In 1939 the girls’ varsity basketball team captured the Maryland State Champion- ship. Little did they realize thaj those agonizing hours of practice would result in such a proud page in the history of CHS. Members of the team are FRONT ROW: Jane McCall, Bootsey Hales, Caroline Gordy, Betty Jane Gordy. Bernice Tanner, Margaret Wright. BACK ROW: Manager Jim Busick, Agnes Foxwell, Shirley Trcgoc, Beverly Vickers, Jeanette Bradley, I .a Rue Tubman, Mildred Lee Perhaps the photos on the last few pages have Lewis, and Manager Ed Walter. , , . caused some nostalgic reflections on the part of Cambridge’s alumni. At any rate the Yearling staff, through the medium of pictures and words, has tried to give the reader some idea of the histon' of Cambridge High School. Many things have changed, as has been testified to by this section, but to sense the continuing spirit of Cam- bridge High School, a person must meet the peo- ple that make up the present student body. No school would be truly complete without a band to carry its colors. For many years now, Cambridge High has had a fine band to perform at games and assemblies. Be- lieving in diversity for excellence. Cam- bridge High has two bands; a marching band and a concert band. 11

This scene is a basketball game played in the old gym. To relate to the present locations, the boys on the stage would be in the art room, the players would be in the hall between the art, French, and home economics rooms, the fans at the lower left would be in the French room, and the photog- rapher in the home ec room. In addition, all the area above the exit sign is now empty space, with the ceiling supported by cables hung from the roof. A trap door and ladder in the Shrine Room closet give access to this space. Tennis is not a new sport at CHS. For many years it has been one of the most popular Spring activities. Although play- ing facilities were not as good in 1938 as they arc today, the team performed remark- ably well. The clay tennis court shown above has since been replaced by two asphalt courts and the dress of the players has changed considerably. The 1938 net- men were: Margaret Richardson, Russell Davis, Charles Hurlock, Vcach Hurley, Arnold Nichols, Irving Feldman, and Margaret Mowbray. 10
