Humboldt County High School - Winnada Yearbook (Winnemucca, NV)

Text from Pages 1 - 70 of the 1939 volume:

ROLLIN CHARLES STITSER Among the more conservative he walked Our quiet streets, alert, and quite intent On issues small and great; perhaps on how To bring about a better road so that Our town should further gain the tourist trade, Or how to see that Winnemucca shared In benefits of federal finance. He stopped sometimes to roar a ripping jest At one who often failed to meet his wit— So mingled weighty thought with foolery, A mark of genius, world-recognized. His strident voice so probed, so stirred to thought, So sometimes angered those who dared oppose, They felt within a rise of vital force Which they half-numb had hitherto unknown, And so walked stronger men from out the fray. Provoker of debate, a stimulant To sluggish thought, a probe of outgrown ways, He sought to tie our little town to what J, He saw of world affairs. Big, blond, bare-headed Loud-voiced, intense, with moods of tenderness, Unseen, he walks our quiet small-town streets. smur 01 stsmn stn small-town streets. AUBREY FORREST CAMPBELL It does not seem that he is gone, It’s been so short a while— Since last we saw him, greeted him, Received his answering smile. ' And though we cannot understand Just why he had to go, We hope he will be happy there Because we miss him so. —Wilberta Merrian ’40 The aim of the 1939 “Winnada” has been to relieve the monotony of composition found in many year books. In choosing our theme, we were reminded of a description of Nevada scenery given by an old man who had spent his entire life in our state. He drawled, “One sweep of the eye and ye’ve seen it all.” To the Winnada staff, such was not the case. Although we felt that perhaps our theme did not have a direct connection with our school, still the constantly-changing beauty of our sunsets has always held a place in the hearts of “true Nevadans.” We give you our efforts to make your 1938-1939 school year a memorable one for you. The book is divided into the following divisions: Classes Activities Athletics To cur friend and teacher, Mr. F. A. Flanders, we, the staff, on behalf of the student body, dedicate this annual of 1939. During his eight years of teaching at Humboldt County High School, he has willingly cooperated with the students in any activity which they have undertaken. It is with this helpful attitude and sincerity in mind that we respectfully dedicate this Winnada to Mr. Flanders. 5 BOARD OF EDUCATION The type of individual who represents our school board is one who with realization of his task assumes the responsibility of furthering education in this community. We take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members of our school board for their interest and help in making H. C. H. S. a better and more modern high school. i FACULTY PAUL CHESTER B.

MAURO FORGNONE (Transferred from Paradise) 11 SENIOR HISTORY 1935- 1936 — Upon entering H. C. H. S., our class of forty-two Fresh- men was shown no favoritism what- ever, and we duly received our share of lipstick and mistreatment. Al- though the Sophomores defeated us on Field Day, we retaliated by walk- ing over them in the interclass bas- ketball games. Excitement over us soon died down, and we fell into the regular routine of subjects and school regulations. 1936- 1937—Beginning school this year was quite a different event from last year’s entrance. We were no longer the lowly “Frosh.” We were represented in athletics by Jack Kearney, Herman Ast, Fred Braito, Albert Williams, Joe Kinney, Leroy Mugartegui, and Sam Gilli- land. The following girls were se- lected for G. A. A.: Patricia Sher- man, Frances Hawkins, Sally Cha- bagno, and Dorothy Loest. Our an- nual “Sophomore Hop” was the big- gest success of its kind for several years. 1937- 1939 — “Revenge is sweet.” Each and every Junior had this in mind when he saw the group of bewildered Frosh on the first morn- ing of the new school year. We had our fun and settled down to show the Seniors that they had competition this year in every department. Sam Gilliland and Herman Ast began the work by earning letters in football.

The Junior boys became “Interclass Basketball Champs,” while Herman Ast and Albert Williams made let- ters in this sport. The girls also stood out in every sport with Frances Hawkins, Sally Ghabagno, Dorothy Loest, and Patricia Sher- man making many varsities. 1938-1939 — Now we are Seniors, our last chance to show our ability. Dorothy Loest Violet English, Sally Chabagno, and Frances Hawkins at- tended Play Day in Lovelock. Our class members were very active in sports, with Albert Williams, Leroy Mugartegui, Sam Gilliland, and Herman Ast receiving letters in football. Mugartegui, Ast, and Gilliland were three of the half- dozen members of H. C. H. S.’s champion Six-man Football team. Frances Hawkins was elected cap- tain of the volleyball team, while Hawkins, Williams, and English re- ceived tennis letters. On “Cut Day” we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were quite pleased with even this one short day of vacation. Our Senior Ball went over with a “bang.” We say farewell to all our teachers and friends and sincerely hope that they are as sorry to see us leave as we are to depart.

