Here it lies in the heartland of America, stretching away mile on mile, an inland sea of fertility. To some it may seem common place, to those whose home it is, the corn- belt is ever changing in its beauty. In the spring the farmers, mounted on their tractors, drag plows across the face of the land, turning up to the sky great, black clods of rich loam. Then they bring the harrows, pulverizing the clods to a fine, dark powder and then the corn planters, pouring into the soil the golden grains of seed corn. Soon green creeps over the fields. The corn is coming up! As summer deepens, a miracle occurs. Exposed to blazing suns, violent thunder storms and hot, moist nights, the corn grows until it towers high above the puny man who planted it. The wind blows through its stiff, green leaves and they rustle with a murmur not unlike that of the sea. August with its golden, mellow sunshine comes. The corn begins to turn to russet. Fall is here now. The corn is brown and sear. It rattles as the wind blows across the fields. Again the farmers come, some with mechanical cornpickers which tear the golden hearts from stalks, leaving them tattered and torn, some to build ragged tepees for the ghosts of Indians to haunt. The cycle is complete. The corn- belt has once again yielded up its treasure to feed a hungry world. MISS ANDERS ' MR. METZGER We Dedicate This Book To Miss Marjory Anders and Mr. William Metzger Who, as Junior advisors of our class, gave generously of their time, introduced useful ideas, and Worked right with the students in making the 1948 prom one of the best, to these friends of the students, We the class of 1949 do dedicate this Cantonian. We wish to thank them for their many helping Ways and for making our high school years a little brighter and a little more memorable. A 1? X W :EW ir. x-ms? ' sv' ' XW .

Things begin to pop, and I do mean pop, when Eve learns that her Aunt Angela, who is supposedly sending her to college, is coming to visit her. To add to the excitement, Eve's room-mate, Bona Lynn, discovers that her brother is coming to visit Bona. Garret Lynn, Bona's brother, brings a friend along on business. His friend, Victor Ward, tears his pants and has to re- main in the girls' apartment while Garret goes out to have the trousers mended. Meanwhile, Bessie Rhodes, the landlady, Hazel Miles, Aunt Angela, Gifford Morton, and Stevie Cobb, the elevator boy, wander in the apartment at just the right time to catch Victor there without his pants and dressed in a girl's bathrobe. Then, unexpectedly, Marshall Ward, Victor's father, appears on the scene. He had to bring the right brief case, as Victor took the wrong one. After much more of the same hilarity, which keeps the audience in hysterics, the play comes to a happy ending for all. The swell group of seniors who helped to make this play outstanding were: Victor Ward ..................................

The class of '51 provides the tops in pep and energy and is great for laughs and entertainment. Wforking as only 11 great cooperative team would toil, our team has already marched to high goals, yet now we are prepared to strike a new altitude in the various fields of our school. Kinzer and Colbert are out front in sports, while Harkless keeps the brain cells burning. Not forgetting our cheerleaders, who unceasingly arouse our spirit, it is easy to say that they are the very best. Then, too, you will Hnd three fine musicians-Andrews, Kuchan, and Gentry. Might We conclude by saying: There can never be found a group more filled with sparks of life than the wonderful individuals in our own Sophomore class. -DANNY XVALTERS l Front Row: B. A.

Rapp The Board of Education is the organization which closely joins the school with the community. One of the main duties of this board is to determine the policies of the school. They also have the difficult problem of providing buildings and other facilities to meet the growing needs of the community. Frequently a member is contacted by a school patron, who conveys to them wishes concerning the functioning of the school. These people have a very important obligation in a community, because of the growing importance of education, and in our community they are certainly doing a fine job. X M r.

Our 1948 Track Season Under Coach George Mathis, direction, Canton again developed a track team which was regarded with great respect in the Peoria area. With twelve of last year's lettermen gone, newcomers were brought up with the result that Canton defeated Lewiston and East Peoria in dual meets, finished second in a quadrangular meet with Peoria Central, Springfield, and East Peoria, finishing third in the colorful Geneseo Relays, fourth in the District meet at Peoria and was barely nosed out by Pekin in the Illini conference meet. Dick Coleman along with Jack Pensinger in the pole vault and high jump respectively, won the right to participate in the State Finals at Champaign. Coleman broke the all-time school record in the pole vault, going twelve feet five inches. Spread the word to look out for Canton next year because half of this year's varsity were freshmen and sophomores. These same under- classmen ran off with the Illini frosh-soph meet at Kewanee.

