O the Board of Education is due a large amount of credit which they N- :W sr never receive. The sooner the citizens of Canton wake up to this fact :' ,, the better informed they will be. The Board is made up of a number lain of our most public spirited citizens, inasmuch as, contrary to the gen- ,lg il. N r eral opinion, the only remuneration they receive is criticism, the cheap- fG. d est of all cheap talk. The progress made by the Board is readily seen when one remem- bers the changes which have taken place in the last few years throughout the entire public school system of Canton. A brief review of the most important undertakings which have been recently completed, under the able direction of the present and several of the former Boards, will give the reader some idea of what they have ac- complished: Building of the John Dean School, 1911. Building of the Ingersoll School, 1911. Building of the Anderson School, 1913. Remodeling of the VVright School, 1915. Remodeling of the Hulit School, 1917. Building of the Central Grammar School, 1916-1917. Reorganization of the High School, 1917. D The Board has shown its willingness to hear both sides of any question that arises and render justice. Mr. B. H. Taylor, the President of the Board, is a man who has not forgotten what it is to be a boy and consequently heartily supports school activities. . Mr. C. B. Coleman is one of those rare persons who, when work is to be done, bosses the job in his working clothes instead of watching it in a silk hat. Mrs. M. L. Entwistle, Mr. S. A. Drake, and Mr. F. M. Mosher, the other mem- bers, are conscientious workers who deserve the highest commendation possible. I l l l xl I . - , 1 U l I 7 l l A 1, 1-x- ' 1 0-7 --1, . . Q-,.Q,'g V . file?

During the successful year of 1917-18, tl1e student body of 'Canton High has been particularly fortunate in its several undertakings-in school work, lit- erary events, and athletics- and the close co- operation and guidance of the faculty has en- abled us to go through the most successful term in the history of the school without a slip. At tl1e Hrst of the year we were greatly disappointed to find several of our former teach- ers missing and we regret that they could not have remained to finish the last year with us. Mr. Butcher and Mr. Jennings had joined the army, hir. Franklin had gone to hliles City, Montana, to teach, Mr. Heller had accepted thc SWT. G. W, G1x'S'I414:Ii principalship at Covington, Kentucky, Miss Freeman and Miss Sehwittay were teaching elsewhere, and Miss Thomas had re- signed. Later Mr. Johnson resigned and accepted a government position at XVash- ington, D. C. The loss of these old friends was felt very much at the beginning. but gradually we became acquainted with the new members of the faculty and we settled down to work. The results obtained during the past year in regular work and in outside events show very clearly the efHciency and ability of tl1e faculty and their close cooperation with the student body. To begin with, we had a new principal, and after a few slight misunderstandings, we began to appreciate Mr. Bournis ability and person- ality. Mr. Bourn is one of thosebroad men who win with good grace and are not afraid to admit it when they are wrong. We want to thank him through the pages of this volume for his efforts and assure him that they are gratefully appreciated. Mr. Nicholas Hyma succeeded Mr. Butcher as instructor of Chemistry, and Mr. E. A. Huff took Mr. Franklinls place in History. Miss Elizabeth Tendick succeeded Miss Schwittay in German, and Miss Melba Quigley assumed charge of Miss Free- man's classes in Freshman and Sophomore English. Miss Aout took Miss Thomas, Penmanship classes. VVhen Mr. Johnson left, Miss O,Brien was put in charge of the Stenography and Typcwriting classes. Several of our old friends, who have proven their sterling worth in the past. remained with us and formed the nucleus for the faculty of 1917-18. Mr. Snively in charge of Public Speaking and Dramaticsg Miss VValker and Miss Marshall in Mathematics, Mr. King in the Vocational Training department, assisted by Mr. Dean Earnest, Mr. Buthod in Bookkeeping, Miss Elliott in English, Mrs. Leaman and Miss Slater in Domestic Science, and Mr. Stephens in Latin and Debating, all of whom have shown their ability in the past, remained. To all our old friends whom we knew and respected before this year, and to all those with whom we have become acquainted during the past term and have learned to respect, we wish to thank for their unflinching support and their untiring efforts to make Canton High School a bigger and better institution. lll Ill IIMII 12 CI-l.S.

I-I.S l l l l l l SENIOR FUNCTIONS THE CLASS REORGANIZES YVO weeks after the beginning of school the class of eighteen met for the purpose of reorganizing and electing officers. Mr. Bourn had charge of the meeting and he made a short talk upon the duties of the Senior Class and its responsibilities. After a caucus, candidates were nominated for the various offices and the voting pro- ceeded. The following officers were elected: Dean Barrick, Presidentg Leslie Mc- Millan, Vice President, Helen Graham, Secretary, and Harold Havermale, Treas- urer. Mr. Snively was unanimously chosen class teacher and Miss Slater was made chaperone and assistant class teacher. A great deal of enthusiasm was manifested at this, the first meeting, and this spirit has continued throughout the year, bringing the class to the end of the most successful year ever known at Canton High. SENIOR WEINER ROAST Friday, September 28, 1917. The Seniors started the schedule of social events by sending a vanguard of boys to select a spot and build a fire in Zeigler's woods. The eats were hidden in a tree. VVhen dusk came the Eighteeners had met on North Avenue A, and were on their way. After much tearing of clothes on the several wire fences and running up hill and down, the fire was stirred up and the eats brought from their safe hiding place. VVith smacking of lips and loving glances the delicious weiners were roasted and put between buns, pickles, mustard and then um um! Then nice, juicy marsh- mallows were held over the hot coals until they were a nice autumn color, this topped off the appetite. The remaining one-third of the eats were hid again and stories were told until the expected stealthy, sneaking, sneezing Juniors came. A battle royal was staged, the girls taking ringside seats about the fire. VVith much gnashing of teeth, tearing of shirts, jumping of creeks the enemy were routed. A controversy was oined in by all and water was brought for the thirsty warriors. NEW YEAR'S EVE A party was held at the home of Miss Helen Graham on New Year's Eve for the purpose of ushering in the New Year with all the ceremony due the coming of such an important period of time as the year of our graduation, 1918. The feature of the evening was a dime adventure which was sure some ad- venturef, The boys drew for partners and then after surrendering all valuables except one thin dime, tl1e various couples started from the house to the nearest point of interest, where the greatest amount of pleasure could be obtained by the expen- diture of the said dime. Such places as Gustine's, Nick's, Rashid's, the pop corn wagon and the gum machines were visited in an attempt to relieve themselves of the allotted sum. In most cases the object of purchase was bought after much haranguing as to the rela- tive merits of the article in question. Dame Rumor has it that one five-pound box of candy disappeared from the display counter of one of the candy stores about the Ill III llllI 34 C. H. S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I same time that a certain irresponsible Senior left for a healthier climate. lVe will say for the person in question that he admitted paying for it the next day. After all the adventurers had returned, war time refreshments consisting mainly of popcorn balls bought at a Red Cross benefit, and a bowl of punch, which was the ce11ter of attraction for the boys, were served. .lust at the hour of midnight a mock wedding was performed on two of the most susceptible subj ects, who happened to be Les McMillan and Fett Graham. The bride was attired in a flowing bridal robe of pure white night gown, while the groom was profusely decorated with mock roses fonionsQ, the fragrance of which was very penetrating, not to mention annoying. The preacher who did the job was the Rev. J. Dean Barrick, who turned tl1e trick so well that he felt entitled to kiss the bride and all the bridesmaids, which he at- tempted to do, meeting but with mediocre success. Tui VVilliams and Blanche Breed were best man and bridesmaid, while little Miss Cornelia Slatenappeared as flower girl. On the whole the wedding was a very touching affair. After tl1e ceremony was over, the happy couple left for their honeymoon fa walk around the blockj with the good wishes of all. By this time the date had changed from 1917 to 1918 and after a period of res- olution-making the party passed into history. SENIOR PARTY February iq, IQI8 Tuesday. and the main division of Seniors met at Miss Slater's home on YVest Elm Street, at seven-fifteen. They left at approximately seven-thirty, going in the most natural and efficient way, walking slow but sure against the old northwest wind. The crowd increased in numbers by picking members here and there, until finally the homemof Dale Earnest hove into sight. Arriving at eight bells the fun started off with a whiz and vim that warmed each eighteener so quick that they soon forgot the raging cold and forty-mile wind. Tid- dlewinks, sure that was tl1e game and fun such as you never saw before. The player- piano was all the time hammering its melodious notes throughout the house. A dainty sample luncheon was served first to the three basketball bovs, Irish, Mac, and Havers, which consisted of one-sixteenth of a dill pickle, one-half bite of fruit salad, the crust of a chicken sandwich, a spoonful of ice cream. and a glass of water. Of course the boys had to keep training and were sent home at midnight. The rest of the Seniors were served in generous amounts. Yells and cheers expressed the thanks of the eighteeners to the Earnest family who had proved to be such royal entertainers. Good night. ANOTHER PARTY At seven-thirty, March twenty-ninth, the Senior bunch journeyed by car to the home of Daisy Hollandsworth. The big country home of the Hollandsworths was an ideal place for the party and good old-fashioned hospitality seemed to stick out of every nook and corner, making everybody feel very much at home. Rollicking games furnished amusement until it was decidedly late and finally they reluctantly de- parted for home, marshalled by their chaperons, Ethan Snively, Miss Cornelia Slater, and Miss Dorothy Snively, Before they left, Miss Hollandsworth served a pretty and substantial lunch, using orange and white, the class colors, wherever possible.

S THE JuN1oRs OON after the beginning of the school term Canton High's Juniors met for or- ganization under Mr. Bourne's supervision. Sixty members were present and we elected the following ofiicers: President . . . . CARL HoKENsoN Vice President . . BIARY HOUSTON Treasurer . . . . ROBERT POWVELL Secretary ........ .... R UBY BATH Miss Marshall was chosen class teacher. Later in thc year our class colors- purple and white, our class flower--a yellow rose, and our class motto-Bi, BU, never Bb, were chosen. VVe began the school year with a grand rush by invading the stronghold of the Seniors at their lveiner Roast. lVhile the innocent Seniors were enjoying themselves around a blazing fire the Juniors stole up and gave such an unearthly scream as to frighten the poor Seniors out of a year's growth. Furthermore the President of the Senior Class was captured, much to tl1e chagrin of the rest of the members of that class. The Juniors soon made themselves feel at home and before the astonished Seniors could say anything, the Juniors had made a circle around the fire and were playing games. As the Seniors were not overly hospitable the Juniors after a time dispersed. Our debut into the social world had proven a success. Our parties have proven successful both from a financial and social standpoint. Our first party was held at the home of Ruth Corbin. YVe took the street car for a few miles and then walked the rest of the way. The evening was spent in music and games. The feature of the evening was an indoor track meet. Teams and captains were chosen and the team receiving the largest number of points was con- sidered the winner. Each captain sent a representative to each event. Don Story proved the star in the Standing Broad Grin, and Lena Vrell the star in the discus throw fa bag of airj. It was a very exciting meet and the class was found to possess much talent along that line. VVe took the car home, singing as we rode, thinking of the pleasant evening. After a few postponements the Seniors entertained us at a hard times social and carnival. Such a motley crowd! It seemed as if all the beggars of the world were having a convention. ' The Carnival proved a great success. The fortune teller and fat woman and the boneless wonder were all very wonderful. The Jass Band, however, was the big feature of the evening. A mock trial was also held. Cider and cookies were served and then games were played. The Seniors certainly proved themselves royal enter- tainers. On New Year's Eve the Juniors welcomed Baby 1918 at the home of Nellie Redfern. The house was very tastefully decorated with the class colors. A grand auction sale was held of very valuable articles, the packages going to the person of- fering the most grains of corn. Mr. Hokenson did himself justice as an auctioneer and we are of the opinion that he may some day become famous along that line of Ill Ill lllll 46 CHS. THE CANTONIAN I I I - - I I I work. As the hour of twelve struck, we all went outdoors and gave some rousing yells for dear old Canton High. A mock wedding was then held, Rev. Demont Obenshain ofhciating. Friday, March 29, Darline VVallace entertained us at her home on E. Walnut Street. Prof. Wallace was very kind in furnishing music. An impromptu program was held, Beryl Drake took the affirmative and Louis Fortenbach the negative on Resolved that Inflated Cushions should be used on Railway Trains. The two oppo- nents grew very violent and it was very hard to get them to cool down. Louis tried to prove that ivory seats would be much better, but his proof was not strong enough. Both teams were very nervous while the judges were deliberating and when the judges finally made a decision in favor of the affirmative it was feared that Mr. Fortenbach would not recover from the shock, however he did, when the refresh- ments were served. No amount of entreaties could induce Elmer Brown to sing the VVild, Wild Women, but VVop', consented to sing for us but refused to dance. On the whole, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Our next party will be our reception for the Seniors. Because of the war we have held no customary food or candy sales, but nevertheless we were able to con- tribute five dollars to the Red Triangle of the Y. M. C. A. Our class also contributed to the Liberty Bond Fund. VVe have organized a Thrift Stamp Club in which the membership has been increasing steadily. A few members of our class have joined the Four Minute Menu organization. A number of our boys are going to join the Agricultural army as soon as school is out and others are going to join before school is out. In fact, we have been very active in helping our government in the war. The Juniors carried away the honors in the Declamatory contests. Robert Powell receiving first place in the boys' contest at home and second place in the Big Eight contest. Carrie Crockett received first place in the girls' contest at home and although she did not place in the Big Eight contest, nevertheless she made a splendid showing. Herschel Sanders represented us on the regular basket ball team, while Carl Hokenson was one of the extra subs. Sanders has been doing wonderful work this year and as a result he was chosen on the All Star Team at the Peoria District Tour- nament. The team has chosen him as captain of the 1919 basket ball team. VVe expect some wonderful things of our captain and we shall probably get them. Lyle Baughman represented the Juniors on the Knox Debating team. Lyle certainly does very good work and we expect even better work next year. The extemporaneous contests have not started work at this writing, but we sin- cerely hope that the Juniors will be represented. Of course the Juniors will show what they can do in track. VVe do not know yet who our representatives will be, but we will have some. Gladys VVeaver has been the Junior Reporter for the Pennant and Jesse Thrush as Business Manager has 'done much to make the paper a success. The Junior plays were given Thursday, March 28, and were very good. The plays were Joint Owners in Spain, Sunset,', Gretna Greenf, and Romney, Prince of Court Paintersf, The audience was very large and the plays were en- joyed very much. The proceeds will go to make the Reception a success. On the whole we have done quite well this year, but we are going to do even better next year. Rah! Rah! Juniors, '19! Rah! Rah! Rah!