We gladly submitted ourselves to the joyous initiation rites con- ducted by the upperclassmen, and were delighted because ours was the first Freshman class to ever tie in Field Day events against the Sophomore class. Sophomore representatives in the G. A. A., one of the largest school organizations, were Peg- gy Sowers, Irene Capelli, Mar- garet Haviland, Claire Kirk, Elsie Garn, Jean Clawson, Doll Corbett and Donna Kelly. A number of the Sophomore girls were also active in various other school or ganizations. FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS President . . . Jack Walling Vice President . . . . Fausto Mentaberry Secretary . . .

A new group of Juniors strut- ted up and down the academic halls of H. C. H. S. and at once showed ability in all around ac- tivities. Debate letters were awarded to Ernst and Diehl. Mahy of our group went out for tenths, track, and other activities. Our Junior Prom, with the theme “Spring,” was the most joyous event of the year and was well attended. We hope to make our Senior year the happiest of our entire school life. — Jack Diehl “40“ SPRING SEMESTER OFFICERS President . Fermin Lecumberry Vice President . . . .

Many girls, too, added to the honor of the class. Five of them made the volley ball varsity. They were Alliene Robinson, Beth Morrall, Grace Etchart, Theo Woodward, and Katherine O’Leary.

The Freshmen staged a brave fight, but the Sophomores were victorious in the games on Field Day. This opening day marked the first page in the history of the Fresh- man Class. The class members diligently and faithfully participated in all school activities. Although the sun sets for the Seniors, it is just rising for the Fresh- men, and we hope to accomplish many worthwhile deeds before the sun sets for us at Humboldt County High School.

Speeches and wise- cracking were heard at al- Vice- President Leroy Mugartegui most every meeting. Secretary Donna Abel The Frosh showed good sportsmanship during their initiation, and, dressed in every possible costume, pre- sented a very lively comedy. Herman Ast, Editor of the Winnada; Frances Hawkins, Business Manager of the Win- nada, and Margaret Vetter, Lecumbcrry g itor 0f Winnonian, at- tended the annual Press Con- ference held at Reno. These students brought back many new ideas for the Winnada and the Winnonian. T reasurer Fermin Athletic Manager Martin Barrenechea Yell Leader Peggy Sowers Yell Leader Jack Walling The Pep Club scheduled many rallies and conducted many student body meetings. The football and basketball games were well attended, and speeches were heard by the student body from those par- ticipating in these contests. Violet English “39” 22 SPRING SEMESTER ACTIVITIES President Basketball games and Sam Gilliland track activities were the fea- tures of the spring semester. The basketball tournament for this year was held in president Carlin, and, as Winnemucca was a runner-up in the fi- nals, we won the right to attend the State Tourna- ment in Reno. Secretary Violet On February 27, Jack English Diehl won the oratorical contest in Elko and was giv- en the right to attend the State Oratorical Contest in Reno. T reasurer Fermin Lecumberry The State Music Festival was held in Ely on April 27, 28, and 29. The Humboldt County High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Bruce Hubbard, attended and was given high ratings.

At this time the following officers were elected: Margaret Vetter, President; Lyle Ellison, Vice President; and Dora Wark, Secretary-Treasurer. From time to time this club held short meetings in order to dis- cuss phases of newspaper work. At these meetings assignments for the next Winnonian were made by the president. It is believed that the combined efforts of the Senior and Junior members of this club will insure the successful publication of the Winnonian for 1939-40.

At the first of every year, many new members are admitted to the club, and a party is given for the initiates. A social is held every month for the purpose of creating friendship among the girls. A party is also held every fall for all of the girls in school. This year it was held at the sand dunes. FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER Frances Hawkins ....