Our 1948 Cross Country Record In its third year at C.H.S., cross country is still gaining popularity. It is an excellent conditioner for basketball and track and also .provides a competitive sport for many boys. This year the team had a dual meet with Galesbur, a triangular with Kewanee and Galesburg, and placed third at the Illini and fourth at the District. Sophomore Leonard Bolen advanced to the State Meet and gained 34th place out of 96 runners. Our new coach, Mr. Wildniaii, thinks that several of the boys have definite possibilities of developing into fine distance runners in the next couple of years and we know the whole school will be pulling for them.

In Coach Harry Smith's first year at the helm of our baseball team, our Little Giants came up with a very presentable record of seven wins and seven losses. The 1948 schedule was one of the longest and one of the toughest in Canton High history. We were eliminated in the district finals by Peoria Spalding, a team which later advanced to the State finals. Next year many new faces will be seen on the Giant nine because of the graduation of these senior varsity men: Buck Ball, Byard Cox, Dick Jones, Bob Mace, Jerry Conner, Allen Shaw, Gordon Westerfield, Bob Williams, Don Beazley, and Don Richardson. 1948 RECORD C.H.S. 2 ,...... ...,., P ckin 1 C.H.S. 6 ..,..... .........

Our 1948 Varsity Football Season Our new coach, Mr. Buckner, found a tough job confronting him in his first football season at C.H.S. With only a couple of boys having any varsity experience to speak of last year, he virtually had to build a new team. He started the season with 8 juniors and 3 seniors in the line- up. After taking a 24-0 beating from a more experienced Manual eleven, our Little Giants improved into a really tough ball club. Each team we played, knew they had been in a ball game. Going into the Farmington game, we carried a 4 and 4 record. A touchdown in the last minute of play defeated our principal rival and we considered our season at least a partial success. Next year, our players should bring C.H.S. its finest grid team of all time. Good luck, fels. 1948 SCORES Canton Cuba 0 Canton Macomb 0 Canton Manual 24 Canton ........ ........

Our 1948 Football Lettermen CASSON--URCCP, was one of our hard- running halfbacks playing his second year as a regular. A fiery competitor, he'll be sorely missed next year for he is a senior. VAN SICKLE- Van was our regular fullback this year. A very hard runner who caused his opponents many a head- ache, he will be sorely missed next year for he is a senior. Cook- Bill finished his third year as regular center. A big, bruising line- backer, he gained All-State Mention as a junior and was awarded the Junior Chamber of Commerce trophy as the most valuable player of the year. Bill graduates this year. HEDDEN-BUYDCIC was a senior guard who was handicapped in early season by injuries. Although small, he was a powerful blocker. CHAMPLIN-uBOb,, was a senior guard used as a linebacker. A fine tackler who always got his man. A tough man to replace. HUDsoN- Kenny was one of our jun- ior tackles. He was a rough charger who broke up many plays because of his smashing style. WHITE- ChuCk,, was our regular right half this year. A very hard runner who also handled the punting. Chuck has great possibilities since he is only a junior. LEEK- Willie was a fighting guard who was always in the opponent's hair. Since he is a junior he'll return for an- other great year. Caxnosl-- Junie was our clever, all round signal caller who also shared the defensive duties. Junior also returns next year. BOGARTTuB0giC,, ably took down an end Dosition. Because of his great shoe- string tackles nobody circled his end. Another one of our tough juniors. CANTONIAN Top Row: I.. Hagen, D. Larson, R. Heppenstall, A. Alig, R. Carmack. Bottom Row: jr. Pintar, J. Polich, E. Walker, J. Tometich. Our 1948 Football Letterman HAGEN- Lou was a reserve tackle who was on par with our regular tackles. A junior, he was always ready to get in there. LARSON- Swede called our line sig- nals this year. A rugged guard who was tough to move, anytime. Don is a junior who should help lead the way next year. HEPPENSTALL- Hepp was a marked man all year because of his great pass snagging. Bob is a junior end of whom much is expected next year. ALIG-Allen was a regular end at the start of the season but was sidelined with a shoulder injury. He came back rapidly and will return for another year of competition. CARMACK- Bobby was small but mighty. On defense he was a rugged end and on offense he was a speedy scatback. Bob is a junior. PINTAR- Junior was the fastest man on the squad this year. He gave every- thing he had when called upon. Junior will also return next year for a regular halfback spot. POLICH- Jim was our reserve quar- terback who was used mostly on de- fense. Another man to earn a letter in his junior year. WALKER- Gene was a tangy end who handled offense and defense equal- ly well. He is a junior who will be in there fighting for a berth next year. TOMETICH- Jim was a junior tackle who was as hard to move as a block of granite. He'll be a valuable asset next year because of his size and experience. Front Row: C. Clark, C. Colbert, J. Moore, G.

