AIJIJIQIQCIATICJN 'IU Tl IIQ IACUIQIV The Lahontan staff as spokesman for the students of Churchill County High School wish to express our appreciation and thanks to members of the faculty for their interest and. participation in this yearfs student affairs, as well as for the energy expended in advice, direction and instruction in the class room. ll2l LAHGNT5NUI937gWWg DllQlNCll3AL'S MESSA E TG THE CITIZENS or Tomoooow This great government, of which you are a part, is a priceless heritage. Wrought piecemeal out of human bondage, forged and fashioned by the suffering and the sacrifices of your forefathers, it emerged a splendid edifice. It is your government. What are you going to do with it? No government can long endure if shorn of the respect and confidence of its people. Out of the gummage and twaddle of current comment a shadow falls. It may be nothing, but the loom of it is disquieting. It is the spectre of disrespect. It rears its ugly head in the councils of our laborers when sit down strikes are called and the proper- ty of other people is seized and illegally re- tained. Now the right of private property is one of the cornerstones in our government. No matter how just the cause of labor, it is never justified, under our system of gov- ernment, in seizing and holding other peo- ple's property. It is not necessary to .resort to illegal practices. There are other remedies. Again we pass within the shadow. This time it is the loss of respect for our courts. If the courts be intimidated, either by the threat of numbers, or the boos of the rabble, what shall become of us? Think of it! Strikers seize a factoryg the owners appeal to the courts to restore their property, the court orders the strikers out, and the strik- ers laugh at the court. I am filled with mis- givings. That the orders of a court should be made a mockery is unthinkable. You are the citizens of tomorrow. If you love your America you will pledge un- failing allegiance to the great institutions upon which America is built. You will de- mand respect for law and order, for the courts, for the right of private property, and lastly for the duly constituted authorities in government Wherever they may be. That is your plain duty. I know you will not fail. GEORGE E. MCCRACKEN, Principal. l13l pews WLAHQNTAH 1937 as EXECUTIVE CGMMITTEE Dale Miller Geo. E.

Yet the true meaning of the word applies to our class as the close of the year nears. For four years we have been a large unit in Churchill County High School and now we are to leave. Even in this last year we have accomplished much that will be remembered by many. Our student body president, Dale Miller, added to his record another place on the all-state football team. Jim Johnson and Donald Downs represented us at the Forensic meet in debate, held at the University of Nevada. In dramatics Jack Beach, Jim Johnson and Trina Behrmann placed us in the ranks of outstanding Nevada high schools. Bill Prudler was selected as best speaker in the state at the Future Farmer meet. All student body officers for the year and both editor and business manager of the year book were members of the senior class. The best class party of the year was given by the Seniors. Laverne Drumm as chairman of the decoration committee more than outdid the other classes when she decorated the auditorium in blue and white, with lowered ceiling and a huge cluster of balloons in the center. The balloons provided sport for the dancers and few remained intact when the evening was over. The Senior assembly was given just before Christmas. Now we are at the close of our supremacy and must start once more at the bottom of the ladder. If we can be as successful in life as we were in high school we shall have accomplished a great deal.

We have but twelve members, but among them are several of the most active boys in school. Duke', Downs, Richard Berney, Ira Inman, and Lloyd Miller. are all active in athletics. Lloyd Miller was Block vice president this year, and next year will be captain of Fallon's Green Wave ,football team. The other three boys will play for one more season before they graduate.

As Juniors we have experienced our first taste of the dignity of upper classmen and are more than prepared for the much larger taste to appear next year. We have not been overly active as an organization but we have loyally participat- ed in all school activities. One of the peppiest assemblies of the year was the one spon- sored by our group the Friday before Easter vacation. The program was arranged and presided over by Richard Berney, class president. Rev. A. L. Schrock of the Episcopal church delivered the Easter address and Harriet Knobloch gave an interesting account of Easter in different countries. The student body sang a number of songs and Julia Bark- ley gave an amusing reading. The newly formed jazz orchestra, made up by Jean Stewart at the piano, Merlyn Scholz at the drums, and Buddy Danielson playing the trumpet, made its first appearance. Our class dance was held the first week in April and the Junior-Senior banquet which is given by the Juniors for the graduating Seniors. was held in May. l30l ,4 , QUIAN 193 7 SQDHQ QIQES Top to Bottom-S.

