We seniors know that this is a month of orators and orations, who and which are only half right or per- haps a quarter right. “My dear young men and women” they will soon be saying “you go out today to face the world as representa- tives of your dear alma mater. I know that you will always reflect in your lives the lessons you have been taught within these beloved walls.” And the dear young men and wom- en will find unexpected lumps in their throats and the sudden realization in their hearts that after all these walls are beloved and parting from them is more sorrowful business than they had supposed. Principals and teachers will smile more benignly than they have smiled since the corresponding occasion last June and proud parents will listen and beam and blink a- way a te� r because their children have grown up. The orators are partly right, yes, like young men and women they will reflect in their lives the lessons they have been taught but only for a part of the next few years. The technical knowledge which is the school’s leg- () TI JE TOOT acy will gradually give way to exper- ience as a guide in their life work. The gradings—once so important— will be forgotten. What the dear young men and wom- en will reflect far more is the homes they come from. Technical training is the small part of life’s battle. Disposit- ion and personality, those miracle twins are most of it and these one acquires primarily in one’s early years at home. Look at the men at the top. It is amazing that so many of them have not been technically trained for their positions as leaders. They had a dis- position and a personality that made friends and the friends helped to put them where they are. They had co- operation in the struggle. Against that technical training and a personality that makes no friends doesn’t count for much. A man cannot get very far alone. Those men at thee top came from homes as varied, materially, as the number of men themselves; but i y must have been much alike in one thing. There must have been ex- ample enough there of what is rather inadequately called “the right spirit.” The youngsters learned their first les- sons of character and demeanor there and no school lessons will ever com- pare with them in importance. CLASS HISTORY The freshman class of 1931 was or- ganized in the old high school in the latter part of October 1927. The class officers were: president Charles Van- Zandt; secretary, Raymond Caldwell; treasurer, Muriel Buhrig. Our advis- ors were Miss Conkling and Miss Clines the latter whom we have been privileged to keep with us these four years. On the first day of February the newly elected officers were president, lone Robertson; secretary, Joy Te- Winkel; treasurer Frederick Buhrig. During our first year Charles Van- Zandt founded our school paper the “Red and White” which has now been succeeded by the weekly “Tooter”. Our class provided and decorated the first Christmas tree in our new high school. We were also the first class to levy a tax of ten cents per month for each member. Our only social event was a picnic held at lone Robertson’s camp on Oneida Lake. In September as the Sophomore class our officers were: President lone Robertson; secretary, Mary Newberry; treasurer, Gladys Baldwin. Since Miss Conkling had left Miss Colton, the new Home Economics teacher took her place with Miss Clines as advisor. The first activity was a most suc- cessful corn roast held at the home of Olive Relyea. This year we were also allowed to initiate the freshmen one morning in Chapel which was in- deed a pleasure. A Halloween party was held in the high school gymnasium. This was a success. This year for the first time we step- ped into the limelight by winning the first place in the Inter-Class One-Act play contest and were awarded a sil- ver cup. The contest was sponsored by the Dramatic club and the class ad- visors coached the cast. We gave “Sauce for the Goslings”. The cast included Katharine Greiner, Joy Te- Winkel, lone Robertson, Roland Buh- rig, Howard Bellamy and Charles VanZandt. Since we took first place in com- petition with the juniors and seniors who had had more experience in dra- matic work than we, we felt justly proud of our success. As the Junior class in September 1929 the officers were: president, lone Robertson; secretary, Joy TeWinkel; treasurer, Kathleen Greiner. Our ad- visors were the same as our Sopho- more year. I'll E TOOT Our first social event was another enjoyable picnic at lone Robertson's camp where Mr. and Mrs. Robertson officiated in the kitchen and entertain- ed us royally. For the second time we took first place in the Inter-Class play contest and added another cup to our collect- ion. The play presented was Thurs- day Evening” and the cast included lone Robertson, Joy TeWinkel, Muriel Buhrig and Thomas Spadafora. We were asked to give it at the Presbyter- ian Bazaar which we did. In June we entertained the Seniors of 1930 with a picnic held at Owasco Lake and its success was unquestion- ed. We felt proud that our treasury af- forded us enough to buy the stained glass window with the numerals ’31 at the end of our junior year. As Seniors in September, Emerson Welch was elected president and Wil- iam Hamlin, secretary and treasurer. The Inter-Class play contest was held again for the third time and we won first place and another silver cup. The play presented was His Blue Serge Suit.” The cast included lone Robertson, Charles VanZandt, Thomas Spadafora, Howard Bellamy and Carl Dentler. We have won the cup each time it has been offered and we take great pfide in our three silver cups. Since there was no place to keep the cups we have bought and present- ed the school a large trophy case which will hold many more than our three cups and we hope will be filled in years to come. The class play the Cinderella Man a four-act comedy drama which wi, : presented in March 1931 was a com- plete success. The class advisors Miss Clines and Mrs. Jones coached the cast and the scenery and proper'y was made possible thru the kind co operation of Mr. Zapf, the dramatic instructor. During the same month the annual prize speaking contest was held and seniors took both first and second places. The senior ball which we held in April was a decided success. The dec- oiation committee changed the gym- nasium into a very picturesque scene. Among the notes of interest con cerning the Senior Class are the facts that: all appointed cheer leaders for the last four years were members of our class, three editors-in-chief of tin- high school weekly publication be longed to our class; members of out- class took either first or second place in the prize speaking contest eveiy jear since it was first held; ten of the twenty active members and all three officers of the Dramatic club belong to this class; a majority f ne charter members of the D-auiatie ciub founded by Miss Clines when wo wcie freshmen are members of our c'uss.

