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.
