I THE TOOT BOARD OF EDUCATION Joseph Waldo, President Dr. Richard Cut hbel t Mrs. Lucv Sullivan Donald Clarence With the presentation of this yearbook, the end arrives as it must in all good things of the program of activities of the Class of ’48. Almost from time immemorial students have been told: “Get a good fundamental ed- ucation. It is indispensable for success or achievement.” We feel that we are now en- dowed with this reward which stems from Shuler Keville the labors of learning a fundamental educa- tion. As we leave to take our place in the world of today, we will build our lives upon this very foundation, prepared under the guidance and assistance of the Board of Ed- ucation. Without the direction and help of this group in our school system, our success could not have been achieved. To them go our grateful thanks and appreciation. —Helen Moore THE TOOT 5 Superintendent of Schools Waller G. Clifford It has been our privilege this year to welcome Mr. Walter G. Clifford into the gov- erning body of our school system. The Class of 1948 takes this opportunity to wish him success in every endeavor, and hope that his affections for our Alma Mater will increase with every passing year. With regrets and appreciation we bid farewell to Mr. Glen F. Bogardus, our former supervisor, and send our hopes to him foi a pleasant future. TOOT STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Joyce Taylor.

Next as Sophomores we stood, Three more years to go. We studied hard, long after dark, The passing years seemed slow. As Juniors then we sat erect Time was closing in, As chemistry and languages Made thoughts a little grim. CLASS MOTTO “Labor vincit omnium CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER Yellow rose 8 THE TOOT EDITORIAL “I believe in the United States of Amer- ica as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed: a democracy in a republic, a sovereign na- tion of many sovereign states; a perfect un- ion, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I, there- fore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.” This is one’s American creed which sums up the things for which America stands and which have made Amer- ica great. It sets forth the duties of American citizens as well as their rights and privileges. Today, we, the Class of ’48, together with all the graduating classes of our nation are striving to uphold the ideals which form- ulate this American’s creed. This task is great, for now, more than ever, we, as repre- sentatives of a nation, are confronted with the problems of international peace. If we fail, the cause of free self-government thru- out the world will rock to its fundation. Therefore, our responsibility is heavy—to ourselves and to the generations yet unborn. We believe in the United States of Amer- ica because history shows us that our form of government has provided the greatest a- mount of liberty, together with the greatest amount of happiness, for the greatest num- ber of people. This is one of the most im- portant things that the American youth must remember in facing the future. It is the youth that must lend their voices in support- ing our democratic policies, for public opinion is the ultimate force of government. It is the expression of the mind and conscience of of the whole nation without respect to sec- tional or partisan alliances. It is the exercise of the will of the people for the protection of their rights and the preservation of demo- cratic government. Our government was established not for the rich man nor the poor man nor the mid- dle man but for all of us—you and me whe- ther we are Negroes, Jews or Poles. We all take part in it and can justly be proud of be- ing labeled Americans. Together we will be able to overcome the various isms which are invading the face of this earth. Through ed- ucation, understanding, and tolerance we can destroy distrust, dissatisfaction, and rebel- lion—the very elements which produce pre- judices and aggression. The hope of the future lies in bringing to- gether the efforts of men under a system of brotherhood. Those who are the most dan- gerous to everything we hold dear, are the ones who go about preaching distrust and division, and who would overthrow our unity in stirring up the hatred of one class against another. Let us show the peoples of the world that we uphold the ideals set before us in our democratic way of life. This can be exempli- fied by our own stars and stripes. Let us make its red a little deeper by justice, its blue more like the blue of heaven by truth, its whiteness even cleaner by purity of life, and its stars a little brighter by devotion to our highest principles. In this nation lies our dreams and our realities. They can be bright with cheer, bril- liant with courage, firm with faith because they have been made from the depths of hu- man hearts. Let us live and work so that our nation may be a living symbol forever, sup- pressing injustice and tyranny. Let us strive to be a shining example of righteousness in a troubled world—a country full of people made happy by goodness and love and faith in the future. —JOYCE TAYLOIt THE TOOT 9 FACULTY First row: Mrs. Kuth Brooks Miss Louise Powers, Miss Catherine Ryan, Miss Elizabeth Dominy, Miss Florence Furfaro, .Mrs. Wheeler Milnioe, Mrs. William Laurson, Mrs. Pember Newberry, Mrs. Frank Love, Miss Dorothy Parks, Miss Mabel Schroth, Miss Anna B.

