They dropped games to North Platte, Gothenburg, Cozad, McCook and Holdrege and tied with Curtis, and Arapahoe. The game with Lexington was called off. The McCook and Arapahoe games were considered outstand- ing. The Trojans played the Republican Valley Champs a deadlock, a game of many thrills. On Turkey Day the boys played a first half that almost left McCook in the mud. For the last game it is the tradition to elect a senior for the honorary captain. This year the honor went to ''Sarge Lockenour, the only four year letterman. The seniors are Carter, Coba, Cucklcr, Dixon, Klinke- biel, Lockenour, Nelson, C. ten Bensel, R. ten Bensel, and Jack Trenchard. BASKETBALL The basketball season opened with veterans Cronin, J. Trenchard and Bill Tyson, all of whom had seen action in the Class B Tourney in Lincoln in 1940. Although the Trojans did not have a3 good a season com- paratively as the previous year they still put on some thrilling performances. The game v ith the Indianola team was particularly thrilling and outstanding. The game was won in the last minute by a Cronin one-hand shot. Jack Trenchard and Fritz Klinkcbiel will be lost by graduation. TRACK The track season opened with Earnest Carter, the only letterman. Carter had made trips to Lincoln in his sopho- more and junior years, where he ran the 880. Milford Nelson turned out the best performance with his mile run. His best time was 4:48, run in the Class B race in Lincoln, Fritz Klinkcbiel was probably the most versatile per- former. His favorite event was the high jump, in which ho reached an altitude of 5 feet 10-| inches. lie also ran the hurdles with the form of a veteran, but he lacked speed. Fritz also threw the javelin. At the 3tato meet Cambridge was represented by Tyson, Klinkcbiel, Carter, and Nelson. One point was made by Nel- son in the mile, 19 41 — • • s • • . ; • % • • • •• 4 % T r • % •i j 7 9 4 1 19 41 MIXED CHORUS Top How: Royce Dick', Ernest Stevens, Pat Keith, Perry Rankin Paul Minnick, Bob Trenchard, Donald harpies, Carl Keith� Second Row: Bryan Faubian, Bob Liggett, Ben Tyson, Raymond Cuckler, Bill Tyson, Boyd Corder,.

This was divided into three acts and a finale. The curtain rose on the first act to show a party at a southern plantation, the hone of Stephen Foster. The chorus and individual members consisted of Stephen Foster compositions. In Act II the scene moved up several years to a night in an old opera house. Ernest Stevens, acting as the Master of Ceremonies, introduced the following numbers: the quartet (Royce Dick, Perry Rankin. Boyd Cordcr, Jack Trenchard) singing Sweet Adeline, and A Tavern in the Town; the melodrama, The Plight of a Maiden; Vilia sung by Margaret Fee, and the Flora-Dera sextet. Time moved on and the audience found themselves in the roof garden of a large modern ho cel where the floor show was about to begin., The show began with the announcer, Bob Lockenour, presenting the following: the high school chorus singing In the Still of tile Might; a tap dance by Petty Mather and Janice Rankin; the boy:s quar- tet singing Over the Rainbow; lorene Cawthra and Paul Minnick in a comedy tap dance; the trie (Beth Barber, Marion Estergard, Garnet Cole) singing Ma; and Tea for Two sung by the chorus with Peggy Cowles doing a soft shoe tap dance. The musical ended in a patriotic finale with Paula Jean Minnick as the Statue of Liberty. The chorus sang America and God Bloss America with Royce Dick singing the solo. The traditional candle light Christmas program was pre- sented by the music department in conjunction with the speech department. As Janice Rankin read the Christmas story from the Bible the Christmas cards were sung by the mixed sliorus, glee clubs, small groups, and soloists. Another big event was the District Music Contest heldin McCook April 16 and 19, The superior ratings won in this contest were: be; s' high voice, Royce Dick: boys ’ low voice, Boyd Corder; girls’ medium voice, Margaret Fee, boys' .quar- tet; girls' glee club; boys’ glee club;and the mixed chorus. The excellent ratings were girls’ high voice,3ethene Barber; boys1 medium voice, Ernest Stevens; and the girls' trio. Those receiving superior ratings were eligible to go to the National Music Contest which was held at Topeka this year. In order to raise money a dance was held where several of the gay ninety numbers from Tho Century of Music were usod in the floor show. At Topeka, the boys' quartet and Royce Dick received superior ratings. Margaret Fee and Boyd Corder received excellent ratings. The music department also supplied several numbers for the May Fete, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. 7 9 4 7 BAND The Cambridge Band has made much progress since last year when the annual was printed. The band, now a year and a half old, is playing Class B music. All band members are very proud of their coats and hats that xvere bought for them by the school and the town. At the first of this year, the band marched and played at the McCook fair and rodeo. On November 1, the entire group was talien to Holdrege to see and hear the United States Navy Band. At all home football games, the b°nd marched and played. The band appeared at McCook for tho annual . Thanks- giving Day game between Cambridge and McCook. In January, preparations were started for the band to enter the District V Music Sontest at McCook. These solos were chosen and an overture for the group. The solos and ratings were: Pat Keith—clarinet—excellent, Carl Keith—trumpet—good, and Donald Smith—bass tuba—good. The band Received a rating of excellent. During the summer, concerts will be given on Wednesday night of each week. The band now has three baton twirlers and one drum majorette. At the beginning of the school year a second band was started. Twenty-five members enrolled for this band. They gave a concert on the Rural School Play Day. Each member is working hard because within six months, some of them will be permitted to join the first band. The Midget Drum Corps of twenty-seven members did then- selves proud by making a trip to Lincoln for the Nebraska State Fair. They drilled before an estimated crowd of 3000 and were one of the main attractions. Six new . monbora joined the drum corps at the beginning of this year. This organization has started spring practice in preparation for summer performances. 