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.

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.
