T H E ILLIC HgO n 19 The entire class wishes at this time to extend to Mrs. Dana, Mr. Anketell and all members of the faculty, our sincere thanks and wholehearted ap- preciation for all their help and ad- vice during our four years at Canton High School. It is said that the modern world looks meditatively upon each new crop of graduates, that the outlook for young people is not pleasant and com- paratively simple a thing as it once was. Yet We would not have it any other way. For we know that there is always room for the hard worker and the ambitious. May each and every member of the Class of 1938 find and make his own place in this world of a thousand differences. Stephanie Davis. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION During the latter part of December, the Athletic Association of Canton High School held its annual election. The results were as follows: Presi- dent, E. Tumas, Vice-president, J. Thompson, Secretary, R. Cad- digang Treasurer, E. Patriarca. The topics discussed were the award for football lettermen and it was decided to continue with the plan previously used. The plan was that letters were awarded according to the number of periods that one partici- pated in a game. If a boy played in one quarter of the total number periods he was awarded his letter football. Sweaters were awarded to all senior boys who participated in seven periods. The Athletic Association was a pro- nounced success with football and basketball as the outstanding sports of the year. The annual athletic banquet was held at the Town Hall in January. Awards and presentations were made to Lyons, Mr. Donovan, and members of the different athletic teams. A more detailed account ol' the suc- cess of our athletic teams may be found under other sport features. of in Elizabeth Tumas. CLASS SONG We-'re drawing to an end, Those days of merriment, We'll live in memory among our high school days. Some papers or a book, A smile where e'er you look, We see the end of times that were so dear and gay. We've tried our very best To win this great success, We may achieve great fame An honor to remain, We'll wander far apart, And know not where you are, We find some happy thoughts among our high school days. The class of thirty-eight, Who did appreciate, Your guidance and your help through- out the many years. We leave you with sad hearts, And as the seniors pass, We wish to thank you for your interest on our part. And as the years go past, We'll try to make them last, The honors and ideals For which our class has strived, And as the end is here, We find our motto clear, Knowledge is power to aid in the onsetting hours. Corinne E. Hallett '38, Ernest Patriarca '38. Tune: Among My Souvenirs
