A V A -. 1 A V .A THE CANTONIAN 1916 Board of Education HIS year the problem that has confronted the Board of Edu- cation has been a difficult one. the enrollment having increased until the school is crowded to its capacity. The members of the Board have inet the crowded conditions squarely, and. not only has the question of securing a limited number of teachers been efficiently answered by them, but they have helped secure and plan a new school building, which will be under construction this summer. Mr. B. H. Taylor, president of the Board, is a broad-minded man with a pleasing personality, and is a valuable man to have on any board. 'l'here is no activity of thc school but that receives his ln-arty Support. Mr. Coleman, Mr. S. A. Drake, and Mr. G. M. XValdorf, secre- tary. are all three most valuable members of the Board. Mrs. M. I.. lintwhistle is a woman of remarkable abilities and has been a member of the Board for a number of years. The aim of the Board has been to prepare boys and girls for good citizenship and life in general.

The following otheers were elected: President ............. . HAROLD GrnAnAM Vice l're.s-idcnt . . BEULAH CLARK Trams-urcv' . . . HOBART SNIDER See1'cta1'y ................. HAZDTL SEBREE This year a 11ew ofliee was created, that of musical director. The duties of the person filllng this office were to see that some one was at the piano each day to play for dismissal. Laurence lngraham was chosen for the place. Miss Myrtice Marshall was chosen for class teacher. On September twenty-fourth, the Senior class. ehaperoned by Miss Marshall and Mr. Snively, held a wiener roast in the Owl's Nest, west of town. Great quanti- ties of buns. wieners, and pickles were consumed by the Seniors. A large number of Juniors and Sophs came out to the park but they were soon routed, seven of the invaders being taken captive by the Seniors. The captives taken were Edson Van Siekel, Jolm Tendick, Albert and Thomas Hale, Leslie McMillan, and Jennings Hunter. O11 the evening of October twenty-ninth, the Seniors entertained the faculty and the Juniors at a Hard Timesl' party in the Gym. In spirit with the season, ghosts were in evidence everywhere. The guests were led through a dark passage and following a rope, made their way to the Gym. where they were given a Hshock- ing welcome at the door, by means of a cleverly concealed electric battery. Hallow- e'en games were played and during the evening the following program was given in the Assembly hall: FARCE- A PICKED UP DINNER Mr. Thompson ...... . Christopher Cardosi Mrs. Thompson . . . . . Naomi Miller Biddy ...... . Gladys Buckley A SENIOR RAG Pxexnui' . . . . Lola Pickett KKHANSIDIITKUMUPSKIU .... .....

Dwight Austin After the program. all returned to the Gym, where later in the evening, refresh- ments of cider. doughnuts, and apples were served by the Senior girls. On Saturday. December fourth. the Seniors held a successful food sale at Buck- ley 8: Boweifs, on South lNIain. A tidy sum was realized for the Annual fund. The evening of December twenty-second, Tom Rogers entertained the Seniors at his home on VV:-st Maple Street. The feature of the evening was an indoor track meet. which afforded much amusement for the guests. About thirty-five Seniors were present and all reported a splendid time. THE CANTONIAN 1916 The Seniors had a benefit show at the Dreamland theater, on the evening of December twenty-third. This was a success, for the show was a good one and the Senior treasurv was enriched bv, about six dollars. Jeanette Vvallace entertained the Seniors in her home at a watch party on New Yearis Eve. One feature of the evening was a mock wedding, carried out in a very realistic manner. Mildred Lockwood was the bride and Charles Graham was the groom. During the evening each guest was given a piece of paper on which was written Nineteen Sixteen, Leap Yearf' Fifteen minutes were allowed for each per- son to see how many words he could find in the phrase and then the guests were told to make a sentence from the words that had been found. The following were among the sentences written: 1. Nine, ten, er six neat pals ate pearsg next sat an ape asleep in Ray's lapg near sit Ester rapin, Lee's ears and lipg next nite Pat's eel nips reaper and tear is seen tearin, at Patis nee. 2. Near a Nile, I see sixty-five pairs in line at a neat tin tile, as Pat. a pal, sits in a seaty lap, any sips nine pints 0' last year's ratty nats, an, I ran an' tipt a neat tin o' tar in Ester's car, as a tear lit in ratty Na't attix. Yes? Nix. Altogether the party was a great success and the Seniors pronounce Jeanette a royal entertainer. The class is planning to have several more parties and entertain- ments before it disbands in the spring. ZELMA TnoMPsoN, ,16 HHH!!!

A., '13f1Gg Husker Hull, 'ltig Ilcclamatory Kon THE CANTONIAN 1916 John Dean Scholarship HR John Dean Scholarship, established in 1909 by YV. O. Dean in memory of l1is son, John Dean, is awarded each year to the student receiving the highest grade in the competitive examination, held in the spring. At the death of YV. O. Dean, it was found that he had made ample provision in his will for the continuance of this scholarship. The scholarship consists of two hundred dollars to be paid to the winner of it, for the four years of his college career. providing that he lives up to the requirements made of the beneficiary of the scholarship. The first one to receive the benefits of Hr. Deanls kindness was Blanche Hol- landsworth. who won the first place in 1909. She studied at both Knox College and the University of Illinois. ln 1910 lValter Howat won the scholarship and entered the University of Illinois where he made a good record. Raleigh Bryan won the scholarship in 1911 but did not live up to the standards required of the user, so forfeited the last three years' payments. John Shields was the successful one in 1912. He entered the state university from which he will graduate this year. His closest competitor was Leona Onion and as a reward for her good work she was given the last three payments of the scholar- ship forfeited by Raleigh Bryan. ln 1913 Helen Hollandsworth easily won out, 111111 in 1911 Dean Miller received first place. Both are now students at the University of Illinois. Last year Leroy Cathers received the scholarship a11d is now using it in going to the State University at Champaign. 1Vho, then, will be the one to receive the reward this year? The race will be a close one, no doubt. for the students who intend to take the examination are among the best in the class of 1916.

II On a bright moonlight night, quite a few months ago lVc decided that we on a wild hike should go. So each one with marshmallow and wienie and bun Armed himself and came out with the rest for some fun. The Seniors came out for to start a class scrap, And we wanted to wipe them clear off of the map. But our Principal, Heller, forbids us to fight, For in his opinion elass scraps are not right. III I-Iallowc'en did the Seniors invite us to come To eat doughnuts and cider. lVe sure made things hum. The VVarbling Grape-nuts cheerfully sang. The night was enjoyed by the whole bloomin' gang.

YVhen they were Freshmen they had one of their members on the first basket ball team. one on the track team, and one on the Knox debating squad. Also one of the Freshmen girls won second in the local Declamatory and represented Canton at the Fulton County meet, held in Lewistown, winning third place. This year they have one of their members on the first basket ball team and three on the second. There are also a goodly number of Sophs in the Lincoln Debating Society illld in all the other activities of the school. Surely this class, which has done so much when unorganized, will accomplish much more when it organizes next year.

However, the Freshmen started out this year with a rush by winning a ticket selling contest, held during the first of the school term. They have two of their members on the second basket ball team and these men will no doubt make the first team during their High School career. The Freshmen as a class have shown a will- ingness to cooperate with thc other classes to obtain the best results for the good of the school. There is no doubt but that they will keep up the good standard of Canton High when they reach the glories of upper-classdom.

Hli Athletic, Literary and Musical Association of Canton High School is the organization under which practically all events of the school year are held. All relations with other schools, including Athletic and Literary activities, and all local activities in the name ef Canton High School, receive their sanction and sup- port from this organization. Any person who represents Canton High in any Way must be a member of this Association. The ofHcers are members of the student body and the students have the majority in the executive committee, which is composed of the four ofHcers and the Principal, the Superintendent of Schools, and the President of the Board of Education. The most important factor is that the Association is self-supporting. Although handicapped this year by the elimination of the Boys, Burlesque Play, and the short schedule of basket ball games at home, the A. L. M. A. is better off, financially, than it has been in previous years. This is due partly to the pep shown by the students along the line of boosting and supporting the various activities. The membership campaign, at the beginning of the year, conducted by the treasurer, increased the members to about two hundred and fifty. VVith this increase of members the dues amounted to about forty per cent more than they had in former years. The receipts of the basket ball games this year have averaged about twice as much as in former years. This was due to the good work of the treasurer and vice president. The advance sale of tickets and the advertising of the games certainly increased the treasury. Through the work of the executive committee, assisted by the student body, the Athletic, Literary, and Musical Association of Canton High School has certainly proved successful in its purpose. l li THE CANTONIAN 1916 N ,1. , .,,, wa w , A 1 1 1 - ' ,w N 1 .

