Volume. 2 Advh, on: Haitian Hofit Edito Hi,: CaJiole Sweeten. Many Shenman 910 gonion (High School Pardon, South (Dakoia Reflections of My Life Improvements depend on communication . . . success depends upon communications. . . humanity depends upon communications. It has been said that the communications break down is the reason for the dis- turbances caused by today's youth. With this thought in mind, the students and faculty at CHS have made giant strides forward, trying to see the other parties point of view, in order to overcome the dif- ferences between them. This year like no other year has there been such a hot line between the students and faculty. Students voiced their opinions about the dress code, dances, and grading systems, through the student council. This year the student council was truly the voice of the people. Compromises were made by both parties in order to reach an area which was agreeable to both parties. Advances were made in student-teacher relationships through these issues. Not only was the student body, as a whole, and the faculty, as a whole, communicating better, but each individual student had a better relationship with his or her teacher as a result of the large group efforts. When both sides strive to improve, communications can be set up again. This is what happened at CHS this year. The students at CHS communicated best through music. This was quite evident in the popularity of dances this year. Music is the best means of communication, because there is no language barrier. Feelings. . .excitement. . .emotions, .can be expressed through music. This is why many of the songs of today reflect the feelings cf Americals youth. The students at CHS were no exception. They could identify with the ideas contained in the songs. The reason why they were so successful is because a real communication line exists. Every minute of every day can be expressed through music. The words and titles of these songs call to mind ideas or feelings which cannot be expressed any other way. More than just a book filled with pictures and brief resumes of the school, Bactrackin' is a channel of communications to let you know what CHS was like in the school year 1969-70. ■I 2 Table of Contents You've Been My Inspiration' Faculty The 1969-70 school board this past year has had many challenges as well as obstacles in their path. Led by President Dr. Freeman the board did a tremendous job. The members of the school board are. (L-R) Mrs. Lois Eneboe, Dr. Robert Freeman, Mr. Don Anderson, Mrs. erli, Mr. Bernard Schneller, and Mr. Earl Dean. Charlotte Chaon, Mr. Bud Ulrickson, Mr. Orlin Wittrig, Mr. Lloyd Mess- 6 Pictured at right is Super- intendent Mr. Earl Dean (left) discussing an important fact with asst. Supt. Bernard Sch- neller. That fact is reorgani- zation, to determine the num- ber of students in each dist- rict and where to put the stud- ents when the district joins. Many different areas must be included, the transportation, classrooms, teachers, equipment, and materials. This makes a map on the wall a very important item. CHS Good Guys This past year has been a busy one for Mr. Luther Simonson, assistant Principal, (left) and Mr. Robert Tupper, Principal. Looking at the school calendar is not al- ways pleasant, since there seems to be many activities they must plan for. This is a task along with the normal school day. It's Worth It All Those men concerned in world affairs, both past and present, were, (L-R) Dennis Jons, world geography, world history, head B-team basketball coach, and assistant football and track coach; Donald Pottratz, U.S. History and U.S. Government; Larry Jaacks, boys junior high physical ed- ucation, U.S. Government, and assist- ant football coach.

Biology and gen- eral science teacher, Robert Herting, assist- ant football and track coach, was the freshman basketball and football coach. Good Times and Bad Times As a first year Home Economics teacher, Miss Gail Colvin taught Home Economics I, II, III, and was the FHA Advisor. The Home Ec. classes helped remodel the Home Ec. room and kitchen. Miss Colvin accompanied the FHA girls to the District FHA meeting in Alcester. The FHA girls made and repaired toys for the Redfield State Hospital. Thirteen three and four year olds attended half-day nursery school during the latter part of the school year. The Home Ec. II, girls under- took the project to go along with the Child Dev- elopment Unit of their textbook. A coffee was held for the mothers of the children on the afternoon following the last day of nursery school. At the coffee a video tape was shown of the children and a report was given by Miss Col- vin as to the change the children had made dur- ing the three weeks of school. Guiding the students in making im- portant decisions for this year was Frank Tjeerdsma (left). He also con- ducts two classes of bookkeeping and administered more than 800 standarized tests to students in the year.

The Seniors have put on several productions for the entertainment of others. The senior play, A Man Called Peter, was given. It proved to be a challenge and the members of the cast did a splendid performance. We also put on a Senior Assembly which was for the enjoyment of other high school stud- ents . One of the big events of the year was this spring when the Seniors part- icipated in an Earth Day. By hauling out trash for the families in the com- munity, attention was brought on a very serious problem, pollution. This foc- used attention on the local scene, but this action was to make people aware of the problem on the city, county, state, and national level. An assembly was also put on to dramatize the grotesque problem we are facing. A special event of the year was the Banquet and Prom. The theme of the prom was Moonlight; and Roses. The banquet put on by the junior class, in honor of the senior class, was designed to the theme of Tahitian Holiday. We were honored by having an exchange student from Finland with us. The class of 1970, to show its appreciation of the help the faculty and student body has given them, presented to the school, football markers and an electric foul indicator to indicate personal and team fouls during a basketball game. 42 Student Council President, Dave Eies- land, (left) chats with foreign exchange student, Errki Eerola, about the dif- ferences in schools in the United States and Finland. Ideas were exchanged free- ly throughout the year and as a result everyone learned from this experience. Errki is a senior exchange student from Pori, Finland.

