THIRTY-EIGHT ii 2 1923'i'-I' as 'Class History FRESHME N It was in the year of 1919 that the present Senior class invaded the peaceful domains of old C. H. S. And lit's safe to say that it has never been quite the same since. During that first. year we did a great many things, the importance of which do not warrant them being recorded. Mostly, we made ourselves a general nuisance and were the basis of most of the jokes which the mighty Seniors of that day pulled offn. Clarence Van Arsdale was the Pennant reporter from our class and we filled that renowned paper with wise and witty sayings of famous personages-to-be. VVe tried to love our teachers and in all other ways conduct ourselves as hefitted timid little Freshmen. SOPHOMORES There might have been a century elapse between our Freshman and Sophomore years considering the change in each of us. We had grown up . VVc assisted the Seniors in kidding the new Freshmen, walked to classes with a dignity which only Sophomores have. lVe also have the distinction of being' the only Sophomore class in C. H. S. which has been organized. life chose for our oflicers for that year, David Randall, president, Lyle Babcock, vice president, Frances Sargent, treasurer, and Richard Bown, secretary. Our class colors were crimson and white, our flowers, carnation and narcissus, and our motto, lVe can, we must, we will . lVe had on the first basket ball teams, Gordon Heylin, and Ralph Dikeman. Menzel Benson. Carrol Armstrong and Corbly Ronk. In class basket ball, David Randall was captain of the boys, team and Merlena Byrun of the girls' team. In the declamatory contests, Annabel Orendortf won first place and Data Mae Miller third in the girls', and Clarence Van Arsdale won third place in 'the boys'. Our only social event of the year was a wiener roast in Carveris woods at Bryant. VVe went down on the street car and most of us came back the same way. Some say if it weren't for the ice cream parlor in St. David some of ns w0uldn't have missed the car and had to walk home. Every one had a fine time and looked forward to more of the same kind in the future. JUNIORS lVe organizedlthe Junior class in 1921. Dean Potter was elected president, Harry Purman. vice president, Frances Sargent, treasurer, and Harry Marsh, secretary. It was decided by the class to keep the same motto, flowers, and colors that we had in our Sophomore year. In the fall the Seniors gave a masquerade party and dance for us in the gym . The Seniors were good entertainers and everyone had a great deal of fun. Dean Potter was elected captain of the football team. Besides the captain we had on the football team, Gordon Heylin, Ralph Dikeman, Quentin Kiefer, Jim Taylor, Lyle Kingsland and Carl Randolph. THIRTY-NINE THE c:ANToN1AN ic' THE CANTONIAN lVe were just as prominent in basketball. Gordon Heylin, Corbly Ronk, and Ralph Dikeman assisted in carrying the old purple and gold to victory in this sport. In declamation, Annabel Orendorff again won iirst place for the girls. The big thing of the year in the way of social events was the annual reception which the Juniors give for the Seniors. Every class tries to make it the most unusual and most entertaining reception ever given. lVe're very modest, of course, but we think we surely succeeded. VVe took advantage of the Elks' building and gave a banquet and dance there. lVc wanted the Seniors to feel that although we were sorry they were going we wanted them to remember the last good time we had together. ' SENIORS Considerably reduced as to numbers but not at all as to spirit, we entered C. H. S. in 1922 as SENIORS! The ones that survived the general slaughter which takes some from every class at the end of each year, were convinced that our motto, we can, we must, we will , would accomplish anything for us if we really believed it. 'We have truly been loyal members of our school and in this, our last year, we felt we had a good standard to keep. ' VVe had a wiener roast early in the fall. The Juniors, of course, were invited. VVe placed our colors in a tree and proceeded to protect them. There was a general massacre and the Juniors fthose who left still intaetj had to admit that we had plenty of fighting spirit and we were more than able to hold our own. Vlte had many representatives in football, among whom were Gordon Heylin, Ralph Dikeman, Lyle Babcock, Lyle Kingsland. Gordon Heylin was captain of our basketball team, while Ralph Dikeman, Chris Hogan, and Carroll Armstrong were also among the first ten . VVe are proud of the record these Seniors have made in basketball for the purple and gold. lfVe gave the customary party for the Juniors in the fall. This took the form of a country fair and was altogether unique and entertaining. The annual Boys' Burlesque was given in the fall with many Senior participants. Fatty Mosher proved himself an unequalled actor when it came to bringing the house down in laughter. The A. L. M. A., the Literary Society, the Glee Clubs would never have been able to accomplish their unusual record if it hadn't been for the loyal support of the Seniors. The Cantonian staff was appointed early in the year and they are now working hard to make this annual the best ever . lve are now looking forward to the Senior play, and the reception which we are hoping the Juniors will not forget to give in the spring. If we carry our motto and the spirit of old Canton High out into life as we all should, we may be more sure of success, for high school is a training school for happiness.

