LA COPA oe Oreo the class began to supply leaders in their junior year has its in- fluence on the conduct of school affairs been allowed to falter. Members of the class of '26 have led the student body right up to nmencement time and as they receive their diplomas graduation eight, one of King City High's most influential classes will pass into that ever increasing body which forms a passive but interested Llumni. Kenneth Mansfield. SENIOR PROPHECY The following clippings were obtained through a device in- vented by C. Beasley, an ardent spiritualist. With the help of this invention Mr. Beasley is not only able to recall the events of the past but also to look into the future. The extraordinary psychism of this machine was brought into play when he gazed into the future of our school paper, KinglHi-Ways, and extracted some of the news contained therein. It is, thought by some, that Mr. Beas- ley's intense study will result in many more wonderful discoveries if his affinity for tips does not result in an early death. Clippings from the 1946 Hi-Ways: Mr. William Luckett, one of our most distinguished alumni, and a leading figure in every movement which goes to make life more worth while, will present to the Woman's Club a detailed discussion on The Care and Bringing Up of Our Younger Citizens. William Will use his own boy-hood as an illustration. Willis Tompkins, the world renowned scientist, has invented 11. new kind of radio. According to Mr. Tompkins, if one uses the mily album as an aerial, one may talk to the old folks. Hazel Louise Gruver has been awarded the National Family Prize which is being given each year by the government to thc woman who has the largest family. Madam Gruver's family con- sisted of fifteen alluring little flappers, to say nothing of eight stalwart income-tax-payers-to-be. It is rumored that Howard CSwissJ Giacomazzi has received an offer of five hundred thousand dollars for his appearance with thc leading All-American foot-lil? llaycrs in a barnstorming tour of the U. S. . -A ' Lloyd L. Thayer, internationally known as the harmony manf' and who replaced the saxaphone with the harmonica in the jazz

LA COPA DE Crm In football, senior boys held positions on the team which their rank and ability entitled them. Joe Garner went through the season as quarter back, while Howard Giacomazzi, Willis Tompkins and Jan Martinus strengthened the team. Basketball claimed but two of the class, Joe Garner and Howard Giacomazzi making the heavy- weight team. Student body publications have more than before been in the care of seniors. On the staff of La Copa De Oro, Joe Garner, Walter Clement, Dorothy Rogers, Marjorie Armstrong, William Luekett, and Howard Giacomazzi have labored to make the book truly representative of student effort and original in every way possible. Since its small beginning last year, King Hi-Ways has been under the direction of members of the class of '26. A compari- son of the latest editions of the paper with those of 1925 will give an idea of what has been accomplished. In addition to merely im- proving the publications, the seniors in charge were influential in the purchase of the printing plant on which both the annual and the paper are being printed this year. 4 At Christmas time the class entertained the school with a short playlet in which members of the class and some of the faculty were shown as they may be several years in the future. Later candy was given to every one and the remainder of the afternoon devotedito dancing. I . ' , The Arrival of Kitty was presented on May 14 as the annual class play. A large crowd attended the affair and expressed them- selves as very well pleased with both the selection of characters and the production as a whole. , , . The year 1926 has been a busy and profitable one for the sen- iors in that the lessons of organization and co-operation have been forcibly brought before them. Joe Garner was elected classupresi- dent for the third time, a remarkable tribute to his ability and popularity. In directing the activities of the class,. he has been assisted by Willis Tompkins, vice president, .Dorothy Hawley, treasurerg and Dorothy Rogers, secretary. Indicative of the pre- dominence of seniors in the affairs of student government, out of eight positions to be filled in the Student Body Executive Council, seven were given to seniors. Jan Martinus, Grayce Gould and Marjorie Armstrong head the Science Club, P. A. L., and Honor Society respectively. Never since

LA COPA :JE Oreo of the recent real estate boom in the Salinas Valley. Miss Lillian Beyer, the only woman of the class of '26 who has been married less than twice, is suffering from a blister on the roof of her mouth, caused by chewing gum with a set of ill- fitting false teeth. She has announced her intention of sueing Dr. F. Ray Peterson M. D., who is alleged to have manufactured the plates, for 3lS30,000, on the grounds that as a result of impaired speech, she was prevented from getting the last word in a quarrel with her husband. Dr. Peterson's lawyer, Jan Martinus will ap- peal the case. His chief argument is that the blister was probably made by a grape seed lodging behind the plate. The old proverb, there's a little bad in every good little girl was illustriously illustrated yesterday when it was discovered that the director of the crime wave, that has been terrorizing all Chi- cago, was Miss Dorothy Rogers. Walter Clement, the local cabinet maker, has received the third award of three dollars for his cedar chest at the state fair. This prize means very much to Mr. Clement. Florence Robles, the Little Spanish Dancer, has collected the orchestra, will present to the K. C. U. H. S. student body a short talk on The Virtues of Syncopationf' It is said that Miss Clara Pierce, whose beautiful voice has been heard nightly over the leading radio stations, will make her first appearance on the Paris stage next fall. Here's hoping Miss Pierce is successful. Reports received here today, state that the royalty of England are becoming very much alarmed over the interest that the Prinvv of Wales is showing toward Grayce Gould, the beautiful Movie Queen of Hollywood. Dorothy Hawley and Florence Franscioni, the leaders of the new Tieldian Faith, plan to make a nation wide tour of the U. S. thoroughly canvassing every state. It is predicted that this new religion will completely wipe out the Christian Faith in the course of a few years. Ernest Lane has received the title of Poet Laureate of Siam. Among his more famous poems are Where There's a sWill, There's a Way, and My Love Is Like An Onion. Kenneth Z. Mansfield, who started out as editor of the King Hi-Ways twenty years ago, recently purchased Captain Billy's
