In nearly all other schools the Seniors publish the book, but thinking that more interest would be taken in it we have made it a school affair. The name Winhada was taken from Winne- mucca, Nevada. This name was selected by a vote of the entire Student Body of the High ' School, and we think it is a name which will please everyone. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the merchants of this town and Reno, for making our book possible. We trust that all wTho read this book will overlook our many mistakes and not be too harsh in their criticism. EDITOR.

We, the J_ the Seniors of the class of 1921, of the Humboldt County High School, feel that we have made considerable im- provement over our predecessors, but like them, we desire to leave a record of the joys and sorrows which we have experienced thru four long years of high school. In order that this ‘ ‘ editorial we ’ ’ may not confuse any of my readers, I will explain first of all, that “we” are the following: Louise Ruckteschler Eleanor Westervelt Viola Defenbaugh Mabel La Pointe Ellen Thacker Grace Sheehan Mabel Riel Marie Lamb Three years ago the greater part of the Graduation class of this year entered the Humboldt County High School. We were like and unlike most incoming classes. Of course we were desig- nated as Freshies and condescendingly looked down upon by the sophisticated upper classmen. However, we did not hold our breath and look frightened when the Seniors deigned to speak to us; nor did we get the class rooms mixed up “after we once got them straightened out.” We even escaped the terror of all poor Freshies, the initiation! We never knew the reason for this, but it is safe to say that we did not mourn the omission. The novelty of our position having worn off in a few weeks, we settled down to hard work, and distracted Freshies could be found moaning over Algebra or rushing through the hall demand- ing where the Latin teacher might be found. It was with smiles of joy that the books were handed in, in June, and Freshies rushed out to return as Sophomores who could lord it over the New Class. After our long summer vacation of three months we returned to school with fresh energy and renewed interest. Just when school affairs had gotten well started and athletics looked most promising, the “flue” broke out and gave a few fortunate ones who did not have the disease themselves, a vacation. Christine Garteiz George Hoskins Philip Roberts Vera Haviland Violet Nelson George Becker Greta Wells Donald Rose « W I N N A D A 13 On our return we were somewhat dismayed to learn that longer lessons were going to be assigned in order to make up for the lost time. However, as it was useless to oppose fate, we grinned and bore it. The weeks and months rolled by, vacation came and went, and in the autumn of 1919 we returned a bunch of care-free Juniors. We could now sit in the Senior and Junior assembly hall, occupy seats once used by Seniors and be almost equal to them in exalted Station without possessing their burdens. During our first two years some of our class mates dropped out but others came to take their place. In our third year Ellen Thacker, Eleanor Westervelt, and George Hoskins joined us. Now George was a sophomore when we were honored with the title of Freshies and when asked why he had taken a vacation for a year he said, “So I could graduate with this brilliant class.” His ex- planation was accepted by some but others think his reason was so that he could graduate with a brilliant one of the class of ’21. In the latter part of the second semester we Juniors gave the departing Seniors a party which proved a success. We eagerly watched the preparations for graduation of the class of ’20 and profusely admired the neat diplomas which they received and all this not without reason; was it not our turn next? The sixth of September! All the students came trooping back to take up their work and among them, we the Seniors. The envied goal was reached but all was not as easy as we expected, for Sen- ior troubles and cares came with the honored name. First was the initiation of the Freshies; the boys were forced to wear dunce caps while the girls appeared with their hair in braids. Naturally other ceremonies were gone through, but they were of a secret nature. Second, came the Annual, although this Annual was to be a school rather than a Senior book; nevertheless, the burden of com- position and publication of it fell on Seniors shoulders. Ellen Thacker was elected editor, and George