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.

gg THE ALGONQUIN BOYS' BASKETBALL On December first, Coach Oliver issued his usual call for basketball players. 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.

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 .......
