WINNADA p 1929 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY THE HISTORY of the class of ’29—from the time its members first registered their names in the books of Humboldt County High School until the day when they will survive the trials, victories and defeats of four years of High School life—is an interesting and instruc- tive one. On September the fifteenth of 1925, fifteen shy students entered Humboldt County High School to prepare themselves for the ordeals and struggles of life. Two outstanding events of that year were the Frosh “Glee,” given on Armistice day and a play called “Never Again.” In our Sophomore year, we applied ourselves industriously to our work. Our Sophomore Hop was a “Great Success.” Good “eats” and a peppy orchestra. Having made two downs and realizing we had two to go, we set about to win more honors for our class. We were represented by Stanley Welsh, David Giroux, Charles Branting, Don Laucerica, Ted Moore, Walter Blattner and Lester Schmith in Basketball and Football, all of which made letters in one or the other. Mary Backus, Kathryn Byrne, Virginia Robinson, Kathleen O’Carroll and Virginia Echave are the girls who made their letter in Basketball. Mary Backus, Charles Branting, Stanley Welsh, Virginia Echave and Kathryn Byrne attained the honor of being elected to Student Body offices. During our Junior year, Elsie Kibbee, William Miller and Walter Burhans entered our class, while we bereaved the loss of Florence Jones, Burke Holloway and Bertha Thompson. More honors fell to the class when we won two contests carried on by H. C. H. S. S. B. A. Those of student dues and Winnada dues con- tests. Though our Prom was given on Friday, the thirteenth, it was de- clared to be the most interesting and best party of the year. June closed our career as Juniors and with it an eventful year of our High School life. In our Senior year, we have proved ourselves capable Student Body officers. David Giroux and Charles Branting each serving a term as president; Mary Backus as secretary; Kathryn Byrne and Stanley Welsh as treasurer; Walter Blattner as vice-president and Ernest Elliott as yell leader. Ted Moore was chosen Editor of the Winnada. o H.C.H.S. WINNADA p 1929 Ruth Bowrin, Ralph Bowrin, Cleto Bengoa left the Junior class to enter ours. Ernest Elliott also is a new member of the class. Are we proud of our Basketball teams? Both the girls and boys won penants for being champions of the interclass Basketball tourna- ment. We are represented on both High School teams. The Senior play, “Second Childhood,” given on December 19 proved a success. The townpeople fell in love with the play and were very much surprised that amateurs could put a play on so well in such a short time. The debating team for H. C. H. S. was composed of Seniors. Ted Moore and David Giroux both made the team but could not go to Reno for the State tournament as they were in Chicago. May 16 was a very quiet day at school. The Seniors kidnaped Mrs. Hudson and all went for a ride. The annual cut day was spent at Thomas canyon. The Junior-Senior Banquet given by Juniors and Seniors and the Senior Ball will be the last social events of this year. Thus ends the history of the class of ’29. May we all remember our school days together and meet one another throughout the rest of our lives. —M.