And why did we have the courage to assume an air? We knew We were going places in high school, and we have. Most of the B squad in basketball was composed of Sophomore boys who made a good showing during the season, and have definite prospects of making next year's A string. David Spoon and Donald Bowers, both Sophomores, made the cast for the first school play put on this year. Bill Lattin, a Sophomore. made the debate team which represented Fallon at the forensic meet held at the University of Nevada in April. To climax all, we Sophomores ran the seniors a fair second in the intra-school track meet sponsored by the 20-30 club, April 23. The following day Thomas Kent placed in the mile at the district meet in Yerington. During the latter part of April we gave a hard times party.

No time was lost in making us feel the inferior position we were to bear for one whole year as Freshmen in Churchill County High School. We were immediately forgotten after the first day. Not 'till after Thanksgiving did the upper classmen remember we were around, and give us a belated welcome. It came in the form of a party. Hot dogs were served for refreshments-all for our childish de- light, we suppose, or perhaps in payment for white-washing the F on Rattlesnake Hill the week previous. Nevertheless, as unencouraged as we were, we had a number of boys and girls out for basketball. Some of the boys entered the 20-30 track meet but took no honors. Early in May we gave a party and invited the rest of the school to enjoy some of our hospitality. After all was over, the upper classmen had a better idea of our possibili- ties, and realized that down underneath we have our good points-we hope!

Each of us had a destination in mind. Some of us planned to go to college. Others had jobs in view. Yet when September 8 rolled around ten of us found ourselves standing in the hall eagerly awaiting Mr. McCracken's welcoming address, and were glad we were to be included once more. During the course of the school year five of our number dropped out. The five of us who remain are again preparing for an exit with one more year of school to our credit. That year has been one of profit. We have improved in our various fields and we are satisfied that whatever we find to do can be done better than it would have been without this year's experiences. l33l m LAHGHTAN V1937 if www 5 Jam ,S 7 wi-'H ' Nat, f A U Hifi s.

Churchill County High School has a band, for the first time. equipped with both uniforms and instruments. Organized by Herbert M. Peck, it made its first public appearance one month after it was assembled, at the Democratic rally last fall. Shortly after that it played for the Republican rally. Trim in green and white uniforms, the band played at the state football champion- ship game at Yerington. It was the only band to attend the game and added zest and color during intervals between quarters. Pep was generated in a hurry at rally meetings previous to basketball games, as well as maintained during games in time out and quarter intervals during the entire season. As a pep generator for school activities the band was definitely a success, but real merit came to members of the group when a grade of superior. second highest honor in competition, was accorded them by judges of the State Music Festival held in Winnemucca early in May. All thirty members of the band attended, traveling in a school bus. Upon arrival they entered the grand march, formed an for Fallon and a W for Winnemucca before the reviewing stand, and finally played in a mass band concert in which 700 students from all over the state took part. With this year's experience band members have hopes of being classed first rank in the state next year. i371 c-- . IAIEPFJHI , I 23.1. .- -.------c,-.-, .- GIQCH ESTIQA Top Row, Left to Right-W.

There are four violins, a string bass. a clarinet, two trumpets, three trombones and an alto. The orchestra first played for the student body in October, in a program launching Lahonton subscriptions. The program was given in the form of a radio broadcast, and introductory and closing numbers were provided by the orchestra. On May 14. the orchestra played for t.he Fashion Show put on by the girls in Home Arts. Miss Cousie Coverston was director of the orchestra this year. l38l IXI it WIXN Iimf C-sl Ile Cl l I5 Top Row.

