--.-.-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. It seems, though, he's sure he can handle the job In a manner both novel and nice. His automobile is quite speedy, and green As his technique in handling the dames. But Nick isn't speedy himself, be- cause Jean Always quenches his amorous flames. ik if ik Through sacred halls of knowledge A towering monster stalks. His rapid stride is six feet wide-- He travels when he walks! One guy threw him a record Too soon for him to reach. Once in a While made Cabbage smile, Embarrassing poor Veach. Sk lk if She sits through the day with her nose in the air, Regarding her classmates with meaningless stare. ' She's even abandoned her passion for swing! The reason? Her heart has re- sponded to Spring. It seems that in Easton a fellow re- sides Who out to Town Point every Fri- day night rides. fCont. to page 12, Col. 21 776 3011153 fr is WIS 4 .K fieferlffit' ng 0 xi all 4? X it XSS - jllffti Living up to our former reputa- tion the Roving Reporter is even sticking his nose in the Year Book. Talking about noses-You should have seen Cocky's at the Hotten- tot Dance. Ellis Orr was to intro- duce his new heart-throb at the Dance and Cocky had it all fixed up to take her from Ellis. Was Cocky surprised when he found out he couldn't understand dog talk! Some of the queerest things in Class, John Paul's jokes, Mary Wright's laughg Bill Blades going down the hall under Full sail and the stuff Zulie gets out of that horn. It seems rather odd that our edi- tor overlooked seven senior names when composing a section of the Hottentot while working in the staff room. Incidentally there were two girls working with him- not that this has any bearing on the case, of course. Q.Y. ONE YEAR'S WORK Millsie-Your time has been wasted fwho caresl. Pcn Jaul-You've lead a merry chase. fWe believe you've got her in your powerj. Bob-Were you burnt up! fyou can't talk to the dogl. Miss Doenges-Is it true you're marrying Shakespeare. fThey're coming to get you next weekj. Ellis--You've tried hard, this year. fWe hope you have more luck fishing this summerll. Everette Creighton can play a harmonica very well. Boy, he is a real blower! Correction: Instead of that be- ing 12:30 that Dot Weedon and Charlie Kelly sat on her front porch, it was 2:30. We wonder how much it cost Tommy for shoe leather at the Hottentot Dance. Ask Helen may- be she could tell you. Sorry, but this is all for this year, but you had better behave yourself for we are coming back next year.
