L. Cummings 1941 THE TOOT 1941 EDITORIAL Four years are a long time when one is young. It is often long enough to make or break men. Therefore, when we entered C. H. S. four years ago, we were entrusting much of the development of our characters to the men and women with whom we came in daily contact. By their word and examples they became, unconsciously the criterion by which we judged ourselves. And they have not failed in this duty. We know that we are leaving high school to become better citizens because of their in- fluence. Standing as we do on the brink of manhood and womanhood, we have seen daily the lype of men and women that we wish to become. Some of us will leave high school to go on to more advanced education; for many of us, formal education will end with graduation day. But, where-ever we go, what-ever our walk of life may be, we will have had the best preparation that men can have, association with considerate, under- standing men and women whose own charac- ters have so often been fountains of strength, when youth needed help and encouragement. It is natural that we should not be with- out regrets on leaving this “foster mother,” our school. Here for four years we have work- ed and played, rejoiced and lamented. It has been a training ground for life, and the les- sons that we carry away are more than Latin or history or mathematics. We carry away a knowledge we owe to all those to whom we are now bidding farewell. —CHARLES BORGOGNONI BOARD OF EDUCATION Albert E. Campbell I)r. David M. Hoyt Mrs. May C. Phillips Joseph Waldo Claude B. Ellis Glen F. Bogardus. clerk During the four years which we have spent in high school, the class of ’41 has realized more and more the value of the Board of Education. We have come to look to them for guidance and help, and their ability and untiring patience have earned them our un- dying gratitude. The success of our present school system has also been made possible thru the aid of these sames ones who represent the various industries and professions and have been very willing to advise us in preparation for our life’s work. They deserve our praise in re- turn for this favor and our special thanks for their interest. In every great organization there exist behind the scenes those who toil ceaselessly, yet seek no reward. They are the bases of all results and success. They are the ones who deserve the laurels. It is thus in our school system and there- fore we wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion to you, the Board of Education for our past, present and future educational oppor- tunities. —DORIS DURFEE The Class of 1941 THE TOOT 7 CLASS HISTORY For the first time this year we realize that another semester is coming to an end. Does it seem possible that four years have elapsed since we first met in Mrs. Smith’s room on that rainy afternoon in Septembei-, 1937 ? Do you remember how new everything was in the line of electing officers? But we were triumphant and succeeded in selecting as president, Charles Borgognoni; vice pre- sident, Albert Deppoliti; secretary, LaVema Fox and treasurer, Doris Durfee. Perhaps you don’t remember that, but you couldn’t forget our initiation which was anything but ordinary. Our pi’esident lost his newly ac- quired dignity when donning an apron and carrying a doll thru our halls of learning. However, we survived, (didn’t we?) as we made our social debut later at a party on Hallowe’en. I’ve almost forgotten myself, but not quite, the dishes we broke then. However, we have fonder memories of our next event, a picnic held at Scot Noose Park which ter- minated our freshman year. Now that I think of it, our sophomore year started out with a bang, in fact, a back fire. For after we had elected Charles Boi-- gognoni as president, Holden Shumard as vice president, Betty Maine as treasurer and LaVerna Fox as secretary, we all attended a party in the high school, and don’t forget the upper classmen who crashed the gates. Well, all this was done during the process of tam- ing our preeminence, for you probably re- member how superior we felt to the fresh- men. We initiated the latter with much en- thusiasm and then we settled down again. I guess the proudest moment of that year was when we saw our class window, green and orange on the south side of the building. Well, another year ended, and