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

We were all scared and nervous, but we made the gala event a success. There surely were a lot of people there. On the 15th, the girls were supposed to have a playday with Las- sen, but on account of the weather it was postponed indefinitely. Much to our sorrow, we lost our “Big Game” to Lassen on the 19th, by a score of 13—0. The Seniors got high brow and gave a private party the next Tuesday. We certainly were thankful for Thanksgiving; we had a few days to catch up on our homework. We were supposed to have a game with the University of Nevada “Frosh” but they didn’t show up; so we played the Alumni and beat them again, 12—0. Well, dearie, I’m getting the writer’s cramp, so tra la. Love, Daisy. Westwood Junior-Senior High Dec. 23, 1930 Dearest Margie, You can’t imagine how busy I’ve been. We Seniors waxed ambi- tious and had a work day. We cleared the section of ground between the left wing of the school and the assembly hall, and made several gravel walks. We’re planning to have a rustic bench. It surely is a big improvement to the school yard. All this work happened on Saturday, December 6. On the 12th we played basketball with Red Bluff, here, and were beaten 28—18. Of course, you must remember this is still early in the season. We got our report cards on the 11th. Can you imagine! The faculty gave us a big party on the 13th that was a knock-out. They danced, sang, and recited for us, and were they good! On the 19th, the Knights of Columbus of Reno came here anl played a game of basketball. Did we beat them? 48—6! Decem- ber 22 surely was a day in W. H. S. that was enjoyed—it began our Christmas vacation. Think I’ll close and try to enjoy my rest. Love, Daisy. Westwood Junior-Senior High Feb. 1, 1931 Dear Margie, School again, but who cares? I don’t. Everyone trudged back to school on January 5. WTe beat the Hoo Hoo’s 17—15 in basketball on January 9. It surely was a close game. January 16 was a big day, too. First, it was the end of the semester and everyone handed in term papers with a big sigh of relief; then we plaved Vallejo De Molay that evening, and beat them 24—7; and after the game, the Sophomores gave a school party and everyone had a wonderful time. Lately everything is basketball, basketball. On the 23rd we had a basketball game with the Reno Antlers, here, and they beat us 31—19. Imagine our embarrassment! On the 30th we played the “Office” team and beat them. By the way, the Freshmen gave a private party on the 31st and from all reports they had a jazzy time. Well, hon, I’m getting sleepy, so adios. Daisy. 26
