Its function, is the transformation of a potential savage into a responsible citizen, equipped to render the largest possible service to local, state and national communities. This generation of adults is reponsible for the well being of the next generation. The progress and welfare of the next generation will depend on the quality and validity of the education that this generation of adults provides for its youth, who will in the next generation become the arbiters of social welfare. Our boys and girls constitute the hope of advancing civilization. Only through them can continuity of social purposes be achieved. • From the individual point of view, also, education pays. The following study of Who’s Who in America evidences the value of education: The number of persons listed who had attained distinction None 1368 1627 7709 Therefore, without education one would have no chance to become noted; with a common school education one would have one chance in 9000; with a high school education one would have one chance in 450; with a college education one would have one chance in 42. Certainly one should strive for both a high school and a college education. Many students of education reject as invalid the statistical arguments presented above. They claim that the graduates of high schools and colleges are successful because of their superior physical and social endowments, which enables them to secure an education. Then one should get a high school and college education and thus become one of the select few—one able to render distinguished service to humanity. SOCIAL SCIENCES The haunting pictures of the World of Art hold no greater place in the field of humanity than the social sciences possess in the unfolding of youthful imagination. Their subject matter takes in the sum total of human achievement. History aims to understand and to picture the entire life of the various races and groups of man- kind at all times throughout the course of long ages. Sociology attempts to depict the “how” and “why” of rational society while economics considers primarily the development of the practical arts. The motley parade of social sciences which pass just within the pale of the adolescent have not escaped our treatment of these subjects in the Humboldt County High School, but there was attempted with quite unusual success, the inculcation of love and appreciation for these basic branches of the curriculum. Without education________________ With common school education— With high school education_______ With college education___________ H. C. H. S. WIN NAD A 1927 Justly, then, we claim to have practiced a method of investigation, the principles of which are very hygienic for the mind. We Have attempted to prevent a morbid dread of change by viewing a great number of different societies preparing us to understand and to tolerate variety of usages. Lastly, the contemplation of evolution, which enables us to understand the transformation of humanity, has saved students from the temptation to apply worthless “street” analogies to the explanation of social science. MODERN LANGUAGES In our American high schools there are expended vast sums in the teaching of Spanish, French, and German. What objects have we in teaching these subjects and are these objects realized? In other words, has the community received a com- mensurate return for the maintenance of a modern language department? The primary purpose of language study in the secondary schools is a practical value, but a mastery of the subject matter alone cannot long be held as an efficient basis in program building. By a selection of subject matter, pursuit of method, and other devices, a cultural value is likewise added; further, the processes of any language study furnish means for clarifying in general, the vehicle of thought. In our language teaching, we may stress the utilitarian side, making a speaking knowledge our first aim, or we may make reading our primary object. It is incon- ceivable that constructive language methods could be formulated and good speech developed in the periods allotted and with the number of students enrolled; conse- quently, in the Humboldt County High School, reading has been the first aim, subordinating other values. The ability to read a language is more likely to be permanent, practical value than any conversational knowledge that might possibly be gained in school classes. MATHEMATICS Mathematics is the science of number and form. It is the language of exact science; the tool of accurate thinking; the final expression of ultimate truth. The great prizes of today are not going to orators and debaters, but to the mathematical thinkers. If- one would become a specialist in engineering, architecture, surveying, or statistics, he must master mathematics. For mathematics is the master key that unlocks the door to all these pursuits. Dr. Smith of Columbia University says that if all mathematical knowledge were eliminated, civilization would be demoralized, factories would stop for want of machinery, and life would revolt to chaos. J. W. Young, chairman of the national committee on mathematical require- ments, says, “There is' no subject, except the use. of the mother tongue, which is so ‘intimately connected with everyday life, and so necessary to the successful conduct of affairs.” :’in - This is the era of machinery and exact measurement. The parts of an automo- bile are assembled from distant manufacturing plants. They must fit accurately. H. C. H. S. WINNADA 1927 This requires very nice mathematical calculations on the part of engineers, drafts- men, pattern makers, and mechanics. An inexactness of a few micromillimeters would cause a loss of thousands of dollars—and some one’s job. Without a knowledge of geometry little would be known about our earth, the solar system, or the universe. We could not construct bridges, design mosaics, tile- patterns, or oilcloth. Mathematics is now applied to the social sciences in graphic representation of statistical data. Realizing the importance of mathematics, the Humboldt County High School has, in the school year just closing, not only offered, but has actually taught, a com- plete course in mathematics, consisting of elementary algebra, advanced algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry—a course adequate to prepare anyone to enter any college of engineering in any university. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Commercial activity has stimulated all creative thought and action. It is re- sponsible for the culture of the world. As a result of the West seeking the East and the East seeking the products of the West, we not only have a world commerce in material commodities, but a world commerce in ideas and culture. Since a very large per cent of all human contacts are due to business relations, the value of educa- tion in business must be recognized. Commercial subjects have a dual objective: they provide specific knowledge usable by the student and also teach him to adjust himself in his relations to society. Investigations have proved that creative thinking can be done through these subjects, and that each individual can reach the limit of his capacity in the acquisition •� f knowledge. In the Humboldt County High School, attention has been given to two classes of students; those whose secondary work is preliminary to a four-year college course, and those whose education will be completed upon graduation from this institution. The former type of student applies himself to commercial work with the under- standing that such course will prove of inestimable value in the pursuance of a general college course; the latter with an appreciation of the fact that in a home institution, without unusual expense, he may accumulate such knowledge as renders him able to occupy a position which demands efficiency and offers a fairly good rate of remuneration. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics class began the year’s work with the problem of remodel- ing an old garment, and finished the clothing unit by making many attractive wool and silk dresses. In association with this laboratory project the study of interior decoration and color harmony were studied. Dress design proved very interesting as each girl determined the best color harmonies and styles suited to her own indivi- dual type. As a summary of this work Virginia Echave gave a very interesting talk in the assembly September 24th, on “The Economy of Home Economics.” H, C, H. S. WINN ADA 1927 During the second semester the study of meal planning and table service was very much worth while, for the girls learned how to plan, buy and serve attrac- tive, wholesome meals. This was not theory alone, for during the year, luncheons were served by the class to the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams of Winnemucca, Fallon, Elko, Wells, Sparks, and Lovelock, serving about fifty guests each evening. Also on March 3, an attractive luncheon was served to Miss Ruth Talboy, Nevada Home Economics Supervisor. The related work during the second semester was in the form of related art, and many artistic luncheon sets, handkerchiefs, and scarfs were made to harmonize as accessories to costumes, while glow bead table and bed lamp shades were made to harmonize with the girls’ rooms. These were exhibited at the Robins Building April 2nd, in combination with a cake and candy sale, and proved very much of a success. Other activities which the girls have participated in are ice cream, cake and candy, and “hot-dog” sales. The money obtained from these sales was placed in a fund to send at least five girls to the Nevada Home Economics contest in Reno April 28th to 30th. Thrift week was observed by two articles delivered before the Friday assembly by Kathleen O’Carroll on “The Budget as a Means of Saving,” and by Mande Ricks on “Life Insurance and Safe Investment.” The Vestal Arc of the Fireside Circle, which is a Home Economics organization, was organized October 26, with an enrollment of twelve girls, which has grown to eighteen during the school year. The study of the books by Marion Harland on “Home Making” was enjoyed during the meetings. To complete the year’s work, the girls plan to make some “chic” spring and summer dresses. SCIENCE The World War awakened a popular interest in and appreciation of physical and chemical science so far unmatched in the world’s history. This led to a concen- tration of able minds on practical or applied, rather than on theoretical physics and chemistry. As a result of this the courses in science now found in high school deal more with the practical everyday scientific facts than they do with theory. It is true that a great many of the phenomena of nature are planned theories, but these must be accepted until such a time when someone offers others that will better explain the facts. However, the practical application of the fundamental principles of science rather than the theoretical explanation is the direct and specific aim at the present time. The extended application of science to manufacture and agriculture within recent years has placed greater emphasis on the vocational values of the study of natural science in the high school. The science department of Winnemucca High School offers true courses in science, namely: Physics, chemistry and biology. The physics and chemistry are considered upper class subjects and are taken only by Juniors and Seniors. Biology of offered to Sophomores, and may he taken by any student other than a Freshman. H. C. H. S. WIN NAD A 1927 A course in general science, which is both elementary and introductory is to be added to the science course this fall. This will make a very well balanced course in science and one which should interest the students and result in a large enrollment in the science department. MUSIC The music department of the Humboldt County High School offers to the students a very well planned elementary course in music, and is open to all. For those desiring to build a substantial foundation for all future musical development, the principles of music class presents a splendid opportunity. Not only are the elements of music reading and writing thoroughly developed, but opportuni- ties for ear training and sight singing are combined in the work of the class. A girls’ three-part glee club of forty voices is doing excellent work, and a boys’ glee club of twenty-two voices is preparing material of the regular four-part concert type. Combinations of quartet, trio, duet and solo are being made in the voice depart- ment, to develop individual talent, and many suggestions as to voice placement and training accompany the regular class and glee club rehearsals. The orchestra of eight pieces meets regularly and will present during the spring season some of the most attractive numbers by the best composers. The music room is spacious, well lighted and equipped. A splendid library of good music for all organizations is being compiled from time to time. The combined organizations, forming a general chorus of over seventy parts will present the regular annual spring musical, and will have entire charge of the musical program for Commencement Week. INDUSTRIAL Judging by the talks of the distinguished educators who addressed the state institute last fall, the majority of modern school men regard an experience in the industrial subjects as an important element in the modem training of youth. In keeping with this movement, the Humboldt County High School has achieved and maintained a place in the front rank. The equipment of our shop is doubtlessly of a more general nature than that of any other high school of the state. The wood shop is well supplied with hand tools. A power saw with blades for ripping, cutting off and dadoing was made last fall by the students for use in the shop. A number of projects have been constructed; the largest being twelve school book cases. These will be completed before the end of the term. v Although auto work was not taken up, the machine shop has been in operation throughout the year. Very good work has been done in this branch of the shop. The mechanical drawing branch of this department has covered a fairly general field. No attempt has been made, especially in the Freshman class, to specialize. H, C. H. S. WIN NAD A p 1927 A mastery of the principles has been the aim in the major part of the year. Inking tracing, blue-printing, and house planning have been the main work of the last semester. First and second year work have run concurrently. Students of the department feel that the time spent in the industrial department has been well invested. ENGLISH Clearness and conciseness in speech and written composition is indicative of clear-cut, careful thinking; grace and dignity of speech and written composition is indicative of character. Spoken and written English, therefore, indicates to the public the mental and ethical equipment of the speaker and writer. It is with this thought in mind that the English department of the Humboldt County High School concentrates upon extemporaneous speech, dramatic interpretation, development of themes which reflect the writer’s personality and upon appreciation of the world’s best literature. In addition to the senior play, the two public speaking classes present to the public one-act plays of popular and semi-classical type. English students of the academic classes are required to pay considerable attention to short extemporaneous talks and students of the public speaking classes are required to write original speeches before receiving the final year’s credit. Particular attention is paid in study of the classics to the correlation of psychological points with the life experience of the student and individual application of such points is encouraged. Respect for dignified and correct spoken and written English insures the acquir- ment of a better vocabulary; a critical estimation of literary values, and the estab- lishment of those ideals which result in definite character development and a broader conception of one’s relation to his fellow men.

