Page 15 rncOTaac;tzz.J..-.i_.........—_.jxirp Senior History THE Class of ’32 entered the Humboldt County High School in September, 1928, with fifteen members. We, of course took our turn at the back door, and were duly initiated. After the ordeal of initiation we settled down to our regular school work. The next fall we entered school as Sophomores and felt very important beside the lowly Frosh.” By the end of our Sophomore year we were well represented in the Block W” Society by Adele Robinson, Alice Elliott, David Bell, Frank Legarza, Leonard Clausen, and Kenneth Nelson. Miss Ada Moore was our class advisor that year, and Miss Isabel Loring was elected class advisor at the beginning of our Junior year. Jack St. Clair, Thomas Pedroli, Elmer Moore, Robert Gingery, and David Bell (captain) represented us in basketball during our Junior year. Four were first string players, while Jack St. Clair was an able substitute. The Junior Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet were a great success, thus ending our Junior year. We seemed rather athletically inclined during our Senior year. When football practice was called five boys responded while seven reported for basketball. David Bell earned the distinction of being captain of both teams. Two girls and three- boys turned out for fall tennis, namely, Alice Elliott, Opal Harvey, Kenneth Nelson, Merle Snider, and Jack St. Clair. Robert Gingery served as president of the student body for the first semester, while Alice Elliott was secretary, and Leonard Clausen held down the office of treasurer. We have won two pennants so far this year. One for the Winnada sales and one for the interclass basketball championship. We are well represented in the Block W” Society, the G. A. A. and other organizations of the school. Thomas Pedroli and Benerita Jaca served as presidents of the Block W” and G. A. A. respectively the first semester. Jack St. Clair served as editor of the Winnonian” with Kenneth Nelson as his assistant the first semester, while Alice Elliott was elected assistant editor for the second semester. We are looking forward with much eagerness and joy to the Senior Ball and graduation. Although we are eager to graduate and to get out into the world, we feel a great sadness in leaving the school that fostered the best four years of our life. We started the second semester off with a Bang” by placing four Seniors in student body offices, namely, Jack St. Clair, president; Leonard Clausen, vice-president; Opal Harvey, secretary; and Norman Smith, athletic manager. The Junior-Senior banquet, the Senior cut-day, and the Senior Ball were all a great success. And now we are looking toward graduation with joy, yet we are sorry that we cannot spend another happy year or two in the good old H. C. H. S. CLASS OFFICERS Jack St. Clair ..... President .....

We were all trembling as we glanced furtively up and down the halls in terror of those high and mighty beings called Seniors.” None of us, however, were injured by the dreaded initiation. Not long after initiation we settled down to work. Several of the boys took part. in athletics, and John Echave earned the title of a three-letter Freshman. As Sophomores we elected Albert Lowry as class advisor. Later, we gave the Sophomore Hop which was a roaring success. Two pennants hang in the study hall which show our sales ability. John Echave, Robert Gingery, and Bob Swan proved our basketball spirit by making letters. Echave, Bankofier, Morrison, and Swan also made track letters. We now bear the name of Junior” which, after all, is not as won- derful as is generally supposed. After initiating the Freshmen, upon whom we take our revenge for what had been done to us in the past, we started upon the regular routine. In football, Robert Morrison, Ernest Damon, Fay Bybee, John Echave, Joseph Sonzogni, and James Gayer played on the main string and all made their letters. John Echave also made his letter in basketball. The Junior Acts” of which there were several given turned out to be very successful. The Junior-Senior banquet, which was followed by the Junior Prom, was also a huge success. The year ended with everybody happy in the anticipation of being a Senior next school year.—J. G.

In the Field Day event we defeated the Frosh by an overwhelming score. The Soph Hop, which was a success socially as well as financially, was considered one of the best dances of the year. In the Winnada Contest we held our place in the order of classes. We proved our ability as good salesmen in winning the tickets sales contest for the fall play, The Nut Farm.” We feel worthy of the green and white banner which hangs in the study hall. The first two months of the second semester were uneventfull with an abundance of hard work. Our Soph Debating team met an under- classmen team from Fallon during the latter part of March, and defeated them by a two to one decision. The Junior acts were thoroughly enjoyed by all members of the Soph class, and the Junior Prom was also greeted with favor. We all looked forward to the Senior Ball and graduation, not only as the end of the school year, but also as the end of our reign as Sophomores. —D. C., ’34. CLASS OFFICERS . President .

