S. •c WINNADA p 1928 SENIOR HISTORY ON the bright autumn morning of September 2, 1925, fifteen terror stricken Freshmen entered Humboldt County High School. Hav- ing endured the trials of initiation we became full fledged mem- bers of the student body. Our Freshman dance given the first semester, was a jolly Hallowe’en party. The rest of the year of hard work passed uneventfully. In our Sophomore year we found our greatest pleasure in inflict- ing upon the Freshmen such tortures as we had previously undergone. The year 1926 found the class well represented in athletics by Cecil Martin, Roy Bankofier, Orvis Reil, Glenn Jones, Leslie Brophy. The Sophomores, by a large majority of points won the interclass track meet. Beside the silver cup donated by Mr. Beaty, the class received a second cup when Cecil Martin won the place of high point man. “The Hand of the Law,” the class play, was successfully present- ed to a large audience at the Nixon opera house. Mr. Lowry, class ad- visor, acted as coach. All too soon our Junior year rolled around. Girwin Bullis, who had been a Freshman with us, again entered the class. We lost six members: Lloyd Stites, who became a Senior, Vera Boyd, Irma Fagg, Grace Guthrie, Violet Gayer, Leona Springer. Miss Alice Austen of Minnesota was a member of the class for a short time. Gustave Seeliger, Girwin Bullis, Joe Boggio joined the other Jun- iors taking part in athletics. The girls were represented in basketball by Pearl Martin. The Junior Prom, given on April 15, proved as successful as our other parties. A four-piece orchestra furnished the music upon this occa- sion. ; Our Senior year has been the busiest and happiest of those we have spent at Humboldt County High School. Represented in athletics as be- fore the Seniors again won the interclass meet by a large score. Frank Ford, state champion orator, again represented the school this year in the constitutional oratorical contest. Defeating his classmate Miss Cosby, he won the district contest and won second place in the state finals. Miss Cosby and Mr. Jones were the school’s representatives in debating and won second place in the state debating tournament. The Seniors have this year proved themselves capable officers of the student body. Roy Bankofier, Robert Rossier, Blanche Cosby, Girwin Bullis, Glenn Jones, Gustav Seeliger and Frank Ford have all been very successful officers. H. C. H. S. WINNADA 19 2 8 This year we lost Pearl Martin and Alice Hummel from our class. The classplay “Be An Optimist” was presented in Winnemucca, Battle Mountain and Paradise Valley. The play, given under the direc- tion of Miss Maybeth Bowman, proved a great success in all three cities. The last social event of the year will be the Junior-Senior banquet and the Senior ball. Then on June 8, we bid farewell to our classmates. And, in future life let us carry out our class motto, “Onward is our aim.” Class motto, “Onward Is Our Aim”; class flower, red rose; class colors, blue and silver; class advisor, Miss Bertha Blattner.

