N.S.P.A. GIVES HOTTENTOT HONOR RATING The Hottentot , as usual, joined the National Scholastic Press As- sociation this year. This associa- tion gives the paper a rating as compared to other school papers, as well as hints and helps for the paper. In the rating of the paper both the good and the bad points are carefully studied by the judges and complimented or criticized. The association has increased its mem- bership to eleven hundred forty- two members. The judges marked harder this year because of the many more papers that had joined the association. Owing to the increase in the student body of the high school the Hottentot was classed in a higher group than that of last year where competition was much lzeener. It is interesting to note that in spite of this, the Hotten- tot had the same rating as of last year-Third Class Honor Rating- Fair. Last year the Hottentot had a total of three hundred seventy points and the paper this year had a total of four hundred lContinued on Page 6, Column 33 STAFF OF '37 PICKED Hottentot to be entirely different Due to the change in the paper for the coming school year and the inexperience of the Juniors in the running of a paper, the Staff of '37 was picked by a nominating committee from the Junior Class. The Staff was then put before the class for ratification. The Staff was picked on ability to Write and achieve. The Hottentot will be different. The paper Will be mimeographed, and will be published each month. There will also be a large Senior Issue. The Staff has high hopes for a paper of a high standard. The Staff of '36 wishes you luck. Following is the Hottentot Staff for 1937: EDITOR-IN-CHIEF William Sackett ASSISTANT EDITOR Harper LeCompte' LITERARY DEPT. Jory Slaughter, Herman Stevens Phoebe Morse, Goldy Tyler Billy Newcomb ART DEPT. Martha Lee Applegarth, Harold Lloyd, Pauline Pike . Q WILL OF TI-IE HOTTENTOT We, the Hottentot Staff of thirty- six, having come to our last hours, in our own right mind, and in peace with all the world, do make this our last will and testament in manner and form following. We hereby give, bequeath and devise all our worldly goods and posses- sions to the following beneficiaries to wit: First, befo1'e the distribution of fCcntinued on Page 13, Column 19 HUMOR DEPT.

Billy Willey, Vernon McCarter JUNIORS ELECT OFFICERS In the election of the incoming president for the class of '37 Rus- sell Smith was elected by a small majority of two votes. He will succeed Wildai James and take over the duties of the oflice at the new high school next year. His close contender, Betty Robbins, was elected tice-president and will suc- ceed Grace B. Smith. Much interest and enthusiasm was aroused in the election. It seemed as though it were a fight- the boys against the girls. But Russell finally won. To qualify for such a position one is recognized as a candidate for be accepted by the faculty before he is recognized as a candidate for the position. Russell and Betty have had little experience in leader- ship, but seem able and willing to tackle the duties of their offices and fulfill them to the best of their ability. We congratulate the incoming officers and feel sure that the Class of '37 will give them their most hearty co-operation.

DECLAMATION CONTEST CLASS HISTORY FAREWELL SENIORS CLASS WILL The preliminary declamation contest of the Cambridge High School was held at the Baraca Room of Grace Church on Thurs- day, Ap1'il 16. More students than ever before participated. Five from the junior- senior group and three from the freshman-sophomore group were chosen for the school finals. The judges selected Lee Records, Marjorie McKnight, Rhodessa Sla- cum, Dorothy Lee Brannock, Lyda Booze, Beverly Banning, Virginia Hobbs, and Olive Brannock. Lyda Booze was chosen for Hrst place with Beverly Banning as al- ternate. In the county declamation con- test Lyda Booze won second place and Arthur Parker of East New Market, first place. Lyda Booze gave The White Hands of Tel- ham . Some parents are rude, but oth- ers have learned to keep still when the kids are talking. As all good things come to an end, so the class of 1936 must leave the folds of Cambridge High School where they have so valiantly up- held the high school banner through fire, storm, and stress. It seems an incredibly short time since we, the Seniors of '36, entered high school. Yet we have spent the re- quired four years, for it was in September of 1932 that Cambridge High School, like an octopus, reached out and drew into its con- fines a motley crowd of one hun- dred and eighty, or so, girls and boys. The old order of elementary school was changed, yielding place to new. But the present gradu- ating class quickly adapted them- selves to this change and began -to be known then, as they are now, as well-rounded students. Music, dramatics, and scholarship, as well as athletics, have had an equal share in our curriculum. As coming events cast their fContinued on Page 8, Col. 15 'Tis sad the time when the Seniors of the good old C. H. S. , Class of '36, depart on their journey through life. It is for these Seniors to hold high the banner of Seniors who preceded them. With a record that any Senior class might well be proud of, as far as student ability and athletic prowess is concerned, the Class of '36 will step into the paths of for- mer Seniors and do their best to uphold the reputation our Alumni have established in by-gone days. However sad though their part- ing from the school may be, these Seniors are glad that they are able to step out into the world and take part in the handling of the country in some manner. They will do their best to make the social and educa- tional life of the people better in every way. These Seniors were handicapped before the school year started by the destroying of the school by fire. The Seminary teachers readily co- fContinued on Page 10, Column 41 il. We, the Senior Class of Cam- bridge High School of Cambridge, Md., do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First, we leave to the ensuing classes the rebuilt high school, with all the advantages and conveniences that it will give. Second, to the individuals of the lower classes, we, the individuals of the Senior Class, leave these things: To Sis Fell and Charlotte Gillis, we leave Irene Lidard's and Kitty Robbins' graceful dancingg to Beverly Meekins we leave Bev Dill's sophisticationg to Pauline Pike, Martha Geoghegan's artistic abilityg to Par Newcomb, Betty Henry's attractiveness.
