With the motto, If it can be done, we can do it, they have seen much fun and studying too. With advisors such as Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Zeigler and officers like Dean Goldnetz, Charles Warwick, Charlotte Eddy, and Bob Hammond how could they help but end their final year with a flourish? Athletes? Oh my, yes! Tom Zaborac, our All-State fellow, Aaron Preece, Don Sepich, Shorty Nelson, and George Taylor aren,t to be out-done. Sponsored by the Seniors, besides the Hop, and other school dances, was the Sadie Hawkins dance, the first of its kind in C. H. S. With George Taylor as L'il Abner, and Mildred Carroll as Daisy Mae, the night was one to start the tradition in Canton. Their good times are not the only things the seniors achieved. The National Honor Society and the Quill and Scroll are well attended.

This yeariof their career is one to be long remembered. They wouldn't ask for better officers than Bob Kelly, Judy Van Dyke, Lois Kleinsteiber, and Pat Maurice or better advisors than Miss Rohrbaugh, Mr. Medus, and Miss Holley. The prom has been their first formal school dance staged so capably by themselves but they just danced and enjoyed their Hrst Hop. Not only is it their first Hop and Prom, but they have first chance to be eli- gible for membership in the Quill and Scroll and the National Honor Society. Naturally, all don't make the stiff intellectual climb, but there are those that do. Did someone mention athletes? Take a squint at this class of '45s stars such as Bob Grove, Bill Oaks, Kenneth Payne, Otto Schumacher, Jim Thomson, and A. Henseler. Juniors, by following your class motto, always lead, never follow,', we know that you are going to finish that climb in one grand leap. C323 ii: 'ki' l ROLL ROOM 3 First Row: L. Ashby, E. Ashton, G.

Always moving up- ward, they will finally reach the top in their senior year. During the Hrst year Con the first stepj this class has been an outstanding one. They can well be proud of the future athletic stars who are coming into che spotlight. The freshman baton twirlers, Phoebe Myers, Martha Soldwedel, Yvonne Larson, Carol Johnson, Pat Flahavin, and Shirley Smith, provide a bright spot also. They can be proud of their stars not only in athletics and twirling but also in music, journalism, and art. All freshmen are supposed to be green, but even a green apple can be delicious in a short time. We wish you success, Class of '47, in your ever upward climb. C423 ti' 'ki' First Row: S. Barnett, B.

Membership is determined by the purchase of an A.L.M.A. ticket and mostly by the attendance at the football and basketball games. The money received from the sale of A.L.M.A. tickets is used in purchasing football and basketball equipment and also in paying the officials' fees.

The campaign began September 22, two weeks after the beginning of the Third War Loan. Under the capable leadership of chairman Ray Stanko, co-chairman Jacqueline Laney, the com- mittee, Priscilla Duddy and Louise Toigo, and advisor Miss Elizabeth Peckenpaugh, the students responded enthusiastically. Collectors were appointed to their respective roll rooms and bonds and stamps were bought in weekly drives. Leading the classes in the amount purchased are the Freshmen with a totalvof S9,177.90. Following are the Juniors with S6,373.95. Next in line are the Sophomores with 54,736.91 and last but not least are the Seniors with 5li3,726.1O. Also the Ag classes purchased 35230 worth. Several thousand dollars worth were purchased by the school, making a grand total of S34,244.90, which will contribute greatly to the doom of Schickelgruber and Tojo. Much time and effort was givenvby the students, especially the committee in charge of the drive, to make the campaign a success, and their goal was more than achieved.