I could faintly hear a mutter, as a monk inclined to stutter, (Yea) a demon, for it filled my soul with fear, As I reached to clutch a missile, I discerned a deep shrill whistle, Twas a sound that caused my thoughts to disappear. I jumped straightway for my table, scarcely fast as I was able, For I wished to be aloof from crawling things; And the wind moaned ghostly haunting, yet I held my ground undaunting, But I felt my head grow lighter by the strain. As I trembled-shaking-reeling, the thunder loudly pealing Added only to my suffering and my pain. Now the door burst open wide, bathing everything inside. With an atmosphere unlike the room of red, And my heart now ceased its racing, and quickly I was facing An answer to my wondering of fate. For behold! Before me stood, not an image carved of wood, But a member of the class of twenty-eight. I climbed down from my high perch, and with a headlong lurch J sought now to embrace my long lost friend, But his voice sqawked ghostly-wheezing, a warning quite displeasing, And I sat bewildered down upon my bed, “I have come” he boomed amazing, his large eyes fiercely blazing, “To show to you the powers of the dead.” “My friend,” he said with sorrow, “let us look into the morrow And behold the present labors of our class.” As the wind blew out the light, and enshrouded me with night, I could faintly see a scene upon my door. My sense was pulled asunder, with the spell that I was under. Yet I marveled at my friends in human lore. H. C. H. S. 3 WINNADA 1928 I could see my old friend Moon in an up-to-date saloon, With one arm gently resting on the bar, And the owner of this joint, (should I come straight to the point) Was our loved and noble president, Mr. Bob. As it vanished from my view and another shown anew, Twas a pleasure that from me none could rob. On a farm in Idaho, I behold my aid friend Joe, t A-singing while a-hoeing up his corn, And lo, there at his side stood his fair and blushing bride, Twas Theresa for she smiled at him so sweet. I know he was content for everywhere he went, A tiny tot was playing at his feet. Then Gus shown on the scene, his features drawn and mean, All he needed to be Jesse was a horse. And Leslie at his side, was out to get his hide, For now he was the sheriff of Rose Creek. And Florence, plump and fat, on a feather pillow sat. For she was now the towns well known antique. Now this scene was done, and another had begun. It was “Dutch” Reil, the proud papa 6f twins; And how his face did beam and strange as it may seem, . Stood Merna in all her radiance of bliss. He took her in his arms and gloated o’er her charms, Who ever thought that “Dutch” would come to this? I could see our brilliant Frank as an officer of rank, Upon the South Sea islands far away, And Bonnie in her splendor, was the well known female spender. For her man had croaked and left her all his cash. And Cecil in his prime, was also in this clime, Just waiting for his chance to make a mash. 4m And Roy had passed away for he had had his day, A slaving just to drink Nevada dry. Then struck as by a spear, I was nipped upon the ear, And the vision dropped abruptly from the door.. For Girwin (darn his hide) had calmly slipped outside, And passed off into space forevermore. ar •• G. J. ’28 g -- r : i - ■ , r -.j i.' • -v-; . 1 • • 4':,$ ........ G.S. '28 H. C. H. S.

Many changes have taken place since that eventful morning. The upper classmen, for the next two weeks, certainly knew how to make us work and like it. The Frosh “Glee” was given on Armistice day. With a good or- chestra and ideal “eats” the dance was called a success. Then we gave a play called “Never Again.” It went over big and proved to the town that our class had talent. We celebrated by having a picnic in Water canyon. In the fall of ’26 we entered the Sophomore class. We were not as bashful as we had been a year before. This time we had the fun of chas- ing the freshmen. Our Sophomore Hop was given at the first of the New Year. We had a three piece orchestra and good “eats.” Everyone had a good time. Upperclassmen at last! It took us two years to get there, but “OH BOY!” This year Stanley Welsh, David Giroux, Charles Branting, Ted Moore, Don Laucirica, Walter Blattner and Lester Schmith have all made letters. Mary Backus, Kathryn Byrne, Virginia Robinson, Kathleen O’Carroll and Virginia Echave are the girls who have made their letters. We have won the interclass basketball championship for three years and hope to win it again next year. We have been very active in all branches of athletics. Can “Webster” Burhans spell ? He won the spelling match for the Juniors between the classes of ’29 and ’30. In the H. C. H. S. S. B. A. we have been honored by having Mary Backus, Charles Branting, Stanley Welsh, Virginia Echave and Kathryn Byrne elected as student body officers. Florence Jones missed her Junior year to become a Senior. Burke Holloway and Bertha Thompson did not return to school. Walter Bur- hans entered our class from Elko. William Miller registered from Willow Point. Elsie Kibbee left the class of ’30 to join us. This year we have won two contests carried on by the H. C. H. S. S. B. A. We were declared winner of the student body dues contest and the Winnada dues contest. Our Junior Prom given on Friday, April 13 was very successful. Our 1928 play “Am I Intruding?” will be given on May 19. It is a very good play and it is expected to be a “howling success.” The last social entertainment will be the Junior’s banquet to the Seniors. We wish to bid them a farewell that they will remember throughout their lives. Let next year come. We are prepared. T. M. ’29 H. C. H.