S. 3 WINNADA fa 1929 Class Prophecy “Tis, been many years past,” the Stranger’s voice was slow, •‘Aye, tis been at least full twenty years ago. “Queer, have been the careers meted out by hands of time, And queerer yet, the happenings of the class of ’29.” “Hmm-m, let me see,” and his gaze was shifted down. “Earnest Elliott, a funny boy, became a traveling clown. Rena Pedroli, poor kid, has herself tied down for life, For she became another clown and also Elliott’s wife.” “Welsh—? you say—? why I used to know him too, Now he is a big magistrate of Bolivia, and Peru, “They say he has waiters, servants, and one thousand churls, And also has a hundred or so of pretty hula hula girls.” “Lossy, Giroux, and Branting, folks wondered at their fate, For they went to Chicago and never returned to Humboldt gate. Some would have you believe that they have been lost these years But I’ve reasons to know and believe they joined! the Racketeers.” “Two more figures, I remember, the Bowrins, oh my yes, Ruth has married ‘Lindy,’ or I will miss my guess. But poor old Ralph has gone straight to the dogs, He’s a wealthy kennel keeper at his lodge called the Logs.” “Schmith, ah his lungs and wind that boy has sold, He went east and took the blindfold test for Lucky and Old Gold. And Katie you say? she too has from here fled, For she demonstrates henna guaranteed to turn hair red.” “Specs? do you mean Burhans? of course I am so dumb, I believe he leads the orchestra, he almost was a bum. Carmen and Marion also two darned good kids, Have opened up a millinery, and now are making ‘lids.’ ” “Another girl named Robinson, achieved a brilliant start, For she has made success by her work and skill in art. Mary and Chewoowie, to more that made the break, For they have crashed the footlights and fun for all they make.” “And Kay Pierce is now enjoying richest splendor, She wed a rich man who believes in being her spender. Yearly she travels to some foreign clime, And takes along Kasy to help her spend the time.” H. C.H. S. WINNADA 1929 “And handsome big Bill Blattner, has since turned many a head, Since he’s been in the ‘Talkies’ brunettes are cut dead. Cleto and Miller, these two have known fame, For they became magicians in a sort of a mystic game.” The Stranger’s eyes grew narrow, and he muttered, “I wonder who you are.” Then she with a sudden jerk, replied, “I’m. Kibbe on the ‘STAR.’ ” The recording was finished as the writer started for the door. The Stranger cried out, “Wait! lest you forget I’m MOORE! You may list me as the one who loved his fellow men, And kept this faithful record to be recalled again.” —E. K. ’29 H.C.H.S. WINNADA p 1929 H.C.H.S. WINNADA fi� 1929 H. C. H.

After two or three weeks of wearing our clothes inside out and backwards we were invited up to the gymnasium one evening where we were made full- fledged members of the high school. A meeting of the class was called to order the Friday after initia- tion and class officers were elected. As had been the custom in past years, the first dance of the season was the Freshmen dance. With good music and good refreshments the dance was a howling success. The rest of that first year passed quickly over our heads while we were busily engaged with our studies. Upon returning to school in September we found we had 30 of our 39 members left. Elsie Kibbe left our class to join the Junior class and the other eight members found it necessary to discontinue. In our Sophomore year we were more successful in athletics than in our Freshmen year. A number of Sophomores were also represented on the honor roll. Our Sophomore Hop which was held early in the year, added one more to our list of successful dances. As all years will, our Sophomore year soon came to an end and now we were to start on our career as upperclassmen. At the beginning of the school year we started out with a bang, hav- ing three or four boys representing us in football and several names on the honor roll. Class election was held shortly the beginning of the school term and the following officers were elected: Electa Rollins............. President Mildred Backus..........Vice-President Mabel Ellison................Treasurer The Juniors gave the first dance of the year. With blue and white decorations and a snappy orchestra our dance was the most successful one staged in the gymnasium for some time. Due to the strenuous efforts of Electa Rollins and Harold Branting the Junior Class was well represented in Basketball. After Christmas vacation we elected class officers for the second semester. Harold Branting being selected as president; Glenn Lyon, vice- president; Lloyd Mullinix, treasurer, and George Miller, secretary. Ralph and Ruth Bowrin and Cleto Bengoa left us at the beginning of the second semester to join the Seniors. Our Junior year is drawing to a close and I am sure that we are all looking forward with pleasure to holding that high and mighty position as Seniors next year. —M. B. ’30 H.

