The RED and WHITE Last Will And Testament Of Senior Class E, who are about to depart from these halls of learning into an unknown world of disappointments and joys, do bequeath taccording to a custom long established! to those we leave behind in the harbor, all our well-known characteristics which we hope will be welcome. We, the Seniors of 1934, being possessed of sound mind and body, do hereby sign our last will and testament on this seventh day of April in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four. It is our utmost desire to leave something to the faculty, who have guided our faltering foot- steps these last four years toward that familiar go-al, graduation. However, we are victims of that well-known tragedy most often called depres- sion, Therefore, since we are unable to bequeath many earthly goods, we leave to the faculty the memory of our grace and beauty fmarred only I, Elizabeth Beutler, leave my very agreeable dis- position to the Junior girls who will find it a valuable as- set in their Senior year. I, John Sutorius, being very generous, leave my bright little sayings to Tommy Dean. I, Marie Kotouc, leave my ability to win first at the various contests to Inez Rist, in order that she may meet the out-of-town contestants. I, .lean Cornelius, leave my artistic ability to Harland Keiser, in order that he may touch up his jumpy buggy a bit. We, Emma Carpenter and Eva Mae Ast, leave our acquaintances with our out-of-town fellows to the men- less freshman women. We, Mildred Parli and Charlotte Se-ely, leave our chuminess to Delphine Seely and Rita Rist. I, Robert Ninger, leave my so-called charming bash- fulness with women to Loren Biggs, who seemingly has no such trouble. I, Lola Mae King, leave my friendship with the Stella girls to Jack Palensky, who wants it badly. I, Lorene Hubka, leave my role in the Senior Class Play, as the sweet young thing, to Orma Meister, who can use it as she wishes. I, Raymond Boomgaarn, leave my permanent quiet- ness to Bus Herdlitchka, who simply thrives on talking and bass horn playing. I, Betty Clark, leave my extra studiousness to Virgil Bcomgaarn, providing he makes use of it in the future. I, Ernest Fruhbauer, leave my Paderewski hair cut to Royale Crabtree, who could. wear it most effectively. I, Berneita Jack, leave my flaming wavy locks to Margaret Fankhauser, because I think it contrasts so well with black hair. I, Jane Kehoe, bequeath my versatility to Moon Mullen, who has always wanted to do big things in a big way. I, Richard McGinnis, leave my popularity with the Sophomore co-eds to Wildon Sterner, who'll have the chance of a life time. I, Eunice Halm, bequeath my dramatic ability to Rita Jenkins, to use in future dramatic plays. I, Guy Loren Lonneke, leave my minuteness to Dale King, to use in a tight place. Page Eight by burning the midnight oily and our happy times together. Also we leave them our well-pre- served sheaves of good advice. We have kept them unused, uncalled for, and intact. Therefore, they are perfectly good for use by the rest of the H. H. S. students. To the Juniors we leave our untarnished, proud name, our dignity, and our ability as a class. We beseech them sincerely to preserve, honor, and live up to this worthy name and to keep the tradition and history of ourselves as a pattern and remember us reverently. To the Freshies and Sophs we leave our sympathy and the hope that they will grow up some day. Despite the depression and conservativeness of the members of the class, we still have a few valuable things to bequeath. ::iilii::--- I, Virginia Ann Porr, leave my poise to Mildred Robertson, by which she may profit in her social activi- ties. I, Burnus Schuler, leave my ultra-masculine laugh to Glen Powell for Joe Pennerj to entertain the English class therewith.

