The name TOOT was given because its purpose was, “to blow the horn of greater school activity in Canastota.” We hope we have achieved this goal with the 1958 TOOT. — ANN MARIE PATANE edLcatia i The Class of 1358 dedicates this TOOT to our guidance counselor, George T. Silknetter. In two years at Canastota High School, he has given us the guidance and counseling to prepare us for future schooling or employment. His knowl- edge, reassurance, wit and wisdom have helped to inspire us to desire higher achievements for ourselves. In this way, our school days have become a great source of pride for us all. page three CfdUo licd We, the people of America, have been endowed with a great privilege — that of free education. This helps keep our nation strong and unified. As far as education is concerned, we all have an equal chance to become wiser individuals through the ac- quisition of knowledge. We have every op- portunity to better ourselves and our coun- try. From the time he enters school, the Amer- ican student receives many privileges. School- ing today is made much easier and more en- joyable for the student. Since 1950, great strides have been taken in regard to educa- tion and educational facilities. Elementary and secondary schools have, due to popula- tion, mushroomed all across the United States. With modern classrooms, scientifical- ly planned, schooling is made more enjoyable for the student. Modern facilities and equip- ment are at the student’s disposal. Highly qualified teachers, with special training in one subject, guide the student in his educa- tional progress. Transportation in clean and modern vehicles, with trained personnel op- erating them, is also available. In secondary education, the student can choose from a variety of subjects that can prepare him for later life. Guidance counselors, relatively un- known a few years ago, are trained today to assist and direct the student in his choice of subject matter. page four The student has, as you can see, many ad- vantages and privileges that were not en- joyed by students in by-gone years. With these privileges, however, goes a new res- ponsibility. The fate of our nation rests upon the rea- lization of every student that the opportun- ity and responsibility are his and he must accept them. The center and stability of our nation rest with the educational system of today and its products of tomorrow. When the student fails to comprehend this, our nation will be in great jeopardy. As this country advances farther into the Space Age in competition with the Communists, it will require all the knowledge and vitality that can be provided by the off-spring of today’s educational system. Today the student is failing to realize his duty. Surveys show that of all students who enter secondary schools, only half of them graduate. This is alarming, because the des- tiny of the free world depends on the ed- ucated person who is able to understand the falseness of the Communistic doctrine. The sooner the student of today realizes that along with all the privileges he enjoys, there are responsibilities which he must ful- fill, then and only then will he be doing his duty as a member of our democracy. — PETER EATON RaanA of ducatia+i Left to right: Mrs. Jane Fudesco, Mr. Bernard Fisher, Mr. James Svolos, Mr. Donald Shuler, Mrs. Mar- garet Tackabury, Mrs. June Lfford, Mr. Joseph De.Mauro, Mr. Michael Powers, Mr. John Robertson, Mr. Joseph Waldo. The Class of 1958 takes this opportunity to give recognition to our Board of Education. In recent years, membership on the Board has become a time-consum- ing task, since our school has become — financially speaking — one of Canastota’s largest businesses. Budgeting, building programs, teacher shortages and many other problems have necessitated frequent and lengthy Board meetings. For all of this work, the members of the Board receive no compensation, few “thank yous,” and everyone’s complaints. We hope that the future will reveal that our class has produced some intelligent, civic-minded individuals who, in spite of the many discouraging factors, will seek election to the Board of Education because they are in- terested in good schools and a good education for Canastota’s children. — ANN MARIE PATANE page five First How: loft to right — Mrs. Snyder, Miss Ihiniels, Miss Williams, Mrs. Aust, Miss Martin, Mrs. Brooks.

