Kirtley Atkinson at the Alice Ingersoll Gymnasium, December 10th. The play takes place at a party for some newly wedded couples in the home of John Bowen. Danny Grundy, who is in love with Anna, Mrs. Bowen's sister, has a habit of gossiping about all his friends. He doesn't know that the couples at the party are married, and he proceeds to repeat gossip about each of the brides to their respective husbands and about the husbands to their wives. just imagine the outcome!

Four members debated before the Kiwanis Club, February Z3rd. The question was: Resolved, that vocational education should constitute at least one-half of the requirements for graduation from high school. The affirmative team, Francis Vandermeer and Nelson Ross, won over the negative side which was upheld by Virgil Nolan and Bernard Maxwell. The question which will be hard hit from both sides in the Big Nine this year reads: Resolved, that the present tendencies of installment buying as developed in the United States should be condemned. All but one of our Big Nine debatets are members of the public speaking classes. After a trip to Peoria, where each gathered material for both sides df the question, they were divided into two groups. Then they drew for negative and affirmative sides. The Big Nine triangular debates will be held March 13th this year. Our Affirmative team goes to Monmouth to debate with their negatives. Galesburg's afiirmatives come to Canton, and Mon- mouthis affirmative debaters go to Galesburg. We wish them luck!

ATKINSON After winning the local girls' and boys' declarnation contests in 1929, Eleanor Brown and Harold Taylor represented Canton in the County contests in the spring of 1930. Harold brought home the bacon in the form of first place honors. And believe us, pork tastes pretty good after all these years. This year there was no boys' declamation in the Big Nine. It was replaced by an oratorical contest. Harold won first place in Canton High, while Bernard Maxwell won second and Charles Perkins placed third. Harold represented us in the Big Nine at Kewaunee where he placed fifth with Sam Houstonls Oration on His Defeat for the Presidencyf' As the result of an elimination contest, six girls were chosen from the group that reported for declamation work. The girls gave a public presentation of their declamations in the Dra- matic Room. Eleanor Brown was awarded first place with her reading, Mercedes. Katherine Orendorff won second place and Margaret Gibbons, third. October 30, Eleanor went to Gales- burg where she represented the school in the Big Nine Contest.

This year the Board of Education redecorated his studio, giving the students an atmosphere conducive to greater effort. Under his direction the Glee Clubs, Orchestra, High School and Junior Bands have grown appreciably in numbers as well as in the quality of their work. Last year he directed the combined Bands and Glee Clubs df the County in a concert presented at the Alice Ingersoll Gymnasium. This was the first of its kind in the history of Fulton County. The event will be repeated this year and is being eagerly looked forward to by those who attended last year's program and also by those taking part. The student body wishes to assure Mr. Walker of its appreciation of his ever-ready cooperation in all school activities.

You've never seen a group who likes to talk better than this one does. These singers meet in the music room every Thursday at Chapel Period to practice. Despite their love df chattering they are fast learning to be silent when Mr. Walkerys baton beats its imperious tatoo on the music stand. Though our music room is not in the least like a prison, the girls each have a number by which they answer roll. After roll-call Mr. Walker gives the signal, Marcella plays the introduction and then-such harmony! Really, the girls can sing! Their work this year is based upon a collection of trios.

Ir was a gathering of International Harvester men and their families. The following Tuesday, the 17th, they participated in a concert at the gym. They are eagerly looking forward to their part in the County Musical Meet, which we hope will become an annual affair. Glee Club work is not only interesting but highly beneficial.

B ERNARD MAXWELL One of the most important factors in the development of Canton High School activities has been the A. L. M. A. just as its name suggests, it sponsors and finances all athletic, literary, and musical events of the school. Athletics has always been favored here at C. H. S.g but if it hadn't been for the A. L. M. A. the spirit and enthusiasm of literary and musical work would have soon died out. Each year the A. L. M. A. tries to excel all of the preceding years, and everyone can truly say that this year has been one of their best and most successful yeafss Outdoing last year's Lyceum offer, the Association this year reduced the rate and made the price of the ticket for the whole year one dollar and fifty centsg the price of the semester ticket was eighty centsg and for the band and all athletes the price was forty cents. This entitled all of its members to attend all home athletic events free of charge. With this rate, three football or basketball games would pay for the ticket, and you gained admittance to over twenty games besides. This ticket was not only open to high school students, but to gram- mar school students as well. Many of them joined the association. There were over five hun- dred students in all who took advantage of this marvelous offer. Ir not only helped the student fans, but also helped the teams themselves. It purchased a great deal of new equipment for the 1930 football season. They have never had a scoreboard on the football field. Although it was not finished in time for use, the scoreboard erected by the Association will be used for the coming football seasons. Tennis and track also received new equipment. Besides other things which the A. L. M. A. donated, the basketball team were the recipients oif some novel black and white sweat jackets. The A. L. M. A. cleared up some bills left over from last year. They voted to pay a salary to all those who assisted at any athletic event held in Canton. Perhaps one of their most munificent gifts of the year was their generous donation of the proceeds of the Peoria Central-Canton game for the benent of Canton's unemployed. The A. L. M. A. wishes to thank the student body for their support and hearty cooperation in making this Association a huge success, for without their help, the A. L. M. A. could not exist. But who could help but give their support to such a helpful organization? Page 65 we AN ONIAN we Page 66 G. A. A. President ....,. . . . ........,. ,4,... G RACE MEIER Vice-President ..,, .,,.

Miss SECOR Snatches of And oh, my dear, he's just divinef, mingled with Yessiree, we beat the Sophsln were just parts of the exclamations that only girls can chatter in the last moment before a G. A. A. meeting-or anything else! But soon everything gets very businesslilce, which is an outstanding characteristic of this G. A. A. Club. The Canton chapter of the G. A. A. was organized in 1924, and since then it has rapidly grown in importance. This year they have tried to emphasize their purpose, which is to promote better girls' athletics and healthier bodies and minds. This objective, which rivals everything unclean and unwholesome, has added impetus to the organization. One hundred points are required to become a member. These may be gained in keeping training rules or in any of the organized sports. The initiates receive a small Cf, while 600 points are required to get a large Cf, The G. A. A. silver pin is awarded for 1,200 pointsg the first state emblem for 1,600 points, and the second state emblem for 2,000 points. Never- theless, the true rating of sportsmanship and ideals is not detracted from by the monetary value of the emblems, which are awarded to the girls who show best sportsmanship throughout the year. A Benefit Show was given during the last semester. A Boy and Girl party was also given. Yes, C. H. S., can't we truly say that this year the G. A. A. deserves all the praise we can give?

