ROBERT McLEAN Principal of Canastota High School To our steadfast friend, our patient teacher and our able principal, Mr. McLean, the Class of 1930 takes the pleasure of dedicating this book. THE TOOT EDITORIAL LOOKING BACK OVER 1930 THE PROGRESS OF CANASTOTA HIGH SCHOOL In reviewing the past school year, the forward progress of Canastota High School stands out impressively along a dozen diverse lines. This suc- cess has not been mediocre; it has been so outstanding as to attract tne attention of the most casual observer. By defeating a number of the strongest league outfits in the central section of the state, Canastota ranks with some of the nearby cities in the basketball field. The staging of the deciding championship game of the North Central League between Rome Free Academy and Oswego High School, was on our court. This proved one more step forward in town and school prominence. The girls’ basket- ball team by losing only one game of the season aided the boys in high ath- letic attainments. The fact that only three regents papers were returned from Albany, points to a higher scholastic rating. During the past year, dramatics have assumed a permanent place in the school curriculum. The Dramatic Club presented a one-act play at the contest sponsored by the William’s School of Dramatic Art in Ithaca; the play received honorable recognition. Members of the club broadcast a one- act play from Utica as a feature of the ‘‘boost Canastota” program; this production was a pronounced success. With these rank the third edition of the Red and White Follies and the Senior play, “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing.” The prize speaking contest was featured among those activities which have increased in student popularity. There was such a large number of contestants this year that two semi- finals were necessary to reduce the number to that required for the finals. The gymnasium has been fully equipped and the school library has been considerably enlarged. A French Club has been organized and a large membership is the result. There is one brilliant factor in the upward growth of the high school which far outranks all other achieve- ments in significance; it adds a lus- tre and a finishing touch to the year of 1930 in school history; it approach- es something of a turning point in a lengthy process; without it no school is even partially complete. This is-- the increase which is manifest in the school spirit of Canastota High School. I know the majority of the student body has failed to note the change; many believe the school has declined rather than progressed in this respect. If you think so, you are wrong! It is by no means a surface growth; it can only be noted by searching and searching deeply into the activities and life of the school. The past two semesters have viewed a change in the old policies of former years. If you have been a member of the Dra- matic Club or the basketball teams you have doubtless sensed and felt this change. Our school spirit has been at last set upon a firm road to ad- vancement and development. Tribute may be paid in a large measure for tnis change in school policy to Mr. Bogardus our Superintendent and Mr. McLean, our Principal. —C. C. 12 THE TOOT BOARD OF EDUCATON Charles H. Hoffman, President Norman L. Stafford Judge Albert E. Campbell Dr. David M. Hoyt May Chapman Phillips Five citizens, each outstanding in his own profession, compose the Can- astota High School Board of Educa- tion. This group of four men and one woman has efficiently directed and sponsored the school activities for the past year. Under their guidance the high school has raised its scholastic standing in the various departments; the school equipment has been in- ---------T creased; the school has become more widely known. They have met every issue with fine judgment and excell- int ability. The Senior Class of 1930 in collaboration with the entire stud- ent body takes this opportunity to ex- press their appreciation of the tire- less efforts and accomplishments of this small group of educational pro- moters. UPON READING VIRGIL” (The year 1930 is the bimillennial anniversary of Virgil’s birth.) He played, a Carthaginian bard and sang of the wandering moon. His flowing locks touched gold to his gilded lyre. In a silvery voice, with his sweeping smile, he spun a magical tune To the ineense-burning altars of desire. He painted sunlit places, and sea-foam gleaming bright; The constellations of the seven stars. He sang of meteor races across a starlit night Like the flashing of the naked sword of Mars; Of gloomy forests black with fir and cliffs stretched toward the sky; Of distant battles, victory and joy; Of pulsing oars, tall ships and soldiers scorning life to die; Of Greek Achilles and the doom of Troy. His tongue with bright agility leapt down the dear years ceased. He snared long-slumb’ring mem’ries in his net. Aeneas must have wept that night Aeneas who had tried so to forget. ----------T- Jennie Mae: “Why have you got your socks on wrong side out?” Hollis: “My feet got hot so I turned the hose on them.” at Dido’s royal feast____ —By Charlotte Church Roland: “Your teeth look like pearls in the moonlight.’ ’ Lillian: “ Mmm, since when have you been going out with Pearl?” THE TOOT 13 CLASS POEM PONEMAH By Charlotte Church His outflung arms, stretched upward with his gaze Up, up toward sunset clouds___a statue tall Of bronze etched dull against the flashing blaze Held gripped by unseen hands. The valley wall Of zigzag hills pink-shaded at the crest In twilight’s mystic sway of loveliness, Linked sweetness of old wanderings to his eyes. The eyes of the young chief were strangely drawn. For youth was leaving him with sweet goodbyes. His fast must end, his youth end with the dawn. He prayed to Manito in young despair. The dawn, he knew, would bid him forward go Down manhood’s paths to rule, he knew not where His peopie in the valley far below. He stood, awe-struck, held by the fairyland Of buttressed walls like ripples petrified. The dreamy Spring with never-lagging hand Enhanced with fragrant scent this paradise. The silent, pulsing panorama’s hold Obliterated scarlet, mauve and gold. A young chief staring out into the night— The stars were silver teardrops in the sky. The foam-flecked river mottled ghostly white Wept with the wind a silver lullaby. A flash across his eyelids and he waked. He rose, amazed, as sorrow left his face— Why just Iasi night the bitter thought had raked His soul; that youth had lost the even race. And yet he found these cares dropped from his heart As he gazed out across the valley’s rim. For dawn hurled at him all the skillful art Her everlasting charms could muster in. He prayed once more, bathed in the gleaming whirl; Rapt in the dawn, the promise of the world. The lofty pine-fringed crests of emerald green; The stately pinnacles—blood scarlet swords Piercing the pendant clouds with violet sheen; A dewy field with dainty daisy hordes Smiled sweetly in quaint, gracious dignity. He dropped his gaze upon the valley floor, To where the spiral smoke contentedly Climbed on wings above his tribal door. The peace and sunshine of the world, unrolled, Lay like a bendiction on his soul. With sparkling eyes in which clean visions rest. Straight as an iris leaf, slim as a lance; Resolved to give the waiting world his best; He turned into the path where shadows dance, The winding path down, down the mountain slope The path with duty, toils and dangers sowed While confidence enshrined his heart with hope, The Spirit led him down the Spring-white road. Into the world, a man grown wondrous wise; And yet those silver stars clung in his eyes_______ Ponemah is an Indian word meaning “hereafter”. 14 THE TOOT 1X 3 Iif am' i SENIOR CLASS CLASS HISTORY OF 1930 We, Seniors of 1930, entered High School as freshmen in the fall of 1926. Young as we were, I am sure none of us have forgotten the day we were initiated by the sophomores. We marched in front of the study hall a- mid the laughter of those called up- perclassmen. We were told not to re- move the paint from our faces or ribbons from our hair, but a few, who were more daring than the rest, bold- ly removed theirs. In the fall of our freshman year we had a corn roast at Rommel’s camp to which the faculty was in- vited, although only a few attended. In the fall of 1927, as Sophomores, we elected officers with Mandalay Grems, president. Our advisors were Miss Powers and Mrs. Milmoe. The freshmen were initiated that fall by , us, amusing us more than it did them. In October we held a Hallowe’en par- ty in the old high school. Everyone enjoyed himself. There was plenty of cider and doughnuts, although one jug of cider did, very mysteriously walk out. At the beginning of the new term in January our class elected officers again with Charles VanZandt Front row, left to right: H. Allis, B. Kolar, R. Kolar, M. Calli, M. Grems, E. Ponticello, A. Stoner, E. Sykes, M. Carr, J. Braun. Second row, left to right: M. Olcott, M. Buhrig, L. Morse, P. Venturine, M. Roberts, C. McCul- lough, M. Walton, M. Woolsey. Third row, left to right: M. Frost, C. Church, M Cady, V. Kilts, D. Calhoun, Louise Powers, Advisor; R. Stone. Back row, left to right: C. Dentler, C. Sykes, G. Hertel, I. Wells, I. Margrey, Frances Jutkiewicz, Advisor; G. Klock, S. Sorbello, J. Dinneen. THE TOOT 15 as president. We had several other parties and business meetings during th year which were attended by the majority of the class. When school convened in the fall of 1928-29, a Junior meeting was held at which officers were elected with Arthur Hermann as president, Eudora Sykes as secretary and treasurer. Miss Powers and Miss Jutkiewicz were our advisors. Our financial problems were solved by each member paying 10 cents a month dues. This was profit- able_in some cases. The play present- ed by our class in the first one-act play contest was ‘‘The Trysting Place” by Booth Tarkington. In January we elected officers a second time. Eva Ponticello was chosen president and Eudora Sykes secretary and treasurer. Our class entertained