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.

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.
