The 1 938 FLASH Vol. IV CANTON HIGH SCHOOL Canton, Missouri FOREWORD The Town of Canton has made a great deal of progress during the past four years which span the high school life of the Senior Class of 1938. This edition of the Flash will picture some of the outstanding improvements toward a better community. The three views are of the dam across the Father of Waters which is one mile north of Canton. It is a link in the gigantic program developed by our Federal Govern- ment to restore the river to its place of importance in transporta- tion. We, The Seniors of 1938, wish to dedicate this book, The Flash, to the Parent- Teacher's Association of the Canton Public School. This organization has made it possible for the- band to have new uniforms and are now working to provide money for the purchase of a new cyclorama for the stage. For these services we wish to show our appreciation by this dedication. The activities in which they have co- operated in helping us during the year are: The All-School Fair, a stand in the Lewis County Fair, a Benefit Tea, the sponsoring of a magazine selling campaign, a benefit party. This organization is interested in and promotes those things which provide for our physical, mental, and moral welfare. DEDICATION 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I ! 1 1 CANTON THEATRE The Canton Theatre is one of the newest additions to our community. It is con- sidered one of the finest of its type and size in this part of the state and is certainly a great asset to our town. v ADMINISTRATION H. H. Zenge.

CNo picturej l , H Y u Y wa wx 'l in .14 In ll i F7 I I CLASS PROPHECY As we look to the tomorrow and see through the cities in the clouds, through the glass houses, through the cellophane, we find the Class of '38 scattered to the five corners of the world. Edward Bash we see dashing down the street, riding in a chariot of gold, drawn by sixty beautiful girls, and sitting beside him is his Juliet. Ah, Romeo! Ah, Romeo! Amy Wood, we find is private secretary to that great Radio Sponsor of Best Cake Flour-none other than Prof. J. Russell Ellis. We finally row into Mavis Cline, who is not Cline any longer. She is settled quietly in a cottage small with many-curtains at her windows. Reta Milburn is President of the w0rld's greatest and largest Information Bureau at Washington, D. C. The Bailey and Hagen family are located on a large dairy farm with a. sign out in front saying Horse Doctor and Nurse. What is this? Why it's Edna Bash. with seven feet of hair done up in a knot on her head and black rimmed glasses. She is teacher of What better students wear' and de. Raymond Hays is head of the Strikers Corporation for longer hours and less pay. We find Agnew Hils has achieved fame as Conductor of the C.H.S. Dance Or- chestra playing every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. in the H. S. Gym. Next in line we see Betty Harness with her husband-or should we say husbands- wearing those ultra-modern cellophane clothes. l Well, well, if it isn't Donald Catterall with his television radio station. He wears a mask to keep customers on the air. His fan mail averages 100,000 letters per day. And then there's Doris Baker, now only sixteen inches around the waist and grow- ing thinner every day. She does it by that well-known remedy Exercise, Mildred Barkley and brother, Kenneth, have purchased a plot of' air at S75 an acre, planning to build air castles. Next we find the three Harolds-Richards, Davis, and Keck. They are now Holly- wood's three greatest stooges. Frances Hoffman, Florence Raines, and Donna Gruber run a day nursery, taking care of small children, white mice, and poodle dogs. Pauline Miller and Ruth McCoy run a matrimonial bureau, Cures for Lonely Hearts? Any marriage arranged for 325. As we live and breathe. there's Lloyd Hartwig and Max Bozarth running a training camp for strong bodies made weak in less time. In a glass house we find Caldona Humphrey reclining after an hour of heavyf Torch Singing. About six miles from nowhere we find Theodore Predmore and Marion Risk run- ning a chicken and grain farm. Henrietta Gaines owns her own Pharmacy-serving the kind of ice cream sodas small boys dream about. . And last of all, we find Ann Burrows recuperating from the effects of beingq editor of the Annual of '38. We sincerely hope she recovers. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year 1926 approximately fifty students started their school life in the first grade under the instruction of Miss Pauline Kiess. Of this large number only SEVEN have become Seniors this year. These are Ann Burrows, Amy Wood, Ruth McCoy, Raymond Hays, Agnew Hils. Donald Catterall, and E. G. Bailey. As we advanced to second grade with Miss Leta Schlager as our teacher, we added Pauline Miller, Florence Raines, Lloyd Hartwig, Edna Bash, and Mavis Cline to our number. Our next year was a hard one in which we wrestled with multiplication tables which were taught by Miss Nuhn. We also added at. this time Edward Bash, Harry Hinesley, and Caldona Humphrey. During the next several years, we went steadily on until the year 1932 when we were proud to find ourselves in high school, at least it was Junior High School! And then-Freshmeng and the fun began. Here we lost E. G. Bailey for a year, but added Doris Baker, Mildred Barkley, Kenneth Barkley, Marion Risk, Frances Hoff- man, Harold Davis, Reta Milburn, Henrietta Gaines, Donna Gruber, and also Caldona Humphrey, whom we had lost in the third grade. In our Sophomore year, E. G. Bailey again joined usg while Marion Risk attended another school. to return in his Junior year... In our Senior year, Harold Keck and- Theodore Predmore became members of our class. The Class of 1938 have cooperated with the school in social events such as the' Junior-Senior Banquet and Junior Play, The Tin Hero, which they sponsored in their Junior year. This year, we are editing the Flash, as well as producing our Senior Play, Cyclone Sally. As Seniors, we can look back on our school life as having been a great source of pleasure, together with our scholastic pursuits, and feel that in going out into the world we are stronger because of the splendid guidance that has been given us by the faculty.

