How will this year compare with others? Will it stand out? It should, because much time and labor have been spent in the accomplishment of things that tend to place our school on an equal with other high schools that stand for the very best. A much needed and desired addition to our school building is the new cafeteria. In constructing it, the plans of a cafeteria of a large high school in the state were consulted and modified to suit our particu- lar purpose. The hangings and colors used on the walls and furniture are very pleasing and satisfying to the eye. The chairs and tables which were made by the shop boys lend a cheerful and homelike air to the building. Besides the new cafeteria there have been improvements on the grounds which have added a hundred per cent to the school's appear- ance. Flowers, shrubs, and lawns have been planted according to the plans of a landscape gardener, and within a year our yard should be one of the most attractive in the state. The purchase of a five acre tract which lies in the back of the school has added materially to our athletic field. It is almost entirely enclosed by eucalyptus trees so has the appearance of a natural stadium. The boys are proud of their new field and it will certainly act as a stimulus to better athletics. Two cement tennis courts were also built this year and are enjoyed by both the students and the townspeople. Previous to this year no interest was shown in tennis as dirt courts do not stir up any enthusiasm. But everyone is playing this year and several promising players are being developed. There has been a decided increase in school activities this year which is a very good omen. Latin and Spanish Clubs have been organized through which the students are able to learn more about the respective languages and customs of the countries which they represent. A club that provided entertainment at various occasions for the townspeople as well as the school is Altenso, a girls' musical organization. Other very beneficial clubs are the Dramatic Club and the P. A. L., an organization which includes all of the girls of the school. In P. A. L. Students' Control was taken up in a very small degree. Let us hope that this will continue and enlarge next year, be- cause it teaches the students the sense of duty and loyalty. And speaking of loyalty, I might say, loyalty is the keynote of school activities. Every single student must be behind our teams, whether they be athletic or any other kind. Let's stand behind them as we know the communities of this district stand behind our school and support our activities.

Brief, yes, but what great changes have occurred in that time! When we started there were thirty-two of us. while now only seventeen will receive their diplomas in June. People tell us that we were scraggly, insignificant boys and girls when we came, but have grown to be quite presentable. We have worked hard and have learned to accept responsibility. We have entertained other classes and the entire school on various occasions, and in this way have acquired some of that social grace which is so necessary if one wishes to progress and be accepted by other people. We know how to play too, and there are enthusiastic supporters of every athletic game among our members. Most of us have carried heavy courses during our four school years and the cards of these students have seldom been marred by any thing less than a one minus. The majority of the members of this class are going on to school. Several will be in the University of California next year. others in Business College and so on, but wherever we shall be we each have a goal in mind and will be still working our hardest to reach there. So with this in our minds our parting from this building, these friends, is mixed with joy and sorrow. After working together for four years we have made many friends not only among ourselves, but with the teachers-and leaving them does not make us happy. But we are leaning toward the future-we are about to begin-fas the word Com- mencement implies. Next year holds for us new fields to explore, new joys to find, new friends to make and as we face next year we are happy in anticipating all of this. The friends we are leaving in this school will not be lost-they will still be interested and will see us and inquire how we are getting along. We shall return to visit and tell of our new experiences. We, the members of this class, shall meet frequently, for though the world looks large as one pores over an atlas. still it is sur- prising how frequently old friends are found and old friendships renew- ed as people go on. each traveling his own path. As the poet, Gay, said: We only part to meet again. We hope sometime to meet the men and women who have been our teachers during our high school course and tell them how truly grateful we are for the consistent patience they showed us and the oft repeated ideals which have actually made an impression. We have worked. but most of our progress is due to these teachers who had our interests al- ways so truly at heart. ' LA COPA DE ORO 15 Senior Class Will Be it known to all men that we, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-four, do hereby make this, our last will and testament: I, Eva Carlson, do will to Tom Brown my seat in the detention hall. It is the first seat in the second row in case he should lose himself in the maze. I, Dorothy Barbree, do hereby will my naturally curly hair and my pug nose to Pansy Bomar, a Junior of note who has neither of these traits of beauty, to Mr. Waibel will my list of tardy excuses, know- ing he will recognize them as old friends and keep them safe. I, Lavina Dani, do bequeath my vampish eyes to Louise Smith hoping that in the future her lil' angil will fall for her charms. I, Marcia Lander, will by ability of handling bugs without fainting to Josephine Arnold, and my skill in singing to Lila Young. I, Alma Jefford, do bequeath one dozen of my freckles to George Sargenti, hoping that they will lie as gracefully on his nose as they do on mine. I, Edwina McReynolds, do bequeath my Old Clothes Day costume to Miss Hawk, and my U. S. History Book to Mr. Fast, hoping he will cherish it tenderly. I, Carl Smith, do bequeath my smooth pompadour to Ernest Lane. knowing that then Miss Hawk will no longer have to smooth his unruly locks. ' I, Margaret Barbree, do will to Abe Hables my ever present Irish temperament, but not to be used by him until I shall have accustomed myself to do without it. To my sister Geraldine I will my orange stock- ings, hoping to keep them in the family. A I, Marie Madsen, will my ever present excuses for absence on Mon- day to anyone who needs three days to get ready for the week's work. I, Loyal Coats, in behalf of the state of Texas wish to leave behind me a touch of my southern drawl. I name Harry Redmond as the execu- tor to supervise this and see that all subjects of the High School in the generations to come shall not be cheated out of their portion of the will. I, Rubye Parsons, with clearer mind than usual do will to Howard Giacomazzi my perfect hand writingg to Grace Taylorrmy ability to successfully disagree. I, Earle Garner, do will to Bob Hamilton my wonder spectacles, hoping that they will enable him to see all geometry problems as clear- ly as they have me, and my knack in getting advertisements for the an- nual to anyone who is unfortunate enough-to be appointed Business Manager of theAnnual. With a remorseful heart I part with a dear treasure in leaving my this here to Warren Imwalle. I, Marie Lacrabere, leave my trick of hitting Mr. Waibel on the 16 LA COPA DE ORO shoulder, and getting by with it, to Leslie Behen. My happy smile and sparkling eyes I wish to leave with Ruth Parker. I, James McGowan, do bequeath my affectionate steadiness with one girl to Hubert Garner, and my School Savings Account to the stu- dent Body Treasury. I, Della Herbert, do bequeath my Spunky Ways to Marie Chiocca and my exceptional ability in sewing to Dorothy Baker. I, Rilla McReynolds, do bequeath to Alice Baker a little booklet which I have written, entitled How to Manage a Man Successfully. I, Edward Padgham, do will my little sweet voice to Eleanor Brownlee and my ability to walk about without knocking down the furniture I leave to John Leak. Signed and Sealed this seventh day of June, 1924. BK II' 214 Senior Class Prophecy King City, Calif. June 8, 1932 Dear Miss Graf: It is just eight years ago yesterday that our class received their diplomas from K. C. H. S. Goodness, how time has flown-it seems such a little time ago. But its true, for last night we held that reunion that we promised ourselves on Commencement night. We all missed you and I know you will want to hear what we are doing, so I shall quickly write it all down while it is still fresh in my mind, and Lefore Carl Smith comes to call for me. He has a great line of taxis and is giving us a sight-seeing tour of King City. I'll try to get some pictures to send you-you Wouldn't recognize the town-it's a city since oil was struck on the Lacrabere and Barbree ranches. Marie, you'll be interested to know, is living in France now-has a chateau of her own- and is now Frenchie indeed. But-how I do miss her here. She has been sitting for her portrait in Paris--and the artist is Rubye. Miss Weeks certainly started her out well--she's very popular in Paris art circles and has adopted many peculiar Bohe- mian ways. VVell- she dropped her work and she and Marie came over together. It goes without saying of course that Rilla and James are married and she bosses him around in her same old way. James is as meek as ever too-in fact they both look and act exactly as they used to. We were wrong when we supposed James would be a dentist-hes made quite a name for himself in athletics and is going to be in the Olympic games this fall. Pat came sauntering in as usual about fifteen minutes late- but was as undisturbed as usual. She went on with her typing, due to LA COPA DE ORO 17 Miss Knapp's influence, and now travels about demonstrating the mar- vels that can be accomplished on an Underwood-when one knows how. Marie Madsen and Alma came in together-still not separated after this long time. Marie is private secretary to the president of the Tynan Lumber Co. in San Francisco. She has mended some of her ways and asked me to be sure to tell you that she isn't absent from her work every Monday, as she used to be from school, because she couldn't stand to think of beginning the week until Tuesday. l imagine Alma had something to do with this reformation. She's a nurse-and talk about business-like! I hardly recognized her at first-her freckles are all gone. She discovered a freckle lotion in her medical laboratory that successully removed them. Of course you'll wan-t to know which ones are teachers. I should have told you right at first, Edwina is teaching physical education in the Berkeley High School. She didn't appear in evening dress- too effeminate for her. She wore a mannish suit, a stock and ground gripper shoes. She must be very successful, for her team in basketball won the state championship this year. Dorothy is teaching too-art, in Los Ange- les High School. But, now for a little gossip. She took us girls aside and told us she's to be married this summer. Another good teacher throwing away her career. She wants me to ask you Miss Wallace's addressg she wants her advice about a good cook-book. Miss Graf, if you ever have any legal transaction, Loyal is your man. I hear he has won many difficult cases and I frequently see him quoted in the San Francisco Examiner. He won't talk about it though- he's as modest as ever. Between courses--last night-Marcia sang for us. Her opera com- pany is in San Francisco right now and we're all going to-night to hear her. She has developed into a wonderful little song-bird,--and We all enjoyed hearing her as much as usual. I wish Miss McCully could hear about Edward Padgham. I-Ie's a Latin professor at U. C. and is said to be quite an authority on the sub- ject. He hasn't changed a bit-just looks a little more severe perhaps. I certainly thought that if any one would be a professor it would be Earl -but he's a Civil Engineer and had his pockets filled with note books and data just as he used to when he was Student Body president. Lavina Dani has taken up the work of Household Chemistry. She is employed in the laboratories of the Royal Baking Powder Company, experimenting on new recipes. Della has decided to try recipes too- but in the home. All we could get her to talk about was how Bill likes his steak and how she makes hot biscuits every morning for breakfast. She is as young looking as ever and has the same cute King- Tut bob. EVA. P. S. All seventeen wish to be remembered to you.

