The cilgonquin Canton glzgb School illnrmaril HROUGHOUT our four years in Canton High School, the torches of knowledge that we hold now, at our departure, have steadily grown brighter -awith the unfailing help of our teachers and the Board of Education. We now, in leaving, go forth to light other torches from the clear-burning flame of our own. In this yearbook we have inclosed precious mementos of our school years, during which we have followed the great torch of-Progress Erhimtinn O Miss Morgan, friend and teacher throughout our high school career, we dedicate this year book as a token of our gratitude for her sympathetic understanding and loyal cooperation. Her splendid character and pleasant personality have been an inspiration to us, for she is one within whom the torch of hope, of faith, and of charity burns brightest Cf5be fglgonquin Canton gtigb :School 1 . 3111 fllllrmnriam Bsuih might The eglgonquzn Canton gligb School Uhr Zliurultg PRINCIPAL-Hugh C.

On second glance, we see strange things-those events that occur ten years from now, in 1947. An overwhelming majority vote has placed Bernard Ragan at the wheel of our ship of state. We are contentedly drifting along on a wave of prosperity. Canton has now become quite a city, and who should be mayor-but that mighty public speaker-Orin Taylor. The Ladies' Garment Workers' Company hired a new chief shipping clerk, Marjorie Adams. Much to the surprise of all, Glenn is still a bachelor. At present, he is on the Broadway stage. Good luck, Mr. Ensby! Another position has been filled by a Canton girl. Eileen Ames is the soda-jerker at Newberry's St-ore in Morley. The name of John Robins now gleams across the nation. He has cultivated a voice second only to Lawrence Ti'bbett's, and is now busy at work. For the past four years, the populace of New York City has ardently followed the articles of the petite sob-sister of the New York Sun, Dolly Banta. Tune in WCAD at 10:00 P. M. and you will hear the Silver Melody Makers directed by Warren Thompson and featuring ffor the ladies! Johnnie Heaton's crooning. Here in Canton, Gertrude Brown was re- cently elected sheriff of this county, the first time that one of her sex has ever been honored in such a way in St. Lawrence County. Now that Bob Sims has married that cute little girl from the vicinity of Norwood, he is making a fortune by creating women's hair styles. He is quite the envy of Paris experts. The Metropolitan Opera Company yesterday signed up Muriel Carpenter on a five-year contract. It was announced that she would play opposite John Robins some time in the near future. That high class tourist camp in Pyrites belongs to Constance Crump. The whole world is echoing in applause to the magnificent portraits 'by the artist, Mary Coakley. Arnold Gary is a pilot, carrying passengers from Eben to Eddy. On Saturdays, he plays baseball for the Giants. Evelyn Coller is, today, the leading social luminary on P'ark Avenue. Boys, she's worth millions. Frank Heyer is an organist in the Presby- terian Church 'in Hermon. They say he is rushing a redhead of that city. Gary Stone now has a chance to talk as much and as fast as he pleases. It is his job to bring to your ears accounts of all football games, basketball games, 'boxing and wrestling matches. The industrious and ambitious president of the Future Farmerettesn is none other than Margaret Erickson. The little French students are now getting their lessons every day because Prof Weath- erup, their teacher, believes in laying on the rod. Maefred Woods is still in high school, but as Oakland's assistant. John Kapfer is a dentist in DeKalb Junction. Of course, he is married and has three children. Minnie Foote is the sensation of the Zieg- feld Follies of 1947. Avery Conant is a chef in one of the 'bigger hotels in New York City. He gives all credit for his success to Miss Sanford. Frances Gratto is the prosperous proprietor of the restaurant on the corner of the Pierre- pont-King Iron Bridge road, just outside of Canton. Charles and Harold Lindley are first rate carpenters. Now, they are building an addition on the old high school of this city. Taking the world by storm through her brilliant piano playing, Winifred Hull now ranks as the number one piano virtuoso of the western and eastern