we were rather sorry, weren’t we? I think maybe we had saved most of our vim and vigor (or should I be frank and say ambition?) for our junior year, when we attained great heights. Then in September we elected our officers as follows: president Charles Borgognoni; (this was by then get- ting to be a habit, wasn’t it?) vice president, Annie Morecroft; secretary, Doris Durfee and treasurer, Phyllis Woolsey. Somewhere along those two previous years we had procured, or perhaps grown, that necessary piece of equipment—a backbone. So—we were off. Our most daring attempt was the Junior Prom. Phyllis Woolsey was with us then, you know, and she was our chairman. We toiled on May 10, 1940 over the decorations which represented a ship. Yes, it was a great suc- cess and you looked lovely. Many of our Juniors made us proud that year for they were active in athletics, drama- tics and music. Finally came the junior-senior picnic, and we juniors acted as the pocketbook. Of course, we were heckled by our upper class- mates about the quality of the food, and you and I never could figure out why they ate so fast and so furiously, could we? However, it could never be said that we didn’t enjoy it, even though you did spend the day on the roller coaster and in the hot dog stand. It was indeed a great climax to a gi'eat year. Of course, we don’t have to think very hard to remember the first meeting of our senior year. You were there when we elect- ed as president, Charles Borgognoni again (you can’t really blame him—all the presi- dents were running overtime that year) vice president, Doris Durfee, secretary-treas- urer, Annie Morecroft. What a whirlwind of activities we’ve had since then! Our treasury prospered and then we made plans for the publication of the Toot, and our final fling, the Senior Ball. Yes, everything this year has gone well, and now for the first time we realize an- other semester is coming to an end. It doesn’t seem possible, does it? —DORIS DURFEE 8 THE TOOT THE FACULTY MR.

Two beautiful women are chatting together. Their faces are familiar and. .yes, it’s Betty Maine, the Hollywood star, and Frances Set- ticase who has just gone to New York from Clockville. Betty: My dear, it’s been simply ages since I’ve seen you. Do tell me what you’re doing in New York? Frances: Well, I told Don I simply had to have some new clothes, and since the farm is prospering this year, he told me to come to New York and order some clothes. I’ve discovered the most wonderful place to get clothes, .it’s Madame Lanzafami’s. Ruth Simmonds waited on me, and she said that Anna Laura Lake and Evelyn Uhlig are two of the best models Madame Lanzafami has. Then I dropped in to see Mayor Borgognoni; I don’t know how that man does it. .Mayor of New York, editor of the New York Times and the greatest tenor in the Metropolitan Opera. And they say he’s going to manage Roosevelt’s campaign for the presidency next fall. Betty: I talked to Frozie Lombardi, .you know she’s one of New York’s outstanding women lawyers, .and she said there was too much anti eighth-term sentiment for Roose- velt to possibly succeed. But tell me, have you seen my latest picture. You simply must. . . . it’s the best I’ve done yet. Mero and Shumard are producing it, and Annie Morecroft wrote the scenario. Tony Maula plays opposite to me. .he’s Hollywood’s latest find. Frances: And have you just come from Hollywood ? Betty: Yes, I felt I simply had to hear Mary Ellen Argersinger’s concert. Peter Lo- pitz has a wonderful job as her booking a- gent. .1 understand he even got Jack Cald- well, the famous radio engineer, to broad- cast her concert. Frances: One of the things I mustn’t fail to do is visit Frank Morano. He’s one of New York’s most successful bankers, .and the only handsome one. They say New York’s debutantes fall all over each other every time they see him. But tell me about your trip from the west. Betty: I met so many of our old class- mates that I’m just dying to tell you about. In the Middle West, I went past a thousand- acre farm that is owned by Robert Wilde and his partner John Dorris, and Katherine Dorris runs a tourist home near by. Then I ran up to Chicago to see Dr. Claude Stowell. Barbara Gleason, his laboratory technician, told me that Doris Durfee is the supervisor of nurses in Chicago’s largest hospital. She