' f fg N ln - Cl MQ 'QQ LA com nr: oao Junior Class History After three months vacation, during which time we 'had all made up our minds to mend our underclassmen ways and lto enter our Junior year with fitting dignity and decorum, we Juniors returned to school in August, 1923. At first we found it difficult to remember that we were grown-up and dignified, but as the year has advanced some high standards to equal, but now feel sure from the general ver- rest of the school looks toward us for models of behavior. In athletics we can proudly lay claim to many honors. John Leak, Bob Hamilton, Teddy Bane, Chauncey Brunetti, Warren Im- walle and Ronald Russell were all on the first team in football. On the Girls' Basketball Team Charlotte Bruce played forward and Joy Mansfield and Elsie Giacomazzi acted as substitutes. The boys in our class are not athletes in one line alone but are out for every sport and have made good in everything. Teddy, Bob, Warren, John Leak and Chauncey were all members of the first team in Boys' Basketball and formed a team that was invincible in interclass games. In track our boys were equally ambitious and successful, three of them, Bob, Chauncey and Warren, taking several first and second places at the C. C. A. L. Meet. Our interest in athletics has not prevented us from doing other things that have been praised. We furnished the VVashi11gton-Lincoln program and after that began the preparation for the event to which we had looked forward all year-our Junior Play. We knew We had some high standards to equal, but now feel sure from the general Ver- dict that our attempts were not in vain and that Clarence will stand out as an event in King City High School dramatics. As a class we wish to take this opportunity to thank Miss Geneve Wallace, our class teach- er, for her consistent help in everything we have done this year and particularly for her clever coaching of Clarence, which made it the success it was. There is one big event remaining on the calendar for us this year. We intend to give a Junior Prom that will justify the opinion that this is the event of the year. We are putting our heads together to make the Seniors remember it as the most enioyable affair of their high school days. As the year draws to a close we are beginning to realisfe that next year we must accept the responsibility of Seniors and in school activities and in our studies must not fall short of the standards ex- pected of that class. We are all hoping that none of our class will be left behind. We have the ability to do many things to bring great- er recognition to our school and we are going to make use of that ability.

The Sophomore class consisted of thirty-six members, making this the largest class in the high school.

Besides standing high in our studies We have taken the leading part in social affairs. September eighth we assisted in giving a reception. At different dates we gave luncheons to visiting teams. As money was needed in our treasury, we undertook to sell tickets for a special picture show from which we cleared sixty-one dollars and thirty nine cents. This enabled us to buy six beautiful flower bowls for the cafeteria, and also to entertain the school at a party given in the gymnasium April nineteenth. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with the class colors of old rose and silver. The evening was spent in playing games suitable to the Easter season. Each guest was a recipient of artistic favors. Many valuable prizes were Won by the intelligent guests. Everyone enjoyed the delicious ice cream and cookies which were served before the midnight hour. The annual Christmas program was given by the Sophomores December twenty-third. The plays and recitations caused much Taugh- ter and applauding, but possibly the best part of it was the arrival of Santa Claus and the favors consisting of candy and oranges which he brought to all present. In one corner of the auditorium stood a beautiful Christmas tree which was decorated with colored lights, cranberries, pop-corn and other Christmas tree decorations. The necessarv fund for the entertainment was raised by our usual means of pie and candy sales. In class activities we hold our own. The girls upheld the class in all games of the season. The boys represented our class Well in basket- ball, football, baseball, and track events. i LA COPA DE URU 34 LA COPA DE ORO Freshman Class History The Freshman Class came into being on the 13th day of August, 1923. We were forty-four in number, green as the grass is out in the wide, open spaces, and about as self-confident as calves at round, up time. Although we received two new members during the year, our number gradually dwindled to thirty-three by spring. Life in High School for the first few weeks was one continual round of don'ts and do's. High School customs were new to us, differing widely in many respects from the customs of the gram- mar school, and traditions were unknown to us. Early in October, however, We were royally entertained by the upper classes at a Fresh- man Reception which consisted of a program, games, dancing, and -eats. The Freshman class presented for its stunt, a trained ani- mal act, with Dorothy Baker as trainer. Twelve of our members reported for duty on the football squad. and nearly all of them practiced all season, showing their willingness and determination to do something for the team, even though they knew that they would get no chance to play in a game. Three of the boys, however, Cassin, Soberanes and Walker, made first squad. Sober- anes played regularly throughout the season. Cassin played in most of the games, and injuries alone prevented Walker from doing like- wise. In basketball the class team defeated the regular light-weight team in practice game. This augurs well for the future of King City High's Basketball teams, for this zealous light-weight team lost only one game during the season. In the intramural track meet, the Freshman-Junior team easily defeated the Sophomore-Senior team, while in the varsity track, Leslie t Abe J Hables looks like a sure-fire winner. He won both the 880 yard and mile run at Santa Cruz, and ran his 220 in the relay with credit. Barring unforeseen developments, Abe will some day make a really great runner. In baseball, scholastic requirements kept two of our class off the squad, leaving Henry the only Freshman on the team. Next year we hope to see those grades up so that we can put forth our full athletic Strength. LA COEAJQE KORO LA COPA DE ORO 5 ome, sclno ols have noblepupils.

