Canton High School Class Prophecy - 1938 Good evening. ladies and gentlemen! We are broadcasting from the Super-Autogyro of 1948 now cruising over the U. S. at an altitude of 20 miles in the stratosphere. This evening we will visit, by the aid of our 500 inch telescope. the various members of the Canton High School graduating class of 1938. This program is being sponsored by a former member of that class, James Nash, now president of Super-Autogyros Incorpor- ated. And now for the 0tll0l' graduates of 1938. Circling around Canton we see Connolly Barr emerging from the doo1's of good old Canton High. Now don't be alarmed. He is there now as the Latin teacher, not as a student. Why. there's his bosom pal, Bill Bell, now Professor of English! Directly behind the Grammar School is the gigantic Besaw Skating Emporium, sponsored by that well known magnate of big business, Frederick Besaw. Featured artist on the nightly program is that S5100,000 per week star, Mavis Shaw. However, due to a pending 510,000,000 movie contract, Miss Shaw will be in Canton only two weeks. At the end of that time she will return to Hollywood to make a series of pictures with that adored idol of millions of feminine movie fans, Leo Apollo Kelly! Now we return you to our New York studios for ten minutes of swing and sway with Kenny Mayhew and his Hoosier Hot- shots. There will be a trio starring Kenny at the drums, Jimmie McCormick with his silver-tongued trumpet, and Arthur Gary, master of the jews harp. We are now flying over the poultry farm, best in the state. which is operated by Otis MlacDonald and Ashton O'Brien. It has been rumored that this farm owes its success to the poetry that Ashton writes and reads to the hens. There will be a brief pause for station identification. Back again to the Super-Autogyro. This time as we fly lower, we see Pauline Peter- son and Mark Sellis, with their usual escorts, but this time it's their own family, not hers. YVe have just received a special news flash here at the Super-Autogyro, telling us that Donald MacFadden. prominent District At- torney of New York City, has just been fined for the sixth time for contradicting His Honor Glenn Newman, who has risen to the high position of justice through his expres- sive manner a.nd excellent ability in public speaking. Just a minute folks. Mr. Mac- Fadden has just been fined again for being two hours late at his own hearing! Another news flash! Fifty people in one of the well-known hospitals, built by that millionaire philanthropist, Richard Murray, have become critically ill. due to improper feeding. Frances Howard. the head dieti- tian. is being held. pending investigation. As we circle over the hamlet of Morley, we notice a cozy little farm tucked away in the hills. This is the humble abode of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lawrence. Mrs. Lawrence is the former Ruth O'Neil. On a neighbor- ing farm, resides one of their former class- mates, Jack Moore, now a successful farmer. The Super-Autogyro is now speeding ac1'oss the continent to California, where Maxwell Fisk, seven times winner of the Nobel Science Prize, is studying the action of split atoms on ice cream. Mhx isn't lone- some out here, for several of his high school classmates are also enjoying this sunny climate. Mildred Brown, noted clairvoyant, has a studio in Hollywood, where such famous personalities as Dorothy Todd, news- paper columnistg Harriet Brown, noted gown designer: and Stanley Thompson, temperamental movie director, come to have their fate predicted. Back again to New York State. This time we take you to the State Fair, where that renowned judge of farm products, Clisson Brown, has been asked to judge a pint of rye and a bushel of the same grain. Mr.. Brown has decided that a dollar for the first. is too much and sixty cents for the second is too little. Another entry is Warren Whit- temore. Pardon me, folks, Warren's 1,0001 pound porker is the entry-my mistake. Back to Canton, now the metropolis of' Northern New York, we see the Dawley Garage which occupies one whole block. The most remarkable thing about this: garage is the large number of cars sold by that master of super-salesmen, George Dawley, owner of the establishment. He sells every prospect a car and all his pros- pects are women. Second only to George is Paul Patten. That static which you hear is caused by a huge black cloud through which we are now passing. A correction, please. The cloud is merely a swarm of Edmund Peterson's' bees. Mr. Peterson is a world famous. authority on bees, and his equally famous assistant is Herbie Grant. Mr. Grant is quite immune to the sting of the bees, for he was stung several times in high school. Leo Hewlett, professor of history at Harvard. will broadcast from this station later in the day on the subject, Why Study History? Professor Hewlett's well modu- lated voice has won its way into the homes of millions of intelligent