One project has been the making of laprobes and throws for the Hospital Unit at Camp Ellis. These were made of woolen squares and crocheted together by Emma Lou Harney, Mary Kay Crayton, Loretta Bernovich, Kay Widger and Bonnie Johnson. Donations of the material were received from Donald Bump, Dean Negley, Vernon Courtney, Robert Shoop, Louise Blue, Betty Jo Hukill, Nancy Nelson, Shirley Smith, Loretta Bernovich, Frances Stover, and Ollidene Weaver. Miss Laura Schutter was the instructor. There has also been the making of afghans. These are made of yarn woven into four and six inch squares on a small hand loom. Much interest was aroused in this activity by means of contests. There have been three contests this year, the first ending in December, the second in February, and the third in May. Miss Lillian Johnson acted as captain of the group which was divided into three teams. Team one, Margaret Larson, Lieutenant, Donna Wilson, Shirley Baylor, Betty Bertetto, Jane McElroy, Alice Bennett, Alberta Vahle, Marguerite Brant, and Marjorie Reinertsen. Team two, Betty Flynn, Lieutenant, Louise Strode, Mae Flowers, Sharon Palmer, Della Williams, Nancy Nelson, Peggy Browning, Janeen Brooks, Betty Garett, Pauline Garzee, Martha Soldwedel, and Fanda Peterson. Team three, Betty jo Felts, Lieutenant, Norma Fouts, Betty Ray, Bonnie' Johnson, Isabel Cernich, Helen Scott, Eleanor Horton, Pat Evans, Doris Bark- ley, Barbara Dodson, Carol Johnson, and Norma Lakin. At the close of each contest the losing teams entertained the winners at a party. C533 'ki' 'ki' Prom--1943 On the long-awaited evening of May 14, 1943, the Juniors enter- tained the Seniors at the annual prom at the Alice Ingersoll Gymnasium. The Grand March was led by Mary Myers, Junior Class President, and Richard Danner followed by james Poe, Senior Class President, and his choice, Phyllis Blakley. The delightful decorations, under the capable and tasteful direction of Miss Holley, gave us the impression of dancing on a patio with the stars shining in the blue sky above us. The color scheme was blue and silver. We dreamily danced to the sweet music of the Royal Scots of Macomb 'till eleven-thirty and then we visited near-by towns 'till the wee hours of the morning. Much credit is due to the Junior Class advisors, Miss Rohrbaugh, Miss Holley, and Mr. Medus, for helping to make our Prom such a success. I C543 'kit ti' First Row: M. Myers, P. Duddy, S. Hamrick, N.

Dancing was to the sweet music of Ray Prinkle and his orchestra of Galesburg from nine to twelve, when we then left to keep the old tradition of getting in in the Wee hours of the morning. All of us who attended have this night Written down in our memory book as a big and happy event of our school life.

The three act farce comedy was two hours of solid fun with the Allison family and the complications that ensued when they decided to entertain Count Rinaldo, an Austrian nobleman. John Allison, por- trayed by Chuck Warwick, and his sister-in-law, played by Alveria Somers, were always at odds, in fact they had a tacit agreement to dis- agree which kept the audience in laughs. The characters included the following: John Allison, as played by Chuck Warwick, Emily Allison, Mildred Carroll, Joy Allison, Dona Ann Luker, Mrs. Howard, Alveria Somers, Jimmie Howard, Jimmie Greer, Eddie Lester, Lee Hossler, Count Nicholos Rinaldo, Ray Stanko, Doctor Langford, Raymond Rowley, Thomas Dumont, Gerry Westerneldg Mrs. Dumont, Mildred Kelly, Phyllis Dumont, Mary Myers, and Jenny, June Glover.

Amateur Show - 1944 Keen show, eh? And Jack Cox can really play the trumpet, can't he? As the audience filed out of the assembly after the seventh annual amateur night remarks like that were heard on every side. Yes, the show was as usual a huge success. Jack Cox and his trusty old trumpet really deserved the first place, but second prize winner, Dean Negley, can surely take a bow and the boys, quintette did a swell job to take third place. Credit for the show's success belongs to Ray Stanko who organ- ized the program and made a mighty fine master of ceremonies. C579 'ki' 'ki' First Row: A. Kingery, P. Thieme, L. Harland, D.