CLASS PROPHECY Listen, oh ye men and women, youths and maidens to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet who now speaketh unto you what hath been revealed unto her even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelope me as the chosen one of this great and good people the Class of 1931, to dream strange dreams and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. As I look into the land of the future I can discern moving among the dim shadows of the peoples yet to be, the familiar shapes of those fair and rad- iant beings who were once my class- mates now changed and transformed into citizens of the world outside, even as they had long hoped so to be. I can see our president, Emerson Welch as the owner of the Welch Con- fectionery Stores Inc. I see Charles VanZandt as the President of the First National Bank. I see Mabel Church a spinster, lecturing on the Redpath Chautauqua Circuit on the strong sub- ject of “Woman’s Independence of Man”. I see Charles Tornatore and Thomas Spadafora as prominent law- yers of the day. And behold, I look again and I can see moving among the society circles of that far-distant time, and among those who were most fair to look upon lone Robertson. Next I am led by the Spirit into a large cathedral. Strains of the “Wed- THE TOOT 9 ding March echo thru the auditorium and I see, walking slowly from the altar of matrimony, Katherine Greinei and Curtis Cronk— the well-known ten- nis star. And then, as I walk along the high- way that was the Seneca turnpike, a shining limousine passes. I recogniz- ed the chauffeur of this great vehicle as Blaine Hazen and realize that he has the responsible position of driving Mrs. Smith to school daily. And it came to pass that the lights from a great billboard hanging high above Broadway bear the glittering statement A second Caruso--The World’s Greatest Tenor George Haz- en.” And then, as I slowly traversed the streets of the great city of Canastota and shouts of Extra! Extra! greeted my ears. I pushed to buy a paper and in the headlines I read that there had been a great battle and that the brave general, Colton Tibbits had led the American forces to victory. Then I am borne by the Spirit to a large theatre where Carl Dentler is playing Uncle Tom in a revival of that famous play “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” And it came to pass that while I pondered these wondrous things in my heart that the door of a home swung open and I found therein a household made happy by a wife and mother, Ruth Greiner, a former basketball star. And while I watched the home lights die away I was borne on the wings of my dream to a large football stadium and there the team of C. H. S. rushed on to victory under the leadership of their coach, Herbert Norton, acclaimed by many as a second Knute Rockne. And while my mind was still dream- ing of great athletes I saw Donald Fritz playing with the Davis Cup team in the place occupied by George Lott in 1931. And a change took place in my dreams and I found myself attending the commencement exercises of a great university where Helen Guss- willer and William Hamlin who had added to that vast store of knowledge which they acquired in C. H. S. receiv- ed degrees of Doctor of Philosophy. Then I found myself within the walls of the Louvre where people thronged to see the paintings of that famous artist, Mary Newberry. And now I glimpsed the professional circles and moving to and fro therein were Joseph DeMauro and Milton Clarke, WaJl Street Brokers. And with- in the quiet of a neighboring hospital Olive Relyea and Nancy Pugliano soothe the fevered brows and other- wise live up to the names they have earned—“The Ladies of the Lamp . And lo, I find myself at a great scientific convention. I hear that fam- ous chemist Raymond Caldwell who is by this time happily married to Jen- nie D’Amico, discuss the atomic the- ory in great detail. I also hear that great physicist, Gerald Shaffer, explain the Einstein Theory in such a man- ner that Einstein himself would not recognize his own brain-child. Then I was led to the desk of the Dean of Women at Cornell Universi- ty. The woman I found at the desk was none other than Gladys Baldwin. I was then conducted to the Munici- pal Airport where I found Alice Os- trander about to take off in her now rocket plane on a flight to the moon. And then I felt a great longing to be present at an assembly in that dear old institution of learning, Can- astota High School and I dreamed that I was there again singing “Mistress Shady’’ and all