It is the gateway through which we enter a new world, a world larger in every sense—in its responsibilities, its hopes, its possibili- ties, and its achievements. But let us not forget that as we enter this new world, we will not be magically changed into ideal human beings. Unless we realize this, we shall make the same mistakes in the future that we have made in the past. Wake! Wake up to the fact that it is we, and not the world we are in, that count. We are the ones who must remedy our faults; only thus will we be ready for the future. Wake! Wake up each morning, live each day to the full extent of its experi- ence! Learn to follow the stirring words of A. E. Housman’s “Reveille:” “Wake: the silver dust returning Up the breach of darkness brims, And the ship of sunrise burning . Stands upon the eastern rims. Clay lies still, but blood’s a rover; Breath’s a ware that will not keep; Up, lad, when the journey’s over There'll be time enough to sleep.” Lore Riedel r oc j cs -! Vinnie Mass: “Say, Basil, when you go o er to your girl’s house, how does her father let you know when to leave?” Basil Davis: “He just casually passes through the room with a box of breakfast food.” r o Mrs. Milmoe: “Who originated the first geometric proposition?” Student: “Noah.” Mrs. Milmoe: “How is that?” Student: “He constructed the first arc. ” We understand that a sophmore (Bruce Ellis) was arrested the other day for speeding. “But officer,” said Bruce, “I’m a high school student. ” The officer nonchalantly answered: “ Ignorance is no excuse. ” (T 0 Stranger: “I came here to make an honest living. ” Native: “Go ahead. You won’t have much competition.” Page seven Class of 1936 •4 1st Row: E. Stankivitz, F. Hollenbeck, J. Simmonds, J. Penna, D. Yorton, H. Wright, J. Robertson. 2nd Rcw: A. Argen- tine, T. Carman, M.

Bogardus, Clerk NOT every High School is favored with a School Board whose members are as outstanding as is the Board of Canastota High School. Each from a different vocation, the better qualifies the members to judge of the needs of the school. It is of the highest importance that there be unselfish cooperation between the Board of Education of any institution of learning and its student body. The Senior Class of 1936, not only feels that it has had the interest and cooperation of the Board of Education, but the hearty support of the faculty. The spirit of unity and harmony has so characterized the efforts and labors of all as that the year 1936 will witness the largest graduat- ing class in the history of the school. We are not unmindful of the part our school superintendent, Glenn F. Bogard- us, has taken in directing the policies and aims of the school to the end that it has attained such a high standard of efficiency. J. Robertson HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1936 ON a rainy September morning in the year 1932, seventy-five freshmen strolled noisily in C.H.S. Assembly was held, and we of the freshmen class were told to make less noise and sent to our home room. We held a meeting and chose our class officers as follows: President............................Grace Hallagan Vice-President.......................Nancy Bogardus Secretary..................Marian Cardner Treasurer...................Francis Drury Our first event was a picnic at Chitten- ango Falls, where the frankfurts and marshmallows simply decided to walk off by themselves. Many of the ambitious freshmen tested their energy by seeing who could walk around the falls the most number of times. At Christmas we furnished the tree and also held a party. At the party an auction was held, with peanuts as money. The music was simply divine as someone 10 C(Dpie DOOt P OCs� i)6 OC,,� s9 6(T O r OCfsdC sSC tried to play the piano and others tried to sing. As soph mores we held a picnic at Green Lake. The swings were the center of attraction. On the way coming home we encountered two of our missing girls and who could they be, none other than Phil Lisi and Rosaline Masucci walking home because of the failure of their buggy. In the winter we had a sleigh ride and a party later at Kerneith Washington's. Harry Wright, one of our quiet little boys, was very thoughtful and helped Marion Cardner carry home her dishes. In February we held a party at school where various games were enjoyed by all. Officers for our Sophmore year were: President..................Marian Cardner Vice-President.......................Milton Carmen Secretary..................Robert Caldwell Treasurer......� .............Philamena Lisi During our junior year we elected officers at our first meeting. Those chosen were: President...........Raymond Bartholomay Vice-President..........Alexander Penna Secretary...............Florence Furfaro Treasurer...............Nancy Bogardus Although we had an energetic president, the year was almost uneventful. The Junior picnic held at Chittenango Falls was the only event of the year. It took the form of a frankfurter roast. During the year we held candy sales, and paid junior dues; thus we were enabled to have our class window put in. The annual Junior Prom was held on the night of field day. Molly Vecchio, one of our Junior girls, was chosen as May Queen. A large crowd attended. The Junior-Senior picnic was held on June 24, i935, at Owasco Lake. As Seniors we elected officers as follows: Edward Stankivitz............. President Philamena Lisi............Vice-President Marian Cardner.................Secretary Samuel Emmi....................Treasurer This year every member of the senior class voluntarily or otherwise, had to participate in at least one assembly pro- gram during the year. We held our annual Ball, April 15, at the Canastota High School. A large crowd attended. During the year we paid senior dues (?) and sold candy thus we were able to bal- ance our accounts. We’ll be guests of the junior class for the Junior-Senior picnic during Com- mencement Week. • M. Buda JUNIOR WE freshmen entered our Canastota High School career with Robert Shumard as our President and Walter Calhoun as our Treasurer. In the fall we held a picnic at Nichols’ camp, and our second picnic of the year was held at Green Lake. The Sophmore Class of 1935 held its first event, a picnic, at Chittenango Falls on a cold, rainy day. The second event was a Halloween Party at the High School. We had doughnuts with sweet cider as refresh- ments. Games were enjoyed by those who attended. For its last outing, we held a picnic at Green Lake. About thirty attended the picnic. The Junior Class of 1936 held its first meeting of the year for the election of officers. Those chosen were: Robert Shumard...................President Helen Nichols...............Vice-President Betty Weigand....................Secretary William Rhodes...................Treasurer The Junior picnic was held at Chitten- ango Falls, and the annual Junior Prom was held May 22nd with the music of Ivan Teeter’s Orchestra. A large crowd attended and seemed to enjoy themselves. M.

