H. S. With her students so brave and true, May she ever stand for the right, And be ready and willing to do. In times of our games or in class, May our loyalty be the same: Upholding, protecting, defending, And guarding her honored name. Then here's to our H. S. of C. To her may we e'er be true, At home or when we're far away, Let us pay her the tribute due. Her colors of red and of white Fill our- hearts with the loyal love, For they stand for the truth and the right, As proudly they wave above.

SMITH DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1939, dedicate this volume of The Flashu jointly to Mrs. Agnes Gloeser and Mr. Frank W. Smith, who for twenty and fifteen years, respectively, have helped students of Canton High School over the difficult steps which arise during school days. We hope, by the dedication of this volume, in some degree to express our appreciation of them and their work. -7: :Q 'rs x fllElJIl A lllgI6NlOlh' ' W' ' 'W M 'CliNE'5E'EfE'Enf'EEE55i nu-,nn...n : 1 5 : : :-I-n: :: A ,J -11-f: t 1: ':7: U ti :Q :: 'ut 1: : A-14: nl-all-1 - .....b -1, Ti:IjL:A lViQfo11I BE A H4 6A1l1'fo1i1 2-IIEII-E sTCIT16'0i .

Tcddg S. F. Hoerer, Secretaryg C. C. Willsg H. H. Zenge, President. To the school board we extend our heartiest thanks. Through their efforts, Canton High School is one of the outstanding schools in this part of the country. This year, extensive improvements have been made possible by the obtaining of a PWA grant of 38,181.00 and the issuance of bonds to the amount of S10,000.00, making a total of S18,181.00. With this money the board has supervised the following projects: installing a new heating system, buying new desks, laying new floors, rewiring the - building, putting in lighting fixtures, adding filing equipment and basket lockers, ex- tending the stage and adding new equipment in the various departments. We were sorry to lose Mr. Eldon Perry this year, but we are glad to welcome Mr. Ross Collins, whom we feel will carry on in the same spirit of the other members. Many of the members have devoted quite a few years to the interests of the boys and girls of the Canton Public Schools and we want them to know we really appreciate it. -EF: .

In the year 1928, a group of thirty-five small children with their mamas went to the First Grade. There we were met by Miss Pauline Kiess, who taught us as much as possible in the first year of school. Of this group, fourteen are graduating together this year. Some have left our class for a few years, but they found it possible to come hack to graduate with us. Those original fourteen are: David Bash, Elizabeth Barth, Mamie Boulware, George Constantz Jr., Mildred Carroll, Tommy Moore, Howard Rosen- thal, Audra Sullivan, Norma Mayfield, Anna Henry, Dorothy Tompkins, John Willsg Mary Adaline Perry, and Robert Zahn. As the group progressed along the rungs of the ladder, each teacher did her best: Miss Pauline Kiess, Miss Leta Schlager, Miss Louise Shanks, Miss Merle Shore, Miss Hallie Katherman, and Miss Anna Mae Birch. To these we give our thanks. Entering Junior High School added new experiences as well as. new students to our number. It was here that Mrs. Margaret Meek, Mr. Colman Winn, and Mrs. Viola Brown directed our schooling. Margaret K. Bertram, Dallas Davis, Dorothy Gruber, Gaynell Hagen, Ruth Milburn, and Anna Laura Thompson were our new classmates. In 1935, we entered High School as Freshmen. With the addition of the rural students as well as others, our number exceeded that of any other class in school. The new students were Howard Carskadon, Kenneth Hayden, Margaret L. Bertram, Wilma Bertram, Annabel Day, Herman Hulsebus, Homer T. Kimberly, Jo Gruber, Wilma Gruber, Doris Marks, Reid Stone, Jean McClain, and Velma Weatherby. During our other three years the following students have joined the group: Sopho- more year-Howard Frye, Lillian Heckrodt, Bob Wehrmann, and Jimmy Yagerg Junior year-Frances Riggle and Beth Riskg Senior year-Robert Hutchinson.

