R5 'X Dedication This year the students of C.C.H.S. honor a person about whom there is no question as to his merit in deserving an honor long overdue. The name of Mr. Raymond W. Johnson, Johnnie to many of his friends, has become synonomous with that of Cambridge High School. For a number of years, on the athletic field and in the classrooms he has by his daily actions, exemplified the true meaning of school spirit and has come to be respected by us all for his unfailing interest and capable assistance in all student affairs. More words could be said, but none that can more aptly express the students' feeling of gratitude toward Mr. Johnson for all he has given to our school. The Viking Staff of 1953-54 takes deep pride in dedicating this annual to Mr. Raymond W. Johnson, our teacher of mathematics. 5 5 'B ,g '- J Q as 4' all .v,.5gew1.zz as is ' 4 4? mia K, wan wh aw N1 -w 9 iq ig g. Q W az, 0 ' Q W L,.g V. . . Wm 3 .. , s . , W A 5 ' U ' 2 I ' Ni W ., , ,.

The trophy case in the lobby is one of the first sights which greet a person when he enters the school building through the front door. lt is a place of beauty and interest, and as one gazes upon the symbols of victory and honor to the teams and individuals of C.H.S. in the years gone by, he is filled with a sense of pride in the accomplishments that spirit and fortitude have produced. 8 , R The noon lunch line is one of the scenes that varies little during the year. waiting in line is important, for, after all, there's food at the forefront. 9 But who can deny that the After the noon meal comes a period of midddy relaxation for the students, many of whom congregate in the main hall or gym to discuss the day's events or to buy the savings stamps that are sold every Tuesday by the Student Council. The line-up of boys and girls sitting on the gym bleachers might very easily be nicknamed gossipers' row, because there the talk flies fast and furious, while out on the basketball floor the students engage in various phases of athletic activity. I0 'Zh' A familiar task to all students is that of being a committee member. It may involve a conventional meeting between two or more students, or it may be a new type, the luncheon meeting, which has been put into effect to relieve the crowded schedule. At either of these meetings the discussions, plans and new ideas for school activities, such as programs and proiects, are formulated. Here, also, develop some of our best arguments. ll Gj.,,,,...Q-sw-xx The entire student body may meet in assembly for important announcements, conferring of honors, and sometimes to view professional performances. The most recently innovated occasion is the assembly held at the end of every six weeks period for the purpose of reviewing the six weeks grades, attendance, and recognizing the honor students. I2 -qt Every school has its favorite meeting place where students congregate after school hours, games, meetings, and performances. There the news of the day, the forthcoming events, and the hottest gossip items are well discussed. A secondary purpose for such a session is explained by the established fact that it is very difficult for a student to survive on an empty stomach. I3 X iff -. . my 1 7 I. X K Xikikw . XM . .

