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.

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
