TRACK AND FIELD DAY Several of Cambridge High's best athletes travelled to the University of Maryland, College Park, for the annual track and field meet of all high and preparatory schools in Maryland and the District of Columbia. Despite the fast competition, Cambridge High trade a creditable showing, Web Brown placed first in his heat of the 220-yard dash, and emerged third in the finals. Thurston Applegarth, showing the result of his chest and training Q U, was a good third in his heat of the 100-yard dash. Leonard Tall, breaking the county record by one second in the 440-yard dash, was unable to finish the fast pace by which he led the others for 425 yards, and had to be satisfied with the knowledge that another track meet was coming. Others who competed on the track team were: Billy Wroten, high jump and relayg Walter Tan- ner, high jump and pole vault, Harrison Spedden, half-mile, and Harold Robinson, high jump. Each individual boy is to be con- gratulated for the competitive spirit shown despite the tremendous handicap of being out-classed by much larger schools. .-gp-.-.

--.T.f.1.E--I1 0 T T-ENIELT--- Page Seven NEWS ITEMS The commercial teachers from Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties held an all- day meeting in Salisbury High School, April 22. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss stand- dards for commercial departments in Maryland schools. Miss Har- wood, Miss Dunn, and Mrs. Har- man represented Cambridge High School at the meeting. On May 9, there was a meeting of shorthand teachers of the East- ern Shore at Salisbury. Mr. Charles Zoubek of the Gregg Pub- lishing Company presented a dem- onstration lesson by the functional method. Miss Harwood attended the meeting. The Junior Red Cross collected flowers and presented them to the Cambridge Hospital at Easter. They also packed a basket of fresh fruit for an invalid whose name or residence they did not know. Miss Hirst, the county health nurse, delivered the fruit. We are glad to learn that Mr. Noble, who has been ill for several months, is well again and has re- turned to his oHice. A number of the faculty and stu- dents attended the talk by Richard Halliburton at the State Teachers College at Salisbury. Everyone seemed to enjoy his talk very much LOOK FOR THE GOOD We are too often prone to criti- cize and dwell upon the objection- able things in school. We fail to notice the features we might praise. However, there has been a national writing project on the subject, What Is Best In My School. This sets us to thinking, and if we think seriously just a few minutes, we are surprised to find numerous good-even very fine- things in our school. When we feel that we have a very worthy-in- stitution in the high school here, we enjoy working for it. It is this feeling that this project stim- ulates. Its effect is rejuvenation and puts new life into every activ- ity. Instead of so much harmful crit- icfsm-with no suggestion for im- provement-it would be a fine thing for every one of us to con- tinue to look about to find the real- ly good things of which we may take advantage.-The Chatterbox, George Washington High School, Danville, Virginia.

II TYPEWRITING DEPART- MENT The typewriting department has made use of all Competent Typist Speed Tests and Junior and Senior Order of Artistic Typist Tests sent out by the Gregg Company this year. This work has been a supple- ment to the regular budget work required by all students taking the typing course. The awards help to create interest and may be used to check on progress made during any period of time. The lists which follow contain names of students who have made awards. and also those whose tests have been sent in this month. The students making awards for the Competent Typist Speed Tests have had to work very hard to bring their speed up and their accuracy down to five or less errors. The 30-39 word awards were made by the following' Louise Burton. Mar- ffaret Foxwell, Fred Gray, Elvin Hess. Sara Handley. Gertrude Wahl. Elizabeth Schnoor. Virginia Twilley, Josephine Todd, Marion Wright, Arthur Wheatley. Anna Wheatlev. Alan Wilkinson. Brins- field Cook. Betty Henry. Paul Wil- lev. Herman Stevens, Edna Peter- son, Beverly Dill. Betty Hugh Fountain. Martha Geoghegan, Ann B. Llovd. Emily Marine. Marjorie McKnight, Virginia Mills. Bonnie Skinner, Pauline Travers. Anna Mae Warner. Virginia Lee Willey, Billy Applegarth. Webster Brown, Charles Pritchett. John Kirwan, Mace Bailey, Melvin Jones, Ralph Murphy, Dorothy Brohawn, Helen SHORTHAND Results from tests this year have proved very satisfactory in the commercial department. Many Seniors are writing 100 words a minute in shorthand and 60 words a minute in typewriting. This meets the business college standard. Some of the students have had part-time commercial work the en- tire school year. Others have helped with correspondence and the daily routine of the ofiice of the high school. Special recognition should be given to this group. This year's junior commercial class has some promising ma- terial for 1937 seniors. Fell, Sarah Gore, Emma Parks, Doris Robbins, Clara Bradley, Julian Bennett, Lyda Booze, Wil- liam Brotemarkle, Jr., Grace Bran- nock Smith, and Pauline Harris. The following students made the 40-49 word awards: Rebecca As- plen. Audrey Booze, Elvin Hess, Shirley Harding, Gertrude Kahl, Naomi LeCompte, Roy Melvin, Donald Stevens, Elizabeth Schnoor, Clarence Spear, Virginia Sackett, Helen Twilley, Marion Wright, Anralie Brohawn, Brinsfield Cook, Margaret Gore, Dorothy Gould, Harold Harper, Thelma Hurley, Irene Lidard, Thomas Phillips, Louise Tyler, Emily Marine, Anna Mae Warner, Virginia Lee Willey, Webster Brown, and Martha Geog- hegan.

