H . C. H. S. WINNADA 1928 JUNIOR HISTORY SEPTEMBER the fifteenth, fifteen frightened, trembling “Freshies” entered the Humboldt County high School. 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