THE CANTONIAN l I I T l l I THE FRESHMEN HIS year's Freshmen Class contains some of the most promising material which has as yet entered Canton High. In number they far exceed any other Fresh- men Class in the history of the school. During the first year of high school it is not easy to induce these members to contest in the various school activities. This class, however, has certainly done its share in many of the functions. Although none of their class were on the basket ball team they supported basket ball and all other activities, and are to be congratulated for the spirit they have shown.

HS I I I I I I THE COUNTY FAIR CAS seen by Farmer Koboshj ' PITE o' its bein, winter an' perty cold, folks from all 'round came t' our county fair, held in November, 1917, here in Gym-Center. The best of farri'lies, includin' the Juniors and Faculties, was down from Jones park, North o' here an' most all ther Seniors turn'd out's well as ever I seen. Course it t'was to cold fur t' show vegetables ani such, but we had som' fair, believe me, bo! Most any o' the attractions Y'd want to C. Pa Bourn was down fer the occasion with the l1ul fam'ly an' I was tal,r'ble proud to introduce 'em to the marvels in our side shows. Katherine Strong was the 3 legged woman who has just got back from a tour of the VVorld, an' we had a fat woman frum a circus in the next town, along with her sister who was a snake charmer an' had lots of big ugly snakes, an' little white rats. The young 'uns sure was fascinated. Theyid a ben ther yet, I reckon, if I hadn't hauled 'em along. Took 'em ter ride on the rnerri-go-round ter keep 'em quiet. Then there was them dancing girls. I wanted ter see dance. I was clean mystiiied myself at the tricks we seen in one of them ther side shows U know, aw shucks, I couldn't tell yer anything about it 'cause if I did then you'd no as much about it as I do. VVe run the fair for a good time. VVl1at the kids couldn't think o' doin' to worrin' me is more'n I kin say ter their fool questions. VVhat was excitin, was the hoss races. They was more thrillin' than all our town fires ever wus. I had all my money on the big hoss that was all strip'd up like a zebra, corse I kep quiet cans' I didn't want them kids ter know it and go ter bcttini. I held my breth tite till I hear them snorting mares peltin' fer the finish, where ol' man Snively tolled the bell an' kep things mooving in general. Do you know the cute thing was them durn kids kum around showing me their pennies, they'd won bettin' on the race hosses. I jist gave 'em the dickens, but kept kickin' myself every time I sed a word, caus wasn't them kids a chip off the old block. Then I got 'em some good old apple cider an' cookies. Then fer the first time, ter show them kids how smart I wus, I goes over ter thro' at them nigger babies, but gosh there was such a smart lookin' gal at that stand with her hair all up on them there spit curls. It cost me just six bits afore I new enuf to quit and go ter see the Ciarete Fiend, the thinist man alive and believe me I niver spose I'll see sich a human bein' again in my life, taint natur'l that's all. In the next booth were a bearded lady, by gum she had more whiskers on her face as I expect could grow on mine in a century. The band hit up another tune and the kiddies, corse I had ter chase arter 'em, but by gum a fortune tellin' woman grabs my paw an' Pshaw! X P l When I got out o' that tent I found them klids spendin' their pennies gettin' their picture took. Then there was a big, squint-eyed Irish policeman chasen' thru the crowd caus' one o' the jockeys beat upon a bum, the jockey got away an' the cop didn't no what ter do an' just rested the bum on a lot of funny names?!. U know the court house stands on the corner an, everybody had ter go ter see what they was goin' to do to that old bum. A couple of fiery law- yer guys got up, and spouted off a rigo'-mo'-role as big as our old barn. An, cum to fin' out, the bum had a cork leg, three ribs cracked, ingrown toenail, mumps, an' what not. Ouchl an' when the vampirish lookin' women jurist and judge heard the speech and ailments of the bum. Well! I grabbed them kids an' chased 'em all home for fear they'd catch all them germs staying out late. An' I have ter laff now when I think about it, me o' sendin' them happy kids i home t' the sandman when they wus havin' such a grand and glorious time. MAC, '18 III III q IIIIII 64 v C. HS.

The scene of the Juniors' activities was discovered to be at the home of Ruth Corbin, about three miles northeast of town. The Senior revenge machine started working during the ball game with Farm- ington. tl1e afternoon of October the fifth. Carl Hokenson. Junior elass president. while leaving the ganee early to return to work, was invited to ride the distance with four Seniors in Don Negly's ear. He accepted the invitation and was soon whirling out l'last f'hestnut street to- wards Savilleys greenhouse, where he was tied. the accompanying picture taken of the captive, and then left in a barn to remain until he got loose or until the Seniors saw fit to release him. The Seniors gathered at Biellillarfs Feather Factory at six oielock, and after finding Hokenson had escaped and that he had already gone to the place where the party was to be held, decided that the next best thing to do was to eapture a few .lun- iors before they had a chance to I attend the party. Consequently a party of Seniors, in Havermalels car. began touring about the square, making efforts to locate some of the enemy. Beryl Drake. llill lfouts. and .loe Strickler were discovered standing in front of the Pfister cigar store and were immediately attacked. Drake and liouts were captured and taken about three miles from the scene of the party and left to wan- der back. They reached the party during the fight but did not seem inclined to participate until the Seniors had left for home. The tight took place in C'orbin's fro11t yard where the Seniors had stationed themselves awaiting the arrival of the Juniors. VVhen the Juniors arrived they were engaged in battle and soon overcome by the huskier Seniors. Realizing the folly of continuing the struggle the .luniors found ref- uge on the porch illld in the house. After all attempts to induce the .luniors to renew the combat had failed the Seniors returned to town. ll Ill IIQII Cl-I.S. Tl-IE CANTONIAN I I I I I I TIELESS DAY E have meatless days to save meat, wheatless days to save wheat. lightless nights to save light and porkless days to save the pigs, but thus far no at- tempt has been made to save the Clothing. Q Thus the loyal and patriotic sons of C. H. S. bethought themselves and as a re- sult of following certain logical deductions it was found that the average length of use of an ordinary neektie was just three weeks and four days. making a sum total of twenty-live days. Moreover, there are according to ofiieial statistics about 225 stud- ious students engaged in studying studies who along with their studious inclinations are prone to wear neekties of various sizes. shapes. and colors for two main pure poses, to-wit: No. l. To obtain the admiration of the fairer sex. No. 2. To hide the front of a shirt which should have gone to the laundry the previous week. YVith these foregoing facts in mind some of our well known mathematical sharks came to the conclusion that by the omission of all neckwear by the said studious stu- dents for the length of one school day would make an average saving which would be equivalent to Illllt' ties. In view of the fact that such an enormous saving was involved it was immediately decreed that Thursday. February 7. 1918, would be the ofheial tieless day. Consequently on the appointed day hardly a tie was to be seen, only an enor- mous expanse of various colored shirt fronts were visible. It was hard luck day for the few who sought to evade the law. One of the regrettable facts was that the total saving was somewhat reduced because of the ties completely ruined by forceful re- moval from the ungainly necks of a few individuals. such as the President of the A. I.. ll. A. and the President of the Senior Class, who at first failed to observe the new eustom. As the day wore on some of the Beau Brummels could no longer bear to appear in public without some ornament to adorn their necks and consequently in the extreme ease of Abie Hale, he was permitted. by special provisions, to wear his tie on the back of his neck, as is shown in the accompanying picture, which was taken when a few of the worst eases', had assembled. III III 67 IliII THE CANTONIAN C. H. S. I I l l I I MISS CORNELIA SLATER HE Class of 1918 takes this means of cxpressing its thanks to Bliss Cornelia Slater, class chaperone. Miss Slater has sacrificed much of her time and labor in helping Mr. Snively, tl1e class teacher, look after the interests of the Senior Class. In times of our troubles we have always had her sympathy and encouragement. Much of the success of the class in winning the VVar Saving Stamp Campaign was due to her efforts. By working with the committee she was able to give them many ideas which with her help were carried out successfully, much to the satisfac- tion of the Senior Class. In planning parties and other social activities she has certainly contributed much toward making possible the many good times the Seniors have had together. The entire class joins in expressing their appreciation and respect for her. Ill I-I Ilill 68 C. H.S. THE CANTONIAN I l I l l l INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET N Monday, April 23rd, 1917, the first Inter-Class Track Meet which had been held for quite a number of years, was pulled off. The Class of 1919, Sopho- mores then, succeeded in winning the meet with a total of sixty-two points. Two members of the Sophomore team who, together captured twenty-three points, are now members of the Class of '18 which placed second in the meet with a total of thirty-two points. The Freshmen took third with eighteen points, while the Seniors of '17, whose numbers were greatly reduced by the measles, succeeded in bringing up the rear with six points.

On April 10, 1917, we gave up our President, Jennings Hunter, who had worked so nobly with us all year. Jennings came to Canton in 191-1-, a stranger to us, and entered the school with our class. Through his talent and ability he made friends and worked up his stand- ing until in 1917, when the Junior class organized, he was chosen president by his classmates. Besides being class president, he was prominent in basket ball, being on the team in y17. He was also a member of the debating team that year and a con- testant in the declamatory contest. Since he has been in the army he has done fine, being made Corporal the first year. Another member of our class, Ralph Brant, left us May 23, 1917, to go in de- fence of the colors. Ralph is a Canton boy whom everyone remembers as having been 'lone of usu from the grades on up. Ralph is in the 108th Engineer Corps, at present stationed at Camp Logan, Houston, Texas. Still another member of our class to go to the colors was Ray Derry, who left us May ith, 1917, for the Coast Artillery. He was recently transferred and is at present in the VVireless Corps at Fort Monroe, Virginia. Ray is a Corporal and ex- pects to be promoted again soon. The class of '18 is certainly proud of her representatives in the eountryys ser- viee and it is expected that our ranks in this line will increase after graduation.