said too, that LaVerna Fox is employed as a commercial artist in Chicago. Jo Ponticello is the head of the language department of the University of Chicago, and Rita LeBlanc is one of her best French pro- fessors. Ruth DeVaul teaches Latin there. Frances: Did you stop at any of the Tornabene Restaurants? You know Rosina and Alfrieda started out as waitresses, and now they own a whole chain of restaurants. Margaret Haynes and Elizabeth Hood are two of their waitresses in Syracuse, and Flor- ence Brown is the cashier. I hear that Helen Ely has a job as secretary to Tony Giufre, who is being promoted to sales manager in General Motors. Louis Verno is the head of actuarial department of an insurance com- pany. Betty: And did you know that Donald Robison operates one of the most fashionable dude ranches in California? Carmella Rinan- do and Yola Tuller worked there for a while but they were both carried off into matri- mony by some Hollywood actors. I often meet Albert Deppoliti at Robison’s. He has a good job at the Mero and Shumard Stud- ios. Anna Fusillo is the secretary to Hamil- ton Mero and Betty Whipple works for Hoi- THE TOOT 19 den Shumard. I also met Phyllis Woolsey who is a matron of a California reform school. But tell me about Canastota. Are many of our old class-mates still there? Frances: Well, Joe Tornatore owns a five hundred acre muck farm and Tony Ep- polito is his night watchman and Mary Sgroi and Rose Perretta run the High Classe Beau- ty Shoppe there. Bud Hall now owns his own machine shop in Syracuse. Mike Buda and Frank Loguidice own a chain of theatres and Molly Licciardello is their secretary. Jenny Scab sells tickets which are more expensive than ever. But you must come down and visit me some time, and we can have a long talk about the good old days in C.

(Continued on Page 25) THE TOOT 21 JUNIOR CLASS According to custom, we began this school year by electing officers: President, Antonetta Lisi; Vice President, Arthur N. Ellis; Secretary, Virginia Krieke; Treasurer, Dutton Stearns. We led a rather uneventful existence from then until October, when a gala celebra- tion was held in honor of Hallowe’en, the commemoration of all saints and martyrs. This holiday is of very ancient origin, first having been celebrated by the old Romans in respect for Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. As we were minus fruit trees at the time of our festival, the juniors came forth with a rather unique substitute—a food booth, supplied with various types of food plus the main attraction of the evening, the doughnuts and cider! As we are on the whole somewhat of a studious class, we were content to abandon almost all social ideas until the outstanding event of the year took place—our “Junior Prom,” of which Arthur Ellis was general chairman. The theme of the decorations was “spring” with colors of blue and gold. It is reported to have been a great success. There will, of course be the annual Jun- ior and Senior Picnic to top off the commence- ment activities during the latter part of June. According to tradition this will take place at Owasco Lake. Our class has been a very happy and contented one after three such glorious years of high school, which could not have been possible without the willing and inspiring as- sistance of our two advisors, Miss Powers and Miss Heller. —SHIRLEY RUBIN Deppoliti: “I have killed your cat but I have come to replace it.” Old Lady: “Very well, but do you think you can catch mice?” THE TOOT 22 SOPHOMORE CLASS We, the Class of ’43 entered the high school in September 1939, as a new and pros- perous class. We were amazed and slightly afraid of seeing new faces and new teachers. After we became acquainted with everybody, we held our first class meeting with Mrs. Fudesco, our class advisor. The freshmen class officers were: President, Richard Perretta; Vice Presi- den, Michael DiNunzio; Secretary, Ruth Evans; Treasurer, Marie Lambo. On October 29, 1939, we held a Hal- lowe’en party in the high school gym. Games were played and refreshments were served and the party was a great success. In Janu- ary, 1940, we had a sleigh ride. In September, 1940, we came back as sophomores faced with a new and exciting year ahead of us. About the third week of school, we held our first meeting of the year. Our sophomore class officers were: