He is sincere and has strength in the belief of his convic- tions. ALBERT ATKINSON Academic Never a dull moment with Fil- bert around with his incessant chatter and witty t'?l jokes. His knack of always having his assign- ments completed promptly and in good order and his affable nature are two of his better traits. WILLIAM BLADES Academic Originator and business manag- er of the Cheering Squad. Ping- pong king of C. H. S. CP. S. On his own boardl. He is jolly, good- natured, but he sticks up for his rights. BETTY BLOOM Commercial The party is never complete without Betty. Her hail fellow well met , winning way has gain- ed her many admirers and will greatly aid her through life. EDGAR BRANNOCK Academic Not large in stature but the pos- sessor of a 'tgift of gab large enough for two average persons, that's Poke , He delights in an- noying classmates and teachers alike. OLIVE IBRANNOCK Academic Olive is quiet but she has a hid- den sense of humor. She has al- ways entered into dramatics, and will, we know, make good if she de- cides to be a dramatics teacher. VIRGINIA BRANNOCK General Lena is another one of those happy-go-luckics hailing from Town Point. Her winning way and good-natured smile have won her a host of friends. ARCHIE BROOK S Commercial If you see a familiar figure wend- ing his way toward Preston you will know it's Archie, Woolford's delight. But no matter where you meet him you are sure to be greet- ed by a cheerful smile. ELLSWORTH BURTON Commercial So short he has to stand on a box to jerk sodas, yet he can boast of a winning' smile and foolish wise- cracks that keep you continuously laughing. ROSEMARY BYRN Academic Quiet and reserved-she studies hard. Easy to make friends with and a real good pal. That's our Rosie . JANE CARREAU Academic Janie is a new addition to our class, but her attractive personal- ity has already won her plenty of friends and put traffic on the now famous muddy lane . WILLIS CONOVER Academic This member of our class has ac- quired the polish of a gentleman of the world. Willis enjoys the finer things of life-artistic, eiiicient and capable describe him to a T. -F? ---vt-gf' ' F I s -,O'u THE HOTTENTOT is - -'nw' Page Three MARTHA CONWAY Commercial Martha is quiet and studious, al- ways ready to help others to patch things up. She wants to be a real- ly good nurse . Here's luck to you! ALBERT COOK Commercial Albert is a quiet boy who loves sports. He does not mingle with the girls. He is smart and ambi- tious in his school work and gets good marks. Albert will be a great success in the business world. VERNON COOKE General Inopportune remarks a 1 w a y s come from Cooky . He likes to talk and tease. A right good guy in spite of himself. BRICE CREIGHTON Commercial Brice, but a mere lad from Hoop- er's Island, came all the way to Cambridge High School to finish fwc hopej his last two years in school. He wants to be an accoun- tant, but I think he is going to be just a roaming troubadour . EVERETTE CREIGHTON Commercial Coonie , the harmonica wizard, has blown all of his cares away un- til he has nothing left but a beam- ing smile. Lots of luck in the mus- ical world. GRAYSON CREIGHTON Commercial If it's fun, enjoyment, and good humor you want, spend a little time with Gykes and you will laugh continuously. Carefree de- scribes him perfectly. HENRIETTA DASHIELL Academic Brilliant, quiet, and friendly- yes, that's our Hem-ly . She al- ways proved herself a friend in need at lunch time, for she never refused to loan a nickel to still- starved IV-A students. EDWIN DAYTON Commercial Leisure, wisecracks, fun and sleep -Ed's philosophy of life. He takes his own course, his own time, thinks his own thoughts and he of- ten sleeps. WINFIELD DEAN Commercial Sports, school work, and work outside of school hours, have taken Winiield's attention. Yet he has managed to do each successfully. SHIRLEY DILL Commercial Short, cute and mischievous, yes-that's our Shirley. Always ready to give aid, loves to play jokes and is popular with everyone. GEORGE ECKERT Commercial Look the whole world over you'll never find another one like George. He's one member of the class who wouldn't stay in one place if he could and we don't think he can. JACK EVANS ' Academic Jack is almost the noisiest boy in the senior class. He is always arguing on something he knows nothing about. His jokes are ter- rible, but he is liked by everyone. RUTH FAULKNER General The little girl with the big smile . Ruth loves to dance, and how! We hope that she succeeds in her ambition to be a nurse. IRVING GORDY Academic Student? Well! Athlete? Yes! Friend? Verily! A winning per- sonality? The best! In fact he is an all around good egg. A reg- ular C. H. S.'er. OLIVER GORE Academic Once in a while Oliver , but most of the time, just Gore . Al- though not an athlete, his slender stature and big smile can be de- tected at all athletic events. He goes about his tasks with a serious- ness and sincerity that gets them completed. SEWARD GRAY Commercial The Masked Singer of IV C and East Cambridge's Peck's Bad Boy , that's Maggie , He is certainly a surprise package. When asked to talk on the most interesting thing he had ever done, he chose Live for Sixteen Years . ELIZABETH GREER General Elizabeth is one of the few de- pendable and hard-working mem- bers of our class. We wonder how she turns in those well-written pa- pers long before the rest of us have started. PEARL HARGETT Commercial To the passing observer Shorty seems quiet and retiring. If she can not be found around the town you may be sure that she is at the movies. MACE HARPER Commercial When you feel downcast run right to Brick . If he can't cheer you up, your case is hopeless. His winning smile and modest blush will take him a long way. CARL HARPIJON Commercial Carl is a strange fellow. He works rather hard in his school work although he is a little slow in catching on. The women can cer- tainly inliuence Carl. Soon, may- be, Carl will find the type of work to which he is adapted. FLORENCE HIGGS Commercial Florence is one of the dependable and hard-working pupils of IV C. She hopes to be a good typist, and we all wish her the best of luck. WILLIAM HOGAN Academic He has a walk like a loafer, but he isn'tg a head of black hair, a ready smile-that's Bill . A real example of what southern hospi- tality means, makes him our southern gentleman- Yes suh . .. ELDRIDGE HORNER Commercial At a glance El seems to be a very quiet sort of fellow. He is al- ways quite Wright and is real- ly a fine friend. He's a good old guy with a ready smile. HILDA HUBBARD Commercial Hilda is a fine friend and a good sport who goes into everything with her heart and soul and a ready smile. To be successful in business is Hilda's ambition. VEACH HURLEY Academic An exceptionally fine student. Always cooperating in all subjects. His puns are side splitters and his love for swing is great. MARIE HURST Comme1'cial One never catches Marie step- ping out the night before a quiz. No sir! She's got something worthwhile under that auburn mass plus a personality and a kind helpful way. ANNA RUTH JONES Commercial Fun-loving and gay are the best words to describe Anna Ruth. She longs to work in an oflice. Well, we have a suspicion that that's not all she wants to do. JOHN PAUL JONES ' Commercial The tall, devil may care boy you see sitting in the Hottentot room every morning selling papers and pencils is none other than John Paul, himself. He is noted for the dumb jokes he tells. JUNE JONES Commercial June has a perfect disposition which never allows her to become rufiled, upset or angry. She is one of thc best natured persons we know. RALPH KINNAMON Commercial Tiny has a contagious laugh, and his appreciation of jokes may be heard all through the school. To nim high school has been one sweet song. WILLIAM LANGRALL Academic Bill is certainly a Lady Kill- er . It must feel good not to have to work hard in school. Bill must oe rather smart because he never seems to work hard. He is always bubbling over with laughter and jokes. Some day Bill is going places. ELIZABETH LeCOMPTE General Libby is a very quiet and friendly girl, who studies all the time. Everybody will agree when we say she's a real pal . GERALDINE LeCOMPTE Commercial A very talkative senior who's fond of going to Easton. She has also taken a sudden interest in baseball-we wonder why! JOHN LICHTI Academic John usually brings up the tech- nical point of View in everything. He is new think he schooling . at the school and we is prejudiced against BERNARD MACKELL General During his two years stay in C. H. S. he has made many friends be- cause of his excellent qualities as a conversationalist. Salt Water is most advanced on the topic of Pittsburgh. MILTON MALKUS Academic This husky country lad has made good in C. H. S. both as a scholar and an athlete. He is a good-na- tured fellowg quiet and neat. RAYMOND MARSHALL Academic The go-between for the girls, with an eye for scandal. Some of his antics in class would make excellent comic strips. Many girls think him cute . SEWELL MATTHEWS Academic Popular, athletic, this is Sewy , soccer captain, and member of bas- ketball squad. His running at the State Field Meet proved that he is one of the best high school run- ners in this state. 