S. WINNADA 1928 SOPHOMORE HISTORY THE sun slipped up over the horizon on September 7, 1926, just as it does on every other morning; but how different this day was only 39 Sophomores can now relate. If a stranger should enter Humboldt County High School, approach a Soph and ask him how this day differed from others, said stranger would probably receive a reply similar to this: “Ho, well I should say it was different, that’s the day we entered this high school as Frosh.” Initiation was soon held and was described the following morning as “horrible and awful.” But after this experience w'e gradually became accustomed to all the mysteries and customs of H.C.H.S. We settled down to hard study almost immediately and the class was well represented on the scholarship roll. The Frosh “broke the ice” by giving the first class dance of the year, which everyone proclaimed a huge success. For the first year in high school our class was fairly well repre- sented in athletics, and thus ended our “green” year. When we returned to school in September, most members of the class favored a severe initiation for the Frosh but after much debating, little misery was dealt out to them. Mildred Backus served as president of the Sophomore class for part of the first semester and Harold Branting was elected to complete the term upon Miss Backus’s resignation. Glenn Lyon served as presi- dent the second semester. The members of the Sophomore class were very proud when the student body selected two Sophs for yell leaders. Glenn Lyon was elected boys yell leader and Lucrezia Loinaz was selected as girl’s yell leader. Our second year proved much more successful in athletics than our first, and wre hope in our Junior year to establish ourselves still more firmly in athletics and in scholarship. The Sophomore Hop was held early in the school year and adds to our list of successful dances. Our Sophomore year is now drawing to a close and we look back longingly upon the two years of our high school life that have already slipped by. We would be inclined to feel sad if we did not have the best portion of high school life still ahead of us and we are very anxious that our Junior and Senior years prove themselves as pleasant and as beneficial as have our Freshman and Sophomore years.

You might ask if we would like to go back to our grammar school days? We’ll say not. The Freshmen were kept in horrible sus- pense for two weeks by the upperclassmen. They described terrible things which would happen to us on September 28, 1927. On the appoint- ed eve we arrived ready to die. Finally, they decided that all we needed was a dose of castor oil and a good shock. WE GOT IT! After that we became full-fledged members of the H.C.H.S. We were joined by six new members in January. Our class now is the largest in school. Three Frosh represented our class in the Block W society. Leonard Clausen won a football letter and Ruth McBride and Gloria Germain won basketball letters. The Freshmen were given the privilege of giving the first dance, so on the evening of November 3 we entertained royally at the Freshman glee. We gradually got over the terrible sensation of being looked upon as low Frosh, until now we can look upon anything from Seniors to scrubs. Many times we have been asked for our opinion of the Seniors and Juniors. As we are not afraid to speak, here they are. Although we all expect to become Seniors some day, and all Frosh admire them, we have a longing to get the better of the upperclassmen and show them up. We hold a little more esteem for the Juniors. They are closer to us and we admire them when they do put something over on the Seniors. Despite all these tricks and tribulations, we have decided that we can stand it a little longer, so you will find us all here next year. M. M. ’31 3o H. C. H. S.

Regular practice was begun and Coach Lowry soon organized his team, which settled down to hard training. After several weeks of practice we met our ancient opponent, Lovelock. This does not indicate the fight that our boys made with “Lady Luck” against them. Roy Bankofier was put out with a sprained ankle. We met defeat to the score of 20-0. Our next game came two weeks later. It was with Lovelock at Lovelock. Our boys went into the game set on winning. Roy Bankofier was taken out again with a sprained ankle. There were breaks for and against us. However, as before, we were defeated to the score of 18-12. Our boys certainly gave Lovelock a tough time of it. On November 21 we met the fast Sparks eleven. The game was clean and fast and the machine-like actions of our team should have carried us to victory, if it had not been for a mistake in counting score. H.C.H.S. made the first touchdown of the game. It was nip and tuck with Sparks victorious 12-20. The team worked together splendidly and played real football. During this season we did not win a game, but the fighting spirit, co-operation, and experience of the players has been greatly developed, which means a great deal in future undertakings. Although we lose four players this year, H.C.H.S. looks forward to a very successful season next fall. G. B. ’28 ■3i • H. C. H. S.

