SENIOR HISTORY We then gave the Junior Prom, an event which showed the originality and creative ability of this class. 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.

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.