4,0 - . Page Four THE I-IOTTENTOT 13,4 JAMES MARSHALL Commercial Jimmie has struggled through all four years in a more nonchalant manner than most of us have been able to master. Athletics and studies combined, have held his at- tention. ROBERT MELVIN Commercial Bob our blond hero is still a rival of Clark Gable. At sports he has succeeded where others have failed. He will become a mil- lionaire playboy IF he marries a rich heiress. AUGUSTA MERRICK Academic A petite brunette, she wants to be a good nurse . Her personali- ty will take her far in every work. But PULLEASE don't call her Gussy . RUSSELL MESSICK Commercial Muzz will be remembered for his individual laugh. He is the lady killer of all times, the idol of them all. At sports he slightly slipped but he will make the grade someday. AUGUST MEYER Commercial July is a typical farmer boy. Sometimes he stays home to shoot rabbits. Gosh, he is cute with his red hair and freckles. You al- ways know when he is around al- though he is a little bashful. When he gets along a little farther in life he will get over being bashful. RUSSELL MILLS Commercial Jolly, helpful and energetic- that is Millsie , president of the senior class. He gets around with the ladies quite a bit too. As an engineer he will succeed, if he doesn't fall off the foundation. REBA MILLS Commercial Reba is quiet and studious. Al- ways willing to help her class- mates. This type of attitude will bring her much success. NAOMI MILLS Commercial Naomi is a quiet and friendly student. To her, in her future as a stenographer, good luck! VIRGINIA MILLS Commercial Ginny, the silent, goes about her work not minding it in the least, but just considering it an every day happening. Quiet and helpful, and a true-to-life picture of an old-fashioned girl. FREDDY MOWBRAY General Small, quiet, and cute will de- scribe Freddy in all his power. He was nicknamed Fish Hook by Mr. Koch. Whenever there is a dull moment in the classroom Fish Hook can always liven things up a bit with his cheery ways. MARGARET MOWBRAY Commercial Three years has this damsel been playing basketball. She's our idea of a typical American girl- that's Skizz1e g pride and joy of C. H. S. athletic fans. BLONDY MURPHY Commercial B1ondy's ambition is to become a nurse. Her endurance and pa- tience will help her to accomplish much in this field. BAYNE NEILD Academic Bayne is our idea of a modern Socrates. He is usually very quiet and his willingness to work hard will afford for him a great future. FREDERICK NEWCOMB Commercial Likable and very popular with the ladies. Fred, so named, Dopey is always on the laugha- ble end of dopey jokes. He is also a rival of all boys for their girls. ARNOLD NICHOLS Academic Tall, neat, and athletic are three adjectives that best describe Nick . We admire him for his good sportsmanship both on and off the athletic field. ELLIS ORR Commercial Ellis, the school electrician, doesn't seem to find it difiicult do- ing his lessons and 'tending to the sound system at the same time. He is vice-president of the senior class and managing editor iand how he can managel of the Hot- tentot. WINNIE BELLE PATTISON General Winnie is very popular and well liked by us all. Very often she may be found in a corner giving advice to the lovelorn . EDWARD PETERS Academic Ed is probably the best all around student this school has seen for some time. He has done a fine job of editing the Hottentot this past year and his desire to enter West Point will in all probability be granted. LILLIAN PETERSON Commercial We will remember those crazy remarks that she has made in Eng- lish classes to get everybody gig- ling. We will miss this neat little lassie with every strand of hair al- ways in place. PAULINE PIKE Academic Polly has northern charm, straight from Massachusetts. Her generous gifts to art in C. H. S. will serve as a starting point when she sketches her way up the lad- der as an artist. ROBERT PIKE General A Yank at Cambridge , not Ox- ford. Robert is one of the few si- lent numbers in '38 and our idea of general efficiency. His is a de- lightful personality. MARGARET PINK Commercial Margaret succeeds in everything she attempts. Quiet and never un- tidy. Never early, but always just on time. FREDERICK PRITCHETT Commercial Freddie is known as Donald Duck to the girls, but just as Public Nuisance No. 1 to the boys. His neat appearance and slick hair have the people wonder- ing. MARGRET RICHARDSON Academic Blond and blue-eyed -- every- body's friend. A good athlete and a better dancer. She can blush, too, but you have to know his name. ANNETTE ROBBINS Academic She was voted as the noisiest girl in IVAg our Annette will live up to her reputation if her ambi- tion as a singer is realized. LLOYD ROBBINS Commercial Lloyd is not very big, but he can attract attention. When baseball season rolls around Lloyd is not to be found. He has a way of making people like him and soon wins them over. Here's to Luck, Lloyd, in your future baseball career. VERNON ROBBINS Commercial Vernon is a fine fellow. He turned down a school in the city so he could graduate from Old Cam- bridge High. He is ambitious and earns his own money. Wishing you the best of luck in the business world, Vernon. RADCLIFFE ROBERSON Commercial His bright red hair and broad grin attracts the attention of the girls, and his gay personality has won him many friends. We only hope you can keep those friends, Radcliffe, because they are the best things a person can have. HAROLD ROBINSON General Want a ride? or May I have this dance? have been by words of Cabbage , If you did the first it would be in his Fordg the second with one of the school's best dan- cers. MARGUERITE SCHAFFNER General Edna has a perfect disposition and is the modest violet type. She is very sweet, and we all will miss her quiet, unassuming ways. LEROY SEWARD General A boy who has thoughts and who doesn't fail to express them. Pee Wee has been saying just what he has thought ever since we have known him. MARGARET SEWARD Academic She will undoubtedly be a prize winner in all handicraft clubs, and her domestic qualities will win her fame as a housewife. MARIE SEWARD Commercial Marie's jolly manner has won her many a friend. She has a quick temper but her jolly manner neutralizes this fault. HELEN SHENTON Commercial A smile for everyone is her motto. If you need a little en- couragement, page Helen. She is always ready to help whether the task be big or small. ELEANOR SHORTER Academic Eleanor is characterized by her fluent speech and clever expres- sions. She is a true friend to those who are not inclined to prefer baby talk and non-humorous jokes. MARGARET SLACUM . Commercial One of our school's best dancers wants to be a teacher. We wish you luck, Margaret, in getting 2- position and hope it will be near the naval base. NORMAN SMITH General Tall, dark and good-looking. He is very popular with his classmates and with the brothers of the Order of DeMolay. When characteris- tics were being passed out, Smit- ty received some of the best. WINIFRED SMITH Commercial Winnie , that good-natured girl of IV B. Winifred Cher more dig- nified titlel has a host of friends, all of whom wish her success in her one ambition, nursing. THE HOTTENTOT Page Five CARLTON SPEDDEN ATTENDANCE CHAMP Commercial SENIOR HALL OF FAME Carlton entered our class dur- ing our sophomore year in high school, and has won for himself intimate friends. With his back-1 ground of farming, he can always hand out expert information. BETTYE STEWART Commercial She looks exactly as we have al- ways thought the perfect lady should look-Sophistication, poise, dignity and a neverfailing sense of humor-that's Bettye. GOLDY TALL General Dr. Rhythm prescribed him with swing, but sometimes Goldey takes a double dose. May his pathetic excuses always get him out of his many scrapes. FREDERICK THOMAS Commercial Artistic, sincere, and athletic are three adjectives which describe Fred , He says his main hobby is acting, but we all think it's danc- ing. But tell us, Fred, how do you do it? GEORGE TODD Commercial The same yesterday, today and forever . Nothing seems to disturb him in the slightest. No, Nettie is not lazy, he's only dreaming. I wonder what. JOHN TRAVERS Commercial Good-looking, night owl, and Ro- meo. Wherever there is a city, vil- lage or town, one can always find a group of girls that go with or have gone with John. If there is a city where he doesn't have a girl it is strictly no men allowed , or else there are no girls in the township. ELIZABETH TRICE Academic Full of fun and wise-cracks. Libby is popular with all who know her. She likes swing mu- sic , has a good voice and hopes to be warbling on a coast to coast net- work some day. JACK TWYMAN General Only a year for Jack in C. H. S. but he has made good use of it. He has been outstanding in dramatics. He is Robert Taylor of IV A and for IV C. OLIVE VINTON General Olive is intent upon her own af- fairs.