the seniors by giving a picnic at Chittenango Falls, last June. We enjoyed ourselves and believe that the Seniors did. Before commencement it is the duty of the Junior class to decorate the auditor- ium for the seniors, and last year we carried out this task. We ushered at both the baccalaureate and the grad- uation exercises. Our last deed to be performed as the Junior class was serving at the Alumni banquet. In the fall of 1929 we elected offi- cers with Miriam Walton as president, Mary Frost as treasurer and Eudora Sykes as secretary. Our advisors were' Miss Powers and Miss Jutkiewicz. In the one-act play contest we presented the play “Neighbors.” We have sold candy and pencils to earn money this year. After regents were ended in January rehearsals were started for the senior play “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Every senior helped to sell tickets, so that our profits were about $90. The members of the Senior Class have been active in many school ac- tivities. I am sure they will be missed by the dramatic club, glee club and in athletics. We send our best wishes for pros- perous years to me coming senior classes and hope that they will ac- complish what we have left undone. —Mandalay Grems JUNIORS ’31 The year nineteen hundred and twenty-nine and thirty was a success- ful one for the class of thirty-one. The first meeting was held in Septem- ber 1929 for the purpose of electing officers and choosing a drama for the one-act play contest. Officers for the year were elected as follows: Presi- dent, lone Robertson; Secretary, Joy TeWinkel; Treasurer, Katherine Grei- ner. Miss Anna B. Clines and Mrs. Everett Jones are our advisors. Our greatest triumph was the In- ter-class one-act play contest in which we were victorious. We won a loving cup, a gift of the Dramatic Club, for the class. The play presented was “Thursday Evening” by Christopher Morley. The members of the cast in- cluded lone Robertson, Thomas Spad- afora, Joy TeWinkel, and Muriel Buh- rig. Their names and the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one have been engraved on the cup. The first social event of the year was a corn roast held at Robertson’s camp in September. We enjoyed a very pleasant evening. The Junior-Senior picnic, which is expected to be the biggest social event of the year, will take place some time during Commencement Week. The class desires to express their appreciation for the loyal and effic- ient services of their advisors during the past year. —Joy TeWinkel, Secretary 16 THE TOOT SOPHOMORES 'u The Sophomore Class of 1932 was very active in school affairs. Many of the class were on the baseball, bas- ketball, and football teams. The officers were: President, Law- rence Waldo; Vice-president, Marion Lennox; Secretary and Treasurer Ruth Sykes. Our advisors were Miss Calli and Miss Mackey. The colors are old rose and silver. The class held a weiner roast in the fall at Chittenango Falls, and later a Christmas party and a sleighride. In the one-act play contest the Sophs presented “The Travelers” by Booth Tarkington. —Reba Phillips. ■T- FRESHMEN ’33- The Freshmen class has 124 mem- bers At their first meeting, Sally Yar- nell was elected president, Fred Verro, vice-president, Lucie Tibbits, secretary and Homer McCoon, treasurer. Miss LaLonde and Mrs. Smith were class advisers. All looked forward to the initiation which made them full fledged High School students. This came and pass- ed. The first thing therefore (follow- ing the old tradition) was to have a picnic. Plans were made to hold it at Chittenango Falls. The sophomores still on the alert found it out, so the plans were changed by the executive committee. Many attended the picnic. As an ex- Sally Yarnell: “Who is that one man in the blue coat, dear?” Milton Clarke: “He’s the umpire darling.” Sally Yarnell: “And why does he have that funny wire thing on his face?” Milton Clarke: “To keep him from biting the players.” Pat Dinneen: The poor fish looks kinda musical.” Dick Coleman: “Yep. Perhaps a pi- ano tuna.” tra precaution against the sophs, at the start we headed towards the Falls but ended at Nabor’s Grove. Only two sophs appeared. A play for the one-act contest “Sta- tion YYYY” by Booth Tarkington was chosen. We enjoyed giving this play though it did not win a prize. Homer McCoon, the treasurer mov- ed away in January and Nancy Camp- bell was elected to take his place. Much work was spent on preparing interesting chapel periods. Many good musicians and speakers were secured and we are still indebted to them for helping us. In order to swell the treasury, beads were sold until the end of the year. —Lucie Tibbits, Secretary Paully (on phone): “Will you please put June on the wire?” Mrs. Braun: “What ’dya think my daughter is, a tight-rope walker?” Eva P.: “Oh, Emerson, you have egg spilled all over the front of your coat. Emerson: “That’s all right, I look well in anything I eat.” Ollie: “I have an athletic heart.” Gerald: “That’s nothing; I have ath- letic underwear.” THE TOOT WHO’S WHO IN C. H. S.