For a few weeks we were kept in suspense as to what our fate would be on Field Day. When the dreadful day arrived, it found a class of Freshmen dressed to look more like clowns than school children. Dressed in queer looking clothes, hair done up and faces painted, we went forward gallantly to compete against the Sophomores, but the Sophomores triumphed. During the year we joined with a will in most of the school activities. The freshmen that joined the Debating Club were Dick Morrall, Bill Brackett, Sherman Reynolds, Dan McNinch, Mae Hill and Bettye Herline. Those who went out for basketball were Bill Brackett, Herbert Bosch, John Prida, Dick Morrall, Eugene Goodwin, Frank Gavica, Eugene Quigley and Alvin Guthrie. Those who repesented our class in football were Bill Brackett, Frank Gavica, Dick Morrall, Eugene Goodwin, Leroy Leach, Henry Wells, and Eugene Quigley. We feel that after joining in all of the activities that we are full fledged members of the High School. When June comes we all hope that it will bring its reward and that we will become Sophomores. —B. Herline, ’3 5. First Semester Gertrude Polander Doris Damon Ruth Egoscue . Richard Morrall .

He was sharpening his beloved knife, as was his favorite pastime. Easy well fitted his name. The rest of the Bar O waddies had been trying to make him angry for two years but had never succeeded. Whatever was said Easy took it with a broad grin. All of the boys liked Easy but anyone of them would have gladly taken a beating or would have lost a month’s pay to see him fight. Big Jake, the owner of the Bar O, bellowed: Come on, Easy, we’re ready to go.” Easy stalked out of the bunk house, climbed leisurely on his sleepy roan horse. By the time Easy had squared himself around in the saddle the other boys were through the gate. Easy put his horse to a trot, and was soon riding beside the lumbering mess wagon. The whole Bar O crew was headed for Canyon Creek to fence in six thousand acres grazing land. Big Ike had secured a forty-year grazing permit on this territory. Canyon Creek was a hunting ground for the Indians. There were seventeen springs around which lived innumerable sagehens. The springs ran together, forming a creek in which big native trout throve. The banks of the creek were lined with cottonwoods, furnishing an ideal camping ground and plenty of fuel. The uppermost part of the slopes were covered with scrub mahogany, which was thickly populated with deer and quail, an Indian’s paradise. As the canyon was twenty-four miles from the home ranch, it took the greater part of the day to reach the desired spot, pitch camp, and eat the meal prepared by Sing, the Chinese cook. Right after chuck the boys sat around the fire, talking and joking about the work all cow punchers hate, that of making fence. Not long after sundown, three Indians came to their camp with fish, venison, and sagehen, to trade for sugar, bacon, coffee, or tobacco. The immobile faces of the Indians showed nothing but friendliness. However, they bent sidelong glances at the wagons loaded with axes, picks, shovels, post-hole diggers, and barbed wire. After some trading had been done the Indians took their silent leave and the tired cowboys rolled into their blankets. Shortly before sunrise the next morning everyone was rudely awakened by the cook, who was drumming on the dishpan with a iarge spoon. The aroma of coffee and bacon assailed the nostrils of the men as they dressed hastily in the crisp mountain air. After washing their faces in cold spring water they ate ravenously of bacon, eggs, and hot cakes. After eating, all of the men except Sing, set out to build fence. It would take nearly three months to fence in the six thousand acres of land. Big Ike assigned the work to different men; Easy, Sam, Long, a short, dark puncher; Bill Black, a tall, lanky fellow; and John Sims, a big blond rannie, were to dig post-holes, the hardest and most disliked part of the work. Hall Johnson, the big Swede, Bing Jones, a fat flunky, and Harvey Smith were to stretch wire; Jack Caldwell, a tenderfoot, was put to driving staples; and Big Ike himself was to drive the wagon and to help otherwise when needed. The first day they all cursed and swore a great deal for they weren’t used to that kind of labor. Bing puffed and blew so hard, and Johnson grunted so much that between the two it sounded like a hungry managerie. That night they found that they had done more work than they had expected. All hands laughed and joked in the anticipation of finishing quite soon.

