Jfaatltu CT; We, the Seniors of the Canastota High School, are both sorry and happy to leave: sorry, because we cannot take you with us, and happy, because we know that it is your desire to have us make somethin of ourselves, Through the last four years of our lives, we have appreciated your guidance which has helped to better us in prepar- ation to meet and overcome the obstacles which we shall encounter as we go out into a world, filled with greater prob- lems than those we have come in contact with up to this time. We know it has been hard for you to cope with so many different types of students, and. in our eyes, no one could have given 11s more kindly and more helpful advice and knowledge than that which you, the faculty, have given us. —GLADYS WRIGHT STAFF Editor-in-Chief.......

Being now in a position to look back, our high school careers seem to us only a short jump between care- free grade school days and the long anticipated commencement. With the close of graduation ex- ercises, we will, like a boy in the fairy tales, be sent off into the wide world to seek our fortunes. Naturally, we realize that the fairy tale side of life has been left far behind and it is a most serious venture which now faces us. We may be thankful that we are well-equipped with our supply of knowledge, gained in high school years, so that we may achieve a satisfactory- amount of success. If we could allow ourselves to be- come the least bit sentimental, being, as we are, a part of the cynical mod- ern world, we should be almost sorry to take this final step. It seems, we are well aware, leaving many of the old associations with classmates and faculty members, and departing from many of the good things which typi- fied a new world, yet reluctant � t'c leave the old. We are grateful to C. H. S., not only for the “book-learning” upon which it has nurtured us, but also for the memories which it has imparted to us. ....“The days of yore, will some no more, but thru our manly years....... the thoughts of you, so good, so true, will fill our eyes with tears.” —JEAN DAVIS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION .Judge Albert E. Campbell Mrs. May C. Phillips Charles H, Hoffman We, who graduate this year, are cer- tain that the Board of Education has capably managed the High School, se- curing for us the best possible oppor- tunities of education. Because the members of the Board represent such varied professions, they are most competent to prepare us for our lives after commencement. I ■ We all appreciate their efforts and Norman L. Stafford Dr. David 1. Hoyt Glen F. Bogardus, Clerk the results obtained by their coopera- tion, though we may not always have seemed grateful. It is due to their work that this High School is one of which we may all be proud. The mem- bers, especially Mr. Bogardus, well de- serve our praise and gratitude, for we are sure they have always had our best interests in mind in whatever they have done. —WINONA BROWER 10 the; toot FACULTY A stands for all of them, we think they are grand.

It was cold in Janu- ary and rainy in September. Our spirits were not visibly dampened, however, as we were, and still are, a happy-go-lucky group. Under the guidance of Miss Powers and Miss Heller, we elected as offi- cers, Spencer Morecroft, President, Ellen DeCapua, Vice President; Will- iam Cox, Vice president and Jennie Treasurer. Green and Gold are our chosen colors, and our flower is the yellow rdse. Out motto is “Respice, aJ- spice, prospice.” We held two picnics that year, one in September at Campbell’s farm and the other at Green Lake. There was no question about everyone’s being happy. As sophomores our ranks were stil! full. Raymond Taylor, President; Will- iam Coxe Vice president and Jennie Raiti, treasurer, were our officers We had a party in the gym instead of a picnic. Volley ball was the big attraction with our advisors keeping score. Baseball and swimming at Green Lake on our spring picnic clos- ed our year. As freshmen and sophomores the dreams of our achievements-to-be were rosy. We vowed that we would have none of the financial troubles of the preceding classes, but despite our of- ficers, President William Cox; Vice president Inez Fox; and Treasure� ’ Eleanor