Senior History On September 6, 1932, we entered the Humboldt County High School to become loyal students for four years. After the Upper classmen got through with us on 'Field Day, we looked like some tribe getting ready for an Indian Warg but we bravely underwent the changes that red paint can make in. one's face and silently, if not patiently, awaited our turn to fix the next bunch of Frosh. At last we climbed to the tank of Sophomores. The Hop was well attended and was a great success for our first venture in the social world. We were represented that year in most of the sports by Ray Jones, Frank Bengochea, andi Leland Backus. When it was our turn to become juniors, we were ready to meet the dilliculties of planning for three outstanding events in the school: the Junior Prom, the Junior Stunt Show, and the junior-Senior banquet. In spite of the fact that it was hard to get most of us to pay our weekly dues faithfully, all three events were successes and repaid us in good timeq for the work we had in planning them. Mrs. Hudson trained our fellow classmates in the art of debating, and Vern Sehoenfeld won, by competition, the honor of being chosen to participate in the State Contest at Reno. Frank Bengochea, Leland Backus, Eugene Quigley, Ray Jones, Donald Erskine, and Robert Cash entered other sports and showed the rest of the classes that the juniors weren't going to be left out of the limelight. The Senior year was a busy one for us, and we worked hard to be able to have the title of that important class for nine months. Mr. Lowry was elected our class advisor and cooperated and helped us with the duties that fall to the Seniors. The boys who represented their class in sports this year were Ray Jones, Eugene Quigley, Leland Backus, Robert Cash, Donald Erskine, Don Smith, Chris Bengoa, and Elmer St. Clair. Again this year Vern Schoenfeld was chosen to go to the contest in Reno. Another debater from the Senior Class, who won recognition for himself, was Harold Deems. A new department was added to the school, and the Seniors who joined the Band were Jill Arant, Jean Morrall, Chris Bengoa, Harold Deems, Donald Erskine, Mary Louise Frink, Gertrude McEnerney, Dolores Ast, Dorothy McNeer, Mary Mentaberry, Dorothy Guthrie, Louis Peraldo, Vern Schoenfeld, James Kinney, and Don Smith. The G. A. A. Play Day was held here and the girls in our class who helped to plan it were Dorothy Guthrie, Mary Louise Frink, Jean Morrall, Gertrude McEnerney, jill Arant, Dorothy McNeer, and Dolores Ast. Those from the Class of '36 who were elected and chosen to the Winnada staff were Eugene Quigley, Jean Morrall, Gertrude McEnerney, Don Smith, Dorores Ast and Donald Erskine. When if was our turn to entertain the other students at a dance, we worked hard to make our Senior Ball as good as the other dances, and we think it was just as successful. In the spring, Vern Schoenfeld was awarded a V. F, W. medal for an essay contest. Now that the Class of '36 is going out, and a new class is coming to claim the name of the high and mighty Seniors, we hope that sometimes the students will think of the events we sponsored and the place we once held in the H. C. H. S., and we are sure we won't forget the good times we have had in school during the four years we spent here.

Junior History September 6, 1933 Humboldt County High School Thirty-seven green freshmen can be seen approaching, somewhat hesitnntly, the portals S. We soon made ourselves felt by being the only Freshman class ever to be victorious The class was represented in all sports, and joe de Arrieta was named on the All-Conference, and All-State teams. On September 4, 1934 we could hold our heads a little higher and be called Sophomores. As before, we were well represented in all sports, winning the Inter-class Basketball championship and the Inter-class Track championship. We started out this year, our first one as Upperclassmen with a bang as Joe de Arrieta, Martin Arbonies, Ralph Deems, William Hoxsey, Felix Scott, and John Crawford received football letters. The Basketball team again won the Inter-class games and had de Arrieta, Hoxsey, and Rex Dillon receiving letters in this sport. The class also showed its ability in Track as it was represented by de Arrieta Crawford, Dillon, Hoxsey, Deems, and Scott. The Tennis team had Horace Smith, George Smith, Normal Abel, and Ralston Hawkins out as members. Minnie Dangelmaier, Ethel Etchegoyhen, Horace Smith, Charles Duffy, and Ralston Hawkins belonged to the Debate Club. Smith and Duffy received letters for defeating the Hne Elko team. A modernistic arrangement was the theme for our Junior Prom, held on February 8, 1936. Three Juniors were adiudged winners in the Short Story Contest and were rewarded by having their stories put into the Winnada. They were Theodora Pultz, Marian Wootan, and Ralston Hawkins. A circus theme worked out in all the characteristic style of the Big Top was used in our Junior Stunt Show. Our class members who participated in it were: Marguerite Smith, Alice Bengochea, Roberta Robinson, Ethel Etchegoyhen, jane Johnstone, Minnie Dangelmaier, Theodora Pultz, Harriett Thomsen, Lavonne Davis, Horace Smith, George Smith, and Robert Gorham. The following students joined the band, the newest course in school. They were: Horace Smith, George Smith, Marguerite Smith, Robert Gorham, Theodora Pultz, and LaVonne Davis. Ethel Etchegoyhen won the Veterans of Foreign Wars Essay Contest for girls and was presented with a medal by James E. Van Zandt, National Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Horace Smith was a member of the team which represented Winnemucca in the State Forensic Tournament. After some early difficulties, we gave the graduating Seniors their banquet and wished them all the luck in the world after they were once outside the portals of the dear old Humboldt County High School. All of this is water under the bridge but watch our smoke next year.
