S. I I ove You Little White Gardenia Every Day It's Dark on Observatory Hill Believe it Beloved Blue Moon Moon Glow We, the senior class of Cambridge High School of Cambridge, Mary- land, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and considering the brevity of this life, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: First: It is our desire that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid by our successor, the Junior Class, as soon after death as possi- ble. Second: To some of the individ- uals in the Junior class, we the in- dividuals of the senior class leave the following things: Louise Mitch- ell's Elmer to Mildred Stoker. Thomas Cannon's 'artistic ability to Martha Gcoghegan, Frances Price's talkativeness to Margaret West. Robert Foxwellls and Robert Bran- nock's sleeping disease to Bill Shaw.

Third: Realizing that Freshmen and Sophomores have not yet reached the age of poise and dignity we leave the senior's superio1'ity, now concealed under caps and gowns. Fourth: We hereby give and be- queath to the Junior Class our im- personal properties such as the pub- lication of our school paper, the privilege of taking part in plays, the struggle for economic security, and other privileges which have been ac- corded, from time immemorial, to Seniors alone. In witness whereof, I have here unto subscribed my name and aitixed my seal, the thirteenth day of June, CContinued to page 8, column 35 It is a sad hour when a Senior Class prepares to say farewell. It is a time when old bridges are crossed in memory and new ones are de- signed in thoughts. We, the Senior Class, iiing our torch to our succes- sor. Yours be the task to hold it highf' We have kept it burning brightly during our year of leader- ship, burning with the fuel of schol- arship, loyalty, and love. The class of '35 has made its place in Cambridge High School his- tory in every way: in scholarship, athletics, dramatics and music. Ours was the joy of adding to all these activities as well as to the social life of the school. We arrived at the portals of the imposing school building, full of our own importance, a feeling we of '35 have never lost during these past four years. The class enrollment the first year surpassed the one hundred mark. This number has decreased through these four years to the present sev- enty-eight. Entering, with ns, this same year WVC1'C several new teach- ers: Miss Rosabelle Gould, Miss Sara Linthicum, Mr. Arthur Ahalt and Mr. Emmett Andrews, our coach and athletic mentor. The Freshman class jumped into the school activities right from the first. Several reporters for the school paper were chosen, one being our present Editor of the Hottentot. There were eight members of this class participating in the school Dec- lamation Contest. It is seldom that Freshmen are no- ticed in athletics but at the end of this year there was one member of our class who had risen high in ath- letic fame. He had been outstand- ing in both basketball and soccer. A dream, reaching its fulfillment CContinued to page 8, column lj PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '35 Canto I Introduction: The Travelers ar- 1-ive. Should you ask us whence these stories, Whence these legends and tradi- tions, We should answer, we should tell you- From the pen of two far Travel- lers With interest in their class these Travellers, Fond of every dear school-mate, Remembered them in years long after: In the year of 1950 They remembered each dear class- mate. Went they on a strange adven- ture- Sceking out each dear old class- mate, Wrote then all they saw and heard there, S nw and heard upon their travels, Called it the Prophetic Writings , Prophecy of '35. Canto II The Travellers go to Broadway and buy the Times. By the shores of New York City, In the shining Big-Sea Water, Docked a big ship White Star Liner. Went then from the dock, these Travellers, Down the great white way called Broadway. Lit with many lights was Broad- way, Many signs were shining with legends of successes, Shining with old names familiar, Names familiar to these Travellers, High above them on a red sign, Was the name of Moore shining, Aurethia Moore, the great actress, Following in the steps of Grace Moore Crowded was her Thespian Palace. Then they went and talked to Aurethia, Talked to Aurcthia their old class-mate. Next week I will leave this city, Catherine Todd will take my place here, In her new play Stunning Dressesug U Ishall go to Baltimore , she said, To play in the Little Theatre, Sponsbred by the Govei-nor's Lady, Our old class-mate, Charlotte Fleming.

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. LILLIAN CANTWELL, Class Prophet. H my TID-BITS fEDITOR'S NOTE: This column is just in fun, so please don't get mad and try to sue because you wouldn't get a cent.:l George CShrimpj Dashicll, when you g1'0W up, who will be your one and only? 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
