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!

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.
