Senior Class History That memorable day in June has arrived when the class of 1939 is to be graduated. How glad we areg and yet, how sorry! In the summer of 'thirty-five, we gradu- atedfrom Grammar School to be admitted the following fall to the awe-inspiring por- tals of Canton High School. Ours was one of the largest classes ever to be admitted, but we were still inferior frosl1. However, we were not as meek and mild as the upper- classmen would have liked, for 1l1llCll to their chagrin, we roamed around, often' making our presence felt and often encroaching on upperclassmen's privileges. In our freshman year we were not organ- ized and failed to, elect class officers. As a result, we neither sponsored nor entered many activities. The next year we returned as full-lledged sophomores, a little 1ll0l'6 sophisticated and decorous. We elected John Coakley as Presi- dent, William Keough as Vice-President, and Maxine Davis- as Secretary and Treas- urer. Shirley Claus and Talcott Seelye were our athletic representatives. Under the faculty direction of Miss Currie, we had a much more prontable year, during which several of our athletes were made welcome on various athletic squads. As sophomores we had just cause to be extremely proud as we held the first Sophomore Hop, which was a success both socially and financially. The autumn of 1937 made us upperclass- men and gave us the privilege of looking down on the antics of the freshmen. At our iirst meeting, Jack Leonard was chosen head of our class, tobe assisted by the Vice- President, Rouette McMastersg the Secretary and Treasurer, Maxine Davis, and the ath- letic representatives, .lean Harrington and Harold Stiles. As juniors, we had an event- ful year. We held our annual formal dance, the Junior Prom, which was a great success, due largely to the faculty direction of Miss Lupton. We were also active in athletic affairs this year, as we placed many men on varsity athletic squads and captured the inter-class basketball championship. In September, 1938, we attained our great- est ambition. We were seniors! Jack Leonard was again elected President. Charles Clark was chosen as Vice-President, with Harold Stiles as Secretary and Treas- urer. Lauris Robinson was Athletic Repre- sentative and Mr. Riggs, Faculty Advise1'. The huge task of editing the Algonquin was placed upon our shoulders, but was ably done under the helpful guidance of Miss Bovce and Miss ltoche. The annual Senior Ball is yet to come, as we go to pressg but we know it will be put on with the same success that has characterized former activi- ties of this class. Now our four well-iilled years of high school have come to an end. We have wit- nessed in our time championship football and basketball teams. We have seen the development of baseball as a major sport and the introduction of an annual Sopho- more Hop, as well as many other less promi- nent events. We have appreciated the cooperation of the faculty and the under- classmen and wish to extend our heartiest thanks to them. It is our cherished hope that the year to come will prove as-enjoyable and profitable as the years of the past in Canton High. Nathaleen Barr Jack Leonard. . MM Junior Class The Junior Class has brought to a close a very successful year. Guided by the President, Jack Dunham, the class held several social events, including the Junior Prom, which was considered one of the best dances held in 1'ecent years. The class was well represented in sports, placing six men on the varsity football team and winning the championship in interclass basketball and volley ball. VVe hope that future mem- bers of the Junior Class can carry on the work as successfully as this year's class. Robert McCartney. Sophomore Class ln November, a meeting of our class was held at which the following oflicers were elected: Hilliard Womack, Presidentg Helen Post, Vice-Presidentg Eileen Maroney, Sec- retary-Treasurerg James Kelly and Nellie Cotter, Athletic Representatives, and Miss O'Hara, Class Advise1'. The S0phomo1'e Hop was held April 29, 1939, in the high school and proved to be a great success. Eileen Maroney. The Algonquln
