It is a fast moving world and after gradu¬ ation we may never again see one another. Each will go his different way but he will take with him everywhere the experiences and values that he has acquired during his years at Canton High School. Therefore we wish to let this annu¬ al be representative of the values that we cherish.

One of their most effective teaching methods is by the example that they set. Teachers are and must be honorable and responsible people. They must be good sports and most of all good leaders. In additionto teaching they devote time to school activities after 3:00. Many of our teachers sponsor clubs and two act as sponsors for the Junior and Senior Classes.

On friendship What is true friendship? It is a priceless gift that few people are able to give. A friend is one who really cares what happens to you and who has your own best interest at heart. To be capable of steady friendship and last¬ ing love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart but of st rength of mind.

We were initiated into high school by having to wear our clothes inside out but the Freshman Party given in our honor seemed to makeup for everything. A good number of us joined the Latin Club and soon became Slaves for a Day. The trip to Raleigh for the Latin Club Convention proved to be very memorable. After our many escapades and the party Terry Sanford threw at the Sir Walter Raleigh, we could not seem to keep our eyes open at the conven¬ tion. This year introduced us to the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner”- water, water, everywhere. We observed Twirp Week with enthusiasm and those who did not were brought before the Kangaroo Court. Our sophomore year was better. Now we could persecute fora change and we took full advantage of that fact on Slave Day. At the Latin Club Banquet there was one squirt gun to every three people. In literature we buried Caesar and even spoke at his funeral. Silas Marner taught us that hoarding money will certainly not assure one of a happy life. John Glenn orbited the earth and Kennedy won a close battle for the Presidency. Ben Casey” started a fad and soon the school was swarming with doctors. Remember this year was the beginning of the dangerous dance--the twist. How many times were we warned that it would dislocate our knees, hips, and backs! Instead of the windblown look, this was the year of the hurricane look--teasing hair. How could we ever forget the Teachers ' Basketball Game! That was worth a quarter plus a million laughs. However, this year had its tragedies also, the sale ofpop- sicles at lunch was stopped. There is some debate as to w he the r or not the tear gas bomb was a tragedy, but it must have been because everyone was crying. f After a summer of eating v at: the Little Boy, we returned to school as juniors. The schedules were changed and we didn ' t float anymore. We became increasingly nervous as the Cuban Crisis came to a head, and we lost a lot of class mates by marriage. This year gave us our first experience in a Powder Puff football game. Although the junior and senior girls tied 0 to 0, the event was a huge success with the presentation of a Home¬ coming Court and a Homecoming Queen. After selling hose all fall, we made enough money for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Everyone had fun decorating for the prom whether they attended or not. As with water, water everywhere in the ninth grade and squirt guns in the tenth grade, this year we had a great flood. One very exciting event during our junior year was the Waynesville football game. It was a close 3 to 0, but the Black Bears were victorious. The time had come at last! Now we were the seniors, and we were the ones that supposedly ran the school. It was time to think seriously about our futures. What will it be we ask ourselves, marriage, college, or service? Those going to college had to take the dreaded College Boards and fill out applications. This was the year of long lunch lines, increased effort for grades, and hopes for a Washington trip. The band, majorettes, and cheerleaders received new uni forms after much effort. W e waited in anticipation for our cherished class rings. As usual the Waynesville game was quite exciting, but this year the score was a tie, 7 to 7. A glamorous Homecoming Queen reigned over the Powder Puff football game, which the seniors won 0 to 6. We became guests of honor at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Then came graduation and we were no longer students at Canton High School. The past is full of wonderful memories, but now 39 Senior Directory SHARON ALEXANDER - Vocational Course; Latin 1,2; Choral; F.H.A. 4; BEAR TRACKS; Prom Decorating Com¬ mittee.

We ' re glad we aren ' t passengers, say the school bus drivers, B. T. Green, David Gaddy, Harvey Worley Richard Hendrix, Weldon Clark, Dean Willis, Jack Stephenson, Bobby Messer, and Jimmy Thompson. Bus Drivers These, the bus drivers are entrusted with the responsibility of taking students safely to and from school. They are expected to be on time in all kinds of weather - snow, rain, sleet, or ice. Think of having to drive a whole bus - load of students; it could get quite nerveracking having so many backseat drivers. Neither is it fun being a bus driver when the time comes to put on chains or change a flat tire. These boys do cheerfully a necessary and very important job. 9n (jalent and Skill There are numerous types of skills that different people have. Students at Canton High are instructed in vocal music, instrumental music, and physical development. It takes hard practice and determination to take full advantage of one ' s talents. This prac¬ tice pays off when one masters a musical in¬ strument or plays a good ballgame. The reward may be financial for some but for many it is merely knowing that he has done his best. if mm 8iggW W iu Mjmm 1 - JgM 1 4B Caught during a rehearsal for the Christmas concert are B.

Awarding of individual trophies takes place at the football banquet each year. This season the Black Bears placed on the W.N.C. All-Scholastic Grid Team with Anthony Duke on second team, and Roger Hall, Bill Kinken, and Gary Mann as honorable mentions. The hardy coaches of the Black Bear squad pause during practice.

Qirls Bas£ef6all Hard work goes in to basketball and these girls are no strangers to this because they have given many hours of their time and efforts in practice, in travel, and in the game. Many of these girls hold high level positions in their class and in the many clubs in school. All of them at this time plan to continue their educa¬ tion either in college or in Technical Training. Everyone should be proud for a group as fine as this basketball team to represent C.H.S. in our athletic program. -Pass — Move jWW 104 The boys basketball team, under the direction of Coach Holcomb and helped much by Reverend Edwin Young, played a tough schedule but showed much hustle and determination.

In spite of skepticism, the imagination and industriousness of the decorating committee converted the gym into a storybook fantasy. The bridge leading to Candyland was a rainbow with a pot of gold at each end. There was an imposing castle with fiery dragons protecting it and a huge gingerbread man higher than the basketball goal. The most beautiful spot was one corner of the room where a flowing fountain glittered as the multi-colored lights beamed on it. The one drawback was that half-way through the banquet the flowing fountain flowed no more. If the banquet did not satisfy the appetites of the dancers, there were plenty of candy trees to munch on. On the stage was a gingerbread house with suckers, gumdrops, and chewing gum covering it and in another corner was a 4-foot ice cream cone with chocolate syrup. The ceiling was also a little out of the ordinary. The streamers were of blue and clustered in the center of the draping ceiling were balloons of many different colors. Certainly if there were in reality a wondrous land such as the Juniors created, there would not be many children satisfied to stay down here. However, this dreamland was real to many who attended and will long be a cherished memory of their high school years. Sleepy? Hmp? Oh, my ears! Cheese?!? ' Pretty sour? Ow! Wanta fight? I ' m tuff!
