nj sp .... gNggTHEECHOm -- STATISTICS Station C. H. S. broadcasting the latest and most interesting news flashes, sponsored by the Canton High School, Class of 1938. Your announc- er has been elected as the unfortunate one to compile the statistics, little re- alizing at the time, all the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divis- ion that this large class of intelligent students would require. Settle back in your easy chairs and be prepared for the results of the most exciting election ever held. Fin- ally, after weeks of discussing, nom- inating and campaigning, we obtained the results. Jimmy Danahy, by going to bed every night at eight o'clock and get- ting up every morning at seven, gained his six feet two inches, while Louise Silva must have been keeping pretty late hours to attain only her fifty-nine inches. The total height of the class is 305 feet which is over one half of the height of the Washington Monument, while the average height is five feet, four inches. Wescott Shaw has been preparing his diet which helped him reach his 200 pounds to give to Edith Nason who is quite interested in how to in- crease her 105 pounds. Butch Lapenus might have given Edith this advice, only I think he must have lost that ten pounds in the Atlantic Ocean on the way to New York. Now the fish are getting fatter and are won- dering who that kind soul was. The total weight of the class is 7501 pounds and the average is 134 pounds. Lapenus has the honor of covering the most ground with his size 11 shoes and he says that he got them from covering the most ground at the Links On the other hand Freda Ulman and Marguerite Lynch can slip their Cinderella feet into size four and four and one-half. No wonder shoe stores are going out of business. Augie Decenibrile, who hands out advice to the girls, has been collecting it for nineteen whole years and now has the honor, in our class, of having lived for the longest time. Mary Pavidis has survived for sixteen whole years, ending up with a head full of knowledge. The total age of the class is 961 years, which is just 515 years before Christopher Colum- bus discovered us. The average age is 17 years. The vote for the most popular girl went to Emily Fraccalireg while Paul Whitty holds the title of being the most popular boy. The best looking people of our class are Joe Gecewicz, Nancy Grover and Jackie Broderick. All that noise you are hearing over the radio now isn't staticg it's just Emily Fraccalire pulling Ernie Pat- riarca's hair and Helen MacLeod and Didi Paul trying to separate them. These people have the honor of being the noisest members of our class. In contrast to the just-mentioned turmoil we see the quietest members, Wilder Kelle, Lysander Kemp and Ella Schmeider sitting in a secluded corner. Ella is also our most bash- itll and Raymond Goss our bashful oy. The perfect lady and gentleman of our class are Stephanie Davis and Wilder Kelle, who will be sent gold medals through the mail for their efforts. Our best truckers and Susie Q'ers are Emily Fraccalire, Tut D'Attan- iasio and Joe Gecewicz who go right to town when they hear Benny Good- man's Swing Club which is our favor- ite radio program. Our favorite movie stars are Clark Gable and Snow White. Dopey had a lot of votes, too. The delightful music you are now hearing is being played by Freda Ul- man, Josephine Sebeika, Wilder Kelle and Wescott Shaw who are our most musical members. No Lombardo isn't getting gagements as he used to. Our most all-round people are Nancy Grover, Helen MacLeod, Joe Gecewicz and Tommy Ronayne. When it's getting dark and creepy and everybody's gone to bed. we see three night owls with great big eyes prowling around by the names of Didi Paul, Augie Decembrile and Tommy Ronayne. In the meantime we see Freda Ulman and Wescott Shaw, the most studious pupils, stay- wonder Guy so many en-
