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.

THE TOOT Swing Band With the profusion of high hopes that ac- companies a new organization the Swing Band of C. H. S. began the year. After purchasing many new selections well-known in the field of popular music we rehearsed enthusiastically. Tryouts for vo- calists resulted in choosing Rose Musacchio, Peggy Spadter and Carmen Cerio. Very soon, under the able supervision of Miss Dominy, Mr. Waldo (absent minded professor) walked into the village barber shop, sat down in the chair and requested a hair cut. Barber: “Certainly, sir, would you mind taking off your ha ?” Mr. Waldo: “I’m sorry, I didn’t know there were ladies present.” the swing band was ready to make its debut in assembly. We previewed several numbers tc be featured at our dance which was both successful and profitable. So successful, in fact that the seniors hired us to play for their sport dance. At our final event of the year which was in May, besides some of the older favorites, a new group of arrangements was played. —LILLIAN RUBIN Mary Kay: Boo-hoo.
