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

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.

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.”
