Mrs. Poush traveled with us through the first year of our journey and then turned us over to Miss Thorndike for the second year. In the third year of our travels, directed by Miss Hodges, two of our classmates, Flossie Thompson and Donna Rauch left us, but we were joined by three more: Donna Kelly. Patricia Ellis, and Caroline O’Brien. In the fourth year of our journey. Mrs. Zwink was our guide, and we were joined by Don Harpst, Jr. The fifth year of our travels was under the guidance of Mrs. Zwink and Miss Hopping, and had the addition of Diane Whit- aker to our class. We soon passed on to Jr. High, where we were joined in our travels by Omar “Bud” Ford. Donna Rauch, Phyllis Kubik, Dick Brown. Phyllis Foster, Shaila Rosenfield and Flossie Thompson. Our escorts through the three years of Jr. High were Miss Benedict. Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Minnick. Mr. Newcomb and Mr. Meininger. Finally, we came to our freshman year in high school. Of course the main events of that year were the freshman initiation and mixer, and our very first pep club banquet. We elected class officers for the first time. also, and Bud Ford became our guide for the year, with Phil Kester for his assistant, and Charlene Wolfe tak- ing care of the minutes and money matters. We had many new students this year — Larry Kes- ter, Jim Spiegel. La Verne “Pete” Petersen. Wayne Allen, Gale Allen. Glenn Rupp. Richard Ovendon. Bob Eubanks. Naoma Max, Joyce ten Bensel. Yvonna Price, W. A. Gilbert. Marianne Sayer, Evelyn Wyman. Betty Copeland and Lou Ann Druse. Mr. Schwartz was our sponsor. Our sophomore year found us with new guides and some new travelers. We added Cecil Walker. Charlene Snow and Carol Conner, and lost Phyl- lis Foster and Donna Rauch. Our new president was Phil Kester. Larry Kester was vice-president and Virginia Danfield was secretary-treasurer. Donna Kelly was our student council representa- tive. Mr. Nodtvedt was our sponsor. We had a great time on this part of our journey, but soon we traveled on to our junior year. This year Mrs. Schwartzkopf and Miss Parminter were our sponsors, and they guided us carefully through the play. “Nose For News”, and our “Cinder- ella” banquet for the senior class. Our officers for this year were President Larry Kester, vice- president Bud Ford. Treasurer Dick Brown, Sec- retary Diane Whitaker, and student council rep- resentatives Phil Kester and Marianne Sayer. We lost several of our fellow travelers this year — Cecil Walker, Jim Spiegel, Bob Eubanks, Char- lene Snow, W. A. Gilbert, Charlene Wolfe and Virginia Danfield — but we gained two more — Gary Heumphreus and Marlene Shoff. At last we arrived at our last year in high school, and it began to seem like we had gotten there too soon. Our senior class guides were President Jim Jones. Vice-President Dick Brown Secretary Lou Ann Druse. Treasurer Bud Ford, Student Council Representatives Larry Kester and Carol Conner, and Sponsor Mr. Folts. We added one new member to our troop. Geraldine And- erson. and lost several more. Gale Allen. Betty Copeland. Naoma Max and Carol Conner. Through the year we attended our last high school events. The class play, the lovely banquet the juniors gave us, “sneak day”, all passed, and finally, as we received our diplomas our journey through school ended. M. C.

I'll tell you about the ones I’ve seen, and I hope you can tell me about the rest of them. Just the other day I took the kids to the circus, and you’d never guess who I saw! Wayne Allen was the strong man and Marlene Shoff and Carol Conner have a sister act on the tight- rope. Glenn Rupp drove me home in his taxi. He has become famous as one of New York’s rustic, philosopher-cab driver. Donnie Harpst recently realized his life-long dream of taking over the “New York Times” and combining it with the “Sun” which he al- ready owned. Fay Ann Ridpath is running the library of Congress in Washington, D. C. now. She has really come up in the world. And she’s going with a senator - no less! A lot of our old classmates are in show- business now. I saw the premiere of “North Atlantic (successor of “South Pacific’’) last night, and Jim Jones was simply superb in his Paul Poush Phone 97 + -12- dancing role. Afterwards, my husband and I went to the “Fan-Dango” club, which is owned by — you guessed it — Pete Petersen. You knew of' course that Caroline O’Brien recently started a % singing engagement there. She’s really torchy- with that red hair of hers! Perhaps you’ve seen % Bud Ford and Larry Kester on T. V. They’ve almost replaced Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis!!! And of course you’ve heard what Gary Heum- phreus is doing now days. Just recently he was selected for Baseball’s Hall of Fame. They call him a combination of Yogi Berra and Babe Ruth! You know, it’s amazing that so many of us have ended up in New York City, isn’t it? I’d like to get out to Cambridge to see the rest of you. but my husband doesn’t get much time off; director of the New York Philharmonic Sym- phony is pretty much of a permanent job. And also of course, two-year-old triplets aren’t easy to travel with. Well, write soon, and don’t forget to tell me what the other kids are doing. Love Diane. Vernon H.