The modern school teacher must, for these reasons, possess more than the ability to impart knowledge by question and answer. ln fact, he must be a combination of instructor, adviser, and friend. All teachers should have a sense of humor, infinite patience, common sense, intelligence, tolerance, and a host of other virtues. We students of C.C.H.S. believe that the members of our faculty possess these characteristics, and we wish to take this way of telling them that we do appreciate what they are doing for us. ...Q-fig- S i Eugene Anthony B.S. Northern Illinois State Teachers College Mr. Eugene Anthony is in charge of our music department in his first year at C.C.H.S. He instructs the boys' chorus, the two sections of girls' chorus, and directs the band. He gives every member of the band weekly, personal instruction. This instruction also includes the beginners in grade school. One of Mr. Anthony's moments of satisfaction during the year was the Christmas program, on which he worked long and hard to make it the success it was. 1 fl Warren T. Page B. E. Western State Teachers College M. S. University of lllinois Mr. Page is our new principal. As our former coach and social studies teacher, he has retained only his modern problems class. But he also sponsors the Student Council and the National Honor Society. Upon accepting his new position, he brought with him several changes, such as the new nine-period school day, the homeroom, and the six- weeks review assembly. f is . 3, . ' l,'f t S ' 7'-x l James Doyle B.S. Illinois Normal University Mr. Doyle divides his time between the high school and the grade school. He starts the day at C.C.H.S. with his manual arts class and then goes to the grades, where he has charge of the boys' physical education classes. After the regular school hours are over, he returns to the high school and assumes the duties of assistant coach to Mr. Smith. Raymond Johnson B.S. University of Iowa Math! Thot's Mr. Johnson's forte. His subiects are practical math, geometry, and algebra. But, he's a blessing to the busy juniors, who have him as their sponsor. What with the class play and the prom to promote, it's reassuring to have someone with Mr. Johnson's ability around. The spring gym show also received some of his talent as he trained the girls' drill team. 'wg -1-l.l..i. , 1 Nina Fox B.S. Illinois State Normal University Solve! That's the appropriate greeting when you meet Miss Fox, for Latin is one of her classes. She also teaches English and is in charge of the library, where she has done a fine iob in making its facilities better for all who use it. In addition she sponsors dromatics. Needless to say, the school plays and the iunior class play consume many after-school hours. . ............,....,,... si, Mae Miller B.S. Illinois State Normal University One can be fairly certain where to find Miss Miller during the day. As our teacher of Home Economics, she is surrounded by work in her room. But such activity as one finds there is made all the more enioyable by the attractive laboratory, equipped with some of the most modern furnishings to be found in any Home Ec classroom. Miss Miller also assumes the duties of co-sponsoring the sophomore class and quite appropriately, the F.H.A. organization. ,as - fp- hind iypswfef Q, ff' .5 3 Barbara Maras B. E. Illinois State Normal University Miss Maras is our instructor in commercial courses at Cambridge High School. Her special classes are typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and office practice. During the past few years she has found that the typing courses are attracting quite a few of the students, although the subiects are not becoming any easier, one can be sure of that. As senior class co-sponsor she is looked upon to answer many of the questions, large and small, that arise. m-M, 18 Charles Moore B. S. V. O. V. University of Illinois Mr. Moore teaches our agriculture classes. Because this community is principally agri- cultural, the ag courses, as they are commonly known, assume a role of large importance. In connection with his classes, Mr. Moore sponsors the F.F.A., an always-busy organization. The sophomores claim him as co-sponsor for their class. Roylene Peterson B. A. Monmouth College Miss Peterson is teacher of world history and girls' physical education. The P.E. classes are her special interest, and most of her duties are centered about that course. She has charge of both the high school and grade school girls' P. E. instruction and sponsors the G.A.A. In her classes the girls are given instruction in almost every sport available for feminine participation. Each year she puts on a physical education show in collaboration with Mr. Smith and his boys' classes. There the girls show their ability to tumble, jump rope, perform various folk dances, and do numerous other stunts. 49?-f--- Elisabeth Westerlund B.A. University of Illinois The head of our English department is Miss Westerlund, who teaches all four years of that subiect. She sponsors two organizations, the Maroon and White, the members of which write the high school news for the Chronicle, and the Viking staff, which edits this book. She has incorporated into her classes devices which give her students pleasure as well as knowledge. Typical of such are the foreign pen pal idea and the formation of book clubs, by which the students order inexpensive books of their own choosing. xr. Albert Smith B.S. Northern Illinois State Teachers College Mr. Smith, better known as Coach, teaches both American and world history. His other duties are high school boys' P.E., sponsor of the Varsity Club, senior class co-sponsor, and head coach of all boys' varsity athletics. Mr. Smith is one of the most popular teachers in school, not only with the boys, but also with the girls, who are reported to be keeping a record of how many suits he has. Mrs. Loretta Scflumaker, R. N. School Nurse Mrs. Schumaker, our school nurse, plays a part in our school program which is inconspicuous, but nevertheless, one of extreme importance, Her primary work deals with planning and carrying out a well-balanced health program, which serves to keep the students' health standard at a high level. The local doctors co-operate each year by administering various tests and iniections to those in need of, or desiring them. Mrs. Schumaker serves both the grade and the high school and conducts a home nursing course in the latter. A J. R. Young B.S. Northwestern University M. S. DePaul University Mr. Young, our instructor in general science, biology, and chemistry classes, keeps busy in his laboratory. In addition to his class duties, he serves as sponsor for the freshman class, the Proiection Club, the P.C.B. Science Club, and the Freshman Wizards Science Club. These activities turn his room into a beehive of industry during the day, as enterprising young scientists scurry to and fro with proiect work and class problems. Mrs. Mamie Johnson Mrs. Rose Echelberger School Cooks In the kitchen are our two excellent cooks, Mrs. Mamie Johnson and Mrs. Rose Echelberger, who so ably prepare and serve our wholesome noon meals. Remember those delicious Thanks- giving and Christmas turkey dinners they set before us? Not only are they efficient cooks, but they are our friends as well, never failing to give us a cheerful hello, as we pass through their kitchen. D D7 Mrs. Betty Dimick School Secretary Here we see Mrs. Dimick, or Betty, as most of the students call her. ln her role as school secretary, she makes the office a friendly place for all who enter, whether it be for advice, aid, or other personal problems. Betty also has that virtue of remembering everyone, freshman and senior alike, as anyone who has had a birthday and has found a greeting card hanging in his locker, will tell you. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cousins Mrs. Elmer Danielson School Custodians Our new and modern high school is a very attractive building. One of the prime reasons for its uniform state of cleanliness and beauty is the result of the effort expended by our team of custodians, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cousins and Mrs. Elmer Danielson. Many compliments from visitors at the high school are heard concerning the fine condition of the building and these reflect favorably on those who have charge of it. In addition, Frank, Mrs. Cousins, and Mrs. Danielson are three very pleasant and accommodating persons in relationship to both the students and teachers. Carl Lindstrom Perry Leander LaVerne Peterson Harvey Van Dyck I Duane Tomlinson Everett Palmer Andy Johnson Bus Drivers Here are some men upon whom our school unit is greatly dependent. They are the bus drivers, whose duty it is to transport the students to and from school in a safe, efficient manner. Their fine record of performance proves that they are fully aware of the responsibility which rests upon them. 21 Board of Education The Board of Education is made up of six conscientious, unsalaried citizens. These six persons are asked to assume many responsibilities, and too often their service to the school and the community is forgotten. Therefore, we of C.C.H.S. wish to express our gratitude to our Board of Education, and incidentally, endeavor to show you who are not so closely connected with school activities something of the varied and numerous duties of these faithful men. They must, first of all, secure the services of the best available teachers, custodians, cooks, secretary, and bus drivers. They have at all times the welfare of each student in mind when they generously make possible the purchase of such modern teaching aids as the opaque proiector, tape recorders, reading accelerator, record players, proiectors, cameras, films, and movies, all of which make the learning process easier and more pleasant. Another proiect recently undertaken by the Board was the oiling and surfacing of our spacious parking lot so that it may be used in all kinds of weather. The foregoing are only a few of the contributions made by our Board of Education and do not include the long hours they spend on the routine business that running a school involves. 22 Executive Staff S 1 L 'T Mary May ..,............................,.......... 7.

