Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1972 volume:

5. And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were burned; and some were put apart from their kind. 6. And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles did rule over all the earth. 7. But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that did cause Man to create his God lived on within all men; even Aqualung. 8. And Man saw it not. 9. But Jor God s sake, heV better start looking. We, the Class of 1972, dedicate this collection of thoughts to Douglas W. Wilbur. Many pages were turned, many chapters read, and now we have reached the end of our book. Some pages were comprehensible, and en- joyable to all, others were complex and filled with confusion. It was during these moments we paused, searching for someone to lead us out of the darkness. It took a person of kindness and patience to attempt such a task; someone who was unselfish and was willing to lend assistance whenever needed. A person who not only instructed us how, but explained why. This person showed us numerous 2 solutions and had faith in our final decision. The Class of 1972 was fortunate to have such a person as their advisor. To show our gratitude and thanks we, the Class of 1972, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Douglas Wilbur. Words alone can not express our appreciation for all he has done for us. As we start another book in our lives, may we always look for, and find, another person like Mr. Wilbur who has made our years at C.H.S. a book well read. Time will never end for there has to be a state of nothingness after it and the changes of sky must be defined by an atomic-scarred mutant strain. 1 am able to cast a projection into the future because it is undefinable to those whose time has come to leave the security I have been conveniently placed in this dimension to remember the past, live in the present and constantly strive for the universe I have sewn the ragged edges of aspirations together and will live this life until it is over and I have touched the sun. I have a purpose unknown until tomorrow so I must leave today and look over the stars for the next dimension. There Will Be No Peace Though mild clear weather Smile again on the shore of your esteem, And its colors came back, the storm changed you: You will not forget, ever, The darkness blotting out hope, the gale Prophesying your downfall You must live with your knowledge Way back, beyond, outside of you are others In moonless absences you never heard of, Who have certainly heard of you, Beings of unknown number and gender, And they do not like you. What have you done to them? Nothing? Nothing is not an answer: You will find yourself thinking—how can you help it?— That you did, you did do something; You will find yourself wishing you would make them laugh, You will long for their friendship. There will be no peace: Fight back, then, with such courage as you have And every unchivalrous dodge you know of, Clear in your conscience on this; Their cause, if they had one, is nothing to them now, They hate for hate’s sake. W. H. Auden Seems Like A Long Time Night time is only The other side of daytime, But if you’ve ever waited for the sun— Then you know what it's like, to wish daytime would come. Hard times are only The other side of good times, But if you’ve ever wished hard times were gone— Then you know what it’s like. To wish good times would come. Wartime is only The other side of peace time, But if you've ever seen how wars were won— Then you know what it’s like. To wish that peace would come. And doesn’t it seem like a long-time, Seem like a long time, Seem like a long, long time. Brewer and Shipley All Things Must Pass Sunrise doesn’t last all morning A cloudburst doesn’t last all day Seems my love is up, and has left you with no warning But it’s not always to be this grey All things must pass, all things must pass away, Sunset doesn’t last all evening A wind can blow those clouds away After all this my love is up and must be leaving But it’s not always going to be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass None of life’s strings can last So—I must be on my way . . . and face another day Now the darkness only stays at night time In the morning it will fade away Daylight is good at arriving at the right time No it’s not always going to be this grey All things must pass, all things must pass away All things must pass, all things must pass away. George Harrison 13 •afejag: They listened. The many-voiced song of the river echoed softly. Siddhartha k many pictures in the flowing water. He saw his father, lonely, mourning for his also with the- bonds of longing for his faraway son; he saw his son. also lonely,.... along the buming'patfs of life's desires; each one concentrating on his goal, each one obsessed bv m. each one suffering. The river's voice was sorrowful. It sang with yearning and sadness, flowing t'owa goal. “Do you hear? ' asked Vasudeva’s mute glance. Siddhartha nodded. “Listen better!” whispered Vasudeva. Siddhartha tried to listen better. The picture of his father, his own picture, and the picture of his son all flowed into each other. Kamala’s picture also appeared and flowed on. and the picture ofGovinda and others emerged and passed on. They all became part ot the river. It was the goal of all of them, yearning, desiring, suffering; and the river's voice was full of longing, full of smarting woe, full of insatiable desire. The river flowed on towards its goal. Siddhartha saw the river hasten, made up of himself and his relatives and all the people he had never seen. All the waves and water hastened, suffering, towards goals, many goals, to the waterfall, to the sea, to the current, to the ocean and all goals were reached and each one was succeeded by another. The water changed to vapor and rose, became rain and came down again, became spring, brook and river, changed anew, flowed anew. But the yearning voices had altered. It still echoed sorrowfully, searchingly, but other voices accompanied it, voices of pleasure and sorrow, good and evil voices, laughing and lamenting voices, hundreds of voices, thousands of voices. Siddhartha listened. He was now listening intently, completely absorbed, quite empty, taking in everything. He felt that he had now completely learned the art of listening. He had often heard all this before, all these numerous voices in the river, but today they sounded different. He could no longer distinguish the different voices—the merry voice from the weeping, the childish voice from the manly voice. They all belonged to each other: the lament of those who yearn, the laughter of the wise, the cry of indignation and the groan of the dying. They were all interwoven and interlocked, entwined in a thousand ways. And all the voices, all the goals, all the yearnings, all the sorrows, all the pleasures, all the good and evil, all of them together was the world. All of them together was the stream of events, the music of life. When Siddhartha listened attentively to this river, to this song of a thousand voices: when he did not listen to the sorrow or laughter, when he did not bind his soul to anyone particular voice and absorb it in his Self, but heard them all, the whole, the unity: then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of one word: Om—perfection. “Do you hear? asked Vasudeva's glance once again. Vasudeva’s smile was radiant; it hovered brightly in all the wrinkles of his old face, as the Om hovered over all the voices of the river. His smile was radiant as he looked at his friend, and now the same smile appeared on Siddhartha's face. His wound was healing, his pain was dispersing; his Self had merged into unity. From that hour Siddhartha ceased to fight against his destiny. There shone in his face the serenity of knowledge, of one who is no longer confronted with conflict of desires, who has found salvation, who is in harmony with the stream of events, with the stream of life, full of sympathy and compassion, surrendering himself to the stream, belonging to the unity of all things. As Vasudeva rose from the seat on the river bank, when he looked into Siddhartha’s eyes and saw the serenity of knowledge shining in them, he touched his shoulder gently in his kind protective way and said: “1 have waited for this hour, my friend. Now that it has arrived, let me go. 1 have been Vasudeva, the ferryman, for a long time. Now it is over. Farewell hut, farewell river, farewell Siddhartha. “I knew it.” he said softly. “Are you going into the woods?” “Yes. 1 am going into the woods; 1 am going into the unity of all things, said Vasudeva, radiant. And so he went away. Siddhartha watched him. With great joy and gravity he watched him. saw his steps full of peace, his face glowing, his form full of light. . . What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now forever taken from my sight, though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind . . .

While in her first three years at CHS, she participated in such activities as Chorus, Foreign Affilia- tion Service, Drama Club, Spanish Club and was a member of Senior National Honor Society. Mary, an amiable, vivacious and funloving person, was greatly missed by the student body. We all enjoyed having Tanya as our foreign exchange student for this year. She comes from Santa Cruz, and plans on attending Santa Cruz University to study law when she returns to Bolivia. During her stay Tanya made her home with three area families, and quickly learned English, as well as many of our customs. Her brother Gorge was an exchange student at Liverpool this year and often visited Canastota. Tanya participated in girls’ volleyball and F.A.S. She will be missed by many when she returns home. 46 Tanya Prada Juniz Class Officers And Advisors Mrs. Peterson. Mr. DeLuca, Mrs. Owens.

Carolla, Principal Involvement, commitment, decision-making, relevancy, group-awareness and respon- sibility—these learning areas have been en- countered in-depth by the Class of 1972. All of us who have had a part in your development, believe that, because of these educational “thrusts”, you are leaving us as a successful class. Your school has been a laboratory and a testing ground to prepare you for life’s complex demands. We do hope that the lessons and experiences gained through the efforts of teachers, parents and other interested in- dividuals will enable each of you to attain a successful adulthood. On your departure from Canastota High School, we plead with you to be of service to others and to safeguard your most cherished worldly possession—your health. Godspeed To The Class of 1972— At this time you will be given much advice and wished many good wishes—the time for my guiding advice is past—So I extend my best wishes to all of you for success in your endeavors and happiness always. Wallace W. Sharpe Wallace W. Sharpe, Vice Principal 64 OOMALO r. ICULE Casastota Centbal ScmoOcS CANASTOTA N V ISOJJ ......... Orro lurr- htihm.' To the Cta o( 1972: Thank you tor the opportunity to include a brief message in your yaaroook. Congratulations upon your graduation. and best wishes to each of you for much happiness and fulfillment of your goals. Much preiso also goes to your parents and teachers. During my years as your Superintendent this Class progressed through high school. It was heartening indeed to work with so many of you. Some of my fondest momories will be those involving students - - your friendly attitude, your fine spirit, and the warmth and respect you have shown toward younger pupils and adults as well. During your high school years man has taken his longest journey. He has travelog to the moon and yet. has journeyed almost nowhere toward true understanding and love of his noighbor. Knowledge alone is not sufficient. We have learned a great deal. We will continue to learn much, but as each day passes it is my hope that each of us will combine knowledge end exper- ience with the necessary action to make our world a little better. What we do for others, rather than what we gain from others will prove whether man makes that important journey which really spells the difference. Sincerely, ild r.

