E Uhr Z-Xlgnnquin 15 4 4 Iguhliahvh hg the Svrninr 0115155 Olantun Qigh Srhunl Bvhiratrh as a token of esteem and gratitude to Miss Mary Ella Bovee, who has given us an example of untiring zeal, patience, and devotion to duty, which we shall strive not only to admire, but to imitate. Nl XRY ELLA ISUYIGE. ILS. Memories are the most cherished treasures of life. It seems hard to realize that we, the Class of '44, will some day join the ranks of those who obtain greatest pleasure from looking backward rather than ahead. In moments of retro- spection, this Algonquin will help us retain clearer pictures of the best days of our lives. It is our ultimate goal, there- fore, to compose a book which will delight us, not only now, but in the future. The Editor. Ein Memoriam Although we were favored by her companionship for only a short time, we shall always remember her with pleasure-a bright, happy s face and a sweetness of disposition that nothing could spoil. May peace be hers, and light eternal! SHIRLEY E. MICHAELS Im Huw lu-smoml tpzlrtizlll. Moor:-. White, Malylwe. lloslve, Martin. N4-1-mul llow I,mlgslun'1-. 1'wu-uv-Il. Runslney, llurlwr, Estallwvook.

Gllaaa lgrnpherg--1944 Through the remote-control facilities of sta- tion CHS, we now switch you into the future to our county fair-15 years hence. It is the year 1959. Our announcers will attempt to describe the personalities present and the var- ious scenes of activity. 'Round and round it goesg and, where it stops, nobody knows!' '1'hat's right, ladies and gentlemen-it's none other than the merry-go-round, run by the one and only Don Estabrook, who admits that it does make him dizzy sometimes. As we leave Don entertaining the younger generation, we come to a small-.tent, myster- iously shrouded in secrecy. Lets go in-just for fun! Well, if it isn't Artemis Duskas, one of those cognizant fortune tellers. Any news for us, Artie? After that enlightening f?J escapage, we venture forward to find something calmer and less revealing. The sign on the tent door says, 'they're a hitl' The crowd seems to think the sameg so does the barker, Nelson Bessette, who doesn't know whether to mind the crowd or watch his own show. Jostling our way through the mass of people, we finally enter, our curiosity getting the better of our good judgment. And, no wonder-the 'Light-footed Lindy Hoppers' are now performing. They are our old classmates Eleanor Aldous, Louise Bascom, Mary Burwell, Barbara Bennett, and Carmela Capalario. But we can't linger here as much as we'd like to. There are plenty of other shows to be seen before the day is through. Oh, yes, here's an interesting performance -the ball-rolling contest. Just guess whom we find here-Marian Barber and Lois Gray. Such precision, such accuracy! fThere are mats on the floor-just in casel. Careful, girls, that man over there is going to set off a fire-cracker. But we'll stop him! Well, imagine that-Jim Locy. How come you're not a part of the show, Jim? Oh, you're a scient- ist-for the Better-Cows-And-How-To-Keep- Them-So Company. Rather interesting, I presume? Well, so long, Jim, see you around sometime. h Gee, we're getting hungly. Wonder if there is anything good to eat over in that booth '! Well, it it 1sn't Bettie Barr and Winnie Connor. I.ei's see-hotdogs, lemonade, candy-what's that fuzzy, pink stuff there? Cotton candy? Well, there's always a first time! So long, girls. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this certain- ly is cotton alright. What was that noise? Sounded like it came from the Hell-Driver's staugum, Oh, there's been an accident! Colin McLean, famous Hell- Driver, has been hurt. His companion, Denzil Bowman, is trying to untangle him from the debris. There he is now-not much the worse for wear. Well, let's continue. There's one of those guess-your-weight affairs. I'm going to try it. Hello, Dunk! This is Earl Dundelburg, folks! Same, jolly, carefree Dunk. And right near Dunk is the glass-eater-none other than Don Forsythe, He's going to regret it some dayjr Passing by the adjacent tent, we see the sign to the Midget show, 'Bob and Margaret.' That probably means Bob Moore and Mar- garet Bates, but who'd ever thought they'd shrink to such dimensions? I wonder who those three good-looking ma- rines are over there? It looks like Joe Burn- ham, Jack Cornell, and John Haney. They just got back from Poland where they were sta- tioned so many years ago. When the war ended these boys thought their chances among the opposite sex were better if they remained where they were less well-known. Right along here somewhere is the day show -oh, yes, to the right! Larry Ames and his wife, the former Helen Cardinal, seem to have done one swell job of training those pups! What a show! Say, I don't believe I've told you about any ol' the flower or vegetable shows yet, have I? Let's try a couple. Here's one-Mary Brown, Ruby Dandy, Clara Briggs, and Bertha Law- rence. Just look at the gorgeous Bowers- lilacs, pansies, and tulips. Did you girls raise those by yourselves? Excellent work! This vegetable show next door looks interesting. I might have known it-Ed Martin and Doug Mayhew. My, those potatoes certainly look interesting. They're a new variety--grown without skins, and when they're removed from the ground, they're already parboiled! We just learned from Ed that Francis Mul- vaugh and Loana LaVare, engaged to be mar- ried in the