Any regular student, regardless of class, receiving a grade of not less than A in four major subjects for one semester is awarded an Old English F . Any student who has been awarded first, second, or third place in state public speaking contests, dramatics, debating tournaments, shorthand and typing contests, Future Farmer meets or any other special merit for interscholastic competition is also entitled to the Old English HF . A few of the present members are not included in the picture because they were absent at the time the group was taken. Others had not received their Old English F at that time since most of the interscholastic contests take place in the late spring after the year book has gone to press. l40I LKHOUIAN 1937! g CME AIQT Reading from left to right, top to bottom-M.

Besides learning how to cook and sew these girls study manners and stress per- sonal grooming. This year they gave several cake sales during noon hours, and sold popcorn at the basketball games, the proceeds being used to buy equipment for the department. These girls displayed further evidence of their culinary ability by serving the annual F. F. A. father and son banquet this year, and entertaining the Rotary and 20'-30 clubs at luncheon. On May 14 they acted as hostesses to the girls taking part in the Home Economics meet for the district. l41l g IAHQNTAN 1937 CQMMEIQCIAL Left to right-Geo. Winder, Miss Stella Larson. instructor.

Catherine Hauret and George Winder, both senior students, were the victors. Having first place in Shorthand I, and second place for speed in Typing I to her credit from the preceding year, Catherine Hauret. furthered her record in the recent con- test by placing first in Shorthand II, making 90 words per minute with no errors. She also won the Advanced Shorthand Contest at 105 words per minute and four errors and then topped everything off by walking away with the Typing II first place at 60 odd words per minute. George Winder entering the State Contest for the first time immediately exper- ienced victory. He won the Shorthand I competition by making 60 words per minute and no errors. Miss Hauret. is now employed as bookkeeper in the I. H. Kent store in Fallon.

The Fallon chapter of Future Farmers of America is not only the largest but the best in the state. There are 42 members in the chapter. which was this year awarded S15 for being the best in the state. The F. F. A. boys study agriculture in all its phases, both experimentally and aca- demically. Each boy has his own project. Philip Jones, a senior this year, is raising 200 fryers, three cows, eight heifers, and an acre of watermelons. Ray Sorenson, junior stu- dent, has a half interest in 50 head of hogs and a half interest in 500 turkeys, while Mar- tin Dodge, sophomore, has 27 head of beef cattle for his project. In the spring of each year all the F. F. A. chapters in the state hold a meet in Reno. William Prudler of Fallon won the state public speaking contest this year and on May 18 represented Nevada at the regional meet in Reno. in which eleven western states participated. ' Three teams were entered in the contests at the F. F. A. meet. Those who com- peted in stock judging were George Serles, William Prudler, Curtis Willard and Wen- dell Imus. Tony Erquiaga, Robert Swope, William Prudler and Leonard Smith entered the identification contest. Mario Peraldo. Elliott Lima, Ray Sorenson and Philip Jones competed in crop judging. Leonard Smith was awarded the State Farmer degree for the year. This is the highest state honor an F. F. A. boy can earn. I.43l g LAHONTAN 1937 FQIQU M Top row, left to right-E. Uithoven, W.

Much stress is placed on debating and speaking in fields of social advancement, science, history, and literature. Membership to Forum is open to any student who is in good standing, at the be- ginning of each semester. This year forty-six students ranging from freshmen to seniors belonged. Students are selected from this group to participate in the State Forensic meet held in the latter part of April at the University of Nevada each year. Usually Fallon is represented both in debate and extemporaneous speaking at the meet but this time it was represented only in debate. Jim Johnson and Donald Downs, senior students, and Bill Lattin, junior student, formed the debating team elected to go to Forensic. Officers for the group are elected twice yearly at the beginning of each semester. T441 - LAHUUPLW 1915--.

