ii 2 E 1 6 1 E 5 Z Q EE HIGH SCHOOL DORMITORY GYMNIASIUM El Ch a rc 0 1 929 NVELLS HIGH SCHOOL VVells, Nevada The W , . EN YEARS AGO the students of Wells High School dreamed of a block W constructed on a hill north of town. This desire remained a dream until the year of 1927. At this time the Senior Class Cclass of '28J planned to construct this letter. However, with the termination of the school year, the class of '28 graduated leaving their work to their successors. At the beginning of the next year, September, 1928, the work of building the letter was taken up at once. The first step was to interview a surveyor who pointed out that it would be almost impossible to build the letter on the hill first Planned. A new location was suggested on a hill south of town and was chosen by the Student Bodyg so a, committee of boys, accompanied by Surveyor Morrison, journeyed to the new location and staked out the letter so that it faced the town directly. Although the new location did not afford as good a viewiof the letter, it made the work of construction easier. The next problem was to find a time when the whole student body could and would get together to start the work. This was solved by Mr. Wooster who gave us a Friday off. This day was proclaimed Letter Day and each year we hope to recognize this day in order to keep the letter in good shape. On this Friday, October 5, a lively student body was trans- ported in cars to the foot of said hill and from there everyone had a good hike. The boys immediately set to work and the girls prepared the feed. After putting in a real day's work of carrying rocks, everyone enjoyed the eats and departed for home, tired but very happy. This was just a beginning but What is well begun is half done, so it will be but a short time before a shining, white block W will be smiling down 011 a proud Student Body of Wells High School. R.

Everyone is known by the feats he has accomplished, and judged by the importance of those achievements. An institution holds true to the same form as an, individual, so this year the students of Wells High School have put forth their efforts to record their worth-while events. Wells High School's first achievement came in the year 1916 when it graduated its first class of three, Nevada Cazier Kopp, Kenyon Olmsted, and Robert Weede. The class was small, but they have since proved their value. The quality of the school does not depend entirely on the number of students. enrolled. It is the spirit of the group that really counts. Our school has grown gradually until there is a regular enrollment of over Hfty students. This has increased the number of graduates each year, and those who have gone on to University have taken their places with the important students of other schools. With more students, competition among the stuflents has been given an impetus and has resulted in participation in inter- scholastic activities. Wells High School has been represented in athletic teams, glee clubs, orchestra, typing, shorthand, and essay contests. The teams have given to VVells High School a good reputation by winning a sportsmanship cup, by their friendly attitude toward rivals, and this year by their excellent playing of the game. In contests we have won prizes that navc brought renown to our school, and so feel that Wells High School has many worth-while things- of which to be proud. With these facts in mind, we have undertaken this year another endeavor, the publishing of an Annual. Its success will depend wholly upon the work and morale of the students within the school. We hope that it will be, without the spirit of boast- ing, a true record of our achievements that will prove our worth. H.

Three of our number, Milton Murphy, Frank Sharp, and Helen Olmsted, started their education in the First grade of lYells Grammar School and have continued together in school up to the present time. Our class has grown in number, some leaving and others coming. until we have a graduating class of fourteen. Our class officers for the first semester this year were: Bert Mc- Cuistion, President g john Myers, Secretary and Treasurer, Frank Sharp. Class Reporter. For the second semester: Richard Black, President: Henry XVeeks, Vice-president, Helen Olmsted, Secretary and Treasurer. These officers have assumed the responsibilities of the Senior Class and have done very well. The members of the Senior Class have taken an active part in tht school affairs, especially this last year. In the Student Government. Clilford Devaney was President for two semesters, VVilbur Rowse, Vice- l'resident first semester, and Treasurer second semesterg Helen Olm- sted. Secretary First semester: and Frank Sharp, Vice-president second semester. Helen McDaniel was Editor of the 'Mirror the first semes- ter and Milton Murphy held the position for the second semester. Helen Olmsted was editor of lil Charco and Helen McDaniel the Business Manager. VVe have representatives in Basketball. Glee Club, Orchestra. and other organizations. Several of our members have won honors during the four years of High School, Helen Olmsted won the State Typing Contest and in turn a trip to California in the fall of 1928. Eleanor Schrader received second in the Chemistry Essay Contest and Leland Weathers was given Honorable Mention in State Basketball. It is difficult to write all of the exploits and honors of the class of 1929 at the present time. After the long-looked-for Commencement Day is past. we hope we will be long remembered in the XYells High School. F. Sharp. '29. ll2l IQIVIIQXIQID IXI-.-XCIQ 'III'1lllSl4L'l' from Iilko ' I-u R ,....