Eight new members were admitted this year to the Block “W”, a boys’ honorary athletic society. To be eligible for membership, it is required that a letter be made in any one of the three major sports, namely; football, basketball, and track. In an amendment proposed by the Block “W” and passed by the Student Body, it was decided that a letter would be awarded to the athletic manager if he served successfully for the term of one year. At the end of each school year, a banquet is held to promote better friendship and school spirit among the members. FALL SEMESTER Herman Ast............. Fausto Mentaberry . . .

On September 4, 5, and 6, our band co-operated with the Winne- mucca City Band and played for the Rodeo. The band was bigger and better this year than ever before, taking part in many activities such as entertainment at basket-ball games, holiday parades, socials, individual appearances, and concerts. On April 27, 28, and 29, the band attended the State Music Fes- tival in Ely. It presented marches, overtures, and a maneuver which spelled N-E-V-A-D-A. The band received high ratings for both march- ing and playing at this festival. 30 —Peggy Sowers “40 CHOIR 1 f f Loft to right, first row: Katherine O’Leary, Grace Etchart, Josephine Frink, Kuby Byrd, Peggy Sowers; second row: Betty Scott, Dora Wark, Director Bruce Hubbard, Doll Corbett, Ella Corbett. t r i Now composed of nine girls, this body was originally called the “Sextet,” a group of six girls. The “Sextet” included all girls taking individual voice instruction, and as there happened to be six of them, they were named “the Humboldt County High School Sextet ” Competition was too great, however, and mere members had to be admitted. Mr. Hubbard has taken a great deal of time with the “Choir,” and believes he now has the finest group of singers in the school. The Choir participated in the district Music Festival in Elko on April 22 and received a high superior rating. The Girls’ Glee Club also received a high superior rating at this event, and we feel that Mr. Hubbard deserves much credit for his work with these organizations. —Ruby Byrd “40” DEBATE CLUB Speaker, Albert Williams; left row, front to back: Wicdle Robins, Frances Hawkins, Dora Walk, Jack Diehl; center row: Jack Walling, Richard Ernst, Gordon Hawkins, Constance Braito, Beth Morrall; right row: Louise Francis, Frank Saunders, Fred Braito, Delbert Thomsen, Mrs. Hudson, coach. This year, with a membership of twenty students, the Debate Club, organized and supervised by Mrs. Hudson, played an important part in the school activities. Although the first semester saw no outside debates, several spirited try-outs between Sophomore, Juniors, and Seniors were held. The first debate of the year was held in Lovelock on March 22. A short time later a try-out was held tc determine the team entering the Forensic Tournament in Reno. Frances Hawkins and Jack Diehl com- posed the team which entered the tournament. During the middle of the second semester, a debate party was en- joyed by the members of the club.

The “School of Charm” marches on! Charm was unanimously se- lected to be the theme of our meetings. Officers elected to help carry out the theme were: President . . Vice President Secretary . . ' Treasurer . . Meetings were held every first and third Friday of each month, with much to be said and done at each meeting. The schools participating in our annual Home Ec Day were: Elko, Lovelock, and Battle Mountain. A fashion show, demonstrations, and a banquet were the highlights of the show. Money was successfully raised for this by selling sandwiches at the football games. Our bazaar in December was a success, both financially and socially. Katherine O’Leary . . Lois Sowers . .

Many new members joined with the more experienced shooters to make one of the largest enrollments the club has ever had. While the less experienced shoot prone, the more advanced arc shooting in a sitting position. This doesn't seem to hinder them because many have received numerous certificates, and a few have obtained medals and bars. The club has a “pot-luck party” each semester for all of the mem- bers. We hope that next year we will have a group of experienced shoot- ers able to participate in matches. President . Vice-President Secretary Peggy Sowers Claire Kirk Theo Woodward LEATHERCRAFT CLUB The Leathercraft Club, which was organized under the direction of Miss Morgan, became quite active this year and entered many works of art in the Annual Art Exhibit, held this year in Ely. Many useful things were made. Some of these were billfolds, belts, purses, and book covers, Ihe students making the articles which they most desired. Quite a number of students are interested in leather work this year, and we hope to have a bigger and better Leathercraft Club next year. FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER Gordon Hawkins ....

