At the commencement of this undertaking, we set for ourselves high standards of excellence. Clredit for whatever measure of success we have had in adhering to those standards is due the friends and advisers who have so willingly contributed their valuable time and services. To them, our sincere M Erhiratinn O George V. Smith-just George to seven- teen years of Canton boys-than whom we have never known a truer friend or a more loyal rooter, in grateful appreciation of his friendship and good-humored services, the Class of 1934 dedicate this seventh Algonquin , gratitude.

CLASS POEM 'Tis four short years since we set sail Upon our ocean blue, Manned by Captain Williams, And the faculty, his crew. These years have been most happy ones, Both toil and joy combined. But now 'tis time to disernbark, To leave our ship behind. And now that we have reached the shore, The goal we sought is won. Many others stretch on before, For life has but begun. But through the years that are to come, We'll live these four again, For the memories will linger, And the friendships will remain. -Frances Howard. Class Motto- Gras ingens iterabimus aequor -Horace Class Colors-Blue and Gold Class Flower-Rose CLASS SONG fTune: When We Build a Little Homej Now we're leaving C. H. S. We are sad to have to go, But we feel we're taking something That is really quite worth while. Every single little dream That we've cherished through the years Has come true to us, the seniors, Now we're leaving C. H. S. We've been happy, oh so happy, But now we find it's time to leave. It's been our school, and we loved it, Now you must carry on. And with every step we're taking, We are going further on, All our troubles are not over, Though we're leaving Canton High. It's a school of great advantage, And we've had its benefit, Now we're thanking all you teachers For your understanding bit. The road of life is right before us And we've got to work our way, But the thoughts of this old schoolhouse Will be with us every day. We've had a good time, but a hard time Now w-e're free to p-ick our wayg Life's before us-but we're ready, This is all that we can say. We can struggle up the pathway Of the fame that is to come, Then we'll thank our dear old high school For the 'help it gave us then. -Marla Snyder and Aldine Stevens EMERY ARTHUR BACON Science Club 4.

Junior Marla Snyder Dorothy Crary Nelson Fadden Miss Scurrah We had a party on St. Patric-k's day, Food tables decked in grand display. I'l1 grant you'll not forget this line, For we all had a peachy time! The weeks went whizzing by, In every heart there was great joy. That last day of school we well remember. Then around came September. That was back in '31 When our school life had just begun. That year was sleek on wing, And soon the bell had ceased to ring. When our Junior year had dawned, All our last year's books we pawned. Friendly faces-again it seemed With many smiles that they all gleamed. The Junior Prom was sure a wow! The siame success to others we endow. The girls were dressed to look their best, Ask anyone to tell the rest. But that year came and went, To us their seats the Seniors lent. And full fledged Seniors we were made, Memories of that will never fade. But the best event of all Was that great Senior Ball, A dance we'll ne'er forget And the fun we'll not regret! Four years have we sailed that river With its hazardous rocks and quiver. Now we've embarked on the sea of life Nor small will be the strife. We know that we will meet the test For our training has been the best. -Leonard Fisk. Senior Benton Pike Bette Hunter Paul Warner Miss Scurrah Uhr Qllaaa Hrnphrrg nf 1934 This is station X. O. P. giving you the march of time program for 1954. The whole fworld is in a state of disorder, no home is fmodern unless all the household furnishings are in ruins. The cause for such a comm-otion is the nomination of the first woman candidate, Frances Howard, to run opposite Benton Pike for the presidency of the United States. Frank Pitts and Karl Mayhew have gone into the prize-fighting business. In a little while they expect to live on Easy Street, that is, if they are still alive. Paul Warner is one of the best artists of the day. His career began over night when he drew a picture of a college professor and a noted critic thought it was Henry VIII. David DePue is now a slim and graceful doctor. The change oame to him 'when he began to use Harold Smith's Weight Producer. Harold is a pharmacist, you know. The once silent Robert Coakley makes a lot of noise now. He's a carpenter, but he referees ball games on the side while his blue-eyed wife looks on. V Leonard Fisk is out west acting as sheriff. He tries to be serious and vicious but his at- tempts don't seem to affect the ladies. Leona Beckstead is a famous detective but she could never