Harris, we were not mucn different. This year's party was a Hallow’een masquerade with Ruth Durfee as San- ta Claus running off with the first prize. Our refreshments were the sea- sonal cider and doughnuts. June fourth we held our Junior Prom when Jean Davis and Bessie Campbell, co-chairman, and Ruth Dur- fee, heading the decoration committee did excellent work. We actually man- aged to make our dance profitable, financially, as well as socially. We took the Seniors to Owasco Lake on a rainy day, but everybody had a good time. It cleared up a little before we ate. Who didn’t ride on the roller coaster? It seems to be silence we hear. After electing Spencer Morecroft as President; Virginia Cardner, Vice President, Aurel Sattler, Secretary and Eleanor Harris, Treasurer, we wera ready to begin our Senior year. We had our fall picnic at Campbell’s farm. It was cold this year, so wc went inside for games and dancing after having devoured our hamburg- ers. Apparently we thrive on cold weath- er for our next event was a sleign ride, which was perfect except for lack of space. Someone seemed to be always on top of everybody and every- thing, if they didn’t get discouraged and walk part way. Hot cocoa and dancing afterwards were very success- ful in warming up cold toes. The Senior Ball, looked forward to for weeks, was in May, with the sea- sonal May pole featured. We danced around the pole, even though the vari- colored streamers were tightly fast- ened above our heads. Our spring didn’t last long enough and we soon wished it hadn’t come so soon, as it ended, bringing us face to face with regents, and then on to Commencement. —BETTY DeLANO HUMOR Then there was the Scotchman who it wasn’t exactly that he loved her so fell in love with the girl next door, much, but it sure saved carfare. THE TOOT 13 JUNIOR CLASS As Freshmen, our great dignity and prominence at having arrived in high school left us time for only social ac- tivity which was planned as a hot dog roast to be held at Agnes Whitmeyer’s. However, as the appointed hour ar- rived a thunderstorm accompanied it, making it necessary to hold our picnic in the high school. A large number attended. Charles Ponticelid was our president this year. CMier officers were: Vice President...........Rose Raiti Secretary..........Patricia Wallace Treasurer........Mary Jane Aibanese Again this year, our second in hign school, our pians for an ouiing were somewhat dampened when the day of a planned frolic ut Suburban Park turned out to be rainy. However, lti brave Sophomores ventured thru the clouds to the park and reported a marvelous time, especially with the scooters. Later in the year we held a very successful party in the high school gym. Headed by our president John Molinari, 30 Sophomores played games and danced to the music of the victrola and valiant efforts of sev- eral talented (??) pianists. The other officers for this year were: Vice President .Mary Frances Stahler Secretary..............Warren Johnson Treasurer........Mary Jane Aibanese The Junior year started out witn a bang with $16 in the treasury and the touowing officers: President..............Howard Gleason Vice President........Herbert Leneker Secretary ...................June Wood Treasurer...............Hesper Hoyt In December we held a party in tne high school which was only fairly well attended because of a severe snow storm. This year we entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior picnic as well as staging the Junior Prom, headed by Mary Jane Aibanese, which proved to be a huge success. Before that, we were made very proud of ourselves by the noble way in which Marjorie Nichols and John Molinari acquitted themselves at prize speaking, both bringing in the first prize. —JUNE WOOD SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore events started off with Freshmen heckling and we quite en- joyed our privileges. However, there were no hard feelings we hope. At our first meeting officers were elected as follows: President...............Mary Morecroft Vice President..........Lorna Weimer Secretary.................Grace Penna 'treasurer............ Aageline Ippolit i It might almost appear as if the boys were quite disinterested in their own welfare from the outcome of the bal- lots, an all girl cabinet. Along in the fall, we felt it about time to make a social name for our- selves with the result, the Sophomore picnic which turned out very success- fully, the menu consisting of the tra- ditional “weiners”. The wind being rather bitter, however, it was neces- sary for us to beat an early retreat and we scurried into the school bus, glad for shelter. Again in February, social desires arose and we held our “Valentine Party” with a great number turning cut. Entertainment consisted mainly ot dancing in the gym and heavy com- petition in ping-pong tournaments. Now we resign our place to the Freshmen and we sincerely hope that they receive as much enjoyment from their sophomore term as we have. - MARY TIBBITS FRESHMAN CLASS The class of '41, meek because of the domineering looks of upper class- men, wandered aimlessly about the halls during September. At our first meeting we elected officers as follows: President........Charles Borgognoni Vice President.......Albert Deppoliti Secretary........;.......LaVerna Fox Treasurer...............Doris Durfee In October a Halloween party was held in the High School gym. Games were played, refreshments served and everyone had a grand time. Later we planned a sleigh ride, but as the weather man wouldn’t cooperate it turned out to be a January party. We’re still going strong and, (as Freshmen do), have worthy ambitions for the future. —DORIS G. DURFEE 14 THE TOOT CLASS PROPHECY ....We look into the future and in- tercept, temporarily, the following let- ters in the U. S. mail....... 1801 Otis Street, North East, Washington, D. C. June 20, 1948 My dear Alice: It was very thoughtful of you to remember me on my birthday. Just to show you how much I appreciate it, I will make this letter long enough for even you. Yes, June does remind me of com- mencements, and I often wonder wha‘ each of our classmates of ’38 is doing. I had an opportunity to see some of them when I spent last Easter vaca- tion at Canastota. Perhaps you would enjoy hearing about them. I was surprised to find Nello Dep- piletto managing the Avon Theatre. His best paid ushers are Bonnie Cun- ningham, Rosemarie Bertelero, Rosa Lambo and Gilda Paone. Doris Camp is running an escort bureau in Canastota, which is patron- ized by young and old. Jean Davis and Elizabeth Campbell entertained me at a restaurant operat- ed by Julia LaMont and Jane Dean. Jean is now the wife of a Cornell graduate and Bessie directs a school for the young ladies of Canastota. Her fiance is an African explorer. Ivan Walters and Clifford Osgood re- main bachelors. Ozzie is a butcher in the store next to the old Weaver Hotel and Ivan has a farm near Whitelaw. Harley Olcott, who has a farm near- by, says that they attend all country dances regularly. Pauline Bortle married a fellow who is a conductor on the New York Cen- tral railroad. They have two adorable children, a boy and a girl. William Cox has organized an or- chestra which is heard at the Grange Hall every Saturday night. It isn’t quite as good as Guy Lombardo's. Coxie’s latest song is “Always Put off Until Tomorrow What You Don’t Feel Like Doing Today.” Louis Cretaro has a pool room where the old post office used to be and I un- derstand that he is quite successful. John Debrucque has become a fam- ous horticulturist in the Debruque greenhouses, and Robert Rubin is not- ed for his work as a veterinarian. Curtis Kincaid and Charles Lowery do landscape gardening and give box- ing lessons as a sideline. Virginia Cardner is matron of the Canastota Memorial Hospital. Erwin Rice teaches agriculture at C. H. S. and is at the head of the farm- er’s S. K. B. association. In case you haven’t heard of the society, it’s The Sure-Kill Bug Association.” Another member of the C. H. S. fac- ulty is Jennie Raiti, who teaches lan- guages. k lorence Brundage models dresse3 at Gleason’s store. Ruth Rounds married that farmer and is very happy. You wrote that Doris Cary is teach- ing school in Peterboro. Does she stiil keep house for her brother Lawrence, on his farm, or has he married? How is Winona Brower’s kinder- garten progressing? I think she should have opened it in Canastota rather than in Peterboro. Upon going over