THE TOOT 27 SCHOOL SONG OF C. H. S. Oh, come let us rally and rouse a cheer For the school that is always jolly, Winning her laurels from year to year Guided by school spirits true Famous for loyalty far and near We’ve nothing to do WITH folly. So come let us clink, but first let us drink A toast C. H. S. to you. Here’s to the school we love the best, Here’s to the students bright, Here’s to the faculty, best on earth, Here’s to the red and white Here’s to the love that joins us all, True as the stars above, Here’s to the team that always wins, Here’s to the school we love. Oh, C. H. S., dear C. H. S. Thy sons will ne’er forget That golden haze of student days IS round about us yet, Those days of yore will come no more, But through our manly years, The thoughts of you, so good, so true, Will fill our eyes with tears. The thoughts of you, so good, so true, Will fill our eyes with tears. PING PONG TOURNAMENT It was announced in' January that a ping pong tournament would be held in Canastota. When thirty-five boys enrolled to compete in the tourn- ament it was decided to divide them in two divisions, first and second class. The first class division was for the players with more experience and more ability. The contest ran from January 11th to January 30th. The semi-finals found Peter Ellis versus L. Cary and Almon New ver- sus H. Dorrance. Ellis beat Cary and Dcrrance conquered New, making El- lis and Dorrance contenders for top place in first division. Ellis won. In the second division in the semi- finals, Veschusio was versus Chengari and Bogardus versus D. Dew. Chen- gari defeated Veschusio and Bogardus overcame Dew, making Chengari and Bogardus contenders for the throne in in the second division. Chengari became top player in the second division by defeating Bogard- us, and thereby earning the right to challenge the winner of the first di- vision for the title of champion ping pong player in Canastota High school. The two winners in their respective divisions engaged in five matches, the winner of three matches becoming champion. Ellis won three, defeating Chengari, thereby becoming the No. 1 ping pong player in C. H. S. for the season ’38- ’39. —PETER ELLIS Mrs. Smith. “What are the proper- ties of heat?” Warren: “Properties of heat are that heat expands bodies, while cold contracts them.” Mrs. Smith: “Very good. Can you give an example?” Warren: “les’m. In summer, when it is hot, the day is long, in winter, when it gets cold, it gets very short.”

IK THE TOOT CLASS PROPHECY Are you Madam Lulu who sees all, knows all about old schoolmates?” Yes, and for only a quarter, too.” I graduated from Canastota High School in 1939—just 10 years ago to- day— and I thought it was about time to find out what the rest of the class is doing.” All right. Now don’t speak and 1 will try to contact them in the crys- tal—ah! here they come. Why, Sir! You just can’t imagine what that class of yours has done!” “Dcn’t let me guess! Tell me!’ Evidently they couldn’t stand being separated for they nave established a little city of their own. It has a num- ber for a name. It is not quite Clear yet. I see a three and a nine! Of course! Thirty-nine”. The mayor of Thirty Nine is a young woman. Her name seems to be Rose. Rose Raiti, whose private secretary is Miss Mari- etta Corl. Among the prominent citi- zens is the well-known bank presi- dent, Mr. Jarvis Dew with his army of secretaries, Minnie Sgroi, Marie DeAngelus and Rose DeFraneisco. A few have gained national, if not inter- national fame such as Howard Glea- son and Warren Johnson, civil engin- eers; James Dorrance, airplane de- signer and the ‘Jacqiinary Band’ com- posed mostly of John Molinari and Rodney Jaquay. It seems that they couldn’t agree whose band it would be so they compromised on a composite name. They are now playing in their own cabaret. Theodore Mero, the famous agent, having recognized the peculiar talents of Rose Iannone and Iona Drain, has made it possible for them to appear with the Jacqiinary Band in a twin dancing act. This cab- aret seems to be very well put to- gether. There is a cute cigarette girl Pat Wallace and Aletha Yorton runs a lively hat-checking business. The bouncer, Charles Moore also has a lively business. The band broadcasts over station WARD, owned and op- erated by David Ward. They have a singer with the band too. His name is Dominick Gatto. The local college holds many emi- nent persons. There is the president. Miss Mary Frances Stahler, whose ef- ficient secretary is Margaret Lumbra- zo. A member of the faculty who has made himself famous is Prof. Robert Chaffee, who must overrate the brill- iance of his pupils, for he has to ans- wer all his baffling questions himself. Physical education is well taken care of by Mary Jane Albanese and Charles Ponticello, the football coach, while June Wood teaches English. Others who have made names for themselves are: Herbert Leneker, the one man newspaper; Vincent Setticase, chief of police; Herbert Wilde, justice of the peace; William Tanner, fire chief; the minister Lelana Whippie and his wife, Patricia Clarke; Martha Caldwell and her gas station; Alex Fiore, a free-lance dancer; Frances Scheid, with her home for orphans is called ‘Mother Scheid; Marion Lehner’s opera house where Jennie Ponticello sells tickets to operas star- ring Hesper Hoyt and Ted Schirmer; James Rinando, the professional pug- ilist; James DeGaspari, who edits ar. exclusive sports newspaper; Mollia Bcnaventura and Gertrude Danes), who operate a large general hospital, with Jessie Grilli as dietitian. Pauline Balducci takes care of children while their parents shop in Harriet We;- mer’s department store; Isabelle Wright has inherited a large fortune, is a well known philanthropist and has hired Agnes Whitmeyer for her private secretary; Kathryn Eppolito owns a tearoom, Rudolph Albanese a large grocery store; Michael Perretta’s pride and joy is a private cafe; Mar- jorie Nichols is the owner of a res- taurant; Claire Scanlon employs Eliz- abeth Mott, Catherine Paone and Frances Loguidice in her beauty sa- lon. Virginia Allen is employed by Gerard LeBianc to attract customers to his ice cream parlor. Almon New's trucks deliver fruit to the wives in the residential section, among whom are the former Evelyn Hilts, Helen Cordell, Eloise Case, and Hilda Al- banese. Lillian Benishek has a lease on the corner of Main and East Main streets so that she can paint pictures of passersby. Her best customer is Gerald Wakefield, because he is al- ways having himself painted with his latest swordfish catch—I don’t see anyone else. I must have covered them all.” “Thank you for the information. 1 am going to find the city of Thirtv Nine right now! Goodbye!” —LILLIAN BENISHEK —ALEXANDER FIORE