Ruth Hiibel, Rosemary Hoar, Roma Madsen. Julia Barkley. The first play given this year was Special Delivery, a comedy in three acts. Members of the cast were Jim Johnson, Ruth Hiibel, Donald Bowers, Trina Behrman, Norman Toft, Frank Jensen, Marie Gott. David Spoon, Roma Madsen and Caroline Best. The play was put on for the public in November. During the second semester three one-act plays were prepared as possibilities for entrance in the state forensic meet in April. Six judges, all townspeople, chose Poor Old Jim, a comedy-drama, as the best one for competition. Jack Beach played the lead, while Jim Johnson and Trina Behrman supported him. Poor Old Jim was awarded third place in the Class A one-act play contest. Four schools, Las Vegas, Sparks, Reno and Fallon, competed in the contest. First place was given to Reno and second to Las Vegas. All three members of the Fallon cast received Old English honor awards for winning a place in the play competition. A senior play, the first in several years, was given shortly before the close of school. The dramatics department was strengthened by several veteran players from last year. Among them were Jack Beach, winner of the title Best Actor in the State, in the 1936 forensic meet, Trina Behrman, Marie Gott, David Spoon, Jim Johnson and Caroline Best. Those students who became interested in dramatics for the first time this year were Rosemary Hoar, transfer from Los Angeles, Ruth Hiibel, Donald Bowers, Norman Toft, Frank Jensen, Roma Madsen, Larry Crehore, Julia Barkley and Jim Gibbs. There are a number of these students who do not graduate this year and promise to be valu- able in dramatics in the future. l45l IAHGNTAN 1937 THIQEE ON E-ACT DLAY5 HUNGRY ALL THE YEARS Hungry All the Years, a rather slow moving comedy in comparison to most, was cast by Trina Behrman, Marie Gott, Larry Crehore and Rosemary Hoar. Miss Behrman played the part of a newly widowed step-mother. Crehore was her step-son and Miss Hoar her very critical daughter-in-law. As a sympathetic neighbor Miss Gott succeeded in freeing the unagressive mother-in-law of her presumptive relatives and started her upon a career of pleasure in her newly found freedom. Miss Hoar and Crehore put on a credible performance for a first attempt at dra- matics. Miss Gott and Miss Behrman were experienced players, having been interested in dramatics for the past two years. SMOKESCREEN Smokescreen, a drama in one act, was one of the four plays considered for entrance in the Forensic contest. Jim Gibbs and Jack Beach played the part of two detectives who cleverly forced Julia Barkley, cast as Katy, an underworld character, to a confession of murder. Gibbs in his detective role disguised as a dope, played the part most convincingly, and Miss Barkley rose to emotional heights at the point of her confession in equally good form. A PAIR OF LUNATICS Because Caroline Best was called away from Fallon just before the tryouts, A Pair of Lunaticsf' clever little farce in which she was cast with Donald Bowers, got no chance for selection as Churchi1l's entry in the state forensic tournament. Nevertheless this one-act vehicle gave these two members of the dramatics de- partment personnel a chance to demonstrate real talent, and was enthusiastically re- ceived by members of the Fallon Rotary club, before whom Mr. Peck presented it as a Rotary luncheon program feature. In this farce the principals, both guests at an asylum dance, developed some hilari- ous situations, when each mistook the other for an inmate and tried desperately to pla- cate the supposed lunatic as a matter of self preservation. There was, of course, a happy and romantic ending when identities were revealed. E461 IAHGNTAN LQQT GUI? EW AT LETIC FIELD Churchill County High School has one of the finest athletic fields in this state. For years the football boys practiced in the dusty, weed covered lot in back of the high school. Last spring the Fallon 20-30 club put an end to such misery by furn- ishing material and money for the large green oval now seen in the rear of the school building. Turf was planted and cared for during the summer. A sprinkling system was in- stalled, goal posts were erected and the old bleachers were remodeled, painted and placed on the south side of the field. By September the turf was green and tough, ready for the first rough and tumble home game. 20-30 has continued its project of improvement this year. Early in the spring fer- tilizer was spread on the turf and the track graded and leveled. With the necessities for a good athletic field completed, the club has now insti- tuted a program of beautifying the surrounding grounds. Five hundred trees were planted around the track and training quarters and a border of hedge set out. Labor for these improvements was provided by the PWA. Willie Capucci, newly named assistant engineer for the high school, cares for the field, keeping it in top-notch form. The Lahontan Staff, in behalf of Churchill County High School, wishes to express its thanks to 20-30 and to Willie for the boost the recent improvement and upkeep of equipment has given the school toward attaining future athletic prowess in this state. l49l g LAIelCQJNTAN 1937 CGACHES AND VELL LEADEIQ Back row, left to right-Merlyn Scholz, yell leader, Assistant Coach Harold Curran, Coach Don Robertson.

