What could be dearer to the heart of any school child than the burning of his school? The Cambridge High School students who watched this 1935 fire had short-lived benefits, however. The 1935 school year was held in the Seminary building and the following year the school was rebuilt, all of which helps to show that CHS has definitely withstood all obstacles during its long history. Presented on these and the following pages arc some scenes from the 75-ycar-long history of Cam- bridge High School. Portraying a wide range of subjects, from the first principal to the disasterous fire of 1935, from the early faculty to an old foot- ball team, these photos may bring back nostalgic high school memories to the alumni of Cambridge High. Clear to all. however, is the continuity of excellence through its 75 years as shown here.

Academic excellence has not always been stressed as much as it is today. When the Cambridge chapter of the National Honor Society was started in 1940, there were thirteen hesitant members, because to be very intelligent earmarked a student as an oddball. In 1942 the number of members had grown to thirty-three and to lx smart was no longer thought of as a serious afHiction. Today there are sixty-nine members of the CHS Honor Society. The members of the 1942 Honor Society pictured above are: FIRST ROW: Rex Neil, Ted Malkus, Shirley Brannock, Mrs. Ella Walter, Claire Laskowski, John Richardson. SECOND ROW: Miss Keplinger, Peggy Barnes, Marian Hughes. Clare Meredith. Rose Cantwell, Theda Brere- wood. Aggie Wilson. Jean Vickers. THIRD ROW: Elree Dayton, Alice Ann Palmer, Miriam Frankcl, Cecilia Keene, Betty Wynn, Sophie Jones. Ruth Hastings. Peggy Marine, Lee Wright. BACK ROW: Bill Barth. Jane Meekins, Ruth Seward. Greta Thomas, Olive Townsend, Gloria Travers, Page Hubbard. Genie Simmons, and Edward Burton. Boosting team spirit is the main job of any cheerleading squad. This was not easy for the 1942 squad, for at the time the country was in the depths of World War II. Nevertheless, during this depressed time the squad managed to keep team spirit high throughout the school. The members of the 1942 squad were: FRONT ROW: Ruba Brannock, Sam Cannon, Agnes Wilson. BACK ROW: Po Ewell, Page Hubbard, Jane Meekins, and Miriam Frankel. A few of the present Senior class were around when this senior play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was presented. But it’s not likely that any of them will remember this production, for it was staged back in 1948. the year when most Seniors were born! Members of the cast shown include Jane Taitt, Ronald Rue. Marian Dozier, Ruth Edna Matthews, Cora Lee Phillips, Emory Stafford, Polly Matthews, Fran Jacobs, Bruce Burquct, Clyde Todd, and Smith Rue.