The Canton reputation for fair athletics has certainly been lived up to and made as much better as possible by the various teams representing the school this year. The teams, as a whole, have never been composed of fellows more gentlemanly in all respects than the teams of this year. The conduct of all our athletic representatives on trips has given Canton High one of the most enviable reputations throughout the state for turning out sportsmanlike teams. lilvcry individual member of Canton's athletic teams this year has benented him- self by his association with clean athleticsg for he has learned to take a defeat and profit by it instead of giving up, he has learned to fight for a good cause up to the last minute and then keep on fighting sixty seconds longer, he has learned the value of team work and cooperation with his fellow men, he has learned to play cleanly and fairly in order to succeed, he has prepared himself both physically and mentally for the bigger game of life, and he has not only benefited and brought honor upon himself, but he has helped win glory for old Canton High School, for every one of our teams this year has been highly successful. The track team of last spring was one of the most successful Canton has ever had. the Canton team being entered in four track meets, winning two of them, placing fifth in one, and losing a fourth by one event, which should have been easily won by the Canton man. Canton's fall athletic team, wl1icl1 was a base ball organization, was also successful. playing two games, winning one by a big margin and losing thc other game by one score. The basket ball team was the most successful in this line ever turned out of CflI1tOI'1 High School. the team playing twenty games, winning thirteen by big margins, losing seven games by small scores, playing in three tourna- ments, winning two of the three tournaments played in and losing the first game of the third by one point. Tl1e prospects for another winning track team and another winning base ball team this spring were never brighter than they are at the time of writing this. The many victories mentioned above have been made possible by many things: mainly. the cooperation and assistance rendered by the entire student body and teach- ers by attending all the games possible, and doing their part by cheering and aiding Hnanciallyg the untiring efforts of Coach E. J. Smith, who has worked so hard to develop teams Canton High could be proud ofg the voluntary services of Charles fPekinj Clark, who has acted as trainer for all the athletic teams this year and has kept Canton's representatives in prime physical condition, and the members of the teams themselves, who have always worked for the honor of the school. All this merely goes to show that everybody has to push to make Canton High's teams success- ful in their purposes. The pace set by all of Cantonis teams this year has been an exceedingly fast one, but it is all together probable that the teams in the next few years will be able to come up to them if every one pushes Athletics as they have been pushed in Canton High School this year. l,. V. I. '16 THE CANTONIAN S E fig N A E is N 1916 THE CANTONIAN THE CANTONIAN 1916 The T eam NE of the best organized and smoothest working aggregations of basket tossers in the state represented Canton High School this year. The team was made up for the most part of veterans, all of whom had seen service on the first team in previous years. A new system of plays was introduced this year and naturally the team was a little unsettled and disorganized at first, consequently losing a few early season games. Later on the team began to work together. hit its stride, began win- ning games. and ended the season with a whirlwind finish. VVilbur Harmon. the captain. forward. and Canton High's star all-around ath- lete, successfully led the team for the second time in his high school career. having been captain of the team in 1911. He is a player who fights like a demon every min- ute of the game. He is about the spcediest. most accurate. illld hardest working man Carlton has ever turned out and the team next year will undoubtedly feel his loss. for he graduates with the class of 1916. The termination of this season completes the fourth year of Adrian's service on the team. He was chosen by the officials as cap- tain and forward of the first All-Star team in the Fulton County Tournament and earned honorable mention in the District Tournament at Peoria. Tom Rogers, who played forward with Harmon, is also a member of the Class of 1916. 'KDocv possesses all the qualities which go to make a great player and, al- though not as large as many of his opponents. he managed to cause his guards con- siderable worry. Doc was about the best dribbler on the team. one of the quickest floor workers. and an excellent basket shooter. having helped win many games by his accurate foul throwing. He was picked as captain and forward of the second A11- Star team in the District Tournament at Peoria. Clyde Murphy, the phenomenal center, is about the handiest passer and receiver of the ball that ever stepped 1111011 a basket ball floor. The ball just sticks to his fingers. He is an accurate basket shooter and the most consistent point maker Can- ton had this year. lrish doesnit play in streaks, but always makes baskets. His ability as a jumper gave Canton the advantage all year on getting the ball out of center. There is no use trying to estimate how much more glory Murph will bring to himself and Canton High. for he has two more years in High School. He was picked as center on the first All-Star team in both Fulton County and Peoria District tournaments. .lohn Tendick. back guard on the teaiu. was the sensation of the season. John possessed the ability to lay back. no matter what happened, and many games were saved by his being back when the ball was thrown dow11 the floor. There seemed to be no limit to his elasticity, for many times John stretched himself to unknown heights and brought down the ball for Canton. Tendick was thc best jumper on the team and he still has another year to improve. He easily earned a position on the first All-Star team in the Fulton County Tournament. Laurence lngraham. the midget running guard, played a whirlwind game every minute, and besides spoiling the reputations of some of the best forwards in the state, managed to secure a good share of Cantonfs baskets, which undoubtedly meant several 1916 THE CANTONIAN The Team--Continued victories. Besides being picked as running guard on the first All-Star team of the District Tournament at Peoria, he made the second AllfStar team of tl1e State Tour- nament at Decatur, having played only thirty minutes of the first game. Canton certainly feels proud of this little fellow, the only All-Star from any team put out of the State Tournament in its tirst game, and will miss him when the Class of 1916 graduates this year. Roscoe Agne. who played guard, was the Wind of the season. Roekie,' had the size and strength to tear 'em up and he certainly did his share of guarding in every game he played. He was a player who fought and worked every minute of the game. Roekie also graduates this year. Edson Vansickle, an excellent all-around player, is an example of a veteran who e:une back. i'CottonH didn't play last year, but came back this year full of the old pe-pu and. had it not been for sickness in the early part of the season, he could have accomplished much more. He plays guard, forward, or center and this fact coupled with his willingness to work made HCottonH a valuable man in winning several games. He has another year in High School. George Phillips. alias 'iPi,U is a Canton comer. He has'already proven his worth. having played when the team needed him this year. He has another year in school to show 'em all what he can do. Jennings Hunter is a player who some day will make Cl21IltOI! High sit up and take notice. He worked hard on the second team all year and with two more years in High School he will undoubtedly star. Leslie McMillan is one of the coolest individuals that ever entered a basket tossing arena and he has done his share of roughing the first team into shape. Macy is one who may be counted upon to uphold Cantonis reputation in his next two years of High School. Vernon Huffman, another second team star, still has another year in Canton High and unless the dopeis all wrong, he will be sure to be heard from next year. There are other members of the squad, fellows who have worked hard all year. and who deserve mention, but space does not allow it. L. V. I.

