H. C. H. S. 3 WINN ADA p . 1927 SENIOR HISTORY RAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP, the greens came marching, six females strong, January 21, 1924, unaware of all the tortures awaiting us. 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.
