They were: Laura Kranz Walter Case Maxine Moore Ruth Hubbard Beryle Murray Gladys Critchfield Thaddeus Peckenpaugh Basha Callahan Phyllis Poulin Blanch Guthrie Wilma Blattner Grace Schreiner Charles Gartiez La Verne Richardson Ellen Wells joined our class in January, after our flu vacation. Water Case went to Reno at the beginning of the epidemic and Charles Gartiez was forced to leave school on account of sickness, the latter part of the year. All of us Freshmen were mortally afraid of the upper classmen, and their threats of an initiation, but, thanks to our lucky stars, it never materialized. First of all, because of our forced vacation, and, secondly, after school was resumed we were all too busy to be both- ered. Naturally, we did not refresh their minds. Because of the flu epidemic, causing our va- cation, we had very little time for outside activities, so basketball was dropped, but the Freshies were right there when it did come to doing anything, and especially to doing the dishes! The Sophomore year opened with the fol- lowing enrolled: Laura Kranz Ellen Wells Ruth Hubbard Alice Sheldon Mateo Legarza La Verne Basha Callahan Blanch Guthrie Phyllis Poulin Wilma Blattner Grace Schreiner Richardson We were now in a position to inflict the initiation on the freshmen and we did not hesi- tate in doing it. Officers for this year were: President....,...................Phyllis Poulin Vice-President ................Blanch Guthrie Secretary and Treasurer.........Mateo Legarza We were very proud of our five Sophs repre- sented in Basketball, and who helped to win the State Championship that year. Basha Cal- lahan made the All-Star Team of this state. The greater part of the class were members of the Glee Club, and the four following were charter members of the Block “W”: Basha Callahan LaVerne Richardson Phyllis Poulin Blanch Guthrie Phyllis Poulin holding the office of Vice- President of that organization. Ten Juniors appeared in September, 1921. They were: Fern Lowry Wilma Blattner Laura Kranz Blanch Guthrie Ellen Wells Phyllis Poulin Ruth Hubbard Margaret Weber Mateo Legarza La Verne Richardson The Juniors were always on hand when it came to Basketball. Out of the ten, seven played, and Fern Lowry made the All-State Team. Margaret Weber, Mateo Legarza, and Fern Lowry became members of the Block “W,” making a total of five Juniors belonging to that society. The greater part of the class belonged to the Dramatic and Glee Clubs, which together put on the Minstrel Show. Blanch Guthrie was elected Secretary of the Student Body Association for the second semester. Near the close of the year the Juniors en- tertained the Class of ’21 at a progressive dinner and theatre party. The first course was served at Blanch Guthrie’s, the second at Phyllis Poulin’s, the third at Wilma Blattner’s, and fourth at Ruth Hubbard’s. This proved a huge success and a very enjoyable affair. Our Senior year began with all of us back except two, but our numbers were increased by Bessie Sanders and Walter Case, who had been Sophomores the preceding year, and Charles Fishburn, making a total of eleven Seniors. We are “Small but Mighty” and are trying to prove the saying, “It is not quantity but quality that counts,” and believe that we have suc- ceeded. The class officers are: President................La Verne Richardson Vice-President.................Phyllis Poulin Secretary and Treasurer.......Margaret Weber Those holding Student Body offices were: First Semester: President.......................Walter Case Vice-President.................Phyllis Poulin Treasurer.................... Ruth Hubbard Editor “The Humboldt”....LaVerne Richardson Girls’ Athletic Manager.........Blanch Guthrie Boys’ Athletic Manager..........Walter Case Second Semester: President......................Phyllis Poulin Vice-President...........................Wilma Blattner Typing medals were awarded to the follow- ing Seniors: Margaret Weber Ruth Hubbard Phyllis Poulin Blanche Guthrie Walter Case Memberships in the Order of Gregg Artists were granted to: Wilma Blattner Ruth Hubbard Laura Kranz Phyllis Poulin LaVerne Richardson Pins in Penmanship were given to: Margaret Weber Ruth Hubbard Walter Case All but three of the Seniors took part in playing Basketball, five going to Reno to take part in the tournament. The Seniors who be- long to the Block “W” are: Phyllis Poulin Margaret Weber Laura Kranz President Ellen Wells La Verne Richardson Walter Case Secretary Blanch Guthrie All except two of the class are out practicing for Track. Most of the class belong to the Dramatic Club. Three took part in the play entitled “Professor Pep.” It is nearing the end of our Senior year and the Class of ’22 will soon be alumni of Hum- boldt County High School, but we will feel that it belongs to us just the same, and the good times, sports, our schoolmates and our teachers will always hold a large place in our hearts, as we “Climb Though the Rocks be Rugged.” RUTH 0. HUBBARD, ’22. 