To some there is a premature dawn and their schooling must be cut short at the c'ose of their secondary education To these, a high school education is the standard by which positions are judged and the position, although pos- sibly humble, must be worth-while and honest to live up to this standard. A college education, however, is avail- able to some who are more fortunate. To this class of graduates the neces- sary secondary education is a basis for future education in higher schools of learning. Many students, however, do not complete even a preliminary training, and leave school at an early age to face unprepared the difficult trials of life. It is this class of youth that is gaining a police record and is becom- ing a menace to society. Commissioner Thayer of the State Department of Correction has shown that few con- victs have a high school education and that the average length of school- ing among prisoners is between 4 and 5 years. By these statistics we can see that an investment in a high school education is a good insurance against crime. Mrs. W. T. Bost, Commissioner of Public Welfare of North Carolina. w.ites, “the public school is the best agency yet devised for developing cit- izenship.’’ With these things in mind we can honestly and conscientiously advise students to continue their studies in order that they may more easily pre- pare a proper place for themselves in this already over crowded world. Like- wise we recommend college to our fellow graduates who have the op- portunity for higher education. Years well spent away at school with people of discriminating minds and a spec- ialized outlook on life furnish insur- ance against relief rolls and prison records. “The devil easily finds something for idle hands, and we, the citizens of tomorrow, should feel that it is our duty to prepare ourselves to the best of our ability before accepting Ihe responsibilities of a troubled world. With this parting advice we leave our fellow students who have not yet reached the top rung of the high school ladder, and we sincerely hope that, year after year, we may see an ever increasing graduating class, each member of every class a graduate of the school of good citizenship as well as of the school of general knowledge —FREDRIC C.

Hoffman ooo Norman L. Stafford Dr. David 'M. Hoyt lilen F. Bogardus, Clerk WE, of the graduating class, wish to express our appreciation to the Board of Education for their abL: management of the affairs of the high school in such a manner as to pro- cure for us the best possible educa- tional opportunities. Representing as '.hey do various industries and profes- sions, they have been in positions to give the most practical advice in pre- paring us for the outside world, what- ever our choice of endeavor in life’s work may be. Epecially do they deserve our hum- ble praise for the unusual degree of the atmosphere of friendliness and cooperation which pervades the whole school system. This atmosphere is strikingly clear to one who, like me, had spent several years in other schools before coming here. Particularly may we thank our su- perintendent, Mr. Bogardus, for all the help he has given us, both con- sciously and unconsciously. - -GEORGE MORECROFT ooooooooo Ethyl: “He told me I was the first girl he ever loved.” Margie: “When was that?” Ethyl: “Saturday night.” Margie: “Then he told me a lie on Sunday night.” Poetical Girl: “Ah, what is the heignt of happiness?” Practical Girl: “In my case he’s a- bout five feet ten inches.” Stranger (to farmer): “Why do yon use that steam roller on your fields?” Farmer: “I’m raising mashed pota- toes.” Mother: Is my boy really trying? Miss Clines: “Very.” Lillian: “Oh, oh! Do I feel terrible!” Clara: “You can’t be out all night and not be all in the next day!” 14 The Toot HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1937 THE senior class entered Canas- tota High School in 1933 with Robert Shumard as president, Walter Calhoun as treasurer and Betty Wei- gand as secretary. There were about one hundred in the class and we had the faculty worried as how they were ever going to keep such a group quiet. In the fall we held a picnic at Nichols’ camp. It was an ideal day, it rained as hard as possible and we were a little uneasy because we thought we were being followed by a group of sophomores. Due to the rain, we had to hold the picnic inside the camp and the kitchen and porch swing were the high-lights of the oc- casion. , Our second picnic of the year was held at Green Lake. When it was lime to return home, Claudia. Wheel- er and Donna Waldo were not to be found, so the bus left without them. Anyone being interested in how these poor little girls got home may ask Maynard KeHer. We started the sophomore year off by holding our first event, a picnic, at Chittcnango Falls on a cold rainy day. The rain seems to be the class mascot. The second event was a Halloween Party at the high school. We haa doughnuts with sweet cider as re- freshments. Games were enjoyed by those attending in costume and other- wise. For our last outing, we held a picnic at Green Lake. About thirty attended and strange as it may seem, it was a lovely day and swimming was enjoy- ed by many. The class held its first junior meet- ing and elected the following officers: Robert Shumard...............President Helen Nichols...........Vice-President Betty W’eigand...............Secretary William Rhodes...............Treasurer The junior picnic was held at Chit- tenango Falls and the annual Jun- ior Prom was held May 22nd with the music of Ivan Teeter’s Orchestra. A large crowd attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. During Commencement Week we had the pleasure of taking the seniors on the annual junior-senior picnic at Enna Jettick Park. The roller coaster, merry-go-round, airplanes and old mill were filled to capacity witn screaming juniors and seniors. In the evening we had the pleasure of danc- ing to the music of Sleepy Hall anil His Orchestra. As seniors we elected officers as fo! lows: Ellsworth Fox................President Helen Nichols...........Vice-President Betty Weigand................Secretary Josephine Setticase..........Treasurer The seniors participated in many plays and chapel programs during the year. We held our annual ball, April 16th, at the Canastota High School Gym. Claudia Wheeler was in charge of necorations and really did a beautiful piece of work by trimming the gym as the S. S. Senior Class. Large life preservers were hung on the walls and the drop behind the orchestra re- presented the ocean and waves, which really made a very pretty picture. The music was under the direction of Bobby Carroll. The last social function, which we will attend as students of C. H. S., will be at the annual junior-senior picnic. We will be the guests of our successors and we wish the class of 1938 all the luck in the world. —BETTY WEIGAND ooooooooo Lost: A report card.