The annual Viking Carnival was a big success this year as the receipts were larger than ever before. This was also a great honor to our class as most of the plans and committees were headed by senior personnel. lt was even more gratifying to us because our candidates, Eugene Lundberg and Janifer Engquist, were crowned King and Queen. Finishing off our high school social life is the Prom, something every upperclassman anticipates. The end of the year is also accompanied by the graduation festivities, which in some cases tend to cause us a pang of sadness at leaving the scene of so many of our pleasant memories. However, we must look forward to the future, for that is where our destiny lies. 26 fBelowj King and queen of the Jeffers and Eileen Naslund, from their royal throne. is ' i' :L'f,f'.

Although we did not sponsor any maior proiects such as a class play or the Prom, many small yet important things had to be taken care of. Throughout the year we were reminded by the efficient manner in which our class business was carried on that our officers had been wisely chosen. ln order to publicize C.C.H.S. somewhat and also to bolster up our class funds, we sold bracelets and tie clasps, on which were displayed the name or initials of our school. The sales really boomed and kept Bill and Mary, two of our class officers, busy. On a Saturday night in February the seniors held theirannualchili supper: All you can eat for 50qt. Most of us had never seen so muchchili. lnall these proiects we had the expert advice and help of Miss Maras and Mr. Smith, our sponsors. When home- coming time ap- roached, our class took the leading roles. Chosen as King and Queen of the festivities were Kenneth Jeffers Homecoming, Kenneth watch the festivities .4-ef' Donald L.