hemispheres. The tall, sturdy, and stately John McCartney Ls a butler in his prospective father-in-law's ome. Franklin Mace is a barber in San Francisco. The cflflgonquin Gonton gagli School The incomparable dancing star of Ralph Nash's newest musical sensation, Pink, Pank, and Punk, is Ruth Lawrence. A new undertaking parlor has been estab- lished in Canton, the 'big chief and .boss being Martha Lo'bdell. Lots of people don't need money to become famous. Take Lena Lytle, for instance. She received 'international fame by jumping off the Little River Bridge. Canton, too, has made its contribution to aviation in the form of an aviatrix, Mabel Mace. She flew from Potsdam to P'ierrepont -non-stop-even though she wanted to stay overnight at Canton because of jangled nerves. Sidney Rexfford and Paul Murphy, both disappointed in love, are sailing up the Nile River in a sailboat. Virginia Meade was recently voted the out- standing equestrian of the world. She is one of the star performers in a carnival. Gerald O'Brian was always interested in politics. Now, he is telling the rest of the Congressmen what to do. Filmland has another blond. Platinum- haired Lillian Moore is quite the rage among the handsome leading men of Hollywood. Cyril Cunningham is a doctor in Watertown. Of course, he is married to the former Frances Howard. Another Canton girl breaks a record. Doro- thy O'Neil lately shattered the world's record for the 100 yard dash in the Canton A. A. track and field meet. In the Cotton Club, Ca-b Calloway recently introduced his newest torch singer, the exotic Wanda Nichols. Gllaaa We, the Class of 1937, of the town of Clanton in the County of St. Lawrence and State of New York, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. First, we leave all our debts to the Class of '38, To the board of education we leave the right to establish a drinking fountain in the base- ment, so that Mr. Mathews' classes will not have to gallop up stairs for a drink. T-o Professor Williams we leave two new ping pong tables and many interesting games. To Mrs. Cunningham, we leave a set of curling irons so that she can do a good job on her bad boys. To Mr. Mathews we leave an observation tower so that he can 'better direct traffic in study hall. To Miss Bovee, we leave a squad of actors and actresses. To Coach Oliver, we leave championship football and basketball teams. To Miss Morgan, we leave a couple of Latin IV boys. To Miss Currie, we leave some new equip- ment to be used during Physics Lab periods. Ralph Nash and Elsie Tupper are sending out some song hits this year. It is estimated that their latest song 'brought them 53,000 each. Richard Lobdell is a plumber in Seattle, Washington. He is married and has three sets of twins. Thelma Payne is teaching knitting in the Langley Corners High School. Alfred England is writing advertisements for Gerald Cunningham who is running a first class restaurant in Morley. That beautiful acrobat Con the flying tra- pezej for Ringling Bros., Barnum and Bailey Circus is our own Ruth Peters. Richard Banks is teaching chemistry and intermediate algebra in Madrid High Schoolg both were his favorite subjects. Bertha Post was recently elected president of Vassar College ffor women onlyl. Elizabeth Preston is 'busy these days driving a school 'bus. The ace script writer for Joe Penner is Beatrice Robinson. Yes, Mrs. Cunningham, her English is greatly improved. Stephen Ragan is a dog catcher. But don't worry if your dog disappears, be-cause Stephen can't bear to shoot the poor little things. Ernest Veio is an artist. Following his graduation from high school, he studied art in New York City, Paris, and Rome. Betty Williams is the featured violin soloist on the Chase and Sanborn Coffee Hour, every Sunday at eight o'clock. Jack Moore is manufacturing automobile horns. Well, Jack, you ought to be able to horn your way into some lonely girl's heart. Marjorie Adams and Richard Banks will To Mr. DeWitt, we leave memories of a very sleepy afternoon History C class. To Mr. Riggs, we leave the right to change his chemistry class period from last in the afternoon to first in the morning. To Miss Roche, we leave a few fairly intelli- gent commercial students. To Miss Dominy, we leave a new drum major to take Warren Thompson's place.