We are wondering, probably, what we will be doing twenty years from now. We would give much to know! For this reason we have looked up the class of '16. To those who were officers of the class we turn first: Henry Hooper, Jr., president of the class, has a hardware store on Race Street. Edna Moore, vice-president, is now Mrs. Thomas Russell, living in Silver Spring, Md. fShe's that Jack Russell's mother.J Nettie May Hitch, secretary, is working in Salisbury. Ruth Phillips, treasurer, is work- ing at the State Board of Health- Office. We are sorry to say that some members of this class are deceased. These are: Helen Bramble, wife of Samuel Brannock at the time of her death. Calista Hessey, Isabelle Potter fMrs. Augustus Moorel. Walter Seward, and Marion Smith. Those working in offices and elsewhere are: Mamie Harrington, Harrington, Bayly Co. Williard Hooper, Electric Light Co. Richie Morgan, Nathan's Furni- t Ire Sto1'e. Margaret Matthews is a teacher at Peach Blossom School. Many of the class are married and have families: Margaret Drennen, Mrs. Sidney Wilson, lives in Philadelphia, Pa., and has one child. Isabelle Hanna, Mrs. Leroy Goldsborough, lives at Ruxton and is the mother of two children. Ma1'y Hearn, Mrs. Shryock, lives in Baltimore and is mother of two in Baltimore and is the mother of two children. Lillian McBride, Mrs. Harold Phillips, lives in Detroit. Shirley Skinner, Mrs. Hunter Wilson, mother of two children. Clara Taylor, Mrs. Raymond Rook. Rebecca Willis, Mrs. Daniel Wil- lis, lives in Washington. Emma Elliott lives at home. Louise LeCompte lives in Balti- more. Lillian Barth, Mrs. Crane, lives in Milburn, N. J. We hope the members of the class of 1916 continue to have long, prosperous lives. She was one whom one might like better the more one saw her less.

Y 1 Y Y ---DLE--ll52-l.T-F.iIf2-F---- ---M Page Nine CLASS HISTORY lContinued from Page 2, Col. 21 shadows before, so the large num- ber of students who entered the declamation contest of '33 foretold the well-known fact that our class, with the exception of this year, has had the most contestants en- rolled in the annual declamation contest. Freshman names began to ap- pear on the honor roll. Many came under the title of distinguished scholarship. It was indeed an honor to the Freshman Class when one of our girls made the only girls' champion- ship of our school. Many students received the Cambridge C , which was given for the first time. Much of the success of our class in the Freshman year was due to the splendid leadership of Miss Bessie Bradshaw. Her death was a great loss to the school. But the short time that we knew her as teacher, librarian, and friend was sufficient to inspire us to live up to what she thought and expected of her girls and boys. Entering with us this year was Mr. Cromwell, the new principal, and Miss Frances Matthews, the home economics teacher. Soon we became sophomores. For- getting our own former awkward- ness, one wondered how anyone could be as dumb as those Fresh- man who were lost in the hall and who could not remember the traffic rules. In our second year several girls became members of the basketball team, while many boys took part in Athletic Day. One member of our class won second place in the school declamation contest and took part in the county. contest. The girls regretted losing their physical educational teacher, Mrs. Fox, but her place was soon cap- ably filled by Miss -Helen Doenges. Later in the year Miss Cleona Brinsfield received the position left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Louise Wright. Our Sophomore year drew quick- ly to a close: needless to say we had already begun to feel the im- portance of being Juniors. When we entered high school as Juniors in 1934 we had begun another important era in our scholastic achievements. It was in our Junior year that the Dramatic Club was formed. A large number of Juniors took part in the five plays successfully staged by the club. The declamation contest again drew a large number of con- testants from our class. This time the winner of the school contest and second choice in the county was a member of our Junior Class. Literary talent was depicted among the virtues of the class when the Junior Staff became active workers on The Hottentotf' Several girls and boys obtained prominent positions on the basket- ball teams. To our happiness came a sadden- ing blow when we learned of the unexpected death of Miss Marie Mills. She had been our Latin teacher, our librarian, and our ad- viser. The sudden death of the janitor was also a great shock to the school. Several new teachers were ap- pointed at the beginning of the year. The vacancy left by the resignation of Vice-Principal L. C. Marshall, faculty member of the C. H. S. for over thirty years, was filled by Mr. James Busick, while Coach Andrews was made vice- principal. Other new teachers in- cluded Miss Mabel Wright and Miss Ellen Byrn, later in the year Miss Estelle Leonard filled the va- cancy left by Miss Dorothy Noble. and Mr. Theodore Boston was in place of Miss Rosabelle Gould. When the teachers have a meet- ing everyone expects school to start. We Seniors were awaiting anxiously the time when we would enter the high school as dignified Seniors g when we would get those privileges, such as the front seats in the assembly, that had long been denied us. Suddenly there arose such a clatter of fire sirens that the whole town was excited and our hopes were smashed in a few sec- onds. The new high school that had housed us so comfortably, and of which we were so proud, had burned. Yes, it had succumbed to a heap of ashes. There was nothing to do but to return to the Seminary. All was in darkness. But: True ambition fires the soul With a zeal to make life's goal Hope declares, 'I will not die!' And lights a candle in the sky. This ambition the Senior Class possessed. They may be rightly commended for the spirit in which they have taken hard knocks and made a successful year in spite of hundreds of drawbacks. Although we gave up such pleasures and what we had previously thought of as necessities-such as the library, assemblies, lunch hour, and a flourishing cafeteria-things have not been so bad. Seminary was more than kind in taking us in and providing room for us. Even though the cellar fell to the lot of the Seniors, we rose above it! This year the basketball teams have been very successful. For the boys' team, of which seven seniors POPULAR SONGS Lost Christopher Columbus Stardust Where are you?