These boys have attained a record of which any high school football player would well be proud of, having never yet been beaten in a game of Six-man Football. Only losing two of these beys, Herman Ast and Leroy Mugartegui, by graduation, Humboldt County High School is assured of having another team of championship calibre. 38 FOOTBALL Top picture, front row, left to right: Coach A1 Lowry, V. Smith, J. Diehl, S. Gilliland, A. Woodward, H. Mentaberry, H. Ast, L. Ellison, Mgr. M. Barrenechea; back row: F. Mentaberry, D. Watts, F. O’Leary, F. Braito, R. Meals, R. Ast, L. Mugartegui, R. Shaw, F. Lecumberry SIX-MAN FOOTBALL On September 15, twenty hale and hearty “Buckaroos” answered Coach Lowry’s call for football material. Interclass football was successfully carried out this year, with the Juniors walk- ing off with pig-skin honors. Immediately following the interclass games, Coach Lowry started rounding out his first “half-dozen.” With five letter-men back from last year’s squad, Coach Lowry’s hopes for a successful season seemed certain. After a few weeks of intensive practice, the Buckaroos started the season by meeting Fernley in a very one-sided game. The Buckaroos played and defeated all opposition this year and ended with an undefeated and untied team. They were named the first “State Champions of Six- Man Football,” thereby carrying out Humboldt County High School’s most successful football season. BASKETBALL Loft to right, first row: Joe Quilici, Vernon Smith, Fausto Mentaberry, Robert Meals, Jack Diehl, Albert Williams, Captain Herman Ast; second row: Harvey Arbonies, Fermin Lecumberry, Donald Watts, Robert Ast, Henry Mentaberry, Tony Costa, Jack Walling, Manager Martin Barrenechea; third row: Elmer Guthrie, Allen Woodward, Duane Snider, Coach Albert Lowry, Lyle Ellison. After a week of practice, the basketball season started. Interclass games were played, with the Sophomores walking off will all honors. With six letter men back from last year, the “Buckaroos” were assured of having a “better than average” squad. Winning their way to the runner-up position in the Eastern Zone, the “Buckaroos” again qualified for the State Tournament. Out of the ten outstanding players in the zone were Captain Herman Ast, Fausto Mentaberry, and Harvey Arbonies. Fausto Mentaberry and Captain Herman Ast were chosen on All- State Basketball teams, proving that Coach Lowry knows his business. 40 —Harvey Arbonies “41” BASKETBALL This picture, a photograph cf the Buckaroos in action at the State Tournament in Reno, was provided through the courtesy of Ivy Freeman, Nevada State Journal Photographer. Fausto Mentaberry is shown leaping through the air in an attempt to make a basket. This picture is one of the Panaca-Winnemucca game in which Winnemucca was defeated after a hard fcught battle. Panaca went on to win the State Championship from the Stewart Indians in a hotly contested game. 41 BASKETBALL Elko 42, Winnemucca 35 In a game which was said to be the fastest and highest-scoring game yet played on the Elko court, we again mot defeat at the hands of the Indians. Wells 14, Winnemucca 42 Determined to end our eastern Ne- vada invasion in a blaze of glory, we ran roughshod over the Wells quintet, and scored almost at will. Winnemucca 32, Carlin 21 Again facing an erratic squad from the railroad town, the Buckaroos got down to work at the opening whistle and won with no difficulty whatever. Winnemucca 38, Battle Mountain 13 Revenge for last year's defeat must have been in every Buckaroo’s head that night, for they virtually played their hearts out. Look at the score! Battle Mountain 10, Winnemucca 36 Showing we were as determined as ever, we ended our zone schedule with . n easy victory. Winnemucca 44, Lovelock 20 With the subs playing the majority of the game, we almost walked through this one. Nothing tough about the game. MARCH, 1939 ZONE TOURNAMENT AT CARLIN Carlin 17, Winnemucca 37 We got off to a good start here and showed we had what it took. Substi- tuted freely and still kept going. Eureka 13, Winnemucca 47 Our opponents weren’t what they were cracked up to be. We scored at will and never had a doubtful moment of our ability to win. Montello 31, Winnemucca 28 After leading throughout the con- test, we went to pieces and lost in the final minutes of the game. We received the Runner-up Trophy, however, and had won the right to participate in the State Tourney. STATE TOURNAMENT