I w I w i Hg THE ALGONQUIN p Claus Hrnphrrg It has been the Worst of times-it is now the best of timesg it has been an age of wis- dom-it still is an age of wisdom, it has been an age of depression-it is now an age of prosperityg we had the summer of 1935 before us-we have now the spring of 1945 before usg we were all going direct to examinations-we now are going direct to our daily tasks, and now, my friends, I have given to you the march of time program for 1945. Our national government is running along very smoothly under its able president's guid- ing hand who is none other than Richard Given, our Senior Class President. New York State is content--even the St. Lawrence farmers are prosperous under Gov- ernor Robins. Anne has certainly honored our class by becoming the first woman gover- nor of New York State. Ledyard Pfund has become the world's Speed King . If the South can have its Cotton King , we can have the Speed King . His last record has made Sir Malcolm Camp- bell's records look small but we'll agree that it's all right as long as Ledyard doesn't break any love records. Leona Johnson is still living in Canton but she is happily married, so that explains every- thing. Charles Nelson and his little red-h-aired wife are still on the farm. Marion Roach and 'Geraldine Farmer are in Ogdensburg State Hospital. Oh, no, they're not inmates there but two of the most capable nurses. Doc Sanford 'has also distinguished himself in the medical world by becoming the most famous surgeon of the United States. Joe Schaefer has joined the navy to see the world through a port hole. Ten years have given our missionary, Ethel Bacon, plenty of time for her life work. She has recently completed her tour of the United States.

Bert Coleman was the chief architect of the new Canton High School which was completed in 1944. Harriet Clark is the head of a girls' jazz orchestra in New York City. Helen Wires is now enjoying life as a country school ma'am. She certainly is preach- ing what she didn't practice in high school to her little country lads and lassies. Nelson Fadden is a physical training director and history teacher in Flackville. Don Place has become an aviator. Although he crashes up now and then, he is in good health. Arlis Sharpstene is in Sing Sing. He has become a warden there and from all reports is doing good work. He is heard every Tuesday evening over the radio. Listen in if you want to hear a good prison program. Edna Erickson is a mathematics teacher. She always did like Intermediate Algebra while in Canton High School. Bart Lynch is now in the African Jungle, trying to teach the Pygmies how to write shorthand. As yet he has had little success. Harold Thomas has also been traveling but not in Africa. Harold is up in Alaska trying to raise cotton. Dorinne Cornell has crashed into the movies. In her next picture she will play opposite Clark Gable. Can you imagine that? Claude Dishaw is now a traffic cop in Can- ton. N o one can pull any tricks over Claudy , not even Canton High School boys. Doris Wade now has a chicken farm. Chicken dinners every Sunday, seventy-five cents a plate. Just try one if you don't think they're good. Albert Bristol is the head of a C. C. C. camp. Now he can tell the boys about every bug in the woods and its habits. Grace Van Hyning is busy these days on the Morley road. Pierce Evans is a chemist in Buffalo now, but he and his family often return to Canton for week-ends. Mildred Brown is operating a small tea shop in Potsdam. Bernard Leonard, a mechanic of our class. was recently injured in an explosion. He tried to iind a leak in a gas line with a match. Blanche O'Neil is now in Chicago. She married a traveling salesman whose home is in that city. Billy Sheridan and Richard Peggs are law- yers now. Only lawyers could get themselves out of the tight squeezes that they get into. Eileen Murphy is now living in DeKalb Junction. She owns and operates a beauty shop in that city. Mark Patterson is now known as High Geared Homer II -he is a traveling salesman attempting to sell Big Ben alarm clocks. Herbert Leonard, much to everyone's sur- prise, is now playing with the New York Giants. He is planning to visit Canton next year for a few days. Beth Deyo is a sheriff out in Colorado. She is experimenting with sheep in the hope that they will develop their own personalities ac- cording to the essay Mary's Little Lamb. Thomas Partlow is in Reno but it's nothing serious. He is the manager of a large hotel there. Kenneth Jubinville is now a United States Senator. Mary Collins is now a slim and dashing aviatrix. She pilots her plane between DeKalb and DeKalb Junction. Frederick McCormick is now a radio comedian filling the place which Eddie Cantor once held. 'nr-11. SSST uh, iiwrxgg bb++'t CANT ON HIGH SCH L Q++'? O O Walt Gilson is on the same program leading the Chase and Sanborn Orchestra. Walt is still a bachelor. Dorothy Race is still a nurse in Ogdensburg but from all reports she soon will be working in a home of her own. Lawrence Lalone 'is a geometry teacher in Potsdam High School. Winslow Harmon has just completed his fifth book which is entitled- Do You Have Correct Manners? If you are ever in doubt as to what to do at a. party, just refer to Win- slow's book. Bill Lytle has become the most prosperous barber of Canton due to the fact that he is happily married to the one and only . Margaret Dean has entered on her career as a blues singer. She became a success at once and they say that she is very popular in the studio where she works. Margaret Brown is doing social service work in New York City. No, she 'isn't doing it all alone, but her husband is her helper. Charles Kahala is running a taxicab com- pany, which is doing excellent business. Clglarlies had enough practice doing this in high sc' oo . Helene Safford is running a summer resort, her main guests being life guards. She al- ways did like big strong athl-etes. Helen Bolton, who is always so faithful is now living in Washington. What sent her there is hard for some to understand but her friends say that she is going to marry a prime minister, a former student of Canton High School. I Catherine Ragan, believe it or not, is one of the songbirds of the air and she isn't pushing any moon o'er the mountain either. She is a Betty Boop of the air. Listen in next Friday night over the N. B. C. Network if you want to hear a good songster. Ben Carter is a French professorand what a professor! He can roll those R's now just like a regular Frenchman and did he turn out to be a strict teacher! Just ask his eleves . Erma Wilson 'is running her own farm. At present, sh-e has 24 cows, 100 chickens, and one pig. And, of course, Eleanor Cota is also a farmerette. Geraldine Northrup is the Dean of Women in the 'Girls' College at Morley. She does cer- tainly lecture those poor girls. Doreen Rood has become the Home Eco- nomics teacher in Canton High School. She succeeds Miss Sanford who, by the way, is now happily married and living in Canton. More boys seem to be taking cooking than girls, but there, times are changing. -Doris fWade.