Of course, by far tl1e greater number are Alumni, but this matters little, for we trust that all are still true to Alma Mater. In the numbers who have gone are some of the best athletes. some of the most brilliant and some of the noblest sons Canton High has ever produced. YVe are proud to know that they have responded so nobly to the cause and that they have been big enough to saerihee so much for our grand and glorious country. Canton High is doubly proud of eaeh and every one who has gone.

H. S OUR PART IN THE WAR ANTON HIGH SCHOOL has, in the last year, done its bit for the cause of America in the great war. It has bought hundreds of dollars worth of Liberty Bonds and VVar Savings Stamps, subscribed generously to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. 'iRed Trianglew campaigns and it has given several of its students to America. During the second Liberty Loan campaign, two bonds were purchased by tl1e students, one was purchased by tl1e Freshmen class and the other by tl1e student body through the A. L. M. A. The act of this class deserves especial commendation. The Freshmen are not allowed to organize, yet they have throughout the entire year dis- played a degree of energy and interest hitherto foreign to lower classmen in this school. The bond purchased by the student body will be kept by the Association until it is redeemable in 1923. When the Red Cross Campaign was being carried on, a collection was taken up in the school for a Red Cross donation. In the Y. M. C. A. Red Trianglev campaign, we also exerted a great amount of energy taking up the subject and making individual donations. The greatest work we have done, however, has been in the Thrift Campaign. VVhen the campaign was started during the winter, the school was made an authorized agency for the sale of the stamps. Then several contests were begun. Prizes were put up by various individuals interested, in the campaign. A silk American flag was offered as a prize to the class selling the largest amount of stamps pro rata to the number of students in the class. Another flag, the Illinois Centennial banner, was offered to the individual selling the largest amount. Still later, a silver cup was put up as a prize to be awarded to the student wl1o sold stamps to the largest number of people. Four teams were selected, one from each class, to carry on the work. The Cap- tains of the teams were: Howard Wood, Senior, Robert Powell, Junior, Claude Berry, Sophomore, Osborn Henry, Freshmen. The silver cup was awarded to Claude Berry of the Sophomores, who sold stamps to Hfty-nine different persons. His name was engraved on the cup which was then put in the trophy case. The Senior class easily won the remaining contests, being far in the lead. A Hag donated by F. A. Perkins was presented to the class for their triumph in this contest. One week later, the second flag, awarded to the individual selling the largest amount, was given to Howard WVood, of the Seniors, who sold 31,017.33 worth of stamps. Howardis nearest competitor, Burnett Ball, of the Freshmen, sold S3631 worth. The prize, an Illinois Centennial flag, was donated by P. P. Anderson. Early in March an organization called the Junior Four Minute Men, was created under the supervision of Mr. Stephens. The idea of this is to prepare speak- ers to push the war measures by speaking in public places. About a score of students enrolled and the work has progressed wonderfully. The Orendorff Prize, S825 in IVar Savings Stamps, was won by Howard VVood. of the Senior class, while the second prize of S15 was given to Robert Powell, and the third of S10 was won by Henry Meier. VVe are proud of our work in this line but we do not consider that we have done our share and so we shall continue to work. It is our duty. l l Ill lllill 76 C. I-1.5.

THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I DECLAMATION AND DEBATE LTHOUGH no firsts were won in either declamation or debating tl1is year. never- theless we can truthfully say that the year 1917-'18 has hcen a successful one in lmoth cases. Much new lnatcrial has heen developed which will he able to land the much coveted tirsts ncxi year or the one following. ln the Boys' Declalnatory Contest there were twelve contestants, all of whonn did fine work. Roh- ert Powell, winner of last year's contest, again was awarded first. llis selection was Pro l'atria, a reading hased on the present war. Powell did well with his subject and succeeded in getting second in the liig Eight Uontcst. Dean Barrick, giving a well known selection, The Han with One Talent, took second and will hc t'anton's contestant at the County contest this spring. Don Negly, with liurgundian Defiance. and liusscll Goodin, giving The Child, a declaniation of RTR. l'l'I'IIAN SNIVICLY his own cutting, were tied for third place hy ranking f 'l' f H l 'l ' of the judges, hut when the percentages were resorted to, it was found that Negly had the highest average and consequently was awarded third. In the Girls' Declaniatory Contest, which was held for four days hccausc of thc nuniher of contestants, was undouhtcdly the surprise of the season. Thirty-five girls participated in it and it was necessary to hold three Eliininary Contests hefore the final preliminary. In the final contest Carrie lirocket. giving The Star Spangled Banner, won first place and repre- sented llrs at Rock Island. Frances Saville, also using a patriotic selection, took second and will hc sent to the County contest in the spring, .Xilcen Snively won third place. Beginning thc dehating year with hut two veterans, Goodin and Barrick, a very well- halanced squad was developed. Lillian Hatfield, the first speaker of the .Xf'lirinative, is a Sophoniore and debated this year for thc first tinie. She is a quick thinker and a very convincing speaker. Howard XVood, a Senior, also on the team for the first tinie. spoke second and won thc admiration of the audience. The closing speaker was Russell Good- in, a veteran of three years' experience. llc was con- vincing and logical in his argument. Goodin will he lost hy graduation. l,yle Bauglnnan opened the dehate for the Neg- ative. This is his first year in dehating, hut he is a pleasing and experienced speaker. Carl vVllllkllllS, the second speaker, was full of pep and spoke con- vincingly. Ile is a graduate this year. The last speaker was Dean Barrick, for two years captain of the negative teanis. He spoke in his usual style. MR. S. D. S'l'El'IIENS Delurlflly fvllflfll W at W W Ill Ill 81 lllll THE CANTONIAN C. I-I. S.

Out of a field of nine contestants, Powell succeeded in placing second. Considering the quality of the contest and the schools which were represented we can feel justly proud of the showing made by our contestant. This year Monmoutlfs representative, John Turnbull, who is at the present a student of Canton High, won first, consequently we can boast that the winners of both Hrst and second are members of our student body. Dean Barrick, who won second in the preliminaries, will represent Canton! at the Fulton County Contest this spring unless the contest is called off. CROCKET1 SAVI LLE GIRLS' DECLAMATORY CONTEST C:ARRIE CROCKET with her declamation, the Star Spangled Bannerf' won out over a field of thirty-five contestants in the preliminaries and was chosen to represent us in the Big Eight Girls' Declamatory Contest at Rock Island. Although she did not place, her work was very good and she secured experience which should enable her to win first next year. The winner of second place in the preliminaries was Frances Saville, who will be sent to the County Contest this spring if one is held. III III lu !! 82 C. H.S.

S. - THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I 1918 HCANTONIANU N the year 1912. thc idea of having a Senior year book was originated and since then, except in the year 1913, each Senior class has left a volume of the CAN- TONIAN as a monument to the work done in that year. The CANTONIAN, as all other C. H. S. enterprises, has the reputation of becom- ing better each year. The initial volume of 1912 was a small book, but was filled with good things arranged in a pleasing way. The 191111, 1915, 1916 annuals, each one better than its predecessor, reflected the life of Canton High for those years and were far above the standard of high school annuals. The 1917 staff was particularly successful in giving to the school a bigger and better volume. It was quite large and every department in it was thoroughly worked out and pleasingly arranged. The CANTONIAN, as a piece of literature, is not a classic, but its value lies in cognizancc of every branch of school activity, and it is of particular worth, later, as a remembrance of school life. Early in the term the class met and decided unanimously to publish the sixth volume of the CANTONIAN. It was then agreed that the selection of the staff should be left to the instructors of the English department. The staff was called together and prepared to get down to business. It was decided to give Canton High the best annual ever published it its history and that idea has guided throughflut the year. The aim was not quantity, but quality. The proposition that the publication of the Annual be dropped in order to con- form with the national conservation movement was carefully weighed, but it was found that suspending the CANTONIAN would not save any materials needed for war purposes. The Seniors then decided to make successful both the Annual and the VVar Savings campaign. VVe believe that we are not too egotistical when we say that this has been largely accomplished. The publication of a year book of the CANTONIAN is a great undertaking and involves a great effort on the part of the staff members. The benefits in experience derived from such work is certainly worth the effort, however. The enterprise started out with a rush. In the first subscription campaign three hundred and sixty were sold. Since that time the list has almost reached the four hundred fifty mark. The advertising soliciting has also been very successful, and notwithstanding curtailed expense accounts on the part of the advertisers, over two hundred and fifteen dollars were secured from the advertisements. VVe wish to thank all those who during the past year have aided us in our various attempts to put out a bigger and better CANTONIAN. The instructors have been es- pecially kind -to us in relieving us at certain times when we needed to have time for work on the Annual and have allowed us to make up work lost in this way. 1Ve also take this opportunity to thank the school board for the use of the building for the presentation of our boys' burlesque and to thank Mr. Cameron who has all through the year been willing to give us his aid. To those who subscribed for copies and the business men who took advertising space we have attempted to show our gratitude in a humble way by offering the best Annual we were able to put out. Throughout the year we have spent much work upon the CANTONIAN and we have striven to the best of our ability to leave to Canton High School a suitable mon- ument to the eventful and successful year of nineteen hundred and eighteen.

THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I THE PENNANT HE year 1917-1918 marks the tenth anniversary of the Pennant and it also marks the reaching of a high standard of efficient management. The Pennant this year has achieved the reputation of being out on time every week. In the past it was not always ready to be distributed each Friday due to the fact that the copy was usually late in coming in. However, the staff was larger and on the whole greater interest was shown than heretofore which no doubt accounts largely for the prompt- ness of delivery. Moreover, the Printing classes were large and although the force worked only half of each day, they were efficient to an unusual degree. The Critic, Miss Quigley, a new member of the faculty, likewise worked hard to make the paper a success. l THE STAFF HOWARD VVOOD IXDIY JOHNSON , , HE1.EN GRAHADI Editors ' CARL HOKENSON GLADYS WVEAVER DEAN BARRIOK Assistant Editors . . -2 gg:ERBEEf::fII'L Business Jlanager . .

T the first of the year, candidates for oihces were chosen by the executive com- mittee of last year. In the election, Russell Goodin was chosen presidentg Harold Havermale, vice presidentg Ruby Bath, secretaryg Illld Floyd Emerick. treas- urer. Soon after the election a campaign for soliciting members was started. This campaign was in the form of a contest among the classes. Four persons from each class were chosen as a team to represent their class. The Sophomores took the lead at the first and kept it. The Freshmen were slow at iirst. but toward the last they gained and made second place. The Seniors won in percentage, however, having one hundred per cent. During the year several Association meetings were held in which the business was transacted in very good order. 'The A. L. M. A. has been a financial success well as a success in athletic and literary events during the year. There may 11ot be a large surplus in the treasury but more material has been purchased this year and this material has cost more. New basket balls, suits, and shoes have been purchased. The boys have had more training this year and more has been spent for it. The trips to the Peoria and Springfield tournaments were also quite expensive. The Commer- cial Club supported the Association in sending the team to the state tournament and the A. I.. M. A. greatly appreciated this generous aid. The Club also presented the team with the handsome new white suits. The Association has had a very good record this year. It has paid expenses, which were heavier than usual. and has finished with money in the treasury. ll- --I 95 lllll THE CANTONIAN C. H.S I I I I I I ATHLETICS :XNTQN HIGH has always stood. and always will, for clean sports. ive have no use for an athlete who cannot play hard and fair and take defeat as well as victory. Hard, clean playing has been our motto in the past and will continue to be in the future. All our teams this year have upheld this motto splendidly and as a result have made an excellent showing in their respective branches of activities. C. H. has a name among the schools we play of being a clean, sportsmanship school wanting only what she deserves and nothing more. As a result we never have trouble getting con- tests and we always try to treat our visitors as we hope our team will be treated when they are away. This has been taught us in the past and our coach and prin- cipal continued it this year. The coach developes the team from the rough to the polished state, making a well finished product FRED HOURS from raw material. Coach Bourn certainly deserves credit. for C'0fl07L in his Hrst year at C. H. S. he won the district tourney and placed third at the state. ln baseball our 11ew coach, Principal Bourn, demonstrated at the start that he knew the game from tl1e inside and outside. He was handicapped by the late start this season and also by the fact that most of the squad had not played baseball during the vacation period. Vie hope next yearis squad can overcome these two ever ref curring drawbacks, and start out with a rush which will continue all season. lvith the old material, Coach Bourn will have back next year, Canton High's outlook for baseball is indeed very bright. Only three men are lost by grad- uation, llurphy, Havermale and Blchlillan. Of course their loss will be noticed considerably but we have faith in our coach to work down some one to fill their places as well as they did. Too much credit cannot be given to Pekin'y Clark for the winning of the basketball tournament. t'Pekin has always been for Canton High in everything and for a number of years has contributed as much as any one person to our athletic teamis suc- cesses. VVe merely go to K'PekinU and ask him for help. Sure,', says Pekin,', and from then on his peppy talk and training keep the team in condition both physically and mentally. So Pekin,,' thru your help the members of Canton Highis 1918 basketball team were able to do what otherwise they might not have been able to, and Canton High thanks you most heartily for your valuable help during the 1918 basketball season. l'i:K1N'3 CLARK Trainer III III Illll Q6 C..