Way You are more aware of proportion now; you are close to gaining true preception of the world about you. To- day you were a senior; tonight you are a graduate. Dreams lie with the fu- ture. What do I do now? You will quiet- ly commit yourself to whatever seems right for you. Where do I go? Wherever you can best achieve your purpose. You will find yourself among others as unalike as nature and grow- ing up can make them. But all of you will have one big thing in common— YOUTH, and a desire to make the most of it. You have a job to do, a spirit to do it with, a determination to do it NOW. You want a part in shaping the world in which you live. You intend to share, you willingly give of your- self . You get out of anything only what you put in; and, in that way, the fu- ture can offer a very special charm. It is again up to you to make the fin- al marvelous difference for yourself, to make the years to come as rewarding as your Senior year. 58 You Goiri?

Having the same faith and believing that the Christian way of life is the only hope for a confused world, students at Canton High School portrayed again the origin of this faith by bringing to life the old religious master pieces of great artists, made meaningful through song and story. 69 Meet Corliss Archer Corliss Archer is a small girl with a large imagina- tion.

This year the cheer- leaders, along with their other responsibilities, spent many hours after school and in the evenings making signs and placed them around the building in order to raise the en- thusiasm of the student body before pep assemblies, as well as games. The purpose of the signs was to focus the students at- tention on the up-coming opponent and arouse more of a competitive spirit for the up-coming contest between the two schools.

If Every Voice and Sing The vocal music department was a small title which included many large groups, ensembles, soloists, and pian- ists. Large groups participating this year were the mixed chorus, the boys glee club, and the girls glee club. Many small ensembles helped interested students gain experience in their voc- al training. The vocal department was again res- ponsible for the musical background for Living Pictures, featuring tradi- tional Christmas chorals. A new happening vocally was the presentation of the winter concert. This formal program presented solo- ists, along with other vocal groups. One trip was taken to Parkston for an exchange concert. Later, the Parkston chorus gave a concert for the CHS student body. Rather untraditional this year was the spring concert. Light and popular songs were sung for the concert and each participating group dressed ac- cordingly.

The play is a biting satire on the causes and cures of poverty. The dif- ferences in the roles each character filled was pronounced by a technique devised by the class—the poor kept to the right (in the picture) and the investigating committee kept in a cluster on their side of the stage. Taking a minute out of rehearsal to pose, smilingly, at the camera are the poor, (L-R) Ruth Nutter as Carmen was a young unwed Negro mother. Janis Sinning played Rose, an impoverished housewife with six children and no husband. Mark Nelson, on ladder, was Mitch an angry young Negro. Duane Decker portrayed Mr. Helm a very old man on welfare. Hip, was the name of Dan Oakland's character. Scott Martin played a synical young man named Augie. Caught during one more try to get that right effect, is the committee. The Committee on Poverty was made up of (L-R) Dorothy Toft as Mrs. Morris, the local social worker. Mrs. Hunter, a delegate from the State's Union of Women was played by Jane Hunt. Sen- ator Roper and Mr. Chesterton dis- cussing the finances of the poor were Jeff Nelson and Jerry Soderstrom. Rev. Skagland, played by Rob Hermsen, pleaded all that was needed was re- demption.

The B Debators for this year were, (right) back row; (L-R) David Lease and Steve Heath.

With Pen in Hand To chronicle the year's events, the 25 members of the 1969-70 journalism class met every Tuesday after school to compose material to complete the bi-monthly issue. Striving for perfection, the ECHO staff spent many hours proofing, re- writing, and checking facts for auth- enticity. The final responsibility, however, was on the shoulders of the editors and the advisor. Reading over a recent issue of the ECHO are co-ed- itors, Karen Eiesland and Lois Elster. Advising them on any problems that may arise is Dick Van Holland, journalism advisor. 116 The staff members in their natural habitat, the news office, are going through their usual routine of setting up print and check- ing the issue for a final time before it goes to press. Another local meeting place for the staff was the back room of the office education department. The staff mem- bers for the 1969-70 school year were, front row, (L-R) Jane Hunt, Karen Eie- sland, and Lois Elster. Second row; Dave Eiesland, Cynthia Stearns, Julie Irons, Tacey Eneboe, Michele Stearns, and Clyde Schwarting. 117 Harlan Hoff is in his second year as annual advisor.

Funny How Time Slips Away Putting an annual together is a series of many events. Beginning with taking pictures, planning pages, and then it is to fit the two together. The last part of the previous sentence is what takes all the time. As you see we have a record to match with the 1968-69 Backtrackin', which received the All-State Award. During the two and one half weeks following school, these pictures give you only a brief idea of the volumous and painstaking work that is expended by many. We hope you enjoy the 1969-70 Backtrackin' Thank You!