CLASS COLORS Green and Gold CLASS FLOWER American Beauty Rose CLASS MOTTO “After the battle, the reward.” page twenty-thrci• Ihsiu 1Ue yeanA, page twenty-four GIgAA Looking back over the years, we see that our class has always been in the hands of able leaders. Our Presidents who have led us through the “Battle” these past four years have been: George Tucci, Alice Car- ney, Elvira Galavotti, and Bryan Eddy. Their able assistants as Vice-Presidents were: Paul Hummel, Ross Stagnitti, Bryan Eddy, and Ann Marie Patane. Members of the Writers’ Cramp Club were Donna Galton, who was a two-time winner, Pat Ramsdell, and Barbara Shields, as our Secretaries. Those who were watched carefully and who thankfully never left town were Ross Stagnitti, Gail Palmer, Ann Marie Patane, and Pat Ramsdell, our Treasurers. We started out as bright-eyed Fresh- men, excited over our new’ life at High School. When Christmas came around, we put up one of the best trees to ever appear in the Auditorium, and Eric Lawson will vouch for that. We really made a big haul when we sold household articles all over town. We’ll never forget the class party after the sale with all the skits, food, and dancing. Then we wrere back again as Sophomores with one year already gone. That year we ordered our stained glass window. Boy, did that fifty-eight stand out among all the others! We finished the year with our second class picnic at Verona Beach. Remember how everyone ate so much that we could hardly play baseball. Well, there was half our high school life gone, for we were now Juniors ready for that next big step. The really big event of the year was our Junior Prom, with Gail Palmer and Bryan Eddy as co-chairmen. Why, we were one of the first classes in years to make a large profit on it. In fact, we were almost ready to plan another one to insure the filling of our Treasury, but our advisors vetoed this. When we received our rings, we were very proud comparing ours with the rings of past years, for we had ordered the new round type. This year we sold candy and if we hadn’t peddled most of it to teachers, we probably would still be eating it ourselves. Completing the year was the Junior- Senior Picnic at Green Lake, and our class had to foot the bill. We put on one of the best feeds in history and we hoped to be treated the same next year. It didn’t seem as if our high school years could have flown by so fast. There we were Seniors already. Most of us haven’t even thought about applying to college or consid- ering types of jobs. We had the customary magazine sale, which aided our Treasury greatly. After the midyear exams, we traveled on very quickly to our goal. At the class pic- nic at Green Lake, we were treated like kings by the Juniors. Then moving up night; Graduation; and our four wonderful years had come to an end all too swiftly. — BRYAN EDDY page twenty-five GlcuU Pn pJtecy ANNOUNCER: “And now, Mrs. Snyder and Miss Wil- liams, are you ready for your final question worth $1,000,000? This last question will be on history —- made up by our Board of Direc- tors, Miss Rita Mackey, and her assistants, Mr. Lawrence Waldo and Miss Florence Fur- faro. And as a consolation prize, if you don't answer the question, you will win a trip around the world, all expenses paid. Are you ready for the big question?” MRS. SNYDER and MISS WILLIAMS: “Yes, we’re ready.” ANNOUNCER: “It’s a beautiful warm sum- mer day. You’re paddling in your birch bark canoe on Oneida Lake. You come across a little creek on the south end of the lake. What is the name of the creek?” MRS. SNYDER and MISS WILLIAMS (after thinking it over): “Would it be Oneida Creek?” ANNOUNCER: “Oh, I’m sorry it’s Fish Creek. But don’t feel bad; although you’ve lost $1,000,000, you’ve both won a trip around the world. And so, in the year 1973, these two ad- visors of the Class of 1958 prepared to take a trip around the world. During their travels, they encountered many of the members of the Class of ’58, many of them right here in the United States. While traveling down South they had the pleasure of meeting the cigarette king of the world — Jim Balducci, who has the larg- est tobacco plantation ever known in the world and his staff of secretaries under the able leadership of Miss Carol Bonaventura. They then flew to New York City where they were to board a plane that would fly them to France. Their pilot and hostess were none other than Don Olden and Betty Devine. Betty meets many of her fellow classmates in her journey. Not too long ago Miss Judy Coe — the great concert pianist and singer — returned from England where she had done a command performance for Queen Elizabeth. Betty also said that Professor Thomas Crandall, head of the Math Depart- ment at Oxford, often flies back and forth from America to England, but many a time he had missed his plane. page twenty-six The first place they stopped in France was, of course, Paris. On the Champs Elysees they saw a fashion center known the world over as La Shoppe de Mile. Cass, owned of course, by Miss JoAnn Cass. In Switzerland they visited a watch factory, for the Swiss are noted for their watches. Of course, John (Speed) Connell owned the factory, but even with all the watches and clocks to keep time for him, he’s still always late. In his spare time John often takes trips to the moon. In Italy they stopped to visit an Art Mu- seum in Florence where Barb Cesarini and Joanne Manaseri both were exhibiting their wonderful work. While in China they visited the famous Dental Clinic operated by Jeanette Teite and Maxine Peryer. Now we know why the Chinese have such nice white teeth. Also in China they met Steve Tifft and Pete De- Mauro, who both have risen to the rank of Admiral in the Navy. The two teachers took a cruise from China to South America. They were very surprised to find that Don Masucci was the captain of the ship. When they arrived in Argentina, Miss Williams and Mrs. Snyder spent an enjoyable time on the ranch of Mr. Eric Lawson. Eric raises some of the finest horses in the world. As they traveled north through South America they stopped in Venezuela where Bob Medico recently struck one of the rich- est oil veins in history. In Mexico City they stopped to see the great bull fighter — Willard (the bull) Mer- rell — perform. Working with him was Jon Otts, who runs quite a large and very suc- cessful cemetery full of fighters who had gotten in the way of the bull. In San Francisco they stopped to visit Judy Proctor who is a famous ice skater for the Ice Follies. Being the great star she is, she has a staff of secretaries to handle all her fan mail, consisting of Pat Rarrisdell, Ruth Moore and Rita Niles. Also, while in California they visited the fabulous city of Hollywood where Doug Pex- ton owns and operates the Hollywood News. GlcuU PnafUtecif, Of course, Doug has working for him Donna Galton, who writes the daily gossip column. Elvira Galavotti is presently employed by M G M Studios designing hairdos. In Las Vegas, the two advisors stopped at the Gold Nugget, where Frank Lucarelli has the biggest pool room in the city. They traveled through the Middle West and visited Mr. Frank Sgroi, who has a large wheat farm. In Omaha, Nebraska, Carleen DeFazio and Joan Farnam have recently established their own secretarial school. In South Bend, they met Nita Jaquin, who was the first girl majorette ever to lead the great Notre Dame Band. Mr. Ross Stag- nitti is also employed there as head of the math department. In Chicago they visited Gail Palmer and Brenda Niles who are both registered nurses at a hospital in that windy city. They visited the shoe factoi-y of Mr. Jerry DeBalso, who makes shoes for people with feet larger than size 16. They weren’t surprised to find Barb Shields working there as his private secretary. They stopped at Northwestern and visited Alice Carney who is head of the Science Department. They happened to catch a TV program which was wrestling from Marigold. Of course, the winner of the match was none other than Fred Dunn. From Chicago they flew to our nation’s capitol where Miss Susie King had recently been promoted to the head of the FBI, the first woman ever to hold that position. Pat Mascari also works for the government as a secretary to the secretary to the President. Jim Lewis is still in the Army where he is now head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Fi-om Washington, they traveled to Sy- racuse and were glad to be nearing home. They had a luncheon date with the President of General Electric who was none other than Mr. Bryan Eddy. Bob Becker is still playing for the Syracuse Nats and recently broke an all world’s record by making 75 points in his last game. Over at Three Rivers, Pat Bruno, part owner of the Rivers, has just signed up the orchestra of Mi-. George Tucci, known the world over. He has just completed a world tour. Traveling and working with him is his side-kick, that well known bass player, Pete Musacchio. Bill Wilcox is an artificial insemination technician. That’s a long term for artificial breeding. At Syracuse University, Peter Eaton has just been promoted to Dean of the Uni- versity, while Chuck Cappareli holds the position of head of the history department. Mrs. Richaid Rossi, the former Miss Ann Marie Patane, has taken over the ownership of the T. H. Perrin and Company and has renamed it R. Rossi and Son. Mrs. Rossi and Miss Lois Wexler, owner of Parks, are still running in full competition. Carmen and Rosalie Cerio have taken over the Cerio Block on Main Street. They renamed it the Cerio Homestead. Miss Judy Yorton, now Mrs. William Bender, has taken over the ownership of Dick’s Flower Shop. Rev. Allen Wentworth has taken over his father’s job as pastor of the First Baptist Church. Nancy Compoli recently opened her own beauty shop. Bill Pugliano is back in Canastota after having won his last fight. John Cesarini has renamed Cesarini’s Billard Parlor to Little John’s Billiard Parlor. Mike Fox is now part owner of the Hi Way Bowl, having worked himself up as pin boy. Tom Fusillo and An- thony Sorbello are now running the largest onion farm in the United States and Larry Devine has his own carpentry business. Dorothy New is working in City Hall and Virginia Salamino is now working at the office of Canastota’s High School. Mr. Rich- ard Shuler has his own dairy farm on the outskirts of Canastota and Bruce Norris is his head man. Miss Barbara Olcott has re- cently opened her own dress shop. Ken Clarke is now the manger of the A. P. The two advisors could now rest their weary bones.