The Toot 15 JUNIOR CLASS ALTHOUGH not extremely ambit- ious, (as perhaps some of the teachers might tell you), we juniors have managed to pull through three years with many of our members still intact. The history of our younger years has been fairly simple; our earnest efforts at study (?), have been punc- tuated semi-annually by a picnic at Green Lake and a Halloween party in the gym, according to the season, (with a good time enjoyed by all.) In the advancement of our junior year we have begun to make our mark on society. In the interest of finance, and our class window, candy sales have been sponsored through- out the year in which even the mas- culine members of the class partici- pated. Four of our members succeed- ed in “bringing home the bacon” at prize speaking time, and quite a fair number demonstrated their dramatic abilities in the annual play, “Second Childhood”. The biggest event of the year, however, was the prom when all the juniors became sophisticated for a night and ruled the gym floor. The final event of the season was the annual junior-senior picnic at which the juniors played host, in return for, (we hope), their coveted position as lords of the school. And so....“Auf Wiedersehen” until our senior year: —JEAN DAVIS ooo SOPHOMORE CLASS We, the Class of ’39 entered high school in September ’35 and immedi- ately began to think we owned th place (as Freshmen have a bad habit of doing). At our first meeting we elected our class officers and planned a picnic which turned out to be a party in the gym. Another party, planned for June, never materialized. Our officers for our Freshman year were: President ..........Charles Ponticello Vice-President ............. Rose Raiti Secretary .......... Marjorie Nichols Treasurer ....... Mary Jane Albanes As Sophomores we quieted down somewhat and didn’t plan anything until the class was well organized. Our first event was a party held in December which was well ordered and planned. This party went off very smoothly. Having made such a suc- cess of the party, we decided to real- ly try something bigger and so staged a picnic at Suburban Park in May at which everyone enjoyed himself to the utmost even .hough it was rain- ing and the roller coaster wasn’t work mg. Our officers for our Sophomore year were: President ..................... John Molinari Vice-President—Mary Frances Stahler Secretary ....................Warren Johnson Treasurer ..... Mary Jane Aibanese —M. F. ri. ooo FRESHMAN CLASS IV the year 1936 a group of am- bitious freshmen entered Canas- The history of the freshman class tota High school.

The officers elected are as follows: President................