C. H. S. WINNADA 1928 BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEVERAL weeks passed between football and basketball season. Ev- eryone believed we would have a good team as all of last year’s men reported. Our first games were pre-season games with Wells and Battle Mountain. We defeated them to scores of 19-12 and 27-11 respectively. On January 6 we met Carlin on the home court. The half ended 15-9 in our favor but the Carlin five weakened and we were victorious 39-11. On January 13 we met Lovelock which was known as a tough team. However, with everyone working hard we won to the tune of 35-16. H.C.H.S. looked as though they had a champ team during this game. On January Elko invaded our court and indeed proved themselves to be a fighting team. The half ended 8-8 and during the next half our boys did their best, leaving the floor victorious, 17-12. On January 21 we met the highly rated Fallon team which went down to defeat after a fast game with the score 23-10 in our favor. On Januwy 27 Sparks invaded Winnemucca and it was to this team we owe our first defeat. At one time we were 9 points ahead of Sparks, but they spurted up and nosed us out 25-27. Our trip west began on February 1 and on February 2 we met Carson on their home court. The boys seemed unable to get going. How- ever, we emerged the victor with a score of 27-20. We met Reno at Reno on February 3. The half ended 11-11 and in the third quarter our boys spurted up until the score stood 17-12 in our favor. Roy Bankofier, our key man was taken sick with the chicken pox in the last quarter and Reno with shots from the center of the floor nosed out on us 17-21. Our boys demonstrated their ability in this game and certainly had Reno guessing. On February 4 we met Sparks at Sparks. With two of our men gone, we were a great deal weakened and went to defeat, 17-25. Upon returning home we met Carson high school which we defeat- ed 23-17. On February 10 we met Battle Mountain, who were easily H. C. H. S.

The second string men ran wild during this game and we scored at will. The following week our boys went on their eastern trip. The first night we met Carlin and won easily, 32-16. On the following night we met Wells and they also went down before our boys to the score of 42-11. The last game of the eastern trip came on February 18 with Elko. Our men were altogether for the first time during the year and we were vic- torious, 28-14. On February 23 Yerington invaded our courts. Our boys won after a slow game, 24-13. On February 25 we invaded the court of Lovelock high, whose team was highly touted. The game was fast and clean with H.C.H.S. the winners 22-18. After several days the boys traveled to Reno for the tournament. Gardnerville was our first opponent. but its team was easily defeated 32-18. The same day we met Wells who were also defeated 30-15. Roy Bankofier Donald Laucirica Lester Schmith Stanley Welsh David Giroux Walter Blattner Harold Branting Albert Lowry ■37 H. C. H. S. WINNADA ■ 1928 The following day we met Overton, a “dark horse” of the tourney. With Laucerica, our star forward out, we were forced, although we emerged victorious 17-14. The next game, the semi-finals, we met the fast Tonopah five. With Laucerica out of the game with a sprained ankle, and Schmith put out early in the game with a broken arm, the result surely looked doubtful. Although the substitutes showed fight, we met defeat 12-3. With our two main players in, everyone feels certain we would have won the tour- ney. For the entire year, Winnemucca has secured 544 points in basket- ball to our opponents 328, beating them by 216 points. This indeed, has been a very succesful season and with only one man graduating, next year should be a big one also. Here’s to a better, faster, championship Winnemucca team! G. B. ’28 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL THE girls basketball team this year has been a big success. Our team has beaten several of the best teams in the state. At the beginning of the season our girls played fair ball. However, after several weeks of coaching by Ray Kilian a vast improvement was noted. On December 17, the girls met Wells and we were defeated after a hard fought game by the score of 19-31. A week later Battle Mountain visited and their girls met defeat to the score of 16-14. Our old opponents, Lovelock, played us here on January 13. After a hard fought game we emerged victorious, 16-18. On January 21 our girls met Fallon, who were later the state champs. The girls of H.C.H.S. fought hard but were unable to cope with the champions. The final score was Fallon 38, Winnemucca 9. On January 27 our girls met Sparks, who were a fast team. They managed to defeat us, 24 to 22, but it was “some game.” On the western trip our girls played Carson and were beaten by the close score of 13 to 11. The following night the strong Reno team took our girls into camp by the score of 34-16. In the following game our girls came back strong and defeated Sparks 36-35. Battle Mountain played its return game here on February 10 and our girls defeated them 25-20. The return game to Lovelock was played on February 11, where- upon our girls were easily victorious, 21-8. H. C. H. S.

In the drawing for the tournament our girls drew Fallon—state champs. After a game, hard fight, we met defeat, 51-13. The next day we played Tonopah, who nosed out on us 26-24, just as the whistle blew. It was a keen disappointment to be defeated so early in the tour- nament, but the basketball girls have profited much from this season’s experience. More power to the women! G. B. ’28 3 ? H. C. H. S.