DOROTHY WEEDON Commercial Dot is a most contradictory person. She is easily embarrassed, but self-confident. She likes most people and likes to have people around her. LAURAETTA WILSON Commercial We see her every day slipping in and out of the Library and her classes. We'll agree, when she says her time is about taken. ROSABELLE WILSON Commercial Unusually quiet for a female. She wants to be an artist. IVith her pen in hand, we predict she'll sketch her way successfully through life.

DUKE WILLIS ' Academic Duke is a newcomer from our neighbo1'ing state, DelawaI'e. He has applied himself to his studies and has made a favorable impres- sion upon both classmates and teachers. JUNIOR'S FAREWELL TO SENIORS Goodbye Seniors goodbye! We could offer a very tearful farewell with sobs in our voices and salty tears. But we won'tl We will just say it's been lots of fun fol- lowing you, after all we have fol- lowed you. When we were seventh graders you were freshmen. And what freshmen-you may gaze ra- ther disdainfully at the noisy bunch of shrimps this year but you were just as noisy and just as shrimpy, too. When you were sophomores, mighty sophomores , Carlton Spedden Carlton Spedden, senior, has at- tended school for eleven years with- out missing a day. All the way from Cook's Point to Hudson Ele- mentary School for seven years without a miss was something to be proud of, but when he went four years more at Cambridge High School, covering the distance be- tween Cook's Point and Cambridge High School by bus, without a miss, that is something to be hon- ored for. we were freshmen-and you made sure that we were properly im- pressed by the fact. We didn't mind though, because next year we were sophomores, but then you started going to all the dances, while we looked in through the win- dows. You began to be sophisti- cated, we were mere infants, did- n't know a thing. You knew you were never that dumb. You just couldn't have been. You had study periods, too, and you gazed disdainfully from the li- brary and other rooms, at us wild- ly pursuing a basketball or march- ing in squads in the auditorium. But we didn't mind that either, be- cause the next year'we were jun- iors and had study periods, and ventured cautiously to all the dan- ces where you captured all the limelight, and left us in the shad- ows. We don't care, we liked the shadows anyway, and we think the sophomores are dumb and the freshmen the noisiest yet. You don't know how much fun it has been following you, laughing at your sometimes, and feeling proud of you, too. Please make us keep proud of you. Next year we will be seniors and will know just how you feel so we wish you all the luck in the world. Bye Now.

THE EDITOIFS I AREWEI.l. TO HIS PAPER Two years is a long time for us to be together, but now our union cemes to a close. We have worked hard to make something of our- selves, haven't we? XVe succeeded though and that is all that really matters. You are in second class now. old pal. No more third class for you. Keep your chin up though or else our labors won't come to much. It isn't so much the fight itself that counts, it's the training and the building-up before that real- ly matters. My time is up. you know that. You've seen others come and go before this, but your job lasts on anvl your time is not limited. It's been fun working with you. old pal, but it's been work, too. You are a hard master and a fine teacher. Some one else IS coming in to take my place now and you start with an entirely new crew. They're all hardy sailors, old ship, and you'll ride through all kinds of weather. but if your course is care- fully charted you need have no fear and with a fast farewell and best wishes. an editor says Good- bye to his paper. EDWARD PETERS, Editor of the Hottentot. HOTT ENTOT BANQU ET When there are to be bigger and better banquets and dances, the Hottentot staff will sponsor them. On the night that all exams were over, Friday, May 20, members of the two staffs, Junior and Senior, were treated to a hard earned treat. For an entire year the promise of a banquet had loomed over us, sometimes as a threat, sometimes a promise,-a promise of a dinner and dance if we wo1'ked hard, a threat that we would not have one, if we shirked. VVe had it! As usual, Essie's cooking was enjoyed, and by about seventy-five members, sponsors and guests. Even the menu was a lit- tle different this year for we were treated to baked chicken and all the necessary fixings. At the close of the meal Edward Peters, editor-in-chief, charmingly 'fdid himself proud as he congrat- ulated the staH:s and passed on some necessary tools to next year's editor, George Orr. There follow- ed George's acceptance and a few other timely remarks made by ad- visors and staff workers. The surprise of the evening came when some members of the Junior staff satirized the graduating members in three scenes-a meet- ing of the staff before the paper went to press, a meeting preparing for the banquet, and the banquet itself. The Seniors and advisors took it all in fun and laughed with and at themselves, as portrayed by Jean Brotemarkle, Virginia Hobbs. Eleanor Moore, Bertha Keplinger, George Orr, Billy Evans, Wallace Willey and Irwin Feldman. Having' had much too much to eat fhow about it Edward?J and plenty of fun, everyone moved up to the auditorium or dashed out af- ter their partners for the dance. Then instead of having to dance to the tune of canned music, there was real swing as played for us by Hal Marquess' orchestra. A big' event? One of the biggest and best in our whole school calen- dar. Vive la Hottentotl i Q.T fi EXCHANGE As exchange editor of the Hot- tentot Staff, I wish to thank those papers who have exchanged with us during this school year. All papers received were interesting and helpful to us. Next year we hope to still see you on our list. EVERETTE CREIGHTON, Exchange Editor. very l'RONl A BIG Sllt'f'ESS Dad may I have the car? But I just gotta' have it to go to the Prom. Those were familiar words heard on the eve' of the year's biggest event, the Junior- Senior Prom, held on the night of June 3. Blue and gold, class colors fschool colors alsoj almost made us believe that we were spending June week at the Naval Academy. This gay festooning had all been decoratively arranged under the supervision of Bill Robbins and his faithful followers. Lights were dim but fiattering to the pretty co-eds who waltzed or trucked between the portals of old C. H. S. Nor were the admir- ing partners to be outdone, for they were also attired in all their finery of white fiannels and palm beach suits. The fioor was a kaleidoscope of color, pastel blues, pinks, yellows, and greens. So the seniors had an evening of swing and sway , not Sammy Kaye but one of the Eastern Sh0re's best-Hal Marquess and his popular orchestra. THE HGTTENTOT Page Seven Class History Though the future looms before us, a shining pathway to our dreams come true, it is to the past our thoughts return and we review with a smile and a sigh the happy, carefree schooldays that are so nearly a part of our memories. Never before has school seemed so dear and hard to leave and never have the events of our school life stood out so very clearly. Who, who has ever been a senior can forget the days when he was a freshman? On that September morning in '34 the bell at Cam- bridge High rang in some of the most frightened specimens of young Americans ever to behold an institution of learning. In fact, we were so frightened we all crept in the back doors. Those majestic columns in the front seemed to be sentincls guarding the front door and seniors alone could brave their hauteur. Soon enough, however, that timidity gave way to curiosity and the freshies had their noses in everything trying to find out just why it was there. Entering with us that year were several alumni, coming back as teachers. Miss Mabel Wright re- turned as a teacher of English and dramatics, and also in the English department was Miss Helen Doen- ges. New members of the mathe- matics department were Miss Ellen Byrn and Mr. James Busick. Lat- er in the year Miss Estelle Leonard was with us in the place of Miss Dorothy Noble, and Mr. Theodore Boston in the place left by Miss Rosabelle Gould. The entire freshman class had learned to love Miss Mills, our li- brarian and teacher, not only as an instructor, but as a friend. She seemed to care about each and every one of her pupils as a per- son, and endeared herself to the freshmen who were so anxious to be considered as important person- alities. Her death, in the spring of that year was one of the saddest events in our school life. So, our freshman year passed, with its sad moments and also its gloriously happy ones. We had made some impression on the school in both the scholastic and athletic fields, but our greatest vic- tories were to come in the follow- ing years. Vacation days were nearly overg as sophomores we were prepared to accomplish things. And then