S stated by both Coach Smith and Coach Bourn, Captain Murphy is undoubtedly the greatest basketball player that C. H. S. has ever produced. It is not enough to say that he was . .,: ,L p hard to guard, but it was almost an impossibility, as many guards L have found during the four years that Hlrishl' has held down the pivot position for C. H. S. This was Hlrishysi' star year in basketball. He was not only chosen captain and center of the , Q district all-star team, but also captain and center of the second ' all-star team of the state tournament. Murph. was the most consistent point maker on the team, as shown by the fact that he was the high scorer in the district tournament and made twenty- three points in the first game at the state tournament, which is a record for a state tournament game. Next year C. H. S. will iig. M have to look around for another center, as Irish', graduates with . ' the class of eighteen. Leslie McMillan, forward, was one of our stars again this ..IRIsH,, MURPHY year as he was last. Mac,' was a very hard person to guard Captain and few indeed were the guards who could hold Mac down. His main point was floor work and at this he excelled, seemingly always at the right spot at the right time and rarely failing to bring woe to our op- ponents. C. H. S. will feel Macs, loss next year very much for he graduates with this year's class. Harold Havermale, our scrappy little forward, also deserves mention and in fact demands it. His style of playing convinced the district officials that 'iHavers was one of the two best forwards in the district, therefore the all-star team annexed one small, fast forward. In all his games this year Haversl' starred with the rest and so somebody please copy for 1919 as Havers graduates this year. Campbell certainly was a demon on long shots, always dropping one in at the critical moment, spelling defeat for our antagonists. Campbell played equally well at forward or center, whichever the case might be, so C. H. S. is assured a good for- ward or center for next year, as Clyde has two years more to play. Sandberg will undoubtedly be one of the best forwards C. H. S. has had, for he has two years more to play. His ability was demonstrated quite frequently this year and Sandy certainly will prove a valuable asset to our coming state champions of 1918-1919. Berry, our running guard, played this year with a wonderful improvement over last year, and those who saw his playing last year know that that is going some. Doodle,' has two years more in school to star, so we look to see Berry as one of the state's best running guards for the next two years. Sanders, captain-elect, is a second Tendickg that alone is saying enough. He is a district All-star guard his first year on the team, so judge for yourself that he Ill III lllIl 93 C. I-I.S. TI-IE CANTONIAN l l l l I l must play a stellar game of ball. Sandy time and again broke up plays alone that would have spelled defeat if they went through, but we knew SandyB was there, so we didn't worry. Sandy captains our coming team, so we look forward to a well run team. Negly, the youngster, of our team, will undoubtedly show up in a stellar role next year. When such players as Neg', are subbing you know that the regulars must certainly be phenomenal players. Neg has two years more to show up and we look to see him ably represent C. H. S. next year and the following one. Hokenson lacked experience, alone, or he would have made a forward hard to beat. I-Iokeyn has one year more to play and next year he certainly should star on the team. Hale was a good guard or center in every sense of the word. Abie,s fault was that he didn't want anyone to get in his road or he would run over them. Ab graduates with the class of eighteen or he would certainly be a regular next year. OUR THREE ALL STARS Three members of Canton Highis basketball team were placed on the All-Star team by the tourney officials. They won this honor because of their playing and conduct on the tournament floor. These three players put up a wonderful game of basketball along with their sportsmanship and due to these facts they were so hon- ored. As is generally the custom, three of the championship team and two others from the remaining teams composed the All-Stars, otherwise Canton High would have placed five men instead of three on the All-Star quintet. Irishi' was selected center and also captain of tl1e All-Stars. Havers, that speedy little forward, won a forward position and our captain-elect won tl1e stationary guard position. The All-Star team is: Havermale, Canton ....... ........ F orward Daly, Manual ...............,....... ........ F orward Murphy, Captain, Canton ....... ........ C enter Wallace, Washburn ...,.......... ...... G uard Sanders, Canton ..............,..,,....................................................... Guard A Havermale won his place by his stellar playing in the Cuba game. He was everywhere and always in the right place at the right timeg baskets were easy for him and he played rings around the Cuba guards who couldn't stop the scrappy littlc fellow. To Murphy also goes the honor of being the champion point getter of the tour- ney. Everyone in Peoria knows his record from former years and he was conceded the center position by most all the basketball fans before the tourney. They doped it correctly and his playing was true to his reputation, which is saying enough. Sanders won his position by his consistent playing all thru the tourney. This was his first year on the team, so everyone can see that Sandy,' certainly must have put up some game to be an All-Star his first year. Sanders captains the 1919 team, so Canton will at least place one man on the All-Star team next year. Ill lill 99 lllll THE CANTONIAN C.I-1.5. U l I l 41 .

THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I PEORIA DISTRICT TOURNAMENT IVIBFCTI I BHC! 2 ANTON HIGH SCHOOL repeated its performance of 1916 at Peoria, when she won the 1918 tournament, making it two out of three since the Peoria dis- trict was formed. Tl1e tournament was held at Peoria Centralis gym which properly handled the crowd, while the playing floor was entirely satisfactory. Sixteen schools were rep- resented and they were some of the best in the state. The officials, Robb and Storm, were able to handle the games very efhciently and are to be congratulated on their excellent ofhciating. The general opinion is that the 1918 tournament was by far the most successful since the Peoria District was organized. CANTON, 30g PEORIA CENTRAL, 22 ' This game was generally considered the tournament game and the winner was doped to be the champions. As it turned out the winners were champions, and had Peoria Central won, they undoubtedly would have won the tournament, but Canton High made it three straight wins from Central this year, thereby eliminating them. McMillan and Campbell certainly played their stellar game. Sandberg replacing Mad, who had four personals, displayed wonderful speed and floor work and as a side issue made two baskets. Murphy at center outjumped his rival center, giving Canton High an advantage. His floor work was excellent as was his basket shooting. Berry and Sanders very effectively defended Central's goal, both putting up a stone- wall defense against which Central spent their strength in vain. CANTON, 28g YATES CITY, is A Our second game was against Yates City who won that honor by defeating Wy- oming. In this game the substitutes were used and they certainly covered themselves with glory by defeating our northern neighbors by the tune of 28 to 18. CANTON, 51, CUBA, 14 Next in line for defeat came another neighbor. This time it was Cuba High. Cuba sprang a surprise in their game against Elmwood, defeating the stronger team 29 to 27, due to the fact that Elmwood used second string men too long and also be- cause Cuba played wonderful ball all thru the game. Not wanting to make Elm- woodls mistake Canton started Sandberg and Havermale forwards, Murphy center. Berry and Sanders, guards. The result was Canton 31, Cuba 44, after twenty min- utes of play. Campbell then replaced Murphy at center and Negly replaced Berry at running guard. The score continued to increase, so Sandberg was replaced by Hokenson and Sanders by Hale. Still the score increased, so Campbell was taken out and Mad, jumped center for a while, and yet the score went up until it was 51 to 1-L, and then the gun sounded and another victory was chalked up for Canton High. CANTON, 255 VVASHBURN, 20 The final game was against VVashburn, another dark horse, who surprised everyone by defeating Manual 17 to 11 in the afternoon. This was a heart-breaking game up until the final quarter of play. Canton was unable to hit her stride for about thirty minutes, but when she did VVashburn said good night. At the end of the first quarter Wfashburn led 5 to 3, also at the end of the half they led and at the end of the third quarter Vl'ashburn still led by a score of 19 to 11, so Canton decided to do something and they certainly did it, playing rings around VVashburn. All five men were at last plaving the old game. The game ended with Canton victors, 25 to 20, and also Peoria District Champions. III III 103 IIQII TI-IE CANTONIAN C. I-IS I I THE STATE TOURNAMENT ON'I'ItAIiY to the usual Canton luelx our team won its first game in the State Tourney hy heating Jerseyville 35 to 27 in an overtime game. In the five min- utes overtime Canton scored eight points to .Ierseyville's none. In the extra period Macaw and IrishI' eounted twiee from the field. The .Ierseyville quintet was mueh larger than our team. hut we entirely outelassed them when it eame to team work and baskets. Due to some hard luek on our part and to their size, they played us to a tie. t H Z1-27. at the end of forty minutes. hut then Canton hit her stride and ran away from them. The next game was with Normal Liniversity High. Canton played her usual high elass game llllt was unable to eonneet with the basket. and lost n1:n1y shots from under the ring. The linal seore was IQ. High 21. Canton 20. However. we have the satisfaction of knowing that our te:un played a elean. fast game and it was agreed by many that she would have taken the tourney had it not heen for some bad Iuela. In this game Vanton was leading up until the last ten seeonds of play. Just as the timer raised his gun to fire, one of the University High players threw the hall in from out of hounds and Hoffman, one of their stars, threw the hall through the haskrt at the same instant the gun was tired whieh not only ended the game. hut also ended f'anton High's vision of a State Chainpionship. Before the C'hampionship final whieh was won hy Centralia. the losers of the afternoon games played for third plaee. fanton was matched with hhelhvville to eontest for third honors.

The beautiful part of the building is noticed by the majority while the foundation is unnoticed by those who know little of construction work. So it is with the seeondsg all through the season they are working, helping the first team to be a sueeess. altho they know that the majority will give all the honor in the end to the regulars. These seconds are the men who deserve at least an equal amount of praise with the tirst team men. so let Canton High honor these loyal fellows who labored for them without any thot of honor for themselves. but to make C'anton High a leader.

CANTONIAN. ' ' 54 cw .5 Although we did not win any of the few meets in which ,Mfr we participated, we were, in a way, successful. The material , if which was developed in the year 1917 will not only help 'I Canton High win meets in the next two years, but it will enable those who intend to go away to college to enter into this branch of athletic activities with at least one year of actual training to rely upon. Canton participated in three meets, namely: tl1e Fulton County Meet, the Macomb Normal Meet and the Bradley In- stitute Prep Meet. In the Bradley Meet, which was held early in the year, several of the Canton athletes were entered, but owing to the fact that the meet was so early and that the fellows lacked Mlgizylwi .18 the proper length of training necessary to win points, we were ptam V - unable to bring home any medals. In the mcct held at Macomb, the day after the Fulton County Meet, Murphy succeeded in winning two thirds. That this meet was one of the fastest in this part of the state is readily shown by the fact that these were all the points Canton cap- tured. Doubtlessly, the fact that the team participated in the County Meet the day previous accounts to a certain degree for tl1e failure in the other events. Because the Big Eight Meet, usually held at Galesburg, had been called off, the Fulton County Meet became the center of track interest for the season. This meet was held at Lewistown the 18th of April and was won by Cuba. CFor details see the summary on page 109.j in The fact that the State Athletic Association cancelled all athletic meets this spring to permit the boys to work on the farms, put a sudden damper on the rapidly rising hopes of track enthusiasts. The prospects this year were exceedingly bright, since all of last year's point getters were back, together with much other valuable and promising material, both old and new.