Secretary to Superintendent 10 THE TOOT CLASS OF ’48 PASSES IN REVIEW Our first important step inside the por- tals of C. H. S. was the elections of class of- ficers. With the help of our advisors, Miss Mackey and Mrs. York, we chose Robert Capparelli as president, Mary Davis as vice- president, Mary Strano as treasurer and Joyce Taylor as secretary. Through initiation, the upper classmen formally introduced us to high school ways. The sophomores decided our artistic abilities called for another demonstration, so we be- came hosts at our first assembly, the first in a long line of entertainment. Then, on October 28th, 1944, we sponsored a Halloween party to raise our financial standing. All the class participated and the result was a tremendous success. By September of 1945 we had outgrown the lowly stage and were now upper class- men ourselves. Mrs. Laurson (then Miss Richardson) took over Mrs. York’s position as advisor. The class officers were; president, Gerald Relyea, vice president, Joyce Taylor, seci-etary, Shirley Jones and treasurer Neal Haynes. Our turn had come! During the first days of session we initiated the freshmen and a good time was had by all. We hope we were not judged too harshly. To get better acquainted with each other we held a Christmas party December 15, 1945 with an open dance in the gym following. Re- gardless of the sugar shortage, our sweet tooth was easily satisfied with the abundant cakes. The third year found us in the station of juniors. Now we were important individ- uals. To lead us at this turning point we chose Joyce Taylor as president, Neal Hayn- es as vice president, Mary Davis as secretary and Shirley Jones as treasurer. Our first dance of the year was held September 6, 1946. We were fortunate enough to secure the privilege of having the Halloween party on October 25, 1946. Besides swelling the treasury, it provided an enjoyable evening and a safe and sane Halloween for everyone concerned. Two important things occurred during our junior year. It was then that we first bought pencils to sell. We wish to thank everyone for patronizing our stock. Then, too, at the beginning of the second semester we ordered our class rings. No doubt all the students remember our Junior Prom—full of color and beauty. Bar- bara Simpson and Shirley Jones as co-chair- men directed the hard working classmen in making our “Carnival Circus” a success. To close our eventful year we honored the graduates with a Junior-Senior picnic. If the seniors enjoyed it as much as we enjoy- ed giving it, it certainly was well worth the time and effort. September of ’48 brought us within sight of our goal. Under the leadership of president Haynes, vice president Toole, secretary Moore and treasurer Jones the class sponsored sev- eral dances, including the Halloween party in October, which helped to fill out our treas- ury. On March 19th, 1948 we presented our last assembly for the student body. Our theme was “We’ll Give You Something to Remember Us By”, and we hope that’s what we did. With graduation in view we began plans for the Senior Ball and the “Toot”, our final undertaking. We would like to thank Miss Mackey for her guidance and counsel thruout our four years and Mrs. Laurson, for her co-operation in our activities during the two years that she was with us. —SHIRLEY JONES 12 THE TOOT CLASS HONORS JOYCE TAYLOR “TAYL” “In the midst of things” Sec.