Our great quality is our never-say- die spirit, quoting the words of our assistant coach, Harry Smith. These words were very decisively proved in the semi-finals of the regional tournament when we met the sky- scraping Valley Vikings. Our Little Giants fought like we have seen no other team fight in the Alice Ingersoll Gym, but the Vikings were not to be denied on this particular night when they could do nothing wrong and we were eliminated from the regionals. We lost some tough games this year and at the same time our fighting Giants pulled some big upsets. We think Mr. Buckner has done a swell job and with the experience gained this year our determined athletes should next year have a really rugged team in anybody's company. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Junior Varsity basketball gives an extra chance to play to some boys and at the same time develops players for future teams. Our J-V team as well as our sophomore team and our freshman squad all compiled very en- viable records this year. 1948-49 BASKETBALL SCORES Canton 27 .............,., Lewistown 25 Canton 45 ...,............

Bottom Row: R. Fouts, C. Yerbich, T. Strode, J. Tometich, C. White, P. Burton. Our 1948-49 Basketball l.ettermen CARDOSI--Chuck was our senior pivot man. He contributed greatly to our scoring and rebounding and will be remembered by his tricky hook shot. A great team player. CASSON-Ronnie Was always in the thick of the fight. He was our best dribbler and one of the fastest men on the squad. Ronnie leaves a pair of big shoes to fill. HEPPENSTALL--Bob was one of our juniors who really developed in the last year. His great rebound- ing and team play were outstanding. He'll be very valuable next year. LARSON-Donnie fought his way into a regular guard spot after starting as a reserve. His cool floor play and rebounding really helped the team. Don should be one of our leaders next year. PINTAR-Junior was another man who started out as a reserve and ended the season as a regular. His speed and long shots were real assets. He'll be back fighting next year. COOK--Bill was always ready when called upon. He started several games and was always hard to stop because of his hard driving. Bill will also graduate this year. 68 FOUTS-Dick was another senior who started a good many games. He could always be depended on to ' come through in the clutch. Dick's ball-handling and shooting ability will be missed next year. YERBICH-Chuck was one of our biggest men. He was a good shot and rebounder and showed his bas- ketball sense in the games he started. His size and ability will be missed next year. STRODE-Ted was the smallest man on the squad this year, but a real scrapper. He always turned in a good floor game and could really hit the bucket. We're sure he'll be heard from for he's only a iunior. TOMETICH-Jim saw a lot of action this year in a pivot spot. His size made him a really rugged man in controlling the bankboards. If he continues to develop he'll be a tough man to stop next year. WHITE-Chuck was one of our reserve forwards who could always add a spark when needed. He was fast and a hard driver when he got his hands on the ball. His all around ability will help to carry us to greater heights next year. BURTON-Paul became eligible the second semester and was soon fighting for a position on the varsity. With his speed and fight Paul will be a valuable man next year. Front Row: C. Colbert, R. Lindsey.