This trophy was donated by the late John Lee, of Lewistown, to the Fulton County Athletic Association. The cup is each year awarded to the school winning the relay race which is always held at the close of the track meet. If for three sue- eessive years the race is won by a team representing the same school the cup becomes a permanent possession of that school. In the spring of 1915 and then again in 1916 the team representing Lewistown High won the race and consequently if they had again succeeded in winning, the cup would be theirs for good. The first lap of the race was run by Carl lvilliams who started things by run- ning away from all his competitors and giving Murphy, the next runner, a lead of six yards. Murphy increased this lead to about ten yards and this was maintained throughout the rest of the race by Heed who ran the third lap and Havermale who was running the final lap. The winning of the relay race in the season 1916-'17 was due to the fact that a number of very good 220 yard sprinters were developed and although in the 220 yard dash itself no firsts were won, when four equally good runners form a team you have a combination hard to beat. Ill Ill C. I-LS. THE CANTONIAN l l I l l I BASE BALL T the beginning of our baseball season we were indeed surprised at the number of candidates who turned out for practice. Our surprise became greater dur- ing the year, for at almost every practice there were at least twenty men ready to play. Every class was well represented on the nineathis year, so our team truly was a Canton High team. That we lost the majority of our games is true, but nevertheless old C. H. S. is as proud of this team as any she ever turned out. Our student body certainly de- serves credit for the way they supported the team. The members of the team feel duly repaid for their work during the season by the loyalty of the student body. Both the team and the students have shown this year that Canton High still retains theold loyalty and sportsmanlike conduct that has made her a factor in any High School activity in which she is represented. We leave the 1917 season behind with no blots on its record and look forward to an 1918 season whose prospects are exceedingly bright for a winning and loyal baseball squad in which C. H. S. can feel that she is ably represented. THE PLAYERS Murphy, captain and first baseman, is a player whose loss will be felt very greatly by next year's baseball squad. His ability to reach a wildly thrown ball and at the same time keep a foot on the base has caused many a runner to go to the bench. Irish was also a strong factor at the bat, and a pitcher who could pitch a game against Irish and still keep his reputation is hard to find. Havermale, our pitcher, showed us that C. H. S. loses the best pitcher she has had for a number of years. Havers showed his good judgment in many a tight place this year and sent many a bewildered batsman to the bench vowing vengeance upon the little fellow on the mound. 7 McMillan, third base, proved a very frequent obstacle in the path of the ball. He seldom failed to retire an opponent who was so foolish to line one down towards third. Mac-i' graduates this year. so some one will need to grow some to fill our star third baseman's shoes. This position was probably one of the hardest places to play this year, but Mad, succeeded in doing so extra well. Campbell, our catcher, was all pep and go this year. He was injured during practice but was soon back in his old position, playing his former style of baseball. He is a Soph. so C. H. S. is assured a good backstop for two years more in him. Davalt, second base, sent many an opposing batsman to the bench with his playing. He belied his nickname. USleepy,,' during the season many a time. He is here for two years more. Sandberg, short stop, needs no introduction to our fans. SuHice to say that Sandy', starred both at short and at the bat. He will continue to bring honors to C. H. S. for two seasons more. Simon in right field didnit have an opportunity to show his mettle very often, I III lll III IIQII THE CANTONIAN C. I-1.5. I I I K I I I 1 ELL.-1. u-4 f A -1 14 J -. f' D J' I M -4 nl C. H. S.

He is a Soph. this year, so another garden is taken care of for a couple of seasons. Parkins, right field, played a brilliant game this season and will do likewise for two years more. Routson was uscd at second or short and filled either very efficiently. Ted is with C. H. S. for three years more. Nelson, utility, can fill almost any position, playing a good brand of ball any place. Shorty is ready to play for two years more. Downs, utility, was used in quite a few positions, playing a stellar game in all of them. He is in school for two years yet. D. Murphy, utility, proved a star in the different places he played this year. He will undoubtedly show up good on next season's squad. RESULTS OF FALL BASE BALL September 21, 1917.

Baseball seemed the most likely substitute for track work and consequently the practice was started at once. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown and a series of games was arranged with Cuba, the first of which took place on April 5, 1918. This game, played before a crowd of about twenty-five, who in the main watched the game from the warm interior of closed cars, resulted in a victory for Canton, the score being 3 to 2. At the time this writeup goes to press the team is anticipating a return game on the Cuba grounds. S -,I III III 113 IIZII ---.., a I THE CANTONIAN C. I-I.S. I I I l.l I g vvafvf'ffDfi7l.

THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I DRAMATICS HIS year, 1917-'18, marks a revival of dramatics in Canton High. Since 1914 no Boys' Burlesques have been given before the general public until this year when the Senior boys gave a Burlesque on Uncle Tom's Cabin. That such a bur- lesque is appreciated was evidenced by the crowds that witnessed the two perform- ances necessary to accommodate all who wished to see this production. Last year the Juniors and Seniors gave four one-act comedies instead of each class putting on a play separately. These one-act plays are enjoyable and afford more students the opportunity of appearing before an audience. However, the Jun- iors presented the one-act plays this year, alone, and are to be congratulated on tho excellent manner in which they handled the work. At the time of this writing the Seniors are working on their play, The hlan of the Hour, which will be given on Monday evening, the twenty-second of April, at the Princess theatre. Realizing the value of dramaties in High School too much cannot be said in favor of such work for students. It gives the pupil better poise, grace, self-conH- dence, and brings him in touch with the better dramatic literature, thus giving him a greater interest in the higher and better form of amusement. Mr. Ethan A. Snively, who for the past two years has had charge of the coach- ing of all dramatic productions in the High School, is at this time expecting to be called to the colors. The entire school will feel the loss of Mr. Snively very greatly and it will be very difhcult to get anyone capable of taking charge of dramatics and declamation in thc way Mr. Snively has been accustomed. 4'w WF?

Last year it was put on as an entertainment at the Junior and Senior Hallowe'en Party and was-so funny and interesting that this year on February 12 it was given as a benefit show by the Senior boys. Never before was the assembly hall filled so well for a play as it was for this burlesque. It was necessary to put on two performances so that the entire crowd could be accommodated. The funny situations kept the entire crowd in one continuous uproar from the time the curtain arosefALiza fDick Grahamj singing little Harry fLloyd Burgessj to sleep-until the curtain was rung down on the final scene. The play enriched the Senior treasury about one hundred and fifteen dollars. THE CAST Uncle Tom .,...... .............. ........,. . ........ D e an Barrick Little Eva ...,.,... .........

I I I I I I TI-IE SENIOR CLASS PLAY N Monday evening, the twenty-second of April, at the Princess Theater, the Senior Class presented The Man of the Hourf' a well known and popular play, written by George Broadhurst. This play is said to have been the most difhcult production ever attempted as a class play in Canton, but nevertheless the various parts were very successfully handled by the factorsj students. The press reports the next day were certainly complimentary. They said that the production was easily the best class play that had ever been given by a graduating class of Canton High School. A very large audience witnessed the performance and all seemed to have a word of praise for the cast. The class intends to purchase a Liberty Bond with the pro- ceeds of the play and so those who attended the play not only witnessed a very good production but also made it possible for the class to help the Government by pur- chasing a Bond of the Third Campaign. It would not only be difficult but it would be impossible to pick out any person or persons who could be called the stars, for every member of the cast were at their best. The play was coached by Mr. Snively, the class teacher, who expects to be called to the colors in a very short time, and so it is the last play that he will coach before going to the war. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Snively for the ex- cellent manner in which the play was directed.

THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I MUSIC NCE again the school administration has decided that music shall be considered as a regular subject. This announcement coming at the first of the school year brought joy to the hearts of those students who are music lovers and it also brought sorrow and bitterness to the souls of those among us who feared lest they might be called upon to lend their unwilling and unmusical voices to the general uproar. However, matters were so arranged that those persons who felt that nature had endowed them with voices so far above the ordinary that they were entitled to inflict the same on the unprotected ear of an instructor hired especially for the occasion, could do so in a room where the patients could feel perfectly safe to do their durndest without the risk of life or limb, as might be the case if they did not have the protection of a sound proof wall between them and the unsuspecting student body. In taking up the more serious side of this subj ect we feel that the Board of Education should be congratulated on securing the services of such an instructor as Mr. Campbell, of Peoria, to take charge of this branch of the school work. Besides the fact that Mr. Campbell has an excellent musical education, he also has a jovial manner of teaching and a personality which peps upu each member of the class and makes the musical course more enjoyable than it ordinarily would be. At the first of the year the entire assembly participated in the singing, but later it was deemed advisable to divide them into differ- ent groups which met in the gymnasium. At the time this goes to press the latter course is still being followed. Let us hope that in the future years Canton High will continue to have music classes and that this subject may never again be dropped from the curriculum. 0 'P 45177 93.21-21'f! is Axx,L.!'j J A III III THE CANTONIAN' C.

The girls can certainly make the assembly ring with harmony, as anyone who has ever stayed in the building after school on Tuesday, which is the meeting day, can truthfully testify. This club sang at the Fulton County Teachers, Meeting held' here this spring and were greatly appreciated by all who heard them. VVe expect to have the oppor- tunity of hearing them a few more times before the end of the school year. Mr. Campbell, of Peoria, the music instructor, is also the coach of the Girls, Glee Club and he has done wonders with the material which turned out for the weekly practices.

Some have followed one course and some another. lve are proud to say that many have achieved honor and distinction. Surely they must have done some great good or will in time to come. The world little knows its greatest men and women. lf people could only realize that life is not financial, not political, nor a struggle for so-called fame, if people would only believe that life is what we make it, would not our world be better? This is no preachment. VVe do not intend to eulogize the Alumni, but truly, only those people who are happy are successful. Being happy is not gaining fame in the eyes of the world, for the world, in a sense, is an enemy of yours. No one can be happy who has not accomplished something, carefully, fairly, and decently. You think you are decidedly successful if you can show the world which criticises or emulates you that you have wealth, political influence, or other power, but you are not, unless there is a confidence in your own conscience that you are satisfied and happy in your success. Now we come to our point. Canton High School is a democratic organization, where the basic principles of education apply to all or none. VVe know that things could be better, but when the principles tending toward success are here, we have enough. Canton High School is interested in its graduates because it is sincerely be- lieved that their alma mater has had a great influence on their success. VVe are glad that they have formed an organization in order to perpetuate the memory of Canton High, using that as a golden thread to bind at least a small part of the lives of those V who graduate, into one. VVe are glad that we too will soon be eligible to join them, and to swell the ranks of the Alumni, helping them in their work. The war, of course, took its toll from the Alumni and as a result some forty are in the service of the country. Last June the Alumni Association held their annual reception for the graduating class at the K. of P. hall. The officers elected were: P. P.

H.S I I I I I l THE JOHN DEAN SCHOLARSHIP HE John Dean Scholarship, so named in honor of a son of the late XV. O. Dean, is kept up by a portion set aside from Mr. Dean's estate. The scholarship of two hundred dollars per annum for four years is annually granted to the graduate who takes first in an examination held for the purpose of awarding the scholarship to some person worthy of such an honor. This scholarship has been of mucl1 benefit to those who have succeeded in obtaining it in the past. That it is appreciated is shown by the number of students who take the examinations. Last year Gomer D. Bath won the scholarship and is now at Lake Forest College. It is ex- pected that a large number will take advantage of the opportunity offered them and will compete in the examination which will probably be held in early June. ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP HIS scholarship of one hundred dollars is offered to the one who wins second place in the competitive examination for the John Dean Scholarship. It is the result of faithful and generous endeavor on the part of some of the members of the Alumni who have worked hard to make it a success. VVhether it can be continued depends upon the support it receives. No better monument can be erected and none more useful than a scholarship fund. It has been the policy of almost every grad- uating class to present something to the school in memory of the class. These gifts V have taken various shapes and forms. They are all useful and are appreciated by the schoolg but the money left in the class treasury would certainly be expended judiciously if it were offered for the Alumni scholarship fund, for the simple reason that it would be given to the school and is at the same time of more value. lf the Alumni scholarship fund can be made large enough that the income from it would provide the necessary amount rather than obtaining it by subscription, the ideal will be accomplished. The institution of this scholarship is probably the best work the Association has done. It is deserving and worthy of support. It is regretful that the efforts of so few could be commanded for installing the Alumni scholarship. To tl1e one who promoted it, worked for it, fought for it, is due the full credit of its success, for it was not obtained without opposition. May we not at this time express our hearty indorsement of the Alumni Scholarship and ask that more interest be taken in its maintainance? Last year the Scholarship was awarded to Helen Sanders, who is now attending Lake Forest College. A - III 1IIl IIIII 134 W W KX WV WM W wx fm. .u' ' u k . W V 1.

