Page Eight --- ..... ---- ----- ------- ---- ------ ' CLASS HISTORY QContinued from page 5, column 37 -We were Sophomores lording it over newcomers but not unjustly, for we did not forget the abuses and rid- icule suffered during that first long year. It was on returning to school this year that we were pleased to welcome as our new Principal, Mr. Cromwell, who has proven himself most efficient and helpful. There was also another new member of the faculty, Miss Frances Matthews. The number of members of our class par- ticipating in athletics steadily grew as our classmates took positions on the different teams. It was during our Sophomore year that there were discovered in our class several writ- ers showing excellent abilities. The institution of the point system for the High School C came in this year. It was here that our class showed its ability in varied activi- ties and even produced one, consid- ered, by the school, the best all around student. Among our joys there is always a bit of sorrow, and it was a great sorrow that came to us in the loss of one of our faculty members, Miss Bessie Bradshaw, a kind and helpful friend and guide to all acquainted with her. Another vacation passed, we were now upper classmen-Juniors. We seemed to become Important Jun- iors. We found more time to spend in making the Junior Class one of the best that ever sojourned at this school. The Junior class was always well represented in all the school social functions. A large por- tion of the work for the school pa- per was undertaken this year by the Juniors. In the Declamation Con- test the Juniors came through with a representative in the County Con- test. This proved a very successful year for athletics, the Juniors being well represented by five regular players on the soccer team and two regulars on the basketball team. Both of these teams won the Eas- tern Shore Championship. We were all sorry to have Mrs. Fox leave us this year. Mrs. Fox did much toward keeping up the standard of the Hottentot , our school paper as she also helped greatly in other school activities. To fulfill the vacancy left by Mrs. Fox we were very glad to welcome Miss Doenges. Some had now left Cambridge High and the Junior Class behind them, but most of us were standing by, ready to take the place of the departing Seniors and carry on the honor of the class of '35. We had to wait only a short while before taking this position and when we entered for our final year in High School we were again accom- panied by several new faculty mem- bers, Miss Mabel Wright, Miss Byrn, Mr. Busick, and later in the year Miss Leonard who filled the va- cancy left by Miss Noble, Mr. Bos- ton i11 place of Miss Gould and still later Miss Williams. It was our misfortune this year to lose another well-liked member of the faculty, Miss Marie Mills, who had been librarian since the previous school year and was a helpful friend to all the school. It was she who one day paid us the tribute of having con- ducted one of the most successful Latin Clubs under her teaching. Among other talented people in the Senior class we have an artist. This person won the State honors in a contest for original patriotic posters sponsored by the National American Legion. Although our bas- ket-ball team went down on the rec- ords as not winning the Eastern Shore Championship we had one of the best teams ever produced in this school -:1 team that fought and fought squarely to the finish. The Senior members of the squad numbered seven. The soccer team was also made up largely of Seniors. This year there were two outstanding trips taken by members of the school, especially Seniors, the first was a trip to Wilmington to see the showing of Macbeth portrayed by Walter Hampden and Company and the second was a trip to Washing- ton for the purpose of visiting im- portant buildings and places of inter- est in our nation's capital. The Senior Class play was both successful and entertaining. This was due not only to the hard work of an able cast, we think the best, but also a cooperative class backing it in every way. This year we have brought back the custom omitted since '26, that of wearing caps and gowns for the graduation exercises and also the bringing together of the alumni of the school