SENIOR CLASS HISTORY T N SEPTEMBER, 1918, a very frightened but curious bunch of Freshies entered the Hum- boldt County High School. 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.