3 CLASS PROPHESY The other evening I was invited to the home of a former classmate, Mrs. Elson (nee Bessie Sanders) to a dinner in honor of our graduation anniversary. During the course of the evening we discussed and wondered what they were doing now. After returning home I felt the affects of too much mince pie and grape juice. I retired early. I was soon fast asleep and in my dream I saw: Phyllis Poulin, as the world renowned drum- mer, still shy and pretty, heading the top line of the Orpheum Circuit. Accompanying her is a well known Winnemucca boy whose job is to carry the drum. Walter Case, who has just promised to “love, honor and obey” sweet Viola and henceforth will be head of a large Mercantile Store away up north. Ruth Hubbard signing a check for $10,000, the royalty on her latest book, entitled “Why They Called the Annual Winnada.” Margaret Weber, still bright and happy, flit- ting from ward to ward in the Letterman Hos- pital entertaining the wounded soldiers. Charles Fishburn stepping along jauntily with a suitcase in each hand. He is going from door to door peddling platinum cooking uten- sils far cheaper than tinware, since such great quantities of platinum are found near Winne- mucca. La Verne Richardson taking an active inter- est in politics since leaving school, and now I find her seated in the Mayor’s chair of Winne- mucca. Laura Kranz peddling hot popcorn and gum on the Western Pacific and when questioned as to her motive in taking up this work blush- ingly admitted that her name was “Mrs. Smithe” and did this so she could accompany her husband on his trips. Ellen Wells, a famous pianist, touring the world as accompanist to McCormick. Then my eyes seemed to be blinded by the brightness of the spotlight and I saw dancing across the stage amid a deafening applause our old classmate, Blanch Guthrie, who has far eclipsed the famous Pavlowa in dancing. My dream was suddenly terminated by a loud knocking at my door. I jumped out of bed and bounded to the door to find Mother there. “Get up,” she said, “there’s a whole week’s washing for you to do.” WILMA BLATTNER, ’22. CLASS WILL WE, THE GRADUATING CLASS OF ’22, feeling worn and decrepit with old age, but kindly disposed toward the younger students of H.C.H.S., and having a high opin- ion of our many worldly possessions, wish to pass them on to those people whom we know will appreciate them most highly, do hereby make, declare and publish our last Will and Testament: First: To the Faculty, we leave the memory of happy hours spent in leading us “In the flowery paths of knowl- edge.” Second: To the Sophomore Class, who are badly in need of “Pep,” we wish to leave our particular brand, for which we are famous. Third: We wish to leave all the class parties we failed to give to the Juniors, providing they will make all of them as enjoyable and original as the ones they have given in the past. Fourth: To the Juniors, who will be Seniors next year, we will the Senior privileges that never materialized. Fifth: To the noisy, obstreperous Sophomore boys we will our cjuiet, lady-like manners. Sixth: The feminine members of the class wish to leave to those Freshmen girls, who bobbed their hair, our long and fair tresses, to be used for rats, when they start putting up their hair. Our personal effects are to be disposed of as follows: 1. I, Phyllis Poulin, will and bequeath my unbroken tardiness record to Helen Adamson. Also my ability to write my own excuse in case she accidentally should be late. 2. I, Charles Fishburn, leave my latest dance steps to Carl Diess, providing he will guarantee to shake as wicked a foot and swing the girls as merrily as I. 3. I, Ruth Hubbard, do will my position as chaperone of two certain couples to anyone who can keep as close tab on them as I did. 4. I, Margaret Weber, do will and bequeath three bottles of superfluous pep to Mary Hurtado, and my eyebrows to Rose Erringer. 5. I, Laura Kranz, wish to leave “Smitty’s” Ford to next year’s Girls’ Basketball team. May it serve them as faithfully as it did me. 6. I, Bessie Saunders, will my one year of Stenography to anyone who wishes to begin second-year work in that subject. 