Consequently the track write-ups from every year have to be held overfor the CANTONIAN of the next year. The wrlteeup that is given in this volume is. aeeordingly. the record of Canton's participa- tion in the different meets held last year. Before taking up the results of last ycaris track meets, a brief history of track and field activities in Canton High School will be given. in order that one may more fully reaiizc how Canton has progressed along this line. Years ago, while all the present graduates were still away down in the grades, some not even started to school. Canton High had track and field activities. Canton was successful to a cer- tain degrce, as all the aneient banners which still adorn the assembly hall indicate, and due credit should be given to the old boys who upheld Canton's honor in those days. But at that time there wasn't much organization to the meets and they were not as fast as they are now. True, there are old stars who probably hold more medals than any three of Cantonis present star men put together, but when the time of their raees. the distance of their jumps. and the records of all events are looked up, they are found to be much slower than they are to-day, proving that athletics have become faster. Then, for a time. track activities took a slump in Canton and very little was done along this line until the famous class of 1912 resurrected track in Canton High, turned out one star athlete, and started an interest in Canton High that has grown to this day. The following year H9131 Canton put out a stronger team. entered a few meets and almost won the championship of Fulton County, the team totaling 3314 points against Lewistown's 37. The interest by this time was fully aroused and in the spring of 191,11 Canton put out a stronger team than ever, which placed fifth in the Big Eight meet at Galesburg and easily won the Fulton County championship at Lewistown, the fellows making a total of 50 points in this meet. In the Macomb meet, the team was not so successful, but Canton managed to win one medal and the interest in track still grew. The interest was accordingly at a great pitch when the season began last spring. and the largest squad that had ever turned out was out practicing every evening after school. Despite the many inconveniences that Canton High has contended with for years in regard to a place for her track team to practice, the team last year was one of the most successful ever turned out of Canton High School. The team entered four of the fastest meets in the state last year. won two of them, placed favorably in the other two, made records in the several events and put Canton on the map as having a great track team. THE Bio EIGHT lNI1:ET-GALESBURG . The first meet of last spring that Canton entered was the Big Fight meet held on the Knox Athletic Field in Galesburg. This was one of the fastest meets in the state and in spite of the fact that Canton men were pitted against some of the fastest men in the state, our team succeeded in making 7 points, giving Canton fifth place in the meet. The point makers for Canton in this meet were Havermale and Parkin. Havermale winning second place in both the 220-yard dash and the 220-yard low hurdle race, and Parkin winning third place in the running broad jump. Davenport High School won this meet with a small lead over Rock Island. T916 THE CANTONIAN THICK- Continued FULTON COUNTY BIEET-I.EYVISTOYVN The second mcet of last spring was the Fulton County meet held in Lewistown on the fair grounds. This was a hard meet to Win, but Canton had the stuff to Win and so win it was. The point winners for Canton were as follows: Havermale-15 points, winning first in the 220-yard dash, the 220-yard low hurdle race, and the standing broad jump, Parkinill points, winning first in the 50-yard dash and sec- ond place in both the 100-yard dash and the running broad jump, Cardosi-5 points, winning first in the running hop, step. and umpg Tendick--11 points, winning second in the high kick and third in the running higl1 jumpg Way-2 points, winning third place in both the 220-yard low hurdle race and the running hop, step. and jump. This made Canton a total of 37 points against Lcwistown's 28 points, Vermont's 28 points, and Table Grove's 2,11 points. NE1o11BoRHooD lhIEET+hIACOMB A week following the Lewistown victory the team went to Macomb and entered the neighborhood meet held there. The track was not as good as it might have been, but Canton dived in to win nevertheless. The meet was a fast one and the points evenly distributed, so that Canton having won 15 points was tied with Viola for first place. ln case of a tie in points, the team winning the most first places should be given thc credit of winning the meet. If this rule had been carried out, Canton would not have had to share Hrst honors with Viola because all of the points Canton made were made by winning first places. As it Was, Canton was given a banner and Viola a shield and the honors divided. Carlton point Winners in this meet were Havermale, having made 10 points by winning first place in the 220-yard low hurdle race and first place in the standing broad jump, and Parkin, who won first place in the 50-yard dash. ' QL'IW'ER BEACH lhTEET-IJAVANA The last meet of the year that Canton entered was held in Havana. This was a speedy meet and our team only missed winning it by one event, which Canton should have easily won under ordinary conditions. However, the team made 17 points which gave Canton second place, Lewistown winning the meet with just a few points' margin over Canton. Havermale and Parkin were again the point winners for Can- ton, this time Havcrmale made 11 points by winning first place in the 220-yard dash, first place in the 220-yard low hurdle race, and the third place in the standing broad jump, while Parkin made six points by winning second place in the running broad jump and second place in the 100-yard dash. 'PHE RELAY TEAM Although there are no relay cups sitting around in the halls of Canton High, Canton really had a wonderful relay team. The fellows simply ran in the shadow of a hoodoo in the three meets they entered. The team was composed of five men, Parkin, Cardosi, Harmon, VVay and Havermale, any four of whom were liable to be called upon to run. In the Galesburg meet Canton placed third in the relay race without Havermale running his lap. This is no small honor when the class Canton's team was running in is considered. ln the Lewistown meet, Canton placed second, Lewistown just barely winning by a few feet. Again in the Havana meet, Lewis- town's team just barely won from Canton with VVay running the third lap in place of Harmon. There is no use to fret about hard luck, but it certainly does the loyal Can- ton High backer good to refer to the time when the Canton relay team composed of Parkin, Cardosi, Harmon and Havermale lowered the track record for the half mile relay on the Lewistown track in a tryout by making the distance in one minute and thirty-seven seconds. Of course this isn't on record because it was made in a tryout, but they did it all the same, proving the worth of the relay team. W' . Xue THE LANTONIAN 1916 T021 T0 cggdfi DJ L 1 1916 THE CANTONIAN THE CANTONIAN 1916 Baseball HE year 1915-16 has been a banner year in more ways than one for Canton High Schoolg the athletic teams and representatives have been winners, the literary contestants have been successful, many activities have been introduced, and some of the activities that Canton used to have. but which have lain dormant for a time, have been brought to life. Among the resurrected activities of Canton High is the great national pastime--fBaseball. Two years ago was the last time Canton put a base ball team upon a diamond. In the fall of 1913 a game was scheduled with Lewistown. The game was arranged on short notice and the team really had no time to prepare. At any rate, Canton sent a base ball team to Lewistown that came back crushed to the tune of 10 to 3g and the record shows twenty-three errors against the Canton boys. This blow seemed to take the Hpepv out of the school for a time, as far as base ball was concerned, and the suits were packed away in the property box until last fall when thev were again brought out and donned by the members of a newly organized squad of ball tossers. The first game this year was with Cuba High School and was played on the Cubans, diamond. This was another short notice game. but the school was full of excellent material4fellows who took advantage of every minute there was to prac- tice-and a good team represented Canton High. At Cuba the tcam was accompan- ied by a large crowd of loyal supporters and, although Canton did not win, the home fans were not disappointed in their team. The game was a close one all the way through. featured by heavy hitting. sensational plays, and quite a few Hboneheadsn on each side. It had been agreed that the game should be called in the seventh in- ning in order that the Canton players could catch ia train: and it so happened that when the seventh inning was over Cuba led bv one point. the score being 8 to 7. Of course there would have been no doubt as to the outcome of the game had it been con- tinued two more innings, for the Canton team had gradually Hpepped upu with every inning. The Canton lineup for this game was as follows: Harmon, catcher: Houlds- worth, pitcherg Murphy, first base, Ingraham, second base: Rogers, third base, Fouts, short stopg Mace, left field: Barron fcaptainj, center field: Meier. right field. Cardosi, Keith, and McMillan, substitutes. The lineup was changed around during the game and every one taken on the trip was given a chance to show his abilities. After another week of practice. Cuba came to Canton and the return game was played on the Birch Street ball diamond. School was dismissed early and a crowd of rooters, fully five hundred strong, Hocked out to the game to eat Junior candy and cheer our fellows on to victory. To say this game was revenge would be putting it mildly. MHSSGC7'F would more nearly fit, for our men literally walked all over the bases. batted Cubals pitcher at leisure. and completely swamped the score keeper's book with scores. Tile game ended with the score 11 to G in Canton's favor. The team lined up for this game as follows: Harmon, catcher: Houldsworth, pitcher: Murphy. first base: Rogers. second baseg Cardosi. third base: Fonts. short stop: Mace. left fieldg Barron feaptainj, center fieldg Meier. right fieldg McMillan and Keith, substitutes. No changes were made in this game. The features of the game were Jakey's consistent pitchingg Harmonis home rung heavy hitting by the whole teamg lack of many f'boneheads, and Sc0op', Perkins' fight. This game ended the fall season. 1916 THE CANTONIAN GIRLS' GYM C'l,,XSSl'lS THE CANTONIAN 1916 f l n f :I ! 5 My T fo 43 gpg f i 'X I N Q3 K9 6 .VSUU CW wwf R 'if 1fl2-3 b PY' If Q 9 A QA ti :g g X, , - 4 , My J 4, .. n -- 51, .

Three days of the week are given to singing, and the remainder are devoted to the study of different composers, operas, and musical terms. The classes have been very generous in singing at teachers' meetings, chapel exercises, and other high school affairs. Laurence Ingraham, a prominent member of one of the music classes, was ap- pointed musical manager of the school. His duties, to see that some one played tl1e piano at the noon and evening dismissals, to arrange programs for different high school events, and to boost music throughout the school, were all attended to in a good manner, and the school has greatly appreciated his services. Once everv two weeks Jrofrrams are given bv the members of the music classes. . 7 P' 21 .

At the beginning of the present school year Mr. Johnson, the new commercial instructor, was found to be an adept musician, quite capable and willing to direct an orchestra. In the latter part of September Mr. Johnson called a meeting of all those inter- ested in the orchestral work and a rehearsal was held in the Assembly Hall. Con- sidering their lack of practice together, the music produced was very good and now, owing to the efforts of Mr. Johnson and the cooperation of the members, Canton High has an orchestra of which any school might well be proud. The orchestra has made the literary events of the year more enjoyable by its excellent musical programs, whicll consist of both popular and classical numbers. These programs were given at the Boys' and Girls' Declamatory Contests, the Can- ton-llonmouth Debate. the Junior Class Plays, tl1e Fulton County Teachers' Con- vention, and at the Senior Halloweien Party.

Doxx 1 T had been the custom of both thc John Hay and lVcbster Debating Societies to disband at the end of each school year. The following fall the societies were re- organized under the old names and constitution, if the old members so desired, and they invariably did so. This year, however, owing to the crowded conditions and the limited number of teachers, thc faculty advised the boys not to reorganize the old societies, but to organize a new one instead. On September 29, 1915, a meeting was held of the members of the former societies and of all the other boys who were inter- ested in the debating. At this meeting the advice of the faculty was repeated and after bitter debates for and against the plan, the majority of the boys decided to organize a new society. The boys then elected as chairman, Chris Cardosi, who then appointed a constitutional committee. The meeting of the society was then postponed until October -11, 1915, on which day they met again and adopted the constitution pre- sented by the committee. The boys next decided that the name of the new organiza- tion should be The Lincoln Debating Societyf' The critic and officers were next elected. Miss Clara B. Donn was unanimously elected critic, Chris Cardosi. was elected president, Hobart Snider, vice president, Otto Meier, secretary-treasurer, and Dwight Austin chosen Society reporter for the school paper. This society has so far this year upheld the reputation of the C. H. S. in de- bating. All of the men who are in the Knox debates are members of the society, as are also the boys who will uphold the honor of the school in the Big Eighty' Oratori- cal Contest. And in various ways the Lincoln Debating Society has held and will continue to hold a very prominent part in C. H. S. affairs. The debates in the society have been very carefully prepared, and the work is proving a great help to the members, especially to those who are in the Knox squad. The society consists of thirty-two members, by far the largest debating society in the history of C. H. S. Each member is a willing worker and booster. And, thanks to the help and advice of the critic, Miss Donn, the boys, who up to this year had never debated, have made great strides toward being logical thinkers and debaters. Thus, this, the first year of the Lincoln Debating Soeeity, has proven a success in all ways, and it is sincerely hoped that the new as well as the old members will ably uphold the honor of the society in the years to come.

