• South Fork High cancels graduation ceremony in 1926 (times-standard.com) — A century ago this week, Samoa firemen held a farewell banquet for their departing chief, highlighting the tight-knit community that once gathered in the town’s Blue Room. Archival Humboldt Times clips also recall 1926 county cattle statistics, Eureka crime reports, a failed bus bond vote, a new YMCA camp in Redway, and a chicken pox–driven graduation cancellation in Miranda.
