FOOTBilLL The spirit of football came to Cambridge with this year's coach, Cley Richendifer. Lettermen who returned were Ikx Hamr Leo Kelly, Ernest Stevens, Bill Tyoon, Bill Cronan,. Bay Smith, Paul Minnick, Kip Cawthra, and Stanley Holsten. The Trojan's first encounter slated Orleans and took, nlace just three weeks after the season's opening practice. Using the Notre Dame shift, Rike's installation, the Tro- jans lost by a small margin, With little experience the Trojans again lost to North Platte, but the Platters had to olay some real ball to earn their victory. Burke scored first in the game. From then until the half, if was very close. • ith a.8-7 tally. Finally in the last half, the ex- hausted Trojans gave ray before the vaunted Bull-dog attack. The final score was 34-6. The following games for the Trojans were both good and bad opes with bad breaks entering in. Cambridge upset the- '.'dowe-bucket b trouncing Curtis 11-6. The next to the last game of the season found the Trojans on the long end_ of the score winning 15-0 over Trenton. The final gano with .our old rivals, McCook, ended in a scoreless tie after a terrific struggle on the part of both teams. The game with Culbertson was unquestionably the rough- est game of the season. We beat them by one point, and, since they were penalised more than 50 yards during the(|game for foul playing, C albertson claimed the referee was fix- , ing the game for us.. This was Culbertson's only loss of the year arid they ended uo ranking 10th in the state • The lddal-s held Holdrege to three touchdowns, thou i the Dusters were favored to win by a huge score. .. Next year's line-up will include lettermen Max Warn , Leo Kelly, Paul Trenchard, Bill Cronan, Ben Tyson, Monk Minnick, 3ob Smith, and Dan Tyson. The following is a tabulation of this year's game scor- ing and game captains.

Holbrook and Oxford heat the Trojans bu t the Orioles.'of Oxford had an exception- ally hard time doing it. The Trojahs “ were downed by one point, which was the result of a foul that occurred in the dying minutes of the game, and the free shot was made after the game was over. The Trojans wpn over Orleans hut lost the remainder of the 42’ schedule. Co sad found that the Mighty Tr-ojans proved to he hardly a Pushover, In this game, Bill Tyson, controlled ..“GozaA's Kot-shot and prevented his making' his'usual' ‘.ten Polhts. The game's end found a 10 point margin - favoring Cozad, Cambridge was downed once and drubbed twice by Arapahoe The first encounter was in the County Tournament ending 43-13., The next was hardly, so bad, 43-37, and in the Dis- trict tournament, the Trojans, came up to 36, Arapahoe, 31. The last proved to be an- interesting game when Arapahoe took an'oarly lead and held it until the last, of the third quar- ter and during the fourth quarter Cambridge had as good or better ahance to victory than did our op onent. The Curtis game—the last for the seniors—was q queer one. For the first time, the Trojans set their minds on a victory, but oon they were changed. They played desperate ball, made wild passes, but m ssed set-ups. After the half, the Trojan teamsters turned to enjoying defeat by having a little fun during the last 16 minutes of the game. In the last half, the Trojans scored 18 points and held Aggie scoring to 14, Due to the lead already against them, the Trojans bowed in defeat. The following is. a scoring account, of the 42 season.

Bill Tyson was only returning letterman. Minnick, Cronan, Don Smith, Pat Jones, and fyson made most of the trips. The team competed in the Gothenburg Belays, the McCook Invitational, Arapahoe Invitational, and the County meet. Cronan was the chief point getter for the Trojans, as he was always crowding the leaders in the him hurdle events. He and Pat Jones, 880 specialist, were Cam- bridge's only entries in.the state meet. Neither placed at Lincoln against the heavy state-wide competition. In mid-season an early • spring flood ruined the Cam- bridge facilities for track. The flood buried the shot and vaulting pole, as well as the jumping pit and vaulting standards. This discontinued the track practices for 1942. The track team of Cambridge High sincerely hopes, -for future teams, that someday Cambridge can keep up with other schools by having a good football field and track with which to practice on. Teams have had to cope with floods and poor dirt track long enough J t • ... BASKETBALL Front Row: Ray Smith.