The occasion of this telecast is the fifteenth anniversary of the gradua- tion of the Canton High School Class of 1939. To begin the evening's program, each of the class will be presented to you, and each will tell you where he or she is now, and what he or she is doing. The first to telecast, naturally, is Mr. Ellis, sponsor of the class. He doesn't look a day older. He has been State Superintendent of Schools in Missouri for two years. Congratulations on your rise in the world, Mr. Ellis. We knew you had it in you! Thank you, Anna. Did anyone lose this handkerchief? . . . Shall we recall a day fifteen years ago? On that day, very few of the people now here had any intention, of being what they now are, or looking as they now do. I see Harry J. Thompson is the next person to be introduced. 'I-Ieh-heh-heh. Here is Harry J., folks, just back from the Congo, where he was fhief ofka Zulu Mission. Several monkeys seem to have adopted him 3 hence Mr. Ellis' itt e jo e. Hello, everyone. I'd like to apologize for my appearance. My monkeys won't leave me. They regard me as a brother, and won't go away, so they go wherever I go. The Class of '39 has risen in the world. Here is Tommy Moore, just down from a wor!d's-record balloon ascension. Hello, folks. This solid earth under my feet feels good. I suppose everyone knows that I am now an aviator with the hobby of ballooning. Here comes Margaret L. Bertram. She has just been elected National President of the 4-H Club. Hello, Margie. How are the 4-Hers? , Just fine. Never better. ' And just behind Margaret L. is Homer T. Kimberley. He has been Vice President of the F. F. A. for sometime. Rumor has it that he audi Margie are seeing a. lot of' each other. How's Washington, D. C., Homer? A little excited over the Second Armistice. But of course that's a little out of my line. But it's right in Senatress Day's line. Hello, Annabel! How's the war situation? I don't know. I've been too busy filibustering on the Twenty-Dollar Bill. Ask John Wills-here he is. ' Hello, John. I've been trying to find out something about the war situation. 'You came to the right person. I'm known as the Brains behind the Lines. You look to me like the Chest Behind the Medals. What's all that tinware about? Oh, they just couldn't find anyone else to hang it on. And your chest was nice and broad and handy? Modest as ever! Here comes: Dorothy Gruber. Maybe we can find out from her. Gruber, why's John so decorated? Personal courage, bravery under fire, heroic deeds, life-saving, and good excuses for A. W. O. L. Sounds like old times. Here comes-catch your breath, folks!-Flossie Bertram, Queen of Movieland. Here she is, smile and all! Speech, Flossie, Speech! I believe I owe much of my success in Hollywood to the nickname settled upon me by my classmates, and I wish to take this opportunity to thank them. Don't faint, Tommy. She has changed, hasn't she? Flossie has brought her King along. Hello, Audra. How does it feel to be a Glamour Boy? I don't like it. I'd much rather dwell in obscurity. Is he the modest King! Y Pm trying to persuade Flossie to retire. I want to raise-er-chickens and pigs. Wait till she's a little olderg then she will want to retire. Good luck. Audra. Here are Frances Riggle and Herr Violin. I hear you're giving us a solo tonight, Frances. Is that right? Eet ees right, but nevair call heem a solo! He ees a duette-my violin and- I shall play togethaire. Get me? Yes. Have you been studying in Paris, Frances? Oni, oui! And muchness have I learned. Obviously. Even the accent. What is that noise, Dallas? That's the Sunset Special. The one that follows the sun? Yes. Wait till you see who is on it. I am President of the Line! Celebrities! travel on our lines.