For these many years I have not heard or seen anything of them, but one day as I passed a cry- stal-gazing tent at the State Fair, I decided to see what fortune had dealt each one. I entered this very bizarre looking place and was thereupon told to cross the lady’s palm with silver. As she spoke, it seemed as if I had heard her voice before. I gazed at her for a moment and then shouted—Catherine McCullough! She immediately recog- nized my loud voice which had not changed much in ten years and we began to talk about old high school days. I asked her about a few of our school mates and she knew no more about them than I, but she said that she would consult her crystal and see what pictures would be brought be- fore her. We sat in silence for several minutes and then Catherine spoke— I can see many things—our old friend Marie Roberts is the assistant music teacher at Wampsville Acade- my. Earl Lockerby gives daily radio talks on the home life of the Tomato Worm and other insects harmful to agriculture and Mandalay Grems has world fame as a chemist. It was she who discovered the tonic that is guar- anteed to preserve the color of red hair. Madeline Woolsey is an opera singer in Gruber’s new Metropolitan Opera and is well known on the rad- io. Katherine Greiner owns and runs a tea room at Oneida Creek. Charlotte Church, who had journal- istic ambition is the Editor of the “Peoria Daily.” Carl Dentler is the champion xylophone player of the United States and a collector of sib verware. “Eudie” Sykes is somebody’s “Stenog” and Pearl Venturine has risen to a great height as private secretary to Mr. McLean. George Her- tel is the originator of that famous Hertel’s Hair Restorer. Hazel Allis and Ruby Stone main- tain a school for dumb animals— mostly boys, with Curtis Cronk as Assistant Principal. Bessie and Rosie Kolar, the only twins our high school could ever boast of are back in Can- astota and their main occupation is gum samplers for C. H. S. “Peg” Cady has realized her greatest ambition— head Football coach at Colgate. Lillian Morse is keeping the home fires burning for Roland. Sam Sorbello is now the chauffeur for the Indian Opening school child- ren. Betty Musacchio is a special nurse (dark, curly-haired boys pre- ferred) in St. Lawrence University’s Infirmary. Gordon Klock is still the answer to a Maiden’s Prayer and Alice Stoner is a model at Gimbel’s in New York City. Inez Wells is the hostess of Perryville’s foremost night club. Irene Margrey, the girl with the megaphone voice is now the champ- ion husband caller of Perryville and Muriel Buhrig is way over in Sweden trying to teach German to the little Swedish boys and girls. Dorothy Cal- houn teaches the Canastota High School boys hotel management. Alas! Poor Charlie Sykes, whom the teachers used to pick on, is now married and is head of the Henpecked Husbands’ Union. Miriam Walton is still declaring that she will not sup- port a husband and is an old maid school teacher. Charles Ostrander has become one of the most impressive of all the lecturers on me Redpath Chau- tauqua’s summer tours. Charlie doesn’t even turn pale at the sight of women in the audience. Mary Calli is a chorus girl, the sixth blonde from the left, in Ziegfeld’s Follies of 1940. John Dinneen is a high pressure salesman for “Flit”. Mary Carr is the precep- tress of Union Corners High School. THE TOOT Vera Kilts, who showed much promise in her home-making class, is now a dress designer at Clockville. Eva Pon- ticello is known in Hollywood’s smart- est circles as ‘‘Theda Bara, the sec- ond.” Minnie Olcott has climbed the ladder to success and is the assistant kindergarten teacher at Peterboro. Her main duty is to put the little children’s coats, hats and rubbers on when they go out to play. “The Crystal becomes blank said Catherine, “I can see no more.” I wanted to talk some more about the good old school days, but people were waiting in a long line outside Catherine’s tent to see what the cry- stal held for them. I sadly said “good- CLASS We, the class of 1930, of Canastota High School, village of Canastota, Town