After a few minutes of working, Big Ike noticed the flitting forms of Indians, worming in and out among the trees. Upon a careful scrutiny out of the corner of his eye, Ike noticed that the Indians were all heavily armed, and that they peered unceasingly in the direction of the fence builders. Under the pretense of inspecting the work, Ike warned the punchers of the danger and told them that if any of them didn’t want to take the risk they could return to the chuck wagon. All of them, however, expressed their desire to stay to the end. After an hour or so Black Hawk, the big Indian chief, came out of the trees and showed his desire to speak with the white boss. As soon as all of the punchers had crowded around, Black Hawk said: This Indian hunting ground. No wantum white man makum fence!” Big Ike told the chief that white man had permit from big boss in Washington. Black Hawk scowled and said: Indian no likum big boss permit; white man take all Indian hunting ground; make Indian hungry, white man better stop makum fence.” With this the Indian stalked off into the trees. The Bar O waddies went right on with their fence building. Shortly after the boys had eaten their lunch and resumed work, a warning shot from the woods bored a hole in Easy’s hat, and another imbedded itself in the wagon seat just below Big Ike. The cowboys were forced to return to camp for they had not brought their guns along to fix the fence. On the following morning the Bar O force went back to fence building, this time with their guns tied down, and rifles near at hand; all except Easy who just shoved his gun into his holster and left his rifle in the wagon. Before the sun was up the Indians gave their last warning by shooting the team pulling the wagon. Someone made the mistake of firing a hasty shot at one of the shadow forms among the trees. For his pains he received a bullet in the fleshy part of his leg. The flighty punchers would not stand for this, so in reply they sent a rally of shots into the trees which drew several loud grunts and a return fire. The fight was on. The punchers hadn’t a chance in the open so they made a run for their horses and beat a hasty retreat down the hillside. Fifty heavily armed Indians charged after them, venting their skill and shrill war cries as they rode. A stray shot hit John in the shoulder, knocking him from his horse. Hall and Harvey who were behind him, hastily left their horses and lifted him onto his horse amid his protests that they should go and let him die. A few yards from the cowpuchers stood an old mine which they entered. There they found the cook with two butcher knives and a large ladle. The Indians who were close upon them dropped behind nearby trees and continued fire. A slug ricocheted off the side of the tunnel and striking Sam along side of the head putting him out of the play; another hit Bill in the side. Big Ike received a broken wrist, thus leaving the Bar O in a sad plight. All of a sudden Easy, who had not been participating in the fight, grunted and reached in his pocket, drawing out his shattered knife, which had saved him a broken leg. With a cry of rage Easy bounded out of the tunnel and down the dump, firing as he went. The other boys, fearing that he would be killed, rushed after him, calling to him to come back. When the Indians saw the huge man lunging down the dump, killing one of their men at every shot, they became uneasy. When they saw the rest of the Bar O rushing after Easy, yelling madly, the Indians fled over the hill, leaving their ponies and twelve dead behind them. When the rest of the boys caught up with and quieted Easy they looked at him with astonishment written on their faces, as Easy explained with a foolish grin: The dern Redskins broke my knife.” = ca n; PDtJPlJppa: Pioneers By Jack St. Clair IS The pioneers were husky, Braved many dangers, too; The Indian bands were many, The pioneers were few. At every turn was hardship, Hunger and thirst prevailed. Daunted by nothing were they, Their courage never failed. Such men could but create A land where freedom reigns, A land of courageous souls, No hand of wealth restrains. jpODH st«... i v s Row One— FENTON RAPP THOMAS PEDROLI JOHN ECHAVE THOMAS O’CARROLL ELMER MILLER Row Two— KENNETH EDMUNDS ROBERT MORRISON LEONARD CLAUSEN ROBERT GINGERY Row Four— JOHN MESSENGER HENRY WELLS EUGENE GODWIN JAMES GAYER PERRY CARLSON FAY BYBEE n V V Row Three— COACH LOWRY JOSEPH SONZOGNI MAURICE WOOTAN ERNEST EUGENE QUIGLEY DAVID BELL CHARLES GARTEIZ DAMON I Football football schedule was limited, as usual, due to our great distance from schools with football teams. We played two games with Lovelocks, and one with Sparks. We lost one, tied one, and won one. The scores are as follows: Lovelocks, 6, Win- nemucca, 6; Lovelocks, 18, Winnemucca, 0; Sparks, 12, Winnemucca, 20. I In addition to these three games, we played a game with-the Industrial School. This was a practice game and all the boys had a chance to play. We won it, 38-19. We finished our season at Sparks with a rather brilliant victory, then went to the University of Nevada to witness the game and home-coming celebration. This was a pleasant way to end a rather uninteresting season. We hope to have a longer schedule next fall, and we hope that we may have a . Page 28 $35=« + WINNADA + Basketball fl A T the close of the football season Coach Lowry called a meeting of all basketball aspirants and succeeded in getting a large turn- out. After a few weeks of practice a number of men were selected to represent A” squad, Coach Flanders taking the rest into the B” squad. After two months of hard practice we met Lovelock on the home floor and defeated them to the tune of 19 to 8. This was a good game and was thoroughly enjoyed. On the following week-end we invaded the eastern part of the zone to play Carlin and Elko. The Carlin game was rather ragged and due to over-confidence we came out on the small end of a 31 to 23 score. On the following night the boys proved their ability by defeating Elko by a 24 to 13 score. On January 30, we took a trip to Lovelock and were taken into camp in the last few minutes of play to a score of 20 to 15; on the home floor we redeemed ourselves by a defeat to Carlin of 58 to 21. On February 3, the Battle Mountain lads came down and were easily taken by the reserves by a score of 38 to 8. Our territory was invaded the following week by Sparks but they found us waiting for them and went home with a 3 5 to 18 defeat on their hands. On February 13, we took Elko over by a 33 to 13 score. On February 19 and 20 the boys traveled westward and played Reno and Sparks, respectively, losing in Reno, 23 to 17, and winning in Sparks, 26 to 21. The following week-end Reno paid us a visit and defeated us again, 28 to 31. This was a good game and the fans enjoyed it. On March 4 and 5 we went to Elko to participate in the District Tournament in order to determine the entries for the State meet as well as the zone championship. We defeated Montello, 57 to 4, and Carlin, 42 to 30, on March 4, which put us into the finals with Wells. On the following night we defeated Wells, 23 to 10, making our entry certain as well as zone champions. We received a nice trophy for our efforts. COACH LOWRY ■: f- E 11 11 On the 10th of March we took a trip down to Reno to try our luck at winning state honors. On this day we defeated Virginia City, 21 to 15, but on the following night we were defeated in a bad game by Tonopah, 20 to 8, which put us out of the running and ended our season of basketball.

