1 'sr-v 's '1f'!'ZE7' Class Histow One fine fall day ln 1945 Canton Public School was blessed with the arrival of thirty-five darling first graders. Among those smiling faces were Charolette Brown, Bruce Dunlap, Edward Hardin, Iames Horsman, Mary Marks, Phyllis Shanks, Erlene Stlffey, and Michael Zenge . Miss Pauline Kiess instructed us for the first week before she became ill. Mrs. Frances Nichols substituted for her. Then Mrs. Ethel Lasswell acquired the job of teaching us demons for the rest of the year. Karma Berry joined our happy second grade group. Our teacher was Mrs. Lee ser. In the third grade Betty Io Wiskirchen bolstered our number. Mrs. Owens was our thlrd grade teacher. In the fourth grade we were not blessed with any new arrivals but we lost one happy member of our original class, Erlene Stiffey. Mrs. Legg taught us our multiplication and division tables. Mrs. VanTress taught our dubious class in the fifth grade. There were two additions to our class in the sixth grade. One, Erlene Sttffey, was a past member of our group and the other, Betty Ruth Powers, was a newcomer. We had the honor of being the first class taught by Mrs. Grandstaff. At long last we were ready to take the big step, Iunior High. Iudith Clark joined our class just in time to take that big step with us. Mrs. McClain was our seventh grade sponsor. Durlng the eighth grade our class was increased in number by two with the arrival of Jackie Mea se and Robert johnson. Iames Horsman and Patty Hamill were our King and Queen Candidates and we won the Iunlor High King and Queen Contest. Mr. Ohlendorf was our class sponsor. After eight years of hard study we finally reached High School. Mrs. Ohlendorf followed our class up another step to be our freshman sponsor. Our sophomore year we were joined by Allene Weathers, Shirley Williams, and Evelyn Tate. Our sophomore class sponsors were Mrs. Motley and Mr. Kneeland. Our junior year was a very trying year with such events as: magazine sales which amounted to over 510007 our first three act play, Here Comes Charlie : and the best Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet with the theme , Candyland . The class sponsors were Mrs. Leavitt and Mr. McCampbell. In our senior year we were joined by Elaine Jack son. As seniors we have accomplished several things. A few are: the production of a three act play, He Couldn't Marry Five , directed by Mrs. Ahrenholtz: the selling of pop corn, candy, pie, beanies, and picking up of corn for the Senior 'lrlp to Chicago: and the taking of all those well liked tests. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet given in our honor by the juniors is one of the seniors fondest me morles. The theme was Oriental Gardens' . Our co-sponsors were Miss DeLaney and Mr. Ellls. Our class colors were silver and blue: our flower was the bronze mum: and our motto was, If The Road To Success Is Blocked--Detour . Compliments of DON'S GRAND LEADER
