Canton High Campus Cuffnotes By LINDA BRIGGS The week of frenzied campaign ing is over and congratulations ar< in order now. Last Wednesday Student Council elections came tc a close for 1955 and the following people were elected: Vice-President?Charles sGreene Secretary?Joyce Smathers. Treasurer?Marianna Moon. These officers, along with Dale Childers, incoming president who was elected last year, will begin their terms next September for 1955-1956. The campaign speeches, which were given Tuesday, we're some of the best ever heard at Canton High and were accom panied by showers of candy and gum from campaign managers, and original stunts written by various C.H.S. students. On Wednesday afternoon the stu dent body was privileged to hear Dr. Olin Brinkley who led the services at the YMCA during Re ligious Emphasis Week. A large number of students attended the evening services and thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. Friday was a big day for Can ton High students, especially those in the Beta Club. The chapel pro gram, "Lovers Through the Ages," which the club has been working on for so long, was given Friday morning. This idea was planned and carried out by Mildred Ducketl with some assistance from Linda Briges and Melissa Osborne, and it turned out better than the club expected. The program was almost entirely musical and depicted vari ous lovers in history with appro priate sqpffs for all. A great many college students who were home for soring holidays were in the audience and it sure was good to have them back. Friday found the newly organ ized Key Club on their way to Marion to attend a District Key Club banquet. The boys seem to have been impressed by the activ ities of the various Key Clubs rep resented there, and hope to get started in a big way jn the very near future. Eight Canton High boys attend ed special lectures Friday at David Millard Junior High in Asheville. These lectures were on various TV pes of ehglnierTng and were giv en by a representative from N. C. State College. Friday night Canton's first "Twirp Twirl" was held and those attending really had a big time? especially the boys. Most of the girls paid all expenses of the even ing and although they complained, most of them really enjoyed it. A fairly large crowd attended the ? I party and did everything from ? dancing to jumping ropes. Whether r or not it was successful enough ?' to have another next year, we 1 don't know. We'll leave that to the Junior Class to decide. The Dramatics Class is hard at work on another play and this one i sounds like the biggest production i they've ever attempted. "The Crown of Thorns," a religious drama in three acts, will be given for Easter on April 8 in the C.H.S. auditorium. The cast is as follows: Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor?Earl Hardin. Claudius Procula, his wife?Mar tha Poindexter. Gavis, their young son?Charles Hall. Morah, a Jewish maid ? Pat Smathers. Cornelius, a court advisor?M^-1 vin Reed. Classius, a Roman soldier?Wiley Carpenter. Stephen, a disciple , of Jesus? Charles Green. Everyone is looking forward to our holiday tomorrow which we are being given because of the teach ers meeting in Asheville. The Fu ture Teachers Club State Conven tion is being held at this time and several Canton High students are planning to attend. Perhaps they will give us a full report next week.
