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.

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.
