LARSON During the eight years Coach Lar- son has been at Canton High, he has taken four basketball teams to the state tournament. Instilling the will to Win in his lads, Larson guided his proteges to 17 Wins and 13 losses. Can- ton met some of the best teams in the state. Coach Larson is well known at Can- ton High for his inimitable smile and inexhaustible supply of jokes. In addition to basketball, Mr. Lar- son is the baseball coach and has never failed to come up with good teams. 12 COACH WILLIAM J. METZGER In the last three years, interest in football here at Canton has greatly in- creased. This is due mostly to the untiring efforts of Coach Metzger. Though his material was not good this year, he has built up football and will have good teams in the next few years. Since his arrival here, Mr. Metzger has made many friends who are pulling for him to come up with winning teams. Aside from football, Mr. Metzger also is the track coach and has taken boys to compete in the State Track Meet both years he has been here. He is also coach of the Junior Varsity bas- ketball team. lst row: G. Babcock, O. Schumacher, L. Watson, R. Moore, F. Melgreen. 2nd row: C. Sullivan, Manager, B. Oaks, P. Watt, K. Owens, A. J.

Maybe our win and loss record wasn't as impressive as past years but we fought some of the top notch teams in the state. We got off to a comparatively slow start but we soon gained our strength and drive after a few games. There was quite a duel between Canton and Manual this year and we showed them what we were made of. We felt pretty badly about not making State, but then again when we think of who beat us, we don't feel half bad. This year we lose Henseler, Payne, Grove, Moore, Oaks, and Schumacher. To these Seniors we say, Good luck and happy landings! We'll still have Melgreen, Hess, Owens, Cox, Mendenhall, Watson, and Sepich to carry on for the Purple and Old Gold. To them we say, Let's go, boys, and let's show Decatur we can do it too. GAMES VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Canton 29 ....... ........

A quick, alert ball-player, he could always be depended on in the tight places. A good offensive man, he was a con- stant threat to the opponent because of his shoot- ing ability. This was Bob's second year as a regular so his experience was invaluable while he was playing at either the forward or guard posi- tions. We,ll have to say good-bye to a fine play- er as Bob's a senior. We'll miss him! RAY MOORE-Ray, a senior, was one of the scrappiest players on this year's squad. A good rebounder and fine defensive man, he was every- where the ball was. Ray played at both the guard and the forward positions and proved capable of handling either post. We take this opportunity to take our hats off to one of the less heralded, but, n-evertheless, hard-fighting ball-players. We'll miss him next season. BILL OAKS-Bill, another senior, closes his career as a high school athlete this year, but not without taking his share of honors as a basketball player. This was his first year as a regular and he proved himself a calm, steady, hard-fighting player no matter what the situation. His experience of past years made him a valuable member of the squad as he was called on at different times during the season to play guard, forward, and center. Bill's all-roundness will be missed next year. UBROTHERH SCHUMACHER-Ineligible the first semester, 'tBrother came out the second to make up for lost time. Playing on the first string at the guard position, he proved himself to be a fine man on the defensive and just as good on the offensive. Brother', was one of our top scorers during the latter part of the season, rarely missing that bucket. He, like the other mem- bers of the first five, is a senior this year. His fighting spirit will be missed when next season rolls around. KENNY PAYNE-Kenny was also ineligible the Hrst semester, but, like Brother,,' he came out the second to take over a berth on the first five at the forward post. A southpaw, and an accurate one at that, he was one of the sharp- shooters, and accounted for a good many points this semester. Kenny was a good defensive man and always did his share towards winning when called upon. Another senior, his experience as a ball-player will be missed next year. A. J. I-IENSELER-A. J. started out the season as a regular, but when some more experienced players came out the second semester, he had to relinquish his place on the first five. Since then f 14 he has got to see quite a bit of action. He was always ready to do his best when called upon and can really be called a scrappy player. A. J., like so many of the boys on this year's t-eam, is a sen- ior, so will be missing next year. KENNY OWENS--The tallest member squad this year, 6 ft. 4 in., Kenny,' started out by of his scorers of the playing at the center position. Because towering height, he was one of the high the first semester and was a constant threat to the opponent. Kenny was relieved of his first term position the second semester by a more experienced senior, but he still got to see a lot of action. His experience will be invaluable to him in his senior year, so great things are expected of him. DON COX-Don, a newcomer to C.H.S. this year from Vermont, Illinois, came out for basket- ball the second semester. He managed to see quite a bit of action while substituting at the for- ward and guard positions. Don was a good de- fensive man as well as being a good shot. With the experience of this year behind him, he should really play good basketball next year. We're -ex- pecting great things of this up-and-coming play- er next season. BILL HESS-Bill, a sophomore, was ineligible the first semester, but managed to see plenty of action the second. Bill was a fine de- fensive man as well as being a good shot. The fans haven't seen such pep and speed displayed by a Canton player for a good many years. With the experience he has gained this year on the varsity squad he should be able to take over a full-time position on the first string n-ext season. Good luck to you next year, Bill! FRANKIE MELGREEN-Although Frankie was only a sophomore, he got to see plenty of ac- tion this year. He was one of the shortest men on the squad, but made up for it with a fighting spirit that was hard to equal. Frankie was a good def-ensive man and substituted readily at either the forward or guard positions. With a year of varsity experience behind him, he should be a stand-out in the next two seasons. LECNARD WATSON-Leonard got to see quite a bit of action during his first season on the var- sity squad. When he was in the game, the fans were impressed by this little fellow's same show of speed that he had displayed so readily on the grid- iron. Speed, one of the necessities of modern basketball, is everpresent in Leonard. With his year of varsity experience behind him, he,s going to have a lot expected of him during his senior year. l lst row: B. Hess, F. Melgreen, R, Mace, R. Dearing, L. Oaks. 2nd row: M.

