SHONE, Member EDITOR’S COMMENT PAUSE, for a moment, dear readers, in your 'perusal of this little volume of our year book. You will, perhaps, while scanning its s pages, find faults an dhave cause for comment. Criticism is always welcome, provided it is the constructive kind. But before dealing too harshly with us, stop and think for a moment of the many difficulties to be met and overcome in publishing a book of this kind. Remember the many petty worries that distract the mind from the work at hand. The members of the staff have been loyal in giving their hearty support in editing the book, and deserve the highest of praise. In fact everyone, faculty, student body and townspeople have all given their best to the success of our “Winnada.” This year the colors chosen for the book are green and gold, which represent the Senior class of 1924. An innovation new to this school is the use of Color Inserts instead of sketches for the title pages of the various departments. We hope they prove successful, as it is our desire to improve our book in every way possible. We present Volume Five of the “Winnada” to you with the sincere wish that you may find as much pleasure in reading its contents as we have found in preparing them. —EDITOR. FOREWORD THE PURPOSE served by this annual is two-fold. It perpetuates a tradition established five years ago and is the fifth of its kind to be printed for Humboldt County High School. It is also a year book. In it are recorded the events of the school year. In it and others of its scope, the students find on record all those things that for the time engaged their attention and have now become matters of school history. Like the Roman god, Janus, it looks two ways. KARL W. MITCHELL, Principal. e t 5 1 + «• •% « V o — SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1THE fall of 1920 a freshman class consisting of 31 members enter- ed Humboldt County High School. They were Robert Adamson, James Baber, Robert Bankofier, Lorene Bolam, Hampton Brady, Charles Brown, Doris Brown, Evalyn Brown, Fred Defenbaugh, Rose Erringer, Joe Germain, Elwyn Hubbard, Floyd Hurtado, Mary Hurtado, } Lucille Ingram, Emma Liotard, Ada Moore, Ray Moore, Gladys Morse, V Henry O’Carroll, Joe Organ, Therese Pasquale, Francis Pearce, Made- line Smith, Phyllis Smith, Elsie Summerfield, Jack Tobin, George Watt, • Lucile Baltazar, and Gerald Holloway. rt 1 ’ Soon after school started the freshman boys went on a voyage of exploration across the “Sahara Desert” wearing electric boots kindly 4 provided by the electric wizard, George Becker. Painfully and man- fully we endured these tortures with the helpful ministrations of force- ful language on the part of Ray Moore, and in due time became full- fledged Freshmen. And, freshmen though we were, we battled royally for our rights, winning from the Sophomores against great odds. Our first social appearance was noted. This “Frosh Blow-out” had the largest attendance of any dance during the year. The refreshments consisted of coffee, cake, and ice cream, and were duly enjoyed by all. A splendid time was had by everyone, and a vote conceding the freshies to be real entertainers was given. We were well represented in basketball and track, our athletes be- ing, Fred Defenbaugh, Gerald Holloway, Elwyn Hubbard, Charles Brown, Martin Echave, and Joe Organ. In our Junior year several new students were added to the roll call and many of the old familiar faces were no longer to be seen. Elmer Lyon and Ben Meyers became class members of whom we are justly proud. During this year some of our more ambitious class-mates earned extra credits, became Seniors, and thus graduated in three years. These pupils were Gerald Holloway, Emma Liotard, Therese Pasquale, Ada Moore, and May Livingstone. We were again well represented in athletics, having three out of five places on the basketball team and several valuable track team members. In our senior year we both gained and lost in membership. The en- tire student body was saddened by the death of Rose Erringer. Segunda Laucerica left our ranks to become a bride. Geraldine Harvey and Louise Van Drielen entered our class, Geraldine climbing from the Jun- ior class, and Louise being a transfer from Fallon. Now, on the eve of graduation we claim seventeen members; and, as this class of 1924 em- barks upon the voyage of life, may God Bless each and every member of that glorious class of which we are members.