As soon as the weather permitted, the tennis players began to practice and in several weeks were in fine condi- tion for the hardest of opponents. On the twenty-eighth of April, Elko journed to Winnemucca to play the first scheduled game of the season. Seeliger and Blattner played the singles and doubles on this occasion. Seeliger met defeat only after a hard battle and after having match point two consecutive times. Blattner met another Elko player in the singles to emerge victorious. The doubles match was the thriller of the day. Elko had match point several times, and it was only with the gamest of fights that our team emergest with victory. Score: 1-6, 6-8, 6-4 On May 5 our team played Elko at Elko, defeating them still more decisively. On May 20 an interscholastic tennis tournament will be held, in which the schools of Lovelock, Elko, Battle Mountain and Winnemucca will take part. We may be sure that our team will fight their hardest to win the beautiful loving cup given by Arthur Lyon. G.B. ’28 H. C. H. S. WINNADA 1928 CALENDAR SEPTEMBER: 6. School opens with a bang.

WINNADA fa- 1928 ACTIVITIES BOYS’ INITIATION About two weeks after school started a bunch of half-scared, green looking Frosh wended their way to the High School to receive their annual torture. Poor Dears! How we did pity them, but “Beezness izz beezness.” After they had been “all but killed” they were taken out in‘the desert to let the wild animals devour them, but they must not have proved very good appetizers, since they all returned to school upon the following Monday. GIRLS’ INITIATION A few days previous to the boys’ initiation, the girls of the Fresh- man class with quivering hearts and shaking knees came to the High School to be initiated into the mysteries of Humboldt High. Judging from the way their wrecked forms appeared the next day, the “poor children” must have been nearly “murdered” but they soon recovered and are still 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. The best of the first series of essays was written by Blanche Cosby upon the topic: “Pioneer Tales and Experiences of Nevada.” Other prizes were won by Rena Pedroli for the Juniors, and Fred Walts for the Sophomores. Another essay contest on the subject: “Suggestions for improv- ing the Rodeo” was won by Ralph Lorentz from the Sophomore class. Girwin Bullis won the Senior prize and the Junior prize was won by Ted Moore. SHORT STORY CONTEST A short story contest, sponsored by Mrs. Hudson will be held again this year. This contest is open to the entire student body. As the annual goes to press several stories have already been turned in, and from their excellent qualities this contest appears to be a success. THE “W” GETS ITS ANNUAL WHITEWASH The huge Block “W” on Wiinnemucca mountain received its an- nual whitewash this year on March 16 under the direction of the Block “W” Society. To compensate the boys for their day’s work the girls stayed home and prepared a lunch which was served in the gymnasium during the noon hour. “Hot dog! Some Feed! Best ever!” CLEAN-UP DAY Arbor day was selected for the annual clean-up day for this year. The morning was spent in raking the lawn, fixing the track and tennis courts, pruning the trees and cleaning up the yard. By hard, earnest work we accomplished a great deal and when we had finished we felt very proud of the general appearance. H. C. H. S. 3 WINNADA fa 1928 CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY’S SELLING CAMPAIGN This year again the salesman from the Curtis Publishing Com- pany visited our school. The entire student body was divided into two teams and although not quite as successful as the previous year with our selling campaign, we cleared some money for the student body treas- ury. “Every little bit helps.” PUBLICATIONS THE WINNADA The Winnada is but a mirror reflecting the purposes, plans and accomplishments of the H.C.H.S. Like all mirrors, it reflects well only when great care and diligence have been exercised in its making. A united school not only furnishes a better subject to be reflected, but it gives to those in charge of forming the mirror, encouragement, and makes possible a larger degree of efficiency in their work. Thus to have the school working for the success of this book and supporting those who are working for the Winnada means that greater Winnadas will be built. The name “Winnada” is compounded from the names of our na- tive city and state, Winnemucca, Nevada. This name was chosen by a popular vote of the entire student body several years ago. This year the support received has been very good and we of the annual staff wish to thank all who have contributed to the success of this book. May such a book be published every year and meet with the great- est of success! THE HUMBOLDT This year it was again 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. Thanks to the kind co- operation of that paper, we believe that our “High School Notes” has proved successful. The editor for the first semester was Blanche Cosby, who was assisted by Orvis Reil, Ted Moore, Ruth Bowrin and Lois Hut- chinson. Glenn Jones served as editor the second semester and his assist- ants were Albert Seeliger, Elsie Kibbee, Phyllis Cocks and Bob Gingery. “SPIRIT OF ’30” The English II class, under the direction of Mrs. Hudson, pub- lished this year a twenty-five page paper in magazine form. Mildred Backus acted as editor, assisted by Electa Rollins, Lucrezia Loinaz, Phyllis Cocks, Donnie Sullivan, Gerhart Reil, Leroy Brophy, Lloyd Mul- linix and Lester Schmith. This little journal contained sports, society, short stories, art and jokes. A great deal of praise should be given Mrs. Hudson and her class of Sophomores for this was really a splendid little paper. H. C. H. S. 3 WINNADA 1928 ORGANIZATIONS ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY Another year of successful student body government has rolled by. This year the student body was larger than it has been for many years, the total enrollment being 110. This organization has made much progress in enforcing school laws and promoting school activities. An executive body, composed of the class presidents, class advisors and student body officers, was again organized to superintend the general business of the student body. A few amendments have been added to the Constitution, concerning Block “W” letters. Many heated debates have been heard in the student body meetings, held the first and third Fridays of each month. Our aim—A live student body, live activities, and a live school. The following officers were elected for the year: First Semester Roy Bankofier..................President Robert Rossier............Vice President Mary Backus....................Secretary Blanche Cosby..................Treasurer Girwin Bullis..........;Boys Yell Leader Kathleen O’Carroll.....Girls Yell Leader Gustav Seeliger.......Boys Athletic Mgr.