Early in our Junior year we held our first meeting to elect our officers: Presi- dent, Karen Ufford; Vice-president, Leslie Morrell; Secretary, Dick Thoma; Treasurer, Rosanne Ferrara. This was to be a busy year right from the start because we held one of our two dances the following Friday. The next few meetings concerned our Ju- nior Prom which used the theme “Autumn Leaves”. The colors finally decided upon were pastel green and white. November 22, 1957 finally brought our long sought night which, with the help of Ray Paratore and his orchestra, and under Co-Chairmen Ann Patane and Allen Kime, was a success. Even before the Prom was over, our thoughts were turning toward our class rings. After a short debate, they were cho- sen; a few days later fittings and orders were taken. About two months later they page thirty-four arrived, and we were all proud of our beauti- ful rings. When the Student Council was organiz- ed, we elected Allen Kime and Connie Schepp to represent us. With a few weeks of work our light bulb sale increased our treasury considerably, as did the sale of refreshments at the home football games. Along with June came one of our last activities, the Junior-Senior Picnic. We all had a good time and enjoyed the many faci- lities at Green Lake State Park. Although this year was a busy one, most of us agree that it was the best one yet. With many many thanks to our wonder- ful advisors: Miss Furfaro, Mrs. Aust, and Mr. Tornatore. — RICHARD E.

