The Senior class leaves to the Jun- iors our dignity and ability in obtain- ing high averages. To the Freshman class we leave the hope that they will sometime be re- garded with awe and admiration which we have received during the past year. To the Athletic Association we leave the right to buy new gym equipment as soon as they can raise enough money. 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. To Miss Clines, we leave all our English notebooks. One year from the night of our graduation we ask that the said Miss Clines will commemor- ate our memory by slowly casting them on a fire. To Mr. Zapf, we leave a 50 cent ci- gar for directing us in our class play, A Full House.” To Miss Colton, we leave a large supply of bank books. To Miss Uke” we leave the gym equipment that she was to have re- ceived last year. That is, if she can raise the money. To “Pinkey”, the girls leave a lease on the gym floor during basketball season.

George says, “Handle with care.” Betty Musacchio leaves her basket- ball ability to Charlienne Cotton. Ed Nichols leaves Reba to Martin on one condition, that Madeline Wool- sey is always with them.

THE TOOT 15 his notes around and to converse with the teachers for him. Mrs. Smith—Who teaches physics, algebra and biology. 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