'G-- -1 , 2-:EI-:.1 fi' l l l ei: B 1923-me if FORTY-THREE ? 3119234 THE CANTONIAN Class Phophecy It was a sultry day. In the afternoon I was sitting on the balcony trying to forget the smothering heat which envelopes the island of Formosa. Lying in the tropical region, it has an indolent picturesque people made up of Nomadic tribes of fortune tellers, and fruit peddlers. I had become accustomed to their pleadings for permission to reveal the future to me that they no longer bored me. As I was idly day-dreaming, I suddenly .noticed a very peculiar or unusual looking woman. She was a native but yet she held me by her striking appearance. She was a more delicate refined type than the many who went babbling and chatter- ing by my door. Under her arm she carried a large book, held to her body by a queer woven strap. I gazed at her and finally our eyes met. She turned and came directly toward me. I started from my chair for I felt that her presence foreboded something unusual. VVe talked for a few minutes. I-Ier voice was sweet and musical. She begged to tell my fortune. I laughed at her as I had done' at many before and said: Oh, you could tell me nothing. She did not shrug her shoulders with native indifference, but made me captive of her eye and said: I could tell you the thing which is foremost on your mind. No, I laughed. Slowly she said, You have been thinking all afternoon of your old classmates from the class of 'twenty-three'. I grasped at the arms of my chair, and then ,hated myself, for having shown my feelings. Finally, I decided to give in and let her tell meg for after all what was dearer to me than the memory of my classmates. I led her into the court where we would be undisturbed by the throngs. VVe found a marble bench sheltered by a 'wavering palm tree. I sat down and she took her place beside me. Slowly she opened her book. - I gazed at the picture before me. It was one of a busy, bustling New York City. The picture became clearer and I was shocked to see Frances Sargent driving a bus. She had learned to drive a car perfectly ,way back in old High School days. The scene changed and I saw a busy bootblack. He apparently had quite a trade in his chosen profession. And at last I recognized Jim Sullivan. At that moment he was busily engaged in polishing the foot-gear of Clarence Van Arsdale, a wealthy newspaper man. The page turned and I saw a large department store. Eagerly my eyes scanned the page and could I believe my eyes? Yes, there in the Manager's chair was Menzel Benson. Many busy stenographers were at work for him. And in the lot I saw Mattie W'illiams, Cleo Davis, Murlena Byrum and Lucille Estwanick. Julia Fidler and Marion Grey were models and looked marvelous as they paraded around FORTY-FOU R 5 E-55' in garments for the rich. I was glad to see so many of my old chums so happy in life. Thc page turned again. There now appeared a dainty little cottage far upon the mountainside. Harold Recd contentcdly smoking his pipe sat out in front. He called to his wife to come and see the beautiful sunset, and I w'as not much surprised to see Dollie Berry appear in the doorway. The picture faded quickly and in its place I saw a band of Ku Klux Klansmcn. They were all grouped around intently receiving orders from their leader. He threw back his cloak for an instant and I recognized Lyle Babcock. Two of his followers were Dick Brown and Paul Frame. My strange guest moistened her dusky fingers and turned the page again. This time I beheld a church beautifully decorated. A wedding was soon to take place. The bride, Dorothy Fink, 'was walking down the aisle to meet her husband. The sweet music filled the church with holiness. I was anxious to see this wonderful musician who proved to be Beatrice Morgan, of course, a life-long friend of the bride. The minister in his sombre cloak took his place before the couple, and to my wonder it was Gordon Heylin. As before the old scene changed, giving place to a new one. I saw someone preparing his beakfast over a campfire. His clothes were ragged and his beard was long and black. Yet by his jovial look it told its owner. Yes, it was Ralph Dikeman. He had turned bum for some reason or other. He called his buddy to come and help scramble the eggs. And could it be possible that it was Clarence Myers? Then I saw a large farm with green cornfields. and waving wheat stretching away into vastness. Several men were working in the field. One was having a difficult time trying to connect the harness with the horse. Apparently, he was a green farm hand. lllhereupon I was certain it was Chris Hogan. The proprietors of this modern farm were the Mercer brothers-Harold and Don. But a moment- within view of this latent picture I beheld a large establishment, evidently very flourishing because it employed many people. Peering closer at the mystical page, I saw tllat it was a pickle factory owned by Frank Pittman. He always had had a strong desire for sour pickles and was now manufacturing the famous product. Pushing a wheel-barrow of cucumbers in from the field came an old man, weary- eyed and grey. He seemed weighted down with burdens and I had an impulse to help him. Gazing at the careworn face I recognized John Tuttle. Still spellbound by the last scene the page turned. A large steel clad battle ship was steaming into port. Upon the deck stood the captain, a very formidable looking figure not unlike a true Napoleon. His stern countenance relaxed and I knew in an instant that it was Jim Taylor. He was saluted at that moment by a very timid sailor whompl recall as Lester Rock. It must have been pay-day upon the vessel because I saw Lyndall Sutherland, another sailor, with his pockets bulging with coin. The next succeeding scenes were clear but vanished quickly. Just a glimpse- then gone. t Q ea 1 9 2 3 E E' FORTY-FIVE THE CANTONIAN ,1 THE CANTGNIAN a Claude King was a dancing teacher in a large Casino at Atlantic Cityf Gladys Pallister and Jessie Carver were running a dress-maker's shop on Fifth Avenue. Isabelle Heckard, Dorothy Mason and Ruby Ketchem were bathing beauties in the famous Mack Sennett Comedies. ' There now appeared to my view a scene which I cherished most. It was of old C. H. S. Throngs of young life were pushing in at the doors. Inside all was differentg large elevators.. took the students to and from classes. I saw upon the faculty board names which I instantly recallg Pauline Bandle, teacher of Stenog- raphyg Carrol Armstrong, printing instructor, having Hlled a vacancy left by the faithful Mr. King. Among others I found Helen Brasil, English teacher, Data lNIae Miller, voice culture, and Annabelle Orendorff, manager of a finely equipped cafeteria, and Ronald VVhite, mechanical drawing teacher. Ah, yes, some one had taken Sanky's place. It was Donald W'issler and he seemed to be well liked by all. Now a desert scene appeared. A caravan of camels was approaching. The people alighted and came to an oasis for water. I saw that it was a