Y. June 15, 1945 Dear Miss Mackey: I’ve been visiting in Canastota for the past week and my first day here was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in weeks. When I entered the railroad station after getting off the train, I was more than shocked to find John Simmonds. whose chief hobby used to be singing, as the train caller. Oh, you should see the station. It’s a beautiful place. After leaving the station, I went to the Weaver, one of the most popular hotels in New' York, and rented a room. I turned away from the desk and looked, then I looked again. Sure enough! The bellhop was Paul Tuttle. How nice he looked in his uniform. The elevator boy (yes. they have an elevator) was Francis Corpin. Naturally. I stopped to talk with them. They told me that Helen McHugo and Dorothy Green were the chefs at the Weaver. Mitt Carmen, now- married to Alice, has his own orchestra. Among the members are Charlie Foster, Sam Emmi and Esther Tuller. They play for dinner and supper dancing at the Weaver every night, Marion Cardner is their vocalist. Danny Yorton and George Weisbrod are traveling salesmen at present staying at the Weaver. I went into the dining room and sat down to lunch. I looked up from the menu and there was Joe Penna, head waiter. He is now- married to Molly Vecchio who is more beautiful than ever. After lunch I walked down Peterboro Street. You’d never know- it, Miss Mackey, it’s nicer than Salina Street in Syracuse. My first stop w-as the A. P. of which Reilly Meade is district manager. Rose Loguidice is one of the clerks. She’s called the “singing clerk”. In the meat department I saw Charlie Relyea and Eddie Homan, butchers. They always did enjoy cutting up. My next stop was the Drury Barber Shop. Francis Drury and John Mascari are the barbers and Maggie Buda has a beauty parlor on one side. I then went dow-n to the high school, the place of many happy memories. Florence Furfaro is new principal. Patsy Pugliano is teaching Italian; Josephine Malfitano, Chemistry; Lester Mick, A- merican History. They have an airport and an aviation school back of the high school. Margaret James is chief flying instructor. On the way back to the Weaver, I met Don Clarke, handsomer than ever. He is now manager of the “Diana” a well known night club. His hostesses are Marlyn Jackson and June Cowan. Phil Lisi, my former sidekick, is chief candy and cigarette girl. She still hates men. The interior of the “Diana” was beautiful and I later found out that Betty Schied was the decorator. Freddy Schaffer’s orchestra furnished the music and their vocalist is Thelma Carmen. While talking with Phil, I learned what the other members of the class of ’36 w ere doing. Gwen Brophy is in Hawaii teaching the Hawaiian girls how to “swing it.” Harry Wright is in Germany as the U. S. marathon entry in the marathon in the Olympics. Grace Ostrander is the “strong lady” of the Barnum Bailey Circus. Eddie Stankivitz is a member of the All-American football team. Ponzie and Angeline Argentine are nurses in the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital in the Adirondacks. Pete Eppolito is chief surgeon. Bob Caldwell is the Madison County Judge. Johnny Robertson is the district attor- ney and Dick Fine is in the Wampsville 16 c Pie CSoot Jail awaiting trial for the murder of Dinah.” Helen Bailey is now Secretary of State. Lore Riedel is Governor of New York State. Gertrude Pluff is now married and has 2 children. Janet Morse and Katherine Wimmer are co-authors of a book entitled The Origin of Nuts. ” Gloria Gatto has a penthouse in Wamps- ville right next door to the Court House. Joe Verno is editor of the Canastota Bee now a well known newspaper. His fashion editor is Martha Worden and his secretary is Ruth Worden. Don and Kerneith are married and are running a boarding house. Their star boarders are Eddie Homan and Joe Verno. I learned that Nancy Bogardus, now a popular young society matron, living in Oneida, still-pursues her dramatic career. She has a lovely home and her maids are Ruth Gleason and Marjorie Brown. She is holding a tea sometime this week in honor of Raymond Davis, one of radio’s most popular crooners. At last I left the Diana and went back to the Weaver. While getting ready for bed, I turned the radio on and I heard Sally Owens telling a bedtime story. What a fitting climax to my day in Canas- tota. Well, Miss Mackey, I hope that sometime soon I may see you and we will talk over the successes of the class of ’36. Very sincerely yours, Rosaline Masucci (Class Prophet) CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page ten) SOPHS AS freshman, we held a frankfurt roast at Campbell's summer home with an attendance of about thirty freshmen.

