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.
