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