of Lenox, County of Madison, State of New York, being of sound mind and body, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testa- ment, hereby declaring null and void any other document which may be drawn up by any one of this imbecile body. To the Juniors, we leave our dignity and the front seats in Chapel, pro- viding they get there ahead of the Freshmen. To Miss Powers and Miss Jutkie- wicz, our worthy advisers, we leave our deepest appreciation for their un- tiring efforts in our behalf thruout the year. To Mr. McLean we leave an auto- matic silencer in the study hall to op- erate from 8:57 to 9:00 A. M. and from 1:12 to 1:15 P. M. To Mr. Schmidt we leave a set of five thousand volumes on “Prehistoric Man” and a pair of glasses and a dict- ionary so that he can read and inter- pret those he already has. Eudora leaves her typewriting abil- ity to Joseph Chapman. bye” to my old school mate and we promised each other that we would get together again. As I walked along, lost in my thoughts, I bumped into some one with a force that almost knocked me over. It was Mr. Cox, my old friend, who is still sweeping the floors of the high school and making loving couples leave the building at 4:30. It seemed good to see Mr. Cox again and we had a long visit. This was a memorable day in my life, to hear about my school mates again, and as I started home these words came into my mind: The thoughts of you, so good, so true, Will fill our eyes with tears.” —Mary Frost WILL We thoughtfully dedicate the park- ing place in the library to Kenneth and Marion. Marie leaves her plumpness to Fran- ces Hinkel. Mandalay leaves her giggle to Ruth Sykes. Eva leaves her style to Ruth Blow- ers. To Curtis Cronk we leave a “Stone” crusher and a “Cotton” mill equipped with a spinning “Jenny.” Lillian leaves her man-hating traits to Charlienne Cotton. Vera leaves her love of history tc Jay Eaton. Peg Cady leaves her fondness for gym to Emogene Pickard. To George Hazen we leave a per- manent position as mattress tester Mary Carr leaves her seriousness to Fredric Dew. Mary Frost leaves about a foot of her height to Grace Reed. Mary Calli leaves her ability to flirt to lone Robertson. To Mr. Zapf we leave a magazine in which to publish his little jokes on the students. To Virginia Peach the Senior girls 20 THE TOOT bequeath their opportuniites for flirta- tion with the C. H. S. boys for one year at compound interest. To Fredric Dew a pair of Jazz Gar- ters. To Emerson Welch we leave an au- tomatic wind-shield wiper for use in History C class when cleaning his glasses. The girls’ basketball team leaves to the boys’ basketball team a ground- hog for a mascot. To the Chapel students we leave a supply of grass blades on which to sound their pitch. To those students who possess strong criminal qualities we leave a pair of footpads with which to walk past Miss Clines’ door when going in the wrong direction. John TeWinkel and Helen Guss- willer are the receivers of a bicycle built for two on which they can take the corners with more speed. The foregoing goods having been be- queathed as we saw fit and necessary we do hereby appoint Mr. Cox as ex- ecutor of our last will and testament.

We had a team which would not give in. After a defeat it would practice all the harder for the next game with the result that the scores were raised above those of the year before. When Ken Clarke hurt his shoulder in the Rome game it was thought that one of our mainstays in the backfield was lost for the rest of the season but he was soon back on the team, fighting as hard as ever. An- other boy who took a lot of punish- ment was Joe Reed who was hurt in several games. There will be several players who will be greatly missed on this year’s team. They are: “Scud” Dew, “Gord” Klock, “Ed” Nichols, “Ebert” Wood, Olle” Gustafson. Those who received block letters are as follows: “Scud” Dew. “Gord” Klock, “Ken Clarke, “Vinnie” Grilli, “Joe” Reed, “Syd” Shaffer, “Joe” Mau- ro, “Ebert” Wood, “Laddie” Lake, “Jim” Maloney, “Howard Bellamy, “Pidge” Norton, “Putt” Nodecker, Harold Hollenbeck.

