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.”

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
