DEDICATION We the Class of ’47 dedicate this annual to our great friend, Miss Ida Benedict. She has willingly given her time and assistance whenever she has been asked. She has helped with our plays, banquets and always been a faithful friend. She taught some of us in the lower grades, last year she taught some in chemistry class. There never was a more enjoyable class than those supervised by Miss Bene- dict. We hope that by dedicating this annual to her that she never forgets us, because we can indeed never forget her.

Bob Payton was walking down the Main Street in Los Angeles and since it was a pretty warm day he de- cided he would stop at the next drug store. D ,wn the street a little farther he could see the Walgreen. That was one of the largest chain stores in th? United States. Bob casually walked in and sat down at the counter. He sat there for a moment just resting. This had been a pretty big year for Bob. All year long he had been working on a book and now it was just being published, “Lessons on How to Drive Recklessly.” a very educational book. He finally looked up at the waitress and to his great surprise he saw that it was Donna Tomlin. This was the first time he had seen any of his classmates in ten long years as he had been stay- ing close to his home in Los Angeles concentrating on his book. Of course Donna was very glad to see Bob and they started reminiscing about the good old times they had in high school. “Donna, how did you ever get to be a waitress in one of these stores? Boy. you are really getting up in the world,” Bob asked casually. Oh, I’m not just a waitress here, I am the man- ager.” replied Donna in one of those serious tones of hers, “and by the way. I read your new book, and I really think it is swell. I never thought you could write so intelligently.” “By the way have you ever heard from Dick Coba? He went away to medical school, but I never knew what happened to him after that?” Bob asked in a puzzled tone. “Oh, he is a great doctor in the Bryan Memorial in Lincoln. I saw by the paper that he just oper- ated on the President’s son the other day. I guess the son wouldn’t think of having anyone else operate on him and the whole country knows about Dr. Coba now.” “I suppose you hear quite often from Mrs. Ross Newcomb.” “Oh, not so often, but you know she is pretty busy now. She sent me a picture of her twin girls. They look just like Marylou. dimples and all. Then they have a boy who is simply the very image of Ross.” “Say. what is Lila doing now?” “Haven’t you heard? She is in Hollywood mak- ing one of those ice skating pictures and her favor- ite hair specialist is Bonnie. She has a shop there now you know.” “How’s Decker getting along by now? Did she ever get to leave home?” “Oh, yes, she left home and went away to veter- inary school. She is now living in McCook and is known the state over for her good veterinary work. “Say what did our brilliant classmate. Mildred Harsch ever do? Oh. she is a professor in the Nebraska Univer- sity. Jean Ohlson and Ruth Heisleman are also teaching. Ruth is teaching the first grade in Cam- bridge and Jean is the Principal of Junior High. ‘‘Is Patricia O’Brien still living on the farm and does she still have that old car she used to drive to school? I bet I could give her a few lessons on driving the old buggy!” “No, she isn’t on the farm, and I doubt if she does have the old car. The last I heard she had just bought a new Packard. She Ls private secre- tary to Nebraska’s new’ governor.” ‘‘Say, I thought I heard Fidler over the radio the other day. Is he really a news commentator?” “Yes. he went on the radio about two years ago. Remember how he used to fight over who would get the World Herald in the library every morning? He must have had it in him then to be a news commentator, and “Red Colvert do you remem- ber him?—Well, he has an orchestra of his own now and is playing at the Turnpike in Lincoln. “How’s Roger Newcomb? He used to be the life of everything. I surely have missed him. “He is now editor of the Omaha World Herald and he writes editorials for the Herald. “I suppose Norman Kinder is working on a farm somewhere?” “No. he is a photographer for the New York Times. “Say. where is Calvin now?” “Oh, he and his family moved to Chicago a few years ago and he is preaching in one of the big churches there.” “What’s Kenneth Bose doing these days.” “He’s running a garage repairing wrecked cars. He got the idea after he had wrecked his eighth car.” “Did Betty Burton ever get married? “Yes, she got married right after school was out and she is living in Chambers. “I suppose Dean Sexton is still on the farm.” “Yes. he took over his folks farm north of town as they have retired and moved to Cambridge.” “Well I guess that is all the kids that graduated in our class. No, wait a minute what happened to Dick Trant? “Oh. he is forman of the Bethlehem Steel Cor- poration and is making that money that always seemed so important to him.” “Well, Bob have you decided what you are going to order. Thus ended a very pleasant afternoon of re- miniscing about the good old days in Cambridge High School. SENIOR CLASS PLAY f— ■— Fixin’ Aunt Fanny”.