my mail, I find a post card from John Musacchio who is touring Europe with his fiddle. He intends to give concerts at the Avon Theatre as soon as he returns. I often see Spencer Morecroft here in Washington. Of course you know that he is a Senator. His measures are very seldom helpful to our peace move- ment. I am pleased with the progress our movement has made. I must close in order to return to this noble work. Don’t fail to write about as many of our ciassmates as possible. Until then, I remain affectionately, Your Classmate of ’38. —RUTH DURFEE • • • • 71 James Street Syracuse, New York June 30, 1948 Dear Ruth: I’m glad to hear of the progress of your peace movement. The work in Syracuse is also accomplishing much. I believe that in a short time everyone will want peace....even our old class- mates of ’38. In answering your letter, I’ll try to tell you about all of them about whom I was able to find anything. Many of them still live around Canastota. The other day, while in Canastota, I heard that Ellen DeCapua and Mur- iel Tanner are running a dress shop for society “debs” in New York City. THE TOOT 15 Betty DeLano has made a big place for herself in Vassar. She’s teacher of French there. Several others of the class entered the field of education. Lewis Farnum has become baseball and basketball coach at Yale and Yale hasn’t lost a game since he was add- ed to the staff. Aurel Sattler and Eleanor Harris founded a school in upper New York state, which fs to the Adirondacks what Vassar is to the Hudson. Patricia Wales is the English instructor, be- sides writing articles for many promi- nent literary magazines. Angelo Finnocchario started a night club in Syracuse. It leads a double life ...being a dancing academy by sun- light. Rose Fiore runs the “Teashop on the Turnpike”. Her specialties are fried codfish and baked beans. Gurtha Sny- der wears a cook’s uniform. Inez Fox has a beauty parlor. Its slogan is “Glorification at a Price”. Bessie French and Anna Setiz are two of her most expert operators. Pauline Harle is private secretary to Owen D. Young, and gets all her electrical appliances for her home, free. Oh, yes you asked about Lawrence and Doris Cary. They’re both married and living on very prosperous farms near Peterboro. Iona Drain is married, lives in Can- astoa, and knits dresses for Canastota society. Armando Galavotti, Myron Strong and Gerald Wakefield, with no assist- ance of the fairer sex, (meaning they are bachelors) own and operate one of the largest dairy farms in Central New York. They’re making lots of money, but they just aren’t susceptible. Ruth Helmer runs a poultry farm in partnership with her husband. They can be seen with Junior on Peterboro street, nearly every Saturday night. trading eggs for next week’s groceries. Winona Brower’s kindergarten has made rapid strides. She now owns a private one in Syracuse. Harold Root is the inventor of a new device, of which every automobile own- er should have at least one. It is a rubber car front which makes the car bounce back off a given number of trees and telephone poles. His modes- ty prompts him to remain anonymous. Vic Seabrooke is a taxi driver for the “Dime Taxi Company” which operates in Canastota now. However, he has a hard time keeping his eyes on the road when there’s a pretty girl in the back seat. Bennie Sgroi and Charles Slover have taken over the management of the old Weaver Hotel. It now has a cocktail lounge, patronized by all the best people. And Wayne Sisson went to Holly- wood, as we thought he would. The ladies, however, were so amorous that he returned to the old plantation. Concetta Tagliente is termed Canas- tota’s perfect hostess. Her parties arc famed for miles around. Now I’ve come to perhaps the most succesful member of the class . Ray- mond Taylor. You undoubtedly know of his position as the youngest presi- dent that Wall Street ever had. Gladys Wright and Lucille Wilkinson hold secretarial positions in his office, but I have heard that they plan to start ar. independent brokerage office soon. This is a complete inventory of the class of 1938. When you have completed your peace drive you must come to see me so that we may visit the members of the most industrious class that ever