President, David Hoyt; Vice President, Frank Mariano; Secretary, Mary Waldo; Treasurer, Carmela Aquino. At this meeting plans for initiation were made. We decided to have a black list and a party for the freshmen and sophomore classes at the close of the eventful week. At the Hallowe’en Festival the sopho- more class sponsored the management of a candy booth and Miss Virginia Foley, wear- ing the best looking costume walked off with the first prize. We had a party in December and another on April 19. The latter was a surprise birth- day party for our class advisor, Mrs. Fudes- co. Members of the faculty attended. There was dancing and refreshments were served. On April 21, our class window arrived. It was installed and unveiled at a ceremony the next day. When May 24 rolled around, we all took a bus to have a picnic at Suburban Park. This closed an eventful year for sophs who are eagerly looking forward to next semes- ter. —MARY WALDO THE TOOT 23 FRESHMAN CLASS Entering high school with ultimate suc- cess as our hope, we, the Class of ’44 quickly elected the following officers to guide us dur- ing our first year in Canastota High School President, Anthony Borgognoni; Vice Presi- dent, Vincent Albanese; Secretary, Josephine Farfaglia; Treasurer, Barton Morecroft. We profited greatly by the timely ad- vice given to us by Miss Mackey and Mr. Hedglon, our advisers. As must befall every freshman class, initiation hit us in October and the sopho- mores inflicted their wrath in full fury but after a week of “fun” we began planning for next year’s freshmen. We held our first social event in Febru- ary in the gymnasium in the form of a danc- ing party, which was attended even by the crashing upper classmen. We also progressed financially as dues were collected monthly. In mid-April we un- veiled our window. We closed our year with a picnic held at Green Lake on June 5th. We are very proud of the large number of freshmen who wrote their names on the athletic, dramatic and musical activities of Canastota High school. —ANTHONY BORGOGNONI Nancy: “My family can trace its an- cestors back to the days of William the Con- queror.” Dutton: “We think our family is old too, but unfortunately all our family records were lost in the flood.” Hotel Proprietor: “Do you want the por- ter to call you?” Jack: “No thanks, I awaken every mor- ning at seven.” Hotel Prop.: “Then would you mind calling the porter?” 24 THE TOOT GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls basketball squad was fortunate in having back several members of last year’s successful squad. Home and home games were played with Morrisville, Chit- tenango and Verona and of six games played 5 were won and one lost to Verona on their court by a score of 27-32. A great many girls were out which should mean more basketball for girls at C. H. S. Following is a list of those who partici- pated in games during season: Florence But- tino. Rose Mariano, Alice Lindley, Estella Russo, Florence Salamone, Clara Mae Harle, Nancy Greiner, Madeline and Mary Fratini, Lucy Licciardello, Jessie Moore, Audrey La- hah, Frances Aquino, Rosie and Josie Ippol- ito, Betty June Schmidt, Margaret Sgroi, An- toinette Eppolito, Santa Stagnitti, Theresa Albanese, Ruth Dygert, Molly Malvaso, Sarah DeMauro, Nona Severance. Girls’ Play Day Several play days have been held this year. Canastota girls started with a Volley- ball Play Day here with girls coming from Sherrill, Oneida, Morrisville and Cazenovia. After the games, dancing was held in the gym followed by dinner in the cafeteria. Canastota took part in a winter play day at Morrisville with skiing and toboganning in the morning. Lunch was followed by roller skating, basketball and dancing in the gym. They also attended a basketball play day at Sherrill with New Hartford, Canastota and Cazenovia participating. The Canastota girls were hosts to Morrisville, Cazenovia, Oneida and Sherrill on Tuesday, June 10th after school. There was softball and archery in back of the school. After the games the girls went by bus to Oneida Lake. The Oneida Community As- sociated Clubs graciously granted us the use of their park and beach at Lewis Point. After the swim a picnic lunch was served. —NANCY GREINER THE TOOT 25 GIRLS’ SPORTS Archery The girl’s archery squad started the 1941 season with three new stationary