The Council represents the students of the King City Union High School as the Congress of the United States of America represents the citizens of the various states, being elected from the Student Body at large for a term of one year. In matters of student control, discipline, financial, athletics or social affairs, the Council Weighs and decides what is or is not for the benefit of the school and then pre- sents these matters to the Student Body for due consideration. In other words the Council is the advisory board of the Associated Student Body which sits in judgment on matters involving the good name of the King City Union High School. All organizations must be recognized by the Student Council before becoming a party to the Student Activities. This year has been a busy one for the Council and some serious business has been before the Council and settled quite satisfactorily to all concerned. The biggest thing accomplished this year ani per- haps the most beneficial to all concerned with the King City High, is the fact that our dear Old High is now a member of the California Scholarship Federation, a state and nation Wide organization. We who leave this august body wish the succeeding members of the Council as much benefit as we have derived in being members. , LA com DE oRo 294 Those who have taken the examination and Who are nov' mem- bers of El Junto are Melvin McReyno1ds, Marcia Lander. James McGowan, Louise Schmidt, Elsie Giacomazzi, Ernest- Lane, Marjorie Armstrong, Charlotte Bruce and Charles Carlson. ' ,li 244 El Junto, the Spanish club, organized under the leadership of Miss Margaret McCully, held its first initiation December 1, 1923. The charter officers and members Were: President, Rilla McReynolds: Vice- president, Gladys Garnerg Secretary, Kenneth Eadeg Treasurer, Margaret Barbreeg members, Miss Margaret McCully, Edwina M0Rey- nolds, Pansy Bomar, Ethel Melendy, Joseph Garner and Eva Carlson. ' Membership to this club may be obtained only through an exami- nation, prepared by the officers of the club, which must be passed by ninety per cent, through election to the club by its members, and by having a grade of 2-or above in daily class Work. 30 LA coPA DE oao ALTENSO CLUB The Altenso Club was organized the first Week in January. 1924, under the leadership of Miss Weeks. It is really the nucleus for a Girls' Glee Club and We are all hoping that it will develop into that next year and enable more girls to enjoy the opportunities it offers. The membership is made up entirely of Senior girls, Dorothy Barbree, Pres., Marcia Lander, Sec'y., Eva Carlson, Margaret Barbree and Edwina McReynolds. They have been very generous in entertaining both the school and townspeople. They participated in the Oriental Day program at the Women's Civic Club Where, in Chinese costume, they sang a group of three songs. This program Was so Well arranged that the girls Were enthusiastically invited to come again soon. iw, . v- '---- Y - 1 A movement toward Student Control was begun by the girls of the physical education class at the instigation of Miss McCully and Miss Weeks. The girls organized themselves into a club, drew up a constitu- tion, and elected Edwina McReynolds, president, Marcia Lander. vice- president: Eva Carlson, secretary-treasurer and Edna McKinsey, yell and song leader. The name P. A. L., players athletic league, was chosen. Any girl who is in good standing and attends this high school may belong by paying the dues required. The organization aims to discuss and decide all matters concerning girls in: athletics, discipline, entertain- ment and social service. Among the honors which P. A. L. has received is the election of president for the Interscholastic Federation of Girls' Leagues. P. A. L. elected Marjorie Armstrong. LA com DE ono 31 The organization of a Dramatic Club was another interesting development this year. The Senior English class, which consisted of Loyal Coats, Carl Smith, Rubye Parsons, Pansy'Bomar, Eva Carlson, Marie Lacrabere, Edwina and Rilla McReynolds, met with Miss Graf and discussed the possibility of organizing a dramatic club. So much enthusiasm was shown that a club for dramatics was organized at once. From the first we decided not to try to memorize the parts, but merely to have them typed so they could be easily handled, read them through once or twice, and then try our individual originality in interpreting the roles. Criticism is offered by the group which is acting as audience, so in this way each member haswthe opportunity of taking active part in the work at each meeting. I rr The students were very much puzzled and surprised one Friday by finding a huge question mark on the bulletin board with simply the words, What is it?-Jan. 21, 1924-Bring your nickels and find out! The interest and excitement was brought to a higher tension when on the following Tuesday their eyes met an odd sign: It was a secret but now it's out. And it was. It's Out was a new addition to the great family of journals and was published and printed for the first time on January 21 by the Senior English Class. The first edition was dedi- cated to Professor Wm. C. Waibel in honor of his birthday. The Junior class edited the final number of the paper and bent their efforts to add some new features. They were successful, for the full page of ca:-toons drawn by William Luckett was a complete surprise X EFX .C i 3 ' - 32 LA COPA DE oRo p ' Dramatics CLASS PROGRAMS We have a rather nice custom of commemorating the very signifi- cant holidays by appropriate programs, each prepared by a different class. The Seniors chose Thanksgiving Day and presented The Courtship of Miles Standish in tableau form Wednesday afternoon, November 28, 1923. Rubye Parsons was chosen to read the poem while other members of the class acted the parts and spoke Whereever conversation appeared in the poem. Several songs which fitted into the action of the playlet were introduced. At the conclusion of the program Margaret Barbree read Riley's When the Frost is on the Punkin in pianologue style and Rilla McReynolds told the story of Chopin's Nocturne and played it on the piano. The Christmas program was given by the Jolly Sophomores. For weeks they had been selling candy and carefully hoarding their money, so we knew that something very nice was being planned for all of us. They had prepared two short plays Which were full of the Christmas spirit and the joy of giving, and the program was very well balanced, having humorous readings to counteract the pathos. On February 21, 1924, the third annual holiday celebration was given by the Junior Class. On this occasion the pleasant memories of our two immortal heroes, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, were brought to our minds. A short act taken from The Copperhead, the well-known play by August Thomas. took us back to Civil VVar days, of hatred and sorrow. The Juniors had shown very good taste in the selection of their material and the next number was a short portion taken from John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln. Teddy's interpretation of Lincoln deserves especial mention, for it was excep- tionally good. A little nose putty and a white wig transformed Bob Hamilton into George Washington in a scene from Percy Mackaye's Washing- ton, the Man Who Made Us. The night before the crossing of the Delaware he met with Alexander Hamilton fJohn Leakh to hear the reports from his supporting officers. THE VAUDEVILLE No I can't do it, I have to practice my part in the vaudeville, was the common cry about school for several weeks early in the spring. All the clubs of the school were uniting their efforts to pro- duce a big show and make some money for their separate treasuries. In the sewing rooms we caught glimpses of Spanish, Colonial and Hawaiian costumes, while Eva Carlson was following the teachers around in a most mysterious manner. We were all curiosity and ex- l' A LA COPA DE ORO 33 pected to be highly entertained, nor were we a bit disappointedg for the Spanish play, Castillos de Torres Nobles, which was directed by Rilla McReynolds under the general supervision of Miss McCully, had us leaning forward for more. However we were not allowed to long remain in Spain, for the haunting melodies of Hawaii were floating in from off stage and the Altenso girls came dancing out in the native costume. They sang three Hawaiian songs and immediatelv apneaw-pf! again, this time in sport costumes, and sang several hits from Topsy and Eva, Who would think that these jazzy chorus girls could ngyt appear in old-fashioned costumes and sing the songs of our grand- mothers in the way in which they were sung years ago? The Boys' Glee Club had prepared Drink to Me Only VVith Thine Eyesi' and Sunrise and You. The teachers were still worried. Why had Eva followed them about so consistently? She must have had a reason. There seemed to be much confusion back of the curtaing maybe this was it. The curtain rose, yes, there was Eva, dressed as a typical old maid school teacher with an unruly bunch of youngsters. CLARENCE For several days after April 11, whenever two students met, one would hear such expressions as: Joy is a real little actress, isn't she? No one could have played Clarence better than Bob did-he simply fitted it. Teddy was even better than usual, I thought. How does he do it? I-Ie's perfectly at home on the stage. 'Without exception every conversation was ended with- But what's the use of talking about each one when they were all so very good. THE BOOMERANG The other day I noticed Loyal sitting in a corner of the quad all alone, apparently mumbling to himself. I caught a few words which sounded like, Now say ah-h-h. Now say one-two-three. It's too bad these Seniors are so hard-worked, thought I. I wonder if they're all going to act like that before long. You look more beautiful to me each time I see you, I heard Earl say to Edwina as I passed them perched in the passageway. So that's the way it was affecting Earl. One would have thought he would have been more careful, for not ten feet away were Dorothy and Rubye, both reading from a paper-covered tan book. I know all of acts one and two, Dorothy was saying. Thank Heaven for that-it offered the solution. They were merely studying their parts in The Boomerang which they were to present on May 9. 34 LA COPA DE oao Society The social life of every High School must be properly ushered in by the reception given to the Freshman Class. The upper classes of K. C. U. H. S. used imagination and originality to make this year's re- ception a jolly, clever affair. The early half of the evening was devoted to stunts, the Seniors opening the program with a most original Goop dance. Seven Senior girls in weird costumes executed a grotesque dance which kept the audience in gales oflaughter. The Junior stunt was a mack fgnc act in two parts-a dreamy waltz by Ronald Russell and his partner, and a religious devotional dance by Teddy Bane. The Sophomore stunt was a clever act in pantomine, accompanied by a reading. In order to show the rest of the school that they too could help to entertain, the Freshman class put on a circus act of trained bears. After the stunts were completed, everybody enjoyed a dance and refreshments and thus ended a most enjoyable Freshman Party. If you missed the Athletic Dance given in the Grammar School Auditoriumon Oct. 13 for the benefit of the Athletic Fund, you missed the most successful dance of the year so far. Everybody was there dressed in his best, the hall was most artistically decorated in blue and white, the music was good, a delicious supper was served by the girls of the P. A. L., in fact it was a delightful party. The next contribution to the social life of the school was by the Seniors. Invitations were sent out for a Costume Valentine Party. For days ahead of time everyone was planning and working on his costume and the gay scene that the gymnasium presented the evening of the party justified all the preparations for it. We had dashing toreadors, fierce, bold pirates, coquettish Spanish senoritas and gypsies, and even Mr. Waibel was very gay and frisky in a blue and yellow yama-yama suit. The Seniors had made the hall gay in red and white, they had many jolly games and they ended a most successful evening with chocolate and doughnuts which tasted just right. VVhen we heard that the Sophomores were selling tickets to a show we all wondered about the purpose of their new money-making scheme. Our curiosity ended when we received invitations to a party to be given April 19. The entertainment committee had certainly been work- ing hard to find clever games, which kept things moving at a lively rate all evening. Delicious ice cream and cakes and favors gave the final touch to a jolly time. What kind of a dress are you getting for the Prom, is the ques- tion of absorbing interest these days. The Juniors are promising us a good time and we feel sure we'll have it. From hints we can gather that they are going to make this one of the most delightful Junior Proms K. C. High has ever known. With the conclusion of this affair will end a most enjoyable social year. LA COPA DE oRo 35 Some EN7entS OUR FIRST LECTURE On January 10, 1924, Dr. J. W. Van Kirk, in the interests of a World Peace, spoke before the Student Body. He had attended some of the meetings of the League of Nations and gave the Student Body his opinion that the coming generation will unite in a world-wide organi- zation for Peace. At the end of the speech, he exhibited a flag of his own creation which he said was designated to represent a World Peace organization. ARBOR DAY On Arbor Day, 1924, each class was given a tree to plant. The Seniors planted a cedar tree and dedicated it to their class teacher, Miss Graf. The Juniors were given two smaller cedars which they plant- ed in front of the school. One was dedicated to the President of the School Board, Mr. Allen, and one to their class teacher, Miss Wallace. An ash tree was planted by the Sophomores and with it, a small glass bottle filled with the names of the members of the class. The Freshmen also planted an ash tree and dedicated it to their class. Each class had its own program for the planting of trees and from all corners of the schoolyard came snatches of song and voices reading poems. ' OLD CLOTHES DAY Wednesday, the ninth of April, 1924, was the long-looked-for day for the students of the King City High School. Old men, Sally of our Alley, Rose of Washington Square, farmers, old children grown young in short dresses and knee pants, clowns and niggers loitered here and there in the rooms, on the school grounds and in the halls. Sad the fate of those who failed to dress up for they were given a nice shower bath. Among the 'tcasualtiesn for not rigging up Were: Della Her- bert, Alice Baker, Elizabeth Shuey, lone Pierce, Alice Schmidt and Mr. 'Warner THE FASHION SHOW Miss Wallace and the girls of the sewing ,classes of the High School arranged the Fashion Show for the Women's Civic Club on March 5, 1924. Sport suits, afternoon dresses, dinner dresses, evening dresses and hats were displayed. The clothes which were worn were those made by the school girls and some were borrowed from Mrs. Lotz', the H-A-F Co., and the Mercantile Co. The models were: Joy Mansfield, Della Herbert, Grace Gould, Rubye Parsons, Marcia Lander, Constance Stalk- er, Dorothy Baker, Alice Baker and Marie Lacrabere. Gertrude Bengard announced the models as they appeared. The girls from the sewing classesf particularly Rubye. Marie, Marcia, Dorothy and Alice Baker: won much applause when they appeared in the dresses whir-h they had made.