left the pro- tecting portals of dear old C. H. S. Your classmate of ’38, —ALICE DORRANCE 16 THE TOOT CLASS WILL We, the class of 1938, being (wo hope) sound of mind and body, and in almost total possession of our senses, do hereby will and bequeath the total of our worldly goods to such unfortunates as are indicated below: Betty DeLano and Raymond Taylor leave a good amount of their brains to those wacky Winchells, Perretta and Setticase. Lowery, Kincaid, Wales, Lambo and Muriel Tanner leave some unused alarm clocks to Alex Fiore. We also leave Alex the best looking blonde available Louis Cretaro gives his position on the football team to Barbara Im- hofe who could make a 60 yard dash in two steps. To Marjorie Nichols we senior girls leave our boy-friends, for if we didn’t, she has enough personality to get them anyway. At the request of Miss Powers, Our strong SILENT man, Harley Ol- cott, leaves a portion of this si- lence to the loquacious Lenekei. Bob Rubin leaves his wooly angora sweater to Hesper on which to polish her apples. To Rodney we leave a shiny new Buick, so that he can get a date with Red. Ellen DeCapua leaves her position as school style leader to any girl capable of maintaining it. Bob Shumard leaves Jittersbug John- son his voice to match Warren's musical enthusiasm. Gurtha Snyder and Ruth Rounds give Anna Laura Lake and Helen Glennie a little- flesh to ease the hard knocks of life. We seniors leave you juniors the pleasure of reading the American Observer every Chewsday night. Charles Lowery’s flashy smile goes to Rodney Jaquay, who has so few smiles. I leave my seat in study hall to the next year’s editor of Gadabouts; from that spot nothing will escape, your eagle eye. Angelo Finn leaves his “way with the ladies” to Gerald Lonkey. Rosemarie leaves her reputation as a good sport to Mary Jane. To Victoria Farnach and Patsy Clark, Eleanor Harris wills her stature and honesty. Jean Davis and Peggy Campbell leave their lasting friendship to Margar- et and Tillie. The entire senior class joins in con- tributing dignity to Phil Hamlin. Ruth Durfee leaves to her sister Dor- is, her dramatic ability on and olr stage. We give Pat Wallace a manicure set for home use only. Spencer Morecroft wills his ability to “trip the light fantastic” to long, lean and lonesome Leneker. Inez Fox leaves—but she’s taking Jimmy with her. Rosemarie Bertelero gives one of her extra male admirers to Phyllis Woolsey whom we are sure will appreciate the gift. Coxie’s reputation as a ladies’ man goes to killer-diller Hall. With magnanimity, I endow my po- sition as will-writer, my subtle wit (?), and a first-aid kit equip- ped with liniment and bandages to the highest bidder. And last of all, we extend to the fac- ulty of Canastota High School our sincere gratitude for their four long years of work and pat- ience in order that we may grate- fully say—“WE LEAVE”. P- S.—The management is in no way responsible for ungrateful accept- ance of the above bestowals. —PATRICIA WALES HUMOR Miss Jacobs: “Have you ever had any stage experience?” Bessie: “Well, I had my leg in a cast once.” Eve: “Do you think I’m a good- looking woman, Adam?” Adam: “I don’t know; I never saw any other.” 17 _________THE TOOT________ CLASS OFFICERS AND HONORS CLASS OFFICERS President ....................................

On the street of Peterboro, In the village, Canastota, —Knistestota, three still pine trees_ Stood our stately Alma Mater. Green behind it spread the meadow____ There the field for all athletics, Field for hockey, football, baseball, Where girls and boys, alike, competed. Bright within it sat the students, Struggling hard with text and note books, Working, playing, laughing, talking. There the wise and learned teachers Coached, with zeal, their wayward pupils__ Caring sometimes more for playing Than for History C or English; Taught them how to learn and live well, ’Till after four years they departed From the noble halls of learning. Forth into the wide world straightway, All alone went each alumnus, Proudly with his school diploma, Filled with all his hard-earned knowledge: To become, perhaps, a leader, Or another John Q. Public, Each to make his fame and fortune, And ne’er forget his Alma Mater. -J. I.