Becker associate editor, and various other duties were distributed among us. First, watch for a magnificent ball to be given about the middle of May. Watch also, for some really excellent entertain- ments to be given at the American Theatre, and then when we fin- ally appear on the platform for the last time, to receive the last little books H. C. H. S. hands out to us, see if we don’t make a better showing than any other class which has ever graduated from dear old H. C. H. S. ■mm MABIE LAMB ’21 14 W I N N A D A CLASS PROPHESY IT IS five years today since I graduated from H. C. H. S. and for the last few days I have been thinking of all my old classmates, wondering where they are living and what they are doing. This afternoon’s mail brought me a copy of the 1926 annual of H. C. H. S. which contained accounts of the former students who had graduated in ’21. Don Rose is a famous teacher of aesthetic dancing in New York. Marie Lamb is a librarian in the Carnegie library of Chicago. Maryd Bell is playing in the great New York Symphony Or- chestra which is now touring Europe. Yera Haviland is teaching history in the University of Illi- nois. � Viola Defenbaugh and Violet Nelson are both married and are now spending the summer with their children at their cottages on the shore of Lake Tahoe. Mabel Reil is captain of the Y. W. C. A. basket ball team of Oakland, which is making a record for itself in the Eastern States. George Becker is renowned throughout the U. S. as an inven- tor of wireless instruments. George Hoskins is a prominent lawyer of San Francisco. Mabel La-Pointe is married to a prominent lawyer of San Francisco. Christina Grateiz is married to a wealthy farmer of Oregon. Greta Wells is a nurse in the Children’s Hospital of Denver. Ellen Thacker is the secretary of Miss Morgan, the leading suffragette of Nevada, and during the last election, canvassed the state in behalf of Miss Morgan’s candidacy as U. S. Senator. Eleanor Westervelt is married to the principal of the grammar school of Salt Lake City. Philip Roberts is postmaster of the Oakland postoffice. Louis Ruckteschler and Grace Sheehan are proprietors of an exclusive millinery shop on Geary Street, San Francisco. GRACE SHEEHAN ’21 W I N N A D A CLASSMATES EVER Friends we'll meet as we grow older, Hut no better friends than these. Later years mean hearts grown colder, Lacking earlier memories. Later years mean hearts untruthful, Filled with thoughts of selfishness. There, from souls as frank as youthful, Comes the love our lives shall bless. There, between us, no concealment Lies within the out-stretched hand. There we give ourselves revealment, Firmly, truly, do we stand: There’s no wrong that needs correction; Classmates every one a friend, In the bonds of firm affection, Hound together to the end!

C. H, S., is com- prised of one boy and nine girls. But even though they may be small in number they are great in achievements. The only boy in the class, Mateo Legarza, was the captain and the star player of the boy’s basket ball team of 1920-1921. Six of the girls played basket ball of which three made the team. One of these, Miss Fern Lowry, is on “ The 1920-1921 All State Team of Nevada.” Another, Miss Phyllis Poulin, was elected captain of the basket ball team of 1921-1922. Six of the class were qualified to join the Block “ W” Society. Seven of the Juniors are members of the Glee Club, and seven of the Dramatic Club. The Misses Margaret Weber and Blanch Guthrie are assistant editors of the “Humboldt,” a school paper issued twice a week. At the close of the term the Juniors entertained at a progres- sive dinner which was followed by a theatre party. Their guests • were the graduating class. Because of the high standard our Class has attained in scholar- ship and High School activities, and the good companionship of our fellow class men, we are proud that we are Juniors. PHYLLIS I.

We entered our second year at High School with a will, remembered how we had been done by, and went and did likewise to the Freshmen, in har- mony with our own version of the ancient Christian precept. Our class party, the “Sophomore Hop,” was a glorious suc- cess. We venture to affirm without fear of successful contradic- tion by any daring Freshie that our party was one of the jolliest ever given in the High School Gym. Several of our members were on both the basket ball teams, helping to bring victory to the H. C.,H. S. Others are members pf the Dramatic Club and display rare talent in histrionic Art.