How fast the year has gone! omorrow, we will be Juniors. h! No, it can't be! But yet-now we ank as Seniors of Canton High School, es, we will soon say we are the Alumni. As the clock strikes twelve never to strike that same twelve again, so do our school days draw near the end. As we look back upon those happy days, we might hear these words: Gone are the days when our hearts were young and gay, Gone are the days when we cry and laugh and play, 'Gone are the days when we stayed in after schoolg But we never will regret that we learned the golden rule. A class history does not begin with the Freshman year, but it dates to the time when we started to school either in kindergarten or the first grade. As the years have rolled by, we have learned, not only things from books, but things of the spirit which will help us along the road of life. We, as Seniors, wish to express our appreciation, not only to the High School teachers, but to the Grammar School teachers who aided in pulling us out of the ruts and leading us on to higher ideals.

Our memories of you are dear, We'l1 keep them all our life. We'll think of you from year to year- Through any pain and strife. At first, we walked your halls with awe Timid, 'till we understoodg But when our Freshman year was through, We realized your good. Now our fourth and last year's gone, Our life with you is through, But no matter where we roam We'll always think of you. -Anne Robins. Time-Just during school hours. Characters-Teacher in attendance--it is left to your own ingenuity to tell which one. Sundry pupils in various parts of the room. As the curtain goes up, just after the ring- ing of the bell, the 'students seem averse to settling down. After some five minutes' vain attempt, the teacher finds that his for herb voice may be heard above the hub-bub. You may be sure things quiet down in a hurry! Studying goes on undisturbed for five minutes while notes are passed unnoticed and whisper- ings escape the all-seeing eye . Suddenly from the far corner of the room comes a command, John Heaton and Bunny Russell, stop your talking! Contagious snickers soon stop under the glare of the teacher's eye. Suddenly someone snorts and giggles are heard from all sides. A note has proved too humorous for the receiver. The teacher smiles with a far-away smile as order is restored. 'The remaining period is punctuated every so often by commands for silence and accompany- ing quickly-silenced snickers. At last the bell rings and the hub-bub starts again. Yes, wasn't that note too funny for words! Well, one more 'period gone! -Anne Robins. aph- 2 ,gx F11 ug, ff- FY 5 , ik? Q13 TJ, krig. 7-, 25. 1 , ,A 'fe fl ' aww. vw.

The first two years few things happened- of note: As Freshmen we had the following class officers-President, Richard Lobdellg Vice President, Mary Elizabeth Pike, Secretary and Treasurer, John Smith, Athletic Representa- tive, Frank Thomas. Mr. Blankman was the Faculty Adviser. As Sophomores we had a quiet time taking abuses from the upper classes. The class elec- tions resulted in the election of Frank Thomas, President, Erma Thornhill, Vice President, William Walsh, Secretary and Treasurer, and Robert Leonard and Garold Stone, Athletic Representatives. Mr. Danforth was the Class Adviser this time. After leaving the Sophomore Class, we felt that we were getting somewhere. Everyone must admit that our Junior Prom was one of the Uduckiest dances of the decade . We danced to the sweet strains of the Melody Vendors and were sorry to see morning come. We wish the class of '35 the greatest success possible after leaving Canton High School. We are looking forward to our Senior year with enthusiasm!