The team was primarily made up of fresh- men who had made a name for themselves last year as the Stat-e Lightweight Champions. The squad was able to travel more widely this year which gave the members lots of experience that will be helpful when they compose the varsity team in a couple of years. They finished the season with eleven wins out of sixteen starts against out-of-town schools, one of these being a varsity team. They displayed some fine ball handling and team work this season, in spite of their inexperience. With a few more years experience, they should turn out to be a first rate team and one that C.H.S. will be mighty proud to call its own. Here's wishing you good luck in the future, boys, and keep up the good work! FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL SCORES Canton Frosh-Soph ..,.,,,.........................,......... ...... .

The Canton High School football team finished the 1944 season with three wins and six defeats. Being light and inexperienced, the Little Giants were at a great dis- advantage this year. Our Canton eleven started off with a 24-6 victory over Havana. Then the Plow- boys ran into trouble, bowing to a powerful Manual team, 33-6, and experienced Pekin outfit, 35-13. Next came Woodruff Weighing Warriors, who outweighed the Canton team fifteen pounds to a man. We lost, 19-7 . Then came a loss to East Peoria's Red Raiders, 26-7 . The Plowboys got back into the Win column with a 32-0 victory over a weak Lewistown team. Then We traveled to Kewanee and were defeated by another fine Kewanee team, 34-14. One of the greatest teams in the state, Gales- burg, next whipped us 47 -7. In the final game of the season Canton beat a fairly successful Farmington team, 14-0. Though the team was light this year, they had a lot of fire and fight. Coach Metzger deserves much praise for his hard Work despite the material he had to work with. Lots of luck to Mr. Metzger and Canton High in years to come! 5161 1944 gjzoffaff .Eeffermen BOB GROVE-Bob served as the captain of the team this year and did a fine job of it. He played at the quarterback position this season and did all of the passing as well as a good part of the punting. A senior, Bob's athletic ability will cer- tainly be missed next year. BILL OAKS-Bill completed another season of football playing at the tackle position. His pow- erful blocking and strong, accurate kicking made him one of the standouts of the team this year. He always played a hard game and never gave up without a fight. XVe'll miss you next season, Bill! RAY MORELLI-It can truthfully be said of Boom Boomn that he strengthened Canton's line considerably this year. He played right end this season and was always on the spot waiting to catch Bob Grove's passes. 'Ray's hard blocking and tackling, as well as his fighting spirit, will be missed next year as he is a senior. BILL COOK-This was Bill,s first season of foot- ball. He played at the right guard position, and did a fine job considering his inexperience. Bill was a very aggressive player and although he was injured early in the season, he came back to finish it. We'll miss your fighting spirit next year, Bill! LEONARD WATSON-Leonard, captain elect for 1945, was more or less the surprise player of the season. While playing his first season as a regular, he proved to be one of the speediest men on the team. He played in the left halfback position. He's a junior this year so a lot will be expected of him next year. PHIL WATT--Phil played his first season as a regular for C.H.S. this year. He did well in keeping the center position intact, and always did his part in trying to hold that line. Heis a junior so will be back next year. Good luck to you in your senior year, Phil! NORMAN HOPPER-This was i'Norm,s', first season as a regular for C.H.S. He played at the left end position and did a fine job of it. Besides being a good blocker, heis right in there when it comes to catching passes. He is only a junior and his love for the game will surely bring him back next year. ALAN EVANS-This was Red's', first season as a regular. He played at the left guard position. He has proven himself a good man on both the offensive and the defensive. He's fairly fast, and has put plenty of pep into our line. A junior, he'll be back next year. I 17 MARION BORDNER- Bottles, as he was called by the players and the coach, played his first season as a regular at the right halfback position. Another one of the ,fleet-footers, he proved to be a handy man to have on the team. Marion is only a junior so he'll be right in there fighting next season. KENNETH OWENS-This was Ken's first year as a regular, and after getting off to a slow start he improved rapidly. Being such a big fel- low f6'4 j he filled the right tackle position quite well. 'lKenny is only a junior this year so big things will be expected of him next season. DWAYNE GOUDY-One of the hardest fight- ing men on the squad, Killer saw plenty of ac- tion in the quarterback position. He's been out for football for three years and plans to make it four. XVith all his varsity experience behind him, he should be a regular in his senior year. FRANK MELGREEN- Frankie saw quite a bit of action this year in the line. Although he's only a sophomore, he's one of the more aggressive players and a hard-hitting blocker. With two more years ahead of him, he should do well by himself in football. DICK LEFEBVRE-This was Dick's first year of football. He saw quite a bit of action in the backfield but due to an unfortunate accident, his career was cut short this season. Great things can be expected of Dick, and we're hoping he'll be able to play next season. BILL BAUGH-This was Bill's second season of football and he saw plenty of action in the line. Although he lacks the height and the weight of the average football player, he's a good blocker and has a real football spirit. Bill's a sophomore this year so he should make the first string next season. DON WRIGHT-Don, a freshman, was the youngest member of the team to see a lot of ac- tion this year. He substituted at the halfback position and proved to be one of the fastest men on the team. He should make a name for him- self in C.H.S. football in the coming years. JOHN ELLSWORTH-This was Johnny's first year of high school football since he is only a freshman. He made the first string, playing at the fullback position. He's a hard player and has a great future in front of him in Canton High's athletics. Good luck to you in your coming years, Johnny! 1 1st row: Manager D. Dallefeld, V. Zaborac, L. Watson, D.