One early fall day while wandering through the rugged hills of Northern Humboldt County, I lost my way. And, not knowing whi- ther to turn my footsteps, bethought myself of seeking shelter for the night. After tramping for some time, and climbing to a great altitude, I at last reached the summit of a high peak. Gazing down into the can- yon, I discerned the curl of smoke rising from the base of huge cliff. “This,” thought I, “must be my refuge for the night.” Accordingly, I descended into the gathering dusk, arriving at the point where the smoke issued from the face of the cliff. Standing at the entrance of a cave, I gazed upon a sight so weired and fanciful as to be beyond the power of any devotee of the Black Art to conjure up in the mind. There beside a dying fire sat an ancient denizen of the desert. At the sound of my entrance his reverie seemed broken. As if my intru- sion had led his thoughts to sudden speech he spoke, and I listened, spell-bound. “Twas long ago, away back in '24, when my classmates left forever the portals of Humboldt county Hi to glean a broader knowledge of life through the rocky paths of experience. Sadly did we part, each to his destmy, pre-determined by the Fates. Little did they realize what Life had in store for them. “However, our common interests still serving as a connecting link, I have been able to keep a chronicle through the years that have passed, of the varied fortune of my beloved classmates. My records of- the entire class extended to the year 1944. From that time on their ways divurged to such an extent that a complete chronicle was im- possible. “At that time my dear friend, Elmer Lyon, died at the hands of a rebel bandit, upon his successful reorganization of the Mexican govern- ment, and I betook myself to these lonely hills, astounded and stricken to the heart at the base ingratitude of a heartless world. So I shall quote to you the last passages of my never-to-be-completed manuscript. ‘“Thursday, April 1, 1944. Madame Sutton, perfecter of the fam- ous Sutton Radio Reducer, has just returned after installing her re- ducer in the sanctuary of Sheik Hubbard’s harem. “The Sheik is reported to have just returned from a raid on Bad- Man Bankofier, bandit of the far east, notorious ruler in the mountains of Afghanistan. This bold tyrant carried off Geraldinio Harverinio, Hubbard’s world-famed snake dancer. “‘Friday, April 13. The divorce courts of Paris are contesting vigorously for the case of Madame Germaine, nee Pearce, vs. Josephus Germaine, famous style creator and ladies’ modieste of the French capi- tal. Count Legarza, who recently inherited a vast estate at Monte Carlo, is named as the affinity. “ It is rumored that Monsieur Germaine will retain as his attorney Miss Elsie Summerfield, a noted suffragette leader and president of the American Bar Association. ‘“July4. Jose Organ, financier of the Organolia Chain of grocery stores throughout the United States, presided at a barbecue given to the members of the United Ash Can Association. This barbecue, which was given on the White House lawn, was the largest assemblage of human beings since the time of Coxey’s army. “‘One of the prominent speakers of the day was Secretary of State Defenbaugh, a prominent figure in recent politics because of his opposi- tion to a bill introduced into the House by Senator Hurtado from Ne- vada, which places a tax on families numbering over seven. (Defen- baugh is known to be the proud father of three sets of triplets, and the recent arrival of a set of twins is probably the cause of his vigorous protest.) ‘“August. Dr. H. Lee-Wade Brady, eminent physician and surgeon celebrated his thirty-eighth birthday by performing a successful major operation on the cerebellum of Senor Echave, illustrious tango dancer of Ziegfield Follies, who found it impossible to make his legs reach from the hips to the ground. Due to his sad mishap, Echave will doubtless be unable to perform with his usual grace in the future. “‘ November. Mrs. M. Legarza, better known as Louisville Lou, while marching beside her husband, a hero of the second World War, in an Armistice Day parade, stumbled over an inverted crack in the pa- vement, and sprained her ankle. However, according to hearsay, the foot was protected with insurance of $10,000 on account of being judg- ed the most beautiful in contour and symmetry. “The accident occurred just opposite a soap box orator, Laetitiea Blue-Law Brown, known as a second Billy Sunday, interrupting her discussion of “The Bad Effects of French Heels on Middle-Aged Ped- estrians.’” Here the tale ended. As I gazed about me I was amazed and hor- rified to find the walls adorned with empty Chesterfield cigarette car- tons. My attention was again centered upon the grotesque figure. With breath coming fast it gasped, “My task is finished. I go now to join my classmates.” As these last words were uttered, he fell to the floor. After bury- ing him next morning at the mouth of his lonely cave, my thoughts re- verted to the chronicle he bad so strangely recorded. I found it lying where it had fallen from his lifeless grasp. On the last page of the strange story, at the end, was Written: ‘Recorded by Frederick Easton Benjamin Meyers.’ With this valuable manuscript under my arm, I sought out a way of escaping from the place of death, and left the phantom scene. “At last,” thought I, “authentic history of the Twentieth Century, can now be placed on the market.” E. LYON and E. BROWN. SENIOR CLASS WILL WE, THE class of ’24, after battling long and strenuously through trials of school life, do will and bequeath to our inferiors, the under classmen, individually and collectively, hoping that they reap ample benefit therby: To said underclassmen, the silver loving cup won by us as winners of the Lyceum Course ticket sales contest. To the Juniors, our assembly room, we have no more use for it. To the Sophomores, our motto, “God Bless Our Home,” which we fought for and won in fair and equal contest. To teh Freshmen, our Senior privileges, providing they take them the first semester. To the shop, the privilege of erasing our initials from our desks. To the Faculty, our powers of leadership, hoping that they make use of them as well as we did. I, Bob Bankofier, do hereby will and bequeath my lily-white com- plexion to “Dusty” Kennedy, provided he use Woodbury’s soap