Our one boy, Jack Walther, left our ranks and is now enrolled in the Reno High School. The most important event of our first year was a spooky Hallowe’en party, October 26. At last we emerged safely from the hand of our superiors and became lordly Sophomores. After becoming accustomed to our promotion, we started plans for our Sopho- more Hop with our class adviser, Miss Finnigan. The gymnasium was decorated in black and white. We proved to be excellent entertainers for Helen Garrett and Alice Garteiz sang a jazzy duet; George Vargas and Jack Walther provided a colorful skit; and last, with refreshments, Bernice Rossier presented a toe sketch. We were represented in track by Jack Walther, Our class number was at this time reduced by the departure of Minerva Macy and Magdalene Selby. Our Sophomore year closed only for our Junior year to begin and people began to notice us, and the world appeared brighter. During our Junior year we lost many valuable students: Vada Boyd, Violee Ellison, Helen Malcolm, Oddie Lupine and Helen Garrett. On September 7, 1925, we fell heir to the appellation of “Juniors.” We were very well represented in every form of school work and athletics by both boys and girls. The Junior Prom was the “peppy” affair of the year. Bernice Rossier and George Vargas, both Juniors, carried home the honors of tennis championship from the meet in Elko, and George Vargas and Bonnie Cosby displayed considerable ability as debaters. The last event that was sponsored by our class was our Junior play, “The Charm School,” under the careful supervision of Mrs. Willie Hudson. It was presented to a crowded audience May 22 and later the play was taken to Para- dise and proved equally as popular. Our class enrollment was decreased by the departure of Lois Callahan and Iva Raymond. The Seniors have this year proved themselves capable officers of the student body. George Vargas has been president of the student body for the entire year; Geraldine Blattner and Ethel Maraska have each served as secretary; Joe Lyon, editor of this year’s Winnada, appears to be the most successful of editors. We are also well represented in athletics this year with three of our members on this year’s basketball team: Bernice Rossier, Ede Menicucci and Alice Garteiz. The boys entered in basketball, football and track were Joe Lyon, George Var- gas, Edmond Recanzone and Bruno Ramasco. The tennis representatives are George Vargas, Geraldine Blattner and Bernice Rossier. Tennis meets and track are yet to be scheduled. The cast of our last play was chosen from experienced actors. This play was presented at the Nixon Opero House under the direction of Mrs. Willie Hudson. H. C. H.

Sev- eral times during the night he had risen to watch the clouds gather in the east. A storm was brewing, not a few grains of sand scattered about by the night wind, but one of those soul-terrifying storms which sweep the earth like a plague. It was nearing midnight when a loud crash shook the very earth as the storm set in. Loose tents took to the air like birds, camels crouched in a position of abject terror, dogs whimpered as the storm roared on, lightning played on the scenes as flames from the dungeon of hell—a fit display for the wrath of angry gods. Ali-ben-Hassen suddenly sat up with a jerk. Outside the storm had increased into a raging maelstrom. The peals of thunder from the black sky seemed to rent the very earth asunder, a spirit of evil appeared to brood over the storm-swept desert. Suddenly the feeling that he was not alone came over the old ruler. A sixth sense warned him that the luxuriant dwelling contained a being other than himself. Was he seeing aright? It seemed as though a shadow had deatched itself from the surrounding gloom and was floating toward his bed. What could this be? Were his eyes deceivers of his soul. A cold sweat broke out upon his brow. He raised himself to shout to his followers, but as the words sprang to his lips a demoniac cackle struck his ears only to be drowned in a deafening peal of thunder—mean- while a streak of lightning split the roof of his tent and threw into bold relief the scene contained therein. The old sheik fell back among his pillows with a low moan. Another dazzling chain of lightning showed the surprise and horror mingled upon that bearded face, for at the corner of his bed stood the most horrible apparition ever seen by mortal eye. From under the grave-mouldered turban peered a grotesque fleshless face as a wild imagination can conceive. A pair of red-rimmed eyes glared malignantly at him; a pair of toothless gums grinned horribly into his face, while a long bony body dangled gruesomely at his bedside. Not trusting himself to look again, the old sheik spoke in a high, strained voice. “Who be ye that walks in the night and disturbs me from my slumbers?” Bony arms rattled against a fleshless body as the phantom attempted to speak. Finally a hoarse, harsh sound arose to those bloodless lips: “I am a descendant of the ancients, sent to rule the desert and its people. I control the destiny of any man of the desert. Your time has come; however, I shall grant you one wish before you pass unto your maker.” A peal of thunder drawned out his voice. Then all lapsed into silence. Out- side a dog howled mournfully while the restless movements of the bedded camels could be faintly heard above the clamor of the storm. For a long time the old sheik pondered over the strangeness of the situation. Finally a clattering, restless movement roused the old ruler from his deep meditation. He attempted to speak, but no sound proceeded from his throat. After repeated H. C. H. S. WIN NAD A p 1927 attempts a horror-stricken whisper came hesitatingly. A whisper barely audible to the apparition who stooped close to him. “Tell me, O Spirit of Death, what has become of the graduates of the class of ’27? From the day that I left America I have never heard of them.” The phantom rocked back and forth on long bony feet while the answer to the sheik’s request came between peals of thunder. “In glancing over the picturesque city of Shanghai, I see Lieutenant Charles Menicucci who is aide to General Chank-Tso-lin. He is fast becoming a Chinese warrior and is learning the Chinese language at night school.” At this point a loud, terrifying roar of thunder drowned his voice. When the clamor finally ceased, the ghost continued: “The celebrated Ringling Bros. Circus is making a tour of the world. At this time they are in Africa, where the person who occupies the limelight is Geraldine Blattner or Miss Ton, the celebrated fat lady of this world famous show. Accom- panying her is her husband, the only living skeleton, Mr. Edmond Recanzone. “Upon looking over Egypt, see Miss Ethel Maraska, who has just accepted a position in a leading cafe, the Harem. “In the tiny province of Patagonia the well-known Dr. Stites has, by experiment, settled a much discussed question. He has discovered that during an attempt to secure some rouge for Eve, Adam mixed some jungle chemicals and created a most peculiar hairy beast, which is known to us as the monkey, thus settling the perplexing question of evolution. Humanity owes Dr. Stites a great deal for the satisfaction afforded by this discovery.” Lightning split the darkness and illuminated the interior of the luxurious dwelling. The old sheik lay on his