Football has always been an integral part of CHS life whether the season was victorious or not. Even though they lacked uniforms and much of the other expensive equipment available for today’s players, the 1908 gridders fought hard to bring glory to their school. LYING DOWN: Briley Wright, Spence Phelps. SECOND ROW: George Hudnut, Gilbert Mcckins, Lloyd Shorter, Vaughn Stevenson. BACK ROW': Henry Bramble, Ray Goslin, Harry Phelps, Coach Pete Basset, Robert Warren, and J. Richard Smith. Although the letters earned by the members of the 1909 CHS football team look quite different from those worn by the 1964 squad, they were certainly no less proud of them, for getting them required many hard hours of practice. The Cambridge High line-up in 1909 were: FRONT ROW: George Hudnut, Gilbert Meekins, Tom Kerr, Spence Phelps, Lloyd Shorter. SECOND ROW: Vaughn Stevenson, Harry Phelps, Briley Wright, Howard Matthews. BACK ROW: Ben Robbins, Bob Warren. STANDING: Edward Harris.

Composing ihr first yearbook of Cambridge High School was the special Honor of the 1909 Literary Staff. Entitled The Comet, this publication contained pictures of the faculty, the graduating class, the year’s teams, and essays by the members of the Senior Class. The members of that Literary Staff were: FRONT ROW: Bertha Nathan, Gilbert Meekins, Gene Ruark, Crompton Kerr. SEC- OND ROW: Russell Davis, Elizabeth Spedden, Briley Wright, Anna Collins. THIRD ROW: Katharine Mundy, Robert Warren, Vaughn Stevenson, Mary Hall. BACK ROW: Ethel Bamburger, and Lucy Moore. Cambridge High has always had a widely-varied scope of activities for curricular and extra- curricular participation. Through the years in these activities the students of CHS have displayed the spirit needed to make a great high school. The photos on these pages are a display of student interests through the years, and they cover fairly well the range of group interests that are in CHS now. From the cheerleaders to the Hottentot, from the Senior play to the Honor Society, all arc examples of student effort two decades ago. For many years now the Hottentot has been a school institution. The newspaper men and women of 1931-32 are: FRONT ROW’: Adver- tising Manager Beulah MacSorley, Editor Catherine Wallace, Business Manager Emer- son Slacum, Advertising Manager Eleanor McKnight. SECOND ROW: Typist June Mer- rick, Literary Editor Virginia W’ilkinson, Assistant Editor Catherine Spedden, Exchange Editor Louise Haring, News Editor Lois Jones, Sports Editor Emerson Stoker. THIRD ROW: Sports Editor Harry Towers, Business Aides Robert McKnight, Granville LcComptc, Agnes Fountain, Fulton Moore, Typist Herbert Wilson, Humor Editor Harold Banning. Planning the school’s social calendar was the main duty of the Dance Committee. Because the school sponsored many more dances in 1942 than they do now, the com- mittee’s job was a big one. There were at least six major dances during the school year and a dance after every home football and basketball game. The type of dance varied greatly from the Plaid Shirt Social to the all- important Junior-Senior Prom. 7

In basketball, football, baseball, and all varsity sports, the Raiders through the years have acquired a tradition as the team to beat on the Shore. Yet, not too many years ago many sports, such as golf, and tennis, were non- existent in school, and the stronger sports like football and baseball, struggled along with what equipment could be begged, borrowed, or brought from home. But through all, Cambridge High has displayed the spirit that makes a winning team.