BOY’S BASKETBALL In looking back over our schedale this year’s basketball schedule is bet- ter than last year’s. Out of the 25 games we played we won 14. Unfort- unately, most of the games lost were league games of which we won 4 and lost 6, putting us in fourth place in the North Central New York Bas- ketball League. C. H. S. had a fast team, each player struggled for a place on the first team. If records prove anything, C. H. S. ought to win a place in the trophy department next year. Block letter men for the year are: Capt. G. Gustafson, S. Tornatore, L. Lake, S. Shaffer, F. Peretta, C. D’Am- ico, T. Russo, C. Tornatore, K. Clarke, T. Spadafora, C. Dentler, manager.

P. team by a 3 point margin. On January 17, 1930 they defeated Fulton by 11 points, the following week however, they lost to the Fulton lassies. They played two-court rules and needed only 7 points to beat the Fultonians. Following this game they won 8 con- secutive ones and lost their final game at Cazenovia by one point. This made a total of 14 games and only two of which were defeats. The following girls won their block letters: Ruth Greiner, Captain; Ver- onica Capparelii, Helen Greiner, Eliza- beth Musacchio, Jennie Mae Eaton, Charlotte Church, Mary Frost, Mabel Church, Florence Ackerman, Elena Albanese and Margery Cady, manager. Much credit must also be given to Martha James and Helen Hough. The reserves won two games from the Sherrill Reserves by large scores. All this proves what a fine coach we have. We all appreciate the best coach we have ever had, Miss Jutkie- wicz. The girls were entertained at a ban- quet at the home of Florence Acker- 32 THE TOOT BASEBALL TEAM Front row, left to right: M.

There were seven regulars from last year and only two new men. Hamlin and Bar- tholomew on this year’s lineup. The blow of the season came early with the illness of “Holly” Gardinier, our star pitcher and consequently he was disabled for the remainder of the year. Hough and Shaffer are doing the twirling in his absence. All the regulars of this year’s team will be present when the roll is called again for baseball in 1931 except Gus- tafson and Gardinier. GIRL’S MINOR SPORTS A new sport was introduced into Canastota High School this year. It has never been played here before be- cause of lack of equipment. This year we have one of the best equipped gymnasiums in this section of the state. This new sport is hockey. It is played out of doors on a large field with sticks and a cricket ball. There are eleven players on each team. Hockey was received with great en- thusiasm by the girls. After school sessions were held twice a week for high school girls and twice a week for the Junior High school girls. Archery is also a newly introduced sport. Another sport in which the girls participated was Hit-Pin Baseball. An inter-class tournament was held which was won by the sixth period class This sport has received attention for two years at the high school. An inter-class girls’ basketball tournament was played. The varsity members made up the coaching staff, each one having a team to advise and instruct. The games were played in the high school gymnasium after school. The “Shooting Fools” a team in the fourth period class, won the tournament. The members of the whi- ning team received counts for their block letters. Baseball teams were formed in the girls’ gymnasium classes. Tournament games were played off in the gymna- sium after school. The fifth period class won the tournament. These players also received block letter THE TOOT 33 VA SS I I I Mi I M-AV11 SENIOR PLAY Front row, left to right: M. Roberts, E. Ponticello, M. Woolsey, M. Walton, M. Grems.

All these sports were played and enjoyed under the supervision of the girls’ athletic instructor, Miss Fran- ces Jutkiewicz. She also planned and directed the girls’ gymnasium exhib- its —Margery Cady Eudora Sykes GLEE CLUB During the past year the girls have greatly enjoyed their work in the Glee Club. Miss Gaudern, our instructor, chose many varied and interesting select- ions for our work. Among them Come to the Fair’” by Easthope Martin, “Mighty Lak a Rose” by Ethelburt Nevin, Songs My Mother Taught Me” by Dvorak, “By the Waters of Minnetonka” by Thurlan Lieurance and “Tales of Hoffman”. In March the boys and girls glee clubs presented the operetta “H. M. S. Pinafore” by Gilbert and Sullivan. No admission was charged. During the month of April several new members joined the club and are very interested in the work. We hope the Glee Club next year will be as successful as the one of 1930. • —Madeline Woolsey ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year has been some what weak due to the fact that most of our musicians were only be- THE TOOT 35 I AsSSS ORCHESTRA Front row, left to right: M.