The streets with a coat of snow, and the sidewalks were dangerously slick. whistled steadily about the buildings, making the few pedestrians, mainly before it. The swaying street lamps seemed to make it almost possible to coldness of the atmosphere. In thc sky, the winter stars coldly glittered, cold, of jewels. The quarter-moon had slowly dropped below the western horizon, red, as if touched by the cold. we1'e thinly covered .X north-west wind students, cringe see the extreme like the glimmer its face glowing A young man walked rapidly down the main street. He glanced involuntarily as he came to a building, which bore the sign: Post Olticef' He entered and deposited a letter in the proper place. As he stepped out he stopped on the lowest step and looked up and down the street as if undecided which direction to takeg then he muttered half to himself: Guess I'll go down to Frat. There's nothing on to-night, but maybe some one will be walking back this way and I'd like to see some of the fellows anyway. He continued his course down the street. The Frat-house was a modest structure of brown and gray stone. The young man climbed the great steps, opened the door quietly and entered the hall. As he closed the door he heard voices in the committee room at the other end of the hall. Evidently the students were en- gaged in an interesting discussion. He listened for a moment and he heard some one mention his name. He moved 'down the hall and paused before the half-open door. I tell you. Brandon, you can't count Grayson in on anything like that. He wouldn't help and you know it. He hasn't helped our fraternity any yet and I don't think he ever will, be heard a voice saying and he recognized it as that of Vincent, the varsity quarter-back. No, said another, I guess Grayson is a kind of back numberg he isn't an athlete and he hasn't shown any ability in other lines. I think we'd be just as well off without him. He can't bring any honor to the Fraternity. VVell, Brandon remarked, I see that you fellows don't know him as well as I do. I'll admit that he hasn't achieved anything yet, but maybe he will. I am sure that that' fellow is going to make good. VVe didn't expect him to beat Vincent, there, out of his place on the team, but we got him because we heard that he had literary ability, and I don't mind telling you, he has. lVhy, he can write anything, from a political speech to love poem., and he can read them like he was made to. Of course, he only forgets himself once in a while, and then I listen to him or read his stud with my mouth wide open. If you didn't want him you didn't have to take him. He's a little bit too Imsy right now to try to get the job of being the first Freshie to run the Senior publication, and Brandon glanced maliciously at Franklin, editor of the Senior paper. There you go again with that literary bunk, Franklin retorted. VVe heard all about his being the best writer the prep school had ever seen, but it must have ended there. VVe also heard the students all liked him and would do anything he asked, but I guess he feels pretty small here. VVhy doesn't he get out with the fellows and have a good time? VVhy doesn't he forget his good rep. with the professors and pull off a few stunts that will get him somewhere with the rest of us? VVhy does he want to be diferent? Can't he get in with the bunch and spend a little money and have a good time? Maybe he was school, but he isn't here. Maybe he thinks he's in a kingdom all his own. be long till he finds out he's nothing but a tin god You hit it exactly, Franklin, exclaimed Vincent, hear his brain rattle. Again Brandon showed his conservative defense. Vincent, you've got to say he's got some to rattle and that's more than can be said of a old institution. Tut, tut, Brandon., you don't fool around much our bunch. The young man, whom they had called Grayson, turned and made his way out of the building as silently as possible. He would have confronted his accusers, but he knew it would be of no use. He wouldn't have listened, but he knew they were only saying the things which he had realized long ago, and it wouldn't hurt him much to hear it. He went back up the street absorbed in thought and soon arrived at the house where he and Brandon had rented a room together in order to divide expenses. The two had been slightly acquainted before Gray- SOIIIS arrival at the University and reports of his ability as a writer and speaker had preceded him, hence, Brandon's readiness to renew their acquaintance and to share a room with him. He switched on the student's lamp at the table, pulled up a chair and drew a letter from his pocket. He read a passage for perhaps the tenth time. Be careful what you say and dog an idol at the pirep If he does, it won't he's a regular tin god. You can e'ven few bright and shining ones about this with Grayson. You'd rather mix with ll- -ll 137 llill THE CANTONIAN C. H. S don't do anything, nor make and decisions that might injure your standing with the people who countf' The letter which he had mailed that very evening had said in reply: I cater only to the people who count. I suppose it would be easy enough to get in with the other bunch, but a fellow ca11't be in both, so I think he had better find out which one counts most and give it his attention. Your brother, Gonnox GllA1'SON.,, That explains it all, he muttered bitterly, but they can't understand. I didn't come here to do what those fellows expect of meg but I came to prepare myself to do it later on. Things are too easy for them, but if I were in their positions I would feel as they do. Every word they said about me was true, everything but the tin god. That's what hurts. I have pride, but they think I am possessed of vanity. I'd like to do as they do, but I suppose I can't see things their way. There's some reason for their doing as they like and disliking me because I donit support them, and they can't see any reason in my actions. It's the same old story. A fellow is successful just as far as people think he is, and no farther. I am nothing but a failure, and it's spelled with a capital F. Hello! whatis this? There on the table unnoticed till this time a yellow envelope lay staring at him and the heavy black letters said VVestern Union. Whose heart does not miss a beat when an unexpected message is re- ceived? He tore open the envelope and he easily understood. It simply said: Come home. Am quitting business. Expect you to work, and was signed by his father. Another who can't understand, sighed Grayson. The next day Gordon Grayson left University life forever. The only good thing any one had ever said to him, he thought, was the presidentis last words. Grayson, you are leaving college, but you are just entering life. If you do not forget that you can still be successful. there is more hope for your kind than for those who can stay with us. I am sorry to see you go, but, my boy, perhaps in going you are doing that which will make you better. So Grayson went. He said good-bye to Brandon and that was all. Brandon asked why he left, and Grayson quietly replied, The tin god has fallen. Brandon, I want to thank you for supporting me. Brandon said nothing of the young man's departure. Few noticed or commented on his absence. The University went on as before. One does not matter when he so little concerns the rest. -Je -If -li -If 'X' 'X' -16 'X' 'X' -X' -JE The new President had arrived. It was rumored among the students that the University was the new President's Alma Mater. The President's name was Franklin, and he had been a member of the L'niversity's strongest fraternity. President Franklin went to meet the evening train. He walked down the main street toward the depot. Brandon was coming and they hadn't met for years. This winter was quite like all the winters that had come and gone since Franklin had been a student at the University. The train was late, just as it used to be in winter. Darkness carrie at the same time every year, it could not wait for a late train. Franklin fussed about the little depot and at last the train rolled in, grumbling, with the steam hissing and whistling, forming great white clouds in the cold air. Franklin met Brandon at the steps, a different Brandon as he was a different Franklin, for the roads from the positions of college students to pollege presidency and corporation lawyer are not easy and straight. They had made good, but at a cost. Brandon suggested that they walk out past the Frat house and Franklin consented. He had been in town a few days and had found little time to look over any ancient sites. They stopped when -they came to the terrace, for instead of the old brown and gray stone house, which Franklin expected to see, there stood a splendid edifice of silver-gray, a building which outclassed the one which he had known. Brandon said nothing, but Franklin gazed at the insignia over the black-walnut door and then down at the marble steps. Magnificent, I didn't know we had a new place. I did4,', said Brandon shortly. He opened the door and as they stepped inside, pointed to the bronze tablet on the wall of the vestibule. The plate was engraved with the Fraternity emblem and beneath the symbol, Given and dedicated for the service of my Fraternity, by the Tin God, then in heavy lettering, Gordon Graysonj' and beneath that, Elwood Gordonf' Elwood Gordon ! exclaimed Franklin. 'iHe's the best writer and lecturer we have ever had. Yes, he was known by that name in the literary world. Gordon Grayson was his real name and he was dubbed the 'Tin God,' one of your favorite expressions, you remember. I know you have forgotten him, but he's the fellow in whom you and a few others couldn't see any promise. He left college in his first year. Even before his death, he was known as the greatest man our University produced. You didn't know him in later life except as a great author and a master of people. That night when we were in the committee room talking about him, he was in the hall and he heard us. I think he has forgiven you, Franklin. This memorial shows that. 'We are proud that our Frat got him. You remember now, don't you ?,' Yes-I-remember. RUSSELL GOOIJIX, '18 Ill Ill lllll 138 Cl-l.S. Tl-lE CANTONIAN l I l l I l SOMEWHERE OVER THERE ll ELI., well, what do you think of that F 1 The speaker was a strong, well-built man. abut sixty years of age, with the mark of the struggle of years upon his face. He was looking, at the time, upon his small grandson, who was investigating the probability of fixing the broken leg of his pet chicken. Knowing the child very well, indeed, the man left him, feeling certain the work would be accomplished. Returning some time later with an arm load of wood, he found the wood-box converted into a hospital, and occupying the choice corner was the chicken with its leg safely enclosed in splinters. John Marshal smiled slowly and sadly. The vision of another fair-haired boy came to him and he said, Just like his daddy. but maybe he'll change his mind. He placed the wood behind the stove and, walking slowly out of the house, sat down on a log by the wood- pile. No, he mused, he shall never be a doctor. VVe can't give him up. Ma and me'll need him with us. I'll not have him like his father. It's no use workin' for 'em then losin' 'em soon as they get to be a comfort. I made up my mind and Pm not goin' to change it, either. YVith this he arose and started after the cows, somehow he could find comfort in work when his mind was troubled. Thru Bennie's school days his talent grew more and more apparent and Jolm Marshal, tho he never mentioned it, grew more set in his object. The boy had been too small to realize how his father, starting out as a- country doctor, had fairly given his life for the work and how his young mother survived only a short time. He soon came to find his grandfather greatly distressed whenever his ambitions were spoken of and soon felt he must dream his dreams alone, for he knew he would never be a success at other work. Having won his grandparents consent to enter High School his joys began and he passed four eventful years there and now longed to go to college. Finally he went but without their consent. The grandfather then felt that there was no way other than to give in to the boy's wish. Before the boy's graduation at college, a war broke out in Europe far greater than any preceding. The boy felt now was his chance, and knowing full well the fruitlessness of asking his grand- father's permission, left for France to serve in a hospital at the front. When the news reached his grandparents, his grandmother heard it quietly and went on about her work with an ache in her heart that could never be cured, but Jolm Marshal's head was bowed in sorrow and anger. He sudered the worst disappointment that can come to a mang he thot the boy ungrateful. He could not see the boy's idea of duty and resolved that from that time he would be as lost to the home life of the family. For three years they never heard of the boy and his name was never mentioned. The old man had grown steadily feeble and finally he could not leave the house. Then he began to think. He wanted the boy but he would not give up. The boy, too, had been feeling the loss of his home. He had been wounded and for some time hovered between life and death. Hc had just won the fight when news came that Jolm Marshal would not live much longer. That night he started for homeg a faint hope that he might set things aright possessed him. A few days later the boy reached home. in all ways a success in his field of work, but feeling a failure in the eyes of those who cared for him. He found the old home very solemn: his grandfather was worse than usual, but his grandmother was the same quiet grandmother of his childhood, with the same loving ways. John Marshal greeted the boy with only a nod, then fell to thinking again. The boy, content to be at home, and weary with his travel, sat near the fire, also thinking. He was living the past again. Slowly the old man raised, his head. There was an expression in his eyes which had not been there for days. Feebly he stretched his hand toward the boy. Son, he said, 'fl been thinkin'g maybe I was wrong: maybe the country needs you, song guess I judged too quickly. Son, l did the same when I was young, it's in the bloodf' That night around the fireside there were three people to whom it seemed happiness was complete. The home circle was unbroken. That same night John Marshal fell into a sleep with more peace than he had felt since his only son had left them. The next morning they found he would not awaken from that sleep, but their sorrow was soothed by the spirit of peace and contentment which hovered near. VVhen some days later the boy left again for the front, he left behind him a woman's love and prayers that had guided him and would continue to guide him thru many struggles. VVhen he reached his ranks he was confident and his heart was light because of the joys and sorrows that had intermingled and had given him a new life. ltrvrn H. BT.-XRTIN, '18 lll lll 1309 lllll TI-IE CANTONIAN C. H. S RO MANSE NCLE JERIMIAH MANSE died one summer day as quietly and as peacefully as he had lived his whole life. VVhen affairs came to be settled it was found, much to the dismay of Aunt Cassy, his wife, and all the rest of his relations that, as they were childless. he had left his farm and stock to his nephew, Elijah Manse, providing he would take care of Aunt Cassy so long as she lived. Aunt Cassy was the last person on earth who looked as tho she needed care. And, what was worse, she was a hustler, while Elijah was the most db- less of all the nephews. But Elijah was in many ways to be pitied. Eight years previous to this his wife had died, after a long year of illness, which had cost him, his farm, leaving him three little girls and a baby boy. Five years later when it seemed that Ifilijah was going to struggle thru somehow, scarlet fever came to the neighborhood and claimed the three little girls. Only the boy, Ro, was left to him. Since this time Elijah had been like a broken reed, tossed and blown about by the wind. He became suddenly old. He did not seem to care what happened to himself, but the boy, he idolized. No matter what came to him he never complained. He did not complain now when the burden of Aunt Cassy was thrust upon him. Perhaps that was why his hair become white as snow and his figure so stooped. Poor Aunt Cassy was a problem to her relations and herself. She was so outspoken that unless your feelings were clad in an armor of chain-mail you were most likely to get them hurt. One never knew how she was going to take anything. If it struck her as fiunny, she laughed until her whole two hundred-fifteen pounds shook like jelly. But woe be it to anyone should it not please her. lf she liked you she did not fail to show it. lf she did not that was all. Her middle name was bustle and she made everyone around her feel it until you felt as tho you scarcely had time to sneeze comfortably. But her one redeemable trait was her splendid cooking. Such preserves, bread, and pickles as she made were fit food for the gods. It was preserve time when Elijah and Ho took up their abode at the Manse, as it was called. Elijah had his hands full of getting settled, but Ro had his tiull of4preserves. He was just nine, a little small for his age and just a mite spoiled, as most motherless chil- dren in the care of fathers are, and, last of all, a boy. Somehow Aunt Cassy could not under- stand the last fact, and from the start she did not like him very well. lle made too much noise and dirt. Before coming to the Manse he had stayed at Cousin Caroline's, which Aunt Cassy termed as the home of a band of Si-ox Indians. Now his vocal organs- were ln a box. He could not even whistle. He was in continuous agony and his terror of the old lady increased with every passing day. On this particular morning Aunt Cassy was peeling peaches on the back porch. Just then she happened to think that the wood-box was only three-iourias full. She always said and firmly believed that it warn't good for childern to be idle. 1-to! Ito! she called. Roi Come here i but lto was not near. lto!'l her voice rose higher. Do you hear me? Come here. Ro was calmly perched on the edge of a potato bin in the cellar. Ile had just finished carrying fifty quarts of preserves, neatly labeled, down the steep flight of cellar steps, two quarts at a time. Aunt Cassy did not dream that boys' legs get tired. Go on an' holler yerself hoarse, he said to himself, then he had a second thought. Yes- terday he had received a lecture for loiterin'. He didn't want another, but he sure would catch it now. Just the11 his eyes strayed to a shelf of preserves. There was one jar which did l1Ot look right. It was working. Then he had an idea. He started up the steps cautious'ly. YVheu he reached the one next to the top, he called in a half-frightened tone: Aunt Cassy, Aunt Cassy, your preserves is VVOI'lClIll. She turned half way around and said in an unconcerned voice: Law me, child! Darn 'em, let 'em work! I have ta work ! This was so unexpected that almost before he knew it he was tumbling down the steep cellar stairs-then he forgot everything. VVhen he came to, somehow he could not make out where he was. He was not at Cousin Caroline's and he was not at home. Where was he? The little bed in which he lay was white and-somehow he had such a dreadful pain in his left shoulder. He couldn't move his left leg at all and it did hurt so that he didn't care much where he was. Then he went away again. The next time he came to, his father was with him. Dad! he quavered feebly. Dad, where am I? I can't think? Never mind, old chap, don't try to think. You jest lay still and rest. But Dad, where am I? VVhy, Bud, you're in the hospital getting patched up from that trapezin' stunt you tried. Now don't worry, but try to go to sleepfl Dad+where is she-Aunt Cassy? And he was gone again. The next day he awoke to find Aunt Cassy beside his bed, the tears coursing down he.r lined cheeks. YVhat did it mean? Aunt Cassy had not shed a tear for years until Ifnele Jeri- lll Ill lllll 140 C.