Our Archery Club The Archery Club has been taking on many new activities under the capable leadership of Mrs. H. E. Jones, their advisor, who is new this year. Mrs. jones has certainly done a swell job. For instance, a float entered in the homecoming parade, took second prize. There was also a bang-up candy sale. More of these are planned for the spring. Practices and business meetings were held on Wednesday evenings after school. When the weather would not permit shooting, the mem- bers were kept busy repairing equipment. The fine group of officers who work with the twenty-one members of the Archery Club are: President, Wilma Spainhourg Vice-President, Margaret Bybeeg and Secretary-Treasurer, Eula Lee Liddle. 71 mi CANTONIAN Our Girls' Athletic Association The Canton G.A.A. belongs to the Illinois State League of High School Girls' Athletic Associations. Under this state organization the girls earn points for awards in athletic activities. If a girl is a member four years, she can earn four letters, the 600-point, small C , 1200- point, large C , 1600-point Hrst state award I and 2000-point second state award, state emblem or map of Illinois. The first awards are local colors, but the state awards are blue and White. Points are earned by participating in after school practices in sports, health, skill tests, and meetings. Intramural tournaments were held this year in softball, volleyball, bowling, basketball, badminton, and table tennis. Chairmen of these respectively were: Wilma Spainhour, Lucille Coleman, Clela Mayberry, Joanne Parlier, Jean Millington, and Beverly Anderson. Other activities of the G.A.A. this year were: a buddy hike, penny carnival, initiation, ice skating, and picnic in the spring of this year. Members also participated in telegraphic tournaments in bowling and basket shooting. The officers of the Girls' Athletic Association were: President, Janice Cook, Vice-President, Virginia Kuderg Secretary, Lois Picton, Treasurer, Marilyn Raskauskas, and Reporter, Shirley J. Parker. All in all, the G.A.A. has helped to promote an interest in athletics for the girls of Canton High. So here's to a swell organization. B. XVintcr, B. A. Anderson, S. Rutherford, M. Dabney, Gibbs. Now I ask you- Just what would a ball game be without some peppy cheerleaders?', Yep, you're right-very flat! Well, we here at good ole', Canton High are very lucky, for we have just that-three groups of the peppiest, prettiest gals you Could ever ask for. They are the gals that keep our morale soaring-if and when it needs a boost. We are all very proud of our cheerleaders. How's about three cheers for these wonderful folks? Here they are: VARSITY!

Champlin. a We can all be very proud of our intramural program this year because state officials have ranked it second only to Galesburg in the Whole state of Illinois. The boys will attest to this for they enter the competition with the zeal and spirit of varsity athletes. Basketball rates first with the boys, with six teams in the senior league, ten teams in the junior league, and six teams in the bus league where there is a keen natural rivalry. The basketball season is highlighted each season by a game between the champion-- ship team of each league and an all-star team selected from the same league. The all- star games are usually played before regional or sectional tournament games. Flag football is also very popular. It is called flag football because each boy has a flag under his belt and instead of tackling the ball carrier, the players jerk his flag from his belt to stop his progress. A new feature of this year's program has been the presentation of medals to the boys most proficient in the different aquatic sports, such as swimming, life saving, and the different types of dives. Much credit is due to Mr. Metzger for his hard work in keeping Canton sports at the top. -4...

Although We think of this or- ganization as one primarily concerned with high scholarship,'this is not the only basis on which prospective members are chosen. The four qualifications by which a member is selected are scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Approximately one-third of this group was chosen shortly before the end of last year, while the remaining two-thirds were invited to join at the beginning of the second semester this year.

This year's Latin Club began the school year with something entirely new to its members. They immediately began making plans to take a trip to Chicago. On October 30, thirty-two students made the journey to visit the planetarium and listen to a lecture on the constellations. The remainder of the day was spent at the Museum of Science and Industry, where among other things the students saw a model of the Appian Way. The Latin Club officers, President, John Carl Myers, Vice-President, jack Andrews, Secretary, Betty Lou Keetsg Treasurer, Eleanor Harney, along with their very able Advisor, Mrs. Helen Clark, have planned a very interesting year. A Homecoming float was decorated by the organ'- ization, and plans are being discussed for a Roman banquet to be held in the spring. All students who have had one or more years of Latin are eligible to join, consequently the Latin Club usually has a large and energetic group. Front Row: C. Parlier, M. Foote, B. Ellsworth, N.

