HV! J 1 N a X' Wu J ' 3 X Q9 tj f , , x 974 HH HHIHH3 Of the three A's-Actors, Athletics, and Activities-probably the most sig- nificant one is the Actors. Included in the group is the Board of Education who diligently work to keep Canton High School up to par with the best of the high schools in Illinois. And a grand job they make of it too! Then there,s the Administration, so ably headed by Superintendent Ben Kietzman, Assistant Superintendent Alvin Felts, and Principal Oliver L. Rapp. Of course, about here, the ever- faithful faculty should be commended for their untiring efforts day in, day out to help us acquire the knowledge and ideals that we will carry with us, not only through our high school careers, but for the rest of our lives. For their patience and understanding, we are deeply indebted to them. Last, though not least, are the classes. The Freshmen - babies of the lot, sometimes referred to as greenies, but whatever they,re called, they,re still pretty swell. The Sophomores -just older fresh- men, a little wiser, we hope, and a lit- tle more experienced. They, too, are slightly terrific. And the Juniors-how mature they seem! Why shouldn't they? Look at that wonderful Prom they sponsored! Aren't they nice, too? Finally-the Seniors-all pomp, ser- iousness, and dignity CPPPJ . Aw, but honest, they aren't so bad. Really!- Well, 'nuff said. Now put ,em all together and what've you got? Why, the Actors! And don't you agree that through their co-ordinated efforts that this school year of 1945-46 is one that will long be remembered? llll 12 Mrs. Moneta Morgan Mr. Ben Kietzman, M.Ph., Superintendent North Central Collegeg University of Colo- radog Columbia Universityg University of Illinoisg University of Wisconsin Favorite Recreation-Travel Secretary to Mr. Kietzman Favorite Recreation-Reading and collect- ing records Oliver L.

Such has been Mr. Felts' position during the last four years and a half. He stepped into the breach when Uncle Samn called Mr. Rapp to the colors. It was a tough place to fill for the war complicated educational problems no end. That Mr. Felts met the test no one can doubt. Can- ton High has run along smoothly like a well oiled machine. Mr. Felts can turn the prin- cipalship back to Mr. Rapp with pride in a job well done. Congratulations and good luck, Mr. Felts! Mr. Fred C.

Thomasg and Secretary, Cameron Denham, the Board of Education is that unsung group of flve individuals who work so hard to keep our high school up to par. Although we have little opportunity to express our appre- ciation for their efforts to maintain Canton High School's standard as one of the best in Illinois, we want them to know that we are back of them and we do sincerely value the job they are doing. Mr. Lawrence W.

Under Miss Harrison's very capable direction, we put out another edition of the Cantonian which we think is the best yet. To President Gene Shaw and his helpers, Leonard Watson, Lavore Har- land, and Norma Van Winkle, the class owes a lot for some jobs well done and to the advisors, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Zeigler, we are thankful for their interest in us and our affairs. We chose lavender and white as our class colors and our motto is We build for character not for fame! That is our eventual goal. Since this is our last year, we'll all miss our teachers and the fun we've had through four wonderful years, but we can claim an Alma Mater to be proud of. Hurray for C.H.S. and the class of '46! E.

U61 THE CLASS OF 19747 For the first time this class inhabits roll rooms in the lower halls, a sign of upperclassdom. They are eligible for member- ship in the National Honor Society. This year, too, they will enjoy the first exciting experience of the Hop and the Prom. Dean 'Negley, Donna Oaks, Pat Gerhart, and John Wert- man make a Hne job of heading the class as its officers. The class of '47 boasts some fine athletes such as Frank Melgreen, Howard DeGroot, Dick Miller and Dick Menden- hall. Also there are many good musicians, journalists, and what have you. This brilliant class is under the advisorship of Miss Marjorie Anders and Mr. Glen Medus who did a really swell job of guiding their young charges through the intricacies of their Hrst Prom.

Tl-IE CLASS OF 1948 With one year of high school experience behind them and two years yet ahead of them, these Sophs are, you might say, in the middle of everything. For the first time they elected officers and took places in the roll rooms of the upper halls. The Sophomores show an enthusiastic yen for sports as well as other activities. LeRoy Oaks is the president of the class of '48 and he has the able assistance of the Vice-President, Don Eddy, the Secretary, Jeanine I-Iarterg and Treasurer, Larry Armstrong. Mr. Gentry and Mrs. Stutsman assist the officers with their progressive activities. As for outstanding athletes, this class has an unusual number of them. To enumerate a few: Bob Mace, Jack Pensinger, John Ellsworth, Bob Meacham, and many others well worth mention. The Sophomores have an abundance of intelligent people who should be prospects 'for the Quill and Scroll and the National Honor Society. Hail to the Sophs! L. OAKS D. EDDY j. HARTER L.

THANKS A MILLIONV The Cantonian staff and its advisor are ded- icating this space to Mr. Metzger and his draft- ing class who are responsible for the lettering on all the snapshot pages. Thanks a million, fellas. What We should have done Without you, we don't know. Tl-IE CLASS GF 1949 After eight long years of grade school, the underclassmen commonly known as Freshmen have attained their long sought goal, high school. To the upperclassmen they seem dumb and amusing, but really they are a brilliant lot. Fresh- man subjects are not the easiest things in the world to handle, but these underclassmen cope with them very Well. Since they have three years ahead of them, the Freshies are really the envy of the other classes. In che class of '49 there are a goodly number of future athletes who'll make the name of Canton High more famous in the realms of sportdom. So the best of luck to you, Fresh- men, and may your next three years be even more fun than your first successful year. 3:47 Back Row: D. Branchfield, J. Booth, L. Bowton, R. Bowton, D. Brown, B.

