Only four of our little crew remain to graduate—Carolyn King, Joanne Denman, Mozelle Moseley., and Joan Sexton. In Port Second Grade we were Joined by Eileen Berres. From then on we had smooth sailing taking on as able shipmates Kathryn Whitaker at Sixth Port and Rosalie Lem- mon and Florine Leech at Eighth Port. In September of 1947, having been joined by nine ambitious and adventurous seaman, our mag- nificent fleet, proudly bearing aloft floating ban- ners of Rose and Silver, was headed for a distant land called the Land of Graduation. This land could be reached only after a long voyage of four years over this much traveled but to us an unknown sea. There were four islands to be ex- plored on the way named Freshman. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. On Freshman Isle our new shipmates included Carl Johnson. Kenneth Stevenson, Hazel Moore, Barbara Allen. Elizabeth Barth, Doris Teter, Phyllis Arnold. Joyce Trosper. and Phyllis Downey, each one firmly resolved to succeed or go down with the ship. Here we spent a happy year together, although some of us spent some time in the brig. Now it was time for our departure; and as we neared the next island, we felt our heads begin to swell and thought we were very wise indeed. We found ourselves no longer freshies but sophomores. Ann Cross joined us here to finish the journey with us. Although this Isle possessed many dan- gers. we were not lacking in good times. Rankin Bros. Grain-Feed Phone 108 On our voyage to Junior Isle our sailors mut- inied. and we were left with just two boys . . . but such boys! Their number is no indication of their strength and ability. Each a heaven-born genius in his mother’s eyes, each the future President of the U. S. in his mother’s dreams. On this island we discovered a pirate treasure, pieces of gold in the form of class rings. We entertained the senior crew to a Stardust Banquet and gave a play entitled “Miss Jimmy.” In our journeys several sailors sailed with us awhile, then left for different ports. Among these were Wayne Greening. Eldon Durner, Darlene Kuhlman, Harry Durston. Richard Staadt, Jack Richards. Marilyn Azlin, and Nelda Nicholson. In September of 1950 with Carolyn King at the helm we headed our ship for the home port. Senior Isle. On this voyage the Sea of Matrimony claimed two of our shipmates, Nelda Nicholson and Phyllis Christenson. Although we were sorry to lose them, we wished them success in their new ventures. During this eventful year on Senior Isle we had our passport pictures taken, were treated to Grand Chow by the juniors, gave a Show Boat production titled “Let Me Grow Up; and best of all the whole crew went A.W.O.L. for an entire day. Then our superior officers jerked us back into line, and before we knew it we had received our diplomas and were marching down the gang plank for the last time-graduated, to enter the Sea of Life with many fond memories of our years on the Sea of Knowledge.

If our children aren’t Navy minded, I’ll never know why with Gene being a lieutenant. Mike, our oldest child is in the fourth grade, and guess who his teacher is? Hazel Moore, one of our old class- mates. I visited school not long ago, and found she had gotten her master’s degree at Vassar. She told me Barbara Allen was back in Nebraska teaching near Cambridge. While shopping for my two year old daughter, Jeanne. I went into “The Tiny Tot Style Shop’’ here in Los Angeles and saw Joyce Trosper who is now designing clothes exclusively for children from one to six yfcars old. My husband and I entertained a group of friends last week in honor of Carl hot lips” Johnson who has become an outstanding actor since the release of his recent picture Kiss Me Again . Co-starring with him wras Shelly Winters. I guess the class plays he wras in in high school encouraged him to go on into dramatics. Not long ago I flew to Washington, D. C.. on business and while I was in the East I saw the Yale-Harvard football game. I happened to see Kenneth Stevenson after the game and had a long talk with hifh. It seems as though after two years of majoring in music at the University of Nebraska he realized football was his real ambi- tion. changed horses in mid-stream, and became head coach at Yale. The ballet show, On Your Toes”, was in Los Angeles about a month ago, and I had a long talk with Rene Caprice, the star of the show who we know better as Turtle” Barth. She is married to a wonderful man and has two