The Tigers began their season in a slump by meeting defeat in their second game at the hands of Willfamstown, 29-31. They rallied, however, and easily went through the Lewis County Tournament, held at Culver-Stockton College, to first place. The second game after the tournament, Canton was again downed at Mendon, Illinois, to the tune of-15-30. After that, they ran up quite a string of straight victories. During this reign of power, Canton Went to Louisiana and easily took the tourna- ment. As a result, they added another first place trophy to the exhibit this year. They came home in a haze of self-satisfaction and again were downed in an overtime game by Kirksville, score 20-18. Earlier in the season, they beat Kirksville on their own floor by a margin of 10 points. Some outsanding victories were: Williamstown at Canton, defeated by a score of 63-5g Mendon, Illinois, at Canton, defeated by a score of 35-28. After closing the Tigers' schedule with a victory at Quincy, the Tigers went into hard training. This included no hours past 9:00 p. m. and staying out of restaurants. dance halls, and drug stores. They were rewarded by taking first at the Memp-h's4 Regional Tournament. This allowed the Tigers to attend the B Class State Tourna- ment at Springfield. They trained and practiced until March 8, when they left for Springfield where they played Thursday at 1:00 p. m. Canton had light competition in all three previous tournaments, but the Tigers met their Waterloo in the first game of the State Tournament at the hands of Lead- wood. Leadwocd attended the State Tournament last year and won two games. They lost only one man through graduation. They proved to be too strong competition and Canton lost her fourth and last game of the season to Leadwood by a score of 29-33. 6 5' f :za-at Ti1IjL:A'Visfo1i1oE I 1 1 f 5 1 :6Ai1tEo111 Quail SZCQOOL BOYS' RECORD THE CANTON HTIGERS' SCHEDULE FOR 1938-39 A Canton Opp0nel1i3 1 October 19 Lewistown at Canton - ---- - - - - 33 10 2 October 21 Williamstown at Williamstown - - - - -- 329 31 3 October 25 LaBelle at LaBelle --------- 38 5 4 October 28 Monticello at Canton -------- 38 25 LEWIS COUNTY TOURNAMENT AT CANTON 5 November 2 Ewing at Culver-Stockton Gym ---- 38 21 6 November 4 Steffenville at Culver Gym - ----- 31 27 7 November 4 LaGrange at Culver Gym ------ 25 12 8 November 11 LaGrange at LaGrange - -- ----- 28 26 9 November 23 Mendon at Mendon, Ill. ------- 315 30 10 December 2 Emerson at Canton -------- 41 10 11 December 9 Hull, Ill., at Canton - - ------ 27 25 12 December 16 Williamstown at Canton ------ 63 5 13 December 21 Hannibal at Hannibal ------- 23 18 111 January 6 Hull, Ill., at Hull ---- ---- - 49 21 15 January 13 Kirksville at Kirksville ---- - - -- 31 21 16 January 21 Mendon, Ill., at Canton ------- 35 27 17 January 25 Hannibal at Canton -------- 30 21 18 January 27 LaBelle at Canton -------- 57 10 19 February 3 Quincy Reserves at Canton ------ 27 ,22 LOUISIANA INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT LOUISIANA 20 February 9 Tilden at Louisiana ------- - 32 12 21 February 10 .Fulton at Louisiana -------- 33 27 22 February 11 Hannibal B at Louisiana Cchampionshipj - 28 16 '23 February 13 LaGrange at Canton ------- 24 15 24 February 17 Kirksville at Canton -------- 1318 20 25 February 20 Quincy Reserves at Quincy, Ill. ---- 26 22 B CLASS REGIONAL TOURNAMENT AT MEMPHIS 26 March 2 Kahoka at Memphis - - '- - - ---- 23 9 27 March 3 Marceline at Memphis fforfeitedj ---- - 2 V 0 28 March 4 Unionville at Memphis - - - - -4- - -- -- 20 13 29 March 4 Novinger at Memphis Cchampionshipj - - - 34 14 B CLASS STATE TOURNAMENT AT SPRINGFIELD 30 March 9 Leadwood at Springfield ------- 329 , 33 Games Lost A 1 1 , W 1 W 4 -E- , , , W Y Y f Y f Q .E iliililillIii!illllll-1lll1'lllllTllTllTlIT1illl1lTZllll4Tr TELL A VISION OF me CANTON HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SQUAD AND REGULARS i r l I s 1 l f 3 GIRLS BASKETBALL REGULARS - A A A I W ' Jean McClain, Jean Golden, Dorothy Tompkins, Elizabeth Mae Barth, Ruth Milburn, Mr. Albert Brown, Coach.

Thirty-six girls reported for practice, in September, each with hopes of gaining a position on the team. Of course, all of the girls did not succeed in getting a position, but all of them should he commended for their faithfulness in coming out to practice each day of the season. This year's first team included: Wilma Bertram-Guard-2 letters Ruth Milburn-Guard-1 letter Mary Wehrmann-Guard-1 letter Dorothy Gruber-Center-3 letters Jean Golden-Center-1 letter Margaret L.

