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.

Page Six 0 v r .T-T.F.h.T 0 F--- TID-BITS Dear Walter Tanner: Please tell us how the cannon in the Park works. Since Mr. Cromwell's lecture on lollagaging the movies have lost much trade. An expression that has grown around the school is, Don't you come near me. Beverly has obtained her father's consent to put her boy-friend in the gasoline business. Anna Mae Warner's porch is en- closed with screen wire, so the mosquitoes won't bother her and Flash this summer. Betty Henry should take a course in Home Economics because her boy friend is probably used to savory foods. His father has a lunchroom. William Waller's leg is better, and we are glad to welcome him back to numerous lover's corners. John Schneider divides his time between Martha and Ted's machine. Dunbar Grof is following in his brother's footsteps for dumb jokes. Webster Brown has gone back to his Senior. Elvin Hess and Clyde Keene are always with some girls. What have they got? Anna Thomas wants to be a nurse. To Herbert Hansen? Thomas Venable is still being re- fused a date by a sophisticated Senior. Roy Melvin is trying to get a date with a girl in 11C, but her boy friend has the situation well in hand. Fred Gray wants to be one of the Jones boys. John Shenton and Philip Shenton look so much alike, I guess they will marry twins. Alice Collins is going with Pinky. Oh pshaw! Who woulda thunk it? Meredith Marshall marries Dorothy Lee Brannock in the Senior play. So don't get jealous, Virginia Lee. A modern Knight danced with Marjorie McKnight one night. Who is he? A little girl like Dot Gould can start more fights between boys and girls. Gertrude Kahl likes Cupid ice cream. Josephine Todd, you better stop that hitch-hiking. Leonard Tall and Shirley Hard- ing are still seeing the world through love-sick eyes. Kitty Robbins with her Harvard Accent still lingers in the hall during class with Bill Shaw. Fred Fisher has a remarkable brain as well as an eye for a beau- tiful girl. A certain Senior girl wanted to take her Sopohomore boy friend to Washington. Shame on you, where is your Senior pride ? The Coach certainly loves soft- ball. Thank heavens somebody takes an interest in sports other than basketball. A teacher was going to sneak into the Community Fair, but backed out. Quitter! Did you see what I saw? Thomas Phillips with a girl. Ducky Spear and Miss Clark still have a lovely friendship. Calling Irene Lidard, calling Irene Lidard, don't give up hope. Your Don Juan will arrive some- time. , I think classes 11B and 11C should donate enough money to get 11A girls some baby toys. Cheer up. Alan, maybe she will let you take her to Hurlock again. When Web came back from the home of the G men in Wash- ington he said, I will never be a gangster now. Did Dick Wright get the Wright- Booze? I'm going to get drunk! Bushes, 'tNo you're not. When Meredith Marshall gradu- ates he is going to the wild and Willey West. Mr. Walter is most popular with students as well as Teacher , Can I be best man at the wed- ding, Sarah? Isn't it kind of cold in that open roadster, Marion? They tell me when Evelyn's boy friend takes her riding she has to pay half the gas. Naomi LeCompte, I did not know you lived in the country, but you must because you ride on the bus every morning. Why does a certain teacher go out picking dandelions? They make good Wine. Watch the heads swell after they see the fame column in the Hottentot . Bonnie and Anna Mae certainly practice a lot on that baby talk. Virginia Lee Willey, why so nervous ? He hasn't stood you up yet. I don't know a thing on Pauline Harris, and why should I? Isn't she a preacher's daughter? Emily Marine's only love is her piano. Gosh! Billy Applegarth is slow, carrying papers this long and hasn't found a charming maid yet. I saw Evelyn Brannock in the movies the other afternoon with a Senior. Remember what Mr. Crom- well said. Wake up, boys, Virginia Mills has no boy friend. Audrey Booze! What did you do on the Caterpillar at the Carnival? No wonder Louise Tyler is con- ceited because two chumps are pursuing her. Not mentioning Charles Slacum. In the similies you will find that Rhodessa Slacum is determined. To get whom, Elvin Hess? Virginia Sackett looks innocent, but is she? Why chaperone Dick and Audrey, Louise Burton? They don't need it. I guess Elizabeth Schnoor is con- tented with Shep because I have heard no complaints. Brotie Brotemarkle not only loves Mattie Brown, but himself as well. Why did you vote for yourself as best-looking? f'Joker Wheatley might not have a city girl, but I bet he has a country belle. What, cow bell? I believe Anna Jean Keene has finally closed a chapter in her life by shutting Bill Hughlett out of her heart. Here is a suggestion that only applies to a few. Why don't the girls disband? One Senior girl certainly is talka- tive. She told a girl that her boy friend had asked another girl for a date so that they would break up. Better stop that because he is wise to you. Lyda Booze asked a boy for a match. Wot'cha want that for? There's no smoking allowed in high school. We are wishing Thurston Apple- garth all the success in the world for himself and his orchestra. Wildai James has strongly up- held the duties of his various offices, but he also has a weakness. Anna Wheatley, is Hess 'fon duty today? We cannot write anything new about Betty Hugh Fountain. On whom has Olga Mark got her mind? She even marked herself absent one day. Lillian Hurley, haven't you made up with James JoeLouis Vickers? With whom are you going Vir- ginia Twilley? Mutt ? Why does Margaret West look at William Waller in shorthand? He won't leave vou. Grace Brannock Smith and Eddie Boy still visit Em's every after- noon. N.S.P.A. GIVES HOTTENTOT HONOR RATING fContinued from Page 3, Col. lj eighty-five points. Every depart- ment of the paper except one either stayed the same or increased, as compared to the rating of the Hottentot last year. This only goes to prove that the Staff of '36 does have talent and that it has been on the job. SPRING FEVER AND STUDIES There is a form of illness which is found in most people in the spring of each year. It attacks young and old alike. Usually this so-called illness makes one feel very good-it is known as spring fever. Although most people go around feeling fine when spring fever at- tacks the world, there is a group of humans who suffer greatly from it-the school children. This suf- fering is brought on by studies. These studies force the students into confinement when their hearts are somewhere else at play. Our friend, Tennyson, once wrote, In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. How true this is! One finds many young men Qschool teachers aren't exemptj who must study when they really want to be out somewhere absorbing some moon- light. It is the author's wish that the teachers of the world would ease up slightly in the homework which they usually deal out so liberally. I am not only expressing my own feelings but also the feelings of students the world over. In classrooms in the spring con- fusion reigns. Talking and moving about seems to be the main occupa- tion of many students. Many are punished for this, but it isn't their fault, it is just the natural reaction brought about by spring fever. Studies should be formed to suit the weather, especially when spring makes its appearance. I suggest that we, the students, get together and make some definite move, when we are old enough to vote, to pro- tect our posterity from this plague. HERBERT HANSEN, 11C. C. H. S. STUDENTS VISIT WASHINGTON fContinued from Page 1, Col. 11 Nelson.l After a two-hour jaunt the party emerged from the build- ing all ready for lunch. It was at this time that the group disbanded, some going to the Wash- ington Monument, some to the Smithsonian Institute, and others to the Zoo. At the Smithsonian Institute they met again and were taken to the Capitol, where they were met by Senator Radcliffe. After a brief welcoming speech from the Sena- tor, the C. H. S. students started for home. On the way various points of interest were discussed, with everyone expressing his opinion as to what he had enjoyed most on the trip. Everyone had a good time, and many are looking forward to another trip next year.