A. members were the Play Days held at Brinfield, Illinois, and at Peoria. Several accompanied Miss Secor, and gained new ideas and friendships from the girls of the other cities. Last summer Grace Meier, the president, and Anna Sepich, who was elected by the members, went to G. A, A. Central Camp at Old Salem. It was too bad that Canton could be represented by only two girls, as many smaller towns had ten delegates.

A. for the country girls started out as a grand success. Two girls were appointed hostesses 'for each week and they arranged the menu and helped serve. During the luncheon a diverting program arranged by the girls entertained. A contest for new members excited much interest during the second semester. The girls also sold candy to help pay the annual pledge to the Y. M. C. A. They cooperated with the Be Square in putting on the benefit show, parties, and other social activities. Both the Be Square and Noon Hour girls sold the tickets to the benefit show, the proceeds of which were donated to the unemployed. An Alumni tea and a Christmas party were enjoyed by both groups during Christmas vacation. The Girl Reserves helped to live up to their ideal as they went Christmas Caroling for rhe sick. Many lasting friendships this year have brought a deeper meaning to the girls of what a Girl Reserve should be. 65492 President . ..,. .,,.,,........ . . . ,.,., MARCELLA DAWSON Vice-President . . , ..,.

MARY KAY DAILY Advisors: Miss PowELL, Ch., Miss HARRISON, Miss Cox, Miss SILVA The Be Square Girl Reserves meet every other Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. for a potluck supper, a business meeting, and a short program. Many round-table discussions on each line of the Code and high school problems aroused the enthusiasm of the many members attending. This year a new idea was used which had many pleasing results. The girls organized into three groups, all of which met after school. The Music Group, who organized a Ulcelele Club instructed by Miss Harrison, gave several programs at different business men's clubs. They also tool: up the history of music. The Handicraft Group, under the supervision of Miss Grace Silva, learned how to make waste paper baskets, silhouettes, yarn pocketbooks, and many other useful articles. The Dramatic Group, also directed by Miss Harrison, toolc up the different Girl Reserves' functions. The girls are very grateful to their leaders, Miss Silva and Miss Harrison. Rings were rewards 'for the Junior and Senior Girl Reserves. These were to help them live up to their standard, which is: A Christlilce spirit, a keen mind, and a perfect body. A Ring luncheon was given for the Ring Wearers. A Chili Supper, Mother's Day Tea, Dad and Daughter's Banquet, and a Circus Party were only added successes to this yearls accom- plishments.

A., has had one of its most successful years. Thirty-six members were enrolled this year-an increase over last year's. Their purpose, which has been an important factor contributing to their success, is to create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The boys meet every Thursday noon for a hot dinner in the Y. M, C. A. dining room. A committee of boys chose their own menu and their own waiters. Talks by prominent business men and educational and heated round-table discussions were added attractions. An unusually large number of delegates attended the Older Boys' Conference held at Danville, Illinois. Reports were given by these boys, telling of their interesting experiences, after they had returned. The annual Father and Son Banquet was backed by the club. Later in the year the Mother and Son Banquet was equally successful. Several Hi-Y dances furnished the social enter- tainment in the latter part of the second semester. The club is greatly indebted to the untiring efforts of their advisors, Mr. Bassler and Mr. Gentry. Although quite a few of the members graduate this year, none of the boys will ever forget the helpful live-wire discussions at the Hi-Y. 2223 ANTQN IAN ea-ee HI-Y Im sure that after you have heard what the Hi-Y has done this year you'll want to meet the members So here they are: Edward Barron Homer Fouts Bernard Maxwell Harry Baxter Willard Knott Stephen Wright Ronald Franlcovich John Snively Taylor Buflum Francis Vandermeer Roy Dulce Kenneth Landis Robert Stafllebach Virgil Noland Willis Culron Minor Schenclc Lee Morrell Austin Denny john Freeman I-lirschle Irons Lynn Girard Eugene Tanner Craig Miller Kenneth Budd John Coleman Douglas Peters Spencer Phillips Merle Snider John Palian Harry Baxter Robert Lacey Sam Sebree Charles Perkins Charles Putman James Wilhoit Paul Carter Merle Carter Philip Ortman Page 71 were' TONIAN W Page 72 QUILL AND SCROLL President . . , . . . . , . . . . , .,,.

Miss JOHNSON The Canton chapter of the Quill and Scroll, an international society for high school journalists, organized here in 1928, is only one out of four hundred chapters of this great organization. Eight thousand of the ablest young journalists in America wear the badge of this society. The purpose of the Quill and Scroll is to encourage and reward individual achieve- ment in journalism, and to raise the quality of High School journalism. To become a member of this organization one must be in the upper third of his class scholastically and either a member of the Pennant Staff or Cantonian Stali. Everyone who wishes to become a member must write an article which is sent in to the international society. If it meets the necessary requirements, you are accepted as a member. The members wear the international society pin-a small gold scroll with a quill across it. The members also receive the bi-monthly Quill and Scroll magazine, which is endorsed and contributed to by Americais most outstanding journalists and educators. Mr. Medus, Miss Franz, and Miss Johnson are honorary faculty members. Early in the year a weiner roast was enjoyed by the old members at Big Creek park. The new Quill and Scroll initiation was formally held for the pledges in the last semester. The following were members: Charlene Qrtman, Dorothy Lee Harris, Stephen Wright, Bernard Maxwell, John Coleman, Gordon McGraw, Theo Downs, Velma Denny, Lela Stevens, Eleanor Brown, Mary Elizabeth Churchill, Edmund Johns, Evelyn Baxter, Vivian Slaughter, Mildred Mercer, Grace Meier, and Lera Miller. 2-2,2-9 TQN I AN ea-ee THE PENNANT First Semester Second Semester Editor-in-Chief . ,...