The Class of 1960 began its sophomore year by electing Nancy Buttino, president; Joan Musacchio, vice president; Margaret Chappelle, treasurer, and Dawn Weismore, secretary. The sophomore dance, our first social event of the year, was well attended. We decided on lavender and white for our class colors and the orchid for our class flower. When our class window arrived, we were all sure it was the prettiest one there. This year we added to our treasury by selling candy bars at home football and bas- ketball games. January found us busily en- gaged in the sale of cookies. Hundreds of boxes were sold. Another sophomore dance was held in March, and as an added attrac- tion we held a basketball game in wdiich the boys played the girls. It turned out very successful. In April we added still more to our trea- sury by having a bake sale. Two paper drives held in May were another method of raising funds. The sophomore picnic at Verona Beach State Park will end our sophomore year. We, the Sophomore Class, would like to thank our advisors, Miss Martin, Miss Kwas- nicke, and Mr. Kirkpatrick for the wonderful supervision they have given us. — DAWN WEISMORE page thirty-five tytiethman GlaM First.

The Class of 1961 started its freshman year with the election of the following offi- cers: president, Deborah Newberry; vice- president, Anna Bertolero; secretary, Judith Hallagan; treasurer, Mary Finocchiaro. At a latter date we chose dark blue and silver as our class colors, the white carnation as our flower, and “After the battle, the reward,” as our motto. The first big event of our freshman year was a dance. This was held in Septem- ber and it was very successful. The class decided to sell stationery as a means of add- ing funds to our growing treasury. This proved to be a profitable project. We then felt we could purchase our class window. It came in November. page thirty-six Next came Christmas and the class de- corated the tree in the auditorium. It was a pretty sight and we received many com- pliments. We held another dance in March which, while it didn’t add too much in the way of money to our treasury, brought pleasure to our class members. An enjoyable picnic was held at Verona Beach in June. This was greatly enjoyed by our class and brought our freshman year to a happy close. We wish to thank our class advisors Miss Daniels, Mrs. Abramson, and Mr. Law- rence for all the helpful guidance they have given us during the year. — JUDITH HALLAGAN tyJe ie. page thirty-seven page thirty-eight Id, TdJe I ie page forty page forty-one Student Gauncit First Row: left to right — L.

The Student Council was initiated in this school in the years 1956-57 to represent the student body. As part of its work last year, it supervised Eighth Grade Orienta- tion, Teacher Appreciation Day and conduct- ed the election for the officers. To begin this year, we had election of officers. Those elected are as follows: Presi- dent, George Tucci; Vice President, Eliza- beth Proctor; Secretary, Patricia Ramsdell; Treasurer, Jack Giordano; Secretary of Court, Margaret New. The Student Council has also assumed Assembly leadership and approval. We act- ed as guides and receptionists during Amer- ican Education Week for “the-back-to-school night.” page forty-two On March 18, we had our first Student Day. A student from each class was elected or appointed to teach the lesson for the day. George Tucci, Liz Proctor and Jerry DeBalso replaced Mr. Svolos, Mr. McLean and Mr. Silknetter, respectively, for the entire day. Due to a great deal of planning by the teach- ers and cooperation by the students, the day was quite successful. With a few changes, we hope to make it an annual event. Other activities scheduled for this year are as follows: school clean-up campaign; institution of senior privileges; and the elec- tion of officers this May for next year. The members of the Student Council would like to thank Mr. Silknetter for his outstanding patience and helpfulness. — PAT RAMSDELL K. £. Saciety First row: loft to right — J. Manage ri, B. Shields L.

