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.

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-.-.

After getting on a street car, one of them hit the con- ductor over the head. When asked why he did it, Dinky replied: Well, there was an organ grinder with a monkey in his lap, and I asked the conductor if he allowed monkeys on his car.

One day a lady asked him what kind of a dog it was. A police dog, was the reply. A police dog! I never saw a police dog look like that, said the surprised lady. Oh, but this dog's in the Secret Service, answered little Jimmie with dignity. PF if 41 That's a nice-looking fellow who has just come in, said Meredith to Virginia Lee. Is he a friend of yours? Yes, indeed, I know him well, laughed Nin . Shall I ask him to join us? Oh, Meredith! said Virginia Lee, blushing, this is so sudden. Sudden? What do you mean? he asked in surprise. Why-why, that's our new minister. HF Pk 11 Web : If you are tired of dancing, Bonnie, we'll sit down and have a little tete-a-tete. Bonnie: Oh, dear me, no!

Several members of the Senior Class have enviable records on the basketball court and also on the soccer field. The soccer team, comi posed partly of Seniors, was beaten in the County Championship only after they had played almost three mwhole scoreless games with Hur- iflock, who finally conquered the fighting team of Cambridge High, at Vienna, by the score of 2 to 0. The boys' basketball team, which was composed mostly of'.Se1iiQ1jS, gives the Senior Class feason to be proud of its athletic prowess. This team won the Eastern 'Shore Championship and was the runner- up for the State Championship.- The girls' basketball team, which was one of the best that Cambridge High has ever had, was composed partly of Seniors. This girls' team won the County Championship, but was defeated by Oxford in a very close game at Easton in the semi- Hnals of the Eastern Shore Cham- pionship. Wildai James, the President of the 1936 Senior Class, has a fine record as a student and also as an athlete. Wildai enjoyed great suc- cess also, as the Editor-in-Chieftpf the Hottentot , the school paper. He was captain of the 1935-36 basketball team which won the Eastern Shore Championship, and he was also one of the most impor- tant members of the soccer team. Many of these departing Seniors. have chosen their life's work, 'bdta some will delay their choice for a' while. The rest of the School feels confident that whatever job these Seniors take up they will perform it in a fine and upright manner, and do nothing that would taint or stain their well-deserved reputa- tion. . We, the rest Oli, the school, Freshmen, Sophomoresand Juniors, wish the departing Senior Class all the luck in the world and hope that they will often think of the good Ole C. H. S.