Although school vacations and examinations often interrupted, the class tried their best to get the paper out weekly. The price was only twenty-five cents a year-much lower than many other school papers. The members of the Journalism class are chosen from the preceding Sophomore and Junior classes because of superior ability in English. There were only eight in this year's class. The annual Freshman issue was published during the second semester. One big feature of the year was the Scandal issue. Besides these, there were the lively news items, editorials, and other snappy features. A new experiment was tried out this year. Different members of the class carried on project work with the Ledger. A column of high school news with subjects such as The History of the Pennant and Cantonianf' 'tThe Ag Clubf, The Students' Part in the District Tourna- ment, was printed by the class. Many of the members of the class joined the Quill and Scroll and entered many of the contests for high school journalists. They had a wide and varied list of exchanges, even having one from Honolulu. The members of the class appreciate the untiring eiforts of Miss Johnson, and also Mr. King and the printshop boys who have tried so hard to make the Pennant the best paper ever. They have tried to live up to the ideal set forth by a reporter on the Ledger: The current issue of the Pennant is a snappy, newsy, wellaorganized edition and is one of which the school can be proudf, Page 73 EM ANTON IAN W Page 74 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Officers President ....... , . , . . . . . .STEPHEN WRIGHT Vice-President . . . 4,,..

M I s s CONKLIN Since its organization last fall, the French Club has enjoyed a very active career. The first undertaking was a beneht show which was presented at the Garden Theater featuring Maurice Chevalier in The Big Pond. It was found infinitely entertaining and proved a financial success. In November they sponsored Un Moment Musical de 1930,', which was presented before the assembly. The drawing room represented on the stage made an effective background for the classical program offered by Miss Strube, Miss Christopher, and Mrs. Neighbor. Some of the solos were sung in French and the instrumental numbers were by French composers. Mr. Walker and his orchestra willingly 'furnished part of this pleasing and much appre- ciated program. Monday, February 23, following Washington's birthday, a formal dedication program was carried out by the club in Room 28. At this time they presented to the department hand- painted portraits of Washington and Lafayette purchased with part df the proceeds of the benefit show. The pictures of the heroes were hung beside the flags of their respective nations. As the dedicatory speech was being made and the pictures were being unveiled, the strains of The Star Spangled Bannern drifted to their ears from the Band Room above. This was another instance of Mr. Wallcer's Hne cooperation. Some members gave short reviews of the lives of Washington and Lafayette and their great friendship. The presence and speech of a native Frenchman added interest and atmosphere to the impressive program. 2'2'2'2f AN TON IAN sees LAETI LATINI First Semester Second Semester Dux ......,.....,,.,,, MARY E.

Miss FRANZ The twelve members of the Latin IV class met and selected for the name of their club this year ':Laeti Latini, which, translated, means ujoyful Latinsf' They have had one of their most successful years, since every member tried to do his best. They had a supper once every month. These were often social and business meetings com- bined. Early in the year they had a weiner roast out at Big Creek Park and studied the stars later in the evening. They have become quite advanced astronomers. The club took up an extended study of the Odyssey, Homer,s great epic, and compared it with the Aeneid. The Latin Club this year, for the first time, sponsored a benefit show, The Princess and the Plumber, starring Charles Farrell and Maureen O'Sullivan. The proceeds netted them about twenty-six dollars, which they used for buying Roman pictures for their class room. The members this year also selected a new pin in the shape of a small gold lamp. Although the Latin Club is not very well known by the rest of Canton High, it has become very important and valuable to the Latin students. They are much indebted to the unceasing efforts of their advisor, Miss Franz. Page 75 we TONIAN W Page 76 SCIENCE CLUB Officers President ...,......, .

BENBOW This year a new department has been added to Canton High School, the Vocational Agri- cultural Department. The courses offered are of especial interest to boys who reside in the country. The courses this year were Animal Husbandry and Crop Production. Additional courses in Farm Mechanics and Farm Management will be added as the work of the depart- ment progresses. Home project work must accompany enrollment in the agriculture course and additional credit is given for this work. The extension activities carried on by the boys in the Ag Club included the Grain, Poultry, and Rabbit Showg Father and Son Banquetg Seed Corn Testing for Farmers in the 1,600 ear-capacity germination and various demonstrations pertaining to Seed Corn Selection, Soil Testing, and so forth. The recreational activities of the club included Basketball, Handball, and Horseshoeg Judg- ing Contests, and Orational Contests. On March 2, 1931, twenty-one members of the Ag Club were initiated into the Green Hand degree of the National Vocational Agriculture Students' Organization '5Future Farm- ers of America, thus establishing the Canton Chapter. -2 Page 77 M P 173 5515 b Page 78 !f X A V mf f7 2 f f J ff J A. i V N41 ' 0 r-A ' .

By the looks of his material it seems as though some good work has been done. Jim is strictly a home town product. He played regular two years on two of the best basketball machines Canton High School ever put out. He was captain of the club his senior year and played regular center on the football team for two years. He was also a valu- able man on the track team. jim graduated from the University of Illinois in '30. He didn't go out for athletics at the University on account of being busy. Good luck, Jimmy! COACH ARCHIE CHADD In the two years Mr. Chadd has been with us we have witnessed, beyond any doubt, a great improvement in athletics. His untiring spirit and determined ef- forts have placed Canton High School athletics on a larger scale and a higher plane than ever before. Mr. Chadd graduated from Bainbridge, Indiana, High School, where he starred four years in football, basketball, and track. The following fall he entered Butler College, where he played three years regular varsity basketball, his last year as captain, three seasons as a regular on the varsity baseball team, and one year as assistant coach. Congratulations on your past successes and all the luck in the world!

These boys were on the job all season working hard and conscientiously. They stirred up more noise at a basketball game than you'd think three boys could have done. Jimmy Wilhoit, Bob Stafllebach, and Doug Peters, three good fellows and line yell leaders. These three boys are responsible for our school spirit and pep. And what would our athletics be without school spirit and noise? It would be just exercise for the players. So let's give these boys a big hand and wish them the same success next year in keeping the old pepper up. Welre loyal to you, Canton High, We're faithful and true, Canton High, We'll cheer for your name, Which we're all proud to claim, And Weill sing to your fame, Canton High, Rah! Rah!