one morning the fire siren rang, clear and long. It was our high school building. In a few minutes our books, equipment, and building were a mass of charred coals. In three days school was scheduled to start. Where would we have class- es? That was the question upper- most in everyone's mind. After much deliberation, it was decided that the walls of Seminary could be stretched to house us. From attic to basement we swarined from 8.30 until 5.30. That year every class in high school and every class in the Seminary proved just how well it could adjust itself to any situa- tion. Though we were cramped for space, perhaps the very experi- ence made us realize the value of our new school building. As sophomores we felt we really had an active part in the doings we had watched from the bleachers last year. Every one of us tried to make our second year worthwhile. Many took part in all athletic and scholastic events on our limited cal- endar. - Again the faculty had changed and we found Mr. Raymond Sim- mons, Mr. Edward Walter, Miss Ella Barkley, Mrs. Eleanor Willis Fox, and later Mrs. Bonnie Harmon among our teachers. It was only through excellent co- operation between the teachers and pupils that the school year of 1935- 36 was a success. We romped through another va- cation, hoping fervently that our new school building would be ready to open in September. It wasn't quite finished but we entered, now full-fledged upper-classmen. How proud we were of our new school with its new slippery Hoors, its in- direct lighting, and its loudspeaker system. How diligently we twisted to get into our lockers, improved with combination locks. Though our first few weeks of classes were spent in a pell-mell of hammering and banging, we were rewarded for our earstrain when Mr. Crom- well complimented the student body upon its cooperation with the work- men in the building. Last year, a new system of lunch- ing was put into the schedule at Cambridge High. Instead of al- lowing the whole school to eat at twelve o'clock, as in previous years, only those who happened to be on the first iioor went to lunch at twelve. The other poor mortals dragged their steps upward to wait another hour. Scholastic records were made in our junior year. A new honor roll system was installed and many jun- iors' names were listed Some very few even attained the heights of all A's. Many juniors took part in the annual spelling contest sponsored by Goldey College, and the team en- tered by Cambridge High was for- tunate enough to win first honors. For the first time, the juniors really blossomed in the athletic events. Several juniors were mem- bers of our shore championship soccer and basket-ball teams. Cam- bridge High placed first in the an- nual Dorchester County field meet, and also in the field meet held at Salisbury. Juniors were the proud possessors of many new records. With spring came commence- ment, the last commencement we would witness before we were the actors in the pageant. Just three short months and we had returned as seniors, fully prepared to do jus- tice to our dignified position. For the third time the faculty had changed. New faces in the teachers' gallery were Miss Paul- ine Hirst, our new art teacher, Miss Lucille Hurley, in the music department, and Miss C l eon a Brinsfield to fill the vacancy left by Mrs. Fox. As in former years, the seniors had the advantages in school. Ours were the choicest seats in the audi- torium. We published the school paper and led the way for the other classes. We entered our senior year realizing that, though we were seniors and had senior privileges, we had much to learn. Strangely enough we also remembered we had once been freshies and did not worry this year's group too much. When the athletic season opened with soccer, the senior boys turned out strong. Though their team was not the most victorious the school has ever knovsm, it will be remembered for its sportsmanship. Not satisfied with athletic: prow- ess alone, the seniors tried as never before to get their names on the honor roll for scholastic ability. The fall passed away into winter and the New Year was here. We were beginning to worry about mid-year exams, when a voice from heaven, Mr. Cromwell's to be exact, announced -that there would be none. Never was a happier mes- sage brought to our ears, but we wondered why he waited until we were seniors to begin the good work. With exams so easily disposed of we could more readily enjoy the peak of the basketball season. Game after game was tossed off by our boys and girls and they were crowned Eastern Shore Champs. Then for Cumberland, and alas, for defeat. But it was a glorious de- feat. Our boys showed their good sportsmanship by presenting the opposing team with some of the largest fish their landlubber eyes had ever beheld. In the meantime, though, Cam- bridge High had changed princi- pals. Mr. Cromwell had been ap- pointed State Supervisor of Educa- tional Guidance, a new department in Maryland's educational field. In his place stepped our vice-principal and the boys' peppery coach, Mr. Emmett Andrews. Though the whole school regretted to see Mr. Cromwell leave, we gave Mr. An- drews a big hand as our new prin- cipal and sincerely admired the smoothness with which he ran our school. He no longer could fill his duties as coach and biology teach- er, so Mr. Walter and Mr. Busick became coaches and Mr. Robert Vincent came as the teacher of sophomore biology. Spring slipped upon us, and found us unaware of the fact that autumn had passed. Soon we were posing for our senior pictures, and attending our senior play. June week was here and over in a twink- ling and we found ourselves pos- sessors of a diploma, neatly tied with white ribbon. Though that diploma may show to the world that its owner has acquired four years of knowledge within the walls of Cambridge High School, it cannot show the world our memories of those four years. Those memories. more than our diplomas will keep fresh in our hearts our high school days. May our futures be as glor- iously worthwhile and happy as our four short years at Cambridge High. Eleanor Shorter, Class Historian, '38. CLASS SONG By Willis Conover, Jr. fTune: Thanks for the Memories J Thanks for the memories Of cokes we sipped at Ted's, Tennis courts and Keds, And evenings when at half ten We tucked into our beds- How lovely it was! Thanks for the memories Of homework left undone, Movies by the ton, And cigarettes we smoked on bets And startled everyone- How lovely it was! You never bothered to question How I'd get additional money, But, really, dear, it wasn't funny. You took my dough, And let it fiow, But thanks for the memories Of dances at the school- I acted like a fool, And even now I wonder how You managed to keep cool. Yes, thank you so much. past PaH9EiEht THE I-IOTTENTOT Class Prophecy The White House, June 10, 1962. Dear John Paul: I certainly was pleased to hear that you got the job of building the New York Monument. I also hear that the Electrical Engineer of your Contracting firm is Ellis Orr, our old Prof. Moo. I am very glad that he turned out to be some- thing. Do you remember the President of our class? Well, Millsy is run- ning you a little competition in the Engineering world. He has just received a contract to build a dam across the mouth of the Chop- tank River. to harness power for the new Dill pickle factory opening up in Oxford soon. I was down town this morning and got the surprise of my life when I looked into Messick's Book Store Window. I saw a book writ- ten by Bill Langrall, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion, entitled Where is the Crimin- al? You know, since that guy has been the head of the FBI the prisons have been full, and the crime rate has decreased rapidly according to Warden Burton of Sing Sing. Another book was Around the World on Wheels by Albert Cook, the great Arctic Ex- plorer and writer. It is a book on his travels around the world in a truck, via the North Pole. I went down to Meyer's Casino the other night and saw the floor show which featured Bettye Stew- art and her Royal Dancers. Also featured was Dukeo Williso, the great magician, not a thing could hold him. He is better known as Duck , Among the notable per- sonages there, whom I knew were: Anna Ruth Jones, the New York Socialite and wife of the million- aire playboy Count Looeyg Fred Pritchett and Lloyd Robbins, the owners of the We-Gyp-Ya Insur- ance Companyg and Annette Rob- bins, the mother of the lovelorn. One swell picture you don't want to miss if it comes to New York is Eldridge's new picture You're Mine , with Betty Bloom as the leading lady and Mary Wright, the comedian. Have you heard the new Gore Ra- dio Theatre on WWNN? It just started last week and it is some- thing like the Lux Theatre we used to hear when we were in High School. The Chase 8x Catch Coffee Variety Show, on the same station, is good now, too. It features Au- gusta Merrick, the famous