near future, were called away on business early yesterday morning. Even though they cannot be here in person, we know they are in spirit. Margaret Fitzgerald and Mary Elizabeth Grant just strolled by. It seems that they are secretaries to the manager, Bill Smith, and they really haven't a thing to do. Well, imagine that-Elizabeth Desmond and Helen Kenyon selling balloons. No, thanks, girls. I really couldn't afford one at the mo- ment. And there's Shirley Jones! I wonder what she's up to-probably she's stirring up the crowd to find someone to trade with the Lone- ly Hearts' Club. She's the advertising man- ager, you know. There's the knife-throwing show. Blackie Hayden, aided by the able Betty Carraher, is performing one of his miraculous deeds. Be sure to hit the apple and not Betty's head, Blackie. And now I turn the mike over to our other announcer for further description of the fair. The first person I notice is Bill Smith, gen- eral manager of this great fair. To the right of the microphone is the loop-the-loop and right in front of the ticket window, buying tickets ffor their ten children-they left the other five at homej, is none other than Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Woodley. t'Near by, and at a distance of about 50 feet above my head are the famous tight rope walkers, Jane Maroney, Grace Peters, and Lois Newman, performing with utmost accuracy their difficult stunts. Oh! Here in front of me is the renowned fire-eater, Janet Manley, now tasting the flames of the glowing, red hot torch! Her co- performer is Spark Phalon. On my left are the two clowns, Wicky and Wacky, previously known as Jerry Stover and Frank Norton respectively. As we move along towards the other side of the grounds, I see a treacherous looking black snake. Coming closer, I observe that the snake is winding itself about the audacious snake charmer, Jean Wade. A popular orchestra is playing a weird sort of music. The orchestra leader is Lois Miller, capably assisted by William Rocco and Rich- ard Blow-your-Horn Power. The brilliant bareback rider, Betty Merrill, in the middle of her grandstand performance, was thrown from her horse. The ambulance has just come on to the field to pick her up. The driver is Otis Van Horne, and the litter bearers include Donald White and Lloyd Thomas. According to the doctor, Charles Pennock Reynolds, Miss Merrill is not ser- iously injured, only having broken the bones in her right arm, and left leg, and fractured her skull. Now, directly in front of the mike is the famous Rhumba couple, Helen Leonard and Roy Paro, who have broken all records on their extensive travels in the Southwest Pa- cific, entertaining the natives. They discov- ered, much to their surprise, that the natives were able to teach them a few tricks. 'Coming around the refreshment booth is the noted philanthropist, Robert Murphy. He has amassed unknown wealth from his peanut sales. With the portable mike your announcer now proceeds to the north side of the fair grounds. The greatest activity at the moment is centered around a huge tent. As I approach the tent, I see none other than the famous 'Expert on Empty Hearts,' Mr. Howard Rou- shey. According to his own past experiences, we can think of no one better suited to give advice on this subject. It is said that John Wells and the former Corrine Rose were brought together through this expert's untir- ing efforts. The courtship between James Todd and Leona Norton was also a result of Howard's advice. Mr. Roushey, himself, how- ever, has managed to remain a bachelor all these years? At the next booth, the well-known tiger trainers, the Longshore twins, Mary and Muggie, are creating a real sensation, per- forming some daring maneuvers with their wild tiger trio. Towering above all the other structures is the high bar. The widely acclaimed trapeze artists, Beverly Mousaw and Anna Radway, are hanging by their feet from the bar 40 yards from the ground. These girls have cer- tainly attained a high place for themselves. Your announcer is now in the side show district. At the moment a trio of lady jitter- bugs, Florence Perry, Emma Mastrocola and Marilyn Tracy, are attracting the masculine spectators. The only two women fire fighters in cap- tivity, Joyce Thomas and Keitha Paro, have just whizzed by on their little fire scooters. We are told that the daring fire-eater, Janet Manley, has received a heart burn. However, these two fire-fighters are quickly extinguish- ing the flame, even as we look on! The microphone is now in front of the bur- lesque show, the last tent on this lane. The manager-barker for this show is drawing a large crowd from other parts of the grounds by his clever barking. I might mention that the barker is your old friend of high school days-Wayne Whittemore. The attractive burlesque specialists are Betty White, Marie Rodee, and Helen Maybee. These gals are ex- tremely popular with all the folks fespecially the childrenl at this great fair. This concludes our description of this an- nual county fair. I now switch you back 15 years and return you to our CHS Studios. Glass mill--1544 We, the graduating class, do at this time be- queath the treasures that we have acquired during the past four years to our faculty and underclassmen: To the Board of Education a complete fac- ulty that will remain in its line of duty the en- tire year, without interruption from Uncle Sam!