S. on the gridiron this last year. The season was the longest and most difhcult ever attempted here before, but the coach and the boys worked diligently that they might make :football history in Canton, which they did. The team functioned perfectly during the early part of the season and went through all opposition successfully until they met the powerful Beardstown team on the home sod. It was a blow, since a clear slate for the season was the object of the team, but they continued on through the latter part of the lengthy season with determination. Some of the best teams in this part of Illinois were met and several victories were registered by our opponents. Owing to the fact that only four games were scheduled in the Big Nine we were not eligible for honors, since five games scheduled and played against Big Nine schools are required for a team's eligibility. A big honor was bestowed on the team and Ed Barron when he was selected to hold down right end on the Big Nine All-Conference team. Ed well deserved the honor, since he played hard all season and his kicking toe brought a well-earned victory in the East Moline game via the field goal route. In a vote among players Ed was elected to captain next year's team. The annual Thanksgiving Day game with Pekin was called oil on account of bad weather, much to the disappointment of many who anticipated this annual struggle between these two ancient rivals. Much credit is due Coach Chadd, who worked diligently with the boys that they might carry the Purple and Old Gold to victories hitherto unheard of in the annals of C. H. S. Page 83 Sw ANTON IAN We Page 84 GLEN MCMULLIN fUpper Leftj Muck turned out to be a steady, fighting guard. He was always in the thick of the play. Back for another season, he should star on the '31 team, Glen is a hard, sure tackler and out to win all the time. 'QMuck is a Junior. RICHARD HINDERLITER fTop Centerj Dick was one of the mainstays of the line at all times. He starred all year for dependability. His hard driving and determined tackling turned the tide of defeat several times. Graduating after three years as a regular, he will be missed on the ,3l eleven. FRANK O,BRIEN fRight Centerj Frank made up for his lack of weight by his scrap and energy. His hard tackling and driving offensive play was a feature of the season. Frank kept boring in all the time and used his hands well. For real Irish grit Frank canit be beat. His is another Senior. HAROLD TAYLOR fLeft Centerj Harold was our best open field runner and was responsible for many gains with his long end runs. He will be missed next year. Cool playing was the keynote of his success. He played his position smartly and acquitted himself well. We hope 'for some more players of Taylor's caliber. FRED LINDER fLower Centerj Linder played his third season as a regular at fullback. Although never seeming to hit his stride, he played a fighting, driving game and always gave his best. He will be missed for his sterling qualities as a player and a man. We hate very much to lose Fred after three seasons of conscientious work. SPERO Cosms fLower Rightj Spero made the regular quarterback position in his second year out for football. He ran the team in a heady, determined fashion and his individual playing was brilliant and depend- able. SpriggieH was a sub for about half a game at the opening of the season, but after he had a chance to show Wares he WHS 3 regular for keeps. RAYMOND CLEMENS Raymond played in hard luck this year as an injury kept him from much practice near the starting of the season. He is one of our best backs, one of the best passers on the team, and hardest runners. He should be a mainstay on next year's team. 2'2'2'2f CANTON IAN Q if im Bossa TQN AN ea-ee Page 86 ROLLA MCMULLIN fUpper Leftj Rolla was one of our best substitutes in the line. He could be depended upon to fill up at guard or tackle with the finish of a star. Muck was too good to sit on the bench, and the coach used him a great deal at tackle and guard. He will be back for one more year. FRANCIS VANDERMEER fUpper Rightj Vandy, a Junior, made good at tackle. His size, strength, and fight made him a had place for opponents to aim their plays. Francis is one of the best prospective tackles we,ve ever had, and next year he should make our opponents scatter in all directions when they aim their plays at his side of the line. CHARLES PUTMAN fLeft Centerj Chuck played a lot at fullback in his first year out for football. He was one of the' best ground-gainers on the squad and should do better with more experience. Next year he should carry Canton's colors over many an opponent's line. MAURICE BRASEL fRight Centerj Another Senior, Brasel, played a stellar game at center. For size and strength wack couldn't be beat. He has been out for football four years but didn't blossom into a regular until this season. Jack was a good man to have in the middle of the line. PAUL SMITH fLower Lefty '!DubU was our first substitute quarter and a better one couldn't be found. He was ready to step in and Fill the breach at any time. He liked to 'lmix it up in a 'football game and always had plenty of pep and Fight. He'll be missed from next year's eleven, as he is another Senior. ED BARRON QLower Righty Ed, our captain-elect, was one of the best ends in the state. He played a hard, steady game at all times. At the close of the season we were happy to find that Barron had made the Big Nine All-Conference honor team at the position of end. We feel secure in having him back next year to have a good man to build the team around. FRED KIRKHUFF Kirk was one of the boys who liked to get in there and muss ,em up. He was a hard, sure tackler and that was his main forte. He broke up many plays and was always down first under punts. Kirk will be missed next year from the eleven. lVIERL1N FELDNER Coming out for the first time, in his Junior year, Feldner made the team after he had had a little practice and experience. He is one of the boys welre glad we have with. us next year. He is one of the hardest hitting line plungers Canton has ever had and is an excellent all- around player. EM CANTON IAN W 2929 TON AN ef-ef Page 88 GORDON MCGRAW QUpper Leftj Gordon is a Senior and will be missed as much as any man on the eleven. He was always on the line ready for a fight. He was one of the best tacklers on the squad and one df the fastest men. HENRY MICHAEL fUpper Righty Henry, a Senior, was the sub center. He didn't get into many games but when he did, he fought hard and showed he could fill the position successfully. Henry could have stepped in at any time and filled the position efficiently. This was his second year out for football. RoY PSCHIRRER fRight Centerj :'Tuffy played a lot near the end of the season at end. Although it was his first year, and he was a Senior, he came forward with a lot of fight and ability. He is fast as well as big, and covers a great deal of ground in a football suit. FRANK SEPICH fCenterj Dependable and our best passer, Franky played a lot at halfback. He will be back next year and should be outstanding. His speed is his most valuable asset and as an open field runner his speed is hard to surpass. Otis Sr. CLAIR fLower Leftj Only a Sophomore, he should develop into a good back. Otis has been out two years and near the last of this year got his chance with the reserves and showed a great deal of speed and determination. We should hear more 'from him next year. GLEN RILEY fLower Righty A tall, 170-pound Freshman, Rip', should develop into a star guard or tackle with only a little experience. Near the last of the year Glen showed the boys some hard, clean tackling, and how to drive on offense. JOHN HOULDSWORTH John came out for football for the first time this year, his Junior year. He played nearly all of the time as a regular on the reserve eleven. He is big, fast, and strong enough to make a regular position next year, His position is at tackle or guard. WILLIS CULTON Culton, a Junior, came out for football for the first time this year. He is able to give a good account of himself both on offense and defense and should make the competition keen for a regular position next year. 2'2'2'2f CAN TON IAN Q QUE it SWB- CANTON IAN QQ-S2 Page 90 2'2'2'2f CANTON IAN Q24 BASKETBALL 119 0753 2222 TONIAN 222 Page 92 IQ30-31 BASKETBALL SEASON Our C. H. S. varsity basket performers were as good as any other club we have had in recent years. A slump in tournament time, however, and the best of clubs is likely to get bumped off. The team was well-balanced and had no outstanding scorer. We won our first two games handily but came up against a tartar in Greensburg, Indiana. The team then hit an invincible stride and won five games in a row: Crane Tech, Burgettstown, Pa., Plainsfield, Ind., Macomb, and Rock Island. The next game with Galesburg found our club unable to get going, and we suffered a 12 to 3 defeat. Following that beating we hit our stride again and conquered Geneseo, Pekin, Princeton, and were bested by Streator after a hard game with Princeton. Then we met Galesburg again. The game was 15 to 13 after a close conflict. After this we really played the basketball we were capable of and won seven games straight: Peoria Central, Mooseheart, Streator, Monmouth, Peoria Manual, Moline, and East Moline. Pekin then gave us a decisive defeat, but we came back again to best Peoria Central and Kewanee. After Peoria Manual evened up their series with us, we prepared for the District Tournament. Everyone knows how Farmington beat us. In the regular season we won 19 games and lost 6, while making 477 points to our opponent's 392. Our leading scorers were Linder with 102 and McGraw with 96. we ANTONIAN we RESERVE SQUAD Our second squad was composed of Mettler, R. McMullen, Putman, Pilcher, Cardosi, F. Sepich, Clemens, Barron, M. Taylor, Tink, and S. Phillips. The team won all of its games except those with older players from the Y. M. C. A. league, All of these players are Sophomores and Juniors and, like last year's reserve club, should develop into varsity material next season. Chadd used no regular line-up but used all of his reserves in order to develop them. The second team is an excellent feature of basketball and was initiated by Coach Chadd. Mettler, at forward, was the leading scorer, while Clemens and Bosco Taylor seemed to be the shining lights on the court. We should have a large team from these boys as Putman, Pilcher, Cardosi, Clemens. Barron, and M. Taylor possess enough height and weight, not to mention speed, to cause a lot of trouble with our next year,s opponents. O'f the reserve squad Pilcher, Cardosi, Tinlc, and S. Phillips are sophomores.