In times of our games or in class, May her loyalty be the same: Upholding, protecting, defending, And guarding her honored name. Then here's our H. S. of C. To her may we e'er be true, At home or when we're far away, Let us pay her the tribute due. Her colors of red and of white Fill our hearts with a loyal love, For they stand for the truth and the right, As proudly they wave above.

There were so many boys and girls that year that ha.lf had to come to school in the morning and half in the afternoon. As we went cn through school, we had as teachers, Misses Leta Schlager, Vivian Harryman, Merle Shore, Hallie Katherman, Anna Mae Birch, and Mrs. Brown. Now we are plodding onward to our goal under the leadership of Mr. Raymond Martin, Mr. Albert Brown, and Mr. Ronald Quest.

The team has had an unusually good season, winning eight games, losing three and tying one. This year we lose five girls through graduation: Amy Wood, Mavis Cline, Florence Raines, Caldona Humphrey, and Betty Harness. Much credit should be given our coach, Mr. Brown, for a successful season. GIRLS' BASKETBALL r 1 1 First Row: Mr. Brown, coach, Jean Golden, Jean McClain, Mavis Cline, Margaret K. Bertram, Amy Wood.

The schools that participate in this festival from year to year are divided into classes according to the enrollment throughout the year. Schools with an enrollment of from 1 to 150 are placed in class cg schools with an enrollment of from 101 to 250 are classed as ccg schools with an enrollment of 251 to 750 are classed as bg and an enrollment of 751 or over placed that school in class a. The object, of course, is to place requirements as to music played parallel with the possible proficiency of the organization which in turn is governed by the size of the student body which feeds this music department. Any school could choose the required music of a class above itself but could not compete in its class and play music assigned to a smaller school. Canton High School had an approximate average enrollment. of 175 which placed it in class cc. Those schools with about 75 more students and about 75 less students competed with this class. That places Canton right in the middle of class cc. According to the general rules set up by the national and state joint committee, contestants must be bonafide undergraduate students of the school which they repre- sent and they must be passing in at least three subjects. The Canton High School Music Department tries to regard participation in the annual festival as a reward to the student for faithful work throughout each year. It is the aim of the department to keep the work done up to a high standard. Contestants should represent the best workers that Canton High School can produce. Dead Timber sent from any school cheapens the morale of that school. The system of rating contestants makes for the possibility of one entry to outrank the others, and also for two or more entries practically equal in excellence to receive equal rating. The system of grading is as follows: I, Excellentg II, Superior: III, Goodg IV, Averageg and V. Below Average. Canton High School was represented by both instrumental and vocal groups. The eligible members of the band numbered thirty-one. They appeared in their new attrac- tive scarlet and white uniforms of which everyone is proud. The Band was given a grade of III when they played McCaughey's Field of Honor March and The Calif of Bagdad' by Boieldieu, the latter of which is an overture chosen from the nationalf band list. KIRKSVILLE MUSIC FESTIVAL The Band members are grateful to the Parent-Teachers Association for dressing up the organization in new uniforms and also for making the trip possible. The fact that our Band was uniformed, as were most of the other bands, added to the pleasure of the meet. The largest vocal group that represented Canton High School was a girls' chorus, which contributed what was generally computed as being one of the finest interpreta- tions of Felix Mendelss0hn's Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains, taken from this composer's Oratorio, Elijah. According to the 'judges' comments, a contrasting