singer, George Eckert, comedian, Goldy Tall and his orchestra and people who talk on various vocations. This week Brice Creighton is to talk on the subject of Accounting. Brice and Carl opened an accounting school when they graduated from night school and now have a very successful business. Talking about schools, it seems that quite a few of our old class- mates opened up schools for their various trades, for instance: the Pike-Thomas School of Art, the Robinson-Patterson School of Dancing, the Higgs Secretarial School. All of these schools are very successful. I bought a Fuller Brush last week and I bet you don't know who from. Fred Newcomb. He likes to travel and he is some salesman, too. I saw George Todd's Baseball Team play the other day, and they are what you would call cool jobs . George certainly did progress after joining the Cambridge Cardinals in 1941. I met Mace Harper on the street yesterday and he's just as red as ever. He's working as private sec- retary to Mr. I. Spark, the Radio magnate. He says that he saw Jack Twyman and Jack Evans last month and that they are still work- ing in Twyman's Refinery. I read where Willis Conover is to take over the announcing job of WWNN next week to become the best head announcer of the Nation- al Broadcasting System. I went back to Cambridge last month to visit Raymond Marshall. Raymond is now the president of the Marshall Dog Food Factory. I also saw Milton Malkus, the head of the Malkus Sugar Refinery and his private secretary, Martha Con- way. Cambridge has certainly grown since Edward Peters has been Mayor, he has made things hum around, down there. Do you remember Virginia Bran- nock? She has taken over the High Spot and has remodeled it. It takes up the whole block now and it has a flat roof for dancing at night under the stars. She calls it Jinny's Casino . Some place! You know, old Vernon Robbins has himself a job at the Continal Can Co. as private secretary to the old boss, himself? Curly certain- ly has gone up the ladder of fame, or has he? His business has fall- en off, though, since the Brooks Co. has been putting food up in pill form. Archie got the idea when trying to make hot food without cooking it. These Mills girls have started a restaurant and have a very' good business. They have the select so- ciety as patrons but anyone can go in if he won't feel embarrassed. Reba, Naomi and Virginia are the featured singers in the floor show there each week. Arnold Nichols is giving a concert at the Lyric next week with Ruth Dashiell at the piano. That team has certainly reached the peak of concert fame. Also at the Lyric this week is the Quartet we used to hear back in Cambridge, you'll remember them, Patricia White, Mary Louise Willey, Eliza- beth Trice and Margaret Richard- son. Edwin Dayton has opened a de- partment store down town next to Melvin's Sport Shop. He certainly has a big time for his opening day. Elizabeth LeCompte's B e a u t y Shoppe is right down the street, too. I hear that Marie Hurst has the position of head Nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She certainly went places fast. And so did Rosemary Byrn, she's now the national head of the Girl Scouts of America. William Hogan and Veach Hur- ley joined hands right after they graduated from college and started an airplane business. They make gliders. Bill Blades is their test pilot, and some daredevil, too! Albert Atkinson has at last a business of his own. He owns the Atkinson Meat Market down in Cambridge. Bernard Mackell has started a canning house in Madison and is putting up canned corned beef. He has quite a business. Vlliniield Dean has a transporta- tion company down in Cambridge. He calls it the Dean Transferey and hauls anything from an inch to a mile. A few of our old classmates went right into the teaching career. They were Margaret Mowbray, who is teaching Physical Education to the girls, Marie Seward, who is teach- ing Typing, Margaret Slacum who is teaching P. O. D., Edward Asp- len, who is teaching Agriculture and Gykes Creighton, the princi- pal of Cambridge High. He re- ceived his position through ac- quaintance with the Governor, John Capone, brother of Al. Helen Shenton and Norma War- ner went right into secretarial work when they graduated. Helen is working as private secretary to Radcliffe Roberson, the president of the Goodpoor Rubber Co. and Norma is working as private sec- retary to Norman Smith, Assistant Secretary of the Navyg both are doing very well. Do you remember old Sewey Mathews, who used to run the 440 and win with such ease? Well, he is now the promoter of athletic events at Madison Circle Garden and is doing very well, too. He promoted the fight between Edgar Brannock and Muggsy. Edgar won, of course, and is now light heavyweight champion of Cam- bridge. Carlton Spedden and John Trav- ers have opened themselves a din- er on the outskirts of Cambridge and have a very good business there. Seward Gray turned out to be a nature lover after all. He has opened up a camp on the Choptank and has quite a crowd there each summer. Leroy Seward and Vernon Cooke opened a dude Ranch as soon as they graduated from college. That's where you ought to spend your va- cation this summer. The Wilson sisters, Lauraetta and Rosabelle, opened a stationery shop on High Street where the old Banner Office used to be. The Ban- ner moved, you know, after Jimmy Marshall and Fred Mowbray took it over. flt had to.J Dot Weedon and Winny Smith are secretaries to the law firm of Gordy and Neild. Irving and Bayne became famous when they discovered the documents giv- ing Roslyn Wheeler the entire es- tate of her uncle. Roslyn worked a while as a waitress, but I guess she's through work now. We had four classmates to go di- rectly to the stage, they were Vir- ginia Wright, Dramatistg Bettye Mae Wright, Make-up artist: Olive Brannock, Dramatistg and Marga- ret Seward, singer. Eleanor Shorter and Margaret Pink are touring the country to- gether giving lectures about spell- ing and shorthand, respectively. Marguerite Schaffner, Olive Vinton, and Wilsie Willey have been doing very well at their jobs of reporting for the New York Times. Marguerite and Wilsie are sports reporters while Olive writes an Etiquette column. You ought to read it, it'll do you good. June Jones and Geraldine Le- Compte have opened their chain of beauty parlors over the eastern part of the U. S. KI must remem- ber to have my hair set.J Those who did not go out into the world but settled down and married are Ruth Faulkner, Eliza- beth Greer, Pearl Hargett, Hilda Hubbard and Lillian Peterson. lThey were bright.D fContinued to page 9, Col. 2J --.-.-rew- THE HOTTENTOT Page Nine MR. CROMWELUS EFFICIENCY LEADS TO NEW POSITION Clnfoi-mation from THE DAMILY BANNER? About the middle of this past school year Cambridge High School lost one of the best principals it has ever had. Mr. R. Floyd Crom- well, for five and one half years principal of Cambridge High and an active Hottentot staff member, resigned his position as principal to take over the new duties of State Supervisor of Educational and Vocational Guidance, starting on February lst. Mr. Cromwell has been connected with the Maryland Public School System since his graduation from Western Maryland College, and has been active in both the State Teachers Association and the Na- tional Education Association. Be- fore coming to Cambridge he had served as principal of the Western Maryland Preparatory School, prin- cipal of the Tracey's Landing School in Anne Arundel County, principal of the Upper Marlboro High School, Prince George's Coun- ty, and the principal of the Bruns- wick High School, Frederick Coun- ty. He has done graduate work at the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maine, and Harvard University. For the past six years, Mr. Cromwell has been chairman of the Legislative Committee of the State Teachers' Association. It was this committee that secured the restor- ation of the teachers' salary cuts. He has also served as vice president of the State Association, and for two years he has been a member of the Legislative Committee of the National Education Association. This national committee is made up of eleven members from all sec- tions of the United States. During the five and a half years he has been in Cambridge, Mr. Cromwell has taken a very active part in community affairs. He has served as chairman of the Recrea- tional Council which is now func- tioning in Cambridge. He was al- so president of the County Teach- ers Association for two years, and has been very active in the Cam- bridge Rotary Club. For the past two years he has served as pro- gram chairman of the Club. Mr. Cromwell made countless changes and improvements during the time when he was principal. The curriculum has been greatly enlarged and a Core Curriculum for all first year students has been provided. Our High School is the only high school on the Eastern Shore which follows this system.