DRAMATIC CLUB THE Dramatic Club started the school year with a sadly depleted member- ship, three copies of “The National Thespian”, a little money in the bank, and a new coach, Miss Helen Jacobs. At our first meeting the officers for the year were elected, Nancy Bogardus, President; John Leneker, Vice-President; Rita Clarke, Secretary and Treasurer. There was some talk about joining the National Thespians, but the only members of the Club eligible were Seniors who didn’t wish to join, so the plan was abandoned until another year. Several possible plays were considered for the annual three act play presentation of the Club. Finally, the three act mys- tery Tiger House” was chosen because nothing similar had ever been done here and it offered many and varied oppor- tunities for the stage crew and electricians, as well as for the principals. There was an unprecedented turn-out for the casting which was quickly accomplished. Re- hearsals went very smoothly with only occasional upsets. The play was an immediate and huge success, rivaled only by the play of last year, “Dulcy”. Throughout the year the students cooperated with the Dramatic Club in presenting a series of radio plays over station WSYR. We participated in no one act play contest this year, but a two act play was presented in assembly and many other skits and readings were given by the members. The membership of the club has swelled gratifyingly and everyone seems to be taking more of an interest in a thing that formerly was available to only a few. Miss Jacobs has given lavishly of her time and energy and has, I believe, done more than anyone else to contribute to the success of the past year. Nancy Bogardus 28 c(oPie c2 oot First Row: J.

CLUB AT our first meeting of the school year at Theresa Balducci’s, we opened the K. E. season with a flourish. Helen Nichols was elected corresponding secretary and Nancy Bogardus the speak- ing delegate to the annual convention at Elmira. The names of prospective new members of the K. E. were brought up and discussed. At the next meeting at Nancy Bo- gardus’, new members were voted on and fourteen were accepted. Solemn initia- tion took place at Mary Stafford’s. A food sale and convention occupied most of our conversation for the next few weeks. Four members attended the con- vention and had a grand time. There was some controversy about having a Christmas dance but the ‘ayes’ won, so we all helped. The dance was held January 2nd at the Canastota Dancing Academy. For the first time in our history, it was a financial as well as a social success. At one of the January meetings the new officers were elected as follows: Marion Cardner, President; Claudia Wheeler, Vice-President; Florence Furfaro, Re- cording Secretary; Dona Waldo, Treasur- er; Betty Delano, Chaplain. No new members were admitted in February because of an already full mem- bership. The next meetings were com- paratively unimportant, until we began to plan for the Dinner Dance. It was held at the Hotel Oneida, May 15th. Claudia Wheeler was toastmistress; Theresa Bal- ducci spoke for the old girls and Inez Fox for the new; Mrs. Alene Warner was our guest speaker. To finish our year we held a picnic, June 6th, at June Cowan’s. Everyone went in swimming and ate a huge amount of sandwiches and salad. On the whole, it was a remarkable successful year and we all feel sure that next year will be as nice. C(Dfie c?ooot 29 1st Row: G. Fabrizi, E. Hurd, R. Hutchens, W. Culbertson, G. Sgroi, P.