However, most students do belong to at least one organization, this one ranging all the way from the glee clubs to the honor societies, depending on the individual. There's really quite a variety of clubs. Just to mention a few, there are the language clubs, Le Circle Fran- caise for French enthusiasts, Junior Classical Society for Latin students, A.L.M.A. which gives us the oppor- tunity of attending all athletic, lic- erary, and musical events connected with the school for the lowest prices possible, the Pennant Staff, for all those aspiring to become famous cor- respondents and writers, the Camera Club, who manage to relieve us from classroom periods now and then, Quill and Scroll, and National Honor Society, those organizations whose members are chosen because of the scholarship record they have attained during their high school years. Then there are the G. R.'s, Be Square and Noon Hour, the Hi-Y's, all three chapters of 'em, Chapter A, Delta, and the newly organized Triangle Chapter. Of course, we can't forget F.F.A. which is for-well, as the name implies, Future Farmers of America, and the band and glee clubs for those musically inclined for otherwise, some- times, as the case might bell. There's the Cantonian staff and lucky are those Seniors chosen for it! Then, we must mention the Senior and Junior class plays, the annual amateur show, the Hop, Prom, the Football Festival -all things we look forward to during the year. A11 these activities-and we really oughta appreciate 'em! U51 56 Tl-IE A. I.. M. A. The Athletic, Literary and Music Association is one of the most useful organizations in Canton High School. Its purpose is to allow students to attend all football and basketball games, preliminary music and speech contests at a great savings. Many students have taken advantage of this opportunity. Member- ship in this association is determined by the attendance at the games and the purchase of an A.L.M.A. ticket. From the money received through the sale of these season tickets, the A.L.M.A. purchases equipment for the football and basketball teams and also compensates the oflicials for their services rendered at the game. The A.L.M.A. is capably led by Gordon Babcock, Presi- dent, Joanne Metcalfe, Vice-President, Barbara Mummert, Secretary, Louise Blakley, Treasurer. The school sincerely hopes this organization will have many more successful years. G. Babcock J. Metcalfe B. Mummert L.

TI-IE PENINIANT Oh, Joe was just reading the Pennant and he fell down stairs. Don't worry about it, it happens all the time- And that is a somewhat exaggerated example of the student interest in the paper. When the Pennant, a student publication for forty-five years, is issued every sub- scriber is immediately absorbed with everything from the news to Clem. A good reason for this interest is the write-ups by the newly organized Journalism class who handle most of the material. This class is under the direction of Miss Johnson, Pennant advisor, and the Pennant is hand-set in the school print shop under the direction of Mr. King. PENNANT STAFF What happened?

M r. King sag Barbara Mummcrt, Prom Queen Gene Shaw, Class President Tl-IE JUNICDR-SENIQI2 DRUM On the evening of May 2, at 8:30 P. M., Joe Kelton's orchestra struck up under a ceiling of pastel crepe paper strung to a may pole in the center of the floor. Leading the grand march was King', Gene Shaw and Queen Barbara Mummert, president and treasurer of the junior class, followed by Robert Kelly, president of the senior class and Pernila junell. Miss Anders and Mr. Medus, advisors for the junior class, were helped in making the prom a success by Mary Dell Noel, Lucile Kietzman, Louise Blakley, and Jacqueline Laney, chairmen of the vari- ous committees. In spite of gas rationing, many couples visited Peoria while quite a few had snacks at home, but hardly anyone got home until the wee hours of dawn. Everyone who attended the long-anticipated affair pronounced it simply super and the seniors sighed happily and began to look for- ward to the spring of '46 when they would be guests at the Prom and have nothing more to worry about but getting dolled up and in the line of the grand march by 8:30. mi Front Row: L.

Tl-IE SENIOR-JUNIOR I-IGP In the fall of 1915, the seniors entertained the juniors at a Hard Times Party in room 331. The success of the venture made the party an annual one. Its name was soon changed to the Hop , and The Hop has become the semi-informal occasion of the year. This fall it was held on November 16 at the Elks Club Ballroom. Peggy Weit- kamper and Gordon Babcock did a swell job as committee chairmen and with the help of Mrs. Helen Jenkins and Mr. Robert T. Zeigler as senior class advisors made this dance one to be remembered. Turner's orchestra furnished the swing and dancing feet of juniors and seniors gave the party the zing,' it needed, while from the sidelines faculty chaperons smiled benevolently at the Young'uns so thoroughly enjoying them- selves. Yes, indeed, it was a real affair and the memories of it will linger long in the minds of the folks who were there. Front Row: B. Dickey, W. Van Winkle, A. Maurice, R. McKinney, J. Schertz, P.

Tl-IE CAMERA CLUB The camera club was reorganized in September under the fine super- vision of Mr. Byran Gentry. Oilicers elected were as follows: President, Barbara Dickey, Vice-President, Dale Morse, Secretary, Morton Hut- ton, Treasurer, Leta Oaks. Camera Club members Were given instructions as to the operation of the projection machine. Frequently these people have willingly given up extra periods to operate the projector for certain classes. The movies shown were not only instructive, but entertaining. Our hats are off to this group of Workers and may they keep up their fine work which beneiits the students, the teachers and themselves.

