M, s-x i -a 'LA ll!! FOREWORD Canfield High School denotes wisdom, friendship, spirit, organizations, training, fun and the buildings themselves. The characteristics of these structures will remain with each student long after he leaves. Wisdom gained here will always be a part of him. The new look which the school is gradu- ally taking on will always reflect a longing for tomorrow. It is with these thoughts that the staff offers these memories. 1939 1952 1952 17- XS 1871 -1956 jifkfizicA20vm44,fxf4,Af4QM2Qf lgmemgnhy I. . frm? 202751. . . fairly Zzfgra' QZIIZUTFUZL 1952 1956 -WZOPZCJ fww l !V A, . xx ,ah 'Ns-.

His loyalty and devotion to both students and school will always be remembered. Mr. Lynn was very humble, which is a test of a truly great man. He saw something good in every person and was endlessly merciful. CO-WORKERS The successful operation of the school depends upon the work of its many employees. Bus drivers, represented by Howard Lynn, furnish transportation for students to and from school and also to activities away from Canfield, Paul Frederick, school engineer, has charge of the care of the building. The aches and pains of the students are eased by the school nurse, Mrs. Audrey Arnold, while the planning and serving of well-balanced lunches is done by Mrs. Hilda Booth, cafeteria manager.

Some people love music, others are intensely devoted to sports, while still others get pleas- ure out of simply serving their fellow men. As one of its many outstanding points, CHS offers an excellent activity schedule. It is designed to meet the needs of every type of person. With these activities there is great interest and enthusiasm is living today. J 7 fa Q, I t X , , FQ.-ali ' 'Ja -3 '. 'I!', 1-. 1-. A SEATED: A.

THE TOP-K OTTER Putting out a yearbook that we can proudly show to our friends with the words: 'tYes, that's MY school, is the job of the Top-Knotter staff. Several weeks after school begins the staff starts to work, labors increas- ingly, then ends the year with a feeling of satisfaction that Canfield High has another fine yearbook to add to its tradition. The annual this year has an increased number of pictures and a dif- ferent layout from any previous book. The cover is in an attractive color with a picture of the two separate buildings that are now used. Many of the new ideas in this 1956 yearbook were learned by Jack Hampton, editor, and Jeff Jones while attending the workshop on high school publications at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. CROPPING AND PASTING PICTURES is a typical layout scene in publishing The Top-Knotter. DISCUSSING A FACT learned at the workshop for ff P - , if ' school publications are Jones and Hampton, editor.

Fi ...Nba CARDIN AL Behind every issue of the Cardinal lies writing, reporting, research, writing heads, proof-reading and, of course, meeting deadlines. How- ever, the work has many compensations. Members of the staff will not soon forget the knowledge they have gained or the experiences they have enjoyed. After attending the workshop on high school publications at Ohio University, Athens, in June, the staff immediately began working on the first issue of the newspaper for the school year 1955-56, this issue was published on the opening day of the term. At the annual banquet for the Cardinal Staff, the guest speaker was Miss Verda Evans, English Supervisor of Cleveland Schools.

They worked at the reserve basketball games. Cheers at the football and varsity basketball games were led by the varsity cheerleaders, Donna Dunning. Karen Hult, Sue Renkenberger and Phyllis Yarrow.

FOOTB LL Although the 1955 football season may be termed a not too success- ful one, the gridiron boys are still respected as an ever hopeful threat to other schools. Building for the future was the basis of the 1955 football philosophy at Canfield High. Winning' only two games, the Cardinals were not without honors. Dick Baird and Arthur Hough were named on the Inter-County League All-Star Team, because of their ability on the field with their team's backing. wi' W C A Chalk Talk is given by Coach Francis McLaugh- lin and Assistant Coach James -Jarvis to Co-captains Tolerton and Baird.

VARSITY BA KETBALL Certainly no season held more heartbreak for a basketball team than the 1955-56 one did for the Canfield Cardinals. The first twelve games played were lost. However, the season was not without its high moments. Staging a great comeback, the cagers won five of the last six games. Tension and hope soared high as tournament time neared. The first round of the Class A Sectional Tournament was won from East Palestine. As the Cardinals advanced into the second round, Poland edged them out of the tournament by six tallies. Every game was played with a spirit and a will of which any school could rightfully be proud. An old Chinese proverb says that he who ad- mits incapacity is on the road to success. No one can say that this year we had no right to yell: Fight, team, fight!

YOU CAN 'T TAKE IT WITH YOU This Broadway comedy, written by Moss Hart and George S. Kauf- man, kept the audience in suspense after seeing the wealthy, high-hat Kirbys descend the social ladder to the level of the eccentric Sycamore family. Grandpa, the old philosopher, really kept the action moving, DePinna and his fireworks, which set things off with a bang, will never be forgotten. In order to give more students a chance to participate, the play was presented two nights with a double cast of girls.

It has been a happy journey with many varied activities and with a fac- ulty who has guided our happy footsteps and brightened the pathway we have trod. We have loitered here and there where classes have been particularly generous to us in their many opportunities. Now we look with reverence and humility at the rooms in the Union Building where classes have been held for the last time. Our school days have been full of pleasure, our greatest joy having come from the Warm comradeship of working and playing to- gether. We hope you, too, have enjoyed this book of memories. In closing, we say, as our neigh- bors in Mexico say, Hasta la vista! until we see you againg may all God's gifts be for you and yours all the days to come. as ,Hg Q 1 1 4