At the beginning of September, we sel- ected thirteen new members. A Rush Tea was held for them at the White Elephant, where initiation began lasting for a long two weeks. The Big Sisters really gave their pledges a hard time, but it was all in fun. Convention, held this year in Utica at Hotel Utica, was the main topic of discussion among the K.E. girls during the month of November. About twenty girls attended, all of whom had a wonderful time. Orchids to our chapter on winning the trophy for the prize skit at Convention, and also to our page forty-three president, Donna Galton, who was elected vice-president of Grand Lodge. Thanks to Pat Sgarlata for the use of her home, our Christmas Party was a big success. Some of our projects this year have in- cluded sending CARE packages overseas, clothing drives, raffles and bake sales, all aiming towards our goal — Charity. K.E. also sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance in October, which was a big success. In May our annual mother-daughter ban' quet was held at the White Elephant, follow- ed by a semi-formal dance at the High School. We extend our deep appreciation and gratitude to our advisors, Miss Galavotti and Miss Mengucci, who have helped us greatly throughout the year. — JUDY PROCTOR Science GluL First Row: left) to right — M.

At our first meeting, the officers elected were these: Ann Patane as president; Louis Buttino as vice president; Elizabeth Proctor as secre- tary; Lois Wexler as treasurer; and Mary Kay Finn as librarian. At our next meeting in November, we were entertained by Mr. Mitchell of The Cities Service Oil Company, who spoke to us on “The Magic Barrel.” On December ninth we held our annual Christmas dinner in the cafeteria of the Roberts Street School. Everyone brought gifts for the needy. page forty-four At our January meeting we listened to Mr. Jones, of the Bell Telephone Company, speak on “Micro-waves.” We had no February meeting due to the snow storm which caused the schools io be closed. Although in this month, we did hold a bake sale. In March, at our meeting we had a movie on the “Alaskan Eskimo.” In April we all went to the Science Con- gress in Syracuse. Last but not least, in May we had our annual field trip. In closing, we would like to thank our able advisors.

With nine lettermen returning for prac- tice sessions in early September, Canastota again showed promise of a championship team. Seven of the nine lettermen were starters on the 1956 squad that won six games and lost one. Many sophomores, up from the undefeated freshman football team, also saw plenty of action. Although the championship did not go to Canastota, the Raider’s still enjoyed a fine season. Due to the flu-like illness that forced Canastota and other Tri-Valley league schools to close, the Canastota Red Raiders managed to play only five games. After a string of four straight wins the Raiders were upset in their final game by a strong V. V. S. eleven. Canastota 57, Chittenango 0 The Canastota Red Raiders opened the 1957 Tri-Valley league schedule by running roughshod over Chittenango High, 57 to 0. This was a fine prelude to the beginning of Coach William (Pinky) Schmidt’s 30th year at the helm of the Red Raiders. Junior Fran Fabrizi and sophomore Grant White highlighted the parade of touchdowns with each scoring two. Other T.D.’s were scored by George Tucci, Frank Lucarelli, Paul DiGeorge, Bruce Hazen, and Bob Medico. Canastota 32, Oneida 6 After spotting Oneida six points in the first quarter, Canastota had to come from behind to score its second win of the season. This was the sixth consecutive win over the hapless Indians, but the first time Oneida registered a touchdown against Canastota in five years. Lucarelli, McConnell, and DiGeorge scored on runs while Fabrizi and White scored on passes from Tucci. Canastota 21, Clinton 0 Although spending most of the after- noon in Clinton territory, Canastota only managed to score three touchdowns. Costly fumbles on the Clinton goal line prevented the score from being greater. Frank Lucarelli and Rick McConnell both scored on runs, while Bob Becker scored on a pass from Tucci as the Raiders register- ed their third win of the season.