Scamp- ering through the city streets came the supposedly bold, brilliant class of “31.” An abrupt halt, a sudden shattering of a blissful state of ectasy. The horrid Sophs who tried to squelch our high spirits and saucy replies. With quacking knees and side long glances, much wearier, but just as hopeful we amerged from that “Night of Horrors,” the initiation. One can’t keep a good class down, so up we came for the Freshman Glee and managed to keep one foot off the floor during the Sophomore Hop which we gave a year later. Both were successes and gave quite a boost up the social ladder. Of course such a group cannot attain much without a pilot, so Bob Gingery was elected president. History needs a few more lines so Fern Nelson as secretary recorded them. Finances were checked by Gooley Fitti. Seven pupils represented our class in the Block “W” Society. They were: Ruth McBride, Gloria Germain, Antonia Gartiez, Lois Otis, Mar- garet McFadden, Leonard Clausen and Bob Gingery. In dramatics and debating Bob Gingery, our president achieved dis- tinction. It is evident tha during his Junior and Senior years Mr. Ging- ery will command respect as an actor and debater. Talent in athletics, artistic lines and thoroughness in scholastic at- tainment characterize the oncoming Junior class of 1930. —M H ’31 Sophomore Class Roll Geneve Allen Clifford Bogart Elton Bogart Marie Bording Dorothy Carlson Leonard Clausen Lois Donovan Reeve Fagg Elverda Farnham Gooley Fetti Antonia Gartiez Gloria Germain Robert Gingery Evelyn Grandel Mae Gutches Marjorie Hearn Lois Hutchinson Felice Jaca Joaquin Jaca Edward Kane Adolpho Legarza Frank Legarza Betty Loest William Maraska Ruby McBride Ruth McBride Margaret McFadden Jeanette McEnerney Elmer Moore Fern Nelson Tom O’Carroll Lois Otis Robert Reavely Adelle Scott Madeline St. Clair G� , Class Officers—First Semester Bob Gingery..............President Fern Nelson........

WIN NAD A p 1929 FRESHMAN HISTORY ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1928, a group of green Freshmen, 15 strong, took their first steps in the quest for a larger and Digger world, to be gained through education. They cautiously entered the Humboldt County High School, afraid lest the upperclassmen catch them unawares. The boys were ordered to the auditorium on the eve of September 8. The mat was queer, but what’s worse than walking a couple of hours for home at night? The girls were initiated, “But How!” We were then all accepted as full-fledged mem- bers of the H. C. H. S. A meeting of the Freshmen class was soon held and class officers were elected. Miss Moore was elected class advisor. Jack St. Clair was chosen to act as president and Adele Robinson as vice-president. Ellen Nickols was elected class secretary and Tommy Pedroli, treasurer. Nine more Frosh joined our ranks on January 29, making the class total 22. Two of our former members had ceased to attend. The night of February 9 we had the third class dance of the term. The Frosh “Glee” was a “howling” success, as music and refreshments wer deemed “0. K.” Our opinions are now respected, due to our thoughtful obedience of all upperclassmen’s demands. We are now eagerly anticipating another term in this wonderful “School of Opportunities.” 5=b H. C. H. S.

Most of this credit must be given to our two young coaches—Mr. Kilian and Mr. Lowry. Mr. Lowry has been with us for four years, but never as a whole has he had such a successful season as a coach. Mr. Lowry spent all of his time after school trying to put out a winning foot- ball team, basketball team and track team. On football he drilled his men to almost perfection. If a touchdown made by his team in the Sparks game had been allowed he might have won the State championship. His team was Runner Up in the State basketball tournament. In track his team always managed to take plenty of first places, but was short of material to take many seconds. lowry The girls’ basketball team coached by Mr. Kilian in the last two years came from the bottom of the teams to the top. He could put fight into his girls when they needed it. There is no doubt but that his team would have won the state title if they had had a tournament this year. In the last two years his tennis teams have won over 50 percent of their games. His girls team .played in the state finals in both doubles and singles. If H. C. H.

In defeat they are both good sportsmen. The defeats that they suffer are few and far between. We look forward to these men to keep H. C. H.

WINNADA p 1929 WITH TWENTY-TWO men out at the first of the season we made a very good showing in football. After two weeks of hard prac- tice the boys met Fallon on the local gridiron on September 29. The Mellon Pickers had lots of fight, but after the gun sounded Winnemucca was ahead 7 to 0. Welsh made the only touchdown on an off tackle smash. Harry Branting converted. On October 13, the squad motored to Lovelock to meet their old football rivals. The ball staying near the center of the field during the whol game, the contest ended nothing to nothing. During institute week the boys practiced hard ev- ery afternoon for the Sparks game which we knew would be our hardest. October 20 rolled up, so we journeyed to Sparks. The game seemed in doubt all through. After making a touchdown which was not allowed the boys lost spirit for a few minutes and Sparks marched the length of the field for a touchdown. The game ended Winnemucca 0, Sparks 7. Two weeks elapsed after the Sparks game. Then the local squad met the powerful Lovelock squad for the second time this season. For the first time in the history of our school, we tore through Lovelock’s line time after time for yardage. Although the score was only 7 to 0, it did not indicate how well our boys did play. Thus ended the most successful football season Humboldt Hi has enjoyed. Winnemucca won two games, tied one, and lost one. captain elect _L. S. ’29 H. BRANTING CAPTAIN C. BRANTING 31 H.C.H.S.