to culti- vate his whiskers, as I did. I. Hampton Brady, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to con- quer wild mustangs and play in the orchestra and get away with it to Joseph Lorentz. I, Fred Defenbaugh, do will and bequeath to Earl Stone my ability as a “sticker” providing he doesn’t get stuck as bad as I did. I, Martin Echave, do hereby will and bequeath my athletic ability and noisy ways to Frank Gartiez, if he will benefit by them. I, Joe Germain, do hereby will and bequeath my undying affection for Lillian Pearce to anybody who would have better luck than I did. I, Geraldine Harvey, do bequeath my loving ways and studious habits to Alice Gartiez. I, Elwyn Hubbard, do will and bequeath to anybody that rides with Roy Kelsey, my double-jointed ability to “snake” out of an over-turned car. I, Mary Hurtado, do will and bequeath to Helen Garrett my love for General Science. I, Joe Legarza, do will and bequeath to “Shrimp” Germain my love for Lovelock girls. I, Elmer Lyon, do will and bequeath my place at the steering wheel of a Buick to someone who can do a better job than I did. I, Ben Myers, do will and bequeath my socialistic ideas and ways of getting by in classes to Oddie Lupien. I, Joe Organ, do will and bequeath my Star car and a tank of gas to Miss Gleason, hoping she doesn’t have to go home too often. I, Lillian Pearce, do will and bequeath my lipstick, powder and lapperish ways to Imelda Germain hoping she gets by as good as I tried to. I, Elsie Summerfield, do will and bequeath my boyish ways and strength to Blanche Cosby along with My Basketball outfit. I, Eileen Sutton, do will and bequeath My method on “The Best Way To Reduce,” to Gladys Tregaskis hoping she exists. I, Louise Van Drielan, do will and bequeath my craving for milers and Buick cars to anyone who feels lucky.

Student Body com- menced September 7, 1921, when we braved the amused glances v and superior arts of the upper classmen and silently did the “hesitation step” up the walk and into the building. To the students and faculty we probably looked green, but we ourselves felt greener, and undoubtedly we acted like the greenest bunch of Freshies that ever tottered on the brink of “Initiation.” After four weeks of grace we were taken in hand and initiated. Very little need be said about this affair because no matter how painful it is to recall the incident, you have all been there once and our initiation was much like yours. It consisted chiefly in furnishing an evening’s fun for the Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors, and in making us feel most ridiculous and unnecessary. However, during the school year we were able to convince all that we were not entirely worthless. The Fresh- man Glee given in the form of a Hard Times Dance was proof of what we could do. This affair was listed with the successful social events of the school year ’21-’22. Our Sophomore year commenced with all of our class back with the exception of two, and three new pupils (Margie Smith, Hazel Whit- aker, and Lyle Kramer) became members of our class. Everyone put forth Jiis best effort to make this year a good one. Many took active parts in athletics and one Soph was given a place on the Winnada Staff. We went over the top in the Red Gross campaign with a silver cup to our credit and a dance in honor of our good work. The out- come of the Sophomore Hop proved that we had not lost our reputa- tion as good entertainers. This, our-Junior year, has far surpassed our two preceding years in Hi. Members of our class have been prominent in basket-ball. These are:- Ida Lorentz, Lona Abel, Myrle Trousdale, Bertis Goldsworthy, Fred Holloway, Robert Kennedy, and Frank Gartiez. During the basketball season our class won three banners for the sale of the most basketball tickets. At the beginning of our Junior year two new members (Junior Leidy a nd Emma Duarte) entered our class, and during the year three Freshmen (Myrle Trousdale, Mabel Connor and Mary Quilici) left the Freshman class to become Juniors in order that they might complete their course in three years, and Segunda Laucerica and Geraldine Har- vey left the Junior class to become Seniors for the same reason. Now we, the class of ’25, are looking forward to the next school term, our Senior year. We hope to do as much or more than we have yet accomplished that we might leave to H. C. H. S. a record of which such a school is worthy. President .......................

Was it St. Patrick’s Day? No, for this was not March 17. On nearing H. C. H. S. they developed to be small groups of poor Freshies entering the school to be laughed and sneered at, as the joke for the coming year. But this did not last long, for we soon overlooked the mockery of the upper classmen, and began to feel at home. About a week after entering, each group was initiated and after this elected officers. On the evening of March 17 we gave a very successful dance. But now at last the green age is over, and we are dignified Sopho- mores. Upon returning in the fall we were very sorry to discover that two of oar classmates, Carol Savage and Edith Hibbard, had moved away. Our number was increased for a short time by Teddie Webb, and we are very glad to have Ralph Adamson back with us after a short absence. It did not seem to fall to our lot to have many in athletics this year, but we were represented by one who was one of the best players on the girls’ team. She received honorable mention at the tournament and also was elected secretary of the Block W. Her name is Frances Otis, but to us she is more commonly known as “Oats.” Our reputation for entertaining, so well established last year, was in no way diminished on December 6th when we gave our second dance. It was quite original, consisting of a canopy of blue with silver stars of all sizes, silver and blue being our class colors. There was also entertain- ment, which included a dance by Susie Abel and Vera Leonard, and a song and dance by Bernice Rossier and Estelle Petrinovich. Drinks (rather punch) were served during the entire evening. We have been assisted throughout the year by Miss Gertrude Webb, our sponsor, to whom we wish to show our appreciation. As guileless Freshmen we were happy in our awkward innocence. We are now enjoying our Sophomore year, but we are eager to begin next fall, the last half of our High School course.