Canton defeated East Peoria and Peoria Manual in dual meets and Pekin and Havana in a triangular meet. Peoria Central copped the District Track title with 53 points while Canton took second with 34-M points. Kewanee's 4016 points bested Canton's 34M points in the Illini meet.

The boys downed four opponents before losing to Galesburg by one run. Not having been discouraged by this one defeat, they Went on to hand Pekin a no-hitter and finished their regular schedule With only one de- feat. They then entered into the District play but were defeated again by Galesburg. Coach Larson lost three of his old timers when the Class of ,44 graduated but most of the boys will be back on the diamond come next season. With the increasing popularity of baseball, Canton really had a team to be proud of this year.

Goldnetz 1944 emzis Because of the lack of material and the poor condition of the tennis courts, Canton High,s tennis team had a very short season. The year,s squad consisted only of the two remaining letter men, Dean Goldnetz and Chuck Warwick. In the Illini Conference meet, Warwick nab- bed second place in the singles with Goldnetz placing fourth. Pekin and Galesburg were the other schools represented in the meet. The following week, Coach Johnson entered his two-man team in the District at Macomb. Warwick got second in the District which qualified him for the State meet. He was defeated in the first round at State. Coach Johnson did all that could be done under the circumstances. However, unless more interest is taken, tennis will be dead as far as Canton High is concerned. i 20 l Coons, Duddy, Hays, Sullivan 1 5 6072 6lIZ6lq6I'5 You might think it strange to see the team managers coming out for a bow after a Winning victory, but you're wrong. It would really not be strange at all, for it always seems to be the unknown, unsung hero that does the dirty Work, and Without Whose Work the team's appearance Would be impossible. That,s the team managers in a nut shell. So after one of those winning victories of ours, let's give an extra hand to those Well deserving managers of ours. What ya say! U11 S. Haughawout, P.

Have you ever noticed the expressions on their faces? You don,t have to know the score, all you have to do is take a glance at their faces to know how the old Alma Mater is making out. Did you ever stop to think how dull and spiritless a game would be without these gals boosting the team, and keeping up our spirit when the going is tough? Someone ought to think up a cheer for the cheerleaders. They deserve it. lst row: Harter, Witt, W. Van Winkle 2nd row: A. Maurice, J. Metcalfe, C. D.