7. I, Wilma Blattner, beoueath my position as jumping center on the All-State Basketball team to Frankie Beatty. 8. I, Blanch Guthrie, leave my basketball shoes that Mr. Scott so generously donated to the cause, to James Moore, providing his feet fill them up as well as mine did. Also my art of shooting baskets to Margie Otis. 9. I, Ellen Wells, wish to leave my bashful ways and shy manner to Frances Stuart. 10. I, Walter Case, wish to leave my track suit to Altman Reil, nnd my saxophone to anyone who will make better use of it than I did. 11. I, LaVerne Richardson, leave my gracefulness to Joe Legnrza, providing he shares it at times with Hampton. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals, this first day of June in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Two. Witness: Miss Colyer. BLANCH M. GUTHRIE, ’22. JUNIOR CLASS President................ Dewey Nelson Vice-President Clyde Brown Secretary-Treasurer Ruby Thompson MOTTO: '‘Finished Vet llcginnliiK Colors: Ited aril Silver Flower: Red Ca nation JUNIORS WE, THE JUNIORS OF THE CLASS OF 1923, feel that we have done our utmost to make and then to live up to our “peppy” reputation. Our record as it now stands is a bright and shining one. Our entrance into “Hi” was celebrated by an initiation which proved to be a very mysterious affair before (and even after) its occurrence. After the upper classmen had their annual romp with us, we settled down with a strong determination to prove our worth. Before our Freshman year was completed we could boast of having had two girls on the State Basketball team of Nevada for 1919 and 1920, and one girl on the “All-Star Team of the State” for the same years. When the cast of the play, “A Strenuous Life,” was selected, many were surprised to note that the names of five Freshmen were listed. Our “Sophomore Hop” proved to be a splen- did affair and a huge success. It took its right- ful place among the list of successful school activities for that year. Many Sophomores indulged in athletics arid two boys and two girls found places on the 1920-1921 Basketball teams. The Secretary and Treasurer for the Block “W” Society were girls from our class. Four others were on the editorial staff for last year’s “Winnada.” The same interest that was shown in our first two years in High School has been evident throughout this year. The “Junior Prom” was delightful and pleasing to all who attended it. Many Juniors have succeeded in earning Un- derwood speed typing medals, while others have received certificates which entitle them to membership in the Order of Gregg Artists. Girls as well as boys have represented this class in all athletic functions, first in Basketball and now in Track. Six Juniors are lending their talent to help make the school play, for this year, a good one, and five Juniors are striv- ing to gain places on this year’s debating team. BERTHA E. PEARCE, ’23. SOPHOMORE CLASS President..........................Joe Organ Secretary...................Theresa Pasquale Treasurer.......................Bob Bankofier THERE are thirty members in the Sopho- more Class and it is the largest class in the school. The Sophs always are largely represented in all athletics, especially Basketball. In boys’ Basketball, Joe Germain, Charles Brown, Ger- ald Holloway and Joe Organ (Captain), all made first team and also made the trip to Reno. Elsie Summerfield and Theresa Pasquale both were fortunate enough to make girls’ first team, but Theresa, on account of illness, was unable to go to Reno. All of the following Sophomores were qual- ified to join the Block “W” this year. They were: Charles Brown, Joe Germain, Gerald Holloway, Bob Bankofier and Elsie Summer- field. The Sophomore “Hop” was considered as the best affair of the season. Leave it to the “Sophs.” BOB LkHJCOFIER, ’24. I FRESHMAN CLASS THE FRESHMEN entered High School in September. Four weeks afterward were made members of the H.C.H.S. After eating a few frogs, walking across the Sahara desert, and parading the streets in baby buggies, they were done for. Not saying what else happened to them. They were given a big feed and then the Freshies had to wash the dishes. However, the Freshmen now are satis- fied, because there are some small Freshmen coming over in the mid-term. In the mid-term another herd of Freshmen came over and then it was our turn to have the fun. After they ate red peppers, dived for apples in a pan of flour, rolled peanuts with their nose and many other things which we hate to tell about, they were made members of the H.C.H.S. P.S.: The drug