Let's take a close look and see just what each type is: the first type, and the type which helped to lay our foundation for the years to come was .......... THE FACULTY. Without our second type we would have no need for this annual, next come .......... THE CLASSES. Next in line is that type which seemed to form the aftermath of classes ............ ACTIVITIES. Last, but by no means least, we find the fourth type which interests any loyal Viking ........... SPORTS. FOREWORD It is with great pride that we of the 1955-56 Viking staff present our edition of the Viking,'. This year, we are using a three-color scheme composed of the Viking orange and black, as well as the white of the Senior Class colors, crimson red and white. We have divided the book into four sections including faculty, classes, activities, and sports. We hope that our theme of passing time will help you to recall many pleasant memories of the years spent in No-Ca-Hi. We hope, also, that many of you will enjoy attending Hoover High School and will obtain from it as many pleasant memories. DEDICATION Mr. Marion Krabill With heartfelt appreciation, we of the class of 1956 dedicate our edition of the Viking to our friend and advisor, Mr. Marion Krabill. We shall ever remember, Mr. Krabill, your patient under- standing and excellent advice, and we shall carry your name with us always in our most pleasant memories of No-Ca-Hi. 6 ALMA MATER Our strong hand can ne'er he hroken, Formed in N. C. High, Far surpassing wealth unspoken, Sealed in friendship's tie. High school life at hest is passing, Gliding swiftly hy, Then let ns pled ge in word and deed Our love for N. C. High. Alina Mater, Alina Mater, Deep graven on each heart, Shall he fonnd nnwazfring true When we froin life shall part. 7 XXL ,- Q-XL 5 CX 5' I NP! 2 wMQ.gi,?1 l , KAL' Mug, ffxgcf kr 4-,X l -1 1 f 45 lm BOARD OF EDUCATION w l ROBERT BRAUCHER ROBERT KREIGHBAUM RICHARD DAVIS I 1 HAROLD SICKAFOOSE RICHARD WEARSTLER We of the Viking staff would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Board of Education for a job excellently accomplished.

All of the students are grateful to the cus- todians for keeping our school clean and in good order. Their help with many extra-curricular activities is also appreciated. Mrs. Holl, Mrs. Burden, Mrs. Kamp, Mrs. Williams. We wish to thank these gracious la- dies for their good, hot meals. Their warm smiles and willingness to serve are certainly appreciated by all No-Ca-Hi- ans. First Row: Mrs. Zeiger, Mrs. Mortimer, Mrs. Rudersmith. Second Row: Earl Myers, Bob Little, Mr. Mortimer, Bill Tompson. The bus drivers certainly deserve a vote of thanks. They are responsible for getting the students to school and home safely and on time. They also transport students to and from music and athletic events.

The hands of the clock persistently, unfalteringly move minutes into hours, months, and years. The class of '56 is but a part of No-Ca-Hi history - history full of the memories of joy and sorrow we can never relive, only partially recapture with the friends who lived each mo- ment with us. As we pause upon this threshold and the mist rolls back, we see that during this so oft trying period of learning our proverbial Three R's , we were also living through a similiar period of Three R's. The first period of these Three R's came when, as freshmen and sophomores, we went through a period of un-Rationality. Too overcome with the joy of at last being in high school, there were many times when we proved how fitting was the term green freshmen which the upperclassmen so constantly applied to us. As for the educational cur- riculum, our intentions were good, but the most interesting things seemed to be those not in- cluded in the curriculum, and - somehow, in the rush - our books took a back seat to the other more important - more interesting things. The highlight of our freshman year - as with every freshman class - was the traditional Freshman-Sophomore party. Without warning, we suddenly found ourselves in the second of the Three R periods - Romanticism. Perhaps it was toward the end of our sophomore year - at the time when we caught ourselves listening eagerly to each word the enviable upperclassmen had to say about their coming Prom - or when it suddenly seemed that the majority of sophomores were going steady - that this second R hit us fully. Suddenly WE are upperclassmeng boys from our class are the athletes we cheer from the standsg we are in the thick of the Mikado-the junior class play - scholarship tests - the junior-Senior Prom. Yes, the period of Romanticism hits its peak at Prom time and slowly fades away when, as seniors, we see nothing is really different . We don't feel any older - look any older - act any older. Reality - the third R - has dawned. It is now, as a senior, we realize we have very little over the underclassmen, they, in fact, have one distinct advantage over us - time! Time for us has suddenly run out it seems. It is the end of zz world - not the world. The world of high school ends with a climatic graduation and noble plans for the future, but the world of tomorrow moves undauntedly on. We're not leaving those joys - still so vividly etched in our memory - we're tak- ing them with us through life as happy memories. 20 PRESIDENT Lance Swat VICE-PRESIDENT Phil Kan SECRETARY Marilyn Hagenloch TREASURER s .