FRESHMAN HISTORY ONLY EIGHT brief months have passed, since we were a group of frightened, wondering freshies to be .living in anticipation of the initiations we were to receive from those upper classmen who wait- ed patiently for the opportunity to usher us into their well prepared reception room—so to speak; wherein each freshie pays the penalty. On the fact that we emerged safely from the hands of our superiors and are now rapidly approaching the termination of our first year in high school, we find sufficient time to rejoice, and our thoughts revert pleasantly to numerous occasions, that created considerable enjoy- ment for us. In summarizing the most important events during our first year of high school, we find that the Freshman Party was by far the most im- portant. On October 26th we decorated the hall in our class colors, black and orange, which was very appropriate for the Hallowe’en season. Another happening during the year which we did not anticipate as much as we did the party, was the Freshman initiation. But once we were half way through we all wanted to stay, for it was a pleasure quite unique and one not often had. These Freshmen were glad to have their numbers increased by seven new' Freshmen at the beginning of the second semester. Thus making a group of twenty-six. GERALDINE BLATTNER.

LITERARY J “THE FOUNDING OF PARADISE” About the first of June, 1863, a number of men started from Star City with the intentions of prospecting the mountains on the north side of the Humboldt. They followed the western slope of mountains, and when they reached the summit and looked down, they saw a beautiful valley. They were very much surprised and exclaimed, “What a Para- dise!” and thus gave the name to the valley. The men were so elated with the discovery that they lost no time in taking possession of home- steads. In 1864 more people rushed into the valley. Mark Haviland and Jacob Hufferd were the first men to bring their families into the valley and later others followed. These pioneers made houses of turf and such other material as was on hand, and set up housekeeping with the pros- pect of eventually building comfortable homes. The following season the settlers engaged in farming. Early in the spring of 1865, thousands of savages that had been hiding in the canons made their appearance. Later on April fourth, two friendly Indians, who came to Nichols’ place very much excited, report- ed that in two or three days the Indians were going to kill all the white men, and advised, or rather entreated, them to leave immediately. Cir- cumstances prevented some from doing so, and some of the settlers were killed, while the others came to Winnemucca until the trouble was over. It was not until 1869 that the settlers felt sure of their homes. Since 1870 the settlement and improvement of the valley has been increasing rapidly. It is to these first settlers—these pioneers—that the West must turn to in gratitude and praise. These are the people who spanned the impossible—the East and the West—and made them one.

It is to these first settlers—these pioneers—that the West must turn to in gratitude and praise. These are the people who spanned the impossible—the East and the West—and made them one.

BLOCK “W” SOCIETY AFTER THE BASKETBALL season the Block W Society was re- organized by the old members, who were the following: Joe Ger- main, Elmer Lyon, Elwyn Hubbard, Elsie Summerfield, Fred Def- enbaugh, Frances Otis, Evalyn Brown, Robert Bankofier, Joe Organ and Martin Echave. New members were initiated. They were: Lillian Pearce, Louise Van Drielan, Lona Abel, Myrle Trousdale, Bertis Goldsworthy, Fred Hollo- way, Robert Kennedy and Frank Gartiez. The officers who were elected for the year 1923-24 were: president, Bertis Goldsworthy; secretary, Francis Otis; treasurer, Ida Lorentz. No officers were chosen from the Senior class, as it was though best to choose members who would be able to carry on the work next year. JOE GERMAIN. ACTIVITIES Clean-Up Dap Annual Clean-Up Day, April 11, 1924. Most of the boys came pre- pared with picks and shovels, etc. Honestly some of them worked pretty hard; at least they carried a few weeds away and made the 3S- grounds look fairly good until the next wind. At noon a big feed was served to the dear hard working boys by the girls in the “Gym.” Bob was toastmaster and he called upon the faculty and some of the stu- dent body to give addresses. Every one had plenty to eat because there were oodles of sandwiches and cake left for the dance that night. I am sure there aren’t many bashful ones at H. C. H. S. The Frosh boys swept the “Gym” and the little Frosh girls washed the dishes (of course they were most willing). Little or no work was done in the afternoon, the majority loafed and had a good time, all anticipating the plays and dance that night. The boys really must have some rest. Initiation of Frosh Girls The first