stores made money off of the cold cream they sold to the Freshmen. OH, MY NOSE! On the 18th of November the Freshmen gave a dance, after which a feed was served. It was said by everyone to be a big success. TONY PETRINOVICH, ’25. dESJftSsS8IM:9w AND STILLTHE CAMERA WORKS.1 BIRDS OP FEATHER PALS mr WANTED- MEN TENNIS SHARKS COOTIE PRETTY PUPPY LOOK WHO BLEW IN ! GOATS COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT PROGRESS, in the Commercial Department of this High School, has been as much evident as in any course given here. This progress is due not only to the interest and con- stant study of the students following this line of work, but also to those who have endeavored and succeeded in making it a most practical and interesting High School course. How have the teachers succeeded in making it what it is? Simply by making it a game— a huge game which, like all others, has its starting point, its drawbacks, its recompenses, and finally—its goal. The starting point dates from the entrance of a pupil into high school as a Freshie. He begins by shaking his dice to see where his first efforts will place him. He shakes again and again, reaps his reward, and smiles at the little disadvantages that seem an essential thing in this big game he, as a Commercial student, is playing. In this course, stenography students are play- ing their games of “Tests ’ whereby, if they play well, and reach the goal, they will find there awaiting them certificates and pins which entitle them to membership in the Order of Gregg Artists. The typing students are at their game of “Speed—and Accuracy.” Their re- wards are medals, pens, and certificates, and the penmanship students are likewise re- warded. All who are enrolled in these classes have found their efforts worth while and in many cases they have proved to be very profit- able. The bookkeeping students are playing a rewardless game of “Neatness—and En- durity.” Nevertheless it is a success because it requires that all players must put forth their best efforts and be alert in order to be termed a “High-man.” Commercial English students are so far without a game, but the daily pro- gram is made interesting by such features as will best tend to hold the supreme interest of every member of the class. Parliamentary drill practice is one of the main features on the commercial English billboard, while another is the Friday talks on salesmanship, which are given by prominent and experienced business men of this city. This is just a summary of the plan followed which has been responsible for the success and progress witnessed in our Commercial course during the last year; the summary of the plan which will make business men and women of our boys and girls who are playing the game and playing it well. SOCIETY ON SEPTEMBER THE 16th, a “get ac- quainted” party was held in the High School gym. Dancing was enjoyed until quite late, when light refreshments were served. Thursday, September the 22nd, the girls of the Freshman class were initiated by the upper class girls. The Freshies were led through the main streets of town, some dressed as bears, others as monkeys. Especially noticeable among them was the infant in the buggy at- tended by her negro mammy. After the performance on the streets the can- didates were taken back to the High School, where they were made to do various things, such as walk across the Sahara desert, shake hands with the lady ghost and jump over a six- story building. Each Freshman performed a stunt and then read their last will and testa- ment. In the end the upper class girls fed the now full-fledged Freshies welsh rarebit, coffee and mints so as to soothe their ruffled feelings. On the evening of September 30 the Fresh- man boys were initiated. After an evening of great enjoyment for the upper class boys, all that remained of the pocr Freshman was given proper burial. However, even a few survived their funeral, so they were allowed to partake of a sumptuous repast with the others. About the end of September the Domestic Science class served a dinner to about twenty- five Masons. The Masons were all lavish in their praise and promised to come again. The Junior Prom was held November 4. Upon entering the gym the guests were amazed at seeing it transformed so suddenly into a pink and white fairyland. During the grand march fancy caps were presented to all and later in the evening vanity bags were given to the girls as favors and bead rings to the boys. During the evening pie a la mode and coffee were served. The Juniors should be praised for their un- tiring efforts in making their party such a success. On Friday evening, October 14, a reception fcr the parents was given by the Faculty and Students. Dancing was the main feature of the evening. Between dances a delightful pro- gramme was rendered and dainty refreshments were served. On Friday, November the 18th, the Fresh- man Glee was held in the form of a barn dance. The auditorium was appropriately decorated for the occasion. 