She also agrees to throw in her Pig tails with this special offer. Bill Smith leaves his car to any on-coming senior who wishes to run a free taxi service for the fellows at noon.

Gllaaa ill-Iiatnrg--1944 When we entered Canton High in the fall of 1940, we never thought it would be possible to graduate-the time would just never come! But it has, and here we sit on the stage of our auditorium for the final incident-graduation. If it would not be considered improper, we would tear off these gray robes and run, in spite of the salutatorian's hearty welcome. Still, we would feel odd if we finished a four- year course without celebration or ceremony. Maybe people don't realize or remember how trying graduation is, but possibly it's alright after it's over. Why, though, is graduation night always the hottest of the year? Looking in retrospect over our four years we feel regret upon leaving. Our minds scan the curious and unimportant things that make high school what it is. We recall our first week as freshmen and how we counted the squares in the ceiling of the Latin room Qthere are 278, not counting the partial onesj . . . and that same week how we were told that we were the greenest bunch of freshmen that had ever en- tered . . . how Mrs. 0'Hara-Bovee taught us the three types of governments-complete with intricate diagrams-but darned if I can re- member one of them now , . . how we made our first timid ibut soon to grow bolderj attempts at social life . . . We also remember the none- too-appetizingqbefore-lunch alcoholrpreserved specimans in the biology room . . . and the piano without any ivories in the lower hall fsomehow it can still give out with good jive, thoughj . . , and the long-empty candy machine beside it fit won't work on slugsl . . . and Mr. Williams' other office that always seemed so empty . . , and the clattery noises that came out of typing class . . . boys sitting on the courthouse curb in May and October with their pantlegs up-rolled, exposing resplendant sox, and girls crunching down the aisle in huar- achos and those pictures on the study hall walls -we can't remember the details of them after 1200 hours of gazing . . . and how we romanti- cally recited Elaine the fair, Elaine the love- able and Tomorrow, and tomorrow and to- morrow with rolled r's and proper pathos . . . and how we returned triumphantly in the fall of '41 as curled, seasoned, smoked, and par- boiled sophomores, singing Hey Daddy and Time Was. We've made the Eskimo blue after basketball games for more than one season, and we've lingered around there on warm June nights whistling The Wise Old Owl, Skylark, Brazil, and When They Ask About You. The aggregate amount of time spent there by our class would be enough to build a. battleship, or at least, a destroyer. We've eaten late meals in Billy's, listening to A'Frenesi, t'Chat- tenooga Choo-Choo, Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition, and the sweet whine of 'Blue Rain, while putting away French fries, hamburgers and milk shakes. Some of us put in four years attempting to learn how to get by without doing assignments and how to mask, rather than mend, our aca- demic deficiencies. Someone put this situation rather aptly when he said The freshman's answer is merely 'I don't know'g the sopho- mores, 'I'm not prepared'g the junior's, 'I don't understand the assignment'g and the senior's, 'I don't believe I can add anything to what has already been said.' Gee, but we were misbe- haved the day of the dog races, for instance. Many of our freshman class seemed to think that a dog-sled race was sufficient to warrant the suspension of school. They enjoyed the races, but lost their faces. Experience mak- eth a man no wiser. Mr. Williams can readily testify to that, as each spring the boys must be reminded several times that trodden grass won't grow. It was in the spring of the sopho- more year we had our sleeping tablet mania. Tablets for the asking . . . they put you out of your scholastic misery almost instantly- students dozed longer than usual and teachers worried and wondered. The most exasperating experience of the high school career for Latin students came when you were translating in class, after a hastily prepared assignment. Your predecessor had written in the meaning of an unknown word too faintly to be disting- uished. The final choice usually betrayed you. Ch yes, we remember reading book reports at the last minute for else not reading theml. We won't forget Miss Bovee's saying, Oh, my godfrey! I never in my life saw such people! , nor Jack Cornell as the number one late-comer of Canton high. Remember how Class Poem Across from the court house And up the street a way, We, the class of forty-four, Stood one autumn day, Armed with fun and pranksg 1We were far from bluel We began our march Through the years- To find ourselves in forty-two Among the upper class peers. In forty-three we proved ourselvesg We were Seniors, mighty and strong, We scorned the frosh, looked down on the sophs, And with the juniors-just got along! Forty-four finds us, diploma in handy We're still carefree and gayg But through one week of growing up, We have found ourselves And we say: There's a war to fight- A place to win, By the children of Uncle Samg We'1l furnish the meng We'1l see that it's doneg We are ready and firmly we stand. -Betty Carraher Jack came into study hall just after the bell rang, swearing softly with his hand over his face? fP'robably hoping none would recognize himlj And Ray Woodley's taking Miss Bovee home in his royal Plymouth after play prac- tice? We distinctly remember when the chem class made hydrogen sulphide three days in a row! Unfortunately, the delightful aroma per- meated the entire building, and on the third day, Mr. Meng remarked glumly to his English class, They're making that 'stuff' again. Ho-hum . . , no time for things to get dull. Fifteen new teacers have come since we en- tered. Good thing there are at least a few of the old standbys left. Teachers aren't the only ones who have left-Jim Corey, Buck Reynolds, and Dutchie Mulvaugh have switched bosses-it's now Uncle Sam! Our chief executives have been Muggie Long- shore '40-41, Butch McMasters '41-42, Jim Corey '42-43, and Larry Ames '43-44. Assist- ing them as vice presidents have been Phil McMasters '40-41, '41-42, Marion Barber '42-43, and Helen Maybee '43- 44. Class secretaries -have been Louis Gray, Betty White and Bob Moore. Our three treas- urers have been Helen Maybee, Betty White and Bob Moore. And so, We fold our tents like the Arabs and silently steal away -but maybe not so silently, Class Song We are ready, Strong and true, Armed with memories Of our country, home, and school, And our liberties. We are ready, One and all, We have heard the call. 'Til the war is done, And the peace is won, America, we'll fight for you! -Donald White -1 x..