Cromwell was instrumental in adding Physical Education, Art, Vocational Guidance, and Post- Graduate work to the High School courses as well as advanced courses in Biology and English. The Post- Graduate courses have proved ex- ceptionally helpful to students who have been unable to attend colleges and business schools. Mr. Cromwell accomplished a great deal of constructive work for both the High School and the com- munity and though we are pleased about his advancement, we truly regret losing him as a citizen of Cambridge, as a fellow Staff mem- ber, and as Our Principal. ..-.l.,l CLASS PROPHECY fCont. from page 8, Col. 45 Jane Carreau and Henrietta Da- shiell decided they liked the air so they both became airline steward- esses. Blondy Murphy started out as a dietitian but she lost so much weight she's now the thin girl in Kinnamon and Pike Circus now touring the good old Eastern Shore. That is all that I could find out about our old classmates of '38, MAY THEY LIVE FOREVER! You1's truly, President of the United States, Everette Creighton, Jr. WILL OF '38 We, the senior class of Cam- bridge High School, Cambridge, Maryland, do make this our last will and testament to be executed as such by the proper legal auth- orities. After payment of all our just debts and graduation expenses we duly bequeath our worldly posses- sions as follows: Item I-To future classes we leave our new principal, Mr. An- drews, and trust that they will take care of him as well as we have. fAnd vice-versai. Item 2-To next year's seniors we hereby leave the good times and grand fun which we had as seniors to be enjoyed by them. Item S-A few of the individual members of our class do variously leave the following to individuals of the junior class: Bayne Neild's scholastic ability and good nature to Raymond Ingalls, Irving Gor- dy's proficiency in sports and clas- sic features to Harold Sheets, Mar- garet Mowbray's athletic prowess to Agnes Foxwell, Errol Pritch- ett's ability to ride a rippling wreck around as well as a car to Ben Linthicum, fErrol's car ought to leave a will too-it has died so many timesl, Pauline Pike's artis- try to Helen Lichti, Cabbage Robinson's female admirers to be distributed among the junior boys fand if there are any left over you sophomores may have some tool. fCont. to pag'e 15, Col. 21 THREE DAYS OF GRACIE Mr. Everette Pillsbury Pancake, after observing the senior class play, Three Days of Gracie , de- cided to go backstage and congrat- ulate the participants. Opening the stage door he is just in time to see the stage electrician, Ellis Orr, leaving the school through the back exit. He is greet- ed by Miss Wright, dramatic in- structor who supervised the pro- duction of the play, and who learns from our critic that our perfor- mance was a huge success. Little Mr. Pancake demanded to meet all the members of the cast. Miss Wright, happy to oblige him, called Virginia Wright who played Gracie Warner, a college girl of nineteen, from her dressing room. Virginia was congratulated on her excellent leading performance and her deep affection for her pet dog, Bijou. Next in line came Winnie Belle Pattison for her perfect interpreta- tion of Phillipa Waring, Gracie's roommate. It seemed as though this part was written especially for Winnie. Pillsbury next met Mary Louise Willey, who gave a top perfor- mance of a stern old maid of forty- five or fifty, Miss Kate Waring. i Next in line to receive honors was Janet Waring, an excellent character, whose role was played by Helen Shenton, who, contrary to her sister Kate's wishes, turned the tables on the college girls by marrying the handsome young doctor, whose part was played equally as well by Jack Twyman. Eliie, spying a new male face on the stage, immediately went to work on her next victim, Pillsbury Pancake, and soon had Miss Wright's job of escorting the young gentleman about the set. Hearing loud commotion over in one corner of the set Effie, played by Roslyn Wheeler, immediately took her new heartthrob over to complete his honors. The gang, Billy Jackson fWillis Conoveri, Tommy Burns fFred Thomasl, Bebe fBettye Stewartl, Sallie fShirley Dilll, Charlotte fMargar- et Mowbrayi, Lanny fEdgar Bran- nockl, Dick fRussell Messickl,and Jim fRussell Millsj we found be- hind the scenery props, devour- ing the remaining refreshments while Mr. Smith, a telegraph mes- senger, telephone man. and taxi driver stood by vainly trying to get a taste. Little Mr. Pillsbury immediately took it on himself to thank the cast by climbing on a box and mak- ing a speech, and it was not until' the light switches were pulled that our critic was ready to leave.

THE HOTTENTOT P9-SSEIGVGH THLETIC SOCCER The '37 team, the surprise team of the year, was the winner of two counties, Dorchester and Wicomico, and also in the semi-finals for Shore Championship. Crisfield the winners of the Shore beat Cam- bridge at S. T. C., 2-0. In the play- off for county, Hurlock beat Cam- bridge 5-3 at Cambridge. At Hur- lock, C. H. S. defeated Hurlock 1-0, thus tying the game. The playoff, which Cambridge won 2-1, was held at Easton. We then played at Vi- enna, Nanticoke, winners of Wico- mico County. The game was play- ed and ended 4-4. Seven extra periods were played until dark, still 4--1. P l a y i n g Nanticoke again, we defeated them 4-2. Af- ter being beaten by Crisfield, an- other soccer season at C. H. S. was ended. This year's team was: Goal, Irving Gordyg left fullback, J. Paul Jonesg right fullback, Frank Tannerg left halfback, S. Matthews, center halfback, Harvey Seward, right halfback, George Browerg left outside, Fred Thomasg left inside, Mace Jonesg center for- ward, G. Creightong right inside, Bob Melvin: right outside, Ed Pe- ters. GIRLS' SPORTS The girls have shown the boys that they too can win in other sports as well as in Basketball. Let's look over their record for H3797 663813- The Fieldball Lassies brought the County Championship to C. H. S. for the first time and were de- feated by one point for the Eastern Shore Championship. Something to be proud of, eh girls? Basketball-a n o t h e r y e a r Champs of the Eastern Sho. The girls played 14 games and lost none. They met all kinds of competition but never once relin- quished the victory. The Bells scored 557 points to their oppon- ents 247, an average of 39 points a game. Margaret Mowbray scor- ed 324, Caroline Gordy 168, and Ag- nes Foxwell 59. fAsk the Purple Wave if their record is as good as the Bellesl. The boys superiority will have to be admitted at the County Field Meet, but much credit should go to the girls. The girls took first place ,I 1 lille' in softball and Margaret Wright won the 50 yd. dash in this meet, also in the Eastern Shore meet held in Salisbury. Margret Richardson took the honors in high jumping with Ber- nice Tanner and Margaret Mow- bray taking second and third. Mr. Busick and Mr. Walte1', their coaches, are to be congratu- lated on their fine work. Without them to give their time, as well as patience, the girls know they would not be able to boast of any achievements. Here's luck to the girls of 39 that they too may be able to boast about their records. You can win! If You Try! BASKETBALL During the time dating from De- cember 10, 1937 to April 1, 1938, the basketball season of the C. H. S. was on. During this time seven- teen games were played. Cam- bridge High won thirteen and lost four, a record that would be envi- ous on any team. The forward combination of Warren Robinson and Irving Gordy was broken up when Warren Robinson was called by the St. Louis Cardinals. Peters was called in to play forward with Tanner, who was shifted to for- ward from center. Gordy was put in the center position. If it hadn't been for Creighton's good steady playing many a game would have been lost. Sheets was the points getter of this combination. As re- serves there were Brower, Thom- as, Nichols, Melvin and Matthews, these boys could hold their own with most teams. The perfect record was marred by the Alumni, Conrad, Milford and Fort Hill of Cumber- land, who won state honors. The Alunmi beat us 20-16 and Conrad beat us 17-16 which was a heart- breaker. Milford, an undefeated twelve grade school, was still unde- feated by beating us 25-18. Fort Hill won 45-13. Mr. Andrews, the coach and Vice-principal filled in the vacancy of Mr. Cromwell and Mr. Walter and Mr. Busick became coaches at mid-season. The present coaches showed the boys some plays and formations which helped greatly in winning the games. Next year, handling the boys all year, they should go undefeated? TRACK Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Walter and Mr. Busick the track team had a very successful season. At Vienna, May 5, Cam- bridge High School walked away with the meet. May 7, four of the team went to University of Mary- land. Cambridge came in third in the county high school division. Frank Tanner coming in second in the 880-yard run, scored three points for the C. H. S. and Sewell Matthews coming in first in the 220 yard dash, scored five points. Web- ster Brown was the only person be- fore to place in this meet. May 14, the Cambridge High School went to Salisbury to help win the meet for Dorchester county. Cambridge was also invited to the meet at the Potato Festival at Tasley, Virgin- ia, and took second place. Good luck, next year's team, which yours truly thinks will be stronger than this year's. Keep up the good work, coaches, try to get dual meets. VERSIFYING VILLIS If only he'd listen to Irving and Bob, He might get some useful advice.