listeners. He at- tributes his interest in history to Mr. Alli- son. his history teacher of high school days. And now to the nation's capital, Wash, ington, D. C., where a huge federal drilling project has just been passed. Donald Nash, following in the footsteps of his father, has secured the contract. However. the act provides that each Congressman shall have his teeth fixed and Donald, being a success- ful dentist, will limit his drilling to their molars. The Algonquhi Canton High School We now go to Ringling Brothers' Circus in Omaha, Nebraska, where Charles Sims, noted strong man, has just amazed the in- habitants by holding five pounds of peanuts above his head for twelve hours. Unfortu- nately, at the end of the twelve hours the peanuts fell into Charlie's mouth. It would have been all right but the shells hadn't been taken off the peanuts. With Charlie is one of his former high school classmates, .lack Tierney, who is substituting for the human question box. Lawrence MacDonald has just written an illustrated book entitled, Learn How to Spell Correctly in Ten Easy Lessons. Theodore Tracy is now driving one of the school buses. Helen Race, now Mrs. Tracy, is his assistant. The bus comes in handy when they want to take the family for a ride. And now for an eight minute intermission of music from our Hollywood studios where Bill Walsh and his all girl orchestra con- sisting of Helen Carlton, Catherine Cam- eron, Ardis Harrington, Thelma Rawson, Ethel Rogers, and others will entertain you. The maestro himself will croon the old class song of '38 and the program will end with a duet by Helena Infantine, bass, and Chester Wight, soprano. Mary and Margaret McGraw have become famous by doing a sister act in a New York night club. As we fly back around this neck of the woods again, we see a new business in Canton. Two of our former classmates, girls too, have gone into the lumbering business. VVho are they? Why, Eleanor Woods and Barbara Wood. WOOD you have foreSAW it. Another new business in Canton, a fashion club, where the members model the styles. This club is sponsored by Marian Weeman, our bashful bantam beauty. The theatre in Canton, owned by Sophie Mahoney and Keitha Hewlett, is directly below us now. What's this they're advertis- ing? Why it's that famous actress, Eileen Tracy, who is well-known for her bored manner. Near Morley we see the glittering sign of a new night club, The Swing Club. Fea- tured artists are: Pauline Davies, torch singer: Mary Dean and Mary Elliot, who are general entertainers and who help to make everything merry fMaryJg Orpha Gillette, who divides her time between entertaining the patrons of the Swing Club and singing to the chickens on her farm. Miss Gillette is an advocate of the theory, Music in- creases productionf' The Swing Club also features the orchestra of Libbie Lupton, famous pianist. Publicity agent of this famed orchestra is no other than our old friend, Beverly Swift. Back in Canton again, we hear that this famous little town has a great ball team. And why not? It's managed by that expert on baseball, Erma Kenney. Her ball players do their best at all times because who should be assitant manager but Irene Ken- yon. Mary Howard is the only woman mem- ber of the team, and she holds down that important position of pitcher. Helen Hart and Olive Robinson have reached the top of the ladder of success by writing a book of new nursery rhymes. The book is aptly illustrated by pictures drawn by Drusilla McEwen. Another musical interlude. This time we'll hear Local Varieties a program of hit tunes, crooned by William O'Horo and Edna Lawrence. The first hit that you will hear was written by two of their former class- mates, Donald Gilson and Raymond Dishaw. Flying towards Potsdam we see the Ideal Honeymoon Cottage, owned by that famous business woman, Winifred Taylor. Miss Taylor has employed the perfectly matched pair to occupy the Cottage. and show vis- itors through it. The couple? Why, Rich- ard Wicks and Vivian Clark. And what is that strange object there in the field below us? We fly lower, and there before an easel sits one of Northern New York's greatest artists, none other than Harvey Gill. He is busily sketching some- thing that slightly resembles a cow, but it is difficult to tell just where the cow leaves off and the landscape begins. And now before taking our leave of this familiar country, we circle once more over Canton High, our dearly-loved seat of learn- ing. Suddenly from one of the doors comes the figure of Marjorie Nash. In her arms are heaped many articles and objects, which we are unable to distinguish, but it is safe to say that Marjorie is still playing handy man to the present teacher of dramatics. We soar far above St. Lawrence County, leaving Canton and its host of fond memo- ries behind. And in another ten years, we hope to make this same remarkable trip aboard the Super-Autogyro! Marjorie Nash. Warren Whittemore.