Monmouth l1ad dropped out of the race and left Canton and Galesburg in a dual debate. The question was, Resolved, That the Parcel Post sys- tem should be extended to include the entire express service of the United States. The Affirmative team was composed of Roy Nelson, captain, Lois Ryno, Otto Meier, and Russell Goodin, alternate. On the Negative were Gomer Bath, captain, Hobart Snyder, Fred Meier, and Earl Irwin, alternate. In the preliminaries Galesburgls Affirmative and Negative were each defeated by Canton. This was the first time Canton had won both sides, and we were admitted to the semi-finals to compete in a dual debate with Kewanee. They proved to be much stronger than Galesburg, but Canton again succeeded i11 getting five out of six decisions. Our Negative team, at home this time, obtained a unanimous decision, while the Affirmative team won at Kewanee by a two to one decision. By this time all the schools in the league were eliminated but Burlington, Canton, and Freeport. Canton was the only school of the Big Eight which succeeded in getting a place in the finals. C:mton, therefore, was given first place in debating in the Big Eight, but we determined to enter the Knox finals. Our Negative team went to Burlington, and there met the only defeat of the season by losing a unanimous decision. At Canton our Afhrmative defeated Freeport two to one. Each Aflirmative team won in the finals, but, adding decisions, Freeport got -1, Burlington 3, and Canton 2, consequently, according to the Knox rules, Free- port was awarded first place. Burlington second, and Canton third in the Knox In- terscholastic Debating League. Knox Debates 1916 ANTON repeated her victories in debate again in 1916. In tl1e preliminaries Canton's Negative defeated Monmouth at home, 2-1, 'but the Affirmative lost at Galesburg, 2-1. Monmouth won at home likewise, each school thus getting three judges. Canton was the lucky one to hold the directorship of the triangle which rotates alphabetically. Consequently Canton represented this triangle in a dual de- bate with Princeton which had won both of llffl' first debates by unanimous decisions. In this event tl1e Negative team, accompanied by Mr. Buthod. went to Princeton and won. 2-1. The Affirmative at home won unanimously. This put Canton at the head of the Big Eight and since it had been previously decided that we would debate no towns outside of this organization, this is the last of inter-scholastic debating for 1916. On the Affirmative team were Hobart Snyder, captain, Otto Meier, and Lee Young. The Affirmative had no alternate. Young later dropped out and his place was filled by Donald Roller who plunged into the work and mastered the subject in two weeks. Meier held down his position with his usual ability and Snyder showed beyond a doubt what he could do, in the Princeton debate. Mr. Snively took the boys to Galesburg March 17, where they lost a hard debate, but they came back a week later with a brilliant victory over Princeton. The Negative won no brilliant victories. They simply plowed steadily through their schedule, winning three debates and losing none. For a practice debate they went to Pekin March 10, accompanied by Mr. Franklin, the regular coach, and won by a 2 to 1 decision. They treated Monmouth the same way and went to Princeton and again repeated the performance. On the Negative were Gomer Bath, captain, Earl Irwin, better known in debates as Earl Pep, and Harvey Barth, who made a debater of himself with six months hard training. The Negative alternate was .len- nings Hunter. The question debated, commonly known as Preparedness, was: 'iResolved, That the present army and navy of the U. S. is inadequate to meet the needs of the nation. 1916 THE CANTONIAN BIG EIGHT, DECLAMATORY REPRESENTATIVES Declamation HE f'Big 8 Girls, Declamatory Contest was held this year at Rock Island, and the person chosen to represent Canton High was Miss Ada Cluts. To repre- sent Canton High is some honor, but to be selected from nineteen aspirants may add greater laurcls. Ada's selection was entitled Indian and she rendered it admirably. Although sl1e did not place in the contest at Rock Island, she made an excellent show- ing for Canton High. Miss Murlea Moran took second place in thc local contest and she will represent us at the Fulton County contest held May 19. The declamation which Murlea will give is 'AA Few Bars in the Key of G. The nature of the selection, coupled with her ability as a declaimer, will undoubtedly bring to her and Canton High the gold medal. The representative to the Big SU Boys, Declamatory Contest at Davenport was Tom Rogers. Doc 'igot away with iti' in great style, but the fact that a contestant preceding him on the program had the same reading probably had much to do with his failure to place, because his selection, The Freshman Fullbackf' was a fine one. Roberts Blakeslee will represent us at the Fulton County contest with If I Yvere Kingy' as his selection. Bob has the ability, so he ought to do something for us. J. C.

Public Speaking is a new feature in our school this year and it is for all pupils in the High School who wish to take it. There are about fifty pupils enrolled in this work. Every pupil is required to appear before the Assembly Hall twice during the year Cto receive his creditsj, so Chapel time every Friday morning is given over to the Public Speaking classes for the rendering of their program. which consists of talks from the leading magazines, original talks, debates, and readings. In this work the student gains poise and self-confidence and develops the power of speaking effectively before people. This is of practical value to him in his daily work, both in and out of school. Like all other subjects the student gets out of it what he puts in. A program given by the Public Speaking classes, composed of selections from Robert YV. Service: Biography of Robert YV.

Robert Iilakeslee In the comedy, i'Spreadi11g the Newsf, Bartley Fallon, who is a born pessimist, and his wife attend :1 village fair. They meet Rev. Jack Smith, a farmer, who, after visiting with them, goes away, leaving his pitchfork. Bartley is sent after him with the missing fork. Mrs. Fallon tells an inquiring friend that Bartley has gone after Jack with :1 pitchfork. This friend excitedly tells another that Bartley is chasing Jack with a pitchfork, and so the news grows. It spreads through the fair until it grows into :1 murder. Bartley returns from an unsccccssful hunt for Jack to find that things beyond his most pessimistic dreams are about to happen to him. Excellent work was done by every member of the cast in interpreting the gro- tesquely amusing characters of this delightful short comedy. In 'Op-O'-Me-Thumb. Amanda Afllick, an orphan employed in Madame Did- ier's laundry, is a most imaginative little creature, pretending all sorts of unbelieva- ble things. She pretends to the other girls in the laundry that she is a very rich girl in disguise and that Horace Greensmith, a man who left a shirt there a year ago and who had not yet called for it, is in love with her. Quite unexpectedly Horace Green- smith appears on the scene and calls for his shirt. Amanda's most imaginative dreams are fulfilled when Horace Grcensmith plans to take l1er to :1 picnic, but alas! Amanda realizes he is ashamed of her and the curtain falls, leaving little ,Op-0'-Men Thumb heartbroken. The work done by this cast was exceptionally fine, and the atmosphere of the play was carried out to perfection. 1916 THE CANTONIAN 6719 Senior Play '16 At the time this article is being written the Seniors are getting ready for a class play that will undoubtedly be one of the hardest and best our High School has ever given-Secret Service, by VVilliam Gillette.

The scenes of Secret Servieew are laid i11 ltiehmond, Virginia, on an evening during the Civil YVar, at a time when the Northern forces are entrenched before the city and endeavoring, by all possible means, to break down the defense and capture the Confederate capitol. One of the brothers, Lewis Dumont, makes his way into Richmond in the disguise of a wounded cavalry ofiicer. He at once proceeds to make love to the daughter of the commanding general, with the hope of securing an appointment in the telegraph oflice, through the old gentleman's iniiuence. He is too susceptible, however, and his love making soon becomes real. Then he will not let her assist him in getting the position he wants for fear some harm may come to her. She does get it, nevertheless, and when her friends tell her that Dumont is sus- pected of being a spy, she rejects the suggestion with scorn. Meantime the other Dumont has been captured, and the Generals daughter dares her lover's enemies to bring the men face to face and prove them to be brothers. This meeting is one of the strong scenes of the play. Of course, the curtain falls on a victory for Cupid. THE CANTONIAN 1916 Last Yearls' Senior Class Play HE Senior Class Play of 1915, An American Citizenf' given at the Princess Theatre, May 27, 1915, proved an attraction of unusually high merit. The members of the east did splendid work in interpreting their various roles. and the result was that the audience were amused and kept in a continual gale of laughter at the bright repartee which made the play such a success, and which was handled so cleverly by the cast. Ernest Hipsley, as Beresford Cruger. who renounced his nationality as an American and became an Englishman in order to receive an inheritance left hi111 by an eccentric uncle, was the star of the evening. The various little comedy parts were skillfully handled by Ernie', and he made a capital lover at the close of the play. Dean Armstrong, as Peter Barbury, his business partner. was strong in his part. Miss Mabel Rose, as Beatrice Carew. the English cousin who married Cruger and assisted him to get his inheritance and kept everything in a tangled state of af- fairs, starred with 'iErnie.,' Corwin Mason, as Otto Strobble, the German, was quite amusing. Georgia, Crugers American sweetheart, was admirably taken care of by Margaret Roberts. Miss Mildred Mathews had ample opportunity to display her talents in the role of Carolo Chapin who seemed always in pursuit of the masculine sex. Roy Nelson, as the villain, was good, and Leroy Cather, as an English dude, was quite typical. Sir Humphrey Bunn, with all the dignity of a titled Englishman, was admirably portrayed by Kenneth Geyer. Pauline Hartcr, as Lady Bunn, was Splendid in her role of a haughty English woman of title. Cruger's valet, Simms, played by Claude Seaton, was excruciatingly funny and kept the audience in a delightful titter most of the time. Fred Meier took the part of Lucas, associated with the firm of Cruger. Barbury 8 Browne, and Annette, the maid, was acted by Amy Cluts. Mercury. the little oflicc boy in Crugeris English ofiice, made a big hit with his interpretation of the role and was acted by Lewis Van Dyke. Much of the credit for the success of this excellent play was due to the efficient training and unsparing labors of Miss Katherine Elliott, by whom the cast was di- rected in the preparation of the play. rf ,f 63 , - ci - ,f1,,, , ff yi i..gxlf .ff42fw,fa1f f 1, if ,fr 0 ans, , I .,,,,-, r. w ff ' ji, :HN . --5-53 5,.'-ffl 9 , ' ' -' I i Qi. ff-'LQ 1 C Hxk , ., ie .L AL Z C 1916 THE CANTONIAN THE CANTONIAN 1916 Ad hd Q 0 ll E xx xv.