Page Twelve THE HOTTENTOT ASH CA PETE School Prowler Well, it's about time you Seniors did a little serious thinking in re- gard to your future. After grad- uation, what? Will you loaf or start carving out a career for your- self? Did the rest of you folk by any chance notice an item upon the cal- endar of events, which we were handed, that read, Faculty Fish- ing Trip . Doesn't that phrase conjure in your imagination a scene of delight?-Old Sol beating down on the slightly rippled sur- face of Fox Creek, Fishing Creek, the Honga River or some other ideal spot selected by the Crapo Conqueror. The boat dipping gent- ly and looking for all the world like a white polka dot on the blue dress of a fat lady doing a rhum- ba. On the top of the cabin, Mr. Busick lying at full length, cap pulled down over his face, fishing rod stuck between his toes, lunch basket half empty sitting along- side of him, and a crab crawling with warlike intentions toward his right ear. Mr. Walter draped over the stern of the boat pulling at a hand line with one hand while with the other he combs bait, hooks, spare parts for the engine, a Major Bowes Unit, and a few stray sea gulls out of his mus- tache. The female members of the faculty grouped around the one barrel fan Andrews inventionj waiting to get their hooks baited. Mr. Andrews admonishing Messrs. Walter and Busick to help him pull in the whale he has hooked.-- Perhaps some such scene will take place fthey say in Septemberj and fish will be served in the cafeteria for two weeks. Did you hear about the service station attendant who brought a real fiat tire to a dance? Or the two faced movie house manager who has double features? Well sir, they laughed when I suddenly exclaimed, Hi O Silver! They didn't know I was making out my income tax returns with an English accent. It was in the tenth inning-the score was tied. There was a tre- mendous excitement in the stands as Cambridge and Federalsburg fought it out for last place in the league. Our heaviest hitter came up to bat. The crowd was in a turmoil. The batter looked around for his favorite bat. It was no- where to be found. The suspense was terrific.

The pI'0- gram, a peppy dramatization of the prophecy, was given as a fare- well, honoring the members of the Senior Class. A high school senior goes to grandmother fmember of the class of '38J for information regarding her classmates. The occasion is the Golden Anniversary of the school year book. Grandmother, getting out her memory book, looks through it and recalls incidents of school life, marriages. achieve- ments, etc. As Grandmother turns the leaves of the book, the curtain opens to reveal a page from her memory book. She realizes that this is the year Bettye Stewart is celebrating her Golden Wedding Anniversary. Wil- lis Conover is for the fifth time making his farewell tour as an op- eratic star. Shirley Dill and some of her school day friends are seen comfortably rocking in an Old La- dies' Home. Goldy Tall has be- come a preacher of some renown. The Lichti Cup that is presented annually to the winner of the high school sailing team is a gift of John Lichti. Bill Blades is the popular C. H. S. principal. Irving Gordy is this year's candidate for gover- nor. Tommy Applegarth is living royally on his royalties from that famous book, How to Overcome That Inferiority Complex . Sew- ard Gray has just had recognition as oldest man to win a record as a SENIORS TAKE T0 THE OPEN ROAD ON CLASS NIGHT On class night, Tuesday, June 8, the Senior class of '38 had the gypsy in their souls, for the class presented a gypsy program entitled The Open Road. It was a program unlike any before offer- ed for a Class Night. One of the main characters, the Captain of Gypsy Tribe fclass presidentj spoke, telling the gath- ering that they were to witness a Harvest Festival of the gypsy tribe lseniorsb at the gypsy camp. The curtain rose, revealing the gypsy tribe, seated around a huge iron kettle, placed over the open campfire. After the gypsy welcome chor- us was sung by the enti1'e tribe, the Captain and other members all listened to the history as told by Madra fEleanor Shorterj. To add to the true gypsy spirit, instrumental solos, trios, and pop- ular gypsy songs fOl'm8d a part of the festival. Two other main characters then arrived, Princess Senior and the Queen of the tribe. After they were royally received the group was entertained by the telling of fortunes by the famed palmist of the band, Everette Creighton. All awaited Prince Nikoli of the Future Clan who was to come and take Princess Senior to her Clan. Before his arrival a stranger came offering jewels, later found to be paste, to the Princess. The stran- ger's identity was revaled by Madra who explained that there were many such impostors await- ing the anxious group of the Sen- iors. Soon the true prince came with his present of a diploma, and a chance to help the world. As the camp fire died low, each member of the tribe received a parting gift from Princess Senior, and listened to the last will and testament of the group on the sen- ior camping ground. As everyone knows when the embers of a dying fire are wit- nessed, it is the signal that the gypsies must again be on the open road, and so they bade farewell to their four camping grounds, the school. 1...

