THE TOOT 13 HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS Sometimes a class will enter High School quietly and as quietly, pass thru the four years of High School Life, unmarked by real distinction and nibbling along at an uneventful exist- ence. NOT SO WITH THE CLASS OF 1940. Since we first set our toes on the floors of C. H. S., we have made ’em “sit up and take notice.” As Fresh- men and Sophomores, we carried or. in an understanding manner, both so- cially and as sincere students. Our first President was Bud Hall; our second Mary Morecroft. Each year has brought us new hon- ors and accomplishments. This, our Junior year, has been especially fine. Our officers are: President, Roberi Durfce; Vice President, M. Morecroft; Secretary, Helene Mengucci; Treasur- er, Vincent Malfitano. The Junior Prom, held on April 19, was the bright beam of the social activities. Amid “Dark Purple” decor- ations and the sweet strains of Bobby Lanes’ Orchestra, we danced, proud of the fact that we had so gioriousiy reached 1939. What class could boast a prettier Oueen than the yueen ot that Junior Prom, our own Lorna? The box of candy presented to her was but a small token of our real admiration and feeling for her. When it comes to Oratory—our Mary carried off the honors in splen- did style at the Prize Speaking con- test this year. Please forgive us if we feel a bit proud, it’s just our class spirit, we can’t help it. Now, when you give our class a hand, Add ten more lusty cheers For our Miss Mackey who has stood By us these last three years. —MARGARET ASH HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE CLASS The Senior class of 1941 The Sophomore class began the year by electing the class officers. They are as follows: President ..........Charles Borgononi Vice President .....Holden Shumard Treasurer ................Betty Maine Secretary ..............LaVerna Fox The rules which we decided to im- pose upon the Freshmen at the begin- ning of the year were highly appre- ciated by the upper classmen. Of our first social attempt of the year nothing more need be said. We are now planning a second attempt which we hope will be a success. Our window, which was received with much approval, left our treasury quite depleted, xne colors of the win- dow, which were originally green and goid are now green and orange. —LaVERNA FOX HISTORY OF FRESHMAN CLASS The class of '42 got off to a good start in High school by having as their class advisors Miss Powers and Miss Heller. Early in September they held their first Freshman Meeting and chose their class officers. They are as follows: President, Stanley Sweet; Vice Pres- ident, Sam DeFrancisco; Treasurer, Antenneta Lisi; Secretary, Elaine Ac- ker. Later in the year they held another meeting and chose Blue and Gold” as their class colors. At this same meet- ing—“Carpe diem” was chosen as their class motto. In October they held a masquerade party, in the winter they had a sleigh ride, and before this term is over they will have had a picnic. Besides the fun they have had they also are the first class in the history of Canastota High school to have bought their class window in their freshman year. —ELAINE ACKER