The new English program which was introduced this year for grades 9-11 was developed after examination of the curriculum, with the objective of meeting individual interests and abilities of the students. It consisted, in the 9th and 10th grades, of six week mini-courses with three required and three electives. In scheduling classes no differentiation was made between Regents and Local Diploma, except in 11th grade. In all three grades the LAP system was used to allow for differences in abilities of the students. The LAPS contained objectives of the course and reading lists, assignments, and activities to reach their goals. Students were graded on their individual efforts and achievements. 66 This year the Social Studies Department under Mrs. Baldwin introduced sizable innovations in an attempt to individualize the learning of each student and enable him to learn according to his abilities. The lap system was introduced in the eleventh grade, which was heterogenously mixed. Each student chooses his own material and works at his own pace. When written work is completed, he participates in discussion groups and then takes a test on the topic. In February the seventh grade also began doing activity laps, with each student reading at his own grade level, and choosing his material from a reading list. Plans are already being made to use the lap system in the eleventh grade next year. Miss Furfaro. Mrs. Baldwin. Mrs. McCartcn, Miss Calli, Mr. DeLuca, Mr. Arsenault, Mr. Gibson. Mr. Miller, Mr. Waldo. Social Studies Department Mr. Schnur—Department Head, Mr. Constantine, Mr. Broga, Mr. Rouse, Mr. Wilbur, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Beale, Mr. Cass. The science department is still undefeated. A fine array of talented and well educated young men are seeking to give the students the finest science background possible. We hope to develop future citizens who can think for themselves and solve problems in this ever changing world we face today. Canastota Jr. Sr. High School will, in a short time, be incorporating new Algebra and Geometry programs into its mathematical scheme. These will be Regents accredited and will be offered for three semesters instead of the traditional two. The rest of the Regents courses, while remaining essentially the same, will, however, place an increased emphasis on individualized instruction. Also, the Department hopes to expand the use of the computer terminal to areas other than mathematics. It is hoped that this will enable more students to experiment in one of the great economic fields of the future. Mr. Buchan, Mrs. Sharpe, Mrs. Fisher, Mr. Nowakowski, Mr. Moore. Mr. Doty, Mr. Astrachan. Math Department 69 Foreign Language Department Mr. Newton, Mrs. Smith—Dept. Head, Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Park. The Department of Modern Foreign Languages is attempting to provide the student with a “relevant” learning experience in the study of French and Spanish. The Department hopes to contribute to his intellectual and emotional growth, along with providing those skills which will enable him to communicate orally and in writing with people of other nationalities. The depart- ment desires to assist the pupil in arriving at a more positive approach to foreign people and to help him interpret and cope with situations he will encounter in life. Guidance Modern society with its constant social and economic pressures places stress upon young people to achieve their present day needs and future goals. Individuals are different, one from another, as to abilities, aptitudes, interests, needs and desires. Likewise, individuals have certain basic needs that must be met satisfactorily if they are to develop properly, and if they are to take their place in the social order. Young people especially need help in learning to understand themselves and their environment. In order to achieve their maximum adjustment, young people need assistance in solving current and immediate problems, but also in developing their resources in such a way that they will be better able to solve the problems which will confront them in the future. It is the role of the guidance program, interrelated with other parts of the personnel function, which is expected to serve each individual and to assist him to assume his rightful place in society. 