The assembly closed with a song and a yell to the new alumni. This program, entirely original, capped the climax for a most suc- cessful year of the club's work. TI-IE I-IOTTENTOT Page Thirteen ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE HOTTENTOT Back in, what seems to us, the dark ages , twelve years back to be exact, Mr. Ransom, the princi- pal of the high school, called the seniors Hottentots, because he claimed they had characteristics closely resembling those of that African tribe of bushmen. Then someone conceived the idea of editing a school paper, a staif was elected. Members on that first staff were: Editor-in-chief, Bayly Orem, News Editor, Nancy Lan- ierg Sport Editor, Calvin Harring- tong Advertising Manager, Billy I-Iarringtong Business Manager, Grason Winterbottomg Humor Ed- itor, Elizabeth Maceg Faculty Ad- visor, Mrs. L. W. Bennett. A paper could not be edited minus a name, so, after careful consider- ation, Mr. Ransom's name for the seniors was chosen. The paper was dubbed, The Hottentot, anl so it has remained these twelve years. It had its many growing pains but kept right on growing. Always a progressive paper, Hottentot staffs have tried to look after its improvement-thus we see that since its organization it has been registered as a charter member of the Maryland Inter- scholastic Press Association, the Tri-State Inter-scholastic Press, and the National Scholastic Press Association. For several years there always appeared above the staff names the picture of a ferocious, man-eating Hottentot cannibal, standing by his boiling pot, in a most threatening manner, iPerhaps it was a picture likeness of the punishment meted out by various editorsj. In 1929 there was introduced the idea of a Senior Hall of Fame. Of it the Hottentot said, The pur- pose of this is merely to create in- terest in the Hottentot, The class of '29 hopes that the electing of a Hall of Fame may continue through the years to come. Some of our present faculty members would be mighty uncomfortable if we were to print from that list the names of the Biggest Prevaricator, Biggest Flirt and Most Apple- sauce. Anyhow, the dream of '29 has been kept alive each year by the staff. For the first time in the history of its organization, a dinner dance was given for the members of the '34 staff. This was the result of the fine work done by the senior and junior staffs of that year. The dance was held at the Country Club. An affair of that type has since climaxed the years' work up to date. In 1935 there appeared in the paper a column known as Ash Can Pete, School Prowler, now just plain Ash Can Pete. Even the form in which the pa- per has been published has under- gone a complete metamorphosis. It was Hrst an 8 by 10, 3 column, 8 or 12 page printed paper. Then it became 12 by 9, 4 column, 6 to 8 page paper, from that, because of the depression year, the mimeo- graph and planograph idea was used. Now its present form is a 15 by 12, 5 column, 4 page printed issue. The first magazine form was ed- ited in 1930 and was about pam- phlet size. Since fet time the senior issue has alwa,,1 been in magazine or year book style. Advisors have come and gone. From '26 to '38 there have been Mrs. W. L. Bennett, Mr. Wm. Sow- ers, Mrs. Eleanor Willis Fox, Miss Nora Dunn, Miss Helen Doenges and Miss Sarah Linthicum. Below is a list of the editors since the dawn of the Hottentot to now: Bayly Orem-'25-'27 Robin Lanier-'26 W. N. Williams-'27-'28 J. W. Matthews-'28-'29 Lillian Slacum-'29-'30 Charlotte Fletcher-'30-'31 Kaye Wallace--'31-'32 Edward Smith-'32-'33 Jimmie Merrick-'33-'34 Donald Matthews-'34-'5 Wildai James-'35-'36 William Sackett-'37-'38 Edward Peters-'38-'39 .l- . LAST WORDS 0F C. H. S. HEADLINERS When asked by our nosey re- porter, What has your high school life meant to you? these Seniors replied: Irving Gordy-Prominent athlete I say, as many others who left C. H. S. say, I should have giv- en more time to studies and less to athletics. flmagine that com- ing from Gordyl. Russell Mills-Class president Of all my years in school the last four at the C. H. S. were the most enjoyable. fWell brother, I sure wish I could say thatl. Ellis Orr-Managing Editor of the Hottentot They tried hard to pour it in. I hope they have had a little suc- cess. fWell, if it all went in as easy as yours, the teachers sure would 9 enjoy teachingj. Bayne Neild-Student My last big laugh of the year was when Mr. Busick was ex- plaining the radio. And a boy asked, 'Is that a telephone! fThat just goes to show you how bright our A section isl. Sewell Matthews-Track Star Well, I sure wish I could take my school days over so I could play football and have more fun and eat the white bread of life again. fWe know you like to study, f?l but we know too that they're go- ing to start giving cups for the 220 dash in 19451. Seward Gray-Masked Singer IV C I leave this school on May 31. All I hope now is that I go to heaven . fWell Seward, you might as well know that when you go there you can't be towed inj. Ed Peters-Editor of Hottentot I gained a thorough knowledge of newspaper work and spent probably the best four years of my life in a fine way . Veach Hurley-Tall Man of the Class I have been exposed to a lot of learning and had a lot of fun. Helen Shenton-Janet Waring in Three Days of Gracie If I could only be a Senior the remainder of my life! It was all great. But why Miss Doen- ges and Miss Dunn do not have gray hair puzzles me. fHotten- tot workllf' Bettye Stewart-Easy on the Eyes My high school career has been a very interesting and enjoyable one, with duties as Vice President of the Student Council and the Senior Dramatic Club. My only regret is that there is not an- other year of it. Margaret Mowbray-Blue Belles Star Athlete During my senior year I have enjoyed taking part in all sports, especially basketball. They have helped me to acquire one import- ant idea-cooperation-which is necessary to succeed in the busi- ness world. There is one thing as captain of the team I wish to leave behind, that is the spirit and fight of my teammates. Mary Wright-Gracie Allen of 1938 Besides preparing me with a commercial background, my four years at high school have meant a lot of new friends and many enjoyable times. Augusta Merrick-Songstress of Tune In With only a few days of school left, I am beginning to realize how I am going to miss Cam- bridge High this year, though it seems to have been the shortest, has been the fullest and best year of all, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

Page Fourteen THE HOTTENTOT COMMERCIA LS WIN HONORS BOOKKEEPING In a recent bookkeeping contest sponsored by the Business Educa- tion World, IV B came through with honors. Thirty-one out of the thirty-four papers submitted made the owner eligible to a certi- ficate. Practically the only criti- cisms made were on poor w1'iting and careless erasures. Russell Messick was congratulated on his neatness of work and Miss Dunn was patted on the back for her conscientious instruction which was proved by splendid solutions of the students. This work was entirely a class project. No outside work was al- lowed, therefore was done individ- ually. Those eligible for certifi- cates are as follows: Thomas Applegarth 1Post Grad.1, Betty Bloom, Virginia Brannock, Archie Brooks, Albert Cook, Brice Creighton, Everette Creighton, Mace Harper, Marie Hurst, Anna Ruth Jones, John Paul Jones, Elizabeth LeCompte, Robert Melvin, Russell Messick, August Meyer, Naomi Mills, Reba Mills, Russell Mills, Virginia Mills, Margaret Mowbray, Blondy Mur- phy, Margaret Pink, Frederick Pritchett, Lloyd Robbins, Vernon Robbins, Marie Seward, Helen Shcnton, Winifred Smith, Freder- ick Thomas, Norma Warner, Mary Wright. Both the junior and senior class- es have submitted papers in a con- test being sponsored by Beacom College, but at the present time nothing has been heard in regard to them. Last year Evelyn Bran- nock, a post-graduate taking first year bookkeeping won first prize in a similar contest conducted by Beacom College. BUSINESS TRAINING The Business Training Class plunged into a contest given by the Business Educational World and came out very well. Forty- two members, the whole class, en- tered the contest and twenty-two of them were eligible for Certifi- cates of Achievement.

Seniors, 60 Strong, Visit Washington As the milkman rattled down the street cn Tuesday morning, March 24, he heard a few signs of life all over town as mothers called one by one the seniors who were to go to town -to Washington that day. One by one he saw them stumbling out the front door, rubbing eyes and trying to find their uncertain sleepy way to the Postofiice. By the time the crowd assem- bled, excitement had overcome the sleep and there was a riot of noise and screams of I want to sit in the back , Hey, save me a place , What the heck! Do you think I can sit on that little space! So they piled in-a squirming mass of humanity. The driver shifted his gears and was about to start, when away up the street was seen the skirt of one late comer flying in the breeze. Finally they were off -fand I really mean offl. The ferry was not missed, nor did anyone fall overboard-but they certainly did take possession for a while, yes sir! They made those people know where they were from, one member of IV A just couldn't keep quiet. Then there was big business man , Bill Blades, worrying over not getting at least one more person signed up for the trip. Washington was reached and one by one fsome two by twol practi- cally fell out of the bus.

Maybe the Department of Justice would be called in, no there he comes--it was only Mr. VValter. If they had known that, they would have gone on-- There's a suspicion on the part of the writer that few sweet noth- ings were whispered into some ears on the return trip in between the harmonizings of all the popu- lar tunes.
