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 .......

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.
