H. C. H. S. WINNADA 1926 JUNIOR HISTORY MANY changes have taken place and nearly three years have gone by since the September morning of 1923 which marked one of the greatest events in the lives of nineteen frightened, trembling, “Freshies.” During the following few weeks we bravely under went all the necessary torture inflicted upon us by the haughty upper classmen. On October 26, we very successfully put over the most important event of the season, our “Frosh Glee.” The hall was decorated in orange and black, our class colors; and every one had a very enjoyable time. On September 5, 1924 we fell heir to the name of “Sophomores.” This year was even more successful than our first. Our Hop was the biggest novelty of the year, a program being given by some of the talented members of our class and popular songs were sung by them. We were well represented in girls’ basketball, track, boys’ basket- ball and football. We also had four of our class members on last year’s Winnada staff. This year, however, we have made the “biggest show” of all. Our Junior Prom was a very lively affair; delicious refreshments being served in the form of punch and cake. Many attending congratulated the Juniors on their “peppy” class. Bernice Rossier and George Vargas, both members of the Junior class, carried home the honors as tennis champions from Elko. George Vargas received second place in the oratorical contest held at the high school. We were represented in football by Edmond Recanzone and Charles Menicucci; in basketball by George Vargas; and in track by George Vargas, Joe Lyons, Elmo Recanzone and Glenn Tomlin. We were represented on this year’s debating team by Bonnie Cosby. Our Junior play, “The Charm School,” the first ever put on by a Junior class was supervised by Mrs. Hudson. It was given at the Nixon opera house on May 22, and was a huge success. On May 29 this play was presented to a large audience at Paradise Valley. After the play a dance was given foi the benefit of the class.
