f ff KING HI-WA YS STAFF At an early meeting' of the Student Body, the students voted to continue the semi-monthly publication of their paper under the name of King Hi- Ways. This paper had been printed successfully for two years, so it was thought that it could again be published and printed by the students. The first year that the paper was put out, it was printed on a multi- graph. During the first year many students became efficient on the machine, and King Hi-Ways was certainly a neat-looking paper. The next year the Student Body purchased a hand-run printing press and equipment. A course in printing was then added to the curriculum. The paper was printed on this press. Seeing how efficient the boys were in printing, the board decided to buy a larger and better press. So we now have a large motor-run press that turns out our King' l-Ii- Ways, of four hundred copies, for this is our present circulation. The material is first linotyped at The Rustler Printing Office and then 1'un out an our printing press. Of cou1'se, the printing of the paper determines much, but without the cooperation of the staff, the paper could not be. The staff must have the material in on time, and after it is corrected, must rewrite it. The staff that was elected this year proved to be very interested in its work, and helped very much to make King Hi-Ways what it is. We expect this paper to continue to prosper as it has in the preceding

EDITORIAL Now, as this, the La Copa De Oro of June 1927, is before you, we stop in the wake of our laborious tasks, to consider the happenings and the success of the year just closing. Each school year tries to surpass every other year that has gone before it in enterprise and accomplishments. The school year of 1926-27 is no exception to this rule, for June 17 marks the close of the most successful and progressive year in the history of King City Hi. It is accomplishment that counts- actions speak louder than words as the old saying has it-and it is this that has characterized the past year and made it an outstanding one. The faculty, officers, and Student Body as a whole may well feel that glow of satisfaction which comes from ac- complishing things worth-while. The school has had a remarkably successful year. The Honor Society has increased its membership steadily throughout the year, until it now has an enrollment of twenty-nine members, the largest in the history of King City Hi School. And increased interest in scholarship has been mani- fested this year and this effort has had results, judging from the increased Honor members. Every department in school was improved materially, and four new courses were added-Agriculture, Farm Mechanics, Dramatics, and Or- chestra. The new courses were all very popular with the students, and the things learned in these courses may be put to practical use after graduation. The athletic teams were well supported this year and consequently had :1 prosperous season, the lightweight basketball team progressing to the semi-finals of the state championship. A noteworthy achievement was the bringing of the B section C. C. A. L. track meet to King City. All the plans and arrangements for the new shop, to be built directly west of the present one, were completed this year. This decisive step in enlarging our school plant was much needed. The old shop will be remodeled into class rooms to relieve the congested condition in the main builing. While the students this year did not enjoy the new shop, next year's students will reap the benefits of this year's sowing, in the form of the new shop building that will greet them when they return to school. The school grounds as a whole have been greatly improved this year, the gardens blossoming forth as a regular horticulturist's dream. A most notable improvement was the getting of our track into its present perfect condition. Many social affairs were presented under the auspices of the Student Body, as well as assemblies and programs for special occasions. The Student Body also supported the semi-monthly paper, King Hi-Waysg and the Annual, La Copa De Orog and elected their respective staffs. From the above array of accomplishments-not all by any means-it may be seen that the school year just completed was indeed a successful one.