About forty candidates answered the call. Due to the con- struction of the new ficor in the gymnasium, Coach Oliver was forced to put his charges through three brief practice periods on the Brewer Field House court. Due to the lack of practice, Canton dropped her first league game to Malone and the second to Potsdam. After the Potsdam game the new Hoor was completed and used daily in prep- aration for the Gouverneur game. As a result of a week of hard practice Canton was able to topple Gouverneur by a score of 22-20. Canton encountered very little trouble defeat- ing O. F. A. and Norwood which completed the first half of the league games. When the Canton team journeyed to Water- town, it made history for itself by defeating Beano Graff's boys by a score of 31-28. VVhen Watertown traveled to Canton, the Yellow and Brown again upset the scale by taking the Purple and White across by a scare of 26-25. The week following, Canton ncsed out Malone in the tournament by a score of 31-30 to earn the right to play Gouverneur in the championship. The championship was won by Gouverneur 23-26. Although Canton lost the championship she boasts of one of the best teams which has ever represented the Yellow and Brown. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Even though the girls' basketiball season wasn't so successful this year as last, the mem- bers of the team worked well together. Last year we lost nearly all the first team. Regard- less of that disadvantage, the girls had a fighting spirit which helped them. They were victors of two games of the season. The O. F. A. game played here was about the most exciting even though the C. H. S. girls were defeated. Our only hope is to produce a championship team next year. Most all of the players of the year, with the exception of two- Happy Clark and Leona Johnson-will be with us next year. -Mary Elizabeth Pike. E gg CANTON HIGH SCHOOL ...M L NWN FOOTBALL For the first time in recent years, Coach Oliver was hampered greatly by lack of material. Canton had a light and inexperi- enced line with a fairly good backfield. The first game of the season was with Mas- sena which resulted in a 31-6 win for Massena. Claude Dishaw carried the pigskin for the lone touchdown. The league games were very disasterous for Canton. We won only one game which was from Potsdam by a score of 13-0. Although Canton was out-played in her league games at no time was she out-fought! Coach John Oliver will lose Dishaw, Fadden, G. Thomas, and Kahala by graduation, but he has a strong nucleus around which to build a team next year. Those who will be out for the team next year are F. Thomas, Lobdell, Nash, Patten, M. Cunningham, Longshore and Ensby. The class of '35 wishes the team the best of luck. -a iii-TH' TRACK The track men reported to Coach Oliver on April first. The first to sign up of those who wore the Yellow and Brown colors last year were Dick Given, who was tied for first place in high jump last year in the sectionals, Jack Moore, Willard Longshore, Frank Thomas, Glenn Ensby and Doc Sanford. In addition to these experienced men Coach Oliver had sev- eral new men from which to pick a team. qs gn 5231? THE ALGONQUIN TMAQS SCHOOL BAND Under the able leadership of Miss Elizabeth Dominy, our band was organized in the fall of 1934. By December we were ready for our first concert which was a success. Because of this success, we won the most coveted part of our band-the baritone horn and the bass horn. During the year we made several public appearances-including the championship bas- ketball game, the school circus and two con- certs. We entered a contest at Massena in April in which we won first prize. -Anna Harriett Barber. ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB President ..................... Anne Robins Secretary-Treasurer ....... Barbara MacVey Program Committee Irene Mott Edna Erickson Anna Harriett Barber Under Miss Dominy's direction, both the orchestra and Glee Club have been reorgan- ized with twenty-six members in the Glee Club and sixteen in the orchestra.

As for the Glee Club, it has been very busy, singing at the Christmas Program and the Graduation Exercises. The Glee Club, also, attended in full force the conference held in Potsdam in th-e merry month of May . The Pittsburg girls spent the week of March eleventh at Pittsburgh. There they took part in the radio broadcast of the chorus of four hundred voices, as well as, in the Hnal concert given on Friday, March thirteenth at the Syria Mosque, Pittsburgh's largest Concert Hall. Upon returning from the conference the girls took part in various concerts at Potsdam and Canton. -Margaret Dona, -Barbara MacVey. gg CANTON HIGH SCHOOL X Si X A.

THE ALGONQUIN In the spring term of SCHOOL CLUBS 1934 various clubs, centering on the different subjects taught in the school, were formed. the first class period on periods rotated - that is, day, the second period purpose. In the fall and winter the first meeting of these ing the first hour period These met during each Monday. The, on the second Mon- was used for this semester of 1934-35 clubs was held dur- of Monday, October 15th. Many new clubs were formed on that day. One of these additions was the Photo- graphy Club. Each Monday during this same hour, until the middle of May, the clubs met regularly. Picnics and dances were frequently sponsored by their members. I believe two of our most helpful and pro- gressive clubs to be formed were-the Parlia- mentary Club, conducted by the third and fourth year English teacher, Mrs. Cunning- hamg and the History Debate Club, self- governing but under the dominance of Mr. Danforth, history teacher. Those who did not choose to join one of these many clubs stayed in the study hall under a teacher's supervision. At the present time, these Monday morning clubs are most helpful institutions and highly favored by the students. They will probably become even more popular, as they more firmly establish themselves in high school life. -Winslow Harmon.