Second Annual Homecoming -- 1943 The second annual homecoming was held Friday, October 22, 1943. A parade was formed at the High School, proceeding to the Athletic Field preceded by a Canton Police car and the C.H.S. Band. The queens of their respective classes followed. Members of the student body and decorated cars brought up the rear. After reaching the Held over 200 pupils participated in the snake dance. Although the opposing football team, Kewanee, were the victors with a score of 34 to 0, the homecoming Was a complete success. After the game the annual dance was given with Freddie Myers and his orchestra providing the dance music. The senior queen was Pat Duddy, with Mary Lou Shields, junior, Lucille Miller, sophomore, and Betty Jo Hukill, freshman, as her attend- ants. The committee choosing the queens were Charlotte Eddy, Ray Stanko, and George Saunders representing the Seniors, Jean Reeve, Richard Metcalfe, and Dale Wolfe representing the Juniors, Jerry Shryock, Lavore Harland as representatives of the Sophomoresg and Alan Kingery and Phyllis Thieme representing the Freshmen. Ray Stanko Was the general chairman. The faculty advisors were Mr. Baxter and Mr. Klingman. A fund has been established from the proceeds of this yearis home- coming for the homecomings of the future. D85 it it Marjorie Melgreen Pat Duddy D. A. R. Medal Winner Homecoming Queen Marjorie Melgreen received the honor of being elected the D.A.R. girl by her Senior classmates. Any- one, Whose scholastic record has been outstanding throughout her high school career, has always lived up to the required qualities of mak- ing a good citizen, which are de- pendability, service, leadership, and patriotism, is eligible for this award. We all feel that Margie merits this honor given her by her class- mates. C597 Pat', Duddy, the popular Senior girl with the winning smile, was this year's Homecoming Queen. With her three attendants, she headed the parade riding in a smooth convertible and presided over the Canton-Kewanee football game. it if Mr. Klingman Our well known music director, Ketric Rudolph Waldermar Klingman, has as many friends as his name is long. He is well liked by all and is an all around jolly good fellow. Besides directing our band and glee clubs he teaches Freshman algebra, and during his spare time he directs the Mens' Glee Club and the Methodist Church Choir. His favorite pastimes are playing golf and enter- taining his young daughter. Mr. Klingman has been with us now for five years and we certainly don't know what we'd do without him.

