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.

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
