 S! H.C.H.S. WINNADA 1025:? K ----s— SHOP—The shop has been progressing rapidly this year under the super- vision of Instructor Fuller, with a class of sixteen members, this year’s enrollment shows an increase over that of last year. The first year students were started out with instructions on the lathes and shaper, and were later put to general turning. The second year students were put to work making trailers. All parts of the trailers that were to be machined, were machined at the high school and assembled. The unions allow graduates of this course half time on appren- ticeship. However, students of this course will advance more rapidly than someone who spent full time on their apprenticeship, because they have learned to figure things out for themselves. -----------o------------— HOME ECONOMICS—We hoped to have our department under Smith- Hughes regulations this year, but there were not a sufficient number of girls who could give the required four periods per day to the work. How.ever, a two period Home Economics class was organized in which the various problems of home making were studied. Of the four girls who started the course three dropped out on account of ill health, or change of residence, and for this reason the entire department was given over to clothing problems. Immediate membership in the department increased and each girl understood she would be required to make a set of undergarments, a plain wash dress, and a more difficult cotton dress. The advanced girls made at least a wool dress, silk blouse, silk dress and one piece of underclothing most of which was made by hand. The furnishing and decorating of the dining room and teacher’s rest room was accomplished by the girls in the Home Economics class. --------------------------------o---------- HISTORY—History is offered .in the high schol curriculum that students may become better citizens. The student of history learns about men who lived the difficulties they encountered, the institutions they evolved, the nations they built, the reasons why these nations endured, or fell, and the onward trend of humanity toward a higher civilization. The work of the department is divided into three groups, namely: Ancient and Medieval. Modern, and American history with civics. By such an arrangement the known field can be offered in a broad manner. '-------------------------------o ENGLISH—High school english comprises two subjects, composition and literature. The aim of composition teaching is to develop the power of clear logical thinking and effective communication of ideas. Composition also develops powers of observation, imagination, and inference and adds to the students range of ideas and interests. The atms of literature teaching are to kindle imagination of the pupil and to form the habit of reading good books and magazines. We have four years work in english in our high school. The first two years are devoted to english composition and rhetoric with class study of various books and authors and with collateral reading. The third year english classes study American literature, the fourth year study English literature. 9

WINNADA £ H.C.H.S. k J SENIOR HISTORY MEMORY wanders back into the past four years when a group of frightened little freshmen wended their way toward high school re- joicing, yet trembling. Rejoicing to know we had taken a step for- ward, placed our feet upon the first round of the ladder of higher educa- tion, but trembling when we thought of our fate at the hands of the upper classmen. From that day until the present, through the four years, we can very proudly say that the class of ’25 has done its share in the upbuild- ing and uplifting of IT. C. H. S. We were twenty-five in number, green as all Frosh, forced to bow to many, and assume the belittling dink caps, but under the guid- ance of Bud Goldsworthy as president, Mary Guthrie as secretary-trea- surer and Miss Louise Liotard class teacher, passed the crucial tests, culminating our efforts in the frosh glee barn dance which is still re- membered as the success of the year. On the second round of the ladder, as Sophmores ,our number remained parctically the same, some dropping out and others coming to fill their places. This time we could laugh at the unfortunate below us. The midget basketball team was organized from the sophomore boys consisting of Frank Garteiz, Fred Hoilawey, Bud Goldsworthy, Robert Kennedy, George Watt, and George King. Two of our girls, Florence Sears and Ida Lorentz and three boys, Fred Holloway, An- selmo Laucirica and Bud Goldsworthy, represented the school at the state track meet, helping Vin two cups in interscholastic meets. Among the trophies left as fo the school is one gained this year for securing the most members for the Red Cross in the school drive. To top the year was our Soph Hop, again a big social success. Commencing the third year, dignified Juniors, many changes had occured. Three sophomore girls, Mabel Connor, Myrle Trousdale and Mary Quilici, infatuated with our clasp worked unusually hard and be- came members, as did Emma Duarte and Junior Leidy who trans- fered from Golocnda and Reno. We elected as class officers, Fred Holloway, president; Berton Smith, vice-president; George King, secretary; Frank Garteiz, treasurer. Bud Goldsworthy was the editor appointed for the newly estab- lished H. C. H. S. Humboldt, the school newspaper, having as his assist- ant, Ben Meyers. As was customary, we were well represented in athletics with Ida Lorentz, Lona Abel and Myrle Trousdale on the girl’s basketball team and Robert Kennedy, Frank Garteiz, Fred Holloway and Bud Goldsworthy members of the boys’ team.
