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.
