HOTTENTOT BANQUET AT COUNTRY CLUB First in History of Organization Because of the extraordinarily fine work done by both the Junior and Senior staffs of the Hottentot, it was suggested that a dinner dance be given them at the Country Club. This sug- gestion was unanimously favorable. And so-o-o IfVe started to arrive at Miss Dunn's house at 6:30 and kept coming like cats going to heaven, one at a time. About 7:00 every one was present and so we started. VVe hit the club house some where around! 7:10 and after a little confu- sion entered the porch. This is where we were welcomed by a short but fine speech by Donald Matthews. Having been made at home. everyone was seated and the dinner was served. The menu was as follows: chicken a la king, peas, carrots, potatoes, iced tea, rolls, ice cream and cake, but with the cool breeze from the river giving zest to my appetite it tasted like nectar to me. I don't know whether it,was the food, the sea breeze or the bantering wit that fiowed around the table, but anyway before long everyone was singing CPD and we almost raised the roof. After the singing died out we were treated to an excellent speech by Pro- fessor Koch and then by various staff members, telling jokes on other mem- bers. And did Jimmie Merrick burn Donald Matthews up? The party again broke into songs. Having freshened ourselves by these songs, we heard another speech, this one by James Merrick. Someone be- side me, quoting Scaramouche, said, He has a dangerous gift of eloquence. The party turned to a bigger rein and again jokes were told on each other. Vllhen this source of amusement was over, we filed into the ball room and danced. Snap shot after a long dance: Bill Wells: Some dance, His partner: Yeah. and some don't. -gi. How to Keep Awake in School finds it very difficult to keep in school, especially after a hard night. But I have been sleepy so much that now I have developed keeping awake down to the finest point. Qne of the best methods I have developed is the method of pinching myself at spaced intervals. Another method is having someone sit behind one and gently but forcefully prod one in a tender spot whenever one begins to doze. A lesser used method is getting one's One awake THE HOTTENTOT Page Nine -ozonxoxuxoizr1o1oioio1o1o1o1o1 ng 111111 1113:vitri:131xiivimvie1101:viehisP030111141101011w1o1o:o1o1o14x2o1o3o1o11n14ri4i11Q1 F CULTY R.

A tribute to our teachers- To To To To To those unselfish ones who are always willing to help us, those who listen with great respect to our perpetual chatter. those that simply cram us with knowledge, the ones who are expected to be perfect in every detail, the ones who create such a lasting impression upon us. And to those who deserve so much and receive so little, To these our teachers- We, the Senior Class of '34, express our sincere and utmost gratitude. Mention of Yester- day's Graduates Estelle Leonard will be a of the graduating class at College in June. Miss Leon- attained very high marks at Miss member Goucher ard has Goucher and has proved to be very studious. She was a graduate of C. H. S. in class of '30. Miss Mary Fletcher, who has been a student at Hollins for the past four years, will be graduated in June. Miss Fletcher is also a graduate of C. H. S. in the class of '29. Miss Sarah Ellen Byrn, a student at Washington College, will be a mem- ber of '34 graduating class. She is also one of C. H. S. alumnae, having been graduated in '29, Miss Alexina Robinson, one of C. H. Sf former graduates, in the year '30, will be graduated from Washing- ton College in June. self into so cramped a position that it is almost impossible to even think of dozing. If one feels the least sleepy do not sit near a radiator but, if possible, sit near an open window where the cool air has the tendency to keep one awake. However, if none of these methods work, there is one more thing to do- go to sleep. The Earth As The Home of Man High school Geography has for its main objective the understanding of the various influences which terres- trial forces have on the development of human society. To learn how these forces act it is necessary to have some knowledge of the great laws governing the universe and the evolution of the earth. VVe follow this order: CU The universe. Theories of its genesis and destiny. Q25 The earth as a member of the solar system. C35 Physical geography. The story of the earth's atmosphere and crust. Time and tide. Graduation and diatrophism. Seasons, climate, etc. 141 Economic forces. Barriers and helps to trade routes. Q53 Moral and mental influences. Ideals and religions as they are af- fected by physical environment. C. J. KOCH Taking up geography from these points, the Staff can easily under- stand why it has proved to be so very well liked among the student body.

Don't Give Up Hope When next year rolls around our greatly changed soccer team, led by Captain Cannon will of course be ex- pected to win the state championship. Then again when the time for bask- et ball comes, we hope to come out on top. Even though our star players Foxwell, Shuffler, Dougherty, and Stoker graduate, we still have a few stars in the school. They are: Wilk- inson, Newcomb and Burton. fThey sure look like bright stars too.J Although we did not win the Dec- fContinued on Page 192

In the Fifty-VVord Classf'-Henry fContinued on Page 155 This is a time of celebrating anni- versaries and looking back to some important occasion. Maryland is hav- ing its tercentenary and looking back three hundred years to its founding. Chicago is having a World's Fair and reviewing a Century of Progress. VVe cannot look back in our school history for three hundred years, neith- er can we review a Century of Prog- ress, but We can look back for twenty years and tell you something of the class of 1914-just twenty years ago. The class consisted of sixteen mem- bers, which was at that time the larg- est class that ever had been graduated. What a contrast to the classes of to- day! The members were: Commercial Charlotte Bramble Emily Bryan Lucille Gerlach Robert Hearn Anna Ruth McBride Blanche Phillips Jean Phillips Sallie Richardson Helen Ziegler .drademic Omro Hearn Elizabeth Hirst Thomas Kerr Clara Leonard Lida Meredith Anna Musselman Rebecca Leonard Looking at these todav we find that Jean Phillips, the valedictorian of the class, is now employed at the County Treasurer's Office. Lida Meredith, the salutatorian, is an outstanding member of the class' graduates. Dr. Meredith received her Western a member Surgeons, College of also did Bachelor of Arts from Maryland College. She is of the Royal College of England, and of the Royal Physicians, London. She post-graduate work at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, London and at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London. Among her past po- sitions she taught for three years in East New Market High School. She was Assistant Pharmacologist for the Medical Research Division of the Chemical Welfare Service at Edge- wood Arsenal, Assistant Pathologist to the Hygienic Laboratory at Wash- ington, D. C., and Technician for the State Dept. of Health at Hurloclt. She is also a member of the follow- ing societies in London: Dickens Fel- lowship, Poetry Society, Selborne So- ciety, The Medical Society of the Royal Free Hospital. Elizabeth Hirst is another successful member. She is now the Dorchester County Health Nurse. CContinued on Page 192 A N N A P O L I S Monday, May 22nd, 1934. 8:00 o'clock-Met the class at post ofhce.