Senior Class History In the fall of 1934, we landed proudly at our new landing field, namely Canton High, as green and inexperienced flyers, having left the Grammar School on our initial fiight the preceding June. Being unused to our new tasks, we seemed to fly blind through the first semester, after which we began to get under way. Life was made a little easier for the girls by a get acquainted party given by the girls of the class of '35g but for the boys, the first year of high school was rather uneventful. At our first and only class meeting, the The Algonquh1 Canton High School officers were elected as follows: President, Donald Nash: Vice-President, Paul Patten: Secretary-'l'reasurer. Francis Stone. Our class adviser was Miss Roche. Our Sophomore year was an exceptionally bright spot in our flying caree1'. No casu- alties or other unusual events are recorded for this year. Officers of our air corps were elected as follows: President. Paul Patten: Vice-President, Donald Nashg Secretary- Treasurer. Kenneth Mayhew. Mr. Blank- man was our worthy class adviser. For the most part. this year was spent in industrious study to prepare us for our role as upper classmen during our next two years in high school. During our Junior year. we began to have more confidence in our wings. Paul Patten was the veteran Pilot of our airship, with Frances Howard as Co-Pilot and Mavis Shaw as Flight-Recorder. Mr. Riggs was our class adviser, and it is to him that we attribute the shining success of the Junior Prom of the class of i38. After bid- ding farewell to the departing class of '37, we took their place at the stick. W'hen we became worthy upperclassmen, Donald MacFadden held the honorable posi- tion of Class President. Donald Nash and Paul Patten held the respective positions of Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Riggs acted as our experienced and able adviser. Behind us, are twelve for morel long years of faithful study and school attend- ance. Ahead of us, is the future for which we have been preparing ourselves. Present- ly we will leave our old familiar landing field to explore new fields of study and work. We have tried our wings and know how to use them well. We are all willing to use this knowledge to the best advantage in order to make a bright, happy, and suc- cesssful future for all concerned. During our years in Canton High School, we have seen championship teams in both basketball and football, for the first time in many years. We have seen baseball become an active sport in our school. Dramatics has achieved a high standard in school activities. More extensive decoration for the formal dances, as well as an annual Sophomore Hop was introduced. We are proud and happy to link our names with some of these outstanding events. We wish to extend hearty thanks to the underclass- men for the thoughtfulness and kind co- operation that have made these things pos- sible: and to express our sincere hope that the following Seniors will have as much to look back upon proudly as we have had. As we take off from the Canton High Landing Field, we write in the sky the familiar words of our motto- The higher we rise, the broader the view. Mavis Shaw. MM CLASS SONG 0, 'thirty-nine and 'forty, And class of 'forty-one, COIHG follow, we exhort ye, ln the footprints we've begun. With due respect do not neglect To pay high def'rence to our intellect And bow! Yes. bow! Right now? And how! To the class of 'thirty-eight! Just how we reached our glory, We'll now to you confess, We'll tell to you the story Of our wonderful success: We'd never, never, fool in school, And always studied-as a rule-in school. What fool? Yes, fool! ln school? What school? Why. dear old Canton High School! And now sad parting wrenches Us from our dear high school, VVe leave our carved benches To sit a higher stool. We feel-oh yes !-we feel distress VVhen we march forever out of C. H. S. So pass-alas! The class-the class- The Seniors of nineteen thirty-eight! -XVords and music by Libbie Lupton and William Walsh. CLASS POEM So proud the class of 'thirty-eight, Who leave good C. H. S.: We'll ever keep our goal in sight, And march on to success. We leave our friends, so dear to us, To search for greater thingsg For happiness and truth and light. Our heart with courage rings. May everything we do and say Be wrought in great successg And everyone who leaves this place Be crowned with nobleness. Abiding love for this, our school, Will live within our hearts, And links which bound us all so close Shall never break apart. We cannot all be Caesars bold And conquer worlds unknown: But we can reap our harvest rich From good seeds we have sown. XVe'll do our part: we'll pass the test What is the test? you ask.

During our .Freshman year, we did not enter many activities and failed to elect class offivers. As Sophomores, however, we had a more profitable year. The result of the vlass elev- tion was: John Coakley, President: William Keough, Vive-Presidentg Maxine Davis, Sevretary-Treasurer3 and Shirley Claus and Talvott Seelye, athletic representatives. Miss Currie was elected elass adviser. The social event of the year was the Sophomore Hop. This year. 1938. as Juniors, we have had an eventful year. XVe held the annual formal dance. the Junior Prom, and as all vlasses say regarding their Prom, we say, Ours was the best yet. The Glass ofiivers elevted were: Jolm Leonard, President Rouette M0Masters, Vice'Presidentg Maxine Davis, Sec-retary-Treasurerg and Harold Stiles and Jean Harrington, athletic repre- sentatives Miss Lupton was eleeted class adviser. Next year will be our last in school to- gether. We hope to have this coming year, the most prosperous and eventful of all. We hope to obtain all honors possible and to be able to iill well the vacancies of the 1938 seniors, as we Inove up to take their places. Maxine Davis.

