As your reporter rominisced last night a long galaxy of memories came trooping one by one. The memories of the faculty of Canton High School for the. year 1938-59. I wrote these memories down and to you Seniors who are graduating I herewith give you these memories so that you too in the years to come may reread this page and re- capture the personality of those who have labored so hard to make your graduation possible. Like a slow moving film the picture of September and the be- ginning of school rolls past my eyes and there I saw new faces of the faculty. There was Miss Mc Laren, Miss Watts, Miss Monroe, and Miss Motyer. The picture fad- ed and I saw the school year start then another picture seem to throw itself before my eyes, and I saw Mr. Jaffin leave because of ill- ness. Treading softly in his place strode Mr. Worthington. The scene changed and before me there marched a proud and strutting father-there in the dream I could see Mr. Lewis beaming at the joy of a new son. Treading closely came crowded scenes so rapid that I was able to get only a glancing view of the past happenings--Miss Thomas granted a leave of absence to attend State College--The ap- pearance of Dan Cupid and the long list of hearts pierced by his ar- rows-Mr. and Mrs.Watts--Mr.Pruyno --Mr. Houseknecht--Miss McGillbra. and the latest of his victims Miss Matelski. The first of April and the loss from our midst of Mrs. Fulton--another new face appears, Miss Katherine Langley to fill Miss Thomas' position. The pic- ture grew dim and it seemed for a moment as though my Reveries of faculty were at an end when sud- denly there flashed before my eyes a picture that produced a tinge of regret. It was the picture of Mr. Lewis resigning from the faculty. Following closely came another picture of Miss Monroe and her resignation. Again in quick sue-- cession I saw Mr. Livezey coaching another championship football tems I saw Miss McGillvra coaching one of the best Senior Plays ever pro- duced hereg I saw Mr. Lloyd direc- ting the Operetta for which he composed the music. Then in less splurge of light and brilliancy I saw the entire faculty walking with slow steps into the gymnasium they were clad in their full aca- demic robes and I was upon the faces of each and particularly on the faces of Miss Barnes, Mrs. Westgate and Miss Bunyan a look of Joy and happiness-a look which seemed to say: HI had my share in making graduation possible for each of these boys and girls.u Then as the dream faded there seemed to be a voice--a voice speaking for the faculty to the graduating seniors--a voice which seem to say Good Luck and God Bless You! Williams

' LARGE CROWD ATTENDS BACCALAUREATE EXERCISES IN CHS ALDITORTUM The Senior Class and their parents and friends attended the annual Baccalaureate Services held Sunday evening, May 28, in the high school auditorium. Rev. W. J. Cartmell delivered ,the sermon with WThe Test of Bxposuren as his topic. The call to worship and invocation were given by Rev. Guiles, and the Scripture was read by Rev. LaRue Brown. The benedic- tion. which was pronounced by Rev. Cartmell, concluded the program. PROFESSOR STETLER ELECTED PRESID NT OF ROTARY CLUB Another highly respected of- fice has been bestowed upon one whom we all admire and respect. Mr. R. A. G. Stctler, Supervising Principal of Canton High School, has been elected President of the local Rotary Club. Mr. Stetler has been song leader, director and member since the Rotary Club was first organized in this town. To Mr. Stetler we offer our sincere congratulations and best wishes for a successful fulfill- ment as President of the Rotary Club. MUSIC WEEK OBSERVED IN ASSEMBLY A musical assembly was pre- sented to the students of Canton High by the music clubs of Canton, Thursday. May ll. JUNIORS ENTRRTAIN SENIORS AT ANNUAL PROM On the evening of May 26, a most spectacular and 'thrilling dance was held in the C. H. S. Ball-Room. The soothing and sweet rhythm of Ivan Faux and his Penn- sylvania Ramblers furnished the music. The setting created a scene as would be found on a beach of Hawaiian, with an orchestra and refreshments, served from a hut. It was very effective. A crystal ball revolving in the middle of the floor added to the beauty and atmosphere. A large, yellow moon also smiled at the dancing couples. A specialty dance was per- formed by two of our native Hulae Hula girls, Shirley Leonard and Hallie Trent. Another specialty was the Senior Dance, at which time only the Seniors and their friends, danced. The girls were each pre- sented with leis. The programs also were of outstanding originality. The dance program, having the symbol of the World's Fair as a cover, was attached to a minature wooden guitar, thus conforming with the decorations. For this most charming and imwensely enjoyed Jr. Prom, the public as well as the seniors wish to congratulate the Junior Class and their sponsor, Miss Matelski, on their decorations and their sincere hospitality. x, s I