The girls were compelled to wear pig tails for a day and the hoys “Dink Caps.” On the 30th of October the Freshmen gave a party which was said by every one to be a success and the Freshmen claim it was the nicest party given this year. ADA MOORE ’24 ...Ada Moore Evalvn Brown W I N N A D A 31 SOCIETY INITIATIONS OX the night of September 17th, the Freshmen girls were ini- tiated into the mysteries of High School life by the upper class girls. When the Frosh had dined on fresh angle worms, and had their teeth pulied, and were given an airplane ride, they were branded with the school emblem as a sign that they were full-fledged members of the II. C. II. S. RECEPTIONS On Friday evening, September 26, the first party of the season was a formal dance and reception given in honor of the teachers and parents. During the evening a delightful program was rendered, as follows: Selection of Songs.. Miss Webb, .Miss Poulin and .Miss Brown Piano Solo...............................................Evalyn Brown Recitation...................................... Margaret Weber Song.......................................................Mrs. Brady Piano Solo.......................................... Ada Moore Dance.............................................Rose Erringer In between the numbers of the program dainty refreshments were served, and about ten o’clock dancing was begun and lasted 32 W I N N A D A until quite late. All enjoyed themselves and said they hoped that the entertainments planned for the future would be as successful as this one. S 6 On Saturday, September 28, the boys of the Freshmen Class were initiated and became full-fledged students of the H. C. H. S. They were given a trip around the world, but the majority seemed to think it a trip around the crater of a volcano. The upper class- boys were taught some new words by the Freshies, but the censor would not let us print them. The affair was greatly enjoyed by all, except a few Freshies, who made threats of murder against the upper class men. On the evening of October 5, the Freshmen gave a dance in the Gym in order to raise money for their class dance, to be given a little later. It was an informal affair and dancing was the main feature of the evening. On Hallowe’en Eve, the Freshmen Glee was held in the High School Auditorium. Ghosts and witches met the guests at the door and' conducted them to the dance hall, which was decorated in orange and black. All sorts of spooky beings flitted here and there; shadowy spirits were everywhere in evidence, while sleepy owls were perched on the imitation fences, and creepy bats hung from the lowered ceiling. During the evening, popcorn, doughnuts and cider were served, which was in keeping with the Hallowe’en spirit. The Freshmen were voted grand entertainers at the close of the evening. W I N N A D A 33 CIRCUS One of the school festivities which every student who at- tended will remember for a long time, was the Circus given by the students on the evening of October 18th. This way for the big show! Peanuts, popcorn, candy, gum and grapes, and hot dogs! Haven’t you all heard this lingo many and many a time? The Circus given by the High School was no exception to the rule. The fat woman and skinny man were there. The animals, whose stunts were done to perfection, were trained by Mr. Hoskins, and the clowns and acrobats would put to shame any you have seen in Ring Ling’s Circus. The music of the “Hoodooed Band” could be compared to nothing less than the braying of donkeys. “Buffalo Bill” would have hung his head in shame, could he have seen the “Wild West Show.” But that what eclipsed the main circus and all the side-shows was the farmer family, who came in from the farm to see the circus. Had Barnum been alive he would have paid $10,000,000 in cash to capture them alive. Mr. Mitchell, as pa and Miss Webb as ma were unique, to say the least, especially the feather boa worn by ma, and pa’s clothes were beyond description. Professor Scott as Hank outshown Lorall Jauntleroy and was surely stingy with his peanuts. Mr. Walker, as Sammy, was surely very popular with the girls, and Miss Bra Me, as Jake, need only to go on the screen to be as pop- ular as Harold Lloyd. Miss Higgins, as Samanthy, could teach the New York “400” manners, and Miss Colyer as Tilda Jane, was busier keeping track of her “try” dad than she is in any English Class. Miss Terrill, as Polly, was the youngest of the bunch, and she certainly completed a wonderful family, that upheld the tradi- tions of the “Rubens Blues” of a “High-Grass Town.” 34 W I N N A D A BANQUET On Friday evening, February nth. a banquet was given in honor of the Basket Ball Girls, by all the pupils of the school; to which the Lovelock Basket Ball Boys were invited, as they were playing a game here, that night. The banquet was held in the Freshmen and Sophomore As- sembly room, which was decorated with a canopy of blue and gold crepe paper. The color was carried out by center pieces of daffo- dils and violets. After the banquet, an informal dance was given in the Gym. The High School Orchestra furnished the music, and everyone en- joyed themselves immensely. The “Block W Society” gave a dinner to the Basket Ball Boys in return for the lovely, twenty pound box of candy they had given them. After dinner an informal dance was given by the teams. W I N N A D A W I N N A D A 37 ATHLETICS