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.

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.

Pastime: Sports. ii a fix, But in my reminiscing I'll try to tell you why Everyone hates to leave good old Cambridge High. A brave lot of freshmen, we started out to be, It seems as only yesterday to others and to me, Our joys and our heartaches soon came thick and fast, If only we could open a book and show to you the past! The following fall we returned as silly sophomores, Amazed to find we felt much dif- ferent than before, A smart aleck, a carefree giggling lot, Hooking school, thinking education to be a lot of rot . Our Junior year we remember with pride and with a tear, A tear caused by the passing of one of the faculty so dear- Pride in our teams whose games were a great event, All in all, that year, our time was quite well spent. Each began his senior year with dignity and ambition, We felt more sophisticated and worthy of our position. We worked hard and diligently in each and every task, And felt sorry that this year had to be the last. Now as our school days are draw- ing to an end, We dread to say good-bye to each teacher and each friend, C SO YOU'RE GRADUATING? Well, thousands of other students are doing the same thing and you have a right to feel a certain glow of pride, if the record you leave behind is such that faculty and students can have only the most pleasant memories of you: if your scholastic record is such that no one need to offer explanations why you failed to do better: and if you have shown by your first job that you can be trusted with the re- sponsibilities of employment. As you leave school, take with you more than your diploma. Too many graduates of both col- lege and high school feel that graduation means a cessation from the responsibilities of learning. If your high school days have failed to give you any joy in learning be- yond the passing of examinations and the earning of credits, then all concerned have failed, even though your report card may be adorned with a galaxy of glittering A's . The amount of American history you have absorbed is not so impor- tant as your attitude toward American history and current gov- ernmental problems. If the inter- est you have developed in high school will carry you no farther than the funnies and sport pages of your daily paper, then your edu- cation is factual and not functional. The cupboard of Old Mother Hubbard was bare, because she had failed to restock it. Mental cupboards of high school graduates become bare, because their owners allow the current slang to be the only additions to their vocabularies, because only light reading is on their literary diet, because they do not think it important'to keep on learning. But this condition need not exist. Continued association with good books, current magazines of the best type, the radio speaker of note, rather than the commercial buffoon, music less iieeting than the blat- ant jazz, and association with those who rise above constant small talk, will help you avoid that intellectual vacuum wherein so many high school graduates fall. High school has given you just one small peep into the world of knowledge. Resolve to be a con- stant observer and get a better view. R. F. CROMWELL. And as we leave our work and studies it is with a sigh, For the happiest days we'll ever have were spent at Cambridge High. EMILY MARINE, Class Poet.