tar- gets. Now it is not necessary for us to carry them in and out every day and it enables the girls to shoot more often. The Board of Ed- ucation also purchased several new bows and several sets of arrows for the archers. This helped a great deal for there are many girls out for the sport. It has also attracted many members of the opposite sex. Summing up, it is an all-around favorite of everybody and “no sissy sport” as has been formerly thought. The. schedule for the year has been as follows: Play Day at Cazenovia, Morris- ville-Eaton Central school and the state archery meet at Liverpool. Some of the arch- ers were E. Uhlig, A. Lindley, M. Grilli, N. Greiner, D. Durfee and N. Severance. Baseball The girl’s baseball team started out the new season with a whole crew of new re- cruits. We have sets of batteries in the per- son of Florence Buttino and Santina Patane as pitchers and Mary Fratini and Jessie Moore as catchers. Other members of the squad are: M. Grilli, S. Miller, R. Ippolito, A. Lindley, F. Salamone N. Greiner, R. Mar- iano, N. Severance, B. Schmidt, F. Aquino and E. Russo. We anticipated another suc- cessful season to measure up to the victories of the last three years. Games were played with Sherrill, Oneida, Cazenovia, Morrisville, Verona and Munnsville. Field Hockey Despite the fact that there were not enough shin guards to go around and many girls suffered from scraped legs, the hockey team engaged in a most successful year. Home and home invitation games were play- ed with Sherrill, Cazenovia and New Hart- ford. Of six games played, five were won and one tied, that being to Cazenovia. The following girls participated in the games: A. Mason, R. Mariano, F. Buttino, M. Malvaso, T. Albanese, A. Lindley, F. Salamone, C. Harle, A. Eppolito, E. Russo, V. Cox. Par- ticipating in the intramural program were: E. Acker, B. Schmidt, J. Moore, R. Ippolito, J. Ippolito, V. Cesario, M. E. Argersinger, N. Greiner, A. Fusillo, J. Fusillo, N. Severance, S. Stagnitti, F. Aquino, S. DeMauro, V. Fo- ley, B. Sutton, M. Caldwell, A. Fusillo, M. Cunningham, L. Licciardello, M. Malvaso and S. Sorci. The team climaxed their successful sea- son with a party at Miss Heller’s home on the occasion of her birthday. Refreshments were served and entertainment was provided by Miss Heller’s moving pictures. —NANCY GREINER CLASS WILL (Continued from Page 20) To John Bogardus—a road map of Madison county so that in the future he won’t park in the fields.

Bill Sicilia passed and ran the Red’n’ White football warriors to their first victory over the Dun- canites since 1937. The outstanding play of the day was the fleet fullback’s interception of a pass on his own thirty yard line, dash- ing madly to pay dirt, seventy yards away. The following Saturday saw the Schmidt- men on the short end of a 6-0 score at Proc- tor High School, but rallied in great fashion in their next game when Cazenovia Central was swamped by a 32-6 score. It was the best game that the C. H. S. boys played all season. Whitesboro then came here to mar the only home performance of the team when they inflicted a decisive 31-19 victory stem- ming a fourth quarter rally of C. H. S. From there on, Canastota never regained its win- ning stride. At the annual Civic Club Banquet, Frank Morano was chosen the outstanding football warrior of the ’40 season and Bill Sicilia was elected Captain. The 1940 gridmen included S. Giufre, E. Marchetti, B. Buda, H. Wood, J. Mussachio, J. Tornabene, P. Ackerman, D. Phipps. A. Eppolito, E. Cretaro, B. Hamlin, V. Hall, F. Morano, W. Sicilia, E. Cretaro, R. Cronk and S. Ezzo. C. H.

Due to the increased defense work in the industrial department Mr. Silver Casabarra, was forced to resign his head coach position in mid-season and Wm. “Pinky” Schmidt took over the reins. Never before, as in this season, has the lack of material been so evident. Time and time again, due to injuries, reserve players were drafted into the varsity. The reserves, under the coaching of a former basketball star, “Dock” Giufre, won 7 of their 15 contests after a poor start. The ’41-42 season looks very bright for C. H. S. in the basketball world as the squad will not suffer greatly from losses of mem- bers due to graduation. The results of the games were: C. H. S. 17 19 C. H. S. 28 41 C. H. S. 27 C. H. S. 24 C. H.