Thirteen games were scheduled, but one with the Elko B” team was forfeited by Elko. The midgets were coached by Mr. Flanders. Several promising players were developed who will probably fill the gaps in the first squad next year. Two trips were taken by the midgets. The first one to Lovelock where we were defeated, 15-16. On the Elko trip we emerged victorious over the Industrial School, 3 5-18. The other ten games were played at home. We defeated Lovelock, 20-17, and were in turn defeated by the town team, 27-7.

The title for the interclass supremacy narrowed down to the Sophomores and Juniors. The final scores were, Seniors, 10 1-3; Juniors, 62 1-3; Sophs, 48 1-3; Frosh, 5. In a dual meet with Elko, Elko was declared the winner by the close score of 63 3-4 to 5 8 1-4. The following week Winenmucca won an easy victory over Love- lock by a score of 92 2-3 to 33 1-3. In the Elko interscholastic meet held the latter part.of April, Winnemucca managed to take third place in the eastern zone. On May 11th Winnemucca took 8th place at the State meet in Reno. The enrollment for the 1932 season was a little larger than that of last year. Several Frosh seem to be promising tracksters. The track team suffered the loss of Bankofier, Swan, and Bell. The lettermen who remained to lead the track team were Nelson, Echave and Gingery. Three meets were scheduled for the 1932 season. The Elko interscholastic meet which has been held for some years has been discontinued this year. The meets scheduled were: Interclass meet, April 7th and 8th; Lovelock, at Win- nemucca, April 23; Elko, at Elko, April 30; State meet, at Reno, May 14. —W.