2 V SOCIETY After the last dance delicious refreshments were served. On the afternoon of Wednesday, November the 23rd, the Mothers met in the Domestic Science rooms for the purpose of forming a Mothers' Club. After the meeting tea was served by the Domestic Science class. On December 2 a dinner was given in honor of the Battle Mountain Basketball boys by the Domestic Science class, to which our boys were invited. December the 16th the boys gave a dance in honor of the girls—the motif being—the girls outstripping them in selling season tickets. During the evening doughnuts and coffee were served. Friday, January 27, the students of H.C.H.S. gave a dance in honor of the incoming Fresh- men. Light refreshments were served. One of the interesting events was that the upper class boys had to dance with the Freshmen girls or else pay a ten-cent fine. After the two games with Fallon on Febru- ary 11 a banquet was served in the Freshman and Sophomore assembly room. All of the Students and Faculty were invited. The as- sembly room was decorated in blue and gold and green and white; the colors of the two schools. A few days before the initiation on March 11 the mid-year Freshies received a pressing invitation to be at the High School at 7:30 p.m. on that date. All of them accepted the upper Students’ most cordial invitation and were there on time. They were then told they were to be initiated. The poor Freshies were fed on chocolates, were made to eat three crackers in three minutes, roll peanuts with their noses, and dive for apples. Finally they were put upon the block and had their heads chopped off. To make friends with them once more, for without Freshmen we would never be com- plete, we fed them on ice cream cones and lollipops. March 17 the Sophomore Hop was held in the gym, which was artistically decorated in green paper and shamrocks. During the inter- missions between dance music, which was played in Seattle for the Engineers’ dance at the U. of N., was heard. Although the music was not loud enough for us to dance by, it was enjoyed by all. Shamrocks and pipes were SOCIETY given out for our souvenirs. At a late hour refreshments were served. March 25 the Block “W” Society held their initiation. Ten girls and boys, at the end of an exciting evening, were declared to be full- fledged Block “W” members. From the rumors around school we heard there was a wedding. Quite late delicious refreshments were served. As the Annual goes to press before the end of school there will be more social affairs, among them the Senior ball, and the “feed” on clean-up day. ADA MOORE, ’24. SENIORS In the year of nineteen eighteen We entered Humboldt Hi; We tackled English, math and everythin’, With a spirit to do or die. We came back in ’19 As members of the Sophomore class; We had a big party and lots of fun; My, but time goes fast. Soon we turned to Juniors And grew very dignified, For weren’t we nearing our goal? With a spirit that never died. Now we’re become stately Seniors, On our home-bound lap are we; Soon our school will be memories And no longer students we’ll be. Some may go to college, Others may go to work; But one thing—always remember— It doesn’t pay to shirk. —W.G.C., ’22. 3' “JANITOR” (Otto Reil) Every morning, bright and early, He approaches the High School doors, Goes in and builds up the fire, And sweeps up all the floors. When Students then come sauntering in, And throw their wraps around, He doesn’t say a word at all, But puts them away safe and sound. He then seen everything’s just so, And puts all things in place; He waters the trees and keeps the grass, Yet still has a smiling face. He’s always handy with his keys; After parties, cleans up our mess; Always giving a helping hand; He’s some fellow, we confess. Who? The Janitor. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Loft to Might—Phyllis Poulin, Guard (Captain); Pert ha Pearce, Guard; I-aVerne Ulchardson, Side Center (substitute); Theresa Pa squale, Guard; Lisle Summerfleld, Guard (substitute); Margaret Weber, Forward; Blanch Guthrie, Forward; Marguerite Otis, Center; Mackle Arant, Side Center; Laura Kranz. Guard (substitute). GIRLS’ ATHLETICS AT THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, Basketball has always been the main feature in Girls’ Athletics. This year every effort was made to work up a team of the strength and ability of those of former years. Those who made the squad were: Phyllis Poulin, Captain; Margaret Weber, Theresa Pasquale, Blanch Guthrie, Bertha Pearce, Mar- guerite Otis, Mackie Arant, LaVerne Richard- son, Elsie Summerfield and Laura Kranz. November 24, 1921—Lovelock at Winne- mucca. This was the first girls’ game of the season. The game was a “walk-away.” The Lovelock girls were somewhat smaller and slower than our girls. The score resulted in 59-11 in our favor. January 14, 1922—Winnemucca at Love- lock. Although the Winnemucca girls were handicapped by the small court, they played a good game, the score favoring Winnemucca: 45-13. February 11, 1922—Fallon at Winnemucca. On the evening of this day our girls met their old rivals—they who had taken the champion- ship from them the previous year. This was the hottest, most exciting and most interesting game ever witnessed by the Winnemucca citi- zens. Our girls held their own all through the game and the score was tied up to the last four minutes, when Fallon scored over our team and the final was 25-22. March 2, 1922—Winnemucca vs. Carson at Reno. The Humboldt Girls’ team were partici- pants in the State Tournament held at Reno at the University of Nevada. The first team they met was that from the Capital City. The Car- son girls were easily defeated by a score of 21-7. March 3, 1922—Winnemucca vs. Reno at Reno. By defeating the Carson Girls the H.C.H.S. Girls won the right to play in the semi-finals against the Reno team. The Reno ets easily won from our girls by a score of 25-5. This heavy defeat was due to our crippled team. It is the first time in the history of the girls’ team of this High School that we were out-played to such an extent. GIRLS’ TRACK A GIRLS’ TRACK MEET is to be held here tested betwen the High School Girls of the early in May at the High School grounds, State. The events contested will be those between Lovelock and Winnemucca which are recognized by the large eastern girls. Many girls are now training for places seminaries, on the team. This will be the first season that Track and Field events have ever been con- THERESA M. PASQUALE, ’24. THE RULE OF THREE HREE things to govern—temper, tongue and conduct. Three things to cultivate—courage, affection and gentleness. Three things to commend—thrift, industry and promptness. Three things to despise—cruelty, arrogance and ingratitude. Three things to wish for—health, friends and contentment. Three things to admire—dignity, graceful- ness and intellectual power. Three things to give—alms to the needy, comfort to the sad, and appreciation of the worthy. BOVS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right—Joe Organ, Guard ((’attain); (’lyrte Grown, Forward; Joe Germain, Forward (substitute); Herald Holloway, Guard (substtute); Mateo Legarsa. Forward; Charles Garths. Guard; Charles Grown, Guard (substitute). BOYS’ ATHLETICS THE BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEASON was a rather successful one for the light ma- terial with which the team was com- posed. Not having a Football team, Basketball practice began early in the term. About twenty boys turned out fGr practice the first night. This number decreased before long, but there were always two teams out. After three weeks of training the following were chosen for the first team: Joe Organ, captain and guard; Charles Gartiez, guard; Bryan Arant, center; Clyde Brown, forward; Mateo Legarza, forward. The following games were played (1921-22): November 24—Lovelock at Winnemucca. We won this game, 21-10. December 2—Battle Mountain at Winne- mucca. We won, the score being 38-26. December 9—Winnemucca at Battle Moun- tain. We won our second game from the “Fighting Hill Five,” by a score of 38-25. December 23—Elko at Winnemucca. We were defeated for the first time in the season by the Elko five. The game was hard fought from start to finish. At the end of the second half the Elko boys led, 29-20. January 14—Winnemucca at Lovelock. The Lovelock boys took an easy victory over our team, winning by the score of 73-38. February 3—Winnemucca at Elko. We fought hard from start to finish. Although we were outweighed a great deal, we made the Elko boys fight to win. The final score was 38-23 in Elko’s favor. February 4—Winnemucca at Wells. Our boys were not in good condition, having played a hard game the