They turned out to be good ball handling and hitting club. The C. H. S. nine included, catch- ers, Ernie Cretaro and Bob Hamlin; first base Harry Galovotti, Dewey Romagnoli at second base s. s. Frank Morano, Maula at third. Out- fielders were Vincent Albanese, Ed Cretaro, Joe and Tony Russitano. The pitching staff was exceptionally good with Eppolito and Calli doing most of the work and Tony Maula furnishing relief. Scores: C. H. S. 5 ......................Oneida 9 C. H.

Since the extinction of the league two years ago, scholastic boxing in these parts has suffered greatly as many of the league’s members dropped the sport from their ath- letic schedules. The first three matches of this season saw the pugilists go down in defeats which should have been victories because of the number of forfeited bouts. Coach William “Pinky” Schmidt also had to use inexperien- ced lads, who although “game,” could not compete against the experienced lads of the other schools. But as the season progressed, the squad increased greatly in membership as former boxing stars returned to don the gloves. Then matters took a different course. The squad swamped a former conqueror and went on to defeat another opponent. The matches and results were as follows. C. H. S. 4 . Oswego 5 C. H. S. 2.....................Oswego 9 C. H.

She says she is al- ways thinking of me.” John: “Why, a girl doesn’t think with her heart. The soft spot must be in her head.” 30 THE TOOT WRESTLING The wrestlers representing Canastota were: B. Mero, L. Sterling, D. Smith, 95 lbs.; T. Buda, 105 lbs.; V. Sterling, J. Tornatore, C. Tornatore, H. Hayden, F. Moore, 115 lbs.; J. Caldwell, 125 lbs.; C. Berry, J. Ackerman 135 lbs.; H. Wood, 145 lbs.; D. Phipps, 155 lbs.; G. Rankin, 165 lbs.; P. Ackerman, 175 lbs.; Louis Bruno visited the squad on two occasions. Tony Buda of the 105 lbs. class only lost one bout this past season. He achieved the fastest fall of the tournament, pinning his undefeated opponent in twenty-five seconds, to take second place. Donald Phipps and Joe Tornatore also took second place in same tournament which was held at Whitesboro. Donald Phipps and Charles Berry were elected co-captains of the squad. Scholastic wrestling matches are entirely unlike professional matches. Wrestling is a very good body developer and promises to become a leading sport. Charles Berry provided individual thrills and state wide gossip during the wrestling season, but is still alive and doing well. Coach Bill Ostrynski hopes there will be more men out for wrestling next year.

The organization is intended for the betterment of rural life thru both social and vocational means. Sixteen members compose the Canastota Chapter. Charles Berry was elected Presi- dent, Floyd Fisher, vice president, and Albert Deppoliti, Secretary and Treasurer. The group met monthly thruout the school year after holding a hot dog roast at Nichols Pond in September. A judging team and a delegate were sent to the Farm and Home week meeting at Ithaca in February. The boys who made the trip were: C. Berry, F. Fisher, R. Wilde, A. Deppoliti, G. Rankin, I. Cary, E. Marchetti, Ed. Cretaro, James Relyea. The chapter will also be represented at the State fair next August. This year the group is sponsoring a garden which will pro- vide the School Cafeteria with most of its vegetables. Onions will be grown also to help raise funds for the treasury. A picnic was held as the final meeting of the scholastic year. —A. DEPPOLITI Verno: “What do you mean by telling people I’m a first class idiot?” Maula: “Aw, you have me wrong, I didn’t say first class.” Frank Morano: (posing for photo), “What will these pictures cost me?” Photographer: “They’re $10.00 a doz- en.