There- fore, during the last summer vacation, such a school was held in Canton for the bene- fit of the teachers in this district. The sessions were held in the High School build- ing. thc subjects and instructors being as follows: Education, G. VV. Gaylerg Science, V. G. Hcllerg Mathematics, Miss Helen VValkcrg History. H. B.

The school was a great success and a second annual session will bc held this va- cation pcriod. Arrangements are being made to add other subjects to thosc given Iast year, if a sufficient number enrolls for the work. These subjects are Domestic Science. Physical Culture, and lIanual Training.

Pennanf HE Pennant, a small but breezy weekly paper, heralding the news of Canton High, is a paper that we may be proud of. This paper is entirely a product of the student body, being edited under the direction of the English department and printed by the printing department. The management has been somewhat different this year from that of previous years. Heretofore the staff was chosen for the entire year, but the plan that was worked out to some extent last year aI1d adopted this year was thought to be the better. The editor and assistant are chosen for a six weeks period and after the expiration of that term of editorship the assistant takes the place of the editor, and a new assistant is chosen. Besides the editor-in- chief and the assistant there is also a business manager, managing editor, class reporters, and the critic. In this progressive manner more individual interest is aroused, as the real purpose of the paper is 11ot to train the staff, but to bring every student in closer toueh with school life. The Pennant was founded in 1908 and in 1913 was awarded a prize by the VVestern Illinois State Normal for being the best high school paper. During its career the Pennant has grown considerably and is self-supporting in every way., Yve feel free to say that this volume -and those to follow will keep up the standard set by Canton High.

One who possesses the ability of clear thinking, correct writing, and forceful speaking will have success i11 life assured. These qualities the students of English acquire in their High School career. ' The .Iunior and Senior classes, under the supervision of Miss Elliott, are giving much time to the oral theme work, and in this particular line much progress is being made. The English IV classes devote one day a week to the discussion of articles of current interest, taken from the Independent magazine. This work creates an interest, and prepares the pupil to meet the big things of life. Besides this work, both upper classes have been reading classics, the .Iuniors A Collection of Short Storiesf' by famous short story writers, and the Seniors Hamlet and Macbeth.', In the Sophomore English classes great stress has been laid on the written theme work and there has been some work along the oral theme line. The classes have also studied the newspaper, writing editorials, advertisements, and social items. For classics, the Sophomores have read MSilas Marner, and are now reading The Vicar of Wakefield. The aim of the teachers of Freshman English is to teach the pupils to express their thoughts in clear, concise language, and to be able to readily understand the thoughts expressed by others. To help gain this end, a large part of the time has been spent on written and oral themes. A study of letter writing has been made and the class has improved very much along this line. The Freshmen have read in class 'iIrving's Sketch Bookf and are at present reading The Merchant of Vcnicef, in which they are showing much interest.. A few of the pages following will be devoted to some stories and poems written by the members of the various English classes. lllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lliillllll Tired ! HAD been invited to a week end party at I.i-vcrpool. Ive were to have exams the next week. My grades were dangerously 11ear the Hunking line. But the week end party seemed vastly more important then than examinations. I returned Monday morning absolutely worn out. I had swum until every muscle in my body was so sore and stiff that I could not touch them without wincing and to change my position was misery. I had rowed until my hands were blistercd, played tennis until the sight of my racket sent a dull pain all over me, and danced until I could hardly stand. and then the ride home in that merciless old hack without a single spring. I was so tired that to move one foot before the other was an effort. Oh, if I only could have gone to bed and slept until I got ready to get up. ButgNol Those exams! The thought exhausted me completely. I carried such a stack of books home that my head began to ache, but I had to dig. That was a settled fact. I read a page of history, nodded, then tried to remember what I had read. I could not. I read it again and knew still less. Next I tried to review Geometry. The more I crammed the more tangled up I got. I tried to write, but my hand was too cramped to hold the pencil. The letters before me began to dance, but I had to study. Exams! About twelve oiclock I gave up in despair and went to bed and spent the rest of the night in troubled sleep. dreaming that Belgium was an island off the coast of Fulton County, that if a triangle has four sides it is parallel to an axiom. and that I.ouie XVI was mayor of Cuba. I passed those examinations. My lowest mark was 75. My highest 78. But never again will I go to a house party ust before examinations. HI+ILEN SAUNDERS, '17 U THE CANTONIAN 1916 G js cz Soldier Should HH sallow sunlight drifted lazily through the barred window and fell i11 fitful patches on the cold, damp wall of a cell in a German prison. It fell, too, on a small, 11?l!'l'OW cot where lay a young French aviator. He was scarcely more than a boy, having ust reached his seventeenth year. His straight, black hair was wet with sweat. altho it was not a hot day. 'His great, black eyes burned wildly and seemed to gaze upon the world with a look of destroyed confidence. His face was haggard and drawn and he moaned to himself as he tossed on the hard bed. V Through his mind passed thoughts of the morning not far distant when he had so gayly left France with a superior otticer to spy over the country of Alsace in his beloved aeroplane. lVell he remembered the clear autumn sunshine of that beautiful morning. He remembered passing his dear old home in Alsace and sighting a Gere man camp soon after. A bullet had whistled thru the air and crippled the right wing of his machine. He had tried to right the machine, but it plunged downward. Again he heard the French officers ery as they dived toward the earth. He knew no more for several days. lVhen he again looked upon the world with understanding he found himself in this narrow cell. Slowly the truth came to him. He was a prisoner in a German prison. He had been surprised to find th:1t his guard was a German friend of his, with whom he had grown up. Ever since he could re- member, he and Hans had played together. But now they were the bitterest of foes. The door opened and Hans came in. Good morning. Henrif' Good morning, Hans. VVhat news? lVhat is to be done with me? Donit keep it back. Hans. Tell me nowf, I hate to, Henri, but I must. You have been condemned as a spy and you are to be shot at sunrise tosmorrow. I did my best. but it was of no used, 'l'hatls all right. Hans. I know you did all you could. But, ohl Hans, I hate to die. lim afraid to die, I am. I am, a11d the boy burst into tears and sobbed as only a man can. YVhen he had done with his tears he begged the German to bring his mother to him and the German promised to do so. Noon of that day found her at the camp. She was a lovely lady. petite and dark, with pride plainly written on her features. Before I go to Henri tell me what to expect, she said to Hans. So Hans told her the story as I have told it to you, but he laid particular stress on the fact that Henri had sobbed as a child might. This roused the mother's pride. but no sign of annoyance could be noted by the German. In her heart, however. she formed a plan which would be hard for her to carry out. How hard, no one but a mother knows. She entered the cell calmly and answered I-Ienri's broken greeting with sweet and tender caresses. Calmly she dried his tears and soothed his ruliled spirits. Henri, my boy, do not forget that you are a soldier and a Frcnchmanfi I know. mother. But. oh, it is so hard to die when I'd love so much to live. Mother, can't you save me? He clung to her hand and pleaded, with the tears coursing down his boyish checks. Yes, Henri, I have saved youf' Saved me, mother? Yes, saved you. To-morrow you shall be fired at with blank cartridges and the next day you will be allowed to go homef, Home! Home! Think. mother, sweet home! 0h! I shall be the happiest boy in all France to see home again. 1916 THE CANTONIAN Her eyes filled with tears and her heart ached for her boy, but she forced back the tears and swallowed the aehe and talked until the shadows began to lengthen o11 the walls. Goodbye, Henri, she said, as she kissed him. May God bless you and keep you for his own. I,ook for me to-morrow in the crowd. And show them a lfrcnch- man is a soldier. 'KGoodbye, my boy, and again may God bless youf' She was gone, but she left behind her the brightest heart that cell had ever seen. The next morning dawned. Down the street came a ruf'He of drums and a sad procession came into view. In the midst of it marched a boy, only a boy. but his head was up, his shoulders were back and he marched gayly and looked happily at all nature. Many hearts ached ashe bravely took his place and smiled at a pale- faeed little lady i11 the crowd. Still he smiled as the guns were loaded, aimed- l irelU rang the fatal word. The bullets whistled through the air and thc boy, with one last look of love and confidence for his mother, fell to the ground.