Robert Sims Gllaaa liiatnrg THE TORCH LIGHTS OUR WAY After having graduated from the grammar school in the summer of thirty-three, we entered into high school as green freshmen, proud, confident, and determined to carry our torches high, and never to let the flames flicker or die out. For the first few days, to some the routine seemed -badly mixed-up. However, after we became -better acquainted with o classes, we soon realized it was necessary target down to real business. The class officers were elected as follows: Sidney Rexford, President, Betty Williams, Vice-President, Arnold Porteous, Secretary and Treasurer, Glenn Ensby, Athletic Representa- tive, Mr. Blankman, Class Adviser. This first year was spent mostly in hard study and becoming used to the school. Conse- quently, after making a success of our regents in June of thirty-four, we progressed a little further. When we came back to school the next fall, we had become full-fledged and sophisticated sophomores. We could now make life miserable for the new freshmen even as our life had been made miserable the year before. Our officers for the year were elected at our first class meeting. Glenn Ensby :became President, Mary Coakley, Vice-President, Elsie Tupper, Secretary and Treasurer, Ralph Nash and Arnold Porteous, Athletic Representatives. Mr. Blankman was re-elected Class Adviser. This year, we participated in more school activities. We had a tea dance during the winter, which was enjoyed to the fullest extent. However, it took time and hard study in order that we might 'become upper-classmen the next year. Therefore, the fiame of our torch grew still brighter and more powerful as we entered into our Junior year. As worthy Juniors, we felt more important. Ralph Nash was elected to hold the honored position of President, Elsie Tupper, Vice- President, Ruth Lawrence, Secretary and Treasurer, John McCartney and Glenn Ensby, Athletic Representatives, and Mr. Baldick, Class Adviser. As Mr. Baldick was called away after having been with us for a half year, Miss Bovee was chosen for our Class Adviser in January soon after the second semester began. Considered jolly Juniors, it was now our turn to sponsor the annual Junior P'rom. Early in February, the planning and arrangements were begun with the naming of various committees, who began work immediately. Dancing and swinging to the strains of Red Carino's Orches- tra in a hall -beautifully decorated in red and white, many couples enjoyed a grand evening. This, the most important event of the year, was considered a shining success. Other activities such as a food sale and the decoration of the auditorium in June for the departing Seniors, were carried on. Thus, in the September of thirty-six, we came back to Canton High as dignified Seniors. Richard Banks was elected to the coveted and responsible position of President. Elsie Tupper became Vice-President, Ralph Nash, Secretary and Treasurerg Glenn Ensby and Cyril Cun- ningham, our Athletic Representatives, and Miss Bovee was again chosen as our Faculty Adviser. Miss Morgan kindly aided Miss Bovee when time seemed too short to do all necessary business. This last year, outside of food sales and smaller social events, the main one was the Senior Ball. Because of the enthusiasm of all the students, who willingly cooperated, and due to the wise counsel of Miss Bovee and our President, Richard Banks, the Senior Ball proved to be a great success. Although only high school students were allowed, a good-sized crowd danced all evening, declaring afterwards everyone had had a grand evening. After passing our regents, we realized that the goal for which we had been striving was accomplished. Our last year in the field of sports has been a glamorous year for the now famous Golden Bears. With the torch held high, a great little team composed of real fighters finished second in both football and basketball. We, the Senior Class of thirty-seven wish those Golden Bears, who will remain 'behind, luck and pros- perity, and we know that the torch will burn steadily in the field of sports. Now that graduation is upon us, and we are about to leave Canton High, no matter which way each of us chooses, the good-times and friendships, as well as the sorrows and hard work, which we have shared together, will long be remembered. We have made the torch of progress our symbol, and we leave this high school to progress still further in the good will and ambition, which it has taught us. We sincerely hope the years of the future Seniors will hold as much success and happiness as our years have. Muriel Carpenter Glenn Ensby , The filgonqum Ganton glzglv School ll Snnga sinh lgrnplr 1.

Our teachers and our schoolmates have carried it for years, And now we must leave them to forge ahead, without fears. Whether we've profited from our four years at all, Whether we'll ever remember the times we crossed each hall, Whether we've learned our daily lessons well- Time and time alone will tell. Though we may say, 'iGlad I'm out of there, Though each year did bring another care, Still we'd like it if we might a little longer stay. The world's not too kind, and our pride it may flay. Some of us will continue with our books. Some niay succeed with their clothes and good oo s. Some will be farmers, some unemployed, some we know not what. Whatever we do, wherever we go, whatever is our lot, We'll surely remember from time to time Our friends of old by that ancient nursery rhyme, The butcher, the baker, the candle-stick maker. And, to-o, our torch of progress, may we never forsake her. We've left friends, kind and true, young and old, Who've done for us more than can be told. May they remember us, and we-them, And may all our happy friendships never end. Dolly Banta Qllaza Sung fTune- When My Dreamboat C-omes Home J School is over today And we've placed our books away.

