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. Mad rushing about for the rest. of the day from the Pan American Building to the Department of Jus- tice fremcmber gang, you are fin- ger printed nowj, to the Lincoln Memorial, to the Medical Museum fwhat's the trouble girls, couldn't you take it?J, to the Smithsonian Institute-with the pause that re- freshes tpardon Coca-Colaj in be- tween time for lunch. Did they eat? Well, the cash in the pock- ets was considerably less after that trip, so I reckon so! Then came the turn in , noses were c o u n t e d,-somebody not there! What should they do? 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. Of course every now and then Mary Wright had to pester every- one with Don't you wish you had sold eighty-one tickets! Such is life!

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.

Page Sixteen THE HOT TENTOT WILL OF THE HOTTENTOT Having come to our last few hours on this good old earth, we, the staff of '38, being in full pos- session of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make this our last will and testament, in the following matter, that is to say: We hereby authorize the Staff of '39 to pay all our just debts and funeral expenses and do give, de- vise and bequeath all our worldly belongings as follows: Item: Our estimable and cute editor, Mr. Edward Peters gives and bequeaths with pleasure to the editor-in-chief of the '39 Staff, Mr. George Orr, who still has to learn what the word Hottentot means fincidently it means hard workl, the worry and time the Hottentot has cost him throughout the year. He too, wills his authority and abil- ity to find work for others to do. In addition he leaves Archie Brooks' desk in Miss Dunn's room as the official Hottentot stick-her-togeth- er-place fwe couldn't think of a suitable wordl and several old and empty bottles of glue with some scrap paper for headline composi- tion. Item: Our intelligent Radio-Tri- cian and managing-editor, Mr. El- lis Orr gives and bequeaths to Miss Jean Brotemarkle his ability to col- lect assignments after they have been given out by the Editor and also he gives his personality among the girls to anyone who thinks they need it. We are all sure Jean that you will appreciate and benefit by these gifts. II didn't like that crack about the girls-mgn. Ed.J. Item: Messrs. Russell Mills. Ar- chie Brooks and Mace Harper be- queath their literature originality to Virginia Hobbs, Elizabeth Wheatley, and Belvalea Vickers. Miss Eleanor Shorter gives her un- limited vocabulary to Raymond In- galls. We are quite sure you will be able to handle it, Raymond. Ev- erette Creighton and Bill Blades leave their ability to act and write any time, any place, any type of general foolishness to Irwin Feld- man and Bill Evans. Olive Bran- nock and Betty Mae Wright leave their valuable gift of taking an as- signment with a smile to Helen Lichti and Mary Cornell Hirst. Item: Miss Bettye Stewart be- queaths her gift of writing poetry about and on any occasion to any member of the new staff who feels capable of such a position. We as- sure you that to fill it as Bettye has is not very easy. Item: Our excellent staff artists, Frederick Thomas, Willis Conover and Pauline Pike give their expe1't art talent to Sylvia Mende, Gus Mende and Helen Lichti. Item: Mr. Robert E. Melvin and Mr. John Paul Jones give and be- queath their ability to dig up scan- dal, print it and then hide, to Mr. William Robbins and Mr. Wallace Willey. Item: Ash Can Pete bequeaths his entire column to the newly adopted ward of Cambridge High School.

Item: Our efficient business man- ager, Miss Helen Shenton, be- queaths her ability to manage her staff and get those ads to Miss Mary Mace Brohawn. The busi- ness staff itself leaves its new found advertisers and a good bank balance to the new staff. Item: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the Class of' '39 the real and rightful success- ors. First: We wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the faculty advisors, Miss Doenges, Miss Dunn and Miss Linthicum, for their necessary guidance as any staff member knows the Hottentot would not be in existence if it were not for the advisors. Second: To complete our will we must leave behind the Roving Re- porter's column which has caused several small riots and many threats of sabotage. Third: As always, we leave the new staff with a challenge to better the record-We tried. Conclusion: We constitute and appoint our principal, Mr. W. Em- mett Andrews, of Cambridge, Maryland, to be the executor of this our last will and testament, here- by revoking all other wills hereto- fore made.

Both sections of the Commercial shorthand seniors submitted pa- pers to the Gregg Company, March 1, in an annual contest and were duly awarded an engraved Hon- orable Mention Certificaten in recognition of the work of the club sent in, in this contest. The Certificate has been framed and is on display in Miss Har- wood's room. On April 26, the same two short- hand sections submitted papers to Beacom Business College, Wil- mington, Delaware, in a high school contest conducted by that institution yearly. Returns from this contest are not yet known. Compliments Congratulations of Seniors Tilden's Breezie Modern Luncheonette Collins Drug Store Cambridge, Md.
