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.

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

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.