C.H.S. «fij WINNADA p 1929 ON DECEMBER 3, Coach “AI” Lowry called the first regular basketball practice. Between 15 and 20 turned out. A week later the interclass basketball championship was held. It was won for the fourth straight time by the Senior class. In practice games we defeated the town team and the Paradise Valley team. The second team defeated Austin high team 23 to 6. On January 5 we played our first regular season game with Wells, we dropped this game 25-23, partly due to the fact that the second team started and due to over confidence. On the same night following this game the town team played the Philips University of Enid, Okla. Due to the fact that they were too much for the! town team the high school team played most of the last half, the high school scored 9 points while the Philips team scored 11. This was no doubt the best game we turned out during the season. The next weekend we played Lovelock on Friday. We won 33-20. It was the typical Winnemucca-Lovelock. On Saturday we played Elko, the game was plenty fast and rough, we again won 22-14. On January 16 we left on an invasion of the western part of the state. On the night of the seventeenth we took Fallon to the tune of 22-12. On the eighteenth we took a fast game from Sparks, 17-12. And as a good finish, the next night we took Reno to the Cleaners, 29-10. Thus ending the most successful invasion that a Blue and Gold team had ever made into this territory. After the Western trip a bad case of over confidence set in and on the twenty-third we played Battle Mountain. The score at the end of the first half was Battle Mountain 17, Winnemucca 7. “Al” had a good remedy which he applied at half-time. The final score was Winnemucca 38, Battle Mountain 18. 4o H.C.H.S. WINNADA p� 1929 We dropped a fast game to Reno on January 31, playing two extra periods. The score was Reno 20, Winnemucca 18. The Wilson Cubs, a Reno team inflicted the second defeat of the weekend. It was a fast game, the superior shooting gave them the game 36-10. The Carlin game on February 8 was an offensive game with very little defense being played on our part. But with Laucerica and Schmith hitting the basket we had little trouble. The final score being 53-19. On February 9 we played one of our best defensive games. In first quarter with Laucerica going full stride we ran up a score of nine to one. In second quarter Laucerica was put out by personal fouls thus putting Winnemucca on defense. We managed to win from Lovelock 19 The Eastern invasion started on February 15, when we met and de- feated Carlin 40 to 19. Playing one of the hardest games of the season we evened the count with Wells with a score of 30 to 23. The third game of the trip was one of the hardest, fastest and roughest of the season and probably one of the most exciting. The final score was Winnemucca 34, Elko 25. Fallon played here on February 22. We had little trouble in defeat- ing them 25 to 17. On the twenty-third we had trouble in taking Battle Mountain, but finally beat them 19 to 9. At the District tournament on March 2 at Elko we won from Eureka 50 to 7, thus qualifying for the state tournament. In the state tournament we battled our way to the finals. Defeating Dayton 20 to 13 in a slow game. In the semi-finals we played Reno, de- feating them 19 to 17. It was our toughest game of the season. Reno used plenty of substitutes to wear us down. In the finals Tonopah de- feated us for the championship. The game with the fact that we lost Schmith in the first half on personal fouls spelled our doom. Backed to the limit by the town people we left for the National In- terscholastic basketball tournament at Chicago. In the first game we played Wheeler, Miss., they defeated us in a . ragged1 game 39 to 9. The boys played poor basketball. It might have been caused by the 2500 mile ride as we had no chance to work out. Playing one of the best games of our career we defeated a fast team from Portsmouth, New Hampshire 33 to 22. All the boys played high grade basketball with Harry Branting, captain-elect, outshining the rest. In our third game we played Columbia, South Carolina, they de- feated us by the score of 42 to 13. The- game was plenty fast and those boys from the South could surely play ball. Thus we completed the most successful basketball season in the his- try of H. C. H. S. A quick glance at our record will show that we were runners up at the state tournament. Laucerica made both all-state and all-tournament teams. Schmith made all tournament, Welsh and Giroux made honorable mention on either state or all tournament teams. We won the only game ever won by a Nevada team at the Chicago tourna- ment.