The objectives of this fraternity are: to promote brotherhood, to benefit the school, to promote high scho- lastic standings among its members, and to give its members social advantages. These objectives have been succesfully carried out for 34 years and the present members intend to continue in the same manner. The oiiicers this year were: President, Paul Patten: Vice-President, Charles Clarkg Secretary- Treasurer, Francis Stone. The main social events of this year were as follows: a well-attended dance, a picnic to be proud of, an entry in the school circus parade, and the annual spring banquet. We were well represented in the school activities this year. Last fall on the grid- iron, there were sixteen men' to receive the block C. and ten of those were members of this fraternity. On the basketball court, there were six letter-men, five of whom were O. A. P.'s. This spring on tl1e diamond and on the cinder track, we were well repre- sented. Two members of the cast of Drums of Death were chosen from among our ranks. Now at the close of this school year, we who remain after graduation are already looking forward to a coming year of con- tinued success. Charles Clark. My XYZ? Fraternity ' The XYZ? fraternity, since it was organ- ized in 1908, has ranked high in scholastic, athletic, and social endeavor. The oiiicers are: President, Ward Hamilton: Vice- President, Charles Sims: Secretary, Chester Wight, Treasurer, Donald MacFadden. Initiation was held in May, and seven new members were admitted to the fraternity, bringing the total number of members up to twenty-one. The social events of the year were a banquet and a picnic. The class of 1938 feels that it has kept the fraternity's honor high and that it has done its best to promote good fellowship. My - Pi Pi chi Early in February, 1938, a group of stu- dents organized a new fraternity, the Pi Pi Chi. Its object is to provide another active organization among the boys and to take an interested part in all school events. A democratic constitution was drawn up, and a new progressive executive govern- mental body was installed. The senior ofiicer is Donald Nashg junior ofiicer, Harold Stilesg and sophomore officer, Allan Nash. The underclass officers advance each year, and a new sophomore officer is elec- ted. The secretary is George Dawley and the treasurer, Paul Hull. The number of members shall not at any time exceed fif- teen. This selective group will be well worth watching in years to come. Donald Nash. The Algonquin Canton High School i 6 Photoplay Club Our purpose is to learn through the use of visual aids, to study the telling of stories in pictures, and to guide students toward a fuller appreciation of the motion-picture art. We study motion-picture mechanics, the stage play versus the motion picture, the literary classic versus the motion pic- ture, and the elements of cinema apprecia- tion. This club is a recent addition to the ever- increasing program of extra-curricular acti- vity. lt is under the guidance of Mrs. Brid- get Cunningham, whose interest and ability insure its success. Oiiicers were: President, Eloise Hutchinsg Vice-Presi' dent. Ledyard Hale: Secretary, Robert Hosmerg Treasurer, Reuette Mc-Masters. Eloise Hutchins. The Fix-It Club The outstanding success of the year was a spaghetti supper. Fourteen new members were initiated into the club. The oiiicers this year were: President, Orpha Gilletteg Vice-President, Beulah Crossmang Secre- tary-Treasurer, Marion Peters: Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, Edra Morrow: Club Adviser, Miss Marguerite Sanford. The club sponsored several outdoor cook- ing meets before the close of school. Everyone feels that this club will be a great help to all girls interested in Home Economics. There are many enthusiastic supporters of the club: and under the able direction of Miss Sanford, the Club has im- proved greatly during the past year. Marion Peters. The Algonquin Canton High School F. F. A. Club The Future 'Farmers had a line variety of activities throughout the school year. under the capable leadership of their President. Clisson Brown. The other otlicers were: Vice-President. Theodore Tracy, Secretary. WValter Lawrence: Treasurer. NVilliam 0'Horo: News Reporter. Robert Locyg NVatch Dog, ,Frederick Sykes. The judging team made an excellent show- ing. Entered in six events. they brought back a silver plaque and various ribbons. A banquet was held, to which the parents of the boys were invited. A basketball team was developed. and the boys also expected to have a soft ball team. Walter Lawrence. The Amazons The Amazons is a new sorority, estab- lished this year under the auspices of our Latin teacher. Miss Lupton. Sixty Junior, Sophomore, and Senior girls enjoyed good times together. The Amazons