H. C. H. 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.
