Vim and vinegar and overcrowded my mind with several senseless and melancholy subjects with which to again bore the few suckers who read this column. The 12 grade vocational shop class wants special diplomas for carrying stages, lumber, furniture ladders, Xmas trees, decorations, miscellaneous, etcetera. Perhaps they should receive the degree of uMaster of Totersn and collect ncarrying chargesu for a living. Turn your peepers on the sparkler Miss McGillvra is sport- ing-she seemed so sensible too-- In June, Miss McG? A traveling salesman should strike a bargain once in a while.--I suggest the C.H.S. faculty engage the services of a private Justice of the Peace to perform their many marriage ceremonies. Goodness, Gracious! If all of these nervous seniors pacing the corridors don't remind one of the hall in front of a maternity ward. W Now school is about to be dismissed and C.H.S. will be minus a group of'hell-bent senior boys who have, for four years, enter- tained the office force with their drum corps. We hope next years senior boys appreciate the ventilating system sound tract connecti homeroom with the war depart. I rather fear the survi this institution without Tomkins, the inventorg L.

Most of them have selected kimonas and covering for the mod- ula'oblongata fotherwise known as caps and gowns? for the vital event fcommencementi and try to show vague evidences that their mature brains fovercrowded with superior knowledgel are fully pre- pared for any experience. Some of their attention has been diverted from the preparations for the crisis with the customary exchange of name cards, but they are resum- ing their labors. When they entered this nursey the fact was revealed to them that their minds were Ceontrary to their beliefl barriers to true knowledge and incapable of the ab- sorption of anything of real value New their infantile traits have undergone a gradual transformation and are adjusted to appropriate behavior--no doubt. And new they are forced to take the wheel of their own ship, steer it across the bar from the protective harbor of their Alma Mater, into the stormy sea of life --may they never forget the lady who has faithfully guided them for the past four years--Miss Dcneanon Silas Corntasel writes this editorial for the Gazette. I got a sort of puny son what's graduatin from that thar school of yourn this yar an I hain't so much in favor of the Joint. ' Since Ezra started studyin at Canton High he's got the darndest fool notions in his haid ye ever did see, so he has. He now wants shoes the yar round fnext thing he'1l be elimbin me frame to wear em back an forth to school, tool and now he's even tormentin me for one of them store hair cuts as costs a half a pint a me best boot leg rye. He's gittin so gal durned high falootin I reckon it'l1 take half the summer to git him ironed out an satisfied with the farm again. Why he -even wants to wear a shirt clean up to them thar graduatin services. His maw wanted Ezra to git an education so I had to give in--but what good has it done him? Look at me--I never get out of my first readin book an I'll bet a plug of eatin terbaccer I can pitch horse shoes and swap cows bettern any other man this side of the county seat. Yessir, an thats cause I worked when I was a boy 'stead fillin my noodle with them sasa- city idees. Francis H. Smith ummm:

The vocational class of '39 has members of which the student body can well be proud. 'During the past four years there has been much accomplished along the pro- ject line both at home and in the shop. For the progress, made in these departments Mr. Hess and Mr. Lewis deserve much credit. During the past four years the members of the Ag. Class have taken active part in the F.F.A. Several members have participated in the activities of F.F.A. Week at Penn State. Projects for the year of 1939 are: I Leo Kelley lf2 acre potatoes. Harry Harkness 300 chicks. Law- rence Shanley one dairy cow. Fran- cis Smith one dairy cow. Bennie Wilcox records on 500 laying hens. George Harkness lf8 acre of straw- berries and 700 ringneek chicks, F.F.A. Loses Active nmusnns This year's graduating class will take with it several active members of the F.F,A. Among these seniors, several have held chapter offices and have done outstanding work in classes and projects. The following seniors are graduating under the vocational course: Ben- nie Wilcox: George Harkness: Harry Harkness, Leo Kelley: Francis Smith: Lawrence Shanley. These individuals have con- tributed much to advancing the uAgN Department in Canton High ito its present status. HOME ECONOMICS Four years of Home Ee and in that four years just think of what the girls have gained that will be a great benefit to them after leavingvsehool. One of the greatest accom- plishments is that they have had practice as waitresses, serving the different banquets during these years, and this is a wide field for employment after leaving school. They have taken courses in sewing: that is, learning the fundamentals of sewing and putting them into practice making clothing out of cotton, silk and woolen materials. , Cooking has been a very im- portant part of their Home Ee, life. They have taken part in the serving of school lunches all through the four years and they all appreciate the fact.that they have become better acquainted with cooking. Short courses have also been given them on child care, personal grooming, family relationship, care of clothing, furniture arran- gement in the home and many other major subjects. F.F.A. MAKES SUMMER PLANS Numerous activities have been planned by the local F.F.A. chap- ter, to be carried out during vae cation. . Among these are state judging contests at Penn State, a camping trip, a capon contest and several Sunday outings and dances.
