THE TOOT 27 .10 Football Canastota’s football season for the year of 1939 was one of the best that we have had in recent years. Coach Schmidt entered the school in the Upper Mohawk Valley League in the follow- ing: football, basketball, baseball and track. The league in football consists of New Hartford, Whitesboro, Hamilton, Clinton, Cazenovia and Canastota. The team is about the lightest Canasto- ta has had in years. It started the season as inexperienced men with the exception of a few. Canastota lost their first game to Onei- da for this reason. The team having once been under fire rallied and defeated New Hartford, Hamil- ton, Cazenovia. Canastota was defeated by Clinton and Whitesboro who captured first place. Canastota, having been beaten out of first, took second.

THE TOOT 2» Glee This year our Glee Club, under the cap- able direction of Mr. and Mrs. Baritaud, has enjoyed a very successful year. Getting off to a good start by winning second prize at a Utica festival, the Glee Club climbed to great heights, reaching its zenith with the performance of “The Pirates of Penzance.” At the Spring Concert on May Club 24th, the High School Glee Club sang several numbers and a quartet composed of four out- standing members of the Club also took part. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Bari- taud, Miss Jacobs, Miss Heller and all others who contributed to our success. We hope to see next year’s Glee Club reach even greater heights. —HELEN MENGUCCI Mrs. Smith: “Nature gives the snail a house for his own protection—who can give another example”? Phyllis: “The crab”. Mrs. Smith: “Right! Another example”. Phipps: “Tinned sardines”. Miss Mackey: “Give me an example of in- direct taxation. Tommy K.: “The dog tax.” Miss Mackey: “ How is that?” Tommy K.: “The dog doesn’t have to pay it.” Staff Lament The student gets the paper, The school gets the fame, The printer gets the money, The staff gets the blame. When a census taker wants to get the pop- ulation of a Scotch village he simply rolls a penny down the street. Miss Powers:: “Who was Homer?” Dutton: “That’s the fellow Babe Ruth made famous.”