children although they are on Barth’s farm at Cambridge with their grandparents. Do you ever hear from Jody Rayburn? I wonder where she is now? I see Kathryn Whitaker quite a lot as she is the head nurse at the Navy Hospital here. We often reminisce of the old days in C.H.S. She told me that Doris Teter is one of the candidates for the annual Miss America” contest this year. Kathryn said that Doris graduated from the Uni- versity of Nebraska and went right into profes- sional modeling. She seems to be doing quite well. I’ll try to write you sooner next time; but, as you can understand, since my promotion to Com- mander in the Waves and with two children. I’m kept pretty busy. Give my regards to your family. As always, Carolyn Pioneer Insurance Agency —11- Phone 29 Mousel Market Phone 5 CLASS PROPHECY Panama City, Florida Tyndall Air Force Base December 27. 1961 Dear Carolyn. it seems the only time we get around to writing each other is at the Christmas Season. I realize how it is with your job and family since we have three children of our own. After following Air Bases all over the U. S.. Hutch got another promo- tion and he now has a steady job here in Florida. I was glad to hear about our old classmates. Turtle surely surprised me. I got a Christmas card and leter from Jody and Darold. The R.E.A. is branching out. and Darold is now erecting poles in Alaska. They have four youngsters and seem very happy. Darold is still driving the Studebaker, but they're getting a new one because Jody says those winters up there are a little cold for a convertible. In mother’s letter last week she told me Phyllis and Bud Smith have added another son to their Smith Brothers. They recently bought a farm south of Cambridge. On our recent trip up North we went to New York. Our wedding anniversary was on October 22; and since we were in New York at the time. Marline Togs Phone 56 Cambridge we celebrated by going to the Stork Club. While Hutch was checking my coat, two girls in those terribly brief dresses came running up t me shouting my name. It was Joan Sexton and P salie Lemmon who are now cigarette girls there. Those short skirts really do things for them! I had lunch with them the next day, and they told me I lorine Leech is the sole owner of a fabulous racing stable in Kentucky. She has raised another 'Man o'War’ named ‘Sirocco’. Several months ago Joan and her husband went to the Metropolitan Opera and saw Eileen Berres who is unmarried and becoming a great success in her career. At the present time Ann Cross, now Mrs. Bud Harmon, is composing songs for the Broadway Musical Nebraska’’ and raising little Harmons in Harmony. I’m surprised you haven’t seen Phyllis Arnold Brooks in Los Angeles. She’s been living there in the Traveling Homes Trailer Court for nearly a year now. Gib is still in the Navy. Well, Hon. I guess that’s about all the news and the baby just woke up so I’ll close for now. Love to you all.

FOOTBALL The Trojans finished the 1950 football season successfully by winning all but one game. The split T was used this year for the first time in Cambridge and proved very successful. Cambridge rolled up 248 points against their op- ponents while 108 points were scored against Cambridge. This year for the first time in many years there was only one senior playing football. The senior, Carl Johnson, co-captain, was chosen as end on the Class C all-state fiotball team. This year for the first time in many years there was only one senior playing football. The senior. Carl Johnson, co-captain, was chosen as end on the Class C all-state football team. Phil Kester. also co-captain, suffered a broken leg during the last few minutes of the Alma game, the season’s closer. In the past four years the Cambridge Trojans have lost two games, one to Minden, a class B school and the other to Oxford, R.V.L. champs. They have tied two games and have won thirty six. which is an outstanding record. A lot of spirit and a well coached team plus an abundance of intestinal fortitude brought honor to C.H.S. this fall. % 4----- —23— FOOTBALL ---------------------.+ A) 14 Cambridge vs Benkelman 0 V j 21 Cambridge vs Trenton 12 L 12 Cambridge vs Oxford 19 VnJ 40 Cambridge vs Beaver City 19 w 27 Cambridge vs Culbertson 6 vV 34 Cambridge .vs Franklin 7 W 20 Cambridge vs El wood 13 w 13 Cambridge vs St. Cecilia (Hastings) 7 rJ 42 Cambridge vs Arapahoe 19 rsJ 25 Cambridge vs Alma 6 The squad consisted of twenty three boys.