In the fall, after the completion of our Illinois statewide tests, we even found out how smart f?j some of us are. Next came the Homecoming, where our iunior attendants were Donna Smith and Roger Echelberger. Then came the Carnival, in what seemed such a short time after Homecoming, with moun- tains of work for everyone, plus the fact that everyone was busy selling queen votes. The evening of the carnival parade brought forth our float upon which rode our king and queen candidates, Paul Moon and Eileen Robinson.

The results of our hard work were revealed as we came out of it with a record-breaking carnival at which we cleared over one thousand dollars. From then on, up until the class play in April, events are not so numerous. But that lull ends in April when play practice takes over. The class play is the iunior cIass's money-raising project and covers their expenses for the annual Junior-Senior Prom, which the juniors sponsor for the entertainment of the seniors. In fact, the Prom is the social highlight of the year for those in the two upper classes. Instead of looking back on the year with relief, rather we should J., gaze back upon it with sadness at its parting and look forward to our final year with eagerness. , 5l :'l'E,,, 'kffi s1......Ig.,J? iRightj To raise funds for putting on the prom, the iuniors ' of mn ' ' presented o three-act play, Cracked Nutts. n-Qfigtgiswf 38 Sand ra Ander son Carol Burdick Mary Buskirk John Brennan Q A K Z Gale Casteel Jerry Cox Roger Echelberger Hampton Ericson tg. ag Fir 3' Q Jim Hogg Carole Hickman ll A C in K Carol Hunter Christine liams , -if Laura Kapple I ' Jack Kenward Virgil Larson A .lim Lindquist Shirley Lundell Irwin Magerkurth Paul Moon Laverne Moore June Peterson Eileen Robinson Marilyn Robinson Bob Schieferdecker Jack Vinzant Bonnie Wiley 1' ,X as ' s.

With the help of Miss Mae Miller and Mr. Charles Moore, our class sponsors, we have been able to carry on various activities. We have added to our treasury, for instance, by operating a coat- check at our basketball games. At each game two or three members of our class work at the stand. ln this way, we are able to make enough money to help care for our freshman-sophomore Hop expenses.

We are also very proud that during the past year eleven members of our class have been elected as probationary members of the National Honor Society. The freshman-sophomore Hop is our one big social get-together. The juniors entertained us in fine style last year in an attractively decorated gymnasium. With the co-operation of the whole class, we are sure that our Hop will be equally as successful as last year's. As a group our class is unusually co-operative and talented, and we hope to carry on our reputation for those qualities in the next two years.

Freshmen This is the class of 57, perhaps not the most outstanding, but the largest class ever to enter the gates of C.C.H.S. From the night our class was graduated from grade school, we started wondering about initiation, and too soon it was upon us. What a sight were our boys wearing infant bonnets and carrying baby bottles, and our girls in P.J.'s, toting buckets. But, oh, what fun!

Wongstrom and Bob Gustafson. The night was exciting indeed. Next on our gay program was the Viking Carnival. All freshmen went to work selling king and queen tickets for our two candi- dates, .lane Walsh and Bob Telleen. The biggest social event of the year for the freshmen is the Hop. The Hop is a dance given by the sophomores for the freshmen sometime during May. On iust about any Friday night, if you should come out to high school, you will probably see some of our freshman boys playing football or basketball, with Jane Walsh as our representative cheerleader. And now as the end of the school year approaches, we are determined that we will be back next year as sophomores with newer and higher goals. fRighti Freshman initiation was full of surprises and fun as the seniors took command of the day's proceedings. 42 Karen Bros har Pat Calsyn -L Tom Beuseling 4 , ' I w 2 k an at , YJ!

The Future Farmers of America is an organization which encourages vocational agriculture as a good basis for farming, and the Cambridge chapter, under the leadership of Mr. Charles Moore, has been exceptionally active during the past year in promoting such activities. For the first time, delegates were sent to the F.F.A. National Convention in Kansas City Missouri. ln the fall, a tractor rodeo was conducted with the assistance of several ofthe boys' fathers. This contest scored the skill of the boys in the knowledge and maneuverability of tractors and promoted safety practices in the operation of farm vehicles. Then, too, the boys kept busy with money- raising proiects, among which were: selling popcorn at the home football and basketball games, picking up corn for some ofthe local farmers, and conducting a paper drive.