FOOTBALL For the third time in 5 years the Trojans have come through with an all victorous season. The split T was just as effective as it has proven to be in the past. Cambridge scored 310 points while their opponents were only able to score 77 points. Cambridge was awarded FIRST PLACE IN CLASS C as they downed and outfought all op- ponents easily with the exception of Benkleman. The Trojans also won the R. V. L. Crown for the 4th time in 5 years. Most of the credit for the Trojans success should be given to the two coaches, Bill Steven- son and John Pope. Without their guidance things Cambridge Locker Plant Phone 123 might have been altogether different. They urged us on when the going was the toughest. Not enough praise can be bestowed on these two men for their untiring effort. In the past 5 years the Cambridge Trojans have lost only two games and tied two. They have won a total of 46 games which is an out- standing record. Only five seniors will be lost from the squad: backs. Phil Kester, Bud Ford and Larry Kester; Tackle, Dick Brown; End, Gary Heumphreus. From the support the reserves gave the varsity last fall these positions will be amply filled. Newcomb’s Lunch Wish You the Best of Luck + —20— BENKLEMAN BEAVER CITY The Trojans defeated the Benkleman Tigers in the season’s opener. The score 31-30 had all the fans and players in near hysterics. The score was knotted 5 times before the Trojans could make the winning point. Phil Kester, Bud Ford. Herb Meininger and Pee Wee Cross figured in the Trojans scoring. Kester saw only limited action but was in long enough to pirate a Tiger pass and make a bril- liant 40 yard return for a touchdown. HIGHLIGHT . . .Pee Wee Cross’ plunge across the goal line for the deciding point. TRENTON The Cambridge Trojans scalped the Trenton Warriors by a score of 25-7. Neither side could manage to make a tally until Cambridge broke the ice via the airlanes with Ford throwing and Meininger receiving for the first score early in the second period. Trenton then matched the Trojans touchdown and led at the half 7-6. The second half was a different story with the Tro- jans coming on to the field with grim determin- ation and a will to win. HIGHLIGHT . . . Herb Meininger’s 48 yard run to set up the last tally. OXFORD Cambridge dumped Oxford by the score of 27-6. The Trojans were never pressed and thus scored at will. Meininger. Cross and Ford led the scoring for Cambridge. HIGHLIGHT . . . Herb Meininger’s 55 yard sprint on the opening play to set up the first touchdown. Thorndike’s Store Phone 2 Cambridge started the game in true fashion by running the opening kick-off back 90 yards for the opening score. From this point on the Tro- jans had the situation well in hand. The final tally stood at 34 for Cambridge and 7 for Beaver City. HIGHLIGHT . . . Phil Kester’s thrilling re- turn of the opening kick-off. CULBERTSON The Trojans handily tromped the Culbertson Bears with a rousing score of 40 to 13. Cam- bridge took command of the ball on the opening kick-off and were never bothered by the bears offensive attack. HIGHLIGHT . . . Phil Kester’s 83 yard touch- down jaunt in the closing minutes of the game. FRANKLIN The first quarter of the game found Cam- bridge making near goal line stands with Frank- lin on the offense. The Trojans pulled themselves together and marched up the field for the first T. D. From this point on it was a hard fought battle but the Trojans managed 3 touchdowns to the Flyer’s 1. thus making it 25-7. HIGHLIGHT . . . Herb Meininger’s intercep- tion of a Flyer pass and racing 25 yards for the T. D. Heating and Sheet Metal Shop Phone 125 ELYVOOD ARAPAHOE + The first half saw both undefeated class C powers driving within reach of the goals but penalties proved the main factors in the Trojans not being able to score. The half was a sea-saw battle going from one end of the field to the other, with each team making sustained drives but fizzling out near pay-dirt. The half ended in a scoreless tie. The second half presented a different outlook with the Trojans scoring on every opportunity. Phil Kester started the ball rolling by breaking away for 48 yards and the first score. The Fly- ers seemed to deflate after Kester punctured their defensive line. Cambridge w ent on to score 26 points to Elwood’s 0. HIGHLIGHT . . . Outstanding line play in the second half attributed to the Trojans vic- tory. Putting on another fine performance were Dick Brown, Bill Brown. Jim Lemmon and Jerry Peterson. ST. CECELIAS OF HASTINGS The Trojans outclassed the undefeated St. Ce- cilias Hawks 28-7. The victory was the Trojan’s 8th straight win in a row. This contest was with- out a doubt the best game the Trojans plavM all year. The score at the end of a bitterly contested first half was in favor of the Trojans. 13 to 7. The second half the Hawk’s line weakened considerably and from this point on the Trojans were in full command. HIGHLIGHT . . . Jim Lemmon’s recovery of a blocked punt and touchdown scamper. The Trojans walloped Arapahoe 34-0. Cam- bridge scored on the third play of the game and were able to score at will from then on. HIGHLIGHT . . . Pee Wee Cross’ run of 31 yards followed by another of 14 yards with Bud Ford driving across from 4 yards out. ALMA The Trojans clinched the R. V. L. Crown for the fourth time in five years by defeating the Alma Cardinals 40-0. The game was played on a cold ?nd windy afternoon. Pee Wee Cross. Phil Kester and Dick Moore all aided in the scoring with three touch- downs for Cross, two for Kester and one tally for Moore. HIGHLIGHTS . . . Pee Wee Cross’ 3 touch- down runs and several other long jaunts.