The Seniors did not lose a game and were awarded the penant for being champs. The first regular game was in Lovelock. Our girls played good ball for the first game of the year. Rollins was the only forward that could hit the hoop and she made every point. The final score was Winnemucca 18, Lovelock 23. On January 14 the girls journeyed to Fallon. They remembered the time that Fallon defeated them 107 to 2. At half time with Rollins and McBride hitting the hoop regularly, the score was 11 up. O’Carroil at guard wor- ried the Fallon forwards so that they could hardly hit the hoop. The second half started with first one team and captain then the other in the lead. Our girls went down to defeat rollins fighting. They lost 38 to 29. The next night they played Sparks with Ruby McBride and Gartiez doing all the heavy work. We lost again 34 to 21. At last our luck changed and on January 16 we defeated the strong Reno team 26 to 27, Winnemucca being in the lead during the whole game. Germain, Carlson and Robinson starred. Again the girls were destined to win. Fighting hard they de- feated Battle Mountain here to the tone of 22 to 42. Otis and Rollins played like four-year veterans. Our rivals from Lovelock journey up to Winnemucca February 2, hoping to take home the “bacon” as they did the first game of the season. With Otis and O’Carroll as guards, our girls easily out- classed Lovelock. We won with a score of 20 to 33. This was the best game of the season. The last game of the year was played on February 9 at Battle Mountain. Our girls won easily with Gartiez and Ruth McBride hitting their stride. The final score was Winne- mucca 33, Fighting Hill 23. During the season we won four games and lost the first three hoodoos three. With only one girl graduating, we expect to have another good team next year. —L. S. ’29 -f f- H. C.H.S.

It was a late start as they only had a week to practice before the interclass meet. The Seniors won this meet with the Juniors a close second. The Sophomores were third and Frosh last. On April 27 Elko sent her track team to Winne- mucca. Winnemucca tried hard, but Elko took home the trophy donated by Mr. Reinhart. McMurtrey of Elko took 21 of his team’s 76 points. Walts of Winnemucca took 20 points to be second highest individual scorer. The boys went to Elko the next weekend. In a five cornered meet they came out second best. Our boys tried hard but Elko has one of the best dual teams in the state. Nineteen of the 46 medals awarded were given to our boys. They took seven first places with Elko taking the same number.

All assays, that are submitted are put on file and kept for references of our pioneer state. « 9 CLUBS THIS YEAR several clubs were started so as to give the boys and girl a recreation on Friday from their studies. These clubs were of great interest to all who belong to them. During the year these clubs were the means of entertaining the other clubs and instructors on Friday afternoon. The clubs are as follows: Dramatic Club This club is under the supervision of Mrs. Hudson. Plays have been studied and members have been selected for parts. During the year plays will be put on in the assembly by the members of the Dramatic Club. Travel Club This club is in charge of Miss Johnson. Places of great interest to travelers are discussed. Journeys are taken to many lands by the mem- bers of the clubs. The assembly will probably have a chance to go on one of these journeys on some Friday afternoon. Discussion Club Miss Moore is supervisor of this club. A great many questions of importance to girls only are discussed. Problems that will confront one in the future are discussed in order that one may be prepared to meet them. Science Club This has as its head Mr. Lowry. If one does not know what water is H. C.H.S. 5| WINNADA 1929 composed of or what diamonds are made of, he should belong to this club. This club will also entertain us in the assembly on a Friday after- noon. This club is sponsored by Mr. Kilian. The members who belong to this club speak the Spanish language. Those who do not know how to speak are out of luck in joining. A play was given in the assembly a while back and was enjoyed by all. It is hoped that other plays will be given. WE TOO will take leave of our school mates and friends, and in days to come will take down this book from among our treas- ured souvenirs. We will look at it and think of the good times we had in Humboldt High School. We will wonder where our old friends are; wonder if they, also, are looking at this book. The name “Winnada” was chosen by popular vote in the assembly several years ago. This name was taken from our state and town.