figure out why her best boy- friend married her twin sister, Leola, now the happy 'mother of six children. Ralph Dona. -has become a successful New York taxi driver, especially noted for turning corners by one wheel, the one with which he steers. Martha Clark is in the vicinity of the Rio Grande. There are rumors which say that she is following certain bandits and others state that she is hunting for gold. Dorothy Wade is the proprietress of a boarding house. Since one of her boarders informed her that he led a dog's life while married and because he growls now and then, she has economized by feeding him dog biscuits. Donald Crary is an insurance agent. He puts on a hard look, doubles up his fists for effect, and sells a lot of life insurance. The scientific writer, Merton Smith, has completed a book entitled Science Dealing with Manners. It's splendid, all about why one should have manners and then use them. There's a lady who works by the night in- stead of by the day. This is Madgeline Cota, a night nurse in the Potsdiam Hospital. Willmer Thomas is a chef in a Boston hotel and how he can cook angel food! The saxophone owned by Francis Christen- sen has taken that boy far from home. He now plays in the Rochester Civic Orchestra. George Crary is still wandering about look- ing for a job. He says he hasn't had one since he left Canton High. Eiileen Lynch is giving dancing lessons. The class is strictly select. Could you imagine Aldine Stevens running a truck farm? Well, she does and she calls it Cl'ifford's Garden of Eden. Anna Barb-er has become the nightingale of America since .she began 'singing over the radio at night. Helen Tupper is the matron of an orphan asylum. She kfeeps the children quiet by playing the latest hits of the season on her piano. Ethel Peters is in the movies playing op- posite a red-.headed man. Ruth McKimm is running her own farm and I guess she is making as much money as the rest of the farmers. Bernita Rexford is teaching in the little white school house on the Pierrepont road. She loves this road because it brings back memories of the time when she used to wear her shoes out on it in the days gone by. And now for a surprise! Bette Hunter is in Lake Placid doing fancy ice skating. They say she draws quite a crowd. Marla Snyder has joined the Jolly Ring Circus. She does trapeeze stunts. But then, everyone knew she .had high aspirations. Harriet Sellers is someone's stenog. That someone is her husband. No sir, she doesn't believe in taking any chances. Di-antha Purvee has just realized the desire of her heart. She is putting a house in order on Lincoln Street. Frances Cotter has gone to Paris to study. She has decided that everyone should study the Parisian styles. Emery Bacon is a missionary in China. Ilaawrence McDermid is there too. He has ex- plored the whole country and is now writing an address to be given when he returns home. Emery will give the address, by the way. Dorothy Wood is the Justice of Peace in Canton and she says she can marry anyone. Well, she always was lucky. My radio audience, Oscar Howard is in Reno. No, it's nothing serious. He has been there a long time selling real estate and it is said that he is making lots of money. Geraldine Northrup is the postmistress at Morley and she is capable of reading very illegible addresses. Mildred Taylor is a physical directress in a girls' college. 1She can do everything but fly. To our surprise, Myron McDermid has be- come an outstanding taxidermist known far and wide for his gold fish mountings. I have an important notice here. Elrnestine Taylor is in the fur trading business. While she is operating her gun the safest person is the one standing next to her. In the New York Times I have just read that Kathleen Brown, a W. C. T. U. worker, has started a great movement in southern New I I York by her speaking. All the people down there are moving north. Also I glanced at the Homemakers' Column edited by Nettie Mouthorp. Cornelius Mahoney is manufacturing alarm clocks. He states that an alarm clock is your best friend because it goes, it runs and it is usually on time. The voice of Betty Boop which reaches our radio audience is none other than that of Dorothy Crary. Catherine Navan is in Rochester working in the Eastman Kodak Company but she wishes it known that she is not going to slave all her life. Oh! I forgot to tell you that Clifford Bartholomew's dairy is located right next to Aldine's truck farm. Well, what of it? The time has marched by and now station X. O. P. is signing off. Your announcer is Helen Mack. Uhr Denim' will We, the Class of 1934, being sound of mind and memory do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament: To the Board of Education we leave a new heating plant so that school can keep regard- less of the water supply.