Class Prophesy Nli WARM ,'XF'l'liRNOON I laid 1ny head on my arms to rest and fell asleep. l came to with a start to tind myself talking with a man who introduced himself as 'The Knower of All Things !'. After we had conversed lor a time he asked, Is there anything you would like to know F I thought for a minute and then answered, Yes, please tell me about the fourteen members of the class of '29, who graduated from XYells Ili. tiladly, he answered. .-Xs he began to talk I listened intently. I had heard little since my graduation and I was eager for news. 'El Ricardo Negroi, whom you knew as Dick Black, has been head ot the Spanish Department in Vassar College for several years. lle spent ten years in Spain and returned a Spaniard in every way but one-his crowning glory of red hair. He is still a sheik and the girls all adore him. Clifford Devaney is living as a hermit in the Ruby Mountains. I-Ie went broke buying stationery and postage stamps, and was so ashamed of his poverty, he kept his vow that women are not to be trusted. XYinifred Gulley and Milton Murphy are on the Orpheum Circuit, Fred- die sings soprano and Milton sings bass. --H 1 e en McDaniel, after a tragic marriage to Bert McCuistion, took to a speedy life on the stage and he to a Blues Orchestra. Fred Mclilroy, now exalted ruler of the 'Holy Rollers' tours the country making many evangelistic addresses, john Myers is now traveling in Europe for his health. He was a frail boy, you remember. Helen Olmsted works hard trying to support her worthless husband, Lee lVeathers, lYilbur Rowse is the director of a large motion picture company. XVil- bur has attained his greatest ambition, being able to make love to all the pretty girls in Hollywood. Frank Sharp is the Manager of the United States to England Airplane Co., and has many passenger planes which make daily trips to London, Henry XYeeks has been very successful in Chemistry research, and now owns the largest and most modern laboratory in the western hemisphere. .Xs he finished a loud bell startled me.

Robert Leighton made the first team in Basketball in his Freshman year and has made the first string every year since. Howard has been yell leader for the past basketball season. Adelbert made the first team in his Sophomore year. He also showed up well in the Tennis Tournament, winning the championship of the singles. Robert and VVilbur won the double meet, so the class captured a victory and a half. The girls, too, have done exceptionally well. as they have represented the school in the Home Economics Contest in Reno. Margaret Goble and VVinifred Gxley both won prizes. Louise Tooznbs went to Reno for the Shorthand Contest and came third in the state. Nearly every semester there has been one or more members of our class on the Mirror Staff.

As soon as these freshmen hecame acquainted they showed the rest of the school that they weren't quite as infantile as they appeared to he. The Sophomore class has heen well represented in all activities. In liaskethall, Raymond Gray made his letter last year and was suhsti- tute for the first team this year. Last year four of the girls went to Reno for the State Home lfconomics Contest. The Sophomores have participated in both Glee Clubs, all kinds of athletics, and dramatics. Two of the Sophomores, Therin Hyde and john Franklin are in the school orchestra. The Mirror reporter last semester was Lafe Leach: seeond semester, .Iohn lfranklin, and the tiirls' Athletic Reporter was Mary Murphy. The Sophomores on the lil Charcon staff are Madge Toomhs, Kathryn lYardleigh, Mary Murphy, and Russell Drake. The following' officers have heen elected during 1928-29. l'resi- dent, .lohn lfranklin and Mary Murphyg Yice-president, Therin llyde: Secretary, Madge Toomhsg Treasurer, Lafe Leach. Since this is only our second year in high school we hope to make the next two years a great success. and we are all looking forward to our remaining' two years. M.