He flopped himself down upon the grass beside the hedge and tried to forget his disappointment by seeing 'how far he could spit between the gap in his teeth. The source of his dejection was his father's refusal to get him a bicycle. He had imagined how the boys would have envied him and how all the little girls would smile as he rode proudly by. But now the dreams were shattered! He made a vicious jab into the sod with his heel at the thought of it, and inspired by this move he proceeded to have a fit, kick- ing, tearing at the hedge, and jumping until he had exhausted himself: VVith this out of his system he felt better and as he lay recovering, he amused himself by listening to the conversation that was being carried on, on the other side of the hedge. The principals in this conversation' were Madge, his sister, who had just passed her nineteenth birthday, and a very gallant young gentleman, Mr. Harold Sanders, in whom Madge was very much interested not only on account of his handsomeness but because of his financial standing. To Jimmie the talk was nothing out of the ordinary. so he picked himself up and departed for parts unknown. He appeared at supper time still moody and cross, and his appetite was so normal that his mother became anxious and asked if he were not feeling well. He assured her that he was perfectly well, but added, You can't expect a fella to feel fine when he gets treat- ed like I've been. YVhereupon he left the supper table very disgruntled and retired to the seclusion of his own room. As soon as the evening meal was cleared away, Madge tiptoed quietly upstairs and found Jimmie lying face down upon his bed. After a few words of comfort, she began whispering something which evidently interested Jimmie for he arose upon his elbows and began to takc a new interest in life. Several mornings later young Sanders was surprised to see little Jimmie coming up the steps to his apartment. Come right in, he said, as he opened the door. I can't stay, Jimmie replied nervously, but here is a letter for you. He departed hastily, and Sanders, his curiosity aroused, quickly tore open the white en- velope that Jimmie .had thrust into his hand. He was amazed to read-evidently Written by Jimmie-: Deer Mister Sanders: I just want to tell you that i don't like yu. anyway i think any- buddy that makes a girl cry the way yu make sis cry is a koward. Sis cries every nite in front ov yur picture. JIMMIE One morning, three weeks later as Jimmie rode awkwardly down the driveway 011 his new wheel, he encountered his friend, little Johnny VVilliams. VVhere'd you get the bike,', Johnny asked, his curiosity aroused. A friend of mine gave it to me for doing him a favor. XVho? Mr. Sanders. . v Oh! he's the fella that's goin' to marry your sister. Johnny began to see light. ll hat for? Oh, nuthinl. I just wrote him a letter tellin' him how much Sis liked him. Say! I've got a peach of an air rifle, too. Where'd yu get that? Johnny didn't see how any one could be so lucky. Sis gave it to me for writin' the letter the way she told me to and letting Mr. Sanders think I wrote it.'