On the eve- ning of May 14th, 1955, at Shady Hollow Coun- try Club, festive juniors and seniors danced in a haze of happiness - or rather we should say mirage of happiness to be inlkeeping with Blue Mirage which was the theme selected. After the banquet which began at 6:00 p.m. couples danced to the music of Eddie Jueneman from 9:00 to 12:00. The highlight of the eve- ning was the crowning of 1955's Prom Queen, lovely june Harpold, and her equally lovely ju- nior attendant, Kay Tschantz. This event was truly a night to remember.

Graduation night, which should be the high-point of any senior's year, found Bob Gardner cast into the depths of despair because his mother told him there would not be enough money for him to go to college. Not knowing what to do, Bob takes what he considers the easiest way out and becomes engaged to Agnes Wagner. Bob's friends try to persuade him to go on to college, but when Agnes impulsively spends Bob's money to buy an engagement ring, it looks as though their's is a lost cause. It isn't until Labor Day, when Bob's friends come to say good-bye, that he finally faces his problems. He decisively breaks his engagement with Agnes and swallows his pride to declare that working is a small price to pay to be able to go to college. CAST Bob Gardner, a june Graduate .

UNIOR PRESIDENT Stuart Smith VICE-PRESIDENT Judy Burns SECRETARY Mary Lou Nelius TREASURER Kathy Wise HISTORIAN joan Dornecker The third year of our class has made us sea- soned pilots as veterans in sports, music, and speech. Even our academic subjects, such as Eng- lish, American History, chemistry, and health held less fear for us. Our studies did not loom as such large mountains in our flight toward grad- uation. Many of our classmates have partici- pated in dramatics, scholarships, and salesman- ship. The big event of our class was planning the junior-Senior Prom. The junior Class Play, entitled, The People vs Maxine Lowe , was presented in November and was a big success. We would like to thank our class advisors for steering us out of danger when we were in dif- ficulty and needed their help. After flying over a long, hot desert for three years, we hope to land safely next year on the field of graduation. lfirxl Ron-: Barbara Pratt, Wayne Willison, Ronnie Sav- age, Dick Swonger, Barbara Wood.

THE PEOPLE vs MAXINE LOWE For the first time since 19-10, a murder mystery was presented by North Canton stu dents. The theme of the play was the trial in which Maxine Lowe was tried for the mur der of her husband. All evidence seemed to prove her guilty until a surprise witness ap peared. The murderer was found among the witnesses and Maxine was acquitted. The cast is to be commended on its fine performance. Objection sustained Well, I didn't come here to lie .

Dur- ing intermission, the cast attended the Fresh- man-Sophomore Party, other dances and club activities. Individual members took part in ath- letics, cheerleading, the Freshman Mixed Choir, band, and orchestra. We thank our directors for coaching us and for helping us to do our best in these parts. If the cast continues to practice to the best of their ability, they should receive a good re- view from the critics in 1959. l'irxl Razr: Hill Garvin, Nancy Hagenlocher, Sandra Dieknmnn, Pat Ditch, Bob Green. .Srraml Razr: Calvin Gopp, Gail Dolan, Stephen Downes, Carla Gilmore, Dorothy Deem.