social event of the year was the initiation of the Frosh girls, September 14, 1923. They took their mal-treatment like good Indians. Indeed they proved themselves fine sports, they were very generous in their “Wills.” Refreshments were served in order to recuperate the suffering children. Initiation of Frosh Boys In the initiation of the Frosh boys, September 20, 1923, much to their disgust, the upper classmen made them dress in knickerbockers and short dresses and parade over town. It was family night at the Ameri- can, so they gave oath to the ticket collector that the ten were all ox one family, consequently they all gained admittance to the movie on one ticket. THE ANNUAL THIS BOOK is the fifth of its kind to be published by the students of our school. In former years, each staff has attempted to make each succeeding book better than the one before, and they have suc- ceeded. And that has been the aim of the present staff. The mem- bers worked long and hard in their efforts toward improvement, and now they present the Fifth “Winnada” to their patrons for judgment. The editor and staff of an annual have a hard row to hoe. There are many things to impede progress, and these have to be met and over- come, one by one. They have earnestly endeavored to publish a book representative of the standards of the school, and, in presenting it, feel that they have put forth their best efforts in accomplishing this. Un- doubtedly there will be faults in the book. But the staff has striven to make it as grammatically correct as possible. The printers have co- operated with us to in every way, and we are sure the student body will appreciate that fact. Without their aid, we would undoubtedly have had a much harder time in getting the book ready for the press. The name “Winnada” is compounded from the names of our native town and state, Winnemucca, Nevada. This name was chosen by a popular vote of the entire student body several years ago. The book of the year preceding that had been christened “Siwabe,” which is an Indian word meaning “sagebrush.” However, many were dissatisfied, and brought the matter before the school, the result being the change in name just mentioned. Since that time, the name “Winnada” has been retained and we hope that future classes will have no cause for dispute. It is with pleasure that we make note of the unswerving support that our patrons and advertisers have given us when called on. THE HUMBOLDT AT THE first meeting of the Student Body it was decided to put our a school paper during the entire year, and the Body immediately elected an Editor, Bertis Goldsworthy, and an ass stant Editor, Ben Myers. They were to hold their offices for one semester, and a new editor and assistant for the remaining half-year. Evalyn Brown and Ida Gregg were elected Business Managers, and immediately proceeded to “get things going.” It was decided to pub- lish the weekly paper as a four sheet edition. It was to be published from the press of the “Silver State,” which was a decided improvement over last year, when it was published as a separate column in the Silver State and the Humboldt Star, alternating each week. The paper was a great success. Over two hundred copies were printed each week, and there were many subscribers outside the school and the town, even one in far-away St. Louis. The paper was put out regularly each week, and received the whole-hearted support of the Student Body. At the beginning of the new semester, Horace Adams was elected Editor, with Elmer Lyon as Assistant Editor. They continued to pub- lish the paper until the last of the school in the same manner as their predecessors. We would like to thank the business men of the town who have given us their ‘ads’ to use in the paper, and we are also indebted to the Student Body, who so ably assisted in the gathering of the news of the School. Without them the paper could not have materialized, nor have been the success that it was. HORACE ADAMS. SOCIETY A Get-To-Gether Dance At the first dance of the year, September 21, 1923, (some pep) Miss Purtell discovered some bashful ones in a corner and proceeded to get them acquainted with the Frosh girls. Punch was served—Sheriff Brady took the first drink, and gave his approval (on with the dance) being that there was no “punch” in the punch. Just a Dance On October 12, 1923, “Just a Dance” was given just for fun. It started at eight which really means nine when there is a dance, accord- ing to Ben Meyers (one who knows). When it started, everyone thor- oughly enjoyed themselves. Of course, a few Door mothers and fathers were shamefully neglected. One young gentleman afforded consider- able amusement by coming in contact with the floor in a rather forc- ible manner. Coffee and sandwiches were served. Frosh Glee The Frosh gave their annual party, October 26, 1923. The hall was artistically decorated in class colors, black and orange.

