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.

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.

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.

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.

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

F l LA COPA DE Ono Whiz Bang. Joseph Garner, renowned in his school days for getting by with it, has just reaped a large fortune form the unforseen effects hundred thousand dollars which she regrettably became eligible to, when she sprained her ankle last month. The Holy Hotel, owned and operated by Archie M. Weferling, was again raided for serving seeds in their olives last night. R. R. Russell, local dealer in rags, bags, and bottles of ?, has been elected chairman of the Rotary Club. Miss Sarah Randall, versatile tight-rope walker for Ringling Brothers Circus, recently fell and broke her scapula-clavicular articulation. Those who knew Sarah in-her high school days will doubtless smile, but it's true- time changes all. Miss Marjorie Armstrong recently passed through King City as escort to a troupe of young orphans from the slums of San Francisco, on a tour of the Pacific Coast. Miss Armstrong has done much good work in this line, and says she expects to devote the rest of her life to it. Contrary to all former expectations, Dora Giacomazzi has not been remarried for ten years, and is still getting along very well with her husband. No hard words have passed between us for twenty minutes, she stated. Another proof for the theory that you never can tell l A Jan Martinus and Ernest Lane. ' SEN IOR WILL PART I To whom it may concern: Be it known that we, the class of '26, on this eleventh day of June, in sober mind and good humor, do make this our last will and testament.

Fourth, to the freshmen, we leave the good examples we have