The 1957-58 Canastota Varsity compiled a 13-5 record, capturing second place in Tri- Valley competition and winning the Oneida Area, Class B Championship in the Section III Tournament. Coached by Eddie Kilpa- trick, the team showed a fine floor game with able rebounding power. Good sportsmanship was on display at every contest. Taking until after Christmas to become a solid working unit, the Canastota Varsity showed a great deal of determination and competitiveness. Coach Kilpatrick’s charges reacted very well under his direction. He was able to inspire in the boys some of his spirit. This spirit, drive, and desire to play well and win was also present at the practice sessions. Many times after a losing cause, the squad came back to the familiar form of the Canastota hoopsters. It is agreed that the unity and determination of the squad were the main factors in their sucessful season. Canastota improved with the experience of each game, and captured second place in the Tri-Valley League. Entering the Section III Tournament, the Varsity climaxed their season by winning the Oneida Area Class B Championship. The Varsity “starting five”, led by ex- perienced seniors Bob Becker, Don Masucci, Don Olden and George Tucci, and sophomore Grant White who came up from the Junior Varsity, paved the way for the season. With bench strength of Ross Stagnitti, Pete Ea- ton, Jim Balducci and Bob Medico, the start- ers were able to receive a helping hand when needed. At the annual Lion’s Club Banquet giv- en in honor of the squad, Bob Becker receiv- ed the Most Valuable Player Award and Don Masucci was honored with the Most Improv- ed Player Award. Although Canastota lost most of its veterans through graduation, the prospects for a good season next year are assured by our Tri-Valley Junior Varsity Champs, who will provide the core of the 1958-59 hoop- sters. — PETER EATON page fifty-three lAJuebtlincj, First How: left to right — W.

The wrestling team of Canastota High School had one of its best seasons this past year. Winning seven matches and losing only one, they captured a tie for first place with Oneida. They were awarded a trophy as eo- champions of the Central Division in the Central New York Wrestling League. The team entered the Central New York Wrestling Tournament, which was held in February at Canastota. Two members, Frank Lucarelli, at 147 lbs. and Bruce Hazen at 127 lbs., advanced to the finals, with Lucarelli victorious in his weight class. In the Section III Tournament, held at Rome, New York, Lucarelli advanced to the finals before succumbing to his opponent. Although the wrestling team loses five of its members through graduation — An- thony Sorbello, Fred Dunn, Bryan Eddy, Frank Lucarelli, and Jerry DeBalso — the outlook for next season is very encouraging.

Under the coaching of Frank Valetta, the Raiders scor- ed a total of 44 runs, while allowing only 23 runs to their opponents. Catcher George Tucci was named most valuable player of the season. Graduation eliminated only two boys from this year’s squad: pitcher Joe Cappa- relli, who won all four games last year, and infielder Jim Fogg. As Coach Bob Borgog- noni takes over this year’s team, he will have nine lettermen returning. The Raiders plan a 16-game schedule in 1958 if the weather prevails.

With Coach William (Pinky) Schmidt using his first team for just five minutes, the Raiders unleashed an amazing ground and aerial attack to overwhelm Cam- den. Canastota scored a total of eleven touch- downs, four of them on passes. Bob Becker and Grant White each scor- ed two T.D.s to lead the scoring. Other touch- downs were scored by Lucarelli, Tucci, Fabri- zi, Galton, Hazen, Shuler, and Capparelli. Canastota 7. V.V.S. 19 In the final game of the year, determin- ing the league championship, the Raiders were defeated by V.V.S. From the opening whistle to the final whistle, Canastota was simply outplayed by the determined V.V.S. team. Canastota showed very few bright spots, managing to score only once. With a few minutes left to play in the first half, the Raiders scored on a pass from George Tucci to Bob Becker. Lucarelli scored the extra point, putting Canastota ahead seven to six. In the second half it was all V.V.S.’s game as they scored two more touchdowns, going on to win the Tri-Valley league championship by defeating Canastota. Despite the poor showing with V.V.S., Canastota still had an enjoyable season. The Raiders placed second in the standings with a four-one record. Grant White led the Can- astota scoring with 31 points. Fabrizi and Lucarelli followed close behind with 28 and 26 points respectively. With the season drawn to a close, the Tri-Valley league All-County football team was chosen. End, Bob Becker; tackle, Jerry DeBalso; and guard Chuck Capparelli were chosen on the first team.
