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

' 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 .,.... .,...,............, ......

hh -- King City Hi's Old Clothes p Day, which was staged on April Clothes Day 27 of this year, will remain up- By JULIETTE LACRABERE l permost in the minds of the fellows and girls as one of the peppiest, liveliest, and jolliest days that the Student Body has ever witnessed. The two persons who were responsible for Old Clothes Day are Mr. Williams, who allowed us to have the day, and our President, Abe Hables, who managed the day and made it so successful. ' The big show was staged in the afternoon when the entire student body, after hastily gulped lunches, formed a serpentine and marched through the down-town streets. After letting the world in general know that K. C. U. H. S. was out for a good time, all congregated at the Monterey Bank Corner and gave yells and speeches-advertising the senior play, It Happened in J une. . Enough space can not be given to the snappy and clever costumes that the fellows and girls wore, especially the girls who co-operated so heartily with the fellows in making the day a truly old clothes affair. Elmer Gould as a city dandy surely gave everyone a good reason to forget his troubles. Other shining lights in the costume line were: Abe Hables, Leonor Hickey, Mr. Webb, Miss Hjelte, Ike Hables, Alice Digges and Bill Shuey. Here's to another Old Clothes Day in the future. May it be the decided success that the Old Clothes Day was in the year 1927. , On April 1, the Honor So- ciety members, and faculty ad- visors, Mrs. Williams and Mr. Honor Society Picnics By IONA LANG Warner, went to Pine Canyon - for a picnic. ., The weather looked quite threatening, but everyone was willing to bluff Old Jupiter. Although it misted heavily several times, it was not until we were leaving that it really began to rain. Before lunch Ike and Virgil chose sides for baseball. Two very exciting games were played. Captain Ike's team won the first game, which was played before lunch. After lunch Captain Virgil's team defeated the former winners. Mrs. Williams kept score and Mr. Warner umpired the games. Everyone donated something to eat, even weenies. These were roasted over the fire. Salads, sandwiches, cake, oranges and bananas comprised the rest of the lunch. Everyone who went reported a wonderful time, and came back planning another such picnic for the future. A The Honor Society members who journey to Gruver's natural swimming tank enjoyed the time of their lives. Only a few were able to resist plunging into the cool refreshing water,,and they went so far as to dangle their bared feet in the eddying current, and enjoy the frequent sprays which showered them as a consequence of clumsy divers. Of course there was, as is usually found in a large group, a few who were rough. Can you imagine anything so rude as submerging the head of a dignified instructor? As evening drew on a sumptuous lunch was spread and devoured, as though by cannibals, for the appetites were enormous and the cutlery en- tirely lacking. Everyone enjoyed the day, while some even got thrills from drivers who, desiring to get home sooner, endeavored to take a few turns from the winding boulevard. I