See Jogo—half man and half snake.” Ah, here is Mimi, the beautiful lady, who looks into her crystal ball and tells us all we want to know about our future. We just can’t pass her by. Inside the little tent Mimi presses our hand and gazes soulfully into the magic ball. She tells us she sees a handsome man thumbing the pages of Dah-ymen’s League News. He’s in a school for farmers, but part- ly concealed on his desk is a well-thumbed Cornell catalogue. It is none other than Ron- nie Lamb. On the table beside him lies a let- ter ready to be mailed and is addressed to a fellow classmate, Fred Stokes. And now a beautiful lady with long eye- lashes we see passing out books to tall mid- shipmen—Shirley Farnam, as I live! Now, quickly, as Mimi rattled her brace- lets, the whole Class of 1948 passes before our eyes— Ziff Farfaglia blowing a trumpet with one hand and pulling a lady’s tooth with the other— Marilyn Conklin seated cosily in the White House— Bob Bromfield just stepping into his Cadillac to attend the first night of his pro- duction of “Arms and the Woman.” Lucille Bellinger taking the pulse of a pale but handsome boy definitely resembling J. P. Morgan, Jr.— Mary Lucarelli at the microphone, stir- ring her unseen audiences to tears with hill- billy songs on Grand Ole Oprey— Rachel Greiner, giving forth sweet vocal sounds as the brave cadets of West Point stand at attention— Pat Cox, seated in her studio in the Em- pire State Building, designing an atomic gown for Harper’s Bazaar — Neal Haynes, with cape about his shoul- ders and carrying a cane, crossing the camp- us at Vassar College— Muriel Kimpton, as manager, driving swiftly in an armored car from Canastota Hospital and unloading the sacks of money in the bank— Jeanne Timerman, in charming techni- color, just stepping off the gangplank of the Queen Mary; she has been studying feminine attire in Europe for the interests of Saks Fifth Avenue— Helen Moore, reading over her article for the New York Times, about to go to press.

H. S.’s bus fleet, the stu- dents rouse themselves and drag their person to the curb for delivery to the “labor grounds.” 8:45—A piercing buzz acts as the pistol shot in a race as our students, fresh and rested from a (full?) night’s sleep eagerly rush up the stairs to their respective home rooms. 9:00—First bell summoning pupils to class calls as George Allen rushes into Room 21 with a cheerful earful— “I’m here Miss Daniels!” A quick glance in Study Hall finds certain Seniors scrambling madly to catch up on the work that slept in their desks last night. 9:45—Half the Seniors trip lightly to Soc- ial Studies to face the task of drawing aside the “Iron Curtain” and reveal- ing what’s behind it to Miss Mackey. While Bobby Capparelli begs to dif- fer with Miss Mackey, across the hall the English students are hurriedly scribbling pruned-down, boiled down notes on the heroic deeds of the mur- derers of “Macbeth.” 10:30—Third period finds the Seniors dif- fused about the building, absorbing various subjects. Cheers resound thruout the whole school as “Deflec- tum Bonfire” scores another volley ball point in gym class. 11:45—The Seniors are again separated. While Miss Mackey’s Social Class is begging for a bonus question, Miss Cline’s class is sweating out the dif- ference between (ant) and (ent). 12:00—Mid-day and at the sound of the bell, the hungry rush from their respect- ive corners and follow their noses. Some head for the cafeteria to re- ceive their portions of the deadly K rations, while the more fortunate go home to eat. 12:30—The gym begins to fill with dancing couples while the boys watch from the balcony. 12:45—All dancing ceases and the more re- sponsible students climb the stairs to report. 1:00—The first afternoon period finds the Seniors in typing class pushing the keys instead of learning them. In health class Johnson and Stanton are studying figures (usually called body work.) 1 ;45—The usual number of Seniors are making their trips to and from the library. Everywhere evident is the fragrant aroma of rotten eggs drift- ing from the Chemistry lab. 2:30—Chem students rush from the lab and march happily to Study Hall. Reverberations inform the student body that Miss Parks is putting her “Amazons” through their paces. Screams float back in the wind as the driver’s training car pulls from the school yard. 3:13—Last bell and Mr. Wright stations himself at the study hall door, re- minding would-be-delinquents of im- pending band rehearsal. 3:15—Miss Daniels makes a few final at- tempts to restore order. Classes ex- cused, we leave a typical day at C. H. S., thus completing the final page in our high school scrapbook of fun and frolic. —RONNIE LAMB and ANTHONY FARFAGLIA '‘PAT 28 THE TOOT JUNIOR CLASS First row: left to right—I- Palmer, V. Fratini, G.