Don't try to kid me now-I never got a letter in my life. No, I'm not kidding you. Here it is, a pretty pink envelope and everything. Hank, Kitt's friend, tossed the letter over his bunk to him. For a long While the letter lay Where it had fallen, but finally Kitt Carlson gathered up courage enough to pick it up. His hand was trem- blingg the letter shook so that he could hardly read the address. He gazed at itg he turned it over and overs he read and re-read the address to make sure that it was really MR. KITT CARLSON, Co. C., 9th Inf., A. E. F., in France that was written across the front. Finally he decided that it was really his. Hank, you aren't playing a joke on me? Kitt spoke with a slight tremor in his voice. My God, Kitt! What's the matter with you? It was awful to see a man that had been brave enough to acquire the title, Dare-Devil Kitt, shaking and pale merely because he had received a letter. My mother, Kitt's voice was steady now, but his face was still wan. He continued in a low voice, as if wishing to be heard by himself only: My mother was the only person that eve: wrote me a letter, except- Kitt's voice was almost inaudible, except one. My mother is dead now and-the other -The bugle sounded a call to arms. Company C was quickly formed. on the parade grounds in front of the barracks. Right-by-squads! shouted the Captain, his order was repeated by the lieutenants. March! He cut it short. Company C moved off to join the others. Kitt and Hank marched side by side on their third march to the front line trenches. The company hadn't gone far when the Captain gave Route step, and immediately the boys be- gan talking, laughing, singing, smoking and joking. lt was a brave band -some had proved that: others would as soon as they got a chance at the enemy. The bravest of this band was, according to all reports, Dare-Devil Kitt. His bravery, his utter lack of fear had prefixed these Words to his name. In Hank's opinion it was not enough-there should be another Word added and that word should be Fool, For he had Won that, too, through Wild, foolhardy raids, most of which he Went on alone. Some-times, however, he was accompanied by others when he left the American lines, but seldom accompanied by any on his return. It was said that a mortal could not live Where Dare-Devil Kitt led. Kitt, I hope you don't start night-sniping this time. Stay out of No Man's Land as much as possible. If you don't- Hank got no further with his advice that was a hundred times old. LA COPA DE ORO 39 If I don't some one will put me out? Kitt laughed a short mirth- less laugh. I've been looking for the guy that can do that. There's plenty of 'em that can do it. Kitt, you ain't as large as a minute. I out-weigh you by forty pounds and I can handle a dozen like you, but even at that, there's many a Hun that I don't care to meet. Kitt, you've been lucky, damn lucky, that's all, but Dare Devil Kitt luck doesn't last always! Hank stopped because he expected Kitt's usual outburst when given advice, but instead Dare-Devil Kitt laughed. 'tWhy don't you read that letter? Give me your gun, I'll carry it. Hank saw that something was wrong. He surmised the letter to be the cause. Not now. I want to wait until I'm alone-with you. Kitt glanced around to see if anyone had heard him or noticed his embarrassment. He didn't know why, but he was more afraid of what that letter might say, than he was of what that cannon, rumbling in the distance, might do. That means that you may not get a chance to read it for quite a while. Hank, old pal, the first time we are alone I'm gonna read it, but not until then. I--I-can't here. Kitt was decided. As the rumble of those great guns grew more audible, the jovial spirit that was so manifest earlier that day died down. Those that had not been to the front before were awe-stricken, those that knew what lay before them were filled with dread. But Company C marched on, nearer and nearer the place of destruction, between those massive jaws that were held open to receive it. The Tommies held it open on the left and the French Blue Devils on the rightg if either gave away the mouth would instantly close, crushing the Yanks within it. Company C, with others of the 9th Infantry, marched in on its way to relieve the 23rd Division which had driven itself into the enemies' line like a wedge. The remaining distance was not 'long but very rough and dangerous-the enemy might open up any minute. Almost instantly the sun dropped out of sight. Twilight faded rapidly into utter darkness. Not a star could be seen through the low-hanging clouds. Suddenly lightning began to flash, illuminating the rugged battle-field with the brilliancy of a king's ballroom. Thunder spoke with a deafening voice. Clap after clap burst forth, making the roar of the French 75 seem insignificant when compared to that Heavenly battery. The Battery of God was no respecter of persons. It bombarded Americans and Germans alike, casting down on them a flood of color- less blood. For two hours the cannonading lasted. The Americans needed a few hours more to conceal the movements of the Yanks, so the American battery opened up to supply artificially what nature had stopped. 40 LA COPA DE ORO At dawn the 9th Infantry was in the front lines trenches, waiting for the signal to go over the top. Hank and Kitt stood side by side, with rifle in hand, waiting for that signal. At 8:15 a. m. the American ar- tillery ceased its roar-this was the signal. A long, thin line of leter- mined Americans went over the top, rising up out of the earth. NVhen this line had lost itself in the barrage, another went forth and when it was Wrapped from view by the dense smoke, another followed, then another, and another. The Yanks rushed in on the enemy with yells and Whoops that would make a Comanche ashamed of himself. The fight was short but sharp. The Huns gave Way, but not without leaving their marlz Many Americans fell, some Wounded, and many dead. Among the Wounded was Kitt, pinned to the ground by a German bayonet. He had met the guy that could do it. As soon as the Germans were on the run, Hank turned back to search for his pal. He scanned each pale face that lay in his path. novv and then stopping to roll some fallen comrade over so that he might see his face. Each time he held his breath, lest it be Kitt. But each time it proved to be another, which Was some relief, though they, too, were his friends and comrades. Just when he was beginning to hope that after all he was mistaken about Kitt's having fallen-he saw him. Things Went black for a moment, then he rushed over to him. He stepped on the dead as he Went but he did not know it, he knevv nothing, saw nothing but Kitt, lying pinned to the ground. Kitt, Kitt, I told you you were- A fool, Kitt put in with just the trace of a smile. But now I can hear the letter-read it now. Hank took it Without saying a Word and read it through slofvly as Kitt listened with eyes fastened on his pal's face. After a moment: Hank, here's where you and I take a different road, but before I go West I must answer that letter. Got a pencil? I'll Write on the back of the letter. Hank gave him a pencil and he Wrote painfully With his free arm: Dear Girl: That little poem, 'It Might Have Been', comes to me now. That's all there's left for me to say. Had I not believed that liar-it can never be, for now I'm dyingf I must hurry or I cannot finish. I love you, and goodbye! YOUR KITTY' Give this to her, Hank. Give me your hand, buddy. Don't cry- leave that to the children. Do something for me--pull out this bayonet. My God, Kitt, I can't-you'd die! 'Tm dying any way, but I hate to die pinned to the ground like a rat. Hank understood, so drew the saw-like knife from him. Kitt smiled, relaxed, and spoke no more. LOYAL COATS. LA COPA DE oRo A 41 Timber fl-lmieves A roar! A crash! A bang, and then a low, steady rumble. Oh, boy! we're nearing the lumber camp, just listen to the noise, shouted Roy, trying to make himself heard above the steadily increas- ing noise. Roy and Elsie were on their way to the Big Trees Lumber Camp of which their father was manager. An epidemic of small pox had broken out among the children in the little town of Los Burros, so their school was closed a week early. As their excitement increased, so did their footsteps and in a few moments the children came in sight of the camp. Men were hurrying to and fro and big logs could be seen rushing down the river. Oh, he will be drowned! screamed Elsie as a man who was rid- ing on a log disappeared from sight in the swift water. Roy laughed, and a moment later the man re-appeared. There's Dad standing over by the chuteg let's run to surprise him. The two children crept quietly up to where their father was standing. Now, one-two-three-B-o-o-ol Their father whirled around and gathered the two children up in his arms. VVhy kiddies, Dad didn't expect you here for another week. Did you come all alone? Yes, all alone! Are you surprised? Smallpox! School let out! Glad we came? clamored the two voices as each tried to tell their father everything, before the other could. VVhew! Only one thing at a time, kiddies, that was sort of a jumble. Let's go over to the house and see mother and then you can tell us everything. Roy and Elsie each grasped one of his hands and together they went a short distance to a pretty little cottage. At the door stood their mother, Waiting to receive them. That evening the children popped corn and toasted marshmal- lows while their mother and father sat over by the table talking. Once in a while Roy caught snatches of their conversation and it sounded so interesting that he strained his ears in order to hear more, but Elsie was too much absorbed in the art of browning her marshmallow to listen. At nine o'clock Roy and Elsie went to their bedrooms and crawled into bed. Mrs. Morton tucked them in, kissed them goodnight. turned off the lights, closed the doors, and went slowly downstairs. A few moments elapsed and then Elsie heard her door creak and light foot- steps. It's me, Elsie. I've got somethin' terrible important to tell you, Whispered Roy as he perched on the edge of the bed. Lis'en, when we were poppin' corn I heard Dad talkin' about gg LA COPA DE oao - somebody that's been takin' lumber, and he's terrible worried. There's a bunch of men that have been cutting down the large timber and shippin' it out and Dad an' the other fellows can't catch them at it. Why can't we help Dad? Tomorrow we'll tell the folks that we are going to go out and look for strawberries and flowers and instead of doing that we'll look for the timber thieves. We'll try anyway. Goodnight, sis, don't forget to crawl out of bed early so we can leave before, it gets too hot, whispered Roy before he made slow, quiet progress back to his room. A board creaked, Horrors! Did Mother and Dad hear it. With a sigh of relief Roy finished his journey back to his room. The next morning two rosy-checked children were up and dressed before breakfast. You're up early, kiddies. And what's the program for today? said Mr. Morton as he fondly rumpled Elsie's bobbed hair. We're going to pick strawberries so Mama can make. us a pie, said Elsie. HAH right, but don't go. too far away from camp. There's danger of getting lost among those big trees, said their mother. After breakfast. was over and Elsie had helped her mother wash the dishes, she and Roy started toward the forest with buckets in their hands in which to put the big red strawberries which grew wild in the forest. So absorbed did the children become in picking the berries and running from patch to patch that they did not notice the direction they had gone. When they had their buckets full and had eaten all they wanted, they started for home. They laughed and talked as they walked in the direction they thought they had come, but ing reality' they were getting deeper and deeper into the forest. Roy, I'm tired and I don't think this is the right. way home, said Elsie when she was tired and hot. from walking. I was beginning to think the same thing, sis, but I didn't want to tell you because I thought you'd be scared. Pm not a fraid cat and don't you dare call me one. Far in the distance could he heard the thump-thump-thunfp of an axe. Hooray, this is the right trail after all! Just hear the axeg why, We're right close to home, shouted Roy' and then he began to run. Elsie followed her brother, panting as she ran. Finally they came to a clearing in the woods and Roy and Elsie both stopped very quickly- This wasn't their home-where were they? Say, Elsie, I'll bet this is the place where those fellows steal the lumber, said Roy. Let's creep around here quiet and find out. He He caught her hand in his and together they dodged and crept between bushes and trees. In a short time they came to a cabin. You stay here, Elsie, and Iill creep up to that window. Stay- out of sight, warned Roy. LA COPA DE QRO 43 Elsie watched her brother creep slowly toward the cabin. He peered in the window but quickly jumped back and listened through a crack in the wall. In a few minutes he came back to where Elsie was waiting. Sis, ther-e's three men in there an' they're plannin' to make a big haul from Dads timber tonight, We've got to get back and tell the men. How were they to get back home when they had lost all Sense of direction ? Can't we follow the river and find our home? Why in the world didn't We think Of that befOTe? I sure am ashamed of getting lost and then not being able to find out a way to get home. Let's be on our way. Just as dusk was falling, two tired, hungry, and dirty children burst into their home. Merciful heavens, where have you been? Father 'Was just getting ready to start a searching party after you, cried Mrs. Morton. Don't get a searching party for us, but for those lumber thieves. rThey're going to make a raid on Redwood Point tonight. We got lost and happened to run into their camp, gasped Roy, all in one breath, That night, some very surprised lumber thieves were caught and 'taken to the jail at Los Burros, The next evening Mr. Morton returned to his home. Well, well, Dad sure is proud of his children. It took you two to -find the thieves and catch them with the goods. 'We've been trying 'to corner them for 'weeks and have never been able to.