Many were the activities and proiects carried out by the chapter in the past year under the sponsorship of Miss Mae Miller. Among the first was the F.H.A.-F.F.A. Family Night, held on October 7, when a potluck supper was held by the members and their families, followed by a program featuring guest speakers. Soon the girls started a project whereby they sent skirts, slippers, doll clothes and stufifed toys of their own making to foreign countries. The Christmas season came, and the girls went out caroling. As a climax to the festive period a Smorgasbord was served bythe Freshman Homemakers, preceding the Christmas pageant on December 20. For the hard work they expended in preparing and serving to their families foods of Swedish origin, the girls received many compliments. January saw the students sponsoring an all-school party following a basketball game. But perhaps the most important event ofthe year came on March l5, when the F.H.A. and the F.F.A. joined in their efforts to present the March P.T.A. program. Their presentation was based on the television show You Asked for ltl, and was followed by a question and answer period. The purpose of the local chapters was to make known to the parents what the organizations stand for and what their goals are. Leftj Here we see tha ,fly ,jig ,I reshman girls wrapping T!

This tree was later moved into the gym for the wonderful Christmas party sponsored by the society. i 1 Consisting of the outstanding members of our student body who maintain a minimum scholastic average of 88, the National Honor Society is one of our most important organizations. Its group activities are somewhat limited because of its purposes, which are to encourage leader- ship, character, service and good scholastic standing, the attainment of which are dependent upon the individual efforts ot its members. The society sponsored the school Christmas party, which was held in a very attractively decorated gym. Perhaps the large attendance at the party had something to do with the fact that the Christmas gift exchange was also held then and that mistletoe was present in plentiful quantity. -s 1 ii L Mr. Warren Page, sponsor, Jack Kenward, vice president Mary May president Seated left to right Barbara Arnstedt N at THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

The projects carried out by the students are of a varied nature and play a most important part in the club's activi- ties. Evidence of this was given at the April P.T.A. meeting at which the Science Club presented the program. Because the district music contest was held on the some day as the district science contest, the club was not able to exhibit. This was a disappointment to some high hopes because in the previous year's contest our only two exhibited projects both received first place awards and were advanced to state competition. fAbovej In case you didn't know, this is a photo of a fly's leg under a microscope.

The winter months saw the spotlight center on bowling, and as time went on, the scores went up as the girls took over even the pinsetting chores. Also in the course of study was basketball, and in February the class tournament was held. The freshmen took first place, the sophomores captured second, and the seniors copped third.

Here one finds choice tidbits of news and observations from about the school in general.

FRESHMAN NEWS by Karen Broshar Hi, everyone- Our Freshman Wiz- zards club took a trip Saturday and I just have to tell you about it. We ran a very close schedule all day long. Leaving Cambridge at 7:30 a. m. we arrived at the Moline Air- port about 8:30. Whlle there, we saw three large planes come ln. After that we toured the Moline Water- works, where we saw fas one student statedj more swimming pools than one would and in Hollywood leach 20 feet deepl. They're rather muddy though. Student Council The Student Council in its role as governing body of our high l school strives to create harmony and better understanding between the students, faculty and ad- ministration. Many problems that tall within the power of the council are taken care of in a very efticient and conscientious manner, thus saving the teachers and the principal much time and effort. The thirteen members ot Port ofthe Homecoming festivities sponsored by the Student Council. the Touncil consist of four Class presidents and four class repre- sentatives chosen by their respective classes, also, two representatives-at-large, the council president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer, who are chosen at the otticial, all-school election. Serving as the link between the students and the administration is Mr. Page, our principal and council sponsor. The council, which is probably the most active of all our organizations, assumes the responsibility of sponsoring such activities as the fall Homecoming festivities, all-school elections, pep sessions, and the publication ofa Newsletter every six weeks, which is sent to alumnae in college and in the services. ln the spring comes the combined student-government and work-day. ln the morn-ing the seniors take over the positions of the teachers and the principal, all of whom have a day which they spend in visiting other schools. ln the afternoon the council directs the work-day activities, which are carried on throughout the town. The proceeds go toward our proiect's goal, such as American and school Flags, flag poles, pictures for the classrooms, and various others. The results prove without a doubt that the student body has leaders and personnel fully capable of success- fully completing the tasks that come their way. 55' 'X fi ,, W iw s THE STUDENT COUNCIL- fSeotedj Vero Nlmrick, Marilyn Robinson, Barbara Johnston, secretary-treasurer, Janet Reilly, president, Mr. Page, sponsor, Sandra Anderson, vice-president, Chris Iiams, representative-at-large, Janifer Engquist, Cyn- thia Wongstrom. iStandingi Bill Stephens, Jock Johnson, representative-at-large, Jack Kenward, Roger Stephens, Jack Down. 63 After giving a marching exhibition during the half-time of each home football game, the highlight of the year came for the marching band when they took part in the huge homecoming parade at Western Illinois State Teachers College in Macomb. Preceding the Viking band in the three mile parade was the new Cambridge High School flag. Here is the new Viking school Hag on display for the first time in public. It is being carried in the Macomb parade, preceding the Viking bond. A bird's eye view of the C.C.H.S. marching bond. The band, in charge ot Mr. Eugene Anthony, also gave two very fine local concerts when they collaborated with the chorus in presenting the Christmas and spring programs. Besides entering the district music contest, the band also took part in the Cornbelt Conference Band Concert at Orion, where the massed bands gave an excellent program and provided each participant with a great experience. fRightj Even Mr. Anthony gets the chance to march three miles. 64 -6 u .. c o U o c Q -U. . u 3 r: 0 Z :- 2 U -I .E T: U :- .. . o .I C. o U 9 o I .E -3 ai I D U C U V, 0 U is 0 'I J 'u o 0- 0 C .. 4 : o M o .c va U. .a E o U .2 'c 1 I-Ll C. o Q sv c .: o -1 u b u .a . u Q A I o L 0 I L ll. ci Z 4 0 O Z Z P IU I I' ci E o .c U V1 o o 7 mx E o UI ': .C U .r 'U 0 O' VI C .. 4 U ..

