At the May Dance we thought Joyce Corrow and Constance Lyon from our class fitting at- tendants to the queen. Highland Lake was the scene of our class picnic. Then the seniors left us, and forward to a summer which would seem very long before we ourselves would receive the veted distinction of being seniors. SENIOR YEAR In spite of the fact that we had reached the top, it seemed unnatural to return and not see the familiar face of Mr. Bowdoin, who had led us through the first three with patience and understanding. Mr. Joseph Doherty, formally a com ander in the U. came as our new principal, and the administration went smoothly ahead. we looked much co- to school years S. Navy, To Paul Malsick, we gave the honor of being class president, and to assist him were vice- president, Fred Wollmann, secretary, James Bahreg treasurer, Faith Larson, and again we de- pended upon the advice of Miss Joan Shea and Mr. Delio Rotondo. The Sadie Hawkings Dance was, perhaps, the most hilarious event of our four years. Shmoos decorated the gym and Daisey Maes vied for the company of Lil' Abners. All were attir- ed in old clothes. We looked forward with great expectancy to the Senior Ball, which was marked by colorful decorations, pretty gowns, and danceable rhythms, planned by committees. The chairmen con- sisted of Connie Bachand, Joan Castellani, Jean Daniels, Joyce Corrow, Faith Larson, Eunice Kost, Marilyn Cole, Mary Marfyak, Edith Pomaski, and Barbara Altman, with much assistance of the committee members. April 8th was the end of a great deal of hard work and constant practice, for on that evening we presented a play of suspense and mystery named 'Jumping Jewelsn. The following people participated in the comedy: Marilyn Cole, Paul Malsick, Fred Hudon, Joyce Corrow, Jean Pellegrini, Lloyd Drager, Robert Benson, Mary Marfyak, Eileen Evonsion, Marvin Hopkins, Jean Bonesio, with Fred Wollmann as electrician, Georgianna Barnes as prompter, and Henry Olson as stage manager. It would be incomplete to give a class history and neglect sports There was a newly de veloped interest in sports this year, and our teams gave good accounts of themselves Alice Yasny, Eleanor Sikorski, Lawrence Brunoli, and Kenneth Kruse, deserve special mention as out standing athletes And so it is, with sports and studies with plays and exams, reference books and dances with good friends and helpful teachers, we come to the end of our high school days with the knowledge that all our lives we will depend upon the education and experience we have derived from Canton High Georgianna Barnes Frederick Hudon ' 1 n