num- ber might have earned for this group even a higher grade than II-, which is what: they actually received. Three more organizations made the trip besides those above mentioned. They were the girls' quartette, the boys' quartette, and the mixed quartette. The girls' fquartette received a rating of III by singing an arrangement by J. Christopher Marks, of an, old Welsh air, entitled All Through the Night. The boys' quartette received a rating of IV by singing, under some degree of physical handicap, To A Rose' by Louis A. Coerne. The mixed quartette received a rating of II by singing Samuel Webbesf' Breathe Soft, Ye Winds. This last mentioned group came nearest to attaining a perfect blend of all performances by our groups. All of the music rendered by the Canton High School groups was of a high type and in most instances the interpretation was difficult to perfect. All contestants returned to Canton with a feeling of satisfaction of having had! an enjoyable and profitable day in Kirksville and a resolution to work harder with bigger and better entries for a showing next year.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Margaret Meek Home Economics Club was organized in 1930 and became vocational in 1934. Belonging to the Future Homemakers Association of Missouri, two delegates from our club, Miss Evelyn Glascock and Reta Milburn, attended the Home Project Camp, south of Jefferson City. We affiliated with the national organization in 1937, the American Home Economics Association. The following officers were elected: President-Donna Gruber Vice President-Margaret K. Bertram Treasurer-Florence Raines Reporter-Jean McClain Regular business and social meetings are held monthly. The activities of our club may be grouped under four general headings: educa- tional, social, cooperative and financial. The balance that has been kept among these has been influenced by class work, social activities of the school, as well as local needs and resources. Twelve needy children have been fed at noon for several months, with the girls in the Home Economics Class accepting the responsibility of management and prepara- tion. This was made possible through contributions from county relief, money from churches, and local organizations. During the colder weather, lunches were served very reasonably for anyone who desired to stay. Our financial goal has been to complete the equipment needed in our four-unit kitchens. We have added a linen table cloth, luncheon sets,' and silver service .in each kitchen. Additions have also been made to the china. We sent delegates to the State Meeting in Columbia this spring and sent two girls to the State Camp near Jefferson City.

'I'HE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is a national organization. It officially came into being at the Congress of Vocational Agriculture Students and Teachers held in Kan- sas City, Missouri, in October, 1928. The Canton charter dates from 1929. The objec- tivcs of the organization cover a wide range of activities, but have to do with the devel- opment of future farmers. The following objectives stand out as the major values: 1. To develop leadership 2. To develop cooperation 3. To secure a better balance between work and play on the farm 4. To create a true impression of the value and possibilities of rural life The regular meeting of the chapter is held on Tuesday. Some of the regular activi- ties carried on this year were: 1. Held exhibit at County Fair 2. Tested fifty samples of corn for moisture 3. Father and Son Banquet 4. Held Annual Poultry School 5. Sponsored W.L.S. Community Talent Show 6. Held meetings with other chapters The group attended the American Royal and the F. F. A. Camp. The annual field trips were taken to Columbia and Kirksville, where the group participated in the judging contest. The officers are: President-Marion Risk Vice President-Howard Carskadon Secretary-Kenneth Barkley Treasurer-Robert Wehrmann Reporter-Harold Richards Sponsor-Mr. F. W. Smith CAMPFIRE C IRLS First Row: Dorothy Emry, Geneva Emry, Kathryn Hayden, Velma Taylor, Colleen Wilson, Kathryn Wagner, Mary Sue Marks, Shirley Schlager.