Honorary officers for the year were elected as follows: President, Larry Ames, vice-president, Don- ald Forsytheg and secretary-treasurer, Wayne Whittemore. Requirements for obtaining a letter in track and baseball were decided upon, and plans were formulated for a softball team to represent the Varsity C Club in the com- munity softball league this summer. The Varsity C Club of 1944 leaves its best wishes for a successful year to next year's or- ganization, and sincerely hopes that the club will start its activities earlier than was done this year, -Wayne Whittemore, Secretary i Football The football team this year, 'because of hard luck early in the season, didn't make a very impressive record. No matter how hard they tried, they were unable to win. This was due, in large measure, to the lack of experienced men, The team was as follows: Center, Bob La- Clairg L guard, Doug Mayhewg R guard, John Haneyg L tackle, John Wells, R tackle, Roger Meadeg ends, Howard Roushey, Bob Hall, and Paul Cornellg quarterback, John Oliver, full- back, Clayton Besawg halfbacks, Larry Ames, Ed Martin, Mark Coloton, Don Forsythe, and Wayne Whittemore also won their letters. Intramural games on Saturdays between the Browns and the Yellows were met by great enthusiasm on the part of the boys who were not yet Varsity material. Basketball This year the Golden Bear basketball team did much better than in the past few years, inasmuch as they managed to get in the play- offs by winning 6 out of 14 games. In the playoffs, they were defeated by Massena, 35 to 19. After a great deal of alteration, Coach John Oliver based his hopes for the season on the following six men: Guards, Wayne Whitte- more and John Haney, forwards, Howard Roushey and Dean Phalong centers, Paul San- timaw and Bob Moore. Forsythe, Burnham, Ames, Hayden and Wells also took part in many of the games. Paul Santimaw took his place as fifth high- est scorer of the league by making 117 points during the season. Howard Roushey was given Honorable Mention for the All-Northern Basketball Team, which, of course, is an imag- inary team made up of the best players of the league. Unlike last year, the Junior Varsity had al- most a full schedule. The first six Bear Cubs were: Center, Ed Heim, guards, Gene Finne- gan and Paul Cornell: forwards, Bob Merrill, John Oliver and Vernon Gray. Stone, Calnon, Duskas, Moore, and La'Clair also participated. Ed Heim, a junior varsity man, played an important part in the last three games as a nl' Cheer Leading Under the supervision of Miss Bovee, the cheerleaders have had a very successful year. Various pep rallies created more enthusiasm among the students and did much to cheer the teams on. Several new cheers were formed and the old ones were improved. Two new cheerleaders, Cathy Crowley and Beverly Mousaw, were chosen at the beginning of the year, Marian Barber served as head cheer- leader, with Lois G-ray as her assistant. Betty Littlejohn and Pat Harrington completed this organization. varsity player. VARSITY C First Row--Finn:-gnu, Hnyden. liurnlmm. Ullver, Moore, Stover. Se-4-oml R,0W'ffPlllllPll. Ames, Murphy.