sight-seeing expedition. Very soon I saw some familiar figures. In the party was Inez Bordner, and Mae Flowers, Lois D!udley, and, of course, Hazel Steen was there also. Some famous men were in the crowd and I recognized a professor in Science as being Dale Hallam. Ralph Green was acting as his body guard because professors are absent-minded at times. Carl King and his wife were in 'the gay crowd. The latter two were seeking the Sahara on a honey-moon trip. My native enchantress was aware that I was under her spell so she turned another page. This time I beheld the capital building of4VVashington. It was in- auguration day. And the President-elect stepped upon the platform. I was pro- foundly astonished to see Lyle Kingsland. Hfe has given many of l1is old friends good appointed positions. Leon Silvernail was head of the department of Radio, a new addition to the president's cabinet. His wife, Dot Everly, was still very proud of him. Sheldon Brillhart was Speaker in the House of Representatives, possessing untold oratorical powers. The iirst lady of the land was an old school chum of the President, Marjorie Crandall. Their marriage had culminated out of a happy school friendship. Her maids were Dorothy Lingenfelter and Maude Myers. A There now appeared a neat little cottage, Josephine Qmick was the happy ruler. She had married a minister and was now writing a book on How I Became a Preacher's lVife. Next I saw a large theatre. It was dazzling with lights that twinkled off and on with every second. I soon saw that the owners of this million dollar play house were Dave Randall and Harry Purnian. Zelma Justus at the head of her own com- pany supported by Ralph Huif as leading man were playing there that night. Lurlan Phillips had married but was a failure. She had taken the footlights to help her forget her dull life. Her main line was interpretative dancing. SF. l9231,ee. FORTY-SIX L i si af? THE CANTONIAN At the entrance of the beautiful theatre I recognized Lawrence Owens as ticket taker, Herbert Leech and YVilliam Hedrick were bell hops and looked very youthful in bright red uniforms. The next scenes appeared rapidly. I saw Cleighton Mosher leading citizen in a town! whose population was about two hundred. Dorothy Negley was living on a farm out west. Bernice Morse was her nearest neighbor. Both had married farmers and were devoted to the land out where the west begins. Turning again I saw a large building. It was without doubt a society of Old Maids. I was disappointed to see so many inmates. Those whom I recognized were Mable Carpenter, Amy Hayes, Vivian Baylor, Lorraine Nall and Bernice Derry. l One of the members had broken the vows of the club to assume the vows of another contract. Bernice VVatson was the one soon to be married. Standing at the entrance of the building was a woman trying to sell a book entitled The Romances of a High School Girl , the author was Geraldine Henning and the saleswoman, Kathryn Drake. Now I saw an old couple sitting before the iirelight. The old man was nodding his silvery head and his dear wife was mending. Gazing closer I knew it to be Carl Randolph and his good wife, Dorothy VVelsh. Once again I see a gay crowd gathered togetherg This time it was a Ladies' Aid Society. The ladies were all chattering and talking at once. The hostess was Mrs. Suydam, formerly Margaret Sporer. They were discussing the future of a few members, absent ones of course, but soon to be married. The ones who were about to leave the life of single blessedness were Dorothea VVilliams, Myrtle Coons, Roseanna Vllilliams and Alice Vifinship. ' Then quickly I caught a view of other classmates. Albert Trigg was a traveling man selling hymn books and playing cards. Carl Pierson and Albert Millington were firemen on one of the fast trains out of Canton. Now I could see a large crowd gathered upon a street corner listening to a speech. High upon a soap box stood Corbly Ronk. Some one was busily passing a hat. On looking more intently at the personage, I recognized Donyal Miller. Doyle Wheeler and Charles Thorn were policemen trying, but with futile effort, to check the riotous mob. Scenes whirled by rapidly in the next few minutes, and I saw many things revealed. Burton Burnett and Carl Crone were digging for gold in Alaska. Ruby Hedrick and Lulu Martin were running a quaint little tea-room. The waittresses were Ferne Hendee and Mildred Mellert. The garrulous cook appeared for a moment, but soon returned to the realm of good eats and I knew him to be Quentin Keefer. A happy looking couple were just boarding a train followed up by a shower of rice, placards and old shoes. The fair one was Blanche Miller. if LIQVQ3 at--E 'if' F FORTY-SEVEN -Q Q ?' ii3i1923'i I THE CANTGNIAN Then for a sudden the page was left blank. The opaque film was before me and I dared not speak, fearing that the end had come all too soon. But it was only for a second for more scenes followed soon. This time I saw a large audience. They seemed to be ,of all high intellectual people. They were applauding for another selection for a famous musician. As she walked back to make her formal bow I recognized Helen Blaekaby. The recital was being given in the beautiful home of Zola Roberts who had married a millionaire. Then I saw a busy shop. Before it read the sign, Beauty while you wait . I was intensely interested to see who had discovered the secret and found it to be my old chums, Jessie Turl and Helen Shoemaker. They were very wealthy without a doubt for the Shoppe was one of elegance. Other scenes flashed up brightly, then died out. I saws Jessie Havens teaching school in the little red school house. Mary Hedge had gone off with a circus and was a fancy horse back rider. VVilliam Heller was an aviator and had been exploring the antarctic circle region. Frances Van Syckel had married and was living on a farm. The chief occu- pation of the farm was a specialty on raising canary birds. Miriam Gosnell and Mildred Varnes had just returned from a trip made around the world on a bicycle. Michael Grubisich was the Mayor of a flourishing town about five miles south of Canton. The shadows were beginning to lengthen and I knew that we were almost to the end of the magic book. Yet a few scenes more and it would all be a memory. Essie Quilliam was a missionary in the darkest region of Africa. May Hunt was a nurse in one of the greatest hospitals in the United States. At that time she was taking care of Dollie Shoots who was recovering from injuries received in a railroad accident. Ruby Maupin had gone off in a canoe and had never been heard of since the day of graduation. For a few moments I said nothing. Unconsciously I crumpled a bill into the stranger's dusky palm. And as mysteriously as she had come she went away. Silently I went back to the house, leaving the hopes, the sorrows and the oys of life to the future in the great unknown. Quietly and with a. more reverent feeling I watched the tropical sun set. FORTY-EIGHT E ?