We all had a grand time there but the ride home was the feat- ured attratcion of the day. Do you wonder why? We believe Carrie Di- Veronica could tell you. We also held a Halloween party in the gymnasium where games and re- freshments were enjoyed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the cider except Malcolm Sterling. We wish Margaret Ash would tell us why. —AUDREY NEAR 16 The Toot CLASS PROPHECY Ii X LGERNON, said the history teacher, “will you tell the class the story or' the great migration?'’ Algernon, the brighest student of tne class, preened himself like a bluejay and with a self-satisfied smirk towaid the less brilliant pupils, began ms tale. “It was hundreds of years ago, in, 1937, that the major event occurred.” Here he smiled complacently, aware of his well-worded introduction. Then he continued: “A great wma was sweeping over the western plains of what was then known as America. Peopie in the East were not worried though, for the wind was gradually curving southward in direction. “One afternoon, the Seniors were holding a 3:30 meeting at which, tor the first time in years, every Senior was present! ! “In the morning of that day, the wind had suddenly changed its course and headed directly toward Canastota. It arrived at four P. M. “Like a flash it picked up the High School, whirled it around several times and carried it off, frightening the Seniors into a coma. “When they emerged from thc r temporary lethargy, they found them • selves in the center of the Luxem- bourg Gardens in France. “There was not a little difficulty with the gendarmes over leaving the building by one of the fountains, but Gregory Sgroi, an eminent French student of the class, used his persua- sive tongue and an exhibition of his boxing prowess to convince them of the correctness of the procedure. “The students wandered through Paris for a day or two and liked it so well that they decided to remain there always. The native Parisians were not too thrilled at first, but they finally came to realize the true worth of the ‘Senior Class, ’37.’ “Fredric Burton and Keith Wash- ington decided that France’s greatest need was two chemical engineers. They proceeded to remedy this at once and soon became outstanding in that field. “Claudia and Bud began a night oiuo, cn.ianced by Clauuia’s murals and paintings and Bud’s presence. An orc-iestra was formed which had great popularity with the club patrons. Bob S.iumard was the featured crooner (and coUid he swing a mean blues song!), Johnny Lumbrazo and Emer- son Brower furnished the ‘hi-de-ho’ effects wich a trumpet and flute, an 1 when romantic strains were the order of the moment, Pember and Everett Bennick came to the ‘mike’. Bernice Cripe played the piano. Eddie John- son found solace in entertaining with original versions in tap dancing. He became the toast of Paris and every night the club was filled with his ad- miring fans. Jimmy Sgroi was the suave polished host and Esther Hor- ton, the beauteous cigarette girl. “Feeling that there was a need for a more modern beauty salon, Margie Grabow (pining away for Pete) ar.d Frances Mattoon started one. They catered to the society circles of Paris. “After several years, Eddie Grems grew bored and set out on a South Sea cruise. Apparently he found ro- mance under some tropical moon and swaying palm tree, for he never re- turned. “Lillian Ackerman began to enji.y life in earnest. She became superin- tending telephone operator at a large hotel and listened in to all the private conversations. It was she who brought Rose Arlotta and Archie together! Helen Nichols became an eminent biologist, specializing in the fields of colds, pneumonia and sore throats. Her laboratory janitor was Vic Sea- brooke. “Pete Marianna, Joe Penna and Guerino Fabrizi went for a ride in the country one day and stopped at a farm house to ask directions. There they discovered three buxom French girls. They married them and lived happily ever after on ‘Papa’s farm.’ “Foxy and Donna drifted apart... she to become a lawyer and he to be- come manager of a small but thriv- ing fruit store with a sideline of nuts. The Toot 17 “A number of the girls of the class opened a business agancy from which they supplied stenographers, secretar- ies and business managers to the con- cerns of Paris. Josephine Setticase and Gene Bushnell headed the organiza- tion and their associates were Arlene Near, Beatrice Bero, Lepha Johnston and Jennie Valerio. “A ‘petite dress shoppe,’ was estab- lished and was patronized by the so- ciety circles of Paris. Betty Weigand was the outstanding model and the clothes were designed by Bill Rhodes, Known as ‘Dusty.’ “Rita Clarke led a double life. By day she was a teacher in an exclusive senool and by night she acted on the stages of the best Parisien theatres ana was declared by the critics to be a second Bernhardt. “Angie and Raymond, (‘Bum’ to you) were married and had their own French celery and onion gardens. They had pronounced the fateful words in the Parisien version of ‘The Little Church Around the Corner, George Morecroft had officiated. A select school for young ladies was begun with John Leneker as the principal. The physical training de- partment was under the direction of Mildred Lehner. Mary Lou Cimino taught languages. Alvin Lehner ana Charles May took over the industrial department; Alvin supervising the manual training and Charles the au- to-mechanical department. Clara Kim- ball headed the music department. She became a very versatile composer of both popular and classical music “Jean Glanister founded an impor- tant school of architecture and inter- ior decorating. “Richard Hinkle invented a mech- anism which could be inserted in a robot and cause it to work like man. (not like Dick.) “Jimmy Near and Charlie Stanki- vitz set up a studio in which they helped the French master the art of baseball. “Mary Stafford began to gather about her a nucleus ot celebrities and within several years, kings and queens were among the guests at her cocKtail and dinner parties. “Luther Wood held dancing classes twice a week for the hopeful debut- antes of Paris. He specialized in tango and rhumba. “Alberta Cunningham and Miss Mary Harris became doctors and took over the management of a psycopath- ic hospital and within a few years it was found difficult to identify the two doctors from the inmates. “Robert Gleason, Robert Harring- ton, Albert Nichols, Gerge Weisbrod and Albert Marehelti instituted a co- operative dairy farm which grew so rapidly in size that after five years, it supplied all Paris with dairy pro- ducts “John Mussachio’s ‘Men’s Shoppe’ became to Paris what Bond Street Tailors were to London. The most fashionably dressed men were n.o clients. “Harwood Bogardus originated a de- partment from which he furnished eligible bachelors for debutantes of Paris, (at a reasonable commission of course.) “That is the history of the people in tre great migration of 1937. Many of us are descended from them and we should be proud of their initiative and resourcefulness when they found themselves in a strange land.'' ended Algernon triumphantly. “Very good, Algernon. Now if all my pupils were as., bright.....” the. teacher signed. And then, philosophi- cally, she continued her class. —MARY HARRIS ooooooooo Father: “Now if you are good today I will give you this nice new shiney penny.” Johnny Fox: “Aw, Dad, can’t you make it a dirty, battered up old quar- ter’” Rose: “Where is the cashier?” Beatrice: “Gone to the races.” Rose: “Gone to the races in business hours?” Beatrice: “Yes madam, it is his last chance of making the books balance.” 18 The Toot CLASS WILL Wa, the class of 1937 of the Canas- tota High School, Town of Lenox, County of Madison, State of New York, being of sound mind and bociv, and in full possession of all our fac- ulties (C.