Under the capable leadership of Miss Dorothy Hoadley, the G.A.A. strives to maintain high standards in health and sportsmanship. It provides an opportunity for every girl to participate in a supervised sports program as well as to enjoy various social functions. Since the G.A.A. is a member of the Illinois State League, the girls are entitled to certain awards which may be earned under a point system. There are two local awards and two state awards, points for which may be obtained through various activities. This past year the club has arranged several tournaments, softball, volley ball, and basketball. It also participated in the- state tournaments for bowling, archery, and basketshooting. Besides this inside range of soorts, the G.A.A. has had many social events. The Buddy Hike, Play Day, the All School Dance, and the Spring Festival are only a few of the many and varied activities sponsored by the G.A.A.

This association enables one to atrend all home football and basketball games as Well as all preliminary speech and music contests held at the high school at reduced rates. Since it provides the maximum entertainment for the minimum price, it is Worthwhile to the students. But what is more important is that with the money obtained from the sale of season tickets, the equipment for the teams is purchased and the fees of the oflicials are paid.

Twice during its lifetime it has been faced with wartime situations. Thus, the staff has been forced to reduce the size of the paper but has tried to maintain the standards set by its predecessors. Standard equipment for the stud-ent of C.H.S. is his weekly copy of the Pennant. It is his source book' for many and varied topics of conversation. Thanks go to Miss Lillian Johnson, the capable advisor, and to Mr. King and the print shop for their loyalty, co-operation, and untiring effort.

The Camera Club is a group of high school students who give up their time so that we may get away from the monotony of classroom routine. Miss Johnson, with the help of twelve members, has been doing this magnificent job. The Camera Club is not all work, but fun also. They enjoyed several picnics at the close of the school year.

Four principal objectives and fundamental ideals are now recognized: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. The purpose is to hold these objectives as goals toward which to strive. The aim of the Society. is to make good citizenship in high school a matter of distinction and to teach students the importance of looking beyond the high school courses, making the ideals of the Society a means of self-guidance in their higher education and in their daily living. The Canton High Chapter of National Honor Society has eighteen members, all Seniors. Before school closes in May, a group of Juniors will be in- ducted as members. To them will fall the task of carrying on the Society's traditions until more members are selected next year. 1944-4 5 OFFICERS u ss President ............. .............,....,.,............. ..............

The biggest attendance and cash receipts will verify that. The play takes place in a small college. It is the Spring of the year and Ted Hoyt, the President of the Junior Prom Committee, has everything worked out perfectly for the Prom, even to having a movie star, Carol Muir, appear as a special surprise. All is Well till the Dean informs Ted that there is a ban on movie actresses. Jimmie Lee conceives a plan to help his friend, Ted, but that only gets everything confused. As the play continues, the confusion increases until no one can tell just what will happen next. However, the play ends well, much to the relief of all. The school is very proud of Mr. Snively and the cast for their splendid acting and their long hours of preparing to give us this long-to-be-remembered production.

The grand march was led by Bob Kelly, the Junior Class President, and his chosen Prom Queen, Judy Van Dyke, followed by the Senior Class President, Dean Goldnetz, and his lady, Mary Myers. This year, as in other years, the decorations were beau- tiful. The dance floor was bordered on two sides with mystic flower gar- den murals and pastel shades of crepe paper strips formed a curtain on the other two sides and a false ceiling overhead. Thle orchestra, well- known for its Music As You Like It , was placed on a grass covered platform which represented a stone terrace. The festivities ceased at 11 o'clock and the couples went their separate ways to continue their merry- making, most of them returning home in the early morning hours. And so another most successful Prom was accredited to another extremely proud Junior Class, C the Class of '45 this timej , to its very helpful advis- ors, Miss Rohrbaugh, Mr. Medus, and Miss Holley, and to the Junior class committees who, after all their hard work this year, will sit back, relax, and wait patiently for the Prom next spring. 5401 lst row: S.

