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-

g.grggA-. . LTOOQF ing up late to do a little extra study- ing of the favorite subject of the class, English. As much as one half like Englishg the other half' dislike it, for it was also voted the most disliked subject. Our class flirt who is always mak- ing eyes at everybody is none other than Nancy Grover, with Marion Cook who is also our class baby com- ing right behind. Then we have a certain tall boy who is always trying to look just so, for a pretty girl who lives in our rival town. He spells his name D-A-N-A-H-Y. He holds the title of class sheik, and right after him follow Paul Whitty and Augie Decembrile. Next on our program are Dr. Emile X. Minninhof and Grandma of the Ozarks, our best actor and actress, Leonard Abramowitz and Lena Bar- baglia, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Col- bert or, in other words, Wescott Shaw and Edith Nason. When we came to voting for our favorite teachers we had quite a lot of competition but finally Miss Pease, Miss Leary and Mr. Donovan won the most votes. Our Romeo and Juliet are blushing, and they ought to be, because Jimmy Danahy and your statistician were voted the most romantic boy and girl. Paul Whitty wasn't very far behind. For four years two people have tried very hard to obtain the honor of being the most conceited boy and girl but no one got the sole honor because the votes were tied for Paul Whitty and yours truly, with Nancy Grover and Leland Hiltz coming in second. As for the best sport, Jimmy Champion Igo claims the title. Helen MacLeod, Joe Gecewicz and Jimmy Igo are certainly keeping in trim because to them is awarded the honor of' being the most athletic. Our heart-breakers who need but one glance to break your heart are our fair-headed young lad and lover of' the senior play, Elmer Dana, and sophisticated Emily Fraccalire with Paul Whitty and yours trulv having a close second vote. ECHO g g gzri Our most serious students are Lysander Kemp, Stephanie Davis, Freda Ulman and Wilder Kelle. It is said that b-l-u-f-f-e-r spells bluffer but that is not so, it spells Leland Hiltz and Bozo Kelleher, who both received a great number of votes in that field. Bea Maddocks has entered into competition with Delores Del Rio for being the best dressed girl and Nelson Huntsman has put Adolph Menjou to shame by being voted our best dressed boy. Elmer Dana, Leonard Abramo- witz and Corinne Hallett lost by only a few votes. We never know what Jimmy Igo and Midge Estey are going to do next for they were voted the most surpris- ing girl and boy. fAnd are they sur- prising? OH! BOY lb Our Joe Penner is Ernie Patriarca, and Parkyakarkus, Edward Paul, for they were voted as the class comedi- ans having done a great deal in keep- ing the class in laughter for four wholeyears. Emily Fraccalire, Mary Pavidis and Leonard Abramowitz have done their share in keeping the class in-high spirits with witty say- ings which have given them the titles as being the wittiest. Those cheerful people who are al- ways laughing and happy with noth- ing to worry them are Emily Frac- cahre, Elizabeth McGowan and Jim- my Igo. I wonder what it is that makes them so happy? Mansfield seems to be the answer for Emily. The title holders of being the cutest are Nancy Grover and Julia Ivoskus. Eliirley Temple will have her place a ten. We hope you understand that it is all infun, and that you have enjoyed knowing what the class thinks about you. This concludes the statistics of the Class ol 1938 until we meet again when we can vote on the most success- ful, most happily married and other such interesting data. Your announcer signing off' Elizabeth Turnas.