A Baseball The baseball season for '44, even though most of the men are inexperienced, seems quite promising, as the Algonquin goes to press. Even though there are few of last year's team back, the turn-out of new men gave Coach Cliver new hope. Through a series of inter- class games, the coach will pick the team. The boys trying out for the following positions are: Catcher, Paul Cornell and Harold Mooreg pitcher, Bob Mousaw and Eugene Elliot, first, Paul Santimaw, Bob Murphy, and Doug May- hew, second, 'Gene Finnegan, John Oliver and Maurice 'Cotterg shortstop, Gene Finnegan, Dean Phalon, John Oliver, and Ed Heim, field, Howard Roushey, Jack Norris, Doug Mayhew, and John Oliver. It is difficult to tell at this time just who will play the various positions. 'A' Track The success of this year's track team cannot be readily anticipated this early in the season, but the return of several of last year's men is encouraging. The hopes for a good track team this year are placed upon several of last year's lettermen. These are: Dean Phalon, Ed Mar- tin, Gerry Stover, Bob LaClair, Colin McLean, and John Haney. There is also a good turnout of new material. The C. A. P. C. The Canton Flight of the Civil Air Patrol Cadets is a newly-formed organization, stem- ming from the nationally organized Civil Air Patrol. The first meeting was held March 20, 1944, at the Grammar School Gym, at which 30 members were present. Today there are 24 regular Cadets, Jack Cornell was elected Cadet Flight Sgt.g Edson Martin, Drill Sgt.g Wayne Whittemo-re, Supply Sgt.g and Vernon Gray, Cpl. The purpose of this organization is, of course, to prepare the students of C. H. S. for the Air Corps. As time passes, this or- ganization will grow in size and efficiency-of that, we are sure. it Girls' Basketball This year, as in years past, the girls of C. H. S. have united to form eight intramural teams. Games were held every Tuesday at four o'clock in the gymnasium, and the teams competed for this year's title of champion. More girls participated this season than last. This fact proves that the young ladies of Canton High are really eager to become all- around girls.

Our officers for the year were: President, Billy Smithg vice- president, Larry Ames, secretary, John Oliverg treQ1rer, Howard Rousheyg sergeant-at-arms, Doug Mayhew. Sixteen meetings, including one at the Golf Club and two in the Trianon room, were held, We also sponsored a hay- ride, several houseparties, and a dance, all of which helped our financial status. Gold frat pins were purchased by those who didn't al- ready have them, and a fruitless attempt was made to get hats and T shirts. We ranked high in interfraternal sports, and we were well represented in the school activities. Be- cause several boys have gone into the armed forces and because a large number of our members left with the graduating class last year, we had fewer members than in previous years. Even though there was a decreasing amount of interest in all the fraternities this year, we felt that they could be kept going until after the war, when things again may return to normal. XYZ ? Fraternity Ever since its organization in 1926, the XYZ? fraternity has ranked high in scholas- tic and social standing. This year opened with an initiation, at which the following became members: Ray Woodley, Ted Goulden, Mark Coloton, Ray Mousaw, Jerry Stover, James Corcoran, and John Haney. This brought the membership up to twenty-one. The following were selected to govern the fraternity for the year 1943-1944: President, Denzil Bowman, vice-president, Jack Cornellg secretary, Don Forsythe, treasurer, Ed Mar- ting sergeant-at-arms, .Bob Hall. Mr. Raw- lins acted as advisor. During the course of the year, Clayton Besaw and Leon Howe joined the armed forces. Members of the fraternity helped to compose all the athletic teams. The greatest success of the year was the XYZ? .Sock Dance, held in the gym. To end one of the most success- ful years, the XYZ? fraternity held a second degree and a banquet. Phi Phi Chi ' This year marked the completion of the seventh year since the organization of the fra- ternity, As usual, it ranked high in social, scholastic, and athletic standards. Bob Whalen, our president, left for the armed forces soon after the fall term began, but Vernon Gray capably led the fraternity throughout the remainder of the year. Our activities began with an initiation at which Jim Taylor, Web Robinson, and Neil Armstrong were admitted to the fraternity. The first dance of the year was held by the Pi Pi Chi's and proved to be very successful. Officers for the year were: President, Bob Whalen and Vernon Gray, vice-president, Ed Heimg secretary-treasurer, Bob Merrillg ser- geant-at-arms, Roger Stoney faculty advisor, Mr. Meng. O. A. P.

