CLASS HISTORY Little Cherubs, twenty-nine in a circle facing Mrs. Paul Poush in 1936 formed the nucleus of our current senior class. Only nine remained to make their entry into high school. They were: Ruth Johnston, Betty Barber, Betty Johnson, Hazel Edgerton, Norma Seago, Irene Greening, Harold Summers, Vaughn Stevens and Jerry Fidler. Years sped by and our footsteps became larger as we trekked from room to room. On fifth grade level we were climbing steps to Junior High. Upon reaching the eighth grade two stalwart youths, Daune Walter and Robert Kutz joined our class. Green but willing we became freshman in September, 1944. Here our class was given a real boost by the addition of Betty Ricketts, Dorothy Dixson, Glenn Brooks, Richard Arnold, Jim Nelson, Daune Smith, Helen O'Brien, June Hockemier, Claudine Owens, Paul Johnson, Roger Jones, Phyllis Ohlson, Dar- rel and Earl Rauch. Under the supervision of Mr. R. N. Nelson, we elected Vaughn Stevens as president; Duane Walter, vice-president; Anjula Dick, sec- retary; Harold Summers, student council representative. Taking advantage of the two allotted parties we enjoyed a Halloween celebration and a scavenger hunt. The fall of '45 saw us returning as sophomores, well-acquainted with C. H. S. and its customs. This years' activities were under the direction of Mr. E. W. Dyas. Richard Arnold, president; Hazel Edgerton, vice-president; June Hocke- mier, secretary; Duane Smith, treasurer; and Claudine Owens as student council representative composed the executive group of our class. Things began to happen for us in our junior year. Our play, Health, Wealth and Romance” proved quite successful. That great day in November when our class rings arrived will never be forgotten! Cleora Teter became a member of our class and the officers were: President, Phyllis Ohlson; vice- president, Vaughn Stevens; secretary, Bob Kutz; treasurer, Duane Walters; Student council representative, June Hockemier; representative at large, Duane Smith. The climax of the year came with the Junior-Senior banquet in May. The Gypsy theme was carried out. Miss Phyllis Lowe acted in the capacity of our sponsor. In September, 1947, we strated on the last mile of the way with Miss Lowe again as our class sponsor. Gordon Perkins from Red Oak, Iowa swelled our graduating number to twenty-seven. Our senior officers were: Bob Kutz, president; Betty Johnson, vice-president; Norma Seago, secretary-treasurer; Betty Barber, student council representative. We chose aqua and rose as our class colors and for our flower, the American Beauty Rose. During this event- ful year the class pictures arrived, we gave our play, attended the Junior- Senior banquet, had sneak day, and then - - almost before we realized it our school days were over. Never again would we enter C. H. S. as students but our memories will return to inspire us toward a higher goal. -11—

CLASS PROPHECY Discovery of the prehistoric Cambridge man in 1950 has given our com- munity world fame. Professor Seewich from the University of Rome is compil- ing historical data on the Cambridge site from 3000 B. C. until the present year, 1965. Captain Robert CGus ) Kutz has volunteered to uncover the vital sta- tistics of the Senior class of 1948 for the Professor's records. We see him now as he rides up to the Cambridge Municipal Airport, the largest in the state. Well, of course, it's managed by Darrel Rauch. For the trip he will use Darrel's latest discovery. Supersonic S-21. His first stop is Beatrice, Nebraska, where Ruth Johnston is directing matron of the State Home for the feeble-minded. She recently received her M. A. in Psychology and here she intends to pursue her research. Then on to Lincoln to the residence of Roger Jones where Dorothy and Junior keep the home fires burning while Roger is on his job. Remember his respect for traffic laws? That's how he happens to be an official of the Nebraska State Highway Patrol. When Gus arrives in Chicago, he circles the home field of the Chicago Bears where Harold Summers has developed his football technique profes- sionally. What a salary! ! ! Upon landing, Gus makes his way to the Fuller Brush Company where Claudine Owens is supervising the manufacture of her new invention, a back-scratcher by remote control. From Chicago he flies south to Memphis, Tennessee. Here's where he interviews Earl Rauch employed by the Ford Motor Company as a body de- signer. Phyllis Oh Ison is next on his list. As attractive as ever, she models bathing suits and doubles as a hostess for lawn parties on Miami Beach in Florida. Heading his plane north, he is soon over our nation's capital. Duane Walter has recently been elected U. S. Senator from Nebraska for his second consecutive term. As Walt and Gus talk over old times in C. H. S. Gus's eyes stray to Walt's desk of which the center of attraction is a picture of his wife, formerly June Hockemier. Maintaining an eminent position in the Washing- ton Diplomatic circle has kept her too busy to rock a cradle. After arriving at La Guardia field in New York he decides to rent a bicycle for riding to Westpoint. Here Richard Arnold has made a famous name for himself. Since graduating from the academy he has become Dean of the Plebs. Back in New York he goes directly to Fifth Avenue to contact Norma Seago, directing designer for Vogue. (Remember how she was sug- gested as a potential vocal artist of Metropolitan Opera—still insist she has the ability ! ! ) By this time Gus's plane has been carefully serviced and checked so he s off for Boston! Helen O'Brien was one of those lucky people who won a limerick contest. Result: A penthouse in Boston, Chrysler convertible and a life's supply of Duz. His last stop in the United States is Georgetown, Maine. Dorothy Dixson is one of the advisors at the Smith College although her avoca- tion of editing spelling books has brought recognition of her faculty work. A few miles from the Maine coast lives Betty Lee Ricketts. She has distinguished herself as a mistress of the lighthouse currently featured in the Reader’s Digest. She is also author of a series of articles on personality development. Success has at last overtaken Glenn Brooks. Gus witnesses the evidence as he flies over Glenn’s experimental farm in Canada. • His scientific methods are recognized all over the world by leading agriculturists. Now he is ready for his flight across the Atlantic. It seems a short time before he 4s over the London Municipal Airfield. He gets the biagest surprise of his life when he — 13—