7) L. Cooke, M.E. Kime, V. Albanese, Dept. Head, J. DiMao. Mrs. Kime, Mrs. Eldred, Mrs. Gillette. Home Ec. is a practical course that makes sense and is relevant as well as being enjoyable. The students have first hand experience with younger children through a class project, they rearrange the Home Ec. room periodically as part of their interior decorating unit as well as evaluate and arrange the storage facilities to better advantage. The Home Ec. department consisted of three teachers; Mrs. Eldred who teaches junior high as well as Home Ec. three, Mrs. Gillette who now teaches all the high school courses and Mrs. Kime. Miss Martin— Miss Martin, our head librarian, is a fine asset to our school. She is always willing to help the students. She has taught many of us the value of the library and how to use it. Miss Martin, besides being a fine librarian is active in other school activities that aid the student. Helen Martin Librarians Mrs. Kapfer Mrs. Kapfer— Mrs. Kapfer is a library clerk. She is kept busy ordering books, taking care of the budget, typing, and keeping all the records in order. Mrs. Kapfer will also help you if Miss Martin is busy. She also helps by taking care of the library while Miss Martin is away during the day. During the 1971-72 school year the In- dustrial Arts Department spent some time in both Junior and Senior High School in the area of mass production, the end product being the design and applied technology of the students. Some experimentation with tools and materials was carried on and the end result was very satisfactory to the students in terms of a success experience. Most students found they could achieve a great deal of success in the process of learning by doing. r Industrial Arts Department Mr. Pariato, Mr. Kime, Mr. Sweeney. 76 The Business Education Department is con- cerned about Canastota students who want to be able to get and keep a good job after graduation. All the secretarial subjects are offered—Typing, Shorthand 1 and Shorthand II, and Secretarial Practice. For the student who wishes to do office work but prefers not to be involved with shorthand, Office Practice is available. For students who are interested in bookkeeping and accounting, Bookkeeping I and II and Business Math are offered. If an individual’s desire is to be a salesman or buyer for a store, both Sales and Management courses are offered. For students who desire something that will benefit them personally, Personal Typing, General Business, and Record Keeping courses are offered. Field trips are planned each year to such Business Colleges as CCBI and Powelson, and to Carrier Corporation and Syracuse Savings Bank. Whether a young man or woman wants to continue his or her education by going to college, or whether a business career is to be pursued immediately after high school graduation, the Business Education Department offers a wide variety of business courses. Mr. Sanderson, Mrs. Peterson, Mr. Coutant. Business Department 77 This year brought many firsts for the Instrumental Music Department. During the football season the Marching Band provided a full half time show for the enjoyment of the spectators at many home and away games. December saw the Junior Concert Band participate in the first annual Festival of Junior Bands at Camden Central Schools. Later, the Senior Concert Band performed in assemblies for both the Elementary and Junior High levels; both organizations performed in the High School Winter Concert held in February. March brought the production of the Broadway musical Camelot and preparations for the New York State School Music Associa- tion Competition to be held in May at Auburn. Throughout the year many students par- ticipated, through audition and selection, in many All County events. Most notable was the fact that one third of the All County Stage Band was selected from Canastota. Music Department 78 The Art Department is attempting to es- tablish courses that conform to the interests and needs of secondary school art students. It is hoped that curriculum changes will give the pupil a better knowledge and understanding of the subject. Ideally, the new courses that the department plans to offer will more efficiently prepare the student for a career in the field of art. Mr. Bcsl, Miss Gural Art Department 79 Driver Education Mr. Kilpatrick, Mr. Moses Driver Education is concerned with the promotion of safe, accident-free driving by having Driver Educa- , tion students learn about and demonstrate defensive driving tactics. The driving part of the course is also designed to have students pass their road test while learning safe driving habits. They familiarize themselves in the classroom with topics that are in close conjunction with and concerned about defensive driving, economics of car ownership, psychological and physical fitness of the driver. These main topics are: car maintenance, adverse weather driving, driving emergen- cies, alcohol and driving, drugs and driving, driving attitudes, new and used car procurement, car loans, car insurance and traffic laws.