Beverly Bowman, le President, Nancy Coultas, le Vice President, and Janice Spyres, le Secretaire-Tresoriere, were the ones elected. The motto, 'tNoblesse Oblige, was carried out by sending a CARE package to a young university student in France, and by donating to the Save the Children Federationf' Keeping the reputation for delicious candy, Le Cercle Francais held a bonbon sale in October. An extra five hundred sacks of candy would have been readily sold. Dining A la Francaise was enjoyed by everyone. Beginning with a breakfast, petit dejeuner, followed by a luncheon, dejeuner, and ending with a dinner, diner were the highlights of the year. Realizing the great expense of the gold French Club pins, the mem- bers this year wore replicas of the coat of arms of the Ile de France. These pins have three golden fleur de lis embroidered on a blue silk back- ground topped with the words, Cercle Francais , the outside is red. Bonne Chance to Le Cercle Francais!

Under the leadership of President Roland Strawn, Vice-President Connie Rodgers, Secretary Merle Pettet, and Treasurer Lois Griffin, and the able guidance of Mr. L. Bryan Gentry, Advisor, the club has been very active this year. The club's activities have included a banquet at the Elks' Club and a weiner roast which were greatly enjoyed by those present.

This is a short conversation between two Canton High students about the school paper, The Pennant, which not only includes the news and happenings of high school students, but also of the Junior High, the alumni, and the faculty. Under the capable instruction of Mrs. Hagbom, The Pennant has become one of the major interests of C.H.S. students. Members of the Journalism class alternate as editor of this paper. Four pages is the average length of The Pennant, but sometimes six pages are printed. Remember! Don't borrow a Pennant, buy one! 84 Standing: Beverly Bertrand, M. N. Harp. -I.

Hello, again, this is station CHS bringing you another in its series of talks on Canton High clubs. Today we are going to tell you about the F.H.A.-What!! You mean to tell us you don't know what the F.H.A. is? Well, then I guess we will have to do a little cxplainin'. Since we have Future Farmers, we must also have Future Homemalcers-sounds logical, doesn't it? This was the first year for the organiza- tion in Canton High and under the leadership of our most capable advisor, Mrs. Edith Bramble, we elected our officers and set up the constitutions for our clubs. Since some of the girls are unable to attend meetings the fourth hour, there is also a sixth hour group. The officers for the fourth hour 86 group are as follows: President, Emma Lou Shumakerg Vice- President, Helen Littleg Secretary, joan Schertzg Treasurer, Peggy Howard. Sixth hour group officers are: President, Pat Horvathg Vice-President, Sue jarnaging Secretary, Shir- ley Terpeningg Treasurer, Marilyn Kaiser. We chose for our theme, From Dreams Toward Reality, and our meetings try to point out the jobs and satisfaction of homemaking. Our colors are red and white, the American Beauty Rose is the club flower, and we have meetings twice a month. We think most of the girls will agree with us that the F.H.A. is a must. First Row: R.

The purpose of this club is to create interest in dramatics in Canton High and to stimulate the interest of the community at large in dramatic activities. The Dramatics Club has a large membership who participated in, or are affiliated with, a class play or the speaking chorus. One of its principal projects this year was the Christmas play entitled, Bang Goes Christmasf' A good part of the participants of this play were members of the club, but a few new faces from the under-classes made their first appearance on the Canton High dramatic scene. This play was directed by the club,s very able president, Bob Nidiffer, special help coming from the advisor, Miss Coty, who has guided the club to a very successful beginning. Bob shared a good deal of the responsibilities of the club with his fellow officers: Jerry Howard, Vice-President, Joyce Robinson, Sec- retary, John Smith, Treasurer, and Barbara Bertrand, Reporter. In its first year the Dramatics Club has done a great deal for our High School. They have started something new in Canton High, and we hope they will keep up the good work. Good luck and may you have a long life as a C.H.S. club! CANTONIAN 'Q' I , . First Row: D. Quick, L. Kramer, R. Kruse, R. Cleer, Edward Reinholtz, R. Burnham, C. Chapman, E. Duke, C Hollis, C.

