2« THE TOOT Freshman Class Upon entering high school in September we. the Class of '47 immediately elected our class officers to guide us in our freshman year. The following officers were elected: President. Mary Tornabene; Vice-president, Richard Tornatore; Treasurer. Eugene Pe- trie; Secretary. Mary Guifre. Initiation began the third week of school and continued over a period of three days. When those eventful days were over we had a party at which the Sophomores were our guests. There was dancing, games and re- freshment. To keep financially fit, dues were collect- ed monthly. In March our class window was put yp with the others, a sight every fresh- man was thrilled to see. Later in the year we had two dances which were very successful. We profited greatly by the advice given us by Mrs. Fudesco and Miss Furfaro, our class advisors. —MARY Gl'IFRE During an examination.

28 THE TOOT C. H. S. Band Because of the lack of transportation, the band didn’t participate in many affairs out- side of Canastota this year. Under the skill- ful leadership of Miss Elizabeth Dominy, however, we were kept quite busy taking part in many local affairs. We marched at as many football games as possible and at most of the home basket- ball games. The band also provided music for the American Legion when they paid tribute to the gold star mothers of Canas- tota. A concert was put on by the band in March and we are planning to play at the annual spring concert and at commence- ment. —MARGARET FISHER Mrs. Smitn: “What are the properties of heat?” Aquino: Properties of heat are that heat expands bodies, while cold contracts them. Mrs. Smith: “Can you give an example?” Aquino: “In summer, when it is hot, the day is long, in winter when it gets cold, it gets very short.” Professor: “Robert Burns wrote “To a !• ieldmouse’.” Voice (from rear of room): “Did he get an answer?” Stevens: “Oh, oh! Do I fell terrible!” Preston: “You can’t be out all night and not be all in the next day.”