Physical Education 81 The efficient, helpful CHS secretarial staff is made up of Mrs. Paone and Mrs. Fratini in the main office, and Mrs. Benenati aided by Mrs. Ezzo in the Guidance Office. They all perform a much needed function in the running of the school. Mrs. Fratini, Mrs. Ezzo. Mrs. Paone, Mrs. Benenatti. Mrs. Rapasadi This year once again the face of Mrs. Beverly Rapasadi was to be seen at the window of our Bookstore. Mrs. Rapasadi is active in school affairs and is willing and ready to help when she is called upon. Mrs. Rybicki There is much to be learned by observing what goes on outside. Photography Club In the Photography Club students with a talent or special interest are given the opportunity to learn the basic techniques of photography—photo taking, and dark room skills such as film development and printing. With these skills the members are able to create photographs with an expression of their own personal tastes or ideas, proving photography is an art. B. Clemens, R. Stagnetti. R. Hut, J. Cerio, C.

The Foreign Affiliation Service has as its main objective the annual United Nations Day, where foreign exchange students from area schools visit Canastota High School. Also, the club sends members to the Model United Nations Conference in Washington, D.C., representing a certain nation and serving on various committees. The delegates this year were: Chris Finn, Carol Arnold, Deb Fabrizi, Leona Hoose, Betsy Hesler, Bob Carolla, and Peter Smith. To raise money for the trip, a Christmas Kiddie Show was given in which members of the club par- ticipated in a play, showed movies, and sang carols. The club also contributed money to help students that are going abroad as exchange students next year, and to worthwhile charitable organizations. Pictures of past and recent exchange students will be framed and hung in the library as another project to be continued in following years. This year the Student Government has been engaged in many diverse programs. Early in the year a seminar was held to acquaint club and class officers with the duties and responsibilities of their par- ticular offices. The Student Government sponsored two basketball games to raise money to adopt a child through the Save the Children Federation. The first game plotted junior girls vs. senior girls, and the second game featured Men’s faculty playing against the Science teachers. Often a student desires to change an existing situation or institute a program, but cannot do it on his own. The Student Coordinating Committee and the Student Faculty Administration Council were created to act on the students behalf at Board of Education meetings and organized discussions with the faculty and administration. The Student Government sponsored mini courses in various subject areas to provide the student with knowledge not available in regular courses. The Student Government scheduled meetings for clubs to eliminate meeting conflicts, and formed the Student Employ- ment Agency which seeks to unite employers with prospective workers.

Varsity “C” The Varsity C Club continued in its tradition in providing a common meeting ground for Canastota’s athletes. The club had several projects, including sponsoring a night game at Vet’s Field, which had a large com- munity and club turn-out. Cheerleading Association This year our high school cheerleading squads, under the direction of Pat Dixon and Maria Pendal, have come together to form the Canastota High School Cheerleading Association. The purpose of the association is threefold: to raise money for uniforms and other necessary equipm- ent, to exchange and share new ideas on cheerleading skills and techniques between squads, and to resolve through discussion any problems which may arise within or between the squads. This year the association has sold cushions, held a car wash, sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance and Homecoming Weekend, held weekly bake sales and enjoyed a Christmas banquet.

And he answered: You would measure time the measureless and immeasurable. You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons. Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch it flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of Life’s timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream. And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space. Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless? And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the centre of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds? And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless? But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons. And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. Kahlil Gibran And the sound we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes. The Senior High Choir, presently numbering 84 students, is one of the most active groups in the Canastota school system. In addi- tion to presenting numerous concerts and assemblies in Canastota and throughout upstate New York, the choir competes at the spring NYSSMA festival and participates in the production of a Broadway musical. Membership is open to any student in grades 9- 12 with an interest in music. Senior Choir C. Stokes, B. Reed, L. Ginther, P. Dale. L. Hoose, B. Hesler, A. Surretle, B. Farfaglia, S. Weekes. T.

