Robert Howe f secretary and treasurerj, was second mate. Miss Janice Walt fslponsorl, was our captain.

Loren Biggs was first mate. Ruth Sutorius and Lawrence Marshall were second and third mates. Professor D. H. Weber was our captain. Now we are on the third year of our voyage and we Junior Class Play . . . HE Junior claiss play was presented on the evening of Janluary 18, 1934 at the high school auditorium.

The moth- ers of the Juniors had complete charge of the dinner, with Mrs. I. B. Mowry acting as general chairman. Sixteen sophomore girls, dressed as cowboys, did the serving. Including the members of the Board Of Education and are still determined to win. Roberta Mowry is pilot, War- ren Herr is first mate, Robert Howe and Wildon Sterner are second and third mates. Professor Weber is still our captain. During the first three years of the voyage we have all taken active parts in music, dramatics, debate, and ath- letics. Surely our last year will bring as much joy as our first three. Although the number of passengers has decreased from fifty-three to forty-one, we are sure that when this voy- age is over, we will start on another. May our voyage of life be one of success and happiness!

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
