12 THE root Junior Class The class of ’41 elected officers early in September, 1939, as follows: President, Charles Borgognoni; Vice president, Annie Morecroft; Secretary, Doris Durfee; Treas- urer, Phyllis Woolsey. During the latter part of November, the juniors and seniors buried the hatchet and held a party in the gym at which about 100 students of the classes attended. The juniors were not only an industri- ious and laborious class but proved to be very ta'ented in performing before the footlights of Canastota High School. On December 8, 1939, four juniors upheld the colors of their class in the annual three-act Thespian pro- duction “A Murder Has Been Arranged” out of a cast of nine. Our class not only was tal- ented with great dramatists but also had a few Carusos. Four of a cast of ten leads in the Glee Club production of “Pirates of Pen- zance” proved to be members of the class of '41. Cicero took to shame as six orators in the annual Prize Speaking Contest held on May 29, 1940 were members of our great class. The main event of the year was the Junior Promenade, he'd May 10, 1940, in the high school gymnasium, with George Ham- mond’s orchestra of Syracuse, furnishing the music. Being a royal class and always in the blue, it was decorated to resemble a ship. Not only proving to be the greatest social event of the year, it increased our treasury two- fold. It was one of the few proms in CHS’s history that proved to be a financial success. Finally, all of our successes and triumphs ate credited to our able and willing advisors, Mrs. Smith and Miss Dan e's. —PHYLLIS WOOLSEY Sophomore Class Having led, up this point two rather uneventful school years, we, the sophomores —Class of ’42 are now at a loss as to how to express our inactivity for your comprehen- sion. The outstanding achievement of our Freshman year was the instal’ation of our c’ass window, the first time a freshman class was ever so progressive. As sophomores we soon took advantage of our “rights” and voted as follows: Presi dent, Stanley Sweet; Vice President, Harry Galavotti; Secretary, Nona Severance; Treas- urer, Antonetta Lisi. On November 10, we once again ventur- ed out into the social world of C. H. S.; the Sophomore Hop was held in the gym. The us- ual music, a' well as unusual refreshments, wa provided. Without the willing and inspiring assist- ance of our two advisors, Miss Powers and Miss Heller, our aim for success would re- main but a background objective with slight chance of attainment. —SHIRLEY RUBIN Freshman Class Contrary to the rule, the weather on our first day in that magnificent institution called C. H. S. was delightful. Aft r a few awe-stricken days, we, the class of ’43 decid- ed to have a meeting. With Mrs. Fudeeco as our advisor we chose Richard Peretta as president, Michael DiNunzio as vice president, and as secretary and treasurer we chose Ruth Evans and Ma- rie Lambo, respectively. Meetings grew scarce until someone de- eded it would be nice to have another get- together. Committees were appointed to make arrangements for a sle ghride which wa3 held on January 6. Due to several mis- haps, we thought it best to postpone all fut- turc activities until we became Sophomores. —CONCEPTA ZUMBO