The Junior High Choir, composed of about 30 students in grades 7-8, serves as a place to gain singing experience before becoming a member of the Sr. High Choir. The Junior High Choir also maintains an active schedule of its own, participating in many concerts and assemblies in Canastota throughout the school year. too This year, under the “superstar” direction of Gregory Keefe, the Senior and Junior Choirs had a very busy schedule. The year began with the second annual pops concert, which was followed by a Christmas Concert in St. Agatha’s Church. A winter concert was given at the school, and Camelot was presented in collaboration with the Drama Club. The Senior Choir went on to competition in the spring. Several CHS students participated in Area All State and County Choir, and G.J. Kimball represented the school at All State in November. toi Flutes: Cianfa, Fisher, Orr. Surrette, Weekes. Weiner.

Later, the Senior Concert Band performed assemblies for both the Elementary and Junior High levels; both organizations per- formed in the High School Winter Concert held in February. March brought the production of the Broadway Musical Camelot and preparations for the NYSSMA com- petition held in May at Auburn. Throughout the year, many students participated, through audition and selection, in many All County events. Most notible was the fact that one third of the All County Stage Band was selected from Canastota. Stage Band This year brought many firsts for the Instrumental Music Department. During the football season the Marching Band provided a full half time show for the enjoyment of the spectators at many home and away games. 103 For the fourth year the C.H.S. music department presented a full- length musical in the Spring. This year the production was Lerner and Loewe’s CAMELOT, which was given on March 16-18. The musical was a joint effort by several departments of the school and overall production was supervised by Mr. Keefe. More than 100 students were involved in the musical, including a cast of 50, the pit orchestra of 30, and a crew of 25. The leads were carried by Barbara Cianfa as Guenevere, Larry McLain as Lancelot, Frank Vecchio as King Arthur, and Shep Pexton as Pellinore. 104 106 We are the music-makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world forsakers of whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we’re the movers and shakers of the world forever, it seems. It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he falls, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. 108 L.

The team suffered from a severe lack of inexperience with only 8 seniors on the squad. Of these 8, most were themselves inexperienced in Varsity play. Although the record was not as good as everyone would have liked, there was a great amount of self- satisfaction gained through the hard work and time spent by both coaches and players. The determined coaches and players produced many exciting moments such as leading powerful V.V.S. 14-8 at the half, and scoring on Cazenovia’s defense after six Tri-Valley teams failed to do so. After the season some of the hard working players were rewarded for their efforts. They were: Steve O’Hara and Rick Carswell, Best Junior Backs; Dan Avery Most Improved; Jack Romagnoli, Sportsmanship; Joe Compoli, Best Blocker; Rici Clark, Outstanding lineman; and Rich Stancato, most Outstan- ding Player. Rich also was on the Tri-Valley League All Star team as an offensive tackle. • . ; i - t D. Pcircc, R. Pino. J. Cerio, M. Tornatore, P. Fiore. T. Downs. B. Frolick. L. Tornatore. A. Butler, M.

Football Team, despite a dismal record of 2 and 6, caused in part by injuries and sickness, showed bright promise and will undoubtedly insure Canastota a winning team in future seasons. 112 Cross Country The Cross-Country team came up with a 1 and 7 record this year with only 3 seniors on the team. Team members that will graduate this fall are Norman Wilkinson, Bruce Quackenbush, and John Scheid. Great hope was expressed for next year by Coach Astrachan as he will have returning stars Tom Mariano and Joe Jeffris. A need for new talent was also mentioned. J. Scheid, G. Bush, J. Jeffris, T.

It consisted of nine juniors and only four seniors, and the starting five was dominated completely by eleventh graders. Initially, many expected a disappointing season, but the team proved surprising with their exciting fast breaking type of play led by tri-Valley League scoring champion Steve O’Hara. Steve tallied 423 points in 18 games for an average of 23.5 points per game. He also set a new school record by scoring 43 points in one game against Camden. With 9 out of the 13 players returning, the outlook is very bright for the future. The Raiders will lose by graduation: Joe DeFazio, Mike Willis, Stan Palmer, and Mike Adsit. 114 The Junior Varsity Basketball team went through a rebuilding year finishing with a 4-12 record. Although they won only 4 games, they played an exciting brand of basketball. Junior Varsity Basketball D. Pankhurst, M. O’Hara. B. Verzole, C. Paone. M. Lucarelli, H. Chaires, Coach Glazier. B.

The team was also runner-up in the Central New York Tournament. The team repeated as Tri-Valley League champions despite a 9 and 3 record overall. The strongest factor was the great number of Seniors on the team.

