Lis for Audrey, Vinny and Lizzio, Good sports they are—that I know and you know, Also for Natalie, Bob and Rose Lumbrazo, too, Their gains are many, their losses are few. Mis for Angelo, Harmon and Martha so fair, They sailed through their four years with never a care. Also for J. Musso and our sailor boy Bill, I doubt if there’s any one his shoes he could fill. Nis for nothing of which we know much, I’m afraid I’ll admit we’re not a bright bunch. is for the owl wise and large-eyed— (J A trait which the faculty claims we’ve all been denied. Pis for Nancy, Barbara and Freddie, Successful one day we know they will De. Also for Peters and Guy Ponticello They said they’d graduate—we know they will do so. Qis for quizzes in each and every class, We tried and tried but never did pass. Ris for Jean, Fern, Richard and Relyea’s four, They’re all lots of fun-never a bore. Sis for Seabrook, Seitz and Johnny Smith Whose lives shall be of happiness, the very pith; Also for short Santa and shorter Shirley, Some day we hope they’ll be 5 foot 3”. Tis for Tornabene and also Carmen Tornatore For whom troubles of school life soon will be present no more. Uis for the unity every class should possess After several long years in old C. H. S. Vis for Victory in which we had strength, Our football team knew that and won games no length. Wis for Waldo and Wilkinson too, Their success shall be great, their troubles, few. Xis for the x-ams at the end of the year That the Senior class passes with many a tear. Yis for the years so laboriously spent Poring over books with our heads low bent. Zis for Connie, last but not least, On the food of her thought we’d surely have a feast. —NANCY GREINER

10 THE TOOT Class Will We, the class of 1943 of Canastota High School, being of sound mind and body (once in a while) have decided that we should part with some of our fond possessions. We be- queath the following: To the Army and Navy—We leave the fel- lows. To the Freshmen of Room 16—The banner (they have it anyway). To Roger Barott—Five traps to be set in C. H. S. for wolves (instead of skunks). To Eugene Simpson—A pass on the New York Central between Canastota and Syracuse. To Mr. McLean—Our deepest gratitude for his patience during third and fifth per- iod study halls. To Peggie’s capable hands—Nancy Panebi- anco leaves her achievements in K. E. To Miss Penna—Chains to fasten the Amer- ican History books to the library shelves. To Some group of bus pupils—We gratefully leave the “cheese-box” and Poke. To Joanne Fusillo—Hospital insurance. To the Faculty—More gum chewers. To Jack Petrie—David Hoyt leaves his danc- ing technique. To The pupils—A secret underground to Wampsville ( in case of another trial). To Jessie Moore—Gertrude Seitz leaves some of her quiet characteristics. To Ruth Barrett—Some of Connie’s carefree ways. To Buster Schmidt—John B., leaves his way with the women. To The Glee Club—Grand times like the ones we’ve had preparing for operettas. To Any class which can qualify—A valedic- torian and salutatorian like ours. To Antone—A girl to calm him down (like Ann Y.) To The Juniors—More driver’s licenses. To History C Students—Someone like Car- mie to crack jokes when a “little test” (also the ball) is just around the corner. To Miss Powers—Fewer 100’s in her Latin classes. To Marjorie Cordell—Jean Ray gladly leaves a few inches of her height. To Katie Buda—Ginny leaves her way of luring unsuspecting males. To Norman Johnson—Bob Gleason leaves his ability in tickling the ivories. To Miss Moses—A place in our hearts as another grand music teacher. To Shirley Tuttle—Nancy Greiner leaves her ability to hear the latest moron jokes. To Larry Waldo—Seven study halls a day, five days a week. To Harold Spencer—Floyd Fisher leaves one (and only one) of his pretty girls who have made his desk one of the most in- teresting in the study hall. To Everyone—Decent school hours (say from 2:30 - 3:30. To Mrs. Fudesco—A box of Aspirin tablets for the headaches that the class of ’43 have given her for the last four years. To The Juniors—We leave our seats in study hall and also our books. We, the undersigned on this twenty-second day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-three, duly proclaim this to be our Last Will and Testament. SENIOR CLASS OF ’43 —M. MAXWELL Mary Waldo was driving along a country road when she spied a couple of repairmen climbing telephone poles. “Fools,” she ex- claimed to her companion, “they must think I never drove a car before.” DiGaspari: “Did he call you a blockhead?” Carmen: “No, he said, ‘pull your cap down the woodpeckers are coming’.”