'Both Music groups took part in programs throughout the year. The Fall Follies of 1942, a suring concert, and'the local}district, and national mu- sic contests were highlights. On January 7, Mr. Dick to.k over duties as the new hand director. Mr. Dick enlarged and improved the already-active hand until it contained forty-five members. Besides the reg- ular hand, there was also the beginning hand and also the drum corps. The hand clayed Student Prince'by Sigmund ,xm- hery and farming Uo March by Ribble at the local concert on April 15.

Bo’Ti Corder and Ben Tyson, and to the Girls’ Trio, the Boys- C-lee Club, and Mixed Chorus. Lucile Schauer received superior for her uiano solo. Excellent ratings were given Band, Girls’ Glee Club, Pat Keith, Don Smith, and Perry Ran- kin. Those receiving Good ratings were Shirley Altman, Pat- ricia Kuhlman and Floris Thomas.

In Omaha the Boys’ aaxtet, Girls Trio, and Royce Dick received Highly Superior Ratings. Boyd bor- der rated Superior and Excellent ratings were given to- Mar- garet Fee, Ben.

PEP CLUB chose as its president, Patty Mather, and Mary Minnick as secretary-treasurer. Janice Rankin refused her inherited position as cheer leader. Lucile Schauer and Irma Lee Car- ter were the two newly-chosen leaders—Lorene Cawthra held the position from last year,. The thirty-six members of the organization ushered in the 41- 42 season by sponsoring the annual Freshman.Mixer honoring the new Freshman class of Cambridge High. At the close of the football season, the Pep Club honr- ored the football boys - 1th a banquet. This year’s theme was Goal to So. All decorations—favors, nutcups, and centerpieces—were each and every one of a gridiron pature. In the center of the banquet hall was a miniature football field, After the banquet, Coach RichendifeP introduced 'the newly-elected Honorary Captain, Glen Burke, and Co-Captain, Ernest Stevens. This spring the club voted not to sponsor the usual Mother’s Day Tea, but instead to go on a hay-rack ride. Remaining money is to be given to next year’s club toward buying new uniforms.

Later in the year when foresight was given to Annual publication, Bill was again given the honor to head the staffr-the same as before—with additional help from ' Mary Minnick, Aria Mae Stevens, Bob Trenchard, Don Smith, Janice Rankin, Gerald Cawthra, Rita Fisher, Patty Mather, and the balance of the Senior Class. For many weeks previous to publication, plans wore finite as to arrangement, paging, dedication, and form for this year’s annual. Each staff member did his part, sometimes more, toward a better and bigger annual than has ever be- fore been produced. This publication should prove whether or not the staff has achieved its goal. ...ANNUAL STAFF Janice Rankin, Boyd Corder, Don: Smith, Mar; Minnick, Aria Stevens, Bill Tyson, Miss Richards, Rita Fisher, Don Pearson, C-erald Cawthra and Patty, Mather.

Students lead out in work of all types in aiding teachers make copies of tests and in making programs for entertainments, and commercial students did all work toward editing the four editions of the school Trojan,;l During the immunization program, spon- sored in the school by 'local doctors, several commercial students handled all required stenographic work in recording and filing cases-. Besides regular class work, students did extra work for practice in the many different types of work involved in office routine, Some students worked in school offices of the principal and superintendent. Two shorthand students did actual office practice in down town offices during the last six weeks of school. The' students again ran away with the District V divi- sion of the state commercial contest. The contest was held at Sdison on March 2i. Last year the Cambridge entrants also won the contest. Shorthand- typewriting, bookkeeping and spelling comprised the events. Outstanding for Cambridge was the novice typing team, which ranked third in the State comparisons.

Now it was at hand? .her classroom was filled with bright-eyed youngsters. Her first thought was to test the youngsters intellectual abilities. The first attempt at forming the foundation from which to begin to build a mental fortress for ,her youngsters was the color-card test. : : After sea'.ing the students and collecting names, the teacher rent removed her color cards. The first card was bright yellow. The teacher called upon a- bright youngster in the front row to identify -it,. Purple. This was only the beginning of an array of talents- dis- played by the Class of J42.