CLASS HISTORY ln our eight years journey on the path of education, the eighth grade will un- doubtedly stand out. This year we will graduate from junior high school to high school. We feel more grown up and self assured. Along with our usual readin', writin', and arithmetic , we have begun to take in- terest in many other activities. In the field of sports, many of our boys have gone out for Jr. High football and Jr. High basketball and they have done a very good job. This not only prepares for the high school teams but also teaches good sportsmanship. In the field of music, we have over ten students in the marching and concert band, several in the orches- tra, and, in our Jr. High Band, we have all the students who play instruments. Most of the students belong to the Jr. Hi-Y or Jr. Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. They sponsor many interesting ac- tivities, dances, making favors, and camping trips. The class as a whole led the sales during the magazine drive. Throughout this year, and our high school years, we will always be working toward one goal - graduation. lrrvl Row: Eugene Mercier, Sandra Staats, Jean Kegel, Firxl Row: Richard Wise, George Starks, David Wright I'om Knowles, Susan Shahan.

CLASS HI TORY TWA FLIGHT Come along with us and take a flight up in the T.W.A. Yes, we're flying up. We've flown from sixth grade to seventh grade and we are beginning to be treated like adults and appreciate it very much. Our history begins in kindergarten. It was much like kindergarten of today. First grade through sixth grade were pretty much the same except that the work grew harder, of course. We were taken to the North Canton Public Library every two weeks by our home room teacher. We had a school picnic once a year, and we took many other trips to different places, also. ln grade school we had one teacher who taught us all our sub- jects, but when we entered sixth grade it was a big change. We had a schedule almost like seventh grade, because we had a different teacher for each subject. In grade school all the pupils got along very well together, and we hope we do all through our years at high school. This year we have about fifteen new pupils. We like it very well at the high school, and we have more activities and responsibilities. XVe will all keep flying up and up. and we will end our flight in l96l when we are seniors. --VAL BEGERT SEVE TH GRADE PRESIDENT Vil Begert VICE-PRESIDENT Rennie Mrzner Secretary Mike Begert Tm2AsURER Terry Green HISTORIAN Bob Decker Left to Rigbiz Mike Begert.

VIKI G V IEWS Pat Simrell Bonnie Flagg Carolyn Earles Don Strausser Linda Edwards Miss Bahler Something new was tried by the journalism class this year. The Viking Views went to press each week as part of The Sun , our local newspaper. This was made possible through the courtesy of its editor, Mr. Sell. In this manner, the students gained more jour nalistic experience, and the paper was enjoyed more often by more people. With the 'able assistance of Miss Bahler, the students completed a very successful year. The Brain Trust 57 ATIO AL HO OR SOCIETY The National Honor Society was organized on a national scale in 1921 to stimulate interest in better scholarship. The North Canton chapter joined the Society in May of l959. The National Honor Society has for its goals good scholarship, service to school and community: development of strength of character, and encouragement of the student to con- tinue his learning and education. Members are drawn from the Junior and Senior classes, and probationary members are selected from the Sophomore class. The highlight of the year was the impressive induction service for the new mem- bers in the spring.

SCHOLARSHIP North Canton High School scholars again placed exceptionally well in state per- centile ratings for 1933. In April, preliminary tests are given in practically all classical course studies plus bookkeeping. The two highest ranking students in each subject then compete in the district exams at Akron University in May. Scores from these tests are compared and state percen- tile ratings are compiled. Competition is always keen, so the students that represented N. C. should be con- gratulated. STUDE T COUNCIL The Student Council is one of the outstanding organizations in North Canton High. This year they sponsored a Christmas program, the election of a Homecoming Queen, a Veteran's Day program, and a talent show in the spring, and they have sct up the assemblies for next year.

Serving as faculty advisor to the group was Mrs. Aldridge. HOME EC. This year the Sophomore and junior-Senior clubs merged to form one large club.