I just had the nicest time at Mis' Brigg's tea-party this afternoon the flurried, straggly-haired Mis' Newcome announced, when she dropped in at the Club last night. That new Mrs. Bart was there, wearing a new hatg of course dears, it was adorable! Her nephew came in at this point to say that the car was broken and wouldn't be back till late. Not till ten? Dear me, well it was running all right when we came up just now. I'll order my coffee now, but I did want to go home at nine. You say it's raining and blowing out of doors? I'1l drink it now and after it stops blowing I'll walk home. Mrs. Bart's new hat? Oh yes, I saw one in a window down-town that was nearly like it. It was just the shape she had. I don't remember the nameg it had a fruit store on one side. If its still there we can price it. I wish I could telephone and have my rubbers sent. And I'm sure I leit the window open. I must tell the maid to close it and send my rubbers. I'm always afraid of burglars. If they're not in the closet they're probably behind the door or under my bed. Aren't those two dear canaries sweet? And who gave the new goldfish? I suppose they sing in the mornings. Don't they look sweet swimming? You saw a rat in your hotel-room? Oh my! Why don't you tell the manager to come and see about it? They usually like cheese, but if he doesn't offer to set the trap for you I should just give him poison. Manners have changed, so he probably won't be so courteous as some hotel managers I have known. I'd try him with a little bacon, if you don't like poison. I just received a picture postcard from my niece who works in New York-Grant's Tomb. She sent a high building before and a park with a squirrel. I don't like the building at all, I should have liked it better if the squirrel were on it. It was such a cute thing. He must have been very great to have such a nice tomb. Your radiator makes noises? Not the steam coming in either? A cold metallic sound, wasn't it? I just know how it was, dearie. I had one like that too. They're so annoying. The manager should attend to it. They are so bothersome. The flurried and flustered Miss Newcome fussed away to phone about her rubbers and met the motoring Miss Benny. Hello my dear. My nephew just told me the car was out of order and I am going to phone for my rubbers. Your new coat is darling. I suppose they do get out of order. It ought to be thrown in the junk heap. Yes, I like it, the belt-so cute! My nephew says a valve needs grinding and the belt tightened too. Motors are so mechanical. My nephew says they're enough to drive a mechanic crazy. You must know lots about them. I'll have to phone and have them sent. Well goodbye, dear. PANSY D. BOMAR.