Her basketball teams have been consistently top-notchers in the state. Under Miss Larson's supervision a girls' track team was or- ganized with interclass competition in all events for the first time this year. Donald Robertson for seven years has been coaching football and basketball in the school. Both of this year's teams rank among the best the school has had. More interest has been taken in track under Robertsorrs guidance, and the sponsorship o.f a meet by the 20-30 club. In former years track was one of Fallon's minor sports. Harold Curran, a comparatively new member of the high school faculty is the B team coach. The team had an active season and made considerable progress. Several of the players are considered good material for next year's A string. Curran is also as- sistant football coach.

FCC TBALL September 22' The Green Wave made its initial :ip- pearance on the new turf field against the Winnemucca Buckaroos. The game was the typical early season fumble and pray affair. The Green Wave showed flashes of power. however, and had little difficulty in winning 10-0. Fallon played host to the Reno Huskies on September 29. During almost all of the first half the Reno boys shoved the Green and White all over the field. Only numerous fumbles and a few timely tackles kept the Huskies from scoring. Then Reno heaved a nice, long lateral. Charles Lehman happened to be the first Fallon boy to realize that there was a football game going on. he clutched the leath- er. prolate spheriod to his manly chest and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown, After that the game was Fallon's. Downs went over for another marker late in the fourth quarter to cinch the game 13-0. October 6-Fallon played its first out-of-town game with Carson City. Carson didn't have a chance. The Green Wave smashed over three touchdowns and two conver- sions. The game ended 20-0. All the student body accompanied the team to Stewart, not to mention an outstanding turnout of townspeople. But all this support wasn't enough. The Bucks fell on a blocked kick to score in the first minute of play. This early play seemed to daze the Green Wave and Stewart had little trouble, blasting over another touchdown. Then Fallon woke up, blocked a Stewart punt, scored a touchdown and converted. But try as they might, the boys from Fallon could not cross the Bucks' goal line again. Score, 13-7. Stewart. l52l gg g gg ,gg, I,AIlt.mlAH1951 Top, Left to Right-J. Gibbs. I. Inman, D. Harrigan, L.

The Green Wave was lucky to get a 7-0 win. We played the state champs-to-be in one of the best games of the year. It was hard-fought and clean, with Fal- lon having the best of the first three quarters. Then Yer- ington intercepted a pass, Fallon was penalized fifteen yards, and Yerington scored. Armistice Day! The War over! Everyone quit fighting. Fallon foremost in a celebration for everlasting peace. Ely 7, Fallon 0. Oh, yes, the boys in Green really took that Armistice to heart, but those Ely boys didn't observe the great day at all. A fumbled punt. a misjudgment of lines, a knot-headed decision by a referee and the game was gone. The Fallon boys really had an off day and never once made a serious scoring threat. We went to Reno expecting to repeat that pre-season game, butvthe Huskies had a different plan. and after putting up the sloppiest game of the season we came home beaten by 14-6. Fallon fumbled away enough chances to make five touchdowns. but when the game was over Reno had 14 points and we had 6. The last game of the season. The last football game for most of the boys. A happy I don't give a darn team took the field against the Susanville grizzlies, champs of the Northern California conference. The Big Bears took mat- ters in their own hands at once. and slipped a pass over the goal for a touchdown and six points early in the first quarter. Then the Green Wave really went to town for the first time that season. They played a brand of ball that would have beaten any team in this state, and one that did beat the best team in Northern California. Fallon scored twice. once in the second quarter. and once again in the third quarter. They converted both times to make 'Continued on Page Fifty-Fivci l53l LAQ UN l93f7T l54l g g gIAlIClNlfXN glsHf FQGTBALL n 1 Top Row, Left to Right-Dale Miller. John Boden.