IRMA SPANGLER, '17 1525 I' 'i nf?u7L.9 3 7, -, Q, igitfai f THE CANTONIAN 1916 Jemima and Jimmie 65 IMMIHH MADISON was christened Jemima Jane. but if anv one should have asked her what l1er name was she would have said, Jimmie.U Jemima Jane was o11ly applied to Aunt Jemima, for whom Jimmie was named, while Jemima Jane, second, was Jimmie'l to every one but that aunt. All the Madison family, big and little, came to the old country mansion for Thanksgiving and they had excellent reasons for doing so. Grandmother Madisonis pantry was always full of good things to eat 'and the Thanksgiving dinner was fit for a king. The older people spent the day in conversation. They discussed every- thing, from the national problems of the day, to their youngsters and what they did. The children, though, were the ones whose delight knew no bounds when Thanksgiv- ing Day was mentioned. That was a day of pure, undefiled fun for them, especially if there was snow on the ground, for there was a big hill to coast down, ust back of the house, with a pond at the base. On this particular Thanksgiving Day, Jimmie opened her eyes upon a sparkling, dazzling world of white. There was snow, snow everywhere. The trees, fences, and telephone wires were covered with a glistening mantle. Jimmie saw in a minute vis- ions of coasting. snow battles, and skating. Oh. wasn't it perfectly lovely to have it snow ust at the right time. Downstairs, Grandmother was getting breakfast and Jimmie became suddenly very hungry, as the appetizing odor of pancakes penetrated the room. Soon they were all at the table feasting and planning for the day. lvhen breakfast was over, the remainder of the aunts. uncles, and cousins began to arrive. bundled in fnrs and robes from head to foot, as they elambered from their sleighs. The bigger boys started to shovel the snow off the pond and the younger children became actively engaged in building immense snow forts. The grown-ups went about the house laughing and chatting, amusing themselves in less vigorous pastime than the young- sters. Jimmie was completely happyg there was nothing to mar her fun. Aunt Jemima was in Europe and therefore eouldn't lecture Jimmie on manners, holding up her own childhood as an example. Miss Jemima had never snow-balled, had never eoasted, never skated, never played like other girls. Jimmie couldnit imagine how Aunt Jemima had spent her time and to all her inquiries Miss Jemima had an- swered that she did the things that any little lady should. YVhat those things were, however, Miss Jemima never said. All morning the children eoasted and skated. Some of them fell and hit their heads on the ice but they didnit mind. It was fun to tumble down and get up to try again. Just before noon the snow tight began. The forts were in the front yard, one facing the porch, with the gate just behind it, and the other facing the gate, with the porch just behind it. The gate and porch provided a means of escape if one was lucky enough to slip away unnoticed by one's opponents. Unhappy it was, however, if one was seen trying to slip out, for that head became a target for a dozen solid snowballs. as did every head that was raised above the fort. The battle was growing quite fierce, when suddenly one of the garrison of the fort, nearest the porch, saw a head above the other fort, just in the gate. Believing this to be someone who was trying to escape, the children showered the snowballs thick and fast upon that head and it soon disappeared with a jerk. Jimmie, de- lighted to see an opponent fall, was shouting 'tGoodie! Goodie in with the rest of the garrison. when one of the opposing force called out, I say. kids, it's Aunt Jemima! If Jimmie could have fainted on the spot she would have been desperately thankful. but she eouldnlt. She only ran into the house to hear what Aunt Jemima 1916 THE CANTONIAN had to say, for that she would say quite a good deal, Jimmie did not doubt in the least. She was right in her supposition, for Aunt Jemima was telling her story. That wicked child screamed AGoodie' like a wild Indianlu she exclaimed. I,m honestly surprised, Helen, that you let her do such things. I can't imagine why you let her behave in that manner. lim sure it wasnit and isn't considered Iadylike for girls to knock their aunts over with snowballs and then shout with glee over itf, But Jemima, began Jimmie's mother. Oh, yes, I supposed you would try to excuse her. For my part. I'm ashamed that my namesake should aet so uneouth and I think it would be more ladylike if you were ashamed of it, too. You arenit going to punish her at all, I suppose. It doesn't make any difference about me. I ean assure you that Iim not used to being treated in such a mannerf' Jimmiels mother and father looked at eaeh other. at Aunt Jemima. and at poor Jimmie. Finally Mr. lfadison said: VVell, Jemima, I'll think about it, but Iim not going to punish the child to-day. Go back to your game, Jimmie, and play as hard as you wishf' A few minutes later Jimmie was telling her cousins what a wonderful daddy she had, and lIiss Jemima was in her room, bewailing the fate of the human raee, if children weren't trained, but just allowed to grow upf' FRANCES YV.

ALiii4:ie'r I'IOLLANDSXYOR'I'lI, '16 THE CANTONIAN 1916 Efficiency for the Student N one sense the student is as much of a business individual as a factory owner, And wherever business is involved, rules to increase the efliciency of that business should by all means be considered and, when possible, adopted. lVhile the factory owners aim is to eeonomize in dollars and cents, the student endeavors to economize in brains. To economize in brains he must learn how to spend his time so that the best results may be obtained for the least amount of time and brain however expended. In the first place every student should have a definite aim in life. Have an ideal and be enthusiastic about it. Study your body and brain equipment. and be sure that it will fit the life work which you have chosen. Then as you take up your course of studies. choose the one which will benefit you the most in that work. Do not be afraid that some of the studies in your course will not benefit youg for they have been out- lined by heads which are older than yours. and consequently know what is best for most students. But--there are exceptions to the ruleg and if in extreme doubt as to the value of studying certain subjects, consult some person of high standing who has had similar problems to solve. Second, use system in study preparation. Arrange your studies so that the most diflicult ones come first in the day when the mind is fresh. Estimate the amount of time necessary to prepare each lesson. try to have the preparation come at the same hour each day, and stick with it until you have mastered it. VVhen studying at home seek seclusion in well ventilated rooms: or at least try to avoid the conversation of other people. Concentration of thought upon the subject is essential for clear and rapid thinking. Connect the points gained in each dayis work with the preceding ones. and so obtain a general idea as to the purpose of it all. Third, assume the right attitude toward your work and choose the proper envir- onment. Learn to like your studies by allowing no ill thoughts of them to enter your mind, and by discussing them freely with your parents. your teachers, and your fel- low students. Try to apply them to the practical side of life. Never let the 1ni11d wander on some other subject when a more vital discussion or scene of interest is at hand. A fresh and happy mind will aid you greatly by enabling you to solve prob- lems quickly. It can i11 a large part be attained in taking immediate interest in inci- dents at hand. by being congenial with the worldg by taking the proper amount of daily exerciseg and by abstaining from unnecessary midnight engagements and ex- cessive luxuries. Again. by avoiding studying directly after meals. the food will have a better chance to digest, and the brain will have a rest. And above all, if you ever get to the point where your mind becomes dull from continuous studying. stop and rest until fit to resume work. Having mastered those principles. the student will not have attained the highest state of efheieney in school work. for that is impossibleg but he will have attained an efhciency which will enable him to obtain his education in a quicker and a more agree- able manner. HOBART SNIDER, ,IG l ,. - i 1916 THE CANTONIAN What is the Best Thing in Our Town? HAT is the best thing in our town? Perhaps nine people out of ten would at once reply, 'KThe P. Sz O. Factory. But l believe that there is another asso- ciation which does as much good ill a more humble way than the mighty factory of which Canton has good reason to be proud. This other organization is the Associated Charities. Not that this association is as large as many other Canton organizations, or not that it is as wealthy. On the contrary, most of the means for its work is do- nated by the people in the town. It does not cover a vast territory, but it does real good in the territory which it does cover. So, l believe that this organization is a splendid one for Canton. The Associated Charities is an organization composed, as its name would indi- cate, of Various lodges, churches, and clubs which wish to help Cantonls needy and dependent. At the head of the Association is a Committee of Mlays and lfeans. the personnel of which is Mrs. M. L. Fntwistle, a member of the School Board, Miss Helen Gallagher, a Canton school teacher, and Miss Mattie Havermale, the Associa- tionis visiting nurse. The dues of the organization are two dollars a year. These dues are often sadly neglected. This is an unfortunate thing indeed, as the Associa- tion needs the money badly to carry out its winter campaign. Since this is true, the organization is forced to appeal to the public to help carry on its good work. If all the organizations belonging to the Association as a whole, would pay their dues, little public aid would be necessary. One of the Associated Charities' greatest benefits to Cantonis poor are the visits of the visiting nurse, Miss Mattie Havermale. Always cheerful and smiling, she carries joy into many desolate homes. It is she, assisted by Truant Othcer Leary, who distributes clothing, fuel, bedding and food to the needy. They also find labor for those out of employment but willing to work. The visiting nurse and truant offi- cer often tind homes for children deserted by their parents. Those for whom no home can be found, they take to state homes for poor children. In case of sickness in a poverty stricken home, the visiting nurse gives medical aid, assisting the county physi- cian. Statistics show that great good has been done by Miss Havermale and Mr. Leary, but statistics show none of the sentiment and sympathy which is given to the poor by the nurse and truant officer as they make their daily rounds. It is they. aided by other members of the association and outsiders, who cheer and help the needy and dependent throughout the year. It is the duty of every loyal Cantoniau to help along the good work of the Associated Charities, the best thing in our town.