A great deal of patience was necessary in coaching this play, so that it could have been the success that it was. A play called “The Other One,” of the Harvard classics was pre- sented by the Public Speaking II class. This under Mrs. Hudson’s skill- ful coaching proved to be a great success. During the year, other plays will be given by the Public Speaking classes and clubs. —R. P. ’29 0=9 S=t H. C. H.S. 3 WINNADA p 1929 OUR TRIP TO CHICAGO HC. H. S. Boys’ Basketball team, by playing in the state finals and the refusal of Tonopah, the Champs, was invited to attend the National Interscholastic Basket- ball tournament at Chicago. The students raised $1,700 from the backers of our school. As an advertisement of our city the 20-30 club bought cowboy shirts for the boys. Levi-Straus overalls were worn by all the team; these were given to them by Reinhart Company. The rest of the regalia was loaned by the townspeople. On the night cf March 27, a banquet was given by the 20-30 club for the boys. After eating they marched down the street and then went to the American Theater where they were invited by Mr. Oastler to attend a show. At 2:45 a.m. the next morning the boys boarded the Western Pacific train number 2. At various places along the road they had their pictures taken and also took setting up exercises. At Salida, Colorado they ran around a park twice. A stop was made at Denver for four hours. The entertainment planned fell through as the dates were mixed. The agent took the team to the Y. M. C. A. to see a basketball game. Easter morning while at Omaha the team attended Easter Service. Mr. Lyon, the manager, had seen to this earlier in the morning. As the boys were getting off the train in Chicago two speed cops met them and escorted them out to the U. of C. One of them led the procession and the others brought up the rear. The rate of speed was as great as 60 miles an hour down the water front. Suites were secured at the Windermere West Hotel. The accommodations at this hotel which was six blocks from the university were very good. Meals were served at the Gow house cf the university and games were also played there. Winnemucca played the second game of the tournament, but lost to Wheeler, Miss. Our second was won from Portsmouth, N. H„ and our third was lest to Columbia, S. C. If we could have defeated Columbia, we would have brought home one of the eight trophies. While in Chicago the team visited the Tribune building. At the top of this building is an observatory. It is 37 stories high. From here one can get a good view of Chicago and the Chicago river. The Western Pacific entertained the boys royally. Dinner was served at the Traffic club to which all the big officials of the different railroads belong. It is estimated that this one feed cost $75. They also got passes for a ride through the underground railroad. This railroad runs under every business street in the heart of Chicago. It also runs under the Chicago river and is about five stories under ground. Chicago was also viewed from a fourteen-passenger airplane, which had some ac- commodations that a train has. By electric trains it took 12 minutes to go down town from our hotel, a distance of nine miles with three stops. Many more interesting incidents that happened in Chicago could be related but for every beginning there must be an end. It is regrettable that there are no pictures avail- able of the group which went to Chicago. The trip was “one in a lifetime” and also edu- cational. We saw many things on that trip that we have often heard of but never had seen. The boys became acquainted with people from various parts of the United States. Those who made the trip were David Giroux, Stanley Welsh, Don Laucsrica, Lester Schmith, Harry Branting, Charles Branting, Ted Moore, Robert Gingery, LeRoy Brophy, A1 Lowry and Arthur Lyon. They all had a good time and had some wonderful exper- iences. —T. M. ’29 H. C. H. S.

