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.”

THE TOOT 29 NATIONAL THESPIANS The Dramatic Club of C. H. S. is an old and venerable institution, but its successor, the National Thespian Hon- orary Society is a veritable babe in arms, having been enjoying promin- ence in this school for only about three years. During this short time it has made its presence felt by the fine quality of the dramatic work produced under the excellent tutelage of Miss Helen Jacobs, our advisor. Membership in the National Thes- pians is something to work for. Those who have achieved the honor of be- coming Thespians during the past year are: Phyllis Woolsey, John Dor- ris, Mary Lanzafarni, Doris Durfes, Helen Ely, Alfreda Tornabene, Rob- ert Wilde, William Tanner, Barbara Imhofe, Barbara Gleason and Fran- ces Setticase. The first activity of the year was a picnic at the summer camp of Mary Pat: “Will you be true when I am gene?” Bob: “Yes, but don’t be gone long.’ Tibbits on Oneida lake. It was heid last fall and everyone had an enter- taining evening. Our chaperones were Miss Jacobs and Miss Elizabeth How- ard. As usual the three-act play was presented in early December. This year the choice was “Spring Fever” a farce of college life, ably interpreted by Doris Durfee, Helen Ely, Frances Setticase, Marjorie Nichols, Phyllis Woolsey, Mary Frances Stahler, Her- bert Wilde, Ivan Walters, William Tanner, Clifford Osgood, Robert Wilde and Warren Johnson. The latest pro- duction was Mushrooms Coming Up”, a one-act play presented in chapel. Our year closes and we hope that the next year will be as full for the National Thespians, Troop 46, Canas- tota High school, as the past years have been for us, the class of 1939. —HOWARD GLEASON Miss Mackey: “What is a farm?” Harriet: “A piece of land entirely covered by a mortgage.”
