SENIUH HHSS HISHIHY Dear Seniors: As our last year in high school draws to a close, it is only fitting and proper that we should pause a moment and recall the things that made our stay here in North Canton High interesting and enjoyable. We owe much of our success financially, as well as scholastically, to the efforts of our advisor, Mr. Schneider, who kindly gave his time and helpful advice in our business ventures and in our social activities. We have witnessed a great change. While yet freshmen we felt the influx of self government, ,for the Student Council was organized that year. We have experienced a change in school management and have learned a new meaning of Democracy. We have seen the No-Ca-Hi Lights grow and have come to realize that its contribution to the school is of no little worth. We have thrilled to the triumphs of our athletic teams and point with pride and joy to our championship trophies. In scholarship we have been out- standing. Many of our group are members of the National Honor Society. Our records for the annual scholarship contest at Canton Twp. are envied by many. We have had good times! The Sophomores generously initiated us, and we did likewise to the struggling Freshmen. As' salesmen we'have no equal. We have no doubt contributed much to the dentists' prosperity by our junior candy concession. We set a new high with our ice cream sales at the county tournament in '4O. We made the Christmas of '40 duly sweet by the sale of Christmas candy. We helped to provide high class entertain- ment for the people of our town by selling, in our Junior year, tickets' to the Entertainment Festival at the Community Building. We have raised the standard of reading by bringing good magazines within the reach of all. We have purchased rings and pins as a token to keep alive the mem- ory of our school, and we have, as Seniors, left as a token of our apprecia- tion some shrubbery to beautify the surroundings. To Mr. Miller and Mr. Franz goes much of the credit for the produc- tion of our theatrical attempts. Both our junior play, The Missing Wit- ness, and our Senior play, Thornton Wilder's unusual Our Town, leave high marks of theatrical excellence for future groups to strive for. The extravagance of our .banquet for the class of '40 will never be for- gotten, and we Wish to thank the Juniors for their most wonderful enter- tainment for us. We, the class of '41, step out into a world filled with bloodshed and hatred. Upon our shoulders and upon the shoulders of thousands like us rests the future of our great nation. May we thank God for the liberties we enjoy, and resolve in our hearts to keep Old Glory, with all the things she stands for, flying for ever and ever. You have been our friends and I am Yours, RALPH SAYLOR.