Wrestling squad showed that there is great hope for the future by producing a 10-1-1 dual meet record and copping the team trophy in the Tri-Valley J.V. League Tournament. With most of the Varsity graduating this year many of the J.V. team members will be moving into new berths. The graduating seniors would like to express their wishes for good luck in the future for Canastota wrestlers. 117 Junior Varsity Wrestling Track 1971 Spring Track, with the largest turnout ever for the sport, ended up 5 and 1 on dual meets and placed 8th in the Class B Meet. Of the 35 students competing on Varsity level 23 earned letters. Top stars were Bill Ezzo, who was the first trackman from Canastota to score in a state meet, and Tony Mariano, who is the present holder of the Tri-Valley record in the half-mile. Canastota also placed 7 on the all-star team, of who Rich Stancato is the only one returning. 118 This picture was situated here to provide comic relief. We know that you readers have become so engrossed with facts about sports that you needed something to lift that heavy feeling of involvement from your weary mind. This is a typical athlete or an atypical athlete if you wish. We know that not all athletes are blood- thirsty, overly aggressive, unintelligent and unsportsmanlike. We also know that some of them are, who is to say that our athletes were like this? Not we—and we’re NOT saying this either. They may have been intelligent, tactful, and sportsmanlike. But then again, who is to say? Not we—and we aren’t saying it either, but then, what are we saying? Who is to say? Not we . G.J.K. alias Howie Kosell 119 Varsity Baseball The 1971 Red Raider baseball season was an exciting one; Canastota led the league throughout the year and finally finished in a tie with Chittenango and Holland Patent for the title. After completing a spring trip to Long Island for some early season work, the Raiders returned to tear up Central New York by winning thirteen out of fourteen games, including twelve in a row. Fortune, however, did not continue to smile on the team, and with injuries and some bad breaks, the Raiders lost the last two regular season contests—finishing in a three-way deadlock that necessitated a playoff. Canastota drew Chittenango in the first round of the playoffs and beat the Bears 10 to 4, giving CHS their third consecutive victory over Chittenango. The Raiders, unfortunately, were not as successful their next time out and were defeated by the Golden Knights of Holland Patent who, on the strength of this victory, were crowned Tri-Valley League Champions. Despite Canastota’s late disappointments they concluded one of the most successful Red Raider seasons in recent history. F. Fisher, D. Tianello, J. DeFazio, S. Tornabene, J. Mussachio, F. Galavolti.

They won five and lost seven on league competition, while overall they were seven and eleven. Their record, however, does not indicate the quality of baseball that the team played, and with more experience, these boys will give Canastota excellent representation in the Tri-Valley League. 121 Junior Varsity Baseball J.

The Varsity Tennis team was marked by a lack of experience, as indicated by their record. However, the team had many rewarding and satisfying moments. Ed Cretaro, Bruce Owens, and Ernie Lawrence led the singles, with Jack Romagnoli and Jim Deppolitti leading the doubles. The team had many good times, and, although the season wasn’t successful it was very exciting and unpredictable. Other members of the team were Bill Bruno, Del Klipp, Lance Tornatore, Charley Farfaglia, and Bill Bargabos. Tennis Golf Butch Catalano The Varsity Golf team was coached by Mr. Borgognoni. With only three experienced players, the team finished with a 5-11 record. This years returnees were Rick Pontillo and Butch Catalano. i ate. __ 122 B. Wagner. L. Wilkinson, L. MacLain. B.

A large group of talented boys make up this team to give the young Raiders one of the best Freshman teams in C.F1.S. history. With a fine mixture of speed and height the Red Raiders stunned many of their opponents with dazzling dis- plays of teamwork and scoring punch. If this team continues to progress at its present rate, they will undoubtedly comprise one of the finest teams in Canastota basketball history. D. Hamnon. C. O’Hara. V. Albanese, M. Mariano. P.

The Junior High Baseball team was coached by Mr. J. D. DeLuca and finished with a 4-8 season. The team was led by Karl Palmer, Tomy Albanese, George Koehler, Bob Frolick and Rich Cretaro. It is Coach DeLuca’s speculation that Palmer may turn out to be one of the top players to come out of C.H.S. 124 Reylya, Kennedy, Tornatore, Konowich, Vacarro, Beale, Miller, Ezzo, Murphy, Carmedello, Fiore, Palmer.