The bomb had exploded and 252 wide awake freshmen entered High 'School in 1920 to get an education. VVe, the class of '24, had lots of pep and were ready to help support the other classes as well as our own. XVe enjoyed our freshman year and entertained great hopes for the future. XVe, as Sophomores, felt greatly elated although our rnumbers had shrunk to 218. But re- gardless of size we knew we would make a name for ourselves. During our sophomore year three new organizations were formed, the orchestra, band and Literary Society. Our class was represented in each of these. In athletics we were strong, for in football Delos WVa.lker was a. letter man and Elmer Fairley and Eldridge Perdue were on the scrubs. NVe didn't have as good a showing in basket ball although Isadore Dentch and Delos WValker were on the second team. Vile all helped to support the A. L. M. A. and the Pennant wisely aware of our brilliance, made Bruce Conibear its reporter. Having thus crowned ourselves with glory as sophomores we all anxiously worked and waited for the distinction of being juniors. In September, 1922, one hundred and seventy-six entered school as full fledged juniors. According' to tradition of the school a class scrap between the Juniors and Seniors was staged in Zeigler's woods. It was a good fight but the Seniors got the doll? However we were not discouraged for it was better to have fought and lost than not to have fought at all. Vittum's woods was chosen as the scene for the next fray. NVe were all set and readyg the day arrived, but alas, it was raining and so the battle was off. The Seniors entertained us at a party which we all enjoyed. And as a class we wish to thank them for- such a good time. Early in the fall we had our class election and the following officers were chosen: Lawnmzce Pammn President ........... Vive President . . Brwcr: Coxxmzaa T-rensurer . . . EDWIN Eiucns Secretary ..... . . .... Dwrorrr Sravsxsox Our class colors are orange and white, our Hower is the Shasta Daisyg our motto, Look up, laugh and live. Later it was decided that we should have a party in place of the class fight so on Friday, Nov. 19th, we met in the gymg dancing and games were enjoyed. VVe have had a benefit show and food sale and have plans for more. This year we are well represented in athletics. Ehresman, Caruso, W'alker, Jolmson, and Roberts were on the football squad. W'e have three in basket-ball: Vittum, Pensinger and Deutch. Two officers in the A. L. M. A. are juniors: Vice-President, Dan Vittum., and Treasurer, Bruce Conibear. The Junior and Senior reception will be held in April or May. Rah! Rah! YVatch for the Class of M24-. KATHRYN BROXVN. is 2,1923 S if SEVENTY w 4 I 1 4 THE CANTONIAN N 1 4 I 1 1 i I l I E i ?

It had over 250 members-the largest Canton High School had ever welcomed. But, not satisfied with being the largest class, '25 has proven already that it has quality, as well as quantity. No six weeks or semester honor roll is ever complete without a long list of sophomore names. Irene Harris, a sophomore, represented our school at the Big Eight Girls' Declamatory Contest. Irene and Emma Brillhart participated in the Triangular Declamatory Contest. '25 also contributed two members, Ione Wfay and Clara Ortman, and two alternates, Helen Bell and John Miller, to the Big Eight Debating teams. A part of the success of the Glee Clubs, Band and Orchestra is due also to the musical members of our class. And in athletics '25 shines. The Bolon brothers and Oliver Mettler gained much prominence on the football squad in their freshman year, and, as sophomores, they greatly increased this under the leadership of Harry Bolon, captain of the eleven. lV:ith two more years ahead of them in which to play football for Canton I-high, these boys are certain to make our team known and feared by our opponents. Oliver Mettler as a star on the basketball team has brought glory upon himself, his class, and his school. Lloyd McGinnis has also dis- tinguished himself on the first team and Harold Kennedy and James Groutage have done well on the second team.. V -- But we must not leave out Bob! He is the genial assistant yell-leader, who, though small, has the right kind of voice. So we are expecting a great deal of Murphy in the future. W'ith such a record as this behind it the class of '25 is bound to show in the next two years that it is the biggest a11d best class in the school. VVatch us!

Even the Seniors can remember way back when they belonged to that class which is so commonly held in disdain by the upper classmen. They can all remember how they entered the school house and wondered at the size of it. The Juniors and Sophomores can remember all this, also. They remember how they were tormented by the upper classmen, and how glad they were when they became sophomores, and could exercise their influence and authority upon the succeeding freshman class. Last September a new freshman class entered the school. They, too, were aghast at the size of it. They! too, wondered at the number of students in the school. Many of them were totally lost in trying to find their classrooms. Mlany of them got. confused in the classroom, and last of all they were probably all terribly nervous. They remained in this state for many a weary day until at last they learned the ropes. But even then they were subjected to the torment of the upperclassmen. And so it will ever be with the freshman class. This year's freshman class was a large one, composed of about one hundred boys and girls. Many of the boys took an active part in school athletics. :Many girls and boys were on the Honor Roll. Most of them are well liked among their fellow students and teachers. The rest of them are just naturally good fellows fand girls lj. So far the freshmen have endured about all the average freshmen have had to endure. Only about ten weeks of school remain in this year. WVe will then know by our report cards whether we have studied diligently, worked hard and thought seriously, and if we have done all these things, after a long summer vacation QFD, we'll be sophomores!! So, come on freshmen, let's get together and boost the class of '26 sky high!

