In '28 our Freshman year, We had just loads of things to fear. The Senior class, they picked on us They called us green, we were, I trust. We had a dance on Hallowe'en, And gave ia prize for king and queen. Cider, apples and ice cream cone We had for lunch, then, all went home. Our Sophomore year in '29 We certainly had a peachy time. Again, a dance on Hallowe'en A great success, is what I mean. Our Junior year, I'd like to say, Was full of fun, so clear the way, Had a food sale and made ten bucks. Now, that is what A-h calls good lucks. And then there was the Junior Prom, Now, all who went, had lots of fun, The girls were dressed to look their best. Just ask some kids, they'll tell the rest. And now this year, a year of years, Is full of joy, but yet, there's tears. Our Senior Ball was not 'till May. We'll ne'er forget it to this day. We hate to leave this dear old school Never to hear the golden rule. We wish all luck to those next year That they may have days full of cheer. Irene Given.

GV-'S ivfxill A XS lla 9 I 3 , THE CLASS PHOPHECY OF 1932 Everyone is amazed now that the secret is revealed. What secret? Don't you know? I'll tell you. About a week ago, the Senior Class of Canton High School visited a small, cozy place of business on Main Street. The sign read: We foretell the future. The students ventured to enter without being seen, but this was im- possible. As they entered, they had to place their name and age on a slip of paper. Then they proceeded up a long stairway into a suite of rooms. The rooms were very well furnished but not elaborate. As the students entered, they took seats around a small table which was placed in the center of the sitting room. After everyone had been seated, a tea cup and saucer was placed upon the table. Everything was buzzing with whispers from the students, when two old ladies, brightly attired, walked into the room. The atmosphere of the room changed im- mediately, and the buzzing became silence. The ladies pulled the curtains on the windows and turned all lights off except o-ne small lamp in the center of the table. Everything began to look dark and cloudy. Hands stretched forth, and words were spoken, but no faces could be seen, as they were in total darkness. Ah! what is that voice in the distance? It is coming nearer! It is growing stronger! What's it trying to say? Yes, watch the cup closely, you shall see, - What?-1945-What can that mean? Sh! listen. Frances Phalon! You should have been aware of the future. 'That 'tAggie boy was bluffing you. You should never have married him. Get a divorce! Don't move, people-listen closely! Ruth Banford! You are v-ery happy! 1945 has brought you luck! Nothing else but being a baby tender would have satisfied you. You are earning S5 a we-ek, room and board. The light is blinking! Alfred Walters will you leave it alone! We do not have to look into the cup to see that you're a clown. Barnum, Bailey, and Ringling Brothers are lucky to have you with them, to say nothing of the B. E. C. Circus, your last year in High School. You certainly can make people laugh. Well, well! This looks like Walter Howard. No, it's Everett Clark! Everett, what have you been doing with yours-elf? Gee, you look great! How's your busi- ness? You have? Gee, that's great, old man. We knew you'd succeed as a sales- man. So you're selling Rodgers Romping Rompers! I hear you made a great sale to the inmates at Ogdensburg State Hospital. So your best custom-ers are the three Taylor girls ? Leona, Doris, and Dore-en? Studying did this? No, no, they're not inmates here, they're the three chief nurses. Have I met your boss? I'll say I have. I knew Bill Rodgers would succeed. That's a great business manufacturing rompers. Imagine that sign before you: Rodgers Romping Ro-mpers. ' The tea grounds are changing. Oh! I see a beautiful mansion-Hollywood- and Marie Place. I knew it, Marie. I'm glad your dreams have come true. No, she's not in the movies. She's married and is she happy? We wonder who the lucky one can be? Can anyone give a guess? A little more water, please. Here, I have it. Don't move around, students- here it is! A crowd, music, laughter, and a theater in New York City-there's Marion Burrowes. Why, she's dancing the barefoot dance! How well sh-e does it! I wonder what gave her this inspiration? Maybe the Dramatic Club initiation in C. H. S. Sh! What a sweet voice! Madam May, the wonder of the world. Yes, May Spicer is a great singer, now. I can remember when she used to sing in C. H. S. Why, there's Freddie Clark's Chevie in front of the State Hospital in Ogdensburg. What can this mean? Why, you know Doris Taylor's a nurse, here. But that's not all, Freddy owns a pharmacy in Morley and he's doing well. White? White! Yes, a hospital-ther-e's Jessie Snyder! She's a beautiful nurse. Why, sh'e's leaning over a bed. Who can her patient be? Why Don Place, what happened to you? No wond-er, Jessie's all excited. We don't blame you, Jessie. Love is a beautiful thing.