The Class of ’49 entered their third year with the election of the following officers: president, Gerry Cox; vice-president Shibley Pixley; secretary, Nancy Burke; treasurer Donald Clark. We sponsored three successful dances thruout the year along with several activities at the annual Halloween Party. When our class rings arrived in Novem- ber, after two months of impatient waiting, they were greeted with oh’s and ah’s from the entire student body. Many inquisitive glances were given to the “Seventeens” that we carried as we par- aded the halls weeks before the final produc- tion of “Belle” on March 5th. We hope that the students enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed putting it on. April 2nd gave us our biggest event of the year, the Junior Prom. Freddie Vare’s or- chestra was engaged to provide the music. Green and yellow were the colors chosen to go with the theme “April Showers.” We are all still reminded of the fun we had on our picnic which we sponsored for the seniors last spring. We join in thanking Miss Daniels and Mr. Rynders for their patience and able as- sistance thruout the year. —NANCY BURKE THE TOOT 29 SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row: left to right—J. Keville, T.

S. in ’47 we took great pleasure in initiating the freshmen. This went on for three days with lots of fun for both freshmen and sophomores. At our first meeting we elected our class officers as follows: president, Sally An- drews; vice president, Joyce Timerman, sec- retary, Darrell Conley; treasurer, Concetta Finocchiaro. In October we put on a dance and had another planned for March but gladly gave up our time to the W. A. A. We sponsored a sport dance late in May. In January the freshmen gave us a de- lightful party which everyone enjoyed. We plan to return their kindness before the Sophomore year is ended. We wish to thank Miss Powers and Miss Schroth for their helpful advice thruout the year. —DARRELL CONLEY ❖ Don’t worry if your job is small and your rewards are few, Remember that the mighty oak was once a nut like you. i'.i sje � Jc $ Mr. Rynders: What is a one cell animal?

The Freshman Class started off with a bang, electing as its officers: Don Pexton, president; Fred Shuler, vice president; Ema- line Evans, secretary; Gene Knox, treasurer. After reveling in initiation, we present- ed the first assembly of the year with a Kit- chen Band, Girls Chorus and a fashion show which brought the “new look” to the front of our minds and caused a great deal of laughter. We began to swell our treasury by hold- ing a dance which netted a good profit, and by selling candy at the Senior Halloween party. Our next undertaking, as a class, was putting up the Xmas tree in the auditorium. Our boys spent an enjoyable day at Fisher’s farm cutting down our tree, but the class spent a less enjoyable time trying to get the tree lights to work. The finished product, however, was beautiful. In January we gave a party for our re- spected elders, the wise old Sophomores, and a grand time was had by all. We would like to thank our advisors Miss Furfaro and Mrs. Brooks for their as- sistance in our first successful year. —EMALINE EVANS 1. Junior metric figures; 2. Fred and Jake’s gang; 3.

The Dramatic Club started this year’s activities by electing the following officers: President, Robert Bromfield; Vice President Nancy Burke; Secretary, Ann Fisher; and Treasurer, Mary Davis. In October, 19 new members were init- iated into our club. In November we attend- ed the stage play in Oneida, “Kiss and Tell”. In December the club presented a three-act play, “Spooks and Spasms” ..which was the main project for the year. A sleigh ride was planned for January but resulted in a sled party on Tuttle Ave. Afterwards refresh- ments were served at the high school. Spring ushered in prize speaking with several members participating. This is the first attempt at prize speaking competition in several years and it is hoped that it will be successful enough to become an annual Dramatic Club function. The members of the Dramatic Club wish to express their thanks to Mrs. Courtney for her helpful guidance thruout the year. —ANN FISHER $ sjc Will came up to the lab.

The two main activities of the year were the attendance of “Junior Miss” at Oneida in December and “The Glass Menagerie” in February at Syracuse. In May a formal initiation was held in which ten members were taken in by the so- ciety after being credited for the necessary points attained by participation in the pro- duction of a play. Our sincere appreciation goes to Mrs. Courtney for her helpful guidance thruout the year. —MARY DAVIS So You Finally Graduated Did you use blackmail or forgery or threaten the principal’s life?