Canton is in a debating triangle, with Monmouth and Galesburg. For the last two years, Canton has had no debating teams, but this year, largely through the efforts of Mr. Hyndman and Mr. Snively, financed by the A. L. M. A. this phase of school work has been resumed. All of the debaters are first year speakers 5 that is, no one on either team has had experience before in this line of work. In January, the teams were picked and they started work in earnest. The Big Eight Debate was scheduled for March 16. Canton's negative team debated in Canton, against the Galesburg affirmative team. The affirmative from Canton debated Monmoutlfs negative at Monmouth. The question was, Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the coal mines.

David Randall won the preliminary contest with a cutting from If I WVere King , so he represented us at Moline. Although he did not place he ably upheld the reputation of the school. Bruce Conibear won second place with a cutting from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. Lawrence Palmer won third with a selection, The Bishop's Candlesticks . N Too much credit can not be given to Mr. Ethan Snively, who by his untiring efforts, has placed Canton among the leaders in declamatory work. Girls' Declamatory Contest This year we had the girls' triangular declamatory contest in which Canton, Monmouth and Galesburg took part. Each high school chose two teams. Emma Brillhart, Mary Conyne and Irene Harris represented us at Galesburg, January 265 Irene Harris, Mary Conyne and Emma Brillhart taking second, third, and fourth place respectively, thereby making our team win. At home, Dlata Mae Miller, Dorothy Nickerson and Corlieu Johnson represented us, the same night, Data Mae Miller placing second, with Monmouth capturing the honors. Through a series of difiicult contests, Irene Harris, who was awarded first place with the presentation of For His Mother's Sake , represented us at Gales- burg in the Big Eight , February 9. Data Mfae Miller received second place, her declamation being The Lion and the Mouseu, and Mary Conyne, third, giving a cutting from The Little Rebel . On the whole the contests this year were quite good, though not so many as usual, tried out. Much credit is due Mr. Snively, who spent untiring patience in bringing things to perfection. ' EIGHTY- FIVE THE CANTONIAN , if 3,r1923 THE CANTONIAN Literary Society The Literary Society which was organized last year has done very well in this, its second year. The society was organized to help the members to become eiiicient in speaking and oratory and to aid them in becoming clear-headed and forceful debaters. A great many students owe their training in public speaking to help received in the society. There are about fifty members in the society most of whom are there for the good they can get out of it. Officers are elected every three months, as provided for in the constitution. Paul Roberts held the presidency for the first three months of this year and Bruce Conibear for the last six months. Rules concerning the order of business are provided for in the constitution, which is a very good one and covers all the problems brought up. In case of a dispute over parliamentary law, the society has two parlia- mentarians who are prepared to settle it. Three parties have been held this year and those attending had a very enjoyable time. The society is not all work and no play but a judicious mixture of both which makes the society much more interesting. It surely deserves the support of every student who is loyal to Canton High. EKGHTY-SIX 5 iq' THE CANTONIAN w l l A. L. M. A. E The Athletic, Literary and Musical Association has again enjoyed a very prosperous year. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: President . . . . . . . . Mmlzm. BENSON Vice President . . . DAN VITTUINI 1 Secretary . . . FRANCES SARGENT A Treasure-r . . . . . . . . . BRUCE CONIBEAR The association has a membership of over five hundred, which i is the largest in its history. The increase in memberships each f year is due to the fact that the students realize more and more the advantages to be derived. From all indications there will be a very favorable balance at the end of the year which will probably be used to help provide C. H. S. with a much needed athletic field. .The executive committee wishes to thank the students for their hearty eo-operation which has done a great deal to insure the financial success of the year. Hereis hoping that in the future the -A. L. M. A. will be as blessed with success as it has been in the past. I l I K gi? 21 www?

The play was directed by Mr. Snively who deserved great praise for the way in which he brings out all the possibilities in his material and also adapts his char- acters to their part. 'Sunshine', a tonic for the gloom , is a very humorous portrayal of life in a sanitarium. The characters are a typical group of invalids gathered from all parts of the country. Naturally each one is vitally interested in his own ailment. Of course there is a love affair and a villain.