Our Future Farmers The purpose of this national organization is to further its members' interest in agriculture. It attains this goal by sending its members to judging contests, annual grain and poultry shows, and livestock exhibits in Illinois as well as in other parts of the United States. The Future Farmers of America also sponsors many recreational events including Weiner roasts, Father and Son banquets, and has its own basketball team which participates with F.F.A. teams of other schools. The club's officers are: President, Dean Nelson, Vice-President, Leslie Kramer, Secretary, Ronald Carver, Treasurer, Lloyd Wagesg and Reporter, Junior Schenck. Our F.F.A. members always bring home the bacon in judging con- tests, oratory and basketball, so itis easy to see how Worthwhile the club is. 88 'FUI' I'Il I'l'RIi'-rIlollom Now: Jalnes XYIiymIe. Ii.

CANTONIAN Our Music Department This year Canton High School should be very proud of its music department, which is under the direction of Mr. Ketric Klingman. The band, under Mr. Klingmanis able direction, was honored by being chosen as the best playing band in a contest on the campus at Normal this year. Also, for the Hrst time in many years the band has en- tered in the district music contest at Farm- ington. Other groups entered in this con- test included both the mixed and girls' glee clubs and also vocal and instrumental en- sembles and solos. Those participants who received a first division rating in that con- test were eligible for the state music contest for Class B schools, which has held here on April 29 and 30. All the music groups had a very active year. The band, besides doing such a splen- did job playing at the football and basket- ball games, participated in the Fulton County Band Festival held February 14 in the Alice Ingersoll Gymnasium. The Mixed Chorus participated in the County Chorus Festival in Farmington, March 29, while both the Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Glee Club presented their annual concert in the Christian Church this spring. In passing out bouquets for such splen- did work, we must not forget the freshman chorus, which Mr. Klingman says is the best one he has ever had. They have been sing- ing some very difficult music and will un- doubtedly supply the music department with some excellent voices during the next three years. No story of the music department would be complete without some mention of our soloists who carried the banner of C.H.S. to new glory. In piano there were ,lim Kuchan and Nancy Coultas, in boys' vocal, Ronnie Casson, Dick Johns, Vic- tor Stavroulakis, David Greer, and Wilbur' Carlton, and in girls' vocal, Emma Lou Shu- maker, Barbara Paschal, Charlotte Scalf and Ellen Greenbank. All of us around Canton High extend our heartiest congratulations to Mr. Kling- man and his music department for another very successful and active year!