SOCIETY AT our first meeting of the year we elected Jean Davis as record- ing secretary, Ellen DeCapua as cor- responding secretary and proposed names as new members, at the next meeting we discussed and voted on these names and accepted thirteen. Solemn initiation took place Oct. 6. As means of earning money we sponsored a benefit movie on October 13 and a satisfactory profit was realized from our efforts. During Thanksgiving week, eight of our chapter attended the annual K. E. Convention at Syra- cuse. Aurel Sattler represented the Rho Chapter acting as toastmistress. For Christmas we donated a basket to a needy family. Our annual K. E. Ball was held December 29, and was not financially successful but it was socially. On January 7 we elected our new officers as follows: President..................Aurel Sattler Vice President ................Inez Fox Secretary ...................Patricia Wallace Treasurer .......Mary Jane Albanese Cnapiain ....................Virginia Cardner Names for new members were pro- posed at the next meeting and the discussion and voting resulted in the acceptance of four. Solemn initiation was held at Mary Stafford’s on Marcii 4. We donated $5.00 to the Red Cross for flood relief. We held our dinner-dance at Hotel Oneida on May 21 at which Helen Nichols presided as toastmistress. Mary Harris spoke in behalf of the old members and Ruth Durfee for the new. Mrs. Leo Phillips was guest speaker. To close the vear we held a picnic at Betty Weigand’s on June 19 and everyone bad a grand time. We have had a very eventful year and look forward to one as enjoyable beginning in September. —INEZ FOX rhe Toot 33 1st row: R. Shumard, E. Bartell, E. Fox, W. Rhodes. 2nd row: V. Seabrooke, L.

