14 The Chipmunk FOOTBALL GAMES The first game of the season was with the Alumni. The “grads” got together, worked out a few plays and with a line which greatly outweighed the High School and a back field made up of former stars, they came out witn a score of 6-0 in their favor. The following Saturday Chico came to Westwood. Chico had a very heavy line that battered dowm the High School forward wall, and a backlield that went through the holes for two touchdowns. Although Westwood put up a brave fight, the game ended in favor of Chico, 14-0. The Redding game was fast from the start to the finish. The “Lumberjacks” made the first two touchdowns, but after that the Shasta boys held like a stone wall, and drove down the field for two goals, getting one additional point on a convert when a W.H.S. man was off side. Then Hollis ran 65 yards to a touchdown, but failed to convert, and the game ended 13-12 in Shasta’s favor. The All-Star game was played instead of one with the Reno “Antlers”, who failed to appear. The All-Star team was a pick-up aggregation from about town of all the former football players of the W.H.S. The game was a good one, and even though the All-Stars had the disadvantage of being out of shape and were not well organized they put up a good fight. The score at the end of the game was West- wood 20, All-Stars 0. The Alturas game was played to a “shut-out”. The Modoc boys fought hard to push the Westwood boys back, but that was impossible. The “Lumberjacks.” clicked as one. The game ended, for the first time in many years of Westwood-Alturas rivalry, in Westwood’s favor, with a score of 12-0. The football game of most interest to W.H.S. every year is her “Big Game” with her traditional rival, Lassen. This year the West- wood varsity journeyed to Susanville, accompanied by every rooter who could find transportation. The game turned out to be a one-sided Curtis Lamson Hollis Prusia

13 The Chipmunk EIGHTH GRADE PRESIDENT BILLIE HENSEN: Will the meeting please come to order? May we have the secretary’s report for the past nine months? SECRETARY FLORENCE MILEY: Our class gave two candy sales this year to pay for our cut in the annual. Our English and Social Studies classes entertained the Student Body on February 19 by pre- senting a very interesting and well worked out play, “When Martha Comes Home.” We gave it in honor of the father of our country, George Washington. On April twenty ninth, in the afternoon, we presented a musical comedy, “Quinneane,” as an assembly program. We repeated it again that night for Open House and we are very proud to say that it was a huge success. PRESIDENT: Are there any corrections or additions to the minutes? BILLIE: What about those entertainments in class meetings? PRESIDENT: Yes. Are there any more additions? LOIS: Some of our boys were on the “miniature” football teams, weren’t they? They shouldn’t be forgotten, ‘cause some day they’ll be big huskies and play on the real team. PRESIDENT: Are there any more corrections? If not we will have the treasurer’s report now. TREASURER FLORENCE MILEY: From the first candy sale we re- ceived four dollars and fifty cents. From the second we received twyo dollars and twenty cents. We spent five dollars and sixteen cents for the class picture cut in the annual. Top Row—Elliot. J. Combero, lines, Denna, Williams, McRay, Brooks, Buroughs, Bates Yarborough. Second Row—P.

The Chipmunk 15 FOOTBALL (Continued) affair in favor of Lassen, but this does not mean that the Westwood boys did not give their opponents a hard, game fight. The smashing attacks of MacDowell and Terril for Lassen went through the West- wood line for repeated gains, but not without a struggle against both the line and backfield of W.H.S. The final score was 33 to 7. The last football event of the season was a no-score game with the Alumni on November 13.

The squad suffered badly from the loss of experienced football players, most of this year’s turnout being first year men. On top of this the team members suffered several injuries. Robert Allen, second year man, was out for some time on account of a badly iniured leg. He was replaced by Dick Mile.v. who filled the position well. Later Dick wras transfered to center, where he stayed till the end of the season. This was Dick’s first year, but he could make the center of the line hold like a stone wall. Also Lester Duer, receivine a fractured hand, had to sit on the side lines and watch for practically the full season. This was Ton Row—Coach Curtice, Atkins, Brown. Bickel.