couch, pale and weak, for through all this he could not help but think that when the ghost had ceased speaking his life would end. Even now the horrible apparition was grinning gruesomely at him. Then the terrible phantom emitted a ghostly laugh and continued: “Miss Bernice Rossier, the far-famed lecturer and public speaker, is traveling in Borneo. Only last evening she delivered a lecture to the savage bushmen of that country on the interesting subject of prohibition. In the most northern part of Greenland I see Elmo Recanzone. He is a noted African missionary, and as his health required a slight change of climate, he has con- sented to travel among the Esquimaux. He visits so great a number of missions that the kind-hearted Esquimaux have given him a great white bear as a means of transportation. After rendering one of his sermons Mr. Recanzone gallops madly across the ice on his gallant steed to the scene of his next duty.” The ghost stopped speaking, but appeared to remain buried in thought. Outside the wind howled mournfully, thunder rolled across the heavens and occasionally a dog howled dismally. A blinding flash of lightning aroused the ghost from his meditations. His bony jaws cracked sharply together as he resumed his narrative. H. C. H. S. oq| WINN AD A p. 1927 “The Hon. Joseph Lyon, Jr., has just signed a contract by which he has purchased the ownership of the Ziegfeld Follies from its former owner, Mr. Flo Ziegfeld. Within a period of two weeks, New Yorkers will be treated with a new sight, namely, huge electric signs emblazoned with the name ‘Lyon Follies.’ “In far away Brazil Mr. Bruno Ramasco is being entertained in state. He is the owner of a large coffee plantation in that country and has received the favor of the court because of his success in producing a prize winning coffee bean. “The law firm of Gastanaga and Laca are receiving much attention and publicity in Chicago, where these famous women attorneys are successfully combating the million-dollar law suit against Mr. Henry Ford. Once more the gruesome spirit was interruped by the fierceness of the storm which raged With ever-increasing fury about the diminutive desert dwelling. Lightning lit up the scene with a ghastly hue, while outside the rain came down in a potential torrent—all the world appeared to have gone mad. The death cry of a lightning-stricken beast rang out, then as if having accomplished a definite purpose there came a lull in the terrific down pour. “My time grows short,” the ghost muttered, “ I must hurry. In far away Canada an old hunter is hunched over his campfire, dreaming of his youth. A sound in the dark beyond his fire causes him to turn and I behold the bewhiskered counte- nance of Glenn McAllister. “Miss Edith Menicucci has just been given the lady’s world championship riding belt. She was a competitor in the world championship riding contest held at Chicago and won chiefly through the vicious performances of her Shetland pony. “Miss Alice Gartiez, the world-famous explorer, is in Siberia at this time. She is endeavoring to obtain a carnivorous tripede known as the ‘baboonamus miraculus. “Fifty miles across the desert there is an encampment. It is headed by a young fortune-hunter from America. It is his intention to pierce the jungle to the south in an endeavor to gather ivory and to gain seclusion from the world in general and blondes in particular. That person is George Va—” Crack! A loud clap of thunder drowned out the'voice of the phantom. A shriek rent the air, lightning illuminated the tent and—lo! the ghost had disappeared! As the old sheik listened in wonder, a voice came to his ears, a horrible voice filled with fear which was borne faintly on the wild night wind—“My power has dimin- ished in the storm which is destroying me. You shall live only because I am dying!” The voice died away and the ancient sheik, much relieved, turned over and went peacefully to sleep. Outside, the storm which heralded the coming of the ghost, died down and a beautiful golden moon rose to illuminate the storm-swept land.

All but two of our boys turned out for football, and made a large part of the team, playing in most of the scheduled games. At the close of the football season, we turned out again for basketball, winning the interclass tournament which was held just before we made our schedule. At the end of the basketball season, we turned our attention toward track—but did not do so well in the track meet, ranking second. The iiext activity in vyhich the class participated was a play called “Never Again.” This ended our first year in the Humboldt County High School. On the following September we entered our Sophomore year. With experience from the past year, we entered the football season with great enthusiasm and some degree of experience. Later, in basketball, the boys and girls of this class made up most of the two teams. We again won the interclass meet in basketball. We now have some good prospects for the next two years in track and can put up a good fight at any track meet of our school. Next September we will enter our Junior Year with far more confidence than was ours at the beginning of the two previous years, and� hope to establish ourselves firmly both in scholarship and athletics before the beginning of our Senior year.

WIN NAD A p. 1927 FRESHMAN HISTORY N SEPTEMBER 7, 1926, a number of shy and very bashful Freshmen wended their way toward Humboldt County High School. The upper- classmen treated us with the greatest respect for the first few days and on the Friday of the first week we were given our orders and compelled to obey them. On the evening of September 23, 1926, the girls were invited up to the High School Auditorium and we were made full pledged members of Humboldt County High School. A few days later the boys were invited up to the High School and received their initiation. It was indeed hard to tell which came out the worst, the girls or the boys. None of the Freshmen were quite as “fresh” after the initiation as they were before. A meeting of the Freshman class was Soon held and class officers were elected. Mr. Lowry was elected class adviser. David Bankofier was chosen to act as president and Donnie Sullivan as vice-president. Lucretia Loinaz was elected secretary and Veronica Pedroli to serve as treasurer. As it is customary for the Freshmen to give the first class dance, ours was given on January 8, 1927, following the basketball games with the Fallon girls and boys. They were our guests of honor. Refreshments were served from 10:30 until 12:00 o’clock. The dance was a “howling” success with good refreshments and music. With the beginning of the next semester came twelve new Freshmen. It was our turn to enjoy the fun of seeing them go about with their clothes worn backward and waving side out. A meeting of the Freshman class was held and new officers were chosen. Mr. Lowry was re-elected class adviser and Mildred B kus was chosen as class president, with Harold Branting acting as vice-president. Electa Robbins was elected secretary and Donnie Sullivan as treasurer. We are now looking forward to our Sophomore year when we shall no longer wear the “green spots” but shall “lord it” over other Freshmen who shall enter Hum- boldt County High School. We hope it will be a year of as much pleasure and enjoyment as our Freshman year has been. II. C.