Many former activities have been dropped and others have been curtailed due to war-time restrictions on travel. Officers who have served during the present school year were: President, William Rocca, vice-president, Roger Huntley, secretary-treasurer, David Burwell. During the past year the local F. F. A. has participated in three judging contests. In spite of inexperience, the local teams made a good showing. Results were as follows: Gouv- erneur Fair, Placing-Dairy Cattle 33 P'oultry 45 Malone, Dairy Cattle 33 Poultry 15 N. Y. S. Agriculture and Technical Contest, Canton 4. Fix-lt Club The Fix-It Club, composed of students from the homemaking classes, has completed another active and profitable year. The officers elected to conduct the organiza- tion for this year, were: President, Eleanor Aldous, vice-president, Bettie Barrg secretary, Helen Cardinal, treasurer, Joyce Thomasg ser- geant-at-arms, Shirley Jones, news reporter, Anna Radway, During the first part of the term, the fol- lowing were asked to join the club and were duly initiated: Joyce Thomas, Shirley Jones, Florence Perry, Anna Radway, Keitha Paro, Carmella Capillario, and Dorothy McDonald. A Christmas party, a faculty tea, a senior party, an underclassmen's party, and a picnic, as well as the regular business meetings, made up a busy and successful year. if Les Babillarcls Les Babillards is a state honorary French society, having as its aim the furth- erance of fluent speech and the knowledge of French culture. Membership in Les Babil- lards this year included nine regular members and two associate members. At the close of school last year the following persons were elected to lead the organization in 1943-44: President, Betty Whiteg vice- president, Helen Maybeeg secretary, Betty Merrillg treasurer, Wayne Whittemoreg social secretaries Don Forsythe and Betty Little- john, faculty advisor, Mrs. Clark. In March, the French Club provided some- thing new for the members of 'Canton High, namely, a dessert sale, held at noon, for the special benefit of rural students. The sale proved a success both financially and socially. Also during the month of March we invited two French students, Helen Kenyon and Jeanne Lumley, to join our ranks as associate mem- bers. The year's activities will close with a ban- quet which will be held about the first of June. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMEIRICA First Row - Grunt, W. Rocco, Huntley. G. Mnclbonuld, Ib. llurwell.

As every member agreed that he did not know enough about the life of Jesus, we chose this topic for our group discussions. Other programs included supper meetings, music, and local or out-of-town guest speakers. The high spots of the year were two successful parties held in Fisher Hall at the University. Everyone enjoyed them and thought they were very worthwhile, The officers for the year were: President, Mary Longshore, secretary, Barbara Huntg treasurer, Richard Michaels. Reverend Hugh Tigner and Dr. Max Kapp were our very competent advisors. Methodist Youth Fellowship Meetings of The Methodist Youth Fellowship are held Sunday evenings at 7 o'clock. The program consists of a worship service, dis- cussion, and business meeting. Our average attendance is about 20. During the first part of the year Rev. Dobbie spoke to us on the Gospel of St. Luke. During the latter part of the year we have discussed topics from The World Outlook on The Coming Peace. Special speakers of the year have been: Rev. Thomas, Why Men Preach g Mr. Hydon, Our Methodist Hymnal g Miss Sanford, The Six Pillars off Peace. Our activities have included, monthly supper meetings, a sleigh ride, exchange visits with neighboring groups, We presented a Christ- mas pageant and an Easter sunrise service and breakfast. The officers are as follows: President, Darcy Thomas, vicerpresident, Norine Forsythe, sec- retary, Beth Lumleyg treasurer, James Todd. Catholic Youth Organization The Catholic Youth Organization has com- pleted its third successful year. In September the following officers were elected: President, Betty Carraherg vice-president, Nora Rileyg secretary, Elizabeth Desmondg treasurer, Bev- erly Mousawg historian, Tom Calnon. Eleven new members were received into the club with a very impressive initiation ceremony held in November. Weekly meetings were held in the Knights of Columbus hall. Among its many activities, the C. Y. O. has sponsored six successful dances. The members have also par- ticipated in Communion breakfasts, choir work, and other religious projects. A ball, which will be held at Ship A-hoy on class night, will complete the club's activities for this year. INTERDENOMINATIOWNAL YOUNG PEOPLE First Row -Mxirgzlu-t Longsliure, Wade. Hunt, Mic-lmels.

S. art classes have had the opportunity to join the Art Club this year. Mrs. Hart has aided the students in sketching portraits of different children of our community. During the winter months, it was usually too cold to hold our meetings in the art rooms. As soon as the weather permits, however, we intend to have outdoor classes in landscape or nature drawing. if The Wash The staff of The Wash for this year was as follows: editor, Betty Carraherg assistant editor, Alex Coreyg literary editors, Betty Littlejohn, Barbara Hunt, Richard Power, Elaine Rodeeg feature editors, Pat Harrington, Dorajean Kenyon, Shirley Grandawg exchange editor, Cathy Crowley, art editors, Janet Manley, Jim Toddg business manager, Dick Michaelsg sports editor, Bob Farmer, mimeo- graph operators, John Reynolds, Miles Plumb, Tom Calnong typists, Helen Leonard, Emma Mastrocola, Jean Wadeg book reviews, Don Whiteg music reporter, Don Stearnsg reporters, Jane Maroney, Elizabeth Desmondg faculty advisor, Miss Bovee. 'During the year of 1943-44, our school paper, The Wash, has had excellent cooperation from the student body. The staff strove to have a bigger, better and more interesting Wash than ever beforeg and to this end, they were successful. Articles, stories, reports, features, and the ever-popular Wash Tub gave the students of C. H. S. educational and entertaining reading material. We wish to thank Miss Bovee for her unceasing help as advisor, and we wish next year's Wash the very best of luck. Victory Corps The Canton High School Victory Corps, or- ganized in the spring of 1943 under the lead- ership of Captain Ed Martin and First Lieu- tenants Helen Maybee and Bob Whalen, got under way early in the fall to hasten victory. When Bob Whalen joined the Navy soon after the opening of school, Don Estabrook capably took over his position. A dance was held in the fall, at which a movie and the Canton High School Swing Band were the highlights. At all the home basket- ball games war stamp corsages were sold with success. The Victory Corps also sold war stamps at the plays and musical productions presented this year. When volunteers to aid in the March of Dimes at the theatre were sought, many Victory Corps girls responded. Several of our boys have helped collect waste paper, and miniature war posters were sold in the lower hall, Perhaps the most important contribution made to the war effort by the members of the Victory Corps was the house- to-house canvass to secure war bond pledges during the Fourth War Loan Drive. Membership is open at all times to those who fulfill the qualifications and are accepted by our advisors, Miss Irion and Mr. Meng. There are now seventy students in the or- ganization.