TI-IE JUNIOR CLASSICAL SOCIETY This year the Latin Club has actually made itself one of the outstand- ing clubs in Canton High. This has come about through the fine work of Mrs. Helen Clark, the advisor, and the officers who are Barbara Dickey, President, Jerry Shryock, Vice-President, Jeanine Harter, Sec- retary, Pat Flahavin, Treasurer. I Meetings were held twice a month, during which plans for the club were made. The club has sponsored an annual Christmas party, a hay- rack ride, and several school dances. Phyllis Theime is, as last year, the Recording Secretary of the Inter- national Junior Classical Society, which is something for us to be proud of. Congratulations, members and advisor. Front Row: N.

HSCDLIND YGUR HORN The Senior Class Play, an outstanding feature of any year, was doubly so this year when the Senior Class presented Sound Your Horn before a packed house. The play centers around Christine Eliot, the owner of a hot dog stand, which was leased to her by Mrs. Beasely. Mrs. Van Dyke, the owner of the property on which the stand is located, and Mr. Angus, her attorney, attempt to put Christine off the ground. Ted, Mrs. Van Dyke's nephew, runs away from home, is hired by Christine, and promptly falls in love with her. After three amusing acts, the play ends happily for everyone concerned.

M., Monday, March 11, 1946. The place-high school assembly. Here we have the setting for C.H.S.'s ninth annual amateur show. Remember? With Leonard Watson as emcee presenting them, many talented performers from che student body gave forth with acts that were re- ceived with enthusiasm by the large audience attending. Prizes were awarded to the three top contestants determined by the audience's votes, with honors going to Dean Negley, who rendered piano selections which the audience felt entitled him to first place. Jean Raker received second prize for his accordion solos. Third prize went to a comedy act composed of Leo Watson, Gordon Westerfield, Jack Wolfe, and Wilbur Jarvis. Needless to say, of course, everyone had a lot of fun. TI-IE JUNIOR PLAY FESTIVAL As the Cantonian goes to press, practice for the annual Junior Play Festival is under way. The two plays, Three's a Crowdv and Jilted , are to be held in the Little Theatre, April 29. As usual, Mr. E. A. Snively is directing the activities. For Three's a Crowd the cast includes Don Maxwell, Phyllis Flowers, Jane McElroy, Gerald Williams, and Harold Pschirrer. For jilted , Betty Jo Hukill, Martha Soldwedel, Ted Hays, and Tom Duddy are starring. Without doubt the plays will be as suc- cessful as those in the past have been. TI-IE DISTRICT SPEECH CONTEST A Message From Khufuv, a dramatic play under the direction of E. A. Snively, was entered in the annual district speech contest, one-act play division, at Macomb on March 23. The action of the play has to do with four men who come to death grips over the possession of a priceless emerald which they take from the hand of an ancient Egyptian monarch, buried for centuries in a tomb at the bottom of the pyramids. One alone escapes death. The cast included Jerry Shryock, Gene Shaw, Phil Watt, and Gerald Williams. These boys should be commended for their excellent work in the play. 67 1 N 6 8 TI-IE I-II-V CLUBS Top-Delta Chapter Center-Triangle Chapter Bottom--Alpha Chapter Tl-IE HI-V CLUBS Our school should be justly proud of the three fine chapters of Hi-Y, Alpha Chapter, Delta Chapter, and the new Triangle Chapter. This year their youth conference at Galesburg was well attended by the three chapters. In the Hi-Y's platform of clean speech, clean living, clean sportsmanship, and clean scholarship, there is a worthy purpose. The members of the three clubs try hard to live up to their platform. Alpha Chapter of Hi-Y holds their meetings the second and fourth Mondays, Delta Chapter holds theirs on the first and third Mondays, and the Triangle Chapter holds theirs on first and third Thursdays. All three meet at the Y.M.C.A. Dances, stag dinners, Christmas baskets, refreshments after meetings, these are just a few of the things done by the Hi-Y's and there are many other activities that are being planned. Under the three capable supervisors and the officers, the Hi-Y's are rising for a trophy awarded at the close of the year. Awards will be based on points for different activities, attendance, etc. Each chapter has said it was going to win the prize. The Hi-Y is an important group in school and out. Through dif- ferent Conferences they spread the fame of their school throughout che state. Hi-Y officers are: Alpha Chapter-President, Marion Bordner, Vice-President, Carroll Ludlum, Secretary, Dean Carson, Treasurer, Gene Shaw, Advisor, W. J. Metzger. Delta Chapter-President, Leonard Watson, Vice-President, Tom Duddy, Secretary, LeRoy Oaks, Treas- urer, Leo Watson, Advisor, Albert Millington. Triangle Chapter- President, Jerry Conner, Vice-President, Jack Ballard, Secretary, Chris Potesanos, Treasurer, Earl Loring, Jr., Advisor, Rex Jewell. J69 Tl-IE GIRL RESERVE CLUBS s The Noon Hour Girl Reserves was founded nearly twenty years ago for girls living a long distance from school. Membership of this branch of Girl Reserves has reached the present quota of sixty. Every Wednes- day noon, these girls have a combination luncheon and business meeting which usually ends with entertainment. Besides its own varied interests, the club aids by giving toward the Y budget and the World Fellow- ship fund. For several years it has also given a subscription of Good Housekeeping to the HY . The Noon Hour Girl Reserves is the only club of its kind and has served its purpose well. The Noon Hour Girl Reserve officers for 1945-46 are: President, Jacqueline Laney, Vice- President, Joan Defordg Secretary, Phyllis Greer, Treasurer, Audrey Beebeg Advisors, Phyllis Blakley and Mary Helen Jackson. The auspicious record of the Be Square Girl Reserves dates from 1921, when each class formed its own individual club. Much credit is due to the young girls of that period for the time, money, and thought spent towards building G. R. up to its present standards. Eventually these were combined into two groups, the Junior Be Square, composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, and che Senior Be Square, that of Juniors and Seniors. Two years ago they were finally united into one organiza- tion, the Be Square Girl Reserves. The first and third Thursdays of each month are noted for the clubs' business meetings, programs, and parties held at the Y.W.C.A., of which G. R. is a branch. Some of the activities include Penny Pot Lucks, and the Spring Frolic. All high school girls are eligible for membership. Officers of the Be Square Girl Reserves are: President, Norma Van Winkleg Vice-President, Yvonne Larson, Treas- urer, Nancy Nelson, Secretary, Kathryn Snell, Advisors, Misses Bette Anderson, Marilyn Ash, Ruth Russell, Rosie Clark, and Jessie Butler. Girls who live up to Girl Reserve ideals will have fuller, richer lives, giving more to their country when womanhood is reached. 71 l l 72 Front Row: R. Oatman, D. Quick, E. Reinholtz, D.