After being tortured in various sorts of heinous machines and after being murdered twice, their corpses were taken about four miles from town and deposited in the sagebrush. However, they were able to attend school the following week. GIRLS’ INITIATION A few days prior to the hoys’ initiation, the girls of the Freshman class were initiated in the mysteries of Humboldt High. Poor children! With what awe we beheld their wrecked forms the following day. Strange to say, all recovered and in a few days were as green as ever. HUMBOLDT STAR ESSAY CONTEST This year, as in previous years, an essay contest was held under the auspices of the Humboldt Star and members of the faculty. These contests were conducted every few weeks and have brought out the talent of the students. SHORT STORY CONTEST This year, as in 1926, Mrs. Hudson will give a five-dollar gold piece to the winner of the short story contest. Last year this contest aroused a great deal of interest among the students and it is hoped that some unexpected talent will blossom forth this year. THE “IF” GETS IT’S ANNUAL WHITE-WASH As the block “W” on the side of Winnemucca mountain seemed rather dilapi- dated after a hard winter, it was decided that it should have a new coat of paint. Accordingly, on Friday, April 8, the boys set forth on this task, while the girls prepared a feed. Although working in a blinding snow storm the work was soon completed and at noon a luncheon was greatly enjoyed in the high school gymnasium. CLEAN-UP DAY Arbor Day was selected as the annual clean-up day for this year. Accordingly, all students appeared early in the morning armed with shovels, hoes, and rakes to wage war on the weeds, paper and other refuse on our school grounds. As noon approached we all felt the pangs of hunger and as the whistle blew we found that we were not doomed to starvation, for the girls had prepared a wonderful “feed” for us. And “Oh, boy,” what we didn't do to those “eats!” DEBATING Debating is fast securing great popularity in the public speaking classes this year. 'Fhe subjects for debate were: “Resolved, that there should be a high tariff,” “Resolved, that capital, punishment should be abolished,” and “Resolved, that the United States should cancel her war debts.” No debating team was sent to Reno this year. H. C. H. S. WINN AD A 1927 CIVIC CLUB CONTEST An oratorical contest was held this year at the Civic Club during Educational Week. The first prize was contributed by Mrs. Hudson and second and third prizes by the Civic Club. George Vargas won first place, and Frank Ford and Lloyd Stites tied for second place. These contests have aroused a great deal of interest in the townspeople. CURTIS PUBL1HING COMPANY'S SELLING CAMPAIGN Last fall we were approached by a salesman representing the Curtis Publishing Company, who lectured to us on the topic of salesmanship. It was decided that we should divide off into three teams, and for four days sell subscriptions to the Country Gentleman, Ladies’ Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post, each subscription secured bringing fifty cents into the student body treasury. For four days a whirl- wind campaign was staged and when it was over we found that we had a clear profit for the school of $ 115.00. CONSTITUTIONAL ESSAY CONTEST The Constitutional Essay Contest, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, aroused great interest in the school this year. Many good essays were submitted and three were sent to the state committee. CH A LONER ESSAY CONTEST A group of students wrote essays upon the subjects of- “An Old Settlers’ Story of Nevada,” and “The Benefit of Pageantry and Motion Pictures to a Community,” in a contest sponsored by the Nevada Federation of Women’s Clubs. Frank Ford was awarded third prize in this contest. STUDENT BODY Another year of successful student body activity has rolled by. This year the student body was very active in assisting athletics, plays and other activities. An executive body, composed of the class presidents, class advisers, .and student body officers was organized to superintend the general business of the student body. We are proud to say that at the end of the year we had several hundred dollars in the treasury after all debts were paid. A new constitution was adopted this year and has proved a great success.

PUBLICATIONS THE WINN ADA E sincerely hope that this Annual, the eighth volume of the yearbook of Humboldt County High School, will prove to be a success. In prepar- ing this book each one of the editorial staff has earnesty endeavored to publish a book which truthfully depicts our high school life. May such a book be published every year and meet with the greatest of success! THE HUMBOLDT This year it was decided to publish news concerning our school as a special article entitled “High School Notes” in the columns of our local newspaper, “The Humboldt Star.” I hanks to the kind cooperation of nat paper, we believe that our “High School Notes” has proved successful. Geraldine Blattner, acting as editor, was assisted by Frank Ford, Mary Backus and Elsie Kibbee. “TWENTY-NINE 'Ehe English II class, under the direction of Miss Bertha Blattner, published this year a twenty-page paper in magazine form. This little journal contained sports, society, advertisements, and jokes and was a very newsy paper. Much praise should be given to Miss Blattner and her class of Sophomores for this really splendid little paper. H. C. H. S.

And here we might add that if anyone wishes a first class fire-tender, phone either Mr. Raymond Kilian or Albert Lowry, Esquire. They certainly “know their onions” in that line of work. As the cars didn’t get home until 9 o’clock it may be concluded that the picnic was a success. II. C. H.

