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.
