Within these pages come alive the congenial and informal atmosphere attributed to the life at Canton High School. Success, happi¬ ness, and melancholy are exemplified through such events as beating Waynes- ville, attending pep rallies, having fresh¬ man day, and graduating. In the future when your high school years seem dim, we hope that this annual will rekindle the memories of C. H. S. 1962- 63. 7 ie jifacJz 73ear S a fj 4 Con en s ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS 5 57 GJfS. cue re me ml) er mucn .

The sponsors, Mrs. Churm and Mrs. Hyde, along with Assistant Ed¬ itor David Owen, wait anxiously while Editor Cathy Hall checks on delivery date of the annuals. Business Manager Blaine Hawkins, was caught in his usual pose--col- lecting money from Copy Editor Robin Scroggs, Lay-Out Editor Pat Edwards, and Photography Editor Nancy Scott. The underclassmen members of the staff-Martha Walker, Carolyn Mash- burn, Becky White, Robert Sutten- field, Rose Trantham, and Hannah Williams-look over a list of sub¬ scriptions. V ■ -w-v- Wm. for all she has done for us, because she is such a wonderful person and makes every¬ one love to be around her, we the annual staff of Canton High School lovingly dedicate the 1963 BLACK BEAR to Mrs. Aurelia Cathey. Mrs. Cathey is an expert on Roman literature, culture, and language. She has the dubious pleasure of taking her Latin classes to Raleigh to the Junior Classical League Convention. 13 BSSWSt Mr. Bill Driver Dr. H. A.

They are eliminated by trying out before members of the faculty. After the eliminations, the remaining girls are voted up¬ on by the student body. The number of new cheerleaders each year de¬ pends upon the number graduating. To attend all football and basketball games, to make posters for the games, to plan assembly programs, and to practice during the summer for at least two weeks are some of the duties of the cheerleaders. Their main purpose is to create a good school spirit. Displaying their red pom-poms that add much to their cheers are Nancy Smathers, Robin Cabe, Zoolie Wright, Lynn Henline, Head Cheerleader Aileen Massie, Robin Welte, Carolyn Huffman, Sandy Brooks, Joyce Abbott, and Sharon Boydston. 109 CJ ie 1962 jC acJ?