That this method of government has been all that could be desired in a small school was well demonstrated when President Devaney brought his report back from the meeting' of High School Student Rody l'residents at The l'niversity of Nevada to the effect that XYells High School stood second in the state in lack of problems in the Student Body.

It has been organized for several years, each year under the leadership of the Home Economics teacher. The purpose of the club is to promote home interests and to further Home Economics work.. Each year the club sponsors some big entertainment and uses the proceeds to Send girls to Reno to the yearly Home liconomics Contest. This year, aided by our leader. Miss Theo Olmsted, the club has been very successful in its work. THF MlR ROR The Mirror, or Reflections of the XY. H. S., originated over six years ago, and has been continued since then. It has been possible to publish the Mirror through the kindness of Charles bl, Triplett, editor of the Nevada State Herald. The Mirror is a record of the work in XV. H, S. A report is made each week from the various classes, athletics, socie- ties, and organizations of the school. In this way, it is pos- sible for the public to keep in touch with the activities in the high school. l3ll f L . X 1 13 if 'E JOHN AGRUSA Coach ATHLETICS E331 l34l ROBERT LEIGHTON Center Bob as we affectionately call him, has done his bit to make the season a success. This is his third year on the team, and with another year before him we can look for some stellar playing. Bob has been high point man in practically every game. He is always in the game fighting all the time, and causes the other teams lots of worry. FRANK SHARI' Forward Frank is a very speedy little player and always proves himself worthy of his position. VVhenever a man on the opponent's team needs watching, Frank is always there to do it. Frank is a Senior this year and will be missed very mneh. He is the only fonr year letter man on the team. LELAND XVEATH ERS Forward Lee is one of the cleverest for- wards in the state. He is fast and has a habit of getting under the basket. Last year he was selected all state forward by the journal. was picked by the Block N for honorable mention. Lee has the honor of being the first NVells man chosen. This is Lee's last year and we will miss him when he goes. HENRY VVEEKS Guard Vlieeks. another Senior, is a very good all-rouncl player and he is a great help to the team hy making numerous long shots. He is a two year letter man. The team will suffer a loss when VVeeks graduates. Rl CH.-XRD BLACK Guard Dick, our recl-headed guard. ezuue to us from Elko High School. This is his second year with Wells. He is a very clever guard aucl as well as showing plenty of figlit stalxilizes the team. The loss of Dick will he felt very keenly next ve'u' 1 . FRIED MCELROY Forward lfrecl. or otherwise known as Mac , is playing baskcthall much better than he clirl last year. This is lfreml's last year at school and he will he lnissecl in thc years to eome. Fred has heen playing hall for four years and he has turned out to he a very useful player. 351 XVI LH UR ROXVSE Guard Rowse is also a Senior, and will have played his last year. He came to us as a junior from Montello High School without experience. He had hard n17lClilllgSn trying to make the squad and lost out on the tournament last year through sick- ness. This year Rowse niade good hut graduation will deprive us of his service next year. A DIQLBERT LEACH Forward Leach, although light. is a very dependable forward and sharp- shooter. He is a junior this year and in the following year he ought to he a very valuable man. He is a two-year letter man. RAYMOND GRAY Guard or Forward Red , another red-head on our team, is a reliable guard or forward. He is the youngest player on the team, being a Sophomore, and ought to show up very well in th: following years. l36l HE MAJOR SPORT in Boys' Athletics this year, basketball, had its culmination on Thursday, March 7, when our boys met the strong Carson City team in the first day of the State Tournament play at Reno. Advanced dope indicated that we stood a good chance for the state title this year, but something happened in this first game at Reno which might be termed just one of those things, for the boys just couldn't seem to get going and came out on the short end of a 20 to 12 score. Prior to the Carson game at Reno, VVells had won the right to make the trip there after having won its two games at the Easern Nevada Tournament. This tournament was held because of the change in the State Tournament play made last fall after a vote of the High Schools of Nevada. The State was districted and representatives from the districts were to meet in Reno for the annual state tournament. By defeating Carlin, 51-25 on Friday March 1, in the first day of the tournament,, Wells won the right to meet Elko who had in turn defeated Battle Mountain. The Elko-XVells game on Saturday, March 2, will be long remembered by the citizens of both towns. After bow- ing in the first half to a score of 20-13, the Wells boys came back with deter- mination and punch to nose out in the fourth quarter and finish the game with a four point lead and the good news was fiashed to those who stayed at home that XVells had won, 31-27. Wells, too, had won the right to be one of the representatives to the State Tournamentg NVinnemucca was the other representative from the Eastern District. In the seasons play before either of the two tournaments, each game this year was to count in the team's standing so that the outstanding team in the district would be placed in an easy bracket at the Elko tournament. This made the pre-tournament games more important than any year before and the Fighting Five from Wells wanted to make themselves safe for an invasion of Reno without having to worry about the Elko tournament if pos- sible. That this determination was strong was amply proven when the first games and trip of the season went to Wells. On this trip, Battle Mountain, on january 4, went down to defeat 14-9 and on the next night VVinnemucCa was humbled 25-23 in a game that was just a little unexpected but showed what might be looked for in the Wells boys this year. Following this Battle Mountain-Winnemucca trip, XYells took to the road again on the ensuing Saturday, january 12, and after the perspiration had been washed away the score board showed 36 points for VVells with but 14 for Carlin to boast about. These had been good workouts for the boys and now the big day was coming. For thirteen years Wells had been aiming at lilko but never could they hit the mark. On Friday, January 18, Elko invaded NVells for the annual game and after the shouting had died down and folks came back to their senses, the figures would not lie and proclaimed that Wells had 33 points while Elko was getting a scant 16. It was indeed a great night for the Wellsites. i371 lYe next played Carlin here and defeated them 34-19 and kept our winning streak intaet lmy taking Battle Mountain the following week 25 to 9. And then came the return lilko game at Iilko and after being snowed under to the tune of 25-12 the tirst half, the lt'ig'l1ti1ig Five scored and scored in the second half until the score stood lill-co 28, XYells 27, .X long lilko shot just lmefore the timers signal gave them the game 30-27, lvut it was a glorious defeat.