A liberal gob of suds was forced between his clenched teeth, whereupon he was allowed to rise. Now before you go on,', interrupted the leader, I wapt to give this Freshman a bit of advice. When a boy comes to this school, he stands or falls on his merits alone. His folks may be rich or poor, that makes no difference. If he's a snob, and that kind break in here, some- times it goes pretty hard with him till he's cured or leaves. Vfe generally manage to get a fair idea of what a fellow is by the way he takes a little hazing. I've said this for your own good. Now, Frosh, went on the youth with the fiery mop of hair, we're really good friends of yours, though you don't believe it. VVe're doing it for your own good, as parents often say before whipping their erring children, though we do not claim it hurts us more than it does you. 'fYou will now perform for our amusement. First, Iill request you to retire into the con- fines of your closet and when the signal is given thrust forth your head and strike like a coo-coo-clock? Whom shall I strike? he inquired, giving care to his grammar. A chorus of groans greeted his sally and he was hustled into the closet with the informa- tion that he was entirely too fresh. After he had coo-cooed to the crowd's satisfaction, he was seated in a wash bowl and sup- plied with a pair of toothpicks in place of oars. Thereupon he was requested to row a race with himself. This exciting contest over, a small spot on the floor was called to his attention. See that spot, Frosh? asked the Master of Ceremonies. VVell, that resembles tempta- tion. Now get down and wrestle with it. Hartwell did not enter into the humor of this affair as a wise boy would have done. To him it was very serious. He felt humiliated, disgraced, and a black anger surged in him against the Sophomores. At last the ordeal was over. Of course, there's no hard feelings, Freshman i' said the leader, in a friendly fashion, as he and his fellows prepared to leave. Good nightj, and heaheld out his hand. Hartwell backed abruptly away, his hands behind him. Oh, very well, just as you please? and the crowd filed silently out. lt was Skinny Moore that broke the news to the other members of his class. About nine Ill III IIMII I42 C. H.S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I o'cl0ck of the next evening he broke excitedly into the room occupied by Sam Hawkins, known as Red, and leader of the crowd which had hazed Hartwell. Several other boys were also present, draped about on the furniture in various picturesque attitudes. VVhat do you suppose has happened ? he burst out. You know that Freshman we hazed in Blackwell Hall? VVell, he went to Dr, Andrews and squealedf' He what? gasped the unbelieving chorus. He what? He squealedf' repeated Skinny. I was waiting in the outer office to see Doc about my history flank last spring and the door was wide open, so I couldxft help hearing. You oughter been there. Gee, but he's a regular fire cracker. Said that everyone of the bunch that was in his room ought to be expelled, that the school was nothing more than a mob of roughnecks and a whole lot more. Each boy gasped in astonishment. Such a state of affairs had never before existed at VVells. He is ready to identify every fellow in the bunch, went on Skinny, and then to Red: He's described us from A to Z. The insignificant little son-of-a-gun, mused Red. He must have a streak of yellow that goes clear thru. That's just it, agreed Skinny. He's saffron to the core and out beyond. It was wonderful how fast the news spread. From room to room, from dormitory to dormitory it fiew, leaving a trail of disgusted and indignant boys behind. ,Could Hartwell have heard the many uncomplimentary remarks made about him it would have opened his eyes. Next morning he saw one of his classmates whom he had made up his mind to like. His words of greeting were interrupted by: Is it true. Hartwell, that you squealed on those Sophs who hazed you night before last? I don't like the way you express it, said Hartwell, but I certainly went to Dr. Andrews about the matter. I considered it my duty to- He paused, surprised at the scorn and contempt in his classmate's face. Then the latter turned of without another word, leaving him angry, and considerably mystified. Similar meetings happened thruout the day and the boy had finally began to doubt the wisdom, from the standpoint of policy, of what he had done. At first he was hurt and scornful, but as the days dragged into weeks, and weeks into months, he began to feel different toward his schoolmates. It changed him so nmeh that he felt fully as much contempt at what he had donq in ignorance, as did any of those who judged him. He could see now, as he broadened, how serious his offense had been and he knew that he had no one to blame but himself. This change was the only thing that kept James Hartwell in school. Quitter was a new word added to his vocabuIa1'y and he had resolved to stick to his guns to the last, and to make the fellows at VVells respect him. Being alone most of the time Hartwell had plenty of leisure after his studying was fin- ished. He formed the habit of taking long walks into the country and it was these tramlps that gave him his big idea. He sought out the athletic coach and told him the whole story. I know I can put it over if you help me, concluded the lad. But I don't want anyoiie to know about it until I've made good. VVhy, of course, I'll help you, said the coach, gripping Hartwell's hand. Thus began Hartwell's training for the cross-country team. In one of those tramps he had jogged around the twelve mile course, timing himself just for the fun of it, and later looked up the school's record. Of course it was far below the time of the school record, but the boy learned something he had not known before, that in him was the making of a long distance runner. The VVells cross-country team had been defeated three years in succession by the Stanton School, her nearest rival. The coach had been searching for material to bolster up his weak cross-country team with little success, and when he saw Hartwell in action, his eyes lighted up, and he muttered joyfully, VVhy, that boy is a regular find. The cross-country race took place between VVells and Stanton as soon as the ground had dried sufficiently in the spring. The course was spoken of as a howling terror. It swung around in a big circle over a range of steep hills where the ground was studded with boulders of all kinds and sizes, traversed an irregular section of recently cleared wood-lot, included a twelve-foot leap across a muddy stream and a quarter of a mile of marsh beyond it, followed a little used wood road for four miles and finished with a level two-mile stretch of macadam, which brought the runners to the tape in front of the gym. By agreement between the schools each team was to consist of five men and only the first three to finish on each side counted scoring points according to places secured. The lowest score won. Surprise and disgust was universal when James Hartwell's name appeared on the bulletin board as a member of the cross-country team. The Old Man's losing his punch, said one loyal spirit. The idea of sending a runner like Toodles Thompson to the bench. III III 143 Illll THE CANTONIAN C. H. S I bet Hartwell's dad oHered to build a new dorm if they gave the kid a show. Shut up, you fellows, and wait, said another. Give the kid a chance. There's plenty of time for crabbing after we've lost? At one o'clock of the big day ten lithe limbed young fellows faced the starter. Hartwell felt a new feeling, that of responsibility, for was not Wells depending upon him to help up- hold her athletic honor. His brain was a confused jumble of advice given him by the coach, but it cleared on the crack of the pistol. His own place was simple. He resolved to stick to the heels of Thornton, the Stanton champion, like a leech. At the end of the first two miles the runners were strung out over a hundred or more yards, but all were fresh and running easily. Then came the range of hills where most slack- ened their pace, but not so with Thornton. He was becoming a bit impatient at the youngster who stuck so close to him, and. confident of his own wind, he thought that here would be a good chance to kill off one of the runners. He quickened his pace up the stony slope, but Hartwell did likewise and the two topped the summit well ahead of the others. The VVells Freshman realized well enough what his opponent's tactics were and he thought it possible he might succeed. Hartwell gritted his teeth and resolved that he would drop in his tracks before falling behind. Thornton kept up the same pace down that hill and up the next. He hardly considered that the youngster who followed him so closely was worth a secohd thought. VVe'll both be out before the finish, thought Hartwell, beginning to be conscious of a, slight yet increasing pain in his side, as he glanced at the seemingly tireless figure ahead of him. Thorton took the leap across Muddy Run without hesitation with Hartwell still in his tracks and they went splashing across the marsh, the filthy water, making blotches on their white running suits. The end of the marsh marked the half way mark and Hartwell wondered how he could ever stand the remaining six miles. Then hope leaped up again, for Thornton stumbled, which showed that he was also tiring. In this new confidence Hartwell forgot the dull pain in his overworked lungs. Then Thornton began to wonder. Who was this green runner who so stubbornly refused to be left behind. Then he began to regret the half-hearted way in which he had trained for this race. Confidence, born of three successive victories, had placed him where he believed defeat was impossible. His feet were heavy, and then he stumbled again. That four miles of wood road seemed an eternity to the two boys in whom the clean cut stride of the trained runner could no longer be seen, for both stumbled frequently, and their breath came in gasps from overworked lungs. At the end of the wood road with ten miles behind him, Hartwell made his first attempt to pass Thornton, but the latter glared at him with bloodshot eyes and quickened his pace, and so they went on as before. A few minutes later an outpost stationed to give warning of the runner's approach, dashed around a bend in the course, waving his hat. Coming! he yelled. . Good! shouted someone. 'fThat means a record for the coursef' Who's coming? Two fellows coming, one of them Thornton. Don't know the other. Must have set an awful pace, for they're running like a couple of cripplesf' Then as the boys gathered closely around the tape the two leaders appeared around the bend. Staggering like drunken men they gamely tried to sprint down the home stretch, but that sprint was a dismal failure. Hundreds of pairs of lungs were yelling at the two men, imploring them to reach the white tape first. If it isn't the Frosh that showed the yellow, cried one lad, but the last word was driven back down his throat by a vicious stroke of Red's hand. Hartwell was hardly conscious of the uproar, but he realized in a dim sort of way that the time for the last effort was at hand. He had enough nerve left to steer his footsteps in a straight course to the finish and he dropped over the tape a few feet ahead of Thornton. The coach caught the almost unconscious boy in his arms and carried him into the gym, thru a cheering crowd. The final score was 10 to 11 in Wells' favor. There were many sober faces among the VVells boys when they realized who was respon- sible for the victory and how they had treated him, and they stood about the gym door ready to welcome him when he came out. Hartwell, much refreshed by a shower bath, heard the crowd yelling for him and he dreaded to face them. He dressed and tried to slip out the back way, but his teammate caught him and thrust him out the door to face the awaiting crowd. The crowd formed into a squad, hoisted the protesting Freshman on their shoulders and began a triumphant march across the campus toward Blackwell Hall. Hartwell knew that he had wiped forever the yellow stain from the minds of his school- mates. CARI. XVILLIAMS. '18 lll Ill llill 144 C. I-I. S. THE CANTONIAN I I I I I I A BROTHER ENEMY UY FOSHAE was not a coward, at least he was not the sort of coward that we so often meet with in every day life. He feared no man or animal in his quiet life among the Mausse Hills of France, solitary except for Char, his dog and partner in business. Foshae lived comfortably by hunting, assisted by Char to whom he talked and whom he treated as a younger brother. The sun was just setting as Foshae rose from his stool by the fireplace, made a pretense at combing his disheveled black hair, and, reaching for his hat, left the crude little one-room hut. As he stepped out he was greeted as usual by Char who clumsily threw his huge front paws upon his master's chest and proceeded to kiss him affectionately, while his bushy tail beat steady time upon a large box which was near at hand. In return, Char expected a number off kind words and a few pats upon his shaggy head. This sort of greeting was only a curstom which Foshae and Char had kept during the six years of their partnership, and Char did not intend to violate the custom even though his master had been acting dreadfully sad and queer for two whole days. It was the master who had evidently forgotten the custom, for instead of the usual tenderness with which he greeted his partner, he knocked him aside and shouted harshly: Get away, Char! Go lie down! Char sulkily resumed his place by the door and lay looking questioningly at his master. Foshae was too deep in thought to notice the odended and bewildered creature, and hanging his head he walked slowly over the hill. Several times Char started by habit to follow his master, then remembering the harsh words he turned back each time more bewildered. It was dark when Foshae reached a quiet little village whose lighted houses might have looked cheerful to him had he been in a mood even to look at them. At a small, cheerless house and at the request of a young lady who greeted him at the door, he entered. Guy, exclaimed the girl, when they had seated themselves. what is the matter? You look ten years older to-nightf' There was no answer. Both sat silent for a few seconds, then she cried impatiently: VVell! VVhy did you come to-night if you won't talk? At this she started from the room, but came back when Foshae began: I--I want to talk-that's why I cameg for a little consolation, I guess. Consolation ?', Yes, haven't you heard? I've heard lots of things, of course. VVhat do you mean? Had you not heard about the war? IVar is declared. Of course I've heard about it. ls that why you look so down-hearted? I-I'm afraid it is, Hilma, that is- You! Are you a coward? Do you hesitate to fight for your country? Afraid rr And she tossed her head challengingly. Yes, Hilma, I hesitate be-because- No reason will excuse you from cowardice in warfare. You are a traitor and I hate you ! W But listen, Hilma, I'm not a cowardf, Not a coward ! She smiled sneeringly at him. And I suppose you still expect me to marry you, a coward, a traitor. VVon't you let me explain ? he pleaded. Explain! How can you explain.?7, 'gBut, Hilma- Oh! Go away, she sobbed bitterly, your presence annoys me. Foshae looked up. Hilma was gone but he could hear her sobbing in the other room. He picked up his hat and left the housq feeling like a sneak thief. All the way home he walked very slowly, trying to think, but somehow he could not collect his thoughts. It seemed only a terrible nightmare. A week later Guy Foshae was dressed in the uniform of a French soldier. He stood just outside of the door of his little hut and a big tear fell on his cheek as he bade Char good-bye. You must not go, he said kindly to the dog. I'1l be back some day-perhaps. Really, Char, I'm not the coward Miss Hilma believes me to be. You wouldn't want to kill your own brothers either, would you, old chap? Char wagged his tail violently. Of course you wouldn't, agreed Foshae, after interpreting the wagging of his tail as a negative answer. Foshae patted his partner a number of times, then arose and without looking back started over the hill as he had done the week before. He walked slowly but firmly and in about a half hour he reached the village whence a number of other young men in French uniforms joined him and went to the depot from which they were bound for service for their country. Here Foshae stole a moment or two to write Hilma a few lines. My dear, he began, you call me a coward, though were you to know the truth you would probably change your mind. But since I am now dressed in a French uniform, bound as 9 III III 145 Illll THE CANTONIANQ C. HS l I I l l I for service somewhere and may never see you again, it seems foolish to bother your mind with my affairs. Pray for the freedom and victory of France as I shall do myself until my last breath. Foshae read the note over and over and ended it with the following sentence: Care for yourself and should you see fit, please care for Char. A train whistle was heard and Foshae hurriedly sealed the letter. In ten minutes Foshae with the rest of the volunteers from the village were bound for their destination. After several days of impatient waiting for his master's return, Char decided to set out in search of him. For four days Char wandered on, not knowing when or where to stop. His old home. not being far from the border of France, he was soon in hostile territory. It was early in the morning on the fourth day of his search when he reached a small German C'E'lH'lP. The soldiers at once decided to keep the dog with the intention of training him to search for wounded. Though Char was not a valuable dog, he was intelligent and soon learned and per- formed his duties skillfully. A year and a half passed and Char learned to enjoy his work for the enemy. One day after a battle, Char was sent on a searching trip as he had often been done before. However, he was not successful in finding the battlefield of the previous day and was returning to the camp when he heard a low moan. He hurried in the direction of the sound and found in a little hollow a man in a French uniform. Though his face was distigured and covered with blood, Char recognized the man as his old master. He seemed to realize that his master was dying, for he jumped from side to side, barking and howling like a mad dog. The noise attracted the attention of a soldier in a German uniform, who immediately hurried to find the cause of the disturbance. VVith great difficulty he quieted Char, lifted the Frenchman and asked his name. Foshae only pointed to his pocket from which the German soldier drew a letter addressed to Mr. Guy Foshae. Foshae! he shouted, Guy Foshae! VVhy, I have a brother by that name. You are my brother ! The wounded brother smiled sadly and tried to speak. Opvopenfit, he gasped. The German soldier then discovered that the letter had not yet been opened and that he was to read it to his brother. It is from Hilma, he began. You probably know her. She says that she will never forgive herself for the treatment that she gave you that night. Since that time she has learned the cause of your hesitationg that is, that you had three brothers in the German army. She fully realizes that you are not a coward and asks your forgiveness if that is possible. Guy Foshae heaved a sigh of relief. Nothing was said for several seconds, then the dying man said, Answer! , Surely, old chap,', replied the brother. Do you want me to say that she is forgiven? Guy nodded his assent and the brother promised to write to her. The French soldier said no more and died in a few minutes, leaving his partner in business and a brother enemy to mourn. Guy Foshae was never called a hero, and still he was never again spoken of as a coward.

It under- mines the health of the youth and not infrequently necessitates the student re- maining to repeat a certain course, but over attention also forces one to dis- continue the work at the end of one school year whereas if the student gave less attention while in the class room and spent more time on his sleep he would not cause the instructor in charge of the course any discomfiture bv asking useless and difficult questions which of- ten times do not in the least pertain to the subject of sleep and at the same time he would undoubtedlv be liked so much by the facultv that they would encore him rebeatedlv and he could extend his high school course over seven or eight years instead of finishing in four and having such a narrow educa- tion. ' ' In the final analysis we can state on the highest authority that one should get just as much schooling as possible. NVhy, then, commit an act which would doubtlessly limit the child's high school career to a narrow four year course? Attention, the curse of the age, should be abolished at once before the lives of the generation are ruined beyond repair. Miss FAN ATIC ADVICE This page is edited by Miss I.

Had he been speaking of the CANTONIAN, he would undoubtedly have made the very same statement. The publication of the annual is a business proposition and is made possible partly by the staunch support of Canton business and professional men. Some have advertised in the columns of our year book because they believed it a good propo- sitiong others have done so merely because they wished to support our enterprise.
