CAMP LIFE The camps maintained by Paul Bunyan were very active and lively. Paul logged with two crews of men, so there was always something doing along the line of activities. There was work of every kind, and the master loggers excelled in industry and enthusiasm. As a reward, many huge feasts were held each year for their benefit. Some of the boys were socially inclined, so they learned to play games, and some even went so far as to become musically proficient. But Paul Bunyan’s camps haven’t so much cause to boast. There is much going on in and around our high school: a large variety of subjects to choose from, sports, socials, and many different kinds of clubs. In the following pages you will see accounts of some of our activities.

YEAR’S HAPPENINGS Westwood Junior-Senior High Oct. 1, 1930 Dear Margie, Gee, I’m just all excited! School started Monday, September 1. Nothing much happened, except getting books, etc., until September 12, when the Juniors gave a dance to start the social season off right. The next two Saturdays we had keen fun. On the 20th we went to Sparks and saw the football game between Westwood and Sparks. The best treat came when we won the game 13 to 0. Since this was the first game of the season, we all felt pretty good. On the 17th we played Chico “B” ’s in Chico and beat them 32 to 0. Even if I do say so myself, I think we are pretty good to win the first two games of the year. On the 30th we received our first report cards. I think almost every one got pretty good grades, but the teachers took the joy out of life by telling us they felt sorry for us and had given us a little better grades than we deserved. Well, I guess that’s about all for this time, so bye bye. Your friend, Daisy. Westwood Junior-Senior High Oct. 28, 1930. Dear Margie, We surely have been having a lot of football games lately. We played Redding here on October 4, and gave them a banquet after- wards. We felt quite justified in giving them eats, however, because we took the game from them 13 to 7. On the 18th we surely had a lot of laughs; we played the Alumni, and beat them, of course, 7 to 0. That night the Seniors gave a nifty party and everyone was there. Friday, the 27th, we all felt as happy as larks because it was the last day of school for a whole week. How we love Institute Week! Am awfully busy so will close for now. As ever, Daisy. Westwood Junior-Senior High Nov. 28, 1930 Dear Margie, What do you know? We played Alturas on the first of November and tied them 6—6. Talk about your exciting games, this surely “took the cake”. Our dear teachers blessed us with report cards on the fifth and most of us found our grades weren’t quite so good as the first ones. We beat the “Antlers Club” of Reno 13—0 on November 8 on our own field. The Block “W” Society got rash and gave a school dance the night of the game. Armistice day finally came along and gave us a short vacation of one day. More excitement came on the 14th when we had Open House. 25