To Coach Peterman goes the admiration of the whole school for the excellent work he has accomplished in basketball, football, and track. In his first year here, 1920-1921, Peterman developed a fine basketball quint. Although the boys slipped in the district tourna- ment that year and lost their chance for the championship, they made a fine record under the leadership of the genial coach. In 21-22 a new sport was introduced at Canton High--football. E None of the students knew much about the game, and the task of whipping a team into shape was no Sunday School picnic affair. Coach Peterman called the candidates out and got them interested in the game, and as a result he turned out an eleven that was well able to live up to the old-time fighting spirit of the Purple and Old Gold. This same year another championship basketball iive was the lot of Canton High. Peterman's proteges went through the district tourney victorious, but in the opening game of the Peoria Sectional meet they fell before the lumbering onslaught of the heavy lVatseka High School basketmen, losing their chance for sectional honors by one point. The year just closing has crowned all of Peterman's efforts with success. Foot- ball turncd out better this year than it had the year before, but basketball took the first prize. lVith every old man but one lost by graduation, Peterman started out to build up his squad. Everyone expected that Canton would be represented by a mediocre quint, but they were fooled. VVith only one experienced man left on the squad around whom to build the team, Peterman perfected a machine that went through the district sectional, and on to the state tournament, in which they captured third place. lVith' the accomplishments of the past season to back him up, everyone expects that 'Peterman will put out a team next year that will find little difficulty in cap- turing the state championship-for the Hrst time in the history of Canton High. ? '31-,1923?Eiq if ONE HUNDRED EIGHT 'e ? gilgggl--E' 5? 1 THE CANTONIAN Football B Football at Canton High is just beginning to get a fairly good foothold along with the other sports that have been 'recognized in the school. Until two years ago, when football first became one of the sports of the Purple and 'Old Gold, basketball had held all the ringside seats. As a result it was hard for the people of the town and for the students to become interested in the gridiron game. The first year that we played football, things did not turn out so,well. VVhile the team was fairly strong and played a good game, the boys seemed to be unable to get the knack of things so that they could do just what they wanted just at the right time. During the past season the playing of the team steadily improved, until at the close of the season we sported a quite respectable eleven. Although we lost a number of the games played-we won a few, too, and the boys, considering their inexperience, did very well. f , The worst defeat of the year came from Moline High School. The northern school was played upon its own Held, and handed us a lemon to the tune of 96 to O. Probably the best game of the year was that played between Canton High and Cuba High School elevens. Both teams were determined to win, but Cuba had a sneaky feeling that they could slip one over on the Plow City punters, possibly the home team was inclined to underestimate the strength of the Cubans, for it came near being a defeat for Canton at the hands of Cuba. The game was finally fought out to a 6 to 6 tie. Both teams played real football, and the rivalry between the two schools furnished an incentive for every man to play his best. This game showed up a lot of good points about the locals and gave a chance to see just who the men were who could stand up and take their punishment when the strain was very severe. Next year should see Canton High with a first class football eleven. A large number of the men who played on the 1922 eleven will be back, and the experience they have already had should enable them to get right into the thick of things and take anything that is in their class. A few positions will be left vacant by the grad- uation of some few players, but it is felt that these will easily be filled, with men who are thoroughly competent to hold them down. Each year sees an increase in the number of men going out for football. It is expected that next season Coach Peterman will have a greatly larger :squad upon his hands than he has had for the past two seasons. Financially football has not yet proven itself to be a success. The first year we went in for it, the A. L. M. A. lost money on the venture. During the past season a still smaller amount was lost. This shows that while people are not yet sufficiently interested in football to make it pay, that they are steadily gaining more and more interest in the rugged sport, and the general belief is that the next season will see football paying for itself in full.

'3Ti1923-4 The Gridders CAPTAIN BOLON surely is a football player. At his regular position, tackle, he shines like the star of Bethlehem. Bolon entered school last year knowing nothing of the gridiron sport. He came out for football practice, made the team, and this year he was elected captain. KEEFER, ournheavyweight halfback, teamed up with Heylin is a plunging fool. Tabby hits the line hard, and he tears some awful holes in it. Keefer is a wonder player, both on the offensive and on the defensive. LUCIEN BOLON, Harry's baby brother, is a whale of a guard. VVhen they get by Lu- cien, the whole team gives up, for when Lucien weakens they are lost. Lucien plays a mean game and sure tears an opposing line to pieces, and he always has that grin on his face. Lucien has several years more to play with Canton Hights football eleven. BABCOCK, fullback, made himself a reputation as a plunging plunger during the time that he played with the team during the past season. Babcock carries the weight and speed to make a real gainer on line plunges, and had he had a little more experience would have been able to do even more than he did. Babcock graduates this year. VVALKER, our husky fullback, played his second year of football with the 1922 Canton High eleven. NValker plays a. rip-snorting game and was responsible for many good gains in every game that he performed in. XValker understands the game thoroughly, and as he is a junior this year he will be back next term to plunge his way through opposing teams to' bring more glory to the Purple and Old Gold. HEYLIN plays furious ball in the hackfield. A fleet halfhack, he has been responsible for the majority of Cantonis touchdowns in the past two years. Heylin will leave a vacancy in the backfield when he graduates this spring that will- be hard to till. WIISSLER, Captain-Elect for 1923, is a wizard in the line. As a tackle he can't be beaten. Vtiissler plays a consistent game and never gives up. Without a doubt he is the right man for the captainey. He left school at the end of the first semester otherwise he would have graduated with the class of '23g he will now be hack for football in the fall. BIG MIKE Grubisich, one of the classiest ends that has been seen around Canton in her two years of football, will be lost to the team by graduation. Mike has the old punch and keeps things going all the time with a running' fire of talk. . Mlike suffered a lot of hard luck this year, being troubled with boils in the armpit which kept him out of the game for a long time. Had