First comes the band, with its high-stepping little majorettes at the fore setting the pace for the rest of the parade. Next comes the lovely queen, titian-haired Jean Reeve, with her three blonde and cute attendants, Lavore Harland, Betty Lou Ray, and Leta Oaks. Then the classes swing into view, Seniors leading the way, with Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen following in order. Finally brightly-decorated cars representing the various school clubs bring up the rear, and the procession gaily Winds its Way up Main Street to the Athletic Field. Once there, Pat Maurice, one of C.H.S.,s peppy cheer- leaders, leads all in a hilarious snake dance. This night of October sixth is saddened a little when Peoria Woodruff goes home with the 17-6 de- cision, but the evening is not over, and everyone who attends the gay after-the-game dance where those marvelous queens preside and Fuzz', Turner's orchestra plays has a Wonderful time. The committee who planned this festive affair was headed by Dick Metcalfe. Pat Shields, Shirley Oaks, and Bob Beckner represented the Seniors, Louise Blakley, Bill Ritchey, and Duke Hensler, the Juniors: Donna Oaks, Phyllis Thieme, and Sonny Duddy, the Sophomoresg and last, but not least, Margo Moore, Jeanine Harter, and Stanley Walker contributed for the Freshmen. All these were ably assisted by the Messrs. Felts, Medus, and Klingman. UU lst row: D. Wheeler, R. Turner, C. Ball, L. Frame, D. Williamson, S. Lieurance, D. Richardson. 2nd row: V. Courtney, F.

This year the Canton chapter of the F.F.A. has fifty-four members, twenty-four of whom are freshmen. Besides their regular business meet- ings, they have Father and Son banquets, Weiner roasts, annual Grain and Poultry Shows, and basketball teams that play teams composed of mem- bers of other chapters. Canton High Future Farmers of America is un- der the very capable leadership of Mr. C. M. Stitzel. Here's Wishing you F.F.A. members a bright future with the best of luck! 1944-45 OFFICERS President .........., .......................,,......... ...... . B lake Fengel Vice President .,.... ......

R a y Fengel T431 Cgiqlzfk Gfzzzzuaf Gfnmfeur Show On Wednesday, February 21, the Senior Class presented its Eighth Annual Amateur Show. During the evening the able mistress of cere- monies, Pernila Junell, presented 13 acts, all of which were really swell',. In fact they were all so good that when it came to picking our favorites we had a pretty tough time. We hope you didn't forget the winners but just in case-first place went to Pat Izard, who sang an original composition by Shirley Haugha- wautg second place to the boys' quartet, and third place to Charlotte Buchen. And to top off a perfectly wonderful show, our last year's first place winner, Jack Cox, entertained us with several impromptu cornet solos. Yes, he played 'flohnsonas Ragv. As an after thought, a tidy sum was realized for that best-ever pub- licaton, the 1945 CANTONIAN. Luzior lass Une-Gfcf gyfay ,CJ-Zsfivaf On April 4th, the Junior Class will sponsor two one-act plays in the Little Theatren. We expect these comedies to be two' more of the successes which always result under the capable direction of our Public Speaking teacher, Mr. Snively. The cast of one of the plays, The Trysting Place includes Arvelyn Welch, Louise Blakely, Peggy Weitkamper, Ed Manny, Jim Woods, Bob Whitemore, and Dean Carson. The other equally delightful play, Rich Man, Poor Mann, will have in its cast Barbara Mummert, Leona Norsig- ian, Martha Ellis, Estella Schnell, Mary Dell Noel, Barbara Wilson, June Ann Michaelson, Norma Van Winkle, Nellena Horton, Jack Oberholt- zer, and Gene Shaw. Good luck, Juniors! We'll also be looking for you next year in your Senior Class Play. f44l Mr. jfefric jdilzqmazz For our excellent music department, We must give credit to Mr. Ket- ric Klingman, our music director. He is that cheerful man you see who can always give out with a good joke at a moment's notice. We must mentally applaud his marvelous Work in the past and his continuation of it. Credit is due him for those peppy performances of the band at football and basketball games and the various performances of the Glee Clubs in contests and recitals. In spite of all this work, he is Song Leader of the Rotary, Director of the Methodist Church Choir, Director of the G.S.O. Chorus, and Director of the Y.M.C.A. Glee Club. He also teaches after school and coaches contestants. He seems to find time for his hob- bies, regardless of his many duties, and this year confesses he was quite interested in gardening, raising brocolli, brussel sprouts, Chinese cabbage, and vegetables you never even heard of. Another favorite pastime of his is coaching his small daughter in voice. Very well liked by all, he can always be counted upon to do a splendid job. U51 GIRLS, CONTEST GLEE CLUB Ist row: L.