Football - 1943 Canton High Gridders had a successful season finishing withi four wins, three defeats, and one tie. The Little Giants played valiantly despite many injuries and also had the distinction of having one of their mates make All State . Tom Zaborac, ace backfield star, was the man who received this honor. The Canton Eleven started off with an impressive 34 to O win over Havana. Next victim of the Plowboys was Pekin, our traditional rival, to the tune of 13 to 6. This was our greatest victory of the year and assured Canton of a successful football season. In our next engagement the Little Giants battled a tough Manual team to a 0 to 0 tie. With a few breaks our boys could have won this one, but they played a grand game despite bad luck. Feeling the sting of defeat for the first time the Plows bowed to an inspired Peoria Vfoodruff team, 20 to 7. Cap- tain Bill Oaks, star lineman, was laid up for the rest of the season. It was a costly blow which hurt the team no end. Lewistown High was the next opponent to be crushed by Coach Metz- ger's powerful juggernaut. Final score, Canton 40, Lewistown 6. Canton with only about half of their regulars in playing condition then were forced to take on Kewanee and Galesburg, two of the greatest teams in the state. Kewanee trounced us 34 to O andiGalesburg scored a 32 to 13 triumphi. In the final game of the season the Little Giants whipped a scrappy Farming- ton outfit 39 to 0. Thus a successful conclusion was made for the '43 season. Our boys should be given a lot of credit for the performances they made despite all the odds against them. Coach Metzger deserves much praise for the way he patched up our injury riddled team and got the most out of what he had. Next season with Dame Luck smiling on our football fortunes Canton should have another top-notch football squad. f82y 'ki' ii' Football Lettermen - 1943 TOM ZABORAC-Tom,s record speaks for itself. He was chosen a member of the All State squad and was among the indi- vidual high scorers in the state. Tom is without a doubt one of the greatest backs in the hiistory of'Canton football. He is a senior and will certainly be missed next year. AARON PREECE-Aaron started the sea- son playing regular end, but in the last quarter of the Pekin game, he broke his thumb which put him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. Aaron is a senior and therefore will not be back next year. HAROLD NELSON--'lShorty,' started the season playing in the backfield, but in the middle of the season he was shifted to an end position which he played very well. Shorty was always a thorn in the other team's side. He will be remembered by his love for the game and his real football spirit. DEAN SMITH-Dean, like many other players on the squad, was very capable of playing two positions. He played end and tackle equally well. Dean was noted for his fine football spirit, he really got mad at the other team. Fellows who know Dean believe in the saying, You can't keep a good man down, for this was certainly one man you could not keep down. VERLE UTZINGER-Eveiy boy on the squad was very versatile but it can truly be said that Red,,' as he was known on the Held, was the most versatile of them all. He played every position on the team but tackle. Red has always been a real spirited ball player and this does a great deal towards the morale of the team. Verle is a senior and so will be missing when the next foot- ball season rolls around. VINCENT ZABORAC - Vincent like many of the other fellows on the squad did not finish the season playing the position which he started to play. He was moved from a regular end position to that of tackle because of injuries to other players. :'Zeke played both positions well and his lighting spirit will be missed next year. BILL UBELL-Bill is a senior and so played his last year of football for Canton High. Bill was noted for his low, hard, defensive charging. Although he did not start many games, hae played the biggest share of many of them at the guard position. Bill,s de- fensive play will be missed next year. C333 DEAN GOLDNETZ-Dean came out for football for the first time in his senior year. Although he was one of the smallest men on the team, he made up for this with his cleverness. Dean was a reserve back this year and always performed well whenever called upon. BOB HAMMOND-This was Bob's first year as a regular. He started the season playing at the center position but was moved to the guard position after Ray Morelli's accident. He proved to be a hard man to stop in either position. Bob, being a senior, won't be with us next year. BILL OAKS-Bill served as captain of the team this year and it can be said that no one could have performed the job better. Bill's season was cut short when he received a knee injury in the Vfoodruff game, which kept him out of the lineup for the remain- der of the season, and probably also kept him from gaining a place on the All State team. Bill will be back next year and will be a top-ranking candidate for a position on the All State squad. JIM THOMSON-Jim is a junior and played his second year at the regular guard position, and did a fine job. Jim is a fine blocker, a good tackler, and therefore should play some great football for Canton High next year. Good luck to you in your senior year, Jim! BOB GROVE-Bob was chosen captain of the team for the coming season. He was a regular halfback on the squad this year, and did all of the punting while the greatest share of the passing responsibilities also fell upon his shoulders. Bob performed all of these duties very well this year and can be expected to do even better next season. RAY MORELLI-Ray was one of several players who were victims of unfortunate injuries early in the season. Had it not been for this accident, Canton's line would have been considerably stronger for Ray proved this point by his performance in the Manual game. Ray is a junior and intends to play football at Canton next year. JOE GUMBEL-As a sophomore Joe made the regular team playing at any ofithe backfield spots. In his first year of varsity football, Joe proved to be a powerful of- fensive threat. Much can be expected from him next year, for with one year of varsity experience, Joe should be even better in his junior year. fContinued on page 961 'ki' ti' First Row: Zaborac, Preece, Taylor, Sepich, Grove.

Varsity Basketball- 1943-44 For the third time in the last four years, Canton's Little Giantsv have gone to the State Tournament. Under the able coaching of Coach Larson our high scoring Plowboys swept through the season, hanging up a record of 25 wins with 5 losses. Our team started the season with a bang, by scoring 12 consecutive victories. Then our boys were snagged by a tough Decatur quintet. Then Canton suffered that common malady among basketball teams, called Mid-season Slurnpf, In the next 7 games Canton won four while losing thlree. After the slump, the Little Giantsh hit their stride again, finished the rest of the season undefeated and went right on through the stiff tournament grind to the second round of the State finals. In this last game, Canton had a favorable lead at the half, but an inspired and hot shooting Champaign club would not be denied. Canton High School is justly proud of the fine record that this 1943-44 team has made. It compares favorably with any of our other great teams. Nice going, fellows. You've set a goal which our future teams can shoot for. GAMES Canton .,,-,,,, ,,-,..- C uba Canton ,....,, ,,,,,.. . Lewistown Canton ......,. ,.,.,,, , ,Rock Island Canton 43 ,..,,.r ........