WIN NAD A 1927 DRAMATICS We have had a very successful season of dramatics this year and have gained from this two fold: Practical experience in the art of public speaking has been given to the members of the public speaking classes; and a large amount of money has been put into the student body treasury. The first play of the year, the Senior play “Adam and Eva,” was presented March 9 at the Nixon Opera House to a very large audience. The play was coached by Mrs. Hudson, who deserves credit for this undertaking. Then as the Junior class decided not to give their play this year, both public speaking classes began practicing on a group of one-act plays to be given May 13 and 27. The first play, “The Womanless Wedding,” put on by Public Speaking II, was given in coopera- tion with the Glee Club musical and from all comments seemed to take exceptionally well. Then Public Speaking I produced “Miss Civilization,” “The Rising of the Moon,” “What If They Could,” “The Obstinate Family,” and “Just Adver- tise” in the High School Gymnasium. Public Speaking II concluded this successful number of plays with one of the best one-act plays ever seen in Winnemucca— “Action.” 1 H. C. H. S. 3 WIN NAD A 1927 SOCIETY PARENT-TEACHERS’ RECEPTION Soon after the boys’ and girls’ initiation, a reception was given by the Parent- Teachers’ Association to high and grammar school teachers. This reception was held in the high school gymnasium where refreshments were served toward the end of the evening. FROSH RECEPTION Freshmen must become acquainted with the rest of the school, so in order to bring about this result, the three other classes gave the Freshmen a reception. We had hoped that they would lose some of their timidity and our hopes were not in vain; for they have become a little more serious and have acquired some of the dignity of the Seniors. FROSH GLEE The Frosh gave their annual party on the evening of January 8, 1926. The Freshmen entertained not only the students of the Humboldt County High School, but also the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams from Fallon, who were here for a double-header game. Even Frosh seem to know that refreshments are essential, and theirs were delicious. LUNCHEON FOR WELLS TEAM After a basketball game with Wells on January 15, 1927, a light, but delicious luncheon was served hy the home economics girls. No dance was given as there was one down town. LUNCHEON FOR LOVELOCK Basketball, as well as other sports and athletics, allows people to meet socially. On February 5, 1927, after a double-header basketball game, the home economics girls served a dainty luncheon to Lovelock’s teams, as well as ours. A dance was given in honor of the teams, by Mr. Misley; therefore, everyone made a “grand rush” to the Nixon Opera House, where the dance was held. LUNCHEON FOR BASKETBALL TEAM We had high hopes for our boys’ basketball team when they left for the tournament, hut they were defeated. As tve were still proud of them and wished them to know this, the entire school gathered in the gymnasium the noon of Monday, March 7, 1927, to partake of a luncheon in honor of the boys’ basketball team. Many interesting tales were told and the boys were most appreciative of this demon- stration of our appreciation. SOPHOMORE HOP The Sophomores proved themselves able entertainers when they gave their hop on the evening of March 19, 1927. The Sophomores are socially educated, some- H. C. H. S. 3 WIN NAD A p. 1927 what, because they know that programs are essential at a program dance. Other persons besides the Sophomores enjoyed the refreshments that were served a little before midnight. JUNIOR-SENIOR SOCIAL A Junior-Senior social was held on April 2, 1927, in the High School Gymna- sium. Various games were played, after which refreshments were served. Later in the year a Sophomore social will be held. JUNIOR PROM The Juniors are busy making ready for their Promenade, to be held in the Gymnasium, April 23, 1927. As they seem very enthused, we grant that it will be a grand success. SENIOR BALL Of course, everyone is planning and looking forward to the Senior Ball, which we hope will be a big social event of the year. The Senior Class is the only one that will decorate for their party. We wish to be different and leave a pleasant impression when we are graduated from dear old H. C. H. S.. This ball will be held on the evening of June 3, 1927. Being the last party, we will be able to give and do everything to make it a success. H. C. H. S. WIN NAD A p 1927 CALENDAR September 7.

WINN ADA fa 1927 History of the Humboldt County High School N 1889-90 the Humboldt County High School course consisted of one year’s work. In this one year a large number of subjects were taught. The first graduating class was composed of Allie Minor, Maud Miller, Clara McGonagle, Arthur Guthrie and Frank Germain. E. D. Kelley, J. B. McGonagle and F. T. Benson comprised the board of trustees in 1891, the time of the first graduation. From 1906 to 1908, Mr. T. A. Brandon was principal and during this time there was an average of thirty-five pupils in the high school and an average of ten in the graduating class. Mr. Brandon installed the first physics and chemistry laboratory. Sometimes during this period of the school growth, as many as three classes at one time were taught by Mr. Brandon. Only two teachers were employed for the handling of the thirty-five students. In 1913 the building used was sold to the city of Winnemucca for $20,000 and a delegation of five members was selected to decide upon the proposition of petitioning the legislature for the right to issue bonds to the amount of $15,000. At last a unanimous vote was obtained from the delegates, after which the legislature passed a bill'for the issuing of the bond. The school board at this time consisted of James B. Burns, W. H. Cooper and Charles Hoskins. Out of the. $35,000, a five acre lot was purchased and Mr. George A. Ferris drew plans for new building. The new building was completed at a cost of $23,400, plus $5000 for the installation of the heating plant. In 1920 the space behind the school building was cleared and a cinder track was constructed for the use of the state track meet which was held in the spring. At that time this track was the best in the state and is now probably surpassed only by the University track at Reno. In 1922 an excellent tennis court was constructed and later concrete retaining walls were built about the lawn. In 1926 a balcony was added to the gymnasium and an excellent locker system established, and during the coming year the work of the commercial department will be increased. It is hoped that in 1927-28 better provision for library equipment and service may be provided. At the present time, fifteen academic credits and one credit in physical training are required for graduation, and the faculty consists of nine members. H. C. H. S. 3 WINN AD A p 1927 TRADITIONS BOUT the traditions of a school, cluster the most