19 41 r =.......... = 19 41 ■ ■— .. DRAMATICS CLUB Drama Workshop, was organized this school year for the benefit of those interested in the stage. Members of the club elected to office were as follows: president, Patty Mather; vice president, Pat Jones; secretary, Jeanne Pahlo As membership was opened to the school the club was fairly large. The membership included approximately fifty. The large group made an unlimited amount of talent for plays and readings. The club met every two weeks on Monday nights at which time plays were given and directed by the students. All types of drama were included, farce comedy and dramatic. The district five speech contest was held March' 27� The readings were given in the morning and afternoon at the Congregational Church, and the one act plays were presented in the evening at the high school auditorium. The ratings of those who participated from Cambridge were as follows: Don Pearson, interpretive oratory, superior; Margaret Fee, humorous, superior; Patricia Mather, dramatic, superior; Pat Jones, extemporaneous, good. The one act play with Jeanne Pahl, Janice Rankin, Boyd Corder, and Jack Trenchard as the cast received a rating of excellent. They presented the play Show Up . JUNIOR PLAY On December 10, and January 12, the Junior Class pre- sented the play Growing Pains by Auran ia Rouverol. The play was given twice because a rain slackened gate receipts on the first presentation. Growing Pains featured the Mc- Intyres and some of the problems of their adolescent chil- dren� Miss Sonderegger is to be congratulated on the suc- cess of the play.

C7.-UB The G-irls' Pep Club net for Its first meeting to elect officers, Beth Barber was chosen president and Ann Tyson, secretary-treasurer. Tryouts for cheer leaders were held soon after and Marion Estergard, Janice Rankin and Lorene Cawthra were selected. The thirty-nine members of the Pep Club opened the social calendar of the school year by welcoming the freshmen at a high school mixer. After the compleGion of the football season, the organ- ization honored the team at the annual banquet. This year the theme Trogan Rodeo'1 was used. The decorations were along the line of cowboy equipment. The favors were very cleverly made orange stuffed calico horses, the nutcups, boots, and the centerpieces, pot bed cacti. In the cen- ter of the banquet hall was a minature ranch. At the begin- ning of the program, the Honorary Captain Bob LCckenour was presented to the guests. He had been previously chosen by a vote of the football team. The faculty members, both high school and grade school and their wives were also guests. Waitresses were members of the third year homemaking class. Their dresses were also very appropriate for the occasion. On May third, the girls presented the annual Mothers1 Tea. Each girl invited her mother and one other guest. In addition women faculty members, wives of school board mem- bers, and the P. E. 0. were invited. The theme of the tea was Rainbow . The main decorations were large rainbows in the lower hall and on the stage. Each guest was made to walk through a hanging of artificial rain. A very lovely program was given after which tea was served in the home- making department„ cat 1 ========= 7 9 4 7 ■■= CLASS PROPHESY While Betty Hilton was in Chicago this spring, she wan- dered into a fortune telling booth down on Maxwell Street, The old toothless gypsy gazed into her crystal ball and saw Betty on the docks at Frisco Bay: six years hence, watching for Kirb’s ship to come in bringing him home on a furlough, Betty gasped and then asked, If you can see that for me why not just keep looking and I’ll find out what the rest of the seniors will be doing six years from now,11 So she pulled out a list of names and this is the dope she received. The black curtain of the future has been raised and now we know that--- Bob Lockenour has just finished embalming the great Henry Ford, He wipes his hands and says, Ah, now I can go home to a big steak dinner that Marion has prepared with her own little hands,. For Marlon ha.s quit the teaching profes- sion and is now Mrs, s Sarge. The scene changes to a spacious hospital room in Ari- zona. We see Ann Tyson glide into the room in her white uniform to give Fritz K. his morning orange juice, Fritz injured his leg the day before while trying to break a young three-year old colt, at his ranch twenty-five miles north- east. We see Jack Trenchard in the control room in the Metro- politan Opera House on the evening of their first regular broadcast. He smiles good luck to Don Marples. as Don proudly walks to the grand piano in the center of the stage to present his first piano concert to a world-wide audience. Orafino has finally solved the problem of keeping a teacher, for Charlotte Anderson has been teaching in the high school there for the last three years. Charlotte makes her home with her cousin Mrs. Jiggs Carter, the former Phyllis Hess, Don Stahl is polishing his: milk wagon prior to his trip to Boys Town to deliver their morning milk. Don is now half owner of the Wake Up and Live dairy. As he returns along a winding driveway he meets the flashy yellow wagon which is Bud Bennett’s bread truck coming out from his bakery in Omaha. We gaze silently at the awe- in spiring scene of a candle lighting ceremony at Johns Hopkins Institution for Nurses where June Gordon and Mary Thompson are just receiving their caps for registered nursing. The ten Bensil boys, Carl and Roy. are joint owners of a 25,000 acre cattle ranch in Cherry County, Nebraska.