C hampaign cw it tak Basketball Lettermen - 1943-44 TOM ZABORAC-Tom played his third season as a regular on the team. Tom was another dangerous offensive man for he really has an eye for that bucket. He was the shortest man on the first five, but made up for this with his great jumping ability which made him a good rebounder. Tom is another who is making a bid for scoring honors in the Illini Conference. A player with Tom's experience is of real value to a team and will be missed next season. AARON PREECE-Aaron stood out as an oifensive for he was a constant scoring threat. He was one of the top scorers in the Illini Conference. Besides being a great offensive threat, he also stood out as a de- fensive rebounder. He played his third year with the Canton five and had his best season in his senior year. Aaron was an alert ball player and always used his head when on the floor. This type of ball player will really be missed next year. DON SEPICH-Getting off to a slow start this year, Don later developed into the ball- player that he really is. While he was not considered a high-scorer, he stood out as a great rebounder and a fine defensive man. Don was a scrappy hard-lighting ball-player that never gave up. He. proved this point in the initial Pekin game. Don was seen in action at the guard post but was capable of playing forward equally well. Another senior, Don will be missing when next sea- son rolls around. GEORGE TAYLOR-George was by far the tallest man on the team, standing 6 ft. 4 inches. He was an exceptionally good rebounder and also stood out on offense, for he was a constant scoring threat. He was considered by many Canton fans as the best pivot man to be seen in action for the Little Giants in several years. Georgeis re- bounding and offensive play will really be missed next year. BOB GROVE-Bob was the only junior on the first five. He played forward this year and he really played a bang-up game at this position. He was a fine shot but stood out as a defensive man and a great defensive rebounder. Playing his first year cw as a varsity man, he really proved that he can play the game. Bob will return next year with a year of varsity experience and should be a stand-out next season. BILL OAKS-Bill was another fellow who was seen in action many times with the Giants this season and one who repeatedly gave a fine account of himself when called upon. He is a scrappy player who fights every minute he is in the game. Bill is a junior this year and with the experience he has gained this season and that of his previ- ous two years he should be invaluable to the squad next season. BROTHER', SCHUMACI-IER-l'Br0ther was not a regular this year, but was seen in action many times with the Canton five. He was on hisitoes every minute he played and was considered a real defensive ball hawk. He gave his best whenever called upon and was an accurate shot with either hand. Brother is a junior and should play some good ball next year. KENNETH PAYNE- Lefty,,, as he was called, is another junior who gained ex- perience which should be of great value to him next season. Lefty,' really fits this fellow for he really knows how to- use that left hand. He is an exceptionally good shot and a good defensive man. Lefty gave a very good account of himself this season and can be expected to do even better next year. Good luck, Kenny! A. J. HENSELER-A. was a reserve center this year and had a hard time break- ing into the game while competing with such an outstanding ballplayer as Taylor. A. J. is a junior and has a good chance of getting into the thick of things next season. Should A. J. put on a little weight before next season, he would be a hard fellow to compete with at the center post. RAY MOORE-Ray is a junior this year and has not seen much action. One reason for this is the fact that he suffered an in- jury to his hand early in the season. An- other is that Canton is well supplied withm reserves in Schumacher and Oaks. Since Ray has one more year to play he will probably see much action next season. it 'ki' Basketball Tournaments -1943-44 Lewistown Spalding Glasford Farmington Elmwood Cuba Prairie City Canton Galesburg Dallas City Roseville Marseilles Anna-Jonesboro Pekin Elgin Kankakee West Rockford Quincy South Shore West Frankfort Canton Mt.