Tl-IE FUTURE FARMERS CDF AMERICA The Canton chapter of Future Farmers of America, popularly known as the F.F.A., is one of the most beneficial associations in our Community. The practicability of the organization is shown by the need of agricul- turists in the post-war period. The boys initiated into this club are able to participate in the club's many activities. Among these are: business meetings, Father and Son banquets, weiner roasts, grain and poultry shows, and showing of exhibits at fairs. The officers of che F.F.A. are headed by their President, Floyd Stell. John Wertman, Gerald Denny, Ray Fengel, and Dean Negley are Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Reporter, respectively. The sixty-four members are under the able leadership of Mr. C. M. Stitzel. We, the school, take our hats off to these boys and wish them all the luck in the world. Front Row: M. Soldwedel, L.

THE 1945 HOMECCDMING With a blare of trumpets and a roll of drums the Football Home- coming Parade passed by! The High School Band was in the lead, followed by a light, blue convertible, in which the queens were riding. Bringing up the rear was the student body, waving banners and signs at spectators. At the field a massive snakedance was led by the cheerleaders with the queens, the band, and the students following. The festivity was somewhat saddened by Macomb's victory. Never- theless, a good time was had by all at the Homecoming dance, where the queen, Louise Blakley, was crowned by her attendants, Phoebe Myers, Barbara Vittum, and Cathryn Parlier. The plans for Homecoming were made by Chairman Duke Hense- ler with the aid of Charles Brown, Shirley Kaiser, and Carroll Ludlum, representing the Seniors, Ted Hays, Martha Soldwedel, and Phyllis Greer, representing the juniors, Leta Oaks, Don Eddy, and Kathryn Snell, rep- resenting the Sophomoresg Kathryn Gerhart, Eugene Taylor, and Dick Fouts, representing the Freshmen. The faculty advisors were Mr. Kling- man and Mr. Medus. So successful was the event that it was the talk of the school for days after. May we enjoy many more such Home- comings! 73 mi TI-IE MUSIC DIRECTOR MR. KETRIC KLINGMAN If you like to sing, you'll like it that much more under Mr. Klingman,s direction, if you don't like to sing, youill sing anyway under his direction ,cause you just can't help yourself. He puts his whole heart in it and brings out the canary in you in spite of yourself. His hobbies, we hear Cbesides music, of coursej, are garden- ing and his daughter, Ann. We think we,re lucky to have him with us. Stick around awhile longer, won't you, Mr. Klingman? TI-IE DRUM MAJCDR EARL LEONARD, JR. Tall, slender and definitely on the handsome side, our high-stepping drum major is the school's Beau Brummel as well as the band's drum major. Does he wear clothes well? But, yes! That suave air is what makes him so im- pressive as he steps out at the head of the band whether it's on parade or wheeling and turning in formation on the field. Yes, Leonard is really quite an asset and has a good deal to do with the snappy appearance of the Canton High School Band, pride and joy of every loyal C.H.S. stu- dent. Front Row: M. Soldwedel, Y.

Those high-stepping twirlers in their flashy blue and white and red and white uniforms add much color to our already colorful band. Majorettes for the year are Marjorie Brooks, Harriet Hale, Carol Johnson, Melva Maurice, Yvonne Larson, Phyllis Flowers, Pat Flavahin, Betty ,Io Hukill, Phoebe Myers and Martha Soldwedel. These girls should be congratulated on their Work because marching on a cold football field and twirling a colder baton is no easy feat. Long may you step, girls! 75 76 Row Row Row Row One: B.

With the aid of the snappy baton twirlers, the drum major, and the color bearers, the band performs at all home football and basketball games. Early in February, the County Band Festival is held in Canton with many county bands taking part. Playing at the Annual Band Concert and at certain holiday proceedings are just a few of the annual assignments of the band. For the first time in several years the band was invited by another city to take part in a musical affair. The city was Macomb and the affair, a college football game. It is hoped by all that invitations like this will, in the future, be numerous. The other active part of the department is the glee clubs which con- sist of the Freshman Glee Club, Advanced Girls, Mixed Chorus, and the Contest Girls' Glee Club. Under the careful direction of Mr. Klingman some of the best in glee club singing has been developed by each group. The activities of the glee clubs are as numerous as those of the Band. Many talented groups are sent by Mr. Klingman to the County Chorus Festival held in Lewistown. In the latter part of the year a concert is given by the glee clubs sponsored by the American Association of Uni- versity Women. One of the annual events in which the glee clubs take part is the singing of Christmas Carols at Christmas time in the band- stand in Jones Park. In March representatives from the Music department went to Peoria to take part in the district contests.