At the present time it is a club of nine mem- bers, but as a result of graduation in June 1937, there is expected to be a great reduction in membership. It is a social society formed to provide good times for its members. . Ellsworth Fox had the honor of having the first meeting. The officers for three months were elected. They were: Robert Shumard as President, Ernest Bartell as Vice President; William Rhodes as Secretary and Ells- worth Fox as Treasurer. Other mem- bers of the club are: Pember New- berry, Bruce Ellis, Victor Seabrooke, Edward Grems and Luther Wood. The meetings are held on Sunday nights at the home of the members. The business of the club is discussed and light refreshments are served. The Omega Phi has been a very prosperous club in finances, consider- ing its small membership. A large sum has accumulated in the treasury out of which expenses have been met, and a small sum was contributed to the Red Cross to aid the people left homeless and starving by the flood. The club is expected to be enlarged in the coming year to fifteen members and yours truly hopes that it will continue to be a prosperous club both in finance and in friendliness. —LUTHER WOOD ooooooooo Office Boy: “You told me to file these letters, sir?” Boss: “Yes.” Office Boy:: “Well, I was just think- ing that it would be easier to trim them with shears.” Claudia: “Oh, Dad the girl next door has a hat exactly like mine .

NATIONAL THESPIAN TROUPE AMONG the many important ac- tivities of the dramatic club this year was the reorganization into a “National Thespian Troupe.” Our officers were as follows: President ..................Rita Clark Vice President .....Spencer Morecroft Secretary ...........Virginia Cardner Treasurer ..........Josephine Setticase Reporter ............Fredric C. Burton We had a hot dog roast on October 8th at Oneida Lake. Following this we had several social meetings dur- ing the year and at business meetings we were instructed in stage make-up. The cast of our major production, “Second Childhood”, included Ruth Durfee, Raymond Taylor, Virginia Cardner, Herbert Leneker, Warren Johnson, Rita Clarke, Concetta Tag- lienfj, Betty DeLano, Mary Frances Stahier, and Vincent Setticase. Several Thespians directed one-act plays for assembly programs. “The Perfect Tribute,” was directed by Fredric Burton, “Sunset by Slansky , by Josephire Setticase and “Fancy's Knoll,” by Rita Clarke. The latter was so well received that it was repeated at Peter boro. We have presented a radio play ev ery five weeks of the school year over station WSYR in Syracuse. Last fall we had a tea to which the faculty and aspirants to National Thespians were invited.

At the first meeting it was unam mously decided to call our page of the Bee-Journal, “We, the Pupils.’’ It consists of atheltics, dramatics, gos- sip and humor, not to mention school activities thruout the year. The success of the paper has been due to Miss Shulman’s assistance and cooperation with the staff. Officers for the year were: Editor-in-Chief .........Donna Waldo Assistant Editor ....Spencer Morecroft Women's Sports ............Hesper Hoyt Men’s Sports Peter Eppolilo Circulation Manager. ..

The closing of this school year marks the -fourth year of the orchestra, which under the guidance and patient super- vision of Mrs. Phoenix has accom- plished much. During its four years the orchestra has given several concerts, played at most of the activities held in the au- ditorium, made several broadcasts, and in all earned worthy recognition. The last event of this season was the annual Spring Concert given jointly by the orchestra and Glee Clubs. Although every year in June we have lost valuable members from our orchestra, with each September, we have added new members. We Sen- iors who will leave this June will cherish long the joy which we have received from cooperating with the orchestra, sharing in its good times, and gaining a deeper understanding of and appreciation for music. We regret but one thing...that we have not four more years to spend with the orchestra. The members of our orchestra are: Violins—Miss Lorna Oakes (faculty;. Miss Helen Jacobs (faculty), Helen Nichols, Robert Rubin, Pember New- berry, Evelyn Hilts, Mildred Lehner. Alwyn Lehner, Phyllis Woolsey, Ham- ilton Mero. Flute—Emerson Brower. Trumpets—John Lumbrazo, Wayne Sisson, Frank Morano, Harold Carey, Erwin Rice. Clarinets—Buster Hall, Marion Leh- ner, Spencer Morecroft. Saxophone—William Cox. Trombone—Teddy Schirmer.

The band, during the ’36-’37 season, participated in the football and bas- ketball games and played at several boxing matches. The highlight of the season was the festival held at Oneida, which all of the bands of Madison County took part in. The combined band formed by the in- divi.'.ual school bands appeared to be the largest ever formed at a festival of that kind, the total number being 331 students. The band wishes to thank Francis Meyers of Utica, and his assistant Mr. Jack Brunner for their kind assis- tance in making this a boom year for the C. H. S. Band. —JOHN LUMBRAZO ooooooooo HUMOR Hotel Proprietor: “Do you want the porter to call you?” Francis M.: “No thanks, I awaken every morning at seven.” Hotel Prop.: “Then would you mini calling the porter?” Dumb Dora says the days in sum- mer are longer because the heat ex- pands them.