The next two week-ends represented XX'ells rietoriesg the lirst to lfureka -lil-l9 and the next to Metropolis SO-19. 'l'hen the lflko tournament which would deeide the team to go to Reno. That story has heen told already and we are left only the tale of thirteen victories and three defeats in the lmest lmasketlwall year lYells has ever had. THE SQUAD l38l 5 Girls ' Athletics IRL5 .X l lll.l'.l lt 5 this yfar, under our new Phvsical lidu- . 1 cation teacher, Miss Loring, took 1' decided turn from former years. Hefore. attention had always heen turned to lmasketlwall and when it was over our program was comple- Q ted. This year, however, we are aiming at the newly worked--out , , Play Day to he held at the Lfmver- sity of Nevada in May. 'l'his will A take in all forms of girls' athletics and will give usa hroader scope and a hetter goal to work for each year. gi M'ith Play Day in mind, Miss Loring first started us out on Volley K, - . - 1 l-lall. After a few disjointed hngers t W A we hecame proficient enough to play a regular game in which one team lS.'Xl3lil. LORING C h dressed to ht their name, The Bath- OSC ing Beauties while the other acted. and dressed as The Devils. 'lfhe liathing lleauties out-rasealled the Devils and won, M'ith the Play Day still in mind, and pointing toward it. the girls started lwaskethall in the second semester and after direful instruction from Miss .l.oring tinally put on a game as a preliminary to the NYells, Metropolis game lielwruary 23, This time the teams were the Pirates and the Bums. True to their names the Pirates stole the game from the Bums who seemed to feel the weight of their names and loafed a little too much. Spring vacation next injected itself into the program and after it was over the girls started working out for track. XYith volley hall, haskethall and track people all lined out the idea was to choose three or four girls to represent the school at Reno during the Play Day. Generally speaking, Play Dzgv is to make a major of no single sport, hut to develop a well rounded series of events for girls and to luring the most outstanding girls in the state together at Reno where hoth athletic and social activities are stressed. This year is the lirst for a XYells group to attend and as this hook goes to print, we look for our girl athletes to carry on the colors raised so high by the hoys this year. l39l Tennis 1n the fall of 1928 the students participated in a Tennis Tourna- ment. Through the process of elimination Adelbert Leach, X50 won the singles meet, and XVilbur Rowse, '29 and Robert Leighton. '30 carried off honors for the doubles. The girls neglected to play the final game between Kathryn'NVardleigh, '31 and Ruth McElroy. '29. NVith the coming of spring, the students are gaining interest XVe have gotten together, hauled gravel, and fixed the court so that we may enjoy the game to a greater advantage. YYe are also making arrangements for the construction of a new court. This will enable eight people instead of four to play and will make the game more popular. Baseball Last spring in 1928, the boys organized a baseball team. They gained practice through their class games, and finally challenged Elko. VVells was victorious in the three games played. The boys plan to reorganize this spring and perhaps play other teams as they' did last year. Track Last year was very unsuccessful for the Track men. XYinter was late and when the weather did become favorable for their prac- tice an epidemic of influenza went through the school, putting the boys out of running for the district and state competition. A num- ber of boys have gone out this spring and we hope they will be able to make a good showing at the.State Track Meet to be held in Reno in May. E401 ISAIHCI. LORING Director DRAMA TICS xx 5.