We started off the year with a bang by making several amendments to the Constitution concern- ing the awarding of “W”s. On March 16, our big day, we supervised the painting of the Block “W” upon Winnemucca mountain. In the evening we held our annual dance, serving one of the largest crowds of the year. This society, an honorary society, is truly an asset to any school, for it stimulates clean, fair activities. M.B. ’29 42 H. C. H.

In December the advanced and beginners orchestra were combined into a twenty-one piece orchestra, the largest this school has ever had. The next activity was the operetta, “My Spanish Sweetheart,” in which over sixty students took part. This operetta was prettily costum- ed in Dutch, Spanish and English style, and all parts were well taken. Several students showed remarkable voice culture. After the operetta was given a sousaphone was purchased and placed in the orchestra. This has added very materially to the orchestra. H. C. H. S.

The party was held in the sand dunes about nine miles north of here. We had good “eats,” good games, lots of fun, and a “swell” time. Our only regret is that this kind of a party can be held by the Glee Clubs only once a year. Near the end of school a musical program is to be presented. Here the best in Boys’ Glee, Girls’ Glee and Orchestra will give vocal and in- strumental solos, duets, trios, and quartettes. Members of the Principles of music class will give a brief history of Music from its earliest date up Glee Clubs’ Operetta, “My Spanish Sweetheart to the present time. From all expectations this musicale program will prove to be a success. Throughout the year the music department has been very active in helping program, plays and other activities. The aim of this department has been fourfold: To increase the love of Music for every student; to aid the student to enjoy life by the appre- ciation of the best that is in music; to create a desire for more and better music; and to stimulate accomplishment through activity. If the musical departments have done this, we are satisfied. M.B. ’29 and M.B. 5 £ H.C.H.S. «3 WINNADA fa 1928 Scene from Senior play, “Be an Optimist” DRAMATICS We have had a very successful season in dramatics this year. We have, however, been handicapped by the lack of stage properties, mak- ing it necessary to give our plays down town at a considerable expense. The building of a new stage with all modern properties would indeed be an excellent project for our school to undertake in 1928. Such a project would be of great value to both our school and our city. Why not give it a thought? By far the best play of the year was the Senior play, “Be an Optimist,” presented on three successive nights in Winnemucca, Para- dise Valley and Battle Mountain. Much credit is due Miss Bowman for her patience and ability in coaching our play, which was a decided success. The musical and home economics departments have presented several operettas and shows containing a great deal of speaking parts. All parts have shown excellent coaching. In the latter part of the year the Junior class will present “Am I Intruding?”, which is said to be a very good play. On the last day of school Mr. Kilian’s shop class and Mrs. Hud- son’s public speaking class will give two one-act plays. From all expec- tation these will be very successful. F.F. ’28 H. C. H. S. WINNADA 1928 DEBATING - ORATORY Our debating teams have this year proved a credit to the school. Robert Rossier, Frank Ford, Blanche Cosby and Glenn Jones demon- strated decided ability in a debate held in the school assembly. Several debates have been held in the Public Speaking classes. Mr. Ford and Miss Cosby were chosen as the team to represent Winnemucca in the state finals at Reno. Mr. Ford was unable to attend—Glenn Jones being sent in his place. This team defeated the highly touted Fallon team which included Mary K. Norris, twice state debating champion, and de- feated the Las Vegas team which earlier in the day had won from Sparks. This threw our debaters into the finals against Panaca, state champions of the preceding year. While Panaca proved too strong for our team, we felt that the defeat of Fallon and Las Vegas and our sub- sequent entrance into the state finals established a good record for the Humboldt County High School. NATIONAL ORATORICAL CONTEST In the district contest of the national oratorical contest on the subject of “The American Constitution,” our school was represented by Blanche Cosby and Frank Ford. Frank Ford, 1927 state chamipon orator, won first place in the district contest and was sent to Reno to represent this district in the state finals. Although he was defeated by Mary K. Norris of Fallon, who received a somewhat doubtful decision, Frank deserves much praise for his work in oratory and for the record he will leave our school in this line. S' 7 W.H. 3 WINNADA 1928 H.