Page 33 MISS LORING Girls’ Athletics VY 7HEN Miss Loring announced volley ball the first of the semester ’ ’ forty-five girls reported. The girls took much interest in the interclass games which proved to be very amusing. A new style of gymnastics was added when a tumbling team, consisting of about twenty-five girls, started on group and individual stunts. Another new feature was a drill team. Twenty of the most capable girls were chosen out of a group of thirty-eight to make up this team. The drills were given at the basketball games. Miss Loring announced that basketball would start right after the varsity team in volley ball was chosen. The other sports which the girls expect to take up are track, baseball and tennis. ■Pauline Backus, ’34. rrmejogad — 33= =. - Girls’ Athletic Association Row r e V.

C. H. S. All the girls were very enthusiastic and entered the work with the proper spirit, with a good drill team as the result. Several drills were learned during the season. After many weeks of coaching, organizing, and hard work, the team entertained first with a drill given on Friday, February 5 th, at the Winnemucca- Sparks basketball game. Next the team performed at the Eagles banquet on February 15 th, at the Civic Club, March 4th, and at the Masonic banquet March 5 th. This last performance ended activities for the season. The never-ceasing efforts and good advice of Miss Loring have greatly aided in the team’s success. The girl’s were greatly helped by this team work, and hope that more girls will be able to participate in next year’s activities. Page 36 nnpm t T “The Nut Farm” UNDER the able direction of Miss Isabel Loring, the Nut Farm,” a three- act school play was presented to a large audience on November 21. The play centered around the Brent home in Hollywood. Marian Erskine vividly portrayed the difficult role of Mrs. Barton, the mother, while her son, Fay Bybee, a likeable youth, had a brand of humor which couldn’t be understood by the family. Vera Bullis as Helen Brent proved herself a beautiful young actress who was easily caught in the hands of swindlers. Jack St. Clair, as Robert Brent, Helen’s husband, was madly in love with his wife, and let her lead him into investing his fortune in a worthless picture, yet finally comes out on top. Ernest Damon, as Ezra Sliscomb, gave a good many laughs to the audience. Pauline Backus, his beautiful daughter was the inspiration for young Willie Barton, Norman Smith, was Harold Van Horton, a good looking worthless actor. Thomas Pedroli, as the motion picture director, and Hamilton L. Holland made a fine pair of crooks. Fenton Rapp, as J. Clarence Biddeford, the playwrite, set many girl’s heart to beating. Eileen O’Carroll, as Hilda, proved her worth as a maid. F. R., ’32. “Polishing Papa” ‘ 'POLISHING PAPA” was presented in May by the Senior Class. The play was under the direction of Miss Loring, and was a howling success. Smith’s sausages are well-known, but not the humorous troubles that he has at home with his children. Sausage Smith, Robert Gingery, is altogether too ready to amble around minus teeth, shoes, necktie and grammar, and his son, Arthur, (Elmer Moore), and his daughter, Jane, (Alice Elliot), try to polish his grammar, appearance and table manners, but Smith is a pepper papa, and when he becomes resentful plenty of action follows. Pauline Backus, as Rose Parker, keeps poor Arthur running around in circles, Norman Smith, as the high-pressure salesman, gets everybody steamed up. Jack St. Clair, as Richard Brainard, smart young lawyer, keeps things pretty much alive until he captures Jane, using cave-man tactics. Ernest Damon, as the Dook” is finally showed up as a ship steward. Mrs. Stevens, Eileen O’Carroll, and Marie, the maid, played by Esther Staengel, and Peggy, Elsie Johnson, helped greatly to make the play one of the best in years. J. St. C„ ’32. n Page 38 J I j One Act Plays ■: : : ‘ I 'HE EXCHANGE” was a place in which Leonard Clausen, the judge, gave t foolish people some other misery in exchange for their own. Marian Erskine as the Imp enjoyed seeing Kenneth Edmunds, a poor man and Fay Bybee, a rich citizen and Eileen O’Carroll, a vain woman, become the victims of their own self-pity. Madeline St. Clair was a smart stenographer who advised Bob Morrison in Big Business” until Ernest Damon came from the Telephone Company and found him talking on a disconnected phone. Ernest Damon as a business man and Alice Elliott as his secretary were the players in While You Wait.” These two plays were presented at the Lion’s Club. They were obtained from a book of prize winning plays furnished by the Delineator contest. Early in the fall semester some members of the Public Speaking class pre- sented The Wedding.” Ernest Damon, the disinterested bride groom who couldn’t find his collar button, was almost left a bachelor by Alice Elliot, the bride. Elmer Moore and Tom Pedroli kept things lively, while Bob Morrison, the bride’s father and Madeline St. Clair, her aunt, restored peace so that the wedding could proceed. A Christmas play entitled The Drum,” was given in assembly and the Eastern Star Lodge. Marian Erskine, as Nell, was a wife who was filled with the Christmas spirit, but Jack St. Clair, as John, her husband, and Kenneth Nelson as Ted, her brother, declared it all foolishness. The appearance of Bob Morrison as the tramp, however, brought a change to the hearts of John and Ted. In Moonshine,” Fenton Rapp as the revenue officer talked Bill Jones, as Luke Hazy, out of shooting him. Jake later found out that the revenue officer was really a life-long enemy in disguise. Don’t Be Serious,” was the lesson taught by Fay Bybee, the burglar, to Marian Erskine as Sallie, who was unhappily in love. After Tom Pedroli, the policeman, and Eileen O’Carroll, the Irish maid, had failed in their search for the burglar, Jack St. Clair, returned, and Sallie won her lover back. While Kenneth Nelson, as Leo, was waiting on the Park Bench” for his sweetheart, he became quite friendly with Tom Pedroli, the policeman. The lovely lady friend arrived, but soon turned out to be Elmer Moore( as a pick- pocket who disguised himself as a girl. Junior Stunts SEVERAL one-act plays were given at the Junior Stunt Show. Alice Elliott and Elmer Moore presented a glimpse of a modern Home Sweet Home.” Don Nelson and Robert Smith composed a comedy team in A Scene from the Insane Asylum” and with Madeline St. Clair, Frances Becker, Marian Erskine, Ernest Damon and Fay Bybee, were starred in a mellerdrammer called The Villyun Still Persuder.” Page 39 30—— 30001 x t Row One— ERNEST DAMON DAN McNINCH KENNETH EDMUNDS KENNETH NELSON THOMAS PEDROLI ROBERT SMITH HENRY WELLS DONALD COOPER Row Two— MERLE SNIDER JACK ARANT JACK ST.