Other girls participating during the year were Linda Edwards, Gretchen Lehman, and Nancy Haren. Mr. Hurst VIKETTES This year's ensemble consisted of both junior and senior girls. Besides participating in the Sunday Twilight Concert in the fall and other high school programs, they also sang at innumerable social functions. One of the additions to North Canton's faculty last September was Mr. Clifford Hurst, director of vocal music. After graduation from Ashland High School,Mr. Hurst attended Cincinnati Univer- versity for two years and then finished his schooling at Ashland College, from which he re- ceived his Bachelor of Music degree. Next he completed a two-year tour of duty with the army, during which he con- ducted the chapel choir at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and after that North Canton. In charge of several music groupsg the Freshman Mixed Chorus, the Sophomore Mixed Chorus, the Girls' Glee Club, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade music classes, Mr. Hurst has presented several music programs. They include: an Educational Week Concert, in- cluding the Glee Club and orchestra, a Christmas Concert including the Mixed Chorus and Glee Club, a Christmas Concert for the PTA, and a Palm Sunday Concert, including the Mixed Chorus and Glee Club. A newcomer to North Canton's instrumental music department this year - but cer- tainly not a newcomer to the music field itself, is Mr. john Adams. After graduating from Cornwall, Pa. high school, Mr. Adams attended the Lebenon Valley College Conservatory of Music in Harrisburg, Pa. After two years of study there, his education was interrupted when he joined the service. After spending two and one-half years with the army, he returned to the Lebenon Valley College Conservatory of Music where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in music education. During the next few years he did post-graduate work at Temple University in Phil- adelphia, Pa., and then taught for two years at the Philadelphia Public Schools. In 1949, he received his Master's degree at Kent. and taught for four years at Hudson, Ohio, and now, of course, he's a North Cantonian. During the time he spent in the service he completed a European tour, later played with several name bands, and now is a member of the Akron-Canton Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Adams g 1 'P Lf' , ,.

Under the direction of Mr. John Adams, the band performed many enjoyable precision drills and skits, as well as many rousing marches to spur the Vikings on to victory. Adding to the enjoyment of half-time shows were the maj- orettes, who presented flashy twirling routines and dances. The Concert Band, composed of members from grades seven through twelve, pro- vided North Canton audiences with music on the concert level. Mr. john Adams, director, led the band through many enjoyable selections, such as Czech Rhapsody , On the Mall , Goofin , and many others. This Page Sponsored by The Mathie Coal and Supply Co.

SANITARY PLUMBING - HOT XWATER AND STEAM HEATING Rear - 500 Portage Street North Canton, Ohio f5 DEBATE Debate continues to be one of the most beneficial extra-curricular activities at North Canton High School. Not only does a debater profit from the knowledge he acquires, and the speaking experience, but also many lasting friendships are formed through debate as- sociations. Debate is an ideal activity for any student who likes to travel. N. C. debaters attend tournaments all over the state of Ohio, and for the last two years have received an invitation to the Tri-State-Tournament in Jamestown, New York, held in April. Last year's varsity team defeated the New York State Champions to place third in the tournament. Also for the past nine years North Canton debaters have qualified for the Ohio State Tournament. The question for debate in high schools all over the United States this year was: Resolved - That governmental subsidies be granted to colleges and universities, according to high school who qualify for additional training. Varsity debaters for the years 1955-56 were Bonnie Stewart, Earl Newell, Susan Arn- old, and Tom Peters.

Eleven senior men saw most of the ac- tion. They were ably aided by several junior boys, and a large, promising Sophomore squad. The team brought the Bell home from Middlebranch and also scored impressive victories at the Homecoming Game and on Dad's Night. The powerful reserve team was undefeated and unscored upon in its five-game schedule.

Coach Skuban, once again was the head man on the gridiron while Coach Martin led the Basketball and Track teams to suc- cessful seasons. Coach Hertler acted for his third year as head baseball mentor. Much should, also, be said about Coach Esmont's work with the Freshman and jr. High reams. With this well-rounded staff and all the coaches doubling up and helping with more than one team, sports have become a main interest at No Ca Hi.

Fame came to No-Ca-Hi as the 1955-56 basketball team, under the coaching of Don Martin, turned in the best record for the past eleven years. The team's one-game scoring record was broken as the Vikings compiled 99 points against the Greensburg Bulldogs. The individual scoring record for one game was also broken when Dave Bevo Boyd totaled 39 against Middlebranch. The team was very well rounded with plenty of height, co-ordination, and scoring ability. The most glorious victory being over Canton Lehman, showed area schools that North Canton is coming back into prominence as a local basketball power. Their success was not due to any one individual but rather a perfect combination of all twelve players, the student body, and the coach.