Canton High School without one of the finest basketball teams in the state? Without its top-notch football squad? Its track? Its baseball? Its G.A.A.? Archery Club? It's unheard of, isn't it? With such individuals as Coach Lar- son and Coach Metzger supervising boys' athletic activities and Miss Hoadley directing the girls, how can we help but be outstanding? We musn't forget the ever-faithful team managers and cheer leaders, with- out whose presence at football and basketball games there would be an almost certain loss, because they're the guys and gals behind the team. To the Athletic Department of Canton High School we say More Power to You! I831 Mr. Willard O. Larson Mr. William J. Metzger 841 TI-IE CCAC!-IES COACH LARSON Coach Larson has been coaching athletics for twenty-tWO years. He has spent nine of them at Canton High and has taken four basketball teams to the state tournament in that time. In addition to basketball Mr. Larson coaches base- ball and Freshman-Sophomore football. He likes to play golf and bowl during his leisure IIIITIC. COACH METZGER Mr. Metzger has been coaching for fifteen years and has coached football at Canton for four years. He takes football more seriously than most high school coaches and has greatly increased the interest in foot- ball here at Canton. Although the team didn't have much success this year, he is looking forward to a Win- ning combination next year. Since Mr. Metzger has been here, he has taken four track teams to the state meet. He is also coach of Junior Varsity basketball. When he is not coaching, he likes to hunt and fish. Front Row: B. Mace, J. Woods, B. Baugh, M. Bordner, P. Leek, G. Thomas, J. Ellsworth, R. Ball.

THE C CLUB The C Club is a new organization in the school this year. The purpose of the club is to support all school activities, promote better athletics, bolster school spirit and stop the students from wearing un- earned stripes and letters. This club is composed of boys who have earned a varsity letter in any major sport. Plans for the coming year have not been completed but you can expect to hear from this organization within the next year. The officers of the organization are: Phil Watt, President, Leonard Watson, Vice-President, Dick Lefebvre, Secretaryg Kenneth Owens, Treasurer. V85 86 Front Row: F. Mercer, B. Jewell, G. Westerheld.

Numerous are the other duties of these energetic boys.

Tl-IE CHEERLEADERS CEight Bellesl Our little cheerleaders deserve some honor for the wonderful Way in which they raised our morale when it was necessary, the past year. The able assistance of Mrs. Emma Oaks, whose coaching and splendid ideas inspired them, should also be noted. At every athletic event these eight spritely girls were present, offering an outlet for the spirit and enthusiasm of our good ole Canton High. Not once did a player leave the field of action without a cheer for his efforts-regardless of the outcome. Besides backing them one hundred per cent, the girls suc- cessfully encouraged good sportsmanship and acted as ambassadors of good will. Where could one ind eight livelier young ladies than Wanda, Bar- bara, Joan, Jeanie, Leta, Carol, Margo, and Audrey? Win or lose, our teams have been ably and loyally supported by them.

Larson's inex erienced Canton nine of last ear, turned in an P Y impressive record of seven wins against four losses last spring, including tournament plays. The Giants started out with a string of victories, which was halted momentarily when Grove and Oaks entered the Navy. Following this, the Plowboys dropped sev- eral hard fought games while the remaining team, mostly underclassmen, were being rearranged and seasoned. But in true Canton spirit, they soon became formidable again, the youngsters finishing the season with another string of wins. They were nosed out of the District finals by Manual, which they had previously trounced. However, with such brilliant young talent, Mr. Larson can expect great things of his '46 club.

TI-IE 1945 TRACK SEASGN Canton High's fleet-footed track men have loyally upheld the old school's tradi- tion of being first rank in everything they do. Under the able coaching of Mr. Metzger, the Canton speedsters whipped Peoria Manual, Woodruff, Galesburg, East Peoria, and Havana in dual meets. This team also took top honors at the Fulton County meet for the seventh consecutive year. They placed second in the Illini Con- ference and District meets to Hnish a very successful season. Four of our boys, Phil Watt, Joe Gumbel, Marion Bordner, and Leonard Watson, composing the relay team, competed in the state meet. Watson also ran the 100 and 220 yard dashes at the state.

THE 1945 FOOTBALL SEASON VARSITY ON THE GRIDIRON The varsity gridders of dear old Canton High thoroughly proved themselves to be a swell bunch of fellows and real scrappers. Though a small team, they were in there fighting every minute of play. Despite all the odds against them, this team drew the biggest football gate receipts in the school history and should be given a lot of credit. They played many of the best teams in the state and finished the season with three wins and six defeats. No account of the season would be complete without mention of Kenneth Owens, big six foot five inch, two hundred twelve pound tackle whose injury brought blight to the team's entire season. We take our hats off to Mr. Metzger for the hard work and headaches he encountered during the SCZSOII. FUTURE FOOTBALL H EROES If this year's showing is a true indication of their ability to play the game, many of these under- classmen will be blocking, tackling and running against varsity opposition next year. Some of these boys got to play a little varsity ball this year and should give a good account of them- selves in the future. Under the direction of Coach Larson this team was beaten only once during the season. This loss was their second game of the season. To the men on whom we depend for a good team next season, we say, Good luck and keep fighting.