They were handicapped from the beginning by losing five lettermen last spring, but they soon overcame this. v The team of 1939-40 may have an equally bad start as they will lose five of the first team, but there are many good prospects in the Sophomore and Junior Classes: so we wish them the greatest success. The schedule for 1938-39 was as follows: 19 25 October Canton , Lewistown 12 October 21 Canton 14, Williamstown 40 October 25 Canton 20, LaBelle 18 October 28 Canton 20, Monticello 15 November 11 Canton 25, LaGrange 23 December 2 Canton 44, Emerson 18 December 14 Canton 39, Rensselaer 31 December 16 Canton 34, Williamstown 21 January 27 Canton 19, LaBelle 12 February 10 Canton 20, Quincy-Gem City 21 February 15 Canton 21, LaGrange 12 ' 'I-ELII A 6151615011 C ' 'n- 'EiEi?6:13'Ti'EE:'siEE Hoof ' 2 - 1.3 Y 17, I :L : 7 11, 1 1 - , - i I ' l 7 1 t 1 : 1 Y 'Sa :ef::::2:...::L :Li-1 2,5-nf'-,zf-:-:f::n1n:u TELL A VISION OF T-'E ' CANTON HIGH SCHOOL I : f ' ' ' 6 ' lk?

Appearances this year have included: the Music Assembly, the Kirksville Music Festival, the State Music Festival at Columbia, the Annual Spring Concert, and Bac- calaureate. Professor Raymond R.

TELL:ALVISIOI1T be ' i pastor are sam gg COLUMBIA STATE MUSIC 1 On April 29, eighty-three students of the Music Department made the trip to the State Music Festival at Columbia. It was a day long to be remembered by all, being one of the biggest successes Canton High School has ever known. Three ratings of Excellent, two of Superior, one of Superior minus, and one of Good were received. The day was started by the Orchestra playing in Jesse Auditorium at 9:25 a. m. Much joy was expressed when the rating of I was posted. This started the day off with added pep and enthusiasm for all. At 11:40 a. m., the Mixed Chorus sang in its best style in the Educational Audito- rium. A rating of III was received which carried some disappointment but cheer was added when to the surprise of everyone all of the choruses received III's with the ex- ception 'of one --which received a rating of II. Then at 12:30 p. ln. in the large Field House where sound just rose and drifted away. the Band played their pieces, being stopped in the finishing pages because of the limited amount of time allowed. A II minus was received. By this time everyone was weak with hunger and a mad rush was made for food. Being strengthened by a little nourishment, the Brass Sextet went to Room 320 in Lathrop Building at 3:00 p. m. to play to the tune of a I. The Girls Glee Club then wearily sauntered back to the Educational Auditorium where they rendered their numbers at 3:40 to the best of their ability. A rating of II was added to the list of achievements. At 4:00 p. m., the Mixed Quartet appeared at Lathrop Auditorium. They deserve special notice for the II they received was the highest rating given. Only one other school besides Canton received a II, all others being lower. At 5:48 p. m., Canton put on the finishing touches when the Girls Quartet sang in Room 214 in Lathrop Building for which they received a I. Since Canton High School has never participated to a very great extent in these meets, it was a step forward in its history. The three organizations with Excellent ratings, the Orchestra, the Brass Sextet, and the Girls Quartet, were eligible for the- National Music Festival at Colorado Springs, Colorado. This was something which has never been possible before. Much credit should be given Prof. Martin and Prof. Young for their excellent work this year.

It is mimeographed every two weeks. It is financed through advertising and subscription fees both of which have been at a minimum. This year several new features have been added. We have a classy new red cover, the design of which has been changed each semester. We have added headlining for the more important news. The gossip page remains one of the chief attractions. The sport page has been emphasized as a separate section.

It has been the custom to elect a Senior as president. The officers are: President--Norma Mayfield Vice President-Jimmy Yager Secretary-Anna Mae Durkee Treasurer-Gene Branson Reporter-Betty Jo Boulware Sponsor-Mr. Ellis SERVICE CLUB The Service Club, a permanent organization of C.H.S., has as its purpose promot- ing worthwhile activities and projects for the benefit of the student body such as spon- soring assemblies, activity nights, etc. Membership in the club is limited to those who render service to the school at least two periods a week without remuneration.