Those strutting, high stepping girls can make any band look like something. Baton twirling and the assortment of acrobatics that go with it is as much an art, if not more, than playing any instru- ment in the band. Try strutting high steps and swirling a baton at the same time for a mile and you'll find it's no easy feat by a long shot. The drum majorettes work hard to perform for you as well as to add color to the band and to school affairs in which the band takes part. Hail to the naajorettesl U81 1 , BP 6 vii lst row: L.

These organizations play a big part in providing entertainment for school occasions beside their activities in contests and festivals. The County Band Festival, held in February, was made up of bands from all over the county matched together playing group numbers as well as each band playing individually. The Mixed Chorus entered the County Chorus Festival held at Lewistown and a Concert was sponsored by the A.A.U.W. in April in which the Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Glee Clubs participated. The Glee Clubs enter the State Contest held in April. The Band plays on Armistice Day and also takes part in the Santa Claus Parade. It plays at all football games, performing at the half. A special feature of the band and the baton twirlers. Wherever you find the band you will find them, too, dressed in their uniforms, looking pert and snappy. This performance is also repeated at basketball games later in the school year. Along with the baton twirlers you will find the color bearers. They, too, are also an important feature of the band. An old custom of Canton is to have the Girls, Glee Clubs sing Christ- mas carols in Jones Park every year. This custom is always carried out faithfully and well. The preliminary trials for contests are held during the winter. Many ensembles and soloists enter these besides the glee clubs. Constantly during the year ensembles and soloists are called upon to appear before different civic groups. The best feature of all for the members of the Music Department is weiner roasts held during the year.

Equipped with shining teeth, sound health, bewildered minds, and brains unhampered by exposure to education, we prepared to baffle our teachers with little bursts of wit and wisdom. But alas! it was we, not they, who shuddered at the weird little jokes of homework, tests, and exams. Now, having plowed through all this with a courage and fortitude reminis- cent of Columbus on his first voyage to the New World, we have been granted the privilege of receiving a scroll inscribed Hnished. As we are now women of wisdom and gentlemen of genius despite all this mental and physical training, the world in general shall soon view our talents. Some of us, however, are already displaying our abilities for Uncle Sam, and the rest of us will indeed think of those others when Commencement night rolls around. Bob Kelly was our manager in this business of being Seniors, and Pat Shields, Pernila Junell and Chuck Hammond were his able assistants. Furthermore, with the kind help of Mr. Zeigler and Mrs. Jenkins, we were able to keep on an even keel. U31 f G. Bobzin R. Francis G. Svob ell B. Lambert GLENN BOBZIN ........

Only a flip of the wrist will do the trick, and you'll not regret it! And so it goes, another Junior class have as- sumed their responsibilities as upperclassmen. With Gene Shaw, assisted by Leonard Watson, Lavore Harland, Barbara Mummert and the advisors, Miss Anders, Miss I-Iolley and Mr. Medus, to guide them through the year, they have helped put over the bond drives and entertained the Seniors at the an- nual Prom, as Well as successfully completed the numerous other little tasks that came their Way. So now we, the Senior class, entrust a perfectly good position in C.H.S. to these folks, Who, if their past record is to be considered, will take good care of it, we know. i693 clflirff , .M-ffi, L' , I r -75 ROLL ROOM 3 lst row: D.

U21 DEAN NEGLEY, President LOUISE LACEY, Vice-President DONNA OAKS, Secretary GERALD WILLIAMS, Treasurer SUIOAOYIZOVES Well, look Who's here! The Sophomores! But where is that green' look so apparent eighteen months ago? Why, it's all gone, and instead, some very much Hman-of-the-World' expressions have taken its place. Surprise? We've seen it happen before, just one of the Worldis minor miracles. So now these up-and-coming young people are ready to shoulder the responsibility of being upper- classmen? We think so. Never very shy, we,re certain that they will overcome all obstacles in their path with the same assurance that marks them now. Dean Negley heads these gals,' and guys, with Louise Lacey, Donna Oaks, and Gerald Wil- liams sharing star billing. Mrs. Stutsman and Mr. Gentry supply capable direction.

His fine intelligence and willingness to work made him a favorite of the facultyg his friendly, democratic spirit and sunny ways made him a favorite of the students and his integrity of character made him a high favorite of everyone who met him. His tragic death brought sorrow to the entire community, but that here at C.H.S. he is missed most is proved by the many times his name is heard on the lips of those whose lives he had touched. He will be remembered long and lovingly by those who Worked, played and lived with him in the brief years allotted to him. U91 1st row: N. Bair, J. A. Baldock, M. Boyer, S. Bowman, J. A. Bohannon, V.