Y s, un e arg Lf McDonald D McDonald x - - Beta Beta Gamma At the beginning of the year 1941, a group of enthusiastic freshman girls set out to es- tablish a place for themselves in C. H. S. These girls became known as the Beta Beta Gamma's. Since then they have had an interesting sched- ule of picnics, hikes, food sales, and dances. The highlights of their activities have been two enjoyable and successful camping trips. It has been the aim of the B. B. G.'s to estab- lish a lasting sorority which will promote an advanced social relationship between its mem- bers and the school. At the time of the pub- lication of this Algonquin sorority pins are being purchased, The members include: Bar- bara Norton, Kay Pearl, Shirley Grandaw, Toula Duskas, Dorajean Kenyon, Helen Ken- yon, Betty Littlejohn, Pat Harrington, and Shirley Paige. The AITIHZOHS This year the Amazons rallied to the call and enjoyed a season of numerous activities. The officers elected were: President, Helen May- bee, vice-president, Betty White, secretary, Betty Carraherg treasurer, Betty Merrill. The following junior and senior girls were accepted for membership: Jane Maroney, Margaret Bates, Marie Rodee, Nora Riley, Norrine For- sythe, Helen Leonard, Betty Littlejohn, Mary Jo Whalen, Shirley Thompson, Toula Duskas, Kay Pearl, Winnie Connor, and Barbara Nor- ton, Our competent faculty advisor was Mrs. Bovee. Dances, a houseparty, a novel before-break- fast hike, other similar excursions, and basket- ball games were held and participated in by all. Unlike other years, business and social meet- ings were held at the homes of various mem- bers. At present a barn dance is being plan- ned, and the year's activities will be terminated by our annual- banquet. G. G.'s One rainy day in the fall of '40 eight girls -Marian Burpy Barber, Betty Courte Merrill, Margaret Muggie Longshore, Mary Goldie Longshore, Jean Jeaner Wade, Lois Lokey Gray, Janet Jan Manley, and Helen Riccy Maybee, were slushing along in the gutter out Park Street way. They were try- ing to think of a name to call themselves col- lectively, when someone jestingly suggested The Gutter Gang. The name took hold and that's how the G, G.'s of C. H. S. orig- mated. These past four years the girls have gone on many hikes, both foot and bicycle, Slab City often being their destination. Holidays have always been occasions of celebration among the G. G.'s, and several Christmas, Easter, and birthday parties have been held with plenty of good food and music. Overnight parties at different members' houses have also been a source of much fun and frolic. In the summer of '42 they spent a week camping at Higley's and came back to Canton brown and healthy. This year they had a get-together at which Eleanor Nonnie Williams, an honorary G. G, since 1942, from Forest Hills, was pres- ent. BETA BETA GAMMA First Row-Pearl.

