THE TOOT 2y Glee Club Director ........Miss Elizabeth Dominy Accompanist ..........Norman Johnson President ...........Barton Morecroft Vice-President .......Dorothy Preston Secretary .................Pat Milmoe ............{w»y The High School Glee Club began the school term with a new teacher. Miss Eliza- beth Dominy, formerly of Canton. Our first act was to elect our officers. Rehearsals began with 23 old members and seven new members. In November the chorus sang Thanksgiving hymns in assembly. Visitor: “My, what a lot of freckles you have Donald.” On December 22 we presented “Why The Chimes Rang , an old Christmas story which has been adapted into a play. Robert Pexton, Joseph Fisher, Richard Clark and Audrey Lamb took the leading parts and the chorus was represented as a cathedral choir. We have rehearsed and met regularly since Christmas. However, due to the new school hours it was too difficult to present our Annual Spring Concert. To finish our year we are going to sing the Mozart Gloria” and a Bach choral “Now Let Heaven and Earth Adore Thee”, at graduation. —PAT MILMOE Donald: “They ain’t freckles. That’s my iron constitution going rusty.”

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.”

THE TOOT .10 Football Although the record of victory and losses does not speak too highly of the Canastota High School football players, the beys are to be complimented for their fine showings in lazing cloze contests that befell the squad. Never before, as in this season, has the lick of material been so evident. Many boys who had never played football came out for the sport and were given chances to play. Due to last year’s graduation we lost six ex- perienced varsity players. Playing a schedule of four games, the Red Raiders emerged with one victory. Our first game of the season was with Oneida, our tra- ditional rival. The Canastota rooters were disappointed when the home team bowed to the heavy and more experienced Oneida team 8-7 after a thrilling battle on the Roberts St. field. Tne next week our eleven proved their a- bility to play smart and tough football by dc- dcfcating Cazenovia 14-7. The most exciting game of the scacon was the last which was played at Oneida with our rival Oncidans. Beth teams played hard and exciting football for most of the game, then a few minutes before the end. the orange and blue of Oneida threw a touchdown pass which won the game. At the annual Civic Club banquet. Carmen Cerio was chosen the most improved football player of the season and Dewey Romagnoli was elected Captain. C. H. S. 7..................... Oneida 8 C. H.