Miss Katherine Ryan, the new school librarian, organized a Library Club for those students interested in this work. The first meeting was held October 29, 1947, during which the following officers were elected: President, Shirley Farnam; Vice President, Robert Bromfield; Treasurer, Phyllis Aquino and Secretary Jack Dawley. The club’s first activity was a Christ- mas party held in the library, Wednesday before vacation. We were hosts to the Mor- risville-Eaton Library Club March 16, and were their guests the following month. We also took a trip to “The Syracuse News Com- pany” and the “Mutual Library Bindery.” For our last activity we sponsored a dance in the high school gymnasium. The members wish to thank Miss Ryan for her endless support and guidance thru- out this past year. —JACK DAWLEY ❖ Jje Miss Powers: Give me the principal parts of the verb, to eat.

The band played and marched at all the home football games. Also we played at the basketball games with our twirlers perform- ing. In November 10 members of the band were chosen to participate at the Select Con- cert in Oneida. On May 28, the band presented its an- nual spring concert playing “Tumbling Tum- ble Weeds”, “Crusaders”, “Grieg” and “Be- gin the Beguine.” These were also played at a Spring Festival June 5. The final appear- ance of the band will be at graduation where they will play the processional and reces- sional.

We all enjoyed the experience of augmenting that group in THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC and DRY BONES. Sixteen delegates represented Canasto- ta in the Madison County Select Chorus of 120 at Oneida, where the program included MUSIC OF LIFE, HOLIDAY SONG and ADORAMUS TE. At Christmas time we were joined by the alumni in singing the MESSIAH and gained much inspiration from this growing Christmas tradition. The second semester the chorus was re- organized as separate boys’ and girls’ en- sembles, composed of students who success- fully passed the try-outs. Each group worked hard preparing for the spring concert and County Music Festival, for which Canastota was host this year. Officers of the Girls’ En- semble were: Susie Vella, President; Sally Andrews, Secretary; Phyllis Aquino, and Ann Fisher, Librarians; Mary Davis, Student Conductor. Rachel Greiner represented our school in the All-State Choir at the Music Directors’ Clinic in Syracuse in December. Rachel, Mary Davis and Joyce Tayor, our famed trio, made many appearances in school and community programs during the year. The members of the chorus wish to ex- tend their sincere thanks to Miss Burgett for her untiring efforts to make our organ- ization a success. —SALLY ANDREWS THE TOOT 37 PHOTO CLUB First row: left to right—B. Miller, G. Knox, A. Patane, Mr. Uynders, E. Fisher, I. Wright, S. Laguzza. Second row: R. Fisher, S. Pixley, M. Masucci, G. Cox. Under the capable leadership of our President, Sara Laguzza; Vice President, Mike Masucci; Secretary, Shibley Pixley and Treasurer Gerry Cox, our second year as a club was very successful. Although our mem- bership of twelve is small, compared with other organizations, it has carried on many activities. Thru the co-operation of Andy Adams, the club was able to purchase a fine Omega enlarger last fall. Later in the year we were able to invest in a 35 mm. Kodak camera. Our share of the money for the many pur- chases thruout the year came largely from our sales of refreshments at the football games, and the sale of pictures. We also wish to thank Mr. Sharpe and his agricultural class for constructing the show case for the Club’s finished prints. The greatest ambition of most of the members is to enter the National High School Photo Contest this year and, with the help of our competent advisor Mr. Rynders, cap- ture one of the 361 awards available. —SHIBLEY PIXLEY ❖ 9:« Moe: She certainly is a magnetic person.

This was published bi-monthly until mid-January. Since then, there has been no publication. This has been due to the lack of articles turn- ed in to the editor. .Our treasury surplus was increased by having several food sales and dances. Our last dance was in co-operation with the W A. A.