These questions have a familiar ring to every high school student who has had any occasion to use the Canton High School Library. They are the questions of those very efficient librarians who devote considerable time to serving the student body. Sixteen student helpers make up the members of our present library staff. Their daily tasks consist of keeping records, taking care of overdue books and the constant straightening up of the shelves. Our library has subscribed to forty-four magazines and three newspapers. There have also been over two hundred new books added for this school year. Although these have been furnished for the students' benefit, it means considerable work for the librarians. Due to the increased use of our library in Common Learnings courses, as well as reading done in English, Social Sciences and other classes, it has been necessary to have the library open in the morning and at noon before classes take up, and again after school. This means that the librarians must devote much of their free time to give constant and efficient service to the students. The present officers are: Glenda Rawls, President, Joanne Parlier, Vice-Presidentg joan Mc- Ginnis, Secretary, and Janet Wormser, Treasurer. The librarian staff is under the supervision of Miss Ruth Cagley, the capable school librarian. 97 Ifront Row: D. Kuchan, R. Casson. S. Peterson, S. Sandburg. B. Bordner. Second Row: Metzger, B. Roeth. NVell, another year and another Homecoming, but this year it was done up in an extra special way. We think it was the best yet. As usual, Hobo Day was a hectic and entertaining affair, with iudging of the many original and ragged outfits taking place at the general assembly. We heard a few songs from The Andrews Sisters, had a few laughs from the fresh- man initiation, and then got set for the big news of the day. To the satisfaction of all, the Senior King and Queen were announced as Ronnie Casson and Shirley Peterson, and their attendants from the junior class, jack Metzger and Barbara Roeth. Our attention was then drawn to the parade. A bigger and better one has never before made the journey from C.lI.S. to the ball field. The band, school floats, hoboes, and many commercial floats made the trip along with our kings and queens, riding in their beautiful convertible. A flag-football game was the added attraction at the game. After the game with Lewistown, everyone hurried home to get spruced up for the big Homecoming Dance, featur- ing liddie Miller and his Pekin band. As the first strains of the music were sounded, a large crowd of students and 98 alumni gathered and the evening's festivities began. The main event of the dance, of course, was the crowning of the Senior King and Queen by their attendants. Assisting them were the crown bearers, Davie Kuchan and Betsy , Bordner, and the flower girl, Suzanne Sandburg. The gym was gayly decorated in purple and gold with a beautifully decorated throne for our king and queen. During the in- termission of the dance, an exhibition of modern dancing was given by the Arthur Murray Dancing School of Peoria. Everyone who enjoyed himself during that day Cand we're sure everyone didj can Hrst thank Miss Anders and Mr. Zeigler, who directed the entire procedure as the fac- ulty advisors. Next We can thank Gene Taylor, the chair- man of the Homecoming committee. Gene really worked hard and we all think he did a very commendable job. Last, but not least, comes the remainder of the committee, who were Len Kuehan, Barbara Rocth, David Greer, jack Andrews, Joanne Hogan, Ann Raster, and john lfilliS0l'l. XVe fthe Seniorsj think this was the best Homecoming yet, and since it was, we hope that you juniors will improve upon it next year, even so much as to surpass ours. N C fflfyg Obgfff C The scene is the Elk's ballroom. The time, November 24, 1948. The evening is perfect for the dance. The air is cool and crisp, the sky clear and the stars shining brightly. We find the Juniors and Seniors with their gay voices, swishy dresses, colorful corsages, boutonniers, and bright ties, dancing to the smooth music of Willard Binge and his Tophatters of Galesburg. Do we need to tell you that everyone is having a grand time at this gay affair? But parties like this are not successful without planning. Our thanks to Billie Roseboom who headed the refreshment committee, Mary Nell Harp and her committee who were responsible for the invitations, and John Smith and his committee who arranged for the music. To these people we really owe a debt of thanks for a gala evening. Witli memories of pink punch, a room filled with dancing couples and soft music we leave next year's hop to the class of 1950 to enjoy and remember as we shall recall the 1948 hop. 100 Prom lung Len, Prom Queen C.l1arlotte The time was May 14, 1948, the setting, The Love Shop, the sound effects were the music of Ozzie Osborne and his orchestra, and the main characters were the juniors and seniors of Canton High. Wfhat play is this? Wlij' it isn't a play. It's the long anticipated Prom held in the spring with the juniors entertaining the seniors. Promptly at 8:30 P. M., The Love Shop opened and junior class president, Len Kuchan, and his chosen Prom Queen, Charlotte Scalf, entered through the heart-shaped doorway, followed by the rest of the fellas llooking smooth in tlzeir Sunday bestj and their charming heartthrobs. The Love Shop closed all too soon at 11:00 and everyone said goodnight, but it was a night not to be forgotten. Take it from one who was there, it was wonderful! Those to whom we owe our thanks for bringing us such a memorable occasion are: the chair- men of the various committees, Lois Picton and Bob Pittman, decoration, Gene Taylor, orchestra, Elaine Hughes, invitations, their committees, the junior class officers, Len, Mary Nell Harp, Gene Taylor and Catherine Gerhart, and their advisors, Miss Marjory Anders and Mr. XXfilliam Metzger. Some grand people we don't want to forget either were our chaperones: Mr. and Mrs. Medus, Mr. and Mrs. Klingman, Miss Harrison, and Mrs. jenkins. Upperclass Y-Teens Underclass Y-Teens Noon Hour Y-Teens W CAZNTONIAN Our Y-Teens Wfhether you attended the much-anticipated Spring Frolic, bought some delicious home-made candy, or went to an all-school dance spon- sored by the Y-Teens, you probably realize the important part they play in the social activities of many of the girls at Canton High School. It isn't necessary to live in town as the country lasses are included in the activities of the Y-Teens, too. They meet in a special group called the Noon Hour Y-Teens each Wednesday for lunch and a short business meeting. Miss Mary Roberts and Miss Margaret Ferro are their advisors. The officers are: President, Thelma Shaw, Vice-President, Martha Roberts, Secretary, Joanne Lundryg and Treasurer, ,Ioan McGinnis. The Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens, under the advisorship of Miss Barbara Mummert, Miss Louise Blakley, and Mrs. Betty Harjes, meet the Hrst and third Thursdays of each month for a business meeting. Inter- esting and entertaining programs follow the meetings. Officers are: President, Raelene Tinkg Vice-President, Elizabeth Harrg Secretary, Mamie Spotserg and Treasurer, Phyllis McClure. The Junior-Senior group meet the second and fourth Thursdays of the month and have as their advisors Miss Barbara Fleming, Miss Joyce Clark, and Mrs. Carolyn Loy. Some of their activities include Christmas caroling, Penny Potlucks, and guest speakers. Heading this group are: President, Carol Cox, Vice-President, Shirley Spainhourg and Secretary- Treasurer, Marilyn Taylor. l 4 'TYV va, wg Front Row: R. Davis, tl. Culton, D. Brown, M. Rupe, C.