To Miss Currie we bequeath a few more courses to break the monotony of her present schedule. To Miss Roche we leave a pad for the radiator in her room so that she won't get burned. To Miss Sanford we bequeath the dishes that are left after the boys have finished their course in cooking. To Mrs. McRostie we give thanks for her pleasant smile and cheerful manner. To the entire Faculty, we express a hope that some day they will again have a class like ours, a class which has caused them so little trouble, so little anxiety, and so much happiness. We bequeath to .the underclassmen our ability, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, patience, trustworthiness, kindness, prompt- ness, and loyalty as students of the Canton High School.

FOOTBALL Canton High marched through the 1933 football season, winning five of the eight scheduled games. On November 4th, C. H. S., hampered by the lack of reserves, played a hard game with O. F. A. for the Championship of the Northern New York League, in which the final .score stood 24-0, in favor of O. F. A. Perhaps the best game of the season was the regular League game with Ogdensburg. After two days of pep-meetings, C. H. S, played inspired football and won. from the same team that defeated her the next week, by a score of 20-7. The Gouverneur game, which was later forfeited, was another inter- esting encounter in which C. H. S. displayed fine style and sportsmanship. The upset of the season was Malone's 26-6 victory over us. As a result of excellent teamwork, Coakley, W. Thomas, Wheeler, Crary, Mayhew, Enders- bee, and Coleman, did the scoring. The Class of '34 wishes next year's team as successful a season as this one. BASKETBALL On March 16, 1934, Canton High closed her 1933-34 basketball season by losing to Potsdam High by a score of 31-18 in a game which determined the Champions of the Northern New York Basketball League. The week before, C. H. S. handed O. F. A. a stinging 30-21 defeat to win the right to oppose Potsdam in the Championship game and, as it later developed, to be runner-up for the basket- ball championship. The Varsity won fifteen of her twenty-three scheduled games, running up a total of 643 points as against the 514 points scored by its opponents. With the exception of one or two slumps, the team functioned perfectly through- out the season. In addition to the regular League games, C. H. S. played against Car- thage, St. Lawrence Frosh, Aggies, Madrid, Waddington, DeKalb, Pyrites, and the Alumni. Of these, they defeated the last six. The letter men were Captain Coakley, Manager Pike, W. Thomas, F. Thomas, Kahala, Coleman, Sanford, Wheeler, and Murphy. L. GIRLS' BASKETBALL In the 153243-3-1 basketball season, Canton High produced its iirst champion girls' basket- ball team in six years, by defeating O. I . A. in the last game of the season, thus winning: glory for itself and its school. Perhaps the two most outstanding games of the season were those with Ogdensburg Free Academy. C. H. S, won both, the first by a score of 26-19, and the second by a score of 15-lil, The team that brought credit to C. H. S. consisted of Marla Snyder and Mary Howard, forwards: Martha Clark, center, Dorothy Crary and Frances Howard, guards. Harriet Clark, Leona Johnson, Helen Tupp-er, and Jessie Gillett were the ablest substitutes. The success- ful team had Aldine Stevens for its manager. Although four of the first tive players are to be graduated, next year's team must uphold the reputation already won. TRACK, WRESTLING, INTRAMURAL After Easter vacation, most of last year's cinder-path team reported for work-outs. The relay team had to be rebuilt, but otherwise, Canton High was as strong as she was last year. In addition to his more experienced men, Coach Oliver had several new runner: to pick from. The Freshmen seemed to show an added interest and from this year's results, Coach Oliv-er found that he had some excellent material to replace the men who are to be Lrraduatcd. Wrestling and Intramural basketball were again promoted by the Athletic Association and again proved successful. In wrestling, two men, Ha1'ry Wheeler and Glenn Thomas, placed second in their class at the St. Law- rence Wrestlingf Tournament. In Intramural, Southern California, Navy, Northwestern, and Clarkson finished the season in the order named. Four other teams failed to place but every fellow in school had a chance to play, if he wanted to. ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB LEADER - MR.