Rho Chapter of Kappa Epsilon began its year with the following officers: President, Jeanne Timerman; Vice President Mary Da- vis; Recording Secretary, Lucille Bellinger; Corresponding Secretary, Shirley Wollaber; Treasurer, Shirley Farnam; and Chaplain, Jean Dolci. Things began to get under way with a formal initiation of 18 new members, follow- ed by a party in the gym. In November, seven girls attended the K. E. Convention in Rochester, our president and Joyce Tayor served as our delegation, all reported having a very nice time. The annual K. E. Ball was held on De- cember 26, which turned out to be very suc- cessful. Rachel Greiner was chairman and Helen Moore, co-chairman. Music was fur- nished by Tony Roger’s Club Royale Orches- tra and the theme was “What are you doing New Year’s Eve”? During the year we donated $10 to our K. E. Book, “The Blue and Gold”, and Nancy Burke was chosen as our representative. A K. E. banquet was held in May, fol- lowed by a formal dance at the high school. We all wish to express our sincere grat- itude and thanks to Miss Furfaro, our advis- or, for her faithful guidance and the time which she has devoted to us. —SHIRLEY WOLLABER 40 THE TOOT CHEERLEADERS We started the 1947 football season off with the following cheerleaders: Josephine Rinaldo, Gloria Wright. Beverly Costanzo, Jetta Vecchio and Virginia Fratini, cheer- master. We had an active season, attending all the home games and the out-of-town games. New uniforms were purchased by the varsity cheerleaders during basketball sea- son. We had an eventful basketball season, attending a majority of the home and out- of-town games. During the basketball season, new jun- ior varsity cheerleaders were elected. The new members are Freida Strano, Leona Shu- ler, Peggy Loguidice, Pat Laguzza and Ka- therine Brown. We held meetings twice a week thruout the year, and we sponsored two dances, both of which proved very successful. —BEVERLY COSTANZO « One of our teachers wrote “Please Wash” on the blackboard, so the janitor turned up clean the next morning.

We held our first meeting Dec. 18. Officers were elected and we planned to hold a dance with the Press Club on February 7. The theme was “A Country Fair”. Following this dance, the W. A. A. was temporarily discontinued. We re-organized in March with a ma- jority of freshmen and sophomores, who e- lected the following officers: President Mur- iel Kimpton; Vice President, Santina Rapas- adi; Secretary, Mary Jean Sicilia; Corres- ponding Secretary, Jetta Vecchio; Treas- urer, Florence Rinaldo; and Asst. Treasur- er, Pat Laguzza. The five other members are Marie Capparelii, Jenny Buttino, Jenny Bo- naventura, Katherine Brown and Shirley Corona. We hope the W. A. A. will be active next year and continue thruout the years, making sports something to be enjoyed by every C. H. S. girl. The members wish to thank Miss Parks for her assistance during the past year. —MURIEL KIMPTON $ Miss Daniels: Give the most important fact about nitrates.

S. turned out to be the best team that Coach “Pinky” Schmidt has ever had thru- out his coaching: years. The team got off to a slow start by de- feating the Oneidans by a score of 9-6. After this, the Raiders moved easily, defeating Lowville 20-7. On the next Saturday they met a very powerful Whitesboro team. Al- though the teams were equally matched, Can- astota proved that it was the better by de- feating the opponents 6-0. Following the Whitesboro game, Canastota crushed Caze- novia 26-7, Clinton 33-7 and Carthage 34-0. In the final game of the season, we met our traditional rival Oneida, for a second time and our boys really gave their all, pulverizing Oneida 32-0. All these victories are partly due to our wonderful coaching staff, William Schmidt, head coach and his assistants Bill Sharpe, George Rynders and Jerry Courtney. The team was composed of Buster Schmidt, Dick Tornatore, Sonny Tornatore, “Little Joe” Spadter, Frank Vecchio, Mike Milmoe, Don Clark, Vincent Digasperi, Leon- ard Pankhurst, “Big Joe” Spadter, Don Cer- io, Bob Borgognoni, Vito Fusillo. Gerry Cox, Doug Chapman, Mike Masucci, Mike Buttino, Roger Edkin, “Red” Keville, Gene Fratini, Bob Capparelli and Fred Tucci. At our annual banquet given by the Civ- ic Club, Big Joe Spadter was awarded the Varsity C Trophy for the most improved player. Another banquet was given us by the Side Line Quarter Backs at a restaurant in Utica where we were awarded a trophy for having an undefeated season. Gold footballs were also awarded every player on the first two teams and to our assistant coaches, Bill Sharpe and George Rynders. This football season served as an ex- ample of the competitive spirit and sport- manship of C. H. S. This spirit is typical of all the youth of Amerca. It is a strong char- acteristic in the development of citizenship and patriotism, not only for the local com- munity, but also for the nation. In fall, the dull thud of leather against pigskin resounds as a football soars up into the blue on its way toward the opponent. In winter the thumping of a basketball is heard on the gym floor as it is dribbled in for a lay up. Spring brings the solid crack of a bat as it speeds the ball on its way over the head of the infielder to the outfielder either to be caught, or dropped over the fence for a home run. This is Americanism—standing for the high ideals which sports aid in developing. Many students have left C. H. S. with wide experience in various phases of sports. This year many others will join the ranks in sharing newly gained laurels. These were achieved not only thru our undefeated foot- ball team, but also thru the display of ability in other fields of high school sport. Not re- stricted to the boys, however, our girls also did their part in gaining renown for our alma mater. May C. H. S. always be remembered for her clean competitive spirit and suprem- acy in sports afield. —LEONARD PANKHURST and RALPH BALDUCCI if! OUR UNDEFEATED RECORD C. H. S. 9 .....................Oneida 6 C.

