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. Four years we have ended Of 'both work and play. But, wherever we roam Out in the wild world, alone, We will ever, remember Canton High as our home. The torch we now hold May it never grow coldg For we'll endeavor, forever Its faith to uphold. And her praises from heav'n Will forever be giv'n. We'1l shout its wonders like thunder, Our class of '37. Elsie Tupper Ralph Nash

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

Palro, Fisk. iatnrg nf the 3luninr Ollaaa The school year ending in 1935 found the Juniors of this year leaving the good old Grammar School with eight years of our long journey complete. 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. Mavis Shaw