VVhen with a roar of relentless fury, The storm attacks the earth, It veils the land in a misty white W'hile the mountain looks on in mirth. For often it has seen the tempest Charge its peaks in vain, And often has it faced the strongest storm But it ever remains the same. -John Franklin, '31 ANGEL LAKE Out in Nevada in the Rubies high, There's a wonderful lake as blue as the sky. The water is deep the mountains are tall, They seem to be sentinels and guard over all. Azure at sunrise, golden at night, Tall trees reflected in mirrored moonlight. Snow bound in winter, in summer dull green Reflects into Angel Lake always-serene. -Margaret Goble, '30 JUNE The fairest month of all the yearg Thy sunny skies will bring good cheer, How cheerful seem your sparkling fountains, How marvelous are your reaching mountains. How green and tall your growing grass, Your brooks are playing as they pass. Oh, how delightful is the singing Of your happy songbirds wingingg The gentle June wind is softly sighing And blossoming trees are low replying, How happy am I when June is here! The fairest month of all the year. -Lafe Leach, '3l. E481 I 1 'vges --cefvw K ' . . A A . , . .,.,,,-. c 'rs is T Ju 5.1: H ,ci or . I inns.- A l 1 l T ye . T ' if ii :ini Xxx r M . NEW DORMITORY MRS. JEANNEY OLD DORMITORY MR. AGRUSA MRS. MCDERMID The Dormitory XYhen school started in 1925 a number of outside students desired to live and go to school in XYells, so a house was rented and furnished to serve as thve dormitory. The first year there were ten boys and girls who lived there. The second year the same building was used, but it became evident that it was inadequate. The citizens of VVells then put forth their efforts to get a hill appropriating' money and authorizing the sale of bonds in order to obtain the money required. The bill was passed, the bonds sold. and the building erected. In February 1928 the students moved into the new dormitory. This year Mrs. May bleanney is the matrong Mr, .lohn Agrusa supervisor of the boysg and Mrs. Mcllermid cook. The students living there are: Doro- thy Ralph, Myrlin Ralph, Mary Currie, Corinne Graham, Belle Franklin.