A grand march DRAMATICS UNDER THE untiring efforts of Miss Purtell and Mrs. Brady a. very successful pageant was given in honor of the Federation of Women’s Clubs, October 5th, 1923. Most of the High School girls took part, wearing dresses to represent almost every nation in the world. Each one in the pageant danced and sang songs peculiar to his nation, as he came in, to help form a semi-circle around the Goddess of Liberty. It was done extremely well and very effectively. Two one-act comedy farces were presented by the Public Speaking class on the night of April 11th, which were very different from most plays. The first play, “The Burglar,” consisted only of girls and every second of it was full of action and mystery. The cast was: Eileen Sutton, Elsie Summerfield, Evalyn Brown, Lillian Pearce and Louise Van Drielen. Next came the boys’ play, “A Girl to Order.” It was quite a mix-up, but finally in the end things were straightened out when the real girl appeared. The cast were: Robert Bankofier, Elmer Lyon, Fred Defenbaugh, Phil Blume, Edmund Recanzone and Lillian Pearce. Both plays showed the results of long and careful coaching by Miss Hildred Gleason. The Seniors are giving the very popular play, “What Happened to Jones.” It is chuck full of action and humor, there are many comical incidents which happen during the action of the play. It keeps you laughing all the while. Jones certainly has an awful time, but finally the plot is unwoven. Then comes the thrilling climax and Jones clev- erly decieves most of them and “gets by” with it. The cast is: Jones —Elmer Lyon, Ebenezer Goodly—Ben Myers, Mrs. Goodly—Geraldine Harvey, Richard—Robert Bankofier, Bishop—Hampton Brady, Holder Fred Defenbaugh, Big Bee—Joe Germain, Fuller—Joe Organ, Cissy —Lillian Pearce, Marjorie—Louise Van Drielen, Minerva—Elsie Sum- merfield, Alvina—Evalyn Brown, Helma—Eileen Sutton. LILLIAN PEARCE. ------------o---------- Exchanges Last year we received quite a number of requests for exchanges, but were unable to send them, as only a limited number of the books were published. However, this year we hope to be able to return the courtesy extended to us by those schools, and send them copies of our year book. - Scholarships One of the biggest things accomplished in this last yeax has been the establishment by the ladies’ Civic Club of Winnemucca a scholar-’ ship for the graduating classes of the Humboldt County High School. While it was established this year, it does not become available until 1925. It is offered to that graduate of the high school who ranks not only best in scholarship, but who also by his or her acts shows himself an all-around student—in scholarship, athletics, social and moral ac- tivities and civic patriotism. The value of the scholarship is $100.00.- It is also a requirement that the holder of the scholarship shall attend' the University of Nevada. By rqason of the fact that Mrs. J. A. Lang- with was one of the staunches supporters and proponents of tlje schol- arship idea, the fund has been called, out of regard to hennemory, the Langwith Scholarship Fund. CALENDAR « SEPTEMBER: 5.

The team made a bet- ter showing this year than it has done for quite awhile. The num- ber of victories, as compared to the number of defeats, is large, and the squad settled several old scores when they defeated Sparks, Carson, and Reno, who before had always been victorious. The season started out with a rush in October, with a game with Battle Mountain. Our team had only been organized a week and went down to defeat before the husky “Fighting Hill” boys. A few weeks later our boys met them on the Lander court and again went down to defeat, although by a much closer margin. Next in line was a game with Wells on the local court, which resulted in the first victory of the year for us. Then, just before Christmas, the team made a trip to the eastern part of the state, at which time they were defeated by Elko, but man- aged to again out-point the Wells boys after a hard fought battle, dur- ing which the score was tied for three quarters, our boys winning only after a tremendous struggle. Immediately after Christmas, Coach Gruenke came from the east to teach us a,, few things in basketball. With only two weeks practice under Gruenke, our re-organized team was victorious in a game on the local court against Elko. This decisive victory raised our hopes to the top notch. A week later, a third game was played with Battle Moun- tain, on the local court. After forty minutes of heart-breaking play, the game ended with another victory to our credit, although onLy by a margin of one point. The next team to fall before our onslaught was Lovelock. The Lovelock boys had good teamwork, but were out of condition, thus being unable to stand the strain of a whole game. Immediately following the Lovelock game, the team made a� west- ern tour, taking in three games with Reno, Carson, and Sparks. The first game resulted in a defeat at the hands of the Renoites, after one of the most desperately contested periods of play during the entire sea- son. -Although taken somewhat aback at the outcome of this game, ?the following evening the boys went into the Carson game with the ‘.‘do. or die spirit, and came out once more victorious by a two to one score. The game with Sparks the following night was fairly fast, considering the strain the boys had been under during the two preceding nights. We were also victorious in fir's game, and it was surprising to seethe num- ber of rooters for the Winnemucca boys. : UDon returning home, the boys were, given a banquet and greatly lauded for the good showing made. , - . During the second week in February, the,-Reno boys played a re- turn game on the local court. This time,-however, our boys out-played them and the game ended with our team in possession of the longi end of the score. Next came Sparks to play us on out floor. Again we swamped them under a deluge of baskets. The next night the Sparksites defeated Elko, who was doped to be a strong contender for championship honers. Following the Sparks game, the boys took a brief rest before going into final training for the state tournament. Games had been sched- uled with Fallon and Lovelock, the dates were too close to the toruna- ment so they were cancelled. The first game of the tournament was played against Las Vegas. The southern boys played a good hard, clean game, and showed good teamwork. At the end of the first half, the score was in their favor, but after a rally in the second half, Winnemucca emerged victorious. The following night Tonopah, the dark horse of the tournament, proved to be our Waterloo. Their clever teamwork and gaining of a very tall center proved to be our undoing. The local boys played a hard game, but were unable to cope with their husky opponents. This de- feat eliminated us officially from the tournament, but on Saturday night we engaged in a preliminary with the University Frosh. Our team held the frosh to a tie during the first quarter, but owing to the hard games of the preceding days, they out-played us during the sec- ond half. Although somewhat unsuccessful at tournament, we consid- er that it marked the end of a very successful season. Victories Wells, December 13, 21-9. Wells, December 22, 18-10.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL THE GIRLS’ Basket Ball Team of 1924, although losing out at the Tournament made a wonderful record for themselves this year, los- ing only two games out of thirteen. The game between Reno and Humboldt on the local floor was one of the fastest and hardest fought games that has ever been played here. It was nip and tuck for the greatest part of the game but finally the home girls, with a final burst of speed proved themselves the victors. On our trip to Reno, Carson and Sparks we were defeated by Reno by only two points. Sparks and Carson were easy games for Winnemucca. Lovelock put up a plucky fight but the Humboldt girls were too much for them. Winnemucca girls found that Sparks was their first opponent. They won an easy victory and played Battle Mountain the next day. After defeating Battle Mountain the local girls were to meet the strongest team in the state. It was a fast and furious game, both teams being evenly matched. The score kept even until the last quarter when Yer- ington passed and stayed ahead to the end.