The purpose of all Hi-Y,s is to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. PLATFORM Clean Speech Clean Sports Clean Scholarship Clean Living I hereby subscribe to the purpose of the Hi-Y and agree to abide by the rules of my club and shall endeavor to the best of my ability to live up to its ideals. The Hi-Y's consist of three separate organizations but all have the same purposes and ideals in common. The Alpha is the oldest Hi-Y Club in existence in C.H.S. and Triangle is the youngest.

The three Hi-Y's hold meetings which are comparatively the same. I will use the minutes of the Delta Hi-Y which were taken December 8, 1948. December 8, 1948 Our new advisor, Mr. James Weir, was introduced. David Brown lead the group in the Lord's Prayer and a short devotional period. Roll was called and nineteen members were present. Business of the club was brought before the meeting. Hi-Y basketball was brought up before the members and discussed. It is said that each Hi-Y will have one or more teams and a Hi-Y league be put into operation. Plans for a dance were discussed and refreshments were served. Joe Moore lead in enter- tainment. The meeting was closed by Willard Leek. Secretary, Sam Wright CANTONIAN 'IU D. Greer, L. Kuchan, J. C. Myers, AI. Andrews i HA Message From Khufuu The door slowly opened, and entering a heretofore undiscovered tomb in Egypt came four men. The small chamber into which they ventured was bare, except for a massive sarcophagus, the final resting place of Khufu, an Egyptian king. The four men, an archeologist and his three followers, came upon scientific discoveries, but these are overshadowed by the discovery of a large emerald. The professor is stabbed by Butch in an argument over the possession of the jewel. Then it happens! The heavy stone door closes and all are buried within. Butch and Herman, the villains of the play, are killed by a vapor arising out of the casket, and Ben, an admirable character, is left alone-to die. In a very dramatic scene, Ben returns the emerald to Khufu and the door automatically opens. He leaves the tomb, deserting his selfish, brutal com- panions to rest with their costly emerald. On the nights of February ninth and tenth a group of all male actors, selected from the Dramatics Club, presented this spooky, highly dramatic play along with the Junior Class Play. During March the cast will travel to sectional contest in Macomb and we're sure that they will have success there. Miss Coty, who directed the play, and the entire cast deserve a great deal of credit for their line work. THE CAST Professor Arthur Hardin, Archeologist ,... ,- ,,........

Wriglit. lt's Our World Last October the Coca-Cola Company presented to the Canton High School a large kit containing an unassembled globe. Ralph Craddock, the local manner, made the presentation. Mr. Rapp brought it to the geography department and asked us if we would like to assemble it. The class and teacher cooperated and began the work. There was no cost or obligation to the giver, even the base, brush, and varnish was in the kit. The task was difficult and detailed as every lap had to be Htted so that meridian and longitude lines would meet. Wlien finished, near the end of January, we had a 50-inch globe with more than 5,300 place names on it. These places may be located bv an index which came with the globe, and may be found by name and country, also by latitude and longitude with- in one-degree squares. Most of the assembling was done by Duane Goyen, Evelyn Sherwood, Shirley Bishop, and Elizabeth Miller. The manual work on the base and inside supports, and the varnishing was done by Sam Wright, John Saurbaugh, Bob Nidiffer, and Bob Baylor. At times the whole class helped to support the globe until the flaps had dried sufficiently. So, thanks to the Coca-Cola Company, we now have a 50-inch globe which pro- vides a scientific and comprehensive round map for a round World.