Soon after the Christmas vacation, the North Canton wrestling team started on its series of practice matches with other schools. These matches were for the purpose of gain- ing experience primarily. The team found itself really working in earnest to obtain some kind of a scoring record. For the most part, our opponents were schools of considerable experience, but some of them were new in the field with one year's experience. A list of the schools which we met is as follows: Massillon, Cuyahoga Falls, Wooster, Rootstown, Barberton, and Central Catholic. As we expected, our record reflected our inexperience, but several individual mem- bers of the team made an impressive record. The team finished the season with an Invitational Tournament at Hiram, in which Williams and Bogardus received place medals, the Regional Meet at Kent State University at which Williams placedg and, the State Tournament at Lakewood in which Williams partici- pared. Taken into consideration our intentions at the start of our efforts, and this position at which we finished - the team can be commended for its efforts.

But of all of them, rhere's one that's more jealously guarded than all the rest. And y0u're the only one who knows what that secret is! One of your rights as an American is the right to a secret ballot. And you alone know how you mark your ballot. No one sees it, no one can influence you. lt's your secret. In the Red-dominated countries, your vote-if you get one -is about as secret as a brass band playing in a greenhouse. You usually have only one candidate to vote for. A group of sharp-eyed officials checks your ballot to see that you voted the right way. Some people, even in this country, think that that's the way elections should be run. Most Americans don't agree and it's up to every one of us to see that our ballots remain secret. If we let the secret ballot get away from us, we can say goodbye to all our American rights-freedom of speech, free- dom of religion, freedom of press and all the others. How can we preserve these freedoms? By speaking out strongly when we see them endangered. By using our secret ballot every election day to keep America free. Remember, they're your rights, so treat them right. The right to work shall not he abridged nor made impotent DO YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS? As Americans, we have the greatest freedom and the highest standard of living in the world. Help keep it by knowing your rights and guarding them that way well. Some of them are: Freedom of worship Right to secret ballot fl'RighI ta lznow hou' your union spends your dues Freedom ol speerh Freedom ol the press Right to critirize oljirials Right ta know salaries of your union ogirers Freedom from searrh without uurmnt Right to petition government lor redress ol grierrmrer 'lfRight to know il your union oflirers are Communists 'Right to Right to Right lo know hou' your union is run speedy and publie trial by jury help of a lawyer 'ltRight to hear your employer's side ol disagreernenls t I. .

Phone GL 5-5309 122 THE LAST WORD Say goodbye in a few short words, she said - now, isn't that just like a teacher? Always giving the most impossible assignments! Does seem appro- priate though that a senior should have the last word, doesn't it? But let's be practical, how can you bid adieu ffond or otherwise! to four years of friend- ship and work in just a few short words? Friendship and work - in some ways they're outstandingly related to one another. After all, how could any of us have done our homework these past four years if it hadn't been for the friendship of the fellow senior across the aisle or in back of you in study hall? And those times you burned the midnight oil spiking your Latin book - well, come to think of it, that wasn't friendship as much as it was work, after all, the only reason you had to resort to such measures was because your friend borrowed your pony - and, as per usual, that was the last you saw of it. No use kidding about it though, this IS goodbye - goodbye to what we're told we will look back upon as possibly the happiest era of our life. And even though we've had four years to get accustomed to the finality which graduation signifies - the realization of what it will actually be like is hard to imagine. Nevertheless, there's one thing that each person won't discard with his cap and gown, won't frame with his diploma - the memories of high school. Those can't be taken away. Sound silly? Perhaps, but when you're a senior, you'll understand. . . . Goodbye. 124 V Svlwicehe oun , compms ssnvlcs wlu. sow: lgywi YOUR YEARBOOK PR susm . 61 at o s Fw-mlm fwfmeb 5lecI?wTIMaQA, WMM 'l'llE CANTON ENGRAVING 81 ELECTROTYPE COMPANY 410 3RD.
