H. C.H.S. 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
