C5l7e cfffzlgonquin Gonton ffliglv School ff r SCHOOL BAND Since the organization of the band in the fall of 1934, it has been blowing great things under the baton of Miss Elizabeth Drominy. 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.

Imtfgn, Cough Oliver, C, Cunninglmm. 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. Two were representatives of the class of '37, Ralph Nash and f'Willy L-ongshoreg the other was Paul Patten, a Junior.