The aims are four-fold: 1. To provide opportunity for experience in carrying responsibilities. 2. To combine educational, social, and business interests. 3. To develop team work and friendship. 4. To promote democracy in the school. Some of the things included in our calendar for the year are: 1. Served lunches for the undernourished children in the first four grades for eight weeks. The Parent-Teachers' Association and the Kiwanis Club furnished funds to make this project possible. Many mothers sent canned goods. 2. Conducted the Wooden Shoei' Tea Room at the School Fair. 3. Served lunch for the F. F. A. Poultry School. 4. Gave the faculty, school board members and their wives a dinner. 5. Honored the mothers of the Home Economics Club members with a supper. 6. Served lunch at the Rural School Meet. 7. Held a Tea for the former graduates of the Home Economics Department. An experimental District Meeting was held in Kirksville in the spring. All Home Economics students from Canton, Edina, Memphis, Unionville, Milan, and Kirksvillel were invited. Each school took part in the program. There was also a luncheon for the three hundred girls and a Tea Dance. The meeting was called to stimulate interest in Home Projects. The meeting was so successful that they will be held in all districts in the state. Our main project for the last two years has been to complete our silverware service. We have done this by saving coupons and selling candy during the noon hours. XVe have service of twenty-eight pieces for each of our four unit kitchens.

Soon after school was started the club was organized under the direction of Mrs. Gloeser, to give the students experience in play production. One-act plays were studied the first semester, two being presented in assembly. They were: A Bunch of Roses and King Sargon's Jars. ' Mrs. Owen, a cadet teacher from Culver-Stockton, assumed the sponsorship the second semester. The elements behind play production were studied during this time, such as prompt books, stage terminology, and make-up. Visits to the dramatic depart- ment at Culver-Stockton were interesting as well as educational. Several plays have been presented at different times during the second semester. King Sargon's Jars and Peace and Quiet were presented at the School Fair. Many students through this class have gained knowledge which may aid them in choosing a life work later on.

This was the largest in the three years of the School Fair. There was SOIHE 3103.50 expense, thusl leaving a total of 320181. Among the attractions were the Dramatic Club productions of King Sargon's Jars, presented Thursday night with a cast of: John Oliver Spencer, Jim Adams, Elizabeth Barth, June Risk, and Omer Curtis. The second production, presented Friday night, was Peace and Quiet, with Loran Snodgrass, Rosemary Johnson, Anna Mae Durkee, Bill Drury, and Glennau Glisan. The Musical Comedy, Shooting Stars, presented by the High School Chorus, was also an outstanding success. The cast was too large' for the amount of space allowed for this article. Other attractions were: The Home Ec. Department Dutch Windmill, the Old Wooden Shoe, the P.-T. A. Stand, the Telegraph Station, the Souvenir Stand, ther Dart Stand, and the Fish Pond, not to speak of the Leapin' Lena. For the third consecutive year, the Class of '39 has placed its King and Queen on the throne of honor at the All School Fair. Norma Mayfield was first to receive this honor in 19375 Jimmy Yager and Jean McClain in 19383 and Audra Sullivan and Vlfilma Bertram in 1939. The candidates from the other classes were: Turley Perry and Georgia Ray Mil- burn from the Freshman, Bill Baxter and Velma Taylor from the Sophomores, 'Wayne Owsley and Jean Golden from the Juniors. The King and Queen election cleared a total of 312991, with the Senior Clash adding 843.00 of this and the Juniors S34.00. The election was held in a sp-ortsmanlike manner with each class trying to outwit the others. The Freshmen jumped off to a good lead the first day with the Sopho- mores-very close. The final outcome, however, showed the Seniors victorious. The Fair was enjoyed by everyone and it is hoped that it will be as big a success next year.