It is the first time in our high school career that the girls have made a good showing. This year the girls played fifteen games and won thirteen, making a total of 474 points to their opponents 216. We can justly be proud of our Senior athletic record. This year a Senior won the school declamation contest and captured second place in the county. Several trips were taken and en- joyed by Seniors. There was the trip to Temple University where four Seniors, acting as senators and press agents, represented the Cam- bridge High School in the discus- sion of the Old-Age Pension. Sev- eral Seniors enjoyed week-end con- ferences at Washington and the State Teachers' Colleges. There was another trip taken to Goldey Col- lege. Many Seniors took advan- tage of a trip to Washington to re- view their Capital City. Our scholarship record has been high this year. Our principal states that it is the first time dur- ing his principalship that no warning letters had to be sent to parents. Every year some com- mercial students are given dicta- tion by Mr. Cromwell. The results this year have been more satisfac- tory than ever before. There are several outstanding typists in the present Senior Class. New teachers this, year included Miss Ella Bar.kley,A Mr. Edward Walter, Mr. Raymond Simmons and later, Mrs. Bonnie Harmon for Miss Anna Collins. We realize how much our records are due to the faithful- SIMILES fAbout a few Seniorsl As athletic as Virginia Mills As fashionable as Beverly Dill As prim as Betty Hugh Fountain As helpful as Jeanette Brannock As cute as Anna Mae Warner As romantic as Virginia Lee Willey As good a dancer as Irene Lidard As petite as Dot Gould As versatile as Hoss James As jolly as Shirley Harding As ambitious as Dot Brannock As disrupting as Dunbar Groff As self-assured as Olga Mark As well-dressed as Pauline Harris As argumentative as Brotie Brotemarkle As carefree as Freddie Fisher As popular as Alan Wilkinson As cave-mannish as Appie Tall ' As childish as Clara Bradley As humorous as Marjorie Mc- Knight As artistic as Martha Geoghegan As well-dressed as Roy Melvin As talented as Emily Marine As fair as Evelyn Brannock As loud as Margaret West f As mischievous as Walter Tanner As sympathetic as Kitty Robbins As dark as Tommy Phillips Margaret Foxwell Alice Collins As pert as As mild as As literary as Lyda Booze As good-natured as Tommy Ven- able As musical as Tus Applegarth As droll as Johnny Schneider As tall as Ducky Spear As light as Billy Applegarth As determined as Rhodessa Slacum As Wright as Audrey Booze As sweet as Virginia Sackett As surprising as Anna Jean Keene As independent as Betty Henry As solemn as Rachel Beckwith As courteous as Meredith Marshall As much in love as Sarah Linthi- cum As conceited as Louise Tyler As nautical as Web Brown ness and leadership of these and our other teachers.