H. S. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, Malcolm Sterling; Vice President, Robert Gleason; Sec.-Treas., Clara Mae Har- le succeeded by Barbara Gleason; Librarian, Nancy Panebianco. Disposing of minor de- tails Mr. and Mrs. Baritaud immediately made arrangements for us to go to Proctor High in Utica for the 2nd consecutive year. We made the trip on the 8th of December and earned 3rd place in the competition sing- ing “The Legend.’ Our next attempt for the season was the annual operetta in April. This year we pre- sented Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado” with gratifying results. In the operetta several new “Lauritz Melchoirs” and “Kirsten Flag- staads” made their debut along with the “veterans.” Fresh from this spring triumph, select voices from the choir were sent to Oneida to participate in the Madison County Music Festival where our group joined with others from different schools to become a mixed chorus under the direction of Mr. Woodworth of Harvard. Our next job was to be the back- bone of our Spring Concert on June 14. In this we sang “The Glory Train,” a spiritual by Noble Cain. Our last personal appearance was at Commencement where we sang “Bal- lad for Americans,” with Albert Deppoliti as soloist. We ended our social year with a pic- nic. —NANCY GREINER Evelyn: “Oh, Dad the girl next door has a hat exactly like mine.” Mr. Uhlig: “I suppose you will want an- other new one!” Evelyn: “That would be cheaper than moving.” Office Boy: “You told me to file those letters, sir?” Boss: “Yes.” Office Boy: “I was just thinking that it would be easier to trim them with shears.” THE TOOT 33 C. H.S. BAND 1941 has been an eventful year in so far as the history of the Canastota High school band is concerned. It has been during this past year that students and residents of the village have acclaimed the band with much enthusiasm. At the beginning of the year, new uni- forms for every member of the marching band were purchased, the trousers being ma- roon with a white stripe and the sweaters maroon with a large insignia on the front. The high-stepping majorettes were given en- sembles of maroon skirts and white sweaters. The band paraded at almost every foot- ball game, doing intricate maneuvers on the fields during the half. The band also marched in the Armistice Day parade here in Novem- ber. Frozie: “Well, my lovely young rival, I believe you are going to lose your prowess.” Anna Laura: “Sh-h-h. Not so loud. Give me a pin.” Since last fall, the band has dealt chiefly with classical and semi-classical music, giv- ing its first individual performance of the year with this kind of music at the annual spring concert held in our school. Many new instruments were purchased by the school this spring consisting of two sousaphones, two bassoons, a baritone, a bass clarinet, a piccolo, and a set of timpani. Needless to say, these instruments have add- ed greatly to the efficiency of the band. With the progress our band has made during the past year and the recognition it has won, there can be little doubt that this group is one of the most outstanding organ- izations of the school. ________ —ROBERT GLEASON Yola: “I hear your sister has a model husband.” Betty: “Yes, but he’s not a working mo- del. He’s just a blue print.” 34 THE TOOT K. E. SOCIETY Last September we had doubts about the coming fiscal year. In December our doubts were cleared when the Annual K. E. ball was the greatest success it had ever been. We elected new officers for the year in January as follows: President, Virginia Ely; Vice President, Concepta Zumbo; Recording secretary, Nancy Panebianco; Corresponding secretary, Nona Severance; Treasurer, Mary Waldo; Chaplain, Clara Mae Harle. Since January our attempts to earn money have been very successful. We have sponsored many food sales, candy sales, and three cent suppers. At one of the three cent suppers we entertained the faculty. With the exception of two or three, all of the meetings have taken place in the Home Economics room. Refreshments were always served. Annie: “What is the height of happi- ness?” Helen: “In my case he’s about 5 ft. 7.” In February we initiated new members at LaVerna Fox’s house. Everyone had a pleas- ant time. We contributed a little toward Charity this year; we intend to do much more next year. On May 29th the annual K. E. Banquet was held at Oneida Hotel with Mr. Bogardus as our guest speaker. Doris Durfee gave a speech representing the old members, and Nancy Panebianco gave