During our Freshman year, the class officers were Donald Nash, President, Paul Patten, Vice-President, and Francis Stone, Secretary and Treasu1'er. Miss Roche was the adviser of our class. The first year was uneventful for the boys. The girls, however, were entertained by a get-acquainted party given by the kind and thoughtful Seniors of that year. As Sophomores we had a happy year but more uneventful than the first. The result of the class election was: President, Paul Patteng Vice-President, Donald Nashg Secretary and Treasurer, Kenneth Mayhew. Our class ad- viser was Mr. Blankman. In our Junior year, we shouldered the great responsibility of putting on our first formal dance. We did our best, under the advice of Mr. Riggs, to make the Prom better than ever before. The leaders of this class are: Presi- dent, Paul Patteng Vice-President, Frances Howardg Mavis Shaw, Secretary and Treasurer. Next year, our last and most eventful one, we will be enthusiastic Seniors. We hope to make it a pleasant and prosperous year by obtaining all honors possible. Our goal is drawing near and we hope to reach it holding aloft the bright torch handed down to us by this year's departing class.

The membership is continually growing. The band has made many public appearances this year. A few of these were: at Potsdam, at the dedication of the new post office in Canton, at many football and basketball games, in its annual concert, and in the contest. The day before school began, the band journeyed to the State Fair at Syracuse to compete against other bands. We hope that the band will con- tinue to flourish in the Canton schools.

Stiles, linslvy, FOOTBALL This year, the Golden Bears went on the field with the confidence and fight of champions who are defending their title for the first time. Early in the season, they showed promise of being champions againg but Dame Fortune failed to smile on them and the Golden Bears ended up playing second fiddle to the Massena Red Raiders. Soon after the squad reported for practice, Coach Oliver made his first selection of eleven men to represent Canton High School on the gridiron. His first selections for the varsity were: Halfbacks, W. Longshore and G. Stoneg Fullback, C. Cunninghamg Quarterback, P. Patteng Ends, R. Nash and G. Ensbyg Tackles, G. Cunningham and H. Stilesg Guards, D. Nash and R. Lobdellg and center, F. Stone. Soon, inelipribility and 'injuries took their toll. Monk Ensby was lost for a number of' games because of a bad knee and Tony Stiles be- cause of a low scholastic average. R. Mac- Leod filled Stiles' shoes very wellg R. Sims showed promise at Ensby's post until he was forced to leave the team. Don Dean got the call at end next, and he filled the position with credit. There were a number of other injuries this year, but luckily most of them weren't very serious. As other teams pointed to Canton, Canton pointed to Massena which was the other strong contender for top honors of the league. Canton suffered her only loss of the season at the hands of Massena by the large margin of 33 to 6. Massena to-ok the championship of the league. Because of the omission of the cham- pionship game, a second place plaque was awarded to Canton. Although the Golden Bears failed to retake the championship, they had almost as enviable record as last year. This year they won six league games, lost one and tied noneg while last year they won four league games, lost none and tied one. Last year Massena beat the Bears in a non- league game. Here is this year's record: Canton 19 Malone 0 Canton 8 Ogdensburg 0 Canton 13 Saranac Lake 0 Canton 13 Potsdam 7 Canton 20 Gouverneur 0 Canton 39 Tupper Lake 0 Canton 6 Massena 33 Three Golden Bears made the coaches' selection for the All-Northern eleven.