Davy Spoon was high point man. The Green Wavelets showed they had the stuff by defeating the Reno B team 25-21 in a thrilling overtime period. Weaver played a fine game and was high point man. Sparks gave the Fallon five the worst drubbing of the year when they fairly mopped the Sparks floor with them, 22-7. Fallon simply could not get going at first, and when they finally did show something, they couldn't hit the basket. Wadsworth beat the B boys 32-36 in a fast free scoring game. Spoon was high point man. Wadsworth made it two in a row when they beat the boys in green on the Wads- worth floor. Wadsworth held an eight-point lead until the last two minutes. Then Fallon went on a scoring spree, chalking up 10 markers in the last two minutes. Too late--too bad. Wadsworth 30, Fallon 22. The Reno B team seems to hold the same fix over Fallon that the A team does. The Reno boys won a slow, uninteresting game-22-13.

Toft and Ito played their first game for the Green and White. Lofthouse tied for scoring honors with Drys- dale of the Muckers at 6 points. Ito of Fallon and Boegle of Virginia City made 5 each to tie for second. December 19-The Green Wave was off to a fast start and the Winnemucca Buck- aroos toppled before a somewhat ragged but determined offense, 17-14. Waldren turned in a nice game and took scoring honors with eight points. After a three-weeks layoff the Fallon boys met the Reno Huskies on the local floor. The game was one of the best and closest of the entire season. The final score, Fallon 35, Reno 34. Lofthouse chalked up 12 markers to lead the scoring, with Paile of the Huskies a close second with 10 points. January 9-A fighting Yerington team, weakened by illness, could do little to stop the Green Wave on the Yerington floor. Though Fallon played one of its worst games, the final score was Fallon 27, Yerington 11. Lofthouse took scoring honors with nine points. January 154-Fallon cannot seem to overcome that old Stewart Jinx. Fallon got off to a flying start and then blew up completely, and never played ball again until the last two minutes. A heart breaker! Stewart 20, Fallon 19. Murphy and Hicks of the Bucks made 10 points each to tie for first honors. Clayton of Fallon made eight and sec- fContinued on Next Page?

The Fallon boys could not seem to hit the hoop and that's the only thing that counts in basketball. Lofthouse again, with six points. January 22-Fallon came out of the slump with a bang, and for the first time in the past several years defeated Sparks on the Sparks court. The game was very fast and exceedingly rough. Both teams fought every minute of the time, and not until Toft dropped in a basket in the last minute was there the least certainty of the outcome. Ito turned in one of the finest 1 games ever seen on a high school court. Even after he was knocked out. he came back to play to the final gun. Guinn of Sparks made 10 points. January 23-We get beat by one and win by two. The Green Wave defeated the Winnemucca five 22-20 in a fast, close game. DeArrieta of the Buckaroos dropped in a basket as the whistle blew for the end of the game, but it was ruled no score, and the game was ours. Waldren must have a grudge against Winnemucca: a good game, 12 points and high man. DeArrieta followed with six. January 29-We defeated a small, inexperienced Dayton quintet 23-12 on the Fallon floor. The game was marked by Fallon's phenomenal streaks of basket missing. Had the Fallon boys had even moderate luck the score might well have been 60-12. Ito made 7 points to lead the scoring. with Toft second at six. February 5-Oh, my! Oh, my!

