A novel idea was introduced this year when the members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes gathered on the foot- ---- --'-' ball turf for a rope tying con- test. At a given signal the members of both teams started the fight. The object of this tussel was to see which side could tie the most boys up in the least time. After a long hard tussel the Sophomore boys vanquished the Freshmen boys. A comic football game then followed this amusing stunt. Afterwards, the students and faculty gathered in the gym for an informal dance which ended the afternoon's entertainment. Fresh Rush By JOSEPHINE ARNOLD -. -- One of the first and most important social events of the year was the Freshmen Recep- tion, held the second week of school. During the first part of the evening, there was a group of stunts per- formed in the auditorium by the various classes. The Freshmen stunt was A Letter Home, which was read and enacted, vividly describing some of the students about school. The Sophomores gave a one act play entitled Their First Quarrelf' The Junior's contribution was a Ghost Dance. The Seniors gave two very clever stunts. The girls performed a shadow operation and the boys gave a sketch entitled The Fire Department. In this many original jokes and amusing sayings were included. After the stunts, speeches, and faculty introduction, we adjourned to the gym where the Freshmen roll call and grand march were held. The remain- der of the evening was devoted to dancing. The Californians furnished the music. Cookies and punch were served during the evening. The party broke up at 11:30, admitting the Freshmen as full-fledged members of the Student Body. I .

, The annual Monterey Fair took place in King City on September 24-26, 1926. For Monterey County Fair By ADA CHAMBERS two years the fair has been held in our home town with growing success each time. People from all sections of the country came to see the many different exhibits of live stock and poultry, machines, vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy products and art. Every town and countryside were represented in some way. The various companies had a clever sketch to analyze their industry. Forden Farm with its dairy products and California Orchard Company with its fruits and vegetables were excellent examples. At the King City Grammar School, all the schools of the county had interesting exhibits of educational work. On Friday and Saturday evenings a dance was held at the High School Gymnasium. Athletics were not neglected. During the fair a football game was played with San Luis Obispo, ending with the final score of 14-6 in favor of King City. The track meet with San Luis Obispo was an excellent ad- dition to the entertainment. The King City High School Shop and Agricultural boys prepared exhibits of their work, which were very interesting to the people. The exhibit pre- pared by the Ag. boys was an ideal farm near King City, it being so realistic that it displayed the bridge spanning the Salinas River. Everyone who came to the Fair lingered near this display. The K. C. High Student Body took an active part in the fair by selling ice cream, hot dogs, and candy in order to add money to the Student Body treasury. Subscriptions to King Hi-Ways also were sold. King City has shown through its efforts what a small town can do. The entire country has recognized the ability of our town. The Fair has helped to put King City and Monterey County on the map. Let's keep it up.
