BAohi-i'i I_.rt.ijJj Coach King Cole's Trojans brought the school's most successful basketball season tu_a close, having lost only six games and W'nniry; rteen, including the bounty and di strict tournaments meld at Arapaaoe. Holbrook and ttoidrege eacl. deleated the Trojans by a one-point margin. Beaver City won by two points, and McCook won one game by four points and another by a decisive margin. Cambridge scored 486 points to opponents oSS pQt rrts . not including the scores run up during the J lstr ct tournament in which Cambridge out- scored their opponents by a wide margin with Moore as high point man. The five lettermen that reported for practice were Rolland Moore, Bill Kline, Monte Kinder, Monroe Kirby and Bob Boyer. All except Moore were at least six feet tall. They also had some very capable sub- stitutes in the second five consisting of Jack Trencii- ard. Bill Crcnan, Roy ten Bensel, Billy Newcomb, and Bill Tyson. By winning the District Tournament the Cambridge squad were rewarded with a trip to Lincoln to the State Tournament held at the Coliseum in which they dropped their first game to Fairmont. This was the first time in the school's history that a Cambridge squad has won the right to enter state competition. Rolland Moore and Bob Be y ?r were selected on the Southwest Conference roll of uonor and also on the All-County team, with Moore and Monroe Kirby being placed on thw All-District team.

Prospects seemed dull as only three lettorr.cn returned. Several, however, proved to be promising material and a good st' rt was made by winning the first two meets and pine ti. a close second to Beaver City in the count; tournament. At t us meet Bill Newcomb, Bob Boy.r, Rclland iooro, Marlyn Kinder, Bill Kline and Ernest Certer qualified for the state moot. Tougher competition was net in the Gothenburg relays but Cambridge ■' nishod suite .1 gh in a field of sixteen. Next the tjourneyed to Arapahoe ' tc an invitational mo t. here, Cambridge did very well. It is believed that had there not boon an injured man Cambridge might have v cn the moot. Two members of the Cambridge Iliodi School to n 1 ‘ ‘ . der tied for tuird in the high jump and Ernest Carter tied for fourth in the 880 yard run. Although six boys will be lost duo to graduation tile future looks promising because of the performance of sophomores and juniors. 1940 FOOTBALL The Trojan football team emerged from a dilhicult but successful season of four wins and six losses. The high-light3 of the season were their convincing victory over Lexington and well played battles against North Platte and lMcCook.

Bill Lockenour, Bob Boyer and Bill Newcomb were mentioned by the Lincoln Journal as out-standing players. Bill Lcckonour was picked by the Omaha World Herald as the best line man in the Southwest Confer- ence and was placed on the second all-state team. Bob Boyer received honorable mention by the same papar. In the conference, Cambridge finished ahead of Kearney and Cozad. For ttm Thanksgiving game, as is the tradition, the letter men voted for an honorary captain. Alter several vot-s there was still a tie, so Bill Newcomb and Bill Lcckonour became cc-captains. 1940 1940 1940 BASKET BALL First Row: Holland Mcbrc, Marlyn Kinder; Bob Boyer, Bill Ivlino and Monro Kirby.

Their year of activity was opened by the freshman mixer which welcomed the freshmen into high school. The second event was the football banquet in Dec- ember, honoring members of the football team. The theme of the banquet was Pigs, in Parade. In keeping with that, the programs were qqskin carcasses; the favors were miniat-n e l oot- 11 players, each C.H.S. player having a r-.au • • ' Ik. n number playing his position; the nut cups and __ • e cards were pigs with footballs or t eii bar.’ s; the c nter pieces were foot- balls standing upright with drum major hats; the ta- bles v ere placed to represent the yard lines on the field, with markers at the end of each table. T e grade school teachers acted a3 waitresses. The third main event on the Pep Club program was the Mother's Tea to which the mothers and the women members of the faculty were invited. In addition each girl invited one guest. A Dutch theme was carried out, using tulips and large windmills for the basic decoration theme. This group also sponsored several dances through out the year and carried out several rallies before the assembly. The impersonation of members of the football team was the central idea of the rally which was acclaimed most clever. Officers of the organisation a± ■ •• President, Catherine Trenchard and Secretary-treasurer, Shirley Newcomb. 1940 i CR.AL TR hi:.