night before. The game was close from start to finish. About the last three minutes the Wells team scored a field basket. We fought hard to overcome this lead, but were unable to do so. Wells won, 23-20. February 11—Fallon at Winnemucca. The Fallon team was confident of winning this game, but were a little disappointed when our team walked away from them in the first half by 14-7. In the second half our boys took it easy and the final score was 19-17, in our favor. At the Tournament, March 1, we played our first game against Tonopah. This game was a hard one. Tonopah led the first half 8-4, the second half we came back strong, Tonopah being unable to score. We scored three points this half, but were unable to get the needed basket to win the game. Tonopah won, 8-7. Losing our first game the first day entitled us to play for the Junior cup. We played Wells and won, 27-20. The next day we played Lovelock, losing the game, 30-5. Boys’ Track Meet, May 20, 1922 The Interscholastic Track Meet is to be held BOYS’ ATHLETICS in Winnemucca May 20, this year. With about ten boys and twenty girls out for practice every night, it looks as though Winnemucca would have a good chance in the meet. A silver cup is to be donated by Krenkel Bosch, local jewelers, to the winning team, and a medal will be given to each member that takes first place, a gold medal to any member breaking a state record. These medals are to be given by H.C.H.S. A twenty-dollar gold medal, donated by Dr. Wendell, will be given to the all-around best athlete. SPUD LEGARZA, ’23.

The play was a “scream” from start to finish, the plot being: Act. 1. Professor Pepp’s residence on the college campus. The opening day of school. A trip to Russia. Father comes to college. Act 2. Father is hazed, surrounded by Ni- hilists, Bombs and Bumski! Act 3. A garden party by moonlight, cele- brating the football victory. Bonfire and parades. Father the football hero. The serenade. Aunt Minerva on the warpath. A double wedding. Mrs. George Brady’s dramatic ability was shown by the way in which she coached the cast, bringing out the dramatic ability of the players and making the play the success it was.

My natural love of adventure, which had been stimulated by the tales I had listened to cf the struggles and hardships of the brave pioneers and their fights with the Indians, made me eagerly look forward to the journey. We were to drive a band of cattle over the old northern route which led through High Rock Canyon. In the heat of a summer morning we left the silent desert behind and drove the slow moving cattle along the rocky trail that wound into the canyon, which I felt was rightfully named, as the steep walls increased to an almost perpen- dicular height, and the canyon narrowed as we entered more into the heart of it. I could fancy years before a white-topped group of wagons drawn by the patient oxen along that rough trail. I heard my father explaining to the men: “It was the custom for scouts to ride around and in advance of the other pioneers to avoid surprise attacks from the Indians, but this was very difficult and sometimes impossible on account of the crevices and small canyons breaking into the walls.” “It seems queer to me,” remarked one of the vacqueros, “that a bunch of renegade Indians couldn’t be cleaned out in no time by the sol- diers at Fort Bidwell, but it appears that the massacres and attacks occurred for many years.” “They were even too much for the soldiers,” was the answer; “they seemed to disappear by magic after committing their murderous deeds, and as expert as some of the soldiers were at tracking, by some hook or crook the Indians gave them the slip. It is a mystery unsolved.” I took a special delight in mysteries and here was one that had been the cause of much dis- tress in the years gone by. Perhaps those giant walls might hold the secret and might have longed for a voice to tell the small creatures of earth a story which might have saved a good many lives. But I sighed when I thought what a small chance I had of solving the mystery. I was getting rather weary of the heat and from riding so much, for we had covered a good many miles when we came suddenly upon a wide-open space where the canyon had broadened considerably, although the walls were even steeper and higher than ever and looked as if composed of solid rock. Much to my relief I found we were to stop there the v LITERATURE rest of the day. After dinner the vaqueros went to scatter the cattle over an old cow trail, so having noth- ing else to do, my father got out his guns and