Freshmen-Sophomore Basketball- 1943-44 The Frosh-Soph team this year did not complete as successful a season as has been their record in the past few years. However, the team this 'year did win over one-half of its games. The greatest rival of the team this season was the team from the Junior High School made up of a combination of players from the State Championship Lightweights and the Heavyweights. The Frosh-Soph defeated this scrappy outfit two out of three games, but in every case the scores were exceptionally close and extremely hard fought. If the underclass team carries on with their Hghting spirit, Canton can be expecting more outstanding teams like the Varsity squad which rep- resented the school this season.

Baseball- 1942-43 After a comparatively slow start Canton's baseball nine became a real diamond threat in tourney competition. They were victors in the District Tournament and were in the running until the last in the sectional tourney only to be defeated by Peoria Central in the championship game. Seven of the regulars on the squad were sophomores and juniors which means that Coach Larson can open the 1944 season with several experienced players. Two of these seven, however, Charles Wright and Louis Cararra, were drafted into the armed forces during the summer, and therefore will not be on hand in the coming season. Canton can open the 44 baseball season with a bright out- look, however. The season's record is as follows: Canton ....,,. .,..,. E ast Peoria DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Canton ....,,, ,.....

Tennis - 1942-43 Canton High's tennis team Won one, tied one, and lost one in three dual matches and placed third in the district meet in its abbreviated season. Be- cause of rain, Canton was able to have only one match here and were forced to cancel matches with Peoria Central and Pekin. In the first match of the season, Canton tied Peoria Central 3-3, a school which has had a habit of turn- ing out excellent teams for several years. Next, Canton trounced Vermont 6-0 on Canton courts. After this victory Canton invaded Pekin, and Was defeated 5-1 by a very strong Pekin team. Canton then entered the district meet held at Peoria and capped third place. More matches had been scheduled but bad Weather ended the tennis season as soon as the District meet had been completed. Coach Johnson must be given credit for getting the tennis team in shape despite the disadvantage of bad weather. Letters were Won by Dan- ner, Calas, Goldnetz, and Warwick. If there is any 1944 tennis, the nucleus of the team will be built around the returning lettermen Goldnetz and War- wick. cw j 'ki' fir First Row: Goldnetz, VVhitehead, Collins, Russell, Groover, Basco, Wheeler, Utzinger, Smith, Sepich, T.

Under the able coaching of Mr. Metzger the Canton speedsters whipped Peoria Manual and Peoria Central in dual meets. They copped the District and Illini Conference meets to make a clean sweep of the season. It was the first time any Canton team had won either District or Illini meets. Four of our boys competed in the state conference and although they didn't place they made a good showing. Zaborac, Groover, Smith, Basco, and Canton's relay team all won first in the District. Zaborac won the 100-200 yard dashes, Groover won the high jump and placed fifth in the broad jump, Smith captured the mile, Basco leaped his way over the hurdles to capture 120 yard highr hurdles race, and our relay team, composed of Zaborac, Sepich, Groover, and Weaver, copped the 880 yard relay to com- plete our coralling of Hrst place laurels. Vince,' Zaborac and Wheeler placed third and fifth in the half mile and pole vault events respectively to round out Canton's point total. Our boys really put on a great exhibition in the Illini Conference meet by breaking four records and winning the meet over such strong schools as Peoria Woodruff, Kewanee, and Pekin. Tom Zaborac broke records in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, Smith broke the mile record by defeat- ing Green of Kewanee, the previous record holder. Our relay team also broke the 880 yard relay mark. Wheeler won the pole vault, Groover tied for first in the high jump and Vince Zaborac nabbed the half mile. Other point winners were Goldnerz, Sepich, Oaks, Weaver, Basco, and Russell. Of those who had placed in the District meet, Smith, Groover, l'Vince Zaborac, and Basco com- peted in the State meet. Smith ran sixthx in the mile, Groover high jumped 6 feet 1 inch and Zaborac and Basco did great work in the half mile and 120 yard high hurdles. Although none of our boys placed in the meet they proved they could hold their own with the best in the state. With several of our best men back Canton is looking forward to another great track season in 1944. EVENTS AND MEN 100 yd. dash--.. ..... ......... T . Zaborac, Sepich Shot put ....r.. ...........