BASKETBALL THE Trojan quintet has had a very success- ful season so far although the season has only begun. From all indications they should com- plete the season in winning form. Although they have won only 4 of their 8 starts they have shown that they are capable of giving any team a highly contested battle. TR There are 9 returning lettermen in track this year. They are Kenneth Cross, Bud Ford. Jerry Petersen, Jim Lemmon. Norman Thompson, Herb Meininger, Larry Kester, Phil Kester and Gary Heumphreus. At the opening day of practice 17 boys re- ported for basketball, of the 17 boys there are now 16 boys still out. Practices have been hamp- ered by the fact the new gym has not been completed. Here’s hoping that Coach John Pope’s Trojans can finish the season in the winning column. ACK Darrel Hansen, Sam Perdue and Bill Flint have proven their ability as future track stars. It is hard to judge the team before their first track meet but I am sure they will come through with a record to be proud of. + ♦ —23— ♦ “STATE CHAMPS” Larry Kester gains eight yards — Culbertson Meininger sets sail — Oxford LEFT — Thrill of a lifetime.

While all this was going on Buddy and Betty, the youngsters of the family, had a ”big fight” going on In the garage. Ma and Pa knew nothing of it and it was later broken up by the police. leaving things unaccounted for. All ended well for Tony and Barbara; Sally and Dick, but Pa found out about Buddie, the pug- ilist. and his fight by a circular! The curtain fell with Pa going up the stairs after Buddie and Ma tailing trying to excuse Buddie’s action.

Bud Ford, secretary, and Gary Heumphreus as treasurer. There were eleven new lettermen making the present number enrolled thirty-two. The Lettermen sponsored the half-time fes- tivities during the home-coming game with St. Cecelias. Marianne Sayer with attendants, Lou Ann Druse and Donna Kelly were chosen through popular vote by the Lettermen. The sum of $10.00 was sent to the World Herald Good Fellows, of Omaha, for underpriv- ileged families in Omaha. The money helps to provide toys and food. Lettermen of 1951-52 drew up a new consti- tution which will apply to students of 1951-1952 and thereafter. Initiation was awaited by all Let- termen. This is the greatest feature of the or- ganization, and of course it happened again. Those who have a letter can be proud to have earned the “C” in Orange and Black. P. W.