while inspecting them asked me if I wanted to go hunting with him. Immediately my fatigue vanished and I sprang up delighted at the idea. So we started out in a little while and we had wandered around over the rocks for a consider- able length of time when suddenly I caught hold of Dad’s arm. “Look,” I cried, and pointed to a motionless figure with a tiny pair of ears held straight in the air, “what is that?” “It’s a wildcat; keep quiet,” he answered, and raised his rifle, but quick as a flash the animal gave a cry and turning in almost a second seemed to vanish in the walls. We were both almost too astonished to speak, for it seemed almost an impossible thing fcr anything to go into solid wall. However, we proceeded to investigate and went very cautiously over the rocky ground toward the place where the wild cat had disappeared. Much to our surprise we found there were two walls, one in front of the other, and a narrow passage between them, making it look like one solid wall. This trail was filled with large boulders, making it very difficult for us to go any farther, but our curiosity was so strong to find where it would lead us that we managed to go on. Finally we came to a valley some hundreds of feet across, completely surrounded by the natural walls and filled with rye grass. “A hidden valley,” I exclaimed; “but what is that black spot over there? My father answered that we would go and find out, and in a few minutes we came to the mouth of a large cave from which arose the peculiar smell of the savages. We were ex- tremely cautious while inspecting it for fear it might now be the rendezvous of wildcats, but we discovered nothing of interest except some petrified sagebrush on the ground. “The mystery is beginning to unravel,” said my father, as we came to the mouth of the cave again. “This valley was undoubtedly where those treacherous savages lived that committed so many massacres. It is no wonder the sol- diers couldn’t track them, and if they had a few hundred Indians could have stood off a whole regiment of soldiers. Besides that,” he continued, “they could shoot over the top of those walls down on the travelers and no one could tell where the attacks were coming fr: m.” I said nothing, but felt a good deal, now that the mystery had been solved. So we proceeded almost in silence along the trail that led out of the valley and as I looked back for a farewell vs. LITERATURE glance at the silent place I saw that the won- derful lamp of day before plunging into the dark chasm of night had blazed forth in all its glory, turned the heavens into a fiery red and lit the hidden uninhabited valley with a flood of light. So it was in the dusk of the evening that we made our way back to camp. The never- ceasing croak of the frogs came from a stream that flowed through the canyon, the night hawks went swooping through the air, sending forth their piercing call, the mysterious old owl from the mountain top cried whoo, whoo, and the echo answered whoo, whoo from the opposite mountain, and when the long, lone- some yelp of a coyote fell on our ears my heart went out in sympathy to those who had braved the dangers of this trail of death that the west might prosper and be what it is today.

FARE-THEE-WELL-OLD-CALENDAR UNTIL-NEXT-YEAR SHOP NOTES THERE has been no addition to the ma- chine tool equipment of the Shop this year. However, it is hoped that a mill- ing machine will be added next year. This tool is all that is needed to complete the list of tools and make the Shop one of the best in the state. A great variety of work can be performed easily and quickly in a milling machine. Such operations as key-seating, surfacing, forming, gear-cutting are quickly and accurately exe- cuted. We are hoping that the coming year will bring us a new milling machine. A few of the jobs undertaken in the shop recently are: a babbiting jig for rebabbiting Reo connecting rods. Castings for this tool were made in Reno from our patterns and the machine work done in the shop. A large size, upright electric reflecting heater. A great many hand tools and much working material have been added to the tool room dur- ing the year, so that the shop is now in much better shape than at any time heretofore. Next year looks like a very busy year for the Shop. There will be plenty of work, plenty of mate- rial to work with, good equipment of tools and a larger class than usual. It is expected that ten or twelve boys will enter the shop course next year, as against six this year. CHARLES GARTIEZ, ’23. ALUMNI Class of '16 Frank Low, East St. Louis.