The “Symphonic Singers,” formerly known as the Girls’ Glee Club, held its first meeting, January 13, 1933. The officers elected were: Hesper Hoyt, president; Betty DeLano, vico president: June Wood, secretary and Audrey Near, business manager. Re- hearsals were scheduled for Tuesday.- and Thursday noons. After successful training, the “Sym- phonic Singers” first sang for the as- sembly group at school and then made their first public aopearance at a meet- ing of the Stafford Missionary Society at the home of Mrs. Leo Phillips. Rhodes, Mary Buttino, Mafalda Bel- lino, Muriel Tanner, Thelma Breed, Ruth Chandler, Elizabeth Mott, Louise Cesarini, Florence Moore, Rose Sor- bello, Anna Perretta, Inez Fox, Bon- nie Cunningham, Molly Russitano, Catherine Paone, Hesper Hoyt, Julia Stagnetti, Pat Clarke, Carrie DiVeron- ica. Freshman girls won the most num- ber of intramural games, with 7th period gym class next in line. —ROSE BERTELERO CLUB During the Christmas season the singers sang several Chistmas num- bers at the Presbyterian church. Fol- lowing that, they made an appearance at the concert, April 29 in the Canas- tota High school, this time under the direction of Miss Helen Hosmer, head of the music department at Potsdam. The most important event of the year came June 3, when the “Sym- phonic Singers” together with the Boys’ Glee Club went to Hamilton for the annual music festival. Here they contributed to the mass singing directed by Miss Hosmer. The singers hope to be even more skilled next year, for the enjoyment of everyone. —H. F. HOYT THE TOOT 28 K. E. SOCIETY At the first meeting of the year we proposed names for new members, and at the next meeting we discussed and voted on these names, accepting eleven. Solemn Initiation took place at Mary Stafford’s. As a means of earning money, we have held candy sales at various times tmuout the year. We also sold pop- corn at the Battle of Music. During the week of Thanksgiving vacation the annual K. E. Convention was held in Schenectady. Representing our chapter were Aurel Sattler, our president, and Jean Davis as a prize speaker. They both returned with sou- venir gifts of keys with the K. E emblem on them; Jean received hon- orable mention among the prize speak- ers. At Christmas time we donated a basket of food to a needy family, each member contributing some article of food. Our annual K. E. ball was held De- cember 30th at the dancing academy and was a huge success both financial- ly and socially. The hall was trimmed with holiday decorations and our K. E. banner of blue and gold hung over the doorway. At the first meeting in January we elected new officers which are as fol- lows: President.________________ Hesper Hoyt Vice President... Mary Jane Albanesc Treasurer...............Lorna Weimer Chaplain...................Mary Tibbits Corresponding Sec.,Molly Bonaventura Recording Sec..............June Wood Names for new members were pro- posed at the following meeting and the discussion and voting resulted in the acceptance of six. We held our annual banquet at Hotel Oneida, our main speaker being Mrs. Robert Proctor. Aurel Sattler pre sided as toastmistress, Jean Davis spoke in behalf of the old members and Mary Frances Stahler in behalf of the new ones. We have had a very successful year and we sincerely hope that next year will be just as successful. —DORIS CAMP PRESS CLUB Most of the members of the old Press Club graduated last year, but the few of us who were leit wished to continue the organization. We ask- ed Mr. McLean for permission to do so, and It was granted willingly. Misj Callaghan, the Home Economics in- structor, kindly consented to serve as Faculty Advisor for the club, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank her for the cheerful help and ever ready consultation that she has given us. We also wish to thank the Bee- Journal for its donation of space, ana close cooperation with the Ciub. It was unfortunate that the space demands of local news and advertisements limited our space allottment and made the paper appear “skimpy at times, but we do not wish to appear ungrateful, as we really are greatly indebted to the Bee-Journal. For a time there was considerable agitation for printing a paper of our own, but the plan died down due to the fact that the mimeograph machine of the school is not in satisfactory working order, and the initial cost tor material for the duplicating machine, was prohibitive. Many of the students have objected to the fact that the gos- sip is read by the