Any set of guards capable of stopping “Cap’s” offense deserved the highest of praise. In his position as running guard he played a stellar game. He was the dread of the opposing team. “Hell-On-Wheels” Lyon In his position standing guard, Lyon struck fear into the hearts of the opposing forwards. Due to his showing, he was chosen by the Ne- vada State Journal for standing guard position on the All-State Team. Quick on his feet, though not tall, he was capable of block- ing shots at the basket which seem- ed impossible to guard. “Eagle-Eye” Bankofier At the tip-off, old “Eagle-Eye” could out-jump the majority of centers in the state. His superior he'ght and sure eye gave us many points. Quick passes w?ere his stand-by. On the defensive he could block practically any pass or shot. Stone-Wall” Defenbaugh He certainly did live up to his nick-name. Running under the basket, he maae points time after time, with two and sometimes three of the opposing team clinging to his arms and body, by main strength and at the same time shoot baskets and make them. If the opposing team was rough, he could play their game. “Rocket” Hubbard During a gjine, it was a common sight to see “Rocket” sailing waist- h’gh above the heads of the rest of the plryers, in getting the ball from Barkofier at the tip-off. His leve se-iurn was better than prac- tically any other player in the state, eluding the quickest guards. He played a remarkably clean n 4 � o i game, and there were few who could block his attempts at the basket. “Bullet” Goldsworthy When called into the game, Bud could certainly “strut his stuff.” Speedy and tricky, he had an eye for the difficult shot from the side that consistently stacked up points in our favor. Although light, he was wiry, and few were the play- ers who could wrest the ball from his grasp. “Arch” Holloway Freddie was another consistent player of the squad. Though not quite as tall as Bankofier, he could jump well at center and had a good eye for the basket. His quick and sure passing was only one of his good traits. In fact, the entire group of substitutes were noted for their passing ab’lity. At times they out-played the first Hearn. “Knock-Em Dead” Kennedy “Dusty” made a clean record for h'mself on the squad. When call- ed upon, he was reliable and play- ed a good, consistent game. Huski- ly built and speedy, he successfully took either standing or running guard position. He had an eye for the basket, too. “Rough-’Em-Up” Gartiez “Garters” sub-forward was an- other member of squad who could be relied on to give and take with the best of them. Though he was shorter than the rest, he was strong and quick as a cat. His shifting method of dribbling and reverse turns deceived his oppon- ents many times. Coach Gruenke Mr. Gruenke came to us from the east immediately after the Christmas vacation. He coached the boys into a winning team, and the plays he taught them undoubt- edly contributed greatly to their success. Ida Lorentz (Center.) In her position as center Ida played a very good game. As she was exceptionally husky and also slightly heavy, her opponents were many time taken aback by her fe- rocious attack. Myrle Trousdale (Side-center.) Myrle, although smaller than the majority of our players, was quick and lithe in intercepting pas- ses, taking the ball from the tip- off, and was a good all-around player. tlessie Van Drielen (Sub-guard.) Bessie, although only a fresh- man, earned her position on the team, by her hard and continued practice. If she follows in her sister’s foot-steps, she will develop into a player of undoubted merit, although even at present she plays well. Helen Garrett (Sub-guard.) Another Freshman is Helen, and we say that both she and Bessie are a credit to their class. With her future ahead, she has every reason in the world to work hard that she may win a position on the main team next year. Hildred Gleason (Coach.) Miss Gleason comes to us from Montana, and we rise to say that she certainly knows her business in coaching basketball. Never since the days of state championship, has a Winnemucca team shown up so well as her team has. Elsie Summerfield, Captain ( Guard) This is Elsie’s second and last year on the team, as she is a mem- ber of the graduating class. She played a stellar guarding game, and as captain, led the team through many games to victory. Louise Van Drielen (Guard.) Another exceptional player on the team was “Lou.” She also fin- ishes this year. Although rather slight in build, husky indeed was the opposing forward that could make her call “nuff.” Lillian Pearce (Side-center.) Lillian played a good hard game and was very good at receiv- ing fast passes. Her guarding and passing were also good, and we re- gret that she leaves us this year. Francis Otis (Forward.) Whenver “Oats” got her hand on the bal} and her eye on the basket, the score-keeper immediately mark- ed up another two points in our favor. Otis was one of the. fastest forwards at the tournament and by means of her clever dodging and quick shooting obtained honorable mention. Evalyn Brown (Forward.) “Beans” also finishes this year, and in going she leaves a position open that will be hard to fill, for she was an exceotional shot at the basket and also hard to guard. Lona Abel (Center, not pictured.) We were unable to include Lona’s picture here as she was ill at the time the pictures were taken. However, that does not detract from the fact that she was a good player, clever at gaining the tip- off, and a fast guard. 