CARL SMITH- 45 LA COPA DE ORO They Didnit Bite VVillie, the freckled and red-haired little orphan boy at Jensen's, went fishing one sunny June morning. He started out dressed as usual in an old straw hat, a blue calico shirt, and a pair of overalls that were faded from many washings. He was carrying his usual equipment, a fishing pole and a can of angle-worms. His faithful dog, Pep, followed him like a guardian. The day was extremely wlarm and Willie kicked up the dust with his bare toes as he Lrudged along. Leaving the road, he followed a rugged old trail that led to the edge of a brook. He sat on a large rock under a wide-spreading oak tree, baited his hook, flung it into the water and waited until some curious old fish would come up to investigate the queer maneuvers of the wriggling angle-worm. As he patiently waited, he looked around and saw a little winding pathway leading from the tree trunk into the woods. He was having no luck. The path looked inviting, so he followed it and as he walked along, little squirrels and other forest folk came out from behind shrubs or trees, peeped at him, then scampered away to their burrows. When he came to the end of the trail, Willie found himself in front of a steep cliff. He might as well go back, but as he turned to go he saw a little door in the side of the cliff. He gently and cautiously pushed it open and entered. He found himself in a large room exquisitely decorated with tapes- tries, beautiful oil paintings and even jewels. At the opposite end of the room stood a beautiful lady who, as Willie went toward her, brush- ed 'her sunny golden hair from her face and smiled at him. She asked Vfillie what he wanted, and as his walk had tired him he stammered: I wanta-wanta drink. She gave him some ice-cold water and placed some delicious food before him. He ate and drank eagerly while she waited upon him with her snow-white hands. When Willie had been shown everything, the beautiful lady sat down in a chair and began to bemoan her fate. There was a sad look in her eyes when she told Willie that the cave belonged to a gang of thieves who were keeping her a prisoner. She had tried to escape once, but had been brought back by one of the guards stationed in the for- est. She could not begin to understand how Willie had escaped them. Just as she finished telling her story, a fierce looking man entered by the secret door and flew into a rage when he saw Willie. He roughly pulled a tapestry from the wall and revealed another secret door. Willie was blindfolded, pushed through the door, and felt himself going down, down, down-Willie sat up with a start, rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found himself sliding from the rock upon which he had been sitting. He took up his fishing pole, called Pep, and started for home, saying: Gee, what a dream! ELSIE GIACOMAZZI. LA COPA DE ORO 47 The Prison of Knowledge In a beautiful, fair country there is a prison, which some think the most disagreeable place possible. The inmates work from eight- thirty till three-thirty, and if their efforts are not shown they must work half an hour longer. The head keeper of this terrible prison is a very capable man whose endeavors to bring the convicts to the highest standard of Americanism are all unappreciated, except by a few. He works from morn to night in ever constant thought of his charges. Just before the noon hour all must participate in some sort of physical education. The keeper of the boys' ward, known as Pop, has the hardest time of all. It is Pop, did you take my shoes? Pop, come here and unlock my locker. Hey, Pop! Did I check my towel? But he seems to survive through it all and finally all are assembled for roll call. Naturally, the girls do not cause their care-takers so much trouble, but occasionally there is a disturbance made about not being allowed to wear silk stockings during gymnasium period. Once in a great While the members are given a treat by being allowed to witness a fight in which two girls take part. The champion, Slim, has not yet met her equal and is obtaining a record as a great scrapper. As a variation, when the Spring fever has attacked the prisoners almost every one of the classes is given the privilege of helping the gardner pull Weeds. Of course they all like this, as they are never entirely sure of their lessons. If sent to detention five times for misconduct one will be expelled for a week's vacation. A number tried it, but the keeper said he wouldn't be so cruel this time and would give them another chance. So runs life- our greatest expectations are broken and destroyed. However, once a year the prisoners are allowed to discard their stripes and dress in their native costumes, then there is much rejoicing. Of course, you must understand that the members of this prison, as they call it, are all very young and therefore exceedingly foolish, so what they call a prison and a disagreeable place might mean paradise 750 YOU' GRACE GOULD.