S. witnessed one of the best basketball seasons in years, and Coach Schmidt’s basketeers closed this 1948 court sport with nine victories and five losses, placing Canastota third in the Tri- Valley League. The team was comprised of six varsity men from the previous year plus five from the j unior varsity. Carmen Barres, Louis Ez- zo, Gene Fratini, Mike Milmoe and Bob Bor- gognoni were the first team line-men. Mak- ing up the second team was Anthony Far- faglia, Don Clark, Robert Capparelli, Joe Verro and Dick Johnson. In December the team received new suits and finished the season in a manner fitting the gleaming new maroon and white outfits. The game that highlighted the ’47-’48 basketball season was with Cazenovia before a capacity crowd. In the very last minutes of the game the Canastota boys pulled ahead defeating the “Corn Huskers” by a one point margin. This was the deciding game which placed Canastota third in the League. With the exception of Farfaglia, Cap- parelli, Johnson and Borgognoni, the same team will return next season to capture the basketball laurels for C. H. S. We wish them all the best of luck. —RICHARD JOHNSON « $ (Season’s Record on Page 45) It THE TOOT BASEBALL First Row: left to right—P. Harney, G. Cox, G. Fratini, R. Cappnrelli, A. Aquino. Second row: C. Barres, J. Bonaventura, R. Borgcgnoni, Coach Schmidt, M. Milmoe, G. Knox, F. Shuler. L. Ezzo. The 1948 baseball team of Canastota High School, coached by William “Pinky” Schmidt, has thus far enjoyed one of its best seasons in several years by winning 7 games while dropping 3 with three more games yet to play as this is written. The highlight of the season was a 3-2 win over league-leading Clinton. One main reason for the team’s success is due to the fine pitching of Gene Fratini, who is regarded as one of the best high school pitchers in this area. He had the back- ing of six veterans from the 1947 team. Most of the players hit and fielded well, the principal weakness being the lack of relief pitching. Borgognoni and Milmoe shared mound duties when postponed games due to inclement weather made it impossible for Fratini to pitch all games. The Canastota nine was a member of the Tri-Valley League again this year, along with Clinton, Oneida, Sherrill, Cazenovia, Hamil- ton and Waterville. Coach Schmidt’s usual starting lineup consisted of Barres, Borgognoni, Capparelli, Fratini, Milmoe, Ezzo and Cox with Verro Aquino, Shuler or Harney filling in the other two positions. The score of games played so far are as follows: (Continued on Page 45) THE TOOT 45 CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Page 20) carrying a tray of Coca-Cola and Leona Di- toma is about to be kissed by a wonderful man who is sighing, “You’re lovelier.” Gooch Pankhurst, patiently seated on the second floor of Addis’s, waiting for his be- loved Audrey to come out of the dressing room.