with the Seniors for a banquet and dance for the purpose of renewing old ties. Scholarship, after all is supreme. Of what good is success in athletics, of what advantage is success in oth- er activities if scholarship be ig- nored? It is through the work of our faculty that we achieve success in scholarship and we would like the members of the faculty to know that we feel greatly indebted to them for all of their untiring efforts. We, the Class of '35, are proud of our ideals and standards maintained during our four years' stay at Cam- bridge High School. As Seniors we have two things that occupy most of our thoughts, RETROSPECT and PROSPECT. RETROSPECT brings fond memoriesg PROSPECT, hope of QContinued to next colnmnj DR. COOK VISITS C. H. S. On May fourteenth C. H. S. was honored by a visit from Dr. Cook, State Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Cook visited Mr. F.1rver's manual training class and was very much pleased with the work done by the boys and with the well-kept equipment. He also commented on the cleanliness of the workroom. He also enjoyed visiting Miss Doenges' 11B English class. At noon, Dr. Cook left Cambridge to continue his visits to other schools on the shore. FACES ON THE CLOCK Whose face will stop the clock? That is thc question of which all the Seniors are thinking this year. The reason for this is that Mr. Tubman has in the window of his jewelry store on Poplar Street a large clock above a replica of C. H. S. beside which the pictures of the Seniors are placed. Each picture is numbered and the number placed on the face of the clock. At the appointed time the clock was wound and it will run until it runs down. The numbers at which the hour and the minute hand stop are of those two people receiving the handsome Bulova watches given by Mr. Tubman to the lucky boy and girl. . As I am a Senior myself I hope that for once my face has the pow- er to stop a clock and I am not alone in this desire. So-whose face will stop the clockll I wonder! CContinued from preceding columny the future. Our hope is that PROS- PECT will be realized and RETRO- SPECT of days at Cambridge High will become dearer to us as the years roll by.

Let's take a look at a few of the boys and girls who have gone out into the world to make their millions. One of the most outstanding is Ella Barkley, class of '31, a member of the graduating class of Washing- ton College. Ella was chosen to be the Queen of the June Fete held dur- ing June Week. She is president of the Girl's Stu- dent Government Association and of the Gamma Sigma Sorority, secretary of the Honor Society, a member of the Y. W. C. A. and of the Mount Vernon Literary Society. Another outstanding member is Emerson Slacum, class of '31, and at present a student at Washington College. Recently he won the an- nual W. C. T. U. Essay Prize of five dollars. The topic was: Alcohol and Human Efficiency. He is also president of the Y. M. C. A. CEmer- son always was a good little boy.j Eileen Hales, '32, a member of the graduating class of Salisbury Nor- mal, was May Queen and won the title of Miss Salisbury Normal, as the best all-round girl student. Because a sailor leads an adven- turous life, Leo Shenton, '34, and Harry Handy, '34, have joined the Navy. Shenton is stationed aboard the Scout Cruiser, U. S. S. Marble- head and Handy aboard the heavy cruiser, S. S. Astoria. At present both cruisers are taking part in fleet maneuvers in Pacino waters. Oh, and of course there are those who simply must get married. Some of these love-birds are: Norma Lee Creighton, '32 and Syd- ney Spedden-married at Wheaton, Ill., August 3, 1934. Just an- nounced. Nellie B. Fountain, '29 and James Webster, '29-married in Illinois, August 13, 1934. Just announced. Mary Jane Neild, '31 and Richard Chambers-married at Elkton, Md., April 22, 1935. Phyllis Dean and Alvin Creigh- ton, '28-married April 22, 1935. Elinor Robinson, '29 and Samuel Neavitt Lomax-married at Salis- bury, Md., April 27, 1935. Rosalie Johnson, '33 and Payton A. Hurley-married May 14, 1935. Doris Warner, '33 and LeRoy Smith of' Easton-married May 21 1935, in Baltimore, Md. Virginia Lee Hurley, '34, and Wil- liam G. Hubbard-married May 24, 1935. K We hope that they may all live happily ever after.