Their horses tied at the hitchin’ post To the borded the ground they’d' roast, There they’d meet with “Two Gun Bill” And split the dough on the “X” crossed hill Then for a while they’d have to split Each wih his own dough, tsaddle, horse, bit, But in three months more, Moon was so told They’d get a few more sachels full of gold. Now they set in the hard woodin’ seats Watchin’ the clock make its steady beats, And counting each, the loner momenst until They’ll meet again on the “X” crossed hill. «=5 Humboldt Hi (By Robert Gingery) H—Stands for HONOR So vivid and high U—Stands for UNION May ours never die M—Stands for MOUNTAIN Where the “W” sets free B—Stands for BROKEN Mav our spirits never be O—Stands for the ZERO That Lovelock holds so sad L—Stands for LOVELOCK’S Which makes us fierhtin’ mad D—Stands for the DAYS Spent in this rush of madness T—Stands for a TIME Of honor and of gladness Together for a school They stand all in one Like sister and brother They, for each others fun.

Many the deeds that he has done, Greatest—our freedom from England won. Chosen from bondage to release— To bring us happiness, lasting peace. Flowers bloom at his place of birth, A vine twines around the sacred earth. When righteous war and battle sound— For freedom were heard the world around. He led us safely; brought war to cease; Guided us soundly through years of peace. And now our land with freedom blest, Has laid her father here to rest. “Lovers of Liberty” lest w7e forget, Let’s pause a moment in due regret. “Man Is a Fool” (By Fred Walts) The air is sharp Cold and clear, The wind is gusty Howls with fear. The sun is shining Heats us not, We curse cold weather Avails us naught. When it is cold, Should be hot, Man is a fool Should be shot, e «=5 Dreaming (By Robert Gingery) When the silvery moon is rising And the stars go floating by, Give a little thought to me And our times in Humboldt Hi. Even though the days be weary And fulla’ tears and regrets, Give a thought to all of us For a good pal can’t forget. We’ve struggled- side by side We’ve shared each others fun, Now we thinh of each other And the glorious victories won. Now our dream is all over And we’ve grown gray and old. But it brings pleasant memories. as H. C. H.S. WINNADA p 1929 H. C.H.S. WINNADA p 1929 H. C. H. S. TROPHIES THE TROPHY cabinet donated to the school by the class of ’26 has very little available space. During the last two years we have won ten trophies. Our cabinet is now composed of sixteen cups, two shields, two penants and one basketball. The two penants were won by the Senior boys’ and girls’ basketball teams this year. The Seniors were supreme in interclass basketball for four years. Then there are other interclass trophies won by different classes before we entered H. C. H. S. Winnemucca won a shild at the Elko interscholastic track meet last year. Our team is the only one except a team from Elko that has ever returned victor. Three tennis trophies are in our cabinet. One of them is a Spalding trophy presented to the state camps in ’19, ’20, and ’21. The tennis tro- phy given by Arthur Lyon in ’28 is one of the two outstanding trophies. The Reinhart dual track trophy is a mate to the Lyon trophy. They both stand about 15 inches. Both were won last spring. We also have our share of state trophies. Our girls’ basketball team won the championship in ’16, T7, ’18, ’19. They were unbeatable. They lost in ’20 by one point to Fallon. Two state track troohies are kept in our cabinet. One of these was won in 1922. Again in 1928 our boys showed themselves supreme. Four state records are held by them. This is more than any other school in the state holds. Also in ’28 we won the relay cup for the first time. Our team was composed of Jones, Welsh, Bankofier and Martin. If they had not drawn the outside lane they might have broken the state record. The boys have never won the state championship in basketball but in ’29 they played in the finals. The first time a team from Winnemucca has ever come through. They lost the finals but brought home the Runner Up Cup. Because of the boys good showing in basketball they were sent to Chicago to compete in the National Basketball tournament. While there they did what no other Nevada team has ever done. They defeated an- other team, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. According to the rules of the tournament the winning team is allowed to bring home the basketball. Not only in athletics are we represented by trophies, but also in oratory. We have a district and a state trophy in this line of activities. Now, fellow students, is not the time to stop filling our cabinets. See if in the next tw7o years, we can double our number of trophies. Past, present and future students of H. C. H. S. we are justly oroud of you and your honors. —T. M. ’29 4 7 H. C. H.S.