entire Madison County tand the parents), but as yet there has been no remedy for this problem. To those who didn’t think the paper was so good at times, may we remind them that most of the Rress Club, in fact almost all of the members, were new members this year, and haven’t had the experience which is essential in publishing a successful paper. To those that scoff at the above state- ment, may we remind them, that wo have always welcomed contributions to the paper, and those who wanted to better the paper were welcome to do so at any time. —HERBERT LENEKEK THE TOOT 29 1st row: D. Gatto, C. Kincaid, W. Tanner, C. Ponticello, R. Albanese, H. Wilde, V. Setticase, G. LeBlanc; 2nd row: Pinky” Schmidt (coach), E. Fox, J. Near, L. Cretaro, W. Cox, B. Sgroi, N. Deppolitti, T. Guiffre, A. Finnocchario (manager.) FOOTBALL The annual call for football men was issued by Coach Schmidt at the opening of the school term. About twenty-five men, most of whom were inexperienced, reported for drill. Al- though the team did not make as good a showing as in former years, any rival can truly say that our team gave them hard opposition from the kick- off until the final gun. The team was able to win from Lowville, secure a tie with Fulton, but lost the other contests to the Alumni, Cazenovia, Onondaga Valley, Procter High of Utica and Oneida. The annual football banquet was held December 15th. The following men will receive let- ters: A. Finnocchario, Mgr., R. Albanese, B. Sgroi, D. Gatto, J. Near, C. Osgood, L. Cretaro, W. Cox, L. Whipple, W. Tanner, H. Wilde, V. Seabrook, C. Ponticello, C. Kincaid, T. Guiffre, G. Fabrizi, J. Dew, E. Fox, C. Stankiviiz. —IVAN WALTERS PSI SIGMA PSI The Psi Sigma Psi was founded early in March 1938 by Mike Perretta and Vinnie Setticase, who respectively be- came president and vice president with Charles Stankivitz, secretary-treasurer. The club was limited to twenty-four members, according to the charter. There are twelve girls and twelve boys belonging. It was founded on tho principle of promoting better friend- ship and understanding among the pupils of High School, and up-to-date has been quite successful. Meetings have been heid weekly on Wednesdays, with most of the mem- bers attending regularly. A party- dance, which was a tremendous suc- cess, was held in the early spring. In the latter part of May, a picnic was held at Suburban Park. In a small way these “get-togethers” have helped make Canastota High school a better place to come to. —MICHAEL PERRETTA 30 THE TOOT 1st row: B. Sgroi, G. Sgroi, C. Montalbano, J. Rinando, C. Lowery, 2nd row: E. Grems (manager), V. Hall, R. Rubin, C. Vecchio, F. Gerbig; 3rd row: I. Wal- ters, V. Setticase, P. Eppolito, J. Burke. BOXING Due mostly to the lack of men, which made it necessary to forfeit many bouts, the Canastota High schooi boxing team didn’t have a very good season this year. Montalbano was the outstanding boxer for the year, being undefeated all season. Individual results were as follows: Slover, in the 95 lb. class won 1; Fiore, 105 lbs., lost 3; Guiffre, 115 lbs. won 1, drew 1, lost 2; Hall, 120 lbs. won 1 out of 6; Rinando, 130 lbs. drew 2 and lost 2; LeBlanc, lost 2; Tanner, 135 lbs. won 3, lost 3; Mon- C. H. S Because of the arrival of Maurice Baritaud, our band members immedi- ately took on new iife. The school bought new song books and the band played the pieces while the rest of the high school sang them in assembly. Our band went to Hamilton on June 3rd for the Music Festival. There we were combined as a whole unit with the rest of the schools. There has been a great improvement in the band during the past year and the outlook seems bright for the fut- talbano, 140 lbs. won all; Lowry 145 lbs. won 4 out of 6; Kincaid, 155 lbs. won 3 out of 4. The total results were as follows: Ogdensburg, 7-6, our favor; Fulton 10-3; Oswego 9V -3%; Ogdensburg 7- 6; Fulton 7-6; Oswego 10-3. We defeated Syracuse University Freshmen 3%-lMi. Fiore, Guiffre, Montalbano and Low- ry won individual championships in the 105, 115, 140 and 145 lb. divisions. Ed (Cootie) Grems served as boxing manager this year. —ROBERT RUBIN' BAND ure. With the exception of a few new players, the band was composed of veterans. They are as follows: Trumpets, R. Jaquay, F. Morano, V. Rossi, C. Moore, D. Robinson. Trombones, J. Molinari, L. Sterling. Bass, M. Sterling, T. Schirmer, Miss Heller, P. Holliday, G. Cox. Clarinets, B. Hall, M. Leaner, R. Dur- fee, F. Sterling, A. Deppoletti. Drums, V. Kimball, C. Osgood, D. Capperellt, G.