This is Leonard's last year and his athletic ability will be missed next year. JOE GUMBEL: Joe was a mainstay of our squad this year. Ranking among the first in con- ference scoring, this is Joe's last year also, and it will be a job for someone to fill his shoes next year. MARION BORDNER: Marion, better known as Bottles or SWoose, has played his last game for Canton, too. However, this year his fleet feet piled up many yards for the team. We'll miss him next year, sure. DWAYNE GOUDY: Killer handled the quar- terback position expertly this year. As he's a senior this year, this hard-fighting field-general will be surely missed next year. NORMAN HOPPER: Norm played end again this year, and besides his stellar defense work, he snagged many a pass, too. His never-die spirit will be missed next season. ALAN EVANS: Al was one of our rugged pillars in the line again. As this is his last year, his fight and experience will be hard to replace next year. PHIL WATT: Phil also played his second year as a first string center. As he is a senior this year, his blocking and spirit will be missed next year. KENNETH OWENS: Kenny was a mainstay of the line this season, until an injury forced him to the sidelines for the latter part of the season. We'll miss you next year, Ken! DON COX: Don was one of our hard hitting ends this season and Was a standout at down field blocking and snagging passes. However, he's a senior so it's his last season for the purple and old gold. JIM WOODS: This was Wimpy's last of four years in football also. He saw quite a bit of ac- tion and his spirit will be missed next year. FRANK MELGREEN: Franky saw quite a lot of action this year in the line. He's only a junior, however, and his talents will be available next season. BILL BAUGH: Bill is a regular firecracker in the line, and he's a Whiz on both offense and de- fense. His years of varsity experience will come in mighty handy next year. DICK LEFEBVRE: Dick again showed the makings of a real football player this season. As he's only a junior, this speed demon will be back, too. Lots of luck, Dick! PAUL LEEK: Paul was another hard-blocking line man who was in the thick of the fray this year. You'll be a real asset next year, Paul. Good luck! DON WRIGHT: Don saw plenty of action in the backfield this year, and will be back with more of same next year. We're all for you, Don! JOHN ELLSWORTH: Johnny saw plenty of action at the fullback spot again this year. He's got two years left, and his fight and experience will sure be welcome the next two years, too. JACK PENSINGER: Jack saw lots of battle this year in the backfield. His running talents will be available for the next two years, also. So here's to you, Jack. GARY THOMAS: Gary saw plenty of action at the center post this year and will be counted on heavily next year. The best of luck to you, Gary! ROBERT MACE: Bob is another underclass- man who was in the thick of things a lot this season, too. The next two years should prove him a real scrapper on the gridiron. We're count- ing on you next season, Bob. VIRGIL TAYLOR: Big, husky Virgil was an- other underclassman Whose blocking bolstered our line this year. He's sure to see plenty of action next year. BILL MUNSON: Bill saw lots of action in the line this year, especially at end. His blocking and pass catching will be welcome in Canton next year. Good luck, Bill. ROBERT IZARD: Tut was another under- classman in the thick of things this year. With two more years he ought to make quite a name for himself in football. EUGENE GRUBAUGH: Gene proved him- self a real scrapper this year and in comparison ought to be quite an asset with two years left. Good luck, Gene! RAYMOND BALL: Buck saw lots of rugged action in our line this year, also. His big frame will put real punch in our line next year, plus experience. l91l , ,, 1 Front Row: H. DeGroot, J. Pensinger, K.

TI-IE 1945-46 BASKETBALL SEASON The Little Giants finished the season with a record of 17 wins and 14 losses. The team this year was handicapped by the inexperience of the players. Coach Larson started the season with four letter men and tried every combination possible to get a winning team. With the experience gained by the boys this year and with the team losing only one regular Canton can look forward to a very successful season next year.

G alesburg T921 TI-IE BASKETBALL LETTERMEN KENNETH OwENs: Ken Owens, a senior, captain of this year's squad, was especially valuable for his height and ex- perience. Ken's rebounding and his ability to hit the basket was the chief reason why he was feared by all op- ponents.. He was high scorer of the year and will be missed greatly when season comes around next year. BILL HESS: Bill is a junior who is known for his high one-handed arch shots. He is a fast, shifty man and can always be depended on to be in the center of things fighting for possession of the ball and messing up the opponents, plays. Bill returns next year and great things are expected of him during his senior year. JACK PENSINCER: jack is one of our sophomore boys who has played as a reg- ular on the team this year. He was brought up from the Frosh-Sophs team to the varsity because of his ability to hit the basket frequently, he is also an outstanding defensive player. Jack has two years ahead of him and should make one of the greatest basketball stars Can- ton has had in the past few years. Bois MEACHAM: Bob, another of the in- experienced fellows, played a great deal of ball throughout the season and proved himself to be a real player in spite of his age and inexperience. He should be one of our outstanding players in the next two seasons. JOHN ELLswoRTH: Johnnie, one of the younger men of the team, but never the less very valuable, gained lots of experi- ence this year and will, without doubt, be one of Canton's regulars next season. John will be remembered for his long dead-eye shots. A lot will be expected of him in the next two seasons. DICK MILLER! Dick developed greatly as the season progressed and became one of the mainstays of the team who could add that little extra spark to the team whenever it was needed. He is a junior and his improvement in rebounding and shooting should earn him a regular Cen- ter spot on next year,s team. FRANK MELGREEN: Although Frank was one of the smallest players on the team, he held down a regular forward position with admirable skill. He is a very good defensive man and has an excellent eye for the basket. He is the scrappiest mem- ber on the squad and will be expected to come thru next year when the chips are down. Good luck to you next year, Frank. . HOWARD DEGROOT: Although Howard played only infrequently, he displayed a fine spirit and a real love for the game. Since he returns next year for his final season, these two assets, coupled with his height, will make him a worthy opponent for any team to have. DICK MENDENHALL! Dick is a junior this year and will be back next year fight- ing for a regular position on the first team. Dick didn't see much action this year, but whenever he was called upon for service, he gave his best at all times. We expect to hear a lot from you next year, Dick, so keep fighting. l93l Front Row: B. Mace, B. Meacham, R. Ball, J. Ellsworth, B. Munson. Middle Row: I.. Oaks, B. Cook, D. Jones, C. Cardosi, R.