Fs'1'HER SAULL, 'IG THE CANTONIAN 1916 Oniy an Incident cc 0 you want me to tell you a war story, eh, said Grandfather Schwartz. Six young people were grouped around the fire place and all of them nodded ex- peetantly as the old man slowly repeated their request. VVell, he said reminiseently, this little incident happened about twenty years ago. I guess the war hadn't been goin' on 1nor'n a year and a half then. I don't know as it was very important as there was spies aplenty around and lots of 'em bein' caught and shot, o' course, but this here one always struck me as bein' kind o' sad. You know I've told you before that at the beginnin' of the war aeroplanes was just beginnin' to be used for practical things. VVell, this young fellow I'm goin' to tell you about, Henri was his name, was a Frenchman. Him and his mother, the last of a proud, haughty family, lived in AlsacefI,orrainc. I was livin' there before the war broke out and I knew 'em both pretty well. Nice-both of 'em. My! but she was proud of that boy. He wasn't mor'n seventeen. but he stood head and shoulders above her. lvell, when the war broke out he enlisted o' course, and things went al- right I guess for 'bout a year an' half, as I said. Henri was a smart young fellow a11d he was an oflicer of one of the small regiments. He got interested in aeroplancs, but they was just comin' into use then and I guess they wasn't quite as safe as they are nowadays. But that wouldn't have made any difference in war times. VVell. our army was agettin' a little too close to the border to suit the French, I guess, and so Henri was sent up in an airship with an older officer to find out what our exact position was. lVe fired on '-cm, o' course, and as luck or fate, whichever one you want to call it. would have it, We hit 'em. Their machine comes a crashin' to the ground right in the middle of our camp. The fellow that was with him got smashed up pretty bad, I remember, but Henri climbed out from under the wreckage with hardly a scratch on him. lVe took 'em both prisoners, but I ean't seem to think what become of that other fellow. I don't know, but it kind o' seems to me like he died the next dayfbut that hasn't got anything to do with Henri. He was nothin' more a boy and when he found out he was goin' to be shot as a spy he just broke down and cried like a baby. It was awful to see him, I can tell you. Seemed like all his courage and bravery deserted him all at once. I felt sorry for him, but I felt sorrier for his mother. He was all she had and she was so proud of him. He wanted to sec her so bad, too, but it didn't seem like any of our men took pity on him and offered to send for her. I knew where she was livin' so I decided to send for her. It wasn't very far away, so I got leave to go myself. She took on pretty bad at first about him havin' to be shot, but when she got over the shock she calmed down and begun to think about him cryin'. To be shot as a spy, she said, wasn't no dishonor, but when it come to him cryin' about it-well, that was a dis- grace, not only to the French army, but to their good old name. Slle couldn't bear to have him act afraid to die for his country. Their name was very old and that word 'coward' hadn't never been coupled with it. f'Well, whe11 we got to camp it was dark. He was to be shot the next morning with two or three other prisoners. I took her right to his tent and you ought to have seen him cheer up when he saw her. He was surprised, for he l1adn't known she was eomin'. She stayed with him the rest of the night and nobody never knew what she said to him to make him so straight and strong like he was the next mornin' when he come out at sunup to meet death. I'm mighty glad to tell you that I wasn't on that firin' squad, for when I heard that shot ring out, I don't mind tellin' you I had to cry and there's no tellin' what I'd done if I'd had to tire at him. The veteran ended his story in a slow, soft voice and his eyes had a dreamy far- away look in them which plainly told his grandchildren that he was not thinking of them just then. and so they went quietly out of the room and left him alone with his thgughtg, .-XNNETTE Sl'2NlfIKlfIR, '17 1916 THE CANTONIAN Hot HE sun beat down mercilessly upon the city streets and the glare from the pave- ment blinded the eyes and parched the lips. No breath of air stirred and an overpowering sense of sutfoeation hung over everything. All who could, sought the darker, less glaring heat of the houses, but it was scarcely less unendurable there. An occasional delivery cart or milk wagon rattled past, with the driver drooping list- lessly in his seat and the horses dripping with perspiration. The policeman on the corner wiped the moisture from his face as he waved a limp hand at the street car conductor in his shirt sleeves who answered witl1 a weary nod of the head. In the tenement district the children sat on the curbing with their feet in the gutter or drooped in the doorways, waiting wearily for the coolness of the evening. At last the newsboys' shrill cries penetrated the air and the people hastened to look over the list of those prostrated by the heat. Soon, however, the shadows of evening veiled the sun's wrathful countenance and a cool breeze brought relief to the suffering world.

On the front page of the first paper which he picked up was a picture which some tender-hearted or well paid cartoonist had laboriously sketched. The scene represented was that of an old-fashioned kitchen. A glimpse could be obtained of the pantry and through a half open door, and the printed dainties made John Astorls mouth water. Near the center of the room stood an old-fashioned mother welcoming a well-groomed and long lost son. Through the old-fashioned window could be seen an old-fashioned father putting up old Doblin. The cartoon strangely affected the wealthy man and laying aside the paper he fell into a deep reverie. Once again he was a boy, back on the old farm. in good old Vermont State, and he saw the old surroundings. his mother and father, the old barn. the well and the little attic in which he used to sleep. Then he thought of the many tales which had reached his ears of the glories of the city, how his roving spirit had overpowered his better judgment and caused him to determine to leave the old folk and make his fortune in that golden city of New York. He thought of his weary journey to the city and his entrance there. He had been a long. lanky eountriiied lad witl1 little education and less resources. He soon found out that gold was not to be had for the asking and that the city was Iltlt the heaven which he had pictured. but instead. was one long continual battle which has been rightly called the survival of the iittest. But his Astor grit had been his mainstay and he had slowly worked his way upward. His folks were now dead and the money received from the homestead had come at a critical time and enabled him to continue his financial climb. He now had more money than he could possibly spend in two life times and was rapidly mak- ing more. He had never married. saying that he hadn't time to bother with a home. .lust then a far-away voice seemed to say. To-morrow is Thanksgivingf' Yvhat had he to be thankful for? He had no real homes-still he must have something. He sat up with a start. took out his watch. looked at it and heaved a sigh of relief. Zounds. he exclaimed softly, l came near forgetting that l was to finish that Stockton deal at four. That will add another twenty thousand to my little wadf' Roseau AGVIQ, '16 Will! KHlllHNIHifilllllllllllilllilltlllil lllllllll Efficiency in the High School HE first aid to an efficient High School is plenty of room. Coupled with this is the need of a larger teaching force. Both of these factors are badly needed in Canton High School. At present thc class rooms are far too crowded. This is the ditlieulty in the Assembly Hall. too. The teachers have to hear classes which are out of their line of work. Besides having six classes daily and one consultation period. they must be in charge of the Assembly one period. Some teachers are in charge two periods. Added to this is extra work. such as Declamatory. Debates, Extemporan- eous training. For such extra work as this an extra teacher should be provided as a 1916 THE CANTONIAN regular teacher has enough to do without the added burden which of course such work is. Light, air and an adequate heating system are necessities for a more efiicient High School. The light is not so bad as it might be in Canton High because the Study Hall l1as a great number of windows and most of the class rooms have good light. Tl1e ventilation is bad because of the crowded condition and year by year it becomes worse. This should be remedied. Another great difficulty here is the lack of proper equipment. This includes more extensive Laboratory equipment and a more extensive school Library. The science equipment is especially poor. Laboratory work is very beneficial, for great educators tell us that we learn by doing. This is true, for one gains great value in the figuring out of experiments. lVhile we have a school library, to a certain extent. it is scarcely adequate enough to mention. The great need of books is in History. It is here we are short, having only a few volumes for many students to use. I think that fifteen minutes at least three times a week for Chapel would help wonderfully. lXIusic hath charms to soothe the savage heart,U we are told, and I think that while we are not literally savages, a little music every morning would do wonders toward brightening the day and improving the efHciency of the school and students. Other things which would make for greater ethciency are compulsory Physical Culture, Public Speaking and systematic method of study. The first of these is made compulsory by state law, but because inefiicient equipment and the larger number in High School it is impossible here. Public speaking should be for all, as its benefits to the student are more than he realizes. If this should be introduced, as they are thinking of doing, it would necessitate the forming of a class of advanced students for those who have it this year. As to the matter of a method of study, it seems to me that rests with the student. He is to be the judge of how he must study. No hard and fast rule could be laid down because every one would not be able to use it. An efhcient method will make an efiieient student, who will in turn make an etlieicnt SCh00l- CiRAf'E SILVA, ,IG IIWHII HIIHIHHHHNHHHUHIHNHHHIIIIN iiiiiiiii H seedling Under the leaves that are under the trees, A little voice was heard to murmur: lVon't the breeze blow and scatter the leaves So I can talk to my mother?', The wind heard the murmur and scattered the leaves.

