Lest we forget, the Dramatic Club presented a play, Best Foot Forward. This play was a smash hit. After the award of another summer vacation presumably be- cause of our strenuous academic pursuits, we arrived back again at C. A. As Juniors, we now felt even more that we knew all the answers, thinking that we were going to teach the world a few tricks before very long. This delusion quickly erased, we were soon taking our first set of exams. At their conclusion, we attended our annual Christmas Dinner Dance, and once more we were thrilled with the proceedings. After much belabored but enjoyable practice, the Dramatic Club enacted Wherever She May Roam. This play was labeled as one of the best plays ever produced at C. A. The Junior year seemed to pass very quickly because we were carefully deciding upon a vocation for life. College Boards also occupied much of our time. Finally, after withstanding the onslaught of studie-s, we brought the year to a climax with the annual Prom. At last, as we started the trek of our Hnal year at C. A. our goal seemed to be nearing. The studies became unbearable, partly because of our anxiety to graduate, and partly because most of us had been accepted by one college or another. Although our atten- tion was divided, the Drama Club surpassed themselves by staging two plays- Professor! How Could You? and Twelve Angry Men. The annual Christmas Dinner Dance was fabulous, as was our cherished Senior Prom. Finally our goal was attained. We were awarded our sheepskins on June third, and we set onward to pursue our vocations. Before we leave we wish to express our deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Aiello for the line job that they have done in developing our characters. We also wish to thank our instructors. As we set out on the brink of life, we shall always bear in mind those principles that were instilled at Cambridge Academy.

In Retrospect- A Backward Glance Cambridge Academy? What is it? A preparatory school for college. College? Will we ever get there? Will we weather the storm of the rigorous course of studies that is mapped out for us at Cambridge Academy? These and other bewildering thoughts were swirling in our heads as we began our Freshman year at C. A. When.. October and November rushed by, we began to realize that we were- not on a picnic and that we had better buckle down , if we were to suc- ceed. At last Christmas arrived. With it came our first social func- tion at C. A.-the Christmas Dance. This musical masterpiece was held at the Cambridge Boathouse and was labeled a great success. After our first taste of exams at C. A., we began to feel more confident about our chances of survival. Winter, by now, released us from the enclosure of its grey tongs and Spring, with all its splendor, beckoned us once again. The academic year passed quick- ly and after a final set of exams we pre-pared for that highlight of the social year-the Senior Prom. This was our first prom, and all who attended will long remember that night at Longwood Towers. We acquired a little more maturity during our long summer vacation, and we came back hopefully to C. A. as Sophomores-or wise fools. The Sophomore year naturally found us more at ease, and possessing more assurance that we would be a success in this walk of academic life that we had chosen. Although the studies Were rugged, nevertheless we had an outstanding year socially and academically. October 31 found us attending a Halloween Party at C. A. The usual bobbing for apples took place, along with all the extras of a Halloween party. The Christmas Dance again took place at-the Cambridge Boathouse. As usual, everyone appeared in an exuber- ant spirit for the Prom at Longwood Towers.
