' JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior Play, Stray Cats, was staged December 10, 1926, at the Grammar School Auditorium. The plot concerned a city photographer who would receive four million dollars from his aunt providing he was married by a certain date, but he was not notified of this until ten hours before the expiration of the time. If he were not married, the money would go to provide a home for Stray Cats. Many amusing incidents occurcd because of his over-anxiety to secure a wife. As between act features, four girls presented a Pierrot and Columbine dance, two girls gave a Spanish dance, and eight Glee Club girls sang Marie, Ah, Marie! and Hy Diddle Diddle. The features were entertain- ing and well received by the audience. The play was very successful due to Mrs. Williams' coaching. CAST Dick Skinner .,.... .,...,............, ......

, 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.

J unior-Senior Party By JOSEPHINE ARNOLD D nlllfw lllll A new custom was estab- lished this year when the Junior-Senior Party was origin- ated for the purpose of creating a closer bond between the up- per classmen. The affair was held in the gymnasium and the members of the two classes appeared in various costumesg some very artistic and original ones were displayed. The evening was spent in dancing to the music of The Californians. At the close of the evening prizes were awarded for the two best cos- tumed persons. The faculty, acting as judges, announced that Donald Cassin as Don Juan, a Spanish noblemang and Margaret Bullard as a member of the Salvation Army were the two most original dressed persons. Light refreshments consisting of punch and cookies were served. Then shortly after midnight the party broke up, the participants being weary but happy- lt is hoped that the Junior and Senior classes to come will make this party an annual affair. Our Athletic Dance, which is an annual affair given by the Student Body in the early spring, was a huge success this year. The hall was very elaborately decorated to represent a snow scene, so realistic that many favorable comments were heard. The cotton was bank- ed in the corners of the room, giving the appearance of a snow storm. The crchestra pit was cleverly arranged to represent a winter garden. The music was furnished by The Californians. The Senior Class had charge of the supper which was served at midnight in the cafeteria. Salad, sandwiches, cake and coffee were on the menu. This well-conducted supper showed good management on the part of the Seniors. . The cafeteria was decorated with red hearts, and red and white crepe paper, carrying out Saint Valentine's colors. Athletic Dance By JULIETTE LACRABERE I The Freshman Class had been very active, working and participating in Student Body affairs, yet had held no party ' of its very own. So it was de- cided to give a party on April 1. The gym was very cleverly decorated in the Freshman colors, pale pink and nile green. The party started at seven-thirty with dancing. At eight o'clock an April Fool track meet was held. Those present were divided into two groups. The Pinks were captained by Gladys Rood and Ben Pierce, and the Greens were headed by Leonor Hickey and Jack Hamilton. Since Mr. and Mrs. Williams won first and second places in the mile, Coach Huebel discovered some new prospects for the track team. The mimic meet ended around nine o'clock with the Pinks victorious with a score of 36 to 32. At nine-thirty punch, ice cream, and cake were served in the cafeteria. After eating, everyone went back to the gym where Pop Warner had a Virginia Reel Class. Dancing was enjoyed until eleven o'c1ock, after which everyone departed for home. 5 Freshmen Party By LEONORE HICKEY
