CANTON HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE CLASS President .............. Thomas Partlow Vice President ......... Winslow Harmon The depression being on this year, the Sophomore Class has been unable to carry on very many activi- ties. Last fall we sold candy at the football games. This was a success, and we took in money enough to make up for last year. Of course you all know Secretary-Treasurer ........ Helene Safford Class Adviser................. Miss Roche the wonderful sleighing weather that we have had, and so for that reason we have not had a sleigh ride. We hope that next year we can have snow enough for a sleigh ride and I’m sure the Junior Prom of next year will be a grand success.—Harriette Clark. FRESHMAN CLASS President ................ Richard Lobdell Vice President....... Mary Elizabeth Pike Faculty Adviser .. The Freshman Class has not been very active this year. Apparently, they have been working so hard, that they have had no time for outside amusements, for all they have had is a sleigh ride; but I suppose my theory is not entirely correct. The sleigh ride Secretary-Treasurer.............John Smith Athletic Advisory Board .. Frank Thomas ... Mr. Blankman came off in February, and it was certainly worth the ten cents each paid for it, thanks to Mr. Peters, the driver of the sleigh. Next year, I believe that the Sophomore Class will be much more active in the social and athletic events in Canton High School. Alice Priest.

A L G O N Q U I N JUNIOR CLASS President...........................Marla Snyder Vice President............. Dorothy Crary Secretary-Treasurer.....■ . Nelson Fadden Athletic Board............. Claude Dishaw Faculty Adviser......................Miss Scurrah Hello, Everyone! I have heard that you would like an account of what the members of the Class of ’34 have accom- plished in the first three years in Canton High School. The first two years, very little happened. The class elections were carried on at the first of the year. The following Freshmen were elected to office: President, Robert Coakley; Vice President, Harold Smith; Secretary and Treasurer, Helen Tupper; Athletic Advisory Board, Emmett Murphy; Class Adviser, Mr. Severance. On Saint Patrick’s Day, the Freshman and Sopho- more classes sponsored a party that was very successful. The rest of the year was spent quietly. When we became Sophomores we spent a quiet time enjoying the things that the other classes and societies put on. The class elections resulted in the election of the following people to office: President, Donald Crary; Vice President, Claude Dishaw; Secretary and Treasurer, Martha Clark; Athletic Advisory Board, Emmett Murphy; Class Adviser, Mrs. Cunningham. Very little was heard from the class the rest of the year. When we were graduated from the Sophomore class into the Junior class, our spirits rose. We were now upperclassmen, and could have the privilege of telling the Freshmen where they belonged. Under the careful guidance of our class adviser, the class of ’34 staged a very successful Junior Prom. This was held the Friday night of regents, week. The rest of the year the Juniors spent in peace, waiting for the time until they would become digni- fied Seniors. Your pal, Marla Snyder. The members of the Junior Class wish to express their deep regret at the loss of their schoolmate, Chester Moore, a boy who held a high position in the minds of all who knew him.

Gage ASSISTANTS Richard Given Harriette Clark Rex Rexford Marion Crary Mark Banks, Jr. Frances Howard Barbara MacVey The completion of this school year brings to a close the sixth successful year of the publication of “The Wash.” Spicy work by the Art Editors, inter- esting columns such as “Chats,” intelligent comment and stories, jokes, and the Grammar School section, characterize the material printed in this paper dur- ing the past ten months. A factor which led to no little discussion was the change from a weekly to a bi-monthly publication. “The Wash” has secured a cabinet for supplies which adorns Miss Gage’s office, and it serves its purpose. The “Wash” staff wishes to thank the student body—through whose cooperation its publication is possible—for its support. We also extend our most sincere wish to next year’s staff that they can im- prove this humble school activity which we pass on to them. Benton Pike. DRAMATIC CLUB President ................. Margaret Nash Vice President .................. Richard Given Secretary-Treasurer ........ Benton Pike Faculty Adviser.......... Claire K. Gage This year the “Masquers” have continued success- fully to serve as the Dramatic Club of Canton High School. Early in the fall, election of officers took place, soon after which the initial meeting was held at the home of Benton Pike. At this meeting, Miss Gage gave the members of the club an idea of the new play to be produced, “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing.” Soon after try-outs, the new members of the club were initiated at a Hallowe’en party. During the period in which rehearsals were taking place, Miss Gage, with the help of the stage managers, built a new stage set to be used this year and in the future. The play was first presented in the Grammar School before a small house. Two months later, however, the same cast again repeated the performance on two consecutive evenings before appreciative audi- ences. Other meetings, at which business and pleasure coincided, were held during the year at the homes of Martha Clark, Kathryn Crooke, and Aldine Stevens. Other activities of the club this year in- cluded food sales, tea dances, and parties. With increasing membership and interest, the “Masquers” of next year should easily continue to be a leading organization of Canton High School. Margaret Nash. ORCHESTRA The Canton High School Orchestra of this year is larger than ever before. There are four violinists, Alice Priest, Helen Mack, Margaret Dona, and Martha Clark;- three trumpeteers, David Wight, Donald Barbour, and Horton Tupper; one saxophone player, Francis Christianson; a drummer, Mary Heffernan, a pianist, Helen Tupper, another drum- mer, Walter Heffernan. This year, the orchestra, under the personal direc- tion of Miss Rutherford, head of the Music Depart- ment, has made appearances at several of the im- portant school activities, including the annual play, the speaking contest, and at the annual May Festival of the Northern New York High School Orchestras which is held in Potsdam. We also offered the music at the June graduation exercises for both the High School and the Grammar School. Martha Clark.