The Camp Fire idea took root in the minds of a. corps of educators in 1911, and in March, 1912, the great organization of the Camp Fire Girls was founded. Since that time records show that charters have been issued to three different local groups, two of which are no longer in existence. In November, 1926, fourteen years after the founding of the national nrganizaticn, a charter was issued to a group of girls permitting them to organize a local group to be called Cheskchamay, Powhatan meaning All Friends. Once during its history, thc' Cheskchamay group allowed its charter to be discontinued. The charter was renewcrl in 1931, and the group reorganized with Mrs. Brown as its chartered guardian. In addition to the regular meetings and ceremonials, the most interesting things included in the annual programs are initiations for new members, doughnut Satur- days. Christmas and birthday parties. Sunday School contests, and ping-pong tourna- nflents. The Christmas party always includes the singing of carols at the homes of s ut-ins. Early in 1938, hoping that the Girl Scouts, because of its cheaper dues, would be available to a greater number of girls, and feeling that one organization would be. sufficient to meet the needs and demands of the girls in the community, the Chesk- chamay Camp Fire Girls again discontinued their charter. The officers at that time were: President-Marguerite Goetz Vice President--Edna Mae Stone Secretary-Marjorie Wood Treasurer-Shirley Schlager Reporter-Mary Sue Marks Guardian-Mrs. Viola Brown PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS First Row: Jimmy Yager, Jean McClain, Dallas Davis, Anna Laura Thompson, Jo Gruber.

Bailey, Edward Bash, Audra Sullivan, Hagood Davis. The class was organized as a half unit credit, meeting every Tuesday and Thurs- day. It was taught by Mr. Cedric Crink. dramatic instructor of Culver-Stockton Col- lege, the first semester. Under his direction, we studied extemporaneous speaking, voice and body control. Mr. Kuntz. student of Culver-Stockton, took over the class the second semester, emphasizing public speaking and dramatics . The class put on two one-act plays during the last weeks of school.

Music JUNIOR PLAY A LUCKY BREAK The Junior play, A Lucky Break, a three-act comedy, was presented November 16, at the high school gymnasium. The characters were well chosen for their parts and the play, under the direction of Mrs. Agnes Gloeser, was one of the highlights of the season. The scene of the play was laid in the office of a hotel in Matasquam, Connecticut. The hotel was operated by Mrs. Mullet, Agnes Wagner, who had a marriageable daugh- ter, Mildred Carroll. Many of her guests also had daughters. Their activities with the male guests of the hotel made up a comedy of light entertainment. John Wills. as a wealthy man of business on a vacation, was the catch of the season, until he sup- posedly lost in his fortune in a stock crash. Then he found true friendship and love in the people who helped him during his misfortune. Later it was discovered that he lost only a small amount of money.

This represents, in some degree, the program substituted in some schools for the tradi- tional form of graduation exercises. In this manner some of the value claimed for a program intended to interpret the philosophy of the school is gained while the Value of the formal graduation is not lost. The achievement awards consist of Red and White honor rating cards which are given from Grades 7 to 12 inclusive. They recognize merit in scholarship, character traits, service to the school, and extra-curricular activities. The basketball letters are awarded at this time. Seven medals are also given to members of the senior class, one each for English, athletics, activities, commerce, and scholarship, and two for citizen- ship.

A recent issue of the Missouri Schools, published under the di- rection of State Superintendent Lloyd W. King, contained this write-up of Mr. Peterson: Claude Peterson, janitor in the Canton Public Schools, is in his seventeenth year of service to the school. He has been a regular at- tendant at the janitorial schools sponsored by the State Depart- ment of Education. He is well informed on the principles of heat- ing and cleaning. His relations with the students and faculty are always pleasant. SENIORS I I ! . W W! ! I w w H . Ii H w U H ww, H w U 1.