TI-IE FRESI-IMAN-SOPHGMOIQE BASKETBALL SQUAD Canton's Frosh-Soph team seems to be the coming pace makers for all basketball teams. Throughout their highly successful season the Fresh-Sophs lost only seven games and five of these were lost by two points. The team won ten games for the season, some of the wins over outstanding teams such as Monmouth, Manual, Taylor- ville, Galesburg, and Pekin. All the boys showed promise of being future stars and a few of them were moved up to the varsity before the year was up. If these boys keep up the good work, Can- ton's record of advancing to the Sweet Sixteen will probably be increased during their careers SCORES Canton 63 ......... ......, Le wistown Canton Lewistown Canton 56 ......i.. .......

TI-IE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association which was established in 1923, is to further athletic interests and activities in C. H. S. Through the services of our competent instructor, Miss Dorothy Hoadley, participants are enabled to raise their standards of health and sportsmanship. G.A.A.'s main function is concerned with the wide variety of sports afforded to its members. Tournaments of softball, archery, basketball, volley ball, badminton, bowling and basket shooting have proved very interesting throughout the year. However, the G.A.A. is not solely confined to athletics. It also has its social activities. A com- mittee formulates plans for a party each month. Events such as All-School Dance. Adamless Dance, Penny Carnival, Initiation Banquet and a Skating Party are examples of its quest for fun and frolic. This combination of social activities and sports has made it one of the outstanding organizations of C.H.S. Let's all say, Hurray, for G.A.A.! The officers of 1945-46 are as follows: President, Melva Maurice, Vice-President, Geraldine Santos, Treasurer, Vera Kingcade: Secretary, Rita Royerg Reporter, Lula Brown, Advisor, Miss Dorothy Hoadley.