The first event of the year was a social meeting at Miss Gaudern’s a- partment. It was an occasion of much hilarity and as a result Marion Dean had to pay seventy-five cents to re- move cocoa stains from his “Sunday” trousers. The next event was a Hallowe’en party given by the Oneida orchestra. Members of the Sherrill orchestra were also invited. The refreshments were cider, sandwiches and dough- nuts upon Which two of our members feasted unstintedly. A few of the mem- bers were lucky enough to have their fortunes told. Those who did, however kept the harrowing details to them- selves. The orchestra appeared in public only a few times and always with success. Because it was necessary to practice upon selections for “Pina- fore” so diligently, the orchestra was unable to go to Syracuse for the con- tests held there. A few, however, at- tended the contests and derived much pleasure from them. The orchestra will be going strong next year with the absence of only two members. Hubert Blowers, who is now trying his luck at farming and Marie Roberts who will be away at school. It is hoped that more of our high school musicians will join us next year. —Marie Roberts DRAMATIC CLUB At the first meeting of the Drama- tic Club the following officers were elected for the year: President, Marie Roberts; Vice- president, Mandalay Grems; Secre- tary, Pearl Venturine; Treasurer, Em- erson Welch. The first birthday of the club was celebrated at the October meeting. A delicious cake with one candle was donated by Mrs. Clark Roberts. The second annual inter-play con- test was held in October, the Juniors again winning the cup. The annual play which was “Daddy Long Legs” was given December 4. Twelve students were pledged to the club thru their work in this play. Eight of the Dramatic Club mem- bers played leading parts in the Sen- ior play, “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing.” Several club members appeared as principals in H. M. S. Pinafore” given by the music department of the school. All of the club members appeared as principals in the Third Edition of the Red and White Follies given for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The club sponsored a one-acj. play- writing contest giving $10 as the prize to a student writing the best play. The prize went to Dorothea Walters.

On May 20th the Dramatic Club bijoadcasted a half-hour in the “Biiost Canastota” program from Station WI BX, Utica, N. Y. Mary Frost gave a vocal solo and Carl Dentler a xylo- phone solo accompanied on the piano by Grace Reed. Martin Gruber and Edward Nichols played a violin duet accompanied on the piano by Curtis Cronk, and the play “Help Yourself” was presented with the following cast Mary Calli, Mandalay Grems, John Dinneen, Meredith Hough and Emer- son Welch. The club donated the orphan’s dresses used in the play “Daddy Long Legs” to the Family Service League for the Community Christmas and also strung popcorn for the Commun- ity Tree. The new members were initiated into the organization at the May meet- ing and gave a humorous skit in as- sembly as part of the initiation. The year’s activity ended with a picnic.

As there were more girl entries than boys, an elimination contest was conducted before Easter, leaving eight boys and eight girls. The semifinal contests were held in two divisions, on May ninth and May sixteenth. Those who participated in the finals as a result of these elimi- nations were: Joy TeWinkel, Helen Castle, Mabel Church and Mandalay Grems. On May twenty-third, the annual prize speaking contest was held at which Emerson Welch was awarded first prize for boys, Sherry Wood, sec- ond. Mandalay Grems, first prize for girls, Joy TeWinkel, second. It is hoped that a larger number of students will participate next year, and that competition will be keener. —Mandalay Grems THE TOOT K.

Activities The following officers were elected June 1929 for the two semesters: Pres- ident, Ruth Greiner; Vice-president, Florence Ackerman; Secretary, Lillian Morse; Corresponding Secreary, Mir- iam Walton; Treasurer, Madeline Woolsey. “Rough house’’ initiation was held October 9, 1929. Solemn initiation was held at Marie Roberts’ home Friday, October 11, 1929, after whicn we went to Fout’s for our banquet. Our president, Ruth Greiner, and Mandalay Grems were our delegates to Grand Lodge which was held at Schenectady. The annual K. E. Ball was given December 26 in the high school gym and was a success. During the winter a sleigh ride was held after which we enjoyed a hutch and games at Mary Calli’s home. A mid-year initiation was held at Thelma Dentler’s home May 7, 1930. Those new members will receive their “rough house” initiation and will be given their banquet next September. Miss Frances Jutkiewicz was also initiated as our new advisor, who will take the place of Miss Lucia Gaudern. We hope that the K. E. will be more successful in its financial activ- ities next year, and that the new members will enjoy their work. —Lillian Morse 40 THE TOOT I I 7ZZ£$ IVZSSl I 11I VZ£$ .JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL TEAM Front Row, left to right: J.