OLD TIMES 'June 1 , 1952—New York City. Mr. W. Perry Rankin, retired manager of Macy's Department Stores in Ne' York City, enter- tained a few friends at a two o'clock luncheon Saturday at the Waldorf--Astoria. Among guests was Gerald Cawthra, mana- ging editor of New York Tines and graduate of the same class in high school as Mr. Rankin. • , After the luncheon, Mr. Rankin asked Kip, as he was ' known in his high school days, to join him in a bull ses- sion, Well,- 'Kip,' it's been a good long time since we've had a-session. Let's see, we graduated about ten years ago last month. I haven't seen you since then to really talk to you. Do you ever hear from any of our classmates? Oh, yes; Mr. Cawthra replied, Often I hear from some of them Bill Tyson freouently has opinions to offer in my ' 'The Public Sneaks' column. 3ill is now Professor William B. Tyson of Vaasar College. He received his Master's Degree at Columbia three years ago. He's head of the Social Sci- ence Department at Vassar now. Patty Mather is there, too, I suppose you knew she is Mrs. Tyson now. She's teaching music and dancing to the young ladies, I quite often hear from Don Smith, too; You remember him—the one who always argued so much in Sociology Class. He has a band now. You have probably heard of it, since it is one of the best in the nation. By the way, if ever you TOant to 'make a quick trip to the other coast, be sure to obtain a seat on one of Bob Trenchard'3 Trans-Continental fli it planes. He is rec- ognized as one of the best of Trans-Continental pilots. Veil, I've been going by train because 'Breezy' Burke is one ' of Burlington's best engineers, related Mr; Rankin. And do you remember Don Pear on? I brought him to New York with me as cartoonist for my paper. I suppose he brought la Mae with him? (Continued) (New York Prominents Review Old Titles Continued) Of course. I had a letter from Pat Jones the other day. Ho s in Prance now. He struck it rich in the oil fields and is touring the world. By the way,” asked Mr. Cawthra, Do you ever hear from your cousin, Janice?11 Oh, yes. She married a mill ionaire out in California just like she always said she would. Guess Steve is still in Cambridge. Eoyd Corder operates his own drug store in Hawaii now. Mary Minnick is an interior decorator here in this city. Virginia, Albrecht is a stenographer at my store and Gerald Keller is one of my bookkeepers. I think several of our class members have become entangled by the bonds of matrimony. There's Edna Fritz, Rita Fisher, and Laura Baker that I know of. Yes, and Botty Summers, Norma Earsora, and Reeky Weber. Virginia Eprsom is head nurse of the children’s ward at Francis .‘illard Hospital in Chicago. Lucile Weber is a nurse at a hosuital in Denver and i read in the Los Angeles paper yesterday that Gurnet Cole has been appointed superin- tendent of an orphanage out there. Elaine Johnston is pri- vate secretary to the governor of Colorado. June Sexton op- erates the linotype in the foreign news room at my paper. I saw Ray Smith the other day at the bakery on Fifth Avenue. Ray sa?d he had just bought it. He also told me Paul Fidler was doing a profitable plumbing business in Chicago. I believe Marie Vermaas is in Chicago too. She’s head of the Teen-Age Dress Department in Marshall fields. Wood- row Walker is an industrial designer in Detroit and Iona Schaffert is still teaching back in Nebraska. I had a let- ter froml her the other day, said Mr. Rankin, You remember Patty Heater? She has three little boys now and Rita Fisher has two dark haired, blue-eyed girls. Shirley Altman, June Krauss, and Alberta Thompson, all work out in Seattle. Shirley and Alberta are stenographers and June owns a cafe. Do you know anything about Royce Dick? The last I knew, he was studying music at the Boston Con- servatory. Oh, he’s conducting the philharmonic orchestra now and Lucile Schauer is his pianist. She also composes for him. Well, Perry, I’ve got to go back to the city room. We’ve had a swell talk. It’s fun to find out about our class. By the OTay, here's a ticket to the .Metropolitan Opera. I had an extra one and thought you might be inter- ested as Margaret Fee is singing the title role in Carmon, Well so long, be seeing you. In a few hours Mr. Rankin and Mr. Cawthra!—Perry and Kip —had renewed friendships and cast another glance at the’ sands of time by discussing each classmate who had graduated ,r7ith them back in '42.