5? TRACK WORK on the oval this year started a trifle later than usual, but when the boys make their presence known it was soon discovered that there was considerable talent waiting to be developed. Many • of last year’s squad were out in suits, and the number of new men tak- ing interest was surprising. Although somewhat new to the work, $jthese new men showed up very well after a short time. An interclass meet was held during April, and, although the Senior class swamped Ihe rest of the school by taking a great number of first places, the other -three classes gave a good demonstration of their determination and good-sportsmanship. . A week later a dual meet was held at Elko between that high school and our school. To get to Elko and return the same day it was necessary for the team to get up at 3:30 A. M. and go via the Western Pacific. With .little sleep and after undergoing a hard trip, the local squad was outpointed by the Elkoites by a score of about 42 to 88. However, , a number of the men took points, Hubbard being high point man on the local squad. He was beat by a margin of only two points by Stapp of Elko. Hubbard took first in the high hurdles and pole vaul arid second in the broad and high jumps. E Lyon took first in the low hurdles and third in the fifty, hundred, and. two-hundred-twenty yard dashes. Deiss placed first in the high jump. Holloway placed second in thfe javelin throw, after hurling what seemed to be a sure first place thrrij v. However, Clawsoh of Elko managed to out throw him on his - Jast try, winning by a margin of inches instead of feet. Holloway also placed second in the high hurdles. Hubbard took second honors in the shot put, while Captain Martin Echave took second in the discus and third in the quarterTmile dash. Although the local team was out-pointed, several good records were made. Deiss of Winnemucca jumped five feet six inches, a leap which equalled the mark set at the state meet. Lorentz placed third in the mile, ancfhe will undoubtedly improve. Hubbard vaulted 10 feet 5 in- ches, but was not forced to go higher. In practice he has made 10 feet 9 inches, which is an inch higher than the state record. He ran the high hurdles in ,18 seconds flat, while the winner at the state meet made only 18 3-5. Hubbard has also gone five feet six in the high jump in prac- tice, but at the dual meet he was entered in a number of events, which were all difficult and tried him greatly Lyon ran the low sticks in 29 and 3-5 seconds, which equalled the time latrir made at the state meet. Atthe tate meet, the few boys who went were not up to form, due to a long, hard trip in cars from Winnemucca to Reno. However, Hub- bard tied for first place in the vault, while Deiss took third in the high jqmp. Holloway placed in the high hurdle preliminary but could not quite make the grade in the finals. - |Those who went out for track work this year include the following: ■ Captain Echave, Hubbard, Deiss, Hojloway, E.

WHY GO TO SCHOOL? To gain an education we attend school. It is not altogether necessary that school be attended to acquire this education, but science has proven that schools are the most efficient means of educating the human race. Thus we find that schools have their foundation in the desire of mankind to advance, for education is certainly one of the greatest ad- vances civilization has witnessed. The Dark Ages existed because the people were purposely kept ignorant. Printing marked the beginning of the education of the Mass. Be- fore the time of John Gutenburg, there were only a few monks and others of the churches who were educated, to any extent whatever, and it was too costly to teach the people without books. I say, to gain an education, we attend school. But this does not necessarily mean that because we attend school we are educating our- selves. There is always that idea of “getting by” prevalent among some of the students of a school. Our parents are not spending their money on us that we may “get by.” The taxpayers are not unwillingly turning their money over to us that we may “get by.” Indeed, we young people who go through high school are being sent there that-we may eventually become that which probably was the ideal of our parents. And what was that? To become leaders, and not be led. Our parents live with the dream of the future success of their children. Oh, my friends, let us live with that object before us. We can never fully repay the sacrifices our parents have made for us, but we can and will help them to realize their dreams. • ■ • 'M i ST '}, 1. ‘ ’ - V • v: V 1 rJ V' A UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA Thirty-ninth year begins September 2. 1024. and ends May 27. 1025 Courses in Agriculture and Domestic Science in the COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE Courses in Art.