We are proud of him and his team. Fred showed a marked improvement in his basket shooting, and his guard- ing was always scrappy. Fred did his best playing near the end of the season and came through mightily in every right place. Anyone who saw the Kewanee game will never forget his spectacular shot in the last minute of play. GERALD WILSON fUpper Right, Jerry made the team late in the season and immediately showed his right to remain. He was cool and a good ball handler. Wilson had a keen eye for the hoop and handled himself well, and fit nicely into the team with only one year's experience. Gerald was one of the best passers on the team and best dribblers. He was a difhcult lad to take the ball away from and was adept at batting the ball into the basket after a miss. FRANCIS VANDERMEER fCenterl Vandy,' came through in a big way near the last of the season. He has another year and should star for C. H. S. His playing was much better toward the close of the season when he proved a real asset to the team. He looked and acted and was a real star after he found how to handle himself. Weire looking 'for him to be the real mainstay on our next year's team, and we're sure we won't be disappointed. FRANK OiBRIEN QLower Leftj Frank held his position as guard on the first team with great consistency. He is a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. His shooting was very accurate during the whole season. He was continually striving for the betterment of the team and trained most consistently. Frank was the most steady player on the team and his generalship will be missed. He starred in the Cuba, Burgettstown, Manual, Galesburg, Pekin, Macomb, and Streator games. GORDON MCGRAW fLower Rightj McGraw was always depended upon for a few points during each game. He had the honor of being high point man in several games. His speed was his greatest asset in penetrat- ing the defense of the opposing team. Mickv led the team in scoring most of the season and, along with O,Brien, was our field general. He starred in the Crane Tech, Rock Island, Geneseo, Princeton, Central, and Moline games. Gordon is a Senior and has been on the squad four years. BW? CANTON IAN Q if ist Aw ANTO IA Page 96 CHARLES PUTMAN fUpper Leftl Chucky gave a very commendable performance as forward in several games. He is a Junior this year and shows great promise for next year's varsity squad. Chuck will be a valuable man on the team in the ensuing season because of his height and speed. He has a keen eye 'for the basket and is always on his toes. FRED KIRK:-IUFF fUpper Righty A forward, and a Senior, Kirk was able to step in and go at any time. Kirk could hit the hoop from any angle. He was one of the shiftiest men in the squad and one of the hardest to guard. He is a clever dribbler. His absence from the basketball ranks will be much missed next year. ROY PSCHIRRER fCenterj Tuffy was our reserve center and also played much of the time at forward. Roy had a good eye for the basket and showed up well on the offense. He fought hard and deserves credit for his contribution to the squad. Roy fights it up all of the time and handles himself well on the floor. He is a Senior. PAUL SMITH fLower Leftj Dub got into the line-up too late, but he showed up a lot while he was there. He came up from the ranks near the end of the season and readily won a name for himself as a sure shot and a lightning dribbler. 'QDub was one of the slipperiest players we,ve seen and his accurate passing also was enough to gain him a place on the team. He is one of our seven Seniors. EDWARD BARRON fLower Rightj Ed is another of the boys whom we are expecting big things of next year. He should make a guard position. He could be depended upon to get his man and also for a couple of baskets. His size and activeness made it tough for his opponents. His breaking for the basket is opportune and clever, and we're hoping he keeps it up. Vmou. PILCHER Virgil is a Sophomore and this is his second year out for basketball. He played most of the games with the reserves and should be a valuable asset to next year's team. He is tall and rangy and should pick up weight and speed during the summer. ww CANTON IAN W ww ANTQNIAN W Page 98 ROLLA MCMULLEN fUpper Leftj Rolla didn't play much on the varsity but showed up well with the seconds. He has another year to compete. Muck,' can shoot those side shots in a couple of times every game and follows the ball with success. DoN Carzoosi fUpper Rightj This Sophomore should come through in a stellar fashion during the rest df his career. He can shoot, run, and dribble with the best of them. He is a hard fighter and never gives up. RAYMOND CLEMENS QLower Leftj A Junior, Clem should make the varsity next year and be an important player at guard. Clem is fast and has plenty of fight. He is a good shot and an excellent dribbler. ELMER METTLER fLower Right, Elmer will be back next year and his showing with the seconds shows that he will be an important cog in the machine next year. He can be relied upon to score some points in every game. He is hard to guard and a good team player. FRANK SEPICH Frank is a good shot, a good defensive player and fast in breaking down that floor. He is a Jnuior and if he develops as much next year as he did this, he should make things tough for some of the varsity aspirants. MELVIN TAYLOR Melvin made a regular on the reserves in the last part of the season and starred in almost all the succeeding games. His main stand is under the basket where he tosses in a number of baskets with consistency. He has another year to play and should come close to a varsity position next year. JOHN TINK Tink is a Sophomore who has already had one year's experience on the squad. He is light on his feet and handles the ball nicely. He should come through in his next two years. SPENCER PHILLIPS Another Sophomore, Phillips, should be an important cog on next year,s squad. He is cool and has plenty of fight and showed up well in the reserve games he played in. 2'2'2'2f CANTON IAN M-S we ANTONIAN sw Page 100 1930 BASEBALL SEASON As a whole the baseball season was a success, considering the fact that it was the first year for several years that Canton has had a baseball team. The untiring efforts of Coach Chadd to perfect the style of the players are also to be commended. The team was composed of Ray Whites, catcher, Fred Kirkhuff, first baseg Willard Fisher, second base, Harold Vaughn, short stopg Gerald Wilson, third base, Dominic Vianno, left fieldg Fred Linder, center field, Elmer Mettler, right field, and Frank O'Brien and Frank Sepich, pitchers. Joe Sepich was a catcher and also coached first base. The team hung up a good record against the classiest opposition in this section. Peoria Manual is the only team with two victories against Canton. Some of the teams Canton com- peted against are Peoria Manual, Peoria Central, Spalding Institute of Peoria, Streator, Prairie City, and Ipava. Linder and Mettler had the best batting averages, followed closely by Kirlchulf. The team developed wonderfully in one year of baseball for an absolutely green outfit, and a great deal of credit must be given to Mr. Chadd. Ray Whites, our captain-elect, was adjudged to have played professional baseball during the summer vacation, and is therefore ineligible for this year's team. This is a great loss as Whites was one of the best men on the team. The prospects for next year's team are good, as Canton only lost four members of the team by graduation. BW? AN TON IAN 'MM 1930 TRACK SEASON The C. H. S. tracksters had, on the whole, a successful season, winning two dual meets, losing one and placing second in the Fulton County meet. Lack of a suitable track upon which to practice has always handicapped our track teams, but a new cinder oval is now at their disposal which should create considerable interest and bring out some new material. Our big stars were Pschirrer in the pole vault, Barclay in the hurdles, Burgess and Paul Smith in the half mile, Brasel in the weights, and McGraw in the dashes. Harry Smith, Minor Schenck, Laurel Blakely, Don Cardosi, and James Parrish were the other point winners. Albert Pschirrer, Roy Pschirrer and Barclay were the only locals to place in the fast field at the Big Nine meet held at Rock Island. At the Fulton County Meet, Albert Pschirrer set a new record in the pole vault which will probably stand an assault of several years. He went 11 feet 6M inches to break the old record by SH inches. Other men to give a good account of themselves in this meet were Bob Moore in the mile, Chet Burgess in the half mile, Harry Smith in the 220, Laurel Blakely in the relay, and Wilfred Barclay in the hurdles. The prospects for the l3l season are exceptionally bright with most of the squad back and some promising new material available. The team was coached by Clarence Trimner and is recognized as one of the best the school has put out. Page 101 B'B'2'3r C TQN IAN ees Page 102 TENNIS TEAM The 1930 Tennis Club started a very successful year by winning the County Tournament at Lewistown. They kept this splendid record going by defeating the Pekin racqueteers by a margin of one. This started the enthusiasm that was kept up all through the season. Canton played many dual matches with neighboring cities and usually came out on top. A little later on in the year the team Went to the District Tournament held at Moline and copped the victories with little difficulty. In the State Tournament they were afforded some real competi- tion and did not place. However, the Canton Club is only two years old and shows signs of having exceptionally good material for future years. There were six men composing the '30 tennis squad. They were: Captain Chester Eddy, Wright Phillips, Bernard Maxwell, George Mills, Robert Lacey, and Edward Barron. Chet and Wright, our two veteran players, have set great examples for their less experienced racquet swingers. The school was always sure of winning matches when these fellows were playing. Edward Barron, Bernard Maxwell, and Robert Lacey are our ndoublesn men. They have, throughout the year, displayed great tennis ability. We expect them to be three great pillars in the 1931 squad. The club regrets the loss of one of its steady and dependable players, George Mills. George was always prepared to give a strong offense to any opponent.