Then they left the exclusive gown shop, Went in search of more adventure. Saw a sign above them shining With the legend Ye Olde Dance Schoole : Cantwell and Vickers. Famous dancing masters were they. Annalie Brohawn wrote all their music, Published by the well known com- pany, Handley and Tilman . Efficiency experts-Paul Watson .ind Byrn Phelps Handled all their other business, While all the covers for the music, Were the works of Ann Bryan. Canto V The Travellers continue down Broadway and to the Opera. Craving then some entertainment Went the Travellers to-the-Opera, To hear their class-mate Mildred Tyler Sing the famous Travi:1ta . Scanned they then their little pro- grams. Saw the name of Morgan Cook As the managing director, Noticed al o that tl1e actors Were costumed by George Dashiell and Reginald Brooks. Saw the name of Ben Newcomb As the chief publicity agent, And the name of Arthur Brooks Listed as chief electrician, While the famous Ballet-chorus Was led by talented Anna. Jones. On the back an advertisement Of the ideal place for children, Of the Grupe camp i11 the moun- tains, Where their dear old class-mate, Helen, Was the popular director. Then they looked at all the Boxes, Searching for familiar faces. Saw the box where Mabel Robbins Entertained by Theatre Party Old friends interested in music. Olive Cantwell in pearls and er- mine, Sitting with her Russian Viscount. In the next box sat two authors, Thomas and McCarter, whose last brain child, Was a neat collaboration On a very popular subject, Social Customs and Mosquitoes . Canto VI Conclusion: The Travellers, fare- well When the Opera was ended fContinued to next columnj BACK STAGE VIEW OF SHIRT SLEEVES Excited chatter, the smell of grease paint filled the air, tingles of nervous anticipation filled the bod- ies, while the lines of the play filled the brains of the actors as they ner- vously awaited the rise of the cur- tain on the annual play presented by the graduating class of the C. H. S. Every one hurried around, busy with last minute preparations, dab- bing on a little make-up paint, comb- ing hair, straightening ties and, :1 little off the subject, getting pro- grams autographed as souvenirs. Finally the fatal moment arrived, the curtain started as Lev's voice could be heard from behind the scenery. Everyone seemed awfully nervous while awaiting their cue but after- ward they lost their nervousness. So the play progressed through the first two acts. At the end of the second scene there seemed to be a degree of secrecy. At the end of the second act the secrets was discovered. Two bunches of roseshad been smuggled in and they 'were awarded to Miss Doenges and Miss Wright. All through the third act could be heard, back stage of course, the mur- mur, Itls going over, over big, they're laughing at the right placesf' More secrecy at the end of the last act and after the play, more flowers. One bouquet to Lil, one that was divided among the cast, as far as it would go. As a member of the cast, I wish to say right here and now that being in the play was one of the happiest experiences of my life and one that will always be remembered. I am sure that in this respect I speak for the entire body that participated. Then their adventure was com- pleted, Said the Traveller to a friend, I have traced each of my class- mates, And I know what they are doing In their various occupations. I will now return to Biscay, To a quiet place in Flanders, Cease my wanderings and writings Long enough to tell the history Of my class-mates as I found them After years of graduation. Came this story of my class-mates As it has unrolled before you. May you have the joy in reading That has been mine in writing, And may I express fond wishes, As I say farewell forever.

