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 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