intimate and laugh- provoking memories. The traditions of a school, however, assume a far more serious aspect than that of the memory of amusing incidents or even loyal friendships, for the traditions of a school embody the spirit and ideals of that particular institution. Any tradition, therefore, which portrays a lack of school spirit, of educational enterprise, or of a sympathetic consideration for fellow students, should be forbidden a place among the unwritten laws of any institution. It is with the above principle in mind that the traditions of the Humboldt County High School have reached their present stage of development. It is doubtful if any man would like to see a ghost while walking alone on a dark night, but on being told that he would certainly see it there would be without doubt keen disappointment if he did fail to see it. The Freshmen, on entering the high school, are very much in the same state of mind. They dread the paddlings that are to come, and the cold shower baths which are administered to unruly Frosh, and above all the night of the initiation, with its innumerable tortures and hardships—but, on the other hand, like the man who failed to see the ghost, would not the Freshmen be sorely disappointed if they did not receive an initiation? Would it not be disheartening to enter high school and not receive the slightest attention from upperclassmen? Although each takes his punishment with writhing and with such cries as “I’ll tell mother,” etc., it is doubtful if any high school student can truthfully say, “I wish that I had not been initiated.” It is thus that the far-sighted upper classmen on or about the second week of school deign to initiate the Freshmen with a royal array of paddles, fly-paper, etc. It is the custom that the Sophomores and Juniors plan and execute the initiation, while the more dignified Seniors are on hand to see that the Frosh are not unduly mistreated and that initiation is properly held. H. C. H. S. «3 WIN NAD A fr� 1927 TRADITIONS (Continued) After the Frosh are properly initiated and have become fully pledged members of the high school, there is given a “get together dance” by the student body. This is usually a private school affair, introductions are not considered necessary and every- one has the opportunity to become acquainted with everyone else. This dance is always well attended and goes far toward harmonizing the social life of the school. As designated by the school constitution the “W” on the mountain must be painted on the 8th of April. On this occasion the whole student body take part and do the thing up in royal style. All the boys of the school arm themselves with buckets and brooms, and under the supervision of the Block “W” Society members, give the huge letter a good coat of whitewash. The painting usually lasts until about noon when the boys return to the high school. Upon arriving, they are always pleasantly surprised by a banquet, prepared by the girls during their absence. The banquet is always attended by extemporaneous speeches from members of the student body and faculty members. After the banquet the tables and chairs are pushed back, and an enjoyable dancing party ensues. The painting of the “W” is looked forward to with keen anticipation by every loyal member of the school, as it is the emblem which signifies all that the school stands for, its traditions, its standards, and the pleasant memories of high school days which we shall always treasure. Second only to the “W” in the pride of the school is the old cannon which guards the southern corner of the school building. This same cannon once served in the Civil War. Later, when the North and South were once more at peace, the cannon was shipped to old Fort McDermitt, where the Indians were a constant menace. Now that the country is at peace and the cannon has outlived its usefulness, it has been placed as a guardian of our school and as a symbol of the guardianship of the nation. Each fall the Freshmen are required to paint and polish it, and each spring the mid-term Freshmen must again polish it and see that it is put in ship-shape. During the entire year the Seniors are shown “special privileges” by the student body. Is it not the Seniors who have undergone the Freshman initiation; who have worked for the betterment of the school, and have they not during their four years in school given their unfailing support to school activities in defeat as well as in victory? Is it not natural, then, that the Seniors should be favored in student body elections and activities? Feeling that they have not taken proper advantages of their “Senior Privileges,” or that they need a vacation, sometime during April when the snow has begun to recede in the mountains, the Seniors take their annual “cut day.” Kidnapping a teacher for a chaperone, they make their way to some favorite picnic ground and proceed to enjoy themselves thoroughly, while the underclassmen sit in school and study, haunted by the thought of the good time being had by the absent Seniors. Again the Seniors are specially honored by the Junior-Senior Banquet, given in honor of the departing Seniors. The banquet is quite an elahorte affair at which speeches are made by presidents of both classes and by faculty members. The last social event of the season is the Senior Ball, which is given on or about the last day of school. It is at this dance that the Seniors meet for the last time as a body and are hosts to the rest of the school. H. C. H. S. o| WINN ADA 1927 ATHLETICS 1927 H. C. H.

After a few days, Coach Lowry began to organize his team and systematic practice was begun. After three weeks the team left for Lovelock to play their first game, hoping to win, but not feeling certain of success as Lovelock had a very good team. Our team played a hard game, but was defeated by a score of 14 to 0. On October the 16th, our team again met Lovelock on account of Yerington canceling their game with Lovelock. This game was also played at Lovelock. Upon the occasion of th-is unexpected game, the team was unorganized: Roy Bankofier (the quarterback) was out of school with the mumps, and Cecil Martin (left end) had a sprained knee. But under this handicap the team succeeded in keeping the score down to 13 to 0. Our men with Lesley Brophy as quarterback put up a good fight and succeded in having a good game. On Pctober 13th the team went out on the field to win the return game with Lovelock. It was a hard-fought game—the first half ending 6 to 0 and the final score standing 12 to 0 in Lovelocks’ favor. On November 11th the Sparks team came to Winnemucca. The ensuing game was a hard and clean-fought one. We were beaten by a score of 20 to 0. This was the last game of the season. Although they did not win a game, the team feels that this has been a successful season because of the experience gained. Only three members of the squad are to be graduated this year, leaving a well experienced group to start the next season. H. C. H.