He opens his mouth. What words of wisdom will he utter? What will he reveal? In the next few pages we try to put down an accurate translation of his now famous forecasts for Seniors QRe- duced Ratesj . A room of pink comes into view- it's the Blue Room in the White House, redecorated. A big reception for Gene Shaw, newly elected President on the Prohibition Party ticket, is in swing. Looking over the mob, we see familiar faces. Lavore Harland, private secre- tary of the President, is listening to Phil Watt, Secretary of the Atom Bomb Bureau, explain to Lloyd Stell, Secretary of Agriculture, the correct way to eat corn on the cob. Over in one corner is Harold Griffin, Secretary of State, impressing three congressmen from Illinois, Betty Girard, Clifford Phoebus, and Gordon Babcock with his greying hair, while June Schoon and Mary Simpson, wives of senators, swoon over Earl Leonard, directing the Army Band. As the music is pouring forth, John Smith, chief taxi driver in Washington, is discussing with Dorwin Hedden, telegraph boy, the possibility of making friends with Buddy Paul, director of the Mint. Paul and Virgil Garren, taking notes for the Congres- sional Record, are speaking to Marjorie Marshall, Congressional Librarian, about making Civics a whole year sub- ject for Illinois Seniors. Robertine Gilipin, head of the White House phones, carries one over to Bob Kinzer, Postmaster General, who is explaining the term wolf', to Junior Dorich, As- sistant Secretary of Agriculture, and charming Betty Haifner, consul to Mexico. At the side of the punch bowl are Orville Clark and Bob Clark, Supreme Court Justices, enjoying themselves. And naturally in the background are the very faithful Barbara Mummert and Arvelyn Welch, lady spies for the F. B. I. Of course, sprinkled through the crowd are such notables as Lt. Mary Dell Noel of the Navy Nurse Corps, recent winner of the good con- duct medal, Beverly Whyde Martin, wife of an Admiral, Nadine Stockman Branchfield whose husband is a Lt. Col. in the U. S. Army, Jean Bet- son and Forest Lea Smith, well known educators, and Winona Ball, Y.W.C.A. leader. Patty Miller, Peggy Dunniway, Gloria Booth, Pearl Messer, and Betty Anderson, all sailor's wives, are looking at Joe Gumbel, Tarzan's successor, who is flexing his biceps. Col. Ray Moore's wife, Betty Snell Moore, is asking Carolyn Ball how it feels to be married to Mr. Nice Man of 19S5, while Jack Oberholtzer, Commander of a Submarine, is telling cute Ro Jean Keller, Vice Admiral Baldock's wife, of his adventures at port. Lucile Kietzman, famous model, calls for attention to announce a thrill- ing football game to be played the next day at the Stadium in Rapatee, Illinois. Suddenly the scene shifts from the Pink Room to a stadium full of movie stars, models and interesting people from near-by towns. On the program are the names of the teams. Norman Hopper,s Happy Hoppers vs. Goudy's Galloping Gophers. A cheer goes up from Estella Schnell Hopper, cheer leader for the teams. In the stands are Kenny, Sunny Tufts , Owens, and Robert Little, movie star and rancher. A murmur of appreciation and a few howls go through the crowd as Eliza- beth Goulding, replica of Lucile Ball, enters with cover girls, Vivian Hick- f99l man, Jean Landis and Mary Lou Steck. The game is on and Dick Downard makes a score for Goudy's Galloping Gophers, while across the field waits Kovachevich's ambulance in case any- one gets hurt. Among the towns- people in the stands are Gene Negley, Farm Bureau head, Mary Kay Peugh with her mining engineer, Dr. Dwayne Beasley, Osteopathg Louise Blakley, banker's wife, and Beatrice Bowman, proprietor of the Do Drop In Dry Cleaners. In a beautiful mink coat is Audrey Pschirrer, head buyer for Car- son, Pirie and Scott, while her escort Dean Carson, one-third owner of Car- son, Pirie and Scott, is putting the program down for her to sit on so as not to harm her coat. jimmy Woods, famed as a model for 5 o'clock shadow, has with him Nellena Horton of Hor- ton's Happy Escort Bureau. As Hop- per's Happy Hoppers make a goal, Charlotte May and Jean Johnson, May company employees in Los Angeles, look around the stadium for Della Whitehead, personal shopper for Block and Kuhl. Naturally, Margie Hensley is with her favorite, husband Bill. At the half are introduced Phil Santos, Olympic track star, and Bill Wright, boxing champion, by Dick Toncray, sports announcer. Also in the Press box is Lavonne Fulton, famous gossip commentator. Suddenly the scene blurs and a map of the United States appears with pins attached to it with name tags. As we look we see California, Clyde Myers as a Lockheed designer, and Chicago, Wilma Jean O'Donnal, roller skating star. Wham, the scene changes-A nite club in Chicago, Shirley Haughawout Mulligan is dancing with Gene Kelly to the music of Carlyle Leek's Lilting Legatoes. Carlyle's specialty is the bass drum. Suddenly there is a roar and through the ceiling comes Bill Herink, test pilot in his autogiro, as Richard Leeds and his wife, Barbara fiooj Todd Leeds, crawl under a table bumping into Caroll Ludlum, chain grocery magnate, who is hunting his shoes. As the wreckage clears, Barbara Wilson Haggerty, Wife of a farmer- aviator, orders a chicken dinner. Louis Pusatere, chemical engineer, is over at a corner booth splitting an atom with Einstein while play-boy Bill Ritchey's Ipana smile lights up the gloom. The lights dim and Betty Duquenne, torch singer, gives forth with Floyd Sap- pington's latest hit. At a main table by the dance floor are seated Grau- man's Chinese Theater ushers, Shirley Westphall and Pat Saurbaugh. Coming in the door is Junior Wilks, iirst base- man for the Cubs, and Dean Walters, successful stock farmer. A spot light is roving and lights on Norma Van Winkle Brentz singing softly An- chors Aweigh, while Roger Walker is making a deal for his Kroger Store with Albert St. Dennis, head of a tomato cannery. A cigarette girl passes out cigarettes donated by Jim Davis and John Voorhees, salesman for the American 'Tobacco Co. Whish-and up Sth Avenue in New York. Suddenly a streak going south, rounds the corner. It's Leonard Wat- son, Olympic 100 meter champion. Strolling out of her exclusive fur shop, comes Emma Lou Harney with her St. Bernard dog on a chain. Wilma Hud- son of Hudson's Hustle Hairpins is seen going in Wilda Mahr's Bake Shop. Stopping by Rockefeller Center, a new dancing line called the Cantonettes are rehearsing, Jackie Grubaugh, Shirley Henderson, Martha Ellis, Verna Myers, Harriet Windsor, Helen Stitzel, Betty Games, Vivian Connor, Eileen Schenck and Mary Rose Sepich, and near the stage is Bob Patterson, drafting a plan for a trap door for Rudolph Koze- lichki, stand-in for Turhan Bey, to go through when the bobby-soxers mob him. Out in the hall Dorothy Ayers, Stork Club entertainer, is tapping out a new routine while Ed. Manny, Jose Iturbi's protege, plays for a broadcast downstairs. Over in Greenwich Vilage in an at- tic, the gay Barbara Kirkham, author of Moldy Moments, is throwing a big literary brawl for Marion Bordner, the only traveling salesman in the United States with a Doctor's degree in English Grammar. Culture drips as Loretta Davis, Metropolitan alto, sings, accompanied by concert pianist, Jo Ann Derry. Proudly exhibiting snap- shots to Bunny Smith, Esquire photog- rapher, is the former Shirley Kaiser, Model Mother of 1956. Maxine Eyerly, Dinah Shore the second, is giv- ing forth with Chickery Chick as her press agent, Dale Goyen, buys a carload of bubble gum from Bill Myers, Wrigley manager. Jacqueline Laney, foreign correspondent, asks Don Gregory Peck Cox for his X mark as Leona Norsigian models a new formal from Sak's. Gerry Santos, Physical Education Professor at the University of Illinois, shows MacMur- ray's President, Rita Royer, Vassar's President, Marjorie Mason, and Shirley Eddy, gym teacher at Knox, how to play speed ball. Melba Bain, reporter on the London Times, reads the news for June Ann Michelson, Varga successor, and Audrey Weakly, Fash- ion Magazine artist. Headlines in the paper tell of Audrey Beebe, explorer and finder of King Kut Throat's tomb, whose trusty guide was Alfred Jerry Shryock, who prefers the night clubs of New York, but must earn money. Interpreter for the adventuresome group was Kay, Osa Johnson, Crayton, who speaks Hindustan in her sleep. Down in the corner of the paper is news of Clarabel Fouts, Missionary to South Africa. A huge advertisement on the back page announces the ar- rival of the circus, Alan Evans' Enor- mous Enterprises, starring John Essex as ringmaster and Charles Brown as the man who never smiles. The news- paper is laid down as everyone listens to Peggy Weitkamper, English teacher at Smith College, giving the meaning of No to Cecil Gibson and Phil Henseler, Hart, Shaffer and Marx models. Suddenly the screen on the televisioned set is blank. A sign leaps to the front, Deposit fifty more dol- lars in the slot. Too bad, Swamii, we know everything now, too. K ' X .