However, as a result of the dramatic activity this year, before the close of school in June, this number will be augmented. The Society is national in scope, and membership in it rep- resents a distinct honor for the high school actor or actress. When you see the two headed mask displayed on the sweater of a high school boy or girl, you may know he has at- tained the highest possible honor in the field of drama. 'A' Radio Workshop One of the least-heralded organizations of C. H. S. is the radio group. Perhaps this is so because they are a loosely-knit group, without officers, meeting only at rehearsal time and drawn together by a single interest only- the mike. Members at the beginning of the school year had the opportunity to sign up for radio workg from this list of students. casts were chosen for the series of 15-minute programs presented over VWSLB, Ogdensburg, each alternate Saturday noon, Members of this group also handle the loud-speaking sys- tem at school, assuming responsibility for the daily announcements and advertisements. The following persons participated in radio work this year:.Betty Littlejohn, Dorajean Kenyon, Betty White, Alice Santimaw, Arlene Dishaw, Ed Martin, Grace Peters, Marjory McCarthy, John Reynolds, Robert Farmer, Dick Michaels, Donald White, Lois Gray, John Oliver, Betty Carraher, Bettie Barr, Mary Longshore, Jean Wade, Betty Nash Rub Dand Mar Jo Y Y, Y Whalen, Alex Corey, Pat Desmond, and Eliza- beth Desmond. The Masq uers Under the competent leadership of Miss Bovee, the Masquers are completing another active and successful year. At the beginning of the school term, Betty Carraher was elected president, Ed Martin, vice-president, Betty White, secretary, and Beverly Mousaw, treasurer. In December the three one-act plays, Every- thing Nice, the first prize-winner, For the Love of Allah, and Red Flannels, were suc- cessfully presented, despite the illness of sev- eral cast members which necessitated last- minute changes in both cast and date of pre- sentation. The annual spring, three-act play, A Letter to the General, was equally well received. It was repeated at Morley for the benefit of the Red Cross. Social events of the year were high-lighted by a New Year's party and a unique initiation ceremony in February. Following the initia- tion, members, initiates and guests attended the college play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, and a banquet at the Hotel Harring- ton. As the Algonquin goes to press, we are planning our spring initiation and the closing activities of the year. - NATIONAL THESPIANS First Row -Oliver. Kenyon. Inngslmre. XVhitl-1, Littlejohn, Woodley.

In December we were scheduled to play a Christmas overture at the Christmas Concert, which had to be cancelled. The orchestra played three numbers at the Annual ,Spring Concert on March 21. Don White, president of the Orchestra, announced the selections as follows: Finlandia, a tone poem, Elves Dance, from Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikowskyg Sleeping Beauty, Senior Senior Chorus, under the expert direction of Mr. Hydon, has been very active this past year. We had a total of sixty-four members, who chose the following oficers to lead them during the year: President, Don Stearns: vice- president, Betty White, secretary, Don For- sythe: treasurer, Darcy Thomas. In December the chorus presented a Christ- mas cantata entitled The Wondrous Story over WSIJB. Soloists were Betty White and Betty Littlejohn, During the year we learned and sang the following numbers: Largo, Roses of Pic- ardy, Kentucky Babe, In the Garden of Tomorrow, and I Love a Little Cottage. waltz by Tschaikowsky. The orchestra is also scheduled to play at the Grammar School and High School graduation programs. A chosen group of orchestra members will play for the Dutch operetta, Tulip Time, to be presented by the senior chorus. Through graduation we are losing several of our orchestra members, as follows: Marilyn Tracy, Mary Longshore, Lois Newman, Earl Dunkelberg, and Don White. Chorus As the Algonquin goes to press, the Senior 'Chorus is scheduled to present a Dutch oper- etta, Tulip Time, in the first part of May. Leads for the operetta include Betty White, Betty Littlejohn, Norrine Forsythe, Don Stearns, Don Forsythe, Jim Todd, Earl Dunkel- berg, and Leonard Forsythe. Members of the chorus make up the groups of Dutch girls and boys, Dutch dancers, flower girls, and Ameri- can college students. For the success of the operetta and the other programs which the Chorus has presented this year, a great deal of credit must go to our musical director, Mr. Hydon, who has given his all to the musical organizations of C. H. S. this year. ORCHEISTRA First Row--Hlll. Wells, White. Stokes, Pasel. Shipman, Goodule. Hobbs, Duskns, Oliver. Second Row-'l'ru4-y. Ne-wnnnn. Norton.

Officers were: President, Helen Maybeeg secretary and treasurer, Bob Farmer. The Senior Band was prepared to play at the Christmas program which was cancelled be- cause of the flu epidemic, We also played and marched at several football and basketball games. Janet Manley was our drum major- ette. At the Spring Concert on March 21st, the Senior Band presented the following program: El Capitan by Sousag Air from Rigoletto by Verdig Shelby by Noelg Pilgrim Chorus from 'I'annhauser by Wagnerg and the Alma Mater. This program was also given on a radio broadcast shortly before the concert. Several Senior Band members have received music letters for excellence in music during the year. At the Spring Concert a collection was taken to buy these music emblems and about thirty dollars was received. ir Lucio This secret order was founded in the fall by five charter members and has recently in- creased to its present membership. Although this organization is not connected with the school in any way, its members are easily recognized in our corridors by the familiar scarlet and blue jackets which distinguish the order. It has held over a dozen private house- parties for members during our school term and has cooperated fully with the other or- ganizations of this nature. Royal Order of Stags The Royal Order of Stags, Canton High's newest fraternal organization, was formed January first to fill the need for an informal association for boys. We got off to a good start by holding a successful dance in the Trianon Room. We had a fixed membership of eleven, for the most part seniors. We fin- ished the year with an informal party. We hope the Stags in the future will uphold the high standards we attempted to set. BAND First Row---Davis, Burt. Ilill. Ilnskns. Farmer. Maiyhee, Helnpstreet.