The grand Prom on May 23, 1929 saw a majority of the upper-classmen at the Elks Building at 6:30 oiclock sharp. Here both the dining hall and ball room were decorated in a futuristic scheme. The tables were made brilliant by beautiful bouquets of cut Howers. Favors and dance programs were at every place. The usual outline of short talks, -songs, and dances occupied the evening. Q'Chuck Webster's orchestra provided music for the grand ball that followed the banquet, as well as entertaining during the dinner. At the intermission exhibition toe-dancing was given by Miss Gorgette Werner's pupils. Dancing was resumed until late in the evening. The committees in charge were: DECORATING PROGRAM INvI'rA'r1oN Stephen Wright Theo Downs Bernard Maxwell Charlene Ortman Grace McCormick Harry Baxter Elizabeth Ann Putman Nelson Ross Eleanor Brown Homer Fouts Charlotte Sebree Robert Lacey Hazel Eshelman Gerald Wilson John Coleman Grace Meier Lula Willstead Ray Whites George Mills Dorothy Lee Harris The other big event, the Senior-Junior Party, took place in the old gymnasium on November 7. Instead of the usual costume party, it was an informal dance. The interior of the gym was artistically decorated in modernistic canopies and was arranged to represent a hotel lobby. The wonder orchestra, located on a high platform, provided music for the dancers. Cider was served continuously all evening by efficient waiters. At the intermission a mixed program was presented. When the familiar strains of Home Sweet Home sounded at about ll o'cloclc, the group broke up. Page 103 ww TONIAN saga Page 104 OPENING AT C. H. S. SEPTEMBER 7, 1927 Cordellis 4-Ring Circus-Ring-Master-F. C. Coons Animal Trainers.-Teachers of C. H. S. ON WITH THE SHOW The ring master cracked his whip and into the First ring swarmed three hundred green little Freshies. Through frightened eyes, they looked beyond into the larger rings where they saw the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors putting on their acts. Quickly falling into their new environment, some of the most outstanding performers easily gained fame on the Honor Roll. Soon we saw them scattering into the many side shows. The G. A. A. and G. R. aroused the interest of the girls who staunchly supported them. Not to be outdone, the boys flocked to the Hi-Y, and willingly did their share in athletics. Later they issued their First circus pamphlet. 'lThe Pennantv surprised the onlookers under the brilliant direction of Marcella Dawson, editor-in-chief, with Robert Graham and Charlene Ortman, assistant editors. just then the band, whose roll contained a large number of Freshman names, began to play as the greater part of the Freshmen went into the next ring which was left vacant by the old troupers. In ring '29, as Sophomores, more honors came to them. Linder and McGraw were valuable assistants in basketball and football. A high degree of interest was maintained in all the side shows. Soon carrying high the Banner of Honor, they march into their new ring of 30. With noble purpose, they organize calling themselves juniors, and they selected John Snively as their ring conductor and Bernard Maxwell as his helper. John Coleman was treasurer and Charlotte Sebree, secretary. They decorated their ring in royal blue and scarlet. This motto fioated on high: An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of clevernessf, Honor Roll mention was given many of the star performers. The success of the A. L. M. A. and Glee Clubs was to a great extent due to the support of the Juniors. Lee Morrell, Bernard Maxwell, and Carl Olson represented the Juniors on the Debating team. The Quill and Scroll drew a large per- centage of its members from the Junior Ring. Thus far the circus has been a paying proposi- tion, having taken in 'from one side show alone 5130, namely, their benefit show, Halfway to Heaven. Our amateur performers now find themselves in the highest ring, and they reorganize for their crowning exhibition. Stephen Wright was the president of Ring '31g John Snively, vice- presidentg Marcella Dawson, secretary, Eleanor Brown, treasurer. In this ring the clowns did their most effective work in the Senior Boys' Chorus and Burlesque. For the enjoyment of the Juniors, the Senior performers gave a party between acts. Frank O,Brien, Fred Linder, Gordon McGraw, G. Wilson, F. Kirkhoff, Dub Smith, and Roy Pschirrer are among those leaving us this year and will be greatly missed by the cage fans. So in their gray caps and gowns, the Senior performers gather together for the last time in a Grand Finale, their husky young voices blending in that beautiful song- When You Come to the End of the Day? 222-9 TQN IAN ea-ee SENIOR CLASS PLAY A delightful comedy of American life, Kempy, written by C. Nugent and Elliot Nugent, was chosen as the Senior Class Play. It takes place in the living room of Dad Bence's home in a small town in New Jersey, sixty miles from New York. Kate, Dad's second daughter, who yearns 'for an artistic career, has written a book. Although it is not successful, her rich and devoted admirer, Duke Merrill, publishes the book, making her believe that it was at least good enough to be pub- lished, Duke tries to persuade her to give up her latest ambition of playing in a musical comedy. They quarrel and as Duke leaves, Kempy, a plumber and aspiring architect, enters with Ruth. He has been employed to fix the water pipe in the kitchen. Kempy,' has read Kate's book and Ruth urges him to tell Kate the same thing he has just told her. He stammers around but Finally tells her that when he read that book, he determined to marry the girl who wrote it. Dad,' Bence. . . Ma', Bence .. Jane Wade .... Ben Wade. . . Kate Bence, . .