Farris of the Frosh was high with six, while Toft and Ito led the Fallon boys with two apiece. February 6-The fast traveling Douglas team was slated to eat the Green Wave, guts and feathers, but the feathers tickled their throats. Fallon kept their intestinal fortitude and knocked the Gardnerville five over to a tune of 20-14. Fallon missed enough setups to triple the score, but we didn't make 'em, and, if you don't make 'em, they don't count. Ito held high score with eight points. Miller of Douglas followed with seven. February 13-A cocky. self-confident Fallon five were very nearly knocked off their high horse by a scrappy Serpent quintet. The large Hawthorne floor and a zone defense had the Green Wave guessing. Only superior passing gave the Wave 17-13. Kal- amba.r of the Snakes had eight markers to take scoring honors and Ito followed with six. Lovelock gave us one of the worst whippings of the season. Fallon got off to a good start and then went completely to pieces, and failed to show again until late in the fourth quarter. Lovelock 27, Fallon 19. Montrose of the Mustangs held, high hand with 13 points. The absence of Ito wrought havoc with the Fallon defense. History repeats itself. The Green Wave went down to defeat before a sharpshoot- ing Reno five 17-24. The game was very close all the way, with Reno scoring six points in the last two minutes. Pe- - terson, Reno, made 10 points. Simas making eight. The first game of the district tournament was with Gardnerville. Fallon turned in a fine game to Win easily 31-19. The game was rough, three men going out on person- als. Ito's ankle injury was Fall0n's downfall, and, with our star performer out, Reno had an easy time eating us the next night. Lofthouse scored high with eight points, Miller and Gibbs following with seven each. The sad end of a great season. The Reno Huskies sinking baskets from all over the floor and playing a fine defense game, drubbed a clever. hard fighting but luckless Fallon five 15-27. Fallon got shot after shot, but failed to connect. Reno suffered a serious loss when Canton, fast, sharp-shooting forward, fell and broke his arm. Peterson was flies in our soup once again, scoring 11 points, Hats off to Reno. They fight hard, play clean, and take the bumps squawkless. We need more like 'em.

The game was very close, with Dayton leading 4 points in the first quarter. Fallon girls were able to gather up enough points, however, to win the game. The score was 27-33. The game with Tonopah was cancelled so the girls divided the entire squad into two parts and played that evening against each other. One team was Rainbow Girls and the other non-Rainbow girls. The score was non-Rainbow, 93 Rainbow, 12. The girls showed much improvement from the last game with Dayton when the Dayton team came here. The girls seemed more confident this time and defeated them 20-38. The girls met their first defeat with Gardnerville on the Gardnerville floor. The Gardnerville girls had the advantage over the Fallon girls in height and confidence. The score was 15-36. The trip to Goldfield- was more exciting than the game. The girls ran Goldfield a merry chase and won with a score of 6-26. The whole squad went in a bus. The trip was fine and I'm sure it will never be for- gotten. The Goldfield town team consented to play our BH team so all of the girls had an opportunity to play. Our B team was defeated 34-16, but this game was all in fun and what fun it was! The girls were very much surprised at the Wads- Worth game to find it not as easy as they had expect- ed. The girls played hard and defeated them 29-20. Wilma Newman was high point girl in this game by a large margin. She made 24 points out of the 29. The game was played at Wadsworth. The last game was with Lovelock at Lovelock.

The Broom Squad is properly placed in the humor section of this book since rnem- bership to the squad is gained mostly by those students who enjoy themselves to too great an extent during school hours. As an organization for punishment the Broom Squad has the rare quality of being a service group. Its members keep the floors of the school building well swept and oiled, the windows washed and the blackboards clean. The acquirement of four demerits for misconduct is the only prerequisite for ad- mission to membership. Any student receiving four demerits is required to work for 7V2 hours in the building. For the fifth demerit the time doubles and 15 hours of work are required. With each new acquisition up to eight demerits working hours double the previous number. As soon as a student reaches his eighth and last demerit he is auto- matically suspended from school.