Mike been in the best of physical condition, he would have shown a great many new wrinkles of the game. KARL RANDOLPH, diminutive but fast, played a good season at the end position. Al- though Randolph had hard luck fon a visitor very often during the past season he stood up well under the strain, and performed accreditably. Randolph will be lost to next year's team as he is a senior and will graduate with the class of '23, Randolplfs position will be hard to fill, and were it possible for him to play another year he would show some real stuff. ONE HUNDRED TWELVE MQ THE CANTONIAN Et ri? l 5 THE CANTONIAN Z METTLER, quarterback, will probably be heard from more regularly as far as football is concerned next season. Ollie grabbed off the pilot's berth with little difficulty, and al- though he was new at the game, he made a good record. Mettler is expected to do some big things in football in the coming season. CARUSO, guard, will be back next year to help the Canton printers go through a suc- cessful season. Old Ironhorsev knows his stuff, but he says that at Moline he didn't any more than get up on his feet than some Swede came along and knocked him down again. NVe all hate to see Pete playing this rough game because he is so frail, but we are glad to know that he will be back in the line in the fall. KENNIE JOHNSON, a sophomore and performing for the first time on a football eleven did very creditable work and has already been awarded one letter for football. Johnson makes a pleasing appearance and looks good upon the field. He will he back for two more years and it is sincerely hoped that he has not won his last letter for football. HOULDSW'ORTH, a new man at football this year, made himself a good record and won his letter the first year he was out for the sport. Houldsworth is a junior and will come in handy at the halfback position next year. VV7e're all pulling strong for Jakie to get out and show his stuff next year. DIKEMAN plays a good game at the center position, his greatest asset is his weight. Dikeman will be graduated this year and will leave the Purple and Old Gold in the hole so far as experienced center man is concerned. Dikeman's old fight will be missed this next SCHSOII. JAMES HRUDOLPH VASELINO' GROUTAGE, playing his first year of football at both end and tackle positions, shakes a wicked ankle and makes a. real showing wherever he performs. Groutage, although he has his duties as the sheik of the team to attend to, plays a neat game and should prove valuable to next year's team. . 5 1, NY' fit Viv' lssiim Q as in 5 if . -- 1 9 2 3 -A ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN THE CANTONIAN Q Basketball The 1922-23 basketball season, starting with many evil premonitions, finally turned out to be very favorable for Canton High. At the first of the year the general opinion was that Canton would have nothing but a ypassable quint because all the experienced men, except one, had been graduated with the class of '22. The new men got into the spirit of the thing as soon as they were called out, and before the season had passed the Purple and Old Gold basketeers were being talked about all over the state. Coupled with the fact that our team was successful during the past season, comes the realization that the men who 'made up the personnel of the quint were all real sports. Not one of them was known to have pulled any little trick that might have injured an opposing player. The full extent of the good sportsmanship of the Plow City tossers was best shown in the final game of the district tournament, when the Canton High and the Trivoli High School quints fought out one of the fastest and most hotly contested games ever seen on the local floor, and all through the game the outstanding feature was the clean play, not only of Canton, but of Trivoli also. At the opening of the season, the locals took the polished floor with practically everyone talking against them. They were said to be so weak that they would be easy meat for almost all of the teams they were to meet. Before five games had been played the neat work of the men had everyone rooting for them. Going on, the Canton cages did what was considered almost an impossibility for them, when they carried off the district championship honors. But the biggest thing of the season was, when after losing three times to Peoria High and once going down to defeat before the mighty Manualites, the Canton boys, the admitted underdogs, carried oii iirst place in the Peoria Sectional tournament by defeating Manual on a 20 to 21 count. The victory over Manual gave Canton the right to send a team to the state tourney, where .we carried on to third place in the state-and it took Villa Grove, the state champions, to defeat us. That there were 54-0 teams entered in the tournaments over the state this year makes third place look good, for it means that there are but two teams in the state better than Canton, and 537 who are far below our classy bunch. Taken all in all, the 1922-23 basketball season was highly satisfactory to all concerned. The 1923-24+ season should prove even better, for only one regular will be lost to the team through graduation, while all the men left have the advantage of one scason's experience. Had the men of this ycar's team been better seasoned they would undoubtedly have carried off the blue ribbon at Urbana. The fans are eagerly awaiting the coming of the next basketball season for they believe that old Canton High will have something to make the best sit up and take notice. The height of all Canton's ambitions will be to retaliate for those three losses we suffered at the hands of Peoria High, and it remains for next year's squad to get the revenge that will be sweet to Cantonians. e 'di l923fii5,f iii X ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN T1-1jE CANTONIAN Q qu ' ' W f' N I I 1 i ! I I I 1 S 'Sis 2 19:23 ONE HUNDRED F i 1 l 'iii Q5 THE CANTONIAN if 66 Q2 The Basketeers CAPTAIN HEYLIN has made a splendid record during his years of play with the C. H. S. basketball teams. Heylin plays a consistent game and has the valuable ability of holding the team together, even though the breaks of the game are going against it. XVithout Heylin, the 1922-23 team would have been very much in the background. The wiry haired pivot man has seldom met his equal in jumping, and, as a result, he succeeds in getting the tip-off' to his men. Next year Canton High will have to dig up a new man for center, as Heylin will be graduated with the class?of '23. VITTUM, in the double harness with McGinnis, played through a real year of basketball. Although this was Vittunfs first year on the squad he showed that he has the stuff in him to make a real player. At the guard position he did some fine work, and is certainly deserving and entitled to every bit of credit that is' thrown his way. Vittum has one more year in high school. Next year should see Vittum and McGinnis tying up into a real pair of defenders. GERALD PENSINGER, our lanky forward, is one of the most sensational basketmen who ever appeared in the Purple and Old Gold uniform. Pensinger 'entered school at the op- ening of the second semester and immediately grabbed a berth on the first squad, and his play- ing warranted the position. Pensinger performed well with the Canton quint and has been mentioned all over the state as a valuable man. In the tournaments Penny demonstrated his ability to perfection. Pensinger has another year to play, as