The upper classmen were quickly impressed by our skill in all high school activities. The Hi-Y, the Girl Reserves, the G. A. A., the Band, boys, and girls' glee clubs, and the orchestra were ably supported by las we were termed by the upper classmenl those little green pests. The boys who readily responded to the call of all Freshmen in sportsl' were: Clemens, Barron, Mettler, F, Sepich, G. and R. McMuIlin for football: and Barron, Vandermeer, and Clemens for basketball, The Freshmen issue of the Pennant was our first literary attempt, and it fairly sparkled with ability. Thelma Danner was editor-in-chief of the paper, and Mary Elizabeth Churchill was assistant editor. More honors for the class of '32 opened our Sophomore year, All organizations were simply swelled with us. Mary E. Churchill was elected Secretary of the Noon Hour Corps of the Girl Reserves. Again the McMullin brothers, Clemens, Mettler, Barron and F. Sepich appeared on the football Held. And how proud we were when Vandermeer made the first five in basketball. Clemens was a valuable Q'sub in basketball. Charles Putman belonged to the relay team. Laurel Blakely went out for track. Mettler and Sepich represented us in baseball, while Barron was our star in tennis. Another thing we had to be proud of was that Jimmy Wilhoit was selected as assistant cheer leader. And a real one he is tool Entering school once more as full-fledged juniors, we organized our class. Yellow and white were selected as our class colors, while the motto chosen was: :'Life is an accomplishment, h0t a mere existencefl The following oflicers were elected: President ....,. .,.... ...... C H ARLES PUTMAN Vice-President ,... .,...... F RANCIS VANDERMEER Secretary .....,. ..,. M ELBA DEAN CAMPBELL Tieasurer ........,....,....,......,.,.. .,.,..,.,... T HELMA DANNER In football Putman, Barron, the McMullins, Clemens, F. and E. Sepich, Mettler, Feldner, Vander- meer, Houldsworth, Culton, and Taylor helped give Canton one of the best records in years. Again Vandermeer was center on the regular basketball team. Others who represented the class on the basketball court were: Taylor, Putnam, Barron, Mettler, R. McMullin, F. Sepich, and Clemens. All organizations were supported by the class of 32. In the newly organized dramatic club, Le Masque d'Or, such a great interest was shown that several juniors took part in the plays presented by that club. Alma Allen was Secretary of the Noon Hour Corps of the Girl Reserves, and Flotis Hatter was made Treasurer. Mary Kay Daily was chosen Treasurer of the Be Square Corps. Elaine Gustine was Vice-President of the G. A. A., while Mildred Irwin was secretary. Mary E. Nelson was Secretary of the A. L. M. A. Elaine Gustine was also Vice-President of the French Club. The Latin Club was composed almost entirely of juniors. In Hi-Y Charles Putman was President, Willard Knott, Treasurer, and Edward Barron, Secretary. For the second semester, Edward Barron was elected Vice-President. The band and orchestra, too, boasted a number of our members. This year Jimmy Wilhoit was chief cheer leader, while he chose Douglas Peters as one of his assistants. Later, our class presented a benefit show. The great social event of the year was in May when the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Annual Junior-Senior Reception. Thus ends the first three years of our glorious adventure, 'Ray for the class of '32. 2-2-2-9 ANTON AN ea-ee isi SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Hello, hello! Central? Hello!