Mostly raw recruits, and considering the material at hand Mr. Schmidt certainly rounded out a very fine team. We have to take our hats off to “ Pinky. ” The biggest game of the season took place with our ancient rivals Oneida. The game was played in Canastota and a large crowd attended. For the first half the ball see-sawed back and forth across the field with neither team having the ad- vantage. Then with only minutes to play Canastota put on a terrific drive from their own forty yard line and crossed the goal. They converted the extra point just as the whistle blew for the half and we were leading 7-0. Neither team was able to score the last half and the game ended in a hard fought victory for C.H.S. This victory over Oneida was a feat which football players of C.H.S. have been trying to do for twenty years. And this year was the big moment, and the boys certainly are pleased. The prospects for the team next year are rather bright and I think “Pinky” will turn out a fine team. The block letter men for the year are: Masucci, Captain; Clarke, Hurd, G. Sgroi, Finnochaino, Balducci, Culbertson, W. Fine, Shumard, Eppilito, Fox, R. Fine, Hutchins, E. Stankivitz, J. Cerio. J. Simmonds, G. Fabrizi, M. Carman, Manager. The scores for the games are as follows: Canastota 7 Oneida 0 Canastota 0 Cazenovia Sem. 12 Canastota 12 Cazenovia Cen. 6 Canastota 15 Herkimer 6 Canastota 12 Onondaga Valley 25 Canastota 0 Fulton 12 Canastota 0 Ithaca 26 R.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL OF the eighteen games played on the court C. H. S. emerged victorius in seven and one game ended in a tie. Al- though this record is not what we wished it to be, there were some very good ball games played on the court. Although we didn’t seem to be able to hit our stride constantly, there were times when the team looked like a million dollars. Coach Schmidt worked hard with the boys, and in turn the boys gave all they had on the basketball floor: The most exciting game of the season was with Fulton. We played four over time periods of three minutes each, and and then the caoches called the game. The game ended in a 27-27 tie. The prospects for next year’s team looks very good, and I think they will have a fine team. In closing I hope that success is enjoyed by both players and coach for 1936-37. Block letter men for 1935-36 are: Davis, captain: Shumard, E. Stankivitz, Finna- chinao, Masucci, Hollenbeck, P. Tuttle, Lucciardello, Rhodes, Stafford, Manager.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL AGAIN and again the Canastota girls put forth a good team. The girls started their first game with a defeat on our home court. But this defeat didn't discourage them, it put more spirit in them. The return game played, “Libby” Quatt, the smallest girl with the longest name, scored 32 points. The score being Canastota 53, Verona 32. Of the 15 games played the girls lost five games. The girls are proud to say that they defeated New Hartford and Madison who are considered the best teams in their league. The following girls receive letters for basketball: Chubbuck, Brophy, Quatt- rocciochi, Lisi, Owens. Near, and Del’- Aquila. The schedule being as follows: C. H. S. 25 Verona 26 C. H.

They played three games tieing one They lost to Sherburn 2 to 0 and to New Hartford 3 to 2 and tied New Hartford here 2 to 2. As usual the Gym Demonstration was a huge success under the direction of Miss Margaret Heller. It included the following events: marching, dancing, pyramids, bar work, by the boys, tumbling by boys and girls. To Miss Heller and Mr. Schmidt, we would like to extend our appreciation for all they have done to make this athletic year a year we will all remember. P. List 32 cSfie c(Doot 1st Row: C.

BASEBALL UNDER guidance and coaching of William Schmidt who is athletic coach of all sports of C. H. S., the baseball team won seven games, lost seven, and tied one. Thus the boys broke even, which gives them a fairly good season. The feature of the season was the two victories the team took from Oneida. A victory over these ancient rivals makes a season perfect. The team had good material this year, and a number of the boys are back next year. Therefore, with these players back along with new entrants, Canastota looks forward for a great year on the diamond. And we all hope that Coach Schmidt and the boys have a great season. Block letter men for the past season are: Tuttle, captain; Bartell, Bartholomay, E. Stankivitz, Licciardello, C.