During the past several years the choruses have played a very important role in the school entertainment program. This last year under their new director, the choruses have main- tained their newly acquired high level. One of the outstanding events was the Christmas pageant, jointly presented by the band and chorus. The pageant was enacted on the high school stage with a huge book as the center of attention. Out of this book appeared Christmas scenes from other lands, each of which was accompanied by an appropriate choral number. E A A similar production-like concert is presented in the spring, in addition to competition in the district music contest. Also -- in April the Cambridge school acts as host for the Cornbelt Conference Chorus Festival, at which all the conference schools combine their choruses for a mass concert.

This Go-Round, as it is called, serves the purpose of a pre-season warm-up. In it there were four games, each lasting a quarter. The first quarter saw the Vikings pitted against Orion with the latter winning 6-0. In the second quarter it was Sherrard over Atkinson by a slim one point, 7-6. In the third quarter the two previous losers played, with Atkinson defeating the Vikings by a scare of I3-0. The last quarter between Orion and Sherrard ended in a 0-0 tie when the game was rained out after only two minutes of play were completed. ALWOOD ln the first conference game of the season the Vikings lost to a strong Alwood eleven as both teams played good hard ball. The Vikings' only score was a 55 yard run by Captain Jack Johnson in the third quarter. The final score was I3-6. ATKINSON The Cambridge team were in high spirits as they held the heavily favored Atkinson Tigers to a 6-6 tie. Having greatly improved from the last game, the defense held for three quarters before the Tigers broke the ice and scored in the final period. The Viking touchdown again came, through the running 'of Jack Johnson on a 50 yard off-tackle smash. REYNOLDS The Vikings stormed over Reynolds for their first conference win by a score of I3-2. The first touchdown came on a pass from quarterback Brennan to Johnson, -who hauled it the distance, the play using up 55 yards. Bill Nelson drove over for the conversion. The following score came in the second quarter on another pass, this time from Brennan to Paul Moon. The Viking offense could get only four first downs, but the passing attack clicked for 8 completions out of I5 attempts.