Evva Bell seems to like uniforms, and we don't see her friend Rebecca Asplen disagreeing with her. The uniforms you understand are C. C. C. ones. Mattie Brown Wright, can you come home after 10 olclock at night when you graduate? I hear Mary Alice is an extreme- ly good dancer. Maybe she ought to make it her profession. Maybe I'm wrong again, but Helen Frances Dunnock and Aline Trav- ers stay in town a lot, and I think there is a very serious rcason. fNot hinting, of coursej. Donny GroE, I hate to admit it, but after school closes I will miss listening to your dumb jokes. Steele Webster seems to like the school grounds so' much he even parks tl1e1'e at night. Can you imagine Lee Burton lik- ing the school grounds at night too? Grass-hop some night and see. Margaret Knauer's aiections have changed. I have seen her in the High Spot often dancing with a boy from Factory B office. Lorraine Robbins is rather jealous too. I heard, yes, I heard, that a girl in this school dreams about Robert Doenges. Now that school is almost over I wi'l stake my wealth Q30 centsj that Eleanor Thompson is looking forward to sails with Carlton. VVimpy James is seen going steady with a little blond-haired girl these days. It is keeping Wimpy out of mischief now. Ever since I have known Levie Newcomb Cwhich is three yearsj he has been going about with one girl. Don't get married on us yet, please! Paul Richardson likes the name of Virginia Every morning Irving Vincent doesn't seem to like to get off the bus. I wonder if the love bug has hit him too. Russell Cheeseman used to take girls riding lu11ch-time when he had his car. I guess it will be at night after school closes. On Saturdays and Sundays I see Buddy Champlin working at the Standard Oil. Just what girl are you saving money for? Virgil-I advise a P. G. course if you want to keep tabs on Dot. She is a very likable girl you know. Mildred Tyler seems to like Beans, Now that Mildred has ditched you, who is your ncxt pick, Bobby War- rent Thelma Hurley, I know that the whole senior class will miss you and your laughing ways. Willamae, there is a freshman in 'fthis here high school who likes you a lot. No robbing of the cra- dle please. Louise Mitchell, when you are out of school don't let that redhead of yours get the best of you and lose your temper at the boy-friend. Marie Kuhn, when you are out of school are you going to have dates with those numerous boys who want them? I have seen Olive Cantwell step- ping out these nights. My, my, what is this world coming to? If Leo Shenton comes home this summer just what will you do, Mr. Donald Matthews? At thc High Spot one can see Clarence Tanner there most every night. CAII dressed up tool. I won- der! ! ! Instead of the boy riding the girl around, Aurethia Moore rides her boy-friend around. Arline Stewart has a one-track mind these days. Wonder who he IS. Mahcl Robbins goes about with one of our bus drivers, but her friend Hazel Mullcnnax talks to him every morning until the bell rings. It looks like a triangle to me. Granville Cook seems to like short girls with dusty blond hair. Arthur Brooks likes to take Par- rots riding. Is she a talkative one? For the past ycar or more Kath- leon Bradley has been able to take care of one Bill only. I hear Morgan Cook is acourt- ing a little girl by the name of Al- verta. Alton Dean, must you go on the roof to sleep and then fall off? What's happened between the boy- friend, Henry, and you-Charlotte Fleming? Robert Foxwell must be afraid he will miss something at school, he gets up so early. I wonder how Helen Grupe will pass the summer when she has no books to study. Charles Handley is seen going places with Mildred Stoker these days. Jim Howard seems to like fast dancing. I warn you to clear the door when you see him coming. Won't you at least yell when you get your diploma, Ernest Jones! You are so-o-o quiet. Anna Jone , I wish you would yell tool CContinued to page 12, Col. lj

Page Nine TRIBUTE TO .A TEACHER Taken from The Rowe Budget for May The heights of fame he ne'er at- tained, No weighty tome his name dis- played, His voice was low, he never gained Renown by speeches which he made. His life was lived for girls and boys. Each morning found him in his room Prepared to share their homely joys. I never heard him fret or fume. He had a. quiet little smile Whene'er he asked me to recite. Not quite so fast, please wait awhile. ' It pays, he'd say, to get it right. A We'd go to him for everything. He seemed to understand and know Those strange emotions which oft wring Young hearts and minds-those whispers low. He had drunk deep at wisdom's well. The books he knew-the scholar's thirst Was his, but always you could tell That boys and girls, not books, came first. To dawning minds came visions bright. Q ' He kindled hopes, ambitions fired. He taught that might can neicr make right, And thus were boys and girls in- spired. I well remember his good-by There on the steps on that June day. His life ran out. But ever nigh I feel his presence light the way. CContinued from last Col., this pagej lic Thomas, and Ellsworth Tilman. 5-100 word.