was organ- ized for the purpose of encouraging an in- terest in sports among the girls of C. H. S. This club has proved a great success in the past and the remaining members look for- ward to future years of great achievement. Oiiicers were: President, Libby Lupton: Vice-President, Helen McMastersg Secre- tary, June Severance: Treasurer, Peg McGraw. The Algonquin Canton High School The Orchestra The orchestra is an organization which was started this year. Last year, Miss Dominy organized a String Ensemble. In June, she gathered together a few bass and wind instruments, put them with the string', group and they played for the Grammar School graduation. In September, more strings were admitted to the organi- zation and it has been steadily growing ever since they played at the one-act play for the iirst time as a real orchestra. They entered the annual Regional Contest in April. Here's to their good luck. We hope that the orchestra will continue to do its best, which is the most any one or any organization can do. Good luck, members. Mary McGraw. lo Madrigal Choir and Girls' Chorus A chosen g1'0up of grammar school and high school pupils have organized a mad- rigal choir. The choir's first appearance at the prize-speaking contest, was very well re- ceived by the audience. The members of the choir are: Ruth Currie, Marian Smith, Helen VVight, Maxine Davis, Genevieve Barber, Vera Dafoe. Esther Howard, Rouette Mc- Masters, Allan Sykes, Ralph Robins, Ed- mund Peterson, Paul Hull, Richard Robins, and George Watson. Also a newly-organized group is the Girls' Chorus. Although not as far advanced as the chorus, the eighteen girls have made great improvement since September, and next year promise some line work. The members are: Angeline Duskas, Enetta Moore, Betty Jane Paro, Dorothy Conger, Nadine Smith, Helen Melrose, Jean Merrill, Lillian Clark, Miary Clark, Rita Heffernon, Charlotte Moore, Phyllis Fuller, Marilyn Buys, Mlarjorie Wight, Libbie Lupton, Helen McMaster-s, Shirley Claus, and Rita Coloton. Libbie Lupton and Edmund Peterson. The Algonquin Canton High School The Band Fndcr the able direction of Miss Dominy, the Canton School Band progressed so much that it received lirst prize at the Band Con- test sponsored by the Gouverneur Fair in 1937. At the beginning of this current year, new programs were issued. with the bicture of the band decorating the front cover. ln December. six members journeyed to the music clinic in Ithaca. Prom time to time. our band took part in school activities and village celebrations. The annual concert was held in February. On April 30, the band received the rating superior at the annual contest held in Ogdensburg. Although several members will be lost by graduation, we are wishing our band another prosperous year in 1938-39. On May 7. this band received a rating of highly superior at the state contest held at Amsterdam, N. Y. Herbert Grant. National Thespians To be a member of the National Thespians is the greatest honor that can be paid to a high school student in the field of drama- tics. In Canton High School, the group is not very large or very active. because the qualiiications for membership are high and because few students earn those qualiiica- tions before their senior year. The National Thespian Society is reserved as a higher honor for those who have served their ap- prenticeship in The Masquersf' This year the Thespians held one formal initiation. The live new members were: Mavis Shaw, Mildred Brown, Alice Reese, Frederick Barbour, and Arthur VVilliams. The only two old members were Donald Maclladden and Warren Whittemore. It is hoped that through an active pro- gram of dramatics, in which participation will be more widespread, more pupils will be eligible to the National Thespians. Alice Reese. Hobby Club The Hobby Club for Sophomore and Junior girls was organized March 2. 1938, for the purpose of developing personalities and worthwhile hobbies at the same time. Oiiicers elected were: President, Vera Dafoe, Vice-President, Dolly Scott: Secre- tary, Angeline Duskasg Treasurer, Mary Clark. Vera Dafoe. Girl's Basketball This year, a new athletic program was introduced for girls. Instead of having but one team. eight teams were formed and played intramural basketball. Eight cap- tains were chosen, who selected the names of colleges they would represent. From approximately eighty participants in the sport, the captains chose their teammates. This system has proved to be very satisfac- tory because it enables more girls to take part in the athletic program of the school. Mary Howard. The Algonquin Canton High School r 1 FIRST RUXV Qleft to rightj: Seelye. Patterson, Patten. Clark, Coaklf-y, SECOND RUWV: Coach Oliver, Murray, J. Nash. Sellis. Basketball As soon as the final game of