he is a junior. Pensinger was the only Canton man who received a. place on the district all-star quint. OLIVER METTLER, forward, stepped into the thick of things this year and became n much-talked-about young man through his often demonstrated prowess upon the polished boards. Mettler is a hard man to guard, and few were the men who succeeded in holding him down. M.ettler's greatest assets are his basket eye and his snappy floor work. The scrappy forward is always good for several baskets, and packs a reverse turn that has made many a guard look foolish. Mettler is a sophomore and has two more years to perform with the Pur- ple and Old Gold quint. MCGINNIS, our wild Irish rose, played a wonderful season at the guard position. Ginny did some stellar work and deserved, but did not secure, a place on one of the district all-stars. McGinnis is a second Simong this in itself shows what his brand of play amounts to. McGin- nis is a sophomore, and by the time he is graduated he will probably be developed into one of the best guards that Canton High has ever produced. DIKEMAN, a reserve guard of proven ability, played his last year of high School basket- ball with the 1922-23 team. Dikemanihas held a place on the squad for sometime, and had it not been for an injured ankle received early in the season he probably would have won a regu- lar berth. Dikeman is a good man and his place will be hard to fill. DEUTCH, a classy man at forward, will be back next year to make a try for a first squad position. Izzy', has helped the team out of ruts more than once, and his value will be shown in full next season. Deutch is still a little light, but his speed makes up for any lack of weight. ONE -HUNDRED SIXTEEN 1 9 2 3 H-- ,c iw gi S THE CANTONIAN GROUTAGE, the Sheik of the team, held down the utility center position. Groutage is a likely prospect, and is expected to cop off the pivot position of next year's quint. Jim is al- most always good for three or four baskets, but he has a bad habit of falling down. VV'ith a. little stiff training Groutage will become a classy playerg he has two more years in school. HOGAN, another reserve man for the forward position, showed this year that he has the makings of a real player in his system. This was Hogan's' first year upon the team, had be had a little more experience he would undoubtedly have been a regular. On a big floor the di- minutive forward is in his glory, for he seems to gallop all over the place. Chris graduates this year, and in doing so he robs Canton High of a man who could be developed into a phenom- enal player. ARMSTRONG, utility forward, plays a heady game, but he had a. great deal of hard luck on baskets during the past year. Armie is most valuable for working the ball down the tloor to the basket. He possesses' an aggressive style of play, that can't be beaten. If Arm- strong had another year in school he would certainly show some real class. RONK, a valuable utility man, has played his last year with Canton High teams. Ronk's picture does not appear in the basketball section, because he was ill at the time the pictures were taken, but if any man deserves to have his picture in such a publication, Ronk is a head- liner. For four long years Ronk toiled every night at basketball practice and although he got very little reward, playing in but a. few games, he certainly deserves as much credit as any man who ever performed on a Canton athletic team. Ronk is one of those fellows who is bound to get on in the world, for he has that qualityiof sticking to what he starts. Ronk, on the second team, worked wonders in the play of the regulars, for they had to pass him tow get any place in their practice. It is such men that make the world go round. Corbly graduates this year, and we wish him all the success that he can possibly pile up for himself.

The two, who have worked together in this capacity for the past two years, were awarded special C's for their good work.

Doc's folks have settled in Crystal Lake, Ill., and he is seriously considering taking up the advantages offered in the Crystal Lake High School for I his senior year. Should Doc do this we will be minus a fine man to lead the cheers. Murphy is sure to be back in old Canton High next year, and we are assured that one of the two will be on the job. Murphy will do his best to fill the place that has been taken by both he and Doc g he has a big job before him and we wish him the best of luck. 1 I I 1 '31Jc1923' Q5 ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN C3ir1s' Basket- ball 1923 SENIORS Front row: Nc-val Burrellg Blunt-he Miller: Fran- ces Szu'gvntg Rm-we Anna.

DONN '93 The Alumni Association is the one department of the Canton High School that has had an uncertain existence from its origi-nal organization. Twice it has appar- ently given up the ghost but someone has always 'thought it worth reviving until here we are in 1923 with about two hundred members. That is not a large membership, when one considers the numbers who graduate every year. lVhy is it that so few join this association? Is it possible that only we old timers care to remember the good times we had in High School, and to meet our old friends at least once a year at the re-union during commencement week? Last year, we did not have as many present at the re-union as in some former years in spite of the fact that we welcomed five new grandchildren into the associa- tiong Harriet Prentice, Omar Vittum, and Doney Johnson, whose mothers are High School graduates, and Lewis Piper ands Maurice Carver who claim their descent through their fathers. The class of 1923 also will have several grandchildren to add to the roll. The Alumni's real excuse for living is its scholarship. Every year since 19111-, we have paid one hundred dollars to some one who proves that he is worthy by standing creditably in a competitive examination. The purpose of this scholarship has never been primarily a reward for high grades, but rather to help some one to the extent of one hundred dollars, to have at least one year of college work, who otherwise could not have that advantage. This scholarship is maintained by the association members through small individual pledges. In the nine years since we first offered the scholarship, we have never had pledges amounting to one hundred dollars. But by economizing on the reunion, enough has been saved from the dues to complete the amount. It has often seemed like taking something from nothing, nevertheless, when the payments were due, the money has always been forthcoming. VVe have never failed to meet our obligation. Just now bankruptcy is farther away than it has been for many years. If the dues and pledges come in as promptly as usual, the scholarship for 1923 is assured. It has been the dream of the Alumni financiers that this scholarship might be endowed, so that its permanency might be assured. To that end a fund was started by the class 'of 1914 who made as their class gift to the High School, a donation to this fund. It has grown a little, but much too slowly. Perhaps 1923 will care to invest some of their wealth in the good cause. The following have held the Alumni scholarship: James Scott, 19145 Elizabeth Crane, 19155 Hobart Snider, 1916, Helen Saun- ders, 191'7g Dean Barrick, 1918, Lillian Hatfield, 1919, Aileen Snively, 19205 Dor- othy Drake, 19219 Donald Smith, 1922. ? 3 :1923 5 jf' ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO THE CANTONIAN f 4 X I Y r 3 P 6 u l E: ND .
