At the same meeting, blue and gold were selected as our class colors. During the week of September 18th we were initiated by the sophomores. Ending up that week, we put on an assembly pro- gram under the direction of our class presi- dent. In October the class of ‘48 sponsored a Hallowee’en party. With the funds received from this occasion, we plan to purchase our class window. We all wish to thank Miss Mackey and Mrs. York for their faithful guidance thru this eventful year. —JOYCE TAYLOR

We, the class of ’47, entered our second year of high school under the leadership of the following officers: president, Robert Bor- gognoni; vice president, Richard Tornatore; secretary, Lucy Maula; treasurer, Betty Miles, who were elected at our first meeting. At this meeting plans for initiation were taken up and a committee was chosen to have charge of initiation and the black list. Initiation lasted for three days in which the sophomores felt like masters, and the fresh- men like servants. But, all in all, everyone had a positively super time. Later on we held two very successful danc- es. Our second dance, the V-E Dance held on May 11th was one of the nicest dances out- side of a formal, that has been presented at the school this year. The Time Wasters play- ed for us. We also took part in the entertain- ment program for the Freshman Hallowe’en party, in which all the classes participated. Our class has been a very happy and con- tented one after two years of high school, which could not have been possible without the willing and inspiring assistance of our two class advisors, Mrs. Fudesco and Miss Furfaro. —LUCY MAULA

THE TOOT FOOTBALL Front row, left to right: F. Palombi. D. Clark. S. Danes!. J. Cerio. C. Barott, C. Cerio. D. Conley. Second row: T. DiGaspari, N. Fratini, R. Prosser. J. Romagnoli, S. Tornatore. The annual call for football men was issued by Coach Schmidt at the opening of the school term. About thirty-five men, most of whom were inexperienced, reported for drill. Lack of material and inexperienced men for both backfield and line positions caused CHS’s football record to reach its lowest ebb in our history. We had a schedule of six games. We were able to secure a tie with Hamilton, but lost to the Whitesboro, Fulton, Clinton and Onei- da teams. Although the team did not make as good a showing as other former teams, any of our rivals can say the team gave them hard op- position. At the annual banquet sponsored by the Civic Club, Anthony DiGaspari was awarded the Varsity C award for the most improved player of the season and was also chosen cap- tain of the team.