I, Joy Glathar, will my qulzzical smile to Bill Prater, who insists on smiling out loud. I, Austin Moritz, leave my friendliness with everyone to the high school teachers to use in the halls. I, Clinton Nearhood, leave my seat in the Physiology class to Bob Weber. I, Lee Nims, leave my ability to perform tricks to Oris Swanson, who would appreciate the notoriety.

co' 0 9' The Red and White . . . The RED and WHITE iingktn Wtflnurlgv f V31 f HE Class of '34 presents this 1933-34 Red and White with the hopes that it will meet with the commenda- tion and approval of the readers. This annual, departing from the conventional type of high school publication, has assumed more the form of a magazine and due to financial reasons the number of pages has been decreased. However, it is hoped that it will compare favorably with past publications. The first Humboldt high school annual was issued in 1915 and was called the Peekaboo. Brooks Harding was the editor-in-chief and Zuritha Hall, the business man- ager. The Peekaboo was not as large as the Red and '-iilllil Through The Trophy Case . IN the east wall of the lower hall are two trophy cases, filled with glittering cups, banners, and ribbons which have been won by students of the Humboldt high school. The first cup was won in 1916 at an Interscholastic Basketball Tournament and for thirteen years held the honor of being the first and only cup ever won by the school. In 1929, Humboldt won the Little Ten music con- test and the second cup took its place alongside the first. Then the honor awards began accumulating rapidly. In 1930, Humboldt won two cups for the instrumental and vocal championships of the Little Ten music contest, one for winning the Little Theatre Contest, and a trophy from the Humboldt Triangular Track Meet. The same year Leroy Bash presented a cup to the winners of the 880 yard relay which was captured by Humboldt. The year 1931 added three more cups to the trophy case. These were for championships in the scholastic, in- strumental, and track contests of the Little Ten. The following year the high school band added a huge be- ribboned cup which represented first place in Class B at the Nebraska State Fair and a first place trophy from the M-I-N-K. The basketball team furnished further dec- orations by winning a large silve-r basketball at the Southeastern Nebraska meet. The same year Humboldt won the Little Ten championship in music and track. The Class B sweepstakes cup of the M-I-N-K rested in the Humboldt trophy case during the year '33 and '34 but was lost in '34 to Peru. In 1933 the band, mixed 00 Lookin' Lovely, a three-act comedy, was presented by the Senior Class, May 3, at the high school auditorium. The play was coached by Miss Laura Arnup, sponsor of the Senior class. The cast of characters was as follows: Perslmmon ........... Winnie Bordine Amarilla ............. . Buddie ........ ..... . . Clytle ....................... .. Jennie Mathews Speed Hawkins Esther Hastings-um Bill Baker .......... ...... Jim Dugan ...... Cholly .........

B. A. Burdick was superintendent and the members of the board of educa- tion were F. R. Butterfield. I. Shirley, S. E. Davis, J. D. Shrauger, O. E. Zook, and G. L. Cooper. The graduating class consisted of fourteen members. The most expensive annual ever issued by the high school was in 1929 when more than S900 was spent. Since then more economy has been practiced. This year the number of pages has been reduced and the number of copies cut to 175. The total cost will be about 8300, all of which is raised by programs, subscriptions and adver- tising. chorus, and woodwind ensemble earned M-I-N-K tro- phies, and the basketball team brought home the consol- ation cup from the R. C. L. T. A. The music contest committees in 1934 adopted the State system of grading, wherein certificates are pre- sented instead of trophies. In the Little Ten Suprior certificates were won by the boys' glee club and the woodwind ensemble, and Excellent certificates were won by th girls' glee club, girls' small vocal group, small mixed instrumental group, mixed chorus, percussion group and boys' small vocal group. At the M-I-N-K con- test a Superior certificate was won by the band and Ex- cellent awards by the girls' small vocal group, mixed chorus, woodwind ensemble, and small mixed instrumen- tal group. The twenty-fourth trophy to take its place among Humboldt's laurels was the Little Ten basketball championship cup won for the first time by the 1934 quintet. The Schmelzer challenge cup also rests in the trophy case and will go to next year's champions. In March of '34 Humboldt won the trophy offered at the M-I-N-K Dramatics contest, which was ranged along side the other symbols of Humboldt High School's many victories. It is truly remarkable that a school of this size should be superior in so many activities. The trophy case bears witness of the accomplishments of the student body and holds within itself the proof of a progressive and high-minded school. Page Nine
