Qur Book of Knovvfeolge Chapter- I - Chapters II - I - Chapter- V Chapteri IV In September of 1942 the cover of our book of four chapters was opened officially but gently. The characters land I do mean charactersj had a very strange idea that they were going to whiz thru the next four years-that is until they bumped into a few little things like Latin, algebra, general science, and English. But as the year went by something must have pene- trated our gray matter for many obtained high ratings in scholarship. Our heroes and heroines humbled themselves by saluting their su- periorsf 'IJ the sophomores. They hadn't realized that there were so many different salutes. We regained our faith in mankind, however, when the Sophs gave us a super party. This year our heroes looked very promising in the athletic field. Now it is our turn to give it to those little freshmen. Aren't they inferior to us older sophomores? The end of this year found high rates again, in sports and scholar- ship. Our third year-one to go. We reallystarted this year off with a bang Cpopl. The sale of magazines excelled all other class goals. Just about ev- eryone in town was asked the same question,- Want to buy a subscrip- tion-huh '? Athletics fiourished and our heroes and heroines became actors and actresses in the Junior Play, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. The year ended with the Junior-Senior Prom at Congress Lake on May fifth-a grand end for a grand year. The last chapter of our book is filled with excitement, work, dreams of the future and yes, even love fpuppy lovel. Don't Take My Penny, The Westinghouse Test, Debate and Speech Contests and also the sports were only a few of the highlights which will always be remembered. On the last page is found the memories and thrills of the last Junior- Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, and Graduation, the greatest of all days. This m-ay be the end of our book here at North Canton High but a sequel will be written in college, in business, and in homes in the future years. Twenty
