WINNADA H.C.H.S. .. 1923V JUNIOR HISTORY WE, the class of ’26 entered school on the morning of September 5, 1923. It being customary for the Freshmen to give the first party of the year, we gave ours on Hallowe’en. It was considered by all to be the best of the season. On January 21, there was a knock at the door, the door was opened and in walked nine girls and one boy. They expressed their desire to join the class of ’26. The desire being granted they received their initia- tion and became one of us. Nothing more of note happened to us during the year and when June eighth came, we had ceased to be green and had the honor of being called Sophomores. We entered the school in the fall under a more dignified name than the year previous. Althtough the class had lost some of its members, we had not lost any of our pep as was proven when we gave the Sophomore hojp. It was a very successful party and again considered the best of the year. We gadly donated our services when the time came to initiate the Freshmen. We again answered the roll call on the second day of September, ’25 under the name of juniors. The class officers were elected the second week after school opened. We were well represented in athletics this year. Those competing w ere: Martin Gastanaga, Merle Germain, Ralph Adamson, Joseph Lor- entz, Francis Otis, May O’Carroll, Vera Leonard and Susie Abel. Several of our class held student body offices this year. Some mem- bers are on the Winnada staff. We are especially proud of Ralph Adam- son, because he is the first Junior editor in the history of the annual. Joseph Lorentz is editor of the Humboldt. We again proved ourselves supreme over the rest of the school when we gave the “Junior Prom,” it being very original. The hall was decorated on the order of a Japanese garden. Japanese cakes and cherry punch were served from Japanese booths. Pi’ograms with Japanese de- signs were given out at the door. The evening was enjoyed by all present. We received congratulations from many, which proved our ability at giv- ing parties. A cordial invitation was extended to the students of the Paradise high school. Miss Siler assisted us during the year to whom we wish to show oi r appreciation. We are now looking forward to the next year, our Senior year, when we hope to make as good or even a better record than we have made in the three years previous.