A very successful play was given this year by the Junior Class of C. H. S. This play was a three- act farce called Health. Wealth and Romance.” It was full of humorous action and laughable dia- logue. It takes place at a health resort called the House of Health and operated by Terror Tripp, an ex-prize fighter, who thinks there is nothing better than good out-door excercise to strengthen a person and proceeds to demonstrate on his guests. Whinnie” More is a character, who finds himself as the sought after possessor of the correct answer to a nationwide contest so he comes to the House of Health for refuge. Here he finds his troubles are only further multiplied. To keep from being found by two crooks who appear on the scene, he disguises himself as the wealthy Mrs. Lucretia Klondike, of Alaska. Whinnie’s friend. Charlie Kennan. tries to help, but succeeds in further confusing him and things get uproariously funny when Charlie’s valet, Sylvester and Terror Tripp begin to take an interest in Lucretia! When Whinnie finds he canot tell his girl-friend who he really is. he is really desperate, but finally man- ages to bring the play to a happy ending.

They had only 3 hours of practice before playing Edison. Most of the home games were very exciting, for example, tho El wood game required two overtimes in which the El wood center potted the winning points from quite a distance, the Beaver City game was a close one and the Benkeiman game was a very good one in which the Trojans scored twenty-five points in the last quarter to defeat Benkeiman.

The Trojans had to play Benkeiman first in the tournament. They beat them in an overtime. The next night we played Culbertson and were defeated The following night we played Arapahoe for consola- tion and again we were defeated. There is always another year to try in the District Tournament and Cambridge will always try to do their best and to win if it is possible. 36 Cambridge vs. ...

The boys carried the ball 138 yards to Benklemens” 11 yards. The game ended 6 up. Orleans vs. Cambridge The first half was pretty even with both teams hitting the line consistently. The last half was in favor of the Orioles even though there was no score. Trenton vs. Cambridge The trojans had bad luck their first home game. The winning touchdown came in the second quarter when a punt was blocked and a Trenton man re- covered behind the Trojan goal. Curtis vs. Cambridge Rain fell during the entire game against the Curtis Aggies. The game ended with score stand- ing 20 to 0 in favor of the Aggies. Roger Newcomb, senior end was lost for the season as the result of a broken arm. Cozad vs. Cambridge Cozad outplayed the Trojans all the way. It was a little muddy but not bad enough to hurt the playing. Colvert was injured on the third play. Cozad came out on top 19 to 0. Oxford vs. Cambridge The Trojans came back from a losing streak to defeat Oxford 41-7. Blocking and tackling were good. Touchdowns were scored as follows: Payton, 3: Summers. 2: and Coba. 1. A knee injury kept Ronnie Fidler on the bench. Arapahoe vs. Cambridge On the second play of the game Trant inter- cepted a pass and went to the ten yard line where Payton put it over after the second attempt. Bob Payton and Harold Summers showed their stuff in lugging the pigskin down the field in the victory over Arapahoe which ended 39-6. Norman Kinder —29— ♦' and Dean Sexton were the outstanding linemen of the day. Elwood vs. Cambridge The game with Elwood came as a kind of sur- prise. Blocking and tackling were bad and the offense lacked some of the fire it had shown. From a statistical standpoint the Trojans were lucky to get off 7-7. Iloldrege vs. Cambridge The Trojans played a unique brand of football in the game with Holdrege. The Trojans came back again as a second half ball club. The Trojans rallied with a completed pass to Stevens by Smith. Holdrege bottled Payton up on the try for the extra point leaving the score 7 to 6. Culbertson vs. Cambridge The Trojans waded through the rain and mud to tie the Culbertson Bears November 15. The Bears couldn’t use their terrific pass offense, and + the Trojans couldn’t use their running attack because of footing. The score ended 0 to 0. This was the Trojans’ fourth and last tie. Beaver City vs. Cambridge Thanksgiving Day was a beautiful day for a football game; the sun was shining and the day couldn’t have been any better. The Cambridge Trojans took full advantage of everything. The Trojans ended the season with a win over Beaver City 32 to 0. Coach Mike Miller enrolled thirty-one boys for football this year. Eight of the eleven lettermen were seniors. The team won three games this year which gave them valuable experience. The boys of the second team will be capable of playing first team ball next year. Along with some of first team juniors of this year and the second team boys they should do very well next year. ♦ ■ —30— TRACK FRONT ROW: Darrold Raeburn, Richard Arnold. Jlggs Suir.mrs.
