The following boys of the Freshmen class received the K, C. block: Marion Mansfield, Martin Mozzini, and Vergil Reed. We felt that the success of the lightweight basketball team, which blqought home the C. C. A. L. championship, was due largely to our class, for six of our boys played on it. They were: Martin Mozzini, Marion Mansfield, James Bianchi, Edgar Brownlee, Philip Collins, and Edward Leighton. The class was proud of Vergil Reed who represented them at the State Track Meet held at Modesto, and at the Northern Section of C. I. F. Track Meet. The Sophomore class won the interclass championship and received the silver cup donated by the King City Mercantile Company. Boys who received special awards in athletics were: Vergil Reed, gold spikes, Martin Mozzini and Marion Mansfield, gold basketballs. During our Junior year we were again active in athletics. The Juniors won the Hables Interclass Trophy. This was the third year we had won it, so we were entitled to keep it. We also received the King City Mercantile Company cup after we had de- feated the Seniors in basktball. Various awards were received by members of our class. Seven pupils, Edgar Brownlee, Alma Jean Knowles, Lucy Mahler, Marion Mansfield, Beryl Morgan, Vergil Reed, and Louie Wasson received certificates for perfect attendance.

Those in the cast were: Alice.Digges, Edward Leighton, Marion Mansfield, Lewellyn Tully, Berna- deen Dickey, and Philip Collins. The Junior Prom, which was given in June, was a pronounced success. The many colored lanterns used in the decoration gave a very gay effect. Our senior year passed very 1'apidly because of our many activities. In athletics the following boys won letters: Edgar Brownlee, Marion Mansfield, Edward Leighton, Frank Tunzi, and Martin Mozzini. The senior girls who were in athletics were: Lorine Annear, Dorothy Eade, Inez Palmer, Verna Selleck, Marian Harrison, Vivian Dutton, Ruth Evans, Lucy Mahler, Beatrice McGuire.

VVe had numbered forty-seven the year that we entered high school 3 and now that we are ready to graduate we find that many have dropped out, and that others have come in. There are forty-two in the 1929 graduating class. Farewell! A word that must be, and hath been- A sound which makes us lingerg-yet-farewell. --Mrs. Belle Hughes, '29.

Many valuable thoughts were gained by the students. The invocation was pronounced by Father O'Keefeg and the Benediction, by Chaplain Bronson. The stage of the grammar school auditorium was very beautifully decorated with flowers carrying out the class colors. This year is the first in the history of the school that the Seniors attended one hundred percent. COMMENCIEMENT The Commencement exercises of the Class of '29 were held on June twelfth in the grammar school auditorium. The stage was beautifully decorated by the Juniors. The valedictory address was given by Donald Caddy, who won the honor for highest scholarship in his class. The salutatory was given by Verna Selleck, who won the second highest. President of the Senior Class, Vergil Reed, presented the Senior Class gift to the school. The senior with the highest average was then presented with the American Legion loving cup. The main speaker of the evening, Superior Judge C. J. Goodell of San Francisco, and who is a graduate of the University of California, gave a message to the meni- bers of the graduating class which will long be an inspiration to them. Music was furnished for the program by the high school orchestra. SENHOIR CLASS HHSTORY High School! This was our goal as we proceeded through the land of grammar school. At last, the long-looked-for day arrived, and on August 17, 1925, our group of forty-seven came to high school. During our Freshman year we were timid and greeng but not long was this Irish hue to remain, as we were soon perfectly capable of following our leaders, the Sophs and Seniors. As is always the case when a group of Freshman enter high school we wandered around aimlessly for the first few days, and a few really got lost in the endless maze of rooms and halls. However, the kind and sympathetic teachers guided us safely to their folds. On September eighteenth the upper classmen gave us the usual reception. We had to please them whether it pleased us or not, nevertheless, everyone had a wonderful time, and this actually included the Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected Alice Digges, presidentg Dorothy Eade, vice-president, and Marlyn Lotz, secretary-treasurer. During the year we were well represented in athletics, 'especially in basket ball. Members of our class on championship team were: Elmer Giacomazzi, Martin Mozzini, Marion Mansfield, and