football was played. Coach Oliver ealled for those inter- ested in basketball to report. The squad was picked, and Coach Oliver fared the task of making an aggressive team. He eentered his point of attaf-k around Captain Paul Patten, his only veteran. As the season progressed, the Golden Bears progressed. Captain Patten held a group of cagey players together throughout the season. To aid him. he had Charles Clark and Walter Patterson. both good defensive men: Taleott Seelye. tall centerg and John Coakley, an aggressive guard. The most impressive early season game was the one in which the Bears defeated the fast Aggie quintet, 37 to 32. The league season opened with Canton defeating Norwood, and for six straight games the Bears remained unde- feated. Potsdam, however. defeated the Bears to end the first half of the league srhedule. ln the seeond half. the Golden Bears suffered defeat at the hands of Massena. Malone, Gouverneur. and Potsdam. The most exciting game of this period was Can- ton's win over Tupper Lake. 35 to 34, after being behind 20 to 7 at the half. The league season ended with Potsdam defeating the Bears 26 to 21. Potsdam finished in first place with 15 wins and one loss. Canton finished second with 11 wins and 5 losses. In the play-offs, Canton drew Potsdam and outclassed their rivals, 32 to 28. In'the ehampionship. Canton lost a hard fought game to Tupper Lake, 23 to 27. A few statistics about the team show that t'Tal0 Seelye scored the most points in any single game, 14 points against Malone. Cap- tain Paul Patten was a. unanimous choice for a position on the all-star league first team. In league games Canton seored 409 points to their opponents 368 for an average of 25.6 points per game as against the opponents' 23 points. The results of the league games were: Canton Opponents 21 ..,,...... Norwood .,..........,. 11 79 .. ... Massena .,........ . . . .. 16 32 Saranac Lake 23 25... ...Malone....... ....24 28 . . .. .

The largest squad in several years reported, and they looked very impressive. However, as the season progressed, the Golden Bears, hampered by injuries, were victims of nu- merous defeats. Dame Fortune had failed again to smile upon the Golden Bears. Coach Oliver, after several days of prac- tice, selected his first team to represent Canton High School on the gridiron for the 1937 season. His first selection for the var- sity was: Half-backs, C. Sims and C. Clark: Full-back, H. Stiles: Quarterback, PPatten: Ends, W. Woods and L. Kelly: Tackles, NV. Nash and F. Besawg Guards, D. Nash and L. Robinsong and Center, F. Stone. ln the first league game, injuries took their toll of the Golden Bears. Leo. Kelly, a pro- mising end. received a dislocated elbow early in the first quarter. Muscle Robin- son and Charlie Clark also received injuries. Don Dean and Jim Nash filled Kelly's shoes very well. As the season continued. other injuries occurred and severely crippled the Golden Bears. When the season closed, only two players out of the original eleven .selected as the starting team remained un- injured. A new backileld, John Coakley and Jack Dunham, replaced the injured Paul Patten and Charlie Clark. Charlie Sims, having been forced from the team. left his backfield position to John Cunning- ham. These players, with Tony Stiles, finished the remaining league games. The early season second team became the first team as the season came to a close. This year the Golden Bears, led by Cap- tain Francis Stone, won one league game and lost six. The Bears, although defeated many times, never lost their fighting spirit. The most impressive game of the season was with Ogdensburg. The Burg had a winning team and were heavily favored to defeat the crippled Bears. The Golden Bears stunned the fans by holding an ad- vantage over this team of 7 to 6 for three and a half quarters. However. by a quick break, the Bruins were defeated in the closing minutes, 12 to 7. Here is this year's record of league games. Canton Opponents 0 ....... , . .

A new system of scor- ing and a new management of events were worked out. The Golden Bears had a very successful season. The mainstays of the team were Paul Patten. Walt Lawrence, 'l'alc Seelye. Charlie Clark. Jim McCor- mick. Jack Dunham, Bill Keough and Alan King. Walt Lawrence was the favorite half- miler. while Herb Grant and Jack Leonard carried mile ll0l10l'S.

From these meets. the men will gather experience, cour- age. and self-satisfaction in their work. The men who did come out showed much enthusiasm for the sport. The slowness in forming a team may be attributed to the lack ot equipment and place to work out. In the future, there will be no cause for this slowness. because the formation and practice will be ready early in the season. Bill Schwartz, Acting Coach.