I'd float across the mountain, And gaze down on the plain; Then like a bubbling Fairy fountain, I’d scatter drops of rain. THE DAY OF DAYS It was a Monday morning One September in July; The sun was shining brightly In a clear but cloudy sky. The Doodle bugs were crowing, The onions were in bloom, Outside, the rain was snowing; We waited, breathless, for our doom. Then footprints upon horseback We heard ent’ring through the door; We looked up from our lessons— Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!” Our dear teacher then made entrance, Stalked majestically to her desk, Boomed out in a voice of thunder: “Kids, were gonna have a test!” We all shrank from her in terror, Shank away as if in pain; Then a barefoot boy with shoes on Came tripping down the lane. Said he then to our fair teacher, “Please don’t give these kids a test;” And his eyes they filled with teardrops, One looked east and one looked west. Then a voice from that still classroom Rang out both loud and clear, “He is right, my dear Miss Blattner, Buy us all a glass of beer.” Miss Blattner’s heart was softened, So in place of a difficult test She excused us for the morning, And set our minds at rest.

The Doodle bugs were crowing, The onions were in bloom, Outside, the rain was snowing; We waited, breathless, for our doom. Then footprints upon horseback We heard ent’ring through the door; We looked up from our lessons— Quoth the raven, “Nevermore!” Our dear teacher then made entrance, Stalked majestically to her desk, Boomed out in a voice of thunder: “Kids, were gonna have a test!” We all shrank from her in terror, Shank away as if in pain; Then a barefoot boy with shoes on Came tripping down the lane. Said he then to our fair teacher, “Please don’t give these kids a test;” And his eyes they filled with teardrops, One looked east and one looked west. Then a voice from that still classroom Rang out both loud and clear, “He is right, my dear Miss Blattner, Buy us all a glass of beer.” Miss Blattner’s heart was softened, So in place of a difficult test She excused us for the morning, And set our minds at rest. H. C. H. S 1928 «3 WINNADA VIEWS OF H. C. II. S. H. C. H. S. 3 WINNADA f 1928 HISTORY OF H. C. H. S. AWAY back in the year 1890 our Humboldt High was not as we know it today. At that time the high school course, taught in a small frame building, consisted of but one year’s work. In this one year a large number of subjects were taught. The first graduating class, the class of 1891, consisted of five persons: Allie Minor, Maud Miller, Arthur Guthrie, Frank Germain and Clara McGonagle. F. T. Benson, J. B. McGonagle and E. D. Kelley comprised the first board of trustees. From 1906 to 1908, Mr. T. A. Brandon served as principal. In 1907 he installed the first physics and chemistry laboratory. At this time there was an average of thirty-five pupils in school and an average of ten in the graduating class. Only two teachers were employed for the handling of thirty-five students. In 1913 a pressing need for a new building was shown. Accord- ingly, the old building was sold to the city of Winnemucca for $20,000 and a delegation of five members was sent to the legislature to petition for the right of issuing bonds to the amount of $15,000. The legislature passed the bill. Out of the $35,000 thus gained a five acre lot was pur- chased and Mr. George iFerris was detailed to draw plans for the new building. The new building, completed in 1914, was built at a total cost of $28,000, including $5,000 for the installation of a heating plant. The board at this time consisted of Charles Hoskins, W. H. Cooper and James B. Burns. In 1920, when Mr. J. D. Scott was principal, the space behind the school building was cleared and a cinder track was constructed for the use of the state track meet to be held in the spring of the following year. The track was called Scott field in honor of the principal. At this time the 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 the track still further improved. In 1925 concrete retaining walls were built about the lawn, flowers, plants and shrubs were planted, and a football gridiron was constructed in the middle of the track. Mr. J. J. Beaty was then the principal. In 1926 a balcony was added to the gymnasium, an excellent locker system was established, and the gymnasium