BOXING THE boxing team under the coaching of “ Pinky ” Schmidt, and the training of “Andy” Vernon, had a season that old C. H. S. can be proud of. The boys fought their way to second place in the interscholastic tournaments at Oswego, and two of the boys, W. Fine and A. Mariano, returned home inter- scholastic champions. Also J. Monte- bano, B. Sgroi and F. Penna took second place honors and J. Penna captured third place laurels. This great showing by the boxing team this year proves that the boxing teams are getting better each year, and in the future opponents are going to be plenty uusy trying to stop the boxers of C. H. S. The boys this year have enjoyed a wonderful season. And it’s hoped that the future teams may also enjoy honors and success. The block letter men for the year are: B. Sgroi, Captain: F.

TRACK THE track team of Canastota High School under the direction of Coach William (Pinky) Schmidt and Bernard (Bun) Sykes, erstwhile marathon runner, started its season with a third place at Hamilton. The team competed against Cato and Earlville. Due to the lack of experienced men the team is greatly handicapped. The veterans from 1935 are: V. Masucci, W. Fine, R. Fine, R. Bartholmay, V. Sea- brook and H. Wright. Other members are: W. Cox, W. Rhodes, P. Tuttle, C. Slover, W. Tanner, E. Homan, J. Cerio, V. Setticase, H. Alcott. The letter men so far this season are: W. Rhodes, V.

The band attended their first music festival at Oneida, May 24, 1934. It did not make too good an impression as all the members were first year players. In 1935, the band attended the music festival at Madison, where they played with about 250 other musicians of Madison County as a unit in one large band. Pro- fessor Myers and Arthur Gorauson from Jamestown conducted the band. The band also played for the annual field day on May 23. In September, 1936, due to the fact that the band was receiving numerous invitations to play at various affairs, which Professor Myers could not attend. Richard Fine was chosen as conductor of the band, giving Canastota the distinction of having the only student band con- ductor in Madison County. Under the direction of Richard Fine, the band per- formed on the stage of the Avon Theatre and at affairs at Union Corners and Sherril. The band also played at all athletic contests during the school year. May 23. 1936, the band went to Caze- novia where it attended the annual music festival. In the evening, the concert started. The massed band composed of about 350 people played three selections and were conducted by Mr. Abbot of Ithaca. The band now consists of about 30 members and have red and white uniforms which were obtained only by the diligent aid of the American Legion. R. Fine 36 cCs)Pie ISoot 1st Row: H. Bogardus, P.

ORCHESTRA WITH the closing of the school year, theCanastota High School Orches- tra completes its third successful year. It was organized in the fall of 1933 by Ethel Connell Phoenix and has been under her leadership since that time. Through her patience and kindly understanding, we have accomplished much. We sin- cerely hope that she has enjoyed working with us as much as we have enjoyed working with her. During the three years the orchestra has done much toward putting our school on a musical standard. It has played at most activities held in the auditorium and has given several concerts worth recogni- tion. In conjunction with musicians from Baldwinsville and Syracuse we gave three concerts. One concert wras given at Onondaga Hill and the other two were given at Edward’s store, one of which was broadcast over WSYR. Our Spring Concert, which was given in the school auditorium, was a marked success. We received more encouragement from the citizens of our town as a result of this concert than from any other that we had given. The undergraduates are looking for- ward to an interesting orchestral year. We, who are seniors, will be interested in all its activities in as much as we were charter members. We cannot help but hold dear to our hearts the memories of good times and true friendships. The members of our orchestra consist of: Violins — Miss Holmes, John Musac- chio, Louis Mick, Helen Nichols, Evelyn Hilts, Frances Mattoon, Mildred Lehner, Alwyn Lehner, Harwood Bogardus; French Horn — Miss Heller; Trumpets — Alice Harsh, Rodney Jaquay, Sam Emmi, John Lumbrazo, Margaret Wilson; Clarinets — Madeline McCullough, William Cox, Spencer Morecroft, Marian Lehner, Bus- ter Hall; Baritone — Tom Snyder; Trombone — John Molinari; Drums — George Uhlig, Teddy Schirmer, William Kimball; Cymbals — Clifford Osgood; Piano — Esther Tuller. cCofie %ooot 37 ' Jin JMcmoviam We, the class of 1936, desire to pay tribute to the memory of our departed friend, JULIA E. DAILEY Our hearts go out in sympathy to her devoted family, suffering from grief which only faith in Divine Providence can assuage. She was noted for her cheerful disposition and extreme kindness and her willingness to work for them was always in evidence. These qualities endeared her to all with whom she came in con- tact and made her life most useful and valuable. Peace and death’s beauty to her heart today, She is not dead, but only gone away To sleep a little, as a child who goes, When twilight folds the petals of the rose.
