THE CANTON FLASH SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Not so longago a group of Canton's boys and girls under the general name of freshmen entered Canton High School on Monday, September 7, 1931. Along with the proverbial green we were exceedingly timid. Then came initiation. Somehow we survived the terrible ordeal of rendering the high school song to the student body. With Mr. Winn as sponsor and Nellie Figgins as class president we were able to withstand a lot of knocks and come up smiling. Now at the dawn of a new year, we went a step in advance as sopho- mores. Some of the teachers may have wondered at our being there. But with the careful guidance of Miss Tapley as sponsor and Tody Westhoff as class president, we found our part to do. One thing was that of initiat- ing the freshmen. This year we had one new member, Marjorie Wilson, whom we were glad to have with us. Juniors! ,What a thrill! With Glen Miller as president and 'Mrs. Gloeser as class sponsor, we were bound to have clear sailing. We had two new members: namely, Helen Maddox and Marian Branson. The out- standing event of the year was the presentation of Safety First , on February 16. Now we are Seniors! Glen Miller is president and Mr. Ellis, our class sponsor. New students are Phyllis Bertram, Pauline Clevidence, June Posner, Madeline Baugher, Mary Jo Gruber, and Charles Harrison. This year we have attempted to blaze the trail for the coming classes. At our assembly, we gave a mock school day, striving to give more or less accurate impersonations of the teachers. Other events are the Annual and the Senior Class Play. The time when we must part is not faroff. So here's to you, dear old C. H. S.- Cheerio. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1935, being in our right mind Cin spite of ten- page testsj, and being conscious of the fact that we will soon leave dear old C. H. S., do hereby make our last will and testament and bequeath our possessions and estates as follows: To the Faculty, we leave our impar- tiality and sweetness of disposition, to be used for lightening the burdens of future seniors. To the Board we bequeath the suggestion that they furnish the oncoming Seniors with rocking chairs and cots. ' To the Juniors, we leave all our debts with the wish that they be paid at once. To the Sophomores, we bequeath the editorship of the next Annual, and request that they use the same ingenuity they displayed in the editing of the Snooper. To the Freshmen, we bequeath all the worn-out books in the library, with the desire that they be given a happy home. To the Seventh and Eighth Grades, we leave our dignity and quietness in the halls, with the request that they use it.