Its membership is not limited to any one class, but includes students from all four years. The Stamp Club meets every Wednesday, the fifth period, under the supervision of Mrs. Agnes Gloeser. Some of the activities of the group are: trading of stamps, study of the origin of stamps, map study, reports on foreign countries, islands, and inhabitants. The officers of the Stamp Club are- President-John Oliver Spencer Secretary-Harold Lee Wagner Reporter-Glenn Fisher Q TONETTE 'CLASS The Tonette is a Pre-Band instrument. It has a beautiful tone, is in tune, and has a range of a little more than the common scale. The scale is taken from the com- monly used Boehm clarinet and is very similar to that of the saxophone, flute, oboe, and other woodwind instruments. The technique of playing gives the foundation to playing brass instruments also. There are 48 enrolled in the class this year, 30 from the Third and Fourth Grades and 18 from the Fifth and Sixth Grades. The Tonette training is likely to increase the size of our beginning instruments class, due to the interest shown in playing instruments. It is likely that the class' will increase in the Third and Fourth Grades next year, and the Fifth and Sixth Grades will he playing actual instruments. In this class the students play pieces from the start, many of which are two- and three-part harmony, from compositions with which they are very familiar. This year the class has played for High School and Grade Assemblies, a P.-T. A. Program, the Lewis County Rural School Meet, and will probably play an evening concert.

I Bong, Bong, Bong Announcer: Greetings, everybody. We speak to you now in behalf of Lucas County Teachers College, which presents this fifteen-minute program at this time each Sunday. Today, as is our habit at this season, we will interview some new stu- dents of the College who have just enrolled for the fall term. First I'll introduce to all you friends, this charming young lady on the first row. WVhat is your name, Miss? Young Lady: Ferne Brinkley, and I graduated from Canton High School last spring, and won a jitterbug contest, too. 4 Announcer: That's fine, Miss Brinkley. Now, if you will just stand a little closer to the microphone and dispose of your chewing gum, we will continue. Why did you come to college? Ferne: I came to be went with, but I ain't yet, dern it. Gaynell Hagen, she's my friend, and me are going to be nurses. Maybe I'll catch a real rich patient kind of off guard, you know,-first thing you know, I may be Mrs. Van Snort or something with a REAL bankroll. Announcer: Thank you very much, Miss Brinkley. Now, young man, what is your name? Young Man: Howard Rosenthal, and I graduated from Canton High School, too. Announcer: And what do you think of Lucas County Teachers? Howard: Well, I don't know but one. She's the little blonde who teaches the fourth grade here in Roseburg, and I think she's swell. I've only had one date with her. but she told me to just call her Matilda. Gosh! Announcer: I am afraid you misunderstood, Mr. Rosenthal. I refer to the TEACHERS COLLEGE. Howard: Oh! Well, I like it, too, except it hasn't got a new Men's Domicile like Colored Stocking, back where I come from. Announcer: Thank you very much, Mr. Rosenthal. Now I see before me another young lady. What is your name, Miss? Young Lady: My name is Anna Henry, and I, too, graduated from that fine High School in Canton and with highest academic honors. I was diligent, conscientious, and faithful in my studies, and my excellent grades show it. I intend to continue my scho- lastic efforts where I left off in High School, and will undoubtedly make the highest grades possible. That is all I have to say for the present. Announcer: Well, uh, thank you very much, Miss Henry. Now, young man, what is your name? Young Man: George Constantz, Jr. Announcer: You are also from Canton? George: You are doggone right, I am. I was center of the basketball team there, and we had one good team, I tell you. Want me to tell you how I made ten points against LaGrange. our arch-rivals from down the crick? It was like this. There were LaGrange players to the right of me, LaGrange players to the left of me, and I was wide open under the basket. I shot. scored a beautiful basket which started our rally, and we went on to win that game and many others- Announcer: I am sorry folks, but our time is up. I am sure that you all have enjoverl this little visit with some nf our Canton freshmen. I am sorry that we don't have time to interview them all. Be seeing you next week!

Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all. Mary had a little lamb, A lobster and some prunes, A glass of milk, a piece of pie, And then some macaroons. It made the naughty waiters grin To see her order so. And when they carried Mary out, Her face was white as snow. Where's your pencil, Loran? Ain't got one, Miss Branson. How many times have I told you not to say that? Listen: I haven't a pencil, we haven't one, they haven't one- Well, where are all the pencils? Mr. Ellis: Now if I subtract 25 from 37, what's the difference? Tom Stow: Yeah! That's what I say. Who cares? Virginia W.: Is that pick-pocket a friend of yours?