THE 1920-1921 Basket Ball season opened with many challenges from various teams of the state. Arrangements were made to re-organize both the boys’ and girls’ teams, necessitated by losing many of the players of last year. Principal J. D. Scott undertook the task of coaching our boys ’ and girls’ teams, and in a large measure credit is due him for his untiring interest in the showings made in basket ball by Humboldt County High School. BOYS’ BASKET BALL Boys’ basket ball in former years has not been a success in Humboldt County High School, lack of interest and talent appar- ently being responsible. Many boys came out for basket ball and a team was finally selected comprising the following members: Mateo Legarza, Captain; Walter Harnies, Joe Organ, Phil Roberts, Donald Rose, Clyde Brown, George Hoskins, Walter Case and Charles Garteiz. Very creditable showing was made by the boys in their games, a fact which enabled them to become contenders at the annual state tournament. November 5, 1920, Lovelock-Winnemucca This was the first game of the season. The Lovelock boys out- played us, winning by a score of 46-19. November 20, 1920, Battle Mountain-Winnemucca Winnemueca played an improved game over the Lovelock game, winning easily by a score of 47-18. December 10, 1920, Winnemucca-Battle Mountain Again we defeated Battle Mountain by a score of 49-31. 38 ‘ WINNADA January 28, 1921, Dayton-Winnemucca H. C. H. S. took the lead at the start of the game and was never headed, due to the clocklike defense of our team. Score 30-12. February 12, 1921, Lovelock-Winnemucca Again the Lovelock team proved too strong for us, defeating us easily by a score of 46-23. February 21, 1921, Winnemucca-Elko H. C. H. S. held their own during the first half of the game, but in the second half we were out-played, Elko winning 420.4. February 28, 1921, Reno-Winnemucca The Reno Champions took the lead during the first few min- utes of play and scored at will. The final score was 48-16. s� e GIRLS’ BASKET BALL Keen interest has always been taken in girls’ basket ball in Humboldt County High School, the girls’ teams holding an unde- feated record for several years. The names of those comprising the 1920-1921 team are as follows: Mable Reil, Captain; Fern Lowry, Theresa Pasquale, Bertha Pearce, Phyllis Poulin, Mar- guerite Otis, La Verne Richardson, Margaret Weber, Blanche Guthrie, Eva Menicucci and Laura Kranz. November 13, 1920, Lovelock at Winnemucca These two teams met for the first time this year and it was nip and tuck from the start to finish, the outcome being in doubt up to the last whistle. The score favored Winnemucca 19-16. December 11,1920, Winnemucca at Lovelock The second game was played at Lovelock and proved to be as interesting as the first. Our girls winning by a score of 26-14, of course. January 22, 1921, Elko at Winnemucca Elko showed superior playing during the first half of this game, displaying team work worthy of much praise. During the second half we played a better and faster game which seemed to unnerve our opponents. The final result being 26-20 in our favor. February 5, 1921, Winnemucca at Elko Elko felt encouraged over their showing against us in the former game but their confidence was soon shaken as the hall was worked to our forwards with machine-line precision. The final result was 45-22 favor of Winnemucca. 0G TOURNAMENT Humboldt County High School boys’ and girls’ teams were participants in the state tournament held at the University of Ne- vada at Reno, March 3, 4, 5. The boys lost their first game played with Gardnerville, the score being 23-21. Their next game was against the Stewart Insti- tution, Humboldt County winning 25-22. In the girls contest, the first game, between Reno, and Winne- mucca proved a victory for us, score 29-9. Our second game was against Gardnerville and again we were victorious 39-12. Love- lock and Winnemucca met on the morning of the last day of the tournament for our third game. This proved again for us the score being 33-30. These three victories enabled us to play the final game with Fallon for the State Championship. This game was one of the most thrilling girls’ games ever played on the Uni- versity gym, in the finals, by a 31-29 score in favor of Fallon. The first quarter lead the spectators to believe that Winne- mucca could out play Fallon, score being 12-2. At the end of the second quarter Winnemucca was still in the lead with a score of 18-10. At the end of the third quarter Fallon was ahead with a score of 21-22. During the last quarter the score was tied, Fallon then making two points which won the championship for them. The final score was 31-29. 40 W I N N A D A W I N N A D A 41 BLOCK � W” SOCIETY President................................. Mabel Reil Vice-President..............................Phyllis Poulin Secretary...................................Bertha Pearce Treasurer............................ Marguerite Otis THE Block “W” Society, which was organized after the tour- nament in Reno in 1920, has been very active this year taking charge of many of the athletic affairs and boosting them in general. The first party was held near the beginning of the basket ball season. It was a general get-together, the boys’ team and Mr. Scott being their guests. Nothing was lacking for a good time. Just before going to the 1921 Tournament the by-laws were changed and the boys eligible to receive letters were admitted for membership. In order to make the occasion one to be remembered by all an initiation and dinner was given to the new members. Twelve new members were given their “W’s” to signify member- ship. All members received sweaters as a symbol of the society and to represent the H. C. H. S. at the tournament. To close the Block “W” activities of this season a classical vaudeville is to be given at the American Theatre, consisting of dancing and musical selections. 42 W I N N A D A GLEE CLUB SOMEONE has said that no day is begun properly that isn’t begun with song. Believing this, the members of the Girls’ Glee Club re-organized last October and every morning for a part of the first period they enjoy a few minutes singing. They have devoted most of their time to learning selections from the operas, though music of lighter vein has been inter- spersed now and then. They have also taken part in all the public performances throughout the year. The members are: Wilma Blattner Christina Garteiz Blanche Guthrie Vera Haviland Ruth Hubbard La Verne Richardson Margaret Weber Ellen Wells Greta Wells Eleanor Westervelt Elsie Summerfield Francis Stewart Helen Stewart Ruby Thompson Eula Holloway Loraine Bolam Evelyn Brown Rose Erringer Lucille Ingram May Livingstone Bessie Saunders Ada Moore Gladys Morse Madeline Smith Wilma Squires W I N N A D A 43 DRAMATIC CLUB OUR Dramatic Organization continued into its second year by producing a very'successful minstrel show. Besides, our club credit must be given to the girls of the glee club, and or- chestra who so willingly offered their services to assure success. The minstrel, after about two weeks of faithful work, was a very pleasant surprise to a very generous public. These colored people (yes they were colored, they weren’t born black) were as much at home on the stage with their back ground of cotton blossoms as were the colored mammies in their Shanties in 1850. , The farces, jokes, and songs were cleverly gotten off and highly appreciated. The old time cake walk in which dem colored gentlemen so gracefully made love to dem colored women was a scream, and the colored orchestra topped off an entertainment that will be long , remembered. Our plans for further activities could not be completed because of various other tasks that seemed first to consider. 44 W I N N A D A EDITORIAL STAFF Top Row—L( ft to Right Ada Moore Freshmen Editor Marguerite Otis Artist Geo.

With the addition of the machines purchased from the government and a great many smaller hand tools and other equipment made by the boys, the shop may be considered well able to handle the work required of it. A great variety of practical and useful work has been done by the boys this year. They have learned to handle the lathes, shaper, power hacksaw, drill-press, etc., like old timers. Not a machine has yet been damaged, nor do the hand tools show any effects of rough handling, which fact speaks very well for the care and interest shown by the boys in the shop course. The hand work and laying out is done at benches extending the full length of one wall or a distance of about fifty feet. This continuous bench carries heavy duty machinist’s vices, and provides working space for fourteen students. A good deal of work is attempted at the large Buffalo forge, as practice in this work is considered essen- tial, due to its usefulness on the many ranches in this part of the country. All the tools of the shop are kept in a small tool room, each tool in its proper place, and as each is required, it is given out upon the receipt of a brass check bearing the number of the stu- dent wanting the tool. The check is hung on a nail in place of the tool handed out. When the latter is returned, the check is given back to its owner. This toolroom checking system is quite common in the machine shops and manufacturing plants in the western part of the country, and prevents loss, checks up the breakage and injury to tools. The Shop promises to be even more complete this coming year with the addition of new machine tools and many improvements made by the students. 46 W I i N N A D A RADIO TELEGRAPHY THE Radio Station has afforded a great deal of profitable pleasure to many of the boys interested in this branch of •electricity. Many an hour has slipped pleasantly and speed- ily by while several “Radio Bugs” sat around the instruments listening to or copying the messages sent out by many distant stations. Communication has been established within a radius of approx- imately one thousand miles. The station has talked directly with the following cities: San Diego, Los Angeles and many other towns in Southern California, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Fresno, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Sacramento, Portland, Ore., Van- couver, Washington, Seattle, and Boise, Idaho, Glasgow, Mon- tana, Salt Lake City, Utah, and a great many other smaller towns within this radius. Government stations on the Atlantic Coast have been easily read several times. With the addition of several in- struments which are not yet completed, this transcontinental re- ception will be easily and reliably accomplished. It is hoped that European Radio stations will also be “picked up” during the win- ter months of the coming year. W I N N A D A 47 ALUMNI CLASS OF 16 h Frank Low, East St. Louis.