a speech representing the new members. This banquet was also a great success. The K. E. girls believe that this past year has been their most successful. We hope that next year will have much more in store for us. —NANCY PANEBIANCO Father: (with pride) “Son what do you expect to be when you finish college?” Son: “An old man.” THE TOOT 35 THESPIANS The Thespians started off the new year with Hamilton Mero as president, Annie Wilde, vice president, Betty Maine secretary, Shirley Rubin, treasurer, and Frances Setti- case as news reporter. The first thing on the calendar was the annual three-act play on November 29, star- ring such newcomers as Richard Wood, Da- vid Hoyt, Stella Russo, Virginia Foley, Betty Sutton, Virginia Ely, Annie Wilde, Albert Deppoliti, Charles Borgognoni along with such oldsters as Doris Durfee, Robert Wilde, Shirley Sorci and Betty Maine. The next thing was initiation on Decem- ber 16, the new entrants being Stanley Sweet David Hoyt, Nancy Greiner, Charles Borgog- noni, Albert Deppolitti, Shirley Sorci, Nona Grocer: “These are the best eggs we’ve had for years.” Jennie: “Then give me some you haven’t had so long.” Severance, Virginia Ely, LaVerna Fox, Ruth DeVaud and Robert Mero who were put thru the ropes. The first of the new year passed and soon several Thespians were hard at work on the Music Department’s yearly operetta. Then tryouts for prize speaking and finally prize speaking itself with the following con- testants, Shirley Sorci, Mary Waldo, Nancy Panebianco, Betty Maine, Clifford Cramp, Ed- ward LeBlanc, Lewis James and Jack Cald- well of whom the winners were Betty Maine and Lewis James, 1st prizes and Shirley Sorci and Edward LeBlanc 2nd prizes. To end the year’s proceedings the Thes- pians enjoyed a picnic at Suburban Park on June 7. —NANCY GREINER Ruth: “My Mother has been nursing a grouch all week.” Florence: “I didn’t know your father had been sick.” Jfi THE TOOT CANASTOTA MONOGRAM CLUB The C. M. C. or Canastota Monogram Club, is a boy’s organization in C. H. S. formed for social purposes. The club has been in success- ful existence now for two years. At our first meeting of the year, we elec- ted the following officers: President, Donald Phipps; Vice President, Howard Wood; Sec- retary, Dick Wood; Treasurer Paul Bruno; Advisor, W. W. Ostrynski. Other members include Phil Ackerman, Louis Bruno, Dick Cronk, Dutton Stearns, Claude Patnode, Bob Gatto, Roger Gullerat, Joe Tornatore, Ed LeBlanc, Stanley Sweet. The rules which were set have been rig- idly followed. Each member pays ten cents in dues per week, plus twenty-five cents en- trance fee. A meeting is held every other Thursday at the home of an active member. The club enjoyed a hot dog roast on May 17, which was quite successful, with more than enough food. Everyone had a grand time. Now that the year has come to an end, we hope that the younger members who are not graduating will carry it on thru the years with even greater success than was achiev- ed this year. —DON PHIPPS Joe Tornatore: “Now there’s a general for you. One day you read about him in the Orient, the next day in Scandanavia and the next in all Europe.” Hamilton Mero: “To which general do you refer?” Joe Tornatore: “General Chaos.” Minister: “You should always let by- gones be bygones, my boy.” Robert W.: “Then why do they make us kids study history?” Doctor: “You have acute appendicitis!” Helen: “Oh Doctor, you flatter me.” THE TOOT 37 GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES TO EACH MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF 1941 from Andy, Frances, Irene, Alex, Jay, Ned, Ham and Louie T.

Remember that it is the business man whose standards your business training must qua- lify you to meet. Here are excerpts from a few of the many letters received from employers of Powelson Graduates: “Although few of your students whom we have employed had any previous experience, we found this to be no handicap.” “I think a good deal of credit is due to your institute for the efficient training you must have given Miss.”. We feel that your school is doing a Very fine job.” “Miss.....has received at your school a very capable and thorough ground work as an office employe.” “We take this opportunity of advising you of the satisfac- tory manner in which Miss......performs her work.” “She is a credit to your institution and a decided asset to our company.” Investigate the possibilities of Powelson t raining for YOU For information address Registrar POWELSON INSTITUTE 604-614 S.