Finnocchario, W. Tanner. TRACK The Canastota track team was coached this year by Sherry Wood, and showed much progress. Vic Seabrooke was the outstanding track man this year, while others on the team included: H. Wilde, H. Ol- cott, B. Tanner, R. Wilde, D. Gatto, C. Ponticello, A. Finnocchario, M. Sterling, D. Cronk, A. Galavotti, W. Cox, D. Sweezey, G. LaBlanc, C. Moore, J. Becker and V. Setticase. Manager. The first meet of the season was at Norwich, a triangular meet be- tween Norwicn, Cazenovia and Can- astota. Norwich being the winner. Canastota lost by a very small mar- gin to Cazenovia which took second place. The second meet was at Lowvillo, between Low ville, Boonville and Can- astota. Lowville took first place, Boon- ville second and Canastota third. Other meets were at Colgate where Canastota took second place in com- petition with Earlville, West Winfield, Verona and Greene; and at Ilion, be- tween Canastota and Ihon where Vic Seabrooke was the only scorer for Canastota, taking third place in the pc:e vaults. -BOB RUBIN HUMOR Freddie: “This is the last day to- gether. Tomorrow I go away, and shan’t see you till v e meet in the city But I shall not kiss anybody till I see you”. Ruth: “Oh, Freddie, for heaven’s sake, don’t get out of practice.” Husband: “The man you’ve invited here used to kiss you before we were married”. Wife: “So did you.” Husband: But I’ve got over it, and he hasn’t.” 32 THE TOOT 1st row: W. Rhodes, A. Finnocchario, L. Cretaro, L. Farnam, T. Licciar- dello; 2nd row: V. Seabrook, A. Mariano, A. Galavotti, G. Fabrizi, A. Guiffre. BOYS' BASKETBALL Coach Schmidt’s basketeers enjoyed a most successful season, winning eleven contests, while losing only five. The team was noted fcr its ex- cellent teamwork. Approximately five hundred points were chalked up for the locals againsi 400 for their opponents. Thomas “Archie Liccardello led the team in points, followed in close succession by Finnocchario, Farnum, Cretaro and Rhodes. Farnum led with personal fouls, sinking 26 out of 42. The team was supported by excellent substitutes and was managed by James Sgroi. —IVAN WALTERS NATIONAL THESPIAN TROUPE Our honorable society initiated six new members into its ranks this year: Libby Mott, John Molinari, William Cox, Ivan Walters, Herbert Wilde and Lillian Benishek. Our annual play was a clever domes- tic comedy, well-dramatized by Taylor and Davis, Ruth Durfee, Mary Stab- ler, Herbert Leneker, Ivan Walters, Clifford Osgood and John Molinari. It was entitled The Patsy”. Besides several radio plays, a series of one-act plays was presented in as- sembly: “Sparkin’ ”, “The Flattering Word”, “Stuffed Owls” and “Op O’ Me Thumb.” “Sparkin’ ” was also present- ed in the Masonic Minstrels. The pur- pose of these one-act plays was to de- velop new talent. Various students as- sisted with make-up and direction of these plays. A series of social meetings was held during the term and all those who at- tended enjoyed themselves. —LILLIAN BENISHEK THE TOOT 1st row: R. Bertelero, M. Buttino, M. Albanese V. Rhodes, L. Caeserini, G. Brophy; 2nd row: B. Cunningham, M. Stafford, (manager), Miss Heller, (coach), I. Fox, (scorekeeper), P. Clark, M. Tanner.