floor was relaid. This year, the year of 1927-1928, several improvements have been made. The inside halls and stairways have been newly painted, the tennis court has been relaid by the shop boys, two electric light posts have been placed at the foot of the steps in front of the school, and the track has been recindered and curbed. Now we have a wonderful little school with all modern improve- ments. May it continue to grow and may it receive still more improve- ments in the future. F. F. ’28 H. C. H. S. 3 WINNADA fa 1928 GET-TOGETHER DANCE A get-together dance was given two weeks after school started, the purpose of which was to have all the students become better ac- quainted. Punch was served during the dance. The Freshmen were in- duced to dance by the Seniors and they seemed to enjoy themselves im- mensely. CARNIVAL DANCE On October seventh a Carnival Dance was given by the Home Economics Department. The Gymnasium was a riot of color, lined on both sides by attractive “sideshows” and wonderful “curiosities.” Car- : nival caps and noisemakers were sold and a good time was had by all. FRESHMAN GLEE The Frosh gave their annual party on the evening of November eleventh. Delicious refrshments were served, the orchestra was good and it may be said that the dance was a success. SPARKS RECEPTION On November nineteenth the last football game of the 1928 season, Winnemucca vs. Sparks, was played. The game was followed by a feed given by the Home Economics Department. Later in the evening a dance was given in honor of the visiting team. SOPHOMORE HOP The Sophomores are proud of their reputation for giving good parties. Their Hop given on December ninth proved no exception to the rule. Serving a large crowd, they proved themselves able entertainers. BLOCK “W” LUNCHEON AND DANCE “Some feed!” “Keen dance!” “Gee, I’m tired!” “Swell time!” These were the expressions heard on March sixteenth, for on that day our “W” on the hill was painted. To compensate the boys for their hard work the girls served a delicious luncheon at noon. In the evening a hard times dance was enjoyed by all. JUNIOR PROMENADE The Junior Promenade, held on the “lucky” evening of Friday, April thirteenth proved to be the biggest social event thus far of the school year. Cake and coffee were served. 6 H. C. H. S. WINNADA p 1928 PUBLIC SPEAKING BANQUET On May fifth the members of the Public Speaking Class held a banquet. As a climax to the delicious dinner, toasts were delivered by those present on the different phrases of Public Speaking work. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET During the last week of school the Juniors will give a banquet in honor of the departing Seniors. This is to be quite an elaborate affair and speeches will be made by members of both classes and by faculty mem- bers. SENIOR BALL Of course, everyone is planning and looking forward to the Senior ball which will be given on June eighth following commencement exer- cises. The Senior class is the only one that will decorate for their party and from all expectations this dance will prove to be the most elaborate event of the season. For the last time the Seniors will meet as a body to bid farewell to H.C.H.S. F.

A brilliant October moon was flooding the room with its mellow light. The various objects in the room could be seen dimly. On the bed lay two figures wrapped in slumber. One figure rises, looks around and seeing the other form still sleeping, gets out of bed. He pauses, looks cautiously around— A shot in the dark!—one, two,, three, four!----Silence-----Then Broph looks at the still form of Giroux laying on the bed----Ah! The deed is done!—Brophy slips Giroux’s bottle back under the pillow and quietly retires. Here are a few useful hints to the Domestic Science class: 1— A coat of shellac on the bot- tom of a cherry pie will keep the juice from running out. 2— A pinch of Portland cement will settle the coffee. 3— Never throw away old doughnuts, they make good nap- kin rings. 4— A moth ball dissolved in the pancake dough will keep the pan- cakes from rusting. 5— Burned edges may easily be removed from pastry by rubbing with a curry comb. 6— Never mix religion and cooking. Burnt offering may re- sult. 7— Never open soft-boiled eggs with a can-opener. 8— Never try to open a milk bottle with a hammer. Thos. E.
