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.

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.

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.

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.