On January 8th we played our first game on the home court with Fallon. It was a close and hard-fought game, the third quarter ending 7 to 7, but our boys, working in full stride in the last quarter, won by a score of 14 to 7. On January 15th, Wells met us on the home court. The game started slow but at the end was comparatively fast. Our team again came off of the court with the long end of the score in their favor. The standing score was 39 to 12. On January 21st we met Elko on our court. This game was the fastest-fought game that the boys had played up to this time. The teams exchanged leadership all through the game, but our boys managed to control the leadership when the game finished. At the end of the first half it was 8 to 9. The final score was 15 to 18 in our favor. On January 26th Fallon forfeited 2 to 0 to Winnemucca. On January 26th our boys left on their first trip, which was west. They met Carson City on the 27th in a very fast game; taking the lead early in the game and retaining it to the end. The standing score was 28 to 18. The following night, January 28, our boys went up against Reno. The boys seemed unable to get going for some reason or other. This was our first defeat of the season. The score was 9 to 29. On the following night, January 29th, Sparks was our opponent. Our boys made a good showing there; they played hard, but due to the fatigue from the two previous nights were unable to keep up with the Sparks five. We were again defeated—8 to 17. On February 13th Sparks played us on our home court. After a clean, fast game, we defeated them by a scone of 23 to 12. On February 5th, Winnemucca met Lovelock at Winnemucca. Lovelock was victorious by a score of 23 to 9. On February 12th we toured to Lovelock to return the game. The fact that two of our main players were injured accounted for the high score made by the Lovelock quintet. Our substitutes, however, showed that they could play a hard game. The standing score was 42 to 14. On February 18th Carson had a return game with us. Both teams played fast and clean basketball. Winnemucca’s chances seemed small according to the score at the end of the half, which was 8 to 10 in Carson’s favor. The Winnemucca boys went back on the floor determined to win and when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Winnemucca lead Carson by a score of 21 to 19. On February 23rd the team left for an eastern trip including Metropolis, Wells, and Elko. The first game was with Metropolis on February 24th. We were victorious by a score of 20 to 12. H. C II. S. ocij WIN NAD A 192 Upon the following night, February 25th, we were again victorious by the score of 42 to 12. On the following night, February 26th, our team met the fast Elko team. After an exciting game our boys succeeding in adding another victory to their season’s schedule. The final score was 14 to 17. The Elko game was the last game of the season before the tournament. The week after the Elko game the H. C. H. S. hoys journeyed to Reno for the tourna- men. J hey defeated the Wells team on the first day. On the second day they were defeated by the fast Reno five who proved themselves to be the state champions of this season. 1 hus ended the basketball season. Since no member of the team is to be grad- uated this year, the boys have a good chance to bring home the cup next year.

The girls played their best but were too short, there- fore were unable to win from the large Fallon girls. The final score was 107 to 2. On January 15th they met the Wells girls, and finding the teams matched as to size, our girls redeemed themselves by playing a fast and steady game, winning by a score of 33 to 18. On February 4th the Sparks team met the local girls. Although this was a fast game and our team played hard, our opponents won by a score of 18 to 37. On February 5th Lovelock played on the local court; the first half ended with Lovelock considerably in the lead. The Winnemucca girls then returned on the court and put fear into the Lovelockers, by making baskets and keeping the opponents from doing so. Our team was again defeated by a score of 22 to 30. On February 12th a return game at Lovelock was played. Having three of their main players absent accounted for the serious defeat which resulted in the score of 8 to 35. On February 26th, our last game of the season was played with Battle Moun- tain. Our team again distinguished itself with a score of 8 to 55. Our team did not attend the tournament this year, but are almost certain to become one of the strong teams of the state before the next annual meeting. H. C. H.

S. fa WIN NAD A fa 1927 TRACK INCE the annual was printed this year before any of the spring athletic events, we can only surmise the possibility of our winning or losing. The scheduled track meet is the interclass meet, which is April 16th. The Juniors consider that they have this meet won, but the other three classes are promising them a good race in every event. Other meets are with Elko at Winnemucca April 23rd, then Winnemucca at Elko on April 13th. We consider that we have a good chance in both these meets. According to those competing in the separate events, Mr. Lowry, the track coach, stated that the following should be point getters: Joe Lyon, mije; Ted Moore, half-mile; Cecil Martin and Leslie Brophy, quarter-mile; Cecil Martin, 220-yard dash; Cecil Martin, 100-yard dash; Stanley Welsh and Glenn Jones, 50-yard dash; Roy Bankofier, high hurdles; Stanley Welsh and Edward Davis, low hurdles; Roy Bankofier and Girwin Bullis, pole vault; Stanley and Glenn Jones, broad jump; Roy Bankofier, Edward Davis, and Don Laucerica, high jump; Roy Bankofier, broad jump; David Bankofier, David Giroux, and Leslie Brophy, shot-put. Those trying for the javelin are David Giroux, Roy Bankofier, Girwin Bullis, Edward Davis, Leslie Brophy, Don Laucerica, Leslie Brophy, George Vargas, David Giroux, discus. The possible competitors in the relay are Glenn Jones, Cecil Martin, Leslie Brophy, Stanley Welsh, Roy Bankofier. If all these men place, we have a good chance at defeating Elko in both meets since Elko is just building up a track team. We also should have a good chance in the state meet at Reno May 6th and 7th. All the track boys are looking forward to this date and working hard so as to be able to go. The season can be considered successful whether we lose or win because the boy are developed from a standpoint of both health and athletics. H. C. H.

Their first game with an outside team was the Lovelock Junior High on the home court. The Midgets seemed to have stage fright in the first half and this made the game slow. In the second half the Midgets recovered and made it a fairly fast game. They lost by a score of 6 to 8. On February 8th they had a return game with Lovelock and played hard from beginning to end. Having three of their main players ill accounted for the large score made by the Lovelockers. The score was 18 to 3. On February 26th, Battle Mountain played the Midgets on the Winnemucca high school court. This was a fast and exciting game, the Battle Mountain team keeping in the lead until the last few minutes, when our boys stepped into the lead and managed to keep it until the whistle blew, announcing the end of the game. The score was 14 to 15. Throughout the season the Midgets played about fifteen games with the gram- mar school. No record was kept of these games, but it was considered about an even break. The Midgets’ season in basketball this year is considered a success because they have gained experience and are better prepared to take their places on the high school team when they are upper classmen. TENNIS HIS YEAR a great deal of interest was shown in tennis. Miss Blattner served as promoter for the girls and Mr. Kilian for the boys. Eighteen boys entered for tennis and twenty-eight girls. The games planned with Elko were called off since Elko has no team. Plans are under way to tournament at Lovelock, including Fallon, Lovelock and Winnemucca. The prospect of this trip has aroused considerable enthusiasm. A point tournament was held among the classes and a close score was attained. The Seniors carried away honors, the Juniors ranked second, then the Sophomores, while the Frosh took the booby prize. No definite record can be as yet given, because the Annual is printed before the spring events occur. H. C. H. S. 3 WINN AD A 1927 ALUMNI 1917 Helda Peck, Tonopah, Nevada; Avery Davenport, Mrs. R. C.