AT RENO Yerington—Winnemucca Because one of their players was ruled ineligible, Yerington was excluded from the tournament, and we drew' a bye. Panaca 34, Winnemucca 21 Reaching the semi-finals, the Bucka- roos couldn’t hit their stride and lost an exciting game. We started out good and although we trailed by two points at the half, our chances looked favor- able. Harvey Arbonics Fausto Mentaberry Joe Quilici Don Watts Jack Diehl Coach Albert Lowry BASKETBALL DECEMBER, 1938 Eureka 14, Winneinucca 24 This trip marked initial time that Buckaroos traveled this far. Deter- mined to start our season right, we handed them a beating in a rough and tumble game. JANUARY, 1939 Austin 8, Winneinucca 28 Although we ended the half in a 5 to Fermin 4 lead, the Buckaroos put on a last Lecumberry quarter “spurt” and thoroughly wallop- ed the Austin quintet. Winneinucca 12, Fallen 23 A quintet of Fallon “giants” invaded the local's court, and emerged victori- ous in a slow and very uninteresting game. The “Cowboys” were no match for the Green Wave. Robert Meals Albert Williams Vernon Smith Lovelock (i, Winneinucca 38 Handing the Mustangs the worst beating ever administered them by a Winneinucca quintet, the “Bucks” led by a large margin at the end of the game. Winneinucca 33, Austin 5 Virtually snowing under Coach Henry Nelson’s charges, the Buckaroos pinned a 33 to 5 defeat on the Austin Miners. Winnemucca 27, Sparks 39 Sparks got “hot” and so went the ball-game. Kearney forgot to “duck” and went out on fouls. Fallon 28, Winnemucca 17 Although only behind 3 points at the half, Winnemucca was handicapped by injuries, and we lost a tough one. Winnemucca 27, Wells 18 Couldn’t seem to get going. We should have won much easier than we did. Winnemucca 19, Elko 24 Meeting our age-old rivals in this particular sport for the first time dur- ing the current season, the Buckaroos lost because of the fact that they couldn’t seem to hit the hoop at any time during the game. Manager Martin Barrenechea FEBRUARY, 1939 Winnemucca 34, Montello 32 In the toughest game of the year, we came from behind to win by a narrow margin. Coming into the second half, we fought ourselves into a lead and finally emerged victorious. Carlin 24, Winnemucca 30 Running up a first-quarter lead of 11-2, we slacked off until Carlin tied the score. We settled down, and the game ended with the Buckaroos moving ahead. “B” SQUAD Left to right, first row: Leonard Bidart, Howard Mattson, Harold Larragueta, Guy Williams, Gordon Hawkins, Frank Bidart; second row: Jesse Kirk, William Hooft, William Arant, Lyle Minor, Henry Bebout, Joe Rodriguez; third row: Frank Flanders, coach, Reginald Shaw. Under the coaching of Mr. Flanders, the “B” Squad got off to a good start this year and won a fair percentage of their games. In order that more boys would have an opportunity to play and to gain some experi- ence, the “B” Squad joined the City League, in which they won two games. Two trips were made by the “B” Squad: the first trip to Lovelock was successful, as they defeated Lovelock easily; the other trip to Para- dise was the reverse, and the “B” Squad met their defeat. The other twelve games were played at home. In the return game with Lovelock, the “B” Squad again emerged victorious. In the four games played with the Grammar School, they were defeated but once.

Gabica, E. Miller. Because no other schools had fall tennis teams, Coach Flanders’ tennis squad was unable to compete in any games. In the spring, the largest number of students ever to take tennis turned out with their tennis racquets. The younger players gave the veterans a stiff fight for the desired places. Those on the team were Frances Hawkins, Violet English, and Albert Williams. Coach Flanders was always on the courts helping to make better tennis players of the students. We hope to have some games with neighboring towns although none have been definitely scheduled to date. —Violet English “39” VOLLEYBALL Volleyball Varsity: First row, left to right: C. Kirk, V.

The volleyball girls were defeated by Lovelock in the rival town by a score of 52-41. However, they secured revenge in the following game in Winnemucca, emerging victorious by a wide margin. Although engaging in no interscholastic contests, the girls’ soft- ball varsity maintained a fiery and spirited rivalry between different groups of Physical Education classes. 47 CALENDAR AUGUST, 1938. 31—School opens.