RUBYE PARSONS 48 LA coPA DE oao Camping Nestled in among the giant redwood trees was a group of five little cabins. Although this little spot was miles and miles from any town-in fact one had to go several miles to reach a wagon road- there was an air of expectancy and readiness about the camp that told one it would soon be inhabited. Sure enough, winding down the mountain, directly above camp could be seen a long pack train slowly making its way toward camp. On closer inspection it could be seen that the pack train consisted of seventeen horses, fourteen of them saddled horses on which people were riding, the other three heavily laden with packs. Much shouting and laughter could be heard as the party ascended to camp. Even tho' they had ridden fifteen miles by wagon and horseback that day, everyone was in high spirits, for it is wonderfully exhilarating to be out in the mountains, many miles away from the conventional life of town. Just to drink that ice-cold mountain water makes a person new again. Amid much hilarity they took possession of the camp. One cabin was selected to be the cook house and dining room, while the mar- ried couple in the crowd selected the adjacent cabin for their sleep- ing quarters. One of the young people had heard that a negro had lived in that cabin several years before, hence it was christened Coon Flat. Lizzard Cottage, so called because all the lizzards seemed to have a particular fondness for that cabin, was next appropriated by the boys. There were only two cabins left, so one was set aside as the Dance Hall and the other one the girls took for themselves, calling it The Alps, due to the fact that several stairs had to be climbed in order to get inside. I Although everyone was tired there was still lots of pep in the crowd. So after dinner was over, a rousing big bonfire was built in front of the dance hall. The phonograph was started in the dance hall for those who wanted to dance, but most of the time was spent in sitting around the campfire, singing songs to the accompaniment of a guitar, telling jokes, and recalling old times. When all songs and jokes had been exhausted, the merry party broke up and went their several ways to bed, with many laughing warnings to one another to be up early in the morning if they wanted to avoid a cold shower. The next morning camp was astir early, as there was so much to do. Many hands made light work of all the little tasks that had to be performed. There were fishing poles and bait for those who Wanted to fish, saddle horses for the equestrians, and many alluring trails for the hikers, so soon the camp was deserted except for those few who chose to remain in camp with some interesting novel. Thus with fish- ing, hunting, swimming, hiking and riding to occupy their time, the LA COPA DE ORO 49 Weeks slipped by so quickly that it was time to break camp and journey forth to the civilized country before anyone realized that play time was over and it was time to begin thinking of school and study again. There were not a few regrets at leaving, because, even though there had been a few small tiffs between different ones, it had truly been a wonderful summer and already plans were being made for the next one, So one beautiful morning the little camp was deserted, while the caravan of horses could be seen slowly winding up the mountain side. Just before going over the surnrnit they paused to look once more on the spot Where they had spent such a happy time. A faint, Good-bye, old camp was wafted down to the lonely little cabins nestling in among the redwood trees, DOROTHY BARBREE. 50 LA com on oao -M 1 I Q Too Small She was only fourg a pink-cheeked, blue-eyed tow-headed girl.

When the Well, I guess so,', answered us there was a great rush for the broom and the dishpan. And do you know, it really was most surprising how quickly the dishes disappeared and the floors shone with cleanliness. After such minor details had been disposed of, our next procedure was to persuade our grandfather that we just must have his horse and buggy for the trip. It was such a gallant steed, only one eye was blind and the wagon-well, one could not call it dilapidated. So we begged him most earnestly until he said: All right, but I warn yu' right now, don't yu' cripple any of his three good feet. We hitched up the horse and buggyg by that I mean Jimmie and Bess did, because they said: Oh you're too little to manage horses. Can you imagine that! Me, too little!

Yes, of course it was that chair that Little Aunt Mary sat on, while she watched us in swimming. Jimmie scrambled off the wagon and rushed back into the house. He soon came back carrying the object of our undesired delay, and we began our journey over. Yet, here our troubles begang for Jimmie wanted to sit on the chair, Bessie wanted to sit on the chair, and so did I. As a result we all tried. However, I was soon knocked off it. This started me to crying most furiously: I want to sit on the chair. Aunt Mary, make 'em let me ride on the chair. She can'tg I'm going to, Bessie and Jimmie both echoed at once. Big Mary tightened her grasp on the reins and turning around, said: Unless you children behave I'rn going to turn around and go home. Do you hear? Bessie, you sit on the chair. So we proceeded on our way, Jimmie and I a little downhearted, though Bessie felt like the queen of May.

If success in athletics were measured by championships won We could not boast of much success. Thereare other measures of success. Two thirds of the boys found a place on the varsity teams. Of the remaining third all but one was on some class team. In the prelimi- nary practice in each sport more than half the boys in school turned out. This together with the fact that We loose but Carl Smith and Hubert Garner from our teams points toward championships for next year. . One more basket in the Pacific Grove game and we would have been champions. But for a couple of accidents we would have Won the track meet. Keen interest has been shown in class athletics.

A glance at the above score discloses a steady improvement. We held Atascadero scoreless, Gilroy, the strongest team of the league, to twenty six, and two days latter scored on Santa Maria, a team which had not been scored on previously. Mr. Fast, the coach, was supported by a squad consisting oi most of the boys of the school. Every Freshman not on the squad received sufficient instruction in the sport to experience the thrill which is found in no other sport. It will be hard to keep them off the squad next year.

Perhaps the rough country makes it difficult for every country school to have its baseball diamond. King City will have an advantage next year in that the new athletic field will hold two diamonds and every boy in school can play baseball. This year we expect nothing but experience. Lack of fielding practice has resulted in many errors each game. Our first game, in which Captain Garner pitched a wonderful game allowing but one hit and making seven strike outs, shows well the cost of fielding er- rors.