HUDSON, Instructor Debating Club THE Humboldt County High School Debating Club was organized this year under the direction of Mrs. Willie Hudson. There was a large turn out of debaters and many hard fought debates occurred. The purpose of this club is to develop initiative and ideal debating ability of as many as possible of the students. Ernest Damon and Jack St. Clair were chosen as the first team; Fay Bybee and Merle Snider, the Junior team; and Marian Erskine and Don Cooper, the Sophomore team. The first team and the Sophomore team met Fallon March 19, in the gymnasium of H. C. H. S. Jack St. Clair and Ernest Damon met and defeated Fallon’s first state oral team composed of Carl Dodge and Ned Kendricks. The question was: Resolved, that the present system of Chain Stores is detrimental to the best interest of our nation. Winnemucca, the affirmative side, won. Marion Erskine and Don Cooper defated a Fallon underclassmen team. The ques- tion was: Resolved, that the installment buying should be condemned. Winnemucca, the negative side was rendered the decision. Mr. Damon and Mr. St. Clair defeated Marian Erskine and Donald Cooper in the final tryouts for the State Forensic contest. They will represent the Humboldt County High School at the State Forensic Tournament, held in Reno April 7, 8, 9, 1932. —J. S. C., ’32.

Ideas derived from the Student Body Presidents’ meeting in Reno were successfully adopted. Contests which provoked enthusiasm led to the efficient sale of tickets for various activities.
