated twelfth on school honors and seventh for individual honors. Several of our efforts were presented in chapel and were warmly accepted. Our big play of the year was Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen” which was a tremendous success. The cast was as follows: Mr. Baxter____________Donald Greiner Mrs. Baxter _______Charlotte Church Willie Baxter _____Charles VanZandt Lola Pratt ______________Mabel Church Johnnie Watson_________Emerson Welch May Parcher____________Lillian Morse Joe Bullit____________Herbert Norton Jane Baxter___________Genevieve Calli Genesis___________________Carl Dentler George Crooper _______Roland Buhrig Mary Brooks___________Mandalay Grems Wallie Banks ___________John Dineen. To arouse interest in the writing of plays as well as producing the club has offered a prize for the best play to be written by the students to be a- warded next October. To close our school year we cele- brated with a picnic and theatre par- ty at Syracuse. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES There were many things this year to occupy one’s leisure moments. No one should have it said that he did not take part in some school activity. We are quite proud of our athletics this year and we all should be. The football team last fall was fine. Des- pite the fact that they lost some games they showed a wonderful fight- ing spirit and should have been back- ed by the school more than they were. Then came basketball, the sport of sports. The boys team was splen- 30 THE TOOT C. H. S. DRAMATIC CLUB 1st. row: C. Dentler, J. Dinosn, G. Calli, K. Clark, Coach Zapt,; 2nd. row: L. Costanzo, E. Welch, L. Morse, A. Hermann, E. Williams, M.

Quite a few turn- ed out for varsity practice, but there could and should have been more for both teams. Baseball is not so popular as football or basketball but the team deserves prais6 and backing just the same. We’re hoping it comes to the front in the next few years. Then, of course we must not forget volley ball nor hit pin baseball. These are both exciting sports as most of us have no- ticed, either from the balcony or the field when class tournaments were being held. Our band and orchestra deserve much atention. The band has pro- gressed rapidly and no one should fail to praise its work. But the orchestra, I think takes the prize in our outside school activities. We have all heard them play and have been well pleased. In all of our school entertainments, and we have had many, it has always supplied us with delightful music, es- pecially when it accompanied the “Op- eretta.” We must not forget our be- ginners on the violin. Perhaps, you have not as yet real- ized our progress. No doubt we are in the background for the time being, but just give us time and praise. All of us are acquainted with the “Red and White.” The staff was ac- tive and produced excellent work. Of course, though it took alert, active people to do the work and the mem- bers of the staff there are a few more eligible ones who did not hold a po- sition at some time thruout the year. Everyone was deeply interested in the class plays. Some of us were not fortunate enough to take the part of any of the characters in the casts. THE TOOT .1 o i C. II. S.

It any one missed seeing the “Red and White Follies,” he certainly miss- ed a fine entertainment. It was full of good music, comedy and all that makes an entertainment a good one. We hope that the students of the classes of next year will go in for school activities as much, if not more, than they have this year. It’s loads of fun and every one get a “kick” out of entering any of these activities. —M. Homan and M.

K. K. ACTIVITIES 1928-1929 In June of 1928, the following offi- cers were elected for the next two semesters. President, Mary Frost; Vice-President, Ruth Greiner; Secre- tary, Iva L. Keller; Corresponding- secretary, Marie Roberts; Treasurer, Elizabeth Musacchio. On September 12, the society held Its annual “rushing party.’’ A meeting was held, nine new members were taken in, and Miss Lucia Gaudern was elected K. E. advisor to take the place of Miss Edith Conkling who left town. Rough-house initiation was held at school and solemn initiation at the home of Miss Marie Roberts. The annual K. E. ball was held at the High School on Dec. 27, 1928. Social parties were held each month at the homes of the members. Two meetings were held at Miss Gaudern’s home. At one time a fudge party was held; at another, the girls made candy and committees were appointed to sell it at school. At a later meeting it was announc- ed that the National K. E. society had decided to have emblems of blue and gold. The girls made these and sewed them to their clothing. Later a spaghetti supper was put on at the high school for the purpose of raising money. Near the end of the term the socie- ty held its annual dance which was a very successful affair. —Sara Sykes •JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL We closed another very successful season, with about two-thirds of our games. Our worst defeat, was by 6 points. In several games the total points of both teams totaled only 12 points. Next year promises even greater success. THE TOOT 33 DEMOLAY The Canastota Chapter, Order of DeMolay was instituted by the Syra- cuse Chapter January 30, 1926. The Chapter started with a roll of thirty- nine members few of whom are still active in the Chapter. The Chapter is sponsored by Lodge No. 231 F. A. M. Certain officers from the Masonic Lodge act as ad- visors to the Chapter and its mem- bers are known to DeMolay’s as “Dads.” Since its institution the Chapter has advanced rapidly in membership, ac- tivities and carrying out its purpose. At Christmas time the Chapter at- tended the Methodist church attired in their robes which designate their office and station. The Chaplain and Master Councilor taking active part in the services. In January their second annual Father and Son Banquet was held at the Masonic Temple with the Master Councilor as toastmaster and “Dad” George Crouse of Syracuse as speaker of the evening. He related his trip a- cross the Atlantic in the Graf Zepplin. Judge A. E. Campbell and Master of Syracuse Chapter LeRoy Torpy also gave interesting talks. The mothers, sisters and friends of the members served the banquet. The next large social event was the annual DeMolay Ball held during the Easter vacation at the Dancing Acad- emy. It was recognized as the most successful event of its kind held by the Chapter. The Parisian Orchestra of Syracuse University furnishing the music. At the third annual State Conclave held at Niagara Falls Canastota Chap- ter was represented by six delegates and two “Dads.” Namely Robert Haines and George Nichols. The pur- pose of this Conclave is to build up and renew acquaintance and brother- hood between Chapters in different parts of the State and to further the purposes of DeMolay. DeMolay has certainly proven its sincereness and worthwhileness to all who are associated and interested in the Chapter. — Donn” GAMMA CHI The Gamma Chi, the Catholic Girls’ Society was organized in December 1926. This society at present has forty- five members with Ada Ceasarini as president, Pearl Venturine as vice- president, Mollie Cerio as treasurer and secretary. The members receive Holy Communion on the third Sunday of every month. The rules and regula- tions were drawn up by Father Shaughnessy and a council of six. Many social affairs have been held in the Church Hall during the year under the auspices of this society and the profits were given to the church. A Requiem High Mass was held in memory of Vera Auselio on the seventh day of March. —E. M. Lil: “Hello.” Roland: “Hello, this Lil?” Lil: “Yes” Roland: Do you still love me?” Lil: “Yes, who is it?” Mabel: “Do you think a girl should love before twenty?” Sherry: “No, that is too large an audience.” Leonard Coon: “What’s the matter with your hair, Helen?” Helen Castle: “I have a prominent wave.” Reba: “Where’s Eddie?” Mrs. Nichols: “Upstairs with a pain . Reba: (angrily) “Who’s she?” “Pat” Dineen (while leading cheers) “Come on, girls, show ’em you’re red and white supporters.” 34 THE TOOT ALUMNI NOTES Class of 1892 William Groat is a prominent physi- cian in Syracuse.