FOOTBALL WITH a football season and a lack of experienced and season- ed material facing him, “Pinky” Schmidt, our coach, molded one of the best football teams in this higli school’s history. Despite the lack of weight and experience, the boys al- ways gave a splendid account of themselves, and were in the games every minute. Getting off to a ragged start, Ca.;- astota was trampled bj the Alumni but came back to play a great game of ball. The team seemed to click re- markably well on dry days because they had a clever passing as well as running attack. The Oneida game was rather dull from the standpoint that Canastota was three or four touchdowns better in power but failed to get that bail over the last yard line. The afternoon was wet and muddy and this added to the dreariness of the game.

BOXING THE boxing toara, under the coaching of “Pinky” Schmidt and training of “Andy” Vernon, en- joyed a very successful season. The team made up mostly of raw recruits except for Gregory A. Sgroi and Bennie Sgroi and later “Andy” Mariano and Charles Lowery, fought its way to third place in an interschol- astic tournament at Oswego. “Andy” Mariano and Charles Ponti- cello returned home interscholastic champions, Charles Lowery and Bus- ter Hall winning second place laurels. Third place honors were shared b. Bennie Sgroi, S. Guifre, J. Molinari, C. Kincaid and V.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL WITH the basketball season at iiand and games scheduled, Coach “Pinky” trained his boys to compete with the best. He built a team around the more experienced players. The team proved difficult to beat and at the close of the season, Canastota was among the leaders of Central New York. In behalf of all the athletes in high school, I would like to take this op portunity to express our gratitude tor the splendid treatment we have all received as well as a successful year, one to be envied by any high school.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL THE Canastota girls made botn a good name and a record for themselves by winning eleven ganr.es out of thirteen played. The first de- feat was to the Alumni, but this only urged the girls on. The second defeat to Verona was enough for the gins and victory was theirs from then on. Elizabeth Quattrocciochi was high scorer for the year with 177 points, Gwendolyn Brophy was next with 85 points. The following girls receive letters for basketball, Brophy, Dell'Aquil’.a, Quattrocciochi, Near, Perretta, Ber- telero, Rhodes, Albanese and Cardner. The schedule was as follows: c. H.

Only three games were played. They lost to N. Hartford 2 to 1, but won the return game by 1 to 0. The last game of the year was played at Sherburne and it ended in a scoreless tie . A Rhythm Review which took the place of the annual Gym Demonstra- tion was a huge success. It included dancing, marching and singing by the girls, and was under the direction of Miss Margaret Heller. To Miss Heller and Mr. Schmidt, we would like to extend our appre- ciation for all they have done to make this year one we will never forget. —ANGELINE DELLAQUILLA ooooooooo Most people hate to ride in a patrol Inez: “Who gave the bride away?” wagon, but one will do in a pinch.

BASEBALL Representatives of varsity baseball, under the coaching of William “Pinky” Schmidt, were willing to ‘play ball’ this season but the team lacked capable substitutes to fill sev- eral newcomers, who naturally needed experience. As a result several veiy close games were played. Next year there will be a veteran team on the field and we hope that the team will enjoy success. Those receiving block letters are James Near, Thomas Licciardello, Ed- ward Stankivitz, Charles Stankivitz.

We’ll do the pleasant and hitter things With an ecpial vigor for both. We’ll fight the battles we know Life brings l'or they’ll help us complete our growth. And when we’ve left our hope behind, And see no more ahead, We’ll gladly give our place in life Lor someone to live in our stead. —Mary Harris ooooocooo FRESHMAN CLASS POEM (To the tune of “Little Old Lady”; Back in nineteen tnirty-six, When we were “FRESHMAN BAB- IES”— How those Seniors gave us all the air And, although our title sticks, We escaped the “rabies”— Though at times, we’re MAD enough to swear. How they gave us snooty looks Made us carry all their books— Bet your life, we managed to survive it. We don’t care. Chorus We’re little Freshmen, so they say Just a blot on the sky But we’ll get there—don’t you worry Bye and Bye— We are green; That may be so— But you watch as we go. We will prove to all of you we’rl anything but slow. Little bit of talent here; Little bit of knowledge there; Bet you’ll learn in three years more that we are pretty square.