In order to inspire initiatve and to make the gymnasium period a pleasurable one, if possible, the girls themselves have been put in charge of the various activities When- ever such action seemed advisable. Through leadership in their various athletic activities many girls have found unexpected possibilities and abilities in themselves, and have developed a feeling not only of responsibility but of school loyalty. The Senior girls as a whole have proven to be particularly capable as group leaders. Almost the entire care of the roll call, excuses, wearing apparel, etc., has been under their supervision and they have taken care of their duties very Well. The girls are divided into six groups, each group being under the leadership of two Seniors. It would be practically impossible to choose the group which has done the best Work because, at the magi- cal words, The group with the best line-up may play basketball, every group comes to attention with a Will, heads up, backs straight, and hands at sides. Taken as a whole, the girls have shown that they possess the qualities of leaders to an unusual extent, and profiting by this year's experience will undoubtedly make a great success of their leadership next year. . if X Pk GIRLS' BASKETBALL The basketball season opened this year with a great deal of enthusiasm on the part of the girls. A great many came out or Basket- ball, most of whom had never played before but were eager to learn the game. Since there were only three girls left from last year's upper class team, a great deal of practice and coaching was necessary. Those girls who were willing to come out every day' and practice earnestly composed the squads. We Were fortunate this year in having Miss McCully as our coach, for through her enthusiastic interest and careful coaching two good teams were developed. Although King City was unfortunate in the games and did not vvlin the championship, nevertheless the girls learned and showed the principles of good teamwork, sportsmanship and determination. Since practically every girl in school now understands both the rules and the spirit of the game, there should certainly be a Winning team for next year. After the league games were over the interclass games were played. In many ways these proved to be better than the league games, for there was not the win or die spirit of competition that there was in the latter contests. LA COPA DE ORO LA COPA DE ORO 71 Girls, Track The G. C. C. A. L., in order to cooperate with the State Depart- ment of Physical Education in promoting the idea of Play Days which include all girls, rather than the old style track meet which centralized on a few, has decided to divide up the G. C. C. A. L. into a number of small groups. Each of these groups will meet for a Play Day, several small meets thus taking the place of the former large centralized meet. Gonzales and King City will meet at King City on May 17 for a day of competition and fun. Although but these two schools are officially competing, we plan to ask other girls to come to King City on that day to participate and to become acquainted with each other. The events include baseball, tennis, captainball, volleyball, and 50, 60, 75, and 100 yard dashes, 220 and 440 yard relays. basketball and baseball throw for distance, soccerball kick for distance. and basketball throw for a goal. Teams in baseball, captainball, and volley- ball will be mixed, both sides containing girls from both schools while all other events will be run off on the basis of school competition. The girls' plans for track are complete and conform to the best regulations for track preparation. After taking their preliminary limbering-up exercises the girls divide into groups based upon the event for which they are training and follow the day's schedule for that event. The plans made extend over six weeks. 4 Girls who were particularly efficient in the various events were chosen as leaders. Thus Joy Mansfield is the leader of the 100. Della Herbert of the 50, Juliette Lacrabere of the 60, Marcia Lander of the 75 yard dash, Rubye Parsons of the basketball throw for distance, Alice Baker of the soccerball kick, Lillian Beyers of the baseball throw. Edna McKinsey of the relays, and Charlotte Bruce of the basketball throw for goal. With such runners as Della Herbert, Lorraine Garner, Constance Stalker, Eleanor Brownlee, Florence Franscioni, Hazel Gruver and the leaders mentioned above, King City will undoubtedly make an excellent showing at the Play Day and should come out well on top. Sarah Randall's kick of 99 feet in the soccerball kick should be good for a first place. Having such basketball stars as Charlotte Bruce, Rubye Parsons, Eva Carlson, and Rilla McReynolds practicing up on the basketball throws, our records in those events should be unusually high. Some of the Freshmen and Sophomores in the persons of Lillian Beyer, Marian Jessen, Edna Melendy and Elayne McKinsey are making good records in the baseball throw and have very good chances to place in the meet. ' LA COPA DE ORO LA COPA DE oso 73 Boys, and Girls, Tennis Since the new tennis courts were put in at the first of the term, much enthusiasm has been shown by both boys and girls in the game. The courts are full nearly all the time when the students are free, and quite a good deal of good material is being developed. The new courts enable quite a few more students to learn the game and they all find that it is a very interesting and can be a fast game, of course, that is up to the players themselves. Tennis has the hearty support of nearly all the faculty and some of them are very apt at the game. The players are looking forward to the tennis tournament, which is to be held in Pacific Grove in May. Under the coaching of Mr. Fast and Mr. Waibel the boys have been improving lately, and the girls under the leadership of Miss McCully and Miss Weeks are doing as well. Very few of the girls had ever played the game before this year and have had to work up from the' very beginning. Persistent practice and enthusiasm have carried them over the beginner's stage more quickly than might be expected and we shall have several good play- ers to represent us on the teams. The plans for girl's tennis were to have a tournament within each class to determine the best players, and interclass contests, the results of which would decide the players to be sent to the big tournament. The boys are following the same plan and although the winners have not yet been selected, some of the following promise to at least give the rest a good time. Among the boys the Joseph Garner, Bob Hamilton, John Leak, iWarren Imwalle, Edward Padgham, Harold Eade and Walter Clement.. The fore- most of the girls are: Eva Carlson, Della Herbert, Charlotte Bruce, Gertrude Bengard, Dorothy Rogers, Florence Franscioni, Lorraine Garner, and Edna Melendy. From these King City hopes to send teams of girls and boys' singles, doubles and mixed-doubles that will go with the idea of winning something. EDWARD PADGHAM '24 Pl! Pk Sk GIRLS' BASEBALL Since the time between the Baseball and Track seasons was short, the King City girls decided not to enter the G. C. C. A. L. Baseball schedule but to concentrate on Track. Baseball, however, was not neglected, because the various classes played off Interclass games in order to determine the class champion- ship. The Sophomore girls had the highest average, thus Winning 5 points toward the cup for their class. By taking second and third places respectively, the Seniors and Juniors earned 3 and 1 points. The Sophomores particularly deserve credit for their baseball skill, 74 LA COPA- DE ORO Alumni 1913-McCormack, Mary .............. Mrs. Barney Teague .... Los Angeles 1914-Brinan. William ......

' Branch fCrXCDOlf 78 LA COPA DE Ono San Antonio SCHOOL NOTES A High School was opened August thirteenth with eight pupils present, three Sophomores and five Freshmen. The pupils settled down to hard work and were rewarded by a two weeks' vacation in- stead of the one week ordinarily granted for Teacher's Institute. About a week before Thanksgiving we lost one of our Fresh- men, Howard Johnson, who returned to his home in Arbuckle. The day before Thanksgiving we all assembled with the Grammar School students and enjoyed a small program. The next event was a Christmas program at which small presents were exchanged. We enjoyed a two weeks' vacation at this time. When roll was called after the Christmas vacation we found that we had lost another student, Annie Carabajal, who was a Sophomore. This left us but six students to carry on the dignified duties of the high school. We were also rather alarmed to find that an epidemic of chicken-pox had broken out during the holidays, but were disap- pointed when we were allowed but two days' vacation. We enjoyed a small program on Lincoln's birthday and also on Washington's birthday. The memory of St. Valentine was made merry by the distribution of Valentines and by the serving of hot chocolate with our lunches. We are now planning two picnics, eight baseball games and a different commencement. ERNEST WEFERLING, Freshman DESOLATION VALLEY As the tired, dusty traveler reaches his destination, after the long journey over the road which is composed of dust and chuck holes. he sees the land of oak trees and chalk rock which was onfe called Desolation Valley. As his weary eyes stretch over the glaring fields he sees little groups of skinny, bawling cattle, whose tired- legs carry them near and far in search of the very scarce vegetation. He sees tall, gaunt, stoop-shouldered farmers plodding wearily here and there over their worn-out farms. He soon passes the School-House, which lies directly in the dusty route that he must take, and he sees scraggly, under- nourished children playing and quarreling in the dust. The sight sickens him and he turns away and hurries along his Weary course, cursing the thought that brought him through this depressing valley. JAN H. MARTINUS Pk vis if Parkfielcl A DESCRIPTION OF CASTLE MOUNTAIN Castle Peak is a mountain lying Northeast of Parkfield. At one time it was a volcano but it is now extinct. When the valley was LA COPA DE oRo 79 first settled, the government had a signal light upon it for the ships on Monterey Bay. That was so long ago, however, that nothing now remains of it. Government men are working there now and they intend to install another signal light. Castle Peak has served less worthy purposes. When the valley was first settled there were many cattle rustlers here. They stole cattle and took them to the San Joaquin Valley, so Castle Mountain served as a place to rest over night. Cattle used to run on Castle Mountain all the time and often the cattle rustlers would get some of their cattle from its ranges. Castle Peak is the steepest mountain in the Coast Range. There are only a few horseback trails to the summit. The best trail is so steep that as one ascends it and looks up, one can see the preceding riders above, climbing a wall which seems almost perpendicular. OPAL CARR, Ninth Grade CHIEF AND LITA TO THE RESCUE The day was bright and sunny. The fields were green and dotted with flowers. On the Whole it was an irresistible day and Mary decided to get Lita, her beautiful, black horse, and go for a ride. It did not take Mary long to catch her horse, because Lita always came to meet her. Lita, with her beautiful neck arched, galloped and pranced, so that Mary soon came to the edge of a forest where she dis- mounted and dropped the reins in true western style. She walked rapid- ly along the side of the forest until she reached the opposite end, then entered and strolled about leisurely. The trees were tall and majestic. The grass was green beneath them. Yellow and purple violets peeped up here and there. She was over half way through the forest when she thought she smelled Wood burning. She looked about and saw smoke and a blaze ahead of her. As she turned and started to retrace her steps, she saw the fire rapidly encircling her. She began to run. The flames were rapidly approaching now. In the meantime, Chief awakened and missed Mary and Lita. He started dog-fashion to track them. When he stopped to make sure Mary had gone to the forest, he heard a horse neigh. He knew it was Lita. He dashed up to Lita expecting to find Mary. Then he saw the smoke and he knew that Mary must be in the forest. He soon found her track, entered the forest and started into the smoke, which choked him. He was almost exhausted when just a little way ahead he saw Mary lying as she had fallen when she fainted. He grabbed her dress and began to pull her out of the forest. He tugged and dragged his heavy weight until he reached the clearing, where he fell exhausted beside her. WILDA HARLAN, Ninth Grade.