The Junior High Wrestling squad produced a fine 5-1 record this season, the best in 4 years. The team was coached by Mr. Arsenault and was led by unbeaten Matt LeBlanc and Tom Bonaventure. The wrestlers should be Junior Varsity and Varsity prospects next year and years to come. 125 The members of the girls tennis team this year were G.J. Kimball. D. Fabrizi. J. Lemmo. P. Vale. D. Hoose, and B. Hesler. Tennis The girls’ tennis team, in its first year in existence, had a considerably fair season. Despite their frequent losses, the girls enjoyed the exercise and excitement which the sport provides. The majority of the team had never before set their hands on a racquet, but when the season ended, some of them even went so far as to develop a recognizable backhand. Mr. Wilbur and Mr. Broga coached the crew in a professional manner and did not become angry when they lost. GIRLS ’ Field Hockey This year’s field hockey team posted a 1-5-1 record, and although the record doesn’t show it, it was a fairly exciting season. Seniors on the team were Carol Arnold, Linda Fratini, Cheryl Keane, Andrea Pino, and Nancy Russell. Many of the girl's hostilities were taken out upon the ball, sticks and each other. Many injuries came about due to this sport, but they were well worth it as it was a very enjoyable season for all. The 1971 Field Flockey team consisted of: C. Arnold. L. Fratini. C. Keane, A. Pino. N. Russell. S. Bargabos. S. Cerio, M. Finnochiaro, B. Giambastiani, L. Flenry. L. Lucarelli, N. Lupica, R. Manning, S. Mitchell, K. Meyers. N. New, P. Taber. M. Tornatore. D. Downer, M.

The only win came in the last game against Holland Patent. The team was led by Seniors Polly Prosser, Linda Fratini, Carol Arnold, and Diane Montalbano. However, with the returning talent, the next season should prove to be more productive. The members of the Varsity squad this year were: M. Tornatore. R. Manning. B. Giambastiani. S. Hoch. D. Burton, M. Finnocchiaro. C. Arnold, L. Fratini, D. Montalbano. P. Prosser. B DiVeronica, and K. Meyers. A THLETICS This year's leam consisted of: L. Fratini, B. DiVeronica, C. O'Hara. K. Massarotli. B. Watkins. M. Finnochiaro, S. Matava, M. Tornatore. B. Giambastiani, P. Prosser, K. Sullivan. T. Prada. and N. Lupica. Volleyball The volleyball team had an ex- cellent session, beating the three toughest teams in the first three games, Cazenovia, Chittenango, and V.V.S. They were led by Seniors—Kathy Sullivan, Tanya Prada, Polly Prosser, Linda Fratini, and Lorraine Noble. With the number of returning Juniors, next year's team should be equally exciting. 127 Freshmen Cheerleaders: Donna Orr, Lauri Fisher, Tina Flail, Carrie O’Hara, Darlene Carswell, Chris Pino, Wendy Bargabos, Wendy Bramley, Karen Cotsovites, Sue Bach, Robin Wuest, Debbie Cerio, and tllen Hesler.

Advisor: Miss Pendell. Canastota Cheering Association A new idea this year, the association was formed in hope of bringing together the three cheering squads into one unifying force. The officers were: Kathy Sullivan—President, Polly Prosser—Vice President, and Linda Tornatore—Secretary. They were involved in many different projects, some of them being a weekly bake sale, the Homecoming Weekend, the Sadie Hawkins dance, and the selling of cushions. The advisors were Miss Dixon and Miss Pendell. 129 The group who put together this yearbook actually consisted of a very few people; many of whom had not been chosen with the Chrissy Coed Finn.

The number dwindled considerably throughout the year and those who bravely finished were often heard muttering to themselves insanely. A few were prone to outbursts of crying — others hysterical laughter. By the end of the year we were all wondering whatever possibly could have induced us to have anything to do with the yearbook. Many infamous personalities were to be seen gracing our work 130 sessions (some a lot more than others). They included: Joey Vocabulary DiGeorge, Crissy Coed Finn, Anne Marie (I can put a yearbook together) Cesario, De De Tomatore, Karen Anne Fran- cis Wallace, Freddie the Tork, and Gerri “Janis” Kimball.