The Golden Bears opened the current season with a roar, meeting and taking all opponents, both league and non-league. They even beat Chateaugay who took the championship of Section 7 when they beat Potsdam. After the Bears won three league games and a number of non-league games, it looked like smooth sailing. With confidence they journeyed to Ogdensburg, only to End that they weren't as invincible as they looked, when O. F. A. took them into camp 30 to 21. The mighty Golden Bears had fallen into a slump! They soon tumbled from first place. and things looked very dark as their speedy descent continued. They won a few games, but the cards seemed to be stacked against them, and they failed to play the same kind of ball they displayed at the beginning of the season. They did, however, manage to squeeze into the play-offs in fourth place. Canton drew Malone for the play-offs. After a bad first half, things picked up, and the Bears landed on the top of the heap to the tune of 34 to 22. For the championship game, they drew Potsdam, a tough opponent in any game. In a hard fought 'battle in which the Bears never seemed to strike their stride, Potsdam won 39 to 26. This championship gave Potsdam permanent possession of the trophy awarded to the team winning the championship three seasons. Potsdam won three times to Canton's once. Statistics on Canton's league season follow. In a total of 16 regularly scheduled league games Canton won ten and lost six, having an average of 625 per cent. The Golden Bears scored 488 points while their opponents were scoring 392 points. By a little arithmetic, we Hnd that Canton scored on an average of 30.5 points a game against their opponents average of 24.5 points a game. Of these points, Ralph Nash, a member of the class of '37, scored 177 points, making himself high scorer not only for Canton but also for the entire league. Along with Paul Patten he was elected for a berth on the All Northern. The scores of the league games were: A Canton Massena 26 Canton Norwood 22 Canton Saranac Lake 18 Canton Ogdensburg 30 Canton Malone 27 Canton Gouverneur 12 Canton Tupper Lake 24 Canton P'otsdam 24 Canton Massena 34 Canton Norwood 28 Canton Saranac Lake 23 Canton Olgdensburg 20 Canton Gouverneur 24 Canton Malone 28 Canton Potsdam 27 Canton Tupper Lake 25 The cgllgonquin Canton glzgb 5617001 BASEBALL This year baseball was introduced to Canton High School as a major sport. Team candi- dates were given greater reasons for trying out by the purchase of uniforms which were paid for -by the sale of season tickets. These uniforms were yellow with Canton written in brown on the front of the shirts. Material was plentiful in every department but pitching. Tupper started the season but was unable to continue. Stiles, Nash and Gary all developed into good men to bear the mound duties throughout the season. When Nash pitched, Northrup played first and the rest of the team usually lined up thus: Ensby, catcher, Nash, first base, McCleod, second base, Patten, shortstop, Patterson, third base, Keough, left fieldg Stone, center field and Longshore, right field, with Sellis, Coakley, Northrup, Seelye and Scalise seeing frequent service. We are a member of the Frontier League and have made a very good showing. Other teams in the league are: Lisbon, Potsdam, Norwood, Madrid, St. Mai-y's, Rensselaer Falls and Heuvelton. Our chances for continuing success in this league are good. Many are lost by graduation but they can be replaced by others who have shown great promise this year.

Officers for the two semesters were elected as follows: Ralph Nash, Presidentg Paul Patten, Vice-Presidentg Francis Stone, Secretary and Treasurer. The total number of members on this year's roster totaled twenty-three. Five business meetings were held during the year. The second annual Varsity C May Dance was held on May lst in the Grammar School Gymnasium. It was recorded as one of the social successes of the year. . At the last meeting of the year held on May 16th it was decided that the organizatibn would be represented again this year in the summer softball season. May success continue to pursue you through many years to come. Ralph Nash TRACK Immediately after Easter vacation, Coach Oliver called for candidates for track. A num- ber reported but many track men devoted their time to baseball. Meets participated in were invitation meets at Malone and Potsdam, and the Van Dusan, Ogdensburg, and the Sectional meets. The showing' of the Canton team as a whole was not impressive although a few members were outstanding. Cghe fffzlgonquin Ganton fihgb School '42 GIRLS' BASKETBALL Early in December, Coach Oliver called for volunteers for the girls' basketball team. Nearly twenty responded. The season started off with a bang, for we were successful in winning the first few games. However, our luck soon changed and we were given the role of graceful losers. The team put forth every effort but our poor luck stuck with us the rest of the season. The team loses three regulars this season by graduationg but regardless of this, the pros- pects of a successful team next year are bright. The Class of '37 wishes that next year's team will receive its share in luck and victory. Lena Lytle, Manager The cglgonquin Canton gagb School Hour Efrarhrm . . .