They outplayed the larger Orion team by recovering three fumbles and getting three first downs, more than they could get the rest of the night. But the Vikings looked exhausted as they made two serious blunders in the second quarter with Orion scoring on both. The Chargers tallied again in each of the final quarters, with the final score standing at 26-0. WINOLA Every member of the Cambridge team tried hard to come through for the Homecoming crowd, but the effort failed by a score of I4-0. The two bright spots in the game were provided by the pass defense, which intercepted three of WinoIa's eight attempts through the air, and the other by the running of Captain Johnson, the leading ground gainer. The Vikings rolled up six first downs to WinoIa's eleven and completed 4 out of I2 passes. SHERRARD Again the Vikings went into a game with big odds against them. Sherrard had lost only one contest, that to Orion by seven points. Although possibly sensing defeat from the start, the Vikings fought gamely, and the defense held the Tigers to thirteen points, but the offense could not click when it moved into scoring position. Cambridge played well, although partially minus the services of Johnson, who suffered from a previously incurred knee iniury that kept him out of the offensive lineup most of the first half. The final score saw Sherrard on the long end of a I3-0 count. WILLIAMSFIELD The Cambridge Vikings were upset by a score of I3-6 in the final game of the season. Williams- field scored on a 35 yard run in the first quarter, but the Vikings fought back to tie the score at 6-6 by way of air. The pass went from quarter- back John Brennan to fullback Johnson on a play covering 15 yards. The home team's defense held then till the start of the final stanza when the Billtowners scored again. The Vikings were fighting to recover from the blow when time ran out. MURE ACTION! flefti Vikings move in for the tackle.

The Viking squad consists of Captain Bob Schieferdecker, Jack Johnson, and Jack Kenward, all lettermen from last year. To finish the roster are Paul Moon, John Brennan, Bill Nelson, Eugene Lundburg, Bill Stephens, Roger Echelberger, Kenneth Jeffers, Bob Gustafson, and Will Moden, the latter two being freshmen who ioined the varsity later in the season. We proceeded to pile' up a 4-4 slate before starting the Geneseo four-team tournament. Playing listless ball, we fell before Geneseo and Kewanee in that order. Cornbelt tournament time came again, and we drewwilliamsfield in thefirst round. After defeating them, we moved against Orion and lost as the Chargers went on to take the tourney. But, sum- moning all our resources, we came back to topple a strong Atkinson five for third-place honors. With a 5-6 finish we completed scheduled play and wound up in a fourth-place tie in the confer- ence with a 7-7 record. Corpus Christi was a heavy favorite in our opener in the Galesburg regional, but that team got a big surprise as we fought our way to a 13 point lead in the third period. The Friars recovered from the deficit to win by 71-65 and show why they were to be the regional winners.

The i953 Homecoming was a gala three-day affair. Starting on Thursday, October 22,with a huge evening pep rally, we prepared for the following night's football game. The rally was held on the hill to the southwest of the school, where the large bonfire was the center of attraction, and pep talks were given by the coaches, the captain, and various students. From there we proceeded uptown, where a snake dance and cheering took place. Festivities resumed the next night with the Cambridge-Winola game. Although the Vikings experienced defeat by a i3-0 score, the program which followed in the gym was a great success. The big dance, open to the public with a special welcome to alumnoe, was climaxed by the crowning of the homecoming king and queen.