the tunes of so long ago. In the place of Miss Gaudern stood Veronica Capparelli who had no trouble at all in persuading the occu- pants of the front rows to sing Love’s Old Sweet Song.” And it came to pass that while my soul was held enraptured by the har- mony which came forth from the thioats of that student body, that I was filled with the desire to tread once again the homeward path which took me across the tracks. When I reached the crossing I was stopped by the great blue bulk of John Dineen who had taken Mr. Clocks responsi- bility of seeing that all the pedestrians 10 THE TOOT were conducted safely across that dangerous zone. And once again the door of a home swung wide and I saw Ruth Clarke as the matron thereof. I wished that I might see the inside of the old theatre again and immed- iately I found myself therein. At the entrance stood Tony Sgroi in the ca- pacity of ticket seller. And behold, another change came over the Spirit of my dream and I felt a strange desire to see my old chums Grace Reed and Elizabeth Fer- geson. And the Spirit of Prophecy, responding to my unspoken wish con- ducted me to a bachelor girl apart- ment in a large foreign city where the two were seated before a log fire. And as I looked in on them Grace, now a famous pianist opened her in- strument and called forth sweet strains of music while Betty rose to her feet and danced a joyous measure, her figure swaying from side to side at the appeal of the fantastic air. I was held in rapt silence by the beauty of the scene and the Spirit lead me home and we stopped by a stretch of fertile land where 'Richard Betsinger carried on the work of his father in the cultivation of the rich soil. And then, as the light faded from my dream I was carried across the continent to a dude ranch run by Florence Ackerman who spent a great deal of her time galloping madly a- cross the plains. And in the dim light of my dream I was conducted to the House of Rep- resentatives where the speaker was emphatically orating on some import- ant subject. I knew him to be Joseph Chapman, called by nearly all who heard him a second Patrick Henry. And verily, as I beheld this scene and marvelled thereat thinking “Aye, even as many hoped it will be the veil was drawn over mine eyes shut- ting out from my vision the “Things to Be” and I turned mine eyes back to the “Things that Are”, sure that as “coming events cast their shadows before”, only goodness and mercy, truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the fair and beloved members of the Class of 1931. —Margaret Joy TeWinkel CLASS WILL vVe, the members of the class of 1931, of the high school of the village of Canastota, in the County of Madison and the State of New York, being in the last stage of high school activities but nevertheless of sound mind and body, possessing a feeling of generos- ity and acknowledging our superiority to the juniors and realizing the ur- gent need of our heirs, do, make, pub- ’ish and declare null and void any otner document which may be drawn by this stupid body.

He was always quiet, modest, sincere and at all times kind and friendly to those with whom he came in contact. His ancestry was of sterling American stock. He was a descendant of Captain William Jennings, a prominent leader in the Revolutionary War. By his death one of the oldest families in this vicinity is termin- ated. His ability, his fine moral qualities, his genius for friendship gave him a permanent place in the affection and memory of the faculty and his classmates. Gifted in art, intensely active in sports, dramatics and music it is regrettable that his call came so early. Our hearts go out in sympathy to his family. We mourn his loss; we honor his name; we cherish his legacy to us, the memory of happy hours spent with him, the friendship he gave so freely and the inspir- ation of an upright and honorable life. The evening came into the life of Kenneth Harsh and with it, the darkness but there will ever shine in our memory the unfailing light of his friendship. “Peace and death’s beauty to his heart today. He is not dead but only gone away To sleep a little as a child who goes When twilight folds the petal of the rose.” FARNHAM COAL CO McCONNELL’S F. G.

The re- quired number of games was raised, however and now the qualifications are the whole of four or the parts of eight games. This is quite a change but it makes the girls work harder to qualify and still is not beyond the reach of the average girl basketball player. The schedule for 1930-31 was as fol- lows: C. H. S. 33 C.