Page 109 EM AN TON AN W Page 110 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September the sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, was assembled for the first time the class of '33, numbering about two hundred and fifty students. Many curious upper classmen peeked into the Assembly hall to see the novices and were rather taken aback at the surprising amount of knowledge visible on most of the faces. The teachers, too, found in a short time that these were not the average Freshmen. When the Honor Roll was published, it gave further proof of the fact. All of the organizations-the Glee Clubs, Orchestra, Band, A. L. M. A., Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and G. A. A.-- were greatly increased by the new students who readily responded to all invitations to join. The semester examinations were passed with Hying colors by a splendid majority. By that time we were highly respected members of Canton High. We were really grown up and acted it, too. We do not wish to praise ourselves too highly, but it was remarkable! Most Freshmen act young and kiddish, but not so the class of '33, We were an example for the Seniors themselves! We were well represented in sports. When Coach Chadd blew the whistle out on the football field, Don Cardosi, Spero Costas, Eldon Clark, and others snapped into formation. When the gridiron was blanketed with snow, active attention was turned to the hardwood. The Freshmen who turned out for this, the favorite of sports here, were the following: Virgil Pilcher, John Tink, Don Cardosi, Spero Costas, Spencer Phillips, and Merle Snider. Then with Spring, came Track. Only three Freshmen boys enlisted under Coach Trimmer. Margaret Wilson was the only member of our class to compete in the musical contest held to choose a delegate for the County Meet at Lewistown. On May the fourteenth, the annual Freshman Pennant was successfully published with Jane Putman as Editor-in-chief and Charles Perkins as Assistant Editor. After an all-too-short summer vacation, most of us came back in September, nineteen hundred and thirty, to begin again the pleasant QU task of studying and of increasing our store of knowledge under the excellent tutelage of our teachers. Mr. Benbow, who is our brand new Agricultural teacher, has organized an Ag Club, which was amply supported by the Sophomores. Merle Snider, Bernard Bain, Gilbert Stein, Roy Hollandsworth, and Harold Lowe are our Sophomore members. Merle Snider is the Secretary. The Sophomore girls made up a large part of the Girl Reserve ranks. Virginia Brown was elected Secretary of the Be Square Girl Reserves. Robert Stafiiebach was chosen to be one of our three cheer leaders, and we were very proud of him. Coach Chadd's athletic aspirants again reported for football and basketball. In the former sport the most outstanding players were Spero Costas and Don Cardosi. Spero played in many games as a quarter- back, and Don is a promising end. We expect to hear a great deal from them later. Among those prominent in the latter activity were Virgil Pilcher, Don Cardosi, and John Tink. But the Sophomores did not forget the Honor Roll in their enthusiasm for athletics. The Sophomore Roll often outnumbered those of the other classes. The next year or two will see great accomplishments, we hope. We Sophomores will be Junior and Senior class officers, members of the Cantonian Staff, and A. L. M. A. officers-everything, in fact, that seems now to be most desirable. 9999 CANTON AN was SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Class of '31, realizing that our days as students of C, H.

It is neither a biped, triped, quadruped, or any other ,ped as its lower extremities stop at its stomach. The only difference in the manners of a snake and of a person is that while a person sticks his tongue out at you, the snake sticks his tongue in you. Every so often the snake gets too big for himself so instead of reducing, as people do, he leaves his skin and gets a new one. He doesn,t go to a hospital to do this, either. He just coughs up his tail and pulls it out through his mouth and then keeps pulling. Pretty soon there he is, turned inside out. fWe haven't learned yet how he gets himself turned right side out again.l There are many different kinds of snakes and some of these are very useful to mankind. Some snakes hold a rattle on one end so they can tell which way they're going. From this some one got the idea of putting a whistle on trains so they wouldn't get mixed up and start off in the wrong direction. Another kind of snake is the garter snake. He must be very important and there is evidently lots of them as nearly everyone wears garters any more. The milk snake is also important. Being much smaller than the cow, many more can be raised in a smaller pasture. If I ever find a milk snake, I'll go into the dairy business. Wilma Raker: Where did you get those big, tender, sympathetic eyes? O, replied her sailor boy friend, they came with my face. Mr. Felts: I take pleasure in giving you eighty-one in mathematics.