PIALLIE FILLINGHAM, ,16 THE CANTONIAN 1916 The Christmas Old Monarch Brought ARRY TABOR was a stoutly built boy of fifteen years. To look at him one would think he were older, because he had a look of responsibility on his face. In truth, he was older than most boys of his age, being the sole means of support of his mother and little eight-year-old sister, Nan. At the present time he was thinking of a great holiday which was not far off. Here it was the twenty-first day of De- cember and he, Harry Tabor, l1ad not made a single move to get Nan the dolly for which she had been so earnestly pleading. He had fully made up his mind to buy the doll, for he well remembered the bitter look of disappointment last Christmas on her face when she at last satisfied herself that her stockings were empty. Harry was in the woods, about a mile from the little cabin which he knew as home. He had seen no game all day and so becoming tired he turned his steps homeward. As he neared the cabin he heard his mother singing, at her work. As Harry entered she greeted him with a joyful smile. BIother,H said Harry, with a tremor in his voice, I donit know what is to become of us, I haven't killed a thing to-day. Never mind, said she, I still have a small amount of money. Now I want you to go down to the mining camp and get some groceric-sf, Harry hustled off for the mining camp, which was about two miles distant. In a short time he was back again, breathless with excitement. Mother,'y he blurted out, what do you think? There is a man down at the camp who says he'll give two hundred dollars for the horns of 'Old hIonareh.' Now Mrs. Tabor knew no more about Old Monarchu than the man in the moon. so she merely gazed at him blankly. Then Harry explained to her that Old Mon- archy' was a large elk which was well known to every hunter who roamed the great Northern woods. He told her that at dusk he was going to try his luck in pitting his senses against those of Old Monarch. Sundown saw him trudging through the woods with a high powered rifle under his arm which he had borrowed of a man at the mining camp. He concealed himself in a thieket along the banks of a small stream, thinking that he would get Old Klon- arch when he came to drink. In the darkness of night he waited for three hours. At last the moon showed his smiling face above the tops of the giant pines. Now unless he was very much mistaken he would see some big game i11 a very short time. Another hour passed, but still no signs of Old INIonareh.', Presently the crackling of bushes announced the presence of animals coming to drink. Many of the smaller animals came illld went. At last came the supreme moment. Harry looked up and his gaze fell on Old INIonarch,l' nose uplifted, antlers in the air and head shaking from side to side. It was but the work of an instant to press the trigger and send a bullet crashing into the brain of the great fellow, Old Monarch. However, it seemed that one bullet was not suflicient to take the life from this king of the woods, who was now about one-half century of age. Perhaps you never saw an angry. wounded elk. but if you have, it's a cinch you never want to see another. This particular elk made straight for Harry, who could hardly see to shoot by this time. Nevertheless he fired' and knew the 'bullet took effect, because of the frightful roar. On came the maddened elk and again Harry fired. There was an awful crash and the giant elk fell dead at the boy's feet. The horns of Old Monarch now adorn the wall of a banquet room in Chicago. Harry Tabor, of course. was made happy by the two hundred dollars. Now I leave you to guess how a boy of the sterling qualities of Harry Tabor used his money. al- though I may add, that Nan got her Christmas doll.

That is-er!-a very good price, indeed, for that is a very old pin-and probably worthless4yes. probably worthlessfy The old pawn-broker rubbed his hands together knowingly and his small. bead- likc eyes followed his customer warily as she slowly took the proffered money and handed l1im the pin. It was like parting with an old and loyal friend to part with that jewel. It had been ill the family for generations and was the last of a very valuable collection. Its owner was-oh! if she only knew, if she really wasfthe very last of a very distinguished family of old England-a once very rich and pow- erful family that had for generations furnished ruling men for English government and war. Now there was no trace of its former wealth in this poor womanfs shabby attire. but the old pride shone keenly in the blue eyes and poise of the slender frame. The delicate features were marked by sorrow and poverty. but the hair, like a soft. new drift of snow, crowned the shapely head. Leaving the dingy pawn-shop. she passed slowly down the narrow street. From the distance came the muffled sound of guns and the sun, scarlet with the blood of the battlefield. sank slowly behind the tall buildings on the western horizon. As she picked her way through the ruins and spoils of war the frail shoulders drooped and the queenly head was bowed. It was the eve before Thanksgiving and she tried bravely to offer thanks to God for-what F-for a ruined home P--for the death of her soldier husband P-for her sonfs departure to the field of battle Ffperhaps he, too. had passed into that great unknown. Oh, if she Ollly knew! She struggled bravely to keep back the tears and continue her prayer, but ever before her stood the picture of the old days. the beautiful home. the kind soldier father and husband. the gentle, loving mother. and the care-free boy ust upon manhood's threshold. Far back from the street stood a great stone mansion. surrounded by spacious grounds. lnvoluntarily she stoppedg her eyes gazing at the brightly lighted house from which issued strains of music, men's coarse laughter. and the clinking of glass. This was her home-home no longer. but a reveling place for the German troops. At the harsh command of a guard she passed slowly on. The evening twilight deep- ened. She walked from one street to another in hopeless despair. The moon rose full and bright. and the stars, one by one, peeped from the black caverns of the sky. At last she stopped before a dark, vine-covered building. The doors stood open and falteringly she climbed the broad steps and entering, passed slowly down the aisle and knelt before the altar. Vvhen she awakened from what seemed to her a long. dreamless sleep. she was lying on a soft rug and :1 silent figure bent over her. She stared unbelievingly into the white, haggard face and grave. blue eyesg then her eyes wandered to the ragged dust-covered uniform, ornamented with an iron cross. Strong arms encircled her and held her close. It was Thanksgiving morn. and the first faint rays of dawn lightened the inky shadows of the church and the sun, through the tall. stained glass windows, fell upon two figures. kneeling before the altar.

X W tml V59 School Parade N Tuesday, October 19th, the school children of Canton assembled at the High School, from which they marched through the business district of the city. This parade was under the auspices of the Canton Commercial Club and was to show the large number of children in school, and to show the great need of a new building. The P. Sz O. band led the procession, then came'the Board of Education, then about twenty High School boys and after this the High School proper and the fac- ulty. After this came the High School grades and the different grade schools. each having a banner. They marched east to First Avenue. then north to Locust, west to Main, south to Pine, east to VVhite Ct., and north to Jones' park where all assembled. Here the songs, Illinois and America, were sung and after this the children were dismissed. Moving pictures were taken of the whole affair and will be kept and shown for many years. Judging from the crowds of spectators and the last school election, the affair was a huge success and accomplished its expected task.

Gicomm LANE, '04 HAT is the Canton High School Alumni Association? Did you ever ask your- self what it is? Or is the question so ordinary, and the answer so obvious, that you considered it a thing to be wholly taken for granted. Do you think of the Canton Association merely as an organization of Canton High School graduates? Did you ever stop to consider what that organization stands for, and what it .vfzould stand for? Perhaps the present High School students think of it as the source of a 3100.00 scholarship, some think of it in connection with a certain silver trophy cup. and some are only reminded of the annual reception which is given each year's grad- uating class in the name of the Association. Scholarship, trophy cup, and reception! Is that all that the hundreds of Canton High School graduates, as an organization, mean to Canton High School now? VVe shall leave the question to be answered by those who will. The interest of the Alumni in the interscholastic debates has found expression these last three years. The work of the debating societies has been of the highest order, and by way of appreciation and encouragement, the Alumni have presented the 191111 and 1915 Knox debating teams with a silver trophy cup on which are en- graved the names of the members of each team. Last year the names of Roy Nelson. Otto hfeier, Lois Ryno, Gomer Bath, Fred lleier, and Hobart Snyder were placed on the cup, still leaving room for the six names of this year's team. In 191-14 the Alumni scholarship of one hundred dollars was offered to the grad- uate who stood second in the John Dean Scholarship examination. This was won in 191-14 by James Scott. Of the 1915 class, Elizabeth Crane proved herself most worthy of the offer, and is Pow using it to advantage as a student of Hedding Col- lege. VVe feel that the scholarship is the most worth-while effort that the Associa- tion can make for the High School, and it is sincerely hoped that Alumni members will show interest and generosity enough, not only to make the scholarship perma- nent, but to increase its value. These things can not be done unless the enthusiasm of the Association can be revived. This means that the new ideas, strength, and youth of the younger classes must be brought to a focus, and set to some real purpose by the more experienced members. This work has its beginning at the annual reception when the new grad- uating class is received into membership. May each Alumnus make a special ctfort to attend that reception this year, to revive the lagging interest, and to help make the Canton High School Alumni Association accomplish its true purpose.
