WINNADA Junior Record Our career as members of the H. C. H. S. Student Body started September 6th, 1932, when we braved the amused glances and superior arts of the upper classmen and silently did the hesita- tion step up the walk and in the building. To the students and Faculty we probably looked green, but we ourselves felt greener and undoubtedly acted like the greenest bunch of freshies that ever tottered on the brink of initiation. During the following few weeks we bravely underwent all the necessary torture inflicted upon us by the haughty upper classmen, in our Sophomore year we found great delight in administering upon the incoming Freshmen much the same punishment which we ourselves had undergone at the hands of upperclassmen. The rest of that first year passed quickly over our heads while we were busily engaged in our studies. On September 5th, 1933, we feli heir to the name of Sophomore. This year was even more eventful than our first year, ihe representation in Basketball was indeed high, and two of the boys, Frank Bengochea and Ray Jones received Basketball letters. Football and Track were also well represented and we felt duly honored to have Ray Jones receive a Football and Track letter, and Frank Bengochea and Leland Backus receive Track letters. Our Sophomore Hop was considered one of the biggest novelties of the year. The outcome of the Hop proved that we had not lost our reputation as good entertainers. A number of Sophomores were also represented on the honor roll: Jean Morall, Dolores Ast and Jill Arant. Our Sophomore year since it was more eventful than our Scrub year soon came to an end, and now we were to start on our career as U pperclassmen. At the beginning of the school year we started out with a bang. With six of the boys having received Football letters, Leland Backus, Frank Bengochea, Ray Jones, Donald Erskine, Eugene Quigley and Bob Cash. Ray Jones, Frank Bengochea, Leland Backus were three of the outstand- ing main string players, the first two of whom received letters, represented the Junior Class in Basketball. Track, with its large attendance, proved to be a successful feature in scholastic events for the Junior Class. We also had the opportunity of winning the contest for the most tickets sold for the Spring Play, which was given during the earlier part of the year. Mrs. Hudson's untiring efforts reached its height of success in coaching her students for debating. Two Junior debaters, Vern Schoenfeld and Sidney Mattson, won recognition in Interscholastic contests. The second team comprised of Donald Erskine, Harold Deems and Eugene Quigley, also Junior members, have proven themselves worthy of commendations. Marianne Breier, Senior member, and Vern Schoenfeld, Junior member, were chosen as the outstanding debaters who entered the State Debating contest which was held in Reno. A Short Story contest was held in which the winner's story was published in the Winnada. Louis Peraldo was one of three who received recognition, the other two being Seniors. A magic carpet was the clever theme of our most successful Junior Prom which was held December 8th, 1934. One of the most looked forward to events of the season is our Junior Stunt Show. Clever costumes, dancing, singing and acting, constitute the major portion of this delightful show. Under the direction of Miss Mullen it proved a big financial success as well as a social success. The annual Junior-Senior Banquet, given by the Juniors for the graduating Seniors, represented a farewell gathering, through which we strove to bid them farewell and send them out into the world with our best wishes, realizing that we shall join them in the near future in their strivings to reach the goal of success. Now, we the class of '36, are looking forward to the next school term, our Senior Year. We hope to do as much or more than we have yet accomplished that we might leave H. C. H. S. a record of which such a school is worthy. Farewell, lowly Juniors, we re mighty Seniors now. OFFICERS —Louis Peraldo, ‘36 First Semester Second Semester Vern Schoenfeld . . President . . . .