The flag was bought with funds from last spring's Work Day and selected by the student body in a vote with other possible proiects. It was designed by Joyce Anderson, a 1953 graduate, whose design was entered with those of other students and was selected by the students as their choice. Superintendent Warren Page introduced the program, whereupon he congratulated the student body for their efforts and spirit in carrying out such a fine project. Following the pledge to the flag led by Don Sheesley, a summary of the project was given by Jack Johnson, chairman of the flag committee, who then introduced Joyce Anderson, the designer. County Superintendent of Schools, Arthur White, was the main speaker. He pointed out that a f1ag is an emblem which can be blemished by thoughtless or harmful acts ofthe students or can become elevated to something fine and beautiful by the right kind of school spirit. Instead of adopting an attitude of What is there in it for me? he urged the students to adopt What is in me for it? as their guiding principle. Janet Reilly, Student Council president, then dedicated the flag with the following words: FLAG DEDICATION CEREMONY PARTICIPANTS. Left to right-flower rowj Mr. Arthur White, Mr. Warren Page. QUpper rowj Joyce Anderson, Janet Reilly, Jack Johnson. 88 We dedicate this flag to all true and loyal Vikings, those who have gone betore, those who are present, and those who are to follow. May we always be proud of our flag as a symbol of the high ideals and standards of Cambridge high school. May we never be guilty of any action that will serve to tarnish these standards, remembering always that our school will be iudged by the actions of those of us who follow this flag. Our standards are best exemplified by our Viking Creed. Therefore as token of our loyalty and our acceptance of this Hag, let us stand and recite our creed in unison. The Viking Creed, which has been adopted by the school, was then recited by the student body. We, the students of Cambridge High School, in preparation for our position as citizens of tomorrow's world dedicate ourselves to the following purposes: fl, To co-operate with fellow students, faculty, and the community. QD To respect property and the rights of others. l3, To be a loyal Viking fan or player, thus showing good sportsmanship, accepting referee's decisions, and representing our school in the best manner. QU To accept responsibility. 151 To be courteous and honest. Q65 To show initiative at all times. This was the scene as Jack Johnson introduced Joyce Anderson, the designer of the flag being displayed here. 89 County Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Arthur White, gave the main speech. Carnival fAbovel Gale Casteel, Joyce Nelson, and Norine Grant are shown at the country store booth, where articles of both food and home handicrafts are for sale. The i953 Viking Carnival was proclaimed in a brilliant array of color. To highlight the opening of the carnival, the annual parade proved to be bigger and better than ever before. With high expectations, the students worked diligently toward making the carnival a huge success. The results were overwhelming. Over one thousand dollars was made during the one evening in which the carnival was held. This was more than enough to publish the school yearbook. The main attraction ofthe evening came with the crowning ofthe king and queen. The senior candidates, Janifer Engquist and Eugene Lund- burg, were the lucky two selected to reign over the festivities. After a highly entertaining program, the concessions continued to remain open until nearly midnight. At that time the success of the carnival was evident. Although the students were responsible for the carnival's presentation, we must remember that it could not have been possible without the wholehearted patronage of the public and the generous assistance of Mr. J. R. Young. fAbovej Here's the old gobbler in his pen at the turkey raffle booth, while Roger Martin, Bob Telleen, and Willis Bredburg look for customers.

Christmas pageant was presented under the direction of Mr. Eugene Anthony onthe night of December 20 in the high school gym. The evening was begun by an inspiring half-hour concert presented by the band. After a brief intermission the program entitled Carols and Customs began. The production's center of attraction was a huge book entitled Carols and Customs, out of which came the various persons who portrayed a scene. The show had fifteen of these scenes. The theme ran as follows: a young girl received the book from her grandmother as a Christmas present. After starting to read it, she soon fell asleep. In a moment her fairy godmother appeared at her side and with a wave of her magic wand produced the scenes which came forth when a pair of elves opened the huge book. Each tab- leau represented a Christmas scene in a foreign country and was accompanied by an appropriate choral number. fBelowj Cynthia Wongstrom, seated, and Suzanne Vinckel, two of the pageant's main characters. fBelow?

But these two occasions are a climax of the year's social calendar and are a definite part of our school curricula. Hence we wish to present the T953 Prom and Hop. Time: 8 P.M., May 15, 1953. Place: High School Gymnasium. Occasion: Freshman-Sophomore Hop. Hosts: The Sophomores. Guests: The Freshmen. That was the billing for the 1953 Hop which was centered around Peter Pan and his Never-Never Land as a theme. The attractive decorations dominated by the figure of Peter Pan in the center ofthe dance floor added to the atmosphere of fun and enjoyment. Such was the scene for the T953 Freshman-Sophomore Hop. ixf v 1 i 97 .lunior-Senior Prom Bruce Kelly and Helma lngelson, king and queen of Dancing on the Showboot. the Prom, watch the proceedings from their seat of honor. The Showboat was tied to the dock and her gangplanks were down. The time was 6:30 P .M., May 22, l953, and the Junior-Senior Prom was about to begin. The gala festivities with the showboat theme were planned and carried out by the junior class for their honored guests, the seniors, and were held in the high school gymnasium. The evening was initiated by a wonderful banquet followed by a brief program. But everyone was waiting for the moment when he would cross the gangplank and step upon the Showboat, where he and his partner could dance to the lilting music of the band. Soon against a backdrop of a Southern plantation scene, Bruce Kelly and Helma lngelson were crowned king and queen of the l953 Prom by Clara Evans and Bill Stephens, junior class ofzficers. But soon the time came for the hosts to haul up the gangplank, loosen the mooring, and dim the lights on the Showboat, which would soon be only a memory for the juniors and seniors.
